Football career: From winning the championship to becoming a legend

After Alves stopped the ball, he calmly observed the situation. Although the straight-line distance to the goal was less than 30 yards and there were no other defensive players except the goalkeeper, the angle was too biased and Valdes also blocked the near corner, so a long shot was not a good choice.

Kanoute has already made a forward move in the penalty area, Puyol is entangled with him and is moving around to prevent the cross; it is difficult to pass the ball to Kanoute, as Puyol will probably intercept the ball in front of him. If the ball is too close to the goal, Valdés may be blocked. If the ball is passed to the back, it may be an opportunity, but it is unclear whether Zambrotta has returned to defense...

However, Alves had no time to think: Marcos had already abandoned Navas and came over to defend. Looking at the fierce look in the old man's eyes, he might not be able to pass even if he got a card for a foul! Should he pass the ball back to Navas or make a triangle to the top of the penalty area?

Damn! No more passing. It’s a rare counterattack opportunity. Let’s just take it! At the top of the penalty area, there’s a high probability that Renato will be there! Take a gamble! Give it to…

Chiara in front of the TV had already nervously bit her collar, with the hem lifted up, revealing most of her dark purple lace panties. She stared at the TV screen, listening attentively to the passionate commentary of the broadcast!

"Zambrotta threw the ball out of bounds again! Oh! This time Ronaldinho came to the wing to receive it!"

"This time Ronaldinho successfully leaned on Li Qi. After all, the former World Footballer of the Year has good physical fitness. He was not as easily pushed off the center of gravity by Li Qi as Messi and Iniesta before..."

"Ronaldinho protects the ball... passes it to Xavi behind him... Xavi passes it long! There's space!"

"Giuli got the ball on the right side of Barcelona. Sevilla was too empty this time and no one could interfere with Giuli!"

"Van Bronckhorst also came up, and Alves was taken away..."

"Messi and Giuly made a cross-run, Giuly cut inside! Paulson was fooled by Giuly's eyes, Giuly didn't pass the ball to Messi..."

"Giuli is facing the last defender! Dragutinovic is defending against the agile Giuli, but he is too clumsy..."

"Continuous feints! There's a gap! Opportunity! Shoot!"

"Oh my god! Li Qi rushed out from the side and blocked Giuly's shot with a tackle, and the ball was blocked..."

"Alves! Alves on the wing used his face to block the ball that was shoveled over by Li Qi..."

"Sevilla immediately launched a counterattack! This is the home team's chance. Alves stopped suddenly and shot from the spot!"

"Barcelona attacked from the left, but with one more player, Barcelona exposed a flaw on the left!"

"A large open field... Alves and Navas, 2 on 2!"

"Alves passed the ball and bypassed Marcos! Oh! Marcos tried to pull Alves' jersey but couldn't reach it..."

"Navas...Navas made a straight pass and sent Alves on his way again!"

"Oleg and Alves are competing in speed! But Alves has already rushed forward! Oleg is too late..."

"Oleg, put down the shovel! Ohhhhh! Damn it!"

"Alves got the ball first, made an emergency stop and dunked the ball, directly knocking Oleg away, and Oleg was out of bounds..."

"There is no defender in front of Alves! He is observing! He is approaching the edge of the penalty area..."

"Marcos rushed over, it was a matter of either keeping the man or the ball!"

"Inverted triangle! Alves made a powerful low pass to the top of the penalty area..."

"Renato! Shoot the ball!"

"Valdes! Valdes! Great save! Great save!"

"Valdes saved Barcelona again! This save was amazing! Valdes reacted extremely fast, jumped into the air, stretched out his arms, and flew to knock Renato's powerful shot from the top of the penalty area out of the bottom line!"

"Just now, Sevilla goalkeeper Palop miraculously blocked Ronaldinho's penalty kick, and Valdés responded with a great save, blocking Sevilla's counterattack and keeping the goal intact!"

"Let's review this attack in slow motion... Renato's shot was quite good, with plenty of power and a good angle, and it went straight to the top corner of Barcelona's goal!"

"But Valdés still managed to block the ball with his fingertips... Renato and the Sevilla players all held their heads in disbelief..."

Even Chiara in front of the TV fell on the sofa with a flushed face and disheveled clothes: I almost came, I was too excited, luckily I didn't enter, otherwise it would be embarrassing, and he's not my boyfriend...

Of course Alves also had a red face, but it was probably the aftereffect of the ball hitting his face just now, and it would disappear soon.

Renato, who missed the chance to score, could only quickly pick up the ball and prepare for a corner kick.

However, Renato's corner kick from the right was once again grabbed by Li Qi, who beat Puyol and headed the ball into the goal from the middle of the penalty area! The ball had already passed Valdés' defense, but was cleared on the goal line by Iniesta who was waiting at the far post.

The ball was not blocked at first, and Paulson followed up and shot the ball at the edge of the small penalty area. Unfortunately, due to Zambrotta's interference, Paulson's volley shot missed the target and the ball went out of the goal range...

Sevilla's three consecutive attacks scared the entire Barcelona team into a cold sweat, but unfortunately they failed to score a goal. Li Qi was also a little regretful. He had a feeling that his header was going to go in, but it was blocked by Xiaobai on the penalty area line...

However, Li Qi did not have time to feel upset. After all, he was one man less on the field. He quickly organized the formation and returned to defense. He had just taken advantage of a burst of attack, but that did not mean he could continue to attack against the technically superior Barcelona. He would be taught a lesson if he did. With one man less, he had better go back and hide, and wait for an opportunity to steal a goal.

The game was then taken over by Barcelona with one more man, but facing Sevilla's tight defense, Barcelona failed to create any good opportunities in the rest of the first half.

As Ronaldinho's direct free kick from 28 yards on the left was confiscated by Palop, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half and both sides entered the halftime break.

In the locker room, Li Qi and Juan Ramos exchanged views. Although Barcelona took the lead in the first half and caused Sevilla to receive a red card, Barcelona did not have many chances and did not play well. Instead, Sevilla created more chances.

Li Qi also clearly felt that Barcelona lacked the belief to win, they were not active in running, their passing and receiving were not good, and the whole team was a little absent-minded. On the contrary, Sevilla's tactics were well arranged. If it were not for Osio's reckless red card, the whole team's performance would have been above the standard.

Especially Li Qi, he felt very good today, his explosive moments were triggered one after another. In the last stage of the first half, he relied on his own strength to prevent Barcelona's midfield from passing through the midfield smoothly... So Li Qi, even if Sevilla has one less player in the second half, as long as everyone is united, there is a chance to turn defeat into victory!

Juan Ramos also agreed with this. He could feel that the momentum in the first half was on the home team's side. What's more, Li Qi was indeed omnipotent today. I don't know if it was because of the bonus of playing against his old club or because he had the confidence as the core organizer of the team... Anyway, the advantage is on my side, and the second half will continue to revolve around Li Qi!

Immediately afterwards, Juan Ramos also made personnel adjustments, with Korzakov coming on as left winger, David leaving the field, and Adriano retreating to play left back, maintaining the intensity of the attack and strengthening the physical advantage.

Before leaving the locker room, Juan Ramos gave the whole team a boost, and encouraged them to beat the sissy guys on the other side! The morale of the whole team was greatly boosted, and Li Qi also agreed with his teammates that they would rush in immediately after the kick-off, taking advantage of Korzakov's recent substitution and the recovery of some of his energy during the halftime break, to see if they could steal a goal in the chaos.

So as soon as the second half started, Sevilla launched a fierce attack on Barcelona's position, catching Barcelona off guard, because Rijkaard's adjustment in the midfield was based on the idea that the home team, with one less player, would inevitably shrink back on defense...

However, this time, Sevilla did not miss the opportunity. Just one minute into the second half, under Li Qi's pressure, Iniesta made a mistake in passing the ball and was intercepted by Alves; the latter directly sent the ball back to Li Qi and launched a counterattack on the spot.

However, Li Qi stopped the ball and turned around to avoid Xavi's entanglement, and then made a fake move, making Barcelona's defenders think that Li Qi would pass the ball to the side again, and made a wall pass to Alves, who had made Barcelona's left side a sieve in the first half, which immediately deceived Marcos and Puyol's center of gravity.

Then Li Qi turned around and made a powerful pass directly to the middle, and the ball was forced to the feet of Korzakov who had just cut in from the left; the latter took the ball and entered the penalty area. Zambrotta did not dare to make any move on the side.

However, Oleg was also blocked by Kanoute's body and could not interfere with Korzakov in the first time; the latter got a half-single-ball opportunity with a clear shooting range!

Korzakov did not hesitate, and adjusted his step, and shot with his right foot in the middle of the penalty area 18 yards in front of the goal! The ball went straight into the net in the lower left corner of the goal... This time, even if Valdez flew and stretched his body to the extreme, he could not stop the ball from entering the net.

In the second half, before Barcelona could recover, Sevilla's blitzkrieg penetrated the goal. From Alves' interception to Korzakov's goal, the Sevilla team had only 7 touches of the ball, including 3 by Li Qi, 5 by Alves and by Korzakov. It took only about seconds...

Sevilla, who was one man down, gave the visiting team Barcelona a wake-up call at the beginning of the second half and reversed the score to 2-1!

Then Barcelona kicked off from the center circle. Li Qi took advantage of the team's high morale and Barcelona seemed to be in a daze, and organized another wave of siege. Unfortunately, this time Kanoute received a cross from Korzakov and his shot on the right side of the small penalty area was miraculously saved by Valdes again.

Seeing that he could not expand the results of the sneak attack, Li Qi quickly commanded the whole team to return to defense, tighten the fence and welcome Barcelona's counterattack; however, Li Qi felt that Barcelona's counterattack would not last long and Sevilla would definitely have another chance.

Then, from the 50th minute to the 60th minute, Barcelona, ​​which was behind in the score, seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and all players pressed forward and launched a crazy counterattack; however, the center of the midfield strictly guarded by Li Qi and Renato was still a restricted area that Barcelona could not break through, and they could only organize the attack by avoiding Li Qi's defense area.

In the 52nd minute, Marcos passed the ball to the wing, and Ronaldinho, who switched positions with Giuly, shot wide from 25 yards on the right.

In the 54th minute, Messi, who switched to the left, broke through but was intercepted by Alves. The ball bounced to the middle. Xavi took a hasty long shot from 25 yards in front of the goal before Li Qi, but the ball went slightly wide of the upper left corner.

In the 58th minute, Xavi and Iniesta cooperated with each other through the wall, dodged Li Qi's save and sent a straight pass to the wing. After receiving the ball on the right, Messi cut inside to 25 yards and faced Li Qi who was returning to defense with a left-footed shot. Unfortunately, the ball was saved by Palop who performed well and hit the crossbar.

Li Qi's high interception and low grabbing made it difficult for Barcelona to easily pass through Sevilla's midfield barrier. They could only shoot from the two wings, but this would inevitably lead to a low success rate and poor results. For a while, Li Qi seemed like a midfield killer, and he overwhelmed the visiting team in momentum. In just ten minutes, although Barcelona mainly controlled the ball and shot four times, Li Qi intercepted the ball five times.

It was only because Barcelona had many people in the middle of the midfield that they could immediately counterattack and win back the ball or commit a foul to prevent Li Qi from launching a quick counterattack. Otherwise, Sevilla might have been able to steal another one.

But in reality, it was Li Qi who controlled the tempo of the whole team. He did not blindly counterattack and lose his defensive position. After all, there was still one less person, and the whole team needed to conserve their strength. Otherwise, if the counterattack failed to widen the score, they would be outpaced by Basara in the final moments of the game due to lack of physical strength, which would be a loss.

Li Qi thought that since we were leading, we should let Barcelona attack for a while to lower their guard. When the opponent pressed too hard and their old strength was gone and new strength had not yet been generated, and loopholes appeared in their defense again, that would be the time for us to counterattack.

Originally, Li Qi thought that this time should come after 75 minutes of the game, but unexpectedly, Barcelona was even weaker than expected, and such an opportunity appeared just after 60 minutes of the game.

Marcos retreated to support and crossed the half court with the ball. Facing Li Qi's defense, Marcos didn't think twice and passed the ball to Xavi for organization. But Li Qi knew Barcelona's midfield system too well. As soon as Marcos raised his foot, Li Qi knew what the opponent was holding back, and he didn't hesitate to rush to steal the ball.

Marcos was obviously less alert when facing Sevilla who was one man down, and he passed the ball casually and without enough power. When he saw Li Qi rushing up, he realized that something was wrong and rushed over to intercept him.

But Li Qi didn't give Harvey a chance at all. He used his body to knock away Harvey who wanted to catch the ball, intercepted Marcos' pass in advance, and rushed past Marcos who rushed to him from the side, leaving only two taillights that were out of reach for the latter...

Sevilla has another golden counterattack opportunity!

Chiara, who was watching the live broadcast, jumped up excitedly again and waved her fists. She didn't notice at all that the straps of her pajamas had slipped off. There was nothing she could do. Li Qi's violent steals and crazy charges were so exciting that the TV live broadcast alone made the audience's adrenaline soar!

"Zambrotta... Puyol... Oleguer... Marcos, Marcos dribbles the ball across half court and passes it..."

"Oh! Go! Li Qi intercepted the ball!"

"Li Qi flashed past Marcos and passed the ball to Korzakov who cut inside..."

"Oleg takes a throw! This is a red card move... The referee favors the offense!"

"Li Qi stole the ball too quickly! He entered the penalty area and Puyol couldn't catch up..."

"Valdes also attacked... Oh! Li Qi rushed too far, too close to the baseline, the angle was too small..."

"Heel! Richie's acrobatic heel..."

"Alves! Shoot from the right side of the penalty area..."

"Ditch oooooh! Ditch oooooh! Ditch!"

"Alves followed, received the pass from Li Qi with his heel, and shot into the empty goal from the edge of the penalty area. Zambrotta and Iniesta were unable to return to defense in time, and Valdés attacked again to block Li Qi's shooting angle..."

"Oh my God! Sevilla's counterattack this time is even faster than the previous one..."

"It took less than 5 seconds, and he touched the ball 6 times. This time, Li Qi touched the ball 4 times..."

"Marcos should take responsibility for his careless pass. Li Qi had already judged that he was going to pass the ball to Xavi, and the speed of the pass was too slow..."

"But Alves was also very smart. After Li Qi stole the ball, he started to follow up at full speed... These two people have a tacit understanding and trust each other very much..."

"Li Qi's 11th steal and second assist of the game, Sevilla 3-1!"

Sevilla once again took the lead in the 61st minute. Li Qi intercepted the ball in the midfield and launched a counterattack. He used his heel to knock the ball near the baseline to assist Alves who was in position in time and shot the ball into the empty goal...
