The match time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the first half. In addition to sending out a precise long pass that almost assisted Glenn McCauley, Li Qing also sent out long passes of extremely high quality, bringing new changes to Liverpool's U18 offense.
As a result, Manchester City U18 manager Lee Carsley was even more determined to ask the players to limit Li Qing's passing and strengthen the defense in the penalty area. He would strive to cut off the connection between Li Qing and his teammates, thus ensuring the safety of A Muric guarding the goal.
At the end of the 45-minute regular time, the fourth official held up an electronic card showing one minute of injury time, which meant that there was only one minute left in the first half of the game.
Foden's penetrating pass found the striker, Enmecha. The latter did not exert any strength to shoot under Masterson's close interference, and the football was easily caught by goalkeeper Grabala.
Sancho and Diaz had a strong sense of counter-snatching and rushed over at the first moment. Grabala, who wanted to kick off the ball, had to choose to go around. It was also because of this detour that Liverpool U18 lost the best chance to counterattack and instead pushed forward layer by layer.
Li Qing's figure froze and he slowly ran back. Glenn McCauley ran forward according to the strategy and blocked between the two center backs of the opponent.
Manchester City's U18 fullback, Rattibordier, followed behind Li Qing. Liverpool's U18 right-back, Harvey White, stuck close to the sidelines, and Diaz was stuck in the defensive ribs.
The players on both sides stood in their positions. Jordan Hunt, who was holding the ball, crossed the center line and passed the ball to Li Qing, who was receiving the ball, without too many passing targets.
Lartibordier hurriedly stuck close to Li Qing, trying his best not to give him the chance to face the attack head-on.
Who would have thought that Li Qing, who seemed to be catching the ball, would suddenly spread his legs and let the football pass. Then, he quickly stuck close to the right side of Lathibordier's body and completed a 90-degree turn.
When Lathibordier saw the football rolling over, he subconsciously stretched out his leg to block it. In the end, not only did he not block the ball, he even let Li Qing stick close to him to complete the turn.
Xavi White did not stop the ball and passed it straight. The football rolled along the turf to the empty space behind Lartibordier. Diaz and Dele Bashru, who was in the middle, went to fill the empty space left by Lartibordier, the left-back.
Li Qing sped up to receive the ball and crossed positions with Harvey White. He ran to the right with the football from his ribs, pulling away the distance between him and Basilu and Diaz.
The arch of his right foot moved forward against the football that was rolling forward and accelerated.
Basilu and Diaz immediately realized what Li Qing wanted to do, but their speed was limited, and the distance between them was far. Thus, they could only passively choose to run in a straight line to block Li Qing's internal cutting angle.
At the critical moment, they remembered their coach saying that Li Qing was left-handed and that he would sooner or later switch to his left foot to walk towards the inside line.
The Liverpool U18's offensive speed was lifted by Li Qing just like that. The players in the middle and front field ran forward without holding back.
The attack was likely to end at halftime, and the Liverpool U18 players ran without holding back, immediately putting great pressure on the Manchester City U18 defenders. The manager, Lee Carsley, who was standing in the technical area, suddenly felt a sense of unease.
The middle was in a crisis, and Diaz signaled his teammate Basru to take care of the middle while he chased back. He could defend Li Qing alone.
Neil Critchley looked at Li Qing, who was accelerating to the extreme. He was like a red Ferrari that had stepped on the accelerator to the bottom as he charged towards the baseline.
Diaz's speed was inferior to Li Qing's, but he chose his position cleverly, blocking the path that Li Qing had to pass through.
As the distance between them got closer and closer, Li Qing's speed decreased slightly. Facing Diaz, he chose to unreasonably increase his speed and accelerate from the outside. He used his speed to eat Diaz alive and entered the penalty area from the outside.
Bashlu tried his best to run back, only to see Li Qing swing his right foot. Bashlu thought that Li Qing was going to cross to the middle, so he fell to the ground to shovel while running. In the end, Li Qing swung his right foot and stopped the football in place.
He saw Diaz pounce on him again from the corner of his eye, and he had an idea. He gently poked the football with the tip of his left foot, and the football rolled across the grass under Diaz's crotch, who had rushed to defend. The whole movement was done in one go, and his body crossed Diaz, who could not stop the car.
Li Qing solemnly extended his left foot, and the outer instep of his foot suddenly pushed the ball to the left, just in time to avoid the center back T. Wilson's attempt to clear the siege.
In a flash, Manchester City's U18 penalty area instantly became jittery, so much so that the surrounding Manchester City fans forgot to make a sound and chose to stare blankly at the players from both sides in the penalty area.
Li Qing's left foot took a step forward and used his body to block Fu Deng's defensive route. The latter subconsciously stopped on the spot, afraid of knocking over his opponent.
Li Qing, who had the talent to dive, had the thought of taking advantage of the situation and falling forward in a flash, but when he thought that he wasn't the one taking the penalty kick, he stuck his butt out and carried the unable to brake Foden. He quickly raised his left foot and kicked towards the football.
Manchester City's U18 goalkeeper, A. Muri?, saw the football drill out of the gap between the players and roll quickly toward the far corner of the goal. He had already lowered his center of gravity and pushed his right foot hard against the ground. The huge reaction force between the soles of his feet and the ground made his body like a compressed spring. With a whoosh, he bent over and pounced.
"Dammit!"
A. Muri?, whose momentum came to an abrupt halt, looked at the football that was still a few centimeters away from his fingertips. His eyes were filled with despair.
Li Qing saw the football stick to the far end of the goal post and cross the goal line. He excitedly spread his arms and rushed towards the away team's technical area.
Behind him was a group of teammates who could not suppress their emotions.
The bald middle-aged man in the northeast corner shook his head. The Manchester City U18 player in the sky blue jersey had already done his best, but Li Qing, who was wearing a red jersey, had a devilish performance. In the penalty area, he was like a butterfly dancing through flowers. His final shot was calm enough, so it was logical for him to concede the goal.
Even Klop, who was sitting in front of the television, was stirred up by Li Qing's humanist goal. He excitedly raised his arms and shouted. Looking at the tender face shown on the broadcast screen, an idea sprouted in his heart.
Was he…really not sixteen yet?
Too monstrous!
