Chapter 121 Overtake

Li Qingshan didn't tell his teammates how to play, anyway, this matter is not his responsibility. But he knows that the players at United know how to get the ball to him.

Regardless, Manchester United still had to take Chelsea's corner off first.

Cesc Fabregas stood at the corner and made a gesture with his left arm up. This should be the tactical routine that Chelsea have negotiated before the game.

Manchester United, of course, don't know what kind of corners Chelsea are playing, so they have adopted a zone-to-man defence in the box, with every Chelsea player being closely guarded by United.

Cesc Fabregas takes a corner and he sends a spot.

In fact, Chelsea do not have many options, where is Manchester United's height advantage, if Cesc Fabregas sends the ball to the middle or back post, it will be difficult for Chelsea to take advantage of the height. As a result, Cesc Fabregas will either opt for a tactical corner or take a slightly lower line for the Chelsea players to fight for the spot.

Sure enough, with a number of Chelsea players in the cover, Diego Costa made a circle in the box and headed straight to the front post.

He had a good pace of movement and when he got to the front point, Cesc Fabregas's ball flew right into the area.

Diego Costa only has the football flying towards him in his eyes at the moment, he has already thought about what to do, he adjusts the position of his head, and is ready to use his forehead to rub it slightly, change the trajectory of the football flight, so that the football flies in the direction of the goal, anyway, Fabregas's corner kick is fast enough, he doesn't need to exert force, he only needs to make the football refract the following, it is very likely to break through Manchester United's goal.

Diego Costa was ready for anything, but just as the football was about to fly in front of his eyes, his eyes suddenly went black.

Li Qingshan didn't know when he suddenly appeared in front of Diego Costa, and then padded his chest and snatched the ball.

The ball was a little fast, and although Li Qingshan had tried his best to unload the ball, the ball still bounced more than a meter away after hitting his chest.

Fortunately, the Chelsea players at the previous point were still a little far away from Li Qingshan, so Li Qingshan had time to catch up and regain control of the football.

However, at this time, Fabregas, who had just finished a corner kick, had already killed, and Li Qingshan had no choice but to dribble the ball and deduct Fabregas, and at the same time dodge Fabregas's sweeping legs.

This series of actions made Li Qingshan's center of gravity almost unstable, he staggered to catch up with the football again, adjusted the center of gravity and continued to dribble the ball to the side.

He didn't choose to go forward with a big foot, because there was no one in the front of Manchester United at this time, and the big foot clearance was just a chance for the opponent to attack. If the opposition continue to storm around United's penalty area, then it is only a matter of time before the goal is scored.

"Li Qingshan chose to dribble the ball by himself, he has to be careful, if he loses the ball in this position, it is too dangerous!" The commentator obviously didn't understand Li Qingshan's approach, "It's better for him to clear the ball out of the danger area in time and take the ball like this in his backcourt, this is playing with fire!" ”

Sure enough, when Li Qingshan regained control of the football, several Chelsea players quickly surrounded him.

For the Chelsea players, it was a good opportunity to break the ball and play on the counter-attack!

Cesc Fabregas was unsuccessful in the robbery, but he never gave up and pursued it closely. Nemanja Matic and left-back Cesar Azpilicueta were quick to get around.

As soon as Li Qingshan adjusted his center of gravity, he fell into the situation of being sandwiched by three people.

Carlo Ancelotti stood on the sidelines, his brow furrowed. However, after seeing that the other players of Manchester United were still in his defensive position, he took a little precautions, Li Qingshan had already taken the ball to the side, even if he lost the ball at this time, there was basically no danger. And it would be good to let Li Qingshan delay a little time to protect the ball on the side, so that Manchester United's players can get a respite.

Li Qingshan had planned to protect the ball before passing it, but when he looked up, he found that his teammates were all staying in the penalty area one by one, and they didn't seem to have any confidence in him being able to pass the ball.

In fact, they can't be blamed for this, now Li Qingshan's situation can be said to have reached the point of exhaustion, he relies on the sideline and his strong body to protect the ball, but it looks like it is already in jeopardy.

Cesc Fabregas, Azpilicueta, and Matic surrounded Li Qingshan, and it was not easy for Li Qingshan to protect the ball now, who would have thought that he would still have the strength to look up and observe, and still want to pass the ball out.

In desperation, Li Qingshan had no choice but to protect the ball, and suddenly knocked the ball, and the football hit Azpilicueta's calf and bounced off the sideline.

"Li Qingshan successfully protected the ball on the wing and then helped the team get a throw-in, in this situation, Li Qingshan has done a good enough job, at least he didn't lose the ball in the three-man bag."

'The most important thing for Manchester United now is that they can't let Chelsea go on the attack all the time, so it is necessary for them to keep the ball at their feet as much as possible.

Valencia came running and threw the throw-in.

He walked slowly to the sidelines, then took the ball from the caddy's hand and wiped the water stuck to the ball with his clothes.

I don't know when, the heavy snow has stopped, and the sky is no longer snowflakes. But the pitch was still slippery, so the football was covered in water.

By the time Valencia lifted the ball, he didn't have much of a spot in front of him. Chelsea's players pressed very high, and although the likes of Herrera, Marouane Fellaini, Hummels and others were already running as far as they could, the Chelsea players were not prepared to let the United throw-in easily.

Valencia held the ball above her head for a few moments and didn't throw it out.

Just when Valencia was about to throw the ball forward in desperation, he heard Li Qingshan's voice.

"Antonio! Give me the ball!! ”

Li Qingshan suppressed Matic behind him with one hand, and then shouted at Valencia.

Valencia hesitated, but he still threw the ball at Li Qingshan's feet.

After all, Li Qingshan's ability has already convinced the other players of Manchester United, and Valencia subconsciously did what Li Qingshan said in the absence of a better choice.

Li Qingshan did not stop the ball, but knocked forward with his left foot, and the football passed between Matic's legs, and then Li Qingshan turned around and erased Matic!

"Oh!! Li Qingshan knocked the ball over!! Past Matic!! There are not many such scenes in Li Qingshan!! The narrator was also surprised by Li Qingshan's success this time. After all, Li Qingshan rarely shows his footwork on the football field - Li Qingshan has always given people the impression of a physical power striker.

Matic also seemed a little annoyed after being passed by Li Qingshan, after all, being passed by an opponent who was not good at dribbling with a humiliating crotch piercing, which made Matic feel angry in his heart.

He quickly stretched out his hand and wanted to pull Li Qingshan to the ground, but after Li Qingshan turned around, his leg muscles immediately exploded and he took the ball forward, so that Matic could only grab a handful of air!

Chelsea's defenders didn't take United's throw-in seriously, because it was in the United half, and Chelsea had pressed it, so it would be nice for United to regain possession. But Li Qingshan unexpectedly passed Matic, and the situation suddenly opened up.

Although Chelsea still has four defenders in the backfield at the moment, they are now lined up, after all, they have to take care of such a long width of the field, and after Li Qingshan passed Matic, he took the ball to the direction of the Chelsea goal, and Chelsea's defenders were more than 20 meters away from Li Qingshan.

The situation seems to have suddenly opened up!

However, Chelsea's back line reacted very quickly, Gary Cahill pushed out, and then the other three defenders adducted in, forming a defensive body, so that even if Gary Cahill was passed by Li Qingshan, it would not let Li Qingshan face the goalkeeper directly at once, not to mention, with Li Qingshan's dribbling ability, the probability of him passing Cahill is really not high.

Cahill quickly approached Li Qingshan, but Li Qingshan didn't think about passing at all.

When Cahill was still five or six meters away from him, Li Qingshan had already adjusted his pace and shot angrily!

"Li Qingshan shot directly at the goal!!" The narrator exclaimed!

It's almost forty meters from the goal, and you have to have plenty of power to shoot at this distance.

Li Qingshan's shot was never lacking in power, Gary Cahill only felt a whoosh, a meteor crossed in front of his eyes, and the whirlwind with the ball after the football flew over his hair was also messy, as if it was not a football that had just flown in front of his eyes, but a supersonic fighter jet!

The ball was really fast, and Courtois couldn't react even from such a distance.

The fans at the scene only saw a white line flying by, and then they saw their nets shaking.

This ball.........

Is it in?

Chelsea fans watched in horror as the net trembled.

Referee Oliver blew the whistle and pointed to ......... Chelsea's goal.

Goal-line !!

The goal didn't go in!!

The fans at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, and then the slow-motion televised broadcast returned to the trajectory of the ball's flight.

The soccer ball is stuck in a post, hits a billboard behind the net, and bounces back into the net. Because the speed of the ball was so fast, many fans at the scene thought that the goal had been scored.

Even Courtois broke out in a cold sweat.

That's a shot from a distance of almost 40 meters! This kind of ball speed is arguably the fastest Courtois has ever seen in his life.

"It's a terrible shot, but it's a pity that there was no goal, otherwise, such a long-range shot would probably be the most beautiful ultra-long-range shot in recent years!!"

"Thunder on the ground!! What a shame!! Courtois didn't react at all, and the goal could have been scored if it hit the woodwork, just a little bit!! Duan Xuan almost stood up in the live broadcast room.

Gary Cahill breathed a sigh of relief, his heartbeat almost stopped just after Li Qingshan finished shooting. Even when he saw the net shaking, he thought the ball had gone in.

It's dangerous!

.........

Although the goal was not scored, it was a huge morale boost for the United players. The self-confidence of the United players has also risen. And Li Qingshan also benefited from this. He got even more energetic after this shot, constantly raising his arms and motioning for his teammates to pass the ball to him.

He doesn't have to worry about not getting the ball because he's the team's centre-forward, the team's attacking heart and finisher, and his team-mates will definitely try to create chances for him.

Li Qingshan has the absolute right to fire, and Ancelotti did not limit which areas Li Qingshan could not shoot. Not all center forwards can have such treatment, but who makes Li Qingshan especially able to score.

To be honest, without Li Qingshan, Manchester United's results this season would never be what they are now.

Carlo Ancelotti also knows this, it is precisely because of the presence of Li Qingshan that he can discharge three midfielders in the midfield, put the team's focus almost on the backline, and do not have to worry about the team's lack of attacking power - Li Qingshan, who has a red barrel, will never disappoint the team in terms of goals.

Now there is a discussion in the media, if Li Qingshan is injured, what will happen to Carlo Ancelotti's team?

To be honest, even Ancelotti has a headache, but fortunately, Li Qingshan has always been very durable, especially able to fight, and has very good physical fitness, so Ancelotti doesn't have to worry about this problem for the time being.

"Di Maria passes!! Li Qingshan!!!!!! It's dangerous!! Closely!! The soccer ball flew off against the goalpost. ”

Li Qingshan held his head in his hands, feeling sorry that he was not able to score the ball.

Courtois got up from the ground to trouble his teammates: "Watch out!! Don't let him shoot anymore!! ”

Li Qingshan's shot did make Courtois feel a big threat.

However, Courtois's words did not make Chelsea's defence solid.

A few minutes later, United broke the ball at the back and counter-attacked with a direct long pass.

This time, Terry stuck to Li Qingshan early, even if it was still far from the goal, but Chelsea also knew how far Li Qingshan's range was.

I almost scored a few long-range shots before!

Li Qingshan also felt the pressure on Terry behind him, and even the Englishman took advantage of the referee's inattention to give Li Qingshan a knee to his tailbone, making Li Qingshan almost lose his position because of the pain.

However, Li Qingshan gritted his teeth and survived, he leaned directly on his iron back, making Terry snort, and both sides gave each other a hard blow.

Li Qingshan was not untargeted, he took advantage of Terry's stuffiness, picked up the ball behind him with his left foot, and then quickly turned around.

"Pick the ball and turn around!!"

After Li Qingshan picked the ball past Terry, he unloaded the ball with his right foot.

This time he looked in the direction of the goal, and then volleyed with his right foot!!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
