Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Time passed by second by second, and the players on both sides reached the critical point of physical fitness, and their running dropped very obviously. The 2018 World Cup final reached the lowest stage of the entire game.

Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, the on-site director showed the camera to several major stars on the court one after another. The broadcast screen continued from Li Qing, Harry Kane, Mbappe, Griezmann, Dembélé, Pogba, Hund. Sen scanned the faces of the other stars. Except for the English players who had a smile on their faces, the French players were all frowning.

As time becomes less and less, French players gradually develop a feeling of being beyond their reach.

Especially for defensive players, Li Qing's constant wandering during England's defense gave them a feeling of a dagger at their throat, which was very uncomfortable.

If Li Qing is not present, Umtiti and Varane will move forward to participate in the attack, and the two full-backs Lucas Hernandez and Pavard will also be used as wingers.

The problem is that Li Qing standing in front is like a battering ram that can knock on the city gate at any time, so he has to deal with it carefully.

Kanter has already received a yellow card when switching from offense to defense. If he commits a tactical foul on Li Qing when he switches from defense to offense next time, he will most likely receive his second yellow card of the game.

French head coach Deschamps has little choice. He would like to replace Kante, but there is no player who can play Kante's role.

Players such as Griezmann, Mbappe, and Pogba, who have high hopes from French fans, worked very hard and racked their brains. However, the defense of the English players was really impeccable, which made people very helpless.

During this period, Li Qing consciously stepped up his running and took French players whose physical fitness had declined significantly to run back and forth in order to wait for the fatal blow.

A 3:1 lead can still give France hope of equalizing the score, but they can only wait until the score becomes 4:1!

Three goals behind and little time left, the championship will belong to England.

"aooaooaoaooaooooooo——"

England's transition from defense to offense was inefficient, but it did not affect the audience, which consisted of England fans, Chinese fans and salted fish neutral fans, who burst out with loud and violent shouts like a tsunami.

French fans witnessed the team's attacks again and again in vain, and their fighting spirit dropped significantly. They gradually realized that equalizing the score was probably a luxury, and many fans were depressed that it would never happen again.

At this moment, Pogba, Tolisso, Dembele and Mbappe played wonderful one-twos one after another. Pogba, who got the ball, used the flexibility of his ankle to shake lightly in front of the top of the penalty area. The football that should be passed to the feet of Mbappe, who is advancing forward, rolls in the opposite direction against the ground, that is, attacks the left rib.

Griezmann received the ball into the left rib of the penalty area, and Pickford abandoned the goal.

"wowowoowoooooooo——"

The chants that rang out above the Luzhniki Stadium were instantly replaced by exclamations.

Both Deschamps and Southgate became a little nervous in their respective coaching areas. If Griezmann helps France narrow the score again, then... the suspense will reappear in the last ten minutes of the game!

At this moment, Griezmann shot low with his left foot into the far corner. Pickford got down very quickly, but his left hand did not touch the football.

Griezmann, who continued to run forward with inertia, watched the football pass Pickford, a smile on his handsome face, and his hands were ready to move, preparing to make the iconic "telephone contact" to celebrate the goal.

A second later, the smile on Griezmann's face froze. The football he kicked did not hit the far goal post and hit the snow-white net. Instead, it hit the middle of the right goal post, making a crisp collision. There was a sound, and Maguire, who returned to the goal, turned around in shock and kicked the football forward.

"Didn't get in!"

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei said regretfully: "The goalpost of the Luzhniki Stadium rejected Griezmann's inevitable goal!"

"Oh-My-God!"

Deutsche Sky commentator Marcel Leif exclaimed: "Antoine Griezmann missed a great opportunity!"

"God favors! Didn't get in!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's voice was raised an octave, just as the broadcast screen was switching. As the football came to the center circle of the England half, a red figure appeared in the lower right corner of the broadcast screen, leaping high and rushing to get the ball. Varane pushed back with his forehead, and the falling football fell to the right side of the arc in the England half.

Varane had no time to commit a foul and could only watch as Li Qing chased the football.

The only good news for him is that Umtiti and Lucas Hernandez are not out of position and can maintain their formation against Li Qing to defend more.

At this moment, Li Qing, who had landed on the ground, took two lunges and stood still with his left foot on the center line. He raised his right foot directly and hit the football. He thought to himself: "Superstar moment, use it!"

No one expected that Li Qing would volley directly from 50 meters away from the goal. Umtiti and Lucas Hernandez, who were doing frontal defense, were stunned.

"Boom~"

Li Qing's right foot hit the middle and lower part of the football with the instep, making a crisp and muffled sound.

Driven by the skill [Superstar Moment], the kicked football was powerful and heavy, as if it was equipped with a GPS, and accurately hit the target. Goalkeeper Lloris, who was standing in front of the penalty spot, reacted very quickly and quickly stepped back. But Li Qing's right-footed volley without stopping the ball was very powerful and was obviously faster than the retreating Lloris.

"Li Qing——"

He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, raised his voice an octave higher: "The ball was kept in the middle circle and he volleyed with his right foot!"

When Loris retreated to the small penalty area line, the football had already reached the top of the penalty area.

With no other choice, Loris jumped up while retreating, leaning his upper body back, spreading his left arm and raising it high, using his strong waist and abdominal strength to jump up another two centimeters.

"NO!"

Loris' body's upward trend stopped abruptly, and there was a hint of despair in his eyes.

Judging from his past game experience, this ball... basically won't cause any accidents!

"aoaooaooaooaoooooo——"

Huge chants from England fans rang out over the Luzhniki Stadium.

In stark contrast, the French fans watched the football falling in mid-air without making any sound, and some even chose to close their eyes.

The falling football was just as Lloris predicted, without any accident, grazing the lower edge of the crossbar and hitting the snow-white net.

"Goooooooooooooooal——"

Sky commentator Andy Gray's iconic drawl echoed throughout the Luzhniki Stadium studio.

"The ball is in! The ball is in!"

He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, raised his voice an octave and shouted almost crazily: "Li Qing's non-stop shot from the center line helped England expand the score to 4:1! There are more than ten minutes left in the game. This goal The ball kills the game!"

"Oh-My-God!"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif shouted excitedly: "A super long-range volley of more than 50 meters scored! Lee's goal will most likely bring England a second World Cup championship!"
