Chapter 102 Three goals behind, so what?

As soon as the first half ended, the on-site director gave the home and away team coaches a close-up shot of their faces respectively. Shakespeare was obviously a little proud, with a smile on his face. As a firefighting coach, his team's performance in the first half was perfect.

Klopp, who then appeared on the broadcast screen, had an ugly expression and kept a straight face until he entered the player tunnel.

Li Qing was somewhat depressed when he didn't receive a call from head coach Klopp, but he was confident in himself. Judging from his past performance and the positive changes brought about by coming off the bench, it was impossible for head coach Klopp to ignore him.

Chelsea, who played the first game, had defeated Swansea 3:1. If the team fails to score points on the road, the point difference between them will be widened again.

With one less round in the league, the points difference has widened, which almost means that the league champion is likely to be Chelsea!

Lux Sports commentator Zhan Jun talked about his concerns in the live broadcast room: "Liverpool's bad habit of not being focused enough in the first half has appeared again. I don't know if it will change in the second half. I think the fans and viewers hope that Li Qing can The substitute came on to turn the tide, but don’t forget... the past reverse games were all at Anfield, and this league game at the King Power Stadium may be a little different from the past reverse games..."

Li Qing, who was warming up at the King Power Stadium, didn't think so. He sat on the sidelines and watched clearly. Both goals conceded were accidental and completely avoidable.

It's just that Liverpool's current defensive players are used to being easily distracted, especially when they are winning consecutively, their vigilance is reduced to the minimum.

If the team can stay focused in the second half, Li Qing has a way to lead the team to victory.

Compared to the problems exposed by Liverpool's defense, Leicester City has bigger problems.

However, Li Qing has little confidence in Liverpool's defense. As a time traveler, he knows why Liverpool entered the Champions League finals in the 2017-2018 season and the 2018-2019 season. It was entirely the positive effect brought about by the joining of powerful central defender Van Dijk to the team.

Except for Matip who is more reliable, Klavan and Lovren are not reusable, and Gomez is too young, otherwise Klopp will not use the central defender combination of Matip + Lucas in this game.

However, Li Qing believes that Shakespeare, who has just taken over, will definitely ensure victory in order to reverse the team's recent decline. At that time, strengthening defense will definitely be a priority.

As long as the focus is changed to defense, there will be plenty of opportunities.

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly. Players from both sides came to the court one after another. The fourth official stood leisurely on the sidelines. It was obvious that neither side of the game had any intention of making substitutions.

The on-site director was a bit embarrassed and gave Li Qing, who was sitting on the bench, a broadcast screen.

Looking at Li Qing in adversity is a popular saying among Liverpool fans recently.

The fans sitting in front of the TV began to look forward to Li Qing's appearance.

In the blink of an eye, five minutes had passed in the second half of the game, and the scoreboard still showed 2:0. Klopp in front of the visiting team's coaching bench became even more anxious.

It's not like he hasn't thought about replacing Li Qing, but if he replaces Li Qing every time the team falls behind, doesn't that mean he's placing all his bets on Li Qing?

It's okay to say that Li Qing scored a goal, but if his performance was average, wouldn't he be sprayed to death by media reporters who have no bottom line?

He... is only sixteen years old!

Two minutes into the game, Klopp made a decision on the advice of Buvac. He turned to the bench and said: "Lee, come back in five minutes."

"receive!"

Always prepared, Li Qing quickly took off his warm jacket and went to the warm-up area.

"wuwuwuwuuuu——"

The King Power Stadium is not an Anfield stadium. When Li Qing ran over confidently, the Leicester City fans in the audience made huge boos and gave Li Qing,

There were even many extreme Leicester City fans who gave the middle finger, cursed and made personal attacks.

At this time, no one regarded him as a sixteen-year-old boy at all.

Li Qing kept the ugly faces of the home fans in the main stand in his mind. This was the first time he traveled with the team since the beginning of his career. Although he had been mentally prepared before the game, it was only when he actually faced it that he realized that his preparations were just that. It's a drop in the bucket.

He is very serious about jogging, sprinting, turning back and stretching, in order to show his best condition in the next game and let the home fans know what despair is!

However, at this moment, there was a deafening roar from the stadium. Li Qing, who was doing stretching movements, looked up at the stadium and saw Leicester City left back Fuchs raising his left foot to cross. Lala Na threw his whole body and jumped up to block the cross. Li Qing, who is good at fake moves, could tell at a glance that Fuchs was feinting.

as expected!

Fuchs raised his left foot and didn't make a pass. Instead, he quickly kicked it back and completed the pass with his right foot.

The football is fast and flat. Vardy, who has already contributed a goal in this game, pinned Lucas, who is only 1.7 meters tall, in front of the small penalty area to complete the header.

Goalkeeper Mignolet failed to react in time and could only declare that it was beyond his reach.

No one expected that Leicester City, currently ranked fourth from the bottom in the league, would rebound quickly after changing its head coach, leading the league's second-placed Liverpool 3-0 at home.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's iconic elongated voice sounded, and then the topic changed: "Liverpool is going to be in trouble. Sixty minutes into the game, the third goal, which almost means sealing the victory!"

Shakespeare in front of the home team's coaching bench was very excited!

If Liverpool is defeated by three goals at home, the team's morale will definitely be boosted, and the chances of completing relegation will skyrocket. It is even possible to rebound with all its strength in the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals and achieve a reversal and promotion at home!

Klopp looked very ugly in front of the visiting team's coaching bench and was shouting something. At this time, Li Qing jogged over and said in a deep voice: "Boss, I'm ready."

Klopp was furious in his heart, but he loved his disciple Li Qing from the bottom of his heart. His face became a little kinder. He reached out and patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said slowly: "Replace Adam. Don't feel any burden. You can show off your talents and decide whether to shoot or pass, remember! Come on, little guy!”

Li Qing was very moved. He knew that Klopp was protecting him, but he immediately made up his mind. Since he had chosen the path of professional football, he would continue on no matter how convinced he was.

So what if we're three goals behind?

Thirty minutes left?

Time is enough!
