Chapter 22
Chapter 22 league opener

When the sun just shone into the room in the morning, Li Qingshan had already gotten up.

He washed up and stuffed his jersey and sneakers into his backpack.This afternoon is the start of FC United's first league game of the season. Their opponent is the town of Grantham in Lincolnshire.

Lincolnshire is located to the east of Manchester, and it takes about two hours by bus.Although it is an amateur-level league, before the game, go to the field to adapt to the field, submit the list of players in advance, and the officials and referees sent by the Football Association are responsible for organizing the game.It's relatively normal.

In order for the players to have a lunch break at noon, FC United need to set off in the morning, and then let the players take a rest in the hotel to maintain their strength for the afternoon game.

After packing up the equipment for the afternoon game, Li Qingshan put his backpack on his back, pushed open the door of the apartment, and walked towards the English league match in the sunshine.

On the other hand, Alma also got up very early, but she did not set off for Grantham Town as early as the players. The fans only need to arrive at the stadium before the game. She needs to go to Newton West We met up with other fans at the S Bar and set off on the train.

At this time, a group of fans had already gathered in the bar of Newton Sith, and the owner of the tavern, Joseph, was sitting at the bar and chatting with a group of people, grinning.Except that Joseph himself is a diehard fan of FC United, he is also very much looking forward to the arrival of the season.The business in the tavern during the offseason is not good. After the season starts, if the team wins, the fans will naturally come to the tavern for a few drinks to celebrate. If the team loses, the fans also need a few drinks to soothe their injured hearts. .Regardless of the team's results, at least the tavern's business will be much better than in the offseason.

But Boss Joseph is also a fan, FC United is his home team, the best team can win every game.

The topic of fans is naturally inseparable from football. The fans of FC United are of course talking about this afternoon's game.

They are all going to watch the game in the afternoon, so the tavern will naturally be closed for the afternoon.

"Guys, don't forget to come here for a drink after watching the game!" Boss Joseph shouted with his hands raised high.

"No problem, if the team wins, you must drink until you close the door." The fans responded enthusiastically.

......................
FC United players and players came to Giger Lane one after another.

Team coach Markinson stood in his office, looking through the window at his disciples who were fighting on the court.The team has been promoted to the Northern Super League Super League Group for three years, and the team has been unable to get any closer in the past three years.This has increased the inner pressure of the coach who has been in charge of the team since its establishment until now.

Li Qingshan, who came to vote this season, gave him a boost to his goal of upgrading this season.

He already felt that Li Qingshan was the most talented player he had ever seen.

Yes, genius.

He still remembered that when Li Qingshan first joined the team, he was just a stunned young man who could only head the ball and had almost no ability with his feet.Although his header is too abnormal.

However, in the past two months, Li Qingshan's progress has shocked the coaches of FC United.Now Li Qingshan can skillfully use his body to protect the ball.His passing is also far-fetched, and he can even take a violent long-range shot from outside the penalty area. With the strength of this big man's feet, he can make a round shot. As long as he hits the goal, he is extremely threatening.

Now he wants to be a real center forward more and more. He is physically strong, not slow, and can cooperate with his teammates. The most terrifying thing is his unsolvable header.At this level of competition, Makinson can't imagine anyone who can stop this monster.

Therefore, in his mind, promotion this season is a certainty.

"Maybe Li Qingshan will go to the professional arena next season." Ma Jinson sighed inwardly. He knew that a player with such ability should not hang out in the amateur league. The small pool of the amateur league can't hold such a big fish.

However, even if Li Qingshan is poached by a professional team, FC United will not lose money. According to the agreement reached in 2001 on the transfer principles of football players by FIFA, UEFA and the European Commission, after the transfer of players, his mother The team will receive a youth training compensation as compensation.If Li Qingshan now plays for FC United for one season and enters the professional arena from FC United, then of course FC United will be Li Qingshan's home team for youth training. In this way, every time Li Qingshan transfers, FC United will receive a sum of money .

In Ma Jinsen's view, as long as a player like Li Qingshan shows his ability, there will be professional league teams looting him. Considering his Chinese identity, there will even be top league teams who hope to open up the Chinese market to sign him. .

Li Qingshan, who was chatting and laughing with his teammates, did not expect that his head coach was already thinking about how to squeeze his wool.

"Just beat one or two professional teams in the FA Cup." Markinson secretly made up his mind.

According to the usual practice, before the first game, the head coach should say something to set the tone for this season.

Makinson pushed open the door of the office, walked up to the players, and gestured with both hands for the players who were chatting in twos and threes to be quiet.

The players gathered quickly, and Makinson's prestige in the team was still very high.

"Guys, the first round of this season will start this afternoon. This season, our goal is still to upgrade!"

Ma Jinson paused after saying this sentence. The goal of FC United at the beginning of its establishment was to hope to be promoted to the professional league. The strength of the league's teams is much stronger than that of their lower-level league teams, and they cannot succeed in the league as they did in previous years.

"We have two new aids this year, Lee and Nick. You all know their strength. It can be said that we are stronger than last year!"

"We worked hard this year, and I don't want to stay at this level at all! Not at all!!" Marginson roared.

"National North League! We'll be there next season!!!"

"Northern League! Northern League! Northern League!!" The players' emotions were driven by Makinson, shouting their goals.

Li Qingshan was also shouting along with the players, he liked the atmosphere of the whole team working hard for one goal.

At this time, he found that Adam Jones beside him shouted and shouted, and the voice became: "8 pounds, 8 pounds, 8 pounds."

After the players stopped, Li Qingshan quietly poked Jones: "Adam, what are you calling 8 pounds for?"

Adam Jones gave Li Qingshan a strange look: "Have you checked the team's bonus policy? A goal is £8."

Li Qingshan rubbed his nose. Apart from training, he was training. He didn't know about these things.

"But you are a central defender, why are you thinking about scoring bonuses?"

"Never underestimate the heart of a defender, Lee"

.........

After Makinson delivered his pre-season mobilization speech, the players boarded the red bus that went with the team to the away game and embarked on the journey of this dream season.
