Chapter 355 Breakthrough

The on-site director gave a slow-motion replay, from Li Qing's stop and pass to Alba to receiving the ball and rushing into the penalty area, it was done in one go, like flowing water. Facing Pique's backup defense, he used his outstanding speed to cut inside, but the 30-year-old Pique reacted a little slower and kicked Li Qing's right foot behind.

Multiple angles were given in succession, and it can be seen that Pique really kicked Li Qing down, which is equivalent to saying that this is a penalty.

But the referee Kuipers didn't think so. He thought Li Qing was trying to cheat a penalty, so he gave the angry Li Qing a yellow card.

Liverpool coach Klopp talked with his hands and looked at Kuipers who was determined to make a penalty. He was very helpless. He wanted to get angry but was afraid of being sent off with a red card. In the end, he could only hold it in his heart and wait until the end of the game to explode.

Li Qing, who received a yellow card, instantly became honest. He had been willful once in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and he couldn't be willful again. It's not that he was afraid to admit that the team was guilty, but he didn't want to watch the team fail to reverse Barcelona and advance to the Champions League final under such a good situation.

It doesn't matter if the penalty is not awarded. We still have plenty of time. What are we afraid of?

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, shook his head and said: "The referee Kuipers really shouldn't have done it. Pique's foul was very obvious."

"In fact, it's not Kuipers' fault for this ball. According to a broadcast screen just now, his angle was not very good, and the assistant referee's vision was also blocked. He had to admit it without VAR technology."

Barcelona coach Valverde breathed a sigh of relief. If the referee and the assistant referee had not had a good vision just now, Liverpool would have been very likely to equalize the score.

There were more than seven minutes left in the first half of the game, and he didn't know if he could keep the score.

Thinking of this, he shook his head. As a world-class giant team, how could Barcelona consider defense at home?

Attack!

Must attack!

Only by bringing the battle to Liverpool's half can the safety of the team's defense be guaranteed. After all, he sent out this lineup for more consideration of offense rather than defense, otherwise Paulinho should be sent to the midfield instead of Iniesta.

As time went on, both sides became more cautious in attack. Li Qing and Messi seemed to be forbearing and waiting for opportunities. Unfortunately, the score on the scoreboard did not change until the end of the first half. Barcelona was 0:2 behind Liverpool at home.

"The first half is over!"

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, said loudly: "The visiting team Liverpool led Barcelona 2:0 at Camp Nou with Li Qing's double goal. In the 37th minute of the game, Li Qing made a brilliant breakthrough and caused Pique to foul. Unfortunately, the referee Kuipers did not award a penalty kick, otherwise Liverpool would have tied the total score at Camp Nou..."

The players of both sides went to the player tunnel one after another. The atmosphere at Camp Nou was obviously affected by Li Qing's two wonderful goals. Only the Liverpool fans who were assigned to the three-tier stands sang the team song "You Will Never Walk Alone" over and over again under the guidance of a special person, as if they would never get tired. The loud singing penetrated the space and reached the ears of the Liverpool players who were walking towards the player tunnel.

Li Qing, who was walking side by side with Firmino towards the player tunnel, paused, turned his head and looked at the three-tier stands on the north side, and was very moved.

If there were no crazy cheers from these lovely fans in this game, the whole team would not have burst out with such powerful energy to keep the goal intact.

He said silently in his heart: "There are still 45 minutes in the second half, and I will return the shame I buried at Anfield a week ago to Barcelona!"

As the players of both sides entered the player tunnel, the Camp Nou entered the calmest period since the opening. Ronaldo, who was paying attention to this game, frowned as he listened to the commentator's review of the first half of the game.

If Liverpool can finally reverse Barcelona, ​​then this team... will be too difficult to play.

Of course, Barcelona's final promotion to the Champions League final is also a headache.

If he can choose his opponent, Ronaldo would prefer Barcelona.

Knowing the ins and outs, it is easier to deal with.

The 15-minute halftime break passed quickly, and the players of both sides walked from the player tunnel to the stadium one after another, waiting for the start of the second half.

"Oh? Barcelona has to make adjustments first?"

The on-site director switched the broadcast screen, and He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, was a little surprised: "Paulinho, the Brazilian international who transferred from Lingnan Hengtai to Barcelona last summer, is ready to come on the bench. Who is he going to replace? Oh? He will replace Iniesta, who did not contribute much on the offensive end in the first half."

"Lian Po is old, can he still make a living? Iniesta's contribution on both offense and defense in the first half was really very little, and the substitution was an expected result."

Commentary guest Xu Yang said: "The offensive end led by Li Qing brought continuous pressure to Barcelona's defense. Liverpool, who wanted to reverse Barcelona and advance to the Champions League final, would definitely strengthen the offense in the second half. Iniesta, who had almost no defensive ability, would definitely not be able to withstand it. It was a very reasonable choice to replace Paulinho, who made certain contributions on both offense and defense."

Hengtai fans sitting in front of the TV were excited. This Brazilian international made great contributions to Hengtai, so joining the world-class giant Barcelona was blessed by fans. Seeing Paulinho appear on the field to compete with the Chinese superstar Li Qing in the Champions League semi-finals brought a lot of highlights.

"Beep~"

Accompanied by the whistle of the Dutch referee Kuipers, the second half of the second leg of the 2017-2018 Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Liverpool at home officially began.

Liverpool player Firmino kicked the ball to Li Qing. Suarez, who was close to the center circle, rushed towards Li Qing like a hungry tiger. The extremely fast video game boy Dembele was aggressive, but Li Qing was calm and used simple footwork skills and body changes to complete the breakthrough. He dribbled forward and faced Paulinho, who was fighting and retreating.

"wuwuwuuwuuuuuuuuuu——"

The Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou subconsciously made a huge boo for Li Qing who broke through.

Li Qing admired Paulinho very much, but admiration was admiration, and the game still had to be played seriously. The first principle of respecting the opponent was to go all out!

Paulinho, who had just come on the court, did not understand the rhythm of the field well enough, which was just right for Li Qing to use the fake pass to try to dribble through Paulinho's breakthrough point to see if he could complete a lightning strike.

"The third one!"

As soon as the commentator He Wei of Tianchao 5 finished speaking, Rakitic rushed up and made an unreasonable side collision.

Unexpectedly, Li Qing was like a wall. He was not knocked down as expected. He just staggered. The ball was still under his control. Therefore, the referee Kuipers did not blow the whistle.

Rakitic's momentum was too strong, causing his center of gravity to be unstable, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Busquets obviously did not expect that Rakitic, an adult, could not knock down a 17-year-old boy. He was stunned for a while, and when he came to his senses, Li Qing was already two meters in front of him.
