Chapter 289 Battle of Dignity

Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the game, frowned. Li Qing was in excellent condition. It would be very difficult for his team to score points in the away game, unless... Liverpool was like It was the fifth round of the game where the main players took a rest as a guest in Karabakh.

Judging from Liverpool's current situation, it is very possible to take a break. The question is whether Li Qing will take a turn...

Also watching the live broadcast was Roma head coach Di Francesco. If Roma wants to advance to the top 16 of the Champions League this season, the first step is for Liverpool to defeat Atletico Madrid at home. Otherwise, they will not be able to advance even if they win 100 goals against Karabakh at home.

However, judging from Liverpool's state in this game, as long as Li Qing is not hidden in the sixth round of the group stage, it will be very difficult for Atletico Madrid to score points in the away game...

The game restarted, and the scoreboard at Anfield Stadium showed 3:0, with the home team in front and the visiting team in back.

With a three-goal lead, Klopp can make certain adjustments to the lineup. Compared with a two-goal lead, a three-goal lead has greater changes in options, so he made the second adjustment of the game a few minutes later, using Joe. Gomez replaced Mane, who was physically demanding, to strengthen defense.

Although Mane did not score or assist in this game, his support was very good. The Liverpool fans in the audience saw this and gave Mane a thunderous applause for his outstanding performance.

Chelsea made the last adjustment of the game, with Pedro replacing Marcos Alonso, who had a yellow card.

Pedro's role as a substitute is still not very obvious. When Liverpool intends to recycle the defense, it can only play a little role in controlling the ball.

Time passed by second by second, leaving less and less time for Chelsea players. Hazard, Willian, Morata and Pedro worked very hard, and frequently guarded Mignolet with the help of Fabregas. The goal creates a threat.

Unfortunately, Liverpool's defense led by Van Dijk was impregnable and did not leave many loopholes for Chelsea's offense. Coupled with the Liverpool counterattack group headed by Li Qing, Chelsea's offense was somewhat less three-dimensional.

Before the end of the game, Hazard and William broke into the penalty area and were tripped by Joe Gomez. The referee Oliver decisively awarded a penalty kick.

Regarding the penalty kick in the third minute of stoppage time, the Liverpool players did not complain much. After all, the game was about to end after Hazard took this penalty kick, which was regarded as a consolation prize for the Chelsea players.

Facing the national team's second goalkeeper Mignolet, Hazard easily hit the penalty and helped Chelsea save face.

Hazard, who scored, did not celebrate the goal. Instead, he kept shaking his head to express his dissatisfaction with his performance in this game.

"Beep~beep~beep~~"

The referee Oliver on duty blew two short and one long whistles to end the game, declaring the end of the ninety-minute red and blue battle.

"Game over! Game over!"

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "The home team Liverpool defeated Chelsea 3:1 at home with Li Qing's hat trick! They are five points ahead with one more game than Manchester City!"

"The young player Li Qing is the best in this game! Every goal he scores is very beautiful! I wonder if Li Qing will be among the top three European Ballon d'Or winners selected by "France Football" next month. …”

Commentator Xu Yang said.

"Another superstar performance!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said with excitement: "Chelsea's loss to Liverpool was not unfair at all! The only fault is that Antonio Conte did not do a good job of defending against Lee before the game."

Li Qing, who scored three points, was naturally named the best player in the game. The live director's close-up shots showed Li Qing for a long time, making countless Liverpool fans and Li Qing fans sitting in front of the TV ecstatic.

The reporters in the mixed zone rioted again, shooting wildly at Li Qing, who was shining brightly in this game.

Li Qing, who was in a good mood, raised his scissor hands towards the reporter, showing his naughty side as a teenager.

In the regular press conference after the game, the visiting team coach Conte habitually praised the team for its heavy responsibility in losing. He stubbornly believed that this season's league has only ended 13 rounds, and there will be 25 league rounds in the future to chase points.

The reporters present obviously did not want to hear these words. A middle-aged reporter from The Times asked: "Mr. Antonio, Diego Costa, who was abandoned by you, said that Chelsea will lose at Anfield without him. May I ask? Is there anything you want to say?"

Conte was furious, but he did not vent to reporters. Instead, he said coldly: "He didn't score a goal to help us win in the second round of the red-blue game last season. This... is my answer."

The conflict between Diego Costa and Conte broke out before the start of this season. Conte's tit-for-tat response undoubtedly made the reporters present very excited. There is no doubt that tomorrow's headlines have been stabilized.

There was no unexpected news in the regular press conference of the home team. Klopp's normal response was exactly the same as that of Henderson. The reporters present all shook their heads and sighed. It was the visiting team coach Conte who was more interesting.

The next day, Manchester City, Liverpool's biggest rival for the league title this season, defeated Huddersfield 2:1 away from home, continuing to maintain pressure on top spot Liverpool.

All 13 rounds of the Premier League in the 2017-2018 season have been completed. Except for Liverpool and Manchester City, which are almost neck-and-neck, the other four giants are showing signs of falling behind. There was no strong dialogue in the 14th round, but Liverpool's visit to challenge Stoke City in the league attracted all the fans. Mass media and fan attention around the world.

Li Qing scored 31 goals in the Premier League in the past 2016-2017 season, reversing Harry Kane to win the league's Golden Boot that season. However, Li Qing only played 15 league games last season, and Li Qing only played 15 league games in the 2017-2018 season. It only took 13 games to complete 30 goals, averaging 2.3 goals per game, compared with 2.06 goals last season. The upward trend is obvious.

It is not difficult to see that Li Qing's scoring status is getting better and better.

The media is quite optimistic that Li Qing will break the personal record of 31 goals set last season in the league as a guest at bet365 Stadium. It is somewhat suspenseful to tie the 34 goals set by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole in the Premier League in a single season. However, this season Li Qing has a 99% chance of setting a new record this season!

It is even possible to break the English top league single-season record of 60 goals set by former Everton star Dixie Dean this season!

Before Stoke City faced Liverpool at home, reports from European mainstream media were almost all about how many goals Li Qing could score in the game, and whether he could break the Premier League single-season scoring record jointly held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. Ball record.

Stoke City head coach Mark Hughes believes that the media disrespected Stoke City when they speculated on Li Qing's goal. Therefore, he said that he will do his best to defend and defend his dignity in the home game against Liverpool!

As a result, Stoke City started a battle of dignity amidst the cheers of 20,000 fans at home.
