Chapter 94 Li Ma Connection

Spurs had no choice but to make a substitution when the offense was not improving. Harry Winks replaced the Korean international Son Heung-min who had done almost nothing in this game.

Son Heung-min was stunned when he saw the red number "7" on the electronic substitution board. It was Li Qing who was sharp-eyed. He kindly pushed Son Heung-min, pointed to the sidelines, and said in standard English with a smile: "Hey~ You are going to be replaced."

Li Qing smiled very naturally, like a little brother next door, very sunny, and people did not feel any anger.

Winks and Pochettino were also waving, and Son Heung-min was a little irritated, but he must follow the adjustments made by the head coach. Considering that the team was still behind in the score, he had to run to the sidelines and complete the substitution handover ceremony with Winks.

Pochettino's intention of replacing Winks was very obvious, which was to increase the depth of the midfield, compete with Liverpool in the midfield, and then use Winks's almost non-displaced performance to limit the counterattack player Li Qing.

Winks' performance during his time as a substitute did meet Pochettino's expectations, but as the game progressed, Li Qing also adapted to Winks's playing style.

Both of them are not strong enough, but they both have high football IQ, but Li Qing is fast and explosive, and can often use sudden starts to get rid of Winks and Tottenham defenders.

Li Qing was closely guarded by Tottenham defenders, which indirectly freed Mane and Firmino.

In the 67th minute of the game, Li Qing just received the ball on the right, and he was directly defended by at least two defenders, and Wanyama and Alderweireld were watching him on the ribs, which means that he personally attracted four defenders.

Faced with such a large-scale defensive situation, Li Qing smiled and passed the ball to right back Klein.

This scene happened to be captured by the on-site director. LeTV Sports will say that Zhan Jun smiled and said: "It seems that Pochettino is very afraid of Li Qing. He was defended by Ben Davies and Harry Winks as soon as he received the ball. Through the live TV screen, we can also clearly see Alderweireld and Wanyama defending behind him. This... is really unimaginable!"

From an angle that the fans in front of the TV can't see, Li Qing covered his mouth and said a few words to Mane. The two seemed to be staggered, as if nothing happened.

Pochettino, who had been focusing on Li Qing, frowned. He clearly saw that Li Qing seemed to have said something to Mane, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The uneasy heart gradually disappeared as time went by. After about five minutes, Li Qing, who was running sideways, hooked his hand towards Emre Can. The latter didn't know why, and subconsciously passed the ball. Winks and Ben Davies both had a conditioned reflex-tense.

Li Qing's mouth slightly raised, his vision was extremely broad, and his mind was like a bird's-eye view of the stadium, and it was a display of red and white positions that clearly distinguished the enemy and the enemy.

In the attack on the left rib, Mane was quietly running from the gap between Kyle Walker and Dale.

Alderweireld focused most of his attention on Li Qing while directing the defense, so that he could not see what was happening behind him.

Kyle Walker noticed Mane's advance, but at the same time he also saw Milner running along the left sideline, and he immediately remembered Li Qing's assist to Milner's goal.

In a flash, he chose to run back slowly, because this way he could clear the ball in the first place...

Of course, this clearance was for the transfer ball in the direction of attack.

Li Qing took the initiative to meet the football, and the Tottenham defense line was no less than a warning bell, and everyone was in high spirits.

Li Qing stood on the ground with his right foot, and kicked the inner side of his left foot towards the lower middle part of the football rolling on the ground.

The football flew into the air, flew from the right side of the attacking team across the middle of the court, and landed at the top of the penalty area.

Dale had already judged the landing point when he saw the ball coming from the air, but at this moment, a red figure suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and the big number '19' behind him told him who it was.

"Oops!"

Kyle Walker suddenly realized something, and his heart skipped a beat.

The live director switched the camera very timely, and Jin Xiangkai of New England Sports suddenly raised his voice several degrees: "Mane——"

"aoaoaoooooo——"

Accompanied by the huge cheers erupting from Anfield, Mane, who ran to the top of the penalty area, took advantage of the situation and led the ball into the penalty area with his chest.

Goalkeeper Lloris abandoned the goal and attacked. Because Mane handled the ball very reasonably in the first time, he was not panicked even when facing Lloris' attack. He even had time to look up and observe the shooting angle.

In a flash, Mane stopped the ball at his feet with the outside of his right foot, and then raised his right foot in front of the penalty spot to complete a very high-quality ground cut.

Lloris's body went down very quickly, but he rolled forward along the grass even faster...

Anfield was boiling instantly, with waves of cheers spreading from the KOP diehard fans' stand to the entire stadium.

Spurs fans in the Anfield Road stand felt like crying. Their team had not scored in many attacks, so how could Liverpool score after just a few simple attacks?

It's unscientific!

Mane, who scored the goal, did not celebrate the goal alone. He smiled and turned to face Li Qing, who made a wonderful assist.

No matter from which angle, if Li Qing had not informed him in advance and made an accurate pass, he might not have scored in this focus battle.

Since Li Qing made the assist, he should thank his teammate who is nine years younger than him.

Leshi Sports commentator Zhan Jun laughed and said, "This... is Liverpool's Li (pronounced Ni) Ma connection."

The score on the stadium scoreboard changed from 2:1 to 3:1.

There were more than 20 minutes left in the game. Tottenham coach Pochettino did not want to give up easily. Before the game started, he made adjustments to the lineup, and he changed two players in a row, which meant that all his three substitutions were used up at this time!

Dembele and Ali, who were almost invisible in this game, were replaced by Sissoko and Janssen respectively.

The adjustments were made, and whether the score could be equalized depends on the specific performance of the players on the field.

Unfortunately, the visiting Tottenham substitutes needed time to adapt to the rhythm of the game, but the morale-boosted Liverpool players did not give them this time, so the attacks were all anticlimactic and threatening.

The scoreboard showed 3:1 until the referee Oliver blew the whistle to end the game. When three long whistles sounded, the players on the field hugged Li Qing tacitly.

The on-site director keenly captured this scene, and Leshi Sports commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "Liverpool was able to turn defeat into victory at home, and the young boy who appeared in the picture should be credited with the main credit! If nothing unexpected happens, the best player of this game is likely to be Li Qing who contributed one goal and two assists."
