The score of 3:2 made Argentina people become impatient.
There are still about 3 minutes at most before the end of the first half, plus injury time.
However, the consumption time of Dragon-Vigor Card for Li Mingyu has come.
Li Mingyu seems to hear a voice.
"Sir, your service has expired. Would you like to extend the service?"
In an instant, Li Mingyu felt as if his body had been hollowed out, and his legs felt as heavy as lead.
Paredes in front of him saw Li Mingyu's "dying" look, and he couldn't help but cursed in his heart. Damn, you still want to lie!
Li Mingyu felt the previous pain again, as if he had fallen from heaven to hell.
The breath coming out of his stuffy chest seemed to burn his nasal cavity.
Waves of sweat broke out from his forehead and back.
The nauseating dizziness made Li Mingyu frown once again.
At the last moment of the first half, Argentina National Team frequently launched a powerful attack on Spain's back line.
Although Li Mingyu was unable to defend, wherever he went, the opponent's players did not dare to challenge him easily. Even Messi quickly kicked the ball out when he saw Li Mingyu coming.
Under the "fake power" of Li Mingyu, Argentina National Team failed to seize the opportunity to equalize the score at the last moment of the first half.
With the head coach's whistle, the first half of the game was over.
Li Mingyu stood there, gasping for air. He felt that his body was about to collapse.
Pedri ran over from the side, put a hand on Li Mingyu's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Li, your performance in the first half was great. Remember to pass the ball to me in the second half. Don't be biased!"
Li Mingyu was overwhelmed by Pedri's enthusiasm and whispered, "Pedri, stop pressing me, give me a hand!"
Pedri saw that Li Mingyu didn't look like he was faking it. He was so frightened that he quickly put Li Mingyu's arm around his neck, supported Li Mingyu's waist, and asked, "Li, what's wrong with you? The way I looked at you just now, isn't it already fine?"
Enrique off the court had been waiting for Li Mingyu and wanted to ask about his situation. Seeing this scene, Enrique was so frightened that he quickly waved to the team doctor, and the two of them hurriedly ran to Li Mingyu's side.
"Li, how's it going?"
Enrique asked eagerly.
Not far away, Messi had already left the field. When he heard the commotion behind him, he turned around and frowned.
Li Mingyu looked at the head coach and whispered, "I'm a little exhausted!"
After a simple examination and inquiry, the team doctor nodded and said, "I'm a little dehydrated. Hurry to the lounge and add some water and nutrition. It's best not to play in the second half!"
Li Mingyu nodded, but didn't take the team doctor's last words to heart.
Amid the applause of the fans, the two young men Pedri and Fati helped Li Mingyu step by step into the players' tunnel.
Back in the lounge, Li Mingyu was sitting on a chair, sweating profusely and his face was pale. The team doctor next to him was preparing a nutritional solution for him.
Enrique has also informed Li Mingyu not to play in the second half.
But although Li Mingyu was very weak, his eyes firmly told Enrique that he had to play in the second half. The score of 3:2 was really not reassuring.
Enrique did not ask Li Mingyu about the reason for Li Mingyu's sudden outburst at the end of the first half. Both he and the team doctor attributed it to Li Mingyu's sudden outburst of mental perseverance, which allowed him to regain some form in a short period of time.
Li Mingyu sat there and ate some applesauce to quickly replenish the nutrients in his body.
The team doctor also prepared a lot of juice and body drinks for Li Mingyu to replenish the water and electrolytes in his body.
During this halftime break, Li Mingyu did not participate in the technical and tactical arrangements. With the help of the team doctor, he tried his best to restore his exhausted physical strength as quickly as possible.
Professional recovery methods made Li Mingyu feel as if his body had received some relief.
The heavy sweating in the first half also had great benefits for Li Mingyu's body. The accelerated metabolism made Li Mingyu's cold much better.
The team doctor was a little surprised at Li Mingyu's recovery speed, and said in surprise, "Li, your body temperature has dropped a bit now. Although you still have some fever, it is already under control!"
Li Mingyu had a look of joy on his face. He actually felt that his dizziness was not that severe anymore. Although he still felt waves of dizziness when shaking his head, it was much better than when he was on the court.
After Enrique arranged the tactics for the second half, he came over and learned the news, and he was very happy.
Because he knows that the current Spain National Team basically relies on the leadership of Li Mingyu on both offense and defense.
Li Mingyu, Spain National Team are two completely different teams, the gap between the top team and the second-rate team.
When they learned that Li Mingyu was in good health, all Spain National Team's teammates also cheered happily.
The status of Li Mingyu is just like the barometer of Spain National Team.
At the beginning of the first half, although Li Mingyu worked very hard to organize the offense, his teammates all knew that Li Mingyu was in poor physical condition, so many players had a lot of concerns.
After Li Mingyu used Dragon-Vigor Card, he regained his condition, which immediately made these teammates feel relieved.
Two consecutive goals led to the lead, and at the last moment, the defense withstood Argentina National Team's continuous attacks and kept the goal.
These are all changes brought about by Li Mingyu alone.
Now that we know that Li Mingyu has almost recovered, everyone's hearts have finally stabilized.
Things in the locker room are kept secret.
Because Li Mingyu was helped off the field by his teammates just after the first half, this aroused the concern of all the commentators and fans watching the game.
During the halftime break, each TV station simply commented on the five goals in the first half and then began to analyze Li Mingyu's status today.
"Li's state today is a little strange. When the show started, it was obvious that there seemed to be something wrong with Li's body!"
"Yes, this is not a general lack of condition. It is probably a physical problem. When the camera shows a close-up view, we can see that something is wrong with Li's face and his eyes are a little unfocused. Please look at the sweat on Li's head. This is just the beginning. Li has already sweated so much. It is obvious that there is something wrong with his body!"
"Wow, this reminds me of the French Night in 1998, the strange Ronaldo incident. That year, before the final, Ronaldo killed everyone, during the final, it was like a different person, with no condition at all. As a result, France National Team won the championship without any bloodshed. Even today, the Ronaldo incident is still controversial."
"Could it be that Li Mingyu, like Ronaldo, was attacked by unpredictable mysterious events?"
"I have to say that Li Mingyu's state is very strange. At the beginning, we can see that his physical condition is very poor. Even when fighting against the opponent, he has been at a disadvantage. But in the last fifteen minutes, Li Mingyu seemed to have regained his senses. A long-distance run and a magical pass all proved his return to form. However, at the end of the first half, he became weak again. We have no way to explain this weird physical change!"
"We can only see if Li Mingyu can return to normal in the second half."
"I hope the players from both sides can give everyone a more exciting second half of the game."
Li Mingyu walked out of the lounge and slowly walked into the players' tunnel.
"Lee!"
Li Mingyu heard someone calling him, and looked up strangely. At the corner of the player tunnel, Messi looked at him with a worried look.
Li Mingyu walked over with a smile and said, "Leo!"
Messi looked at Li Mingyu with some worry, covered his mouth with his hand, and asked, "Li, what's wrong with you, are you sick?"
Looking at the camera next to the two of them, Li Mingyu did not answer directly. Instead, he came over, put his arm around Messi's shoulders, and whispered in his ear, "It's nothing serious!"
After hearing this, Messi showed a happy smile and said, "That's good, I won't be polite to you in the second half!"
Looking at the high-spirited Messi, Li Mingyu laughed and said, "Then just come over here!"
Messi and Li Mingyu walked out of the player tunnel one after the other.
Players from both sides returned to the court. The referee looked at his watch and blew the whistle for the kick-off of the second half on time.
Li Mingyu did feel much better on the court. However, in the first half, Li Mingyu's physical strength had been lost due to sweating. In the second half, Li Mingyu didn't know how long he could fight.
In the second half, Argentina National Team's offensive became even more fierce, falling behind by one goal, leaving them with no choice but to give it a try.
Spain National Team's tactic in the second half is defensive counterattack.
Morata and Fati will only leave one person standing near the midfield, always ready for a quick counterattack.
Li Mingyu has been recovered to the thirty-meter area.
Although Spain National Team's defense line has been crushed very flat, it is still very layered.
Messi's several breakthroughs put a lot of pressure on Spain National Team's defense.
The 35-year-old Messi is still very fast. Often, two Spain National Team defensive players cannot stop him.
Every time, as long as Messi gets the ball, Spain National Team's defense will be like a formidable enemy. At least three players will face Messi, always ready to surround him.
"Du--"
With a crisp whistle, the referee ran over and pointed his arm in the direction of the goal.
Messi was sitting on the ground, adjusting his shin guards.
Rodri appealed to the referee with an innocent face. He did not commit a foul just now. This was a normal physical confrontation!
But in the slow motion, it is obvious that Rodri was pulling and pulling behind Messi. Finally, without clear instructions, Messi was directly put to the ground.
The referee was not polite and directly showed Rodri a topaz War God card, telling Rodri to shut up and leave.
The position of this direct free kick is very comfortable for Messi. It is a position slightly to the right of the goal, which is most suitable for Messi's left foot.
Messi picked up the football, placed it gently in the circle drawn by the referee, stepped hard on the turf next to the football, then took two steps back, put his hands on his hips, and waited for the referee's whistle.
Spain National Team's goalkeeper De Gea is very nervous. He knows that Messi's free kick skills are definitely not as good as Li Mingyu's.
Four Spain players were arranged to make the wall.
De Gea shouted loudly, letting the wall block the near corner as much as possible. Until he could no longer see the football when he was close to the goal post, De Gea stopped the wall.
De Gea returned to the center of the goal. After thinking about it, he moved slightly to his right side.
Since the near corner was completely blocked, De Gea judged that Messi might hit a far corner, so he made some mental preparations.
The referee once again warned the players on both sides who were fighting in the penalty area, telling them to be careful not to do anything offensive.
Messi stood behind the football, looking at the wall and the goalkeeper's position firmly with his eyes, and his brain was making crazy judgments about how best to kick this free kick.
Li Mingyu is one of the people in the wall. He is standing on the right side of the center.
Li Mingyu used his left hand to cover his face and his right hand against his body to cover his vital parts, looking at Messi with burning eyes.
The referee blew the whistle, Messi touched his nose, his eyes became stern, and he started to run.
After three steps, Messi came to the front of the football. He raised his golden left foot and hit the football hard.
With a "bang" sound, the football was kicked directly to the top of the wall by Messi.
The players in the wall are jumping high, hoping to block the ball with their bodies.
As a result, the football hit Li Mingyu and bounced high in the penalty area.
De Gea quickly ran out of the penalty area, jumped high, and held the ball in his arms.
Li Mingyu was also hit by the force of the impact and fell to the ground on his back.
De Gea did not dare to neglect and threw the ball out of bounds directly, and came to Li Mingyu to see if he was injured.
However, Messi waved his hand to the referee with some excitement, indicating that Li Mingyu had just handed the ball in the penalty area.
At this time, the referee stretched out his left hand, pressed his headset, and made a gesture to quiet Messi with his other hand.
In the head referee's headset, he has received the advice of the video assistant referee.
"There are indeed some problems with the ball just now, and the referee needs to come to the sidelines to make a judgment in person!"
When the referee heard this, he made a gesture, indicating that he should go to the sidelines to watch the video replay, and then make the correct penalty for the ball just now!
