Chapter 666 What Happened to Li Qing

Perhaps it is the long winning streak that has given people a sense of aesthetic fatigue. Now no matter who is playing against Liverpool, the commentator will appear particularly excited if they can lead Liverpool.

Of course, not only the commentator, but also Ayew, who had just scored a goal, was very excited. He ran quickly on the field, rushed towards the stands where his team's fans were, and kissed the team logo on his chest as he ran.

With their team taking the lead at Liverpool's home ground, the Crystal Palace fans at the scene naturally did not hesitate to give applause and cheers as they watched the goal scorer kissing the team badge, and the stands instantly became lively.

In contrast, other places in the stands of Anfield Stadium fell into a brief silence.

Our team is falling behind at home.

This fact was a little hard for the Liverpool fans at the scene to accept. On such an important day and in such a match, when the team had almost all its main players on the field and were dominating the opponent most of the time, yet the opponent scored first. The fans were shocked!

The Crystal Palace player who scored the goal seemed to find confidence from it. He started playing more calmly and almost expanded the score near the end of the game.

It was still MacArthur who, after receiving the long pass from the backcourt, made a lob pass without stopping the ball and lofted it into the penalty area. Zaha turned around and shot after stopping the ball, and the ball hit the goal post and bounced out of the bottom line, making all the Liverpool players on the field break out in cold sweats.

During the half-time break, in Liverpool's locker room, Klopp didn't look too good, but he didn't say much. He just emphasized that while maintaining a solid defense, they must continue to attack and strive to equalize the score as soon as possible and take the lead.

"Bingbing, why does Li Qing look a little strange today? He didn't even score a single goal in the first half?"

During the half-time break, in the VIP box at Anfield Stadium, Ning Qing asked Tong Shenbing with a strange look on his face.

"Maybe it's because the weather is cold today and I'm not in a good mood." Tong Shenbing explained to her bestie, but the weirdness in her heart was no less than Ning Qing's. Li Qing was indeed behaving a little abnormally today.

To outsiders, Li Qing's performance in the first half was quite satisfactory. He had four shots, three of which were within the goal frame, and one shot almost broke the opponent's goal. Judging from these performances and data, there seems to be no problem.

However, as the closest person to Li Qing, Tong Shenbing knew that Li Qing's performance today could be considered poor.

It’s not that not scoring a goal means a bad performance, but Tong Shenbing felt that Li Qing’s performance on the field today was very different from his usual performance.

As for what was different, she couldn't tell, so she could only blame it on the bad weather in England. Indeed, the weather in Liverpool in January was quite bad. Although it didn't rain today, the temperature was very low and it was windy.

Perhaps it was because of these that Li Qing's performance was affected! Tong Shenbing tried to convince herself, and she had already started thinking about how she would comfort Li Qing if Liverpool suffered an upset at home today.

Soon, players from both teams came back on the field. In terms of the lineup, neither head coach made any adjustments. The game was restarted, and with the referee's whistle, the second half began.

After a few passes, the ball landed at Li Qing's feet, and the Liverpool fans in the stands suddenly became excited.

Because Li Qing's current position is quite good, with only one Crystal Palace defender in front of him, normally in situations like this, Li Qing would dribble the ball himself and go directly into the penalty area to shoot and score.

But at this time, Li Qing did something unexpected. When everyone thought he would break through, he actually made a side pass.

After seeing Li Qing receive the ball, Mane started to move forward quickly, ready to make a follow-up shot if Li Qing broke through and shot, but he didn't expect Li Qing to actually deliver the ball directly to his feet.

Mane, who was completely unprepared, ran straight past, then quickly stopped and went back to get the ball. However, when he got the ball, there were already three Crystal Palace players approaching him.

Li Qing was scratching his head. The horizontal pass just now was not an impromptu decision. Instead, he made the decision after seeing Mane moving forward and finding that there was no defensive player in front of him. However, he did not expect that Mane had never thought of him passing the ball to him.

Wasted opportunity!

Klopp on the sidelines made his own judgment, hugged his arms and shook his head. Of course, he could see Li Qing's thinking behind this goal, but he was puzzled as to why Li Qing didn't choose to break through himself just now?

It is true that passing the ball to Mane would increase the chances of a successful shot, but in today's Liverpool team, most players are accustomed to Li Qing taking the ball and breaking through to shoot directly, and they never thought that Li Qing would pass the ball in this situation.

Klopp turned back to the coaching seat, looked at the on-site records, and frowned.

In Li Qing's match today, the data for his personal breakthrough is still zero, which is obviously abnormal.

In the past, this data has never been lower than double digits. It suddenly dropped to zero, which made Klopp realize that Li Qing on the field was obviously not just abnormal.

What happened to Li Qing?

Not only Klopp, but Mane was also a little depressed. Facing the siege of three opposing players, he could only pass the ball back to the midfield and let the midfielders reorganize the attack.

"Li, why didn't you break through on your own just now?" Mane took the opportunity to ask Li Qing.

"Let's enrich our offensive style. You need to concentrate a little more. If you had received the ball just now, there would be a 90% chance of scoring a goal!" Li Qing answered calmly and gave Mane a lesson.

Mane was confused when he got the answer. He never saw you pass the ball to him in training matches on weekdays, but you were so kind to him in today's game. Did the sun rise from the west today?

Mane looked up at the sky, and seeing the gray clouds above his head, his mind became even more confused.

Li Qing was in a bad mood because he messed up a good shot.

Without the system, his talents and skills could not be used, and he could only play football based on his own strength, which made Li Qing very uncomfortable.

However, after reading the game in the first half, Li Qing was able to control his own strength. The pass to Mane just now was a test for him.

In the past he used his natural skills to pass the ball or shoot, but today he played purely based on his strength, which did make the Liverpool players a little uncomfortable.

But his actions shocked Crystal Palace coach Hodgson on the sidelines.

Li Qing's sudden pass just now almost made the old coach's heart stop. If Mane hadn't failed to receive the ball well, Liverpool would have definitely equalized the score by now.

But Hodgson was also puzzled.

What happened to Li Qing? Why did he pass the ball?
