Chapter 515: Criminal Goal
"What a pity!"
He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, exclaimed: "Son Heung-min was in very good condition. He accelerated with the ball and got rid of Wijnaldum's defense. The powerful football hit the middle of the right goal post..."
Park Ke-ho, the commentator of South Korea SBS Sports TV, was more upset than Son Heung-min who missed a great opportunity: "The new Wembley Stadium is indeed a home stadium on loan! If this was at White Hart Lane, I believe Son Heung-min would have helped Tottenham Hotspur equalize the score! What a pity!"
"A long shot that was just a hair's breadth away!"
BBC commentator Lineker's voice rose eight degrees.
All Tottenham fans were depressed about Son Heung-min's almost goal, but they ignored that the ball had not yet formed a dead ball, which meant that... the game was still in progress.
The football that hit the goal post head-on was caught by Van Dijk who returned to the penalty area after bouncing back. He did not clear the ball blindly, but handed the ball to Robertson, the left back who was running forward.
Tottenham coach Pochettino recovered quickly after a brief annoyance and shouted hysterically to the players on the field: "Return to defense!"
But the exclamations and exclamations over the new Wembley Stadium were like a tsunami, and his voice did not pass through the obstacles to reach the players' ears.
In sharp contrast, Liverpool coach Klopp subconsciously took two steps forward, his eyes were bright and full of expectation, and he didn't even realize that his upper body had crossed the sideline.
Fortunately, the assistant referee's focus was on the court, otherwise his behavior would be warned.
Back to the point, Robertson lowered his head and took the ball forward one step, not fast, and then looked up at the front field, only to see Li Qing approaching from the middle to the left rib, with only Dell, a defensive player, following him. With a push of his left foot, the ball rolled quickly towards Li Qing along the ground.
Dell knew that his national team teammate Li Qing was powerful, and he didn't care so much. He stretched out his left hand and pulled hard before Li Qing surpassed two bodies.
Unexpectedly, Li Qing stopped suddenly on the spot, pushed the football to the left rear with the outside of his left foot, and at the same time, with the front of his left foot as the axis, he turned 90 degrees to the left, and his body changed from the left sideline to the direction of the center circle.
Li Qing stopped suddenly, and Dale's outstretched left hand seemed to encounter a head-on collision. He felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and his left hand that was tightly holding the jersey instantly lost all strength.
Li Qing, who was in the direction of the center circle, ignored what happened to Dale and accelerated on the spot.
Alderweireld and Vertonghen didn't know what happened to Dale, and they didn't have extra time to think about this problem. Li Qing rushed towards the center circle with the ball, and they were thinking... how to complete the defense.
Is it a foul?
Or... use conventional defense to intercept the football.
If it were an ordinary player, he would definitely be able to intercept the football through the power of encirclement, but... Li Qing is not an ordinary player!
After a split second of consideration, Alderweireld and Vertonghen made the same choice.
Foul!
Anyway, no one has received a yellow card yet, so it is very cost-effective to use a yellow card to block Liverpool's quick counterattack!
Rose has not returned from assisting, and Trippier saw Li Qing rushing to the middle, so he consciously returned to the middle. Winks was still organizing the attack before, and there was a certain distance from Li Qing who was dribbling forward, which means that the responsibility of defending Li Qing fell on Alderweireld and Vertonghen.
Li Qing has played many games with the double central defenders composed of Alderweireld and Vertonghen, and even had a confrontation in the World Cup semi-finals. He already knows what the central defender combination from Belgium is going to do.
At the same time, the live director's close-up shot was given to Li Qing, and the commentator of Tianchao 5 Channel He Wei shouted: "This is an excellent counterattack opportunity for Liverpool. Will Li Qing break through the defense of Alderweireld and Vertonghen?"
It was said that Li Qing's eyes lit up when he wanted to accelerate through rhythm changes and changes of direction. Alderweireld and Vertonghen's positions were layered, but the distance between them was a little far.
This... is an opportunity!
"aoaoaooaoooooooooo——"
The Liverpool fans at the new Wembley Stadium saw Li Qing decisively take the ball forward, and the cheers broke out louder and louder. Those Tottenham fans wanted to boo, but they remembered that Li Qing helped England win the World Cup this summer, and the boos that were about to come to their mouths stopped instantly.
Lyon coach Genesio in a certain audience held his breath and stared at Li Qing, who showed no signs of slowing down, thinking: "Is he going to force a breakthrough?"
Alderweireld and Vertonghen who appeared in the sight were both players with rich game experience. It was obviously impossible for Li Qing to pass easily, so Genesio believed that Li Qing's breakthrough was bound to be fouled.
Li Qing stepped on the center line with his right foot, and the outside of his left foot stretched out to push the football forward more than ten meters. His rapidly swinging arms drove his two strong legs to alternate quickly, and the calves that were rapidly alternating to push the ground almost formed afterimages. The fans sitting in the main and auxiliary stands watched with their blood boiling and blood surging.
Wearing red-soled shoes, Li Qing looked like he was riding a hot wheel, rushing towards Alderweireld and Vertonghen at lightning speed.
This pair of Belgian central defenders had a lot of experience in the game, and they immediately realized something, turned around and closed together, thinking of blocking Li Qing behind them by closing the door. At that time... the referee was very likely to penalize Li Qing for an offensive foul!
Between yellow cards and offensive fouls, Alderweireld and Vertonghen tacitly chose to close the door and defend. Even if the referee Oliver awarded a blocking foul, there was a high chance that they would not be given a card.
I never expected that Li Qing was too fast and the momentum he brought was very fierce. Coupled with his strong body, the whole person was like a big truck with supercar horsepower. Alderweireld and Weir Tongheng's closing defense was half a beat too late.
Therefore, Alderweireld and Vertonghen were like the defensive players defending Kojiro Hinata in the cartoon "Football Kid". Although they were not knocked away in an exaggerated manner, they were forcefully knocked away by Li Qing. 'Blood Road'.
"This is a foul!"
Park Ke-ho, the commentator of South Korea SBS Sports TV, roared almost crazy: "Offensive foul!"
However, referee Oliver has his own basis. In his opinion, if it was a foul, it was also a foul committed by Alderweireld and Vertonghen.
Li Qing staggered, chasing the soccer ball as it ran out without slowing down.
"Criminal breakthrough! Li is like a supercar running at full speed, breaking through obstacles!"
Goalkeeper and captain Lloris had conceded four goals against Li Qing in the World Cup final. Facing Li Qing again, he had no confidence. By the time he realized something, Li Qing had already completed a push shot with his left foot, running close to the ground. The football has passed quickly from the left side of his body and hit the snow-white net in the lower left corner of the goal...
