Chapter 215: The Black Eggs' Dao Hearts Are Shattered. (Transitional Chapter)

The match ended.

Congratulations to Spain, they have reached the final of the 2016 France European Cup!

The Bullfighters Army is resilient; after a brief dip into a low point, they have ushered in a new era.

Young Li Kang delivered a dominant performance in this match, becoming the brightest new star of the summer in France!

Fortunately, he is only 18 years old this year, and he can accompany us for a long time to come.

This land of France is undergoing hardship; the Gaul Army now needs a championship trophy more than ever to ease the people's tension.

But football is round; belief and will can serve as weights, yet they cannot decide the outcome of a match.

No worries, let's start over!

If you have ever flown over the skies of France by plane, you will notice that the most striking sights are not the Seine River, the Louvre, nor the Arc de Triomphe and Notre-Dame, not even the towering Eiffel Tower; you will surely marvel at the scattered, ubiquitous football pitches—this is where the strength of French football lies.

We are witnessing the rebirth of the Gaulish Rooster, with talents gathering and a youthful storm; among these young players, a leader like Kopa, Platini, or Zidane is sure to emerge.

Congratulations to Spain, and also send our blessings to the French team.

Stade Vélodrome.

Deschamps consoles his grieving disciples.

The Black Eggs hang their heads in dejection.

Especially Umtiti, this new Barcelona signing has red-rimmed eyes and is about to lose control of his emotions.

The 5:1 score is too glaring.

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

There's nothing to be done.

The most promising French golden generation, upon their first appearance in an international tournament, have encountered the midfield demon king.

If the head coach does not speak up in time, the Black Eggs' mindset will be destroyed; such a blow is deadly for young players' careers, just as when Sandros met Drogba!

What about the World Cup two years from now?

In youth, one should not meet too dazzling a person; this already bewildering age, how can it bear the weight of such a heavy blow?

No crying!

You should be grateful for this era; the road ahead is still long. As peers, this is only the beginning of your rivalry with Li Kang—only by defeating an opponent like him can the fruits of victory become even more...

Upon hearing these words.

The Black Eggs cried even harder.

Is the road ahead still long?

Is it merely the start of the rivalry with Li Kang?

After the Spanish players' celebrations subsided, their mood returned to calm.

Giroud, Cazorla, and Koscielny, three Arsenal teammates, gathered together, embracing and encouraging each other; they occasionally glanced at Li Kang, covering their mouths and raising their fingers.

Morata patted Pogba on the shoulder; their relationship at Juventus is good, yet at this moment he rejected him with a raised hand.

I'm damn not weak; I don't need your consolation!

I am not inferior to Li; he just has better chemistry with the national team!

One day, I will defeat him!

Pogba, seeing Morata's forehead reflection, tidied his hair and then strode off the pitch.

Sensitivity and fragility?

These two emotions can never dominate the mind of a French genius!

Only mood and hairstyle can ever affect performance!

He still firmly believes:

If Payet had not withdrawn due to injury.

If Griezmann and Varane, these obedient teammates, could have taken the field.

The score would not have been so harsh.

Li Kang was pulled by the referee crew for a group photo.

Beside him, Kanté sat slumped, heartbroken.

He instinctively touched the other's little braised egg.

From God's perspective, while reviewing the match details, came the answer: if partnered with Kanté, his workload would be greatly reduced.

Kanté lifted his head, quickly wiped away his tears, and revealed a radiant smile.

His childhood was spent in hardship; while playing in Ligue 1, he was often thrashed by Paris Saint-Germain, led by Yun Bu, Di María, and Cavani, his will forged into great resilience.

Mbappé stood not far away, gazing at their backs with a faint smile.

This heavy loss likewise could not shake his fighting spirit.

The flashbulbs flickered wildly.

In the distance, reporters kept adjusting their cameras, capturing a beautiful moment.

The future belongs to these youngsters.

Post-match press conference.

Reporters eagerly posed questions.

Marquis Vincent, I am Susan of Marca; after breaking out of the death half's encirclement, many think Spain has already locked away the European Cup trophy—what is your take on this view?

Mr. Bosque, can this match prove that you have completed Spain's tactical overhaul?

The Spanish head coach shook his head, speaking seriously: 'Whether it be Wales or Portugal, their strength must not be underestimated; the impact a superstar has on the whole team is terrifying.'

Football is round; anything is possible.

Just as we had not expected before the match to be able to defeat France 5:1!

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

"The person who completed Spain's tactical reform is not me, but Li!"

"Applause thundered."

"On the other side."

"Deschamps composed himself and concluded:"

"The responsibility for the loss mainly lies with the coaching staff; my arrangement of the overall tactical level still has many shortcomings."

"The young players of the French team performed excellently; like 17-year-old Mbappé, he once helped the team see a glimmer of hope."

"I don't want them to become the target of external criticism; French football is on the right path."

"The meaning and experience brought by this match are precious."

"Li? He shouldn't be compared to Zidane; I think they are different types, and Li may reach another unattainable height for a midfielder in the future."

"We're doomed."

"Before the match, they were still comparing Li and Pogba."

"After the match, they compared him to Zidane."

"That night."

"News about this European Cup semifinal surged to the hot searches on major online platforms."

"European Cup quadruple crown, one person single-handedly scored five goals!"

"On the physical quality of East Asians! One beats five!"

"Will he be a historic-level midfielder?"

"A miracle appears in the French summer: a celestial flying immortal!"

"Dominant performance, conquering France!"

"In several video highlights, Li Kang's performance shocked all viewers."

"He devoured five people raw!"

"He crushed the super genius Pogba!"

"Every goal was spectacularly superb!"

"The numbers of comments, likes, and shares surged wildly."

"-【Debut at the peak!】"

"-【Missing the match live stream, the national team's little Li is indeed not just T0!】"

"-【Too handsome!】"

"-【If Li Mingdeng maintains his current form and teammates stay injury-free... he can keep playing and easily win a grand slam of national team honors.】"

"-【Suggest everyone take some time to watch the full match replay; the highlights focus all on Li Kang, but actually teammates' performances are also crucial—ordinary national teams truly cannot support his style of play.】"

"-【In two years it may be uncertain; Spain currently lacks successors, and these teammates might not have many who can accompany him to the 2018 World Cup.】"

"-【Don't worry, how could that be so unlucky? Yinniesta still has some gas; as long as Cazorla and David Silva stay uninjured, there's no big problem.】"

"-【Hope he transfers to a suitable club next season, so he can play as easily as he does for the national team.】"
