Football: The strongest post-zero generation

With an hour to go before the start of the game, the official UEFA website showed the starting line-ups for both sides of the match.

In the 2017-2018 season, Champions League winners Liverpool continued to use the usual 433 formation, goalkeeper Alisson, defenders Robertson, Van Dijk, Joel Matip and Alexander-Arnold, midfielders Jordan Henderson, Wijnaldum and Li Qing, and forwards Sadio Mane, Firmino and Salah.

Europa League winners Atletico Madrid is 442, goalkeeper Oblak, defenders Lucas Hernandez, Godin, Savic and Juanfran in the backs, midfielders Koke, Rodri, Saul and Lemar, and forwards are Diego Costa and Griezmann.

Players from both sides came to the stadium one after another to warm up, the fans in the audience were already full, Liverpool fans and Atletico Madrid fans were one south and one north, the Jing River was distinct, their respective fans extended to both sides, and the neutral fans who joined in the excitement sat in the main stand and the auxiliary stand.

Of course, neutral fans with limited funds also mingled in the North and South Stands, after all, the worse the sight line, the cheaper the price.

Nevertheless, as the time of the match gets closer and closer, the most ordinary tickets have reached a terrifying stage, with the lowest ticket price of 12 euros now rising to nearly 300 euros, and the 200 euros ticket for VIP seats rising to nearly 10,000 euros.

The players who came to the stadium to warm up were serious, Liverpool players wanted to win their sixth title in 2018, and Atletico Madrid players wanted to avenge their elimination from Liverpool in the group stage of the Champions League last season.

Antoine Griezmann, Lemar and Lucas Hernandez are the three French players who have mixed feelings, and it was Li Qing's senior in the World Cup final a month ago that helped England beat France 4-2 and their efforts were in vain.

Entering the World Cup finals, no one holds the runner-up, especially the overall strength of the French team is significantly stronger than England, and England can win the World Cup, largely because of Li Qing's super scoring ability, and ...... Realistic performances.

In Kante's words, if Li Qing hadn't pretended to be injured, it would have been difficult for him to score!

It is precisely because of this that Atletico Madrid's French players are indignant, believing that Li Qing's World Cup title with LinkedIn Gran was stolen from them.

Li Qing's resentful eyes of the French players all chose to ignore them.

At the beginning, I told Loris that there was no injury, you don't believe it, blame me?

The 40-minute warm-up time passed quickly, and the players from both sides made their way to the players' tunnel and returned to their dressing rooms to prepare for the UECA Super Cup, which will be played at the stadium in about 20 minutes.

......

"Celestial Vision, Celestial Television, the match that is being broadcast for you now is the live broadcast of the match between Liverpool, the winner of the 2018 UEFA Super Cup, and the winner of the Europa League, Atletico Madrid, wearing the red and white striped shirt and red pants, they are attacking from the left side of the broadcast screen to the right, and it is Liverpool in the purple jersey and purple ......"

He Wei, the commentator of Celestial Empire Radio 5, shouted excitedly.

Atletico Madrid, who had the advantage on the tee, quickly launched an offensive wave through passes, with Koke, Rodri, Saul and Lemar constantly intertwining Liverpool's solid defensive system through cross-cutting combinations.

In the second minute, Cork won a cross on the right rib, Robertson stretched his leg to block a half beat slowly, the football drew a wonderful arc in mid-air, Van Dijk and Diego Costa at the front point did not reach the football under mutual pressure, Griezmann was very alert in his running position, although he was only 1.76 meters tall, but his bounce and judgment of the landing point were very strong, Matip was accidentally flashed in front of Griezmann to complete the header.

“wowowowoowoooooooo——"

The sky above the pitch instantly remembered Liverpool's exclamations.

At this time, the role of Brazilian international Alisson was perfectly demonstrated, his side-pounce on the spot was like a spring squeezed to the extreme, slammed out, and his left palm was lifted up, and Reezmann's must-win header was denied.

"Didn't go in! Alisson has made a meritorious service!"

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao 5, suddenly raised his voice an octave: "Alisson, who set a new goalkeeper transfer record this summer, has played a role in turning the tide! He has tried his best to keep the goal open! The true value of 72.5 million euros!"

The newcomer Alisson did not get angry at the backline, and manager Jurgen Klopp immediately came to the sidelines and roared at the defenders, venting his strong dissatisfaction with the defenders, if it wasn't for Alisson's excellent performance, the goal would have been scored nine times out of ten.

Having Li Qing is of course a 2:0 match, but conceding a goal first can be very unpleasant, especially if the game starts less than two minutes.

Matip is well aware of the loss and the fierce competition in his team, and he has a penalty in his mind, thinking that he must play better in the next game, otherwise the starting centre-back position is likely to be replaced by Joe Gomez.

Antoine Griezmann put his head in his hands and lamented that if he could open the scoring in the second minute of the game, the possibility of beating Liverpool would be greatly increased

It's just that...... That's a little bit worse!

Damn it!

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone was even more half-kneeling on the ground, shouting something, obviously expressing his strong dissatisfaction with the goal not scored.

The Atletico fans in the audience shook their heads in frustration, they knew that the team's good way of playing was to counterattack quickly, so there would not be too many such chances, Alisson refused Griezmann's must-have goal, so it would be difficult to get such opportunities next time.

Koke whipped in a corner from the right, Van Dijk pushed Godin and Savic to head the ball out of the box, Salah followed up with a kick and the ball flew into the centre circle.

"Oops!"

Diego Simeone looked at the football.

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

Neither Rodri nor Juanfran are fast players, and the two central defenders, Savic and Godin, are involved in corner kicks, which means that Atletico are left with only Rodri and Juanfran left......

"It's a great chance to fight back!"

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, looked at Li Qing who appeared on the broadcast screen, and his voice was an octave higher: "Juanfran didn't hold it, Li Qing chased after the football! Rodri worked hard, but ...... It's getting farther and farther away from Li Qing......"

“aoaoaooaooaoooooooo——"

The Liverpool fans at Riekla Stadium erupted in a loud chant like a tsunami and quickly swept through the stadium.

Li Qing's speed is unparalleled in the world, and the defender's failure to stop him at the first time means that it will be difficult to keep up again.

Goalkeeper Oblak did not dare to abandon the goal, and the last two Champions League group games are still fresh in his memory......

World Cup Ballon d'Or winner Li Qing was like a wild horse, running Salah's clearance ball forward, and rushed towards the penalty area at no reduced speed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Li Qing took the ball from Atletico Madrid to the top of the arc of the penalty area, and Oblak had no choice but to abandon the goal.

“aoaoaooaooaoo——"

The shouts from the audience reached the extreme, and the corners of Li Qing's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile, but he did not choose to shoot or push directly, but used his speed to forcibly change direction and accelerate the breakthrough.

What happened next was very simple for a player of Li Qing's level, with a gentle push of the arch of his left foot, the ball slowly crossed the goal line and crashed into the snow-white net......

“Gooooooooooooooooooooa1——"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's signature elongated voice instantly resounded throughout the live broadcast room. _
