Argentina's midfielders and frontcourt players quickly rushed through the center circle and spread out the pressing net.
The football is passed quickly between red jerseys.
"My footwork is so good."
"As I get older, my reflexes and physical resistance have declined significantly."
Iniesta was staggered by the collision and struggled to regain control of the football, passing it to Li Kang who came over to help.
Banega decisively pushed through.
The Argentine midfielder was so talented as a boy that he was once hailed as "Redondo's successor."
But his fame started off the court: this guy likes to shoot videos while eating fast food, which led to the leakage of "exercise" videos twice.
What's even more amazing is that although the male protagonist in the video keeps changing his fighting postures, the fighting lasts only three minutes.
...
"Banega is a man who dares to block a car with his feet."
"Can he stop Li Kang?"
"Well...it didn't block it."
Li Kang lowered his center of gravity, pulled left and dunked right, dribbled in a different direction, and easily got rid of Banega.
From God's perspective, Argentina's midfielder and frontcourt retreated wildly.
...
Sideline.
Bosque excitedly raised his hands in the command area, signaling his disciples to strengthen contact with the left wing.
The other side.
Sampaoli roared crazily and gestured to make the team speed up their return to defense.
As soon as the game started, the two head coaches were the first to enter into a fierce battle.
...
"Li Kang can pass the ball."
“If you don’t pass it on, choose to take it yourself!”
"Second acceleration, Tagliafico was eaten alive."
"Tagliafico didn't give up... his tenacious fighting spirit, he couldn't catch up."
"Mascherano, who is no longer at his peak, has a lot of experience facing Li Kang. He does not attack easily, but retreats to the area in front of the back line in advance..."
"Li Kang continues to sprint on the left."
"The young player Lo Celso wanted to block Li Kang's path to the inside. His posture was very elegant and he also grasped the defensive spacing well."
"I can't get stuck."
"Li Kang forcibly changed the line and knocked away Lo Celso!"
"Argentina's defenses shrank sharply."
"Watching Li Kang's violent breakthrough is simply a pleasure!"
At the Kazan Arena, cheers flooded the stadium like a tide.
The audience looked at Matador No. 6 riding alone and broke through the formation. They were excited and their adrenaline was soaring!
...
Li Kang dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
The Eye of Truth bursts forth.
In his eyes, Rojo's movements were too slow.
"Alba's quick advance and Morata's cross-running move opened up the gap between Argentina's two central defenders!"
"Hey! Li Kang didn't go to that gap!"
"Slow down, touch the ball to the left...take two steps away."
"Rojo had to follow."
"Wow! Li Kang's direction change speed is so terrifying! He created a bigger gap!"
"Cut inside!"
"Fake cum, real buckle!"
"He changed direction again and knocked down Lo Celso who was chasing after him!"
"The space on the left has been tricked again!"
"Still not passing the ball!"
"Enter the left side of the penalty area!"
"Li Kang area!"
"The ultimate single soldier!"
Fans all over the world are simply stunned at this moment!
Especially the audience who don't usually like to watch football can't help but sigh: How can football be played like this? One person disrupted the entire Argentine defense line upside down!
Maradona in the stands was so surprised that he crossed his arms and hugged himself.
Mignano prepares to celebrate early.
Sampaoli was terrified.
terrible.
...
Boom!
The heavy artillery close to the ground passed Caballero's armpit.
As a goalkeeper, Lao Ka has done an outstanding job: facing the constant small changes in the front end of the defense line from his club teammates, he can still find the most reasonable defensive position.
When everyone thought the Argentinian net was about to be lifted.
A bald figure appeared in front of the near goal post.
Mascherano almost "threw" himself out the moment Li Kang shot!
Split action.
Risking anal fissure.
The former midfielder blocked the ball with his right foot!
“Incredible!”
"God-level blocking!"
"A crucial rescue!"
"The football was blocked from the bottom line!"
"Corner kick!"
Li Kang staggered two steps and took out his thigh.
Mascherano quickly turned over and lay on his stomach on the turf, covering his butthole in pain.
After the referee learned about the injury, he quickly raised his hand to the sidelines and signaled the team doctor to come on.
Sideline.
Bosque applauded vigorously.
Sampaoli was extremely anxious, fearing that the defensive general in the lineup... would have another anal fissure.
...
Studio.
Barrage flying.
-【Xiao Li pulls the stall, Xiao Ma has an anal fissure.】
-【Awesome!】
-【Curious, what does an anal fissure feel like?】
-[Li Mingdeng is too fierce! Breaking the formation on his own! Breaking through violently and tearing down Argentina’s defense!]
-[Actually, this group of teammates also did a good job in pulling off offensive moves.]
-[Mascherano is very smart and knows that he is getting old, so he does not confront Li Kang head-on like he did back then.]
-[I am reminded of the 2014 World Cup semi-finals, when Ponyboy even had an anal fissure to block Robben’s shot in the penalty area!]
...
Two minutes later, the team doctor left the field.
Mascherano got up again.
The human body's self-healing ability is very strong, especially the parts that have been injured will become stronger.
Before the corner flag is taken.
He gave Li Kang a friendly pat on the butt in the penalty area.
After playing in the Chinese Super League for more than half of the season, Xiao Ma completely fell in love with the Eastern Kingdom. Whenever possible, he emphasized how great the Eastern Kingdom is on social media, and would also attach photos while browsing historical sites.
"Iniesta took a tactical corner kick."
"It's a bit too complicated."
"Morata was one step away from scoring... Otamendi's clearance!"
"The siege is not far away!"
"Higuain is very diligent and has a positive defensive attitude...stops the ball, turns around, and touches the outside of his instep."
"Find Di Maria!"
"Get up!"
"The wings of the Pampas eagle soar!"
Iniesta quickly blocked Higuain's position...preventing the counterattack from hitting the wall.
Alba used all her strength to rush back.
Pique, Ramos, and Carvajal temporarily switched to a three-centre-back configuration.
Busquets observed Messi's running tendencies: his mind was racing.
....
Di Maria took the ball a few meters and observed Messi's position.
Swing your thighs violently!
Snapped!
A sharp arc, like a sharp blade, passed over Alba's head on the way back to defense!
"pretty!"
"Fly over the center circle line!"
"Find Messi on the right!"
"It's a little difficult."
"Messi is fighting alone now."
"Higuain, Lo Celso, Rojo and others can't rush over so quickly!"
...
The 40-meter area of the Spanish half, on the right side.
Messi unloads the ball calmly.
Busquets did not immediately attack, but maintained a subtle distance from the opponent.
Increase spacing.
Shorten the spacing.
Resolutely don't take a step, and steadily control the center of gravity.
Slow down, slow down Messi, slow down Argentina's transition attack.
"The gaps are getting shorter and shorter."
"It's close to your body!"
"Beautiful! Messi turned around in one step!"
"It's over now!"
"Oh, passing the ball to Messi is like putting money in a bank and forgetting the password. It's too safe."
The Kazan Arena, which had been silent for a few minutes, started to boil again.
While people were still recalling Li Kang's violent demolition, Messi exploded again.
Busques was very upset. He was not knocked to the ground like Boateng. He even predicted that Messi would step back and push the ball, but he just couldn't keep up with Messi's pace!
...
"Messi!"
"Messi!"
"He rushed towards the Spanish defense line!"
"Messi Corridor!"
"The ultimate single soldier!"
Thirty meters area.
Messi pulled the ball past Ramos and got rid of him.
Rush inside!
Ramos was unfazed. It was not the first time that Messi had passed him. He stepped on the turf and quickly chased after him.
Curved offensive path VS diagonal defensive path.
Pique came to help with the defense.
"It's unbelievable! Ramos turned around and chased back, and the speed of the explosion was so fast!"
"Pick card position!"
"Two tall Spanish central defenders flank Messi at the same time!"
A burst of fierce fighting sounds came from the close-up sound recording equipment.
The three of them fell to the ground at the same time.
The football lost control and rolled forward slowly.
A surprising scene happened!
Messi got up and continued to dribble the ball forward!
Warm applause erupted from the stands on all sides!
Tens of thousands of spectators couldn't help shouting Messi's name!
"Cavajal!"
"The Real Madrid fullbacks moved to the center and became the last line of defense."
"Spanish fans don't have to panic, Carvajal's frontal defense is top-notch in the world, and he doesn't take advantage of any changes in his opponent's rhythm!"
"Wow!"
"Unparalleled cadence in the world!"
"Messi stepped on the ball three times in a row...after that, he used the simplest action to complete the breakthrough!"
“The great road leads to simplicity!”
"Hit the door!"
Snapped!
When Messi shoots in the penalty area, his leg swing is very, very small.
It feels like it's not exerting any force.
The blasted football is a perfect combination of power and curvature!
De Gea jumped in and during this time he was completely familiar with the Adidas game ball.
...
Spanish fans are devastated.
Argentinian fans were ecstatic.
Bosque was extremely nervous.
Sampaoli was very excited.
Bang!
The football hit the post hard... and flew out of the baseline.
Messi was stunned for a moment, leaned down on the turf depressedly, and rolled over.
"What a pity!"
"Since 2018, Messi has hit the crossbar and post 12 times!"
"In this World Cup, is his nickname going to change from the Catalan Blacksmith... to the Pampas Blacksmith?"
"If we count from September 2017, Messi has hit the crossbar and post 26 times in total! It doesn't matter, he is still the European Golden Boot!"
"As soon as the game started, Li Kang and Messi completed their peak dialogue on the offensive end."
"In today's football, passing, stopping and shooting... two players who are extremely strong."
Ramos and Pique looked at Messi helplessly.
Mascherano and other Argentine players looked at Li Kang helplessly.
...
Studio.
-[Li Kang VS Messi.]
-[Find the psychological shadow area of the defensive players on both sides.]
-[Two people rushed to start the game...and neither scored? My first half was 1/1.5 higher! That's cool!]
-【Wouldn’t it be better if I flush it a few more times?】
-[It won’t be so easy to rush next, both sides will do a good job of interception line placement, physical distribution, depth levels, formation rotation...]
-[Li Kang and Messi are about to switch fighting forms.]
...
The game resumes.
De Gea took the kick and passed it to Pique.
Di Maria quickly pressed forward.
Higuain pushed towards Ramos.
The duo's mission is simple: Don't allow Spain to easily build an attack from the back.
"Pique's skills with his feet are pretty good."
"Despite interference, I was still able to steadily find Li Kang in the midfield."
"It's different with Li Kang. Spain's midfielder and backfield don't need to switch to too complicated ball patterns."
"Sampaoli continued to increase the pressure. At this moment, six Argentine players rushed through the center circle."
...
The 40-meter area in the Spanish half.
After Li Kang caught the ball, he adjusted his body tendency.
A simple pull of the ball caused Banega, who was bullying him, to lose his center of gravity.
Banega was very strong, but he just didn't last long enough. He fell forward and instantly... struggled to get his foot out, but didn't touch the football, and the part of his calf to the knee hit Li Kang's knee.
Li Kang, who had not yet increased his speed, was tripped and fell to the ground.
Beep!
The referee blows the whistle.
Banega quickly helped Li Kang up and explained to the referee that he did not do it on purpose.
This is the World Cup, and the Argentine midfielder has tempered his fiery temper in the league.
"The referee did not take out the cards and gave a simple verbal warning."
"Have no idea."
"Banega was completely beaten by Li Kang in the duel. He couldn't defend himself in a one-on-one fight. He would foul passively even if he didn't want to foul..."
...
Iniesta takes a free kick in his own half.
Morata retreated, causing Argentina's defense to move forward...
Li Kang advanced in an arc, and Mascherano and Lo Celso quickly shortened the defensive distance in the middle.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The transposition of the legendary connection is Sampaoli’s main research topic before the game.
pity.
Football has no connection with Morata and Li Kang.
After Cork received the ball, his body tilted and moved in a wide range!
Snapped!
The football crashed into the left field!
Saul and Carvajal rush forward at high speed!
The moment the former stopped the ball.
The Real Madrid fullback quietly slowed down.
...
Sideline.
Bosque clenched his fists.
After 2014, he tried every means to make Spain no longer stick to the passing and controlling system.
the other side.
Sampaoli was furious and gesticulating wildly.
Cunning Spaniards.
He actually used the core as a feint attack point.
...
"One after the other."
"Li Kang attracted most of Argentina's defensive forces."
“There’s a lot of space on the wing!”
"Argentinian full-back Mercado pressed over."
"Saul slowed down his dribbling speed."
"What are you waiting for? These few seconds are enough for the Argentine players to defend..."
Spanish players do not seek misplaced advantages when attacking in position.
Saul is waiting.
Wait for the teammate on the other side to move forward.
Wait for the attack point to spread.
Carvajal went around Saul...
The cooperation between the Atletico Madrid youngster and the Real Madrid fullback was a partial two-on-one.
The moment when Carvajal and Mercado were parallel, they speeded up again!
Saul also sent a through ball at this moment.
Perfect pass and run advance!
The audience has not yet recovered.
The Real Madrid fullback had already received the ball near the baseline. Without any delay, Hao smoothly kicked off the ball and sent a cross!
...
Argentina's restricted area is in turmoil.
“The quality of the cross is very high!”
"When did Ramos come in?"
"He suppressed Mascherano, who was 1.74 meters tall, and jumped high into the air!"
"Defender with knife!"
"Header... ferry!"
"When did Iniesta come up?"
The football spot was at the twelve-yard mark.
Iniesta faced the interceptions of Otamendi and Rojo and had no chance to hit the goal.
After all, I am getting older, and I no longer have the confidence I had when I was a young boy wearing a bright dress and an angry horse.
Snapped!
Knock the ball back with your back heel.
Set up the cannon!
...
The audience followed the trajectory of the football and saw the black-haired figure in red No. 6.
Immediately afterwards.
A bald figure quickly appeared in sight.
"Li Kang's control radius is relatively large...his legs are long and he touches the ball first."
"Mascherano wants to shovel!"
Li Kang moved the ball with the instep of his left foot.
Mascherano retracts his move.
Li Kang moved the ball with the instep of his left foot.
Rhythm changes.
Dial, pause, dial again.
The game between the two only took place in an instant.
Mascherano decisively blocked his right foot's connecting shot.
Li Kang landed with his left foot.
Swing again.
Toes are buckled in.
Flirting.
Outer instep!
Boom!
The football lifts off the ground!
Mascherano looked confused and watched helplessly as a dark shadow passed over his shoulder, drawing a strange arc over Argentina and heading towards the far corner!
Caballero was stunned.
Everything happened too fast, and the line of sight was completely blocked by the chaotic crowd. The Argentine goalkeeper was unable to predict the path of the strange shot in advance.
