Chapter 509: Cannonballs Fired, Overtaking the Score

In the frenetic atmosphere of the game, Li Qing climbed up from Saul, stood there and raised his arms to vent the negative emotions accumulated after not scoring for a long time, and then turned around to hug the captain Harry Kane who made the assist.

Although this goal was finally scored by Li Qing, the whole process relied on overall cooperation, which also made Li Qing know from the side that football still needs to rely on a strong overall support to win the game.

Li Qing helped England equalize the score before the end of the first half. Head coach Southgate was extremely excited. He stood in the home team coach command area and raised his arms continuously to vent the huge pressure brought by the equalization.

He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, joked: "Li Qing's goal reflects his superb shooting skills, but the goal came from the interweaving cooperation of the English frontcourt players. If Li Qing's teammates were replaced by the Chinese men's football team, Xu Yang, do you think this goal would happen?"

"Don't make such meaningless jokes, okay?"

Xu Yang laughed: "They are all old men who are used to playing health-preserving football. They still pass and cut and run? Maybe the first stop of the ball will be out of bounds, how can there be a chance to send a perfect assist?"

The on-site director gave a slow-motion replay of the entire England goal. The pass and cut cooperation is easy to see in many high-level games, but Li Qing's touch of the ball after receiving Harry Kane's pass was like he had eyes behind his head, as if he knew in advance that Saul behind him would fall to the ground and shovel, so he had a lob + sideways half-volley shot.

Whether it was the on-site commentary seat or the remote live broadcast room, the commentators were amazed at Li Qing's handling of the ball.

In the words of BBC commentator Lineker: "Li's prediction is too strong, which is also the fundamental reason why he has not been injured since the beginning of his career! He can always avoid fatal blows at the most dangerous time!"

Then, the broadcast screen gave the depressed Spanish head coach Enrique. He shook his head and put his hands on his hips. It was about to enter the halftime break. Who knew that Li Qing would cooperate with England to suddenly exert force. Compared with entering the locker room with 2:2, entering the locker room with 2:1 is obviously more psychologically advantageous.

It is a pity that England equalized the score.

However, Enrique has a strong ability to adjust psychologically. He believes that the game is a 90-minute battle. The draw in the past 45 minutes does not mean anything. As long as the last 45 minutes can win the game, plus the team's goal in England is to maintain a draw and win. If they can't win the game, getting one point is completely acceptable.

Of course, one point is a helpless choice.

Li Qing scored in the first minute of injury time. When there was half a minute left to celebrate the goal, the referee Kuipers reasonably gave Spain an offensive opportunity.

Spain, whose score was tied, wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to overtake the score again, but unfortunately, the English players were very focused on defense and did not give them a chance. Until Kuipers blew the whistle to end the first half, the score on the scoreboard was still 2:2.

"Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee——"

At the end of the first half, the New Wembley Stadium was filled with the loud shouts of English fans shouting Li Qing's name.

According to the 45 minutes that ended, if there was no Li Qing, England would have fallen behind by at least one goal.

The positive effect of 2:2 was very obvious. The mentality of the English players was much more relaxed than when they were behind, while the Spanish players frowned, as if they were behind in the score, with a hint of unwillingness between their brows.

The 15-minute halftime break passed in a flash, and the players from both sides of the game returned to the New Wembley Stadium one after another to prepare for the second half.

Perhaps Southgate and Enrique were both satisfied with their players' performance in the first half, and did not make any adjustments to the lineup before the start of the second half, and the two sides changed sides and fought again.

England, playing at home, quickly took the initiative in the game and was able to engage the Spanish defense through continuous passing. Li Qing and Rashford's cross-position became more frequent, putting more and more pressure on the Spanish defense. The huge cheers over the new Wembley Stadium also became louder and louder, one wave after another.

Spanish head coach Enrique stood in the visiting team coach command area with a frown on his face. He turned his head from time to time to look at the warm-up area, obviously thinking about how to make adjustments to solve the unfavorable situation on the field.

In addition, Saul and Busquets both received yellow cards, and the subsequent defense would be greatly restricted.

England, which was slightly passive in the first half, turned the tide in the second half, and used a strong attack to suppress Spain, which was good at controlling the ball, and had no time to organize the attack. The English fans in the audience were ecstatic and burst into huge cheers one wave higher than the other.

"aaooaoooaooooooo——"

The atmosphere of the new Wembley Stadium was getting more and more enthusiastic. England, which controlled the rhythm of the game, launched wave after wave of fierce attacks. The Spanish head coach Enrique saw it and was anxious. He hoped that the team would withstand this wave of attacks and launch an effective counterattack, but he was also worried that the team would overtake the score in the bombardment of England's attack.

"Damn it!"

This situation lasted for several minutes, and Enrique was extremely anxious.

Spain also launched a counterattack during this period, but unfortunately it failed. The problem caused by the lack of speed in switching from defense to offense must be that the speed could not be raised.

"Strengthen defense or increase the speed of counterattack?"

Ten minutes into the second half, the score on the scoreboard was 2:2. The problem facing Enrique was imminent and must be solved.

After half a minute of consideration, Enrique decided to make adjustments to the defense. After all, the team was a guest challenge. Although replacing offensive players might lead to a higher score, the team was more likely to fall behind.

However, at this moment, Li Qing, who was constantly cruising, suddenly crossed from the right rib of the attack to the middle of the attack, in the same straight line with captain Harry Kane. Henderson, who was coordinating the attack in the middle, decisively sent a powerful low ball, but Thiago did not follow up.

Busquets acted as the last barrier in front of the central defender, a moving wall. He would not take the initiative to attack until the critical moment, so Saul was responsible for defending Li Qing.

Considering that he had a yellow card on his back, Saul did not dare to do too much defensive action.

Henderson's straight pass was very powerful. Saul judged that Li Qing was stopping and dribbling, and his footsteps were one point faster. However, at the moment when Li Qing was about to touch the ball, he braked on the spot, and with his right foot as the axis, his body turned back to the direction he came from.

"Don't you want the ball anymore?"

This thought just occurred to Saul, Li Qing had already completed an emergency stop and turned around, and the football also rolled to Harry Kane, who was facing away from the goal.

"Fuck!"

Suddenly, Saul realized something, but he needed time to brake.

Harry Kane stood at the top of the penalty area, and pushed his right foot horizontally, setting up a cannon for Li Qing who was accelerating from the middle to the right rib of the attack.

The pupils of Busquets, the barrier, shrank suddenly, and he rushed out. Li Qing, who was facing the football, raised his right foot exaggeratedly. Busquets knew that Li Qing's right foot was no weaker than his left foot, so he threw his body out and tried to block it with his flesh and blood.

Li Qing quickly put down his raised right foot, and the inside of his instep buckled the football to the left front of his body. Busquets' body also flashed over his head. He raised his left foot again, and the instep hit the lower middle part of the football like a whip.

Decisive long shot after fake shot and real buckle!

"Boom~"

The football shot up from the ground like a cannonball, blasting towards the goal. Saul, who turned around and stretched out his foot to block the ball, was half a beat late.

Ramos, who was on the flight path of the football, subconsciously tilted his neck and looked over with the football flying at high speed.

Goalkeeper De Gea jumped up and stretched out his right arm, but Li Qing kicked out a football with great force and a tricky angle. He could not save Spain from the water...
