The referee on duty quickly blew his whistle after signaling that the goal was valid. This also meant that the first half of the 2016-2017 FA Youth Cup 1/16 final between Manchester City and Liverpool U18 had come to an end.
The live broadcaster pointed the camera at Li Qing, letting the fans watching the live broadcast of the game in front of their televisions recognize him. This person…was the player who had helped Liverpool U18 equalize the score with his own strength!
Neil Critchley, Gerrard, and Mike Garrity hugged Li Qing, who scored the goal, tightly. The other players followed suit, reflecting the excellent atmosphere within the team.
Adekanye, who had always been prejudiced against Li Qing, had no choice but to admit Li Qing's excellence at this time. Not to mention the two goals in this game, the eleven goals he had contributed in the first four games was an achievement that he could not catch up to in the entire season.
Li Qing, who was surrounded by his coach and teammates, was very excited. He finally helped the team equalize the score through his personal efforts, but he was not satisfied. There were still forty-five minutes left in the second half. He hoped to help the team defeat Manchester City U18 on his own!
This game was determined to be a dialogue between the strong, and there were certainly many scouts from the various clubs who paid attention to it. Perhaps... the scouts of the major clubs were hidden among the fans watching the game.
Just as Li Qing had guessed, there were scouts among the fans of both teams, and they were scouts from famous clubs.
Mendes, who was busy watching the live broadcast, couldn't help but smile. The price he had paid to sign Li Qing was a little too high, and it had some elements of gambling. Now, it seemed that Li Qing indeed had that talent. Based on his performance, he was even more outstanding than Messi, who had shone brilliantly in La Masia back then.
Perhaps, Li Qing really had the potential to grow into a superstar on the level of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi!
In this way, his investment would receive a huge return!
……
There were no spectator stands in the stadium for the FA Youth Cup match. The fans who were present stood around the field, so the players naturally did not have a so-called locker room.
Of course, the home team was an exception.
The Liverpool U18 players, led by Li Qing, sat on the sidelines, allowing the media reporters to press the shutter button continuously. The first half that had just ended was extremely tiring, and the water consumption was severe. They had to seize the time to rest and replenish their water. Otherwise, the second half of the game would be worrying.
There were only two players who performed well in the first half, one on each side, Sancho and Li Qing.
Sancho scored two goals with a pass and Li Qing scored two goals. The reporters and the media knew that no matter how the second half of the game went, Sancho and Li Qing's excellent performance in the first half could make the headlines.
The sky gradually darkened, and the high-powered headlights on all sides of the stadium lit up, but it did not make the falling temperature rise. A breeze blew, and Tong Shenbing, who was standing on the sidelines, could not help but shiver. The warm fragrance in his mouth blew on his clasped hands, and he whispered,"If I had known earlier, I would have brought a down jacket out. It's so cold.”
Right at this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of her. She raised her head and saw Li Qing standing in front of her with a thick down jacket. His handsome face was covered in sweat."Cousin Tong, since you're so cold, take it and wear it.”
Tong Shenbing was one of the few female fans at Manchester City's City College Stadium. It was especially cold when it was almost six in the afternoon, even though she was already wearing a lot.
Beautiful girls were especially pitiable. When the Liverpool fans saw Li Qing putting a down jacket on Tong Shenbing, they raised their palms and applauded Li Qing's actions.
Tong Shenbing was just about to say that there was no need, but Li Qing had already shrugged his shoulders and returned to the team. Towards this, she could only helplessly put on Li Qing's thick down jacket.
Other than keeping warm, she could also smell a faintly discernible masculine scent from the down jacket. Looking ahead, Li Qing listened attentively to the coach. That focused expression, under the illumination of the lights, seemed to…become even more handsome.
……
The fifteen-minute halftime interval passed quickly, and the players from both teams returned to the field one after another. Perhaps their respective coaches were very satisfied with the performance of the players on the field in the first half, but no one took the lead in making substitution adjustments.
Liverpool's U18, who had the kick-off advantage, was not in a hurry to organize the attack. After many passes, the football came to the feet of Li Qing, who was attacking on the right flank.
The wonderful goal before the end of the first half was still vivid in their minds. Manchester City's U18 defenders did not dare to neglect it and held their breaths.
Li Qing could not help but grin when he saw the other side's solemn expressions. He raised his right foot and made an illusion of wanting to pass the ball to Coyle, who had plugged in, to trick Diaz into lifting his foot to block the ball.
He quickly put down his right foot and supported himself with both feet. The inside of his left foot suddenly buckled the football to the front right. His right foot quickly stepped on the football and pulled it to the left. The fullback, Rattibordier, who had been passively moved to the outside, had no choice but to stop on the spot and follow Li Qing's dribbling change to retract.
Who knew that Li Qing would pull the ball back halfway to the left and poke the ball forward with the tip of his foot. The football stuck close to the ground and passed through the crotch of Lathibordier, who had just taken a step forward.
Lathibordier's pupils contracted slightly. It was obviously too late to quickly close his legs. Li Qing started on the spot, and his powerful explosive power was vividly displayed in this instant. Diaz, who wanted to raise his leg to foul, did not even touch a single hair on his leg. He could only watch helplessly as Li Qing chased after the football.
Originally, Li Qing had only wanted to casually test Manchester City's U18 defense, but the result was much weaker than he had imagined.
The beginning of the first and second half was indeed the easiest time to score goals!
Li Qing completely increased his speed, and it was already too late for him to give chase.
At this moment, he was like a wild horse that had lost its reins, charging at the empty space in front of him at full speed.
"He's really fast!"
“Oh-My-God! Was this guy driving a Ferrari?”
" Unbelievable speed!"
……
Accompanied by the exclamations of the fans on the sidelines, the bald middle-aged man standing in the northeast corner whispered,"Surpass the score?"
Facing T. Wilson, who was defending from the front, Li Qing faked a move from right to left to the top of the penalty area arc while dribbling the ball at high speed. He tricked T. Wilson into moving to the middle, and as a result, the inside of his left foot slammed the ball straight into the penalty area.
T. Wilson obviously couldn't make it in time to turn around and follow. His partner, E. Francis, just happened to come out from the diagonal line. Seizing the opportunity, he used his right shoulder to collide with Li Qing's left shoulder, which had just entered the penalty area.
Li Qing's strength was obviously insufficient, and their tonnages were not of the same level. He was instantly knocked to the ground, and his control over the football naturally came to an abrupt end.
He thought that the attack was over, but he suddenly heard a whistle."Beep ~"
His eyes lit up as he saw the referee pointing at the penalty spot.
This…
A penalty kick!
F * ck!
His talent was showing off!
