Football: The strongest post-2000s Chapter 080

Liverpool’s morale was greatly boosted. The Chelsea players who had lost possession of the ball returned to their own half in single file, waiting for Liverpool’s attack. However, the home team, transitioning from defense to offense, was very direct. Henderson directly made a long pass to their right attacking flank.

The ball flew towards Li Qing, the goal scorer. It was unclear if Marcos Alonso was affected by the lost goal and became emotional. When Li Qing had already secured his position, Alonso made a clear forceful charge from behind, knocking Li Qing directly out of bounds.

The referee, Clattenburg, immediately blew his whistle and instantly stopped Firmino, who was clearly angry, giving Marcos Alonso a yellow card for the foul.

Klopp was very close to the foul spot and clearly saw Marcos Alonso make a deliberate forward charge, which was obviously retaliation for Li Qing’s nutmeg earlier. So he was very angry, pointing at Marcos Alonso and roaring, “Useless! You can’t even beat a kid, what’s the use of you staying on the field? Go home!”

Marcos Alonso felt guilty and ignored Klopp. The live director quickly showed a slow-motion replay. Le Sports commentator, Zhan Jun, said in a deep voice, “Marcos Alonso’s action was really uncalled for, a bit nasty.”

“A red card wouldn’t be excessive!”

Sky Sports commentator, Andy Gray, said angrily.

Klopp saw that Li Qing was fine, and his anger subsided a lot, but he felt it wasn’t enough to vent, so he turned to face the away team’s coaching area and roared at Conte.

“Are you crazy?”

Conte was clearly not an easy target and retorted.

Seeing that the two head coaches were about to curse each other off the field, the fourth official and the assistant coaches of both sides played a crucial role, pulling their respective head coaches back.

Li Qing first calmed down coach Klopp, then looked coldly at Marcos Alonso, thinking, “You want to use a foul to intimidate me? Let’s see how I’ll make you doubt your life later!”

A minute later, the ball came to Liverpool’s right attacking flank. Clyne, who had received the ball, quickly ran horizontally towards the center after passing the ball to Li Qing. Li Qing, who was originally planning a combination play, realized that this was Clyne creating a one-on-one opportunity for him.

Marcos Alonso instantly felt a pang of guilt. From Li Qing’s previous goal, his footwork was excellent, and Clyne’s run temporarily deprived him of his teammates’ support.

Li Qing lightly pushed the ball forward with the outside of his left foot, his feet moving rapidly, his center of gravity continuously shifting with the frequency of his step-overs, giving the impression that he could break through at any moment.

Marcos Alonso retreated, not knowing what to do.

Just then, Li Qing made the choice for him. He saw his left toe suddenly poke the middle of the ball. The ball, under force, quickly rolled along the grass towards the byline.

Marcos Alonso knew Li Qing was fast and had ample stamina. Turning to defend, he was almost certain he wouldn’t catch up; only a foul would work.

But just as he made half a move, he remembered the yellow card he had already received. If he deliberately fouled again, although Clattenburg was considered the worst of the four blind referees in the Premier League, no one could say for sure if he would receive another yellow card.

Thinking of this, Marcos Alonso’s left foot, which was about to move, was pulled back. He watched helplessly as Li Qing raced along the touchline towards the byline.

Kante had already started paying attention when Li Qing received the ball. Seeing him nutmeg his teammate Marcos Alonso and accelerate towards their defensive left flank, he preemptively positioned himself in Li Qing’s inevitable path to the box.

Li Qing regained control of the ball. As he prepared to enter the box, he saw Kante already in position. He glanced around and saw that his teammates were not in good positions. He suddenly used the inside of his left instep to drag the ball to the right, appearing as if he was going to accelerate and break through from the byline.

Kante’s explosiveness and anticipation were both strong. He followed Li Qing’s dribbling rhythm to defend. However, Li Qing extended his right foot, stopping the ball in place, and then continued to control the ball with his familiar left foot.

At this point, Marcos Alonso had already returned to defend, indirectly causing Kante to relax his guard a bit.

Li Qing lowered his right shoulder, feigning a breakthrough from the byline. Kante reacted very quickly, moving towards the byline in advance, but Li Qing did not break through. He made a feint, pushed off the ground with the front of his right foot, forcefully twisted his center of gravity, and pushed the ball with the outside of his left foot.

“Now!”

Kante was very experienced in defense and his anticipation was extremely accurate. Confirming that Li Qing was going to force his way between him and Marcos Alonso, he used his incredible explosiveness to forcefully twist his center of gravity back and move to the right.

Li Qing’s mouth curved slightly upwards. Using the flexibility of his ankle, his left foot quickly moved in front of the ball, which was moving to the left-front. With a strong flick of the inside of his foot, the ball, which seemed to be rolling to the left-front, suddenly rolled to the right, much like a flicked cow’s tail.

“Roulette!”

Le Sports commentator Zhan Jun exclaimed.

“aoaooaoaooaooo——”

The Liverpool fans at Anfield instantly erupted in excitement due to Li Qing’s highly entertaining dribbling move, releasing astonishing energy that quickly swept across the entire stadium.

Kante, realizing that Li Qing was going to break through from the byline, made a desperate attempt. He pushed off with his right foot, and the huge reactive force caused him to move about half a meter towards the byline, hoping to block the ball.

However, Li Qing’s feet were like a magician’s hands, turning decay into magic. His raised right foot once again changed the ball’s trajectory. Liverpool fans in the KOP stand clearly saw the ball pass between the legs of the fallen Kante.

“A brilliant breakthrough! He’s dribbling past Kante!”

Kante’s pupils suddenly contracted. He watched helplessly as Li Qing entered the penalty area along the byline. Marcos Alonso and Gary Cahill both frantically rushed towards Li Qing.

Li Qing, controlling the ball inside the box, glanced at his teammates Firmino and Mane who had entered the box. David Luiz and Azpilicueta’s hearts sank, and they tried to block Li Qing’s passing angles.

Matic, who had returned to the box, grabbed Wijnaldum, preventing Li Qing from making a cut-back pass.

With all his teammates who could shoot being marked, Li Qing didn’t know whether to pass or continue to break through. In a flash of lightning, his wide vision brightened.

The usual choice from the right side of the small box and the byline area is only a pass, so he could exploit that!

Li Qing suddenly swung his left foot, striking the lower-middle part of the ball with his instep.

No one expected Li Qing to choose to shoot from a position where only a pass was expected!

David Luiz thought Li Qing was going to cross in front of the goal, so he put his hands behind his back, trying to maximize his blocking area.

“Boom”

The ball, soaring into the air like a cannonball, quickly shot towards the near post, skimming David Luiz’s chest.

Goalkeeper Courtois had absolutely no idea that Li Qing would choose to take such a powerful shot from that angle. By the time he saw the ball, which had gone from small to large, appear in front of him, it was already too late to react.

The ball violently crashed into the snow-white net, grazing the right goalpost, and only fell down when its kinetic energy was exhausted…_
