What is a destructive midfielder?

Li Kang and his teammates arrived in St. Petersburg in advance.

The coaching staff rented a conference room in the hotel, and everyone watched the French team's promotion battle together.

I didn't think too much.

If I can't get past Croatia, all the research on the French team will come to nothing.

I don't even have the heart to empathize with the joys and sorrows of France and Brazil after the game.

Because tomorrow, I can also become a role of one of them.

Mignano said: "Everyone go back and rest early!"

The big battle is imminent, and the coaching staff has not had any high-intensity training in the past two days.

Everyone stood up and went to their respective rooms.

Isco looked at Morata and suddenly asked: "Do you think it's difficult to play Belgium, or Croatia?"

Morata said without hesitation: "We have already won Belgium. Of course, it's Belgium in the local matchup, but it's much more difficult to win Croatia."

De Gea is an anime fan. He thought about it and said: "It's strange. I think Croatia is a bit like the protagonist of a hot-blooded anime."

Li Kang sat on the chair.

The 'tactical palace' from the perspective of God is glowing with a faint white light.

Classic World Cup clips come to mind.

Cruyff and Beckenbauer's century duel.

Maradona's journey to the throne.

Baggio's lone legend.

Zidane's strategic planning.

In the end, all the legendary shadows disappeared one by one.

They could no longer give Li Kang substantial improvement, even in terms of ideas.

On the other side.

Croatia stayed in a hotel.

Modric sorted out all the draft papers and stuffed them into the suitcase.

With the war imminent, coach Dalic allowed the players to use mobile phones for the first time.

Rakitic called his father.

Lovren called his football enlightenment coach in Germany.

The coaching staff did not say anything inspiring.

Most people have experienced the deep pain brought by the war.

Football is a business card that a newly born small country gives to the world.

July 12.

The St. Petersburg Stadium on the shore of the Gulf of Finland is full of lights and colors.

It is the posthumous work of the Japanese architect, Kisho Kurokawa.

It is the embodiment of the ultimate secret of the "metabolism" school, but it is too expensive, costing 1.4 billion euros, which is four times the amount of the Emirates Stadium.

Sixty-eight thousand fans from all over the world filled the four stands.

Their fanatical eyes were full of expectations.

Looking forward to witnessing a wonderful match tonight.

"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, audience friends."

"Now we are broadcasting the 2018 Russia World Cup semi-finals for you!"

"Spain vs. Croatia!"

"Li Kang and Modric, two generations of talented midfielders, are about to face off on the World Cup stage!"

"Will the Invincible Fleet triumph? Or will the checkered army create a miracle? Let's wait and see!"

Pre-match press conference.

Bosque still smiled kindly, making it impossible for media reporters to judge his pre-war mood.

"Croatia is a great team."

"A month ago, few people believed they could make it to the World Cup semi-finals!"

"I see a tenacious spirit in many players."

"We will do our best and respect our opponents."

The old coach is bitter.

I just hate that the Three Lions are not up to the mark.

Even if Spain beats Croatia, it will be beaten. What will it use to play against France in the final?

Shake his head.

Bosque waved away his messy emotions. The game in front of him is more important. It is not an easy thing to beat Croatia.

As long as Li Kang is not injured, he is still very confident.

On the other side.

Dalic looks "more" calm.

He is quick to respond and patiently answers reporters' questions.

No chicken soup words are used.

It seems that he is not proud of his team's performance.

If it were Enrique, that guy would definitely turn the pre-match press conference into a "success study" speech.

"Tonight's game will be difficult, but we are fully prepared."

Player tunnel.

Both sides shook hands warmly and hugged briefly.

Many of them play for the same club: Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid.

Koke and Vrsaljko encouraged each other.

Ramos, Carvajal and Modric had a cordial conversation.

Rakitic and the Barcelona gang exchanged pleasantries.

Enthusiasm could not cover up the inner tension and excitement.

After a moment, the two sides stopped communicating.

Two queues formed in the spacious passage.

One side hoped to return to the top of the world, and the other side hoped to break the history of the World Cup semi-finals 20 years ago.

The referee team led the players of both sides out of the passage.

In the night breeze, the Russian World Cup flag on the green field was like a graceful dancer twisting her waist, echoing the cheers of the landslide and tsunami.

"Here are the starting lineups for both teams."

"Spain's lineup is 4-1-4-1."

"Goalkeeper: De Gea."

"Defenders: Carvajal, Pique, Ramos, Azpilicueta."

"Single defensive midfielder: Busquets."

"Central midfielder: Cazorla, Li Kang, Iniesta, David Silva."

"Forward: Morata."
