Chapter 198 The Youngest International Player in the Spotlight

The fifteen-minute halftime break passed quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the court one after another. Perhaps the coaches of both sides were very satisfied with their players' performance in the first half, and no adjustments were made to the lineup before the start of the second half.

Li Qing, who was expected to appear as a substitute in front of the TV, did not appear. The Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game had no choice but to continue waiting.

English fans were also very impatient. Before the game, they all read news media reports. A genius like Li Qing must represent England as soon as possible, otherwise there may be variables in the future.

After this World Cup qualifier, we will enter the summer break. The next international match day will be in September. Three months is not long or short. What if the Chinese Football Association realizes the importance of Li Qing?

Li Qing himself yearns for the Chinese men's football team. Only by representing the England adult team can Li Qing represent the Chinese men's football team in international A-level events.

Scotland's defense against No. 9 Kane was very good. The first ten minutes of the second half passed quickly, and the scoreboard showed 0:0. The score remained unchanged. The live director gave the Three Lions bench from time to time.

To be more precise, it was Li Qing.

In terms of goal efficiency, he was the best in the game.

In the 65th minute, England made a substitution, but the player who was substituted was not Li Qing, but Chamberlain who played for Arsenal, who replaced Rashford.

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, commented: "Rashford, who is 20 years old this year, is very talented. I always feel that he has not played a stunning game. If Li Qing can start, the situation will definitely be different now. Chamberlain has a strong impact, but he is still a little worse than Li Qing."

However, Chamberlain's appearance had an immediate effect. He helped England score the first goal in a few minutes.

Unfortunately, Scottish player Griffiths used a direct free kick opportunity to equalize the score, and then scored two goals with a direct free kick four minutes later.

The scoreboard showed that the score was already 2:1, and the home team Scotland was ahead of the big brother England.

England, which was behind in the score, made the second substitution. The player who came on the field was still not the much-anticipated Li Qing, but the happy boy.

"What is Gareth Gasoltso thinking? Li should be sent in at this time!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray raised his eyebrows.

Commentary guest Martin Taylor nodded in agreement: "Li's super strong personal scoring ability is what England needs most now!"

Time passed second by second, and the fanatical atmosphere created by Hampden Park Stadium became stronger and stronger. The cheers came one after another. The Scottish players on the field ran and assisted selflessly, making it impossible for England, who tried to equalize the score, to create a threatening enough attack.

Standing in the visiting team coach command area, England coach Sgasot frowned. It was not that he didn't want to send Li Qing. If the team was leading by two goals now, he would definitely not hesitate. The problem was that the score was behind now, and it was somewhat irresponsible to pin the hope of equalizing the score on a child who was only sixteen years old.

But the problem came back again. In the current situation, we must rely on Li Qing's super strong scoring ability, otherwise it will threaten the direct qualification.

At the 80th minute, the defense of the Bagpipe Country was still excellent, and England's offense had no improvement. Sterling, who had just come on the field, was afraid of physical confrontation. His characteristics and shortcomings were quite distinct, so it was easier to defend.

Steve Holland, the assistant of Sgasot, asked: "Gareth, why don't you send Lee to play?"

"It would be very detrimental to his future growth to replace Lee in this situation."

Steve Holland shrugged and said: "Lee is not an ordinary player. He is a super genius who is even more abnormal than a genius! 31 goals in 15 games! 15 goals in 5 games in the World Youth Championship. Can such a super genius be viewed from the perspective of ordinary people? Look at him, how strong is his desire to play?"

Sgasot turned his head and saw Li Qing in the warm-up area looking at the court. Every move released a signal - he wanted to play.

In a blink of an eye, five minutes passed, England still had the upper hand but could not score, but Scotland's quick counterattack created a killing opportunity. Sgasot's heart tightened, and he turned to his assistant and said: "Steve, call Li over and prepare to play."

"OK!"

Li Qing was called to the bench by Steve Holland, and the live director immediately gave the camera. Sky TV commentator Andy Gray became excited instantly and shouted hysterically: "16 years and 122 days! Li will break the record of the youngest international player set by Theo Walcott in May 2006 at 17 years and 75 days!"

"What a shocking number!"

Commentary guest Martin Taylor said with Andy Gray's high emotions.

He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, said in a rather depressed tone: "This day has finally come! Li Qing, who should have been the youngest international player of China, became the youngest international player of England today at the age of 16 years and 122 days!"

Two minutes later, Li Qing stood next to the fourth official holding the electronic substitution card, waiting for his chance.

Adam, who got the ball on the right side of the attack, saw Li Qing preparing to come on as a substitute. He hesitated for a moment and chose to kick the ball to the defender. The ball went out of the sideline, and the referee blew the whistle to signal a substitution.

"88th minute of the game! An amazing record was born here! Li officially broke the record of the youngest international player set by Theo Walcott ten years ago!"

Andy Gray, the commentator of Sky TV, was ecstatic: "Li has created another amazing record in his career. In addition to the endless goals, the team he plays for has won all the victories so far! Today... Will the World Cup qualifiers at Hampden Park continue?"

Robertson watched Li Qing replace Adam, and his heart 'clicked' and felt deeply afraid. Scotland coach Strachan also had the same idea. He thought he could still get all three points at home, but now it seems... a bit hanging.

Li Qing's legend is not only promoted in the Premier League, but also widely circulated in the just-concluded World Youth Championship.

How to defend such a pervert who can pass and shoot?

Li Qing, who came on as a substitute, came to the familiar right offensive line. Scottish left-back Robertson couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his eyes showed obvious nervousness. Li Qing saw it and couldn't help thinking: "Am I that scary?"

If Robertson could hear what Li Qing was thinking, he would definitely say: "You are scarier than I thought!"
