Just when Li Mingyu was about to arrive in front of the football, a player wearing a blue and white jersey quickly rushed out of the crowd.
However, he did not rush towards Li Mingyu, but towards the goal.
There was a loud "bang", and in the quiet stadium, the moment Li Mingyu's right foot touched the football, the huge impact sound made everyone feel sore in their teeth.
How much force was used?
Li Mingyu looked at the football that was kicked out by him and showed a satisfied smile.
Because this time, he was not simply preparing to break through the human wall with brute force.
Although such power can be maximized, in this case, Argentina's human wall will definitely grit its teeth and use its body to block it.
Therefore, Power Free Kick directly hitting the wall will not work.
Li Mingyu suddenly thought of the first time he used Power Free Kick, adding Quaresma's curve ball. As a result, he hit that shocking and powerful curve free kick, spinning from the side of the wall to avoid the blockage of the wall.
However, even the genuine Power Free Kick expert Roberto Carlos has only scored one perfect free kick in his life.
Li Mingyu also tried to replicate this kind of free kick in many games, but failed without exception.
There is no problem with technology, what is missing is actually a little luck.
But this bit of luck may prevent you from taking such an exquisite free kick in your life.
Li Mingyu When this free kick was taken, there was an inexplicable sense of confidence in his heart.
The feeling of this ball is exactly the same as the first time I used it.
The football spun, and his body brushed against the wall from his left side and crossed the wall.
At this time, goalkeeper Martinez made a mistake in judgment. He thought Li Mingyu's kick would come out of the wall, so there was a problem with his concentration.
When he saw the football spinning from the side of the wall, his legs were unable to move, and he could only watch in despair as the football flew to the other side of the goal.
At this moment, a figure in a blue and white jersey kicked the ground with both feet, made a diving jump, and blocked the path of the football with his body.
With a muffled "bang" sound, the football hit the man directly and bounced high. However, the man was hit in the air and lost his center of gravity, falling hard to the ground.
Martinez did not immediately see who saved his life, but ran over quickly and hugged the fallen football tightly in his arms.
At this time, Martinez realized that his back was completely soaked at that moment.
Escape from death!
At this time, Martinez had time to see who the benefactor who saved his life just now was!
Messi!
No. 10 of Argentina National Team, soul player Messi!
When Li Mingyu was taking a run-up just now, Messi in the crowd seemed to already know what Li Mingyu was going to do. He directly abandoned the player he wanted to defend and quickly ran back to the small penalty area.
In fact, at this moment, Messi, who moved in advance, has messed up Argentina National Team's defensive formation. If Li Mingyu did not shoot directly, but chose to pass the ball, Argentina National Team, with only three defensive players on the defense line, would be absolutely difficult to defend against Spain National Team's seven-person offensive lineup.
When Messi just ran to the edge of the small penalty area, he saw a football flying over from the other side of the wall.
Messi didn't have time to think, so he threw himself into the air and used his own flesh and blood to block Li Mingyu's shot.
Messi, who was in mid-air, felt as if his back was directly hit by a high-speed car.
The momentary impact caused Messi's brain to fall into a brief blank.
Messi was in mid-air and was hit by this powerful shot. He lost his center of gravity and fell hard to the ground.
On the court, whether it was the Argentina players or the Spain players, they were all stunned by Messi's spirit of risking one's life.
In fact, at this time, the referee should directly blow the whistle to end the game.
But he was also shocked by Messi's actions.
Among the players on both sides, only Li Mingyu reacted.
He knew how powerful his feet were, and the blow just now was definitely much harder than the one Cristiano Ronaldo received.
Li Mingyu waved to the sidelines and rushed towards Messi.
At this time, everyone seemed to have reacted.
The first person to react was the referee. He blew the whistle for the end of the game and waved to the team doctor on the sidelines to come on quickly.
This is Messi!
Argentina National Team's team doctor rushed onto the court with two big bags in his hands.
Goalkeeper Martinez stood next to Messi with a look of horror on his face, calling Messi's name loudly.
But Messi lying on the ground didn't move.
The camera looked through the crowd and landed on Messi. Messi's body didn't move at all, as if something was wrong.
Many Argentina players couldn't help but hug their heads. The whole world knows how powerful Li Mingyu's free kick is.
Messi's actions just now were clearly visible to the players on the field, except for the few players who lined up in the wall.
The football just hit the back of Messi who was flying in mid-air. Messi fell down without protection like a plane hit by a missile.
Li Mingyu rushed to Messi, knelt on the ground with one knee, gently patted Messi's shoulder, and asked anxiously, "Leo, how are you?"
"Cough cough cough..."
A series of coughing sounds came from the mouth of Messi lying on the ground.
Hearing this voice, everyone felt relieved.
Messi was hit by the ball and was knocked out of breath just now. When he fell to the ground, he was in so much pain that he could not speak.
After calming down for a while, Messi slowly opened his eyes with a very painful expression.
"That goal just now didn't go in, right?"
Messi's first sentence made Li Mingyu next to him stunned.
It's so heartbreaking, old man!
When Li Mingyu saw that Messi was okay, he smiled bitterly and said, "You blocked me!"
Saying that, Li Mingyu gave Messi a thumbs up. He is indeed my idol, so fierce.
Messi couldn't help laughing after hearing this, but the laughter quickly turned into a cough.
The team doctor rushed over, pulled Li Mingyu away, and quickly examined Messi.
Li Mingyu shrugged his shoulders, stood up, looked at the football in Martinez's arms, and shook his head helplessly.
I still haven't become a hero yet.
Li Mingyu lowered his head and glanced at Messi, who was frowning, and he became Argentina's hero.
Li Mingyu is absolutely right.
The scene where Messi risked his life to block the spotlight just now was transmitted to Argentina through live broadcast.
At that moment, the entire Argentina was in awe of Messi's heroic behavior.
At this moment, Messi became the god in the hearts of Argentina fans.
Although Messi has always been the backbone of Argentina National Team, there has always been an irreparable gap between him and the fans of Argentina.
Messi did not make his debut in the league of Argentina, he debuted in Barcelona, and he is one city in his life.
Since Messi has no experience playing in the Argentina domestic league, his background in Argentina is insufficient.
In addition, Messi's club results and national team results are simply the same, which makes Argentina fans even more dissatisfied.
In the club you are a dragon, in the national team you are a worm. If you don't want to play for the national team, just leave!
Every World Series is the saddest time for Messi.
Argentina The verbal and verbal criticism in China has exhausted him.
Fortunately, Copa America in 2020 finally made Messi's dream come true, and the result in the World Series was finally no longer zero.
This year's World Cup is also the last World Cup of Messi, the last chance to win the championship.
Today's Messi is completely different from usual, his competitive spirit has overflowed from his body.
Two goals, one indirect assist, and at the last moment, he used his own flesh and blood to block Li Mingyu's inevitable goal, forcing Spain National Team to enter overtime.
When everyone saw Messi turned over and sitting on the ground, although there was still a painful expression on his face, everyone knew that Messi was not seriously injured.
This time, everyone's admiration for Messi became even more profound.
Even Cristiano Ronaldo suffered rib fractures after receiving a powerful kick from Li Mingyu, but Messi seemed to be fine after receiving a kick from Li Mingyu.
Cristiano Ronaldo's injury at that time was entirely because he did not protect his body properly. When he turned sideways, he was directly hit in the ribs by a football, causing a bone fracture.
As for Messi, when he was jumping in the air, his muscles all over his body were tense, and he used his back to block Li Mingyu's powerful shot. Although it was very painful and made him hold his breath, after a while, it was no longer a serious problem.
Seeing that Messi was fine, the other players quickly took the time to take a break.
Because there is only a five-minute break between the ninety-minute main game and the thirty-minute overtime.
Therefore, everyone replenished water on the sidelines, and the team doctors and staff helped the players relax their muscles.
Li Mingyu had two staff members beside him to help him relax his muscles.
Li Mingyu The cold is basically gone now, but the body is still a little weak. After all, the physical loss in the first half was too serious.
After persisting for ninety minutes, Li Mingyu was almost reaching its limit.
The shot just now made Li Mingyu's thighs feel like they were going to cramp.
At this time, Li Mingyu asked the team doctor to quickly help him stretch the tendons in his left leg to prevent him from getting cramps soon when he goes on the field.
Enrique was beside Li Mingyu, asking in a low voice how Li Mingyu felt. He didn't expect that Li Mingyu could persist for such a long time.
Li Mingyu had to be replaced at the end of the first half, and until now, the whole game has been played, and Li Mingyu has no intention of leaving the field.
Li Mingyu drank the prepared nutrient solution, took a few sips, took a breath, and said with a smile, "Boss, if I am really replaced, I will not accept it!"
Looking at Li Mingyu with a soft tone but extremely firm eyes, Enrique could only sigh, patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you in overtime, bring the championship back to Spain!"
Li Mingyu nodded, his eyes filled with infinite longing.
On the other side, the Argentina National Team camp is somewhat demoralized.
Although Argentina National Team was brought back to life because of Messi's sacrifice at the last moment.
However, the disadvantage of playing with one less player, coupled with the heavy loss of physical strength, made the Argentina National Team players silent.
The head coach is constantly arranging tactical arrangements for overtime. In fact, it is still a defensive counterattack. But at this time, the head coach feels that he must say something to boost the morale of the players.
Messi walked off the court and drank a few sips of drinks to replenish the electrolytes and water lost in the body.
"Brothers, although we are missing one person now, we can't just admit defeat. In overtime, the defense will be left to you. I will play the offense. As long as you give me a chance, I can lead you to the championship!"
Suddenly, Messi said with a serious face.
All the players looked at Messi in surprise, and even the head coach looked at him with bright eyes.
Because Messi would never say such words in front of them, he still likes to use his actual actions to drive everyone.
When he saw everyone looking at him, Messi felt a little uncomfortable, touched his nose, coughed lightly, and said, "Please believe me!"
Seeing Messi's determined eyes, all the Argentina players stood up one after another, gathered around, put their right hands together, and shouted loudly, "Champion, champion, champion--"
The Spain players on the other side couldn't help but look sideways when they heard these shouts.
Not to be outdone, Li Mingyu also gathered his teammates together, putting their hands on each other's shoulders, and roared loudly, "Spain, champion!"
The fans at the scene were also completely ignited by the excitement of these two teams.
Although they have been cheering, singing and cheering for ninety minutes, many fans already have hoarse throats and feel exhausted.
However, when they saw that the i players were still so confident, they didn't know where a force came from, which made them excited again. They used their hoarse voices to help the players continue to cheer.
The five-minute break ended quickly.
Players from both sides walked onto the court with somewhat heavy steps.
Spain National Team has a big advantage in his mind. One more person is a huge advantage in overtime.
However, the head coaches of both sides have different arrangements in overtime, which is to control the ball and not give the ball to the opponent easily.
What people didn't expect was that in overtime, the first goal scorer turned out to be Argentina National Team.
