On August 30, Beijing time, the Bundesliga Bochum side confirmed that the team's 31-year-old winger Li Qinglong will not be able to meet with the South Korean team due to a knee injury. The injury occurred in the third round of the Bundesgue 17 against Hamburg on August 17, when Li Qinglong left the field injured in a confrontation. After the recent MRI results confirmed, Li Qinglong's knee injury will definitely be treated in Germany. This also means that On the list of 26 people circled by Bento this time, Li Qinglong became the first person to quit. From the former wingman to the current glassman, injuries are the reasons that hinder his further development.
Li Qinglong was once again missed the list
<h1>A talented player who became famous at a young age</h1>
Li Qinglong was talented and famous at a young age. Entering the Seoul echelon at the age of 16, he officially stepped onto the professional stage two years later, and was selected for the South Korean national team at the age of less than 20, making his national team debut in the second stage of the World Preliminary Tournament against Jordan. As a right winger, he is good at running, fast, often relying on speed to catch up, and even eating opponents raw. During his time in FC Seoul, he made 78 appearances, scoring 12 goals and having 20 assists. Together with the team's younger brother Qi Chengyong, he is called "Seoul Double Dragon". In 2009, ESPN named it one of the "Top 50 Potential Superstars of the Future."
Seoul Double Dragon of the year
The national team is also a perfect match
On August 14, 2009, Lee Ching-sung officially landed in the Premier League for 4.4 billion won, becoming the seventh player and youngest player in the history of Korean football in the Premier League. In Bolton's first season, Li Qinglong played a role, playing in all competitions in the third line Li Qinglong played 34 games, scored 4 goals, and had 6 assists, with his help, Bolton completed relegation.
The first season of the transfer to Bolton conquered the fans
And then the fans were most impressed by the 2010 South African World Cup group stage south Korea and Argentina, the first half Of li Qinglong from the back of the high-speed plug, a steal after raw eating Argentine center-back DeMicelis, completed the goal, so that the "flying" xiaolong people became famous. In the 10/11 season, Li Qinglong played 31 games for Bolton in all competitions and contributed 3 goals and 8 assists, which also made many giants throw olive branches to him. But no one could have imagined that in the summer of 2011, an accident would completely change his fate.
Demichelis' classic goal is remembered for him
<h1>Injuries changed his fortunes</h1>
July 30, 2011, is a day that Li Qinglong still can't forget, in a warm-up match with the fifth league team, because Li Qinglong repeatedly dribbled people to cause dissatisfaction with the opponent defender Miller, he used a "murderous" flying shovel to put Li Qinglong down, the South Korean winger was immediately in pain, and finally diagnosed, Li Qinglong's leg bone was broken, which meant that Li Qinglong had to undergo surgery, and his 11-12 season had not yet begun, and he had already sadly ended. Although he played 2 games in the end, it was no longer what he felt like then.
A broken leg changed his fate
This injury changed Li Qinglong's life, and after recovering, his state was much worse than before, and dribbling people and running became relatively clumsy because of the impact of this injury. The talented genius disappeared and was replaced by the glass man who was constantly waiting for an opportunity on the bench. With the decline of form, the team was eventually relegated, although Li Qinglong was still able to get a steady appearance and goals in each season, but the ensuing injuries, often resting or operating on him, and the peak of the year were judged by two. Just imagine, if the tragedy of July 30 had not happened, now South Korea's left road Son Heung-min, right road Lee Qinglong, the feeling of the two wings flying together, the picture is too beautiful for me to see. But alas, everything can only stay in the fantasy.
South Korea regrets that it does not have two wings flying together
After traveling to Bolton, Crystal Palace, and then to Bochum, Li Qinglong did not give up on himself, although he rarely appeared during his return to the Premier League to play Crystal Palace, he has always maintained his state. Although he is no longer brave, he hopes that he can still play. After his old friend Qi Chengyong announced his retirement from the national team after the 2019 Asian Cup, Li Qinglong still hopes to play for his country. On March 22, in the warm-up match against Bolivia, Li Qinglong scored a goal with his head, which was the ninth goal he had for his country, and for this ball, he waited for a full 3 years! Through his outstanding performances, Li Qinglong also won the trust of Bento and was recruited into the list for the World Cup. But unfortunately, it is the "injury" that ruined the veteran's dream.

Li Qinglong, who has just established himself in Bochum and expects to play a big role in the national team, has once again been "injured" to end the dream of the national team. Can he still play? This is the question of many people, and I hope that this time, he can still stand up bravely and chase the original dream of that year.
I hope Li Qinglong can still stand up bravely
