Chapter 503 The only boy in England who conquered the away game
The first player selected in the 2018-2019 UEFA Champions League group draw and UEFA Champions League awards ceremony is the best forward in the UEFA Champions League. There is no suspense about this award. Li Qing, who contributed 26 goals and 7 assists in the 2017-2018 season, was successfully selected.
Under the attention of the frontcourt guests, football celebrities and current players, Li Qing stood up slowly, adjusted the black suit jacket tailored for him by Armani, coughed lightly, and walked onto the podium.
The award after the best forward is the best midfielder. This award was won by Real Madrid midfielder Modric. The best defender was Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk. The best goalkeeper should have been Karius, but unfortunately he won in the final. Committing two huge mistakes, the best goalkeeper changed hands and became the possession of Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas.
There is no suspense about the best player in the Champions League and the best forward. Li Qing contributed 26 goals and 7 assists in 12 games. He was the biggest contributor to Liverpool regaining the Champions League title after 13 years. Therefore, there is no suspense about this award.
Once again, under the attention of the entire audience, Li Qing strolled onto the stage to receive his personal silver trophy symbolizing the best player in the Champions League.
The best women's player was won by Wolfsburg women's football player Harder, and the UEFA Fair Play Award was won by Georgia captain Kashia.
All individual awards have their own names, and next is the Champions League group drawing ceremony that fans around the world are paying attention to.
Defending Champions League champion Liverpool was drawn into Group C. The other three opponents in the same group were very limited, namely Lyon, Shakhtar and Hoffenheim. It was a very good draw.
Liverpool drew well, but the other two teams from the Premier League fell into the death group.
Tottenham were drawn into Group B with Barcelona, Eindhoven and Inter Milan, Manchester City were drawn into Group C with Paris Saint-Germain, Naples and Red Star Belgrade. In addition, Group A was also considered a group of death, with Atletico Madrid drawn together. , Dortmund, Monaco and Club Brugge.
There are a total of eight groups, including three groups of death, which will definitely attract the attention of media and fans around the world, especially Manchester City, which was once again drawn into the group of death, which is embarrassing.
In the past, Manchester City has always violated the Financial Fair Play rules implemented by UEFA and has been targeted by UEFA. It has been drawn into the death group many times. What Manchester City fans did not expect was that after finally calming down UEFA's anger, they were drawn into the group of death again. …
Of course, this is not particularly stressful for Guardiola and Manchester City players. Whether it is Paris Saint-Germain or Naples, it may only bring pressure to Manchester City without posing an actual threat.
The group qualified, why not?
The 2018-2019 UEFA Champions League group draw and UEFA Champions League awards ceremony have ended. The coaches and players who participated in the ceremony returned to their respective teams one after another to prepare for the last domestic league game before the international match day in September.
And league teams other than the Premier League are also working hard to complete buzzer-beating transfers to create greater possibilities for the new 2018-2019 season.
Liverpool's visit to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City in the fourth round of the 2018-2019 Premier League season is at 12:30 noon on September 1, which is 7:30 pm Imperial time, a very suitable time for Chinese fans to watch the live broadcast.
The focus of Leicester City's home game against Liverpool was also the first game of the fourth round. It attracted a lot of attention. It can even be said that fans who like to watch football games focused on this event.
Liverpool has been unbeaten for 57 games across seasons in the past. If they can remain unbeaten as a guest at the King Power Stadium, the record will be raised to 58 games. Leicester City, who is sitting at home, naturally does not like that Liverpool's record is set on their own head. , so the entire Leicester City team is in high spirits, and the fans in the audience are also full of passion.
Leicester City, which is sitting at home, has sent out its strongest lineup, with goalkeeper Schmeichel, defenders Chilwell, Maguire, Morgan and Pereira, double midfielders Mendy and Ndidi, and forward Albrighton. , Madison and Gray, with Vardy at the front.
Except for Joe Gomez replacing Matip, no other positions in Liverpool have changed.
Leicester City head coach Pierre was concentrating and holding his breath from the first second of the game, and his fists were naturally clenched, fearing that any slack would cause the team to lose the ball.
The Leicester City players played very hard on the field, and did not neglect the fight because of the large discrepancy in strength between them. On the contrary, they were still very motivated, as if they wanted to compete with the league leader Liverpool.
In order to avoid conceding goals, Liverpool played relatively conservatively at the beginning and focused on defense.
Li Qing enjoys the same treatment as other English stadiums, which many teammates do not have. As long as he gets the ball, there will be loud and violent shouts like a tsunami.
"aoaoaoaooaooooooo——"
Liverpool survived Leicester City's opening three blows and began to organize an attack on a large scale. The football came to Li Qing's feet again, and a burst of cheers rang out above the King Power Stadium.
The aura of fanaticism that hit his face made Li Qing somewhat embarrassed. After all... this was Leicester City's home ground.
In order to repay the love of the home fans, he decided... to score a goal.
Li Qing, who was being defended by Ndidi and Mendy, did not choose to dribble forward. Instead, he used the outside instep of his right foot to push the football forward. The football was given to Salah, who was retreating to receive the ball. Arnold pulled it on. Chilwell's attention was completely attracted by Arnold. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Salah took the inside line from the attacking right rib.
Mendy had to make up for the defense, and Ndidi only paid some attention to Li Qing, after all, Salah's ability to get the ball and break through was also very strong.
"wuwuuwuwuuuuuuuu——"
The boos were overwhelming, and Salah, who was dribbling, was not affected at all. He made a false impression of going to the penalty area to deceive Maguire to take a step back. Salah changed his tactics quickly, flicked the outside of his left foot, opened up the space, and swung his left foot.
Mendy was glad that he had a prediction in advance, quickly made up for the position, and stretched his legs to block Salah's long-range shot.
Salah quickly put down his raised left foot and flicked it to the left. The angle was about 90 degrees from the goal, and the angle was larger. Ndidi, who was defending Li Qing, shrank his pupils, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he moved over.
Li Qing suddenly started, accelerating from the middle to the right front, that is, the right side of the top of the penalty area.
Salah attracted Ndidi and Mendy to defend, and without any hesitation, he raised his left foot and quickly dropped it. This time, he no longer flicked the ball to the left, but used his heel to knock the ball behind him.
"wowowowoooooooo——"
The boos over the Royal Power Stadium were instantly replaced by exclamations.
The target of Salah's left heel knocking the ball was Li Qing, Liverpool's most capable scorer!
At this time, he was unguarded!
This... is the most terrifying place.
Li Qing stood outside the top circle of the penalty area with his left foot, and quickly raised his right foot, hitting the football like drawing a bow and arrow. A muffled sound of 'Boom' suddenly exploded, and the football rose from the ground with great force and flew quickly to the upper right corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Schmeichel's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously made a side dive on the spot. However, the power and angle of the football kicked by Li Qing were excellent, and the lack of arm span caused by his lack of height restricted his save distance. When his body momentum came to an abrupt end, his fingertips were at least ten centimeters away from the football...
These ten centimeters are a world of difference.
"Gooooooooooooooal——"
Accompanied by the iconic elongated voice of Sky TV commentator Andy Gray, the Leicester City fans at the King Power Stadium also burst into thunderous applause for Li Qing's outstanding performance.
Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun smiled and said: "Li Qing is likely to be the only player in the Premier League who can conquer away fans! No... Now it is most appropriate to describe him as the king of football."
