Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 99 Ways to Defend Li Qing

Li Qing is relatively speechless about the East Asian Derby reported by the media and the Sunland media. Regarding Okazaki Shinji who is dedicated but limited in strength, it is obvious that Son Heung-min, who has had competition before, is stronger, but even in this context, two people are still beaten. When I came out for comparison, Li Qing felt that it was a bit inferior...

It's not that he looks down on players from the Country of the Sun, but... Shinji Okazaki's strength is really average.

The media and fans are full of expectations for this game. Lex Sports, which has the exclusive live broadcast rights of the FA Cup, took the opportunity to make money and launched an event for fans to cheer for Li Qing.

Fans who want to watch Li Qing play have no choice but to spend money to buy virtual tickets to watch the FA Cup fifth round.

Who prevented China Channel 5 and other online TV stations from buying the secondary broadcasting rights?
Closer to home, Li Qing, who has always been eager to start the game, finally got the start in this fifth round of the FA Cup, which was a sure win, and Arnold and Harry Wilson from the U23 youth team also successfully entered the starting lineup.

Leicester City also sent out a substitute lineup. Core players like Vardy and Mahrez did not even appear in the game roster. Obviously... this is a selective abandonment.

Lineker, the commentator from the BBC, said solemnly: "It seems that Claudio Ranieri is really ready to give up the FA Cup."

Regarding Ranieri's strategic abandonment, Klopp had already known about it through Leicester City's 18-man roster. However, as an experienced professional coach, he knew that a lion should fight a rabbit with all his strength, even if he plays at home. Nor should we take it lightly.

Although many youth team players were fielded in this game, the central axis was the main player.

Mignolet, Matip, Wijnaldum and Firmino, plus Li Qing, who has been in extremely good form recently, are basically guaranteed to beat Leicester City at home as a substitute.

Shinji Okazaki, who had high hopes from the Sunland media and fans, started the game, but...he was destined to have a hard time getting a chance to perform, because Liverpool, playing at home, would definitely take the initiative in the game, and Leicester City could only defend passively.

Lex Sports commentator Zhan Jun looked at Li Qing in the broadcast and said with a smile: "This is the first time Li Qing has played on behalf of Liverpool as a main player. I think the fans in front of the TV will definitely want to know whether he will play in this game." Contributed goals, six goals and two assists in the last three games as a substitute, so... what about this game?"

Li Qing, who appeared in the starting lineup for the first time, was very excited. Standing in front of the "This is Anfield" plaque, he felt a strong sense of pride. He subconsciously clenched his fists and encouraged himself: "Come on! We must enter." ball!"

……

Anfield Stadium, for Li Qing, this stadium has undergone certain changes. His efficient goals and Kirkby Youth Academy status have won the support of more Liverpool fans.

In addition to posters, there are many banners and slogans.

As the team song "You'll Never Walk Alone" played, Li Qing, who was standing facing the main stand, suddenly felt like his blood was racing again, and he couldn't wait for the game to start right away.

About three minutes later, Liverpool's home game against Leicester City in the fifth round of the 2016-2017 English FA Cup officially started.

Leicester City, who had the advantage of kick-off, played very directly. Drinkwater, who got the ball, directly passed the long ball to the Suns international player Shinji Okazaki on the left, but he was unable to place the ball. The judgment was obviously not as good as Arnold's. The latter pushed the ball forward, and the football just fell to Li Qing, who was assisting in defense.

"Leeeeeeeeeee——"

The Liverpool fans in the audience subconsciously raised their voices and gave it to Li Qing who got the ball, obviously hoping to see another wonderful breakthrough performance.

Helpless, Leicester City defensive player Endidi made a decisive choice and tugged at Li Qing the moment he touched the ball. Li Qing, who was leaning back, spread his hands to express his helplessness. The referee Anthony Taylor obviously whistled, and the crowd in the audience The loud cheers created by Liverpool fans were instantly replaced by boos. Obviously, this is Liverpool fans' way of expressing their dissatisfaction with Ndidi.

In the subsequent game time, Li Qing was frequently fouled by Leicester City defenders, so much so that Liverpool head coach Klopp frequently complained to the fourth official.

The game time passed very quickly, and it came to half an hour in the blink of an eye. No one thought that the game that was considered one-sided before the game had not changed until now.

0:0
Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, the on-site director gave Li Qing a close-up shot of his face.

Li Qing, who appeared somewhere on the broadcast screen, frowned, making people feel a little confused.

Lux Sports commentator Zhan Jun frowned and said: "Leicester City's defensive tactics are very effective. Liverpool, with Li Qing as the main attack point, has become a little weak on the offensive end. Now...it depends on how Klopp handles the ball." The team tactics have been modified..."

In fact, Li Qing, who seemed to be targeted, was not completely suppressed. Leicester City's defensive players had already paid two yellow cards to defend Li Qing, and as the game went by, he slowly discovered that Leicester City's defensive end was exposed. some problems.

In the 34th minute, Li Qing, who was running, received a pass from Wijnaldum. Faced with the close defense, Endidi did not choose to pass the ball out. Instead, he passed the ball sideways to the middle and accelerated his feet. .

The young Endidi didn't think too much. He strictly followed the instructions given by head coach Ranieri before the game and stayed with Li Qing.

Endidi stuck to Li Qing like a piece of candy. However, at this moment, Li Qing suddenly stepped on the ball with his left foot and stopped on the spot. Endidi subconsciously braked on the spot. Li Qing, who had the initiative, used his super strength to stop. The explosive power started again on the spot, and Ndidi, who was very defensive, started following suit.

At the same time, Li Qing stepped forward with his right foot, quickly knocked the heel of his left foot toward the right back of the football, and made an emergency stop again. Endidi could no longer keep up with the rhythm if he tried to make an emergency stop again.

I saw Li Qing adjusting in small steps on the spot, and his body accelerated towards the position where Endidi was originally standing!
No one expected that Li Qing, who had been restricted for a long time, would suddenly pass Ndidi. The drinking man who was defending was half a beat late. Li Qing directly used the outside instep of his left foot to move the ball towards the middle of the court to accelerate, directly facing the entire team. A line of defense.

Firmino, Harry Wilson and Sturridge, who has returned from injury, move forward and take away three defenders.

It wasn't until the ball reached the top of the penalty area that central defender Huth realized the danger.

Li Qing was waiting for this opportunity. He flicked the outside of his right foot, and the football rolled against the ground towards Firmino who didn't know when to stop. The latter didn't stop the ball and directly stuffed it into the left rib of the penalty area.

Center defender Wagg looked at Li Qing, who was coming in at high speed, and then at the football that appeared within the defensive range. He fell to the ground to make a clearance in the flash of lightning, but Li Qing's kick was faster, and he flicked the toe of his left foot. He picked it up and jumped over Wag.

The broadcast screen switched, and the LeTV sports commentator shouted loudly: "Li Qing——"

With this shout, Li Qing looked up at goalkeeper Schmeichel's position, stepped forward with his right foot, stood on the right side of the football, raised his left foot, and quickly used the area between the arch of the foot and the instep to Kick to the middle of the football.

The football flew quickly against the grass to the far corner of the goal. Schmeichel's speed when he got off the ground was half a beat slower than the speed of the football running forward. The Liverpool fans from Anfield Stadium shouted hysterically: Leeeeeeeeeeee——

The score displayed on the scoreboard changed from 0:0 to 1:0.
