Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 518 Pulling Onions on Dry Land
"Goooooooooooooooal——"

Sky commentator Andy Gray's trademark drawl echoed throughout the new Wembley Stadium.

"A cool header!"

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei shouted with excitement: "Two goals! What a wonderful performance! Li Qing is dominant on the right side of the attack and also has super dominance in the penalty area!! Liverpool is a guest 3 :0 ahead of Tottenham Hotspur!!”

BBC commentator and Li Qingjiao leader Lineker exclaimed ecstatically: "Incredible performance! Li's sense of smell in the penalty area is like a shark that smells blood, and he can keenly capture hard-won things. Opportunity! I personally suggest that Jurgen Klopp changes Li to the center position in future game tactics. I think...his goal numbers will be further improved!"

South Korea SBS Sports TV commentator Park Ke-ho said speechlessly: "Tottenham Hotspur's defense is really bad. How can Toby Alderweireld give Li Qing something in front of him in this position?" What about the chance? Don’t you know he is Liverpool’s number one killer? What a bad game!”

The broadcast screen showed South Korea's number one star Son Heung-min, and Park Ke-ho changed the topic: "No wonder Son Heung-min and Ouba can't help Tottenham equalize the score even after trying so hard. With such a bunch of pig teammates, how can it be possible to equalize the score? He can't help him!" I really can’t help it.”

Sun Xingmin, who received special attention from the on-site director, looked at Li Qing, who was surrounded by Liverpool players. His eyes were full of envy. He couldn't help but think about how great it would be if he could have half of Li Qing's scoring efficiency. ah……

Even if it’s not half, 1/4 will do!
Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

Before the game restarted, Tottenham made the last substitution adjustment of the game. Wanyama replaced Dier, who was struggling to defend and had a yellow card.

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun commented on this: "Tottenham must work hard on the offensive end if they want to equalize the score. Wanyama can certainly put huge pressure on the Liverpool midfielder defensively, but... the home team is three goals behind. You should consider whether you can score goals first, and secondly whether you will concede goals..."

Taking advantage of Tottenham's substitution adjustments, the on-site director once again showed the entire slow-motion replay of Li Qing's goal.

He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, looked at Li Qing who was alert and rushing for points, and said with emotion: "Li Qing, who entered the penalty area, was like a bomber. The moment he swooped down, he was greeted by the ball!"

"Beep~"

With the whistle of the referee Michael Oliver, the second half of the fifth round of the 2018-2019 Premier League season was restarted. Tottenham, who had the advantage of possessing the ball, obviously became impatient, and the attack no longer passed through the core of the midfield. Eriksen's guidance is mainly based on long passes and crosses from the side.

Harry Kane has excellent personal abilities, but he cannot withstand the defense of Joe Gomez and Van Dijk. There is no way to hit the football. Even if he can hit the ball, there is no way to pose a direct threat to Alisson's goal.

Son Heung-min, who was holding back a lot of energy, once again fell into a stubborn state. Whenever he had the opportunity, he chose long-range shots. The quality was good. However, Alisson was in excellent form and did not even give him a corner kick chance.

"aoaooaoaoaooooooo——"

Although Tottenham were three goals behind at home, the Tottenham fans in the audience were still in high spirits, erupting into waves of loud cheers. Obviously, they hoped that the players could continue their efforts and equalize the score.

In many cases, the support of fans is directly linked to the performance of players, and the direct consequences of Tottenham's offense are not all bad.

In the 77th minute, Trippier sent an exquisite pass from the right. Wanyama ran into the penalty area at some point and attracted Van Dijk’s defensive attention. Joe Gomez was defending the national team captain Harry. Kane was a little immature in the process and failed to take off at the critical moment. Harry Kane took advantage of this rhythm difference to leap high and head the cross from Trippier towards the lower left corner of the goal. Alisson was powerless in the face of such a close header and watched the football rush into the net.

"aoaooaoaooooooo——"

The fanatical atmosphere of the new Wembley Stadium exploded instantly, and the loud cheers that broke out were louder and louder. Those neutral fans seemed to feel a heat wave coming towards their faces, giving people a feeling of suffocation.

At the same time, Harry Kane, who scored, did not celebrate hysterically. He knew that there were still more than ten minutes left before the end of the game. Now he had pulled a goal back, and next... there were two more goals!
In the remaining game time, scoring two goals is enough!

The on-site director gave several wonderful shots of the goal from different angles and then switched the camera to show Liverpool No. 10 Li Qing.

The meaning of this picture is very obvious. Tottenham No. 10 Harry Kane scored. Should Liverpool No. 10 Li Qing respond?
Harry Kane learned smartly this time. He did not follow the example of many players and show off his power to Li Qingyao after scoring a goal. He went straight to the center circle with the football in his arms.

Tottenham narrowed the score. Pochettino and Klopp both came to their respective coaching areas to remind and motivate their players, especially Pochettino. There were still more than ten minutes left before the end of the game. An equalizer was enough. As long as the rhythm is good, it is possible to counterattack Abi.

Klopp is somewhat worried that the team will encounter a huge counterattack by Tottenham. Although the possibility of this is slim, it does not mean that it is not possible. Therefore, he must incite the excitement of the players on the field and increase running to make the decline in physical fitness more obvious. Tottenham players bring more pressure.

Except for Li Qing, all the Liverpool players on the field were complaining. The international match day had just ended. Players like Salah and Mane had traveled long distances back to their home countries to participate in warm-up matches. So were other Liverpool players who were champions of various events. The main players of their respective national teams are experiencing severe physical exertion, and their physical fitness is relatively tight with more than ten minutes left in the game.

However, head coach Klopp's tactical intentions still need to be implemented. The middle of next week is the Champions League match day. If the performance is not good, it may be possible to miss the first round of the 2018-2019 Champions League group stage.

Bite your teeth and keep doing it!
Tottenham players are eager to try, hoping that the game will restart quickly and score again.

Unexpectedly, what the home fans least wanted to see happened...

Joe Gomez directly passed the long ball after being tackled by Sun Heung-min. Li Qing, who ran forward, overwhelmed Alderweireld and Vertonghen and passed the ball to Salah in the second echelon of the offense.

Salah’s skill at his feet was second only to Li Qing’s in exquisiteness. Tottenham’s defensive players did not dare to neglect him. Li Qing, who rushed towards the penalty area at the moment Alexander-Arnold advanced, suddenly turned back. Salah did not hand the ball to the right rib of the attack. Arnold instead gave it to Li Qing at the top of the penalty area.

Alderweireld made up for it in time and did not give Li Qing a chance to turn around. Li Qing pulled the ball and turned around, facing the goal and standing at the top of the penalty area. He neither shot nor passed the ball. Laird was afraid that Li Qing would cooperate with the approaching Salah, so he didn't dare to get close and only kept a safe distance.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Mane to move forward, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Alderweireld lying across the line of the penalty area, about one and a half meters away from him. His eyes suddenly lit up, and his raised left foot did not give the ball to Mane who was moving forward. Instead of passing the ball, stand still and kick the football toward the upper left corner of the goal with the inside of your left foot.

Pull onions from dry land!
