Chapter 189 Mbappe's Counterattack and New Goal Record

Li Qing's long pass was very accurate, and he even gave a certain amount of lead time considering Lukman's relatively fast absolute speed. Since all the attention of the French U20 youth team was on the defensive left side where Li Qing was, a huge gap appeared on the defensive right side of the team.

French U20 head coach Radei looked over as the ball moved, and his heart suddenly "clicked", as if something was broken.

Lukman, who was running at high speed, stopped the ball forward, and his feet were like a sports car running at full speed, leaving the dust behind.

Goalkeeper Radei was very nervous, but he had no choice but to wait for the opportunity to abandon the goal and attack. After all, Lukman was not Li Qing, and he might not score even if he had a single shot.

He saw Lukman dribbling the ball from the offensive left side to the left rib, getting closer and closer to the penalty area, and he was eager to try, ready to abandon the goal and attack to complete the key block.

In a flash, Lukman was less than two meters away from the penalty area. He slowed down his dribbling speed and adjusted his footsteps. Goalkeeper Lafont abandoned the goal and attacked.

Unexpectedly, Lukman raised his left foot just halfway through his attack.

At the same time, Mukudi, who was gritting his teeth and chasing hard, burst out with a faster speed, thinking of putting more pressure on Lukman.

Goalkeeper Lafont rushed forward at full speed, trying to form a double ghost hitting the door with central defender Mukudi, but Lukman did not shoot with his raised left foot, but pushed the ball horizontally to the middle with the arch of his foot.

Lafont's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he realized something. He turned his head to look at the middle as the football moved, and saw the high-speed forward Solanke affecting the football.

"NO!"

In the case that all the French did not want to see, Solanke drew his bow and arrow, and gently pushed with his right foot, and the football rolled towards the unguarded goal at a slower speed along the grass.

"The ball is in! The ball is in!"

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, shouted: "Solanke helped the England U20 Youth Team to secure the victory! They are leading the France U20 Youth Team 3:0!"

At this point, he changed the subject and shouted at a higher decibel, almost madly: "This goal is mainly due to Li Qing's broad vision. He saw Lukeman on the left at high speed and sent a long pass with millimeters in time. Lukeman's assist was also wonderful, but Solanke, who scored the goal, seemed a little mediocre."

Li Qing, who was still on the midline, raised his arms high, turned to face the coaching bench, and hugged and celebrated with head coach Simpson.

With half an hour left in the game, the team led the France U20 Youth Team by three goals, which means that the England U20 Youth Team has already stepped half a foot over the semi-finals and booked a ticket to the World Youth Championship final.

The Venezuelan U20 Youth Team players who followed this game were a little depressed. For them, the most ideal final opponent should be the France U20 Youth Team.

Compared with the England U20 youth team where Li Qing is, the French U20 youth team is obviously easier to deal with.

French U20 head coach Radé looked up at the starry Korean night sky, and he gradually realized that the possibility of the team's equalization was infinitely close to zero.

The top star Mbappe put his hands on his waist, looking helpless.

He made the greatest contribution he could, but luck and the opponent's goalkeeper performed well enough. Looking back at his own goalkeeper, he didn't make two key saves.

With the England U20 youth team leading by three goals, head coach Simpson made adjustments to the players on the field, allowing the main players to gradually get a rest.

Of course, the absolute core is not within the scope of adjustment.

Even if Li Qing lacks physical strength, he must stay on the field to be a tactical deterrent.

Once Li Qing is replaced, the risk is very high.

It's hard to get the opportunity to advance to the final of the World Youth Championship, how can you become a laughing stock of the world because of carelessness?

The French U20 youth team, which was already three goals behind, had no choice but to do its best to strengthen the offense. However, at this critical moment, there was a lack of unity between the front and back courts.

The front players wanted to score, while the back players wanted to defend.

In this case, Radé had to convey his tactical ideas through substitutions.

In the following games, the French U20 youth team attacked like a tide, while the English U20 youth team passively defended and had few opportunities to counterattack.

Radé was worried that Li Qing would counterattack and perform a hat trick, but the team was now three goals behind, and he could no longer take care of defense.

The ball was about to be lost, so why bother about losing the ball?

Scoring a goal to narrow the score was the kingly way!

Mbappe was very eager to win. He kept creating killing opportunities through dribbling and passing, but he encountered a goalkeeper who was almost cheating, Woodman, who made a high save to keep the goal.

However, Mbappe was not discouraged. His unremitting efforts were rewarded in the 79th minute. A powerful shot in the penalty area helped the French U20 youth team score a goal, tying the score to 1:3.

The commentator of the French National Sports TV was still cheering for Mbappe, and Mbappe, who scored a goal, also cheered and vented his long-suppressed negative emotions.

However, England U20 took advantage of the French U20 players' strong desire to win and neglected their defense. Li Qing, who received a direct pass from Arnold, challenged the French U20 youth team's remaining defense and scored, contributing his third goal of the game.

"The ball went in! Hat trick! Hat trick! His 12th goal in this World Youth Championship!"

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, was ecstatic: "With nine minutes left in the game, Li Qing's hat trick helped the England U20 youth team regain a three-goal lead. With time running out, it basically means that the England U20 team has made it to the World Youth Championship final!"

"But then again, the record of England U20 has nothing to do with us. The record of 12 goals in a single World Youth Championship created by the young Chinese player Li Qing has something to do with us! Li Qing, who once publicly stated that he was a human being, belongs to England in team glory, but personal glory belongs to us!"

Andy Gray, the commentator of Sky TV in Great Britain, was overwhelmed and eloquent: "This moment is worth remembering! Li created a new World Youth Championship goal record! 12 goals! An amazing record created in four games!"

"If he participated in the first two group matches, what level would this number of goals be raised to?"

Commentary guest Martin Taylor shuddered and felt extremely incredible.

Mbappe, the top star of France U20, stared blankly at Li Qing who was celebrating the goal. He already knew that the team had no chance to turn the tide.

Equalize, reverse?

Not possible!

As time was running out, the French U20 players gradually lost their desire to attack, and the English U20 players did not attack with much effort. The two teams tacitly consumed the last game time.

In the end, England U20 defeated France U20 4:1 at the Jeonju World Cup Arena with Li Qing's hat trick, and met Venezuela U20 in the final of this World Youth Championship.
