Chapter 26 A bold idea
Li Qing, who scored the goal, was not as calm as before, because this was his first real career goal, even if it was only in the English Football Youth Super League.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. With the first goal, is the second one far behind?
Brewster sent a wonderful assist and became the target of Li Qing's hug. He smiled and pointed his hands directly at Brewster. The two palms met in perfect understanding, and then hugged his teammates who came to celebrate together.
After working hard for more than 80 minutes, I finally scored!
Glenn McCauley and Adekanye on the bench can be said to be the two most uncomfortable people, especially Glenn McCauley. Li Qing's goal came from replacing him...
He scored a goal as a substitute, which can be called a textbook substitute appearance.
Changing people is like changing knives!
Reporters, self-media reporters and spectators who came to the training ground of Kirkby Youth Academy kept pressing the shooting button in their hands in order to save this wonderful moment. Some of them had a bold idea in their minds - maybe in the near future In the future, he will shock the world!
Most of them started paying attention to the Liverpool U18 youth team before it started preparing for the National Youth Super League in the 2016-2017 season, but they have never seen this yellow-skinned player. It is impossible to recruit him from other teams before the season break. Come on, that is to say, this player was tapped internally and promoted from the U15-U16 echelon!
But no matter what, the ability Li Qing showed just now is amazing!
From the moment he gets the ball, every step is textbook-like, especially when it comes to catching and shooting without any extra movement.
A natural shooter!
This was the evaluation given to Li Qing by the few reporters present, and it was also the core subject of the report. As for whether Li Qing could be kicked out in the future, that was not what they considered.
Closer to home, Neil Critchley quickly called captain Masterson after excitedly celebrating the goal and explained how the next game should be played.
After being scored before the end, Middlesbrough U18 will definitely not give up!
Only by defending well in the final period can we win the game.
Of course, Neil Critchley didn't intend to defend until the end of the game. He also specifically told Li Qing that he didn't need to defend too hard in the rest of the game, he just had to show off!
Instead of finishing the rest of the game nervously, it would be better to take advantage of the Middlesbrough U18 players' eagerness to equalize the score and kill the game completely!
The game restarted with the referee's whistle. Li Qing followed the tactical requirements of head coach Neil Critchley and just pretended to be defensive, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.
Liverpool U18 ranks third in the North Division, and Middlesbrough U18 ranks eighth. There is a certain gap in strength between them. It is very difficult for Middlesbrough U18, which has been defending for more than 80 minutes, to suddenly organize an effective attack, especially in the third quarter. When all substitution quotas have been used up.
The two teams seemed to have changed their jerseys, switching offense and defense, but Liverpool U18's defensive pressure was not great.
In the first minute of stoppage time, Masterson made a big-footed clearance, and the football coincidentally flew towards his side to attack the right flank.
"Look! It's the 28th!"
The audience on the sidelines suddenly became excited!
I saw a red lightning flashing quickly along the right sideline, chasing the football landing point.
All the Middlesbrough U18 players passed half-time, and even the central defenders came to the top of the arc to defend the Liverpool U18 half. The physical exhaustion caused by the game in stoppage time was fatal, but Li Qingcai did not come on as a substitute. A few minutes and you'll be full of energy.
So, one can only hope that the football will fly out of the sideline.
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Li Qing stretched his right foot while running and used the arch of his foot to stop the football toward the no-man's area in front of him.
Middlesbrough U18 head coach Liddell sighed helplessly. The defensive player was more than ten meters away from Li Qing. Can the goalkeeper alone complete the defense?
the answer is negative.
Facing the goalkeeper who abandoned the goal, Li Qing calmly passed the goalkeeper and then kicked the football into the unguarded goal.
Scored twice!
2:0!
There is more than one minute left in injury time, which is equivalent to completely killing the game!
Almost all the players on the home team's bench rushed across the sideline excitedly and pounced on Li Qing, who scored the second goal.
Neil Critchley once again raised his arms and shouted excitedly, and then high-fived his assistant Mike Garrity to celebrate the goal that sealed the victory!
Neither of them could hide their admiration for Li Qing on their facial expressions. Before, they had thought that Li Qing would slowly adapt to the U18 competition, but now it seems a bit redundant.
Although Li Qing looks thin, his confrontation ability is quite amazing. He is not at a disadvantage when facing a burly defensive player over 1.8 meters tall!
Neil Critchley suddenly had a bold idea in his mind, maybe... U18 can't keep him for too long...
U23?
No!
If Li Qing can continue to perform at his current superior level for a few months, maybe... he can be called up by Klopp to participate in the Premier League!
The sharp striker Mane will participate in the African Cup of Nations in January next year. Coupled with the large number of injuries to midfielders and frontcourt players, promoting young players has become one of the few feasible options, especially since Klopp likes to tap his potential.
The game ended with Liverpool U18 defeating Middlesbrough U18 [2:0]. Li Qing, who was called in at the last minute, scored two goals which was the key to the home team winning the game. Therefore, he became the focus of reporters and fans present.
This also made Li Qing feel like a star for the first time!
Of course, he doesn't lose himself here because he knows that the Premier League and Champions League are the real stages.
