Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chelsea's morale was significantly affected after the restart of the game. They became very impatient in passing forward and no longer relied on Jorginho to organize the attack. Hazard and Willian used their excellent footwork skills to threaten Robertson and Arnold on both sides.

However, as time went on, the high-spirited Liverpool players gradually suppressed the Chelsea players' attack through active running and tacit substitutions, and had the opportunity to organize the attack forward again.

Mane, Firmino and Salah had a higher and higher tacit understanding, which put more and more pressure on Chelsea's defense. Chelsea coach Sarri decided to make substitutions first.

Due to the score being two goals behind, Sarri made two position adjustments directly.

Morata, who was more mobile, replaced Giroud, and Moses replaced Willian. The formation changed from 433 to 352. Rudiger, David Luiz and Azpilicueta formed three central defenders, Marcos Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic and Moses in the midfield, and Morata and Hazard formed two forwards.

The broadcast changed and gave Liverpool coach Klopp a close-up shot of his face. The meaning was very obvious, that is, they wanted to see Klopp make tit-for-tat adjustments.

Football matches often attract attention not only from the on-field games, but also from the battle of wits and courage between the two coaches off the field.

The positive effects of Morata and Moses' appearances were obvious, especially Morata, whose mobility caused a lot of trouble for Van Dijk and Joe Gomez, giving Hazard the opportunity to join the attack.

Three minutes later, in the 66th minute of the game, Liverpool made the first substitution of the game, with 'Swiss Messi' Shaqiri replacing Salah. This substitution was very surprising.

Almost everyone thought that Klopp would replace offensive players with defensive players, but the result was an adjustment on the offensive end. Shaqiri, who came on as a substitute, did not appear as a right winger, but... an offensive forward, and the one who appeared in the winger position was... Li Qing!

Li Qing came to the familiar right winger position, and the pressure felt by Chelsea's defensive players was obviously increased. There were multiple players in the front midfielder position where Li Qing was located, but it was different when he came to the winger position. The same defensive base came to defend the left side, which would inevitably cause Chelsea's central and right defenses to be tight, and might even expose huge hidden dangers.

But there was no better way for Sarri. What the team needed now was a goal.

In the 70th minute, Chelsea switched from defense to offense. The defensive players were worried that Li Qing's counterattack would bring a huge threat. The forward assist range was very limited. It was difficult to create fatal offensive opportunities with fewer players and knowing each other's technical characteristics.

"Klopp's adjustment this time was overwhelming!"

Tianchao 5 Channel commentator He Wei gave an evaluation.

Li Qing, who came to the familiar right side, gradually showed his best personal state on the offensive end. Breakthroughs and passes could cause bursts of exclamations of lingering fear over the Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea also paid two yellow cards for this. What made Liverpool fans in front of the TV depressed was that Li Qing's direct free kick failed to score again, otherwise he could have created a miracle in the world of football!

Manchester City coach Guardiola, who was sitting in the audience, felt desperate. His team will visit Anfield in the next round. Liverpool can lead Chelsea 3:1 under the leadership of Li Qing in a passive situation at Stamford Bridge, which is enough to explain many problems. Although Li Qing did not perform a free kick, his state is really good.

Five minutes later, Chelsea made the last adjustment. Barkley, who transferred from Everton, replaced Kovacic to strengthen the attack.

Compared with Kovacic, Barkley has stronger speed, physical strength and scoring ability, and is more familiar with Liverpool.

Originally, Sarri's adjustment was very targeted, but Barkley's defense was more impetuous and the tactical execution was not high enough. These two obvious defects were fully exposed when he defended Li Qing for the first time.

In the 79th minute, Li Qing made a sudden cut inside after a continuous pass with Henderson and Firmino to shake off Kante. Barkley, who was defending, was also shaken by Li Qing with a realistic fake move. He had a strong sense of responsibility and forgot the coach Sarri's instructions and Jorginho behind him. He tripped Li Qing who had completed the breakthrough on the right side of the top of the penalty area.

"Beep~"

The referee Anthony Taylor blew the whistle, indicating that Barkley had committed a foul and showing a yellow card.

"Fark!"

Sarri said something and shook his hands angrily. Compared with Li Qing's previous two direct free kicks that did not hit the goal range, this position was obviously more dangerous.

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, raised his voice by eight degrees: "Ross Barkley's foul was too impetuous. He brought Liverpool a direct free kick with an excellent position!"

Barkley, who committed a foul, also realized that he had made a big mistake at this time, but he could not do anything about it. Professional players are often like this. The football can pass, but people cannot.

Goalkeeper Kepa had the urge to curse. If you commit a foul, can't you be a little off?

Giving a direct free kick with such a good position, are you trying to trick me?

The Liverpool fans in the audience and in front of the TV were excited and full of expectations.

Chelsea fans frowned and were worried.

It is certainly a good thing that Li Qing set a record of four direct free kicks, but their team will always be in the background. Those Chelsea fans who are Kepa fans are even more depressed...

If Chelsea becomes the background business card, Kepa will always be nailed to the wall of shame, so Kepa nervously arranged a six-man wall, sometimes asking his teammates to move to the right, and sometimes asking his teammates to move to the left, until the main goal Coach Anthony Taylor reminded Cai reluctantly that the wall was in place.

When Li Qing saw the Chelsea wall set up, he bent down and picked up the placed football, spun it around a few times, then lowered his head and kissed the football, his eyes gradually becoming sharper, like an eagle looking down at the earth.

He saw Kepa through the wall of people who was constantly adjusting in small steps. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he had the best plan in mind.

In the past, both direct free kicks were so focused on the perfect combination of angle and power that they were unable to hit the goal. This time, the position was better and the psychological pressure on Chelsea players was greater, so we can start from the psychological aspect.

"Beep~"

Just then, Anthony Taylor blew his whistle.

All the fans at Stamford Bridge looked at Li Qing with bated breath as he started to run. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and goalkeeper Kepa even swallowed his saliva.

Hazard, Jorginho, Kante and other Chelsea players are constantly praying, hoping that God can stop Li Qing.

The six Chelsea players acting as a human wall watched Li Qing swing his left foot and subconsciously jumped on the spot. Goalkeeper Keita looked above intently.

damn it!

He was so nervous that he saw the football rolling quickly from the bottom of the wall to the far end of the goal. His pupils shrank suddenly and he was stunned for half a second. It was too late to react...

The football hit the snow-white net in the lower left corner of the goal. The air in the Stamford Bridge stadium seemed to be completely frozen at this moment, forgetting to make any sound. He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, reacted very quickly and was ecstatic: "The ball is in! The ball is in!" Go in! Li Qing created a miracle in the 81st minute of the game! The first free kick player in the world! Incredible performance!"
