The moment the final whistle blew.

The cheers of the Spanish fans swept through the Kazan Arena like a flood.

The Argentine fans had red eyes and it was a little difficult to accept the fate of the team's elimination.

"It's over."

"Li Kang and Messi played at a dominant level in this game, which made us fully feel the charm of football."

"The pinnacle duel between the two came to an end tonight."

"Li Kang is only 20 years old this year, and he can accompany us for a long, long time in the coming years."

"But Messi is not young anymore, what kind of end is it."

"The breeze on the banks of the Volga, blow away the sorrow, Argentina! Do it all over again in four years! ”

“.”

"Congratulations to the Matador Legion!"

"I hope that Li Kang's journey in the World Cup will not go through too many ups and downs and leave too many regrets."

Live room.

-

[Four years later, Argentina has lost Higuain, Aguero, and Mascherano, and the youth echelon has not emerged for the time being, such as Li Kang, Mbappe, and Pogba, and Messi's career should not be able to win the Hercules Cup. 】

-

[Li Kang's situation is similar, four years later, there may be De Gea, Morata, and Saul left around him. 】

-

[Busquets's predictive thinking gets older and more demonic, but the visible decline in athleticism can't help much. 】

-

[I hope Li Kang can win the championship in this World Cup! ] 】

-

[20 years old, the first time to participate in the World Cup, scored five goals as the core of the midfield, is already very perverted. 】

-

[The French little black eggs next door are also fierce, and Mbappe scored two goals. 】

Sampaoli regained his composure and slowly walked onto the green field, comforting his disciples.

Aguero's eyes were red.

Higuain lay on his back on the turf and covered his eyes with his arms.

Mascherano was helped off the pitch by the team doctor.

Di Maria, with a calm expression, thanked the fans in the stands.

Messi was covered in mud and grass clippings on his jersey, and he looked at the corner flag blown by the night breeze in a daze.

No one knows what he's thinking at the moment.

Argentine fans are full of regrets: at the Qatar World Cup four years later, 35-year-old Messi and 34-year-old Di Maria may not be able to play such a phenomenal performance tonight.

The sadness of one side sets off the joy of the other.

The Spanish fans were rejoicing.

But the coaching staff and veterans are back in thought after a brief.

In the group stage, Morocco scored two goals.

In tonight's knockout match, if it weren't for Messi hitting the crossbar and the post, the outcome would be unpredictable.

There are actually a lot of problems with the lineup, but sometimes it's covered up.

The young players didn't think about it that much.

Li Kang was surrounded by Saul, Koke, De Gea and others to thank the fans.

"Why do you want to do so much?"

"How can there be so much defensive pressure in the next game?"

"You would also say positional defense"

Alvaro Morata, who was substituted in advance, had a hairstyle that had been sorted out a long time ago, and appeared in the media area as a representative of the players.

The spotlight reflects the handsome face.

The billboard behind him is printed with the logo of the sponsor of the World Cup.

A Spanish journalist asked: "Alvaro, congratulations on scoring a crucial goal in this game, do you regret that you were not born a few years earlier to lift the Hercules Cup in South Africa with the golden generation of matadors?" Achieve the Grand Slam of your career! ”

How many years early?

Can I compete with Torres and Villa?

Morata straightened his waist and said with a serious expression: "In contrast, I am more glad that I can play side by side with Lee, and we will create a more glorious football history together!" ”

Bang Bang Bang!

This answer made the reporters at the scene applaud heartily.

The applause was thunderous and enduring.

Post-match press conference.

Bosque's expression didn't show much joy.

'Argentina were a respectable opponent and they came close to equalising.

"Lee changed the tide of the war."

'Spain's passing problems have been exposed since the 2013 Confederations Cup, and that is not the best defensive barrier.

"We're going to stick to Lee's core and he'll lead the team to victory."

The 13-year Confederations Cup was blown up.

The group stage of the World Cup in '14 was slaughtered.

In the 16th European Cup, Li Kang brought the Twilight Dynasty back to light.

Today's 18 World Cup

A moment later.

Argentine coach Sampaoli appeared in the auditorium.

In the face of the shelling of South American journalists.

He puffed out his chest proudly: "I think we lost to the World Cup winner!" You can wait and see, there is no line of defense that can withstand the Matadors in this World Cup! ”

"It's a shame that if we had finished first in the group stage, we wouldn't have faced Spain in advance."

"I have to stress again that Lee is also omnipotent at the national team level, he is like Beckenbauer, and it is normal to lose to his team."

Sampaoli likes to praise his opponents after losing.

Because praising the opponent can hide a lot of problems.

Catalunya TV.

Enrique glanced down at his phone, why was his social software full of words such as "losing money", "returning money" and "fake squid".

"Ahem, a narrow victory."

"Although Lee scored two goals in this game and threatened many times, he is still relatively inexperienced in the World Cup. Let's take a look at this replay, why did he get up and continue to attack when he was tripped up? You should complain to the referee and ask for a free kick! ”

"This is the wisdom on the green field!"

"Oh, the straight plug that comes out after getting up is perfect!"

“.”

"Ramos' top pick was too reckless."

'Cork's two long-range shots were a bit haphazard'

"If Spain wants to go far in the World Cup, they can't rely too much on Lee."

The host suddenly asked: "Mr. Enrique, if you become the coach of Spain in the future, will you start a tactical deployment around Li Lai?" ”

Enrique was stunned and said categorically: "Yes!" ”

After this World Cup, Bosque is about to retire, and Enrique, who has just been terminated by Arsenal, is one of the hot candidates for manager.

An hour later.

Li Kang and his teammates returned to the hotel.

The perimeter of the hotel was fenced off in advance, and many tourists wore Spanish No. 6 jerseys, holding posters and high-replica Hercules cups.

The security personnel were on standby and confronted the sea of people.

Mignano sent representatives of the team to persuade the tourists to go back early and rest.

Tourists don't sleep.

The players need to sleep.

How do you rest when you swarm around the hotel to celebrate the fireworks?

For professional athletes, training and sleep are just as important.

"It turned out that opposite was the white-walled Kremlin, the city of the ancient Tatar kingdom. Why didn't I find out before the game? ”

De Gea pushed up the window of his room and admired the imposing old palace at night.

The tension has long since disappeared without a trace.

Andres Iniesta, along with Sergio Busquets, Sergio Ramos, Koke, Carvajal and other players, put aside their La Liga grudges, rented a small conference room in the hotel, and began to watch the "Belgium vs Japan" match.

The opponents of the quarterfinals will be born between these two teams!

"The Japanese team played well, and the ground coordination was too fluid."

"Belgium's defensive thinking is not uniform!"

The Spanish generals were gossiping.

Morata looked at Lukaku, who was empty on the screen, and couldn't help but complain: "This guy's shooting skills are terrible." ”

Li Kang returned to his room.

The system prompt sounded quietly.

[Ding, mission accomplished: a canine man, a patient.] 】

[Mission Receipt: A Peak Showdown. Well, your World Cup journey will be even more thrilling next! 】

[Congratulations on acquiring: World Cup Legendary Chest.] 】

The golden treasure chest is suspended in midair.

The surface does not have any texture.

The road to simplicity, like a gold chain, is universal no matter what era.

Li Kang glanced at the prize pool:

[Maradona "King" module (legend)! 】

[Bailey's "First Born" module (legendary)!] 】

【Da Luo "Super Alien" Module (Legend)!】 】

[Zidane's "Absolute Superstar" Module (Legend)! 】

[Götze's "Strike of Destiny" module. 】

【. 】

[The World Cup beats Argentina head-on, and the probability is tilted. 】

[The Legendary Treasure Chest is being opened, congratulations on obtaining: Maradona's "King" module!] 】

['Great Nine and a Half' achievement unlocked!] 】

Li Kang's memory has one legendary phantom after another.

Italy jersey.

France jersey.

All kinds of negative emotions are wildly intertwined, and finally when the blue and white Argentina No. 10 condenses, it is swept away, and it is replaced by a momentum that looks down on all beings!

A moment later.

Li Kang regained his composure, and it was difficult for his current legendary mood to affect his mentality.

Pull out your phone from your backpack.

The notification bar is densely packed with a barrage of messages.

He clicked on his email and began to scroll down.

A long, long time ago, Simeone sent "about the survival structure of the nine-and-a-half in this era".

In today's football, the man who can use the number nine and a half the most is the Atletico Madrid manager.

Rostov-on-Don.

Belgium, the top three national teams in the FIFA rankings, is in a desperate situation tonight!

In the 24th minute of the game, Lukaku faced the empty goal, kicked in the air, and the football hit the back of the calf supporting the foot, and then was cleared by the Japanese defender's big foot, Lukaku smirked and gave the first praise of the game.

In the 47th minute of the game, Genki Haraguchi volleyed into the far corner!

Japan 1:0 Belgium.

The island nation's first goal in the history of the World Cup knockout round!

Shock the world!

Could it be that the shocking upset of the World Cup knockout round is about to be born?

Spinach's handicap was 3/3.5 for Belgium, and Japan scored first?

Belgian fans couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

Followed by.

In the 48th minute, Eden Hazard hit the post.

In the 51st minute of the game, Qianguishi fired a long-range shot, and the Japanese team expanded the score, 2:0!!

Audiences all over the world were stunned.

Is there a big seed in a small day?

Courtois complained to his teammates. After a moment, he looked at the scoreboard in mid-air, feeling a little desperate, and couldn't help but think ahead: where to go on vacation after being eliminated.

64th minute.

Belgium used two substitutions in one go, sending Fellaini and Shadley, who are more than 1.9 meters tall!

There are no ground tactics to speak of!

Crazy high-altitude bombing!

68th minute, Vertonghen! Header, 2:1!

In the 73rd minute, Fellaini! Header, 2:2!

This is the tactic of coach Martinez, using a Belgian big man of more than 1.9 meters to play a Japanese defender of 1.7 meters.

Brainless and efficient!

The coach of the Japanese team, Nishino Lang, was not beaten off the fighting spirit: don't put the bus, continue to fight against each other!

The 93rd minute of the game.

Keisuke Honda sends in a corner kick that Courtois easily picks off.

Belgium won't let the game go to extra time, Courtois saw De Bruyne at a glance and didn't hesitate to throw the ball over!

Cuckold Connection!

De Bruyne splits sides.

Meunier crosses.

Lukaku missed.

Shazri, who followed up at the back point, pushed the goal!

2:3！！！

14 seconds to counterattack, lore!

Belgium chased three goals in a row, shattering Xiao Ri's dream of qualifying!

Heaven and Hell.

Japanese coach - Nishino Lang, kneeling on his knees, his clenched fists trembling uncontrollably.

The little day fans in the stands, tears flowed for 94 minutes, they experienced hope and despair!

A young boy from an island country cried: "Mr. Okada, are we eliminated?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and comforted, "It's okay, we'll be back in four years." ”

"14 seconds. The Belgian shattered our hopes in 14 seconds. ”

"However, these 14 seconds are not darkness, but a beam of light that illuminates the way forward!"

"We will reflect and learn from it, and Japanese football will become stronger!"

The Belgian players come together.

Lukaku confidently patted De Bruyne on the shoulder: "How did I leak? Against Spain in the quarter-finals, I won't be soft. ”

The corners of De Bruyne's mouth twitched: "Lukaku wasted four chances tonight.

Hazard quickly regained his composure and slipped into the dressing room.

When he realised that Spain were against Spain in the quarter-finals, Courtois was a different man and he wanted to prove to the world that Chelsea had made the wrong choice by sending themselves to the development squad last season.

July 4th.

The round of 16 of the World Cup is over.

One news piece after another occupies the front page of major online media.

"Li Kang shines in Kazan, Spain 3:1 Argentina. 》

Cavani descends to earth, Uruguay 2:1 Portugal. 》
