Football: The strongest post-zero generation

With the arrival of Liverpool, Tottenham is buzzing with action as the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final is about to be played at Wembley Stadium, with Tottenham Hotspur at home to take on a challenged Liverpool side.

Very early in this game, the coaches of the two teams have announced the starting lists on the official website, and the names of two of them suddenly made many people look forward to this game.

These two people are Tottenham Hotspur striker Son Heung-min and Liverpool's leading star, Premier League goalscorer Wang Li Qing.

Because these two people are both Asian, they are also the absolute main force of their respective clubs, and they are both the core of the front-court attack, so it is very exciting to see what kind of sparks they will collide in this game.

Tottenham Hotspur swept the opponent with a score of 7:0 in the last FA Cup game, and at the same time, many main players were given the opportunity to rest in rotation to prepare for this League Cup game.

And the Asian king Son Heung-min, who has not been rested, has been in very hot form recently, and has been involved in the team's 12 goals in the past 6 games.

On the Liverpool side, all fronts have won so far this season, and Li Qing, as the core of the attack, has recently scored a slight decrease in goals, but the data is still not comparable to Son Xingmin.

Therefore, this game is also the best opportunity for the two Asian super strikers to prove themselves, so before the game started, media people from all sides began to make their own judgments about this game through various gossip and past data.

[The Times]: There is no doubt that the highlight of this game lies in the core players of the two teams, and the duel between Lee and Sun is not the only highlight.

The Sun: Compared to Tottenham's starting line-up, Liverpool is more like getting the job done, and Lee's start is just to appease the fans.

[The Guardian]: Liverpool's first defeat of the season is about to reveal the mystery, and the victory halo of genius Lee may not be able to bless his team!

[Mirror]: The second in the league and the first in the league collide passionately, and the League Cup will be the best venue for Tottenham to prove themselves.

[Post]: Liverpool recognized the reality, gave up the League Cup, and with the strength of Tottenham, they could only show their style in this kind of cup competition that was not taken seriously.

The voice of the media has attracted enough heat for the match between Liverpool and Tottenham, but that's all, compared to the game, another hot spot in this game has also attracted the attention of many people.

From the start of the season, the FA has decided to introduce VAR from the League Cup semi-finals and finals in preparation for the full use of VAR in the Premier League next season.

The use of VAR has always been controversial in the football world, but judging from last year's World Cup in Russia, if used properly, it will not affect the flow of the game, but can increase the expectations of players and spectators.

Among the five major leagues today, only the Premier League is lagging behind in the introduction of VAR technology, and this season the FA is still very cautious about how to introduce the use of VAR technology, and finally decided to use it in the semi-finals and finals of the League Cup.

Therefore, this game is not just an ordinary league game, but also a landmark game that can be recorded in the history of English football.

For such a game, Tottenham, who are playing at home, naturally takes it very seriously, and this can be seen from their lineup.

In addition to the goalkeeper is substitute goalkeeper Gaza, Alderweireld, Rose, Sissoko, Ali, Eriksen, Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and other main players will all appear.

On Liverpool's side, the goalkeeper is the substitute Mignolet, and the back line is the substitute plus youth team lineup led by Randle and Morelllo, with midfielders Curtis Jones, Rafael Camacho and James Milner.

On the forward line, Li Qing, Sturridge and Origi lead, it can be said that the forward trident is the strongest part of Liverpool's thickness in this game, but compared with the combination of opponents Son Xinghan, Ali and Kane, it is still a little worse.

However, the people who eat melons are not a big deal, especially the fans in London, who are extremely looking forward to seeing Liverpool's loss at their home stadium, after all, Liverpool's performance this season is too strong.

Many people hope that the team they support is the team that ends Liverpool's winning streak, so Wembley Stadium, where this game is played, is almost full.

It was a strange and embarrassing record, as the stadium was almost filled to the brim by enthusiastic fans in the semi-finals between two giants who were not all players.

Li Qing stood in front of the ball, looking at the goal not far away, in the opponent's half, Tottenham players were already waiting.

At least 50,000 Tottenham fans were present at Wembley Stadium, which has a capacity of 90,000 people, and they were cheering for their team in unison to create a home atmosphere.

Looking at almost half of the stadium with fans wearing the opponent's white jerseys, Li Qing's eyes flashed a cold light, when the referee blew the whistle, Li Qing did not kick Sturridge to his own ball, and passed it back to the midfielders to organize the attack.

[Superstar Moment] Activation!

When Li Qing saw that Tottenham's goalkeeper Gazzaniga was standing a little forward, he was already thinking about making such a kick.

But compared with deterring opponents, Li Qing believes that scoring goals is a more direct way to deter.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the ball was like lightning, like a cannonball in the air, drawing a dazzling arc and hanging directly into the bottom right corner of the Tottenham goal.

The referee who had just blown the opening whistle was dumbfounded, the Tottenham players were dumbfounded, the Tottenham fans who were cheering were dumbfounded, the managers of both teams standing on the sidelines were dumbfounded, and even the Liverpool players were dumbfounded.

"Oh......"

When Li Qing jumped on Sturridge's body with cheers and waved his fist to celebrate his goal, the audience woke up like a dream.

How long has it been? a second, or two seconds?

I've heard before that Li Qing set the record for the fastest goal in the opening game against Kashima Antlers in the Club World Cup, and that goal only took a little more than a second, is he going to break that record today?

Li Qing rode on Sturridge, who was a little confused, craned his neck and looked around the court, looking at the surprised faces of countless people around him, and his mood was extremely comfortable.

In the opponent's home stadium, in the overwhelming cheers of the fans, scoring goals in the most incredible way, this is my attitude towards the game today.

Jumping off Sturridge, Li Qing crossed his hands on his hips and raised his chin at the Tottenham player who came back to his senses on the opposite side.

"Let the horses come!"
