Chapter 549: Perfect Interpretation (Daily Transition)

Player tunnel.

De Gea held the confident Pique, urging him never to lose focus.

The young talents of the French team were equally full of confidence.

Not everyone was a bad egg; Giroud friendly patted Li Kang's butt, his ambiguous gaze seemingly reflecting the glorious era of Arsenal's triple crown.

Kante embraced his Chelsea teammates one by one.

Holding, holding.

He suddenly felt something was off.

How did the opposition put the entire Chelsea lineup on the field for the final?

After the pleasantries ended, the atmosphere gradually tightened.

For some, this could be the most important match of their careers.

Mbappe gazed at Li Kang's back, eager to try.

Pogba gazed at Li Kang's back, his eyes complex.

Luzhniki Stadium.

The night wind fluttered the Russian World Cup flag on the center circle line.

Accompanied by a roar like a landslide and tsunami, the referee crew led both teams' players out of the tunnel.

The splendid golden cup stood still there.

"A close-up shot on Li Kang; as he passed the Hercules Cup, he glanced at it."

"The match is about to start."

"This World Cup's final splendid movement."

"The ultimate showdown at the world's summit."

Command area.

Bosque and Deschamps had stern faces.

In the stands.

The injury-ridden Spanish veterans had solemn expressions.

The little assistant and the wives' group were delighted and excited, shouting the players' names.

"Next, we will introduce both sides' starting lineups."

"Spain's formation is 3-4-1-2!"

"Goalkeeper: De Gea."

"Defenders: Azpilicueta, Pique, Nacho."

"Defensive midfielders: Saúl, Fabregas, Thiago, Koke."

"Attacking midfielder: Li Kang."

"Forwards: Morata, Diego Costa."

Live broadcast room.

【What 3-4-3 formation? Secret weapon?】

【Is this 3-5-2?】

【I bet on France winning the championship; if Li Kang loses I win money, if Li Kang wins I'm happy, hehe.】

【Don't panic, this lineup is definitely playable; at least in terms of proactive attack it won't fall apart, and high-pressure pressing combined with Diamond Cut can also play well.】

【It all depends on Li Kang's performance.】

【Ultimate battle.】

"France's formation is 4-2-3-1."

"Goalkeeper: Lloris."

"Defenders: Lucas, Umtiti, Varane, Pavard."

"Double defensive midfielders: Matuidi, Kanté."

"Attacking midfielders: Griezmann, Pogba, Mbappe."

"Forward: Giroud."

Live broadcast room.

【So luxurious, how many billions in total here?】

【Ferocious lineup.】

【World-class back line, fast and hard.】

【This double midfield is also awesome, completely able to support the luxurious midfield front.】

【Only weakness: Lloris.】

【The young French warriors raised their great swords, charging forward one after another toward the midfield demon king whose wings have been clipped!】

【A great opportunity to outright defeat Li Kang, revenge!】

The guessing segment ended.

Li Kang took his position.

The system prompt sounded softly.

【Ding, mission triggered: World's Summit.】

【Mission description: Moonlight illuminates Sparrow Mountain, pouring onto Luzhniki; this ancient and glorious stadium will tonight be dyed with new colors by you, to write your legend—leave no regrets.】

【Mission reward: Eternal Treasure Chest.】

【Supreme Will activated; you will embrace this showdown in your best condition.】

The head referee blew his whistle.

The 2018 Russia World Cup final officially began.

Accompanied by earth-shaking cheers.

Morata kicked off with his left foot, passing back to Fabregas.

Saúl and Koke surged forward at high speed on the wings.

"Azpilicueta also pushed up."

"Spain's frenzied attack."

He really didn't slip.

The triangle passing link between Fabregas, Li Kang, and Morata gave the whole formation the confidence to push forward!

Spain is too adventurous; this isn't the French team from two years ago!

France's half-field 40-meter area.

As Li Kang received the ball, he stepped forward, lightly leapt, and perfectly dodged Griezmann's sliding tackle.

Pogba came rushing.

Li Kang shielded the ball and passed it back to Fabregas.

He touched the ball once and diagonally passed it to the retreating Morata.

Morata's footwork is exquisite.

Likewise, one touch of the ball.

As if in tacit understanding, he found Li Kang who had run into space again.

Tuchel's masterpiece, the inheritance of Ke's triangle.

We seem to be watching Chelsea's match.

No matter how strong the opponent's overall strength, as long as we give the most difficult point to Li Kang to handle, everything will become very simple.

World's number one midfielder.

On the stands.

Tuopu Laotou vigorously slapped his thigh:

Just as I thought.

Li's stop of the ball easily defused the opponent's midfield press!

No extra movements.

He is already a master.

The youth training staff beside him also watched, entranced.

The spectators' adrenaline surged wildly.

The Bullfighters' corps like a red flood submerged the Gallic rooster.

The ball quickly passed among the red jerseys.

The lines were like cold-glinting steel wires, fiercely cutting France's midfield barrier.

Good opportunity!

Saúl!

Stop the ball!

Cut inside!

Whoa, Varane's defensive awareness is too strong, a clean tackle!

Diego Costa's counter-press!

Don't panic!

Varane passed the ball back to Lloris.

This detail reveals Deschamps' tactical philosophy, pragmatic!

Lloris stepped on the ball to stop it.

In front of the whole world, he feinted, toyed with the onrushing Diego Costa with a ball pull, then passed to Umtiti.

Applause thundered.

The 80,000 spectators on site cheered for the French goalkeeper's daring technique.

Lloris wore a disdainful look: 'Who said Spurs players can't win a trophy? I still want the World Cup.'

This action made the sideline Deschamps jump with rage.

Assistant coach Gay hurriedly advised: 'It's fine, this is the World Cup final, Lloris isn't Karius.'

Spain's formation withdrew.

Umtiti unhurriedly gestured for France teammates to press forward.

He spent two years at Barcelona, his ball-distribution skill grew deeper.

Tearing apart the remnants of Spain's pressing net, but... the opponent has no pressing net.

Umtiti passed the ball to Pogba

Pogba didn't stop the ball with his back to it, but followed the ball's path, then turned and accelerated, wow! This is confidence in ball feel!

Whoa?

Li Kang rushed forward!

Spain's sole attacking midfielder successfully pressed and completed the disruption!

Li Kang closely tackled, Pogba had no time for fancy moves.

The ball rolled toward the left side.

Coke made a timely forward run to receive the ball.

Li Kang dug his cleats into the turf and surged forward.

It was empty.

Spain's formation dropped back, France's formation pressed high, leaving the Gallic Rooster's backfield completely empty.

On the sideline.

Bosque was overjoyed.

How the hell can this still create a chance to transition into attack?

Deschamps looked completely bewildered.

Umtiti and Pogba's handling was fine, but the opposition actually placed the ball‑stealing king at the top of their formation during the defensive positioning phase.

"Coke passed the ball diagonally to Diego Costa, who was in an excellent position!"

"Diego Costa touched the ball once!"

"Give it to Li Kang, who made a forward run on the left half!"

"This pass is a bit rough; it will definitely disrupt the attacking rhythm!"

"Wow!"

Diego Costa wanted to slap himself.

The ball's trajectory was too far off.

It also took a bounce.

Forced Li Kang to slow down to handle it.

All fans' viewing inertia would also think: France had enough time to get into position, and the match would revert to a positional battle.

The next moment, a miraculous scene occurred.

Li Kang lifted his right leg.

He used his thigh to touch the out‑of‑control half‑high ball.

The ball then dropped forward.

Li Kang began to accelerate, lightly brushing the ball with the instep of his right foot.

The ball instantly became calm and obedient.

It gave a historic‑level ball feel that left people entranced.

The attacking rhythm was not delayed!

At this moment, Li Kang and the ball had already entered France's penalty area.

"What an unimaginable way of handling it!"

"Varane!"

"Real Madrid centre‑back's defensive positioning was perfect, timely cutting off Li Kang!"

Varane is very smart.

A top student.

His physical fitness is abnormal, and his defensive awareness is also abnormal.

He blocked Li Kang's path on the left side of the penalty area, including the shooting angle.

Research on the 'Li Kang zone' could fill a short essay by the Real Madrid centre‑back.

Li Kang made a sudden stop.

He stretched the gap to the limit.

He flicked the ball with his right foot.

He forced a change of direction.

He forced Varane into a side‑on stance.

Next.

It became a contest of stride frequency.

As Varane stretched out his leg, Li Kang swept the ball sideways.

The referee widened his eyes: because this kind of contest most easily leads to a penalty.

Varane was about to kick Li Kang's ankle.

Immediately after.

He was a bit puzzled: Li Kang didn't go down to ask for a penalty?

"Beautiful!"

"Li Kang staggered and shook off Varane!"

"One step."

"Two steps."

"He's there."

"The ball's there."

"The shooting angle is ready!"

Thud!

Before losing his balance, Li Kang made a small leg swing.

At Luzhniki Stadium, a super close‑range cannon surprisingly appeared.

The ball howled, spinning.

It carried a fierce, domineering force.

Blasted towards the far corner of the French team's goal.

When the French team's net was lifted high.

Luoli knelt down.

1:0!!!

Everyone was stunned, as if they couldn't believe what they saw.

Maqinuo Line. As soon as the game started, was it crushed by the Damowang?

The commentator's mind raced, racking his brains to think of how to describe this powerful shot that perfectly executed a "pass-trap-shoot".
