Li Qing, who scored the goal, was not as calm as he was in the past because this was the first goal of his professional career in the true sense of the word, even if it was only in the English Premier League.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. With the first goal, was the second one far away?
Brewster sent out an exquisite assist and became the target of Li Qing's hug. He smiled as he pointed his hands at Brewster. The two of them struck their palms together in tacit understanding and then hugged their teammates who came over to celebrate together.
After more than 80 minutes of hard work, they finally scored!
Glenn McAuley and Adekanye on the substitutes 'bench could be said to be the two people who suffered the most, especially Glenn McAuley. Li Qing's goal came from replacing him...
The substitute scored a goal on his debut. It could be said to be a textbook substitute appearance.
Changing people was like changing knives!
The reporters, media reporters, and spectators who came to the Kirkby Academy's training ground kept pressing the button in their hands to capture this wonderful moment. Some of them had a bold idea in their minds--perhaps in the near future, he would shock the world!
Most of them had been paying attention to Liverpool's U18 youth team before they started preparing for the 2016-2017 National Youth Premier League season, but they had never seen this yellow-skinned player. It was impossible to poach him from other teams before the season break. In other words, this player had been tapped internally and promoted from the U15-U16 echelon!
But no matter what, the ability that Li Qing displayed earlier was astonishing!
From the moment he took the ball, every step was like a textbook, especially when he received the ball and shot. There was no extra movement.
A natural shooter!
This was the evaluation given to Li Qing by the few reporters present, and it was also the core topic of the report. As for whether Li Qing could be kicked out in the future, that wasn't something they were considering.
Back to the topic, Neil Critchley excitedly celebrated the goal and quickly called Captain Masterson to explain how to play the next game.
With a goal scored before the end of the game, Middlesbrough's U18 would definitely not let it go!
Only by defending well in the last period of time could they win the game.
Of course, Neil Critchley did not intend to defend until the end of the match. He even specifically instructed Li Qing not to put in too much effort in defending in the following match. He only needed to put on a show!
Instead of playing the rest of the game nervously, it was better to take advantage of the Middlesbrough U18 players 'eagerness to equalize the score to completely kill the game!
The match resumed with the whistle of the referee on duty. Li Qing followed the tactical requirements of the head coach, Neil Criccielli, and only put on a show in defense, waiting for a chance to counterattack.
Liverpool's U18 was ranked third in the North District, and Middlesbrough's U18 was ranked eighth. There was a certain gap in their strength. It was very difficult for Middlesbrough's U18, who had defended for more than 80 minutes, to suddenly organize an effective attack, especially when all three substitutes had been used up.
It was as if the two teams had changed jerseys, switching offense and defense, but Liverpool's U18 defense was not under much pressure.
In the first minute of injury time, Masterson directly kicked the ball out of the way, and the football coincidentally flew to his side to attack the right flank.
"Look! It's number 28!"
The audience on the sidelines suddenly became excited!
A red bolt of lightning quickly swept along the right side of the sideline, chasing after the football's landing point.
Middlesbrough's U18 players all pressed past the half. Even the center backs came to the top of the arc of Liverpool's U18 defensive half. The exhaustion brought about by injury time was fatal, and Li Qingcai had only been on the bench for a few minutes and was full of energy.
Therefore, he could only hope that the football would fly out of the sidelines.
However, things did not go as he wished. Li Qing extended his right foot as he ran and used the arch of his foot to stop the football in front of him in an uninhabited area.
Middlesbrough U18 manager Liddle sighed helplessly. The defensive player was more than ten meters away from Li Qing. Could the goalkeeper complete the defense alone?
The answer was no.
Faced with the goalkeeper who had abandoned the goal to attack, Li Qing calmly circled the goalkeeper before kicking the football into the unguarded goal.
The plum blossom bloomed twice!
2：0！
There was still more than a minute left in injury time, which was equivalent to completely killing the game!
Almost all the players on the home team's substitutes 'bench rushed over the sidelines excitedly and pounced towards Li Qing, who had scored the second goal.
Neil Critchley once again raised his arms and shouted excitedly. He then high-fived his assistant, Mike Garrity, to celebrate the goal that sealed the victory!
The expressions on their faces couldn't hide their admiration for Li Qing. Before this, they had wanted Li Qing to slowly adapt to the U18 competition, but now it seemed like it was a little unnecessary.
Although Li Qing looked thin, his ability to fight was quite astonishing. He was not at a disadvantage when facing a burly defensive player who was over 1.8 meters tall!
A bold idea suddenly popped up in Neil Critchley's mind. Perhaps…U18 couldn't keep him around for too long…
U23？
No!
If Li Qing could continue to play like this for a few more months, perhaps…he would be able to be called up by Klopp and participate in the Premier League!
The striker, Mane, would be participating in the African Cup of Nations in January next year. Coupled with the massive injury frenzy of the players in the middle and front field, there were not many feasible solutions to promote young players, especially Kloppe, who liked to tap his potential.
The match ended with Liverpool U182: After defeating Middlesbrough U18 with 0, Li Qing, who was ordered to score two goals in the final stages, was the key to the home team's victory in the game. Therefore, he became the focus of the reporters and fans present.
This also gave Li Qing the feeling of a star player for the first time!
Of course, he did not lose himself here because he knew that the Premier League and Champions League were the real stage.
