Now, at least 50,000 people in the entire Anfield stadium, including the fans, have the same question as Hodgson.

But I'm afraid no one can answer this question except Li Qing himself.

BBC commentator Lineker was rarely silent during this game.

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray looked puzzled and looked at his partner beside him, "Martin, what do you think of Lee's performance today?"

Martin Taylor cursed in his heart, if he wanted to know, would it be your turn to ask me? But Martin Taylor still acted like an insider.

"This should be Klopp's new tactic. Andy, do you think Liverpool's style of play today was very Paisley? But now it seems that the new tactics make Liverpool's players very uncomfortable, and Li is obviously not used to it either!"

Put the blame on Paisley. If Paisley still has a spirit in heaven, he will probably drop a bomb and strike Martin Taylor down.

At this moment, Liverpool's midfielder intercepted the ball, Henderson immediately rushed into Crystal Palace's half with the ball, but Milivojevic blocked him, and the two captains of both sides started the Nth duel in this game.

But Henderson obviously had no intention of fighting with Milivojevic. Although his body made a gesture to continue rushing forward, the ball under his feet had been knocked out the moment he met the opponent.

The ball fell in the direction of Li Qing, but Henderson didn't even look to see whether the ball was caught by Li Qing. He turned away from Milivojevic and immediately accelerated forward.

This is the tacit understanding between Henderson and Li Qing. Despite the interference from the opposing players, Li Qing still easily took the ball off and at the same time kicked the ball quickly, and the ball fell to Henderson's feet again.

Henderson made a high-speed forward run, without even waiting for the Crystal Palace defenders to come forward, he made a lob pass and the ball returned to Li Qing's feet.

This time, there was no defensive player around Li Qing. Just now, he and Henderson passed the ball to each other, and Henderson successfully attracted the attention of three opposing players, but in the end, Li Qing was missed.

Li Qing stretched his foot forward and easily controlled the ball. He then dribbled forward and rushed into the Crystal Palace penalty area. Speroni had already left the goal.

But it was too late. Li Qing shot the ball lightly, and the ball went into the goal under the armpit of Speroni who had just rushed over.

"Goooooooooooal——"

Andy Gray, who had been doubting just now, let out his signature drawn-out voice that resounded throughout the live broadcast room. The entire Anfield stadium was also instantly ignited by this goal.

"Wonderful, beautiful, the tacit cooperation between Henderson and Li, the continuous wall-like cooperation, and Li Qing's final calm shot finally penetrated the gate of Crystal Palace. It was wonderful, absolutely wonderful!" Martin Taylor immediately sang praises.

Klopp punched hard on the sidelines, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell. The Li Qing he was familiar with was finally back.

In the stadium stands and in the VIP box, Tong Shenbing and Ning Qing cheered and hugged each other. Li Qing's goal made their worries disappear.

The wonderful cooperation between the two captains and the goal greatly boosted the morale of the Liverpool players on the field, and the fans cheered. Although it was just a tie, no one would think that Liverpool would lose the game.

Hodgson shook his head helplessly. His players had tried their best. The Liverpool before him was very different from the Liverpool he led, and was much stronger.

The ball just now seemed to be a connection between Henderson and Li Qing, but in fact, Hodgson saw it very clearly that when Henderson and Li Qing started to cooperate, Mane, Firmino, Keita and others were already in position.

There is no doubt that Henderson was the initiator of this goal, but in fact, the precise positioning of his teammates made this attack have a lot of options, which was completely invisible in Liverpool's previous performance.

But Hodgson was still a little puzzled. Was Li Qing's previous performance just to confuse him, rather than a new tactic specially formulated by Klopp?

After the restart, the Crystal Palace players who were equalized seemed to have not recovered from the emotion of losing the ball. Henderson intercepted the ball in the midfield again and Liverpool immediately switched from defense to offense.

At this time, most of the Crystal Palace players who had just lost the ball had crossed the half-court. Except for the two central defenders and the goalkeeper, almost everyone was in Liverpool's half. Therefore, this interception was an excellent counterattack opportunity for Liverpool.

Henderson immediately sent the ball to the side, and the ball reached in front of Li Qing who had already started to move forward.

Henderson's kick was a bit too big and he obviously used too much strength. The ball landed at least ten meters away from Li Qing, while Crystal Palace's center back Sakho was closest to the ball and he immediately chased after it.

But just as Sako was chasing the ball, there was a cry of surprise from the stands, and his teammates behind him also shouted loudly, as if to remind him of something. However, because he was running too fast, all he could hear was the sound of the wind in his ears, and he could not hear clearly what they were shouting.

Just when he was feeling puzzled, a red figure flashed past him. Sarko was suddenly startled. It was Li Qing!

How could he run so fast? Sakho had already used 200% of his speed, but he saw the distance between him and Li Qing getting bigger and bigger. He could only watch Li Qing grab the ball.

Li Qing, who got the ball, was already in a one-on-one situation. Speroni did not expect Liverpool's counterattack to reach the front of the penalty area so quickly, so he abandoned the goal and attacked again.

Everyone thought that the scene that just happened would happen again, and Li Qing would once again penetrate Speroni's defense and reverse the score.

But this time everyone was wrong again. Facing Speroni, Li Qing actually made a horizontal pass and the ball rolled into the penalty area of ​​Crystal Palace. Mane had already rushed to the front of the penalty area.

Faced with the ball that suddenly appeared in front of him, Ma's heart jumped heavily, but this time he did not waste the opportunity. He just poked the ball forward, and the ball went into the goal of Crystal Palace.

“Goooooooooooal—Mane!”

Andy Gray's voice once again resounded throughout the studio, and Anfield Stadium was completely ignited.

"Super Mane, the connection between Li and Ma finally succeeded, Klopp's new tactics worked!" Martin Taylor also cheered. This goal allowed him to make up for what he had just explained to Andy.

While Klopp was swinging his fist, his brows were still furrowed. Li Qing had just passed the ball again. This was not like his style. The Li Qing from the first half was back again. What was he thinking?

After his team was overtaken, Hodgson's expression became relieved. He then looked deeply at Klopp who had just celebrated the goal on the sidelines.
