Chapter 107: The Excitement and Depression of Chinese Football Fans
Everyone knows that the reason why Liverpool was able to score four goals in a row at the King Power Stadium was Li Qing's contribution. The on-site director obviously knew this, and the broadcast screen continued to show the boy who was only 16 years old.
Starting from the home game against Chelsea, he has contributed seven goals and three assists in three league games as a substitute, leading Liverpool to three consecutive victories.
Chelsea, the top of the league, has been in good form recently. If Liverpool loses in succession during this period, not only will the gap between the two teams widen, but even the top four in the league cannot be guaranteed. Fans watching the live broadcast on TV will deeply remember the boy wearing Liverpool's No. 55 jersey.
Regardless of whether he can perform as well as he does now in the future, he is enough to go down in history.
At the age of 16 and 14 days, he has scored seven goals in the Premier League, and he only played three substitute games.
You have to know that seven goals are a season's goals for many ordinary forwards.
Liverpool's goal celebration time is relatively long. If the referee Craig Pawson on duty had not stopped it, they would have taken longer.
However, it doesn't matter to the Leicester City players who have been hit hard whether they stop or not. Anyway, they just want to end this extremely humiliating game as soon as possible.
As the league champions last season, they are only one point ahead of the relegation zone this season. With such a huge contrast and a big reversal, no one can recover their fighting spirit in a short time.
Chelsea coach Conte, who was watching the live broadcast on TV, depressedly pressed the power button and sighed: "This boy named Li is really awesome, two goals and two assists, otherwise Liverpool would have lost at the King Power Stadium, what a pity."
After celebrating, Liverpool coach Klopp was not overwhelmed by the lead. He clapped his hands vigorously, clenched his right fist, and kept hitting the palm of his left hand, making a crisp "pop" sound. He said to the players with a heavy face: "The game is not over yet! We can't take it lightly! Only when the game is completely over can we win! There are still the last few minutes, come on!"
At the end, he patted Li Qing's left shoulder hard: "Good job, kid!"
Li Qing grimaced in pain, but he was in a very good mood and smiled, raised his right fist, patted his left chest, and flattered: "Needless to say? Don't you see who is the head coach of the team."
"This kid..."
Looking at Li Qing who was walking back to the court, Klopp shook his head and smiled.
When he decided to promote Li Qing, he had never thought that this day would come. This feeling was like buying a lottery ticket with careful determination when he was poor and destitute, but he didn't expect that this lottery ticket would be the first prize!
He had a hunch that Li Qing's goal-scoring status would be maintained.
By then... even Messi and Ronaldo in their prime would probably not be able to compete with him.
It's just a pity that Messi and Ronaldo are old.
Ronaldo is already 32 years old, and Messi is almost 30 years old.
If he could emerge in the era of Messi and Ronaldo competing, I believe the three-way competition would be very exciting.
How great it would be...
While Klopp was wandering in the void, the game had already started again.
The Leicester City players, who went from leading by three goals to falling behind, obviously found it difficult to accept this result for a while. Even with the advantage of kicking off, they did not pose a direct threat to Mignolet's goal.
With Vardy's long-range shot outside the penalty area, the game was declared to enter overtime.
Klopp quickly adjusted the lineup, replacing Coutinho with young central defender Gomez to strengthen the defense.
The on-site director took the opportunity to give a shot to the audience seats at the King Power Stadium. Fans watching the live broadcast on TV could see a large number of Leicester City fans queuing to leave the stadium.
It is not difficult to see that they have confidence in the game.
Coutinho, who was substituted, was very slow and tried to delay the game time. The referee Craig Pawson saw that the Leicester City players did not complain that Coutinho deliberately delayed the game time, so he also turned a blind eye appropriately.
Time passed by second by second. Leicester City coach Shakespeare wanted to restore the players' fighting spirit, but except for the defensive players who still held their positions, the offensive players seemed to have lost their souls one by one, and they could not find the state of the first sixty minutes.
Originally, Li Qing wanted to find an opportunity to lock in the victory, but the Leicester City defensive players were very tough in defense, and it was difficult for him to find an opportunity. In addition, the head coach Klopp had replaced Coutinho and Firmino through substitutions, and released the signal of strengthening defense when there was little time left, which meant that the offensive end could only rely on him to fight alone.
The three minutes of injury time passed quickly, and the scoreboard still showed a score of 3:4.
The home team was in front, and the away team was behind.
Half a minute later, Mahrez's cross was caught by goalkeeper Mignolet. The referee Craig Pawson did not give Leicester City any more time. He blew the whistle directly, two short and one long: "Beep~beep~beep~~"
"Game over! Game over!"
At the same time, LeTV Sports commentator Zhan Jun was ecstatic: "Liverpool defeated the recovering Leicester City 4:3 at the King Power Stadium with a Jedi counterattack in the last 30 minutes of the game! Li Qing, a young Chinese player from Liverpool, contributed two goals and two assists (Note: Penalty kicks created in the Premier League are counted as assists)..."
Just at this point, the on-site director turned the screen to Li Qing, who was shouting, and Zhan Jun changed the subject: "I believe that Li Qing, who is only 16 years old this year, will have immeasurable achievements in the future. He has scored seven goals in three league games." Three assists! Counting two FA Cup games, he contributed a total of ten goals and four assists in one game as a starter and four games as a substitute! "
Countless fans sitting in front of computers watching the live TV felt both excited and depressed. They were excited because Li Qing had blood, but they were depressed because Li Qing had British nationality.
England fans watching Sky TV have no such worries. They are now increasingly hoping that national team coach Southgate can recruit Li Qing for next month's World Cup qualifiers.
The broadcast screen was shown to Li Qing for a long time, which also meant that Li Qing became the best on the spot again.
Liverpool coach Klopp was so excited that as soon as the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, he showed off his signature combination of punches.
The Liverpool fans in the visiting team's stands cheered hoarsely, releasing their passion for their beloved fans and venting their hard-won victory.
The Liverpool players on the field screamed to the sky and ran towards Li Qing. They knew that without Li Qing, this game would be lost.
Sitting in front of the TV, Tong Shenbing looked at Li Qing, who was surrounded by Liverpool players, and felt very happy.
This... is her boyfriend.
