Having contributed a goal and an assist in just three minutes, Sancho appeared very excited. The surrounding Manchester City fans tacitly shouted," Sancho, Sancho, Sancho." Wave after wave, they seemed to see the one-sided massacre in the third round of the Youth Premier League reenacted.
The loud cheers resounded throughout the entire City College stadium. As the one being supported, Sancho was obviously enjoying it.
Before returning to his own half, he consciously looked at Li Qing, who had helped Liverpool's U18 score the first goal, and shrugged his shoulders.
Li Qing was somewhat speechless at Sancho's provocative actions. Wasn't it just contributing a goal and an assist?
The game has only started for less than 30 minutes. I have plenty of time to equalize the score and take the lead.
However…the depressing thing was that he did not activate the passive mission under such circumstances. Otherwise, he would be even more motivated.
The cameraman in charge of adjusting the scene captured this very meaningful scene, and then gave Li Qing a close-up shot of his face. Klop looked at Li Qing who was broadcasting the scene and had expectations."There is still plenty of time for the game. If you can surprise me enough, perhaps…I will consider temporarily transferring you to the First Team.”
Tong Shenbing, who was watching the match with the few Liverpool fans, stared at the frowning Li Qing and chose to encourage him silently.
The game resumed. Liverpool's U18, who had the kick-off advantage, did not create an offensive that was too threatening. It did not take long for the possession of the ball to change hands. Manchester City's U18, who was at home, once again took the initiative in the game.
Li Qing had the intention to help the team equalize the score, but his teammate was stunned by Manchester City's U18's two consecutive goals. He had just kicked off and made a few mistakes.
Of course, he did not blame his teammates.
The shadow left by the fiasco four months ago in this stadium was too great. It was not easy for them to take the lead, but they were quickly overtaken. How could they react?
Taking the initiative to assist in defense was likely not to reduce the overall pressure, but to bring about a huge hidden danger.
According to his understanding, only by cruising around the Manchester City U18 defenders would he be able to bring the greatest amount of pressure to his defensive teammates.
Manchester City's U18 two full-backs took turns to plug forward to participate in the attack. The center backs did not dare to go forward to participate in the attack. It was equivalent to having three defensive players on guard against Li Qing. With nine people defending against seven people, it was relatively easy to defend.
As time passed, the defense gradually stabilized according to Li Qing's imagination. Manchester City's U18 offense returned to the state of thunder and rain.
Liverpool's U18 did not just defend and not attack. They managed to complete two shots under Li Qing's leadership in the limited number of attacks, but they did not manage to score.
Manchester City's U18 defenders were very smart. They knew that they would foul the first time they switched from offense to defense, so Li Qing could only bring the football back. As such, the best opportunity to attack disappeared.
After a period of fast-paced offense, Manchester City's U18 slowed down. Liverpool's U18 got a rare chance to catch their breath and gradually gained more offensive opportunities.
Li Qing knew that this was Manchester City's U18's intention to counterattack.
Sancho and Enmecha were extremely fast. Diaz and Foden both had strong ball control and passing ability. As long as there was a suitable opportunity, they were likely to expand the score.
Thinking up to here, Li Qing suddenly slapped his forehead."Why am I thinking so much? Just score a goal and it's over!"
He focused all his attention on the goal, and a clearer idea of how to score a goal appeared in his mind.
After a few passes, the football came to Li Qing's feet. The Manchester City U18 defenders instantly focused their attention on him and did not dare to neglect him.
Although the first goal concede was very accidental, the attacking opportunities that Liverpool's U18 obtained were all created by Li Qing, so they had to pay attention to it.
Li Qing faced the two defenders and continued to play tricks with his feet. His feet constantly swayed above the football. Neither of the two defenders dared to take the initiative to go forward, afraid that the space behind them would be used.
Right at this moment, Li Qing suddenly used the outer instep of his left foot to push the football out and directly made a long pass.
No one had expected that Li Qing, who had always chosen to break through individually, would suddenly make a long pass, so no one was on guard.
The football flew quickly to the penalty area, and the landing point was very particular. It just bypassed the head of Manchester City's U18 center back, T-Wierson, who had jumped. It was difficult for goalkeeper A. Muri? to attack, but unfortunately, Glenn McCauley's reaction was slightly slower by half a beat. By the time he realized that the pass was for him, it was already a little too late. The weight of his forehead was too thin, causing the header angle to be too slanted and out of the goal post.
Glenn McCauley, who had missed a great opportunity, held his head in his hands and felt very annoyed.
Li Qing shook his head. His tacit understanding with Glenn McCauley was really too poor.
It seemed like…he had to rely on himself before Brewster came up.
The Manchester City U18 manager, Lee Carsley, raised his eyebrows slightly. He remembered that Li Qing's highlights had such a precise long cross to find a distant teammate or a teammate in the penalty area. This…was not a coincidence!
If they continued to use more defense than defense in the following matches, it would inevitably result in a serious shortage of defenders in the penalty area. If Li Qing were to send out such a high-quality pass, it would be troublesome…
Hence, he took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to make a gesture, indicating that the team members no longer needed to focus on defending against Li Qing.
Li Qing was far enough away from the goal. Breaking into the penalty area required him to break through the defense of several players. After all, not every left-footed player had Messi's skills.
Judging from the quality of the pass just now, the pass was more threatening.
The live broadcaster replayed the slow-motion replay of Liverpool's U18's attack that was the closest to scoring. Klop, who was sitting in his office watching the live broadcast of the game, could not help but praise,"The quality of this pass is really high. If the striker could have made a prediction earlier, even if it was half a second, the ball would have been there.”
