Catalonia Television.

Enrique looked at the screen, his expression solemn, and said:

"Even if the German team lacks a center forward as a pivot, the explosive players on the wings can still pose a great threat."

"This game is very difficult."

"Unlike the Italian team, the German team's overall strength is more balanced, and the Spanish team is facing the real test of this European Cup."

"Fortunately, though, Bosque has started Busquets."

"The Barcelona defensive midfielder can easily stifle the German team's attack."

"Yes, Busquets is the world's best holding midfielder in my mind."

...

The game resumed.

Koke stood in front of the ball, blocking the German team's quick restart, while observing the defensive positioning of his teammates in the backcourt.

Hummels complained to the referee while raising his hand to signal his teammates to move forward.

Pa!

The football swept quickly across the grass.

It rolled to the thirty-meter zone.

Götze didn't adjust, but passed it directly to Draxler on the left.

Injuries took everything away, but haven't completely erased his feel for the ball.

At this time, the left and right flanks of the Spanish team's formation were like two ominous covers.

Kroos, Khedira, Boateng, and Hummels in the center of the German team formed a grim "face," waving their "hands" intending to tear off the opponent's fig leaf!

Draxler was the "left hand."

"He's through!"

"Draxler has shaken off Juanfran this time."

"Ah! Hector is also supporting him."

"The German team has opened up the situation on the left."

"Busquets, his prediction is very accurate, his defensive position is too good."

...

Although Busquets is poor in athletic ability, with slow burst speed and turning, his defensive prediction and positioning are very good.

Instead of immediately pressing, he maintained his distance, blocking Draxler's forward path, while waiting for his teammates' support.

When bullying weaker teams, his tackles are precise, clean, and efficient.

In strong confrontations...

A system player.

Many people say Busquets is a "football illiterate filter."

That's not quite right either.

At most, he can be called a "filter for the La Masia passing and control system derived from total football."

Most fans aren't interested in him, so they don't care whether he's a filter or not.

The German team liked this point about him.

Draxler had long learned from his Bayern teammates how to completely dominate this "world's best holding midfielder."

Hector continued to pull to the outside.

Götze moved closer to support.

The two disrupted the Spanish team's other defensive players' judgment on short-term cooperation.

And then.

Draxler engaged in close combat, eating Busquets alive!

"No pass!"

"He's going to get past!"

"Wow!"

...

Busquets seemed to recall the painful moment of Bayern's 7-0 victory over Barcelona in the past.

Ah, that's not right.

There were also two or three handballs missed by the referee.

Otherwise, it would have been 9-0 or 10-0.

He decisively stretched out his foot, trying to steal the ball.

Useless.

Draxler's small skills were extremely exquisite, his right foot lightly flicking the ball.

At the same time, his shoulder exerted a little force.

Busquets was about to lose his balance, about to watch the German winger complete his escape.

In a flash.

The moment he fell, he quietly grabbed the hem of Draxler's jersey, and his right foot, about to step into the air, heavily tripped on Draxler's left foot, which was about to lift!

It's okay.

He won't be discovered.

Learning to observe is a required course for every La Masia student.

Some smart students are even better at observing the referee's position and field of vision.

....

"Oh! The two of them fell to the ground at the same time!"

"Busquets is rolling around in pain! He's covering his eyes with his hands!"

"Referee Kassai seems to be pulling out a... yellow card from his crotch, hey? He signaled for the game to continue, the German team has an advantage! Did Busquets foul? We can't see what just happened, it's impossible to replay this moment."

"The game hasn't been stopped!"

"Schweinsteiger's forward insertion is in place, and he intercepted the ball in time."

"The German team's attack has been continued!"

The whole audience was in an uproar.

The boos were deafening.

All the midfielders and forwards of the German team helped Schweinsteiger pull out space.

Although he is slow and poor at shaking off defenders, the Steel Pig's two feet... can fire heavy cannons!

Yes.

It's still the kind of stationary heavy cannon that doesn't require a run-up!

Ramos reacted quickly, immediately flying to block, Real Madrid has a lot of experience defending Bayern.

Pa!

Not a heavy cannon shot whistling towards the goal.

A fake shot, a real pass.

As the Spanish team's formation was in chaos.

Schweinsteiger passed the ball to Kroos, who was in a better position!

"Set up the cannon! Danger!"

"The gap is open."

"A chance for a long shot!"

"Not a penetrating passing and control game like a butcher dissecting an ox... the German football's passion still flows in their veins!"

*Kroos Football Academy: Teaching You to Become a Ceremony Midfielder from Scratch - Long Shot Edition*

Kroos sprinted with a run-up, his toes pointing towards the ground, about to hit the oncoming football.

His extremely dashing posture made De Gea's pupils shrink.

The Spanish goalkeeper's brain made a judgment in an instant: This degree of upper body tilt... it must be a high shot!

Come on!

I will tell the world...

The new generation of goalkeeping gods from the Iberian Peninsula will shine in Europe tonight!

...

By the sideline.

Mijano looked terrified.

Bosque was calm and composed.

The two people's gazes didn't seem to be focused on the same point.

On the other side.

Löw put his hands in his pockets, scratching his thigh through his suit pants.

...

The red jersey once again blocked De Gea's view!

In a critical moment.

Li Kang magically appeared in a key position.

A sliding tackle, intercepting the ball!

Not a clearance!

The football quietly stuck to his feet.

Kroos's long-range shooting motion was interrupted, the bewilderment in his eyes... fleeting: The German team's high back line is pressing too deep at this time, can't let this kid complete the transition from defense to offense, even if it's a foul!

Li Kang hadn't stood up yet.

The Real Madrid midfielder and Khedira pounced on him.

In the chaos, the football bounced out of bounds.

Boos rose and fell from all sides of the stands.

Bip!

The referee blew his whistle and gave Khedira a verbal warning.

Li Kang got up, the phantom of the Red and Black soul was unusually calm.

The phantom of the Portuguese No. 7 jersey was constantly struggling, furious, ready to come out.

After these two defenses, he roughly understood how to coordinate and cooperate with the "disconnected" backcourt teammates.

One step slower than Busquets.

One step faster than San José and Carvajal.

....

During the dead ball stage.

The big screen replayed the entire offensive process.

Rather than the German team's midfielders and forwards pulling the Spanish team's defense.

It was better to say that they were mutually restraining each other.

Carvajal and San José, including the returning Koke and Cazorla, all had very good defensive positioning, making the German team's passing choices very limited.

"The German team has tried two offensive methods, but both have failed to bear fruit."

"The Spanish team's back line has very strong individual ability, they helped Li Kang create the best clearing opportunity."

"Without Li Kang, the German team's successive attacks inside and outside the penalty area might have already changed the score."

"Spain's possession."

"Let's see how they launch their offensive again."

The ball boy outside the field hurriedly threw the football into the field.

The game didn't resume immediately.

The referee turned to Busquets and pulled out a yellow card!

The whole audience was in an uproar.

Busquets explained aggrievedly.

The big screen hanging in the air very timely replayed the small details of him after he fell to the ground.

Embarrassing.

The boos were even louder.

There were also boos from his own fans.

....

Catalonia Television.

Enrique's face was livid, stuttering.

In the replay, the "world's best holding midfielder," while painfully covering his face, quietly moved his palm, revealing a fleeting glimpse.

"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes."

"We should be understanding."

"Busquets is being targeted by the German team."

"Spain's situation is very dangerous, the German team has already had two excellent chances to threaten the goal."

"Objectively speaking, I think this game will go into overtime."

"That's right, Ter Stegen is in very good form, it's difficult for Spain to break through the goal he's guarding."

....

VIP box.

"Spain's situation is very dangerous."

Beckenbauer's smile grew wider, praising: "Li has already defused the German team's attack twice at key moments, did you notice his early movement?"

Cruyff's face flushed red, and he clenched his fist angrily: "La Masia has never taught children to profit through faking falls and injuries."

Beckenbauer continued: "Li's Real Madrid and Atlético teammates are equally outstanding, greatly reducing his defensive tasks... he only needs to fully utilize his brain and body to end the opponent's offensive... I'm increasingly looking forward to his performance in the offensive end of this game."

Cruyff tried hard to explain: "Busquets left La Masia for four years when he was a child, he must have learned bad habits in another youth training camp."

The staff were dumbfounded.

Were these two old men talking to each other?

....

CTV5 Live Broadcast Room.

-【Ha! La Masia Film Academy - Professor Bu.】

-【Kassai is a Real Madrid fan, the Barcelona actor can't fool him, the refereeing in this game is quite fair, but I still hope he doesn't officiate the Champions League next season...】

-【What's going on, Spain's possession rate is too low, right? They're being pressed by the German team!】

-【After all, they're the 14-year World Champions, it's not that easy.】

-【I think this is the strongest opponent Li Kang has encountered in this European Cup so far, the situation is not good.】

-【The Spanish national team lacks a Messi, do you believe that even if Li Mingdeng controls the ball in the midfield, the overall slow passing and ball control will be difficult to threaten the German team's goal.】

-【Yeah, every national team lacks a Messi, including Argentina, which also lacks a "false nine" and a "left winger" Messi...】

-【Guardiola's Bayern, Löw's Germany, the difference is really quite big.】

-【I predict that the 90-minute regular match time will be a 0-0 draw】

.....

The game resumed.

The Spanish formation as a whole pressed forward.

De Gea waved, signaling San José to pass the ball back to him.

Carvajal and Juanfran opened up on both sides.

Busquets retreated to receive the ball, preparing to act as the starting point for the attack.

The German team's frontcourt immediately prepared to put pressure.

Pa!

The football rolled rapidly along the grass towards the center.

"It turns out De Gea is looking for Li Kang!"

"This pass is not bad."

...

In recent times, the German coaching team had carefully and meticulously analyzed Li Kang's technical characteristics.

They were very meticulous, just like analyzing Messi before the 2014 World Cup final.

In the dense game footage, they compiled data and found the key to the problem:

Li Kang's ability to receive the ball with his back to the goal is in a league of its own, but... his ability to dynamically receive the ball facing forward is super weak.

The range of motion before passing the ball is too large, and the concealment is not high.

He has no ability to accelerate a second time, doesn't like to use small skills to connect and break free, and mostly likes to use his body.

During the advancement, he also especially likes to place the football outside his center of gravity, there are too many bad habits in protecting the ball, and the Marseille turn against Croatia, judging from the frequency of use, is just a flash of inspiration.

There are also bad habits left over from the La Masia youth training camp: He likes to touch the ball with the instep and arch of his left foot.

These characteristics, which are detached from the attribute level, when all unfolded, are simply the weakest of the young generation of talented midfielders...

If you want to limit him, as long as you target these bad habits, it's simply too easy.

But... the scene that happened on the green field next shocked everyone's jaws.

....

Li Kang stopped the ball with his back to the goal.

Just as he completed his turn, preparing to advance or pass.

Schweinsteiger arrived on horseback!

The timing of the close-in was mastered perfectly, just like interfering with Messi in the World Cup final, one of his striding movements blocked the passing route.

"Very dangerous."

"Hey?"

Li Kang was caught somewhat off guard.

Watching the Steel Pig arching towards him fiercely.

In his vision, the phantom of the Portuguese No. 7 finally struggled out.

Figo!

Seemed to carry endless anger towards the Germans.

The phantom suddenly turned into a dark mist, wrapping the Eye of Truth.

Immediately afterwards.

Li Kang's waist... suddenly bent.

The sudden change in the center of gravity made Schweinsteiger hesitate slightly.

Wasn't it said that this kid's ability to receive the ball facing forward was weak?

Was he going to cut inside?

No?

It was fake, he couldn't be fooled.

Damn it, it was real.

What kind of perverted rhythm change was this!

Accompanied by exclamations from all sides of the stands.

Li Kang "slowly" shook off the Schweinsteiger who was standing still in place...

He didn't pass the ball immediately.

Instead, he leaned towards the wing, rushing towards the German team's half!

"He's speeding up directly?"

"The Spanish team didn't have passing and control to organize the center!"

"Li Kang blew the horn of attack, leading the team to attack the German team's position!"

.....

The German team's midfielders were hesitating between pressing and retreating.

Kroos quickly sent a signal: Maintain the spacing in the center, and pay attention to the running positions of other Spanish players!

Their formation was still as complete as a large cover.

Kimmich moved.

As a full-back, he was responsible for intercepting Li Kang.

Come on.

The duel of destiny.

The moment they were close, Kimmich was a little dazed.

Li Kang suddenly stopped the ball, his upper body leaning towards the inside line.

The German full-back quickly shifted his center of gravity to block.

The football moved quickly back and forth between his feet.

With a snap.

It swept past the outside line.

Li Kang bypassed Kimmich and continued to advance!

"He... he's broken through!"

"Too scary!"

"Li Kang clearly didn't have any extra fancy moves, but relied on an unbelievable change of rhythm to shake off the interception of two German players!"

His teammates quickly moved forward, widening the field!

Iniesta and David Silva provided support, maintaining a delicate distance from Li Kang.

But... the absolute speed of several people was a bit slow, and the overall impact was really incomparable to the German team.

....

Atlantic Stadium.

Cheers rang out.

The Spanish fans never expected their team to launch such a wonderful attack.

He sped up directly?

No dawdling with passing?

No passing back and forth dozens of times to slowly advance?

Spanish bench.

Diego Costa spread his hands and said, "If I had known we wouldn't play passing and control, I should have been sent on!"

Isco clenched his fist: "So handsome."

Mijano looked dumbfounded: "Boss, we didn't deploy this kind of thing before the game..."

Bosque quickly interrupted: "We have to cooperate well with Li based on the actual situation on the field!"

On the other side.

The German coaching team panicked.

Sorg cursed, "Didn't you say this kid's ability to receive the ball facing forward is very weak? What is this?"

Löw gradually became nervous, and unconsciously put his hand into...

....

German team's residence.

Lying on the bed, Neuer hammered the mattress hard, and shouted helplessly:

"Ter Stegen, retreat quickly! That kid is about to break through the defense!"

"Well... Li's absolute speed is too slow, he can't accelerate a second time, Boateng and Khedira can..."

...

Thirty-meter zone.

Boateng and Khedira quickly double-teamed.

The two people's running positions were extremely clever, and they also blocked the passing connection between Li Kang and Iniesta and David Silva.

Kroos was closely following Koke, who was trying to insert in the center.

The German team maintained its consistent meticulousness.

The overall tactical discipline was very high.

"Li Kang's absolute speed in advancing with the ball is still not fast enough."

"Simply relying on changes in rhythm, he can't get past the combination of Boateng and Khedira..."

....

God's perspective.

Li Kang sensed Carvajal supporting from behind.

He was planning to choose to pass back, because from the dynamic information he had at the moment, even if Figo was resurrected... bah, even if Figo rejuvenated and returned to his peak, he might not be 100% able to break through the double-team of Boateng and Khedira.

These two guys were not vegetarians.

One of the world's top center-back pairings with a super-class holding midfielder.

When playing against the German team, you can't bet on probability, once you lose possession of the ball in this position... the consequences would be unimaginable.

Suddenly.

A soft neigh came from his ear.

In his vision, the phantom of a little foal suddenly appeared.

....

Boateng vaguely had an ominous premonition.

He suddenly realized: In order to cut off Li Kang's passing connection to both sides, he and Khedira had actually widened the gap a bit.

Huh?

It should be okay.

That kid Li doesn't have the ability to accelerate a second time.

Immediately afterwards.

The German black center-back slightly opened his mouth, and saw an unbelievable picture.

The football slid past his side.

What was it that lifted the hem of the white jersey again?

Was it the wind?

Khedira didn't have time to fill in and block, and subconsciously reached out, but couldn't touch anything.

The German team's back line collapsed with a bang.

Tens of thousands of spectators in the Atlantic Stadium couldn't help but hold their breath.

The camera suddenly paused and began to move.

The Spanish No. 6 jersey in the wind was like a ball of fire.

The German team's white wall was instantly melted.

"He is the wind!"

"He is fire!"

"Wow!"

....

Li Kang broke through the German team's defense.

All that was left in front of him was Ter Stegen, who was rushing out.

The Little Lion was fully prepared.

I not only want to prove myself for the German team, but also for Barcelona!

Come on!

La Masia reject!

North Rhine prodigy!

Bang!

What responded to him was an unstoppable heavy cannon!

Ter Stegen, who maintained his blocking posture, was dumbfounded, petrified.

1:0!

The Atlantic Stadium was instantly silent.

What about the offensive and defensive game?

What about the strong confrontation?

How could someone score goals in such an unreasonable and domineering way?
