Football: The strongest post-zero generation.

With the arrival of Liverpool, Tottenham has become lively, because the first leg of the League Cup semi-final will be held at Wembley Stadium, and Tottenham will play at home against the challenging Liverpool.

Very early in the game, the coaches of both teams had already announced the starting lineups on their official websites. The names of two of them suddenly made many people full of expectations for the game.

These two people are Tottenham Hotspur striker Son Heung-min and Liverpool's star player and Premier League top scorer Li Qing.

Because these two players are both Asian, are also the absolute main force of their respective clubs, and are also the core of the frontcourt attack, so what kind of sparks they will collide in this game is very exciting.

In the last FA Cup match, Tottenham Hotspur swept their opponents with a score of 7:0 and advanced. At the same time, many main players got the opportunity to rest and prepare for this League Cup match.

Asian superstar Son Heung-min, who did not get a rest, has been in very hot form recently. In the past six games, he has participated in 6 of the team's goals.

As for Liverpool, they have won all the games on all fronts so far this season. As the core of the attack, Li Qing's goal scoring volume has slightly decreased recently, but his statistics are still not comparable to Son Heung-min's.

Therefore, this game is also the best opportunity for the two Asian super forwards to prove themselves. So before the game started, media people from all sides began to make their own judgments on the game through various rumors and past data.

[The Times]: There is no doubt that the outcome of this game lies in the core players of the two teams, and the duel between Lee and Sun is not the only highlight.

[The Sun]: Compared with Tottenham's starting lineup, Liverpool's lineup seemed to be completing a mission, and Lee's starting lineup was just to appease the fans.

[The Guardian]: The mystery of Liverpool's first defeat this season is about to be revealed. The victory halo of genius Lee may not be able to bless his team!

[Mirror]: A passionate collision between the second and first place in the league, the League Cup will be the best venue for Tottenham to prove themselves.

[Post]: Liverpool faced up to the reality and gave up the League Cup. With Tottenham's strength, they can only show their style in this unimportant cup competition.

The media's voice has attracted enough attention to the match between Liverpool and Tottenham, but that's all. Compared with the match, another hot spot of this match has also attracted the attention of many people.

Starting from this season, the English Football Association has decided to introduce VAR technology in the League Cup semi-finals and finals, in preparation for the full implementation of VAR technology in the Premier League next season.

The use of VAR technology has always been controversial in the football world, but judging from last year's World Cup in Russia, if used properly, it will not affect the smoothness of the game. On the contrary, it can increase the expectations of players and spectators.

Among the top five leagues today, only the Premier League is lagging behind in the introduction of VAR technology. This season, the English Football Association is still very cautious about how to introduce the use of VAR technology, and finally decided to use it in the League Cup semi-finals and finals.

Therefore, this game is not just an ordinary League Cup semi-final, but also a milestone game that will be recorded in the history of English football.

For such a game, Tottenham, playing at home, naturally took it very seriously, and this can be seen from their lineup.

Except for the goalkeeper and substitute goalkeeper Gazzaniga, main players such as Alderweireld, Rose, Sissoko, Ali, Eriksen, Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, etc. will all appear on the field.

As for Liverpool, the goalkeeper is substitute Mignolet, the back line is a substitute plus youth team lineup led by Randall and Morello, and the midfielders are Curtis Jones, Rafael Camacho and Milner.

On the forward line, Li Qing, Sturridge and Origi lead the team. It can be said that the forward trident is the strongest link of Liverpool in this game, but compared with the combination of opponents such as Sun Xinghan, Ali and Kane, it is still a little worse.

However, the spectators, especially the fans in London, are looking forward to seeing Liverpool lose miserably in their home stadium. After all, Liverpool's performance this season is too strong.

Many people hope that the team they support will be the one that ends Liverpool's winning streak, so the Wembley Stadium where the game is held is almost full.

This also created a strange and embarrassing record. In the semi-finals between two top teams that did not have all their main players, the stadium was almost full of enthusiastic fans.

Li Qing stood in front of the ball, looking at the goal not far away. In the opponent's half, Tottenham players were already ready.

At Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate 90,000 people, there are at least 50,000 Tottenham fans present today. At this moment, they are cheering in unison for the team they support, creating a home atmosphere.

Seeing that almost half of the stadium was filled with fans wearing the opponent's white jerseys, a cold light flashed across Li Qing's eyes. When the referee blew the whistle, Li Qing did not pass the ball that Sturridge kicked towards himself, but passed it back to the midfielder to organize the attack.

[Superstar Moment] starts!

When Li Qing saw that Tottenham's goalkeeper Gazzaniga was standing a little forward, he had already been planning on making such a kick.

But compared to intimidating opponents, Li Qing believes that scoring a goal is a more direct way of deterrence.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the ball was like lightning, drawing a dazzling arc in the air like a cannonball, and went directly into the lower right corner of Tottenham's goal.

The referee who had just blew the opening whistle was dumbfounded, the Tottenham players were dumbfounded, the cheering Tottenham fans were dumbfounded, the head coaches of both teams standing on the sidelines were dumbfounded, and even the Liverpool players were dumbfounded.

"Oh……"

When Li Qing jumped on Sturridge and celebrated his goal with his fist, everyone in the audience woke up from their dream.

The ball went in? How long has it been? One second, or two seconds?

We have heard before that Li Qing set the record for the fastest goal at the opening of the Club World Cup match against Kashima Antlers. That goal took just over one second. Is he planning to break this record today?

Li Qing rode on the dazed Sturridge, tilted his neck and looked around the stadium. Looking at the surprised faces of countless people around him, he felt extremely comfortable.

In the opponent's home stadium, amid the overwhelming cheers of the fans, I scored a goal in the most incredible way. This is my attitude towards the game today.

Jumping off Sturridge, Li Qing put his hands on his hips and raised his chin towards the Tottenham players who had come to their senses.

"Come on horseback!"
