Atletico Madrid's door god Oblak was very focused. Although there were people in front of him, the moment Li Mingyu took off his feet, he felt a hint of danger coming.

Oblak saw the football fly out of the crowd and go straight to his upper left corner.

Oblak quickly moved two steps to the left, made a very stretched diving leap, and used his right hand to hold the football sideways.

The football touched the crossbar of the goal and went out of the baseline.

The fans at the scene booed in frustration.

Every time when facing Atletico Madrid, the opponent's super goalkeeper's performance will always make Barcelona's offense in vain.

Therefore, if Barcelona fans were asked to rate the most hateful player in the La Liga league, the number one player would definitely be Oblak.

Atletico Madrid's players stepped forward to high-five Oblak in celebration.

Li Mingyu also shook his head in disbelief. Is today's game over like this?

In the second minute of injury time, Barcelona took a corner kick.

Since Oblak has a large control range, De Jong took the penalty farther outside this corner kick.

Near the penalty spot, the players from both sides got into a mess, and people fell on their backs.

Pedri, who was lying on the ground, raised his hands and signaled to the referee that the opponent had pulled me down and it was a penalty kick.

But the opponent's player also shouted at Pedri with an angry face and dived.

The referee didn't express anything, because the referee's position was very good and he could clearly see the ball just now. Although there was a pulling action on the opponent's hand, Pedri was not a good bird either. Both of them committed fouls on each other.

In such a critical game, at a critical moment, the referee was not willing to be the one who stood out, so he ignored them both.

In the chaos, the football was shot by Messi in the direction of the goal. However, due to the large number of people and mixed legs, the ball was blocked by the opponent's defensive player's legs in the small penalty area.

The football flew directly to the arc of the penalty area.

Li Mingyu is standing there, but his position is obviously a bit forward. Moreover, at this time, even if Li Mingyu wants to turn around and shoot a hook shot, it is already too late, because the height of the ball is at his chest.

If Li Mingyu stopped the ball with his chest and hit it again, he would probably lose his initiative because the defensive player would have already followed.

The football flew past Li Mingyu, and about three meters behind him was Atletico Madrid's player Llorente. If Li Mingyu could not control the ball, it is estimated that the opponent would have an excellent counterattack opportunity, although there was only the last minute left.

Llorente was already preparing the football to fly over, and then he dribbled the ball into Barcelona's half and scored the winning goal.

Just thinking about it, Llorente felt like he was trembling all over. It was time to become a hero.

From now on, please call me the great hero Llorente!

But Llorente's eyes suddenly opened as big as a bull's eye, and his mouth opened wide as he looked at the incredible scene in front of him.

Li Mingyu was like a spring. After the football passed him, he suddenly jumped up, and then swung his right leg back hard.

Li Mingyu's strong right leg, like Scorpion Kick, hit the football hard.

The football was like a shooting star, flying from the defensive player's head back into the penalty area.

Oblak widened his eyes and watched helplessly as the football was kicked back by Li Mingyu's acrobatic movements. He had no time to make any moves and paid attention to this wonderful goal.

A piece of net flower was brought up by the football.

The referee was stunned for a second before making a gesture validating the goal.

Li Mingyu got up from the ground, couldn't control himself with excitement, took off his jersey, threw it away, rushed to the edge of the stands behind the stadium, and roared loudly.

Koeman, who was on the sidelines, once again lost his grace and expressed his excitement with a passionate kneeling slide on the edge of the court.

Simeone on the other side covered his forehead in pain, damn, it's this kid again!

Ibrahimovic beside him looked at Li Mingyu who was celebrating crazily with bright eyes, and a smile appeared on his mouth. This kid is really interesting!

The physical fitness shown by Scorpion Kick and Li Mingyu's feet just now made Ibrahimovic very surprised.

Because the skill Scorpion Kick is not unique to Ibrahimovic. Many players have done it before, but only Ibrahimovic's Scorpion Kick is impressive.

The main reason is that Ibrahimovic has been a Taekwondo master since he was a child.

Ibrahimovic started practicing Taekwondo when he was five years old. When he was more than ten years old, he had already obtained a black belt in Taekwondo.

In 2008, Italy taekwondo athlete Sarmiento who won the men's 80kg silver medal at the Olympic Games in Beijing once said, "Ibrahimovic often trains with us. He is now almost a fifth-degree black belt. There are many professional taekwondo players who are no match for Ibrahimovic. His level is first-rate!"

Ibrahimovic has many moves on the football field that are unbelievable and cannot be imitated by other players. This is because of his Taekwondo skills.

However, even Ibrahimovic found the kick Scorpion Kick performed by Li Mingyu just now very amazing.

Ibrahimovic, 40 years old, has developed a strong interest in Li Mingyu.

Of course, Li Mingyu's stripping celebration also won him a topaz War God card, but it was well worth it for this priceless goal.

Shortly after Atletico Madrid kicked off, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Barcelona defeated the visiting team Atletico Madrid at their home court, Camp Nou, with a score of 3:2.

Li Mingyu made one pass and two shots to help the team overcome the danger.

After the game, Ibrahimovic walked onto the court and found Li Mingyu.

"Li, you are very good, let's exchange jerseys!"

Li Mingyu was a little surprised, this was the first time someone wanted to exchange jerseys with him.

"Okay!"

Li Mingyu quickly took off his jersey and exchanged it with Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic put Li Mingyu's jersey on his shoulders, shook hands with Li Mingyu, and said, "I'm looking forward to playing against you next time!"

Li Mingyu looked at Ibrahimovic who was full of fighting spirit, and his fighting spirit became high. He nodded vigorously and said, "I'm looking forward to it too!"

Ibrahimovic smiled slightly, turned around and left the court.

Looking at Ibrahimovic's back, Li Mingyu also smiled slightly.

After three league rounds, Barcelona has won three games and is ranked first. Real Madrid has also won three games, but is ranked second due to the disadvantage of goal difference. Atletico Madrid has fallen to ninth place due to the loss.

And Li Mingyu has firmly ranked first in the scorer list with 6 goals.

Haaland, who scored 4 goals, and Ibrahimovic, who also scored 4 goals, were chasing closely behind.

On October 6, 2021, the international match day is coming.

Li Mingyu also came to Las Rozas Base one day early to practice with the new national team.

In this national team, Barcelona has become the backbone of the team.

Barcelona, Li Mingyu, Busquets, Alba, Pedri and Rick. Garcia were selected.

However, Real Madrid was only selected this time Ramos and Asensio.

Head coach Enrique's selection style in the past two years is no longer based on reputation and qualifications, but on status. Whoever is in good shape is likely to join the new Matador Legion.

For example, 20-year-old left-footed attacker Brian Hill was loaned to Eibar by Sevilla last year. Although Eibar was eventually demoted, Brian Hill's performance was very impressive.

Especially in the last round of the game, in a life-and-death battle against Barcelona, he scored two goals alone, almost knocking Barcelona off the championship throne.

However, because Li Mingyu's light is too dazzling, many people ignore this young man.

This season Brian Hill returned to Sevilla from Eibar and became the core of the team. In the first three games, he scored two goals and one assist in offensive efficiency, which was also a very brilliant result. Therefore, he was recruited by Enrique into the new national team.

Li Mingyu, who came to the national team for the first time, had nothing to adapt to. After all, he had participated in the National Youth Team before. What's more, Busquets and their acquaintances made Li Mingyu quickly integrate into the team.

During the training, Li Mingyu was still placed as the left winger by Enrique, and he teamed up with Manchester City's midfielder Ferran-Torres to attack on both wings.

The forward center is Juventus's center Morata.

The three midfielders are defensive midfielder Busquets, and the two midfielders are Atletico Madrid's super star Max-Llorente and Barcelona's teammate Pedri.

The four defenders are Barcelona's Rick. Garcia and Real Madrid's Ramos partner in the middle and back. Defender, flanked by Alba of Barcelona and Pedro-Polo who was loaned to Sporting CP by Manchester City.

The goalkeeper is still Manchester United's goalkeeper David-De Gea.

Li Mingyu returned to the wing again without any discomfort. After all, the entire Spain National Team team is still built with the central axis of Barcelona. He feels like a fish in water here.

Enrique on the sidelines watched Li Mingyu frequently create murderous opportunities. Whether he was dribbling the ball into the opponent's penalty area or creating opportunities for his teammates by passing the ball, this new national team has undergone different changes.

Enrique once played for both Barcelona and Spain National Team, and after retiring, he also coached Barcelona and Spain National Team respectively. Therefore, in his bones, he still very much recognizes Barcelona's system.

Especially in the second half of last season, Barcelona seemed to be reborn and won the championship of La Liga, which made Enrique very happy.

Of course, what makes him happiest is that the appearance of Barcelona's super new star Li Mingyu gave him new ideas about Spain National Team.

On October 7, Spain National Team came to Karaiskakis Stadium of Greece to compete in the second round of the 2022 World Cup's Europe district qualifiers.

In the first round, Spain National Team was tied by Greece National Team at their home court.

Now Spain National Team is ranked third behind Group B with two wins, one draw and one loss. The situation is very crisis.

Because this year's World Cup Europe zone qualifiers are very cruel, the first place in the ten groups can appear directly, and then the second place in the ten groups and the two winners of the UEFA Nations League will compete for the other three qualifying rights.

Twelve teams are divided into three groups, with four teams in each group. The game is very simple. The four teams are divided into two groups and fight against each other. A single game is eliminated. The winner will play another game. The final winner will directly enter World Cup.

Therefore, if Spain fails to get the first place in Group B, it will enter the cruel single-game knockout schedule. If you are not careful, you will really miss next year's World Cup.

During the interview before the game, Spain's reporter stopped Li Mingyu and asked, "Li, this is your first time entering Spain National Team. What do you think?"

Li Mingyu nodded and said, "The atmosphere of the team is very good, I like it here very much!"

This Spain reporter obviously wanted to cause trouble and asked maliciously, "So, do you have any special feelings about Ramos?"

Because in El Clasico last season, Ramos made racist remarks towards Li Mingyu during the game, so after the game, Royal Spanish Football Federation was directly issued a 10-game suspension.

And in that game, because Ramos wanted to hurt Li Mingyu, Li Mingyu stepped on his ankle intentionally or unintentionally, causing his left Achilles tendon to tear and being reimbursed for the season, which dealt a heavy blow to Real Madrid's subsequent games.

Although after a summer, Ramos's foot injury has fully recovered, but in the first three league games, Ramos was still suspended and was not able to play, and almost failed to be selected for the national team this time.

When Li Mingyu entered the national team, Ramos did not show any kindness to him. However, Li Mingyu would not care about his attitude. After all, there are more Barcelona people in the national team.

Li Mingyu looked at the reporter, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Ramos, he is a respectable captain and the soul of the team!"

Seeing Li Mingyu talking about other things, the reporter felt a burst of curse in his heart. He is so young, how can he talk like an old fritter!

"So, Spain National Team's situation is not very good now. Do you have the confidence to lead Spain National Team into World Cup?" The reporter asked another question that everyone is most concerned about.

Li Mingyu thought for a while and said with a smile, "We are in good condition. As long as we win the next four games, then we can enter World Cup, right?"

After saying that, Li Mingyu left the interview area.

Li Mingyu's words immediately caused an uproar.
