Chapter 214 Excellent Performance at Position 10
"Li Qing's long-range shot was powerful! It really boosted morale! In the seventh minute, the Reds took the lead!"
The commentator of Kung Fu Channel 5, He Wei, who was sitting in the live broadcast room, was ecstatic and praised eloquently: "Kante is the best defensive midfielder in the Premier League, and his physical confrontation ability is super strong! The sixteen-year-old Li Qing was able to knock him away, which... is incredible! But this ball is really beautiful! It is reasonable that the pantyhose can't do anything."
The broadcast screen gave Li Qing, who contributed a world wave. The fans sitting in front of the TV could see that Li Qing had no obvious emotional fluctuations, as if this goal had nothing to do with him.
The live director then gave a close-up shot of his face, and Li Qing shrugged his shoulders. The iconic shrug celebration appeared in front of countless fans again.
"Leeeeeeeeeeeee——"
The Red Army fans at the new Wembley Stadium were in high spirits, and the cheers resounded through the sky, one wave after another.
The Blues Chelsea fans were all shaking their heads and sighing, and they didn't even mock Li Qing. It was obvious that they were afraid of being slapped in the face next.
Didn't we just get slapped in the face last season?
Klopp's passionate goal celebration inspired the Red Army fans at the new Wembley Stadium, bursting with greater energy.
The Blues players were all distraught, especially Kante who was defending Li Qing. He had a very strong feeling that Li Qing was stronger than last season!
Before the game started, Kong Lengzi made a targeted study on Li Qing's technical characteristics.
What was the result?
Li Qing still scored with a light acceleration breakthrough and long-range shot.
This... how to play next?
It is difficult to defend against breakthroughs if you defend against long-range shots, and it is easy to give away free kicks if you defend against breakthroughs.
The problem is that Li Qing's scoring methods are becoming more and more comprehensive. In addition to the baptism of breakthroughs as always, long-range shots are also very strong, and the most critical one is a free kick.
The Blues coach Conte saw it, frowned, and stood on the sidelines, not knowing how to deal with Li Qing's problem.
According to past game results, if Li Qing is not restricted, his team will definitely not lose too few goals even if they score goals.
The broadcast screen then showed the Blues players Hazard, Pedro and Batshuayi. The offensive line of the three did not put any pressure on the Reds' defense, so that the Reds' offense could organize the offense recklessly.
From a defensive perspective, the Blues' offense did not put enough pressure on the Reds' defense.
The game restarted. The Blues, who had the advantage of kicking off, launched a tidal offensive under the leadership of Zak and Pedro, but the actual threat was not enough. Conte, standing in front of the coaching seat, saw the problem with the offense.
The team seemed to be very aggressive, but the actual pressure on Karius was not worth mentioning at all, because the team's offense was not three-dimensional enough. Marcos Alonso and Moses, who played well last season, did not advance their offensive range far enough, which caused the problem of insufficient offensive level.
"What should we do?"
Conte raised his eyebrows. He hoped that the two would be in a more forward position, but the problem was that the defensive risks brought by being in the front would be infinitely magnified.
Mane, Salah and Li Qing are all very fast, especially Li Qing, who has a perfect combination of speed and skills. He is proficient in breakthroughs and long shots. The key shot in front of the goal is quite calm, just like an experienced old hunter, hitting the target with one shot.
While Conte was hesitating, the game went on for another ten minutes, and the score on the scoreboard of the new Wembley Stadium was still 1:0, with the Reds leading the Blues.
The enthusiastic atmosphere of the game has a downward trend, and only the Reds fans are left singing "You'll Never Walk Alone".
The on-site director took advantage of the stalemate and gave a close-up of the Reds fans in the audience. The Reds fans raised their scarves and sang loudly with their hearts surging. The loud singing quickly swept the entire new Wembley Stadium.
The catchy lyrics can easily drive the emotions of neutral fans, and they can't help but hum it naturally.
The Reds fans on the field instantly accelerated, and Li Qing, Firmino, Mane and Salah were like four sharp arrows, shooting at the Blues' vital points.
Fabregas's attributes have declined in all aspects due to his age, with explosiveness and reaction being the most obvious. Fabregas only had time to pull the ball and turn around to protect the ball when Li Qing suddenly appeared in front of him, but Firmino rushed to the ball in time. At the moment when Fabregas pulled the ball, he stretched out his foot and poked the ball, and the ball rolled to Salah, who was surrounded by a triangle.
Marcos Alonso rushed to Salah, and Hazard also followed back to defend, obviously wanting to form a first-time on-the-spot interception through the two people's active counter-grabbing and counterattack the opponent.
Unexpectedly, Salah did not take the ball forward, but passed the ball to the middle.
"Li Qing!"
Accompanied by the loud shout of He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao 5, Li Qing rushed to the football. Fabregas, who lost the ball, was anxious and rushed to Li Qing in panic.
Li Qing saw Fabregas's forward step, and gently pushed the ball to the left front with the outside of his left foot. The football stuck to the grass and just passed under Fabregas' crotch, completing the man-ball separation.
Fabregas stopped in time to commit a foul, because Li Qing had moved ahead and avoided his foul range.
"Dribble through the crotch!"
Everyone thought Li Qing was going to fight his way through the middle, but Li Qing took a step forward with his right foot and kicked the ball quickly with the inside of his left foot. The ball flew into the air and flew to the left rib of the attack, which was the no-man's land on the right rib of the Blues' defensive half.
Blues coach Conte looked up at the far end of the field and saw Mane standing out from his own defense like a red lightning, quickly approaching the ball's landing point.
Ruiz, who was dragging at the back, waved to indicate that Mane had committed a foul, but the assistant referee did not raise the flag, which meant... not offside!
Mane's speed was second only to Li Qing in the Liverpool team, and Li Qing's long pass had a large lead time, which was just right for his full-speed running.
Courtois saw that the ball seemed to be farther away from Ma's thigh, and he seemed to see a perfect opportunity to attack!
Decisively abandoned the goal and attacked!
The ball had a significant deceleration after landing, and Courtois, who was attacking, felt uneasy and said, "Oops!"
In a flash, Mane's speed advantage was perfectly reflected. After only two seconds, he was closer to the ball than Courtois.
Courtois had no choice but to run with his head held high, looking at the oncoming ball, and fell to the ground to make a tackle.
But Mané's foot was faster, and he poked the ball with the tip of his right foot before Courtois' right foot came close to the ground.
Courtois, who had no way to retreat, decisively chose to raise his right foot and wanted to trip Mané, but thinking that a foul in this position would result in a red card, his action was not firm enough and Mané jumped over him.
A few seconds later, Mané caught up with the ball and gave it a light push, and the ball crossed the goal line and hit the snow-white net.
