Chapter 585 Replace the Trident

In the 63rd minute of the game, Everton player Sigurdsson's long shot in front of the penalty area was confiscated by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson. Klopp made a gesture to the bench on the sidelines, Li Qing, Stu Rich and others began to warm up.

Klopp's signal undoubtedly gave the fans a clear signal that the king of Anfield is about to appear!

In fact, Klopp does feel the pressure now. Today's game is not only the Merseyside derby, but also his bold attempt this season, the first time he uses Li Qing in an important Premier League game.

But it turns out that Salah, who played for Liverpool for the 50th time, messed up his milestone game. He had many opportunities in the game, but they were all wasted.

The same goes for Mane and Salah. They seemed lost on the court. Their previous sharp breakthrough shots were not reflected at all in this game. The only few shots they took were only long shots from outside the penalty area. And most of them fired anti-aircraft guns.

Among the frontcourt trident, only Firmino's performance barely passed, but for Klopp, barely passing means failing, so he is determined to make changes.

Now in the stands of the stadium, the team's senior officials are watching with wide eyes. He does not dare to take risks. After all, the first goal of the season is to win the league championship again. Before the winter break, he must hand in a perfect answer to the club. .

After receiving the signal from the coach on the sidelines, captain Van Dijk kicked the ball out of the sideline. The linesman immediately signaled the referee Liverpool to make substitutions. Salah was replaced by Li Qing, and Firmino was replaced by Sturi. Qi came off and Lallana replaced Mane.

The front three were all replaced at the same time in the same game. This was the first time at Anfield.

However, Klopp's move did not cause any objection from the fans in the stands, because today Liverpool's starting trident performed really unsatisfactory.

However, the reason why the fans had no objections and felt excited was because the three people who took the field were all members of the Three Lions.

As a traditional giant of British football, Liverpool has always provided fresh blood to the national team.

Now being criticized by countless English people, saying that the Premier League and each team are destroying the foundation of the Three Lions for their own performance, Liverpool will definitely not lose to the top teams.

You must know that England's main forwards, midfielders and defenders are all from Liverpool. Li Qing, Henderson, Milner, Lallana, Gomez and Alexander-Arnold are almost all core players on the three lines on the field.

Looking at other teams, except for Tottenham, some Premier League teams have almost no players selected for the Three Lions, and even if some players are selected for the Three Lions, their positions in their respective clubs are relatively embarrassing.

For example, Rashford is the main substitute in Manchester United's current lineup, while Manchester City's Foden still has limited time to feel the atmosphere of the game.

But in Liverpool, Gomez and Alexander-Arnold are already Liverpool's iron starters, Li Qing is the core of Liverpool, Henderson and Milner are Liverpool's captains, and these people are also important parts of the England national team.

So when Li Qing, Lallana and Sturridge came on the stage, many fans in the stands applauded these three Three Lions members.

Salah, Mane and Firmino were all a little frustrated. They knew that they did not perform well in today's derby, and they had no complaints about being substituted.

As soon as Li Qing came on the field, Van Dijk stepped forward and returned the captain's armband to him, and at the same time said: "Don't worry about defense, hurry up and deal with these damn guys."

Hearing Van Dyke's words, Li Qing smiled and patted Van Dyke's side, turned around and ran towards the frontcourt. The referee signaled for the game to continue.

The broadcast screen on the field was focused on Li Qing at the right time. This is the most commonly used method at Anfield Stadium today. The fans on the field were instantly excited.

With everyone watching, Li Qing suddenly accelerated as soon as he came on the field and unexpectedly stole the ball in the midfield from Everton player Lukeman, who had just replaced Everton.

This was a steal that no one expected. No one would have thought that Li Qing, who had just come on the field, would immediately exert his strength and take the initiative to press in the midfield. Everton instantly lost control of the ball.

Mina immediately tackled Li Qing, but Li Qing moved faster than him. Li Qing thrust his right foot forward, turned around easily and avoided Mina's fierce tackle, followed by several strides to catch up. After taking the ball, he approached Everton's penalty area.

"Go back to defense, take a good position and mark people!" Michael Keane loudly ordered his teammates to return to defense while running towards Li Qing. The former Manchester United youth training defender did not allow the team to drop immediately after the opponent made a substitution. chain.

Li Qing's stature was shorter, and Keen, who knew how powerful Li Qing was, didn't dare to be careless at all, let alone make a move casually. He just wanted to rush to Li Qing and block his opponent from the front.

But what Li Qing just did in front of Keane was just a feint. When he saw Keane speeding towards him, he immediately stopped suddenly, twisted his body, dribbled the ball laterally and cut inside, with only a slight adjustment at his feet. Then he took a long shot directly outside the penalty area.

It was a shot! Keane rushed forward, trying to block the shot with his body, but he was already a step too late. The kicked ball quickly drew an arc in the air.

"This kick should be too big!" Pickford, standing near the goal post, paid attention to the flight path of the ball and made a judgment immediately, but still moved quickly, stretched his body, and headed in the direction of the ball falling. Pounce.

At this time, the camera on the big screen in the stadium was still focused on Li Qing, so this time Li Qing's inside shot after the breakthrough was clearly seen by the tens of thousands of fans at the scene.

The fans present could also see that Li Qing's shot was a little too focused on the angle and wanted to avoid the England goal and hit the far corner. Therefore, the arc of the shot in the air was obviously towards the outside of the field.

However, this was Li Qing's first shot, and the fans at the scene gave Li Qing warm applause for his aggressive attack.

Klopp on the sidelines also noticed it at this time, but he carefully looked at the arc of the ball flying in the air, his eyes couldn't help but dilate, and he couldn't help but run to the sidelines. The assistant coach and substitute players on the bench noticed the head coach's gesture. Action, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Salah and others who had just been substituted also thought that this goal could not be scored, but seeing Klopp's unusual behavior, they could not help but stand up and look towards the field.

At this moment, Pickford also noticed an abnormality in the air, but his body had already begun to fall. The ball was right in front of him, falling into the dead center of the far post and directly into the net. The whole field suddenly fell into silence...
