Football Modifier

The game lasted until the 70th minute, and the score between the two sides was still 0:0.

Li Tongfan stood on the sidelines with his arms folded across his chest, still looking calm and confident, but in fact he was a little surprised.

Traditionally, the French team is not a team that excels in defense, but in this game, the strength they showed on the defensive end has exceeded the level of many defensive teams. Although Lao Li had secretly activated the skill point [Storm] before, he still could not contribute to the defense of the team of the country that fell the fastest in World War II.

"Maybe the players of the French team also understand that if they lose this game, their hope of advancing to the knockout stage will be slim, so they played beyond their level?" Lao Li guessed secretly in his heart.

When the game entered the last ten minutes, Lao Li was a little impatient. Participating in this European Cup is a huge system task issued by the system. This game is a part of this huge system task. A draw means the failure of the task, and the FM punishment after the failure of the task is definitely something Lao Li is unwilling to bear.

Lao Li's eyes flashed with coldness.

Judging from the current situation, the French team can no longer be solved by a single-player bombardment, because the Spanish team has already exerted its football offensive to the extreme. Since a single-player ruthless attack is not effective, Lao Li began to consider changing his mindset to defeat the French team.

[Fragrant Bait to Catch Golden Turtle] skill point is activated.

Instantaneously--

The situation on the field suddenly changed.

"... The Spanish team's offensive slowed down, and they seemed to have reached the end of their strength. Xavi fell to the ground... Oh, he has cramps..."

Seeing the sudden scene on the field, the French commentator suddenly became excited.

"The Spanish players have suffered cramps continuously. They fought too hard... The French team saved some energy in defense... Maybe the French team has a chance to turn defeat into victory..."

"Crazy Li made a substitution... Barcelona youngster Thiago replaced Xavi who was exhausted..."

"This is a crazy substitution..."

"In my memory, this may be the first time in a Spanish national team match that Xavi was substituted early without injury... Thiago has not played any adult team game for the Spanish team before. Can he replace Xavi?"

"This reminds me of the scene when young Casillas played for the Spanish team. Open your eyes and see, Thiago is on the field... Is this the beginning of a legend, or the end of a joke?"

The commentators expressed their opinions when they saw Xavi leave the field.

...

After the substitution, the situation on the field did not improve much.

The Spanish team's offensive did not rise because of the arrival of Thiago, the new force. The physical strength of the offensive players seemed to have reached the limit. Torres, Villa, Pedro and others gradually slowed down their movements and could not keep up with the passing of Fabregas and Mata in the midfield.

Sidelines.

French coach Blanco was in a dilemma and struggle.

"Is this a trick trap? Or is the opponent really at the end of his rope? Should we let the players try to counterattack a few times? Although a draw theoretically retains the team's chance of qualifying, wouldn't a victory be more advantageous?"

Blanco frowned, his eyes like lightning, staring closely at the situation on the field.

Gradually, he began to feel relieved. The Spanish team's decline did not seem to be deliberately pretended...

"This is true! They are really no good!!"

After coming to this conclusion, Blanco was ecstatic. The significance of the victory to the French team is self-evident, and it is even more significant to him. Perhaps he will become the first head coach in history to defeat Madman Li. Such an honor is even more incredible and glorious than winning the World Cup!

Thinking of the pride, Blanco felt his blood burning.

He finally made a decision, stood on the sidelines, and made the long-awaited signal for Lao Li - counterattack, counterattack!

Lao Li, who was standing at the far end, saw this scene.

He knew that the Spanish team's chance had finally come.

Sure enough, after receiving the gesture quietly handed over by Blanco, the French team quickly seized the opportunity and launched a surprise attack-

Thiago, who had just come on the court, made a straight pass.

But Torres, who was seriously exhausted, did not catch up. The ball was taken by the French team's central defender Mex, and then quickly passed to Sagna on the wing.

Sagna did not dribble the ball, but kicked it along the sideline, and the ball fell into the hands of the dangerous man, [Maverick Scarface] Frank Ribery.

The French team completed this cooperation in less than three seconds.

At this time, the fans in the stands exclaimed, and some people with a keen sense of smell had already sensed the danger hidden behind.

Ribery, who had been suppressed and frustrated for nearly 85 minutes in this game, was like a Ferrari sports car with a roaring engine, bringing a deep blue whirlwind on the green court, whistling towards the Spanish team's penalty area.

In a blink of an eye, he had already rushed more than 20 meters.

Ramos stepped forward to press. ,

Ribery did not stick to the ball at all, and passed the ball to the middle.

The one who received the pass there was [Zidane's successor] Nasri.

Nasri almost left Arsenal last season due to the contract renewal issue with Arsenal, but later, under the clever tactics of Wenger, he finally stayed at Arsenal. In the past season, he started low and ended high at Arsenal, and his personal ability and reputation have reached a new level.

For the Spanish team, Nasri is a threatening figure no less than Ribery.

Xabi Alonso defended Nasri closely.

At this moment, something wonderful happened-

Alonso, who originally looked exhausted, suddenly became full of energy, and the huge power coming from behind made it difficult for Nasri to even stand. He tried to step on the football under his feet, then stabilized his center of gravity, and aimed at the gap where Ribery rushed forward, and passed the football down...

This pass was amazing.

It fully demonstrated Nasri's increasingly sophisticated skills and experience.

The fans of the French team had already started cheering, but the next moment, the cheers were like a noisy duck being strangled by someone, and they stopped abruptly...

Nasri's pass was not wrong, and Ribery's position was even more correct.

The mistake was that on the route of the pass, a Chen Yaojin was the first to come out - Ramos seemed to have known that such a pass would happen, and he got stuck on the route a second in advance.

Then, it was the Spanish team's counterattack.

In the previous ten seconds, the French team pressed forward unconsciously in the counterattack, and the defense line that had been as solid as a rock finally revealed a little flaw.

The football passed like lightning under the feet of Ramos, Alonso and Fabregas, and then like a pair of cold scissors, it tore the French team's defense line that had been strong for almost the entire game.

Pedro, like a civet cat, inserted quickly.

He took a step forward and rushed into the right side of the penalty area.

In the middle, Torres followed like a shadow and received the ball.

The cheers in the stadium suddenly rang out. As long as Pedro passed the ball, Torres would almost certainly score, because the former had attracted the attention of almost all the French defensive players.

But——

Bang! !

Pedro chose to shoot himself.

The football was as fast as lightning and went straight to the upper corner of the near corner of the goal.

This choice was indeed beyond many people's expectations, but the shooting angle was too small. Lloris, the French goalkeeper and the proud disciple of the former Madman Li, stretched his waist and arms and took the football steadily in his arms.

The cheers turned into infinite regret.

The French covered their hearts with gratitude. At that moment, Blanco almost bit his lip. He felt that his calf was almost cramped and he couldn't stand up.

"Fortunately, that kid chose to shoot! Fortunately, the ball didn't go in!"

Everyone in the French coaching staff cheered on the sidelines, as happy as if they had scored a goal. They wanted to hug Pedro and give him a few kisses. This kid is simply the God of salvation!

On the other side.

Li Tongfan's eyebrows jumped.

"Didn't pass the ball? Deliberately? Or did he want to score unexpectedly?" Old Li was a little difficult to judge about Pedro's choice at that moment. He thought about it for a few seconds and decided to stay put and wait and see.

At this time, there were about 4 minutes left before the end of the game.

In the third minute before the end, the Spanish team got another absolute chance. Thiago's creative pass helped Fabregas, who suddenly advanced, get one of the few frontal dribbling opportunities in the whole game.

He calmly found the gap and passed the ball.

The football passed between Mex and Mamadou Sakho and stabbed the left side of the French defense.

It was still Pedro who seized the opportunity.

The Barcelona striker is known as the civet cat. His positioning ability is indeed very good. This time he seized the opportunity again. It was similar to the last time. Torres followed up in the middle. In this game, Torres worked very hard and pulled out several gaps.

This time, Pedro finally chose to pass the ball.

But——

Swoosh!!

This was a high cross, far over Torres' head.

This ball... was actually passed to David Villa, who was not in a good position at the far end.

There is no doubt that this was an extremely stupid choice. Villa was too far away from the goal. Under the interference of the opponent's defensive players who reacted, he quickly lost the ball...

Almost at the same time, Li Tongfan, who had been calm all the time, showed a rare anger on his face.

Three seconds later——

"The Spanish team asked for a substitution... Raul, who has been warming up on the sidelines, will get a chance to play. He replaced... replaced... Oh, it's Pedro!"

Cheers rang out in the stands.

Some middle-aged and old fans stood up excitedly and cheered loudly. After many years, they finally saw the former legend of [Matadors] Raul on the national team stage.

The legendary man who kissed the ring after scoring a goal is finally back.

Raul's appearance boosted the morale of Spanish fans to a certain extent, but the effect on the game format was actually very limited. Lao Li did not modify Raul's data before, and the effect of the [Bait to Catch Golden Turtle] skill points just activated was about to disappear.

Unlike [Coincidentally], which has a long expiration time and can maintain controllability points for a long time, strategic points like [Fragrant Bait Fishing for Golden Turtles] can only be maintained for a limited time. Pedro missed the opportunity twice in a row. Let Lao Li waste some ability points and skill points in vain.

When the Barcelona forward came off the field, Lao Li didn't even look at him.

This situation is rare in Li Tongfan's coaching career. Under normal circumstances, no matter how poorly a player performs, Lao Li will give him enthusiastic encouragement when he comes off the field.

But Pedro is obviously not among them.

When he faced the golden opportunity for the second time and chose to pass the ball to Villa instead of Torres, Lao Li already understood the reason. I remember that during the 2010 European Cup, a reporter accused Pedro On the court, he would rather shoot than pass the ball to Torres, because Torres was not a Barcelona player. Lao Li felt incredible at the time...

Unexpectedly, it would happen again in such a game today.

This situation is intolerable to Lao Li.

Therefore, even if the skill point of [Fishing Golden Ao with Fragrance Bait] has expired, and even if Raul has not been modified by FM-MM, Lao Li can’t wait to replace Pedro with Raul. Even if he loses the game, Lao Li also did not allow such players to exist in his team and such things to happen.

…

The game is gradually approaching the end minute by minute.

Blanco was on the sidelines, already preparing to cheer for the draw.

The two thrilling counterattacks just now have completely destroyed Blanco's courage. He no longer fantasizes about the honor of defeating Crazy Li. For him, even a final draw with Crazy Li is a rare achievement. Honor, facing the mythical coach, a draw is also a victory.

On the field.

The Spanish team started a crazy attack again.

The red offensive is continuous, like the tide roaring against the table, like the mountains collapsing, like the water from the Milky Way pouring back, like the earth shaking and cracking, like the heavy rain in summer, the sky and the earth are dimmed, like the sandstorm next door covering the sky and the sun.

However, there is not much time left.

The French team almost completely withdrew its defenses and completely abandoned the attack.

On the field.

"Hey, old guy, you've finished playing a long time ago and were kicked out, so why did you come to the arena to embarrass yourself? Well, you'd better go home and hold your child! Haha!"

Sakho used his strong body to push against Raul, who was holding the ball with his back. He kept making small movements with his hands, poking, pinching and squeezing Raul's back, but was not seen by the referee. He kept provoking Raul while swearing. you.

Raul has seen a lot of defensive players like this.

He twisted his body a few times to prevent Saco from grabbing his back so easily. Raul didn't pay any attention to Saco's swearing words, and he was thinking of countermeasures in his mind - —

"There is not much time, and the conventional offensive methods are no longer effective. If you want to have a miraculous effect, you should choose... set kicks!"

Raul sorted out his thoughts almost in a blink of an eye. The next second, he did not pass back to Cesc Fabregas, who was receiving the ball from the outside. Instead, he saw the opportunity, suddenly turned around, and prepared to force the ball like a moth to a flame. Tusako.

At this moment, Sakho's dirty hands, which kept making little moves, were exposed in the eyes of the referee. As Raul made a breakthrough, Sakho subconsciously stretched his feet to defend, but he managed to stumble over Raul. On your ankle...

At this moment, Sako's pupils shrank.

force--! !

The whistle sounded.

"...Foul, Sakho tripped Raul...The King of the Rings won a valuable free kick for Spain..."

“This is a great location, just a little far!”

"Let's see who will take the penalty..."

"Villa had a good free kick... It's a pity that Xavi was substituted... Thiago also has good footwork... Cesc Fabregas, Xabi Alonso... Well, and Juan - Mata…”

French players lined up nervously against the wall.

In front of the football, stood Fabregas and Juan Mata. The penalty spot was a little far away from the goal and not within Villa's shooting range, so he retreated into the crowd to prepare for the point.

Players from both sides were pushing and shoving in the penalty area, and the competition for position was fierce. It seemed that the Spanish team was going to choose an indirect set-piece to cooperate.

The referee blew the whistle for the free throw.

Fabregas walked to Juan Mata, and the two came together to discuss. Fabregas turned and walked to the center of the penalty area.

This kind of cooperation makes the French team even more confused.

Midfielder Moussa Sissoko did not dare to neglect, and quickly stepped forward to defend Fabregas. He used to play under Lao Li's account, and Sissoko understood Lao Li's changes in set kicks. Maybe this ball , it will be Fabregas who walks away who finally completes the shot.

At this moment, everyone is watching and tens of thousands of people are holding their breath.

Juan Mata backed away slightly.

There was no tension on his face, only determination.

He looked up at the crowd in the penalty area, then at the position of France goalkeeper Lloris, and finally turned to look at Cesc Fabregas walking away, and then started to run.

Whirring whirring……

Thousands of people were breathing rapidly and nervously, and millions of pairs of eyes were firmly following Mata's footsteps.

finally--

boom!

The thunder of judgment blooms at the feet of [Angel Wings].

It was actually... it was a direct shot!

No one expected that the Spanish team had been "pretentious" for a long time. When everyone thought it would be a carefully planned free kick, Juan Mata took the most direct and rough way - a powerful free kick directly hit the French team's goal.

Amid exclamations, the football penetrated the French team's goal.

The speed was fast and the angle was tricky. It was like a white lightning that struck from the intersection of the crossbar and the uprights in the upper left corner of the goal. Lloris, who can be selected as one of the top ten goalkeepers in the world today, did not even have time to react to such a shot.

Everything happened in just a moment.

The speed of football surpassed the speed of human nerve reflexes.

Miracle ball!

Blanco of the French team fell to the ground with a thump. When the muffled sound of the instep hitting the football came, Blanco, who had experienced the battlefield, knew that it was over. The ball was definitely in, as expected...

"This game is over!"

Once the ball was scored, the French team's efforts to hold on throughout the game were completely in vain, and it was simply impossible to score a goal against Crazy Li's team in such a short time.

The stadium stands suddenly became a roaring ocean.

The Spanish fans were like crazy bulls, trampling the stands and making a rumbling sound.

Juan Mata was like a wild horse with a bridle. In excitement, he even took off his jersey, revealing a body of muscles that looked like a knife and an axe. The fans in the stands were responding to Juan Mata's celebration crazily. The peerless goal that Mata scored in the last European Cup did not bring victory to the Spanish team, but this time, this goal was definitely worth a thousand gold.

In the national team, the low-key Juan Mata finally became a hero who made the final decision.

He had waited for this moment for too long.

Become a hero!

Whistling in the ears!

Applause at the side!

Master the world, one goal to conquer the city!

Juan Mata!

At this time, the fourth official held up an electronic signboard on the sidelines, and the red Arabic numerals on it told everyone the extra time of this game - 2 minutes.

This extra time was enough to tell the world -

France is finished.

In this world, there are indeed people who can score against Crazy Lee's team, but no one dares to pat his chest and say with certainty: Within 120 seconds, I can score against Crazy Lee!

Sure enough, when the whistle of the end of the game sounded, the dying struggle of the French team did not work at all. They lost the game 1:0 under the arrow of [Angel Wings].

...

After the game, the match between Spain and France attracted the attention of the media, fans and all participating teams.

In fact, in every match of the Spanish team, there will be countless scouts and coaches from other teams in the stands. Since it is difficult to avoid Madman Li in this European Cup, these famous coaches began to face this undefeated coach directly, hoping to find opportunities and flaws that can be used in the future from the performance of the Spanish team.

And this match with the French team provides a good idea for those teams that may face Madman Li in the future - since they can't win, why not defend desperately, if they can fight for a draw, there may be a glimmer of hope in the penalty shootout.

Did the French team almost succeed?

After this game, [Angel Wings] Juan Mata became famous in Spain. Many fans and commentators who had previously questioned whether this player who became famous in the brutal and rough Premier League could gain a foothold in the technically gorgeous Spanish team changed their tune. For a time, comments such as "Mata injected blood into the Spanish team", "Mata made the Spanish team stronger", "Juan Mata made Spain strong", "Juan Mata is the most scarce resource of the Spanish team" and so on were frequently seen in major media newspapers and website headlines.

On the contrary, of course, there are also condemnations of Barcelona striker Pedro.

In such an important game, Pedro actually brought the vicious competition between two clubs outside the national team to the national team, and the situation was so bad that he completely abandoned the professional ethics that a professional player should have and ignored the interests of the national team. Such behavior was criticized by most professional media.
