Chapter 492 Five Crowns

The game restarted, and Manchester City, which was lagging behind, had no choice. Head coach Guardiola could only choose to activate the team's offense through substitutions.

The Community Shield is the Super Cup of the English League, but this event is different from the Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup. The intention of the warm-up match is very obvious, so the number of substitutions is not the conventional three, but six.

Manchester City, which had completely defeated three substitution adjustments, continued to make targeted deployments in terms of personnel. The post-2000 teenager Diaz replaced right back Danilo. The formation changed from the original 433 to 343, with defenders Mendy, Laporte and O Tammendi, midfielders David Silva, Fernandinho, Gundogan and Diaz, forwards Jesus, Aguero and Bernardo Silva.

Liverpool immediately followed suit and made two substitution adjustments. Feng Shui forward Origi replaced the goal hero Mane, and Klavan replaced Firmino. Liverpool's formation subsequently became 343.

Van Dijk, Matip and Klavan partnered with three central defenders, the four forwards were Robertson, Curtis Jones, Wijnaldum and Moreno, and Li Qing, Origi and Salah partnered with three forwards.

Although Liverpool's removal of Firmino and Mane seemed to strengthen the defense, with Li Qing's position moved up to the forward line, the offense became more and more threatening to Manchester City. Guardiola, who refused to admit defeat, frowned and said deeply His eyes are looking at the court, obviously thinking about how to strengthen the offense without reducing the quality of defense.

After thinking for several minutes, he couldn't think of a good way.

In fact, countless methods and tactics were thought of before the game, but the results were very limited. To be precise, they were useless. Otherwise, the team would not have been able to score two goals in a row with Li Qing on the court.

"I just have to leave it to fate."

Guardiola sighed in his heart and was very helpless. After all, players of Li Qing's level are phenomenal, two levels better than Messi and Ronaldo.

"aoaoaooaooaooaooooo——"

The Liverpool fans in the audience were as excited as children, and they burst into loud cheers one after another, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

The Manchester City players played very hard, and even every player performed at their best. Unfortunately, the Liverpool players played well defensively, and through each other's defense and assistance, they did not leave any space for the Manchester City players.

In addition, the defensive players were afraid of Li Qing and did not provide enough support on the offensive end. There was no way to pose a direct threat to Alisson's goalkeeping.

In the 69th minute, Alisson confiscated David Silva's long-range shot, and with a lunge, Qilin threw the football far away with his right arm. The audience roared with loud and violent shouts like a tsunami: "aooaoaooaooooo— —”

The live broadcast quickly caught up, and Li Qing was seen chasing the football and bumping Laporte with his shoulder. Laporte staggered due to the impact. Although he did not fall to the ground, he still couldn't. Staggering, his steps were messy, and it was already impossible to catch up with Li Qing.

Li Qing, who was hit by a huge reaction force, had amazing body balance. He stabilized his body in two or three steps and chased the ball away.

A red lightning flashed across the court at high speed. Otamendi, who was defending, never dared to move forward. Facing Li Qing, who was not slowing down in getting the ball, he chose to fight conservatively and retreat.

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun raised his voice twice and said with high spirits: "Only Otamendi is left in front of Li Qing!"

The distance between Otamendi and Li Qing was getting closer and closer. He had a good sense of position and realized that there was a restricted area further back. His retreat suddenly stopped. At this moment, Li Qing's right shoulder sank. , the outer instep of the right foot is turned towards the football.

Otamendi's eyes lit up and he didn't care so much. He leaned his body weight to the left and got stuck in Li Qing's forward dribbling route in advance.

However, he was depressed as soon as he made the move. Li Qing raised his right foot instead of moving towards the football. Instead, he made a feint. He used the huge reaction force brought by his right foot to stabilize his body and turned his center of gravity to the left, under his left shoulder. Shen, raised his left foot, moved the outer instep to the left, and accelerated in the opposite direction of Otamendi's body movement to complete the breakthrough.

"It's over."

Otamendi and coach Guardiola thought of this word at the same time.

Goalkeeper Ederson did not play psychological tactics with Li Qing this time. He chose to be very safe and stood at the line of the small penalty area, waiting for Li Qing to arrive.

Li Qing entered the penalty area with the ball, without raising his head. He directly raised his left foot while running, and the instep of his instep hit the middle and lower part of the football hard like a whip.

"Boom~"

The football shot up from the ground like a cannonball, flying towards the upper left corner of the goal with a crisp muffled sound.

Standing in the middle of the small penalty area, Ederson only had time to shrink his pupils, tilt his neck, and follow the powerful and heavy football into the net...

"Goooooooooooooooal——"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's iconic drawl sounded throughout the live broadcast room again.

"The ball is in!"

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei blurted out, ecstatic: "Incredible performance! Two goals and one assist as a substitute! The first goal champion in the new century is indeed well-deserved! Manchester City, led by Guardiola, wants to win the new season It is estimated that it will be difficult to win the league championship.”

"Li Qing's strength is so outstanding, just like our country's invincible table tennis, there is no opponent."

Commentator Gong Lei changed the topic: "It's really hard to imagine that a top player like Li Qing can maintain such a high hunger for glory, winning the league championship, the Champions League championship, the FA Cup championship, the League Cup championship, and the Community Shield championship. Even with the quadrennial World Cup championship in hand, it can be said that I have no desire and no desire. It is precisely because of this that I appreciate Li Qing even more, he is... so outstanding!"

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun shouted almost crazily: "Second goal as a substitute! Liverpool is two goals ahead of Manchester City. They are truly the king of the stadium! The new 2018-2019 Premier League season has not yet kicked off. I believe... …The result is already there in the minds of many fans! Three consecutive league titles, why not?”

取得进球的李擎依旧是那副很欠揍的表情，对进球缺乏应有尊重，也正是如此，无数热爱他的球迷是越来越爱。

If it were other players, they would have been sprayed by Xiang, but Li Qing was destined not to be sprayed, because... the person who sprayed was afraid of being slapped in the face.

In the restarted game, Manchester City had lost the determination to score goals, and their play was not so aggressive. Liverpool, which was leading by two goals, continued to strengthen its defense and left the counterattack completely to Li Qing.

Time passed by second by second, and the score displayed on the scoreboard did not change until the end of the game.

4:2, Liverpool defeated Manchester City at the new Wembley Stadium and won the first championship before the start of the 2018-2019 season.

"Game over! Game over!"

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "This championship is Liverpool's fifth championship in 2018. If they can defeat Atletico Madrid in the European Super Cup ten days later, then... Liverpool will be able to tie Guardiola's record in A record of six crowns set in 2009!”

The Liverpool fans in the audience were in high spirits and shouted loudly like a tsunami: "aoaooaoaoooo——"

For them, five crowns is not unprecedented. In 2000, they won the Community Shield, League Cup, FA Cup, Europa League and European Super Cup.

Of course, these five championships cannot be compared with the five championships won after 18 years, so the Liverpool fans in the audience were particularly happy. In 2018, there are still two championships left for Liverpool to compete for, which means that it can reach an unprecedented seven. Crowning great cause!

Thinking of this possibility, shouts resounded from the sky!
