Chapter 222: Warming Up

Quancheng team and Qilu team reached the final of the AFC Champions League at the same time, and their ability to achieve such results is inseparable from the excellent performance of Lin Qi and An Run.

Lin Qi and An Run are the absolute core of the Quancheng team and the Qilu team respectively, and it can be said that the Quancheng team and the Qilu team can enter the final of the AFC Champions League, and Lin Qi and An Run played a vital role.

Needless to say, An Run, who can be called a legend of Chinese football, has been praised by fans as the leader of Chinese football in the future since his debut. In this era when Chinese football is gradually rising, the emergence of Anrun has made fans see real hope, and they feel that under the leadership of Anrun, Huaxia football will be able to shine incomparably brightly in the next few years!

Until Lin Qi was born, unlike An Run, who was called a football genius since childhood, Lin Qi almost came out of nowhere, and when he first joined the Quancheng Youth Team, he couldn't even bounce the ball well.

However, in just a few months, Lin Qi showed his extraordinary ability to break goals, and under his leadership, the Quancheng Youth Team overcame all the obstacles and occupied the second place in the North Division in the halfway point of the Huayi League.

Then Lin Qi was selected to the Quancheng team, and in the first game, Lin Qi conquered all the fans of the Quancheng team with his magical performance. After sitting in the main position and becoming the core of the Quancheng team, Lin Qi only took less than half a year.

In the final stage of the 98 season, the Quancheng team even won the Super Cup in one fell swoop because of Lin Qi's goal, which was also the first championship trophy won by the Quancheng team since its establishment!

After the 99 season. Lin Qi continued his magical performance on the court. Under his leadership, Quancheng have achieved unprecedented results, currently sitting second in the standings of the Chinese League, reaching the semi-finals of the Super Cup, and successfully reaching the final of the AFC Champions League, which is the most competitive and the top league in Asia.

It took Lin Qi less than a year and a half to think that the fans of all over China have proved what is the real "God of War"!

Under his leadership, the Quancheng team was almost invincible!

Lin Qi's achievements in the 99 season are not inferior to An Run, and even more dazzling than Lin Qi, he helped the Chinese youth team win the coveted world championship in Chile this summer!

This is something that Anrun could not do in the past. To some extent, Lin Qi is really surpassing An Run.

Fans vaguely remember. Lin Qi inherited Anrun's No. 9 jersey in the Quancheng youth team when he debuted, and he also challenged Anrun.

At that time, all the media and fans felt that Lin Qi was being ashamed. But now it seems that Lin Qi is not ashamed. After such a long effort. Lin Qi is already the same as An Run. He has become an iconic figure in Chinese football.

He is not a legend, but he is the god of war of Chinese football and the invincible god of war!

Quancheng and Qilu met in the final of the AFC Champions League. Lin Qi and An Run have once again become the most focused figures. This time, not only the media in China are paying attention to them, but also the media in the whole of Asia.

Lin Qi or An Run, who is stronger?

The answer to this question may be found in this AFC Champions League final!

On the second day after the AFC Champions League semifinals were fully concluded, various media launched heated discussions about Lin Qi and An Run, some media said that An Run is a legend that can never be surpassed, and some media said that Lin Qi is the god of war who can surpass the legend.

The media quarreled because of this issue, but no matter how they argued, these Chinese media were very happy, because whether it was Quancheng or Qilu team, they were both teams in the Chinese League, and this season's AFC Champions League championship must belong to Huaxia, and Lin Qi and An Run are also Chinese players, no matter which of them is strong or weak, they are the pride of Chinese football.

The reason why they quarrel over the question of who is stronger is Lin Qi or An Run is also a way for the Chinese media to express their excitement......

As the quarrel progressed, Lin Qi and An Run were once again pushed to the forefront, and countless media reporters poured into the training base of the Quancheng team and the Qilu team, and they wanted to conduct some interviews with Lin Qi and An Run.

However, Lin Qi and An Run seemed to have disappeared, and they could only be seen on the training grounds of the two teams.

Neither Lin Qi nor An Run chose to be interviewed by the media at this time, they have more important things to do, before the final of the AFC Champions League, Quancheng team and Qilu team, Lin Qi and An Run have to have a series of duels in the Chinese League!

In order not to affect the preparation of the whole team, the Quancheng team and the Qilu team respectively protected Lin Qi and An Run, who are the most critical players in the two teams, and they carry the desire of the two teams for the championship.

The media's reporters' wish to interview Lin Qi and An Run did not come true, but most of the reporters stayed in Quancheng.

The whole Quancheng team is filled with the smell of gunsmoke, the Quancheng team and the Qilu team, these two teams from the same city, the two kings of the Chinese League and the AFC Champions League, will have a duel to determine the ownership of the championship in the last few weeks of the season!

The first match between the two teams is the Super Cup semi-finals, the Qilu team gave up the Super Cup early, so they got more rest, and the Quancheng team has to prepare for the Super Cup semi-finals.

Chen Song was very worried about Lin Qi before the game, and he repeatedly asked Lin Qi if he would continue to participate in the Super Cup. With Quancheng advancing to the AFC Champions League final, the Super Cup match is irrelevant, and Chen Song doesn't want Lin Qi to waste his energy in the Super Cup match.

But Lin Qi resolutely appeared, he said that he had no problem with his physical strength at all, and his whole state was unprecedentedly good.

Can it be good, Lin Qi has just greatly increased his speed. After three or four days of training. Lin Qi also has a certain grasp of his speed, although he still can't fully adapt to this speed, but he will not fly into the opponent's goal with the football after the header......

Lin Qi is right, his form has never been better, and he is eager to continue honing his speed with the competition......

In the semi-finals of this Super Cup, Chen Song continued to follow the style of play of the Quancheng team in the Super Cup, and the second substitute players of the Quancheng team all started in this game.

They want to help Lin Qi in the game and help the Quancheng team advance to the final of the Super Cup!

It is worth mentioning that Chen Song did not continue to send Zhao Lin in this game. Zhao Lin is also a key player for the Spring City team to sprint in the Chinese League next, and it is obviously a waste to send him to play in the Super Cup.

And. Although Zhao Lin is very powerful. However, his characteristics could not be perfectly matched with the Spring City team that played on the field.

Most of the players in the Quancheng team were the second substitutes of the Quancheng team, and in the face of the strong Hangzhou West Lake team, they could only choose to play defensive counterattacks, while Zhao Lin was not good at defense. I'm also not good at quick counterattacks. It doesn't make any sense for him to appear.

This time. What the Quancheng team needs is another player - Chen Biao!

Yes, it's Chen Biao! It's not Xu Zhen, another midfielder who has played in the Super Cup, but Chen Biao, who is stronger than Xu Zhen!

Compared to Xu Zhen. Chen Biao has more experience in defense, and with him in charge, the Quancheng team's defense in this Super Cup semi-final can be more solid.

Although Xu Zhen can replace Chen Biao's position to a certain extent, Xu Zhen is still a little too young, and in a crucial game, it is obviously Chen Biao who is more reassuring.

And this Super Cup semi-final second leg match is a crucial game for the Spring City team!

Quancheng lost to Hangzhou West Lake with a score of 2:4 in the first leg of the Super Cup semi-finals, and they cannot afford to lose this game, in order to reach the final of the Super Cup, they need to beat their opponents by at least two goals to be possible!

For this reason, Chen Song had to send Chen Biao, which also showed the importance that the Quancheng team attached to the Hangzhou West Lake team.

Chen Biao's debut really made the back line of the Quancheng team unusually stable, although most of the players in this game were the second substitutes of the Quancheng team, but these substitutes showed that they were not weaker than the main players of the Quancheng team in the game.

They play harder than the main players, and the advantage of physical strength and fighting spirit allows them to make up for the gap in strength between them and the main players of the Spring City team.

With the efforts of the entire Quancheng team, it is difficult for the Hangzhou West Lake team's attack to threaten their goal!

You must know that in the last round of the matchup, the Hangzhou West Lake team also broke the goal of the Quancheng team four times in a row, and in this game, there was only one more Chen Biao in the back line of the Quancheng team, but the Hangzhou West Lake team could not find any chance to score.

Chen Biao's role in the defense of the Quancheng team can be seen, although he is only one person, he can effectively integrate the backline of the Quancheng team, so that the defenders of the Quancheng team form a well-functioning whole.

And don't forget, Chen Biao is the most capable runner in the Quancheng team except for Lin Qi, and his active running and scrambling alone annoyed the Hangzhou West Lake team.

Under the premise of solid defense, the rapid counterattack of the Quancheng team also played well. Although without the help of Luo Ming and Lu Fei, Lin Qi, who has speed, showed his strong impact in this game.

Today's Lin Qi doesn't know those extraordinary skills, after he gets the ball in the front court, he has only one choice, that is, to use his speed to force a breakthrough.

Lin Qi's explosiveness is strong enough, his acceleration is quite fast, coupled with the increase in speed, the defenders of the Hangzhou West Lake team can't keep up with him at all.

Lin Qi's speed advantage was vividly reflected in this game, and he took advantage of the opportunity of quick counterattack in the first half of the game to penetrate the goal of the Hangzhou West Lake team twice!

Hangzhou West Lake became the first team in the Chinese League to taste the power of Lin Qi's speed, and in front of Lin Qi's speed, the defenders of the Hangzhou West Lake team were as slow as snails.

In addition to Lin Qi's almost open Barty GOAL, the players of the Hangzhou West Lake team couldn't stop him from scoring at all.

The final score is 3:0! The Quancheng team defeated Hangzhou West Lake with a score of 3:0 at home with an incomplete formation, and successfully entered the final of the Super Cup with an aggregate score of 5:4.

Lin Qi played a hearty game. Running fast like this is the greatest pleasure on the course. Lin Qi couldn't figure it out now, why was he so stupid some time ago, why didn't he add all his spare attribute points to speed earlier?

If he can have this kind of speed earlier, Lin Qi can be sure that he will definitely score more goals in all competitions!

Lin Qi's total goals this season have surpassed An Run's, reaching an astonishing 39 goals!

An Run was still ahead of Lin Qi in the first half of the season, but in the second half of the season, in order to prepare for the AFC Champions League, the Quancheng team let An Run participate in the rotation many times, which made his goals overtaken by Lin Qi.

Thirty-nine capsules. And that's still not counting the number of goals scored at the World Youth Championships. If you count the nine goals in the World Youth Championships, then Lin Qi's total number of goals has reached forty-eight!

This makes Lin Qi almost the player with the most goals in the world this season!

And this season's competition is not completely over, Lin Qi's goals will continue to increase, and breaking through 50 goals should be no pressure for Lin Qi. Today's journalists are speculating. How many goals can Lin Qi reach. Is it possible to have more than 60 grains?

This is very likely, according to what fans and the media know about Lin Qi, they know that the more important the game is for the Spring City team. The more intense the game, the more Lin Qi can break the opponent's goal in the game.

Combined with the Super Cup final and the AFC Champions League final, Springs still have a total of five games to play this season, and it is entirely possible for Lin Qi to score twelve goals in five games......

Fans are looking forward to that moment!

Among the previous Chinese players, the one who holds the single-season goal record is Anrun, who scored a total of 32 goals in all the games of the 98 season last season!

Although Anrun is expected to break his own record this season, no one takes his record seriously, because Lin Qi's goals can even reach twice as many as Anrun's goals last year!

No matter how hard An Runzong tried, it was impossible for him to overtake the number of goals again when the Qilu team had four games left.

Lin Qi can be said to have gotten all the top scorers he can, including the top scorer in the Chinese League, the top scorer in the AFC Champions League, and the top scorer in Asian football!

Of course, these honors are not what Lin Qi desires the most, what he most desires is to be able to win all the championships he can win this season, if the Quancheng team can win a triple crown, it will be too perfect.

However, for the triple crown, Lin Qi also thought about it, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could help the Quancheng team win the triple crown with his own strength.

The Qilu team is not vegetarian, the trident composed of An Run, Lin Heng and Zhou Tao is not vegetarian, they will definitely become a roadblock on the road to the championship of the Quancheng team in the Chinese League and the AFC Champions League!

Not to mention the triple crown, even if the Quancheng team can only win one championship trophy from the Qilu team, they will be content......

After the semi-finals of the Super Cup, it is the 36th round of the Chinese League, and the opponent of the Quancheng team in this round is the Royal Yanjing team!

After the defeat in the AFC Champions League, the Royal Yanjing team has carried out deep introspection, and now they are living in a reform stage of replacing the old and the new, and a series of young players such as Zhu Shaofei are gradually becoming the mainstay of the Royal Yanjing team.

Among them, Zhu Shaofei has reaped the greatest benefits in this reform, he has grown into the offensive core of the Royal Yanjing team after half a season of games, and most of the goals of the Royal Yanjing team revolve around Zhu Shaofei.

Zhu Shaofei's strength is actually not bad at all, how to say that he is also a young player comparable to Lin Heng. If Lin Qi hadn't been born, in the Asian Youth Championships and the World Youth Championships, Zhu Shaofei should be the absolute main center of the Chinese youth team.

It's a pity that he encountered an opponent who was too perverted~ and Lin Qi's strength had reached a level where Zhu Shaofei could only look up......

Now in the reports of the Chinese media, the names of Zhu Shaofei and Lin Heng can no longer appear next to Lin Qi's name, and they and Lin Qi are no longer players at the same level.

In the Chinese League, the only one who can still suppress Lin Qi is An Run, and only An Run's name can be compared with Lin Qi's name!

led the Quancheng team to the final of the AFC Champions League, Lin Qi's achievements are too dazzling, and his achievements have far surpassed Zhu Shaofei and Lin Heng and other typical young players.

But even so, Zhu Shaofei still had the idea of competing with Lin Qi. This is not because Zhu Shaofei is arrogant, but because he has regarded Lin Qi as a goal for him to catch up with and surpass!

Maybe this goal will never be achieved in his life, but Zhu Shaofei will never give up this goal, only in this way can he become stronger.

Before the start of this game, Zhu Shaofei was very excited, and he finally got the opportunity to fight Lin Qi again. Although he should not be Lin Qi's opponent this time, being able to fight Lin Qi directly still made Zhu Shaofei unable to sleep with excitement.

He didn't want to defeat Lin Qi, he just wanted to improve himself as much as possible in the direct confrontation between the two!

Zhu Shaofei worked harder in training, and he and his entire team were waiting for the challenge of the Quancheng team with a more modest idea!

I have to say that the Royal Yanjing team has undergone a big change, as a traditional giant, they have abandoned the arrogance that the traditional giants should have, but humbly asked the Quancheng team, a new strong team in the Chinese League, to learn from it.

The achievements of the Quancheng team in the AFC Champions League have won the respect of the Royal Yanjing team! (To be continued......)
