Chapter 26 A Bold Idea

Li Qing, who scored the goal, was not as calm as usual, because this was his first goal in his real career, even if it was only in the English Football Youth Super League.

All things are difficult at the beginning. With the first goal, is the second one far behind?

Brewster made a wonderful assist and became the object of Li Qing's hug. He smiled and pointed his hands directly at Brewster. The two of them clasped their palms in a tacit understanding, and then hugged their teammates who came to celebrate together.

After more than 80 minutes of hard work, they finally scored a goal!

Glenn Macaulay and Adekanye on the bench can be said to be the two most uncomfortable people, especially Glenn Macaulay. Li Qing's goal came from replacing him...

He scored a goal as soon as he came on as a substitute, which can be called a textbook substitute appearance.

Substitution is like changing a knife!

Reporters, self-media reporters and spectators who came to the training ground of Kirkby Youth Training Academy kept pressing the shooting button in their hands to save this wonderful moment. Some of them had a bold idea in their minds-perhaps in the near future, he will shock the world!

Most of them started to pay attention to Liverpool U18 youth team before they started preparing for the 2016-2017 National Youth Super League, but they had never seen this yellow-skinned player. It was impossible to dig him from other teams before the season break, which means that this player was promoted from the U15-U16 echelon by tapping the potential internally!

But no matter what, the ability that Li Qing just showed was amazing!

From the start of getting the ball, every step was textbook-like, especially receiving the ball and shooting, without any extra movements.

A natural shooter!

This was the evaluation given to Li Qing by the few reporters present, and it was also the core topic of the report. As for whether Li Qing could play well in the future, that was not what they considered.

Back to the point, Neil Critchley quickly called the captain Masterson after celebrating the goal excitedly and explained how to play the next game.

Middlesbrough U18 will definitely not give up after being scored before the end of the game!

Only by doing a good job of defense in the last period of time can we win the game.

Of course, Neil Critchley did not intend to defend until the end of the game. He also specifically told Li Qing that he did not need to defend too hard in the next game time, just pretend!

Instead of playing the rest of the game nervously, it is better to use the Middlesbrough U18 players' eagerness to equalize the score to completely kill the game!

The game was restarted with the referee's whistle. Li Qing just pretended to defend and waited for a counterattack opportunity according to the tactical requirements of head coach Neil Critchley.

Liverpool U18 ranked third in the North District and Middlesbrough U18 ranked eighth. There is a certain gap in their strength. It is very difficult for Middlesbrough U18, who defended for more than 80 minutes, to suddenly organize an effective attack, especially when the three substitutions have been used up.

The two teams seemed to have changed jerseys, switching offense and defense, but Liverpool U18's defensive pressure was not great.

In the first minute of injury time, Masterson directly kicked the ball away, and the football coincidentally flew to the right side of his own attack.

"Look! It's No. 28!"

The audience on the sidelines was immediately excited!

A red lightning flashed quickly along the right sideline, chasing the ball.

All the players of Middlesbrough U18 pressed across the half court, and even the central defender came to the top of the arc of Liverpool U18's defensive half court. The physical exhaustion brought by the injury time was fatal, and Li Qing had just come on the bench for a few minutes and was full of energy.

So, we could only hope that the ball would fly out of the sideline.

Unfortunately, things did not go as we wished. Li Qing stretched out his right foot while running and stopped the ball in the unmanned area in front of him with the arch of his foot.

Middlesbrough U18 head coach Liddell sighed helplessly. The defensive player was more than ten meters away from Li Qing. Could the goalkeeper alone complete the defense?

The answer was no.

Facing the goalkeeper who abandoned the goal and attacked, Li Qing calmly dribbled past the goalkeeper and then kicked the ball into the unguarded goal.

Scored twice!

2:0!

There was more than a minute left in injury time, which was equivalent to completely killing the game!

Almost all the players on the home team's bench excitedly rushed across the sideline and pounced on Li Qing who scored the second goal.

Neil Critchley excitedly raised his arms and shouted again, and then clapped his hands with his assistant Mike Garrity to celebrate the goal that sealed the victory!

The facial expressions of both of them could not hide their admiration for Li Qing. Before, they had thought that Li Qing would slowly adapt to the U18 competition, but now it seemed a bit redundant.

Although Li Qing looked thin, his confrontation ability was quite amazing. He was not at all inferior to the burly defensive players over 1.8 meters tall!

Neil Critchley suddenly had a bold idea in his mind, maybe... U18 can't keep him for too long...

U23?

No!

If Li Qing can continue to perform at this level for a few months, maybe... he can be recruited by Klopp to participate in the Premier League!

The forward Mane will participate in the African Cup in January next year. Coupled with the large-scale injury craze of the midfield and frontcourt players, promoting young players has become one of the few feasible options, especially Klopp likes to tap his own potential.

The game ended with Liverpool U18 defeating Middlesbrough U18 [2:0]. Li Qing, who was called upon to play in the final stages, scored two goals, which was the key to the home team's victory. Therefore, he became the focus of attention of reporters and fans present.

This also made Li Qing feel like a star for the first time!

Of course, he did not lose himself here, because he knew that the Premier League and the Champions League were the real stage.
