Chapter 316: The Consequences of the Wave, a Close Call

“aoaoaooaooooooo——”

The football hit the snow-white net, and the Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium instantly burst into amazing energy.

Firmino, who scored the goal, was very excited. He opened his arms and ran all the way to the KOP stand, which is the stand behind Manchester City’s goal. He was so excited that he couldn’t suppress it. He took off his jersey like Li Qing, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it hard into the audience.

Firmino helped Liverpool lock in the victory. Li Qing, who made an assist, was very happy. Compared with scoring a goal himself, he now enjoyed the sense of achievement of making a wonderful pass to his teammates.

It was so cool!

So he ran quickly to Firmino and incited the fanatical atmosphere of the audience with his teammates.

Klopp in front of the home team coaching seat did not show a combination punch this time. He grinned like a bloodthirsty beast, looking very ferocious, but no Liverpool people felt afraid, on the contrary, they felt particularly kind.

This kind of Klopp is the Klopp they love!

In sharp contrast, Manchester City fans, whether in the away stands or in front of the TV, all held their heads in pain, obviously unable to accept this result.

As a strong contender for the Premier League title this season, they actually lost 1:4 at Anfield, which is unbelievable!

After a brief period of pain, Guardiola tried to ignite the fighting spirit of the players on the field through inciting body movements on the sidelines, but the remaining time of the game was getting shorter and shorter, and the three-goal deficit had made the players on the field see no hope of equalizing, so everyone looked distraught.

"There are only four minutes left in the regular game time, and Liverpool is leading by three goals! Josep Guardiola's Manchester City's hope of equalizing the score is completely shattered!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray looked at Guardiola and shook his head and said, "If this is the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City must have a chance to equalize the score. Don't forget... this is Anfield!"

Tianchao Channel 5 commentator He Wei said regretfully: "It can be said that Manchester City, which is in its heyday, encounters Li Qing, who is in better form. It can be said to be very unfortunate, but it is fortunate for the fans in front of the TV. Let us see an omnipotent Li Qing, who single-handedly leads Liverpool to a big lead over the championship rival Manchester City at home..."

Klopp quickly calmed down after the excitement. Although the game can basically be won, it cannot be taken lightly. There are still four minutes left in the game, and there should be seven or eight minutes including injury time, so full defense is the focus of the next game.

Who to replace?

Klopp's eyes swept over Li Qing and Firmino in succession, and finally fixed on Firmino.

Leaving Li Qing on the field can definitely have a deterrent effect!

Manchester City players, who had the advantage of kicking off, did not play passively. They launched an offensive with an attitude of doing their best and leaving it to fate. The three-goal lead was a huge incentive for Liverpool players, and they were able to defend well.

Bernardo Silva, who received the ball, made a direct cross from the right, and Robertson stretched his foot to block the ball out of the sideline. The referee blew the whistle in his mouth, indicating a substitution on the sidelines.

Li Qing thought he was going to be substituted, but the number displayed was 9, which was Firmino. He couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The score was already 4:1, why didn't he let himself enjoy the applause of the fans?

Depressed!

"pappapapaaaa——"

Firmino, who sealed the victory, was replaced by Milner, and thunderous applause rang out over Anfield.

Manchester City scored a goal before the end of 90 minutes of regular time.

De Bruyne's 45-degree cross from the right was very accurate, just bypassing Van Dijk in front and Lovren in the middle. Jesus, who came on as a substitute, stretched out his foot and poked the ball into the goal before Matim cleared the ball.

Jesus, who scored the goal, did not celebrate, but just ran back silently. There was little time left, and narrowing the score would not change the result.

Guardiola didn't care about these. He stood on the sidelines, excitedly inciting the emotions of the players, hoping that his players could hold on to the end.

Klopp was obviously very dissatisfied with the team's loss of the ball, and stood on the sidelines and roared excitedly.

Liverpool fans in the audience didn't have any special feelings, but simply thought that Manchester City was saving some face at the end of the game.

Until... in the third minute of injury time, Manchester City player Gundogan's supplementary shot in the penalty area helped the team score another goal, tying the score to 3:4.

Suddenly, the fanatical atmosphere of Anfield Stadium returned.

"Liverpool's defense has been terrible during this period!"

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said angrily: "There is still more than one minute of injury time. I don't know if Liverpool can hold on until the end of the game."

The Liverpool players on the field looked at each other, looking very helpless.

Li Qing felt very depressed. If he had known that a three-goal lead would lead to the team's slackness, he would have kept it at 3:1.

Klopp in front of the home team's coaching bench was already unable to complain, standing on the sidelines with his hands spread out.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said in high spirits: "Gabriel Jesus and Ilkay Gundogan scored two goals in four minutes! Now Liverpool leads Manchester City 4:3! There is still more than one minute left for Manchester City! Equalize the score, enough to be hungry!"

With the score only one goal away, the Manchester City players who were originally in a state of despair have now fully recovered their fighting spirit and urged the referee Oliver to let the Liverpool players kick off as soon as possible.

Liverpool players hesitated until the last half an hour of injury time before they kicked the ball out.

The ball quickly returned to Li Qing's feet, and Manchester City players swarmed up. Li Qing knew that he couldn't give the ball to his nervous teammates at this time. He first pretended to pass the ball to Wijnaldum, tricking Aguero and Jesus to stretch their feet to steal the ball, and then suddenly dunked the ball to Manchester City's defensive half.

Gundogan and De Bruyne rushed forward at the same time. Li Qing, who had already used [Physical Potion], used the change in his body's center of gravity to shake off the breakthrough angle and headed towards the left sideline.

Manchester City players thought Li Qing was going to delay the game time, and Kyle Walker, David Silva and Bernardo Silva turned a corner and rushed to the right sideline of their own defense, thinking of jointly stealing the ball from Li Qing's feet.

At this moment, Li Qing suddenly stopped on the spot, dunked the ball to the right front with his left heel, and then drove the ball towards the middle.

This scared Stones, who quickly knocked down Li Qing with the cooperation of his partner Otamendi.

Oliver blew the whistle, giving Liverpool a direct free kick about 40 meters away from the goal on the left rib, and the time came to the fifth minute of injury time.

Klopp was very anxious standing on the sidelines, complaining to the fourth official, saying that the five minutes of injury time had already passed, why the referee had not blown the whistle to end the game.

The fourth official was helpless, and the referee Oliver was responsible for blowing the whistle. He was really powerless.

Liverpool did not rush to take a free kick, but waited until the impatient Manchester City players retreated to the stipulated 9.15 meters before kicking.

Li Qing, who got the ball, seemed to use his excellent footwork to fight the opponent's foul, but in fact he suddenly accelerated while the opponent was close, and dribbled the ball straight to the left corner kick area.

Gundogan, De Bruyne and Aguero, who were exhausted, couldn't help rolling their eyes, obviously they didn't have the physical strength to chase Li Qing who seemed to be full of blood.

It was too late for the second defensive team to rush to Li Qing. The referee Oliver looked at the time on his watch and blew the whistle to end the game: "Beep~beep~beep~~"

"Game over! Game over!"

He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, shouted: "Liverpool defeated Manchester City 4:3 at home with Li Qing's three shots and one assist!"
