Chapter 506: Taking the Lead, a Lightning Start

One hour before the game started, the starting lineups of England and Spain appeared on the official website of UEFA.

Spain's official formation was 433, goalkeeper De Gea, defenders Marcos Alonso, Ramos, Nacho and Carvajal, central midfielders Saul, Busquets and Thiago, forwards Isco, Rodrigo and Aspas.

England's official formation was the 343 guessed by the media before the game, goalkeeper Pickford, defenders Maguire, Stones and Joe Gomez, midfielders Luke Shaw, Dale, Henderson and Arnold, forwards Rashford, Harry Kane and Li Qing.

"aoaoaooaoaooaooaoooooo——"

As soon as the English players came to the stadium to warm up, the fans in the audience burst into a huge cheer as violent as a tsunami.

When Li Qing appeared on the field from the player tunnel, the deafening loud cheers resounded throughout the field: "Leeeeeeeeeeee——"

Facing these lovely fans, Li Qing waved and thanked them for their presence and support.

The Spanish players who came to the new Wembley Stadium did not receive such treatment. The sounds they faced were the opposite. The overwhelming boos poured down, making the Spanish players who came to the field to warm up very uncomfortable.

The Spanish national team has several players who play in the Premier League. In the past, they have always been loved by fans of their respective clubs, but in front of the national league, any club friendship is plastic flowers and is treated with boos.

After about 40 minutes of warm-up time, the players of both sides returned to the locker room one after another to prepare for the first round of the fourth group of the European Nations League A level, which will soon begin.

The on-site director gave the audience a picture in succession. Zhan Jun, the commentator of Juli TV who received the live game signal in advance, said loudly: "We can clearly feel the extremely enthusiastic atmosphere on the scene through the picture. The fans love Li Qing, who originally belonged to us. Just look at one side of the stands and you will see countless posters about Li Qing. It's really enviable..."

The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV felt very annoyed, and finally they could only transfer these resentments to the incompetent Football Association.

It is worth mentioning that before the game started, the English Football Association held a ceremony for Li Qing to show the three personal trophies he won in the World Cup in Russia, namely the trophies corresponding to the World Cup Best Rookie, World Cup Best Player and World Cup Top Scorer.

The "Li Qing Song" created by Liverpool fans for Li Qing soon hovered over the new Wembley Stadium. The loud singing seemed to illuminate the whole night and unite the hearts of all those who supported Li Qing...

The little guy from Kirkby

If you underestimate him, you're dead

The speed of lightning, unparalleled skills

One goal after another led the great KOP to victory

Win the championship!

Goal, goal, goal!

Goal, never stop!

Li, our king

Accept the sincere worship of your believers

Victory, victory!

…

Marcos Alonso and De Gea standing in the queue really hate this song. Whether at the club level or the national team level, they have no fear of the England national team. The problem is that terrifying little guy Li Qing.

So far, there is still an amazing record that the two can't match.

Not only has he never lost, but he has more wins than draws. With such an opponent, the tactics formulated by Spanish head coach Enrique before the game are to maintain a draw and strive for victory.

"Beep~"

With the referee Kuipers blowing his whistle, the first group match of the fourth group of the first European Nations League A level was officially announced. Spain, which has the advantage of kicking off, adopts a relatively conservative step-by-step approach to organize the attack, from the backcourt to the middle and front court slowly.

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, took the opportunity to say the iconic opening remarks: "Tianchao TV, Tianchao TV, now we are broadcasting a focus battle in Group 4 of the European Nations League A. England will play against Spain at the new Wembley Stadium. The visiting team Spain is wearing red jerseys and white shorts. They are attacking from the right side of the broadcast screen to the left side..."

England, wearing white jerseys and black shorts, took a full retreat at the beginning, leaving only Li Qing in the frontcourt as a counterattack point.

Although only Li Qing was at the forefront of the front line, the Spanish defensive players did not dare to neglect it, especially the central defenders Ramos and Nacho from Real Madrid, who were walking on thin ice. The other two full-backs Marcos Alonso and Carvajal could only take turns to advance and participate in the attack, which means that Li Qing personally attracted three Spanish defensive players.

Excluding goalkeeper De Gea, Spain's offense only has seven players left. Facing a nine-man defense system, the possibility of breaking through the defense is very low. After all, Busquets is mainly based on transition, and Saul is famous for joining the attack later. The only one who really organizes the attack is Thiago, who plays for Bayern.

Rodrigo and Aspas have performed well in La Liga, but lack proof in international competitions. In other words, there are not many players that Spain can rely on for offense, and the threat that can be brought to Pickford's goal is obviously insufficient.

After a series of passes, the ball came to Iscoi's feet. Facing Henderson and Dale's defense, he used the change in rhythm to shake the shooting angle and completed a long shot about 26 meters away from the goal.

Due to certain interference, his shot was strong but lacked accuracy, and the ball flew to the second-tier stands of the new Wembley Stadium.

England played against Spain at home and the first shot on goal was made by England. Li Qing was closely guarded on the right side of the attack, but the Spanish players could only interfere with his breakthroughs. The pass was powerless. After all, no matter how much preparation was made, it was not enough to deal with Li Qing's sudden pass.

Li Qing, who received the pass from Henderson, took advantage of Arnold's opportunity to dribble sideways. When Saul and Marcos Alonso thought Li Qing was cutting inside, they suddenly stopped on the spot and raised their left foot to kick the ball to the middle and lower part.

The ball rose up and fell into the defensive gap between Marcos Alonso and Ramos, and Li Qing's pass landed on the weak side of Spain's defense. Harry Kane blocked Ramos behind him. Since Li Qing passed the ball very comfortably, he did not need to adjust it.

"aooaoaoaoooooooo——"

Accompanied by the huge cheers from the new Wembley Stadium, Harry Kane opened his left arm to block Ramos, and shot the ball with his right foot. The football was like a cannonball and hit the upper corner of the goal. De Gea, who had just made a save, was stunned. Facing the powerful football, he was stunned. It was too late to make a save...

"Goooooooooooooooooal——"

The iconic shout of Sky TV commentator Andy Gray resounded throughout the live broadcast room. Tianchao 5 commentator He Wei said excitedly: "You can defend against breakthroughs, but you can't defend against Li Qing's pass! Spain can never defend against such a Li Qing! 1:0, England leads Spain at the new Wembley Stadium!"

Harry Kane, who scored a goal, turned and rushed towards Li Qing. Southgate, who was in the coaching booth of the home team, raised his arms and cheered in the fanatical atmosphere, venting the emotional outburst brought by the lightning start goal.
