"Liverpool's new manager, Comain, has placed Qin Xiong in the left wing position in the front field. This is the third position that Qin Xiong has played in in his career. He did well at White Hart Lane today and reminded me of someone. Paul, guess who it is?"
"Haha, of course, it's Ronaldinho, who was once worshipped by the European football world. Looking at Qin Xiong's passing and escaping from the front, as well as his figure driving the opponent's defensive line to move, it's easy to associate him with that person."
"There were people who were worried that Qin Xiong's arrival would change Gerard's position, for example, to play as the right midfielder. But now it seems that Comain has solved this problem himself."
"Wait, Andy, I think it's too early to make a conclusion. Qin Xiong's performance is good, but we still don't know if he can be as dominant on the field as he was in the past, especially if he can make a huge contribution to the team's victory. We can't make a conclusion just because of one beautiful pass and a few wonderful passes."
"Martin, you're right. Let's continue to watch."
Tottenham Hotspur's offense on the field was more difficult. Although they sped up the pace, Liverpool's overall defensive quality was very high. It was difficult for them to tear apart Liverpool's defensive line with their legendary combination.
In the 13th minute of the game, Qin Xiong once again controlled the ball on the left side of the front field. When Keane, who was chasing from behind, came to press for the ball, Qin Xiong pulled the ball back behind him. When Keane retracted his body's weight, Qin Xiong knocked the ball from behind to the front and started to move forward to avoid Keane's pressing.
Giorgio Luca, who took the opportunity to press for the ball, overestimated himself. Before his foot touched the ball, Qin Xiong had already pushed the ball horizontally and got rid of his pressing.
Qin Xiong did not use much power, at least he did not take the initiative to explode. Giorgio Luca's defense was broken.
This made Tottenham Hotspur's Basson very angry. He moved towards Giorgio Luca and shouted at him, "Don't rush to intercept him. You're not his opponent at all! I'm not humiliating you. This is the truth! None of us can stop him! "
Giorgio Luca, who had only come to the Premier League in the summer of 2007, had never played against Qin Xiong.
However, Qin Xiong, who had been away from La Liga for three years, had his own legend in the Premier League!
No one dared to underestimate the China Mystic Dragon, who had once ravaged the defensive line of the English Premier League!
Perhaps only players like Giorgio Luca, who had only heard of his name but had never met him, were naive enough to try to write the legend of "Slaying the Dragon" and become famous in one fell swoop.
In the end, reality had mercilessly dealt him a painful blow. If today's repeated failed interceptions and being toyed with by the leisurely Qin Xiong would not have become a nightmare, then perhaps it would have become a valuable competition experience for him.
Just as Tottenham Hotspur's defensive line moved to the left to cover for Joel Luca's reckless scramble, Heddlestone and Modric attacked Qin Xiong from both sides.
Heddlestone ran diagonally to block Qin Xiong's path forward with the ball. Modric was like an assassin as he attacked from the side behind Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong looked up to observe the situation in the penalty area as he controlled the ball. He acted as if he was on the training ground and passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area.
His indifferent and calm demeanor made him seem out of place in this arena.
The football flew to the back of the penalty area. As Tottenham Hotspur's defensive line moved to the left, Hector immediately turned around when he saw the football fly over his head to the back. However, as soon as he turned around, there was a blur in front of his eyes. A black figure swept past like a whirlwind.
Kuyt leaped high to head the ball into the goal!
Bang!
Under the watchful eyes of the Tottenham Hotspur fans at White Hart Lane, the football hit the outside of the goalpost and bounced out of the end line!
Kuyt landed and waved his fist heavily. He felt very regretful and guilty that he had failed to live up to Qin Xiong's efforts.
"Look! Qin Xiong has passed another beautiful threatening ball. He is always able to penetrate the weakest link of the opponent's defensive line. Unfortunately, Liverpool's luck is not good today. Kuyt's bound header actually hit the goalpost! "
"How long has it been since the game started? Qin Xiong has already delivered at least two threatening balls. He is starting to make the Tottenham Hotspur team nervous and pressured, haha! "
The Tottenham Hotspur team was indeed starting to get nervous. Joel Luca realized the gap between himself and Qin Xiong. His whimsical attempt to directly steal the ball from Qin Xiong's feet was undoubtedly asking for humiliation. Meanwhile, the rest of the Tottenham Hotspur team's defensive players began to focus on Qin Xiong's point in defense in order to contain Qin Xiong's play.
In the 17th minute of the game, Keane tried to create a chance for Defoe after receiving Modric's pass in front of the penalty area. However, Defoe was in an offside position.
After the referee ruled that Defoe was offside, the goalkeeper, Reina, placed the football on the line of the small penalty area and quickly opened a free kick.
Glen Johnson dribbled the ball from the flank and rushed forward. After crossing half of the field, he passed the ball to Alonso, who plugged in from the middle.
Alonso was facing Modric's defense in front of him. He observed the situation in the front field and keenly perceived Qin Xiong's movement to cut inside on the left side of the front field. Therefore, he accurately sent out a direct pass on the ground.
Qin Xiong did not directly charge into the penalty area. He came diagonally to the front of the penalty area from the flank position in the middle of the front field, about thirty yards away from the goal.
And his position made the Tottenham Hotspur team's defense very awkward.
It was almost a three-point situation.
Joel Luca, Heddlestone, and Basson were standing at the center of the three men's positions.
The moment Qin Xiong stopped the ball, the three men chose to close in on Qin Xiong because they were about the same distance from Qin Xiong.
In a flash, Qin Xiong glanced at the situation behind Basson from the corner of his eyes.
As soon as the defenders moved, the situation in the penalty area was naturally the first thing Qin Xiong wanted to observe.
Seeing Torres's movement diagonally start and lean forward, the corners of Qin Xiong's mouth lifted slightly, and the smile disappeared in a flash.
He knocked the ball on the spot with the arch of his foot, and the football rolled diagonally from Basson's side into the penalty area.
Torres diagonally cut to the left side of Ledley King and completed a seemingly unflashy but very tacit and exquisite cooperation with Qin Xiong.
Torres made a move to directly kick the goal, and King, who was the next step to start, was very passive.
He could only take advantage of the situation to use a tackle to block the path of Torres's shot.
When he gritted his teeth and slid past, he was surprised to see Torres's left foot, which had made a move to shoot, kick the ball on the spot. King and the football staggered past each other, right in front of his eyes!
After Torres kicked the ball past King, the goal was already wide open in front of him. The goalkeeper, Gomes, pretended to be calm as he approached the outside. Torres ignored him and cleanly used the arch of his foot to shoot at the far corner of the goal.
The football did not spin and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal. Gomes did not make a save, but twisted his body strangely in place, as if he wanted to use a "dance" to interfere with Torres's shot.
As a result, he turned his head to look and only saw the football spinning in the goal.
