Chapter 538: Ruthless Killer

"No! No!"

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, raised his voice by eight octaves, shouting almost crazily: "The goalpost of the home court rejected the direct free kick that Li Qing was determined to get! What a pity."

The ball was rejected by the goalpost and bounced back. Mendy made a great contribution this time. He headed the ball out of the baseline before Mane made a supplementary shot. Mane kicked him because he couldn't stop his foot. The referee Michael Oliver had sharp eyes and was very observant. He blew the whistle in his mouth, indicating that Liverpool had committed an offensive foul and Manchester City had a free kick in the backcourt.

"wowowowowooooooooo——"

It was not until then that the exclamations of Liverpool fans rang out over Anfield Stadium, resounding through the sky.

Liverpool coach Klopp regretfully held the top of his hat with both hands, looking at the night sky of Anfield unwillingly, with a depressed face. He had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that the home goalpost would be betrayed...

"Damn it!"

Li Qing, who missed the goal, did not show how sad he was. For him, scoring is a common thing, and it is normal not to score. Even if he has a system, it is impossible for every shot to be converted into a goal. If this ball does not go in, there is still the next shot.

Manchester City coach Guardiola looked at Li Qing without any emotional fluctuations and felt a greater sense of uneasiness in his heart. Li Qing gave him the feeling of a ruthless killer, with a stable state and numerous goals. No one could complete targeted defense against him throughout the game.

After a brief regret, the mood of Liverpool fans quickly improved, and they burst into a huge and violent cheer like a tsunami, cheering for the Liverpool players on the field.

The visiting players of Manchester City played very anxiously, and they always felt that Liverpool would score first. In order to ensure that the team can retreat from Anfield, they must score first and then score more goals.

Croatian head coach Dalic sat in the Anfield audience, looking solemnly at Li Qing who was running around. The end of the league match between Liverpool and Manchester City at home was the international match day. At that time, the Croatian national team he coached would face the World Cup champion England. He thought that he could still use the home advantage to maintain a draw and win, but now it seems... very uncertain.

Liverpool's offense is indeed very dependent on Li Qing, but Li Qing is indeed worthy of reliance. He usually does not show his strength, but he can often turn the tide at critical moments.

As the game continued, the impatient Manchester City's offensive became more and more fierce, and the offensive was like a tide, which seemed to be the host. Klopp stood on the sidelines without a trace of nervousness, but Manchester City head coach Guardiola felt more and more uneasy.

Li Qing has not shown his face for a while. If it were ordinary fans and experts, they would think that it was the Manchester City defensive players who completed targeted defense against Li Qing and perfectly suppressed Li Qing, the world's number one football player today. Guardiola did not think so. Li Qing is very capable, and not outstanding is completely to prepare for the next outbreak.

Isn't this the case in many games that Manchester City lost in the past?

Li Qing is the kind of top player you can never guess. Temporary suppression does not mean that he will still be able to play in the future. This situation is like a squeezed spring. The more you press, the more force you will have to bounce back when you send it down.

Time in high-level competitions often passes very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the 40th minute of the game. The broadcaster gave the ball possession ratio of both sides. Manchester City led Liverpool 43% with 57%.

However, Manchester City did not convert the ball possession advantage into actual threats. Passing and receiving the ball were mainly safe horizontal passes and back passes. Oblique straight lines and threatening balls almost did not appear. The result was that Alisson was boring during this period, almost industrial.

Manchester City, who controlled the ball, still followed the past game strategy of controlling the ball. The Liverpool defense line, which had retreated to the 30-meter defense area, was positioned under Klopp's signal, putting more and more pressure on Manchester City's passing and controlling players.

Two minutes later, De Bruyne saw that there was no good passing opportunity, so he had to turn around and pass the ball to David Silva. He never expected that Li Qing, who had not been running and defending much, suddenly accelerated, like a cheetah that saw the touch of prey, and killed out.

De Bruyne had never thought that Li Qing would rush to grab the ball without any warning. The passing force was not particularly strong, and David Silva was just ready to receive the ball on the spot. Li Qing was world-famous for his explosive power and fast speed. Both of them had a "click" in their hearts at the same time, and they both realized something.

"aoaooaoaoooooooo——"

A deafening and huge shout suddenly rang out over the Anfield stadium.

Li Qing poked the ball forward while running diagonally, and the ball, which changed its direction, rolled towards the right rear of David Silva. Since Fernandinho was in a relatively forward position, it was too late for him to turn around and defend.

David Silva's physical function was severely reduced due to his aging. When he kicked someone, he only kicked a ball of air. Li Qing chased the ball like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Left center back Laporte had no extra time to think, and made a very fierce sliding tackle while running.

Only one person or the ball can be left!

However, Li Qing had strong explosive power and fast speed. Laporte's seemingly fierce defensive action did not touch the man and the ball. Li Qing took the ball away with his left foot one step ahead, and jumped over Laporte who was tripping.

"I didn't kick it!"

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave and he shouted ecstatically: "Li Qing rushed over, and only national team teammate Stones was left in front of him!"

At the same time, Stones was panicking. As a teammate of the England national team and an opponent in countless games in the past, he was well aware of Li Qing's technical characteristics and his one-on-one defensive success rate was infinitely close to zero.

"What should we do?" Stones' mind was racing: "Foul?"

Before he could think of how to defend, Li Qing had already reached two meters in front of him. Stones just subconsciously extended his left foot to trip him.

How could this level of defensive action be used to defend Li Qing?

Li Qing suddenly dunked the football forward to the right with the inside of the instep of his left foot. His whole body shot forward to the right like an arrow from a string. Neither Stones' right foot nor the football touched it.

"It's over!"

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun shouted hoarsely: "Only Edson is left in front of Li Qing!"

"Farke! Farke! Farke!"

Standing in the penalty area and stomping around, Ederson kept cursing in his mind. Coach Guardiola closed his eyes in pain, trying not to see but to clean.

Klopp and many Liverpool substitutes subconsciously took a few steps forward and looked at Li Qing, who was heading towards the penalty area.

Li Qing was extremely fast and reached the edge of the penalty area in a blink of an eye. Ederson roared to cheer himself up.

It's just that this approach is useless.

Li Qing's exaggerated shaking of his upper body aggravated the change of center of gravity and instantly knocked the helpless Ederson to the ground. He then turned the football in the opposite direction. Finally, like a ruthless killer, he lifted his foot and dropped the knife. The football rolled slowly towards the ground and no one was guarding it. The empty gate...
