Chapter 46 Individualistic Goal

The game time passed quickly, and it was the end of the first half. In addition to sending a precise diagonal long pass that almost assisted Glenn McCauley, Li Qing also sent out high-quality long passes in succession, bringing new changes to Liverpool U18's offense.

As a result, Manchester City U18 head coach Lee Carsley was more determined to ask the players to limit Li Qing's passes and strengthen the defense in the penalty area, trying to cut off the connection between Li Qing and his teammates, so as to ensure the safety of A. Muric guarding the goal.

At the end of the 45-minute regular time, the fourth official held up the electronic card for one minute of injury time, which means that there was only one minute left in the first half of this game.

Foden's penetrating pass found striker Nmecha, who was unable to shoot with force under the close interference of Masterson, and the ball was easily caught by goalkeeper Grabara.

Sancho and Diaz had a strong sense of counter-grabbing and rushed over at the first time. Grabara, who wanted to kick the ball with a big foot, had to choose to bypass it. It was precisely because of this bypass that Liverpool U18 lost the best counterattack opportunity and changed to advancing layer by layer.

Li Qing's body stagnated and he ran back slowly. Glenn McCauley ran forward according to the tactics and headed between the two central defenders of the opponent.

Manchester City U18 full-back Latibodier followed Li Qing, Liverpool U18 right-back Harvey White was close to the sideline, and Diaz was stuck in the defensive ribs.

The players of both sides stood in position. Jordan Hunter, who was holding the ball, crossed the center line and passed the ball to Li Qing who was returning without too many passing targets.

Latibodier hurriedly stuck to Li Qing, trying not to give him the opportunity to face the attack head-on.

Unexpectedly, Li Qing, who seemed to receive the ball, suddenly opened his legs, let the ball pass, and then quickly turned 90 degrees on the right side of Latibodier's body.

When Latibodier saw the ball rolling, he subconsciously stretched his foot to block it, but not only did he fail to block the ball, but he also let Li Qing stick to him to complete the turn.

Harvey White passed the ball without stopping, and the ball rolled along the grass to the space behind Latibodière. Diaz and Dele Bashirou, who was guarding in the middle, went to fill the space left by left-back Latibodière.

Li Qing accelerated to meet the ball, and made a cross-run with Harvey White, running from the ribs to the right, widening the distance between him and Bashirou and Diaz.

The arch of his right foot moved forward towards the rolling ball and accelerated.

Bashirou and Diaz immediately realized what Li Qing was going to do, but their speed was limited and the space between them was far, so they could only passively choose to run in a straight line to block Li Qing's inward cut.

At the critical moment, they remembered that the coach said that Li Qing was a left-handed player, and sooner or later he would switch back to his left foot and walk inside when he went down the right side.

Liverpool U18's offensive speed was raised by Li Qing, and the players in the midfield and frontcourt ran forward without any effort.

The attack was likely to end before the halftime break. Liverpool U18 players were running without any effort, which immediately put great pressure on Manchester City U18 defensive players. Head coach Lee Carsley, who was standing in the coaching booth, suddenly felt a little uneasy.

The middle was in crisis. Diaz signaled his teammate Bashiru to take care of the middle while chasing back, and he could defend Li Qing alone.

Neil Critchley looked at Li Qing who was accelerating to the extreme, just like a red Ferrari with the accelerator stepped on the bottom, rushing towards the baseline.

Diaz was not as fast as Li Qing, but he was smart in choosing his position and stuck in the route that Li Qing had to cut inside.

The distance between them was getting closer and closer, and Li Qing's speed dropped slightly. Facing Diaz, he chose to accelerate in disguised form without reason, accelerating from the outside, using speed to eat Diaz alive, and entering the penalty area from the outside.

Bashiru ran back with all his strength, only to see Li Qing swing his right foot. Bashiru thought Li Qing was going to pass the ball horizontally to the middle, so he fell to the ground and shoveled while running, but Li Qing's right foot stopped the ball in place.

Seeing Diaz rushing towards him again, he suddenly had an idea and poked the ball with the tip of his left foot. The ball just rolled under the crotch of Diaz who rushed to defend. The whole action was done in one go, and his body crossed with Diaz who couldn't stop.

Li Qing stretched out his left foot solemnly, and pushed the ball to the left with the outside of his foot, just avoiding the attempt of central defender T. Wilson to clear the ball.

In a flash, the Manchester City U18 penalty area suddenly became so chaotic that the Manchester City fans who were watching forgot to make a sound and chose to stare blankly at the players of both sides in the penalty area.

Li Qing stepped forward with his left foot and stuck Foden's defensive route with his body. The latter subconsciously stopped on the spot for fear of knocking over the opponent.

Li Qing, who has the talent [Diving], had the idea of ​​falling forward in a flash, but thinking that he was not the one taking the penalty kick, he stuck his butt back, held Foden who couldn't stop, and quickly raised his left foot to kick the ball.

Manchester City U18 goalkeeper A. Muric saw the football coming out from the gap between people and rolling quickly towards the far corner of the goal along the grass. He had lowered his center of gravity and pushed the ground with his right foot. The huge reaction force between his feet and the ground made his body like a spring squeezed to the extreme. He leaned forward and rushed out...

"Damn it!"

A. Muric, whose momentum stopped abruptly, looked at the football that was still a few centimeters away from his fingertips, his eyes full of despair.

Li Qing saw the football pass the goal line along the far goal post, and excitedly opened his arms and rushed to the visiting team's coaching bench.

Behind him was a group of teammates who could not control their emotions.

The bald middle-aged man in the northeast corner shook his head. The Manchester City U18 players in sky blue jerseys had done their best, but Li Qing in red jerseys was really a monster. He was like a butterfly dancing in the penalty area. He was calm enough in the last shot, so it was natural to lose the ball.

Klopp, who was sitting in front of the TV, was moved by Li Qing's goal full of humanism. He raised his arms excitedly and shouted. Looking at the young face shown on the broadcast screen, an idea came to his mind.

He... is he really not yet sixteen years old?

Too monster!
