Xhaka was confident in his tackle, even someone as strong as Giroud would be stumbled forward a few steps. He didn’t expect Li Qing to not be tackled out of bounds with the ball, which greatly surprised him.

Klopp, in the home team’s dugout, was standing near where Xhaka fouled Li Qing, and he saw the action clearly.

Originally, he was going to loudly complain about Xhaka’s rough tackle, but Li Qing stumbled two steps without falling, and his attention immediately returned to Li Qing, who was controlling the ball.

Wenger felt a little relieved. Xhaka’s tackle was clearly aimed at Li Qing, and according to football rules, it should have been a yellow card.

Fortunately, Li Qing didn’t fall in pain, otherwise a yellow card would have been inevitable. He looked at Li Qing and showed a rare smile for this match: “Still too young.”

Just then, with his back to the attacking right sideline, Li Qing used his right heel to flick the ball backward. The ball flew under Xhaka’s right ribs, who was contemplating life, and accurately found Coutinho.

The ball came to the attacking right flank, where there was much more space. Xhaka stopped contemplating life and turned to pounce on Coutinho, who was receiving the ball.

Coutinho, with a wide vision and strong game-reading ability, did not control the ball. He directly passed it to Wijnaldum in the middle, who then passed it to Milner, who had pulled to the left.

Make good use of the width of the field!

Li Qing’s substitute appearance attracted several Arsenal defenders, which led to a lack of Arsenal player defense for Milner, who received the ball on the left. According to manager Wenger’s pre-match tactical instructions, right-back Bellerin was supposed to switch positions with left-back Monreal, but when the ball came to the defensive right, Bellerin, who had moved to the center, had to return to the right.

Milner carried the ball into the attacking thirty-meter zone before slowing down. Facing the incredibly fast Bellerin, he chose to pass the ball to Emre Can in the middle.

Arsenal’s defensive left-wing players automatically moved towards the center. Li Qing, unmarked, ran forward along the right wing.

After a few passes, Mané on the left shook off Bellerin and delivered a cross. Mustafi overpowered Firmino to clear with a header. The ball flew towards the edge of the penalty area. Coquelin, in position, headed backward, and the ball flew thirty meters from the goal.

Wijnaldum saw the incoming ball and directly used the inside of his left instep to cushion the ball to Li Qing, who was unmarked on the right.

“Leeeeeeeeeeee——”

The Liverpool fans at Anfield subconsciously stretched out their voices, cheering for their new favorite.

Arsenal’s defenders’ hearts sank, and they all thought of the highlights of Li Qing’s match they had seen before the game. Monreal and Xhaka quickly stepped forward to defend.

Manager Wenger saw the ball flying towards Li Qing, and his hands naturally clenched tightly, clearly a bit nervous.

From his perspective, Li Qing was unmarked.

Monreal and Xhaka repositioning themselves to defend was like a temporary patchwork, and their distances to Li Qing were inconsistent, meaning Li Qing might be able to break through them one by one in this situation.

Li Qing used the outside of his left foot to tap Wijnaldum’s pass into the ribs, actively dribbling towards Monreal.

Monreal was experienced in defense and knew what to do in this situation.

Facing Li Qing dribbling forward, he chose to engage, while keeping his attention on his right side, which was Li Qing’s cutting-in route.

According to what he knew before the game, Li Qing was a, and it was impossible for him to go to the byline on the attacking right.

Just then, Li Qing’s right shoulder dropped. Monreal’s heart stirred, and his body instinctively wanted to pounce towards the byline, but in a flash, he remembered that Li Qing was left-footed and almost never went to the byline, so he was more inclined to believe it was a feint of Li Qing’s center of gravity.

The next moment, Li Qing used the inside of his left instep to cut the ball towards the byline. Monreal realized what was happening but could only sigh in admiration.

His explosive power was too strong!

Xhaka had intended to double-team Li Qing’s cut-in with Monreal, but Li Qing chose to break through to the byline, so he had to make a turn and pounce on Li Qing, who was dribbling into the penalty area from the outside.

Center-back Mustafi quickly covered the defensive gap left by Monreal, and the Arsenal players in the penalty area immediately became nervous.

The Liverpool players inside and outside the penalty area were like wild horses, breaking up and looking for open space.

Li Qing, who had entered the penalty area, looked up at the penalty area and then swung his left foot.

Xhaka, who had sprinted to cover in the penalty area, reacted almost without thinking, his body instinctively responding, his left foot moving forward, attempting to block Li Qing’s pass.

But Li Qing didn’t pass. He quickly lowered his left foot, flicked the ball outward with the outside of his foot, creating distance from Xhaka, then lightly tapped it horizontally towards the middle of the penalty area, took a step forward with his right foot, and swung his left foot again.

“Oh-My-God” Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray exclaimed: “Should I say Granit Xhaka was too reckless, or was Li’s feint too realistic? Beautiful! A shot?”

Compared to the angle he had after shaking off Xhaka, this angle was more suitable for a shot.

Mustafi, who had come to cover, did not dare to be negligent. His excellent positioning allowed him to stand a meter away from Li Qing, with his hands behind his back, trying his best to block Li Qing’s shooting angle with his body.

Goalkeeper Cech clearly realized that Li Qing had a shooting angle. He held his breath, lowered his center of gravity, and kept his eyes fixed on the ball.

Wenger, standing in the away team’s coaching area, was despairing at Mustafi’s defensive move. Even from so far away, he could tell that Li Qing’s move was a feint, so why did Mustafi fall for it?

Li Qing’s movement was exactly as Wenger predicted. He habitually feigned a shot and then cut, using the inside of his left instep to cut the ball towards the right side of the six-yard box and the byline.

“Shot——”

New Sports commentator Jin Xiang Kai’s tone suddenly changed: “Another feigned shot and cut! Li Qing has shaken off Mustafi and is directly facing goalkeeper Cech, what will he do?”

Suddenly, the Arsenal players in the penalty area became incredibly nervous.

Li Qing, who caught up with the ball, did not shoot. His right foot was his non-dominant foot, so he used the instep of his right foot to quickly sweep the ball towards the middle of the penalty area.

The ball rapidly rolled along the ground towards the center of the six-yard box. Firmino, who had already run to the near post, pushed the ball with the instep of his right foot before Koscielny could block it.

The ball, changing its trajectory, quickly rolled towards the near post. Goalkeeper Cech, facing such a close-range shot, could not react and could only watch helplessly as the ball rolled along the inside of the right goalpost into the net…

“Goal!”

LeSports commentator Zhan Jun was ecstatic: “Firmino scores his second goal of the match! The score is now 3:1! Liverpool lead by two goals again!”

Firmino, who scored the goal, was very excited. He turned and ran towards Li Qing, and the two embraced to celebrate the goal.

“Klopp’s substitution once again demonstrates to fans worldwide what it means to make a game-changing substitution! Li Qing, who came on as a substitute, assisted Firmino’s goal in his first attack!”

At this point, Zhan Jun changed his tone: “However, for Liverpool fans, this goal was both expected and unexpected.”_
