Chapter 283 A show of force

"Beep~"

With a long whistle from the referee Michael Oliver, the 13th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season started at Anfield Stadium.

This game is the 51st meeting between the two teams in the Premier League. In the past 50 games, the two sides have been evenly divided, with 19 wins, 12 draws and 19 losses. Liverpool has a clear home advantage, with 13 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses. However, the results in the past six home games have not been very good. Ideal, only achieved 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses.

Liverpool, who had a kick-off advantage, quickly organized an effective offensive and passed several passes. Milner directly handed the ball to Li Qing, who raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Marcos Alonso saw the football rolling towards Li Qing. He didn't have any extra thoughts and pushed Li Qing directly behind him. The referee Oliver's whistle sounded and gave Liverpool a direct free kick from the right side of the front court.

"wuwuwuwuuuuuu——"

It was accompanied by overwhelming boos, sent to Marcos Alonso who violated Li Qing.

Marcos Alonso doesn't care. He will definitely face Li Qing many times in this game. In order to make the next game easier, it is a very good way to show off his power in advance.

Li Qing followed Firmino's outstretched right hand and stood up, looking at Marcos Alonso thoughtfully.

Show off your power?

hehe……

Because the position is too wide, it would be unreasonable to shoot directly, so this ball is used to challenge the offensive players in the penalty area.

In the past two red-blue battles, Marcos Alonso did not get any advantage. On the contrary, he was challenged by Li Qing many times, so Li Qing wanted to know where his confidence came from.

Milner's offensive free kick from the right was deflected by Christensen, and the football flew right to Li Qing, who was waiting at the edge of the penalty area.

The fans in the auditorium were instantly excited and stood up, shouting loudly: "aoaooaoaooaoooo——"

I saw Li Qing swinging his left foot to meet the ball and hitting it.

"Boom~"

Marcos Alonso and Kante, who wanted to block the shot head-on, clearly heard a crisp popping sound, and they both shuddered instantly.

If this ball hits you, it will hurt so much!

Goalkeeper Courtois looked at the football flying quickly from the gap between the people and had no time to react. All he could do was not let his eyes take away from the football.

"——Bang!"

The football flying at high speed hit the intersection between the left goal and the crossbar hard, making a crisp collision sound.

"wowowoowooooo——"

The cheers that erupted above the Anfield stadium were instantly replaced by exclamations.

The ball bounced back and was grabbed by Azpilicueta, who reacted quickly, and pushed it out of the bottom line before Firmino could react...

"Goalpost! What a shame!"

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun exclaimed: "At this moment, the Anfield goal could not tell the difference between us and the enemy. It rejected Li Qing's first shot from the front of the penalty area that he was sure to win!"

Li Qing, who just missed the ball, pulled his hair with both hands and looked very regretful.

Head coach Klopp reacted even more violently, as if he was shot in the chest by a machine gun, leaning directly back on the artificial turf in the home team coach's command area.

The goalkeeper Courtois reacted and roared at the defender: "What are you doing? Watch that damn Lee for me! Don't let him kick!"

The Chelsea defender felt very wronged and thought to himself: If we can prevent him from shooting, why do we need you? Going to the theater?

The on-site director gave a close-up of Li Qing's face. The fans in front of the TV saw Li Qing no longer had the regretful expression. He became high-spirited again and looked like he would never give up until he scored.

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "Only two minutes into the game, Li Qing contributed a long-range shot that was enough to score. We can easily see that his condition is very good. Will it be difficult to score? No. !Just a matter of time."

Li Qing's excellent opening form immediately attracted the attention of Liverpool players. Except for Marcos Alonso who committed a foul from time to time, Kante, Bakayoko and Drinkwater would actively seek physical confrontation.

To be more precise, he used fouls to prevent Li Qing from advancing with the ball.

Without Li Qing in Liverpool's offense, the speed has dropped a lot, making it much easier for Chelsea to defend.

As the defense blossomed, Chelsea's offense gradually improved. Hazard who got the ball repeatedly created murderous opportunities. Fortunately, Van Dijk did a very good one-on-one defense and did not give Hazard any shooting opportunities.

Li Qing, who is gradually frozen, is not without any achievements. His long passes and passes can often open up the team's offense. It is a pity that Firmino and Mane did not seize the opportunity.

The two sides attacked back and forth, and the game time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it came to twenty minutes, and the scoreboard still showed 0:0.

Marcos Alonso and Kanter, who were defending Li Qing, were a little drifting during this period, thinking that through their own efforts, they had frozen the recently invincible Li Qing.

Is it really so?

Li Qing kept retreating to take the ball and organize the attack, not because he was afraid of Marcos Alonso and Kante's defense, but because he wanted to observe the loopholes in Chelsea's defense.

It is relatively easy for Li Qing to score goals because... his skill [Superstar Moment] has finished cooling down.

Ten minutes into the game, the fanatical atmosphere at Anfield Stadium has declined to a certain extent. Chelsea's right winger Zappacosta made a 45-degree cross from the right. The ball circled the front point with an obvious inner instep arc. Mo. Under Matip's interference, Ratt failed to exert enough force even if he hit the ball, and the ball was easily held by Mignolet.

Chelsea players have extremely high tactical execution, and they immediately look for Li Qing when switching from offense to defense.

Regarding this, Marcos Alonso and Kanter did an excellent job. Mignolet's hand-thrown ball naturally did not go to Li Qing, but he threw it to Robertson on the left.

As Chelsea filed back into the half, Robertson had a lot of room to get the ball. After more than ten consecutive passes, the ball came to the feet of Li Qing who retreated to receive the ball near the arc of the center circle. Marcos Alonso was caught for unknown reasons. He didn't follow, but Kanter was not far away, and Bakayoko and Drinkwater were there to help defend.

Feeling the concentration of Chelsea's defensive players, Li Qing's mouth raised slightly with some disdain.

Conte, who was standing in the visiting team coach's command area, had his hands in his pockets, his brows furrowed, and his eyes locked on Li Qing, who was protecting the ball.

Judging from the game that lasted nearly half an hour, Li Qing is likely to pass the ball back to his teammates.

as expected!

Facing Kanter and the eager Bakayoko, Li Qing did not dare to take the ball and turn around, but handed it to central defender Van Dijk.

But at this moment, Li Qing, who seemed to be about to suddenly advance, suddenly stopped on the spot. Kanter and Bakayoko, who had already subconsciously turned around, were half a beat too slow to react.

Van Dijk has a strong ability to read the game and immediately handed the ball to Li Qing.

"aooaoaooaooooo——"

The Liverpool fans at Anfield subconsciously burst into loud cheers, applauding Li Qing's speed increase.

Liverpool head coach Klopp naturally clenched his fists: "Are you going to speed up?"
