Chapter 494: Good start, top of the league
The first goal in the opening match between Manchester United and Leicester City took nearly three minutes, and the first goal in the first round of the 2018-2019 Premier League season at Anfield took only thirty seconds.
Li Qing, who was wearing the captain's armband, suddenly moved forward and shook off the defense of former Arsenal prince Wilshere. Salah's cross pass hit the target. Li Qing's step was just right, and he swung it when [Superstar Moment] was not applicable. Lift your right foot.
West Ham player Noble, who was defending, knew that Li Qing's left foot was his dominant foot, so he thought that his right foot was a fake shot and a real dunk, and did not make any block. Unexpectedly, Li Qing also completed a kick with his right foot. A powerful long shot.
The football shot up from the ground like a cannonball, blasting toward the upper right corner of the goal. Even though Polish goalkeeper Fabianski reacted, he failed to touch the football.
"Goooooooooooooooooal——"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's iconic drawl sounded throughout the live broadcast room for the first time.
BBC commentator Lineker exclaimed ecstatically: "Incredible performance! The game only started... 32 seconds! At this moment, should we say that West Ham United's defense is like a dog, or should we say that Lee's personal What about super ability? Compared to the former, I believe that Li’s ability surpasses every player in the game! Liverpool’s new captain will lead KOP to a good start in the league!”
"An arrow piercing the clouds, thousands of troops are coming to meet each other! The No. 10 jersey left by Coutinho was inherited by the more comprehensive Li Qing. Now...in the future, I believe that as long as No. 10 is mentioned, there will be few fans. Remembering Coutinho, Liverpool fans will only know that Liverpool’s No. 10 is Li Qing! The No. 10 captain who led Liverpool to win championships in various competitions!”
Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun shouted excitedly: "This goal is very beautiful and it boosts morale! The goal was scored in less than a minute. I believe there will be more goals in the next game!"
Li Qing, who scored the goal, still had the same expression, hunched his shoulders and faced the audience.
The fans of the home team were not dissatisfied with Li Qing's shrug in celebration. On the contrary, they were extremely excited, and the loud cheers resounded throughout Anfield.
"Leeeeeeeeeeeeeee——"
Head coach Klopp may have full confidence in Li Qing. He didn't have much emotional fluctuations when he scored the first goal of the season. He just applauded lightly, which was regarded as a compliment to Li Qing.
Assistant coaches Kravitz and Buvac were particularly excited. The two grown men hugged each other and clapped their hands excitedly. The substitute players even stood up one by one, raising their arms and shouting excitedly.
Former England No. 10 Wilshere was very envious when he saw being surrounded by Liverpool players. He couldn't help but think that if he hadn't been so indulgent, maybe he would have the opportunity to represent the national team in this year's World Cup in Russia. Maybe The starting position is a bit difficult, but...it's more than enough to get a chance to come off the bench.
It's just a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.
The home team Liverpool scored the first goal, and the rest of the game became a matter of course.
In the ninth minute, Li Qing sent a very penetrating and fatal short pass to the left rib of the attack. The football passed multiple West Ham defenders close to the ground and accurately found Salah who was ambushing in the right rib of the penalty area. Egyptian Messi did not Wasting Li Qing's wonderful pass, he caught the ball and shot in one go, and the football quickly rushed to the lower left corner of the goal.
2:0
Taking a two-goal lead means that for the defending champion, it basically means winning the game. Considering that the European Super Cup will be held in Tallinn and Rieckla Stadium in Estonia four days later, Liverpool is reasonably consumed by Li Qing's deliberate control of the rhythm of the game. Competing time.
Of course, it's not just a waste of game time. To be precise, it's like boiling a frog in warm water.
In the 36th minute, Li Qing played a wonderful one-on-one with Naby Keita, Wijnaldum, Firmino and Mane. The passing and cutting movements were as natural as mercury pouring down the ground, which was very enjoyable to watch. Sex, the Liverpool fans in the audience subconsciously burst into loud cheers, shouting loudly for their team's wonderful cooperation: "aoaoaooaooaoaooooooo——"
Li Qing received the ball from Mane and cut into the penalty area. West Ham United defender Ogbonna stretched his foot half a beat too late. Neither the player nor the ball was kicked. Fabianski had no choice but to abandon the goal and attack.
But facing the world's No. 1 Li Qing, it was obviously of little use. Li Qing exaggeratedly swung his left foot to trick Fabianski into diving for the ball. Before he even touched the ball, he flicked the toe of his left foot, and the football fell from the ground. Bianski's desperate eyes fell into the empty door...
The score displayed on the scoreboard also changed from 2:0 to 3:0.
"There will be no suspense in the first round of the 2018-2019 Premier League season!"
Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun shouted wildly with excitement: "Liverpool will definitely win the first game of the new season without any doubt! The game is not over yet, and there is still plenty of time left for the Liverpool players to further expand the score. I I believe that the score of 3:0 will definitely not be the final result.”
"aoaooaooaoooooo——"
Li Qing, who scored the goal, faced the KOP stands and moved his hands up and down, fully inciting the fanatical atmosphere of the die-hard fans in the stands, and a huge roar like a tsunami quickly swept through the entire Anfield stadium.
China Channel 5 commentator He Wei was overjoyed: "Chinese youngster Li Qing scored twice!"
Speaking of this, He Wei changed the topic and said with a smile: "It feels a little weird to describe Li Qing as a young future now, but... he is only seventeen years old. I have to say that this international football player A player recognized by the world as a monster is surprising. It’s another minimum-cost goal. There is still a lot of game time left for Liverpool, and I guess... there will be many more goals.”
The game was just as Howe said, 3:0 was indeed not the final score at Anfield. When Michael Oliver blew the whistle at the end of the game, the scoreboard showed 6:0.
Li Qing contributed three goals and two assists, perfectly interpreting what it means to be a No. 10 player.
"Game over! Game over!"
Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "The big score of 6:0 is very likely to be the biggest score in this round. Liverpool, with a six-goal difference, will most likely top the list. Many Liverpool fans may think so. It resonates that if no team surpasses Liverpool on goal difference in the first round, then...maybe no team will be ranked higher than Liverpool in the following 2018-2019 season.”
The Liverpool fans in front of the TV firmly agree with James' statement, but the world has never lacked talents, even if Liverpool's combat effectiveness is stronger than last season.
With the Brazilian national goalkeeper Alisson guarding the defense, Liverpool's conceding rate was significantly reduced. The fact that Liverpool was able to keep a clean sheet against West Ham United throughout the game was largely due to Alisson's outstanding performance and his high defense to keep the goal.
The most critical link has been supplemented, coupled with the strength of the striker, there will definitely not be many teams that can pose a threat to Liverpool in the 2018-2019 season.
The biggest score in the other five games played at the same time was Chelsea's 3-0 win over Huddersfield as a guest, which means that Liverpool, which beat West Ham United with six goals at home, ranked first with a goal difference advantage.
