Although Belgium has the advantage on the field, it is difficult to break through Spain's gate because the offensive chain is too single.
"It is not easy to realize your talent in the World Cup."
“Super luxurious lineup.”
"A lot of players have made sacrifices."
"For example, De Bruyne played the role of 'Free 8' in the frontcourt at Wolfsburg and Manchester City, but when he returned to the national team, his defensive tasks were particularly heavy and he had to retreat to the back line several times."
"Toby had a dispute with Courtois again. This is not the first time this phenomenon has occurred. When we played against Panama in the group stage..."
"Belgium's defensive shortcomings are not caused by personal problems."
...
The end of the first half.
Martinez finally changed his formation.
His on-the-spot command ability is very rare among national team coaches, and is rarely strong.
De Bruyne is not allowed to continue to play the role of engineer.
The 4-2-3-1 formation was converted into a 4-3-3.
Hazard gets up front.
Lukaku La Bian.
Fellaini and Dembele rotate positions.
De Bruyne transforms into a center forward.
That’s right, even cartoons wouldn’t dare to make it up like this and let De Bruyne play center!
"Martinez is more Guardiola than Guardiola!"
"Dembele holds the ball in the middle."
"Spain, imprisoned by the shortcomings of No. 9 and a half, can only defend low and cannot form an overall pressure in the frontcourt."
"De Bruyne, in his No. 9 form, suddenly retreated and pulled away the opponent's low defense."
"Dembele did not pass the ball to De Bruyne, but gave it to Lukaku on the right!"
"Lukaku held Thiago with his back, caught the ball, and knocked back!"
"Find De Bruyne!"
"Nice arc!"
"Aren't you looking for Azar?"
Hazard had no intention of catching the ball. He completed the diagonal movement in advance, taking Carvajal and Saul inside.
Witsel drives forward at high speed!
Become a left winger!
Show up in the open area, dump the ball, and adjust.
Sideline.
Martinez was so excited that his cheeks turned red.
space.
With the individual talents of the frontcourt stars, the offensive space can be discovered and utilized.
...
at the same time.
The ubiquitous Lukaku, after completing his back-up move, immediately turned around and pushed forward. At this moment, he appeared in the perfect post-passing position. This 200-pound black fat man has excellent defensive line reading and movement abilities.
!
It was difficult for Spain's defense to cover up the flaws in an instant.
Witsel hesitated for a few tenths of a second.
No cross!
Instead, it was passed to De Bruyne, who was in a worse position but was more reliable!
When De Bruyne saw the football rolling toward him, he almost stamped his feet in anger...
no way.
Under the interference of Saul and Thiago, he could only receive the ball and take it to the outside of the penalty area.
"What does it mean?"
"Hazard took the inside route and took Carvajal away."
"Witsel had such good space and angles and actually passed the ball to De Bruyne?"
"As a result, De Bruyne was forced to the outside when receiving the ball..."
"To put it simply, Witsel wasted the opportunity to make a fatal pass and forced himself and De Bruyne to rotate and change positions. At this moment, De Bruyne no longer had the opportunity to make a fatal pass."
"No matter how excellent the tactical adjustment is, it is difficult to make a qualitative change in Belgium's offense."
"It's hard to create a varied offensive chain..."
"Beautiful, Ramos completed the final defense and successfully stole the ball!"
The moment the football was poked away.
De Bruyne jumped on the spot, slapping his thighs with his hands as he jumped.
...
Sideline.
Mignano was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
It's so thrilling.
The defense line was almost destroyed.
The other side.
Martinez crushed the mineral water bottle depressedly.
The effect of the tactical adjustment is very good, but the offensive ideas are not unified!
wrong.
The defensive thinking is also inconsistent.
...
Ramos passes the ball to Thiago.
Bayern's midfielder sent a long-distance through ball and found Li Kang who rushed to the center circle.
No. 9 and a half has as many flaws as it does on the defensive end, and as many advantages as it does on the offensive end.
"The first touch of the ball was so beautiful."
"Historic level of ball control accuracy."
"Connect and turn around, one button."
"Excellent."
"Easy to get rid of Fellaini."
"move forward!"
Samara Arena, the audience cheered.
Finally saw Li Kang get the ball.
After Messi was eliminated, only Hazard, Neymar, and Li Kang were the only players in the World Cup who could bring the ultimate dribbling enjoyment to the audience.
Not Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Maradona, Baggio in the blurry video.
But witness the legend with your own eyes!
...
The camera moves to the Belgian half.
The European Red Devils' frontcourt retreated wildly, but it was too late.
Spain's rapid advance to provide support was too late.
Li Kang one against three.
Change direction and speed up to get rid of Shazli.
Fried meatballs over Kompany.
All the spectators could not help but hold their breath as they watched Li Kang getting closer and closer to the goal.
finally.
Li Kang paused at the top of the penalty area and faced off against Toby.
Get up and knock on the door.
Boom!
The arc heavy artillery can hit the blind spot.
Courtois flew hard but couldn't reach anything.
Football is taking over the nets again.
2:0!!!
"Two goals!"
"The Matador Legion, which was losing ground, relied on Li Kang's personal ability to expand its lead!"
"Li Kang's dribbling attack is the most unique scenery in this World Cup."
"Too strong."
"An elegant touch."
"Domineering control radius."
"Horrifying physical confrontation."
"Unpredictable attack style."
"..."
Courtois got up and instead of blaming his teammates, he kicked the goal post hard.
The Belgian players slowed down their pursuit and looked helplessly at Li Kang's back.
The bright and talented stars suddenly felt a trace of self-doubt.
...
Studio.
-【So handsome.】
-【Interpretation of the charm of football.】
-[Isn’t Spain beaten by pressure? How could it still score two goals? 】
-[Belgium always has problems in the last part of its offense, either jerking off or making blind passes.]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! - [Vertonghen has participated in the attack, leaving Shazli, Kompany, and Toby in the high defense line with three guys who have different defensive ideas.]
-[Even the forwards from Panama can threaten Belgium's defense. Li Mingdeng is one on three, which is understandable. I think Neymar can also do this when he comes over!]
-[Brothers who are optimistic about Belgium, don’t panic and believe in the European Red Devils’ reversal ability.]
-[Yes, it is very likely that the script is exactly the same as the Japanese team, leading by two goals and finally being eliminated with a decisive victory!]
-[In this first half, Spain took Li Kang's personal advantage to the extreme. Li Mingdeng, who does not need to defend in depth, is a super weapon.]
....
Li Kang had never thought that this explosion would be so simple.
Belgium's high defensive line and defensive thinking are too confusing.
Shazli thoughtlessly forced him to the outside, and Kompany showed amazing football intelligence... He wanted to maintain depth, which made Toby hesitate for a while.
The other party can obviously fight in a group, but they take turns to send them off one by one.
...
Spanish teammates gathered around and lifted Li Kang high.
The intensive spotlight flashed again.
Outside the camera, De Gea faced the stands, raised his arms and shouted.
He thought the nights in Samara were very hot.
Body heat.
My heart is also warm.
To be able to make a defensive contribution and win the game...it's such a great feeling.
...
Sideline.
Mignano high-fived the players on the bench in celebration.
Bosque patted his big belly cheerfully.
"This game was tough, but Lee made it easy!"
The other side.
Martinez looked confused.
Crazy review in my mind... can this be two goals behind?
.....
The next competition became more and more intense.
The unruly Belgian geniuses quickly adjusted their mentality.
Continue to launch a violent attack.
But the high defensive line did not dare to push too far forward, because Spain left Li Kang at the front of the formation, and even replaced Diego Costa and Morata with Busquets and teenager Laporte.
!
74th minute.
Belgium played another beautiful offensive.
Hazard rotated to the center, dribbling continuously to break down Spain's midfield barrier, and distributed the ball to De Bruyne, who was parallel to the opponent's defense.
De Bruyne dribbles the ball towards the baseline.
Snapped!
Suddenly he stood up.
The ball bypassed Azpilicueta's frontal interception.
Turn to the door!
"Ding Ding's special skill - twisting the arc and making a diagonal pass!"
"Death Zone!"
"De Gea didn't dare to attack, and the central defender didn't dare to grab this point. He would either lose his position or have an own goal!"
"The sensitive area between the goal line and the back line!"
"Lukaku!"
When the 200-pound fat black man appeared in the camera.
The commentator's voice couldn't help but tremble.
Must score!
Let him go up and kick in his suit pants. After successfully grabbing the point, he can break the goal with just a touch of his foot!
...
A surprising scene occurred.
Lukaku appeared at the subtle spot in time, turning sideways towards the Spanish goal.
Without adjusting his right foot, he shoots the ball furiously.
Push!
Snapped!
The football hit my left foot.
The whole place was silent.
The football rolled out of the penalty area...
De Bruyne couldn't believe the facts in front of him and collapsed on the turf.
Martinez clutched his chest in pain.
Even Mignano and Del Bosque couldn't bear to celebrate.
Lukaku looked down at his feet, as if he couldn't remember what had just happened.
The commentator held it in for a long time before he shouted out: "The left and right sides fight each other..."
...
finally,
Beep! Beep beep~
The referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Spain 2:0 Belgium.
Advance to the semi-finals of the World Cup in Russia.
