Chapter 251 Looking for Confidence? No! It’s a Goal!

Li Qing was knocked down by Herrera, Pogba, Matic and Mkhitaryan at 35 meters away. Liverpool coach Klopp raised his eyebrows while complaining from time to time. He had formulated a foul-making tactic before the game, but Mourinho had thought of this long ago. The foul was only committed at 35 meters away, and the position was relatively remote.

Once entering the 30-meter area, Manchester United players used their tacit defensive awareness to oppress Liverpool players' offensive space. Whether Li Qing received the ball or other Liverpool players received the ball, it was difficult to play tricks in a small space.

Being knocked down by Herrera again, Li Qing felt a nameless anger in his heart.

Originally, he thought that the home game against Manchester United was a very important game, and the [Superstar Moment] in his hand would be used at a critical moment. Now it seems... he must give Manchester United a taste of his own medicine!

Can a foul solve the problem?

Humph!

Little guy!

Liverpool fans at Anfield are quite aggressive. Whenever Manchester United players get the ball, they burst into deafening boos. Liverpool fans use this method to express their strong dissatisfaction with Manchester United players.

When the fans of both teams approached the stands, if the security personnel had not played a buffering role, the fans of both teams would have rolled up their sleeves and prepared to fight.

This shows how fanatical this Red Devils match was.

Fifteen minutes into the game, the score on the scoreboard was still 0:0. Herrera was like a sticky candy, always following Li Qing, not giving him an easy chance to get the ball.

Despite this, Li Qing, who was cruising to the middle of the road about thirty-five meters away from the goal, raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Van Dijk, who was in control of the ball, passed the ball directly without any hesitation.

Herrera immediately sought physical confrontation and did not allow Li Qing to turn around. Pogba and Mkhitaryan quickly approached Li Qing from two directions to prevent Li Qing from breaking through Herrera's defense.

Li Qing took the initiative to meet the football. With his back to the goal, he suddenly stretched his left foot forward, pulled the ball back, and pulled the ball alternately with the sole of his right foot, from facing the goal with his back to facing the goal.

To be more precise, he faced Herrera head-on.

"Marseille turn!"

Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai's voice did not fluctuate much, because the technical action at this distance has no practical effect except for a certain degree of viewing.

Li Qing was only 35 meters away from the goal. As he retreated to the Marseille turn, he was more than 40 meters away from the goal. Although Herrera was puzzled, he was quite proud in his heart.

Li Qing, who was at the peak of his career when he debuted, was helpless under his close defense!

Just like the second round of the red and blue battle last season, perfectly restricting Hazard and helping the team win the game!

At this moment, Li Qing lowered his left shoulder and pushed the football with the outside of his left foot. Herrera's eyes lit up, and his body naturally tilted to the right, blocking Li Qing's breakthrough route in advance.

But he regretted it as soon as he finished the action. Li Qing used the flexibility of his ankle to buckle the football back with the inside of his left foot.

Shake the cow's tail!

Herrera's early movement made him temporarily lose control of Li Qing. Mkhitaryan made a tackle while running. Li Qing lifted the ball up with the tip of his right foot, and then he jumped over the fallen Mkhitaryan with the front of his right foot.

Li Qing accelerated instantly after landing, and Herrera's heart 'clicked' and felt a little uneasy.

Mourinho's expression became more stern, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Pogba, who came to defend, knocked down Li Qing who was dribbling the ball out.

However, because Li Qing had completed the breakthrough, Pogba, who fouled, received the first yellow card since the start of Manchester United.

Pogba fouled and received a yellow card, Klopp didn't say anything, but the Liverpool fans in the audience burst into a huge boo, giving it to Manchester United's No. 6 Pogba.

"wuwuwuwuuuuuu——"

Pogba, who fouled, did not change his face in the face of the overwhelming boos, and slowly stood up.

Li Qing, who was fouled, did not show any anger. Instead, he smiled at Pogba who fouled him: "Thank you."

Pogba was stunned for a moment, then thought: "Is this a fool? I fouled you and you thank me?"

Li Qing stood at the place where the referee Oliver sprayed white foam and looked at the goal. The position was relatively straight, more than 35 meters away from the goal. If he only relied on the talent [Free Kick Master], it would be difficult to score a goal.

Not to mention the long distance, De Gea's state and ability should not be underestimated.

But with the skill [Superstar Moment], scoring a free kick from 35 meters away is not a problem at all.

Even if the distance is 40 meters, it can be done!

Normally, Li Qing would not take a free kick in this position, but Li Qing stood at the foul spot, ready to take a set-piece, and Henderson asked: "Li, do you want to take a free kick?"

"I haven't taken a good shot for a while, I want to try it out."

Henderson nodded slightly: "Then you take it."

Li Qing's footwork is recognized by the whole team, and Henderson admires him very much. As long as Li Qing wants to take a kick, he has no reason to refuse.

De Gea, standing in front of the goal, frowned and looked at Li Qing who picked up the ball and put it back.

In theory, this distance is not very suitable for long shots.

The broadcaster gave the distance between the goal and the foul site. Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "The straight-line distance between the goal and the foul site is 36 meters. It seems that Li Qing is going to take the direct free kick. It must be that Manchester United's targeted defense in the previous ten minutes made him feel very frustrated. The shot that hit the goal has not appeared yet. The young player Li Qing really needs to find confidence."

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray looked at Li Qing's resolute eyes and changed the subject: "Why do I feel that Li seems to be full of confidence? Could it be that... a free kick from this position can also score?"

"Li has scored direct free kicks in the past, but isn't this ball too far? 36 meters! The goalkeeper is David De Gea!"

Commentary guest Martin Taylor couldn't believe it.

Andy Gray smiled and looked at Li Qing in the middle of the broadcast screen.

England was already quite cold in mid-October, especially for Liverpool, a northwest port. Mourinho, wearing a down jacket, put his hands in his side pockets and stared at Li Qing with a cold look. He felt a little uneasy.

Liverpool fans in the audience were all concentrating and holding their breath, looking at Li Qing with expectant eyes.

"Beep~"

Accompanied by the whistle of the referee Oliver.

Li Qing, who was two or three meters away from the football, did not look up at the goalkeeper De Gea, nor did he look at Martial and Mkhitaryan who were symbolically forming a human wall, but ran directly.

"Superstar moment, use it!"

The distance of the first two steps was relatively short, about half a meter, and the last two steps were farther and farther. The right foot stood about 30 centimeters to the right of the football, with the center of gravity leaning to the right, about 60 degrees to the ground, the right arm was naturally raised to maintain the balance of the body, and the left foot was raised backwards, like a whip, it was quickly whipped out.

"Boom~"

The football that was lifted into the air by the force was like an arrow from a bow, passing over the heads of Martial and Mkhitaryan at high speed, and flew to the upper left corner of the goal guarded by De Gea, which was the upper right corner opposite the goal.

De Gea, standing in the middle of the goal, looked at the football and sneered in his heart. It is undeniable that the direct free kick kicked by Li Qing was powerful, but the flying height of the football was too high, and there was simply not enough distance for the football...

"Oops!"

De Gea, who made a judgment, watched the football flying to the same level as the penalty spot suddenly fall, and it was obviously too late to make a save. All he could do was stand there and watch the football hit the snow-white net with horror.

This... went in?

The Liverpool fans at Anfield were stunned for a moment, until the football rolled out of the goal, and then they subconsciously burst into a huge and violent shout like a tsunami: "aoaooaoaooaooooo——"
