Spain's free kick chance.
Near the sideline, it was not easy for Li Mingyu to shoot directly, so he chose to pass the ball.
If there are fans who are familiar with Beckham, they will definitely see that the movements of Li Mingyu are very familiar.
After the run-up was over, Li Mingyu came to the side of the football and stepped hard on the left side of the football with his left foot.
The left foot is tilted 45 degrees to the ground.
At that moment, Li Mingyu felt his left foot let out an overwhelmed wail.
Li Mingyu endured the discomfort and raised his left arm high, making an angle of 90 degrees with his body.
And his right arm is deliberately pressed down to form a certain angle with his leg, ensuring that his upper body and legs have a larger angle, which can allow the football to obtain a greater arc and initial speed.
It was too late, but it was too soon. After Li Mingyu's right foot swung back high, it swung rapidly and kicked the football hard, giving the football a very large initial speed.
Li Mingyu's right leg did not stop after kicking the ball, but continued to swing forward. Finally, his right foot almost kicked his left thigh, and then he completed the entire action.
This is not the first time that Li Mingyu has completely copied Beckham's Banana Kick.
However, every time I see it, I feel that Li Mingyu's entire movements are so coordinated.
However, only Li Mingyu knew how severely damaged his left ankle had been.
With the increase in signings at the stadium, Li Mingyu's current physical fitness is already very good, but the ankle is the most vulnerable part of the player's body, and it is difficult to quickly strengthen it during training.
Beckham is also a combination of extraordinary talent and hard training, which allowed his left foot to adapt to his movements.
In fact, this is like many martial arts schools. The founder created a unique skill based on his own physical condition. The reason why later generations cannot integrate it is not because the later generations don't work hard, but because this martial arts was developed for people with this kind of physical condition.
So until now, Knuckleball, Elevator Ball, Power Free Kick, all have many postgraduates, and they all performed well, but only Banana Kick of Beckham, only Li Mingyu can copy it.
Li Mingyu After passing the ball, he watched the trajectory of the football intently.
The football took a powerful arc and rushed to the midway between the small penalty area line and the penalty spot.
This ball makes the goalkeeper very uncomfortable. Let's attack. There is not enough time. If we don't attack, we can only stand in the small penalty area and wait.
The moment Li Mingyu passed the ball, players on both sides of the penalty area began to fight for a dominant position.
However, as if football had eyes, it immediately found the player Spain National Team in the crowd.
Morata made a very beautiful leap to the top, throwing himself out, his eyes widened, and his forehead hit the football hard.
With the terrified expression on goalkeeper Alisson's face, the football passed through his helplessly waving arms and entered Brazil National Team's gate.
3:0, in the 40 minutes of the first half, Spain National Team scored another goal to expand the score again.
This goal made the fans wearing yellow five-star Brazil National Team uniforms in the stands completely silent.
The television camera captured a scene that immediately moved the whole world.
Among the Brazil National Team fan camp in the stands, there are two fans who are very eye-catching.
I don't know if anyone still remembers that in the game of Brazil World Cup in 2014, when Brazil National Team lost to Germany National Team 1:7, in the stands, there was a bearded old man wearing a cowboy hat and crying sadly while holding a model of FIFA World Cup Trophy.
That old man's name is Clovis Acosta Fernandez.
Since 1990, he has gone to the scene to cheer for his beloved home team Brazil National Team in every World Series. Since 1990, he has followed Brazil National Team and participated in a total of 7 World Cup and 6 Copa America, 4th Confederations Cup and 1st Olympic Games visited a total of 66 countries and watched 154 games. Therefore, Fernandez is called the twelfth person of Brazil National Team.
In 2014, he left the photo that moved the whole world.
Fernandez hugged his beloved FIFA World Cup Trophy with a desperate look on his face, and the helplessness in his tear-filled eyes was heartbreaking.
After the game, Fernandez gave the FIFA World Cup Trophy in his hand to a Germany female fan, and said, "Take it to the finals! I'm very sad, but you deserve this, congratulations."
But what people don't know is that the old man has been fighting cancer for 9 years.
On September 16, 2015, he passed away due to illness at the age of 60. When the news came out, fans all over the world felt sad that they had lost such an outstanding fan representative.
However, in the stands of World Cup in 2018, the familiar championship cowboy hat of Fernandez and the model of FIFA World Cup Trophy appeared again in Russia.
The elder brother Frank and the younger brother Gustavo are the two sons of the old man.
Frank said, "We brought my father's trophy and hat. This is the seventh time I have watched World Cup. Now I have watched it as many times as my father."
He also introduced that his younger brother Gustavo has watched World Cup 4 times and they will continue this journey.
In this year's Qatar World Cup, as long as there is a Brazil National Team game, these two people will appear in the stands.
This game is no exception.
Brother Frank is holding FIFA World Cup Trophy. His expression is exactly the same as his father's expression back then.
The helplessness and sadness in his eyes make people moved.
Next to him, his younger brother Gustavo, wearing a championship cowboy hat, was also leaning on the chair powerlessly, with red and swollen eyes that made people look at him unbearably.
This is the most representative scene among Brazil National Team fans.
Brazil National Team fans all stopped playing because they had no hope of winning.
Our own star player Neymar has completely lost the spirituality of Samba football, looking forward and backward, and being submissive.
In contrast, Spain National Team and Li Mingyu are like the newborn sun, shining brightly.
The fans of Spain are extremely happy, they are only 45 minutes away from the final of World Cup.
Shortly after the goal, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
Spain fans' deafening cheers.
Brazil fans are as silent as a cemetery.
It seems like time has come to the semi-finals of World Cup in 2014.
It is also the semi-finals. Many Brazil fans pessimistically believe that today, we will face another disastrous defeat?
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the stands.
"Neymar, Neymar, Neymar--"
I don't know who shouted first, but slowly, all the Brazil fans stood up and cast their eyes on the figure who lowered his head and slowly walked towards the players' tunnel.
Hearing this shout, the player wearing the No. 10 Brazil National Team jersey raised his head, his face full of doubts.
Neymar After the first half of the game, his mind went blank. The first half of the game had a huge impact on him.
In the 2014 semi-finals, Neymar was seriously injured and did not participate. He learned the news of losing to Germany National Team 1:7 on his hospital bed.
Although he was shocked, Neymar had not been able to experience the despair personally, so he did not know what it felt like.
But today, he truly realized what despair, helplessness, and bewilderment meant.
He felt that Li Mingyu existed like a mountain, lying in front of him. He desperately found that facing Li Mingyu, he might not be able to surpass him in his life.
Self-blame, regret, sadness, despair...
Negative emotions surrounded Neymar like a tide.
Dejected, he slowly walked off the court, with a slightly sad back and staggering steps. The distance of tens of meters from the court to the players' tunnel felt like a century had passed for Neymar.
Neymar feels like he is heading towards the abyss, and the darkness is swallowing up his confidence bit by bit.
For the first time, Neymar thought of leaving football.
Fuck football dreams.
But, at this moment.
"Neymar--"
"Neymar--"
"Neymar--"
A sincere cry pulled Neymar back from the endless abyss.
A glimmer of light appeared in Neymar's eyes, and slowly, the light dispelled all the haze in his eyes.
Neymar looked up at the stands with surprise.
That dazzling golden color, those hot and expectant eyes, suddenly hit Neymar's heart like lightning.
Neymar couldn't help but reach out and cover his heart. He felt that his heart seemed to be injected with vitality and began to beat firmly.
"I don't play football just for myself. I also have teammates, coaches, and fans. I also have..."
Neymar looked down at the position he was covering. He slowly took his hand away, and the five five-pointed stars shining with green light seemed to emit bright light.
Pele, Romario, Ronaldo,...
These Brazil National Team heroes who helped Brazil National Team World Cup win the championship appeared one by one in front of Neymar.
In Samba football, you can lose, but you can't admit defeat!
Neymar's mouth suddenly showed a bright smile.
This smile is as dazzling as the scorching sun of Qatar.
Amid the cheers of Brazil fans in the audience, Neymar held his head high, raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and waved his arm.
In an instant, all the Brazil fans gave out huge cheers again.
It's not time to admit defeat yet, there are still forty-five minutes left, and anything can happen.
The Spain National Team players who had returned to the locker room suddenly heard bursts of cheers coming from outside, and looked at each other in confusion.
Li Mingyu is sitting on a chair, and the team doctor is conducting various examinations on his body, especially on his left ankle.
This was requested by Enrique.
When he saw Li Mingyu's kick Banana Kick, Enrique's eyes never left Li Mingyu's left foot.
At that time, Li Mingyu was less than five meters away from Enrique and took the free kick. No one could see the twist of Li Mingyu's left foot more clearly than Enrique.
Enrique felt a burst of soreness in his teeth. With his ankle twisted to such a degree, all the strength of his body was acting on this twisted ankle. As long as there was a slight problem, Enrique couldn't imagine the tragic consequences.
Therefore, as soon as the first half of the game ended, Enrique immediately asked the team doctor to take Li Mingyu back to the locker room for inspection. As long as some problems were found, Enrique was ready to make substitutions in the second half.
For Enrique, Li Mingyu's health comes first.
Although he wants World Cup to be the champion, he will never bet with Li Mingyu's body.
However, after careful examination by the team doctor, Li Mingyu's ankle did not have any problems.
Due to his super physical fitness, although Li Mingyu cannot use Banana Kick frequently, using it once in a while will not have much impact on his ankles.
Enrique and his Spain National Team players all heard the cheers outside, but they didn't take it to heart.
The score of 3:0 is basically stable.
Brazil National Team At the end of the first half, he had no intention of fighting.
Especially their core player Neymar has no desire to attack on the court.
Facing such a team with no fighting spirit, Enrique felt that in the second half of the game, he could let more players play for exercise.
"Li, you have about fifteen minutes in the second half. I only have one request for you, don't get hurt."
After Enrique finished explaining the tactical arrangements for the second half, he specifically said something to Li Mingyu.
Before World Cup, Li Mingyu's protection level was already S level, but today, Li Mingyu is already the player whose name has been left in the history of World Cup, and the level of protection for him must be the highest.
Li Mingyu nodded seriously. For him, he has now reached the semi-finals, and there are only forty-five minutes left before the final. There are many top players who have never been able to participate in a World Cup final in their lives, let alone the World Cup championship.
If he is unable to participate in the World Cup finals due to injury, then it will be an unspeakable regret for him.
Looking at Li Mingyu with a serious look on his face, Enrique nodded, applauded vigorously, and said, "Gentlemen, there are still forty-five minutes until the final of World Cup. I hope everyone will not let down their guard. The score of 3:0 is not a safe score for a football match. Miracle of Istanbul, I don't want them to happen to you!"
All Spain players smiled.
Liverpool said, damn!
Everyone took out their right hands, gathered together, and shouted loudly, "Spain, we are the champions, we are the champions, we are the champions!"
