Dear Gua
Chapter 47 The Little Days' Wild Ambitions (Combined)
After passing the ball back to Li Kang from the center circle kickoff, he sprinted towards the Japanese team's half.
Li Kang touched the ball once and passed it to the overlapping Bellerín.
After Denis went off, it was difficult for the Spanish national team's midfield to play static triangular passing and control.
Bellerín accelerated instantly after receiving the ball, rudely brushing past Minamino Takumi.
He sprinted wildly down the wing!
Other Spanish teammates were also quickly moving forward.
Faced with Nagatomo Yuto's interception, the Arsenal talent decisively passed the ball to the center.
Deulofeu leaned to the side, and Ito Junya and Kashiwagi Yosuke, who were trying to double-team, missed.
The football rolled towards Li Kang's left foot.
From a God's-eye view.
Morata's run was extremely elusive.
Li Kang pushed the ball forward!
The football rolled quickly along the grass.
Piercing through the Japanese team's defense!
Del Bosque cheered excitedly.
Halilhodžić couldn't help but want to applaud.
"Beautiful!"
"Another scalpel-like through ball! It has become Li Kang's signature skill!"
"Morata completely crushed Makino Tomoaki! The top striker from Juventus is simply a dimension reduction strike against the J-League's local defender!"
"Can he seize this one-on-one opportunity?"
...
Li Kang had no idea which foot Morata usually used.
He couldn't tell from the team training matches either.
Morata claimed to be right-footed.
But it was impossible to tell.
Just as Morata received the ball, his sprinting speed suddenly slowed down.
Makino Tomoaki and Yoshida Maya quickly caught up, trying to clear the ball.
The audience thought the Spanish forward would use his strong body to squeeze the Japanese away like Li Kang.
Who would have thought.
The football was poked towards the right side of the edge of the penalty area...
Morata staggered and fell to the ground. After falling, he didn't forget to give Li Kang a thumbs up.
Del Bosque's mouth twitched.
Miniano had a dark expression.
This guy looks so strong, what a waste.
"..."
"Although Morata is 1.89 meters tall, he is not very good at physical confrontation. Yoshida Maya is, after all, a key defender for Southampton in the Premier League."
"If it were Torres or Villa..."
"There's another attacking opportunity! The Japanese team is in danger!"
...
Deulofeu suddenly moved forward, took the ball smoothly, and entered the Japanese team's penalty area.
Shusaku Nishikawa adjusted his position in small steps, blocking the Spanish youngster's shooting angle!
On the other side, Morata got up!
His starting speed wasn't slow!
He was very good at finding space in the penalty area.
Yoshida and Makino's defensive thinking was not unified, and they didn't cut off the passing line!
Deulofeu decisively passed the ball across!
"This pass is beautiful!"
"Empty net!"
"Morata!"
Japanese fans were extremely nervous!
Del Bosque couldn't help but stand up from the coach's bench.
A sense of powerlessness surged in Halilhodžić's heart!
The happy bean fans in the live broadcast room excitedly pounded the table.
This was a guaranteed goal!
My eighty-year-old grandmother could kick the ball into the goal with a casual tap!
In everyone's eyes.
Morata turned around gracefully.
Facing away from the goal!
He raised his foot!
And swung it back sharply!
The football happened to land under his foot!
Thump!
A heavy heel flick!
The football... rolled out of bounds....
Ajinomoto Stadium suddenly fell silent.
Not a sound could be heard.
Miniano's celebration froze halfway.
Del Bosque's beard trembled with anger.
Shusaku Nishikawa and Maya Yoshida breathed a sigh of relief, slapped hands, and encouraged each other.
Halilhodžić laughed.
...
Dragon Country live broadcast room.
Duan Xuan and He Wei tried their best to control their emotions and tone.
They had received professional training and would not laugh easily.
"..."
"He missed an empty net."
"It was obvious that he could have easily pushed the ball in to change the score. Why did Morata have to choose to use his heel to score?"
"What a pity."
The barrage was full of joy.
-[Leverkusen's team report said that Li Kang is balanced on both feet, so Morata must be the "God of Two Left Feet"! ]
-[His left foot is no good, and his right foot is no good either! ]
-[When he shoots with his left foot, his right foot is his dominant foot, and when he shoots with his right foot, his left foot is his dominant foot! ]
-[Morata was awesome in the Champions League last season! He scored against Real Madrid and Barcelona in succession. Why is he so bad against a little Japanese team? No physical confrontation, no shooting skills.]
-[You can tell by looking at his performance in the league. When he's in good form, he's unstoppable, but when he's in bad form, he's at the level of the national football team.]
-[It's a bit dangerous. Have you seen the J-League? The league with the most last-minute goals in the world! The Japanese team won't give up until the last moment of the game! ]
...
Morata put his hands on his hips and spat.
He gave Deulofeu a thumbs up.
Then, clapping his hands, he slowly left the penalty area.
The Japanese fans woke up: they were most familiar with this scene when watching the AFC Champions League.
They waved flags and shouted, beating drums to encourage their teammates to counterattack.
Shusaku Nishikawa loudly encouraged his teammates and took a goal kick.
The game continued.
...
Morata wasn't completely useless.
His role as a support point in the frontcourt was obvious, and although he couldn't handle Yoshida Maya.
But it was still easy to bully Ito Junya and Kashiwagi Yosuke.
Therefore, the number of passes in the team was greatly reduced.
The Spanish team quickly pressed the Japanese team into the penalty area.
A frantic siege.
Morata's runs were extremely threatening, and whether he was moving forward or pulling to the wings, he made the Japanese team's defense tremble with fear.
"The Spanish forward is gradually finding his feel for the game."
"He's very lethal in the frontcourt!"
"Beautiful! Another wonderful pass from Li Kang!"
"Morata! He's shooting!"
"Oh no! What a pity!"
The Japanese team's morale gradually rose.
They didn't think a 0:2 score was too scary. Scoring two or three goals in the last ten minutes was a scenario that played out every round in the J-League and A-League!
Spain can no longer rely on passing and control to control the game!
This is our chance!
...
The game passed minute by minute.
Li Kang and Deulofeu kept feeding him chances.
Morata kept missing chances.
The Spanish team had the advantage but couldn't score.
Although they were two goals ahead.
But it was too uncomfortable to always waste guaranteed goals.
Miniano felt like ants were crawling all over his body.
Del Bosque sighed helplessly. He suddenly missed Torres in 2008 and Villa in 2010.
...
"The Tokyo night in late September is bleak."
De Gea stood outside his own penalty area, feeling inexplicably sentimental.
Suddenly.
He saw a football whistling through the air!
...
"Morata's shot was caught in Nishikawa Shusaku's arms, and the Japanese team is launching a quick counterattack!"
"Minamino Takumi!"
"He's going for a long shot! Oh no! De Gea is not the Neuer type of goalkeeper, his positioning..."
Minamino Takumi received a pass from his teammate near the center circle.
Faced with Rongier's interception.
He looked up to observe the opponent's goalkeeper's position and decisively chose to shoot!
A long shot from the center circle!
The football plummeted into the Spanish penalty area!
Japanese fans went crazy!
They never thought their own players could also kick a Beckham-style wonder goal!
Halilhodžić waved his fist excitedly!
Miniano panicked!
Del Bosque on the coach's bench was still calm, he knew the characteristics of the national team's goalkeepers very well.
...
De Gea was very calm.
The trajectory and landing point were completely under his control.
He quickly turned around and returned to the penalty area with his long legs!
He stomped hard on the grass with his left foot, jumped high, and easily plucked the ball!
His movement speed wasn't as fast as Neuer's.
But his reaction arc of 0.18 seconds was comparable to lightning.
"What a scare!"
"As expected of Van der Sar's successor!"
"De Gea defused this crisis with ease!"
"Oh no! He didn't slow down the pace!"
"A powerful throw!"
...
After landing, De Gea ran forward violently.
His body stretched back gracefully.
He held the ball in his right hand.
His left leg slammed down.
Like a javelin thrower in the Olympics.
The football was like a cannonball!
Drawing an exaggerated arc in the sky above Ajinomoto Stadium!
It slammed hard into the Japanese team's backfield!
Li Kang only glanced back and grasped the landing point of the football.
From a God's-eye view.
The Japanese team's formation, preparing to counterattack, was in complete chaos!
Although his explosive speed wasn't fast.
But his starting time was earlier than all the Japanese players!
Halilhodžić quickly directed his teammates to retreat and defend!
Unfortunately, it was too late!
Li Kang happened to appear at the landing point of the football, flicked it with his back heel, turned around, and charged towards the Japanese team's penalty area!
"A one-on-one opportunity!"
"De Gea's powerful throw! Li Kang's vision and awareness are too strong!"
"Can he score?"
In Ajinomoto Stadium, the Japanese fans in the four stands were inexplicably excited.
For some reason, as long as Li Kang, this Chinese, this Asian, got the ball.
They would be excited in their bones...
What the Dragon Country people can do!
We Japanese can also imitate!
...
Shusaku Nishikawa did not hesitate and decisively attacked.
He couldn't let the Chinese kid complete a hat-trick!
He not only wanted to defend the Japanese team's goal but also defend the glory of the J-League!
Li Kang's speed wasn't fast.
In the past, at the Leverkusen training base, Son Heung-min had taught him many change-of-direction skills and experiences.
But facing the key goalkeeper of the Belgian powerhouse.
He knew that his current dribbling ability was not enough to shake off the opponent.
...
Miniano squatted on the grass, he wasn't holding out any hope:
In the two days of training matches, Li Kang hadn't shown any dribbling ability at all. Now that the shooting angle was blocked, would he use another powerful shot to smash the ball into the face of the Japanese goalkeeper?
But Del Bosque and Halilhodžić had very consistent expressions.
The two of them stared intently at the Chinese on the field.
Their eyes could not hide their anticipation!
...
In a daze.
Just as Shusaku Nishikawa closed the distance and was about to defuse the one-on-one opportunity.
Countless fragments flashed through Li Kang's mind.
The back of the white-clothed number 7 flashed by.
The football lightly left his left foot.
Rising sharply at an incredible speed.
Shusaku Nishikawa looked confused.
Maintaining his diving posture, he watched helplessly as the football flew over his head!
Then quickly descended!
Landing near the twelve-yard mark in the small penalty area!
Then it bounced into the goal!
0:3!!!
The whole stadium cheered!
"Goal!"
"Hat-trick! Hat-trick!"
"A perfect national team debut!"
"The Chinese youngster, Li Kang! Has delivered the most perfect answer sheet for the first match of his national team career!"
"There is no suspense!"
"De Gea's powerful throw assist! Li Kang's chip shot scores! Spain has killed the game!"
Dragon Country live broadcast room.
The barrage went crazy.
-[Damn, Li Mingdeng is awesome, the rules of the J-League don't work on him at all! ]
-[Hat-trick in the first game representing the national team, and against the Japanese team's European-based main defense, awesome!]
-[Don't you know that when we Dragon Country people play against the Japanese, we get a bloodline ability bonus?]
-[This midfielder doesn't like to assist! Haha!]
-[Nonsense, if Morata hadn't missed so many chances, Li Kang wouldn't have taken a shot himself.]
-[De Gea is also fierce! Still making powerful throws when leading by two goals!]
...
Morata excitedly hugged Li Kang from behind.
Lifting him high.
Why is this guy so strong when celebrating?
His teammates surrounded him.
Lifting Li Kang high!
Japanese fans were also hysterically shouting the Dragon descendant's name!
"Lee!!!"
"Lee!!!"
"Lee!!!"
Miniano didn't recover for a long time.
Del Bosque raised both fists, his big belly shaking non-stop... He was very happy and also very troubled.
The Spanish national team simply didn't know how to use the Dragon descendant kid!
Does anyone have instructions?
Does old man Topp from Leverkusen have instructions?
In the distance.
Halilhodžić was filled with mixed emotions.
He was very angry that the team was three goals behind, but he also appreciated Li Kang's performance.
Conflicting feelings.
...
Shusaku Nishikawa buried his head in the grass, unwilling to look up for a long time.
Like a frightened ostrich.
He could only use this method to hide his guilt.
Minamino Takumi was trembling all over.
Through this game, he knew that the gap between himself and the European super geniuses was very, very large...
What was even more frightening was that Li Kang was Chinese.
He had tried his best in this game and couldn't create any attacking opportunities, but Li Kang easily completed a hat-trick.
He couldn't help but recall the provocations against Dragon Country a few days ago... the words he had said in front of the media reporters...
...
Beep! Beep beep~
Finally.
The referee blew the whistle to end the game.
"What a pity, if Morata could have seized the opportunities in the second half, this game would have been a massacre!"
"Spain defeated the Japanese team 3-0!"
"We can see that the declining Matador dynasty is returning to its peak! Perhaps in the near future, this group of youngsters will be active in the European Cup and World Cup!"
Li Kang and his teammates did not leave the field immediately.
After shaking hands with the referee team.
The group walked towards a remote part of the stands.
There were hundreds of fans supporting the Spanish team.
Denis suddenly exclaimed, "God! Lee! They must be here to support you!"
Li Kang then noticed that there were familiar faces among those hundreds of Spanish fans. They were the group of international students and Chinese he saw at the airport!
Compared to the tens of thousands of Japanese fans, the cheers of these few dozen people could not reach the field at all.
...
That night.
The Japanese sports media went crazy.
《The Empire's Kirin Beast!!!》
《A Fierce Tiger's Strike!!!》
《The Chinese are Too Strong and Unreasonable!》
Li Kang's photo on the field became the headline of major newspapers.
In the reports, the media invited Japanese football celebrities to analyze the characteristics of the Chinese genius.
They praised him greatly.
Calling on youth training teams to strengthen physical confrontation!
Soon.
One report after another spread to Dragon Country and Europe.
