Chapter 313 Own assist, super lob

Sterling did not calm down after receiving the yellow card. On the contrary, he became even more angry and prepared to argue with the referee Oliver. This frightened the head coach Guardiola and other Manchester City players.

The reason why Liverpool drew in the away game in the first round at the Etihad Stadium was largely because they had one less player. If we had one less player this time, the most likely result would be a big win for Liverpool at home. .

The difference between them is now four points. If it becomes seven points, the league championship this season will be basically hopeless.

Thinking of this possibility, Manchester City players showed their potential. De Bruyne and Kyle Walker immediately grabbed the emotional Sterling and asked him to stay away from the referee to avoid receiving a second yellow card.

Captain Fernandinho plays the good guy role and keeps saying nice things to Oliver.

Guardiola did not let down his guard because Sterling was pulled away. To be honest, Sterling's performance in this game was really bad, especially when the home fans made boos, it was easy to get emotional.

Staying on the court is always a hidden danger.

So, he quickly turned to look at the bench and shouted to Bernardo Silva: "Bernardo, go warm up."

When the game restarted, Robertson threw a ball from the left side of the backcourt. The Manchester City players, who were lagging behind, pressed forward very high, obviously hoping to regain control of the football through high pressure.

The football flew towards Li Qing who was stuck in position, and Fernandinho immediately followed him.

Li Qing moved gracefully and took the initiative to face the football, as if he had eyes in the back of his head. He knocked the flying football with the heel of his left foot towards the unmarked Henderson behind him, who quickly transferred the ball to his own right.

Liverpool's backcourt throw-in suddenly became clear under Li Qing's elegant pass, and Manchester City's defensive players had to file back into their own half.

Arnold's ability to get the ball is not very strong, but Salah, who goes forward to participate in the attack, has strong one-on-one ability.

"Nice backheel pass!"

After passing the football, Li Qing bypassed Fernandinho and quickly ran forward to support the team's offense.

Fernandinho knew that he was not as fast as Li Qing, so there was an obvious tug on the jersey during the turn. His movements were very subtle and very technical. He pulled and loosened, causing Li Qing to be unable to run at full strength, thus having an effect. Good defensive effect.

Salah and Arnold failed to find a good opportunity to attack on the right, and the football passed to Wijnaldum in the middle.

Liverpool started passing the ball through the middle to see if they could find a good passing opportunity.

Because Li Qing was closely followed by Fernandinho, Wijnaldum or Henderson rarely passed the ball to Li Qing. If they did, it was a relatively safe close pass.

Without Li Qing passing the ball directly forward, Liverpool's offense lacked actual threats.

After getting the ball, Salah didn't have a good chance on the right. After cutting inside, he chose to shoot directly from a long distance.

Ederson chose his position very well, and when he was ready, Manchester City switched from defense to attack.

Liverpool players did not press high and retreated to their own half, waiting for Manchester City to attack.

In the blink of an eye, five minutes passed, and Bernardo Silva returned to the visiting team's coaching bench, preparing to come on as a substitute.

Sane's cross after the breakthrough was too close to the small penalty area, and Liverpool goalkeeper Karius easily hugged it.

Li Qing raised his hand for the ball in the middle, which immediately attracted the attention of many Manchester City players, but Karius did not throw the ball to Li Qing, but to Salah on the right.

It was only then that the Manchester City players realized that they had been deceived by Li Qing.

His raising his hand to ask for the ball was just a pretense to attract the defensive attention of Salah, so when he saw the football flying towards Salah, he turned around and ran forward.

Fernandinho, who had been paying attention to Li Qing's running, once again showed his effect. His small movements prevented Li Qing from starting at full speed.

Facing Delph and Otamendi who were waiting for him, Salah did not dare to continue dribbling. He chose to dunk the ball back and then handed it to Wijnaldum who followed up in the middle.

Liverpool quickly counterattacked and entered a positional battle, but at this moment, the seemingly honest Li Qing suddenly accelerated. Fernandinho quickly reached out and pulled, and Li Qing's forward speed paused.

Henderson's pass was not passed much in advance. Li Qing, who had passed the center line, stepped forward with his right foot and blocked Fernandinho behind him. At the same time, he used the opponent's forward momentum to take a quick step and beat Henderson. The passed football was quickly kicked towards the right rib of Manchester City's defense, which is also the left rib of our own attack.

The football rolled out quickly against the ground and moved forward towards Mane. Perhaps due to the influence of Fernandinho, Li Qing's pass was a bit advanced.

Kyle Walker lost his position, Stones was unable to turn around immediately due to the influence of Firmino, and goalkeeper Ederson decisively chose to abandon the goal!

Mane is very fast, but judging from his position, Ederson has a better chance of making a clearance.

Despite this, neither Mane nor Firmino gave up, putting pressure on Ederson.

I don’t know if Ederson was affected by being kicked in the face by Mane in the first round. When he fell to the ground to clear the ball, he did not kick the ball up. The football rolled quickly against the grass in the direction it came from.

"aoaooaoooooo——"

The Liverpool fans at Anfield unexpectedly burst into loud cheers.

Of course, it wasn't the home fans who cheered Ederson.

The on-site director quickly switched the camera, and the fans sitting in front of the TV saw the football rolling close to the ground and quickly towards Li Qing who sent the pass.

"Oh-My-God!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's voice suddenly rose an octave: "Edson Santana de Morais made a mistake in the clearance and the football went to Lee!!"

At the same time, Fernandinho, who was originally guarding Li Qing, felt a thump in his heart. He originally thought that the team was switching from defense to offense. He had a heavy task in this game and was prepared to participate in the offense. As a result... the always stable Etienne Dessen actually made a mistake...

It was obviously too late to turn around and defend Li Qing. He could only watch helplessly as Li Qing faced the ball, adjusted his steps, rubbed the inside of the instep of his left foot toward the bottom of the football, and the football flew towards the unguarded goal at a faster speed.

Ederson, who had just stood up, was too lazy to run towards the goal. He had a hunch that this goal... was going to go in.

as expected!

A second later, Liverpool fans shouted loudly and loudly: "aoaooaooaooooooo——"

"The ball is in! The ball is in! A super lob from over 40 meters! Li Qing used his third goal of the game to help Liverpool expand the score! 3:1!"

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said hysterically: "Edson was very polite and passed Li Qing's pass back. How could the young player Li Qing not accept such a gift?"

Goalkeeper 'Regent' Bravo, who was sitting on the visiting team's bench, felt comfortable. As a substitute for Ederson in the first round, he conceded three goals in a row against Li Qing. At that time, he was ridiculed by Ederson and others. Now ...It's time for him to ridicule and go back!
