Chapter 248: First in the Group, Watching the Fight From a Mountaintop
The football crashed into the snow-white net, and the fanatical atmosphere of the Calderon Stadium dropped to freezing point. Only the Liverpool fans who came to the stadium with the team shouted loudly, releasing their passion for the team they supported, creating huge hysterical chants.
"aoaoaoaoooooo——"
Mane was very excited after scoring the goal. He turned around with excitement, pointed his finger at Li Qing who sent a precise long pass, opened his arms, and ran over.
Liverpool head coach Klopp was very excited. He high-fived his assistants Buvac and Kravitz excitedly, and then quickly changed the topic to how the team would make adjustments in the next game.
Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun is a Liverpool fan. At this time, his true nature was completely released, and he shouted with excitement: "Li Ma connected again, and his exquisite long pass found Mane who was advancing at high speed. Mane's ability to get the ball was obvious. He practiced it countless times before the game, and he was very skillful. He was also very calm when facing goalkeeper Oblak, and he helped Liverpool expand the score with a low shot!”
"3:1! Although this goal was scored by Mane, Li Qing contributed more. His ability to break through with the ball was so strong that Lucas Hernandez, Koke and Felipe All focused on him, and through the slow-motion replay of the goal, we can clearly see that central defenders Godin and Jimenez both consciously moved closer to Li Qing..."
Mane jumped directly on Li Qing's back, raised his fists high, and vented the emotional explosion caused by the goal.
Atletico Madrid head coach Simeone shook his head and smiled bitterly. He thought the adjustments he made could limit Li Qing, but...
Indeed, his tactics inhibited Li Qing's characteristics of breaking through with the ball. The problem is that Li Qing also has the killer trick of long pass. It is not difficult to see that Li Qing is a player who likes to use his brain to play football, and he will never look back when he should fight. Suddenly, there was no hesitation when it was time to pass the ball.
How can such a player be restricted?
In addition to his poor personal condition, it seems that he really can't be completely suppressed.
Thinking of this, Simeone felt that the tactics he formulated before the game were wrong...
The tactics formulated before the game were too fearful of Li Qing, which resulted in insufficient care for other Liverpool players.
Be sure to pay more attention next time you play at Anfield.
The team is two goals behind, which basically means there is no way to come back.
However, Simeone did not give up. He made his third adjustment in the subsequent game time. Torres replaced Carrasco, which increased the pressure on Liverpool's defense in the penalty area.
Torres, who came on as a substitute, not only received applause from Atletico Madrid fans, but also received thunderous applause from the stands of Liverpool fans. He played 142 games for Liverpool and scored 81 goals, ranking 20th in team history.
Liverpool, who were leading by two goals, made the second adjustment of the game in the 80th minute. He replaced Firmino with Solanke. No defensive player replaced the offensive player as fans imagined. It was obviously Kloj. Pu wanted to use offense to suppress Atletico Madrid's counterattack.
The scoreboard showed 1:3 and the whistle did not change until the end of the game.
"Beep~beep~beep~~"
With the two short and one long whistles of the referee Bruchy, the second round of the 2017-2018 Champions League Group C focus battle came to an end. Liverpool defeated 3:1 at the Calderon Stadium with Li Qing's two shots and one pass. Atletico Madrid ranked first in Group C with two consecutive wins.
Not long after, the on-site director showed a close-up shot of Li Qing, which meant that the best player in this game was this sixteen-year-old boy.
Although Li Qing will not go to the regular press conference after the game to participate in media interviews, this does not prevent reporters in the mixed area of the scene from taking photos of Li Qing.
Li Qing's outstanding performance in this game will definitely make headlines in major media, so these photo materials will be of great use.
After winning an away game, Klopp was in a good mood and took the initiative to walk towards Simeone.
Simeone was indeed in a bad mood after losing, but court etiquette still had to be observed. He grinned, hugged and shook hands with Klopp, you patted my chest and I patted your back, as if we hadn't seen each other for years. A good friend of mine, asking for help.
It wasn't until Klopp turned around and left that Simeone's expression returned to a depressed look.
At the regular home team press conference after the game, Simeone, like countless coaches who have led their teams to lose, took the initiative to take responsibility for the loss. At the same time, he said that the Champions League group stage has only started two rounds, and the team is still very likely to follow the path of death. group stands out.
