Chapter 329 Assistance

Liverpool got a free kick in the backcourt. Guardiola replaced Gundogan, who was good at attacking and defending in the midfield, with Bernardo Silva. De Bruyne, who originally played on the right, returned to his familiar center.

Gundogan's rise from an unknown player to a German international was entirely due to Klopp's insight when he was coaching Dortmund. The two had a very good personal relationship, so when Gundogan was substituted, Klopp took the initiative to step forward and hug his former protégé. .

The commentator in the on-site commentary box also casually talked about the past of the two, and then his attention turned to the exciting game that restarted.

Manchester City, who are good at ground passing and control, no longer have the same control as they did at the beginning of the second half, but Guardiola's tactical thinking is very obvious, that is... to expand the score again and kill the game!

Milner's defensive ability is not particularly good, but he has a good attitude towards the game, covers a large area, and plays a very important role in defending in the middle. With his rich game experience, he can use one person as two people.

Guardiola, who was standing in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, raised his eyebrows. The left side of the offense was paralyzed as expected due to the influence of Li Qing. Bernardo Silva was replaced in order to be able to flourish on the right side of the offense. Nai He had just replaced him. Bernardo Silva still needs to find his game status. Liverpool's defense stabilized the backcourt defense with Milner fighting fires everywhere. Manchester City's offense really didn't have any good ideas for a while.

The fanatical atmosphere of the new Wembley Stadium has declined to a certain extent, but as long as the football is given to Li Qing's feet, a huge and violent roar like a tsunami will quickly sweep through the entire stadium.

Aguero's long shot from outside the penalty area was not confiscated by Karius. Liverpool switched from defense to offense. Li Qing stayed in his own half. Fernandinho hesitated and did not wait for Li Qing anymore, passing him After two minutes of observation, Li Qing's position returned to the right, that is, facing Sane and Danilo. If he follows Li Qing for a long time, the space behind him will be fatal.

"aoaooaoaooooo——"

After several consecutive passes, the football rolled towards Li Qing, who stayed in the backcourt to respond. Huge shouts rang out over the new Wembley Stadium. Aguero, who had not yet replayed, was doing a fake job, but the effect was natural. Li Qing was relaxed. He turned around and sped up and rushed over.

Sane and forward forward De Bruyne looked at each other and decided to step forward to apply pressure.

Li Qing did not break through, passed the ball to Wijnaldum with his left foot, and then ran to attack the right wing. Wijnaldum received the ball and passed the ball back to Van Dijk with his left foot. The latter faced to the right and vigorously Give the ball to Arnold.

Since Sane was following Li Qing, Arnold, who got the ball, did not rush to pass the ball, but walked a few meters forward with the ball. It was not until he passed the center line that he attracted Sane and Aguero to approach.

Arnold's ability to break through has declined greatly since he switched to guard. He passed the ball sideways to Henderson, who was receiving the ball. The latter passed the ball directly to Li Qing without stopping. The Liverpool fans in the audience once again burst into loud cheers.

Danilo was in the first position, and Li Qing rarely broke through with the ball. Instead, he passed it to Firmino who received the ball in the middle, and then quickly ran around to the right sideline.

Firmino and Li Qing have practiced this kind of passing and cutting cooperation countless times in the training ground, so the weight of the passing is just right.

Li Qing's sudden start is very terrifying, coupled with his early outward movement, it undoubtedly increases the difficulty of defending Danilo, who is already passive.

Like a red lightning flashing across the right side of the court at high speed, Danilo, who was slower to react, couldn't even commit a foul.

Guardiola, who was standing in the visiting team coach's command area, was anxious and felt a certain amount of pressure.

Firmino's pass was delivered very early, taking full advantage of Li Qing's speed. Otamendi did not dare to step forward and commit a foul, so he chose to stay in his position. In addition, he targeted Li Qing before the game. After researching, I learned that Li Qing is left-handed and there is only one possibility to get the ball from the right - cut inside!

Don't panic, don't panic!

Don’t panic at all!

Otamendi kept giving himself psychological hints, but it was of no use. The more hints he gave, the more nervous he became.

After Li Qing caught up with the football, he slowed down his forward dribbling speed. Otamendi blocked Li Qing's path to cut in. They still maintained a safe distance of about two meters, fearing Li Qing's sudden explosive start. Can't keep up with the speed.

Otamendi was worried about Li Qing cutting inside, so he naturally ignored the possibility of Li Qing passing the ball from the right.

Of course, he can also suddenly accelerate and slip into the penalty area from the baseline. The problem is that Otamendi maintains a safe distance. This distance allows him to make up for his lack of explosive power, thus playing a role in clearing or fouling.

Firmino and Mane have already entered the penalty area, one behind the other. However, because Li Qing's current ball control environment only has one way to cut inside, Kompany and Kyle Walker, who are defending the two, are trying to seize the position. host.

Klopp and Guardiola, who were standing in the command area of ​​the coaches of the home and away teams, both focused on Li Qing, thinking about how he would make choices in this environment.

The madman atmosphere at the new Wembley Stadium continues to rise, and the chants are getting louder and louder.

At this moment, Li Qing was facing the baseline, stepping on the football with the sole of his right foot. Otamendi thought that Li Qing was about to suddenly open up the space to the left and start cutting inside, so he took another half step back. Unexpectedly, Li Qing stepped on the ball. The right foot of the ball was quickly put down, and as a support, the left foot went around behind the right foot and kicked the football that was stopped in place.

That’s right!

What Li Qing used was the skill [Flower Arrangement Feet]!

The football he kicked out quickly rose into the air. Otamendi never thought that Li Qing would cross the ball with his feet, so he did not make any blocking action. He could only turn around and watch the football lead. Flying towards the door in an obviously irregular arc.

"What? Cross the ball?"

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun was stunned for a moment, and his voice suddenly rose an octave.

Goalkeeper Ederson looked at the movement of the football, and with just a slight hesitation, he lost the best opportunity to attack.

Even though Kompany, the central defender who defended Firmino, had rich experience in the game, he did not expect that Li Qing would make such a show, and he forgot what he was going to do for a moment.

The Liverpool players did not forget what to do.

Goal!

juvenile!

I saw Firmino flashing in front of Kompany with lightning speed to meet the falling football. It was only then that he realized what he should do as a central defender.

Defense!

But Firmino, whom he wanted to defend, had already stepped in front of him, raised his right foot to meet the ball, and fired a shot from the arch of his foot.

The football changed its trajectory and flew towards the near corner of the goal, which is the lower right corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Ederson subconsciously fell to the ground to save but did not touch the football...

"Goooooooooooooal——"

Sky commentator Andy Gray's trademark drawl rang out from the live studio at the new Wembley Stadium.

Firmino, who was sure the ball went into the net, turned around, and Li Qing, who smiled and pointed his fingers to send the assist, embraced passionately and celebrated the release of the huge pressure from the equalizer.

Head coach Klopp screamed ferociously to the sky, venting the huge pressure he had been holding in his heart during this period.
