Chapter 651 Lightning Goal

During the halftime break, Brighton fans kept cheering and singing the team song to build momentum for their home stadium and create an atmosphere.

In their opinion, no one scored in the first half, which was a victory for Brighton. After all, there are not many teams in the entire Premier League that can prevent Liverpool from scoring in the first half.

However, the commentators in the major live broadcast rooms were all interested in focusing on the confrontation between Li Qing and Murray in the first half.

"Hi, Andy, it seems that your signature sound is hard to be heard in the live studio today." Martin Taylor joked with Andy Gray, "How do you think the two teams will perform in the second half of the game?"

"Don't worry, Martin, with Lee on the field, it's only a matter of time before a goal is scored, even if it's not him!" Andy Gray seemed very confident in Liverpool, "Liverpool has a clear advantage today, and they will definitely be ahead of their opponents in the second half!"

BBC's Lineker boasted, "Even if Liverpool uses the genius Lee as a defender, he will score sooner or later, just like I did at the beginning. The genius Lee will definitely suppress Murray while continuing to create opportunities for Liverpool and win!"

In the locker room, Mane patted Li Qing on the shoulder, looking excited, "Li, when will you be able to play as a defender? Let's have a good match some other day. I didn't expect that you could defend against Murray!"

"What is he!" Li Qing sneered, "But are you sure you want to play with me? Aren't you afraid that I will abuse you so much that you want to retire?"

"Just brag!" Mane looked disgusted, "I'm not that stupid big guy like Murray. I will definitely abuse you so much that you don't want to play as a defender anymore!"

Klopp looked at the two people joking in the locker room with a smile on his face. He didn't expect that a bold attempt would work well, and the discovery that Li Qing could play as a defender gave Klopp more options.

It just allowed Li Qing to stabilize the defense, but the team's current offense failed to start, which made Klopp frown again. For a team, it can't always be one person who can score goals!

On the other side, Hughes was eloquent in front of the players, "Everyone played well in the first half, let's continue in the second half, Murray, you have to work hard next, do you have the confidence to score in the second half?"

"Uh, yes!" When Murray answered, even he felt weak in his tone, which made Hughes very dissatisfied.

"Murray, you have to play more aggressively, the opponent's number 10 can't defend you, you have to use your body and your skills reasonably!"

After Hughes instructed Murray, he turned his head and shouted to other players: "The second half is crucial for us and Liverpool. Whether we can get points depends on your performance next. Ending the opponent's winning streak and creating history depends on these 45 minutes!"

The halftime break was neither long nor short. After both sides came back on the court, Brighton kicked off and pressed towards Liverpool's half with the cheers of tens of thousands of fans in the stadium.

Ten minutes into the second half, Li Qing was very happy. He didn't understand why Murray had to rush to him after getting the ball.

Including the five times in the first half, this is the eighth time. Murray obviously can't break through his defense, but he insists on doing so. Li Qing turns around and blocks Murray behind him, and then Murray hits Li Qing again.

Murray didn't hit Li Qing, and stretched out his hand to signal the referee that Li Qing blocked the foul, but the referee shook his head directly, indicating that the game should continue. The referee saw clearly that Murray lost control of the ball first, and Li Qing's defense was very clean.

"wuwuwuuuuuuu——"

Boos were heard in the stands of the stadium. Li Qing looked up at the Brighton fans and smiled brightly.

Keep booing. The louder you boo, the happier I am. Anyway, I killed Murray, and your team can't score. There is no use booing louder!

The Brighton players on the field saw that Murray and Li Qing's eight duels all ended in failure. Obviously, Murray is not Li Qing's opponent. The Premier League top scorer is not in vain!

Gross didn't plan to pass the ball to Murray again. Time was running out. It was obviously meaningless to continue to let Murray and Li Qing entangle. We couldn't waste all the opportunities on one person.

Gross received the pass from the backcourt, a long pass, and immediately began to chase the ball. Robertson followed and the two started the duel on the side again.

Many Brighton players began to move forward. Murray, Stephens, and Nokadia all ran, and Van Dijk and others began to retreat.

Li Qing looked at Van Dijk who was chasing Murray, and then looked at Gross who was chasing the ball at high speed, and the corner of his mouth slightly pulled up a beautiful arc.

Van Dijk chased Murray, and Liverpool immediately had a gap in the middle, and the ball poked by Gross just fell into this gap.

Looking at Robertson who was struggling to chase Gross, Li Qing's heart was bright. Too many coincidences are not coincidences. The opponent is going to catch him off guard this time!

Li Qing did not hesitate and rushed directly to the direction where the ball landed. His talents [Wind Chaser] and [Speed ​​Maniac] were activated. Almost instantly, Li Qing appeared at the landing point of the ball. Then he activated his talent [Air Domination] and headed the ball out.

How is it possible? Gross, who was running over, widened his eyes and watched the ball bounce towards his half like a cannonball. He turned back subconsciously and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

After finally getting an attacking opportunity, Brighton's formation was obviously a bit too close, and even the defenders rushed into Liverpool's half.

But as soon as they rushed in, the ball flew to their own half, and at this moment, a figure rushed in at high speed and caught up with the ball in almost the blink of an eye.

Mane!

The Senegalese horse caught up with the ball at lightning speed. Seeing this, the Brighton goalkeeper, who had already walked outside the penalty area, immediately ran back, fearing that the opponent would kick a long shot.

But it was too late. When the Brighton goalkeeper turned around, Mane had already adjusted the ball under his feet, and then he took a long shot.

At least 35 meters away from the goal, Mane's long shot went straight to the far corner of the goal. The Brighton goalkeeper, who had not yet run to the penalty spot, looked at the ball bouncing in the goal with a look of despair.

The whole stadium was silent in an instant. No one expected that it was a very threatening attack by Brighton, but how could it become a goal for Liverpool in the blink of an eye?

And it was thanks to this lightning-fast goal that Liverpool defeated their opponent 1-0 away from home and won 21 consecutive league victories.
