Chapter 428 A Flash of Inspiration

"Beep~"

As the Argentinian referee Piñata blew his whistle, China Channel 5 commentator He Wei said his iconic opening remarks: "China TV, China TV, the game we are broadcasting for you now is the fourth game of the 2018 Russia World Cup 1/ Live broadcast of the match between Denmark and England in the finals of 8."

"The one wearing the red shirt and red shorts is England. They attack from the right side of the broadcast screen to the left. The one wearing the white shirt and white shorts is Denmark. They attack from the left side of the broadcast screen to the right... "

England, who had a kick-off advantage, quickly handed the football to right winger Li Qing. Denmark defended Li Qing to very high standards. Tottenham stars Eriksen, Braithwaite and forward Cornelius were in Li Qing's left front. Directly in front and right, preventing him from taking the ball forward.

The three of them did not attack, but stood still. Li Qing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a smile on his face, pulled the ball back with his left foot, handed it directly to the central defender Stones, and then moved the Danish defender's position through running.

Li Qing had guessed before the game that Denmark would strengthen his defense. He was not surprised when faced with such standard treatment. Therefore, he was ready to assist his teammates in attacking until the [Superstar Moment] cooled down. At the end of time, he helped the England national team score a goal.

At the same time, Howie announced the starting lineups of both sides to the fans in front of the TV.

Denmark's official formation is 451. The goalkeeper is Schmeichel Jr. who plays for Leicester City, defenders Jonas Knudsen, Christensen, Simon Kehl and Dardes, midfielders Poulsen, M. Jorgensen, Delaney, Eriksson and Braithwaite, with Cornelius at the front.

The official formation given by England is 343 specially built for Li Qing, with goalkeeper Pickford, defenders Maguire, Stones and Kyle Walker, and midfielders Ashley Young, Henderson, Alli and Alexander-Arnold. , forwards Sterling, Harry Kane and Li Qing.

Denmark did only score two goals in three group games, and its offensive performance was insufficient. However, it only conceded one goal on the defensive end, making it one of the teams that conceded the fewest goals in the group stages of this World Cup.

As preparations were made before the game, Denmark put pressure on Li Qing in the opening stage and quickly returned to the 30-meter defensive zone in their own half to wait for England to attack.

There are two secrets to breaking through dense defense, namely set kicks and long shots. Li Qing is good at both of these, so the Danish team tries not to give England free kick opportunities as much as possible.

Other players could let the long shot go, but Li Qing refused.

The game went by very quickly in England's half-court attack. Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, but the score on the scoreboard did not change.

"aoaooaooaoooooooooo——"

However, the English fans, Chinese fans and neutral fans at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium were not affected. They were happy to create a tsunami of violent shouts to cheer for the English players who organized the attack.

Li Qing was closely guarded. In addition to being able to pass crosses and back passes easily, his forward routes to get the ball and forward passes were cut off, and his performance was impossible to speak of.

Despite this, the Danish players did not take it lightly. On the contrary, they walked on thin ice and did not give Li Qing too many opportunities to get the ball.

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei laughed and said: "If I remember correctly, Li Qing has not made a successful breakthrough or sent a threatening ball in this game, not even a shot. Xu Yang, do you think it is Li Qing who is not in good condition?" ?"

"Haha~"

Xu Yang said with a smile: "Li Qing, this little guy is very thief. In the past few minutes, he encountered many violent fouls by the players who sold him alone. If he guessed correctly, he must be accumulating strength now, waiting for the players who sold him alone to relax their vigilance. In an instant, but... Li Qing is well-known, and the World Cup is another gluttonous feast every four years. Danish players will definitely not neglect it. Maybe... Li Qing will have to wait for a longer time. "

As Xu Yang said during the game, the Danish players guarding Li Qing were very much like qualified bodyguards and did not give Li Qing any chance at all.

England coach Southgate frowned. Before the game, he thought that Denmark would defend with all its strength, but he did not expect that the defense would be so good and leave no room for anything.

Even if Li Qing was guarded to death, other players would not find any chance.

The main reason for this is that the tactical drills are based on Li Qing as the absolute core. Now that Li Qing is being closely monitored, the team's offensive system has suffered a fatal blow.

The two wingers also used traditional winger crosses, but the effect was not very good. Harry Kane was closely marked by Simon Kyle and Christensen in the penalty area, and it was difficult to reach the football. It is difficult to threaten Schmeichel to guard the goal.

Although Denmark was in a defensive posture most of the time, the game was quite exciting. England kept trying half-court offensive drills, time and time again, setting off a fanatical atmosphere at the scene.

The ten minutes of the game passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was twenty-five minutes, which meant that more than half of the first half of the game had passed. Sky TV commentator Andy Gray frowned and said: "Gareth Southgate should Make adjustments to tactics..."

Before he finished speaking, Henderson kicked the ball towards Li Qing, who had his back to the attacking direction. Eriksen, Braithwaite and Delaney all leaned over, but since Li Qing had his back to the goal, they did not lean on him. It was too close. Li Qing originally wanted to pass the ball back, but at this moment, a light flashed in his eyes and an idea came to his mind.

Li Qing, who had a wide field of vision, observed Ashley Young at the far end of the goal running forward at high speed. It was obvious that he was following the strict arrangement of head coach Southgate before the game to run forward every five minutes to enrich the team's three-dimensional offense, especially before he received the ball.

If it was the first ten minutes, the Danish defenders would definitely stick to him, but they were used to Li Qing's passing back to his teammates, and they had inertial thinking and did not get close in time.

Hared, who was standing in the command area of ​​the home team coach, frowned, but did not say anything. After all, if Li Qing passed the ball horizontally, it would be difficult for Eriksen and Delaney to make up for it.

Li Qing suddenly stepped forward with his right foot, raised his left foot with his back to the attacking direction, and kicked the ball to the attacking left rib.

The football that rose from the ground crossed most of the field, flying from the right side of England's attack to the left side of the attack. The attention of the Danish defenders was instantly attracted by the football, and the right back Dalders, who was led to the middle by Sterling, felt a thump in his heart.

As soon as Dalders turned around, he saw a red figure flashing in front of him. The broadcast screen quickly cut over, and the commentator He Wei of Tianchao Channel 5 raised his voice by eight octaves: "Ashley Young!"

Since Ashley Young was inserted from behind, he was not offside, which he knew very well.

Li Qing passed the ball very comfortably. Ashley Young, who was running, did not need any adjustment. He used the arch of his left foot to push the ball to the penalty spot on the left side of the penalty area.

Harry Kane took away the defense of Christensen and Simon Kjer. The Danish midfielder had not returned to his position. Ali, who was inserted forward, pushed the ball and the ball rolled towards the lower right corner of the goal along the ground.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel was blocked from view and reacted half a beat slower, failing to turn the tide.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooal——"

The iconic elongated voice of Sky TV commentator Andy Gray suddenly sounded.
