The format of the Youth FA Cup is basically the same as that of the FA Adult Cup, the FA Cup is a tiebreaker from the beginning to the final, and the final is played at the new Wembley Stadium, the FA Youth Cup is a tiebreaker from the first round to the 1/4 final, the venue is decided by lot, and the semi-finals and finals are calculated according to the home and away legs.

Manchester City’s 1/16 final at home to Liverpool Under-18s is a tiebreaker, and if the match is drawn, the two sides will play a 30-minute extra time, and if the overtime cannot be divided, the game will go into a brutal penalty shootout.

Of course, the 90 minutes of regular time is not over, the distance between overtime and penalty shootout is still far away, Li Qing, the youngest in this game, naturally clenched his fists, although his own defense is not strong, but he wants to help the team advance to the round of 16 with his own strength!

Previously, agent Mendes had communicated with first-team manager Jurgen Khop, saying that Li Qing’s current strength is several steps higher than that of U18 players, and there is little value in promoting to U23 training, hoping to enter the first team.

If there is no place in the first team, then I hope the club will let Li Qing go to other teams to exercise.

Jurgen Klopp has made it clear that he has decided to stay in the FA Youth Cup, and if he performs well, he can enter the first team and instead loan him to a team willing to offer a chance to play.

Three goals were arguably excellent, but Li Qing didn’t want to experience the feeling of losing, so he decided to help his team score another overscore goal in a limited time to advance to the last 16 of the FA Youth Cup.

Liverpool Under-18 manager Neil Crecherley made personnel changes before the game resumed, replacing Glenn McCauley with Brewster to increase the tacit understanding between the frontcourt players and Li Qing.

The score was back in balance, but time was running out and both sides became cautious in attack, and threats like Manchester City’s Under-18s that had been trying to do some time ago were rarely passed, apparently fearing that high-return and low-success passes would be recognized by the opponent and thus play a high-quality counterattack.

Of course, this is also related to the decline in the player’s physical fitness, once the football under the foot is broken, it is difficult to have physical strength to recover, even if the recovery is timely, then what about the next time?

Li Qing’s physical fitness also declined, but the head coach did not assign him defensive tasks, so he was still able to sprint and run at great speed for more than ten minutes into the game.

Manchester City Under-18 manager Lee Kasley saw that Li Qing was still full of physical fitness and realized that the situation could be very bad, so he took advantage of a dead-ball opportunity to pull Foden to explain.

As a result, the FA Youth Cup 1/16 final entered the slowest pace since the start of the match.

The game went into a slow pace, Liverpool’s Under-18 players got a rare respite, and the scene became glued, and no one could help anyone.

Ten minutes passed quickly in the glued scene, the game came to 85 minutes, the three substitutions available to both sides had been used up, and the stalemate in the score could not arouse the player’s determination to score, resulting in the score never being able to change.

With less and less time playing, Li Qing found that Manchester City’s Under-18 defense was becoming more and more layered, especially his active attacking right wing.

To face goalkeeper A. Muric he had to pass five levels and cut six players, which is difficult to do with his current skills, dribbling and possession values, so he secretly bought two five-star technology cards in the system store and waited for the opportunity to use them again.

Sancho, Diaz and Foden, the three star players, have been affected by the decline in fitness and their offensive motivation has declined, but it does not mean that they do not want to attack, but they are accumulating physical energy and waiting for the opportunity to kill the game!

Scoring a goal in this time period is tantamount to a lore!

In the blink of an eye, three minutes later, Diaz’s dribbling in front of the box was cut off by Harvey White, and Liverpool’s Under-18s were given a chance to switch from defense to attack.

According to the arrangement of head coach Neil Crecherley, football should go to Li Qing as soon as possible.

Substitute Dillman pounced on Li Qing and fouled before he could catch the ball.

The referee blew his whistle and signaled Dillman to foul.

Li Qing’s vision was wide, and seeing the slow replay of Manchester City’s Under-18 players, he suddenly realized that this might be a good counter-attacking opportunity.

He quickly got up from the ground, stopped the football that he had fallen in his arms, and quickly kicked Brewster, who came on as a substitute.

Brewster and Li Qing seem to have a natural tacit understanding, he does not make any stops, and directly passes the football forward.

Dillman, who had committed a foul, was still saying something to the referee, when he suddenly heard a roar behind him: “Defense! ”

At the same time, Dillman felt a strong wind coming from his side, and turned to see, that… It is the most threatening Li Qing of Liverpool U18!

Worst!

Almost all Manchester City Under-18 players thought that Liverpool Under-18s would slow to drive free kicks at the back, and the speed of running back was relatively slow, until Brewster kicked the ball to Li Qing and suddenly realized something….

Li Qing swept forward quickly, and Rattibodier, who had significantly lost his fitness, crashed into Li Qing from the side with a yellow card, but he obviously underestimated Li Qing’s speed and overestimated his speed, and the two did not have any physical contact.

To outsiders, Ratibaudier looks more like falling to the ground while running.

Manchester City’s Under-18 centre-backs, T. Wilerson and E. Francis, quickly returned to the defence, keeping a distance from each other, and Giovanni reached for Brewster, who was trying to pick up.

Li Qing, who dribbled the ball, could quickly distinguish the situation even without looking up, he quickly dribbled the ball across the halfway line and took the initiative to take the ball to T. Wilerson and E. Francis.

Manchester City Under-18 backcourt three defense, manager Lee Kasley instantly felt a sense of irritation, he rushed to the sidelines when everyone was focused on the pitch, and roared: “Foul! ”
