Chapter 330 The Redemption of the Rescue

Li Yanqing temporarily put aside his worries.

Just now, Karius made a brilliant save.

Mane unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the box, his first shot of the match, and it was of decent quality, sending the ball straight into the far corner of the goal.

Karius's "Barrier" was no pushover either; he took two steps and leaped to make the save.

Then he deflected the ball with his fingertips.

Surprisingly, it was Klopp on the other side who was the first to cheer.

He was all excited, his hands clenched into fists, and he had just uttered an "H" sound when he immediately realized that something was wrong with him.

Karius is no longer his player.

And the shot that was just blocked was taken by one of our own players...

"Hehe." Klopp chuckled somewhat helplessly.

He did remember those things, but he was just happy for Karius.

I accidentally lost control.

This kid has really found his form again at Burton.

Meanwhile, things weren't so easy for Li Yanqing.

His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, had just been put at ease.

Karius's most notable characteristic was his inconsistency.

Given that he hasn't played many games this season, it's impossible to be sure whether he has truly corrected this problem.

I'm afraid he might mess things up if he's not careful...

"Li, can we shrink our formation a little more?"

Lehmann offered his suggestion, clearly feeling that if they continued playing like this, conceding a goal was inevitable sooner or later.

However, Li Yanqing shook his head.

What a joke.

We're already using a 4-5-1 defensive system, why would we still be taking it back?

That can't be called the Turtle Formation; it has to be called the Cowardly Turtle Formation.

"There's no need for that."

"Although it looks dangerous, our defense is reliable most of the time."

Li Yanqing remained confident in his defense, despite having been thrashed in the previous match.

The only imperfection is that Sun Yan is not here.

Theoretically, this kind of match should be his home turf, and his presence would greatly reduce the pressure on him.

"If we completely retreat, we will have no means of retaliating."

"Look at the youth team, the opponent had no way to counter-attack, which is why Li Yichuan was able to shoot so many times."

"If we keep playing like this, it's okay if we concede a goal; I can accept that."

"Their style of play is destined to put them at a disadvantage in the second half."

"Then we'll need to put on a show."

Li Yanqing's thinking was very straightforward and remained unchanged.

A team like Liverpool doesn't need you to deliberately exhaust them.

They will reveal their true colors when the time comes.

Of course, this period of time may not be too long, otherwise they would not have won the league title and the Champions League title so easily.

On the field, Karius faced his second test.

Salah took the shot.

He showcased his signature skill, deftly creating space for a shot while being double-teamed by Bradford and Araujo.

He had very little time to react, but he still managed to shoot the ball cleanly.

This is the ability of a top shooter to seize opportunities.

Moreover, it's a distant angle...

"No, do you have some kind of tradition of shooting from the far corner?"

Li Yanqing dislikes it when others shoot towards the far corner of the goal during an attack.

It mainly refers to the other party.

Because for a goalkeeper, if the shot is accurate, there is almost no way to save it from the far corner.

The best outcome would be like before, poking it out with a fingertip and giving the opponent a corner kick.

Karius tried his best again this time.

He leaped into the air and made a similar save as before.

But frustratingly, this time it was just a little bit short!

Karius had already reached out, but could only watch as the ball grazed past his fingertips...

"Oops!"

At that moment, he felt a mix of emotions.

So much time has passed, and although he doesn't really care about what others think, he still doesn't want to concede a goal when facing his former club.

Perhaps Li Yanqing is right; he just wants to prove himself in front of Klopp.

Although she said she didn't care, she didn't really think so in her heart.

"go out!"

With that thought in mind, Karius closed his eyes, then mustered all his strength and tried to make contact with the ball again...

"boom!"

Lady Luck was still on Karius's side; although he still couldn't get the ball out of the box, he changed its trajectory at the last moment.

Salah's perfectly angled shot hit the post and then bounced back out of the penalty area.

pity......

Karius felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, but at the same time, he also felt a deep sense of regret.

Before the game ended, probably no one would have realized that he was the one who actually saved the ball.

They would just assume that Salah shot at a slightly too wide angle.

After all, the angle of change is too small...

He was right.

At least Li Yanqing didn't realize that the head coach was shouting pre-prepared signals from the sidelines, instructing the players to launch a quick counterattack.

Karius sat on the ground, panting, with a slightly bitter smile on his face.

"Fine, if nobody knows, nobody knows."

"I'm playing for myself."

He tried to comfort himself, but when he turned around, he saw Salah giving him a thumbs up.

Others might not know, but... the shooter himself did!

Salah was absolutely confident that his shot wouldn't go wide.

The ball should have struck the inside of the post and bounced into the goal.

He had practiced it countless times, and after shooting, he didn't feel anything unusual.

This can only be explained by the fact that the other party touched the ball at least a little.

He was naturally happy that his old teammate could be resurrected.

It would be even better if we weren't on the opposing team...

Just then, Henderson shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Back on defense! Muhammad!"

"Hold your position! We'll have plenty of time to catch up after the game!"

"Okay, okay." Salah hurriedly ran back, but by the time he got there, it was a little too late.

All he could see was Kvaladona dribbling the ball toward his own goal line, with only one player left in front of him.

Arnold's defensive ability is almost zero.

He was outplayed by a host of tough Premier League players this season, and his market value dropped by a third in just half a season.

If Li Yanqing were to evaluate him, he would say that he is a player whose offense and defense are not as good as Marcelo's, but whose style is similar.

Meanwhile, in the penalty area, players like David Luiz and Ogradi have already moved in from the middle to flank the defense!
