Chapter 382 Five Centimeters

“aoaoaoaoooooooooaooo——”

The Liverpool fans and neutral fans at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev went crazy. Only the Real Madrid fans were praying that Li Qing would not break through Navas’ goal in this direct free kick opportunity.

Li Qing’s free kick skills are now among the top three in the world, not to mention the best in the world.

Goalkeeper Navas had done a lot of research on Li Qing’s direct free kicks before the game, so he frowned and was worried. In theory, direct free kicks at this position are not difficult unless the quality is very high. The problem is that Li Qing often plays world waves that amaze everyone. Navas had to be cautious. The four-man wall took nearly half a minute to stand.

Ronaldo, who acted as a human wall, felt some pressure. He knew Li Qing’s direct free kick skills. With the shooter’s sense, he felt that Li Qing’s ball was likely to threaten Navas’ goal, and there was even a certain chance of opening the scoring.

Zidane, who came to the home team coach command area, paced back and forth. Compared with Liverpool coach Klopp who was full of expectations, he was worried.

The on-site director gave Li Qing a close-up shot of his face. He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, looked at the confident Li Qing and said loudly: "This position is very suitable for left-footed players to take the penalty. As long as the speed and angle of the ball are properly controlled, according to Li Qing's direct free kick success rate, it is almost 80%."

"Beep~"

At this time, the referee Ma Riqi blew his whistle, and the cheers made by Liverpool fans in the audience dropped significantly. Obviously, they were afraid that the cheers they made would affect Li Qing's direct free kick success rate.

"wuwuwuuwuuuuuuu——"

Real Madrid fans wished that Li Qing, who took the direct free kick, would have a zero goal rate, or even miss the goal post or go over the crossbar.

As Li Qing got closer and closer to the football, the boos from the Olympic Stadium in Kiev became more and more severe, until Li Qing's right foot was on the right side of the football, because... the Real Madrid fans who were concentrating on their attention no longer had the energy to make any noise, and they stared at Li Qing who was kicking the football with his left foot.

"Boom~"

C Ronaldo, who was acting as a human wall, heard a crisp muffled sound and jumped up with his teammates.

The football that rose from the ground quickly appeared in front of him, growing from small to large. Out of instinct, Ronaldo tilted his head to the left, and the powerful football almost brushed his ear tip and flew towards the goal.

Ronaldo, who narrowly escaped, breathed a sigh of relief. If the ball had just hit his face directly, how painful would it have been?

The football that flew quickly towards the goal did not rotate at all, like a cannonball, hitting the upper left corner of the goal.

Navas, who was standing in the near corner of the goal, that is, on the right side of the goal on the broadcast screen, made a quick move, bent his right knee and pushed the ground, and stretched his arms sideways.

"NO!"

When his body stretched to the limit and didn't touch the football, his eyes were full of despair.

Some Real Madrid fans standing at the back of the goal saw it very clearly, some couldn't bear to look directly, and chose to close their eyes.

"God, be with us!"

It's not known whether it was the God believed in by Zidane who stood up at this moment, and the desperate Navas heard a crisp collision sound: "Bang~"

The football hit the middle of the left goal post hard and bounced back into the penalty area. Central defender Ramos was quick-eyed and quick-footed, leaning forward with his upper body, and using a diving dive to push the football out of the baseline.

"wowoowowooooooooo——"

The sky above the Kyiv Olympic Stadium was filled with the lingering exclamations of Real Madrid fans.

"Ah~"

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, sighed and said regretfully: "What a pity! Just five centimeters away! If Liverpool can take the lead, the next game will be much easier."

"It is incredible that the 17-year-old Li Qing can have such a footwork." Commentator Gong Lei said in a deep voice: "A 32-meter direct free kick, even Messi and Ronaldo may not be able to score a free kick of this quality. It has to be said... The young Chinese player Li Qing is a super genius that only appears once in a hundred years in modern football. It's a pity..."

Speaking of this, Gong Lei stopped. Although he did not finish his words, anyone with a little thinking ability knows what he said next, but his identity is not suitable for saying it.

Gong Lei has such considerations, but He Wei does not. He said bluntly: "If those laymen of the Football Association could have been as respectful and courteous as Les Reid, the technical director of the English Football Association, why would we envy the England national team?"

The broadcast screen showed Liverpool coach Klopp, who was very upset and sighed to the sky. As a coach, he knew what it meant to score first.

What a pity!

Arnold was about to attack the left corner kick, and Li Qing made a gesture that only they could understand.

Li Qing is Liverpool's most threatening offensive player, and countless eyes are on him, especially Real Madrid's defensive players.

At the age of 17 and three months, Li Qing is 1.85 meters tall and weighs 78 kilograms. Standing in the penalty area, he is not particularly tall, but he is also above average. Ramos, Ronaldo and Benzema all looked over at the same time.

Li Qing, who entered the penalty area, chose to stand behind the penalty spot. Ramos and Benzema both had the task of defending Liverpool's offensive players, so the responsibility of defending Li Qing fell on Ronaldo.

Zidane frowned, his eyes locked on Li Qing. There was a reason why he did not ask the players to focus on Li Qing in the corner kick defense tactics. In the past 2017-2018 season, Li Qing scored a total of 113 goals in the league, Champions League, League Cup and FA Cup, only 2 of which were headers. It is definitely unrealistic to use a large number of defensive players to prevent the possibility of losing the ball by 1.76%.

However, Ronaldo is good at heading and has a very accurate judgment of the landing point of the football, so it is more than enough to defend Li Qing.

Arnold saw that before attacking the left corner kick, he raised his right arm and made a gesture with obvious tactical intentions, which immediately attracted the attention of the Real Madrid defenders and got closer to defending Liverpool's high point players.

Li Qing smiled at Ronaldo, and Arnold started to run up.

Ronaldo was a little puzzled, but at this moment, Li Qing suddenly accelerated and ran from the back of the penalty spot to the small penalty area. Out of instinct, he followed Li Qing and ran forward.

However, Li Qing's forward movement was an illusion. He braked suddenly on the spot as soon as his right foot stepped out.

Ronaldo was already 33 years old, and his emergency brake was a bit slow. He could only watch Li Qing turn back.

Arnold took a corner kick, and Ronaldo's heart skipped a beat, because the fast-flying football was not heading into the penalty area, but... outside the penalty area, which happened to coincide with Li Qing's turning position!

Li Qing often pulled Arnold to practice together, and it worked at this time. The two of them passed and ran in unison!

"aooaoaooaoaooooooo——"

Accompanied by the loud cheers of Liverpool fans, Li Qing, who turned back from the penalty area to the outside of the penalty area, swung his left foot at the falling football and made a half-volley shot.
