Coach, I want to play football!

Chapter 875 Funding Folk Football

The final result was that the two sides maintained a one-to-one score until the end of the game. Although Ye Qi came on as a substitute, there was really too little time left for him, which resulted in the game being over as soon as his condition improved.

Mainly because Eddie Howe's two substitutions at the end really disrupted Liverpool's offensive rhythm in the final moments.

As a result, Liverpool had to swallow the bitter pill of their own rotation and only scored one point against the weak Bournemouth at home.

However, this is Liverpool's first draw this season. The previous eleven league games have all been decided.

After seeing off Bournemouth at home, Liverpool will also play at home the next week.

The opponent Ye Qi faced in this round was very familiar with him, and that was his former club, the defending Premier League champion Leicester City.

Leicester City this season no longer has the same style as last season. The main reason is that the departure of the main core players such as Ye Qi and Kante has weakened the overall strength of the Blue Fox. Secondly, after one more Champions League competition, this has made the Blue Fox already weak. The poor bench depth is even less rich.

So they often have to face the dilemma of the league or the Champions League. In the end Ranieri chose the Champions League!

First of all, the Champions League is more important. This is the first time for the Blue Fox to play in the Champions League and naturally want to go further.

Secondly, Ranieri knows that his team is very dangerous in the league this season. After giants such as Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool have begun to recover, and at the same time, the powerful Tottenham Hotspur are as strong as ever, so the competitive pressure in the league is really high. big.

Ranieri simply gave up the league and kept the Champions League. In his opinion, the first goal is to qualify for the Champions League group!

And this choice is almost wise, because the Blue Fox has currently scored 12 points in Group G, almost locking in a qualifying spot.

The main reason is that Blue Fox's life is relatively good, and there are no particularly strong opponents in this group. They are Belgium’s traditional powerhouse Club Brugge, Denmark’s giant Copenhagen, and Portuguese club Porto.

So when this group came out, although Leicester City's lineup suffered heavy losses, the outside world generally believed that the Blue Fox's qualifying problem was not big.

In the end, it is likely that the Blue Fox and Porto will advance together.

So without much pressure in the Champions League group stage, Ranieri slowly turned his attention to the league.

In fact, Ranieri doesn't have such big ideas about defending the league championship. But he really thought about holding on to the top four Champions League spots.

Leicester City are currently ranked third in the standings, well... they are on the same point as Liverpool!

This is the result of Ranieri focusing on the Champions League in the past two months. If we give up the main attack in the Champions League, the ranking will be difficult to say.

So even though the Blue Foxes don't have the unparalleled style they had in the early stages of last season, they're not too far behind.

The main reason is that we are not even halfway through the league, so everything is hard to say. Even Arsenal, currently ranked fifth, may have the possibility of being overtaken by latecomers.

In the player tunnel, Ye Qi met Vardy and Mahrez. He smiled and went up to hug each other.

The few people exchanged greetings with each other. Although they are now their own masters, their friendship has not changed.

Some time ago, Ye Qi's company held an event, and Vardy and Mahrez went to support it.

At the same time, Vardy was preparing for the v9 youth training academy, and Ye Qi also donated money.

However, the youth training academy founded by Vardy gave Ye Qi an inspiration, and he is now also funding some private youth training organizations in China.

For example, the teacher who supported teaching in Guizhou and Guizhou and some private football organizations in Guizhou who had contacted him before.

This starting point is not to train professional players, but to bring convenience to people who love and enjoy football.

For example, a village in Guizhou and Guizhou wants to hold its own football match. In fact, it is just for the excitement and physical fitness.

Those participating in the competition are all local villagers. In addition to farmers, they are also migrant workers who have moved to the city to work.

Moreover, the prizes in the competition are relatively simple, just some local specialties from rural areas, such as goose, chicken, or bacon and pig's trotters.

Ye Qi's sponsorship is not used for prizes, but for the construction of football fields and lawns, as well as some competition and training facilities.

At the same time, Ye Qi also plans to subsidize the wages of the "players" participating in the game during the game.

Because most farmers or migrant workers have to put their jobs on hold if they want to come back to play football. This is undoubtedly a big trouble for most of the "players" who are the breadwinners of their families.

Everyone is not rich, but they don’t play football because they make too much money and have nothing to do.

However, this proposal was temporarily rejected by the village party secretary, because the village party secretary believed that such funding would change the original intention of this event.

They organized it because they like football. If they play football for wages, many "players" may think it is a career. In the end, their minds are too focused on playing football, and when there are no games for most of the year, they may not be interested in their own work.

Ye Qi didn't know what to do, but he respected the choices of the local village party secretary and the villagers themselves.

It's just that the outside media doesn't know all this. Even many media and fans don't know that in a remote mountainous county in Guizhou, a unique football event is being planned.

Vardy's youth academy is to support and train some talented players, but for various reasons there is no way to continue to receive youth training.

This is just like how he was back then. Maybe he had been caught in the rain, so he wanted to hold an umbrella for others.

Ye Qi is different. He just hopes that everyone can enjoy the joy of football and the passion brought by sports.

It doesn't matter whether you are professional or not.

The scene of Ye Qi greeting Leicester City players was naturally filmed by the director, because everyone knows how Ye Qi achieved mutual success in Leicester City last season and killed everyone.

Zhan Jun said on the screen: "Ye Qi also stepped forward to say hello to the Leicester City players. They were teammates last season. Although it was only a short season, the Blue Fox fairy tale they created has become a symbol of English football. A great symbol in the history of the altar!"

Liu Yue also said: "I believe that last season we all left an indelible impression on each other."

Zhan Jun nodded: "Okay, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides first."

"First of all, the home team Liverpool, the goalkeeper is Karius, and the four defenders are Moreno, Matip, Lovren and Klein."

"The double defensive midfielder is Emre Can partnering with captain Henderson, the attacking midfielder is Wijnaldum, the two ribs are Coutinho and Mane, and the single arrow forward is our Chinese center Ye Qi!"
