Chapter 259 Kane and Son Heung-Min Are Proud of Themselves
Li Qing was knocked to the ground by Vertonghen again. His eyebrows were raised unnaturally and he looked very angry. Vertonghen was keenly aware of Li Qing's anger. He covered his mouth and threatened: "Don't think you are great just because you can score a goal. In front of me, no matter how good you are, you have to be steady, otherwise watch out for your legs!"
I thought Li Qing would "bear the humiliation", but Li Qing unexpectedly grinned and sneered disdainfully: "You can only foul and talk. Do you have the ability to fight me one-on-one? If I don't knock you to the ground, I will call you Vertonghen!"
After that, he didn't give Vertonghen a chance to speak again, or he didn't want to listen to Vertonghen's nonsense, and walked directly to the front court.
Vertonghen looked at Li Qing's back, and felt very aggrieved in his heart, the kind that couldn't help but vent.
Can you have some manners?
MMP!
Will you die if you hear me say a few more harsh words?
The conversation between Vertonghen and Li Qing was keenly captured by the on-site director. Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "Li Qing did not seem to lose his fighting spirit in the continuous fouls of Vertonghen. On the contrary, he seemed to have the upper hand in the verbal confrontation. He is really an incredible young man."
The visiting coach Klopp stood excitedly next to the fourth official and counted the fouls of many Tottenham players against Li Qing. The fourth official was also helpless. It was Atkinson who made the judgment. It had nothing to do with him, but he had to explain to Klopp because of his duty.
After the explanation, Arnold also took a direct free kick near the center circle. Van Dijk, who was ambushing in the penalty area, overpowered Alderweireld to complete a header. However, due to interference from the opponent, Van Dijk did not control the power of the header well, and the football was easily held in the arms of French goalkeeper Lloris.
Spurs switched from defense to offense. Tottenham fans in the audience created a fanatical atmosphere on the scene to support the Tottenham players who organized the attack.
Liverpool players Li Qing, Firmino and Salah immediately pressed high, increasing the chances of mistakes by Tottenham's midfielders and backcourt players, but Tottenham's players were good at footwork, not like Pogba to show off their footwork skills, their tactical execution was very high, almost all of them kicked the ball out.
After several consecutive turns, they failed to grab the ball, and Liverpool players returned to their own half.
In the eighth minute, the ball came to Son Heung-min's feet. He had no confidence in facing Li Qing and Arnold who was defending, so he had to pass the ball to Eriksen who was responding.
Eriksen had a strong ability to read the game and had a good grasp of the timing of the pass. He made a long pass directly from the left rib of the attack to Trippier who joined the attack on the right.
Liverpool's defensive players slowly tilted from the right side of the defense to the left side. Trippier, who received the pass, saw the opportunity for Harry Kane to advance and suddenly passed the ball behind him. Van Dijk raised his hand to indicate that Harry Kane was offside, but the assistant referee did not raise the flag, which means that Harry Kane who was chasing the pass was not offside!
It was too late for Joe Gomez to reach out and grab. Harry Kane, who had blocked his position in advance, entered the penalty area and chose to shoot with his left foot in the face of Mignolet's attack. The football flew over Mignolet's hands and fell into the empty goal without anyone guarding it.
"Goooooooooooooooal——"
The iconic elongated voice of Sky TV commentator Andy Gray sounded in the live broadcast room of the new Wembley Stadium.
Harry Kane, who scored a goal, was very excited. He ran all the way with his arms open. He ran to the camera and cheered to vent the huge pressure brought by the goal.
Klopp obviously thought that Harry Kane was offside first. He complained excitedly next to the fourth official, but through slow-motion playback, Trippier and Harry Kane were connected just right, and it was Arnold at the far end who was dragged behind.
The new Wembley Stadium has a huge LCD screen. Klopp also saw through the broadcast that Harry Kane was not offside, so he returned to the coaching seat depressed.
Pochettino, standing in the home team coach's command area, excitedly raised his arms and shouted, and then discussed with his assistant whether tactical adjustments should be made in the next game.
After the replay of the whole process of the goal, the on-site director gave the screen to Harry Kane who scored the ice-breaking goal, but the camera quickly switched to Li Qing.
This screen is very interesting. Harry Kane, who ranks third in the league scorer list, scored the first goal. Should Li Qing, who ranks first in the Premier League scorer list this season, respond?
The Liverpool fans sitting in front of the TV are full of confidence. They believe that Li Qing has never disappointed in the strong dialogue. This game is still the same. Tottenham scored first, and it is not the end of the game.
19 goals in 8 league rounds, do you think it's a joke?
But before Li Qing found an opportunity, Tottenham quickly expanded the score through a very efficient and fast counterattack.
In the 12th minute, Lloris launched an attack with a powerful hand throw. Joe Gomez headed the ball from the center circle. Harry Kane rushed in with the ball from the right side of the attack. Facing Van Dijk's defense, he used his right foot to pass a long-distance pass to the ground. The ball rolled quickly to the penalty spot along the grass.
Son Heung-min followed up at high speed in the middle, and shook off Arnold, who was not particularly fast. He stretched out his left foot at the penalty spot and completed a very accurate arch shot. The ball changed its trajectory and rushed to the near corner of the goal without slowing down. Goalkeeper Mignolet was out of reach...
The score on the scoreboard changed from 1:0 to 2:0. Liverpool coach Klopp, who was standing in the visiting team coach's command area, was stunned. His team was actually two goals behind in the 12th minute of the game...
It's incredible!
This kind of situation seems to have not happened for a long time!
Son Heung-min, who helped the home team score the goal to expand the score, was in high spirits. He opened his arms and ran to the right corner kick area to celebrate the spectacular counterattack goal with a sliding kneeling style.
Harry Kane, who made the assist, slid to Son Heung-min, and the two hugged each other. They tacitly felt a sense of pride and vented the emotional outburst brought by the goal.
Head coach Pochettino even half-knelt on the ground and roared to the sky!
Although there are still more than 70 minutes left in this game, he is confident that he can lead his team to defeat the defending champion Liverpool at the new Wembley Stadium!
Li Qing, who was originally calm, twitched his mouth slightly. Obviously, he did not expect the team to lose two goals in just a few minutes.
Van Dijk, who has been performing well since joining Liverpool, was very depressed. The first goal was lost because Arnold was dragged behind and failed to create offside. The second goal was lost because his partner Joe Gomez headed the ball, which brought a lot of subsequent problems...
Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said with undiminished momentum: "Tottenham's counterattack efficiency is too high. Two passes reached the Liverpool penalty area. The cooperation between Son Heung-min and Harry Kane is very entertaining. Liverpool was taught a lesson by Pochettino's Tottenham in the field of counterattacks, which they are good at."
