Football: The strongest post-zero generation

With the arrival of Liverpool, Tottenham has become lively, because the first leg of the League Cup semi-final will be held at Wembley Stadium, and Tottenham will be at home to face the challenge of Liverpool.

Early in the game, the coaches of the two teams had already announced the starting list on the official website. The names of two of them suddenly made many people look forward to the game.

These two people are Tottenham Hotspur striker Son Heung-min and Liverpool's star player, Premier League scorer Li Qing.

Because these two people are both Asians, they are also the absolute main force of their respective clubs, and they are also the core of the frontcourt attack, so what kind of sparks they will collide in this game is very exciting.

In the last FA Cup game, Tottenham swept the opponent with a big score of 7:0 to advance, and at the same time, many main players got the opportunity to rest to prepare for this League Cup game.

And the Asian king Son Heung-min, who did not get a rest, has been in a very hot state recently. In the past 6 games, he has participated in the team's 12 goals.

As for Liverpool, they have won all the games so far this season. As the core of the attack, Li Qing's goal volume has slightly decreased recently, but the data is still not comparable to that of Son Heung-min.

Therefore, this game is also the best opportunity for the two Asian super strikers to prove themselves. So before the game started, media people from all sides began to make their own judgments on this game through various gossips and past data.

[The Times]: There is no doubt that the victory or defeat of this game lies in the core players of the two teams, and the duel between Li and Sun is not the only highlight.

[The Sun]: Compared with Tottenham's starting lineup, Liverpool is more like completing the task, and Li's starting lineup is just to appease the fans.

[The Guardian]: Liverpool's first defeat this season is about to reveal the mystery, and the victory aura of genius Li may not bless his team!

[The Mirror]: The passionate collision between the second and the first in the league, the League Cup will be the best venue for Tottenham to prove themselves.

[Mail]: Liverpool recognizes the reality and gives up the League Cup. With Tottenham's strength, they can only show their style in this unimportant cup.

The media's voice has attracted enough attention to the match between Liverpool and Tottenham, but that's all. Compared with the game, another hot spot in this game has also attracted many people's attention.

Starting from this season, the English Football Association decided to introduce VAR technology from the League Cup semi-finals and finals to prepare for the full use of VAR technology in the Premier League next season.

The use of VAR technology has always been controversial in the football world, but from last year's World Cup in Russia, if used properly, it will not affect the smoothness of the game, but on the contrary, it can increase the expectations of players and spectators.

Among the five major leagues today, only the Premier League is lagging behind in the introduction of VAR technology. This season, the English Football Association is still very cautious about how to introduce the use of VAR technology, and finally decided to use it in the League Cup semi-finals and finals.

Therefore, this game is not just an ordinary League Cup semi-final, but also a milestone game that can be recorded in the history of English football.

For such a game, Tottenham, who are playing at home, naturally take it very seriously, and this can be seen from their lineup.

Except for the goalkeeper, who is the substitute goalkeeper Gazzaniga, Alderweireld, Rose, Sissoko, Ali, Eriksen, Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and other main players will all appear.

On the Liverpool side, the goalkeeper is the substitute Mignolet, the defenders are the substitutes and youth team lineup led by Randall and Morello, and the midfielders are Curtis Jones, Rafael Camacho and Milner.

On the forward line, Li Qing, Sturridge and Origi lead the forward trident, which can be said to be the strongest link of Liverpool in this game, but compared with the opponent Sun Xinghan, Ali and Kane, it is still a little worse.

However, the spectators are not afraid of trouble, especially the fans in London, who are looking forward to seeing Liverpool lose at their home court. After all, Liverpool's performance this season is too strong.

Many people hope that the team they support will be the team that ends Liverpool's winning streak, so the Wembley Stadium where this game is held is almost full.

This can be regarded as creating a strange and embarrassing record. In the semi-finals of two giant teams that are not full of main players, the stadium is almost full of enthusiastic fans.

Li Qing stood in front of the ball, looking at the goal not far away. In the opponent's half, Tottenham's players were ready.

In the Wembley Stadium that can accommodate 90,000 people, at least 50,000 people are Tottenham fans today. At this time, they are cheering for the team they support in unison to create a home atmosphere.

Seeing that almost half of the stadium is full of fans wearing the opponent's white jerseys, Li Qing's eyes flashed with a cold light. When the referee blew the whistle, Li Qing did not pass Sturridge's ball back to the midfielder to organize the attack.

[Superstar Moment] Start!

When Li Qing saw that Tottenham's goalkeeper Gazzaniga was standing a little forward today, he was already planning to do so.

But compared to intimidating opponents, Li Qing believes that scoring a goal is a more direct way to intimidate.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the ball was like lightning, like a cannonball in the air, drawing a dazzling arc and directly hanging into the lower right corner of the Tottenham goal.

The referee who had just blown the opening whistle was dumbfounded, the Tottenham players were also dumbfounded, the Tottenham fans who were cheering were also dumbfounded, the two head coaches standing on the sidelines were also dumbfounded, and even the Liverpool players were dumbfounded.

"Oh..."

When Li Qing cheered and jumped on Sturridge and punched to celebrate his goal, the whole audience woke up from their dream.

The ball went in? How long has it been? One second, or two seconds?

I have heard before that Li Qing created the fastest goal record at the beginning of the game against Kashima Antlers in the Club World Cup. That goal took only a little more than one second. Is he going to break this record today?

Li Qing rode on the slightly confused Sturridge, tilted his neck and looked around the stadium, looking at the surprised faces of countless people around him, feeling extremely comfortable.

In the opponent's home stadium, with the overwhelming cheers of the fans, scoring a goal in the most incredible way, this is my attitude towards the game today.

Jumping off Sturridge, Li Qing put his hands on his hips and raised his chin towards the Tottenham players who came to their senses on the opposite side.

"Come on!"
