Chapter 129: Stealing counterattack, opening the scoring·Part 1
Liverpool and Manchester City are in direct competition. When the on-site DJ read the name of Liverpool's starting player, the sky above the Etihad Stadium erupted into huge boos in tacit agreement, sending it to the Liverpool players.
This is the treatment received in every away game, and Liverpool players are used to it.
When the on-site DJ read Li Qing's name, the boos from the Etihad Stadium increased greatly and were deafening.
Li Qing was speechless and said slyly: "The Lun family is just a minor, do you want to do this to me?"
The on-site director happened to show Li Qing the broadcast footage. Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai, who was sitting in the live broadcast room of the Etihad Stadium, laughed and said: "The Etihad Stadium seems not to be very friendly to Li Qing, and the boos are louder than other teammates. Much more, but...from another perspective, it is the fear of Li Qing among Manchester City fans. Who has made him score so many goals recently?"
Li Qing, who had a sinister heart, turned his grief and anger into a desire to score goals. He decided... to help the team win the game!
The DJ at the scene read Milner, who was wearing the captain's armband on his left arm, and a thunderous applause broke out over the Etihad Stadium, which surprised Li Qing.
But when I think about it, there is nothing surprising. From the time Milner moved to Manchester City in the summer of 2010 to his departure in the summer of 2015, he won two league championships, an FA Cup championship, a League Cup championship and a Community Shield for Manchester City. champion.
Milner worked conscientiously in Manchester City for five seasons, and the fans saw it in their eyes. His departure was not for a better future, but because Manchester City was unwilling to offer a generous contract extension to a 30-year-old veteran.
There is a classic saying in world football: it’s easy to get together, but it’s easy to part ways.
"Beep~"
With the whistle of the referee Michael Oliver, the last match of the 29th round of the 2016-2017 English Premier League between Manchester City and Liverpool was officially announced.
Aguero kicked the football placed at the kick-off point to Sterling. The on-site commentator Jin Xiangkai began to explain: "Manchester City, sitting at home, is wearing a traditional sky blue jersey and white shorts. From the left to the right of the broadcast screen Attack from the side, visiting Liverpool, wearing traditional red jerseys and red shorts, attack from the right side of the screen to the left..."
The weather in Great Britain is very unpredictable, and it often rains. Some people say that no visit to Great Britain is complete without seeing rain. This focus game at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester was a veritable rain war.
Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, and the players on both sides did not slip when running. Otherwise, the enjoyment of this focus battle, which was scheduled as the last game of this round, would be greatly reduced.
At the beginning of the game, Manchester City obviously learned from the experience of Liverpool's elimination of Manchester United, and their offensive choices were gradual.
Since Manchester City players have excellent foot skills, Liverpool's high-position pressing effect is not obvious. Klopp waved his hand and signaled the players to return to their own 40-meter area to defend.
The two wingers sent by Manchester City in this game, Sane and Sterling, are both very fast and have good foot skills. Leaving too many spaces behind them is not conducive to the team taking away three points on the road.
Li Qing's defensive task is the smallest in the Liverpool team. He only needs to hold his position during the team's defense.
Li Qing saw his teammates running without hesitation, but he knew his responsibility.
Two teams with the same offensive strength and weak strength, the competition is definitely not the defensive ability, but the offense!
Guardiola, who was standing in the coaching area of the home team, was wearing a large warm windbreaker, a hat on his bare head, and half of his face was tightly circled by a black scarf. He was used to the warm sunshine of Barcelona, Spain, and was obviously not used to the cold weather in England. Revealing two heavy big eyes.
He could easily see that the team was taking the initiative, but as the formation moved forward, the gaps exposed became larger and larger.
Li Qing's average of 2 goals and 0.5 assists per game in the past few games is like a thorn hanging in his throat, which is very uncomfortable.
Unless the team can score first, everything will be in vain.
Guardiola turned to look at the visiting team coach's command area. Klopp was wearing a heavy black hooded windbreaker, staring at the court with sharp eyes like an eagle, and the corners of his mouth raised from time to time, with an expression of a sure victory.
As time passed by, Guardiola's worries were gradually dispelled by his side's continuous attacks and shots.
Aguero, Sane, Sterling and De Bruyne all got shooting opportunities one after another. If it weren't for Mignolet's divine help, Manchester City coached by him would have opened up the situation.
The rain gradually became heavier and heavier, and the light rain turned into moderate rain. Li Qing, who was pretending to be on defense, felt a chill. His heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: "If I don't run more, I'm afraid it will happen." Became the first professional player to catch a cold due to too much rain on the court..."
Li Qing increased his running range, trying to warm up his cold body as much as possible to avoid straining his muscles when he sprinted later.
Two minutes later, the game reached the 16th minute of the first half. De Bruyne spotted Aguero and passed a powerful through ball while running. Central defender Klavan stretched out his kick at the critical moment. , he kicked the football into the center circle of the Liverpool half.
Center defender Stones passed the ball directly to Yaya Toure in front of him. David Silva, who was preparing to receive Yaya Toure's pass, saw a player wearing a Liverpool jersey in his peripheral vision and blurted out: "Yaya Ya, be careful!”
Yaya Toure has rich experience in the game. He is often used to looking left and right before catching the ball, so that he will not panic when the opponent catches the ball.
According to memory, Firmino stepped forward to interfere behind him, but David Silva suddenly reminded loudly that there was probably another Liverpool player from behind. In order to avoid mistakes, Yaya Toure turned his back to In an offensive situation, pass the ball to Otamendi who widens the receiving angle.
Li Qing, who was running at high speed, turned a corner and rushed towards the left center back Otamendi who was receiving the ball without losing speed.
Yaya Toure's pass was not very powerful, but the football had obvious acceleration when running on the water-filled grass. To be on the safe side, Otamendi chose to lift his foot and stop the football.
When he looked up again, his little heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Li Qing, who was more than five meters away from him just now, appeared in front of him!
The distance is no more than two meters!
Is it that fast?
Otamendi was obviously panicked. He quickly kicked the ball towards the right center back Stones with the arch of his left foot.
Li Qing, who was running at high speed, saw the opportunity and suddenly stretched out his left foot. Otamendi's hasty pass just happened to hit the toes of Li Qing's stretched left foot and was deflected towards the center circle of his own half.
"aoaoaoaooo——"
The air above the Etihad Stadium echoed with the screams of Manchester City fans.
