Young Football Player

Li Chenglong took a few steps back, leaving a suitable run-up distance, and then took two deep breaths to relax himself.

At this time, there were boos on the opening stage at Anfield, which made Li Chenglong a little flattered.

After all, the strength gap between the two teams is too great, and Liverpool has already achieved a huge advantage in the first round, so the atmosphere at Anfield in this game is relatively average, not as powerful as the legend says.

But this time Li Chenglong was about to take a free kick, and boos came from the stands.

Li Chenglong thought to himself: It seems that the previous performance has already left a certain impression on Liverpool fans, so this time we must work harder to give them another good impression.

beep~~~

The Belgian referee blew his whistle, indicating that Lee Chenglong could take a free kick.

Li Chenglong stood on tiptoe of his right toe, turned his ankle twice, let his ankle relax a bit, then stepped on the ground with his foot, started and ran up.

According to Bruce Lee's position, he should want to hit the door directly...

Lee... run-up... hit the door!!!

Li Chenglong swung his arms to run up to the ball, slowed down slightly and tilted his body to stand on the supporting foot, swung his right leg back high, then retracted his leg with force, his right leg fell down like a heavy whip, and the front part of the foot was solid Kick the ball.

At this moment, Li Chenglong felt that the touch under his feet was very good, he exerted enough force and at the same time pressed the ball, and the moment before the ball went out, he rubbed the ball just right.

With extreme speed and rapid rotation, the ball flew around the wall in an instant, drew a long arc in the air, and circled towards the near post of the goal.

Liverpool did not play their main goalkeeper Reina in this game, but the substitute goalkeeper, Australian Brad Jones.

Jones stood in front of the goal a little casually at the beginning. He thought it was a free kick that was not a big threat. After all, the position was not very good, and the kicker was still a 17-year-old teenager.

But after the ball flew out, Jones found out that he was wrong.

The speed of the ball was extremely fast, and he didn't have much reaction time at all. He just instinctively moved towards the direction where the ball started to fly, and moved towards the far post of the goal, but the ball drew an arc in the air, and then circled back to the near post. At the end, with an extremely fast spin, he slammed into the net from the angle between the goal crossbar and the post.

When Jones saw the ball turning, he knew that something was wrong, but this was the starting opportunity he finally got, and he didn't want to just give up, so he also changed his focus and tried to rush back to save the ball.

But the continuous passive change of the center of gravity made him unable to control his feet at all. His knees softened and he knelt in front of the goal.

However, his head was still deflected, watching the ball fly into his net.

Goooooooooal~~~~~~~~ Mortensen let out a long cry.

Unbelievable~~~Unbelievable~~~~!!!

Bruce Lee hit an unrivaled free kick, it was a beautiful goal, it was a perfect arc free kick.

Look at the performance of the Australians. Faced with such a nearly perfect free kick, the goalkeeper can only kneel in front of the goal helplessly, unable to do anything.

Bruce Lee's goal reminds me of David (Beckham). The free kick Lee just hit has the same characteristics as David's free kick. The ball is extremely fast and the arc is very large. The viewing degree of free kicks from the line is maximized.

Even at the moment of kicking the ball, their movements have a certain similarity.

I'm sure this little guy must have practiced following David's free kicks...

The moment the ball went around the wall, Li Chenglong knew that the ball must be there. He didn't believe that the Australian goalkeeper on the opposite side could save his own free kick.

Even at that moment, he had a domineering feeling that no goalkeeper could save his free kick.

So before the ball actually flew into the net, Lee Chenglong started to turn around, took two steps forward, jumped up, and punched hard into the air.

It's the way he's been used to celebrating goals since he was a kid.

On the sidelines, head coach Peter Houston and assistant coach Toby Harrison embraced and celebrated excitedly, and Harrison spit out his saliva between shouts.

On the court, Li Chenglong was also surrounded by his teammates, shouting and celebrating.

Bruce~~~Awesome~~~That ball!!

You are the Beckham of our Dundee United!!!

As far as this series is concerned, this is just an inconsequential goal, which is excellent to watch at best, but it has little effect on Dundee United's promotion.

But for Dundee United, this is a goal to prove themselves.

Facing Liverpool, which is much stronger than them, they can also score goals, and it is a very beautiful goal.

After the crazy celebrations, there is not much time left in the game.

Liverpool didn't have the desire to continue attacking, because their advancement was already certain. Dundee United wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to score another goal, but after all, there was no good way because of the gap in strength.

So in the last few minutes of the game, both teams played lazy.

So in the TV broadcast screen, the goal of Li Chenglong just now was continuously played back.

Li Chenglong's deep breathing when preparing, turning his ankle on tiptoe, the whole process of running up and kicking the ball, and the celebration after scoring a goal, all of these have been replayed in slow motion.

Finally, after two minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Dundee United drew 1:1 with Liverpool at Anfield, but was still eliminated with a total score of 1:4. This season's UEFA Cup is over.

The Liverpool fans at home were celebrating the team's promotion to the next round, but the celebration was not enthusiastic, because the goal of Lee Cheng-yong always made them feel that it was almost meaningless.

The few Dundee United fans who came to the away game were disappointed because the team was eliminated, but there was also a sliver of comfort in the loss, which was the goal by Jackie Lee.

※※※

Chenglong Lee did not attend the press conference after the game, but this did not prevent him from being the focus of the conference.

In such a game with great disparity in strength and little suspense about the result of the game, Li Chenglong's free kick became the only bright spot of the audience. With the reputation of Liverpool, a giant in the Premier League, Li Chenglong became famous with one goal.

That goal was indeed beautiful, but it didn't affect the result of the game. It was enough for us to advance to the next round. Liverpool coach Hodgson was very simple and didn't say much.

Dundee United coach Houston talked a lot. This is the first time in his coaching career that he has faced so many British journalists, so he must speak carefully.

I have long been ready to arrange for Bruce to play, and that's what I mean by putting him on the roster.

The purpose of me replacing Bruce was to help the team win, not to give up the game. Although we failed to win in the end, it was an acceptable result to be able to take away a draw from Anfield.

We paid attention to Bruce when he was still in Crystal Palace. After I became the head coach of the team in the summer, I immediately promoted the plan to introduce him. Unfortunately, the price could not be negotiated. We can only temporarily rent, but we have a buyout. terms.

He used to play as a defensive midfielder in Crystal Palace, but after he came to the team, I arranged for him to play on the wing based on his technical characteristics. He did not live up to my expectations of him.

This is the first game of Bruce's career. Facing a wealthy team, Bruce scored his first goal. There is no doubt that he has an infinitely bright future...

In the words of Peter Huston, he has become the well-deserved Bole of Jackie Chan, a genius who became famous with one goal.
