Liverpool's U18 youth team was currently ranked third in the North District, only behind Manchester City and Manchester United's U18. 2. It was equivalent to giving Liverpool's U18 team the chance to overtake Manchester United's youth team and ascend to the top of the league.
However, the opportunity was right in front of them. Whether they could grasp it or not would depend on the performance of Liverpool's U18.
Glenn McAuley was Liverpool's top scorer for the U18 team. He had been closely marked by the Middlesbrough youth team players since the start of the game and had few chances to shoot, which caused Liverpool's U18 attack to be all talk and no action.
The first half ended at 45 minutes. The score was 0:0 ended.
Li Qing, who was sitting together with Brewster, was already eager to give it a try. He was waiting for the head coach, Neil Critchley, to summon him. However, the two successive substitutes had nothing to do with him.
Depressed!
In the blink of an eye, the match had reached the 70th minute. The score was still 0:0. If the game ended according to the current score, the top three positions would not change. It was even possible for Blackburn Rovers U18 to catch up.
It wasn't until the 75th minute that Li Qing heard the voice of the head coach, Neil Critchley, that was like the sound of nature."Li, go warm up and come back in ten minutes.”
It was eighty-five minutes after ten minutes. If that was the case…wasn't it too late?
Even though he thought so, his body reacted very quickly. He quickly took off his thick down jacket and ran towards the warm-up area.
Five minutes was a very short amount of time, but it would be at least eight minutes if injury time was added.
Eight minutes was enough to score a goal.
In other words, five minutes of regular time was enough for him to score.
His strength was enough to play in the English Premier League. Playing in the National Youth Premier League should be easy, right?
At the same time, Adekanye gazed enviously at Li Qing, who was running off to warm up. He suddenly felt that this winter seemed to be even colder, so cold that he could not help but shiver. The down jacket he was wearing was wrapped even tighter around him.
In the 86th minute, Brewster's shot missed the post of the goal. The referee blew the whistle in his mouth to signal a substitution on the sidelines.
Li Qing, who was wearing the number 28 jersey, replaced the number 9 Glenn McCauley.
Even though Glenn McCauley was very unwilling, he still had to follow the coach's arrangements. It was just that he did not complete the normal exchange ceremony with Li Qing-high-fives.
Adekanye and Glenn McCauley were clearly in cahoots. Li Qing had long guessed that this would happen, so he did not have any emotional fluctuations. He even became excited because of the system notification.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task of replacing Bobby Adekanye as the starting winger and participating in the National Youth Super League. You have received 5 ability points and 10 gold coins.”
On the other hand, the manager, Neil Critchley, raised his eyebrows and thought that Glenn McCauley was not gentlemanly at all.
However, his attention was quickly attracted by Li Qing, who had come on as a substitute. There were only four minutes left in the regular match time. Whether or not they could break the deadlock and kill the opponent would depend on Li Qing, whose ability was clearly a notch higher than his own team's players.
The English players were generally strong. Although Li Qing was now 57 kilograms, he was a little thinner than most of the Middlesbrough players. The Middlesbrough U18 manager, Liddle, gradually calmed down.
Liverpool, who was at home, would definitely step up their offense in the last few minutes. However, the last substitution was not a tall center forward. It meant that they would continue to pass and control in the last few minutes to find opportunities?
If that was the case, then…he would gladly accept it.
This match was Li Qing's first U18 match, and he especially treasured it. After obtaining the 5 ability points reward, he brainlessly added them all to his stats, making it reach the passing line of 60.
His seemingly thin body contained a lot of power!
The football passed through multiple passes and came to Li Qing's feet, who was attacking on the right flank, along the turf.
As soon as he stopped the ball, two Middlesbrough U18 defenders appeared in front of him. In addition, there were also defensive players eyeing him in the ribs. It was a little difficult to successfully complete the breakthrough.
Then again, it all depended on one's own efforts!
As a man who wanted to challenge for the top spot in the world, how could he lose in the U18 competition?
Li Qing raised his right index finger and stretched it forward, indicating for the right back, John Stone, to run forward.
The defensive players, who were originally close to the perimeter, were instantly attracted by John Stone, who was running along the sidelines. At this moment, Li Qing, who was controlling the ball with the outer foot of his left foot, suddenly pushed the ball forward.
Speed up!
The defending player standing in the ribs subconsciously stretched out his foot to poke, but Li Qing's foot speed was very fast. The inside of his left foot quickly buckled the ball forward, forming an accelerated breakthrough.
Brewster approached with tacit understanding, and Li Qing's eyes lit up as he had a talent that could be seen at a glance!
This…might be able to make a complicated situation simple!
He used the arch of his right foot to pass the football horizontally to the left before the defensive player rushed in. Then, he went around to the outside of the defensive player and ran quickly toward the end line.
Brewster did not stop the ball and passed the ball directly. The football rolled along the turf from the attacking right rib 30 meters away from the goal to the right rib of the penalty area.
When the Middlesbrough center back, who was dragging at the back, saw Li Qing chasing after the football, he subconsciously raised his right arm to remind the assistant referee that it was offside. However, the assistant referee followed Li Qing to run towards the end line, which meant that he was not offside!
"Dammit!"
Middlesbrough U18 manager Liddle stood up abruptly from his seat and roared angrily.
In a flash, the originally impenetrable defensive line of the Middlesbrough U18 youth team was forcefully torn open.
Li Qing, who was running, stopped the football with the outer foot of his left foot ten meters away from the end line on the right side of the penalty area. Without waiting for the defensive player to block in place and the goalkeeper to attack, he directly lifted his foot to shoot.
Middlesbrough's U18 goalkeeper, Brin, had just taken a step forward to abandon the goal and attack when he saw the football rolling quickly against the turf towards the far corner. He had to fall sideways, but the football's previous rolling speed was obviously faster than his body falling to the ground...
When Neil Critchley saw the football fall into the far end of the goal, he was so excited that he raised his arms and shouted.
Eighty-seven minutes, the first record!
