Chapter 444 Top Four
"Oh-My-God! The game went to the 68th minute! Lee matched the amazing record set by Juste Fontaine sixty years ago with a hat trick! He is now the youngest person to score a single goal in the World Cup record holder!"
Marcel Leif, the commentator of German Sky TV, raised his voice an octave and shouted hysterically: "England leads Brazil 3:0! If nothing else happens, England is very likely to advance to the semi-finals of this World Cup. That is to say Lee has at least two games left, and it is very possible to set a personal record for scoring in a single World Cup! Even Miroslav Kroos’s record of 16 goals is very likely to be exceeded!
Li Qing, who scored the goal, smiled and ran towards the area where England fans gathered behind the goal. He closed his eyes naturally and put his hands behind his ears as if listening. The England fans in the audience were very kind and broke out like a tsunami. A huge shout: "Leeeeeeeeeeeeeee——"
"Li Qing! Li Qing! Li Qing!!"
Countless Chinese fans in the main stand and auxiliary stands shouted at the top of their lungs, cheering for Li Qing.
Standing in the coach's command area, England head coach Southgate seemed to have returned to his youth as a player. He skated and knelt in the command area to celebrate, venting the huge pressure caused by a three-goal lead and completely releasing it.
There are still more than 20 minutes in the game, and the injury time is only 25 minutes at most. The possibility of equalizing the score is almost zero. In addition, there is Li Qing on the court as a nuclear deterrent. Brazil wants to score. A huge price has to be paid, let alone an equalizer?
The England fans on the field ran at high speed without any effort, rushed towards Li Qing who was listening to the fans' wild shouts, and celebrated the ecstasy brought by the three-goal lead. Even Ashley Young, who had been tackled by Marcelo earlier, acted like a normal person. Run like crazy.
The broadcasts showed the frustrated Brazilian players one after another, especially Coutinho, who hit the goal post with a long shot. He looked very painful. Every time, there was a two-goal gap. If his long shot led to a goal, England would even Not even a chance to score a counterattack...
However, football matches are like this. The joy of one side contrasts with the pain of the other. The English are ecstatic and the Brazilians are miserable.
The on-site director showed a slow-motion replay of Li Qing's goal. From the moment he knocked the ball past Fagner with his heel, to then dribbling the ball at high speed past Alisson and scoring an empty goal, the whole process was full of entertainment and amazing.
All the famous Brazilian celebrities in the VIP seats were disappointed. Some held their heads, some kept sighing, and some simply stood up and turned towards the exit, obviously not prepared to watch any more.
There are many Brazilian fans who do this. They have been waiting for Brazil to score for more than 60 minutes. Now they are three goals behind. If they wait any longer, it will definitely be a defeat. Instead of waiting until the end of the game and being pissed off, it is better to leave early. .
The on-site director switched the camera to show the Brazilian fans who had left early. He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, changed the subject and exclaimed: "Brazilian fans can't stand it anymore. The 1:7 loss in the local World Cup semi-finals four years ago Against Germany, they suffered a humiliating defeat. Four years later, they fell behind 0:3 before the full game of the World Cup in Russia was over. This was a huge blow to the fanatical Brazilian fans. The so-called deep love and deep responsibility, the national team's It’s not good, I guess the fans in our country have a deep understanding, right?”
Of course, the game is not over yet, and any possibility will happen in the following time. Those Brazilian fans who left early can only be said to be a little glass-hearted and cannot represent the majority of Brazilian fans.
To be fair, the Brazilian team performed pretty well, and the main fault lies with Li Qing's personal ability.
His three goals were all accomplished with his superior personal ability and have little to do with England's overall outstanding performance.
What can you do in the face of such an opponent?
After half a minute of calming down, Brazilian head coach Tite put the bad mood behind him and gradually returned to normal. Although it is difficult for Brazil to equalize the score, it does not mean that it is impossible. The biggest feature of football matches is that they are full of uncertainty. Sex, he believes that the Brazilian team is no worse than England!
As long as the game is not over, it means there is still a chance!
There are more than 20 minutes left in the game, and Tite is preparing to make the final substitution adjustment.
The England players slowly walked towards their own half, and Brazil took the opportunity to make the last substitution, with Augusto replacing Firmino.
When Firmino saw that the red number displayed was his own, he thought it was the fourth official who made a mistake. It wasn't until head coach Tite nodded seriously to him that he walked to the sidelines dejectedly to complete the substitution handover.
Li Qing, who scored a hat trick, took the initiative to give Firmino a hug: "Your performance is the best in your team."
Firmino smiled and gave Li Qing a hug. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked straight to the sidelines.
Li Qing faintly heard Firmino scolding coach Tite in English...
Immediately, England also made adjustments, and defensive midfielder Livermore replaced Sterling.
China Channel 5 commentator He Wei commented: "The game is about to enter the 70th minute. England is leading by three goals. It is natural to strengthen the defense. Augusto replacing Firmino is confusing. If you don't remember, If it’s wrong, Brazil can reverse the unfavorable situation by relying on the unexpected gains brought by Firmino’s retreat to organize the attack.”
"Tite's change of formation is really hard to understand."
Commentator Xu Yang shook his head and said with a smile: "Whether Tite's adjustments are effective can only be verified through games."
The game restarted, and Brazil's offensive formation changed back to 433, with Jesus in the middle, Neymar and Coutinho on the left and right, and Augusto, Paulinho and Casemiro as the three midfielders.
It turned out that Augusto's replacement of Firmino was a bad move, and the positive effect brought by Firmino before was completely lost in the restarted game.
Tite only realized now that Firmino was the most important player in the team, but it was too late for him to know.
Sitting in front of the TV watching the live game, Liverpool coach Klopp shook his head. If Tite could use Firmino according to his tactics, Brazil would not have scored a goal.
Firmino's characteristics are not suitable for being a pure center forward at all. His best position is a false center forward and a second striker, or even a front midfielder. What a pity...
The broadcast screen was given to Li Qing again, and his eyes were full of relief.
Compared with the ended 2017-2018 season, Li Qing in the World Cup is stronger.
Next season, if nothing unexpected happens, all events will be in Liverpool's pocket again.
The coaches of the major Premier League clubs who were watching the live broadcast on Guandian TV were all very depressed. They had already made good use of Li Qing's existing technical characteristics, but they had to work hard again...
Li Qing, who contributed three goals, was substituted in the 84th minute of the game, allowing him to accept the applause of the fans.
"papappapaaaaa——"
Thunderous applause rang out in the Kazan Arena, and Li Qing also responded with applause.
Li Qing was substituted, and the offensive end led by Neymar consciously strengthened the offense, but as the game time came to the end, the physical fitness of many players dropped to the freezing point, and with a three-goal deficit, they were somewhat powerless.
Until the referee Ma Riqi blew the whistle to end the game, the score on the scoreboard showed 0:3 and did not change.
