Chapter 274 Just Give It a Try
Alisson, who was waiting for death on the spot, did not receive God's blessing. Li Qing, who dribbled the ball across the penalty area line, slowed down and raised his left foot. Alisson made a judgment based on his own experience. His body was like a spring that was squeezed to the extreme, and he rushed towards the goal. Right side of body.
The corner of Li Qing's mouth raised slightly, and he didn't shoot with his raised left foot. He used the inside of the instep of his left foot to dunk the ball to the right. He chose a very safe way to change the direction of the passer, and knocked down Alisson before hitting the empty goal.
The scoreboard at Rome's Olympic Stadium changed from 0:1 to 0:2.
The Roma fans in the audience were silent. The excitement since the start of the game was like falling into an ice cellar.
Li Qing, who scored the goal, ran forward with a smile, because the stand behind the Roma goal was the stand where fans of the visiting team Liverpool gathered. He raised his arms, and the Liverpool fans present broke out in hysterics.
"Leeeeeeeee——"
Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "The ball has been scored! Young player Li Qing seized the opportunity and his iconic counterattack with the ball helped Liverpool expand the score. If the game ends according to the current score, Liverpool will come back from death two rounds ahead of schedule." The group qualified and secured first place in the group!”
The excitement brought about by the two-goal lead was very great. Liverpool players ran towards Li Qing to celebrate the goal.
Head coach Klopp even showed off his iconic combination punches at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, setting off a fanatical atmosphere in the audience.
The Liverpool fans in front of the TV were as excited as if they were celebrating a festival.
Although this time period was after four o'clock in the morning in the Imperial City, it did not affect the emotional catharsis of the Chinese Liverpool fans, so much so that many communities erupted in disgusted roars.
Roma coach Di Francesco sighed, only then did he realize how powerful Liverpool was.
If I had known that this would be the result, I might as well have taken it slow and steady.
Liverpool's two goals were quick counterattacks, which means that if the home game is relatively conservative, there will be no two goals conceded.
There are no ifs in life. Di Francisco did not want the team to lose the game. At this time, he could only fight hard, otherwise it would be impossible to equalize the score.
If Roma wants to equalize the score, the only way is to strengthen their offensive!
In the restarted game, Roma were like their nickname "Wolves". They attacked like a wave and kept Liverpool in their own half. However, no goal was scored despite the repeated efforts. On the contrary, the defensive players of their own team also made some mistakes. Multiple 'yellow cards' contributions.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour of the game passed, and the scoreboard still showed 0:2.
The home team goes first and the away team goes last.
Time passed by second by second, and Roma still did not reduce the score. Forward Dzeko played very depressed during this period. From a game perspective, Roma's failure to reduce the score was directly related to his being completely restricted by Van Dijk.
In the 39th minute, Liverpool scored again.
Nainggolan's long-range shot from outside the penalty area was blocked by Matip. The football fell just at the feet of Henderson. He did not hand the ball to the running Li Qing, but gave it to the left wing at high speed. Mane.
Because Li Qing attracted most of the defensive attention, Mane and Salah were left unguarded.
What happened next made Roma's fighting spirit plummet. Mane did not take credit for receiving the ball. He handed the ball to Salah, who was in a better position. The latter showed no mercy to his old club and sealed his throat with a sword.
Salah, who scored the goal, raised his hands in the air to show respect for his old club Roma, indicating that he did not want to celebrate the goal, but this did not affect other Liverpool players from celebrating the goal.
"pappappaaaaa——"
Although the team fell behind by a big score, Roma fans still applauded Salah to show their support for him.
Liverpool head coach Klopp is particularly excited. A three-goal lead almost means that the game has been won in advance!
However, the surprise was yet to come. Before the end of the first half, Li Qing scored a wonderful free kick in front of the penalty area, and the scoreboard showed a score of 0:4.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, the Rome Olympic Stadium, in addition to the visiting fans of the visiting team, was still making huge cheers. Roma fans chose to remain silent. Some even tempered fans left the stadium early to express their strong dissatisfaction.
The Roma players who appeared on the broadcast screen were livid. El Shaarawi, Dzeko and Perotti covered their faces with their hands, as if they were ashamed to face the Roma fans.
From a scoring perspective, Roma's lack of goals is directly related to the three forwards.
In sharp contrast are the Liverpool players. They are in a very good mood with a four-goal lead. The players who have a good relationship with each other are arm-in-arm with each other, with vulgar expressions, as if they are not going to the locker room but to join a team to drink tea.
The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly. Before the game changed sides in the second half, Roma took the lead in making personnel adjustments. Perotti and Shaarawy, who had performed poorly, were replaced by Lorenzo Pellegrini and Gerson. Down.
Substitutions like knife changes were not reflected in the home team Roma. Instead, Li Qing succeeded in a sneak attack during the second half when Roma stepped up their attack, scoring his third goal of the game and his second hat in the Champions League this season. trick.
Li Qing was very happy to score the goal. Feeling the almost silent atmosphere of Rome's Olympic Stadium, the smile on his face became even more dazzling.
“The competition was unbelievable!”
Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said ecstatically, and then changed the topic: "Is the young player Li Qing going to cause a tragedy in Rome? Is Roma going to dream back to that night in the third round of the Champions League group stage four years ago?" "
Five goals behind, many Roma fans left the Olympic Stadium early. Looking around, there were only about 60,000 fans left, which means that 20,000 fans had left early during this period.
"Finally it's a lot quieter."
Li Qing celebrated with his teammates and said loudly.
"Yeah."
Arnold smiled and said, "It just feels a little too quiet."
"It's true, or... you let them score a goal?"
Li Qing looked at Arnold with a smile.
Arnold: "..."
The team was leading by five goals, and Klopp was ready to make adjustments to the players on the field.
Five goals behind, Roma players almost had no intention of continuing the game. If the game could be ended early, they would agree with both hands, but the rules are the rules, and the game must be played for 90 minutes.
Roma, who had the advantage of kicking off, lost the ball after a few passes, and the ball rolled towards Li Qing again.
Li Qing was about to take the ball to control the tempo of the game, when Nainggolan suddenly made a flying tackle from the side. Fortunately, he was alert and jumped up in advance, but he was still kicked on the upper part of his shoes, lost his balance in mid-air, and fell heavily to the ground.
He was fine, but his butt hurt a little.
Nainggolan did not show any apology, but instead said harshly: "Boy, if you dare to score again, I guarantee that you will not be so lucky next time!"
Li Qing raised his eyebrows and was immediately unhappy. He jumped up at that time, staring down at Nainggolan, who was half a head shorter than him, and laughed instead of being angry: "I want to see how you treat me!"
"You will know if you try it."
"Try it? Who is afraid of who?"
Nainggolan looks fierce and has tattoos on his body, giving people a sense of social people, but Li Qing knew that he could not weaken his momentum at this time, so he sarcastically said tit for tat.
