The club winners of this year's international competitions are not just Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
And Arsenal!
Sanchez, Centenary Copa America Champion.
Cazorla, Giroud, Koscielny, Ramsey and others represented their respective national teams and reached the semi-finals of the European Cup.
Indirect proof: Wenger's vision... and how terrible Arsenal players are when they are not injured.
However, the European sports media did not seem to notice this.
Instead, they frantically exaggerated the fiery atmosphere before the game.
The mainstream view is that the Spanish team has experienced fierce battles with Italy and Germany and is likely to fall at the feet of the host France.
...
The Velodrome Stadium looks like a giant white ball when viewed from a high-altitude camera.
Wenger and Zidane appear together.
Media reporters surrounded the passage.
The security personnel worked hard to escort the two people out of the encirclement as if they were in a war.
"Mr. Wenger, which team do you prefer to advance to the final?"
French fans and media like Wenger very much and have wanted him to take charge of the national team many years ago.
Wenger thought for a moment and did not answer immediately.
He has made many jokes in this European Cup, such as cleverly using Desailly as a "bunker" to avoid the water column, and mistaking the Croatian team doctor for Paris Saint-Germain's slow new coach Emery.
"This will be a very interesting game. Deschamps must take measures to limit Li, but other Spanish offensive players are also very good. If you are not careful, Cazorla, David Silva, and Iniesta will
It will pose a fatal threat to the French team."
"Our boys in the French team are very young and energetic. I think they are the favorite candidates to win the 2018 World Cup."
The reporters didn't get the answers they wanted.
They all moved the microphone to the Real Madrid coach.
"Who do you think is better, Pogba or Lee..."
Zidane interrupted without thinking: "Lee!"
....
Marseille is France's third largest city and largest trade gateway.
This ancient city with a history of 2,500 years is surrounded by hills on three sides, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate.
Two red buses slowly drove into the Velodrome Stadium.
Spanish fans on both sides of the road were running and shouting the names of their stars.
Morata and Insko opened the curtains and waved enthusiastically to the supporters.
Iniesta expressed concern: "Li, this French team is different from the past. Their defensive moves are relatively large and they are also very good at irritating their opponents. No matter what happens, you must stay calm."
"Especially Payet, he comes from West Ham United and shined in the Premier League last season, but his methods are a bit..."
Cazorla added: "What we are facing is not just a purely technical and tactical competition. They have the advantage of being the host. Don't worry, we will help you reduce the pressure."
Li Kang nodded.
So far in this European Cup, in terms of the number of fouls and red and yellow cards, Italy is the dirtiest, followed by Hungary, but these data do not represent everything, just like Diego Costa, who has played both in La Liga and the Premier League.
He is very good at avoiding the referee's sight and always allows the opponent's defender to get cards.
.....
Half an hour later.
Pre-match press conference.
Del Bosque and Deschamps look more like a pair of close old friends.
Qualifiers two years ago.
Deschamps led the French team to break the eight-year spell of not beating Spain.
"We are not only witnessing the renaissance of Spain, but also the renaissance of the French team."
"The French team has not been able to win the championship trophy for too many years."
There was thunderous applause.
Looking at the past few competitions, the French team has an extremely luxurious lineup on paper, but it is always destroyed by internal strife.
Players and coaching staff insult each other, teammates compete for bus seats, collective strike, racial discrimination in the locker room, video incident...
After Deschamps took over, the locker room was "slightly" less chaotic.
The most annoying thing right now is the players’ families: Rabiot’s mother, Pogba’s brother, Mbappe’s father.
The French coaching staff wishes these talented players were orphans.
...
Player tunnel.
After shaking hands and hugging, Giroud and Cazorla greeted Li Kang warmly.
During the Champions League round of 16, the Arsenal center was embarrassed by Li Kang's circling.
Umtiti looked at this scene with disdain.
He had the opportunity to loan to Bayer Leverkusen in the winter window of last season, but he did not feel any regrets because he was about to join Barcelona.
A wealthy club with a rich heritage like Barcelona is the dream I pursue.
suddenly.
When he saw Busquets and Iniesta, he immediately put on a polite smile and greeted them cordially.
The end of the queue.
Koscielny patted Mbappe on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, cherish this opportunity. Your most important task is to feel the atmosphere of the competition, and don't be too attached to the ball."
Mbappe said nothing and looked at the back of Spain's No. 6 with excitement.
Pogba's mohawk was dyed pink today and he wore a pair of pink sneakers.
"Watch that boy for me."
"Kante, just pass the ball to me."
Kanter nodded shyly.
.....
"ctv5!ctv5! Good evening, viewers!"
"The live broadcast for you now is the semi-finals of the 2016 European Cup in France!"
"Spain versus host France!"
"The final battle in the dead half zone!"
"Can the French continue their great tradition of winning championships when hosting events in their home country?"
"Will the Spanish Armada sing a triumphant song in the Battle of Marseille?"
"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 Velodrome stadium instantly erupted into cheers like a landslide and tsunami.
The mascot "Super Victor" shook hands with Li Kang excitedly.
The system prompts sounded like crazy.
[The performance index of this European Cup has been reached and the event mascot can be bound!]
[Attempting to bind...]
[Ding, this totem is too powerful and cannot be bound.]
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [Ding, this totem is too powerful and cannot be bound.]
[Ding, this totem is too powerful and cannot be bound.]
Li Kang: "..."
Victor's setting is: a flying superman...
[Task trigger: Fear of France!]
[Task introduction: It’s been a long time since you played football without using your brain, so enjoy this game!]
[Mission reward: European Tour·Dark Gold Treasure Chest!]
Diego Costa patted the butt of the mascot doll and said with a smile: "You look like Maguire from Hull City."
....
"The following introduces you to the lineups of both sides."
"The formation formed by Spain is 4-3-3!"
"Goalkeeper: De Gea!"
"Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, San Jose, Juanfran!"
"Midfielder: Li Kang, Saul, Iniesta!"
"Forwards: David Silva, Diego Costa, Cazorla!"
Studio.
The number of viewers is increasing.
-[In actual games, the formation will become 4-5-1.]
-[What's going on? Spain doesn't have the "ball-blind filter" Busquets?]
-[Saul is very strong, his defensive sweep is awesome, and his offensive end is also explosive.]
- [If you don’t understand Del Bosque’s thoughts, how can you use Diego Costa? He doesn’t fit into the passing and controlling system.]
....
"The French team's formation is 4-2-3-1!"
"Goalkeeper: Lori."
"Defenders: Sagna, Umtiti, Koscielny, Evra."
"Double defensive midfielders: Matuyindi, Kante!"
"Central midfielder: Payet, Pogba, Mbappe!"
"Forward: Giroud!"
-[France? That’s right? This is a national team in Africa, right?]
-[Three farmers with eight black...]
-[The entire lineup of the French team is also awesome, young and energetic!]
-【Is Evra still playing? He is 35 years old and I am a Manchester United legend!】
-[Haha, that kid looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!]
-[Don’t look at their weird looks, the French team is very strong this year, and there are a bunch of monsters on the bench. I predict that Li Mingdeng will have a very difficult time in this game.]
-[Kante and Matuyindi’s interception and sweep are very abnormal. Spain will seek stability and play according to Barcelona’s style...slowly looking for opportunities.]
-[Hearing what you said, I was so scared that I bought Spain 3:0 France.]
- [You are so cold, just wash your feet less often. The key battles will not be aggressive, and stability is the way to go.]
.....
The side-guessing session is over.
Players from both sides take their respective positions on the field.
Paye looked at Li Kang's figure, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made an important decision.
Along with the referee's whistle!
The game officially begins!
Spanish possession.
Diego Costa returned the kick to Li Kang.
Cazorla and David Silva moved forward quickly.
Including Carvajal and Juanfran.
The French team's frontcourt press hasn't started yet...
With Li Kang's touch of the ball.
Spain played an extremely terrifying passing and cutting fast break in an instant!
"Li Kang touched the ball and made a long pass like a cruise missile! He found Juanfran who rushed into the French half!"
"Spain has four attacking points in the frontcourt at this time, no, five...or no, six! Seven! Eight!"
"too crazy!"
"Wow! The passing and cutting cooperation is as fast as mercury!"
....
Juanfran made a pass and easily crushed the little black egg who tried to block him. What's his name... Mbappe, right? His interception ability is too young!
It was exactly the same as the scene in training, when the Atletico Madrid fullback dribbled the ball to the 40-meter area.
Juanfran ignored the menacing Sagna and calmly knocked the ball horizontally to Cazorla who came over to help.
In an instant.
The Arsenal midfield magician set off a magnificent passing storm!
All the Spanish midfielders and frontcourt players ran a dazzling trajectory.
The football dances lightly among the red clothes.
It seems that all of Europe...the magicians with the most superb passing and control skills have gathered in the Spanish lineup, and they can find the most perfect route for the ball with their eyes closed.
"Football seems to be endowed with magic!"
“So smart and elegant!”
"The cook eats the ox!"
"The French team had no time to shorten the defensive distance. For them, the scene was too chaotic!"
....
Carvajal cuts diagonally into the middle.
David Silva was dragged at the back of the offensive formation. Although his speed was slow, his ability to get the ball and touch the ball left the French midfielder helpless.
Saul moved from the defensive midfielder position to the forward position!
Diego Costa is having a lively chat with his "old friend" Koscielny.
Football is like a naughty super Maguire, provoking the French team's defense!
Sometimes the short pass penetrates, sometimes it leaps to the sky!
No holds barred!
One touch of the ball!
Hit the wall and cooperate!
It is densely intertwined with transmission lines, as if there are countless sharp knives cutting it!
The one holding the sword is Li Kang again!
Despite the interference of several French players, he was still able to stand firm. With his extremely elegant stoppage, he repeatedly sent crucial transition passes!
In the field of vision, Bergkamp's shadow lingered for a long time.
The French team's defense is shaky!
"oops!"
"Giroud, Payet, Mbappe... these three people can't affect Li Kang!"
"Pogba quickly goes back and joins the defense!"
.....
The audience was stunned!
In the stands.
The fans nearby turned to look at Wenger, not daring to stay for too long, and turned to look at the green field.
Wenger raised his hands in confusion: "Lee is very suitable for Arsenal...I don't know what's going on."
Zidane smiled and shook his head.
...
Matuyindi is very calm.
He didn't dare to lose his position and make a grab, let alone try to cut off Spain's passing connection in a sports battle.
No matter how fast he runs, he can't pass the ball as fast as these magicians.
The most correct approach is to retreat to protect the defense line. Stop trying to follow Li Kang!
Kanter is different.
He hadn't yet figured it out at this historical period. He roughly predicted Spain's passing route and quickly rushed towards Li Kang!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh, the defensive ideas of the French team's two defensive midfielders didn't come together!"
"The gap is available!"
"Huh? Spain's attack has slowed down!"
....
Li Kang just received a reply from Saul.
A short black shadow came out.
Really a dark shadow.
Kanter's timing to steal the ball was extremely precise.
Shy off the field, confident on the field, this is the steal king of the five major leagues who created the legend of Leicester City!
at the same time.
Payet excitedly attacked the Spanish No. 6 from behind!
The focus of attention is not on the football, but on Li Kang’s calf!
Do you know how much effort I have put in to stand on the stage of the European Cup?
He was kicked out of youth training at the age of 15.
29 years old, a late bloomer.
From clothing salesperson to French hero.
You, a monster from La Masia, will never know the bitterness you have experienced along the way!
No one can stop my dream!
...
The scene that happened next.
Kanter was a little confused.
My right foot was knocked out!
He watched helplessly as Li Kang flicked the ball with his left foot...and Payet's knee pressed hard against the Spanish genius' supporting leg.
He couldn't help but vaguely remember what Paye said to himself in the tactical meeting a few days ago...
Bang.
A scream sounded in my ears.
But how could Li Kang in front of him send an exquisite long pass as if nothing had happened!
Why?
It turned out to be Payet howling!
There was no time to be in a daze, Kanter quickly called Mbappe who came back to defend, and together they continued to restrict Li Kang!
....
"Hey! Paye fell to the ground."
"Li Kang didn't do anything!"
"It is impossible to stop the game at this time!"
"pretty!"
"The pass suddenly turned into a long pass!"
French restricted area!
Diego Costa adjusted a few steps and got past Koscielny.
As the most hated "dirty forward" by Arsenal fans, he did not resort to any tricks this time!
The football plummeted.
Chelsea's striker headed the ball!
Snapped!
Boom!
Two touches!
The director's close-up shot almost failed to keep up with the rhythm!
The football has rolled into the left side of the French team's penalty area!
Cazorla bent over, like a little loach burrowing into a dangerous zone that was difficult to speak.
Raise your left foot slightly to prepare for shooting.
Lori is very calm. As Tottenham's main goalkeeper, he has experience in having to be passed and cut by Arsenal.
He is not easily...
Snapped!
The football did not fly straight to the French team's door, but was swept to the right!
Saul fell to the ground and shot!
Boom!
The door frame shook violently!
"Ouch! The pillar!"
"The Atletico Madrid youngster is so unlucky!"
"It's harder not to score than to score!"
"two points!"
"Li Kang!"
The directorial footage almost couldn’t keep up with Spain’s fast break!
Quickly switch lenses.
The audience couldn't help but hold their breath...they saw an extremely wonderful scene.
Li Kang's figure is fierce, with two small black eggs hanging on his waist!
The football landed outside the penalty area, exactly where the three of them were!
In the field of vision, Ronaldini's shadow suddenly appeared!
Boom!
The football lifted off the ground and spun violently.
An extremely weird arc was outlined above the penalty area!
