Chapter 255 High-Speed Triple Buckle to Secure Victory

Manchester United missed the closest chance to score, and failed to create a great opportunity for a long time afterwards. Instead, Liverpool frequently created killing opportunities.

If Herrera, Damian and Phil Jones had not committed fouls in time, Li Qing and Salah could have scored a goal to further expand the score.

Time passed second by second, and it was the 75th minute in a blink of an eye. The score on the scoreboard was still 2:0, with the home team in front and the away team behind.

Manchester United coached by Mourinho did not give up chasing points. His players ran at full strength and quickly participated in the offense after completing the defense. Herrera and Matic, who were originally responsible for defending Li Qing, participated in the team's offense.

Except for the two central defenders Phil Jones and Smalling who firmly defended the middle, other players participated in the offense. Even the full-backs who were originally allowed to participate in the offense on one side all devoted themselves to the offense, making Manchester United's overall offense more three-dimensional.

After this period of mental adjustment, Pogba's collision with him has warmed up, and his ball possession and passing have gradually become more reasonable.

Mourinho, standing in the visiting team coach's command area, had a serious face, but he couldn't help but nod his head slightly to show his approval when he saw Pogba's warming performance.

It's just that the game time is getting shorter and shorter, and he doesn't know whether the team can equalize the score in the remaining game time.

Pogba received a diagonal pass from Matic, and faced Emre Can's defense and chose to fake a shot and dunk. He pushed the ball to the right front with the outside of his right foot, and got a long shot space in two steps.

Emre Can's defense was relatively passive, and he stretched his legs to block it half a beat late, and failed to block the ball kicked by Pogba.

However, goalkeeper Mignolet focused his attention, and he punched the ball out with both fists, and the ball flew to Henderson who was defending on the right side of the penalty area.

Valencia and Matic ran over at the same time, thinking of jointly intercepting the ball and continuing to organize the attack.

Henderson is not stupid. He first blocked the position and blocked Valencia behind him. He used his right foot to push the ball back. The right back Arnold, who ran out of space, met the ball and pushed it directly. Valencia, who subconsciously fell to the ground to block, did not touch the ball.

The ball quickly rushed to the center line along the grass, just in the same direction as Li Qing's running.

"Foul!"

Manchester United coach Mourinho blurted out. In fact, there was no need to remind him. The players on the field knew what to do at the critical moment.

It was just that Mourinho's loud reminder was heard by Klopp. If the team was not in the critical period of switching from defense to offense, he might have run over to argue with Mourinho, so he just glared angrily.

In order to pursue three-dimensional and oppressive offense, Manchester United's left back Damian pressed forward, which meant that only Phil Jones and Smalling were defending Li Qing who was facing the ball.

Li Qing has the advantage of speed, but Smalling, who is closer to the football, doesn't believe it. Two seconds passed quickly, and the two were only about two meters away from the football. Smalling knew that if he ran two more steps, he would completely lose control of the football, so he aimed at the football rolling forward while running and decisively chose to fall to the ground and make a tackle.

In a flash, Li Qing, who was running at high speed, stretched out his left foot forward and poked the ball forward with his toes. The football almost rolled forward quickly along the extended right foot studs of Smalling who fell to the ground and slid forward.

Li Qing pushed hard with the front of his left foot, and used the huge inertia brought by the high speed to jump up and quickly jumped over Smalling who fell to the ground and slid, chasing the football.

Phil Jones' heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Although there were problems with Smalling's defense, it was not impossible. It was just that Li Qing was faster than expected. Facing Li Qing who was chasing the football, he chose to go back to defense in a straight line, blocking Li Qing's only way to cut inside.

Li Qing stumbled when he landed, but it didn't have much impact. After crossing the center line, he stabilized his body and ran at full speed.

The fans in the audience clearly saw Li Qing like a red lightning, passing through the court at high speed.

Pogba, Matic, Herrera and other Manchester United players were chasing back frantically, but they were getting farther and farther away from Li Qing, which meant that they could only pin their hopes on Phil Jones.

Mourinho, who was standing in the visiting team coach's command area, seemed to have anticipated the result. Compared with his anxious assistant Faria, he looked a little calm, with his hands clasped around his arms, looking calmly at Li Qing, who was less than 40 meters away from the baseline with the ball.

As a coach with rich coaching experience, Mourinho knew that it was useless to be nervous at this time.

The ball that should be lost will still be lost.

The game time was more than ten minutes. Even if Li Qing didn't score this goal, there was very little time left for the team to equalize the score.

The biggest failure today was to start Pogba, who participated in two games on the international match day and played the whole game.

Phil Jones had a yellow card on his back. He fought and retreated, not because he was not afraid of getting a card, but because he was worried that Li Qing would use his speed and technical advantages to dodge in advance, thus failing to save the team.

"aoaooaoao——"

The huge and violent shouts of Liverpool fans rang out over Anfield. Phil Jones, who had retreated to the 30-meter defense area, realized that he could not retreat any further. He began to slow down his retreat and wait for Li Qing.

Li Qing was waiting for this opportunity. He saw the ball suddenly pushed to the left with the outside of his left foot. It was a very obvious sign of a breakthrough to the left, and Phil Jones quickly pulled it in.

At the same time, Li Qing suddenly used the inside of his left foot to dunk the ball to the right front, completing the change of direction during the high-speed dribbling process.

Phil Jones's shortcoming of slow turning was fully exposed at this moment, but he did not give up defense, twisting his waist and shaking his abdomen to force a turn!

But he didn't expect Li Qing to have a back-up plan. He stretched out his right foot and kicked the football back to the right front with his left foot. Phil Jones subconsciously braked on the spot, and as a result, Li Qing kicked the football to the right front with the inside of his left foot. It means that Li Qing used the inside of his left foot to kick the ball back and forth three times in a row while running at high speed.

The continuous change of direction during the fighting and retreating process caused Phil Jones' body center of gravity to be unable to change, and his right foot softened and slipped to the ground.

"Beautiful continuous dribbling!"

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "Phil Jones was knocked to the ground by Li Qing! Only David De Gea was left in front of him!"

The next thing was very simple for Li Qing. He dribbled the ball to the unconfident De Gea and pushed it. The football passed through De Gea's big and small gates along the grass, and the score on the scoreboard became 3:0.

Klopp, who was standing in the command area of ​​the home team coach, knew that a three-goal lead basically meant that the game was stable!

The top spot!

Here it comes!

Indeed, the score of 3:0 remained unchanged throughout the game. Liverpool, who played at home, won a complete victory over Manchester United at home thanks to Li Qing's two shots and one assist.
