Chapter 22 Who Is Strong and Who Is Weak?

Adekanye's very flirtatious heel knocked the ball through the crotch, and the ball-player separation was very perfect. Unfortunately, Li Qing had the [Iron Wall Card], and his defensive ability rose straight to 80. There might be accidents when facing top professional offensive players, but there was no problem facing Adekanye of the U18 team.

Li Qing stopped the ball at his feet, and Adekanye's proud smile solidified. Johnstone, the left back of the fluorescent vest team, cursed Adekanye and rushed towards Li Qing, wanting to complete this defense with a foul.

I saw Li Qing's right foot arch, the football rolled horizontally to the middle, and the man ran vertically along the right sideline from the right side of the defense.

In order to avoid problems with a pass, Brewster stopped the football with the outside of his right foot in a relatively loose situation, and then sent a diagonal pass.

The football rolled along the grass from the middle of the court to the right side of the team's attack, which was the defensive side of Johnstone and center back Masterson.

The team in the fluorescent vest switched from attack to defense in a hurry, and the defense system was riddled with holes. Li Qing's amazing speed was fully demonstrated at this moment.

A blue lightning flashed across the court at high speed!

Johnstone didn't have time to reach out to pull Li Qing. All he could do was hope that his teammates could make up for the defensive loopholes behind him.

Captain Masterson was thinking, this... defense is bullshit?

He had received yellow cards for consecutive fouls before, and this foul was definitely another yellow card, which was equivalent to two yellows turning into one red.

Although this was an intra-team match, it was still very cheap to receive a red card, especially for the captain!

Time waits for no one!

Li Qing was very fast. He caught up with the football and took the ball from the side to the middle. In a blink of an eye, he came to five meters in front of Masterson. Brewster's position was quite smart. Seeing Li Qing running to the middle with the ball, he took another central defender Anthony Glennon to run to the left rib, not giving the two people the opportunity to attack Li Qing together.

Anthony Glennon and Masterson cooperated well. Seeing that the opponent was fighting and retreating, he immediately realized that he was waiting for him. He didn't care about Brewster's running position and rushed directly to Li Qing with the ball.

Neil Critchley frowned at Anthony Glennon's choice. If... Li Qing passed the ball at this time, then the huge gap behind him would be...

Thinking of this, he shook his head. Li Qing was still young, how could he be so calm?

Especially young players, it is easy to get excited, especially after scoring two goals in a row.

But in the next moment, the football left Li Qing's feet, and rolled along the grass between Anthony Glennon and Masterson to the left rib of the attack, which was the direction of Brewster's forward running.

This...

Neil Critchley was extremely surprised by Li Qing's choice!

Single knife!

The young Anthony Glennon and Masterson gritted their teeth and turned around to chase Brewster, who had already fully accelerated, but forgot that there was still an absolute killer who did not stop running forward.

Anthony Glennon and Masterson chased relentlessly, and goalkeeper Camille Grabara abandoned the goal to attack.

Brewster wanted to stop the ball and shoot, but he saw a blue figure following at high speed. He swung his left foot to prepare for the shot and chose to pass the ball horizontally to the middle.

Goalkeeper Camille Grabara, center back Anthony Glennon and Masterson all looked at the ball rolling towards the middle along the grass. Their rich game experience made them realize something...

I saw a player in a blue vest approaching the ball, gently stopped the outside of his left foot, stepped forward with his right foot for support, and gently pushed the ball with the arch of his left foot. The ball quickly crossed the goal line along the grass and hit the snow-white net...

Hat trick!

Li Qing, who scored the goal, ran towards Brewster with a smile. He just ran forward just now for the supplementary shot, and didn't expect Brewster to pass the ball at all.

I must thank him for being able to send a horizontal pass in a one-on-one situation!

"Ryan, thank you so much."

Brewster smiled and patted Li Qing on the back: "I just saw you pass the ball when you made a run forward. I didn't expect that our tacit understanding is so good, just like it was born. I was just thinking of giving it a try..."

Speaking of this, he smiled slyly: "You must pass the ball to me more in the future."

Li Qing was slightly stunned, remembering that the three goals were directly related to Brewster, and this confrontation match was just the first game of their cooperation.

If this is not a natural tacit understanding, what is it?

So Li Qing nodded seriously: "Affirmative."

※※※※※※

Neil Critchley was satisfied with the tacit cooperation between Li Qing and Brewster to score a goal, but he was extremely disappointed with the fluorescent vest team, especially Adekanye who lost the ball. He roared almost crazily: "Poppy, how many times have I told you? Cooperate! Cooperate! Don't think that you can really be on par with Leo Messi after staying in La Masia for a few years!"

The endless scolding made Adekanye very irritated, but he was not dissatisfied with the head coach, but against Li Qing!

If it wasn't for the damn Li Qing, how could his performance be so bad?

As the former team's best passer, he was repeatedly defeated by Li Qing, the right winger...

Li Qing scored a hat trick, but Adekanye was responsible for all three goals lost by his team. It was clear who was stronger and who was weaker.

Could it be... that he was really not as good as the other?

I have been trained in the Ajax Youth Training Camp and La Masia, and Li Qing just rose suddenly!

I am definitely better than him!

Adekanye kept hinting at himself, but whether it was at the end of the first half of the match or in the second half, Li Qing's performance was overwhelming.

At the end of the game, the score was 2:9, Li Qing contributed five goals and two assists, while Adekanye had no goals or assists.

Adekanye's eyes gradually changed when he looked at Li Qing again. Could it be... he was really not as good as him?

He didn't believe it!

Head coach Neil Critchley had decided to formulate tactics around Li Qing through this training match, but he didn't decide immediately. Instead, he wanted Li Qing to slowly integrate into the team before announcing it to the players. After all, these young players are arrogant. If Li Qing's core position is determined only through an intra-team match, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some players.

Wait until most players recognize Li Qing's strength, then it will be announced!

There are nearly two months left before the FA Youth Cup 1/16 finals, which is enough!
