Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 517 The perfect center?
Firmino suffered an eye injury and was substituted. Liverpool fans were somewhat anxious. Although he did not score many goals, he played a very important role in the offensive and defensive system. From a tactical perspective, he was even better than Li Qing, Mane and Salah is even bigger, which is the fundamental reason why Klopp loves Firmino.

Of course, Firmino's tactical role can be replaced, including Mane and Salah, but Li Qing is irreplaceable.

Let me ask...who would dislike a superstar who can average two goals per game?
As both sides continue to make adjustments, the sideline becomes stalemate again. Substitute players need to adapt to the rhythm of the game again. In order to cater to the substitute players and adjust to the rhythm of the game, the team as a whole often chooses to lower the rhythm and cooperate with the substitute players to adapt to the rhythm of the game. to avoid fatal mistakes.

However, it is a good opportunity for Liverpool head coach Klopp. The forward line consisting of Mane, Firmino and Salah has almost been figured out, so he can try a new offensive trident.

Mane, Salah and Li Qing are all extremely fast players, especially Mane and Li Qing. Their speed can definitely rank among the top three in the Premier League. Except for Mane's footwork, which is a little rougher, Li Qing and Salah. Lage can definitely get closer and create an almost perfect situation through tacit cooperation and outstanding foot speed.

Klopp's eyes lit up when he thought of this, and his eyes became expectant.

After a while, the tactical tension seemed to be different from Klopp's imagination. Salah once again lost control of the football due to Alderweireld's collision. Tottenham switched from defense to offense. Fortunately, their own defensive system The position is very stable, otherwise Tottenham may pose a direct threat to Alisson's goalkeeping.

"There's something wrong with the tactics."

Klopp looked around the court, and his eyes slowly focused on Li Qing's face. He suddenly slapped his forehead and blurted out: "There is no problem with Li's height, and there is no problem with his body. He can definitely be used as a center when necessary, no matter what Whether he is a real center or a pseudo-center, he is completely capable of playing the role."

Mane fired an anti-aircraft cannon with a long shot. Taking advantage of the rare opportunity of a dead ball, Klopp waved to Li Qing, who was running back on the field.

Li Qing ran over without knowing why. After a while, he looked at head coach Klopp suspiciously: "Boss, do you really want me to play center?"

"No confidence?"

Klopp stared at Li Qing with a half-smile.

"how is this possible?"

Li Qing patted his chest and said: "The closer I am to the goal, the higher my scoring rate!"

"Come on! Our whole team is optimistic about you!"

"Wait for my good news!"

After that, Li Qing ran towards the field and made a tactical gesture with Mane, Salah and other teammates. Although everyone was confused, the tactics arranged by head coach Klopp must be implemented no matter what.

After all, whether it can bring about a chemical reaction is one thing, and whether it can be implemented is another matter.

Klopp looked at Li Qing who was walking away, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a confident smile that he thought was very good-looking. However, he didn't know that in the eyes of many fans, he felt a little shuddering.

Closer to home, the effect of Li Qing playing at the center position is obviously greater than that of Salah. His height and weight are not disadvantaged, plus he has unlimited firing rights, posing a huge threat to Tottenham's goal again and again.

Pochettino, who was in the command area of ​​the home team coach, frowned. He was obviously very surprised by Klopp's tactical adjustment. In his impression, didn't Li Qing perform best at the right wing position?

How come you are so good at the center position?
Then I thought about it, Li Qing is 1.86 meters tall, and his tonnage is not inferior to Alderweireld or Vertonghen. In addition, he can take long shots from any position inside and outside the penalty area, posing a direct threat. .

Li Qing's ball-playing ability is very strong, and his footwork and speed are among the best in the world. This... is simply a perfect center!
As time went by, Li Qing gradually adapted to the center position, and Tottenham's penalty area became a bit noisy, with dangers in front of the goal.

"Li Qing... is a complete all-around center!" China 5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave. Commentator Xu Yang laughed and said: "If it weren't for what was promised, Li Qing would probably be unable to play any other position except goalkeeper." Is it a problem? Center, closer to the goal, I believe Li Qing’s second goal of this game is coming..."

"Really?"

He Wei smiled meaningfully.

"Of course! I'm an avid Li Qing fan!"

The game passed quickly with He Wei and Xu Yang chatting. When the time came to 70 minutes, Pochettino was wondering whether to make the third adjustment of the game.

Li Qing's performance at the center position was very eye-catching. He was worried that the team would lose the ball again instead of narrowing the score.

After Sun Xingmin broke through, the ball he gave to Harry Kane was predicted by Van Dijk in advance. Liverpool switched from defense to offense. Li Qing, who was at the front, immediately became Tottenham's key defensive player.

Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Henderson had to turn the fast break opportunity into a positional attack.

Through continuous passes, the football was penetrated by Liverpool players into the offensive thirty-five-meter area, and Wijnaldum handed the football directly to Li Qing.

Li Qing leaned against Alderweireld, unhurriedly, and naturally extended his left arm to block Vertonghen who tried to step forward to steal the ball, and passed it directly to Salah without any fuss.

Seeing that there was little chance, Salah directly put Arnold, who was involved in the attack, on the right wing.

Arnold, who was running at high speed, passed the ball directly. Li Qing suddenly accelerated from behind Alderweireld and flashed in front of him. His talent [King of the penalty area] was fully revealed at this moment. Vertonghen did not touch the football while retreating. , the football missed.

"Fake!"

Alderweireld's heart thumped and he cursed secretly, but it was no longer possible to catch up with Li Qing. All he could do now was to hope that captain Loris could contribute as a servant, or... Li Qing made a mistake on his own initiative.

Arnold has practiced passing the ball many times in training, and is often pulled by Li Qing for additional practice. They cooperate perfectly with each other. This time the passing ball was of very high quality with almost no defensive pressure, bypassing Vertonghen. , flying towards Li Qing's forward insertion route.

"Oh-My-God!"

BBC commentator Lineker's voice rose an octave: "Lee leaps high, can he hit the football?"

"wowowoowowoooooooo——"

At the same time, the subconscious screams of Spurs fans rang out over the new Wembley Stadium.

Li Qing jumped high in front of the penalty spot, opened his arms naturally, maintained his body balance, twisted his waist and swung his abdomen without any interference, and pushed the falling football hard towards the lower left corner of the goal with his forehead.

Goalkeeper Lloris' pupils shrank suddenly. Looking at the fast-flying football, he realized that he was beyond his reach, so he didn't make any saves. He just stood there and watched the football as it moved...
