Chapter 312 The Man Who Took a Free Kick as a Penalty Kick
"Old man, will Lee put Liverpool over the score in the second minute of the second half?"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray turned to his partner Martin Taylor and asked.
Martin Taylor looked at Li Qing, who was shown on the broadcast lake. His handsome face was full of confidence, and his bright starry eyes were domineering. He said without hesitation: "I bet! Li Qing is the goalkeeper." Will definitely come in!”
"No? It's a free kick, not a penalty kick."
"My intuition is not wrong, old man, how about... let's make a bet?"
"Okay, you lose!"
The corners of Andy Gray's mouth raised slightly.
At the same time, Liverpool head coach Klopp and the Liverpool fans in the audience are full of expectations. In their view, Li Qing's direct free kick from this position has a high possibility of scoring.
Goalkeeper Ederson stood in front of the goal line and kept directing the wall. He looked very nervous and kept arranging the wall left and right. It took a full minute to complete the arrangement of the wall under the urging of the referee Oliver.
Time passed by second by second, and Manchester City coach Guardiola was worried.
The work that could be completed in more than ten seconds actually took more than a minute, and I became worried even if I wasn't worried.
Li Qing retreated far enough and looked at the referee Oliver. His meaning was very clear - I am ready.
The referee Oliver looked at goalkeeper Ederson and saw the Brazilian nodding his head attentively and holding his breath. He blew hard and the whistle in his mouth made a sound: "Beep~"
"Will Ederson save Manchester City when he faces Li Qing who is in excellent form?"
Zhan Jun, the commentator of Juli TV, watched Li Qing in the broadcast screen attentively.
Because the shooting distance was a bit far, Li Qing took a four-step approach. That is, the first two steps were relatively short, and then the distance was increased successively. The last step was to stand with his right foot about 30 centimeters to the right of the football. Silently chanting in his mind: "Superstar moment, use it!"
I saw Li Qing's left foot hitting the middle and lower part of the football like a whip, and the football flying into the air with a violent breath flew quickly over Gundogan's head in the middle of Manchester City's five-man wall.
Halfway through the jump, Gundogan noticed a black shadow quickly passing by in front of his eyes, and when he looked more carefully, there was no shadow.
"aoaoaoaooooooo——"
The Liverpool fans in the audience roared like a tsunami.
The football passing quickly from high altitude was like a cannonball, without any rotation in mid-air, and blasted towards the goal with a devastating atmosphere.
The goalkeeper Ederson, who was holding his breath, looked at the football that had grown from small to large in an instant. His heart skipped a beat, and he jumped subconsciously. His excellent jumping ability made him feel like a spring squeezed to the extreme between the lightning and flints. "Whoosh" He jumped out, his body stretched extremely, his waist and abdomen straightened, and his right arm stretched out.
"It's still a little bit worse!"
Ederson, who had already done his best, looked at the football two or three centimeters away from his fingertips, filled with despair.
The football hit the inside of the left post of the goal, making a crisp and muffled sound, but it did not bounce out of the goal. Instead, it refracted slightly and hit the snow-white net...
The Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium were stunned for a moment, and then they burst into loud shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami: "aoaoaooaoooo——"
"Goooooooooooal——"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray seemed to have forgotten the bet he had with his partner Martin Taylor and subconsciously lengthened his voice.
"Another fantastic direct free kick!"
China Channel 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "Li Qing helped Liverpool take the lead again at home. Now... the score is 2:1!!"
Juli TV commentator Zhan Junben is a Liverpool fan. At this time, he was ecstatic and eloquent: "In the fourth minute of the second half, the key man Li Qing scored another goal! A wonderful direct free kick! Manchester City people can use fouls again and again Stop Li Qing’s progress, but you can never stop him from scoring!”
Li Qing, who scored the goal, wanted to celebrate the goal with a shrug as if nothing had happened. However, his teammate Arnold did not give him this chance and directly dragged him down behind him. Other teammates swarmed forward, one by one.
"Help~"
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Liverpool coach Klopp's signature combination of punches hit the void three times in a row, venting the emotional outburst caused by the score exceeding.
If the 2:1 score can continue throughout the game, the difference between them will be seven points!
With 15 rounds left in the league, the defending league champion is almost certain!
I don’t know if Guardiola saw the league championship getting further and further away. He covered his bald head with his hands and pursed his lips, obviously trying to control his emotions.
The Manchester City players on the court looked at me and I looked at you, and the looks in each other's eyes were full of helplessness.
They really couldn't figure it out, how could this Li Qing score goals so well?
Two per game?
Too exaggerated?
The broadcast showed Manchester City's leading striker Aguero, and Liverpool's leading striker Li Qing scored two goals. However, Aguero, who has high hopes from Manchester City fans, has not yet completed a shot that hit the goal.
Immediately, the broadcast screen showed Manchester City midfielder De Bruyne.
Manchester City's equalizing goal can be said to have nothing to do with De Bruyne. It was Sane who received Kyle Walker's accurate long pass and broke through the penalty area and shot successfully. It is equivalent to saying that De Bruyne has not directly brought actual benefits to Manchester City so far.
This... is a world of difference from De Bruyne who contributed one goal and three assists in the first round.
De Bruyne certainly wanted to help the team equalize the score, but Liverpool's defense did not give this opportunity...
Guardiola was not very satisfied with the performance of the players on the field, but it seemed a bit early to make substitutions now. He had to continue to observe the game when he was preparing to make substitutions.
Manchester City, which had the advantage of kicking off, quickly launched an offensive towards Liverpool's defensive half under the organization of De Bruyne and Gundogan. Liverpool players who surpassed the score again were in high spirits and high morale. They launched high-position pressure at the first time, making it difficult for Manchester City players to organize their offense normally.
"wuwuwuwuuuuuu——"
The football came to Sterling's feet on the right side of the attack, and a huge booing suddenly broke out over the Anfield stadium, giving it to the "traitor" Sterling.
Facing the overwhelming boos, Sterling raised his eyebrows. He wanted to pass the ball but chose to go it alone.
Sterling's footwork was pretty good. He used his speed and skills to break through Robertson's defense, but Van Dijk made up for the position very timely. He fell to the ground and shoveled Sterling and the ball out of the sideline.
"aooaooaoooooooo——"
"hahhahahaaa——"
Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers and laughter from the audience.
The cheers were obviously for Van Dijk, and the laughter was for Sterling.
Amid the overwhelming laughter, the referee Oliver not only did not blow the whistle to indicate Van Dijk's foul, but also gave Liverpool a free kick in the backcourt. Sterling was a little out of control and roared at the referee Oliver.
As the youngest referee in the Premier League, Oliver is very characterful. He gave Sterling a yellow card with a dark face.
