On December 31st, Anfield was unprecedentedly grand.
Many football legends came to Anfield to watch the game, and the European media also gathered there.
Sylvia and Qin Xiong sat in the VIP box and waited for the game to start. Around her were Freddy and some sponsors' representatives, as well as Qin Xiong's usual friends and some of Liverpool's injured players. They were all here to welcome the historic moment.
If Qin Xiong could break the record that had been sealed for 39 years, it would be a landmark moment!
Qin Xiong's mentality was more relaxed. There were also many Chinese media in the media box who came to watch the game live.
Some Chinese sports and entertainment stars also came to watch the game live.
They were all cheering for Qin Xiong.
Watching Qin Xiong warm up on the field with ease and skillful control of the ball at his feet, the fans in the stands burst into enthusiastic cheers.
Newcastle United's performance this season was good. Halfway through the season, the Magpies were in the upper reaches of the table, closely following Chelsea and even possibly launching an attack on the UEFA Champions League.
When the game started, Newcastle United's purpose in coming to Anfield was clear: to defend to the death in order to get one point!
Liverpool lined up in a 4312 formation today.
Qin Xiong lay in ambush behind Raúl and Kuyt, with Alonso behind him to deliver the cannonball. The two flanks were handed over to the full-backs to coordinate and assist.
Liverpool played very openly. In the first 20 minutes of the game, they frequently threatened the opponent's goal with long shots.
After 20 minutes, they began to switch to a more varied style of play. The combination of the sides and the center, the flank passes to create chaos in the penalty area, and the continuous rapid attacks to pressure the opponent's defensive line.
In the 35th minute of the game, when Newcastle United had just cleared a Liverpool pass, Alonso controlled the ball 40 yards away from the goal and immediately sent the ball straight to Raúl's feet in the penalty area with a precise kick.
Raúl stopped the ball and turned to shoot, but he was tripped by Newcastle United's defender, Coloccini, and fell to the ground.
The referee ruled that Newcastle United had committed a foul in the penalty area, pointing to the penalty spot!
Anfield instantly cheered.
Raúl got up from the ground and walked towards Qin Xiong. He whispered to Qin Xiong, "You must score!"
Needless to say, if Qin Xiong, as the team's spot-kick player, scored this goal, he would tie with Gerd Muller's annual goal record and become a player who would go down in history.
History would become legends, and legends would eventually become legends!
Under the blessings and expectant gazes of the Liverpool fans, Qin Xiong came to the penalty spot. He looked at Newcastle United's goalkeeper, Krul, and waited for the referee to blow the whistle. Then, he ran up and deftly shot!
Everyone thought that Qin Xiong would shoot, but in the historical record, when the legendary door was waiting for him to open, he calmly shot the ball into the top right corner of the goal.
This was the embodiment of his strong psychological quality.
After the goal, Qin Xiong stood next to the penalty spot. He turned around with his arms flat and his eyes closed.
It was as if he was bathed in the glory of the holy light.
"Eighty-fifth goal! Qin Xiong has scored his 85th goal of the year! OMG！ OMG！ This is a historic moment in European football! Just like how many German players idolize Gerd Muller now, after Qin Xiong's retirement, he was bound to be the idol of countless future players!
This was an incredible year for Qin Xiong, and it was also a year where he broke many records. He was the number one scorer in the history of the Champions League, and he was also the superstar who led the team to successfully defend their title after the restructuring of the Champions League. Now, he had tied with Gerd Muller's annual goal record!
He still had about an hour to break this record!
The Anfield stands were already boiling with excitement! Many of the football legends in the VIP stands got up and applauded! "
The fans cheered wildly. Comain applauded on the sidelines. The Liverpool players on the substitutes' bench rushed to the sidelines, waved their jerseys and whistled, cheering for Qin Xiong's historic moment.
Sylvia picked Qin Ye up in the box and danced with excitement. Freddy hugged the two sponsor representatives on both sides and laughed heartily.
Qin Xiong had once again written his name into another historical record in the football world!
People were looking forward to Qin Xiong breaking Gerd Muller's record. The game continued.
The Newcastle United players also thought that Qin Xiong was great and incredible.
But they would not open the goal and let Qin Xiong easily break the record. After all, it was not glorious to set off.
But in the second half of the game, with the selfless help of his teammates, Qin Xiong got a lot of chances.
In the 63rd minute of the game, he received Dirk Kuyt's header in front of the penalty area and did a volley shot into the bottom left corner of the goal!
Anfield was boiling again!
The commentator was shouting heartily. Qin Xiong ran to the technical area and assistant manager Sammy Lee threw a Liverpool jersey to Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong showed the back of the jersey to the stands. His name and a number were on it, which actually represented his annual goal score: 86!
Surrounded by his teammates, Qin Xiong tossed the jersey onto the Kop's viewing platform!
The Red Army fans were ecstatic.
They had the best superstars of this era, and they also had the best team!
They firmly believed that Liverpool's glory would continue.
Because Qin Xiong was only 27 years old!
He could still continue to fight!
The Newcastle United players were quite helpless, but they also felt incredible about this historic moment.
It was a blessing to be in the same era as Qin Xiong, but it was also a misfortune to witness the miracle on the field.
In a place like the football temple Bernabéu, the success of a genius would suck the blood of countless geniuses!
Qin Xiong's achievements in European football in this era would also dim the stars of countless stars of the same era!
Newcastle United was unable to make waves in Anfield. Liverpool defeated Newcastle United at home with a score of 3: 0 thanks to Dirk Kuyt's goal in the last minute of the game.
After the game, Qin Xiong was interviewed by the reporters. He became the focus of attention, the focus of the world's attention!
The news of him breaking Geder Muller's 39-year-old scoring record not only caused a sensation in Europe, but also became the top news in the world that day!
Qin Xiong said in an interview, "Although I'm very excited to break a long-standing record, I feel that this is not my limit. I can still do more. Therefore, I will strive to score more goals next year."
2011 was once again known as the year of Qin Xiong.
In addition to the team honors such as the successful defense of the Champions League title, his 86 goals in a personal year made him a lock for the Ballon d 'Or without any suspense.
Another superstar of the same era, Messi, crazily broke the scoring record in 2012, breaking Qin Xiong's record at one point. Unfortunately, in 2012, the stronger Liverpool allowed Qin Xiong, who was at his peak, to break another new record. Messi was suppressed again, but that was a matter for next year …
