Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Alexander-Arnold assisted Raheem Sterling to take the lead away from home and was the biggest contributor to England's lead, but with the entire slow-motion replay of England's goal given by the live broadcaster, whether it was the on-site commentary booth or the remote live broadcast room, most of the commentators believed that the biggest contributor to this goal was Li Qing.

In addition to passing the ball to make England's attack suddenly clear, the first ten minutes of dribbling and passing and receiving attracted the attention of most Croatian defenders, giving Sterling an easy chance to shoot, otherwise how could Sterling, who has always liked to put anti-aircraft guns, complete such a high-quality shot?

England manager Gareth Southgate is secretly breathing a sigh of relief, as long as the score is ahead, the likelihood of winning this game will be greatly increased.

Croatia, which has lost by a large score in the first round, will definitely not be willing to reap consecutive defeats at home, and it is inevitable to strengthen the attack, Modric and Rakitic double back combination is biased towards attack, and the defense is a little worse, and then Li Qing and Sterling, who have a speed advantage, will get a lot of counterattack opportunities.

In particular, Li Qing's ability to grasp is super strong, and a little laxity in Croatia's defense will bring Li Qing a huge opportunity to counterattack.

Croatia coach Dalic obviously thought of this possibility, frowning, feeling the pressure increasing, although this year's World Cup to finish fourth has been praised and loved by the whole Croatian country, but if the UEFA Nations League loses to Spain and England one after another, it will be difficult for him to continue in the position of head coach.

But then again, there is a bet to lose, and Dalic thinks that the game is not over and there is a chance to win.

Liverpool are unbeaten in all competitions with Li Qing's excellent form, setting a number of records, but records must be broken after all, and the same is true for England, no matter how outstanding Li Qing's individual ability is, there is no way to compare with the team.

The English players celebrated the goal frantically, as if seeing the team's two consecutive wins, the Croatian players were very helpless, Li Qing's reputation had to be defended, Modric and Rakitic felt more and more pressure, looked at each other, and saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Rakitic and Modric respectively saw Li Qing's strength in the Champions League, that sense of powerlessness, still fresh in my memory, last season's Champions League semifinals, Barcelona defeated Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield, the result?

Li Qing made a big fuss at Camp Nou and led Liverpool to achieve a super comeback.

The dominance of the Champions League final was particularly evident, with more than 70 minutes to go, and they didn't know how it would continue.

......

The game restarted, and Croatia had to strengthen the attack, but Croatian coach Dalic was very careful that the strengthening of the attack was based on the team's defense, that is, he did not dare to participate in the attack, and Modric and Rakitic were mainly based on midfield organization.

As the game progressed, there was a change of depth in Modkiletic's position, with Modric being the back brain and Rakitic being in the premise, creating a threat to Pickford in the back of the net with Kovacic.

Croatia took the initiative in the game with the overall strength of the gran, and the head coach Dalic frowned, standing in the command area of the home team's coach and pacing back and forth, while the visiting coach Southgate sat in the coach's box, as if the game had nothing to do with him.

It is undeniable that Croatia's midfield is the best in Europe, but the forward's scoring ability is still a little bit rubbed, Perisic is one of the most dangerous players in the forward line, but unfortunately the England defender has no temper, so that Croatia have empty possession and do not directly threaten Pickford's shooting opportunities to guard the goal.

High-level game time often passes very quickly, Modric sent a very coquettish right foot outside the instep pass on the right rib, the football drew a beautiful arc in the air, flying from the right rib to the left rib of the attack, who knew that the central defender Stones suddenly appeared on the trajectory of the football, raised his right foot, and stopped the football in front of him.

Modric and a number of Croatian defenders were the first time to turn around to chase Li Qing, who turned and accelerated, but England's quick counterattack from defense to attack was not looking for Li Qing, but to captain Harry Kane, and then Harry Kane handed over to another fast Sterling.

As the football moved to the Croatian half, the Croatian defenders, who had switched from attack to defence, had to turn their attention to Raheem Sterling, who was moving forward quickly with the ball.

However, it was already too late.

Raheem Sterling has been developed by Gareth Southgate as a top-class winger who can pass and shoot at Manchester City, and has been a key player in Manchester City's stunner in the past two seasons.

Sterling, who faced Yedwai's defense, took advantage of the change of body rhythm and explosiveness to complete the inside cut to the right, Lovren lacked Klopp's new appointment at Liverpool, and there were few opportunities to play, and the game was greatly affected, and the small and fast Sterling was very difficult to defend.

Raheem Sterling faked a shot to deflect Lovren, and when he came to the middle of the box, he pulled out his foot and fired a furious shot, and the ball slammed into the snow-white net in the top left corner of the goal like a cannonball......

“Gooooooooooooooooa——"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's iconic elongated voice resounded through the room, and guest commentator Martin Taylor said: "Who said that goals need to go through Lee? Gareth Southgate's England used this goal to show everyone in the world that there are other players in his team who can score!"

Sterling, who scored two goals, was extremely crazy, raising his arms and shouting, since England won the World Cup, everyone has given praise to Li Qing, thus ignoring his sacrifice, and this game was finally able to seize the opportunity to score two goals, and the mood naturally exploded.

Coach Southgate is also very excited, he coached England to win the World Cup, many media and football experts believe that this is Li Qing's credit, and now he has proved with two goals that did not rely on Li Qing's direct assists that other English players can also score!

Of course, Southgate also knows the importance of Li Qing, although both goals were scored by Sterling, but Li Qing's role is still pivotal, the first goal is Li Qing's through plug to make the attack suddenly bright, the second goal is Li Qing to lead a large number of defenders, thus giving Sterling a chance to dribble one-on-one.

The live director gave a slow-motion replay of England's goal, and He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, shouted: "Who said that Li Qing must attack with the ball in order to bring a direct threat to the opponent's goal?
