Football: The strongest post-zero generation.

Chapter 428 A flash of inspiration

"Beep~"

As the Argentinian referee Piñata blew his whistle, China Channel 5 commentator He Wei said his iconic opening remarks: "China TV, China TV, the game we are broadcasting for you now is the fourth game of the 2018 Russia World Cup 1/ Live broadcast of the match between Denmark and England in the finals of 8."

"The one wearing the red shirt and red shorts is England. They attack from the right side of the broadcast screen to the left. The one wearing the white shirt and white shorts is Denmark. They attack from the left side of the broadcast screen to the right... "

England, who had a kick-off advantage, quickly handed the football to right winger Li Qing. Denmark defended Li Qing to very high standards. Tottenham stars Eriksen, Braithwaite and forward Cornelius were in Li Qing's left front. Directly in front and right, preventing him from taking the ball forward.

The three of them did not attack, but stood still. Li Qing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a smile on his face, pulled the ball back with his left foot, handed it directly to the central defender Stones, and then moved the Danish defender's position through running.

Li Qing had already guessed before the game that Denmark would strengthen his defense. He was not surprised at all when facing such standard treatment, so he was already prepared to assist his teammates in attacking in this game until the [Superstar Moment] cooled down. At the end of time, he helped the England national team score a goal.

At the same time, Howie announced the starting lineups of both sides to the fans in front of the TV.

Denmark's official formation is 451. The goalkeeper is Schmeichel Jr. who plays for Leicester City, defenders Jonas Knudsen, Christensen, Simon Kehl and Dardes, midfielders Poulsen, M. Jorgensen, Delaney, Eriksson and Braithwaite, with Cornelius at the front.

The official formation given by England is 343 specially built for Li Qing, with goalkeeper Pickford, defenders Maguire, Stones and Kyle Walker, and midfielders Ashley Young, Henderson, Alli and Alexander-Arnold. , forwards Sterling, Harry Kane and Li Qing.

Denmark did only score two goals in three group games, and its offensive performance was insufficient. However, it only conceded one goal on the defensive end, making it one of the teams that conceded the fewest goals in the group stages of this World Cup.

As preparations were made before the game, Denmark put pressure on Li Qing in the opening stage and quickly returned to the 30-meter defensive zone in their own half to wait for England to attack.

There are two secrets to breaking through dense defense, namely set kicks and long-range shots. Li Qing is good at both of these, so the Danish team tries not to give England free kick opportunities as much as possible.

Other players could let the long shot go, but Li Qing refused.

The game went by very quickly in England's half-court attack. Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, but the score on the scoreboard did not change.

"aoaooaooaoooooooooo——"

However, the English fans, Chinese fans and neutral fans at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium were not affected. They were happy to create a tsunami of violent shouts to cheer for the English players who organized the attack.

Li Qing was closely guarded. In addition to being able to pass crosses and back passes easily, his forward routes to get the ball and forward passes were cut off, and his performance was impossible to speak of.

Despite this, the Danish players did not take it lightly. On the contrary, they walked on thin ice and did not give Li Qing too many opportunities to get the ball.

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei laughed and said: "If I remember correctly, Li Qing has not made a successful breakthrough or sent a threatening ball in this game, not even a shot. Xu Yang, do you think Li Qing is in poor condition?" ?"

"Haha~"

Xu Yang said with a smile: "Li Qing, this little guy is very thief. In the past few minutes, he encountered many violent fouls by the players who sold him alone. If he guessed correctly, he must be accumulating strength now, waiting for the players who sold him alone to relax their vigilance. In an instant, but... Li Qing is well-known, and the World Cup is a gluttonous feast that occurs every four years. Danish players will definitely not neglect it. Maybe... Li Qing will have to wait for a longer time."

As Xu Yang said during the game, the Danish players guarding Li Qing were very much like qualified bodyguards and did not give Li Qing any chance at all. England coach Southgate frowned. Before the game, he thought that Denmark would defend with all its strength, but he did not expect that the defense would be so good and leave no room at all.

Even if Li Qing was blocked, other players wouldn't find any chance.

The main reason for this is that the tactical drills are based on Li Qing as the absolute core. Now that Li Qing is being closely monitored, the team's offensive system has suffered a fatal blow.

The two wingers also used traditional winger crosses, but the effect was not very good. Harry Kane was closely marked by Simon Kyle and Christensen in the penalty area, and it was difficult to reach the football. It is difficult to threaten Schmeichel to guard the goal.

Although Denmark was in a defensive posture most of the time, the game was quite exciting. England kept trying half-court offensive drills, time and time again, setting off a fanatical atmosphere on the scene.

The ten minutes of the game passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was twenty-five minutes, which meant that more than half of the first half of the game had passed. Sky TV commentator Andy Gray frowned and said: "Gareth Southgate should Make adjustments to tactics..."

Before he finished speaking, Henderson kicked the ball towards Li Qing, who had his back to the attacking direction. Eriksen, Braithwaite and Delaney all leaned over, but because Li Qing had his back to the goal, they did not lean on him. It was too close. Li Qing originally wanted to pass the ball back, but at this moment, a light flashed in his eyes and an idea came to his mind.

Li Qing, who had a wide field of vision, observed from the corner of his eye that Ashley Young was driving forward at high speed at the far end of the goal. It was obvious that he was driving forward every five minutes according to coach Southgate's strict arrangement before the game, enriching the team's three-dimensional attack. Especially before catching the ball himself.

If it had been the first ten minutes, the Danish defensive players would have definitely moved in, but they were used to Li Qing's back-passing to his teammates every time. They had an inertial mindset and did not move forward in time.

Halled, who was standing in the command area of ​​the home team coach, frowned but said nothing. After all, if Li Qing made a cross pass, it would be difficult for Eriksen and Delaney to make up for it.

Li Qing suddenly stepped forward with his right foot, raised his left foot with his back to the attacking direction, and kicked the ball toward the attacking left rib.

The football shot up from the ground and spanned more than half of the field, flying from the right flank of England's attack to the left flank. The attention of the Danish defensive players was instantly attracted by the football. Dardes, the right back who was led to the middle by Sterling, was heartbroken. One ring.

As soon as Dardes turned around, he saw a red figure flashing in front of him. The broadcast screen quickly cut to it. China Channel 5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave: "Ashley Young!"

Since Ashley Young came in from behind, he was not offside, and he knew this very well.

Li Qing passed the ball very comfortably. Ashley Young, who was running, did not need any adjustment. He used the arch of his left foot on the left side of the penalty area to move the football toward the penalty spot.

Harry Kane took away the defense of Christensen and Simon Kehl. Before the Danish midfielder could return to his position, Alli advanced to meet the ball and pushed the ball. The football followed the ground and rolled towards the lower right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel was blocked from sight and his reaction was half a beat too slow, failing to turn the tide.

“Goooooooooooooooooal——”

The iconic drawl of Sky TV commentator Andy Gray suddenly rang out.
