Chapter 161 To Secure the Championship, You Still Need to Score a Goal!

"The 38th round of the 2016-2017 Premier League has kicked off. Liverpool's home game against Middlesbrough can be said to be one of the most interesting focus battles of this round. The home team Liverpool is wearing red jerseys and red shorts. They attack from the left to the right of the broadcast screen..."

New England Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai began to explain eloquently: "Liverpool only needs to beat the relegated Middlesbrough at home to win the English top league championship after 27 years! But the focus of this game is not here..."

Liverpool, who has the advantage of kicking off, took the lead in launching an offensive, but Middlesbrough's pre-match work was obviously very good. They restricted Liverpool's key passing points, so that Li Qing, who was competing for the league's golden boot this season, fell into a state of no ball to receive.

Although Liverpool had more than 80% of the ball possession ratio in the first five minutes, the shot that directly threatened Guzan's goal had not appeared.

In the seventh minute of the game, the frenetic atmosphere of the game at Anfield suddenly dropped, and the cheers created dropped to the lowest state since the start of the game.

Liverpool coach Klopp realized something and turned around to see his assistant Buvac coming over with a sullen face: "Chelsea leads Sunderland 1:0 at home."

Sunderland occupied the relegation spot early this season, and they did not expect them to overturn Chelsea at Stamford Bridge as a guest. According to Klopp's script, he hoped that the team could win at home, so he did not have much emotional fluctuations when he heard that Chelsea scored first.

Li Qing, who was in the game, raised his eyebrows, thinking that Harry Kane scored first in the game against Hull City.

In the subsequent wave of attacks, the anxious Li Qing ignored Fabio, a former Manchester United player who was following him like a bodyguard, and retreated to the midfield line to ask for the ball.

Fabio, who was a full-back, did not follow him, and Downing, a former Liverpool player who played as a winger, followed him.

Coutinho passed the ball directly, and Li Qing pushed the ball with his arch of his foot with his back to the goal, and the ball returned to Coutinho, then suddenly stopped and turned around, brushing Downing to complete the turn, facing the goal head-on.

At the same time, Li Qing, who was accelerating forward, received a non-stop pass from Coutinho, and made a fake move of sinking his right shoulder in the face of the defense of the defensive midfielder Clayton, then used the outside of his left foot to push the ball to the left side of his body, speeding up from the right rib of the attack to the middle.

Leadbitter, who was defending, kicked but missed, and the central defender Gibbs didn't know what to do.

Li Qing helped him make a choice!

While running, he flicked the ball with the outside of his left foot, and the ball rolled towards Firmino who stopped and retreated to meet him.

Another central defender Chambers followed Firmino forward, and Chambers stood still, which meant that the two central defenders saw a huge gap.

And Li Qing ran into this gap.

Firmino faced the goal with his back, and directly knocked the ball back with the heel of his right foot, and the ball rolled under the crotch of Chambers who was sticking to him.

"aoaoaooaoaoooo——"

Accompanied by the huge cheers from the sky above Anfield, Li Qing ran and knocked the ball that Firmino kicked at the top of the penalty area with his heel to the left front. Gibbs, who was doing a one-shot deal, didn't kick the ball or the person, and could only watch Li Qing rush into the penalty area and face the goalkeeper Guzan.

It was too late for the two full-backs to make up for it. Li Qing stopped the ball with the inside of his left foot, and swung his left foot directly without looking at the goalkeeper's position.

The football quickly rushed to the far corner of the goal along the grass. The 34-year-old Guzan's body was a little slow to land, and the football went through his armpit and hit the snow-white net at the far end of the goal.

"Gooooooooooal——"

As Sky TV commentator Andy Gray stretched out his voice, the huge cheers made subconsciously by Liverpool fans rang out over Anfield.

They knew that as long as the home team they supported won, even if Chelsea won 10,000 goals at home, they would not be able to win the Premier League this season!

Head coach Klopp excitedly raised his arms and shouted in the fanatical atmosphere. Although the first goal against Middlesbrough at home could not guarantee the final victory, it could at least relieve the huge pressure on him.

Li Qing, who scored the goal, was not as excited as the coaching staff and teammates. The team opened the door to victory with this goal, but he thought he was still one goal away from Harry Kane!

To enjoy the league's golden boots alone, he must score two more goals!

So Li Qing ran to the goal in the puzzled eyes of the crowd, picked up the football, held it in his arms, and ran to the kick-off point while clapping with his teammates.

New England Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai thought of something and changed his striker: "Li Qing, who scored a goal first, has tied Harry Kane. He now wants to enjoy the league's golden boots alone! Come on!"

Then, the fans in the audience and Li Qing's teammates realized something, and the huge cheers over Anfield Stadium reached a deafening level.

Klopp looked at Li Qing who put the ball on the kick-off point and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Li has misunderstood something."

"What do you mean?"

Bovach asked curiously.

"Do you remember the temporary silence in the audience just now?"

Klopp paused, and the extremely smart Buvac gave a look of "I see", and smiled: "I don't know who will win the league's Golden Boot between him and Harry Kane."

"Need I say? Of course it's Li."

Buvac said subconsciously.

Klopp didn't say anything else, and looked back at the court.

The team is currently only leading by one goal, and it's not safe!

The second goal didn't take too long. Six minutes later, Li Qing, who suddenly accelerated to the penalty area, received Milner's cross pass and completed a shot before Chambers blocked it. The football was close to the grass and drilled into the lower left corner of the goal.

"Goal! Goal!"

Leshi Sports commentator Zhan Jun shouted: "The last round of this season's Premier League is so exciting! Harry Kane just scored, and Li Qing scored again. Both of them have scored 28 goals now! Liverpool is now leading Middlesbrough 2:0. It is basically certain that they will regain the English Premier League championship after 27 years!"

The fanatical atmosphere over Anfield is just like boiling water, and the cheers are one after another.

Liverpool coach Klopp is now completely relieved. A two-goal lead means that the league championship is inevitable!

At the same time, at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea assistant coach Alessio walked towards Conte and whispered in his ear: "Liverpool is already leading Middlesbrough 2:0."

Conte, standing in the home team coach command area, sighed and turned to the coaching seat.

He knew that this season's league championship was already in Liverpool's pocket.

But for Li Qing, scoring is not enough!

He wants to score more!
