Time slipped away, second by second.

Although Belgium dominated possession, their attack chains were too simplistic, making it difficult to breach the Spanish goal.

"Realizing talent on the World Cup stage isn't easy."

"An extremely luxurious lineup."

"Many players have made sacrifices."

"For example, De Bruyne, who plays as a 'free number 8' in the attacking midfield for Wolfsburg and Manchester City, has a particularly heavy defensive burden when he returns to the national team, often dropping back to the defensive line."

"Toby and Courtois are arguing again. This isn't the first time this has happened. It happened during the group stage match against Panama..."

"Belgium's defensive shortcomings aren't caused by individual problems."

...

The final stages of the first half.

Martinez finally changed his formation.

His on-the-spot command ability is extremely rare among national team coaches, exceptionally strong.

He didn't continue to let De Bruyne act as a workhorse.

The 4-2-3-1 formation switched to 4-3-3.

Hazard moved to the front line.

Lukaku moved to the wing.

Fellaini and Dembele rotated positions.

De Bruyne transformed into a center forward.

That's right, not even cartoons dare to write it like this, letting De Bruyne play center forward!

"Martinez is even more Guardiola than Guardiola!"

"Dembele holding the ball in the middle."

"Spain, constrained by the shortcomings of the *Jiuhaban* (number 9.5), can only defend in a low block, unable to form a collective press in the attacking third."

"De Bruyne, in the number 9 position, suddenly retreated, pulling at the opponent's low defensive line."

"Dembele didn't pass the ball to De Bruyne, but instead to Lukaku on the right wing!"

"Lukaku withstood Thiago with his back to the goal, received the ball, and then passed it back!"

"Finding De Bruyne!"

"A beautiful arc!"

"Not looking for Hazard?"

Hazard had no intention of receiving the ball. He had completed a diagonal run in advance, bringing Carvajal and Saul towards the inside.

Witsel sprinted forward at high speed!

Transforming into a left winger!

Appearing in the open area, unloading the ball, adjusting.

On the sidelines.

Martinez was excited, his cheeks flushed.

Space.

Relying on the individual talent of the attacking stars, they can find and utilize the attacking space well.

...

At the same time.

The ubiquitous Lukaku, after completing the back-to-goal pass, immediately turned around and sprinted forward. At this moment, he appeared in the perfect position at the far post for a cross. This two-hundred-pound black fatty has excellent defensive reading and movement ability!

The Spanish defense couldn't cover up the flaws in an instant.

Witsel hesitated for a fraction of a second.

He didn't cross!

Instead, he passed it to De Bruyne, who was in a worse position but more reliable!

De Bruyne almost stomped his foot in anger when he saw the ball rolling towards him...

No way.

Under the interference of Saul and Thiago, he could only take the ball and lead it to the outside of the penalty area.

"What does this mean?"

"Hazard went inside and took Carvajal away."

"Witsel had such a good space and angle, but he passed the ball to De Bruyne?"

"Causing De Bruyne to be forced to the outside when receiving the ball..."

"Simply put, Witsel wasted the opportunity for a fatal pass, forcibly rotated himself and De Bruyne, changing a position. At this moment, De Bruyne no longer has the opportunity for a fatal pass."

"Even the best tactical adjustments are difficult to make a qualitative change in Belgium's attack."

"Finally played a varied attack chain..."

"Beautiful, Ramos completes the final help defense, successfully steals the ball!"

The moment the ball was poked away.

De Bruyne jumped on the spot, slapping his thigh with his hand while jumping.

...

On the sidelines.

Minano was scared into a cold sweat.

Too thrilling.

The defense was almost blown up.

On the other side.

Martinez crumpled the mineral water bottle in frustration.

The tactical adjustment was very effective, but the attacking ideas were not unified!

No.

The defensive ideas are also not unified.

...

Ramos passed the ball to Thiago.

The Bayern midfielder sent a long-distance through ball, finding Li Kang, who had rushed to the center circle.

How many flaws the *Jiuhaban* (number 9.5) has on the defensive end, how many advantages it has on the offensive end.

"The first touch is so beautiful."

"Historical level of ball control accuracy."

"Connecting the turn, a hook."

"Superb."

"Easily got rid of Fellaini."

"Moving forward!"

At the Samara Arena, the audience cheered.

Finally saw Li Kang get the ball.

After Messi was eliminated, only players like Hazard, Neymar, and Li Kang on the World Cup stage can bring the audience the ultimate dribbling enjoyment.

Not Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Maradona, Baggio in blurry videos.

But witnessing the legend with your own eyes!

...

The camera moved to the Belgian half.

The European Red Devils frantically retreated, too late.

Spain's rapid forward insertion to provide support, also too late.

Li Kang took on three players.

Changed direction and accelerated to get rid of Chadli.

*Youzha Wanzi* (croqueta dribble) past Kompany.

All the audience couldn't help but hold their breath, watching Li Kang getting closer and closer to the goal.

Finally.

At the arc of the penalty area, Li Kang paused, resisting Toby.

Kicked the goal.

*Ping!*

Arcing cannonball, straight into the dead corner.

Courtois desperately pounced, unable to reach anything.

The ball rippled the net again.

2:0!!!

"Scored twice!"

"The Spanish army, who lost momentum, expanded their lead with Li Kang's personal ability!"

"Li Kang's dribbling raid is the most unique landscape on this World Cup stage."

"Too strong."

"Elegant touch."

"Domineering control radius."

"Terrifying physical confrontation."

"Unfathomable offensive methods."

"..."

Courtois got up, without complaining about his teammates, but heavily kicked the goalpost.

The Belgian players slowed down their pace of chasing back, helplessly watching Li Kang's back.

The talented and brilliant stars suddenly had a trace of self-doubt.

...

Live broadcast room.

-【Too handsome.】

-【Interprets the charm of football.】

-【Isn't Spain being suppressed? How can they score two goals?】

-【The last link of Belgium's attack always has problems, either shooting the plane or passing blindly.】

-【Vertonghen participated in the attack, leaving Chadli, Kompany, and Toby, three guys with inconsistent defensive ideas, in the high defensive line.】

-【Even the forward of Panama can threaten Belgium's defense. It's understandable that Li Mingdeng takes on three players. I think Neymar can do this too!】

-【Brothers who are optimistic about Belgium, don't panic. You must believe in the European Red Devils' ability to reverse the situation.】

-【Yes, it is very likely to be the same script as the Japanese team, leading by two goals, and finally being eliminated by a lore!】

-【In this first half, Spain brought Li Kang's personal advantages to the extreme. Li Mingdeng, who doesn't need deep defense, is a super killer.】

...

Li Kang didn't expect this breakthrough to be so simple.

Belgium's high defensive line, defensive ideas are too chaotic.

Chadli forced him to the outside line without thinking, and Kompany showed amazing football intelligence... wanting to maintain the depth level, causing Toby to hesitate for a while.

The opponent could obviously fight as a team, but they came up one by one to give away.

...

Spanish teammates surrounded him and lifted Li Kang high.

Dense flashes of magnesium lights flashed again.

Outside the camera, De Gea faced the stands and raised his arms and shouted.

He felt that the night in Samara was very hot.

The body is hot.

The heart is also hot.

Being able to make a defensive contribution and win the game... this feeling is so wonderful.

...

On the sidelines.

Minano and the substitute players high-fived to celebrate.

Bosque patted his big belly happily.

"This game is very difficult, but Li makes everything simple!"

On the other side.

Martinez had a confused look.

Madly replaying in his mind... how can they be two goals behind?

.....

The following game became more and more intense.

The unruly Belgian geniuses quickly adjusted their mentality.

Continue to launch a frantic attack.

But the high defensive line did not dare to press too far forward, because Spain left a Li Kang at the front of the formation, and even replaced Diego Costa and Morata, replacing them with Busquets and the young player Laporte!

74th minute.

Belgium launched another beautiful offensive.

Hazard rotated to the center, continuously dribbling and blasting through the Spanish midfield barrier, and passed the ball to De Bruyne, who was parallel to the opponent's defense.

De Bruyne took the ball and rushed to the baseline.

*Pa!*

Suddenly kicked the ball.

The ball bypassed Azpilicueta's frontal interception.

Turning to the front of the goal!

"Ding Ding's stunt - rubbing the arc and passing diagonally!"

"Death zone!"

"De Gea doesn't dare to come out and pounce, the center backs don't dare to grab this point, either they lose their position or they score an own goal!"

"The sensitive area between the goal line and the defensive line!"

"Lukaku!"

When the two-hundred-pound black fatty appeared in the camera.

The commentator's voice couldn't help but tremble.

A must-score goal!

Let him go up to kick in a suit and shorts, after successfully grabbing the spot, he can score a goal by lifting his foot and touching it!

...

An amazing scene was born.

Lukaku appeared in time at the subtle landing point, facing the Spanish goal in a sideways position.

Without adjusting his right foot, he volleyed angrily.

Push shot!

*Pa!*

The ball hit his left foot.

The whole audience was silent.

The ball rolled out of the penalty area...

De Bruyne couldn't believe the facts in front of him and collapsed on the grass.

Martinez painfully covered his chest.

Even Minano and Bosque couldn't bear to celebrate.

Lukaku lowered his head and looked at his feet, as if he couldn't remember what just happened.

The commentator held back for a long time before slowly shouting: "Ambidextrous..."

...

at last,

*Beep! Beep Beep~*

The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Spain 2:0 Belgium.

Advance to the semi-finals of the Russia World Cup.
