Chapter 191: Unreasonable, Long-Range Shot

"Tianchao TV, Tianchao TV, the match we are broadcasting now is the live broadcast of the 21st FIFA U20 World Cup Final in 2017. The team wearing purple jerseys and purple shorts is the Venezuelan U20 youth team. They are attacking from the right side of the screen to the left side..."

Accompanied by a long whistle from the Dutch referee Kuipers, He Wei, the top football commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, shouted with excitement.

The Venezuelan U20 team, which had the advantage of kicking off, did not launch a tidal attack, but the backcourt players directly kicked the ball. As for whether the frontcourt players could fight for the landing point, they did not care at all, because they took the initiative to give up the control of the football and gave the initiative to the England U20 youth team with the foot technology.

Obviously, this is the core tactic of the Venezuelan U20 team in this game.

The Venezuelan U20 team was able to advance to the final of this World Youth Championship. In addition to good luck, it was largely because their defense work was very good. In the past six games, they only lost two goals, and their defensive ability was even stronger than the England U20 youth team with superior overall ability.

Therefore, before the game, England U20 head coach Simpson had given relevant instructions, and the players must attack patiently and must not be impatient, otherwise they can only be won by the Venezuelan U20 players who are waiting for opportunities.

The England U20 youth team players who got control of the game strictly followed the tactical requirements of head coach Simpson. They were very careful in passing and receiving the ball. Except for Li Qing who chose to break through, other players cooperated through running and passing. Passing beyond a certain distance would not appear. Obviously, they were worried about the counterattack ability of Venezuela U20.

However, Li Qing did not worry about this. Playing against a team like Venezuela U20 can only be gradual. If you act too hastily, you will be taken advantage of.

There are many players defending him, and it can be said that he is always there, but as the traffic leader of this World Youth Championship, he deserves such treatment. On the contrary, it would be strange if the Venezuelan U20 youth team did not pay attention to it.

Li Qing has a targeted plan for the expected defense.

To put it bluntly, it is to wait for the skill [Superstar Moment] to cool down.

As long as they can break the deadlock and take the lead, the defensive Venezuela U20 can only start attacking, otherwise they can only hand over the championship. At that time, it is the time to expand the score and kill the game.

Therefore, both the fans at the scene and the fans in front of the TV were very surprised. Li Qing, who always likes to break through with the ball, was very calm in the first ten minutes of the game and had no intention of breaking through at all.

In the twelfth minute of the game, the on-site director took the opportunity of a dead ball to give Li Qing a close-up shot. Sky TV commentator Andy Gray frowned and said: "Li's mental state looks good today, but why didn't he choose to break through? Facing the tight defense of the Venezuelan U20 youth team, he should continue to create pressure as an offensive explosive point."

The commentator shook his head and smiled: "Old man, I think Li is very smart."

"Why?"

Andy Gray asked with a smile.

"Venezuela U20 advanced to the final of the World Youth Championship largely because of their excellent defense. Forced attack will lead to goal loss. So it is right that Li did not force a breakthrough. He did not have the breakthrough space he needed. He would always have a chance if he waited patiently. It's just... I don't know if other England U20 players will be as calm as Li..."

England U20 head coach Simpson was worried that the players were too impatient. He did not sit in the coaching seat, but stood in the coaching command area, reminding the players to keep a cool head from time to time through inflammatory tactical gestures.

From the first ten minutes, both sides of the game completed the pre-match tasks well.

England U20's offensive was like a tide, but there was actually a lack of shots that threatened the goal. Venezuela U20 had no chance to counterattack, but the defense was quite good, and even did not give Li Qing a chance to break through.

Parsas, the commentator of Venezuela's National Sports Television, was in high spirits. Although the national youth team he supported was always in a passive defense, he believed that this situation did not represent the outcome of the game, so he raised his arms and shouted: "Come on! Boys! The team that wins the championship is often the one that does the best defense, just like Italy, the champion of the 2006 World Cup in Germany!"

When the football came to Li Qing's feet, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, fearing that Li Qing would suddenly accelerate and break through. It was not until Li Qing passed the ball and disappeared from the broadcast screen that he gradually returned to normal.

The game time came to the 20th minute. Li Qing, who had been running, noticed that the skill [Superstar Moment] had ended its cooldown and entered the usable time.

Li Qing, who ran to the 30-meter offensive area, raised his hand to ask for the ball. Ejaria, who was controlling the ball in the midfield, passed the ball directly, and the ball rolled quickly towards Li Qing along the ground.

Venezuelan U20 player Herrera immediately stuck to Li Qing, who had noticed it long ago. He did not wait for the ball in place, but took the initiative to meet the football. Herrera had to take another step and run out with Li Qing.

Li Qing was facing the goal while retreating. He used the outside of his right foot to push the ball to the right, and then turned about 90 degrees to the left and back, facing the goal. Herrera didn't want Li Qing to get out of his control, so he raised his right hand to put it on his shoulder. Li Qing just swung his elbow outward, knocking away Herrera's hand who was trying to foul, and then kicked the ball forward with the inside of his left foot.

Herrera was in pain and was half a beat slower. Left back Jose Hernandez came to the ribs to make up for the defense, but Li Qing had no intention of stopping easily after he started to speed up. He continued to speed up along the middle.

Li Qing got the space to kick while running. He had already used the [Superstar Moment] and didn't even look at the goal. He swung his powerful left foot about 30 meters away from the goal and hit the middle and lower part of the ball hard with the instep.

"Boom~"

The central defender Ferraresi, who was still hesitating whether to make up for the defense, heard the crisp sound and his pupils shrank slightly. He looked at the football flying towards the goal and immediately stepped aside.

If the ball was blocked head-on with such a fast speed, it would be very painful.

It was because of this move that the football rubbed Ferraresi's right shoulder and flew towards the goal. The football, like a cannonball, seemed to hit the goal with destructive force. The goalkeeper Farine looked at the aggressive football and kicked hard with his left foot. The huge reaction force made him fly into the air in a very short time, raised his arms and stretched his abdomen, trying to stretch his outstretched arms longer...

But as soon as his arm opened the football, he rushed to the absolute blind spot in the upper right corner of the goal. The English fans and Chinese fans in the Suwon World Cup Arena subconsciously released their enthusiasm, and it suddenly resounded throughout the stadium.

"aoaoaooaoaoo——"

"The ball is in!"

He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, shouted excitedly: "Li Qing's 13th goal in this World Cup! A new World Youth Championship record!"
