Chapter 187 Riding Alone to Break Through the Level, Equaling the Record Set 16 Years Ago!
In fact, it is not surprising that the players of the French U20 youth team would have negative thoughts, because as long as Li Qing's team leads, it will naturally win the game.
With superb personal skills and lightning-fast speed, he is an excellent player for quick counterattacks. In every game in the past, he scored a lot of counterattack goals by strengthening the opponent's offense.
If the score is behind, the offense will inevitably be strengthened, and strengthening the offense will leave Li Qing with a lot of counterattack space.
"Hey~"
France U20 head coach Radet made detailed arrangements before the game, and also thought about the situation of falling behind in the score first, so he just frowned and did not lose confidence in the game.
However, the confidence of the players on the field needs to be eased. He ran to the edge of the coach's command area, and even stepped directly into the field with his right foot, shouting at the players on the field: "Little guys, don't be discouraged! The game has just started not long ago, we still have enough time to equalize the score, or even overtake! The final spot must belong to our great France!"
Young people are easily encouraged. After all, the chicken soup of head coach Radet is more delicious.
The biggest star Mbappé also clapped his hands and called out to his teammates: "Guys, we still have time to equalize and overtake! Believe me, just give me the ball! I'll do the rest!"
With Mbappé standing up, the other players gathered their minds and prepared for the next game.
The game resumed. The French U20 youth team, which had the advantage of kicking off, did not organize the attack mindlessly, but penetrated forward through orderly passing. They were not in a hurry to attack at all, and often passed the ball more to pass the ball safely.
Mbappé worked very hard. After receiving the ball in the two ribs, he chose to create opportunities through his excellent personal footwork, but England U20 youth team coach Simpson had targeted defensive deployments against him, and it was easy to lose control of the ball in the face of multiple defenses.
Even if he could barely control the ball, he lost the best offensive opportunity.
The England U20 youth team, which was leading the score, played more and more confidently under the leadership of Li Qing. The defense was impeccable and the offense was orderly. The fans in the audience cheered one after another. The game time passed quickly in the constant offense and defense conversion between the two sides, and soon came to the end of the first half.
The scoreboard showed that the England U20 youth team was still 1:0 ahead of the French U20 youth team.
As the time in the first half was getting shorter and shorter, the players of the French U20 youth team played more and more impatiently. The star player Mbappe had no better way. The offense began to try long shots. The defense against Li Qing was no longer a human sea tactic, but a very direct foul.
In this way, two players of the French U20 youth team had received yellow cards for defending Li Qing.
Head coach Radé frowned, not knowing what to do.
Another attack was fruitless. The England U20 youth team switched from defense to offense. The ball was soon handed to Li Qing's feet. The fans in the audience once again created a huge and violent cheer like a tsunami.
"aoaoaoaoaoooo——"
He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, was in high spirits and shouted: "The ball was given to Li Qing. Will he bring us new surprises in the next game?"
Li Qing accelerated instantly when he turned to meet the ball. The player defending him already had a yellow card, so he directly dribbled the ball and changed direction, speeding up to attack the right rib. The defensive player stretched out his foot and tripped him. Perhaps because of the yellow card on his back, he did not raise his foot high enough, which only made the accelerated Li Qing stagger a little.
When the referee Laos saw that Li Qing did not fall to the ground, he continued to run forward and raised his arms horizontally forward, meaning that the attack was favorable and the game continued!
The French U20 youth team switched from offense to defense. There were few defensive players. After Li Qing broke through one, only two central defenders were left struggling.
They looked at each other in panic, not knowing what to do next.
Li Qing crossed the center line with the ball and rushed to the left center back Jamie Ruiz without slowing down. Another center back Mukudi quickly approached Jamie Ruiz, obviously to prepare for backup defense.
Li Qing, who was dribbling at high speed and approaching the center, suddenly used the inside of his left foot to dunk the ball to the right front. Jamie Ruiz turned his body to the left rib of his own defense as Li Qing changed direction, but he didn't expect Li Qing's choice to be so simple and rough.
As soon as the change of direction was completed, Li Qing used the outside of his left foot to dribble the ball forward more than ten meters. Jamie Ruiz, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, was obviously weaker in explosiveness and speed than Li Qing.
The fans in the audience were all concentrating and holding their breath, watching Li Qing use his superior speed to force Jamie Ruiz. Li Qing, who was running at full speed, was like a white lightning passing by the main stand at high speed.
He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, exclaimed: "He runs so fast!"
Ladai sent out the central defenders of Jaime Ruiz and Mukudi to increase the speed of returning to defense, but... they still couldn't close the distance with Li Qing, and the distance between them became larger and larger.
This means that Jaime Ruiz and Mukudi couldn't commit a foul, and could only watch Li Qing approach goalkeeper Lafont at high speed.
The talented goalkeeper Lafont from Toulouse couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He was an absolute genius in Ligue 1, but Li Qing was a genius among geniuses, and he won the Premier League top scorer at a young age.
It was clear who was stronger and who was weaker!
Jamie Lewis, frustrated, stopped where he was, and just let his teammate Mukudi return to defense at high speed.
In his opinion, returning to defense was just a waste of energy.
Li Qing's single-handed goal rate was 100%, how to chase?
Count on Lafont?
Forget it!
Li Qing dribbled the ball very fast, and it took him about 30 meters away from the goal in a few seconds. Goalkeeper Lafont did not dare to abandon the goal to attack. In the past, countless colleagues had been humiliated by Li Qing's lobs and dribbling. He... didn't want to be teased by the fans after dinner again.
Li Qing saw that Lafont had no intention of attacking, and he dribbled the ball to the penalty area without slowing down.
He didn't slow down until he reached the penalty area. Lafont took a defensive stance, his mouth slightly raised, his right foot stepped forward, and his left foot lifted.
"Boom~"
The football flew towards the goal like a cannonball. Lafont half opened his mouth and wanted to raise his hand, but realized that the ball was too fast, so he could only watch the football hit the snow-white net.
"Goooooooooooal——"
The iconic elongated voice of Sky TV commentator Andy Gray resounded throughout the live studio.
"Lee's eleventh goal in this World Cup! He tied the record of the most goals in a single World Youth Championship created by Javier Saviola in the 2001 Argentina World Youth Championship! There is still one and a half games before the end of Lee's World Youth Championship, which means... he can definitely create his own goal record!"
Commentary guest Martin Taylor was ecstatic.
He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, shouted: "The semi-final of the World Youth Championship has become a one-man show for Li Qing! His double goal helped the England U20 youth team to extend the score to two goals! At the same time, his personal goal tally in this World Youth Championship has reached 11, tying the goal record set by 'Rabbit' Saviola!"
