Greece National Team took a very high-quality corner kick. The high center forward Mitroglou, who had just come on the field, overwhelmed Ramos and hit a powerful header to get a goal back for Greece National Team.
Mitroglou is a high center forward who has almost been abandoned by Greece National Team. When modern football pays more and more attention to pass-control coordination and ground attack, Mitroglou's disadvantage of not being good at dribbling has been infinitely magnified. Coupled with several "spitting cake" behaviors, he has become increasingly marginalized in Greece National Team.
If it weren't for Greece National Team's head coach who really had no choice, he probably wouldn't have thought of letting him play.
Unexpectedly, Mitroglou's appearance actually had a miraculous effect.
In several passes from Greece National Team, Mitroglou's height gave full play to his huge advantage, repeatedly posing a threat to Spain's goal.
1:3, Greece National Team struggled to get a goal back, giving them hope of a tie or even a lead.
However, after the kick-off in the center circle, Li Mingyu started his performance.
Greece National Team's players were eager to get the ball and continue the attack, but were confused by Li Mingyu's movement, passing and scheduling in the midfield.
The five Barcelona players on the field quickly kicked the ball out as they did in training, and the beautiful sound of tiki-taka resounded throughout the stadium again.
Looking at the Greece players who were running exhausted on the field but could not touch the football at all, slowly, the fans' huge boos filled the air of Karaiskakis Stadium.
I don't know whether this boo is for Spain National Team or Greece National Team.
As time passed by, Greece National Team's physical strength and patience were gradually lost as Spain National Team continued to fall.
At the 85th minute, there was still no change in the score.
After Li Mingyu received the pass from Busquets, he suddenly saw Busquets's face changed drastically and he shouted something loudly. He knew something was wrong, so he put all his strength on his back and jumped high.
Sure enough, when Li Mingyu jumped up, he saw a foot with shining spikes appearing under his feet, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Spain National Team has completely taken the initiative on the court. The players of Barcelona have such a tacit understanding. The constant small-scale short passes make the players of Greece National Team run like a group of headless flies."
"Time is passing minute by minute. If there are no accidents, Spain National Team should be able to win this game steadily. Oh, I have already seen that Spain's head coach Enrique is preparing to replace him. Indeed, now we need to replace several key players and take a rest, because a week later, there will be another home game against Georgia."
"Georgia defeated Greece National Team in the last round. In the match against Spain, they scored one goal first and almost overturned the Matador. They also have strong strength and are not the so-called underdogs."
"Busquets passed the ball to Li Mingyu. What happened? Greece National Team's midfielder Bakasetas knocked down Li Mingyu from behind. This action was too bad!"
"There was a fierce conflict between the players on both sides. How could such a thing happen? The Greece National Team players felt a little bit like they couldn't afford to lose!"
"Let's take a look at the slow motion. It's obvious that the ball was directed at someone. Bakasetas was in this position and it was impossible to tackle the ball. Fortunately, Li Mingyu jumped up. His feet were just taken by the opponent, so there shouldn't be much of a problem."
"The referee separated the players from both sides. He took out Red Gem Promotion Card, sent Bakasetas directly off the field, and also gave Spain National Team's Busquets and Fortounis of Greece National Team each presented a topaz War God card because they had excessive behavior in the riot just now."
"Li Mingyu is sitting on the ground, adjusting the position of his shin guards. It seems that there is nothing serious, but Bakasetas's action just now was too dangerous. If Li Mingyu hadn't reacted quickly, something would have happened."
"Spain head coach Enrique's face is going pale. If Li Mingyu is eliminated from his team, he will definitely bear the blame. This is not only a disaster for Spain National Team, but also an unacceptable thing for Barcelona."
Indeed, when I saw Bakasetas's tackle from behind, I was so frightened that Enrique almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.
The importance of Li Mingyu to Spain National Team has been fully demonstrated. In this game, the results of two passes and one shot are enough to prove everything.
And how important Li Mingyu is to Barcelona, not to mention, a proper midfielder.
Before the referee could give any indication, Enrique waved to his team doctor to quickly check on Li Mingyu's injury!
Originally, if it were another player, Enrique would definitely jump in front of the fourth official and accuse the opponent of murder!
However, whether Li Mingyu's injury was serious or not, Enrique had no time to think about other things.
When he saw the team doctor giving him a sign that there was no problem, and when he saw Li Mingyu sitting up and moving his feet, Enrique was relieved.
Enrique waved directly and replaced Li Mingyu with Koke, the midfielder of Atletico Madrid.
Li Mingyu is also a little frightened. If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, the kick on his leg would have been more serious than bad!
The game restarted, and the atmosphere at the scene was very solid.
The Greece National Team fans couldn't stop shouting. The flagrant foul just now made them feel a little incredible. Although the score was behind, no one wanted to see such a flagrant foul.
Football should still be cleaner.
Greece National Team Because there was one less person to take the challenge and he felt a little guilty, he seemed a little timid in attacking and defending.
Spain National Team on the other side looks like he shares the same hatred.
Especially Barcelona's brothers, Busquets and Li Mingyu were replaced at the same time. Rick and Garcia on the field were central defenders and did not participate in the attack.
But the other two, Alba and Pedri, like two angry lions, frantically began to attack Greece National Team's crumbling defense line.
In the 88th minute, Alba and Pedri played a wonderful two-on-one match on the wing and passed down the field. Sevilla teenager Brian Hill in the middle received the ball and passed it back. Pedri followed up and fired furiously, once again piercing Greece National Team's door.
In the end, World Cup Qualifiers Greece National Team from Europe district lost to the aggressive Matador 1:4 at their home court.
This game caused huge discussion after the game.
Li Mingyu's performance in this game was rated the highest among the team. It was the first time he participated in an official match for the national team and his outstanding performance gave many fans confidence in Spain National Team.
Regarding Greece National Team's Bakasetas, he posted an apology to Li Mingyu on his Instagram immediately after the game, expressing that he did not really mean to hurt him at that time!
However, his apology was not understood by the fans, who criticized him verbally and in writing, and even took out videos of some flagrant fouls he committed when he was at the club as evidence to prove that he actually had a criminal record.
Early the next morning, FIFA issued a ticket. Bakasetas was suspended for three games and fined 100,000 euros.
A three-game ban means that World Cup Qualifiers and Bakasetas, Greece National Team's main midfielders, will not be able to play. This is simply adding insult to injury for Greece National Team, who has been squeezed into third place in the group.
Since the match between Sweden National Team and Kosovo is held tonight, Spain National Team, who currently has 10 points with three wins, one draw and one loss in five games, has temporarily moved to the first place of Group B.
Spain's second game was a week later, facing the Georgia team at their home court.
In the first round, Georgia almost overturned the Matadors at their home court, boosting their morale. In the next game, they overturned Greece National Team, and now rank fourth with two wins and two losses.
In the evening game, as expected, Sweden National Team defeated Kosovo with 3:0. Ibrahimovic had one pass and two shots, showing a strong desire to attack.
Sweden National Team, who had four wins and one loss in five games, returned to the top spot of Group B, giving up the top spot to Spain, which had been sitting on the top spot for less than a day.
Back to Las Rozas Base, Spain National Team continued to start closed training.
Due to the current situation of Spain National Team, they can only win all four games to ensure that they can appear first in the group. Therefore, before facing Sweden National Team led by Ibrahimovic in the last round, no game can be taken lightly.
A week later, Spain National Team came to Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, his home stadium of Madrid, to face the visiting team Georgia.
In this Spain National Team, there are only two Real Madrid players, Ramos and Asensio, which seems a bit shabby.
Li Mingyu This is the second time to come to Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. The last time was El Clasico, Li Mingyu won five yuan, which directly nailed Real Madrid to the pillar of shame.
Most fans of Spain National Team are fans of Real Madrid and Barcelona. When they see Li Mingyu, they really love and hate them.
Playing at home, this time, Li Mingyu returned to the attacking midfielder position.
In the whole game, Li Mingyu passed the ball 135 times, breaking his own record again.
In the whole game, the ball control ratio was 83%:17%, which perfectly reproduced the terrifying control ability of the Matador Legion.
The final score was 3:0. Li Mingyu had a goal and an assist, which brought a perfect end to his debut in the national team.
Two goals and three assists in two national team games blinded everyone's eyes.
No player has ever been able to contribute such gorgeous statistics in his national team debut!
Li Mingyu, who returned to Barcelona, felt uncomfortable with the international match day because he had never had the experience of leaving Spain to compete in foreign countries.
Although there is almost no time difference between the two countries, the continuous air flights make Li Mingyu feel physically and mentally exhausted.
What's more, Li Mingyu played for about 80 minutes in both games. Enrique is really ruthless in employing people.
Back to Barcelona, Li Mingyu did not return to the training ground of La Masia, but took a day's rest at home. This is also the practice after the international competition day. After all, it is too inhumane to just come back from the long journey to participate in training.
However, after returning to the La Masia training ground the next day, Li Mingyu clearly felt the impact of the international match day on the team during training.
Many players are completely out of shape. Even Messi has some trouble with his feet when dribbling the ball.
This is the horrible sequelae of international match days. Basically all the strong teams hate international match days, but there is nothing you can do about it.
Two days later, Barcelona came to Alfonso Perez Stadium to challenge team Getafe.
Although they had two days to make adjustments, it was obvious on the court that many of Barcelona's players were a little unmotivated.
Li Mingyu also felt that his legs were filled with lead and he could not complete many movements smoothly.
As a result, in this game, Getafe tied with Barcelona, who was in poor form, 0:0 at their home court.
At the end of the fourth round, Barcelona was knocked off the top spot by Real Madrid, La Liga.
Real Madrid defeated Espanyol at their home court, winning all 4 games and making great progress.
Atletico Madrid also defeated its opponent at its home court and rose to fourth place.
Barcelona not only lost the top spot, but because Sevilla also won all four games, it actually pushed Barcelona to the third position.
This is really the changing king's flag at the top of the city!
After this game, everyone turned their attention away from the domestic league.
Because next week, UEFA Champions League will start.
Li Mingyu is also very excited, because next Wednesday, Barcelona's first game will be against Chelsea at his home court.
In the past two years, Chelsea has never won the league championship in the Premier League league, and has never been able to enter the finals in the Champions League competition.
The last time Chelsea appeared in the finals of Champions League was back in the 2011-2012 season, at Allianz Arena 00, the home court of Bayern Munich fought a bloody battle for 120 minutes without a winner. Finally, with a penalty shootout, they defeated Bayern Munich 4-3 and won the first Champions League championship trophy in their history.
Since then, Chelsea has never had the chance to touch the trophy of Champions League, and even the top four rarely enter.
Therefore, now he does not have many points in the European War, and this time he has been relegated to the third level.
But there is no doubt about the strength of Chelsea, and no one will underestimate this iron-blooded team.
Therefore, the Champions League group match between Barcelona and Chelsea also attracted everyone's attention.
The focus of attention is naturally whether Barcelona's new organizational core Li Mingyu can continue his strong dominance on the court of Champions League.
