Football: The strongest post-zero generation.

Chapter 324: Starting Hell Difficulty
The 2017-2018 English League Cup final kicked off at the new Wembley Stadium. Manchester City, which had lost to Liverpool in the league one after another, was trying to get revenge by defeating Liverpool in the League Cup. Therefore, Manchester City head coach Guardiola is Send all the main forces.

What about the opponent Liverpool?

He actually retained his strength!
Goalkeeper Karius, defenders Moreno, Van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Alexander-Arnold, midfielders Emre Can, Henderson and Wijnaldum, forwards Mane, Firmino and Savoy Lach.

In fact, it looks no different from the main force. Why is it considered to be a reserve force?
The big reason is that Liverpool did not send forward Li Qing, who scores many goals!

Guardiola felt insulted when he got Liverpool's starting lineup, and then showed a 'cruel' smile.

In his opinion, Liverpool's biggest threat comes from Li Qing. Liverpool without Li Qing is not worth mentioning at all!
Therefore, Guardiola deliberately incited the excitement of the players when the players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms to prepare for the game, rendering Klopp and the Liverpool coached by him into such a heinous opponent...

All the players were murderous, which made Guardiola very pleased.

In addition to showing a very high spirit, his players are also full of confidence in the next game!
Liverpool with Li Qing is very difficult to deal with. Facing Liverpool without Li Qing for the time being, it would be a matter of taking the coefficient from hell mode to normal mode!
According to the conventional substitution adjustment method, even if Liverpool performs poorly, Klopp will definitely only replace Li Qing before the start of the second half, and Guardiola's plan is to let his players kill Li Qing before he comes on the bench. Contest!
Isn’t Li Qing a cow?

It can be said to be an average of two goals per game. Then we will be three or four ahead of you before the start of the second half. Let's see how you catch up!
The League Cup final between Liverpool and Manchester City was without Li Qing in the starting lineup, which gave the major commentators many topics to discuss before the game.

Li Qing's absence from the starting lineup will certainly greatly undermine the tactics that Guardiola formulated before the game, but it is likely to have a very big impact on the performance of the Liverpool team. In every game in the past, Liverpool players have followed Li Qing's lead. , now that Li Qing is not starting the game, the players will definitely be at a loss.

The major commentators have a high level of football skills and a very thorough study of tactics. The League Cup final, which started on time at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, proved that the views of these professional football commentators are correct.

Emre Can, Henderson and Wijnaldum are not the kind of midfielders who are particularly good at passing forward, and they don't have Li Qing's footwork that can play tricks, so they can't control it at all. Live the ball.

Mane and Salah are very fast, but their technical abilities are not as strong as Li Qing's, so they don't need to pay too much attention when attacking.

There is no pressure on the defense, and the offensive players have no worries at all and can attack with all their strength.

The goal came only in the ninth minute of the game. Aguero received a precise long pass from David Silva and completed a powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area before Van Dijk could reach the defense. Football Poster Landing on the ground, he quickly rolled towards the lower left corner of the goal.

"aoaooaoaoaooooooo——"

The Manchester City fans at the new Wembley Stadium were ecstatic, creating wave after wave of chants.

Klopp hadn't discovered the problem yet. He raised his eyebrows and muttered: "It seems that we will consider replacing a top goalkeeper this summer."

In his opinion, neither Karius nor Mignolet has the aura of a super goalkeeper.

In the future, Liverpool must have world-class superstars on all three lines, otherwise it will be impossible to create a dynasty.

Liverpool, who were lagging behind, consciously stepped up their offense when the game restarted, trying to equalize the score in a short time or even take the lead.

However, they obviously overestimated their abilities. When Li Qing did not play, they did not play as calmly as before. Facing the high pressure of Manchester City players, they did not last long before losing control of the football.

Only then did Klopp realize how much the team relied on Li Qing.

You must know that the past games without Li Qing would not have turned into what they are now. It is equivalent to saying that the current team relies too much on Li Qing. If I had known this would be the result, why not send Li Qing to create a surprise?

Klopp now only hopes that the team can end the first half safely. It is good to equalize the score, as long as they don't concede goals in the rest of the first half.

Twenty-four minutes into the game, Manchester City scored again.

De Bruyne made a precise 45-degree cross from the right and found Sane who was following up from behind. The latter ran and shot with his left foot to break the goal guarded by Karius.

The score displayed on the scoreboard instantly changed from 0:1 to 0:2.

The Manchester City fans in the audience were as excited as children, dancing and dancing.

Li Qing, who was sitting on the bench of the home team, was speechless. A simple game had turned into a difficult mode.

There are twenty minutes left in the first half, and I don’t know if it can last until the end of the first half.

The Liverpool fans at the new Wembley Stadium were confused. They noticed that Li Qing did not start the game and simply thought that it would not have much impact. As a result... this impact... did not appear at all.

Throughout the 2017-2018 season, the only time they were two goals behind was a visit to the Etihad Stadium in the fourth round of the league, but that was with one less player.

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei shook his head and said: "Liverpool without Li Qing is like a beast without fangs, so there is nothing to fear!"

Another five minutes of the game passed, and Manchester City's offensive was still strong. Klopp had the consciousness to let Li Qing warm up, but his remaining calmness made it unsuitable for him to make adjustments now. Until the 31st minute of the game, Klopp finally made up his mind and turned to Li Qing on the bench and shouted: "Li, go warm up!"

It turned out that the brilliant De Bruyne knocked on Karius's conservative door with a powerful long-range shot from 30 meters away from the goal, helping Manchester City expand the score to three goals.

"aoaooaoaooaoooooo——"

The new Wembley Stadium has completely transformed into a sea of ​​joy for Manchester City fans, and the sky blue flag is particularly conspicuous under the light.

Li Qing running towards the warm-up area was captured by the on-site director. Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun sighed: "Klopp should be more decisive. Now the score is 0:3, even if Li Qing has extraordinary scoring ability. It is difficult to help Liverpool turn defeat into victory. Manchester City, which has learned its experience long ago, cannot give Li Qing consecutive scoring opportunities. In this situation, the difficulty is undoubtedly hell mode..."

"Leeeeeeeee——"

The Liverpool fans in the audience suddenly became excited when they saw Li Qing coming to the warm-up area, and they burst into loud cheers like a mountain and a tsunami.

Listening to the cheers from the Liverpool fans, Li Qing felt the blood boiling deep in his heart.

Three goals behind, so what?

I'm here, don't panic!
