Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 521 Why do you need to do it yourself to score a goal?

Liverpool is preparing for the first Champions League match of the new season. The whole team is in high spirits. Head coach Klopp nods frequently with satisfaction. As long as the players maintain a high hunger for glory, there will be no surprises in future games.

Lyon is no longer the Ligue 1 hegemon of the year, and there is nothing to be afraid of. However, for Klopp, the first round cannot be taken lightly. Everyone is a professional player, and the difference in ability is not very big. The overall strength of Lyon is quite different from that of Liverpool, but there is no Big enough to ignore the strength of the opponent's players.

Ndombele and Fekir are French internationals, and Depay is a Dutch international and a former Manchester United player. Their strength should not be underestimated.

Fekir was once a player that Liverpool desperately wanted to acquire in many summer transfer windows. Unfortunately, Lyon did not learn to learn well all day long and only wanted to open a black shop, and finally chose Fabinho and Naby Keita.

欧冠比赛日到来前，英伦半岛媒体的交代还是放在利物浦和李擎身上，猜测会不会超越凯尔特人在1915年11月到1917年4月创造的62轮联赛跨赛季不败。

There were countless celebrities, experts and fans who joined the discussion. Even Li Qing received questions. His answer was very simple, with only two words - it must be broken!
In the blink of an eye, the first match day of the 2018-2019 Champions League season has arrived, and the first round of Group C between Liverpool and Lyon at home is about to kick off.

The Anfield Stadium, which can accommodate 54000 fans, was packed with seats. As the Champions League theme song "Champions League" resounded throughout the stadium, players from both sides followed the Turkish referee Cakir from the player tunnel to the stadium. Liverpool fans in the KOP stands performed TIFO show.

The content is the animated version of Li Qing holding up the six championship trophies won in 2018. There is a set of letters on the lower edge, which roughly means: The new season sets sail, we want to defend the title!
The Champions League theme song is full of religious hymns, and it can easily make people feel passionate. When players from both sides came to Anfield, they felt the fanatic atmosphere rushing towards them. They were all eager to try, and they couldn't wait for the game to start immediately.

Lyon, a traditional giant in Ligue 1, did not come to Anfield to show weakness like most teams did. They took advantage of the kick-off to quickly organize a group of extremely threatening attacks.

Fekir and Depay cooperated continuously. In the end, Ndombele's direct pass was very accurate, just in line with Depay's forward route. If Alisson hadn't reacted quickly, Lyon would have probably scored first in the away game.

"wowoowowoowoooooo——"

With huge exclamations ringing in the sky above Anfield, Liverpool coach Klopp couldn't sit still. He rushed to the sidelines, bared his teeth, and roared at the players on the field.

I don’t know if Klopp’s encouragement worked. In the next game, Liverpool took control of the game. Li Qing, who served as the right winger, began to use his excellent foot skills to test the tenacity of Lyon’s left defense.

After two consecutive breakthrough attempts, it can be seen that Genesio was fully prepared for Li Qing's technical characteristics before the game, so that Li Qing could not find a good breakthrough rhythm.

However, the Liverpool fans in the audience did not panic at all. In addition to breakthroughs from the right, Li Qing was very accomplished in long-distance transfers and assists.

If Salah and Mane hadn't found their shooting touch yet, Liverpool would have opened the scoring in front of the home team fans.

Lyon lost its power in the opening three games and could only defend passively. The core midfielder Ndombele became a defensive midfielder and had no time to participate in the offense. As time went by, the defensive pressure increased. Coach Genesi Ao's frown became deeper and deeper, and he had some doubts about surviving the guest game.

"damn it!"

Li Qing, who came to the left, used the change in rhythm to win a long-range shot opportunity. The football he kicked was powerful and heavy, and the angle was also very tricky. Goalkeeper Anthony Lopez stretched his body to the extreme without touching the football. Genesio He closed his eyes in pain and cursed.

"Bang~"

Just hearing the muffled sound like the sound of nature resounded throughout the Anfield stadium, he felt like a spring breeze and was ecstatic!
However, his smile soon froze on his face. Li Qingyuan's shot hit the right goal post and bounced back. Salah was very alert and reacted quickly. He leaned forward with his upper body and kicked his feet before Denayer made a clearance. Kick off and complete an ornamental diving dive to the top.

Anthony Lopez hasn't gotten up yet, so the header that hits the goal will naturally not be an accident again. "aoaoaooaoooooooooo——"

The huge and violent shouts like a tsunami told all the fans in front of the TV that the goal was scored!

After scoring the goal, Salah skated and knelt to celebrate, but the Lyon players were unwilling to do so and complained to the assistant referee, saying that Salah was offside and the goal should be invalid.

The assistant referee was very firm in his judgment, and the Lyon players had no choice but to give up. The slow-motion replay given by the on-site director also verified Salah's innocence. He... was not offside!
"Liverpool opened the scoring in the 14th minute! Salah broke the ice, but I still have to say, if this goal had not been shot by Li Qing, Salah would have had no chance of being shot into the empty net."

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave: "I don't say 80% of the credit, but 60%."

Liverpool head coach Klopp felt like he had received a shot in the arm and was confident about the next game.

Genesio's mood was completely opposite to Klopp's. The game he saw at the new Wembley Stadium was completely different from this game, which meant that his past efforts were in vain.

That feeling... was very depressing.

In addition to Li Qing, Liverpool also has Salah and Mane!

It's just a little mediocre under Li Qing's super data. Without Li Qing's presence, Salah and Mane's data would definitely be superstar level.

The Lyon players are high-spirited and consciously strengthen their offense. Ndombele, who was originally mainly responsible for defense, also stepped up his offense. The head coach Genesio had a bad feeling, but he did not dampen the enthusiasm of the players. The team is now full of momentum. If we don't work hard at this time, when can we equalize the score?

The fanatical atmosphere at Anfield did not decrease because of Liverpool's passive defense. On the contrary, it erupted into even louder shouts, one wave after another.

"aoaooaoaooaoaoooooo——"

In the 27th minute, Depay's long shot after cutting inside from the left wing of the attack was interfered by Wijnaldum and lacked power. Alisson easily held the ball in his arms. He did not control the rhythm of the game, but took a step-up. He grabbed the football with his right hand and flicked it, and the football quickly flew towards Li Qing, whose right rib was only about fifteen meters away from the center line.

Mendy and Denayer pounced on Li Qing at the same time, and even the other central defender Marcelo was ready to defend. Li Qing, who had a wide field of vision, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and thought: "Why do you need to do it yourself to score a goal?"

With his back to the direction of attack, he actively retreated to meet the falling football. Without any adjustment, he naturally raised his left foot and hit the middle and upper part of the football that had dropped to knee height.

Ndombele, who was approaching at high speed, only heard a muffled sound of 'Boom'. Genesio, who was standing in the visiting team coach's command area, could clearly see the football flying from the right side of Liverpool's defense to the left side of the attack at an extremely fast speed. road.

Li Qing's non-stop pass is not blind, but extremely targeted. The fast running football is just in the direction of Mane running like a wild horse...

"Oh-My-God!"

Deutsche Sky commentator Marcel Leif exclaimed: "It was a beautiful pass."
