Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Despite everyone's expectations, the opening of the Liverpool vs Crystal Palace game was a bit of a surprise.

Crystal Palace played quite cautiously from the beginning, and they had the right to kick off, and the first choice was not to attack, but to shrink the formation and advance slowly.

And Liverpool didn't dare to press too much today, Matip has just returned from injury, Milner is a cameo right-back today, and the back line is really difficult to reassure.

So in the first ten minutes of the game, the field was very dull, but it was this dull scene that also made tens of thousands of Liverpool fans on the scene a little worried.

Because in the fifth minute of the game, Milner seemed to have suffered a leg injury during a scramble with Crystal Palace midfielder Macarthur and was carried off the field for treatment, and almost all Liverpool fans were nervous at that moment.

Everyone now knows that Liverpool no longer has a right-back, and once Milner is injured, Klopp will have to send Camacho from the youth team on the pitch.

Fortunately, it was Milner who was back on the pitch after a brief treatment by the team doctor, which relieved tens of thousands of Liverpool fans at Anfield.

Klopp on the sidelines immediately made adjustments to the position of the personnel on the field after Milner returned to the field, Mane and Li Qing made a switch, Mane went to play left winger, Li Qing played right winger.

Sadio Mane didn't seem very excited on the right side of the game today, and often pressed up and forgot to take it back, just because he didn't return in time, causing Milner to hit two and then get down to tackle the ball in a hurry, but he almost injured himself.

Obviously, Crystal Palace's tactics today are also targeted, and their several attempts after the opening game were aimed at Matip and Milner, so Klopp's decision was to relieve the pressure on the team's right side and ensure the team's attack.

Li Qing originally played as a right winger, and in past games, his right side has often been able to achieve quick decisions and quickly establish a lead when pressing the attack at the beginning of the game.

Jurgen Klopp put Li Qing on the right side of his familiar side, and wanted to establish the advantage as soon as possible, so that even if there was a problem at the back, he could guarantee the final victory of the game.

However, the first wave of threatening attacks in the game came from Crystal Palace, and Crystal Palace's attack in the middle, Zaha counter-attacked and crossed, Ayew headed wide.

Li Qing frowned slightly, just now Milner almost made a mistake, and the opposing attacking player Zaha broke through the cross from him, almost allowing the Crystal Palace striker to score the goal.

It seems that he has to work harder, otherwise if he lets the opponent score first, it will be bad for Liverpool in terms of both the scene and the psychological pressure.

But before a thought passed in his mind, the situation on the field changed, and the opponent Milivojevic intercepted Fabinho, who firmly controlled the ball at his feet without the slightest pass

Li Qing suddenly looked at the characteristics of his Brazilian teammate, and Li Qing knew it very clearly.

With a big man of more than 1.8 meters, the agility of Brazilian players can often pass good balls to the frontcourt players in the game, and her dribbling skills are also ranked among the best in the team.

Fabinho was clearly trying to dribble and draw more defensive force to the attacking players, and he did so.

Seeing that Milivojevic couldn't break the ball from Fabinho's feet, Kouyate rushed up and prepared to wrap up Fabinho, but as soon as Kouyate moved, Fabinho finally passed the ball and stuffed it straight through Kouyate.

A red figure quickly stepped forward, and Liverpool's No. 10 Li Qing did not hesitate at all, and immediately launched an attack on the hinterland of Crystal Palace after catching up with the ball.

Van Aanholt has always paid attention to Li Qing, so when Li Qing held the ball, he rushed towards him as soon as he held the ball, but Li Qing did not continue to break forward after running a few steps, but chose to pass the ball.

In the Crystal Palace penalty area, Roberto Firmino leaped high to press Tomkins to unload the ball, and then forced a turn to shoot at goal, only to be saved by goalkeeper Speroni.

The shot kicked off Liverpool's siege of Crystal Palace's gates, with Liverpool players bombarding the Palace penalty area.

Sadio Mane sent the ball to Keita, who immediately deflected a long ball and found Li Qing, who met the ball from outside the box and fired a long-range shot that was blocked by Speroni.

The ball fell at the feet of Crystal Palace defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and in the panic he cleared the ball and did not kick it far, the ball fell to the feet of Henderson, who rushed to the outside of the box, and Henderson shot vigorously from a distance, but unfortunately the force of the kick was too great, the ball was not pressed and went high over the crossbar.

Three minutes later, Li Qing had another long-range shot after he received another pass from Fabinho from outside the box, only to be saved by Speroni.

For most of the first half, the almost 40-year-old goalkeeper of Crystal Palace was really like a divine help, Mane, Fabinho and Firmino's shots failed to break through the goal he guarded, and Li Qing's shot was also rejected by him.

After a long time of attacking, Liverpool's players are a little impatient, sometimes the game is like this, there is a goalkeeper who is very lucky on the opposite side, and he really can't kick in no matter how he plays, which is very demoralizing.

Li Qing also felt a little incredible, just now he shot the goal, as soon as the ball was kicked out, he felt it, but Speroni's performance was really amazing, he blocked the ball with his legs at the moment when the ball was about to roll across the goal line.

It's really not the right time for the system to be upgraded! Li Qing scratched his head a little, this kind of must-score was also blocked, and he could only blame himself for his bad luck.

But at this moment, the counterattack of Crystal Palace began, Speroni drove forward with a big foot, and Macarthur took the header from captain Milivojevic, and a light pick-up was followed by a big stride to get rid of Milner, who was defending him.

McArthur, who had passed Milner, had a smooth road ahead of him, and he took the ball directly to the bottom of the cross, and the ball found Ayew in the middle with precision to follow up quickly.

Ayew didn't have a defender around him at this time, Matip was defeated in the chase just now, Ayew jumped high and hit a powerful header, because the distance was too close and the power was enough, Alisson failed to create a miracle.

"GOA1-" Sky Sports station Martin Taylor took a step ahead of Andy Gray and shouted, "Ghanaian striker Ayew helped Crystal Palace open the scoring and broke the deadlock on the pitch, leaving Liverpool behind at home!"
