Atlantic Stadium, the LED screen in mid-air showed the score of 1:0.
The stands erupted into thunderous applause.
Spanish fans are delighted to be ahead.
German fans are also very satisfied with the performance of the players. They believe that their team is just a little bit lucky from scoring.
Players from both sides walked slowly off the green field.
De Gea put his hand on Li Kang's shoulder and said as he walked: "Li, the German team will tighten the pressure in the second half. Remember to remind me when to move forward. Alonso reminded me before."
Li Kang nodded seriously.
De Gea is not a rookie, just because the Spanish passing control system has relatively "different" requirements for goalkeepers.
If the goalkeeper can expand the coverage and become an important passing point in the backcourt, increasing the passing options of his teammates, it can improve the team's overall defense, which will force the German team to invest more people in pressing.
It's normal for him to not adapt to the passing and controlling system.
Debuted from Atletico Madrid youth training.
At the age of 18, he is the most dazzling super talented goalkeeper in La Liga.
Against the "Triple Crown" Inter Milan, God came down to help the team win the European Super Cup.
At the age of 21, he transferred to Manchester United with the world's second-highest goalkeeper value and became a nightmare for Premier League shooters.
The early part of his career was the perfect template for a goalkeeper.
However, the tactical systems of Atletico Madrid and Manchester United are very different from those of the Spanish national team.
To put it more generally.
Weak teams and strong teams.
No, teams that "get beaten" and teams that "beat people up" have different requirements for goalkeepers.
If you let a goal striker like Neuer go to Atletico Madrid or Manchester United, he may not be better than De Gea.
If you ask De Gea to go to Schalke 04 or Bayern, he may not be able to survive.
A player's career planning and transfer choices are crucial.
The two passed by the German team's command area.
Loew seemed to be waiting for something, and reached out his hand to Li Kang enthusiastically.
De Gea's reaction arc was very short, and he grabbed the latex gloves he had just taken off and held them.
Li Kang greeted politely.
Even the photographer found the shot a bit awkward.
Loew smiled and touched the back of De Gea's head affectionately.
After a while.
Spanish dressing room.
Team doctors and masseurs are providing services to veterans such as Iniesta.
Mignano adjusted the position of the tactical board.
Members of the coaching staff began to explain possible problems that may arise in the second half.
"At the end of the first half, the German team was also resting, and the opponent did not put in too many pressing personnel."
"Our pass control did not consume the physical energy of most of their players."
Mignano quickly interjected: "Yes, I saw the German assistant coach observing and taking notes. In the second half, they will definitely target a few weaker passing points in our backcourt!"
"Slightly weaker transfer point."
Everyone's eyes unconsciously moved to San Jose.
The Basque defender scratched his head in embarrassment.
In terms of defense alone, he is at his peak and is not weak at all. His solid performance last season can vaguely touch the threshold of the top teams in Europe. After all, he is also a top student in the Bilbao youth training and Liverpool's Kirkby Academy.
It was just that there was a penalty kick against Italy in the last round, and there were a lot of passing errors in this game.
Ramos and Juanfran are trying to explain to the young central defender.
An old voice sounded, easing the awkward atmosphere in the locker room.
“There’s no weaker passing point.”
“There was a disconnect on a stylistic level between our backcourt and our midfield.”
"It was this disconnect that allowed the German team to withstand two threatening attacks in the first half."
Bosque patted his big belly and said easily.
Gentle eyes swept over the substitute players
Li Kang looked at the small flag on the tactical board and became fascinated.
Isco on the side quietly moved his position, not daring to disturb.
According to the past: Contrary to the ratings and attention, the skills and tactics of the national team are far behind the clubs. It is not that the level of the national team's coaching staff is low, but that it is not so easy for the national team to spend money to buy people to build a team. The team and players don’t have much time to train and work together.
But a few teams are exceptions.
They moved the system of the strongest club in their league to the national team
In this way, it will be a dimensionality reduction blow to other teams.
Germany dressing room.
No negative vibes or any inspiring and inspiring speeches.
Players rest and relax on a regular basis.
Loew gently explained the tactical adjustments for the second half.
He is a stubborn person.
But he will not express his stubbornness with anger.
Being one goal behind will not affect the morale of the German team for the time being.
The fifteen-minute intermission ended quickly.
Player tunnel.
Havertz gave Li Kang a hug excitedly.
We haven’t seen each other for more than a month, and he has a lot to say.
Boateng quickly reminded: "The world's cameras are focused on you, don't be like a little girl! We are representing the national team now!"
The Bayern centre-back has good intentions.
The German team is now lagging behind. Although the morale of the players and coaching staff has not been affected, the fans will definitely feel uncomfortable.
How can you be so close to your opponent?
If this game is lost, anything will become a reason for the fans to pour out their anger, and there will definitely be many questions and criticisms against Havertz.
This kind of pressure will affect the career growth of young players, and there is not so much "sane" Cross.
The competition between the national team and the friendship between the clubs must be restrained.
Havertz immediately calmed down and slowly let go of his hand.
Li Kang smiled.
He didn't expect that the showdown with his former teammates would come so quickly.
Tens of thousands of spectators returned to their seats.
Atlantic Stadium returned to buzz.
When the players stepped onto the green field again, fans from both sides were also competing for momentum.
"Good evening, viewers, welcome back!"
"The live broadcast for you now is the quarter-finals of the 2016 European Cup."
"The second half of Spain vs. Germany!"
"Bosque has not made any substitution adjustments for the time being."
"On Loew's side, Havertz replaced Gotze!"
"A very bold substitution!"
"This 17-year-old youngster is from Leverkusen and is a teammate of the same club as Li Kang!"
Studio.
The number of viewers has returned to its peak.
-
[If I hadn’t watched this year’s European Cup, I wouldn’t have known there was a club like Leverkusen in the world. 】
-
[I haven’t watched football in many years. This Havertz is very handsome. He is so tall and strong at the age of 17. Is he a center? 】
-
[Strong explosive power, fierce heading, good vision, high football IQ, and excellent skills, but he cannot play as a center. He is the perfect product of "position blurring" and is a versatile midfielder and frontcourt, unless there is Li Mingdeng behind him like the club does. 】
-
[Is Loew crazy, letting a 17-year-old with little experience play in the European Cup? 】
-
[Not necessarily, there is a group of big brothers from the German team leading him. Havertz said that he cannot be upgraded like Leonardo DiCaprio. 】
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.
The second half of the game officially begins.
Spain has the ball.
Casorla passed the ball back to Li Kang.
"We can see that the German team has increased the number of people pressing up front!"
"Loew's coaching team analyzed the weak passing points in Spain based on the first half of the game. Wow! Six players overwhelmed the opponent's half!"
"too crazy!"
"He has crazy confidence, and the back line is Boateng and Hummels!"
Duan Xuan and He Wei were stunned.
Why does it feel like I'm watching Bayern beat Barcelona in the 2012/13 season?
Snapped!
Li Kang touched the ball and passed it to Carvajal who came in from the wing.
Kimmich was closing in quickly.
The Real Madrid fullback could not find a suitable path for the ball. Even if he broke through, his teammates did not get out of the way.
He could only pass the ball to Iniesta, who came to support him.
at the same time.
Khedira "slowly" moved over.
The 32-year-old Iniesta is suffering from injuries and is far less powerful than before.
He is not afraid of being forced, but he is annoyed by being "clinged" by the opponent.
No sloppiness.
It's also a touch of the ball.
The moment Busquets received the ball, his vision was obscured by Muller's face!
Snapped!
Barcelona's midfielder made a half-turn, easily got rid of it, and passed the ball back to goalkeeper De Gea.
not far away.
Bastian Schweinsteiger is active in the area near Li Kang.
He didn't dare to get too close, for fear that after Li Kang caught the ball, he would bend down again and lower his center of gravity to pass him cleanly.
Fortunately, we are now familiar with each other's characteristics.
Iron Piggy is a man who can disgust Xavi and Messi.
Bastian Schweinsteiger is familiar with the "magic circles of love" and "dream dance steps".
"The German team's thinking is very clear."
"Limit these three points of 'Li Baibu' and force the ball to the Spanish team's backcourt! Make good use of mistakes at weak passing points!"
"Ordinary teams really can't do this because they don't have the right players."
"Look at the abilities of Khedira, Muller and Bastian Schweinsteiger."
"Well, it's more like Tian Ji's horse racing."
"Oops! Havertz almost intercepted the ball."
"It's okay, it's okay, De Gea is very stable, the main goalkeeper of the Premier League giants."
"The next thing the German team has to do: wait for Spain to make a passing error."
Time passed by minute by minute.
Spain's midfield and backcourt gradually made mistakes in passing and controlling the ball.
The ball was lost repeatedly.
Fortunately, there are many contact points in the midfield, and by relying on on-the-spot counterattacks, the ball can always be regained without any danger.
Busquets and Iniesta seem to have recalled the fear of being dominated by Bayern.
The time when "Habaibu" stepped down from the altar was exactly the beginning of the 7:0 bloodbath that year.
Under the high pressure of the German team, other teammates gradually found it difficult to maintain the stability of passing and receiving and the triangle movement.
Midfield control is declining.
It is difficult to stabilize the ball with Li Kang alone.
Atlantic Stadium.
Spanish fans gradually fell silent.
The German fans are getting more and more happy.
The 53rd minute of the game.
Khedira tripped Iniesta and intercepted the ball.
The German team's overall offensive formation exploded with an extremely shocking impact in an instant!
It's like a torrent of steel, crushing the matador's red cloth!
Beep!
The referee blew the whistle and gave a verbal warning to the German midfielder.
"Looking at it in slow motion, there is nothing wrong with this call. It is indeed a foul."
"It's terrible. If the Spanish team is really cut off from football, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Only the German team can pose a threat to them."
From God's perspective.
Li Kang observed that the German team's midfield and backcourt were disconnected. It was a physical disconnect in the spacing, not a stylistic disconnect in Spain.
But there was no chance to pass the ball to open up the defense.
Cazorla, Cork, and David Silva are not high-speed hot spots.
If you pass the ball forward, you will only lose the ball.
However, if a forward is replaced, the Spanish team's midfielder will lose a passing point, and the control will be reduced when facing the pressure of the German team.
It's a bit difficult.
Bastian Schweinsteiger also found it a bit difficult.
After several close encounters, he truly realized how terrifying Li Kang's physical condition was.
Much harder than Harvey!
He always touches the ball with his back or side, or while running.
Covers up the weakness of taking the ball forward.
This made the German midfielder feel a little disappointed and felt like he had become a little transparent.
'Is there a possibility that whether I stick to Li Kang or not, the result will be the same? '
Courtside.
Mignano worried: "Boss, should we replace Pique? The score is still ahead. It is safer to defend in the low post."
Bosque shook his head:
"If we give up the ball and defend low, the German team will have many advantages, including maximizing the energy consumption of our defensive players."
"Let Morata take off his vest!"
Mignano hesitated for a moment and asked: "Boss, if Morata plays, our midfield control will be better."
Del Bosque interrupted: "The connection between Lee and Morata can scare the German team!"
The old man's voice was very loud.
Morata excitedly took off his vest and walked out of the bench.
The other side.
Sorge quickly urged team members to take countermeasures.
Loew crossed his hands on his chest and said calmly: "According to the original plan, there is no need to reduce the number of pressing people. Morata's characteristics will not pose a threat to our defense line."
The 64th minute of the game.
The pass between Busquets and Iniesta was cut off again!
It was Kimmich who made the contribution!
With a winning heart.
The Bayern youngster blew the horn of attack.
Once again, a torrent of steel was set off, wildly devouring Spain's half!
There was a snap.
Contact between Kimmich and Mueller was also severed.
Li Kang made a flying tackle and knocked the ball out of bounds!
"It's so dangerous!"
"Li Kang's interception is crucial!"
"Oh? At this time, the referee signaled a substitution!"
"Diego Costa is on the sidelines!"
Sorge was a little confused.
Didn't you say it was Morata?
Why did you fall in love with Diego Costa?
Soon, the German coaching staff became busy again.
Loew frowned:
"No, that guy will pose a great threat to our defense."
“The connection between Lee and Diego Costa is terrifying.”
"Prepare to let Khedira retreat, wait! That's not right, Spain will replace a striker, and the midfielder will also lose a passing point."
A midfield master who can send long through balls from the backcourt.
A beast-like front-line killer.
It's a nightmare for all high-position defenses.
The German coach fell into a brief conflict. Looking at Li Kang's back, he felt increasingly confused.
'Why in this world, there are midfielders who put opponents in a dilemma. '
In world football, many people have quirks.
For example, Loew picked his nose and Suarez bit.
Diego Costa's situation is a little better: he likes to pluck other people's leg hair.
Alonso suffered greatly in the last World Cup.
"The replacement is David Silva!"
"Forward from Chelsea, Diego Costa comes on!"
"Spain's formation should become 4-5-1!"
Stands on all sides.
Applause was mixed with boos.
Which La Liga fan other than Atletico Madrid doesn’t hate Diego Costa?
The game resumes.
Kimisi throws a foul ball.
After Cross received the ball, he decisively sent a diagonal kick without too many redundant adjustments.
A scalpel-like trajectory cut into the Spanish team's half!
"The German team started a fast break."
"Pass like a cruise missile!"
Draxler stopped the ball in the rib area.
Taking advantage of the Spanish team's defensive line to shrink the distance.
Kick up suddenly!
Not a shot.
It's a pass.
The football lifted off the ground, drew an arc in mid-air, and plummeted into the Spanish penalty area!
Havertz has been waiting for a long time.
He is not good at grabbing points at this stage and cannot move ahead of Ramos to find shooting space.
But he has a strong ability to predict the situation, and he also predicts the path of the ball very accurately, and he has chosen the most comfortable position!
"It's too late!"
"Most of Spain's defensive attention this time is on Muller!"
"Haverts' position selection is great!"
"Header!"
Boom!
Havertz leaped high and bent his head to hit the target!
The football hit the upper left corner of the Spanish goal!
The German coaching staff couldn't help but celebrate in advance.
Mignano held his head in fear.
The hearts of fans from both sides were instantly occupied by their respective joys and sorrows.
Is another talented youngster about to shine in France?
In crisis.
A pair of platinum gloves blocked everyone's thoughts!
"God pounce!"
"De Gea's great move!"
"Bravo!"
"Why don't you fall to the ground to delay?"
"Hand throw! It's a counterattack!"
"Look for Li Kang!"
Havertz covered his forehead in surprise.
Before I had time to adjust my emotions, I saw the football passing overhead!
The audience didn't adjust their emotions either.
Spain, which was one goal ahead, didn't delay?
The camera moves at high speed following the trajectory of the football.
At the landing point.
Two figures were already standing.
Li Kang and Cross.
The ownership of the ball will determine the continuation of the two teams' offense.
Is it the German team's second attack?
Or is it Spain’s desperate counterattack?
There is no peak showdown that will amaze everyone with their skills and romance.
Spain's No. 6 leaned against Germany's No. 18.
Stop the ball with your chest.
From God's perspective, Schweinsteiger's approach was felt.
The football didn't shift in the slightest.
It fell quietly in front of him.
The shadow of "Bergkamp" is fleeting.
Li Kang raised his left foot and knocked his heel.
Kroos and Bastian Schweinsteiger looked horrified: the football slipped out under their noses!
"Fantastic!"
"He was actually able to find space to pass the ball when surrounded by two top German midfielders!"
"We found Cazorla who ran out of space!"
Arsenal's double-footed balance monster is not just a boast.
The ball goes to your feet.
Cazorla stretches his body.
Boom!
A large arc suddenly appeared in mid-air.
At the end of the trajectory is the German team's backcourt.
Germany's backcourt.
Boateng and Hummels are not so lonely.
Because beside them, there is a Spanish striker who can talk trash.
The vulgar and obscene content made the two of them blush and wanted to pick up the Chelsea striker and beat him up.
"It's time to get to work!"
Diego Costa stamped on the turf like a bull and rushed into the backcourt!
Boateng and Hummels are not too slow.
After the two completed their turns, they chased back!
"Bloodline is raging!"
"A thrilling scene!"
"Competition of strength and speed!"
The football fell to the turf and bounced high.
Diego Costa's shoulders on both sides were flanked by the German central defender!
Didn't fall to the ground.
He likes this kind of confrontation best.
Adjust your center of gravity and try your best again!
Hummels stumbled to the ground.
Boateng is in hot pursuit!
The instep of the Chelsea striker's right foot touched the ball first.
A sudden explosion.
Heading towards the German team's penalty area.
There's a lot of noise!
German fans tried to interfere by booing.
Spanish fans shouted excitedly.
"Single sword!"
"Boateng can't keep up, isn't he? He's about to be thrown away!"
"This opportunity is a sure thing for Diego Costa."
"Huh? Ter Stegen's attack was too timely!"
"Noel is possessed!"
Ter Stegen burst out of the penalty area and ran straight towards Diego Costa.
Boateng has helped me block the lob angle.
Next.
I'm about to prove it to everyone.
I'm no worse than Neuer!
Boom!
Diego Costa fell to the ground!
The football bounced into the backfield.
German team station.
Neuer clutched the quilt tightly, with a mixture of shock and anger: "Idiot, why don't you clear the ball out of bounds! Pay attention to Li's position!"
"A brilliant rescue!"
"Ter Stegen"
"Why?"
Along with the trajectory of football.
Spain's No. 6 jersey appears in the shot.
Impeccable approach to running.
The hearts of all German fans can't help but tighten.
Courtside.
Mignano was stunned.
Bosque looked shocked.
LeFou frowned.
Is he going to shoot?
That's more than forty meters away from the goal.
In Li Kang's field of vision, the shadow of No. 7 in red condensed in the wind.
He subconsciously imitated the shadow's movements.
The body is slightly tilted.
Swing your left leg slightly.
between behaviors.
It seemed like something was seeping crazily into his blood.
It’s a shooter’s instinct!
Hunting time!
The moment the ball touches the ball.
The shadow disappears.
At Atlantic Stadium, tens of thousands of people marveled, and they could no longer look away.
It was as if all the spotlights on the court were only shining on Li Kang.
Flawless shooting form.
There is no strong momentum to overcome the odds.
There was no terrifying explosion that filled the night sky.
The football rotates violently in mid-air, like a beautiful ribbon fluttering in the wind, like a breathtaking bright gem, like a brilliant rainbow leaping into the sky.
Ter Stegen raised his head, his face pale.
There was nothing he could do.
The German team could do nothing.
There is no force that can stop this goal.
The football seemed to have jumped over the vicissitudes of life, bounced heavily on the turf, and bounced lightly into the German team's goal.
2:0! ! !
Everyone's thoughts returned to reality in an instant.
"Wow! Beautiful!"
"The ball is in!"
"A super long-distance lob that astounds everyone!"
"Peerless elegance!"
"He is the brightest star in the French summer!"
"He created another great legendary moment!"
"Forty-five meters! A super long lob from 45 meters away from the goal! Incredible!"
“You can’t fault the height and angle!”
"Two goals!"
"Li Kang, an 18-year-old Spanish teenager from Leverkusen, broke the German team's goal twice!"
"Germany! His opponent is the last World Cup champion! Germany!"
“He wowed people in both countries!”
"He helped the Spanish team expand their lead!"
Duan Xuan grabbed He Wei's shoulders hard.
Hold it in, the more crazy lines will have to be saved for the semi-finals and finals.
Studio.
The audience was stunned.
-
[Trenching, that’s awesome! 】
-
[Li Mingdeng is so handsome! 】
-
[In this European Cup, how many goals does Li Kangde have to be selected for the Puska Award? 】
-
[The lob shot is not very rare, but the opponent is the German team. 】
-
[Ter Stegen had no chance to be teammates with Li Kang, so he sent an assist. 】
-
[Neuer escaped. 】
-
【What's going on? I obviously felt that the German team could equalize, but why did Spain score again? 】
-
[Li Mingdeng’s arsenal is so rich, it’s amazing! 】
-
[Why did Spain start Diego Costa? Wouldn't it be over if you fucked him earlier? 】
-
[The cup competition is different. The dialogue between strong teams is to play cards with each other while ensuring that the situation is basically intact. If Diego Costa is started, the German team may not be able to give these two chances to score. It will also be difficult for Spain to stabilize the situation. From a tactical level They spy on each other and engage in offensive and defensive games. If the score had been zero to zero, Del Bosque and Loew might have waited until more than 70 minutes before making substitutions. 】
Diego Costa pushed away Ter Stegen, quickly got up and ran towards Li Kang.
Under the night, Chelsea's striker smiled brightly, and his excitement was as if he had scored a goal himself.
"When did you master the lob shot?"
"I thought the ball was gone!"
Iniesta and Busquets looked at each other: Camp Nou seemed to be getting further and further away from its crown prince.
De Gea once again ran across half-time in excitement to join in the celebrations.
The Spanish fans calmed down and cheered excitedly.
"Lee!!!"
"Lee!!!"
"Lee!!!"
Ter Stegen sat on the turf and buried his head deeply in his knees.
He thinks he is no worse than Neuer.
Why did he concede two goals in a row in such an important game?
Why did I have to meet Li Kang?
Boateng sighed deeply and comforted: "There is no time to be sad. If it were Neuer, the ending would be similar."
German team station.
Neuer's expression was complicated.
He kept complaining about Ter Stegen's recklessness.
But feel a little lucky in your heart for no reason?
wrong!
If I were there, I definitely wouldn’t have lost so miserably!
Courtside.
Del Bosque and Mignano raised their fists high and cheered.
"Boss, aren't we going to replace Morata?"
"Really? What I have always said is Diego Costa, um... it's the same, as long as he can help Li create opportunities."
"Boss, the German team was the champion of the last World Cup! Does this mean we lifted the European Cup championship trophy with half a hand?"
"Cherish the present moment. In a few years, Li's teammates in the national team will have to change again."
The other side.
Loew rubbed his face, adjusted his mentality, and quickly urged several substitute players to warm up.
Sorge held a few pages of data reports blankly and muttered:
"It's impossible how that kid's shooting skills are so good."
Catalan Television.
Enrique seemed to have aged several years in an instant, feeling lost.
"Ter Stegen"
“There was nothing wrong with his attack, he just had bad luck.”
"Such a mistake."
"Well, one million euros"
VIP box.
The staff carefully covered the sleeping Cruyff with a blanket.
Beckenbauer smiled, shook his head, and walked away softly and slowly.
German football is not losing to Spain.
But lost.
The game continues.
The German team is very passive.
Under the premise of being two goals behind, there is no more choice but to fight!
The "hood" formation was reorganized again.
The four ball exit points were restored to their original state, like four wheels, and the German chariot roared towards the Spanish team's half.
pity.
The offense always misfires in the thirty-meter zone.
Only then did Bastian Schweinsteiger discover:
Li Kang's interception and defense when he doesn't have the ball is even more terrifying!
He is like a pulley, constantly moving laterally in front of the Spanish defense.
With the cooperation of his teammates, he can always appear in the most critical position at the most critical time to complete the rescue or destruction.
"Wonderful positional warfare game."
"His defensive positioning was deliberately slower than Busquets'."
"But the timing of the interception and steal was quicker than San Jose's."
"The defense of this Spanish team has been raised to a new level!"
"pretty!"
"Spain's counterattack!"
"The connection between Li Kang and Diego Costa!"
"What a risk, Boateng has made a great contribution!"
Studio.
-
[The German team is in a very difficult situation and is in a dilemma. 】
-
[Why is Spain more dangerous when passing and controlling than positional defense? 】
-
[Because from the beginning, the Spanish midfield and backcourt were "disjointed" in style. 】
-
[There are many changes in on-the-spot tactical adjustments during the game. 】
-
[Bosque's double insurance: He is afraid of repeating the same mistakes as Barcelona was bloodbathed by Bayern, and he is also afraid that the players on the defense will consume too much energy. However, with a two-goal lead and the end of the game approaching, the German team is not afraid of using changes in the offensive rhythm to consume. 】
-
[I feel that the whole team serves Leonardo DiCaprio, including replacing Diego Costa. 】
-
[After passing the German team, the next two games will be much easier. 】
finally.
Beep! Beep beep~
The referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Spain 2:0 Germany!
"The game is over!"
"Congratulations to Spain, congratulations to Li Kang! They have triumphed all the way and advanced to the semi-finals of the 2016 European Cup in France!"
"They sent Italy away, they sent away the German team."
"Let's think about it, at this moment, in Madrid, on the banks of the Manzanares River, in the Ronda Bullring, in the Balearic Islands, there must be countless Spanish fans rejoicing; and in Berlin, in Munich , in Hamburg and Cologne Cathedral, there must be countless German fans who are saddened by it."
"German players don't need to apologize to the fans at all, because they already won the Hercules Cup two years ago that many people can't match. Since ancient times, no team can always stand at the top!"
