Chapter 112 Changing people is like changing a knife

Xhaka was very confident in his collision. Even a strong man like Giroud would be knocked forward a few steps. Unexpectedly, Li Qing was not knocked out of the sideline by the ball. He was greatly surprised.

Klopp, who was in the home team's coaching bench, was standing near Xhaka's violation of Li Qing, and could see the action clearly.

Originally, he was ready to complain loudly about Xhaka's rude collision, but Li Qing staggered two steps without falling to the ground, and his attention returned to Li Qing who was in control of the ball.

Wenger felt a little lucky that Xhaka's collision was obviously aimed at Li Qing. According to the rules of football, this would result in a yellow card.

Fortunately, Li Qing did not suffer to the end, otherwise the yellow card would not have escaped. Looking at Li Qing, he showed a smile that rarely appeared in this game: "You are still too young."

At this moment, Li Qing, facing the right sideline of the attack, knocked the football back with his right heel. The football flew under Xhaka's right ribs, who was thinking about life, and accurately found Coutinho.

The football came to the attacking right flank where there was much more space. Xhaka no longer thought about life and turned around to pounce on Coutinho who was receiving the ball.

Coutinho, who has wide vision and strong ability to read the game, did not control the ball. He passed the ball directly to Wijnaldum in the middle, who in turn gave it to Milner who was pulled to the left.

Make good use of the width of the court!

Li Qing came on as a substitute and attracted many Arsenal defensive players. As a result, Milner, who received the ball on the left, lacked Arsenal players to defend. According to the tactics explained by head coach Wenger before the game, right back Bellerin had to fight with left back Mongolia. Real changed positions, but the football came to the defensive right, and Bellerin, who came to the center, had to return to the right.

Milner brought the ball to the 30-meter offensive area before slowing down. Facing the extremely fast Bellerin, he chose to hand the ball to Emre Can in the middle.

Arsenal's defender on the left automatically moved to the middle, and Li Qing ran forward along the right without being marked.

After several passes, Mane came to the left and passed Bellerin to complete a pass. Mustafi beat Firmino to complete the header to clear the ball. The football flew towards the penalty area line. Coquelin was in place and fell back. Heading the ball, the football flew thirty meters away from the goal.

Wijnaldum saw the football coming and directly used the inside arch of his left foot to pass the ball to Li Qing, who was unmarked on the right.

"Leeeeeeeeeee——"

The Liverpool fans at Anfield subconsciously raised their voices to cheer for their new favorite.

The Arsenal defensive players' hearts trembled. They all thought of the highlights of Li Qing's game they saw before the game. Monreal and Xhaka quickly stepped forward to defend.

When head coach Wenger saw the football flying towards Li Qing, he naturally clenched his hands, obviously a little nervous.

From what he could see, Li Qing was unmarked.

Monreal and Xhaka were pulled out to defend again, which was tantamount to improvising, and the distance between the two of them was different from Li Qing, which meant that Li Qing might be able to defeat them one by one in this situation.

Li Qing used the outside instep of his left foot to move the football passed by Wijnaldum to his ribs, and took the initiative to dribble the ball towards Monreal.

Monreal is experienced in defense and he knows what to do in this situation.

Facing Li Qing dribbling the ball forward, he chose to fight and retreat while focusing on the right side of his body, which was Li Qing's inward route.

According to what I learned before the game, Li Qing is left-handed and it is impossible to hit the bottom line when attacking on the right.

At this moment, Li Qing's right shoulder sank. Monreal's heart moved, and his body subconsciously wanted to rush to the baseline. However, in a flash of lightning, he remembered that Li Qing was left-handed and rarely walked the baseline, so he was more willing to think that it was Li Qing. A feint to change the center of gravity.

The next moment, Li Qing smashed the ball toward the baseline with the inside of the instep of his left foot. Monreal realized something but could only watch the ball and sigh.

The explosive power is too strong!

Xhaka wanted to guard Li Qing's inward cut with Monreal, but Li Qing chose to break through to the bottom line. He had to turn a corner and pounce on Li Qing who dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the outside.

Center defender Mustafi quickly filled the defensive gap left by Monreal, and the Arsenal players in the penalty area suddenly became nervous.

The Liverpool players inside and outside the penalty area were like wild horses, breaking into pieces and looking for openings.

Li Qing, who entered the penalty area, looked up and then raised his left foot.

Xhaka, who reached the penalty area at high speed, almost didn't think about it. His body reacted subconsciously and moved his left foot forward in an attempt to block Li Qing's pass.

But Li Qing didn't pass the ball. He quickly put down his left foot, pushed the ball outward with the instep of his outside foot, and opened the distance between him and Xhaka. Then he made a light move laterally to the middle of the penalty area, took a step forward with his right foot, and swung it again. Lift your left foot.

"Oh-My-God!" Sky commentator Andy Gray exclaimed: "Should I say Granit Xhaka was too reckless, or was Lee's feint too realistic? Beautiful! Shot?"

Compared with the angle that shakes Xhaka away, this angle is now more suitable for shooting.

Mustafi did not dare to neglect the defense. His good sense of position allowed him to stand one meter away from Li Qing, with his hands behind his back, trying to use his body to block Li Qing's shooting angle as much as possible.

Goalkeeper Cech obviously realized that Li Qing had a shooting angle. He concentrated on holding his breath, lowered his center of gravity, and stared at the football.

Wenger, who was standing in the visiting team coach's command area, was disappointed with Mustafi's defensive actions. Even from such a distance, he could tell that Li Qing was making a fake move. How could Mustafi be so stunned?

Li Qing's actions were just as Wenger predicted. He was accustomed to fake shots and dunk the ball with the inside of the instep of his left foot towards the right side of the small penalty area and the direction of the baseline.

"Shoot—"

Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai changed the subject: "Another fake shot and a real dunk! Li Qing passed Mustafi and faced goalkeeper Petr Cech directly. What will he do?"

Suddenly, the Arsenal players in the penalty area became extremely nervous.

Li Qing, who caught up with the football, did not shoot. His right foot was his non-dominant foot, so he used the arch of his right foot to quickly sweep the football towards the center of the penalty area.

The football moved quickly against the grass towards the center of the small penalty area. Firmino, who had reached the front point in advance, pushed the arch of his right foot before Koscielny blocked it.

The football changed its trajectory and quickly rolled towards the near corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Petr Cech failed to react to such a close shot and could only watch the football enter the net along the inner edge of the right goal post...

"The ball is in!"

LeTV sports commentator Zhan Jun was ecstatic: "Firmino scored his second goal of the game! Now the score is 3:1! Liverpool is leading by two goals again!"

Firmino was very excited after scoring. He turned and ran towards Li Qing, and the two hugged to celebrate the goal.

"Klopp's substitution once again demonstrated to fans around the world what substitution is like changing a knife! Li Qing, who came on as a substitute, assisted Firmino to score in the first attack!"

At this point, James changed the subject: "But for Liverpool fans, this goal is both expected and unexpected."
