Chapter 259 A proud Kane and Son Heung-min
Li Qing was knocked to the ground again by Vertonghen, who was defending. He raised his brows unnaturally, looking very angry. Vertonghen was keenly aware of Li Qing's anger. He covered his mouth and threatened: "Don't think It's great if you can score goals. In front of me, no matter how powerful you are, you have to stay calm, otherwise be careful with your legs!"
I thought Li Qing would endure the humiliation and bear the burden, but Li Qing grinned unexpectedly and sneered disdainfully: "You can only commit fouls and show off your words. Are you capable of going one-on-one with me? I won't knock you to the ground." My last name is Vertonghen!”
After that, he didn't give Vertonghen a chance to speak again, or said he didn't want to listen to Vertonghen's nonsense and went directly to the frontcourt.
Vertonghen looked at Li Qing's back and felt a very aggrieved feeling in his heart.
Can you have some quality?
MMP!
Will you die if you hear me say a few harsh words?
The conversation between Vertonghen and Li Qing was keenly captured by the on-site director. Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "Li Qing did not seem to lose his fighting spirit due to Vertonghen's consecutive fouls. On the contrary, he seemed to still have the upper hand in the verbal exchange. What an incredible young man.”
The visiting team coach Klopp stood excitedly next to the fourth official and scolded many Tottenham players for fouling Li Qing. The fourth official was also helpless. It was Atkinson who made the judgment and he had nothing to do with him. , but he had to explain to Klopp what his responsibilities were.
After the explanation was over, Arnold also took a direct free kick near the center circle. Van Dijk, who was ambushing in the penalty area, beat Alderweireld to complete the header. However, due to interference from the opponent, Van Dijk did not control the power of heading the ball. Well, the football is easily held in the arms of French goalkeeper Lloris.
Tottenham switched from defense to offense, and the Tottenham fans in the audience created a fanatical atmosphere and supported the Tottenham players who organized the offense.
Liverpool players Li Qing, Firmino and Salah immediately pressed high, which increased the chance of mistakes by Tottenham's ball-holding players in the midfield and backcourt. However, Tottenham's players' footwork is pretty good and they don't like to show off like Pogba. Their foot skills and their tactical execution are very high, and they almost always hit the ball with one kick.
After turning back several times and failing to grab the ball, the Liverpool players filed back into their own half.
In the eighth minute, the football came to Sun Xingmin's feet. Facing Li Qing and Arnold who was covering the defense, he had no confidence, so he had to hand the ball to Eriksson who was responding.
Eriksen has a strong ability to read the game and grasps the timing of passing the ball well. He directly makes a long pass to the left rib of the attack and finds Trippier on the right who is participating in the attack.
The Liverpool defender slowly tilted from the defensive right to the left. Trippier, who received the pass, spotted Harry Kane's opportunity to advance and suddenly passed the ball behind him. Van Dijk raised his hand to signal that Harry Kane was offside, but The assistant referee did not raise the flag, which means that Harry Kane, who was chasing the pass, was not offside!
It was too late for Joe Gomez to stretch out his hand. Harry Kane, who was stuck in his position in advance, entered the penalty area. Facing the attacking Mignolet, he chose to shoot with his left foot. The football flew over the hands of Mignolet who took off. , falling towards the unguarded empty door.
"Goooooooooooooal——"
Sky commentator Andy Gray's trademark drawl rang out from the live studio at the new Wembley Stadium.
Harry Kane was very excited after scoring the goal. He opened his arms and ran all the way. When he ran in front of the camera, he raised his arms and shouted, venting the huge pressure caused by the goal.
Klopp obviously thought Harry Kane was offside, and he complained excitedly next to the fourth official, but through slow-motion replay, Trippier and Harry Kane connected just right, and it was Alexander-Arnold at the far end who dragged him in. At the very back.
The new Wembley Stadium has a huge LCD screen. Klopp also saw through the broadcast that Harry Kane was not offside, so he returned to the coaching bench depressed.
Pochettino, standing in the home team coach's command area, raised his arms and shouted excitedly, and then discussed with his assistants whether tactical adjustments should be made in the next game.
The replay of the entire goal process ended, and the on-site director showed the screen to Harry Kane who scored the ice-breaking goal, but the camera quickly switched to show Li Qing.
This picture is very interesting. Harry Kane, who ranks third in the league's scorer list, scored the first goal. Should Li Qing, who ranks first in the Premier League scorer list this season, respond?
The Liverpool fans sitting in front of the TV are full of confidence. They believe that Li Qing has never disappointed in the strong dialogue. This is still the case in this game. Tottenham just scored first, and it is not the end of the game.
19 goals in 8 league rounds, do you think it’s just a joke?
But before Li Qing could find a chance, Tottenham quickly expanded the score through a very efficient counterattack.
In the twelfth minute, Lloris vigorously threw the ball to instigate an attack. Joe Gomez took the top of the arc in the middle circle. Harry Kane came in at high speed on the right side of the attack and drove the ball straight in. Facing Van Dijk's defense, he passed the ball with his right foot. A pass passed with a relatively large amount of advance, and the football quickly rolled towards the penalty spot against the grass.
Son Heung-min, who followed up at high speed from the middle, used his full power to get rid of Arnold, who was not particularly fast. He extended his left foot at the penalty spot and completed a very accurate shot with the arch of his foot. The football changed its trajectory and ran forward without losing speed. The near corner of the goal is beyond the reach of goalkeeper Mignolet...
The score on the scoreboard changed from 1:0 to 2:0. Liverpool coach Klopp, who was standing in the visiting team coach's command area, was stunned. His team fell behind by two goals in the 12th minute of the game...
It's incredible!
This kind of situation seems to have not happened for a long time!
Son Heung-min, who helped the home team score the goal to expand the score, was in high spirits. He opened his arms and ran to the right corner kick area of the attack. He chose to slide and kneel to celebrate this spectacular counterattack goal.
Harry Kane, who made the assist, slid and kneeled in front of Son Heung-min. The two hugged each other vigorously. They tacitly felt a sense of pride in their hearts, venting the emotional outburst brought by the goal.
Head coach Pochettino even half-knelt on the ground and roared to the sky!
Although there are still more than 70 minutes left in this game, he is confident that he can lead his team to defeat the defending champion Liverpool at the new Wembley Stadium!
Li Qing, who was originally calm, twitched his mouth slightly. Obviously, he did not expect the team to lose two goals in just a few minutes.
Van Dijk, who has been performing well since joining Liverpool, was very depressed. The first goal was lost because Arnold was dragged behind and failed to create offside. The second goal was lost because his partner Joe Gomez headed the ball, which brought a lot of subsequent problems...
Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said with undiminished momentum: "Tottenham's counterattack efficiency is too high. Two passes reached the Liverpool penalty area. The cooperation between Son Heung-min and Harry Kane is very entertaining. Liverpool was taught a lesson by Pochettino's Tottenham in the field of counterattacks, which they are good at."
