Football: The strongest post-zero generation

On the afternoon of 9 February, tens of thousands of Liverpudders poured into Anfield, and it won't be long before Liverpool and Bournemouth face off in the 26th round of the Premier League.

A win for Liverpool would extend their unbeaten run in the league to 80 games and bring their winning streak to the second game of the season.

At the same time, this game is also the first game for Liverpool veteran Solanke, who just joined Bournemouth last month, to return to Liverpool, so this game has been hyped by the news media before the game.

However, according to Bournemouth's latest list of games, Solanke did not appear in the starting line-up, and Klein, another player who joined Bournemouth on loan with Solanke, did not appear in the squad.

However, Klein was unable to play because of the loan avoidance clause, and Solanke was dropped back on the bench because of his poor performance against Cardiff City in the previous round.

Therefore, Bournemouth's lineup for this game has basically not changed much compared to the one against Liverpool at home last year.

However, Liverpool's starting list for this game is a little different, the captain and vice captain did not appear in the squad at the same time, and Li Qing became the captain of this game.

Liverpool's starting line today, the goalkeeper is still No. 1 Alisson, Alexander-Arnold returned from injury to sit on the right side, forming a backline with Robertson, Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip.

In midfield, Fabinho, Naby Keita and Shaqiri formed the central axis, while the attacking trident of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Li Qing up front.

In this game, Liverpool still uses the offensive method of playing ground coordination, after all, Shaqiri and Keita, two technical players, are in the midfield, and Li Qing is in charge of the forward line.

Therefore, in the eyes of fans, it should not be a problem to win this game easily, after all, Bournemouth is just a team that has always been in the bottom of the Premier League rankings.

But the reality was different from what everyone had expected, and Klopp frowned and looked at the scoreboard in the stands, where the time clearly showed that twenty minutes had passed and the score was still 0-0.

In those 20 minutes, Liverpool basically did not have too decent shots on goal, although Liverpool dominated the situation on the field, with possession exceeding 7% at one point, but they could not score.

Except for Li Qing, who broke through to the opponent's penalty area with his personal ability in the 10th minute, there was a long-range opportunity, but Bournemouth's defense was very solid and failed to allow Li Qing to score.

Bournemouth's counterattack had a shot in the penalty area at the beginning, and after Li Qing's long-range shot failed, Bournemouth immediately returned to the color and once again broke into the zone to threaten.

If it weren't for Alisson's courage and limited ability to shoot with his hands, Liverpool would have been two goals behind by now.

The fans in the stands at Anfield Stadium began to get anxious, but the way they were anxious was to sing the team song loudly, and the atmosphere of the whole stadium was instantly brought to a climax by the whole singing.

But Jurgen Klopp on the sidelines didn't look in a hurry, and neither did the Liverpool captain on the pitch.

Li Qing has already seen that although the opponent's defense is solid, their focus is on the wings, probably because of their presence, they are more focused on themselves.

In fact, it is true that most of Liverpool's attacks are used to being completed by Li Qing, so Bournemouth's tactics are to see Li Qing to death and prevent him from having a chance to score, so as to limit Liverpool's attack.

But as everyone knows, they do this, so that their defense in the center and on the left side of the formation of more and more gaps.

Li Qing also saw it, so taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, he leaned in front of Mane, "Pay attention to the game later, you have to work hard, can you win the opponent with four goals today, you can't just point at me alone!"

Mane heard this, and immediately rejoiced, since Li Qing said so, he will definitely pass the ball to him next, although he can't head the ball, but as long as he is given the opportunity to play a quick counterattack, none of the Bournemouth players on the field are his opponents.

So the Senegalese star happily ran to his position, but he didn't have to run a few steps back when Bournemouth's high ball was headed back into their half by Van Dijk, Li Qing grabbed the first point, turned and accelerated past the defenders who defended him.

Mane immediately turned around and ran, but he remembered what Li Qing had just said, especially when he saw Li Qing's bottom-down breakthrough posture, every cell in his body screamed.

My chance is coming, the goal is coming, captain, wait for me, I'm coming! Mane wanted to shout excitedly, and Ake, who was staring at him, was thrown away several positions by Mane without paying attention.

"Lee's take the ball, he broke through!" The on-site commentator was also shouting loudly, and the fans in the stands immediately shouted excitedly, and countless Liverpool fans were looking forward to what they had been expecting to happen.

Ake rushed towards Li Qing, he was now the last player in front of Li Qing at Bournemouth, Li Qing was still dribbling at high speed, he had to suppress the opponent's speed, and he couldn't let Li Qing rush into the penalty area like this, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

But the reality made Ake at a loss, Li Qing in the high-speed dribbling, can also show his superb foot skills as he wants, suddenly a quick stop pull ball turn, get rid of him, followed by the bottom cross.

Firmino and Fabinho had already rushed into the Bournemouth penalty area, and there was chaos in front of Bournemouth's goal, but Li Qing's ball went over the heads of everyone in the box, and no one could reach the goal.

"Back point, go back point, guard Mane!" Borussia shouted loudly, directing his defenders, and as a goalkeeper, he immediately discovered what the ultimate goal of the goal was.

But it was already night, although Li Qing's ball was passed high, but the speed was very fast, and when Borutz shouted, the ball had already fallen to Mane's feet.

Mane, who had already rushed to the edge of the arc of the penalty area, took the ball, faced the Bournemouth defenders who pounced on him, duffled a shot, and made a posture ready to cut cross, causing the opponent to follow the footsteps, and then giving him space to shoot.

In the face of the vacancy given by the opponent, Mane did not have the slightest politeness, and directly shot vigorously, the football drew a white light, and the electricity also drilled into the Bournemouth goal.

When he saw the ball hit the net, Mane smiled excitedly and rushed all the way to Li Qing......
