Chapter 8: The First Time in the Professional Arena

Chapter 8: The first time in the professional arena

The first half of the game ended quickly, and in the locker room, Li Qingshan saw the usually mild-mannered Lippi angry. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Lippi attributed the first-half defeat to the team's undermatching.

However, the situation in the second half did not improve much, with Guangzhou Evergrande's attack at a stalemate, and Jiangsu Shuntian's defence was very solid, having relied on a solid defense to finish runners-up in the Chinese Super League last season.

It has to be said that Dragan was very effective for the organization of the defense. Their defense is not a traditional swing and a retreat. Instead, they maintained a positive and resilient defensive strategy, and they began to strangle Guangzhou Evergrande's ball-possession players in the midfield, resulting in Guangzhou Evergrande's usual offensive routine not being played at all, and they also had to be careful of the opponent's counterattack after breaking the ball in the midfield. This also made the Guangzhou Evergrande players on the field seem a little shrunken.

In particular, the team's new foreign player Elkeson, whose performance so far can be described as "terrible", the striker that the team spent 5.7 million euros to buy from Brazilian team Botafogo seems to be completely unable to fit into the game, and there are frequent mistakes.

Lippi didn't want to lose this game, not to mention that the Super Cup is also a championship trophy, just because this is the team's home stadium, and he doesn't want the team to lose this game at home. Especially since the opponent is still the biggest opponent in the league last season, if this game is lost, the impact on the team's morale is not small.

At this time, the game time had come to the 60th minute of the game, Lippi glanced at the bench, in addition to goalkeeper Li Shuai, defensive midfielder Zhao Xuri, foreign aid Barrios and the team's two newly introduced inner courtyard Feng Renliang and Li Qingshan are all options that can be used to strengthen the attack.

Li Qingshan saw Lippi's eyes sweeping over the bench and began to get excited, he could see that the team could not attack now, and the ground transmission was strictly limited, in this case, Lippi was very likely to send himself to the front court to compete for the high-altitude ball.

Lippi glanced at several of his own players on the bench, he had originally planned to send Barrios to strengthen the attack, but when he noticed Li Qingshan's excited expression, he changed his attention.

"Lee, go warm up!"

This sentence sounded completely natural to Li Qingshan, he quickly bounced up from his seat, took off his coat, put on a warm-up vest, and ran to the sidelines to start warming up.

A few minutes later, he ran back to Lippi.

"Sir, I'm ready!"

Lippi put his hand on Li Qingshan's shoulder and said, "Do you know what you're going to do when you play?" ”

"Yes, you can see it, sir." Li Qingshan said confidently.

Lippi patted Li Qingshan's shoulder: "Go ahead!" ”

Li Qingshan walked to the substitution area, and next to him, the fourth official who was holding the substitution sign and Li Tie, who was explaining something to the fourth official.

Seeing that there were preparations for substitutions on the sidelines, the TV broadcast camera gave a close-up of this area at the right time.

CCTV's commentator He Wei was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Qingshan's face. This face has been known to the majority of Chinese fans since a month ago.

Although Li Qingshan entered the squad for two consecutive games, he still felt a trace of surprise when Li Qingshan actually played.

"Oh?" He quickly reacted, "We see, Li Qingshan!" Prepare to come off the bench. ”

"He is a player who Guangzhou Evergrande returned from Manchester United on loan, and Li Qingshan is the second Chinese player to sign with Manchester United, of course, I believe everyone knows who the first one is."

"We saw that when it was necessary to strengthen the attack, Lippi did not choose Barrios or Feng Renliang on the bench, but chose Li Qingshan, which also shows that Li Qingshan has a certain trust from Lippi to a certain extent!"

Li Qingshan stood on the sidelines, waiting for this substitution, he will replace the inactive foreign player Elkeson in this game. However, at this time, Guangzhou Evergrande was still in possession of the ball, and the referee would only allow substitutions at the dead time.

He was standing on the sidelines in his red home jersey, and it was the first official professional game in his life with a professional team, and he felt his heart beat faster, but it wasn't nervousness, it was excitement...........

Listening to the singing and noise of the Guangzhou fans behind him, he kept shaking his body, sometimes moving his wrists, sometimes jumping a few times.

"Don't be nervous, Aoyama. You've even scored against Manchester United, it's just a normal game. Li Tie, who was next to him, comforted Li Qingshan.

"Brother Tie, thank you." Li Qingshan said, "I'm not nervous, I'm excited!" ”

At this time, an attack by Guangzhou Evergrande was unsuccessful, Elkeson won the ball on the side and cut inside, completed a poor long-range shot, and the ball went off the line.

At this time, the referee on duty signaled for a substitution, and the fourth official also raised the substitution sign in his hand.

"Li Qingshan! Li Qingshan! ”

A huge shout rang out from the stands, and they shouted Li Qingshan's name.

Li Qingshan looked at Elkeson, who was slowly running towards him, and stretched out his hands.

At his feet is the turf on the road to the professional field, the road to professional football and the beginning of a super centre-forward.

Finally, Elkeson jogged up to him and reached out to give him a high-five.

Before the high-five was completed, Li Qingshan couldn't wait to run into the field.

Under the 9th! On the 18th!

Li Qingshan made his first professional appearance!

After Li Qingshan came on the field, he walked to the position of center forward, Gao Lin, who originally played as a center forward, kicked to the right, and the left belonged to Muric.

Before Li Qingshan came on the field, Guangzhou Evergrande had been cooperating with the ground due to Conca. However, it seems that it is difficult to break through the defense line of Jiangsu Shuntian now.

And Li Qingshan's arrival is an obvious signal to Guangzhou Evergrande's players - to increase high-altitude passing.

Dragan on the sidelines of the field of course noticed Guangzhou Evergrande's substitution, and after seeing Li Qingshan's figure, he knew Lippi's plan.

He quickly made a change, bringing on Brazilian Erelson, who had just returned from injury, and replaced Baal in the attack. Played a three-centre-back formation.

Dragan sat comfortably in the dugout, and he was now very proud that the team had a two-goal lead in the first half, and as long as he didn't make too many mistakes in the second half, the Super Cup trophy was a boiled duck that couldn't fly.

Last season, they had been biting the back of Guangzhou Evergrande's buttocks, and even once let them see the dawn of the Chinese Super League, but in the end, Guangzhou Evergrande still won the Chinese Super League championship with its stable performance, which made the whole Jiangsu Shuntian team breathe a sigh of relief.

The Super Cup winner is certainly far inferior to the Super League champion in terms of weight. But at least it can give the team a breath of relief.

Erelson also followed Li Qingshan on the stage, and Dragan sat in the coach's seat looking very relaxed. He's in control.

However, at this time, the situation on the field changed dramatically.

After Conca controlled the ball on the edge of the penalty area to attract the defense, he suddenly distributed the ball to the right wing-back Zhang Linpeng, who strode to catch up with the football, and did not continue to dribble the ball in the direction of the baseline, but directly crossed from a 45-degree angle.

At the moment when he got up and passed the ball, Li Qingshan, who had just run to the back point of the Jiangsu Shuntian penalty area after coming on the field, ran to the front point suddenly.

Before Erelson, who was marking him, and Ren Hang, who was in the front position, could react, Li Qingshan had already jumped, and the football also fell at this time.

This is the rhythm that Li Qingshan is most familiar with, he adjusted his posture in the air, and with his strong waist and abdominal strength, he completed a very powerful header!

It was his first touch of the ball in this game! It was his first touch of the ball in the professional arena!

Bang!!!!!!!!

Goalkeeper Guan Zhen also didn't react, and the football flew into the goal from his other side and hit the net behind him!

This is Li Qingshan's first goal when he comes to Guangzhou Evergrande! This was Li Qingshan's first goal in the professional arena!!
