Chapter 655 Goalkeeper

It was indeed a bit unexpected to lose the ball at the beginning of the game. Looking at the Liverpool players, especially Li Qing's arrogant "provocation" just now, the Tottenham players were suddenly furious.

Klopp looked at the field and seemed very calm. He looked at the Tottenham players who lost the ball, picked up the football from the goal and put it in the center circle, and shook his head slightly helplessly.

The game, including injury time, had at least more than 90 minutes, enough for Tottenham to equalize or even overtake.

Li Qing's goal just now was indeed earth-shattering, and it was enough to make Liverpool's current players excited, but whether they can withstand the opponent's counterattack next time is unknown.

Tottenham is not Bournemouth, especially Tottenham, who played almost all the main lineup today, aiming to win.

Li Qing put them behind so quickly and let Liverpool have an away goal. Tottenham will definitely counterattack frantically in the future, striving to score more goals to reduce their pressure to fight in Liverpool in the next round.

After a lesson, Tottenham's players began to strengthen the protection of the ball and teamwork. Liverpool began to be suppressed by the opponent. Tottenham players, led by Kane and Son Heung-min, tried their best to tie the score and then try to overtake.

Liverpool's goal began to be shaky, and Tottenham's attack began to become more and more sharp.

Tottenham's corner kick, Kane rushed to the front of the goal to compete for the header, but unfortunately the header was too straight, and the football was directly caught by Mignolet who was waiting for it.

Eriksen, Sissoko, Ali and Son Heung-min frequently broke through from the left and right sides of the field, constantly threatening Liverpool's penalty area. Except for the opening shot, the following time was completely a show of Tottenham pressing Liverpool's half.

Li Qing had retreated to the back line. The two central defenders of the youth team seemed a little flustered in the face of the Tottenham attack group that had been baptized by the fire of war.

But after Li Qing retreated to the back line, the originally shaky back line became much more stable.

Whether it was running, stealing, tackling or commanding defense, Li Qing played a stabilizing role on the field. With Milner and Curtis's interception in the frontcourt, Liverpool was at a disadvantage on the field, but did not let Tottenham get a chance.

Damn! When did that guy even play as a defender?

Son Heung-min punched the ground hard and climbed up from the grass. Just now, he tried to break through Li Qing with the ball, but was blocked by Li Qing in advance, and the ball was intercepted. He also suffered a little loss, which made Son Heung-min's anger even more vigorous.

Kane looked at Li Qing who was loudly commanding his teammates on the field, and sighed slightly in his heart. His national team partner is now more and more comprehensive. Not only can he become the team's offensive core, but now he can also become the defensive core!

Until the halftime break, the score on the field was still 1:0. Liverpool temporarily led the home team Tottenham in the away game.

No one expected this result before the game. In connection with Liverpool's away victory over Brighton in the last game, many fans were worried in their hearts. Could it be that Tottenham would repeat Brighton's mistakes today?

But they forgot one key point. Offense is always the best defense. The role of a superstar player on the field is not just to score goals, but to always be able to form enough deterrence to the opponent on the field.

Li Qing is such a superstar player. It is precisely because of his existence that Tottenham seemed to be attacking frantically in the first half, but in fact they were always afraid of Li Qing's existence.

At least because Li Qing was on the field, at least one player in Tottenham's back line and midfield did not dare to press too much.

As long as Li Qing was cruising in the frontcourt, he was constantly reminding the opponent's players to rush over if they were not afraid of losing the ball!

But in the 15th minute of the second half, Liverpool suffered a heavy blow and finally got a chance. Kane, who successfully countered offside, was knocked down by Mignolet when he broke into the penalty area alone. The referee directly sentenced him to death.

The penalty was bad enough, but what was worse was that Mignolet injured his hand and shoulder in the process of knocking down Kane, and he could not continue the game.

The Liverpool players on the field were dumbfounded, and Klopp on the sidelines was also dumbfounded, because everyone knew that Klopp did not bring a substitute goalkeeper in this game.

But Mignolet was injured, which meant that he had to replace or choose a player from the existing players as a temporary guest goalkeeper, but this person made Klopp feel difficult.

Among the players brought today, they were either substitutes or newcomers, and they were generally not tall. It can be said that there was no one who was suitable for the temporary guest goalkeeper position.

But time waits for no one, and the fourth official on the sidelines has begun to urge, and Klopp must make a decision immediately.

"Coach, let me do it." Li Qing stood up at this time, walked up to Klopp, and took the initiative to volunteer.

"You!" Klopp's eyes widened, and those who heard Li Qing say this were also dumbfounded. Li Qing is a goalkeeper, what kind of international joke is this?

But Li Qing showed that he was not joking with his actions.

Li Qing received the goalkeeper equipment directly from the Liverpool staff on the sidelines, and then put it on in front of Klopp.

Seeing Li Qing's actions, Klopp gritted his teeth. Now was not the time to hesitate. He could only try his best. So he waved to the warm-up area behind him, and then explained to the fourth official that Lallana should replace Mignolet.

"What is Liverpool doing? Why did Li Qing change his clothes?" The Tottenham players on the field noticed the scene on the sidelines and suddenly whispered.

When they noticed Li Qing put on his goalkeeper gear and walked towards Liverpool's goal, the Tottenham players on the field suddenly burst into an uproar.

Of course, there was an even louder uproar than the Tottenham players on the field, and there were also the exclamations of nearly 100,000 fans in the stadium.

Almost everyone saw that Li Qing was standing in front of the goal line, ready to save the penalty.

Liverpool actually sent their only player who could pose a threat to Tottenham on the field as a goalkeeper. What was Klopp thinking? Did he think that Li Qing, as a striker, could save the penalty kicks kicked by the striker?

Kane looked at Li Qing on the opposite side, and he was also puzzled. Logically speaking, in the current Liverpool team, except for Li Qing, anyone is suitable to be the goalkeeper, but why is it Li Qing? Is Liverpool ready to give up the game?

But letting Li Qing be the goalkeeper is to give up the game, I am afraid that this statement cannot even convince himself.

But no matter what, this goal is a sure win! Hearing the referee blow the whistle, Kane left the penalty area with a resolute look on his face, ready to take the penalty he created.
