Chapter 102: Three Goals Behind, so What?

Just after the first half, the on-site director gave a close-up shot of the coaches of the home and away teams. Shakespeare was obviously a little proud and smiling. As a fire-fighting coach, his team's performance in the first half was perfect.

Klopp, who then appeared on the broadcast screen, had an ugly expression and a stern face until he entered the player tunnel.

Li Qing was somewhat depressed because he did not get the call from the head coach Klopp, but he was full of confidence in himself. According to his past performance and the positive changes brought about by his substitute appearance, the head coach Klopp could not be ignored.

Chelsea, who played one game earlier, had already defeated Swansea 3:1. If the team failed to score points away from home, the gap between them would be widened again.

With one less round of the league, the gap has widened, which almost means that the league champion is likely to be Chelsea!

Leshi Sports commentator Zhan Jun talked about his concerns in the live broadcast room: "Liverpool's bad habit of not focusing enough in the first half has reappeared. I don't know if it will change in the second half. I think the fans and audience hope that Li Qing can come off the bench to turn the tide, but don't forget... the past reversal games were all at Anfield. This league at the King Power Stadium may be a little different from the past reversal games..."

Li Qing, who was warming up at the King Power Stadium, didn't think so. He sat on the sidelines and watched very clearly. Both goals were accidental and could be avoided.

It's just that Liverpool's current defensive players are prone to distraction, especially when they win consecutive games, their vigilance drops to the lowest.

If the team can stay focused in the second half, Li Qing has a way to lead the team to victory.

Compared with the problems exposed by Liverpool's defense, Leicester City has bigger problems.

But Li Qing lacks confidence in Liverpool's defense. As a time traveler, he knows why Liverpool reached the finals of the Champions League in the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 seasons. That was entirely the positive effect brought by the strong central defender Van Dijk joining the team.

Except for Matip, Klavan and Lovren are not reliable, and Gomez is too young, otherwise Klopp would not use the central defender combination of Matip + Lucas in this game.

However, Li Qing believes that Shakespeare, who has just taken office, will definitely ensure victory in order to reverse the team's recent decline, and will definitely give priority to strengthening defense at that time.

As long as the focus is changed to defense, there will be plenty of opportunities.

The 15-minute halftime break passed quickly, and the players of both sides came to the court one after another. The fourth official stood leisurely on the sidelines, and it was obvious that neither side of the game wanted to make substitutions.

The on-site director was naughty and gave Li Qing, who was sitting on the bench, a broadcast screen.

Looking at Li Qing in adversity is a popular saying in Liverpool fans recently.

The fans sitting in front of the TV began to look forward to Li Qing's appearance.

In a blink of an eye, five minutes had passed in the second half of the game, and the score on the scoreboard was still 2:0. Klopp in front of the visiting team coaching seat became more anxious.

It's not that he didn't think about replacing Li Qing, but if he replaced Li Qing every time the team fell behind, wouldn't that mean that he would be betting everything on Li Qing?

It's okay if Li Qing scores a goal, but if he performs mediocrely, wouldn't he be criticized to death by those media reporters who have no bottom line?

He... is only sixteen years old!

Two minutes later, Klopp made a decision based on Buvac's suggestion. He turned his head and said to the bench: "Li, come back in five minutes."

"Got it!"

Li Qing, who was always prepared, quickly took off his warm-up jacket and went to the warm-up area.

"wuwuwuwuuuu——"

The King Power Stadium is not Anfield Stadium. When Li Qing ran over confidently, the Leicester City fans in the audience made a huge boo for Li Qing.

There were even many extreme Leicester City fans who gave him the middle finger, cursed and attacked him personally.

At this time, no one thought of him as a sixteen-year-old boy.

Li Qing remembered the ugly faces of the home fans in the main stand. This was the first time he had been a guest with the team since the beginning of his career. Although he had been mentally prepared before the game, he realized that the preparation was just a drop in the bucket when he really faced it.

He was very serious about jogging, sprinting, running back and forth, and stretching, in order to show the best state in the next game and let the home fans know what despair is!

However, at this moment, the stadium issued a deafening loud shout. Li Qing, who was doing stretching, looked up at the stadium and saw that Leicester City left-back Fuchs raised his left foot to make a cross. Lallana threw his whole body and jumped up to block the cross. Li Qing, who was good at feints, saw at a glance that Fuchs was a feint.

Sure enough!

Fuchs raised his left foot and did not cross, but quickly pulled back and completed the cross with his right foot.

The football was fast and flat. Vardy, who had already contributed a goal in this game, overpowered Lucas, who was only 1.7 meters tall, in front of the small penalty area to complete a header.

Goalkeeper Mignolet could not react in time and could only declare that he was out of reach.

No one expected that Leicester City, currently ranked fourth from the bottom in the league, would rebound quickly after changing the head coach and lead the second-placed Liverpool 3:0 at home.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's signature long voice sounded, and then changed the subject: "Liverpool is in trouble. The game is in the 60th minute and the third goal almost means the victory is locked!"

Shakespeare in front of the home team coach's bench was very excited!

If they beat Liverpool by three goals at home, the team's morale will definitely be boosted, and the chances of completing relegation will rise sharply. They may even rebound in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals and achieve a reversal and advancement at home!

Klopp looked very ugly in front of the visiting team's coaching seat, and he was shouting something. At this time, Li Qing jogged over and said in a deep voice: "Boss, I'm ready."

Klopp was furious, but he loved his disciple Li Qing from the bottom of his heart. His face was a little more kind. He reached out and patted Li Qing on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Replace Adam, don't have any burden in your heart, you can show your talent to your heart's content, shoot or pass the ball by yourself, remember! Don't have any psychological burden! Come on! Little guy!"

Li Qing was very moved. He knew that this was Klopp protecting himself, but he made up his mind. Since he had chosen the path of professional football, he would continue to go no matter how convinced he was.

What if we are three goals behind?

There are still thirty minutes left?

Time is enough!
