Chapter 65 Fried Meatballs
The game fell into a stalemate, and the fanatical atmosphere created by Liverpool fans in the stands declined significantly over time. In the 70th minute of the game, only the diehard fans in the KOP stand were still making noises.
Some fans in the main stand and the Centennial Stand even chose to leave early to express their dissatisfaction with the team.
As Coutinho fired a long shot after cutting in from the left rib, the referee Ming Atkinson blew the whistle in his mouth, turned around and pointed his finger at the sidelines, and the first assistant referee raised the flag with both hands above his head.
Fans who understand the rules of football games know that this is a substitution adjustment on the sidelines.
The fans in the audience noticed Li Qing wearing the No. 28 jersey. The fourth official standing next to him held up the electronic substitution card, with the green number showing '55' and the red number showing '53'.
Ejaria saw that the number of the player who was replaced was his, shook his head, and ran to the sidelines.
Although most fans in the audience didn't know who the player No. 55 was, they could guess from the oversized number that the substitute player was likely to be from the youth team.
Andy Gray, the commentator of Sky TV in Great Britain, raised his voice by eight degrees: "At 15 years and 348 days old, Lee set the record for the youngest appearance in the FA Cup! Now he has surpassed former Liverpool player Jerome Sinclair to become the second youngest appearance in England's top competition. In front of him is former Leicester City player Ashley Chambers, who set the youngest appearance in the League Cup in 2005 when he was only 15 years and 203 days old..."
"Come on!"
Ejaria clapped his hands.
At the same time, Li Qing heard the familiar system prompt sound: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for participating in England's top competition for the first time, and the reward is a random item [Immune to Serious Injury]."
Many fans in the audience were dissatisfied with Klopp's adjustment, but when they thought that the young player who appeared was from Kirkby Youth Training Academy, the prepared boos turned into cheers.
"papapapapa——"
The Liverpool fans at Anfield did not hesitate to applaud, including those disappointed home fans who did not leave. They clapped their hands, and thunderous applause quickly swept the entire stadium, creating a long-lost home atmosphere.
Li Qing, who had just stepped into the stadium with his left foot, was still surprised by the system's reward. The blood in his body suddenly flowed faster. Feeling the fanatical atmosphere coming towards him, he naturally clenched his fists, looked at the opponent's goal, and said in a voice that only he could hear clearly: "I will definitely not let the fans in the audience down!"
Of course, he did not forget the instructions of head coach Klopp before he came on the field, and took the initiative to run to Coutinho to explain the tactical position and changes in responsibilities.
Coutinho returned to the midfield from the original left winger to connect and organize the frontcourt attack. Firmino was in the middle, Origi was on the left, and Li Qing was the right winger.
Wolves goalkeeper Bergin was very slow in taking the goal kick. It seemed like a short pass, but he signaled his teammates to run forward halfway through the run, indicating that he was going to kick the ball with a big kick. The Liverpool fans in the audience subconsciously burst into a huge boo, sending it to the Wolves goalkeeper who delayed the game time.
Bergin was unmoved, retreated to the end line as if nothing had happened, raised his right hand, signaled his teammates in front to get ready, but he took two steps and stopped suddenly on the spot, which made people feel that the steps were wrong.
"wuwuwuwwuuuuu——"
Accompanied by the huge boos made by Liverpool fans, the referee Artykinson on duty couldn't help it. He took out a yellow card from his chest pocket and showed it to Bergin.
"It's too obvious to delay the game time."
Leshi Sports commentator Zhan Jun shook his head.
Li Qing, who came to the right side of the attack, looked at the opponent's goalkeeper Bergin with contempt. If this little trick can help the team keep the score, then what is the extra game time used for?
Bergin, who received a yellow card, did not dare to delay the game time any longer, and he kicked the ball directly out of the goal.
Wijnaldum jumped high in the center circle, overpowered Edwards to complete the header, and the ball was caught by Coutinho, and Liverpool reorganized the attack.
After a few passes in the middle, the ball came to the feet of Li Qing who was attacking on the right. Wolves defender Doherty, who was defending on the left, looked at the young-looking Li Qing in front of him with contempt on his face.
In general, defensive players will lower their body center of gravity. Doherty really underestimated Li Qing, thinking that he was the same as Stuart and Ejaria who were replaced before.
Unexpectedly, Li Qing suddenly moved the ball diagonally to the left front with the outside of his left foot, accelerating from the ribs.
Doherty suddenly realized something, but his body reaction could not keep up with his consciousness, and he could only watch Li Qing pass by like a flash of lightning.
Midfielder Evans cursed Doherty in his heart, and fell to the ground without hesitation to make a tackle, even if he couldn't keep the ball in place, he had to keep Li Qing here.
After several seasons of playing in the English Championship, he knew that he had to be clean and neat at the critical moment!
But... Li Qing used the inner side of his left foot to dunk the ball at this moment, and then pushed the ball forward with the arch of his right foot.
"Fried meatballs!"
Leshi Sports commentator Zhan Jun blurted out.
Li Qing stopped and changed direction in advance to avoid Evans' aggressive sliding tackle, and rushed to the penalty area from the right rib of the attack with the ball.
"aoaoaoaoaoaoao——"
Li Qing's sudden acceleration and stop and change direction instantly ignited the fanatical atmosphere of Anfield Stadium, like a volcanic eruption, which was out of control.
