Chapter 162 Hat Trick World Record
With Li Qing's shot in the penalty area, the score on the scoreboard at Anfield Stadium changed from 1:0 to 2:0. Liverpool fans in the audience sang the team song "You'll Never Walk Alone" in unison.
The diehard fans in the KOP stand were dancing with joy, and the Liverpool fans in front of the TV were ecstatic.
The league championship after 27 years is an emotion that cannot be suppressed.
Li Qing, who scored twice, did not take it lightly. He felt that Harry Kane, who was challenging Hull City as a guest, would definitely try his best to score more goals, so two goals were not safe.
Hull City's defense was the team that conceded the most goals in the past 37 league rounds, 73 goals, 1.97 goals per game, which is infinitely close to two goals. Such a team...how could they defend with all their strength in the case of relegation?
Besides, Tottenham players would definitely help Harry Kane score more goals without hesitation, so two goals were not enough!
Middlesbrough players learned from their mistakes and showed courage in the following game time. Their defense improved qualitatively. Li Qing encountered great difficulties in receiving the ball or breaking through.
Li Qing felt very depressed looking at the desperate Middlesbrough players. He thought, you have been relegated, why are you still working so hard? Don’t you know that I still have to fight for my future career?
Of course, he was just a little bit mean in his heart, and his concentration was still quite high.
The stronger the defense of Middlesbrough players, the stronger the spirit of unwillingness in Li Qing’s heart. As time went on, the defensive pressure of Middlesbrough defensive players became greater and greater. Two consecutive players had received yellow cards for defending Li Qing in a short period of time.
Before the end of the first half, Li Qing played a wonderful two-on-one cooperation with Coutinho and Firmino. He broke into the right rib of the penalty area and faked a pass with his right foot. He adjusted the ball slightly on the outside of his left foot and shot it completely before Chambers came forward to block it. The ball quickly rushed to the far corner of the goal along the grass.
Goalkeeper Guzan was out of reach, and the score on the scoreboard became 3:0.
"The ball goes in! Hat trick!! This is the fourth consecutive game that Li Qing has performed a hat trick. He tied the world record of consecutive hat tricks set by Sun Country international player Masashi Nakayama in the 1998 J League! At the same time, he also tied the record of five hat tricks in a single Premier League season set by Alan Shearer in the 1995-1996 season!"
New England Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai shouted almost crazily: "This is Li Qing's 29th goal this season. According to the instant news of another game between Tottenham and Hull City, Harry Kane still scored a goal, which means that Li Qing is now one goal ahead of Harry Kane and leads the scorer list!"
The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV were a little depressed while excited, but they thought of the iconic incompetence of the Football Association and were open-minded.
As long as Li Qing admits that he is a Chinese, then he... represents the highest level of Chinese football!
Klopp, who was standing in the home team coach's command area, returned to the coaching seat after celebrating excitedly with his two assistants, and sat down leisurely, just like an ordinary spectator watching the game.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most relaxing moment for Klopp this season.
The first minute of injury time in the first half was over, and the referee on duty blew the whistle to end the first half.
Li Qing ran to the player channel as soon as possible, caught up with assistant coach Buvac, and asked directly: "Hey~ Uncle Zelik, how many goals did Harry Kane score?"
"Congratulations!"
Buvac first congratulated Li Qing, and then smiled and said: "Harry Kane scored a goal, now you are leading the scorer list!"
At this point, he turned around and patted Li Qing on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Harry Kane is a very capable striker, but you must not take it lightly. In the second half... keep working hard!"
"The season's top scorer must be mine!"
Li Qing said confidently.
"aoaoaooaooooo——"
The Liverpool fans at Anfield were ecstatic, singing and dancing, creating huge cheers.
Li Qing, who was in a very good mood, deliberately stirred up the excitement of the fans in the audience while walking towards the player tunnel. The fanatical atmosphere that had already swept the entire stadium was instantly sublimated, and the huge cheers like a tsunami were higher and higher.
…
Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge sighed and sighed. Obviously, they already knew that the league championship that they were determined to win this season was firmly in Liverpool's hands.
At the Kingston Communication Stadium, the first half of the game between Hull City and Tottenham also ended. The scoreboard showed a score of 0:2, and the home team was behind the visiting team.
There was a list of players who scored goals at the bottom of the scoreboard, including Harry Kane and Ali, which means that Harry Kane, who is competing for the league's top scorer this season, has only scored 28 goals so far.
Harry Kane quickly ran to assistant coach Jesus Perez, who was standing in the visiting team coaching area, and asked directly: "Mr. Jesus, what's the situation at Anfield?"
"Hat trick."
"What?"
Harry Kane exclaimed in disbelief: "Hat trick? Are you sure?"
"It is indeed a hat trick!"
Jesus Perez nodded affirmatively.
"Thank you."
Harry Kane walked towards the player tunnel, clenched his hands naturally, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "I won't give up! There are still 45 minutes! It's just a hat trick, I can do it!"
The conversation between Jesus Perez and Harry Kane was not very loud, but Son Heung-min heard it clearly. He took two quick steps and walked side by side with Harry Kane. He encouraged: "Harry, I will do my best to help you in the second half and let you score more goals."
"Thank you, Sun!"
The 15-minute halftime break passed quickly, and the players from both sides of Anfield came to the stadium one after another. The on-site director immediately gave the broadcast screen to Li Qing. He walked slowly towards the stadium and looked in a very good mood. He also had the leisure to interact with the home team fans in the stands.
"Beep~"
Accompanied by the whistle of the referee on duty, the second half of Liverpool's home game against Middlesbrough in the 38th round of the 2016-2017 Premier League officially began.
Liverpool, with its absolute strength, quickly took the initiative without any suspense. Liverpool players, who had already established a score advantage, continued to cooperate with Li Qing to score goals and pass and cut.
Perhaps it was because of Middlesbrough coach Monk's targeted deployment that Li Qing did nothing in the first 20 minutes of the second half.
Harry Kane, who was at another stadium, scored two goals with his head and feet during this period, performing a hat trick, and his personal number of goals this season reached an astonishing 30.
The game at Anfield entered a dead ball state, and Liverpool assistant coach Buvac blew a loud whistle at Li Qing. Li Qing, who was retreating, subconsciously ran over after hearing it.
"Li, Harry Kane also performed a hat trick, you must continue to score goals."
"Damn it!"
Li Qing blurted out: "I can't keep a low profile anymore."
