Chapter 540: Simple (Daily Transition)

Time passed minute by minute, second by second.

Although Bi Li Shi had the field advantage, their attack chain was too singular, making it difficult to break through Xi Ban Ya's goal.

On the World Cup stage, realizing talent is not easy.

A super luxurious lineup.

Many players made sacrifices.

For example, De Bu Lao Nei, at Wo Er Fu Si Bao and Man Cheng he played the role of a front‑field 'free 8', but returning to the national team his defensive duties were especially heavy, several times he had to drop back to the defensive line.

Tuo Bi again had a dispute with Ku Er Tu Wa; this phenomenon wasn't the first time it appeared, ah, during the group stage match against Ba Na Ma.

Bi Li Shi's defensive shortcomings were not caused by individual problems.

The closing stage of the first half.

Ma Ding Nei Si finally changed formation.

His in‑game command ability was extremely rare among national team head coaches, remarkably strong.

He did not continue to let De Bu Lao Nei serve as a worker role.

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

A Za Er moved up to the front line.

Lu Ka Ku went to the flank.

Fei Lai Ni and Deng Bei Lai rotated positions.

De Bu Lao Nei became a striker.

Exactly, even cartoons wouldn't dare write it like that, letting De Bu Lao Nei play as a striker!

"Ma Ding Nei Si is more Guardiola than Guardiola!"

"Deng Bei Lai held the ball in the central channel."

"Xi Ban Ya, shackled by the flaws of the number nine and a half, could only defend low and could not form overall pressure in the front."

"De Bu Lao Nei in the number nine formation suddenly withdrew, pulling the opponent's low defensive line."

"Deng Bei Lai did not pass the ball to De Bu Lao Nei, but instead gave it to Lu Ka Ku on the right flank!"

"Lu Ka Ku, with his back to goal, held off Di Ya Ge, received the ball, then played a back‑heel!"

"Find De Bu Lao Nei!"

A beautiful arc!

"Not looking for A Za Er?"

A Za Er had no intention of receiving the ball; he early completed a diagonal run, pulling Ka Wa Ha Er and Sa Er inward.

Wei Te Sai Er surged forward!

Became a left winger!

Appearing in open space, he settled the ball and adjusted.

On the sideline.

Ma Ding Nei Si was excited, his cheeks flushed.

Space.

Relying on the individual talent of front‑field stars, one could discover and make good use of attacking space.

At the same time.

Ubiquitous Lu Ka Ku, after completing a back‑to‑goal lay‑off, immediately turned and surged forward, now appearing in the perfect crossing‑in position; this 200‑jin black fatty possessed excellent defensive‑line reading and movement ability.

Xi Ban Ya's defense could not conceal its gaps in an instant.

Wei Te Sai Er hesitated for a fraction of a second.

No cross!

But instead passed to the less favorable yet more reliable De Bu Lao Nei!

De Bu Lao Nei saw the ball rolling toward him and almost stomped his foot in anger.

No way.

Under interference from Sa Er and Di Ya Ge, he could only receive the ball and carry it to the outside of the penalty area.

What does this mean?

"A Za Er ran inside, pulling Ka Wa Ha Er open."

"Wei Te Sai Er had such good space and angle, yet he passed the ball to De Bu Lao Nei?"

"This forced De Bu Lao Nei to receive the ball only to be pushed out wide."

"Simply put, Wei Te Sai Er wasted the chance for a decisive pass, forcibly rotating himself and De Bu Lao Nei, swapping positions; now De Bu Lao Nei no longer has the chance for a decisive pass."

"No matter how excellent the tactical adjustment, it's hard to make Bi Li Shi's attack undergo a qualitative change."

With great difficulty they produced a varied attacking chain.

"Nice, La Mo Si completed the last‑ditch cover and successfully won the ball!"

The moment the ball was poked away.

De Bu Lao Nei bounced on the spot, one hand bouncing, the other slapping his thigh.

On the sideline.

Mi Ni Ya Nuo broke out in a cold sweat from fright.

Too nerve‑wracking.

The defense was almost blown apart by a tiny margin.

On the other side.

Ma Ding Nei Si glumly crushed the water bottle.

The tactical adjustment worked well, but the attacking approach is not unified!

No.

The defensive approach is also not unified.

Ramos passed the ball to Thiago.

Bayern's midfield sent a long-distance through ball, finding Li Kang who had rushed to the midfield circle.

The number nine and a half has as many defensive flaws as offensive advantages.

"The first touch is so beautiful."

"Historical-level ball control precision."

"A seamless turn and a flick."

"Pure and refined."

"He easily shook off Fellaini."

"Push forward!"

At the Samara Stadium, the spectators cheered and jumped for joy.

Finally got to see Li Kang with the ball.

After Messi was eliminated, only players like Hazard, Neymar, and Li Kang on the World Cup stage could give spectators the ultimate dribbling enjoyment.

Not the blurry footage of Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Maradona, or Baggio.

But witnessing the legend with our own eyes!

The camera moved to Belgium's half.

The European Red Devils' frantic forward retreat came too late.

Spain's rapid forward insert to provide support also came too late.

Li Kang took on three opponents.

He changed direction and accelerated to shake off Shaqiri.

A fried ball move got past Kompany.

All the spectators couldn't help but hold their breath as they watched Li Kang get closer and closer to the goal.

Finally.

Li Kang, at the top of the penalty area arc, paused and firmly held off Toby.

He kicked and shot.

Bang!

An arcing heavy shot went straight into the top corner.

Courtois lunged desperately but saved nothing.

The ball once again lifted the net.

2-0!!!

"A brace!"

"The Bullfighters Legion, losing momentum on the field, expanded their lead thanks to Li Kang's individual ability!"

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

"Too dominant."

"Elegant touch."

"Overbearing control radius."

"Terrifying physical confrontation."

"Unpredictable attacking style."

""."

Courtois got up, didn't blame his teammates, but instead kicked the goalpost hard.

The Belgium players slowed their pursuit, helplessly watching Li Kang's back.

The dazzling constellation of talented stars suddenly gave rise to a hint of self-doubt.

Live broadcast room.

【So handsome.】

【Interpreted the charm of football.】

【Spain isn't being pressed and beaten? How can they still score two?】

【Belgium's attacking final link always has problems, either shooting wildly or passing blindly.】

【Vertonghen joined the attack, leaving the high defensive line with Shaqiri, Kompany, and Toby—three guys with disjointed defensive thinking.】

【Even Panama's forward can threaten Belgium's defense; Li Mingdeng taking on three is understandable—I think if Neymar came over he could also do this!】

【Those optimistic about Belgium's brothers, don't panic; believe in the European Red Devils' ability to turn things around.】

【Yes, it's very likely to be the same script as against Japan—leading by two goals, then being eliminated by a last-minute goal!】

【In this first half, Spain brought Li Kang's individual advantage to the extreme; Li Mingdeng, who doesn't need deep defense, is a super weapon.】

Li Kang never expected this breakthrough to be so easy.

Belgium's high defensive line has chaotic defensive thinking.

Shaqiri mindlessly pushed him outward, while Kompany showed astonishing game intelligence wanting to maintain depth, causing Toby to hesitate.

The opponent could clearly play as a team, yet they kept sending players one by one to be sacrificed.

Spain's teammates swarmed forward, lifting Li Kang high.

The dense flashbulbs flickered again.

Outside the camera, De Gea faced the stands, raising his arms and shouting.

He felt that Samara's night was very hot.

Body is hot.

Heart is also hot.

Being able to make a defensive contribution and win the match—this feeling is too wonderful.

On the sideline.

Mininiano and the bench players celebrated with a fist bump.

Bosque laughed and patted his big belly.

"This match was tough, but Li Rang made everything simple!"

On the other side.

Martinez's gaze was confused.

In his mind, he frantically replayed how they could still be two goals behind?

The upcoming match became even more intense.

The unruly Belgian talents quickly adjusted their mindset.

Continue launching a fierce attack.

But the high defensive line dared not push too far, because Spain's formation left a Li Kang at the front, even substituting Diego Costa and Morata, bringing on Busquets and the young Laporte!

Minute 74.

Belgium launched another beautiful attack.

Hazard moved to the center, continuously dribbling past Spain's midfield barrier, passing the ball to De Bruyne, who was parallel with the opposing defense.

De Bruyne dribbled the ball toward the baseline.

Pa!

Suddenly kicked.

The ball went around Azpilicueta's front interception.

Turned toward the goal!

"Ding Ding's ultimate skill—scooping arc diagonal pass!"

"Death zone!"

"De Gea dare not come out to punch, the center backs dare not challenge this point—either they lose position or score an own goal."

"Sensitive area between the goal line and the defensive line!"

"Lukaku!"

When the 200‑jin black fatty appeared on camera.

The commentator's voice couldn't help trembling.

Lukaku timely appeared at the subtle landing spot, side‑body facing the Spanish goal.

Right foot without adjustment, met the ball with a furious shot.

Push shot!

Pa!

The ball hit his own left foot.

The whole stadium fell silent.

The ball rolled out of the penalty area.

De Bruyne couldn't believe what he saw, sitting limp on the grass.

Martinez painfully clutched his chest.

Even Mininiano and Bosque couldn't bear to celebrate.

Lukaku lowered his head to look at his own feet, as if unable to recall what had just happened.

The commentator held back for a while, then slowly shouted: 'Left‑right grappling.'

Finally,

Beep! Beep‑beep~

The head referee blew the whistle signaling the end of the match.

Spain 2:0 Belgium.

Advanced to the Russia World Cup semifinals.

Yesterday's bonus chapter lasted less than a few hours before being blocked.
