Chapter 353 Cannon
The game time passed by second by second, and the scoreboard showed that the score was still 0:1, with the visiting team Liverpool leading Barcelona.
Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou gradually recovered from the loss of the ball, cheering for the Barcelona players who were struggling on the field, creating a fanatical home atmosphere.
"aoaooaoaoooooooo——"
Barcelona had a lot of offensive time. According to the ball possession ratio given by the broadcaster, the two sides reached 68%:32%, which means that the home team Barcelona's ball possession ratio was infinitely close to 70%.
Despite this, Barcelona's offense was never able to threaten Karius to guard the goal.
Li Qing also had a counterattack during this period, but the Barcelona defenders immediately chose to foul. The referee Kuipers' whistle was obviously soft, and Busquets and Rakitic did not give cards for two targeted tactical fouls, and even no warnings.
In this regard, the commentator He Wei of Tianchao Channel 5 was quite dissatisfied.
In the 26th minute, Messi made a long pass from the right, but goalkeeper Karius rushed out to grab the ball, and immediately stepped forward to grab the ball with his right hand, and the football flew to the right side of his team.
Li Qing is 1.84 meters tall and weighs 76 kilograms. Alba, who is exactly 1.7 meters tall, can't see what Li Qing is doing behind him, so he simply pushed Li Qing hard from behind and pushed him to the ground. Anyway, the referee's whistle was soft.
"Beep~"
The referee Kuipers blew the whistle, indicating that Alba had committed a foul, but still did not mean to give a card.
Li Qing was very dissatisfied. He stood up and rushed to the referee Kuipers, raising one finger, two fingers, three fingers and four fingers in succession, and shouted almost crazily: "One! Two! Three times! Four fouls without a card! Do you know that as long as they don't foul, I can dribble and score another goal?"
Kuipers felt guilty. Unlike other referees, he didn't immediately turn his face black and then gave a yellow card warning. Instead, he patiently explained: "Li, you are facing away from the direction of attack. Jordi Alba fouled you for the first time. This does not constitute a yellow card, OK?"
Li Qing then gave an expression of "I see", but he was somewhat unhappy. The fouls of Barcelona players were very targeted. Except for Busquets' two fouls, the other players were fouled once.
Barcelona players filed back to their own half. Li Qing raised his mouth slightly and whispered, "Can a foul stop me from scoring?"
Klopp, standing in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, was very angry, but when he saw Li Qing trouble the referee Kuipers, his heart skipped a beat and he calmed down immediately. Fortunately, Kuipers did not give him a card, otherwise the next game would be in trouble.
Since Liverpool's frontcourt players are not good at competing for the landing point, Arnold took a short free kick from the backcourt and the ball rolled towards Matip.
Li Qing, who came to the right side of the attack, naturally became the focus of Barcelona players. Perhaps Valverde took into account Li Qing's superb free kick scoring ability, and Barcelona players did not dare to foul in the front position. As time went on, Li Qing keenly observed the loopholes in Barcelona's defense.
In fact, Barcelona's defense is not stable, to be more precise, it is insufficient in frontal defense.
Of course, this is based on the fact that the opponent is a star player with strong breakthrough ability.
Barcelona dare not foul in the middle, which means that Li Qing can try to break through from this dangerous place when he gets the ball.
Even if you can't make a breakthrough from the crowd, you can still try a free kick.
The skill [Superstar Moment] will be cooled down in a few minutes!
The game came to the 36th minute, half an hour after Liverpool opened the scoring, and the two sides played very closely, and neither could do anything to the other.
Liverpool continued to get offensive opportunities, and Barcelona rarely played passive defense. He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao 5, talked about his worries: "Liverpool's formation is getting closer and closer. If there is no way to score, Barcelona is likely to use the opportunity of a quick counterattack to equalize the score!"
Valverde used Ousmane Dembele instead of Coutinho in this game, just for a quick counterattack!
Firmino received Li Qing's pass and stopped and passed. He thought he was ready to shoot after shaking the shooting angle, but he noticed that Pique had blocked it in place. He raised his right foot to pull the ball back and turned around, from facing the goal to facing the goal with his back.
Li Qing inserted diagonally into the right rib from the right, and Firmino pushed the ball over with his right foot without any hesitation.
Busquets was standing two meters away from the ribs. He noticed Rakitic preparing to make up for the defense on the left. In a flash, his eyes lit up and he came up with a plan.
Li Qing, who received the pass, raised his left foot and stopped the ball in place. He made a secret tactical gesture with his left index finger, but his eyes looked to the right, as if waiting for Arnold to move forward and enrich the team's three-dimensional attack.
Firmino, who was originally preparing to bypass Pique and run to the far end of the penalty area, stopped in place and blocked Pique behind him.
Li Qing, who stopped in place, suddenly pushed the ball back to Firmino standing on the penalty area line with the arch of his left foot, and then started in place and ran diagonally to the top of the penalty area.
Pique wanted to defend in front, but Firmino had solid basic skills. He stuck his butt back and blocked Pique steadily behind him. Then, according to the tacit understanding of training, he pushed the ball passed by Li Qing straight out again, at a vertical angle of 90 degrees to the goal.
Li Qing started from the spot and showed all the Barcelona fans what super explosive power is!
Busquets is already over 30 years old, and his explosive power has obviously declined. Moreover, explosive power is not his characteristic. He exerted force with his left foot and stretched his right foot forward. He did not care about the coach Valverde's advice before the game not to foul in the dangerous area, and chose to foul immediately.
Unexpectedly, Li Qing rushed out too fast, and Busquets only kicked a ball of air!
Rakitic, who was preventing Henderson or Wijnaldum from advancing in the middle, had his back to the goal. He didn't know that Firmino was setting up a cannon for Li Qing. He was a little at a loss when he saw Li Qing flashing in front of him like the wind.
"Ivan! Stop him!!"
Iniesta, who was facing his own goal, shouted almost crazily.
However, Li Qing had already run over, and it was too late to foul. All he could do was watch Li Qing swing his left foot while running.
"Boom~"
The left foot hit the lower middle part of the football with a crisp muffled sound. The football rose from the ground like a cannon. Firmino, who was on the trajectory of the football, subconsciously dodged to the side, and the football slowly flew towards the goal at a high speed against his chest.
The football hit the goal with an unstoppable force. Pique's pupils shrank suddenly, and his head turned almost instinctively. The football just brushed the tip of his ear and flew past, scratching it painfully.
Goalkeeper Ter Stegen adjusted in small steps, looked at the football flying to the upper left corner of the goal, bent his knees and jumped on the spot, and stretched out his right palm.
His right fingertips also touched the football, but Li Qing's powerful long-range shot was devastating, and his fingertips did not completely change the trajectory of the football. The unstoppable football hit the inner edge of the left goal post fiercely, making a metal collision sound, and then rushed into the net!
The noisy Camp Nou stadium, at this moment... came to an abrupt end.
