Football: The strongest post-zero generation.

Chapter 496 Taking a two-goal lead
There is still an hour before the start of the game, and the starting lineups of both sides of the game appear on UEFA's official website.

The 2017-2018 Champions League champion Liverpool used the usual 433 formation, with goalkeeper Alisson, defenders Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip and Alexander-Arnold, midfielders Henderson, Wijnaldum and Li Qing, forwards Mane and Felipe Ermino and Salah.

Europa League champion Atletico Madrid is 442, goalkeeper Oblak, defenders Lucas Hernandez, Godin, Savic and Juanfran, midfielders Koke, Rodri, Saul and Le Mar, forward is Diego Costa partnering Griezmann.

Players from both sides came to the stadium to warm up one after another. The fans in the auditorium were already packed. Liverpool fans and Atletico Madrid fans were in the south and north. The Jinghe River was clearly defined. Their respective fans extended to both sides. Neutral fans who joined in the fun were sitting in the main stand and the auxiliary stand.

Of course, neutral fans with limited funds also hang out in the north and south stands. After all, the worse the visibility, the cheaper the price.

Despite this, as the game time gets closer, the most common tickets have reached a terrifying stage. The lowest ticket price is 12 euros, and now it has risen to nearly 200 euros. The 1 euros for VIP seats have increased. It came to nearly euros.

The players who came to the stadium to warm up were very serious. The Liverpool players wanted to win the sixth championship in 2018, and the Atletico Madrid players wanted to take revenge for being eliminated by Liverpool in the Champions League group stage last season.

The relationship between the three French players Griezmann, Lemar and Lucas Hernandez is even more complicated. In the World Cup final a month ago, it was Li Qing's big four that helped England defeat France 4:2. causing their efforts to go to waste.

Entering the World Cup finals, no one expected to win runner-up, especially as the overall strength of the French team was significantly stronger than England's. England's ability to win the World Cup was largely due to Li Qing's super scoring ability and... realistic performances. .

In Kanter's words, if Li Qing didn't pretend to be injured, it would be difficult for him to score!

It is precisely for this reason that the French players at Atletico Madrid are aggrieved and believe that the World Cup championship won by England led by Li Qing was stolen from them.

Li Qing looked at the French players' resentful looks and chose to ignore them.

I told Loris that I was not injured. You didn't believe me. Do you blame me?
The forty-minute warm-up time passed quickly. Players from both sides went to the player tunnel one after another and returned to their respective locker rooms to prepare for the European Super Cup that will be held in this stadium in about twenty minutes.

……

"Chinese TV, Tianchao TV, the game we are broadcasting for you now is the live broadcast of the 2018 European Super Cup Champions League champion Liverpool and the Europa League champion Atletico Madrid. The ones wearing red and white striped shirts and red shorts are Atletico Madrid. They Attacking from the left to the right of the broadcast screen, the one wearing purple jersey and purple pants is Liverpool..."

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei shouted with excitement.

Atletico Madrid players, who had the advantage of kicking off, quickly launched a wave of offense through passing. Koke, Rodri, Saul and Lemar continued to interfere with Liverpool's stable defensive system through passing and cutting.

In the second minute, Cork won a cross from the right rib of the attack. Robertson stretched his legs to block the ball half a beat late. The football drew a wonderful arc in the air. Van Dijk and Diego Costa at the front point were under mutual pressure. Neither of them touched the football. Griezmann was very alert in his movement. Although he was only 1.76 meters tall, his jumping and judgment of landing points were very strong. Matip was accidentally dodged by Griezmann. Completed a header in front of him.

"wowowowoowoooooooo——"

The sky above the stadium was instantly reminded of the screams that broke out from the Liverpool fans.

At this time, the role of Brazil national goalkeeper Alisson was perfectly demonstrated. His side dive was like a spring that was squeezed to the extreme. He suddenly rushed out, lifted up his left palm, and blocked Griezmann's sure-to-win header. Doors turned away.

"Didn't make it! Allison made a contribution!"

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei's voice suddenly rose an octave: "Alison, who set a new goalkeeper transfer record this summer, played a role in turning the tide! He kept the goal clean! The 7250 million euros were really worth it!"

Alisson, who had just arrived, did not get angry at the defense. Head coach Klopp immediately came to the sidelines and roared at the defensive players, venting his strong dissatisfaction with the defensive players. If not for Alisson's outstanding performance, the ball would most likely have been missed. Entered.

Although having Li Qing starts the game with a score of 2:0, conceding a goal first will make people feel uncomfortable, especially less than two minutes into the game.

Matip is well aware of his mistake and knows that the team is now highly competitive. He takes a penalty kick in his mind, thinking that he must perform better in the next game, otherwise the starting center back position is likely to be replaced by Joe Gomez. Griezmann, who missed the goal, put his head in his hands with a look of regret. If he could help the team open the scoring in the second minute of the game, the possibility of defeating Liverpool would be greatly increased.

It's just...a little bit different!

damn it!
Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone even half-knelt on the ground, shouting something, obviously expressing his strong dissatisfaction with the missed goal.

The Atletico Madrid fans in the audience shook their heads dejectedly. They knew that the team's specialty was quick counterattacks, so there wouldn't be many such opportunities. If Alisson refused Griezmann's must-goal, it would be difficult next time. Get another chance like this.

Cork took a corner kick from the right. Van Dijk overpowered Godin and Savage to push the ball out of the penalty area. Salah followed up with a kick and the football flew towards the center circle.

"Oops!"

Diego Simeone followed the football with his eyes.

I saw a purple lightning flash across the field at high speed, rushing towards the landing point of the football.

Neither Rodri nor Juanfran are players with good speed. The two central defenders Savic and Godin participated in the corner kick attack, which means that Atletico Madrid's defense is only Rodri and Juanfran...

"This is the perfect opportunity to fight back!"

He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, looked at Li Qing who appeared on the broadcast screen, and his voice rose an octave: "Juanfran didn't hold back, Li Qing chased the football! Rodri worked hard, but... Li Qing was getting closer and closer. The further away..."

"aoaoaooaooaoooooooo——"

The Liverpool fans at the Rieckla Stadium erupted into a tsunami of violent chants that quickly swept through the entire stadium.

Li Qing's speed is unparalleled in the world, and if the defensive player fails to stop him the first time, it means that it will be difficult to keep up.

Goalkeeper Oblak did not dare to leave the goal and attack. The past two Champions League group matches are still fresh in my memory...

Li Qing, the World Cup Golden Ball winner, was like a wild horse running wild, passing Salah's clearance ball forward while running towards the penalty area without losing speed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Li Qing dribbled the ball from Atletico Madrid's half circle to the top of the penalty area. Oblak had no choice but to abandon the goal and attack.

"aoaoaooaooaoo——"

The cheers from the audience reached its peak. Li Qing raised the corners of his mouth slightly and showed a confident smile. However, he did not choose to lob or directly push. Instead, he used his speed to force a change of direction and accelerate the breakthrough.

What happened next was very simple for a player of Li Qing's level. With a slight push from the arch of his left foot, the football slowly crossed the goal line and hit the snow-white net...

"Goooooooooooooooooal——"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's iconic elongated voice instantly echoed throughout the live broadcast room.
