Football: The strongest post-zero generation.

"Beep~"

With the whistle of the referee Jonathan Moss, the second half of the fourth round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season's focus match between Manchester City and Liverpool kicked off.

"aoaooaooaooooo——"

The Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium were in a state of excitement, creating wave after wave of cheers.

What's strange is that the Liverpool fans didn't feel sad at all. They sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" under the leadership of the fan leader. Although they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, the Liverpool players on the court could hear it clearly. Because...Liverpool’s goal in the second half was right in front of the South Stand.

On the surface, Li Qing seemed unaffected by the score and the loss of one player, but actually he was panicking. [Superstar Moment] could only be used once, so he had to be extra cautious. As long as he grasped the opportunity well, it would not be impossible to lead the team to overtake the score. possible!

Manchester City, who were at home and had one more player to play, quickly took the initiative on the field. The tiki-taka tactics had an especially obvious advantage when Liverpool had one less player to play.

Although Klopp told Li Qing during the halftime break that he did not need to participate in defense and that he only needed to seize the opportunity to overtake the score, Li Qing felt a little unbearable when he saw his teammates running without hesitation.

Klopp saw Li Qing actively returning to defense, shook his head, and did not stop it. Manchester City's offensive at the beginning of the second half was fierce, obviously trying to grab the start and expand the score. Li Qing joined the defense, which relieved his side to a certain extent. Defensive pressure in the backcourt.

Manchester City's offense is somewhat wary of Liverpool's quick counterattack. The two central defenders cannot cross the threshold. This means that there are only eight players in the actual attack. Nine defensive players defending eight offensive players will have some advantages, especially when there is not much space. On the contrary, the offensive players played awkwardly.

After all, the space is only so big. If you want to do some tricks or send fatal direct passes, it is not suitable.

Continuous central penetration failed to find an opportunity. Manchester City's offense tried to pick up the ball from two wings. After the cross was lost in stoppage time in the first half, full-backs Moreno and Arnold became more careful in defense, plus Van Dijk. Gradually finding a tacit understanding with Matip, Manchester City's crosses from the wing did not pose an actual threat.

Under the cheers of tens of thousands of fans at home, Manchester City players attacked like a wave. Wave after wave, the Liverpool penalty area gradually became noisy and dangerous.

Mignolet has made several key saves in a row. Li Qing, who is running to help defend, is thinking, should he use [Superstar Moment] to equalize the score first?

However, at this moment, Manchester City scored again.

De Bruyne, who sent two assists in the first half, once again shined. He received David Silva's ball 30 meters away from the goal and chose to kick it. The football was powerful and heavy, and the angle was tricky. Previously, it was Mignolet, who performed well, had nothing to do this time.

"-Kevin De Bruyne!"

Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor shouted excitedly: "Wonderful long-range shot! The home team Manchester City expanded the score! 3:1! The defending champion is two goals behind at the Etihad Stadium!"

After showing the goal scorer De Bruyne, the broadcast screen was quickly shown to Liverpool coach Klopp. Klopp looked ugly and excited, and he didn't know what to complain to his assistant Buvac.

Immediately, the on-site director switched the camera to show Li Qing, Liverpool's top scorer this season. His face was very different from the past, from being confident to being worried.

The aura of fanaticism that hit his face made Li Qing feel very aggrieved, and he felt like he couldn't use his strength.

"what can we do about it?"

Li Qing frowned and his brain was running at high speed.

After about five seconds of thinking, Li Qing decided to score first.

"Goal in the 57th minute of the game! Liverpool are going to be in trouble."

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun said worriedly.

Li Qing, who decided to score first, looked around and glanced at his teammates who lacked fighting spirit. He knew that the goal was urgent!

Because narrowing the score difference can definitely awaken the fighting spirit of teammates!

Being behind by one goal is obviously easier to accept than being behind by two goals!

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but patted his forehead. He was a little hesitant just now. If he had known that he would lose the ball, he might as well have scored first to equalize the score.

However, there is no regret in this world. Li Qing can only accept the reality first, and then change the reality!

Firmino placed the football at the kick-off point in the center circle. Li Qing, who was already ready to use [Superstar Moment], saw from the corner of his eye that Bravo, who came on as substitute for Ederson, was standing very high and came to the penalty area. Online, my eyes suddenly lit up.

He originally planned to cheat but decided not to use it for the time being!

Li Qing is a good long passer, a master of free kicks, and a master of free kicks. With his accurate shooting, he has absolute confidence to score from this distance.

"Beep~"

The referee Jonathan Moss blew his whistle and Firmino was about to take the customary kick-off. Li Qing suddenly shouted: "Robert, I'll take the kick-off."

Firmino paused on the spot and saw Li Qing take a step forward, standing on the right side of the football with his right foot, and quickly kicked the inside of the instep of his left foot towards the bottom of the football.

The Manchester City players thought Li Qing was trying to vent his anger and sneered in their hearts. Only goalkeeper Bravo felt a thump in his heart and felt strong uneasiness.

Head coach Guardiola turned to look at the goal, just in time to see Bravo, who was standing on the line of the penalty area, turn around in a hurry...

"Fake!"

Guardiola suddenly cursed in his heart.

"Boom~"

Li Qing kicked the inside of the instep of his left foot toward the bottom of the football. The football quickly rose into the air and flew towards the Manchester City defensive half.

The footwork he uses is a long pass footwork. He just converts his teammates' contact point to half a meter from the bottom edge of the goal crossbar. This mental estimation of the distance can better control the landing point of the football.

The Manchester City players, who were sneering in their hearts, naturally followed the football in mid-air and looked towards their own backcourt. When they saw goalkeeper Bravo turn hastily, their pupils shrank, realizing that the situation was not good, and the sarcasm instantly turned into uneasiness.

The football flying towards Manchester City's defensive half quickly flew towards the goal along the middle of the field. Behind the Manchester City goal were the die-hard stands of Manchester City fans, especially the Manchester City fans behind the goal frame. They could see it particularly clearly.

The football...is coming towards the goal!

As soon as Bravo retreated to ten yards, the football came to the sky above the penalty area line. He looked at the football that started to fall, with a hint of despair in his eyes!

As he retreated, he used the inertia to fly into the air, making a final struggle, while praying in his heart: "God, don't let me become a sinner! The football... should be higher than the crossbar!"

Perhaps God was on vacation and did not hear the prayers of his believers. The falling football was higher than Bravo's raised right fingertips, grazing the goal crossbar and hitting the snow-white net...

The entire stadium was collectively stunned at this moment.
