July 11th.
European Cup final.
The Eiffel Tower Fan Plaza is crowded with people.
A giant LED display stands at the bottom of the tower.
Countless tourists and neutral fans gathered.
Colorful flags fluttered.
The whole world is looking forward to the upcoming feast.
Located in the small town of Saint-Denis at the back of Paris, the Stade de France is a star-studded place.
The honor guard on the green field was ready to go.
Xavi held the Delaunay Cup and placed it on the pedestal at the exit of the players' tunnel.
16-year-old Karina Neuville played the accordion, and the melodious music floated over France.
Famous musician David Guetta walked onto the giant DJ booth temporarily built on the center circle line.
Under the background of rich and magnificent music.
The dancers on the green field spelled out the French word for "thank you": MERCI!
Immediately afterwards.
19-year-old Swedish female singer Sara Larsson appeared on stage wearing white clothes.
The theme song of this European Cup, "Fighting for You", resounded throughout the sky.
The only thing that ruined the beauty was the sky full of moths.
On the side of the court, the legendary referee Collina came to watch the game, and his suit was also covered with bugs.
Neutral stand.
Worrell couldn't help but sigh: "This scene reminds me of my youth."
Old Man Top said excitedly: "This ticket is so worth it!"
Dino quickly echoed: "Boss, if we are willing to go to the Spanish stands, it is free. Li has a lot of tickets for relatives and friends. Which team do you think will win this game?"
"I'm optimistic about Li!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo's knee is injured and he may not be able to continue playing."
"What's going on? Why are there so many moths here? It's like there is some kind of witchcraft summoning them here!"
"Oh! It's the migration period of moths now, and it's the spotlight that attracts them!"
Teacher Belenta raised the frame of his glasses: "Why do I feel like I'm missing someone?"
Close view of the stands.
The little assistant is making beats with the Spanish wives group!
Player tunnel.
Players from both sides were in no mood to experience a shocking music ceremony.
Ramos and Pepe hug each other.
Diego Costa looked at the two men maliciously.
You know, when he was playing for Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid's two super central defenders received consecutive yellow cards in just one half.
Pique noticed that the camera was pointed at him and immediately pointed his two fingers towards his eyes.
Saul is a little nervous, after all, he is not familiar with most of the Portuguese players.
Regardless of strength, humans will always have fear of the unknown.
Iniesta patted the Atletico Madrid youngster on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, just like playing in the league."
The little caddies were pushed into the corner by the crowd coming and going.
The queues on both sides were quickly lined up.
Ronaldo and Li Kang stood parallel to each other, very close to each other.
His face was stern and he stared straight ahead.
The two did not greet each other.
Each carries the expectations of countless people.
The waiting time for admission was long, and I inadvertently remembered every detail of the draw ceremony last season.
Ronaldo's expression relaxed slightly and he patted the other party's shoulder subconsciously.
Li Kang smiled.
The camera moved over at the right moment.
Ronaldo immediately retracted his hand and returned to his cold expression.
Until the referee team came to the front row.
The players from both sides were separated.
The system prompt sounded quietly.
[National team main mission reminder: Conquer Europa! 】
[Mission Introduction: You have finally made it here. It has been a difficult journey. It is too simple. Let the whole world witness you lifting the Delaunay Cup! 】
【mission rewards:? ? ? 】
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"
"Viewers tuned in to watch the 2016 European Cup final!"
"Spain vs. Portugal!"
"A showdown that attracts worldwide attention!"
"Tonight, no one is destined to sleep!"
"No matter which team wins, it will make history!"
"Who is the King of the Iberian Peninsula? Let's wait and see!"
"I am the commentator for this game, Duan Xuan!"
"I'm He Wei!"
The referee team led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.
The Stade de France erupted into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami, instantly drowning out the passionate European Cup theme song.
When Li Kang passed by the shining silver Delaunay Cup, he couldn't help but slow down.
For a moment, he seemed to understand the meaning of professional players fighting one after another.
"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides!"
"Spain's formation is 4-2-3-1!"
"Goalkeeper: De Gea!"
"Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, Pique, Juanfran!"
"Double defensive midfielders: Li Kang, Saul!"
"Central midfielder: Cazorla, Iniesta, David Silva!"
"Forward: Diego Costa!"
Studio.
The number of viewers reached the highest peak of this European Cup.
-
[Why did Spain send Pique? This guy is really good, but he can get distracted in any game. 】
-
[Don’t worry, he won’t be distracted when facing Ronaldo. 】
-
[Nonsense, he is the one who has been beaten up by Phnom Penh Luo the most times. 】
-
[San Jose has an old injury! There is no way, the most stable among the remaining substitute defenders is Pique. 】
-
[Li Mingdeng is awesome. If he wins the Delaunay Cup as the core midfielder at the age of 18, he will definitely go down in history! 】
-
[I hope that Leo will not experience the pain of the Champions League semi-finals this time like the club did. I never want to experience that feeling again. 】
-
[Don’t worry, the strength of the two teams is very different. 】
"Portugal's formation is 4-1-3-2!"
"Goalkeeper: Patricio!"
"Defenders: Cedric, Pepe, Font, Guerrero!"
"Single defensive midfielder: William Carvalho!"
"Central Midfielder: Renato Sanchez, Adrian Silva, Joao Mario!"
"Forwards: Nani, Ronaldo!"
-
[Why are there so many little black eggs in Portugal? 】
-
[Dare to play the defensive midfielder? Aren't you afraid of being blown away? 】
-
[Except for Ronaldo and Nani, I don’t know any of the other players. How can they play against the luxurious Armada? 】
-
[Don’t underestimate Portugal. This is a team based on the Portuguese Super League giant Sporting Lisbon. It is very stable on both ends of the offense and defense. Isn’t it abusing the club to play the national team? 】
-
[Understood, this game is Sporting Lisbon VS Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City! 】
-
[Football is round, don’t be too happy too soon, as long as Ronaldo is here, it will not be so easy to lose! 】
-
[When Portugal’s new generation grows up in two years, Spain will not be its opponent. 】
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.
The European Cup final has officially begun.
Nani returned the kick to William Carvalho.
He has long lost the courage he once had.
When he was young, he was called the successor of Ronaldo and the Dark King of Manchester United. As the main winger, he scored zero goals and zero assists in one season.
"Oops! William Carvalho made a mistake, the ball didn't stop properly!"
"Fortunately, Pepe controlled the ball in time."
Before Diego Costa rushes forward.
Pepe then distributed the ball to Cedric on the wing.
The Chelsea striker did not immediately retreat, but smiled at the monk.
Every time two people meet, there will always be a story.
Elbows, kicks, nose blowing
They are so familiar with each other that even a smile can be interpreted as sarcastic.
Pepe suppressed her anger.
No fouls, no cards.
This is the final stage!
I am fighting for the honor of Portugal!
Cedric carried the ball a certain distance and passed it to Sanchez.
Not Arsenal’s Sanchez, but Benfica’s Sanchez.
Little Black Dan has dirty braids and is only 19 years old.
Before Li Kang was born, he was the most watched supernova in Europe and a candidate for the Golden Boy Award.
Courtside.
Mignano exclaimed: "Look at that kid's stoppage, he's so smart! He's also very fast! He deserves to be called Ronaldo's successor."
Del Bosque nodded appreciatively: "Well, his only flaw may be physical confrontation."
There was no tense atmosphere at all.
On the Spanish bench, Morata, Isco, Koke and others are all young and famous super talents. Their limelight in the past is far better than the little pigtails on the court.
The other side.
Coach Santos stood in the command area waving his hands excitedly.
Portugal's tactics are simple.
The advancement from the wing is mainly accomplished by Sanchez!
"Portugal has sounded the clarion call to attack!"
“The process of advancing down the wing went smoothly!”
"Spain's pressing is not strong enough, we can't let Sanchez pass!"
"Danger!"
"The super genius from Benfica not only broke Cristiano Ronaldo's record of being the youngest to play! He also won the best MVP in consecutive games against Croatia and Poland!"
"The future is bright. Oops! Lost the ball!"
At the Stade de France, the cheers returned.
Sanchez was forced out of bounds by a figure.
The football is stuck at the feet of Spain's No. 6.
The audience was surprised: Is this the Portuguese genius? Why is he so much weaker than Kimmich and Mbappe?
Li Kang didn't think much.
God's perspective has long grasped the movements of teammates in the frontcourt!
Snapped!
The football drew a graceful arc in mid-air.
"This long pass is a bit random. No matter how dazzling a talent is, he will inevitably be a little nervous when he participates in the finals for the first time!"
Everyone was stunned by the parabola on the green field.
Too deadly.
As if cutting a cake, Portugal's midfield defense line was easily torn apart!
“The view is so broad!”
"Like a cruise missile!"
"A long ball with great strategic significance!"
"The Portuguese frontcourt players had no time to return to defense!"
"Accurately found Diego Costa in the frontcourt!"
"Li Ke is connected!"
In the stands.
Worrell led the applause.
Dino said in surprise: "Boss, it's easy to lose the ball with a long pass like Li's."
Old Man Top quickly interrupted: "Do you think the Spanish national team is Leverkusen?"
"Let me be the head coach of this Spanish team and we can win the championship!"
The Chelsea striker is competing with Carvalho!
A little black egg from Sporting Lisbon.
There is no suspenseful confrontation.
No need to make any small moves.
Carvalho was carried by Diego Costa!
"Nice boob stop!"
"No foul!"
"It was given to David Silva who came forward!"
"A very effective fulcrum. Diego Costa played like a traditional center in this game!"
"Oh, Fonte thinks too much, how can he lose his position!"
David Silva is not fast.
While stopping the ball,
Adrian and Joao Mario double-teamed over at the same time.
It's still a crushing matchup.
Don't call him a "slow version of Messi".
If you ask Messi from the Barcelona youth team to come over, you can break out of the siege!
"no problem."
"Nice puck!"
"Magician of local small spaces!"
I saw the Manchester City midfielder flicking around, not only getting rid of the opponent's double-team, but also attracting Guerrero and Fonte!
in the crowd.
It was like a cold light lit up!
David Silva didn't break through the siege, his pass broke through the siege!
Juanfran, who came forward with support, suddenly burst out!
Explode after catching the ball!
There is a vacuum in front of you!
Coach Santos' eyes were dull: David Silva, whose performance in the previous few games was mediocre, why couldn't four people stop him?
The audience was stunned.
When Spain beats Portugal, is the strength gap that big?
Li Kang hasn't participated in the frontcourt offense yet?
The cooperation between the Chelsea forward, the Manchester City midfielder and the Atletico Madrid full-back penetrated Portugal's defense?
Are you kidding me?
This is the European Cup final!
Outside the penalty area.
Pepe's super defense can only be displayed on the premise that his teammates do not lose their position.
How to fill in such a big hole?
It's very uncomfortable.
And Cazorla and Iniesta opened up the offensive width!
He had no choice but to kill the Atletico Madrid full-back fiercely!
Juanfran is not a rookie, he has rare characteristics.
As an excellent product of Real Madrid's youth training, he has a very fast ball speed.
Even the more difficult long ball can be sent out in a very short time!
Pepe suddenly stopped in the middle of the fight and watched the football pass overhead!
"Wonderful!"
"Diego Costa!"
"Face goalkeeper Patricio directly! That is a super goalkeeper that makes Bale sigh!"
"pretty!"
"The goal went in!"
Boom!
Diego Costa volleyed!
The football spun violently and roared into the Portuguese team's door!
1:0! ! !
All of a sudden.
All Portuguese fans cannot accept this fact.
How long has it been since it started?
We have a group of main players from the Portuguese Super League club Sporting Lisbon, how could we be scored so easily!
The Spanish No. 6 has not yet participated in the frontcourt attack.
