Chapter 188 The Strongest Post-00s Generation, Leading by Three Goals?

Li Qing, who scored the goal, opened his arms as soon as he finished shooting, turned around and ran to the camera with full confidence, and his iconic shrug and helpless celebration was seen by every fan in front of the TV.

"Li Qing! Li Qing! Li Qing!!"

"Leeeeeeeee——"

Except for the French fans, the fans at the Jeonju World Cup Arena shouted Li Qing's name in the enthusiastic atmosphere of the game.

"The 11th goal! What an incredible achievement!"

Tianchao 5 commentator Xu Yang was shocked and said in a deep voice: "If young player Li Qing did not participate in the FA Cup final, would he have scored more goals in the entire World Youth Championship? 15? 18? The team that England U20 Youth Team faced in the second round was the Guinea U20 Youth Team, which was equivalent to the bottom team. According to his performance, he should have contributed at least a hat trick, right?"

"What an incredible young player!"

Commentator He Wei's voice rose several degrees: "Who would have thought that he was only sixteen years old? The strongest post-00s! It really lives up to his reputation! In the future, no young player will be able to surpass the various records created by Li Qing for a long time."

England U20 head coach Simpson finally breathed a sigh of relief after the team led by two goals. Leading by one goal is always the most insecure score in the world, only leading by two goals.

In sharp contrast, the French U20 head coach Radé, who was more than ten meters away, had a sad face and was clearly worried. He was not worried that the team would score, but that Li Qing would score again.

The team was already two goals behind. If Li Qing scored again, there would be no way to save the situation.

Radé looked up at the match time shown on the scoreboard. The first half was already coming to an end, so he immediately decided to ask the players to play steadily in the last minute of the first half, attack if there was a chance, and forget it if there was no chance, and wait until the halftime break.

Mbappé, the top star of the French U20 youth team, was somewhat dissatisfied with the tactical adjustment of the head coach Radé, but he knew that it would be difficult for the team to break the goal of the English U20 youth team in a short time, so he could only choose a relatively safe way of playing, so as not to be counterattacked by Li Qing using speed before the end of the first half.

If the team fell behind by three goals in the first half, there would be no way to play the game. After all, not everyone can create a shocking reversal like Liverpool.

With negative thoughts, Mbappe's edge weakened a lot. He didn't create any good opportunities until the end of the first half. On the contrary, Li Qing used his extraordinary speed and superb footwork to frequently create killing opportunities. If the first half had not ended in time, he might have performed a hat trick before the end of the first half.

With the whistle of Laos, the first half of the last semi-final of the 21st World Youth Championship in 2017 came to an end. The England U20 players who were leading by two goals were in a very good mood. They gathered in twos and threes and talked about happy things.

The French U20 players were all listless, and the biggest star Mbappe covered his face with his hands, giving people a feeling of not being able to face the French fans.

The fifteen-minute halftime break passed quickly, and the players of both sides returned to the court one after another. Compared with the end of the first half, the mood of the French U20 players has improved a lot. It is obvious that the head coach Radei did a lot of work during the halftime break.

England U20 head coach Simpson also did a lot of work during the halftime break. He did not make detailed arrangements for the second half of the game, but instead encouraged the players to be arrogant.

There have been many cases in world football where the team was ahead but was overtaken. The team he coached did not want to make such a low-level mistake, otherwise it would become a laughing stock for the rest of its life.

In the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship, eliminating the French U20 youth team means advancing to the finals!

How can we ignore such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

"Beep~"

Laos whistled a long whistle, and the French U20 youth team, which had the advantage of kicking off, quickly launched an offensive against the defensive half of the England U20 youth team under the leadership of Mbappe, wave after wave.

During the halftime break, Simpson thought that the French U20 youth team would use the advantage of kicking off to grab the start, so the scene only looked passive, and there was actually not much threat.

Mbappe completed a powerful volley outside the penalty area. The ball flew through the gap between people and hit the lower right corner of the goal along the grass. Goalkeeper Woodman was very focused. He subconsciously pressed his body down and flicked the ball with one hand. It was with this flick that the ball deviated from its original trajectory and went out of the bottom line along the outer edge of the right goal post.

"wowowoowooo——"

The French fans in the audience held their heads with both hands and burst into exclamations.

Watching the ball go out of the bottom line and hit the billboard outside the field, Mbappe felt incredible. Suddenly, he had done everything he could do. Unexpectedly... the opponent's goalkeeper made such a wonderful save.

Thinking back to our own goalkeeper Lafont, it was really annoying to compare with others!

Many defensive players of the England U20 youth team were excited to high-five Woodman and praise his god-level save.

"Andy Woodman saved the England national youth team!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's voice rose eight degrees.

With Woodman's thrilling save, England U20's defense has improved to a certain extent. Mbappe ran at full speed, but the opponent's defense was so strong that he really couldn't find even the slightest chance.

Li Qing seemed to have disappeared at the beginning of the second half due to the French U20's offensive, but no one dared to underestimate him, because once he appeared in the public's sight, he might score a goal!

After the first ten minutes of the second half, France U20 did not narrow the score and took the lead in making adjustments.

England U20 head coach Simpson did not make adjustments, he was ready to remain unchanged in the face of changes.

As time went on, Li Qing, who was affected by his physical fitness, consciously reduced his running, recovered his physical fitness, and was ready to use [Physical Potion] at any time.

2:0 looks safe, but it is actually not much less dangerous than 1:0.

Because once the French U20 youth team narrows the score, it is very likely that they will equalize the score in one go.

A few minutes later, a dead ball appeared on the field. The broadcast screen was given to Li Qing, and the football thrown by Arnold appeared on the screen. The fans sitting in front of the TV could see that Li Qing raised his left foot to knee height as if he was dribbling a ball, and took a step forward with his right foot, swinging his left foot before the defender arrived.

The football quickly flew through the air from the right to the left.

A black figure quickly passed the left side of the field, and the broadcast screen quickly caught up. Sky TV commentator Andy Gray suddenly shouted: "-Ademola Lookman!"

"Li's non-stop long pass accurately found his teammate who was running at high speed on the left!"

Commentator Martin Taylor looked at the assistant referee who did not raise the flag, and his voice rose eight degrees: "Single-handed!"
