Chapter 111 Even if We Fall Behind in the Score, It’s Not a Big Deal!
Liverpool leads 2:0 at home. The Liverpool fans at Anfield are ecstatic and create a fanatical home atmosphere from time to time.
Li Qing took a two-goal lead without even coming on the field, so... what if Li Qing comes on as a substitute?
Arsenal still want to play?
Liverpool fans have never been as relaxed as they are now this season. The team's powerful striker Li Qing is still sitting comfortably on the bench, but the score is two goals ahead, which means that this game... is guaranteed to win!
Until the 57th minute of the game, Sanchez, who came on as a substitute, made a direct pass in the counterattack and found Welbeck who was in the defensive space of Klein and Matip. The latter gave the ball away while running, entered the penalty area, and then He finished a low left-footed shot before goalkeeper Mignolet could attack.
The Anfield scoreboard showed 2:0, which instantly became 2:1.
Liverpool coach Klopp clearly feels the pressure from his opponents. A one-goal lead is the most unsafe score on the planet, so he needs the team to expand the score to two goals in the shortest possible time.
How to expand?
Find Li Qing!
The Arsenal players celebrated the goal excitedly. Klopp turned to look at the bench. Without looking further, he said directly to Li Qing: "Li, come back in ten minutes."
Arnold, who had entered the 18-man roster, looked at Li Qing with envy. When he turned around to look, Li Qing had already run to the warm-up area and was doing a simple run back and forth.
"Leeeeeeeeeee——"
When the Liverpool fans at Anfield saw a familiar figure coming to the warm-up area, they subconsciously burst into loud cheers like a tsunami.
"Liverpool has another problem when switching from offense to defense..."
The on-site director quickly showed the live broadcast to the sidelines. Lux Sports commentator Zhan Jun changed the subject: "Liverpool's situation is unclear now. Arsenal is only one goal behind. Klopp's choice to send young player Li Qing is a wise choice."
"Arsenal is ranked fifth with one game in hand. If they want to participate in the Champions League next season, they must defeat Liverpool as a guest. There is still more than half an hour left in the game. Arsenal must strengthen their offense if they want to win. At this point, Liverpool will have many opportunities to counterattack. As long as Li Qing, who is extremely fast and skilled, seizes a few of these opportunities, Liverpool will have no worries about winning.”
British Sky TV commentator Andy Gray laughed: "I thought Liverpool would win the game bloodlessly and double-kill Arsenal. Now it seems... this possibility is constantly decreasing, but... Jurgen Crowe Pu also has a backup plan. His super striker Lee is about to come on as a substitute. Arsene Wenger, are you ready?"
The broadcaster at Anfield Stadium was obviously professional. The broadcast screen once again showed the visiting team coach's command area. Wenger, who had just celebrated his goal, looked at the warm-up area, frowning, obviously feeling a little pressure.
Leicester City was led by Li Qing to score four goals in a row. Some people may think that the defending champion has a lot of water, but are Chelsea and Tottenham strong enough?
That was all due to Li Qing's outstanding performance and turned defeat into victory!
Even if he is only sixteen years old, he cannot be underestimated.
However, it is very difficult for Wenger to make any choice. Continuing to strengthen will definitely lead to the enlargement of defensive loopholes. The problem caused by not strengthening the offense is that the possibility of equalizing is very small.
With this in mind, Wenger decided to take a chance.
Walcott, who is also very fast, left the bench and ran to the warm-up area.
In addition, Wenger knew that his disciple Bellerin was also very fast. As long as Li Qing came on the court, he would let Bellerin switch positions with Monreal, and Bellerin, who was excellent in speed and body, would defend Li Qing.
Fight back?
Who is afraid of whom!
At the same time, Lallana saw Li Qing going to the warm-up area, and his heart skipped a beat. According to head coach Klopp's recent substitution adjustments, he would most likely replace Li Qing with himself, so he made every effort to The game restarted with great success.
Unfortunately, my personal ability is really limited, and I have never been able to bring decent opportunities to the team.
On the contrary, Arsenal, who narrowed the score, continued to play wonderful cooperation under the leadership of Sanchez. Fortunately, goalkeeper Mignolet performed well during this period, resisting with high defense and trying to keep the goal.
Li Qing watched the game anxiously, but the Liverpool fans in the audience were not worried because their hopes were that Li Qing was warming up, which meant that he would come on as a substitute in a few minutes.
Even if the score is behind, it doesn't matter!
If Li Qing could hear the fans' voices, he would definitely roll his eyes...
Do you really think I am God?
The game time passed by second by second, Arsenal turned away and attacked one wave after another, so that Liverpool, who was sitting at home, could not carry the ball through half-time.
As Sanchez cut inside the left wing of the attack and fired an anti-aircraft cannon, the referee on duty blew his whistle to signal a substitution on the sidelines.
"aoaoaoaoaoooo——"
The Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium subconsciously shouted loudly to welcome Li Qing who was about to come on stage.
Lallana subconsciously looked to the sidelines. It was indeed Li Qing who was about to appear, but he was lucky and hoped that the red number displayed on the substitution electronic board was not 20.
The result is really 20.
He sighed and ran to the sideline.
Although Lallana had no actual contribution in this game, his attack in the frontcourt helped Liverpool create some opportunities. The Liverpool fans in the audience will not forget it. They burst into thunderous applause and gave it to Lallana who was substituted.
"papapapaaaa——"
Lux Sports commentator Zhan Jun's voice was obviously a bit louder than the commentary in the previous few minutes: "Chinese young player Li Qing comes on as a substitute for Lallana. I believe Liverpool's offense will be greatly improved! Now... Arsenal can't attack hard. Na is going to be in trouble..."
As soon as the substitution handover ceremony ended, the on-site director's close-up shot showed the visiting team coach's command area.
When Wenger appeared on the broadcast screen, his brows were even more furrowed than a few minutes ago, and he looked almost like a twist rope.
Mignolet took a big goal kick and the ball flew forward to attack the right wing. The Liverpool fans in the audience began to feel excited, waiting for Li Qing's performance.
Li Qing, who was focusing on the landing point of the football, noticed Xhaka coming from the right. He blocked his position in advance and lowered his center of gravity, trying to use his chest to stop the ball in front of him.
Xhaka directly hit Li Qing's back from the right. Because Li Qing lowered his center of gravity early, 5 of the 10 attribute points awarded by the Player of the Month system were added to strength, and the remaining five points were added to physical fitness and control. Ball, including 2 points of physical fitness and 3 points of ball control, bringing them to 70 and 80 respectively.
Li Qing's strength value now reaches 70. Facing Xhaka's collision, he did not fly out of the field like a kite out of line. His center of gravity was just a little unstable, but he controlled the football with his feet during the staggering process.
