Football: The Strongest Post-Zero Generation

Chapter 533 Unprecedented New Record

Chelsea's morale was significantly affected after the restart of the game. They became very impatient in passing forward and no longer relied on Jorginho to organize the attack. Hazard and Willian used their excellent footwork skills to threaten Robertson and Arnold on both sides.

However, as time went on, the high-spirited Liverpool players gradually suppressed the Chelsea players' attack through active running and tacit substitutions, and had the opportunity to organize the attack forward again.

Mane, Firmino and Salah had a higher and higher tacit understanding, which put more and more pressure on Chelsea's defense. Chelsea coach Sarri decided to make substitutions first.

Due to the score being two goals behind, Sarri made two position adjustments directly.

Morata, who was more mobile, replaced Giroud, and Moses replaced Willian. The formation changed from 433 to 352. Rudiger, David Luiz and Azpilicueta formed three central defenders, Marcos Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic and Moses formed midfielders, and Morata and Hazard formed two forwards.

The broadcast changed and gave Liverpool coach Klopp a close-up shot of his face. The meaning was very obvious, that is, they wanted to see Klopp make tit-for-tat adjustments.

Football matches often attract attention not only from the on-field games, but also from the battle of wits and courage between the two coaches off the field.

The positive effects of Morata and Moses' appearances were obvious, especially Morata, whose mobility caused a lot of trouble for Van Dijk and Joe Gomez, giving Hazard the opportunity to join the attack.

Three minutes later, in the 66th minute of the game, Liverpool made the first substitution of the game, with 'Swiss Messi' Shaqiri replacing Salah. This substitution was very surprising.

Almost everyone thought that Klopp would replace offensive players with defensive players, but the result was an adjustment on the offensive end. Shaqiri, who came on as a substitute, did not appear as a right winger, but... an offensive forward, and the one who appeared in the winger position was... Li Qing!

Li Qing came to the familiar right winger position, and the pressure felt by Chelsea's defensive players was obviously increased. Li Qing's front midfielder position itself had multiple players in the position, and it was different when he came to the winger position. The same defensive base came to defend the left side, which would inevitably cause Chelsea's central and right defenses to be tight, and might even expose huge hidden dangers.

But there was no better way for Sarri. What the team needed now was a goal.

In the 70th minute, Chelsea switched from defense to offense. The defensive players were worried that Li Qing would bring a huge threat when he took the ball and counterattacked. The forward assist range was very limited. It was difficult to create fatal offensive opportunities with fewer players and knowing each other's technical characteristics.

"Klopp's adjustment this time was overwhelming!"

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, gave an evaluation.

Li Qing, who came to the familiar right side, gradually showed his best personal state on the offensive end. Breakthroughs and passes could cause bursts of exclamations of lingering fear over the Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea also paid two yellow cards for this. What made Liverpool fans in front of the TV depressed was that Li Qing's direct free kick failed to score again, otherwise he could have created a miracle in the world of football!

Manchester City coach Guardiola, who was sitting in the audience, felt desperate. His team will visit Anfield in the next round. Liverpool can lead Chelsea 3:1 under the leadership of Li Qing in a passive situation at Stamford Bridge, which is enough to explain many problems. Although Li Qing did not perform a free kick, his state is really nothing to say.

Five minutes later, Chelsea made the last adjustment. Barkley, who transferred from Everton, replaced Kovacic to strengthen the offense.

Compared with Kovacic, Barkley has stronger speed, physical strength and scoring ability, and is more familiar with Liverpool.

Originally, Sarri's adjustment was very targeted, but Barkley was more impetuous in defense and his tactical execution was not high enough. These two obvious defects were fully exposed when he defended Li Qing for the first time.

In the 79th minute, Li Qing made a series of passes with Henderson and Firmino and then suddenly cut inside to shake off Kante. Barkley, who was defending, was also shaken by Li Qing's realistic fake move. With a strong sense of responsibility, he forgot the coach Sarri's instructions and Jorginho behind him. He tripped Li Qing who had completed the breakthrough on the right side of the top of the penalty area.

"Beep~"

The referee Anthony Taylor blew his whistle, indicating that Barkley had committed a foul and showing a yellow card.

"Fark!"

Sarri said something and shook his hands angrily. Compared with Li Qing's previous two direct free kicks that did not hit the goal range, this position was obviously more dangerous.

Tianchao 5 commentator He Wei raised his voice eight degrees: "Ross Barkley's foul was too impetuous. He brought Liverpool a direct free kick in an excellent position!"

The fouled Barkley also realized that he had made a big mistake at this time, but he was helpless. Professional players are often like this. The football can pass, but people cannot.

Goalkeeper Kepa had the urge to curse, "Can't you be a little off the mark when you commit a foul?"

You gave me a direct free kick in such a good position, are you trying to trick me?

Liverpool fans in the audience and in front of the TV were excited and full of expectations.

Chelsea fans frowned and were worried.

It was a good thing that Li Qing created a record of four goals in a direct free kick, but their team will always be a background, and those Chelsea fans who have Kepa fans as a background are even more depressed...

If Chelsea becomes a background business card, then Kepa will be nailed to the wall of shame forever, so Kepa nervously arranged a six-man wall, sometimes asking his teammates to move to the right, and sometimes asking his teammates to move to the left, until the head coach Anthony Taylor reminded him that he reluctantly said that the wall was arranged properly.

Seeing that the Chelsea wall was set up, Li Qing bent down and picked up the football that had been placed, turned around a few times, and then lowered his head to kiss the football. His eyes gradually became sharp, like an eagle looking down at the earth.

He saw Kepa constantly adjusting in small steps through the wall, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he had the best plan in his mind.

In the past, the two direct free kicks were too focused on the perfect combination of angle and power, so they couldn't hit the goal. This time the position is better, which brings more psychological pressure to Chelsea players, so they can start from the psychological aspect.

"Beep~"

At this moment, Anthony Taylor blew his whistle.

All the fans at Stamford Bridge were concentrating and holding their breath to look at Li Qing who started to run up. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and goalkeeper Kepa swallowed his saliva.

Hazard, Jorginho, Kante and other Chelsea players were praying constantly, hoping that God could stop Li Qing.

The six Chelsea players who acted as a human wall looked at Li Qing swinging his left foot, and they all subconsciously jumped on the spot, and goalkeeper Keita looked up intently.

Damn it!

He was so nervous that he saw the football rolling quickly from the bottom of the wall to the far end of the goal. His pupils shrank suddenly and he was stunned for half a second. It was too late to react...

The football hit the snow-white net in the lower left corner of the goal. The air in Stamford Bridge seemed to be completely frozen at this moment, and no sound was made. He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, reacted very quickly and was ecstatic: "The ball is in! The ball is in! Li Qing created a miracle in the 81st minute of the game! The first player in the world to score four goals from a free kick! Incredible performance!"
