Chapter 146: Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles

Wanyama has a strong sense of defense. He was conscious of approaching Li Qing as early as when Son Heung-min's long shot hit the goal post. Since the ball had nothing to do with Li Qing for the time being, he just lay in ambush beside him and did not make any actual moves.

A foul when running without the ball is more serious than a foul with the ball at your feet. You may even get a yellow card.

The ball rolled towards Milner, and Li Qing suddenly accelerated on the spot and reached out for the ball.

How could Wanyama not know what Li Qing was going to do?

He hurried to catch up, but... he immediately realized that Li Qing's speed and explosiveness were obviously several levels higher than his own.

He couldn't keep up!

He would definitely not be able to catch up if he chased Li Qing directly. He chose a relatively smart diagonal run. As long as Li Qing took the ball forward, he would have a chance to complete the defense, even if he got a card for a foul.

Trippier, who did not participate in the attack, took the responsibility of defending Li Qing head-on, but he did not rashly take the initiative to move forward. According to his understanding of Li Qing before the game, recklessness would only put himself in an irretrievable situation.

Li Qing has outstanding footwork and is incredibly fast. There is a large space behind him, so taking the initiative to move forward is equivalent to cutting off the retreat.

Milner's pass is good, just in line with Li Qing's running.

Since there are no Tottenham defenders around him, Li Qing chooses to dribble the ball forward directly on the left side of the defense and takes the initiative to find Trippier.

Li Qing, who often plays on the right, is a little unfamiliar on the left. He knows that Trippier, as a defensive player, will also have this awkward feeling.

Offense is active, defense is passive, and letting defensive players remain unchanged is the best way to put them in the ditch.

"wuwuwuwuuw——"

The Tottenham fans at White Hart Lane obviously felt something, and the exclamations were instantly replaced by boos, sent to Li Qing who counterattacked with the ball.

Trippier thought that there were central defenders Dale and Alderweireld behind him, but due to the position limitations, except for Dale and Alderweireld who were closer, the two of them were a little far away from him.

Add to that Wanyama who was returning to defense at high speed at an angle. The only question was whether Wanyama could arrive at the scene before Li Qing broke through him.

Huh?

Why did he think of Li Qing breaking through him?

Trippier, who was about to let go, slapped his forehead. As a Tottenham defender, how could he think of the result of eating inside and outside?

Trippier calmed down and looked carefully. The distance between the two was less than five meters.

At this moment, Li Qing's right shoulder sank, and the inside of his left foot suddenly dunked the ball to the right front. Trippier had no time to think about why Li Qing suddenly accelerated towards the middle, and his body subconsciously followed inward.

It was not until Trippier changed his body's center of gravity that he realized that Li Qing's action was to pave the way!

Li Qing was extremely fast. He dribbled the ball to the middle to attract the defensive players to the middle. The next dribbling was the real choice!

The fans in the audience clearly saw Li Qing change direction while dribbling at high speed. The ball was flicked with the outside of his left foot and the body changed direction in one go. Trippier, who had no speed advantage, obviously had no time to turn around. He could only watch Li Qing break through from the outside.

Li Qing noticed from the corner of his eye that Dale and Alderweireld retreated in perfect harmony, but Wanyama, who had been defending him, rushed forward diagonally.

Wanyama returned to defense at high speed, filling the gap behind Trippier, and then fell to the ground and shoveled the ball when Li Qing dribbled it away from his feet.

Li Qing's familiar left foot dribbled the ball forward about ten meters, and the front of his left foot jumped high due to the huge reaction force brought by the kneeling and jumping.

"Beautiful!"

The fans sitting in front of the TV could clearly see a very obvious slip mark left behind Li Qing, and Leshi Sports commentator Zhan Jun shouted: "Li Qing accelerated and dribbled past Wanyama!"

Dale saw that the ball was a little far from Li Qing, and he didn't care about the speed disadvantage and stepped forward decisively.

"Don't!"

It was too late for Alderweireld to shout.

Li Qing, who had landed, used the momentum brought by inertia to speed up again. The football that seemed to be closer to Dale settled down after more than a second and became 50-50.

Li Qing ran faster and faster, and his feet crossed the center line. Dale suddenly became in a dilemma. In a flash, he made a very risky choice.

Dale, who was running horizontally, used inertia to complete the shovel on the ground, and stretched his right foot to the forward trajectory of the football.

In a flash, Li Qing, whose calf swung at a very fast frequency, suddenly stepped out with his right foot, stepped on the top of the football rolling forward, and then pulled it back with force. At the same time, with the right foot stepping on the ball as the axis, he quickly completed a 120-degree clockwise turn during the high-speed dribbling process, and pulled the ball with his left foot instead, and his body faced the goal again.

In this way, Dale's one-shot deal went bankrupt.

"Marseille turn!"

Zhan Jun raised his voice again without losing momentum: "Li Qing used a high-speed Marseille turn to pass Dale, and in front of him... only Alderweireld is left!"

But at this point, his voice was a little worried.

The centripetal force brought by the fast speed was a bit strong. Li Qing's center of gravity was a bit unstable when he turned around. His feet staggered and his upper body was shaky, giving people a feeling that he might fall at any time.

Fortunately, Li Qing had enough leg strength, and he used his right hand to support the ground and stabilize his body.

Alderweireld wanted to fish in troubled waters, but he didn't expect that Li Qing didn't fall to the ground or lose control of the ball. He fell into the same dilemma as Dale when he came halfway.

Dilemma!

Some Tottenham fans at White Hart Lane were so anxious that they almost got a stitch in the side. In their opinion, if the game became 0:2, then the tone of this game would basically be set.

Pochettino's eyes were full of depression. The defense from Trippier to Wanyama was actually good, especially Dale who made a decisive tackle, but he didn't expect Li Qing's connection with the ball to reach this level, and it can even be said that he was not weaker than Messi.

As the last defensive player of Tottenham, Alderweireld knew what he should do.

Be brave to contribute!

Li Qing quickly alternated his feet on the ground, and the slightly larger jersey was raised high. Facing Alderweireld who was ready to foul, the choice was very simple. He poked the ball forward accurately with the arch of his left foot.

Alderweireld's pupils shrank, and he felt cold under his crotch. He subconsciously closed his legs and stepped back, but he was still half a beat too late.

Since he failed to stop the ball, he could only look for someone, even if it meant a red card.

But Li Qing was too fast, and after pushing the ball, he consciously distanced himself from them, not giving Alderweireld a chance to foul.

"The ball and the man passed!"

Andy Gray, the Sky TV commentator, shouted, "The fourth one!"

Li Qing bypassed Alderweireld in the desperate eyes of the Tottenham fans at White Hart Lane, caught up with the ball, and faced goalkeeper Lloris alone.
