Chapter 41 Four Games, Eleven Goals
Everton U18, who was sitting at home, was naturally unwilling to lag behind. In the subsequent games, they consciously strengthened their offense. The defense line that originally performed well as a whole gradually became more loopholes as time went by. This increasingly obvious loophole is undoubtedly equal to It gave Li Qing the breakthrough space he needed.
During the more than ten days of vacation, Li Qing focused on training the basic skills of his feet. The three skills, dribbling and ball control that have not yet reached 70 values have increased significantly. The highest growth is undoubtedly the skills. The original 65 has increased to 69, the dribbling has increased from the original 69 to 70, and the ball control has increased from the original 67 to the current 68.
Such data can basically guarantee that Li Qing can complete higher-quality breakthroughs and quickly counterattack with the ball without purchasing a five-star technology card.
The Everton U18 player's continuous passes in the midfield were intercepted by the aggressive running Coyle. The latter followed the quick counterattack tactics formulated by head coach Neil Critchley before the game and moved the football towards his side to the right. The road passed.
"Ouch-ouch——"
Accompanied by the loud cheers made by Liverpool U18 fans, Li Qing, wearing jersey No. 28, ran at high speed along the right sideline. Under the blue sky and white clouds, he was like a red lightning flash across the green field, attracting the attention of the whole audience.
Coyle's pass was not accurate, but Li Qing's victory was that he was fast enough to stop the ball before it left the sideline, and then continued to move forward with a simple and direct acceleration in the face of the defensive player who was rushing to defend.
Everton U18 central defender Richards, who was returning to defense at high speed, saw the moment when Li Qing's ball left his feet and chose to fall to the ground and make a sliding tackle!
In his mind, even if he failed to scoop the football, he still had to leave the person where he was.
As for whether he will receive a red card, that is not something he should consider. That is a matter for the referee.
However, he was thinking too much. Li Qing's acceleration of up to 89% could guarantee him a second acceleration during high-speed running.
(Note: The original two speeds are 85 and 87. The talent [mentioned by Speed Maniac] can increase the two speed values according to the endurance limit of the leg muscles. They are now 87 and 89)
The onlookers were frightened by Richards's action and forgot to make a sound for a moment. Neil Critchley, Gerrard and Mike Garrity all had their pupils shrunk, their faces full of anger and dissatisfaction.
But at the next moment, their expressions became excited again, because... Richards only shoveled a ball of air.
What happened next was very simple for a shooter who had contributed eight goals in the past three games of the National Youth League. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he faked a shot and actually dunked into an empty goal, helping Liverpool U18 lead Everton U18 by two goals as a guest. .
Falling behind by less than two goals at halftime was simply unacceptable for the team sitting at home. The offense increased significantly after the game restarted, but in many cases strengthening the offense may not result in equal returns.
The skills and tactics with Li Qing as the core were fully used in this game. He scored two more goals in the first and second half and performed a hat trick, helping the team beat their old enemy 4:0 as a guest.
Interested people have discovered that after the sixteenth round of the English Youth Super League, the scorer list has undergone surprising changes. Another Liverpool U18 player has appeared in the top ten of the total scorer list.
Li Qing!
He ranks sixth on the overall scorer list with 11 goals and fourth on the North Division scorer list.
The top ones are Wolves U18 player Jack Allan, Liverpool U18 player Glenn McCauley and Manchester City U18 player Jadon Sancho.
You must know that Li Qing contributed 11 goals in four games. To be precise, it should be three games + 7 minutes. This kind of scoring efficiency can be said to be amazing.
At the U18 stage, the difficulty of scoring goals is much higher than that of U15-U16 or below.
It was the achievement achieved in this context that instantly attracted great attention.
Of course, this attention is limited to the media that pays attention to England's youth training and European youth training. After all, fans prefer to pay attention to the higher-level adult team's top league.
Li Qing, who rarely pays attention to U18 news reports, took his mobile phone and murmured: "You are sixth in the total scorer list? Huh? The top-ranked Chelsea U18 player Taylor Crosdale has only sixteen goals? Is that okay? How about trying to be the top scorer in limited games?”
As he spoke, a confident smile appeared on his lips.
※※※※※※
The first game of the first English Football Youth Super League in 2017 has ended, which means that the countdown to the 2016-2017 England FA Youth Cup has begun.
Every head coach entering the top 32 will focus on the opponents they are about to face. Manchester City U18 head coach Lee Carsley has a headache. The former Everton player feels more and more pressure. big.
The Liverpool U18 team they faced at the beginning of this season would not be easy to deal with. The problem is that this team has become much stronger with the addition of the talented forward Li Qing from the U15-U16 echelon. He has contributed 11 points in four games. goals, infinitely close to the average hat trick per game.
Such an efficient forward is a sharp knife staring at the throat of any team's defense, which is extremely uncomfortable.
There are so many personal technical features in front of me that it feels overwhelming.
Not only does he have strong personal offensive breakthrough ability, he also has super scoring ability. What's even more abnormal is that he also has a precise long pass.
The first two points are relatively easy to restrict. The question is how to restrict long passes?
When defensive players face players with fast speed and strong breakthrough ability, they usually keep their distance and defend against one with two, and sometimes even defend with three against one. However, with too many defensive players guarding players holding the ball and nearby attacking players, then There is no time to take care of the far-end defense, after all, the manpower is limited.
"damn it!"
It wasn't until two days before the start of the game that Manchester City U18 head coach Lee Carsley suddenly realized that the 1/16 finals were his team's home court, and his team had Foden, Sancho, Diaz and other talents who were not inferior to Li Qing's. Why should young talents consider more defense at home?
Isn't it good to win the game at home with a crushing offense?
