Chapter 47 Diving to Show Off Your Prowess?

The referee on duty blew his whistle quickly after signaling that the goal was valid, which also meant that the first half of the 1/16 final of the 2016-2017 English Youth FA Cup between Manchester City U18 and Liverpool U18 was over.

The on-site broadcaster aimed the camera at Li Qing, asking the fans watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV to recognize him. This person... is the player who helped Liverpool U18 equalize the score with his own strength!

Neil Critchley, Gerrard and Mike Garrity hugged Li Qing who scored the goal tightly, and other players followed suit, reflecting an excellent team atmosphere.

Adekanye, who had always been prejudiced against Li Qing, had to admit Li Qing's excellence at this time. Not to mention the double goal in this game, the eleven goals contributed in the first four games were an achievement that he could not catch up with in the entire season.

Surrounded by his coach and teammates, Li Qing was very excited. He finally helped the team equalize the score through his personal efforts, but he was not satisfied. There were still 45 minutes left in the second half, and he hoped to help the team beat Manchester City U18 on his own!

This game was characterized as a strong dialogue, and there must be many scouts from various clubs paying attention. Perhaps... there are scouts from major giants hidden among the fans watching the game.

As Li Qing guessed, there are indeed scouts among the fans of both sides, and they are scouts from famous clubs.

Mendes, who was watching the live broadcast of the game in his busy schedule, couldn't help but smile. The cost of signing Li Qing before was a bit high, and there was a gambling element. Now it seems that Li Qing does have that talent. Judging from his performance, he is better than Messi who was shining in La Masia.

Perhaps, Li Qing is really likely to grow into a superstar at the level of Ronaldo and Messi!

In this way, his investment will receive a huge return!

…

There are no spectator seats in the Youth FA Cup stadium. The fans who come to the stadium are standing around the stadium, and the players naturally have no so-called locker room.

Of course, the home team is an exception.

Liverpool U18 players, led by Li Qing, sat on the sidelines, allowing the media reporters to keep pressing the shutter button. They were exhausted after the first half and had serious water consumption. They had to take the time to rest and replenish water, otherwise the second half of the game would be worrying.

There were only two players who performed well in the first half, one on each side, Sancho and Li Qing.

Sancho scored with a pass and a shot, and Li Qing scored two goals. The reporters and self-media present knew that no matter how the second half of the game went, Sancho and Li Qing's excellent performance in the first half would make headlines.

The sky gradually darkened, and the high-power headlights on all sides of the stadium lit up, but the falling temperature did not rise. A breeze blew, and Tong Shenbing, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help shivering. The warm fragrance in her mouth blew on her clasped hands, and she whispered: "I should have brought an extra down jacket. I'm freezing to death."

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of her. Looking up, it was Li Qing standing in front of her with a heavy down jacket, and his handsome face was full of sweat: "Cousin Tong, you look so cold, take it and wear it."

Tong Shenbing is one of the few female fans at Manchester City Academy Stadium. It was especially cold at nearly six o'clock in the afternoon, even though she was already wearing a lot of clothes.

Beautiful girls are especially pitiful. When Liverpool fans saw Li Qing put a down jacket on Tong Shenbing, they raised their hands and applauded Li Qing's extraordinary behavior.

Tong Shenbing was about to say no, but Li Qing had already shrugged his shoulders and retreated to the team. In this regard, she could only helplessly put on Li Qing's thick down jacket.

In addition to keeping warm, the down jacket also smelled a faint masculine scent. Looking forward, Li Qing listened to the coach attentively. His focused expression, under the light, seemed... even more handsome.

…

The fifteen-minute halftime break passed quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the court one after another. Perhaps their respective coaches were very satisfied with the performance of the players on the field in the first half, and no one took the lead in making substitutions.

Liverpool U18, who had the advantage of kicking off, was not in a hurry to organize an attack. After several passes, the ball came to Li Qing's feet on the right side of the attack.

The wonderful goal before the end of the first half was still vivid in their minds. Manchester City U18's defensive players did not dare to neglect it, and they all held their breath.

Li Qing couldn't help grinning when he saw the solemn expressions of the other side. He raised his right foot to make a false impression of passing the ball to Coyle who was advancing, and deceived Diaz into raising his foot to block the ball.

He quickly put down his right foot, alternated his feet to support, and suddenly pushed the ball to the right front with the inside of his left foot. He quickly stepped on the ball with his right foot and pulled it to the left. The full-back Latibodier, who was passively moved to the outside, had to stop on the spot and followed Li Qing's dribbling changes to recover.

But Li Qing pulled the ball halfway to the left and then pulled it back. He poked the ball forward with his toes, and the ball passed through Latibodier's crotch, who had just taken a step and was retracting.

Latibodier's pupils shrank slightly, and it was obviously too late to close his legs quickly. Li Qing started on the spot, and his powerful explosive power was fully demonstrated at this moment. Diaz, who wanted to raise his foot to commit a foul, didn't even touch a hair on his leg. He could only watch Li Qing chase the ball.

Originally, Li Qing just wanted to try the defensive level of Manchester City U18 casually, but it turned out to be much weaker than he imagined.

The beginning of the first and second half is indeed the easiest time to score!

Li Qing fully accelerated, and it was too late to chase.

At this moment, he was like a wild horse running at full speed towards the empty space in front of him.

"What a fast speed!"

"Oh-My-God! Is this guy driving a Ferrari in the game?"

"Incredible speed!"

...

Accompanied by the exclamations of the fans on the sidelines, the bald middle-aged man standing in the northeast corner whispered: "Overtake the score?"

Facing T. Wilson who was defending head-on, Li Qing made a false impression of walking from right to left at the top of the penalty area while dribbling the ball at high speed, deceiving T. Wilson to move to the middle, but he suddenly dunked the ball straight into the penalty area with the inside of his left foot.

T. Wilson turned around and followed him, which was obviously too late. His partner E. Francis just came out from the diagonal line, saw the opportunity, and used his right shoulder to hit Li Qing's left shoulder who had just entered the penalty area.

Li Qing's strength was obviously insufficient, and their tonnage was not at the same level. He was knocked to the ground and his control over the football naturally came to an abrupt end.

He thought the attack was over, but suddenly he heard a whistle: "Beep~"

His eyes lit up, and he saw the referee pointing his finger at the penalty spot.

This...

Penalty!

Fuck!

The talent of diving is so powerful!
