Chapter 1 The End

"The game is over."

"Congratulations to Spain, they have made it to the final of the 2016 European Cup in France!"

"The Matador Army is resilient. After a brief dip, they have ushered in a new era."

"Young player Li Kang put on a dominant performance in this game, becoming the most dazzling new star of the summer in France!"

"Fortunately, he is only 18 years old this year, and he can be with us for a long time in the future."

"The land of France is experiencing suffering, and the Gallic Legion needs a championship trophy more than ever to ease the tension among the people."

"But football is round, and belief and will can become bargaining chips, but cannot determine the victory of the game."

"It's okay, let's start all over again!"

"If you have ever flown over France by plane, you will find that the most eye-catching things are not the Seine, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, or Notre Dame, or even the towering Eiffel Tower. You will definitely be amazed by the numerous football fields that are scattered everywhere. This is where the strength of French football lies."

"We are witnessing the rebirth of the Gallic Rooster, with a gathering of geniuses and a youth storm. Among these young players, leaders like Kopa, Platini, and Zidane will surely be born!"

"Congratulations to Spain, and best wishes to the French team."

....

Velodrome Stadium.

Deschamps comforted his sad disciples.

The little black eggs were dejected.

Especially Umtiti, the new Barcelona player, had red eyes and was about to lose control of his emotions.

The score of 5:1 was too dazzling.

What occupies the hearts of the French central defenders is not regret, but pain and despair.

There was no way around it.

The most promising golden generation of France met the midfield demon king in their first international competition.

As a head coach, if he doesn't say something in time, the little black eggs' mental state will be destroyed. This kind of blow is very fatal to young players' careers, just like Senderos meeting Drogba!

What about the World Cup two years later?

When you are young, you can't meet people who are too amazing. How can you support a heavy blow in your ignorant years?

"Don't cry!"

"You should be grateful for this era. The road ahead is still long. As peers, this is just the beginning of your competition with Li Kang. Only by defeating opponents like him can the fruits of victory be..."

Hearing these words.

The little black eggs cried even harder.

The road ahead is still long?

Just the beginning of the competition with Li Kang?

...

After experiencing the carnival celebration, the Spanish players calmed down.

Giroud, Cazorla, and Koscielny, three Arsenal teammates, gathered together, hugging and encouraging each other. They occasionally peeked at Li Kang, covered their mouths, and raised their fingers.

Morata patted Pogba's shoulder. The two had a good relationship at Juventus, but the latter waved his hand in rejection at this time.

"I'm not a weakling, I don't need your comfort!"

"I'm no worse than Li, he's just better integrated with the national team!"

"One day, I will defeat him!"

Pogba adjusted his hairstyle through the reflection on Morata's forehead, and then strode off the green field.

Sensitivity and fragility?

These two emotions can never dominate the heart of the French genius!

What can affect the state of play is always only mood and hairstyle!

He still firmly believes at this time:

If Payet hadn't been injured and retired.

If Griezmann and Varane, these obedient teammates, could play.

The score would not have been so cruel at all.

...

Li Kang was pulled by the referee team to take a group photo.

Kante, who was heartbroken, was also squatting beside him.

He subconsciously touched the other party's little bald head.

God's perspective gave the answer when reviewing the details of the entire game: If he formed a partnership with Kante, it would reduce a lot of his heavy workload.

Kante raised his head, immediately wiped away his tears, and showed a bright smile.

His childhood was spent in hardship. When he played in Ligue 1, he was often violently beaten by Paris Saint-Germain, led by Ibrahimovic, Di Maria, and Cavani. His will was tempered very firmly.

Mbappe stood not far away, watching the backs of the two with a slight smile.

This heavy defeat also could not shake his fighting spirit.

The flashlights flashed wildly.

The reporters in the distance kept adjusting their cameras, recording a beautiful moment.

The future belongs to these young people.

......

Post-match press conference.

The reporters were eager to ask questions.

"Vincent Marquis, I am Susan from *Marca*. After breaking through the siege of the death zone, many people believe that Spain has already won the European Cup trophy. What do you think of this view?"

"Mr. Del Bosque, can this game prove that you have completed Spain's tactical reform?"

The Spanish coach shook his head and said seriously: "Whether it is Wales or Portugal, their strength should not be underestimated. The impact of superstars on the entire team is terrible."

"Football is round, and anything is possible."

"Just like before the game, we didn't expect to beat France 5:1!"

"No matter who the opponent in the European Cup final is, Spain will be fully prepared. We respect every opponent!"

"The person who completed the Spanish tactical reform is not me, but Li!"

There was thunderous applause.

On the other side.

Deschamps adjusted his emotions and concluded:

"The responsibility for the loss mainly lies with the coaching staff. There are still many shortcomings in my arrangements at the macro-tactical level."

"The French team's lads performed very well, like the 17-year-old Mbappe, he once helped the team see a glimmer of hope."

"I don't want them to be the target of outside attacks. French football is on the right track."

"The meaning and experience brought by this game are invaluable."

"Li? He shouldn't be compared with Zidane. I think they are different types. Li may reach another unattainable height for midfielders in the future."

It's over.

Before the game, he compared Li with Pogba.

After the game, he compared him with Zidane.

.....

That night.

News about this European Cup semi-final topped the hot searches on major online platforms.

《European Cup Grand Four Happiness, One Person Creates Five Goals Alone!》

《On the Physical Quality of Yellow People! One Against Five!》

《Will He Be a Historic Midfielder?》

《Miracle Appears in the Summer of France: Celestial Being From Outside the Sky!》

《Dominant Performance, Conquering France!》

In several video highlights, Li Kang's performance shocked all the audience.

Eating five people alive!

Crushing super genius Pogba!

Every goal is brilliant!

The number of comments, likes, and reposts skyrocketed.

-【Debut is the peak!】

-【Didn't catch the live broadcast of the game, the national team's Little Li is indeed more than just t0!】

-【Too handsome!】

-【As long as Li Ming Deng maintains his current state and his teammates are not injured... if he keeps playing, the national team's Grand Slam of honors will be easy!】

-【It is recommended that everyone take the time to watch the complete game recording. The highlights focus on Li Kang alone. In fact, the performance of his teammates is also very important. An ordinary national team really can't support his style of play.】

-【It will be hard to say in two years. Spain is now in a transition period. Maybe few of these teammates can accompany him to the 2018 World Cup.】

-【Don't worry, how can it be so unlucky? Iniesta still has gas in the tank, and as long as Cazorla and David Silva are not injured, there won't be any major problems.】

-【I hope he transfers to a suitable club next season, so that he can play as easily as in the national team games.】
