Manchester United's heir apparent, but can't play football.

Chapter 76: Surgical Through Ball! (Chinese National Football Team Story)

The red tide surged violently, almost breaking free of the stands' constraints.

Li Luo staggered two steps, enduring the excruciating pain in his left ankle after the powerful shot, and jogged all the way to the billboard. Facing the night wind, he opened his arms wide and smiled brightly.

Golden confetti drifted down, shattering into tiny, gentle sparkles.

The Chinese fans in the nearby stands already had tears in their eyes. At this moment, they all stood up, their arms trembling as they stretched out their arms, like countless flowers and plants growing towards the sun.

Click!

The spotlight flashed crazily.

Reporters excitedly pressed the shutter, capturing this moment: "A Beam of Light".

Cheers and applause poured down from all sides of the stands like a tsunami.

"Li Luo!!!"

"Li Luo!!!"

"Li Luo!!!"

The first teammates to rush over were Hao Junmin and Gao Lin, who were incredibly excited to see the Chinese teenager's explosive shot.

The linesman smiled and stepped back slightly, giving the Chinese team room to celebrate.

Studio.
-
[This happens every time I watch Li Luo's national team matches; my eyes well up with tears again.]
-
Chinese football needed this goal, needed this kind of scoring method. Li Luo, you came at just the right time!
-
[Intercepting the opponent's pass, a Marseille turn, a lobbed pass to change direction and beat two players, then unleashing a powerful, curving shot – so cool!]
-
Our heroes!
-
Am I dreaming? Li Luo is practically a god of war!
-
[Li Luo: Who can stop me? (Looks completely invincible)]
-
My cousin has gone crazy; he was so excited he smashed the TV and now he's come to my house to watch the game.
-
[The national team version of Li Luo is really strong. After the game update, most of his attributes may reach 80, and he also has many, many more skills.]
-
[Sobbing, I'm so touched! Even if Li Luo slept with a Japanese girl, I wouldn't be angry!]

Courtside.

Perrin excitedly hugged the translator, Zhao.

Teaching assistant Li bent down and pounded the turf.

"This goal!"

"No, it's this kind of goal that gives people hope."

The other side.

Kosmin scratched his graying beard blankly.

Negative emotions spread wildly.

It was an even more negative emotion than when I fought with Maradona back then.

"This boy"

"How come he's so strong in the national team?"

“We have clearly studied Li very thoroughly. It is impossible for him to use his talents in linking and organizing, spatial construction, breaking through defenses, and launching offensives in the Chinese team.”

The assistant coach looked helpless: "Boss, Li didn't use his talents. He destroyed our defense by making a steal and then dribbling the ball all by himself."

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

The Saudi players looked bewildered.

I was completely stunned!

Is this the level of intensity expected in the Asian Cup?
21-year-old Basas excitedly gestured, describing how he had just been beaten.

Goalkeeper Walid was speechless for a long time; Li Luo's powerful, curved shot was terrifying.

End of celebration.

Li Luo didn't forget to encourage his teammates, praising their quick reactions and timely widening of the attack.

Gao Lin felt a warmth in his heart. Fighting alongside Li Luo was even more enjoyable than when he partnered with foreign players in the AFC Champions League.

He doesn't have the airs of a Manchester United crown prince.

There was no pretentiousness from the Wolfsburg midfielders.

What a high-quality, large kernel!
As the dominant center, I must give Li Luo a proper "foot wash"!
The game restarted in the middle circle.

Having regained their momentum, the Saudi team once again deployed their passing and control network.

The transmission speed is even faster than before.

The high-level defense line is being pushed further and further forward.

"Their playing style is very aggressive."

"Faraj, whose starting position is winger, has moved to the center to assist in the organization."

“Fullback Yasser has taken his place.”

"Asymmetrical attacking, a self-developed attacking formation that Mourinho explored in his early years, was later modified by successors such as Villas-Boas and Di Matteo."

The commentator patiently explained the facts.

I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Chinese team, hold on! Do not let the Saudi team successfully penetrate your defenses, and do not let Saudi Arabia's passing and control system wear down your patience and stamina.

Li Luo gestured to his teammates, indicating that they didn't need to rush.

Saudi Arabia's high-level defenses are getting deeper and deeper.

Perrin shouted loudly from the sidelines, signaling to his Chinese national team players to strictly implement Mr. Black Gold's football philosophy: defense and counter-attack.

Gao Lin withdrew to strengthen high-altitude defenses.

For now, only Wu Lei remains as a counter-attacking option in the attacking third.

When the football rolls into the 30-meter zone.

The Chinese team's midfield began to sweep through the enemy lines.

Accompanied by cheers.

Saudi striker Al-Hazazi quickly moved to the wing, received a pass from his teammate, and faced the oncoming Chinese player. He began to wildly twist his waist, showing off his dazzling footwork.

"No way?"

"We're not going to let this guy get through, are we?"

"One passed."

"Hey."

"Pretty!"

"Zheng Zhi, the 34-year-old captain of China, intercepted the ball."

Zheng Zhi may be getting old, but he still has experience. He played in the English Premier League when he was young, scored goals there, and even played for Celtic, a highly regarded club in the Scottish Premier League.

No thought was given.

Quickly pass the ball to Li Luo.

The Chinese national football team's half-field 30-meter zone.

Without relying on spatial awareness, Li Luo had already taken in the Saudi team's high defensive line, which was almost pushed to the center circle.

There's no need to deliberately create space or think about complex tactical games.

The Saudi team is not one of the Bundesliga powerhouses.

The football landed uneasily at his feet before being gently brought to a stop.

Li Luo leaned forward effortlessly, his movements as swift and precise as if he were picking up a scalpel.

The right leg was raised in the same direction.

79 points in passing, 86 points in footwork.

Bah!
The moment the instep made contact with the ball, the close-up sound recording equipment emitted a thrilling explosion!

Extremely long through ball!

The football, skimming the grass, transformed into a sharp blade.

It ripped through Brisbane Stadium! It brutally breached the Saudi team's high defensive line.

"Wow!"

Commentator He Wei was momentarily speechless.

He stared blankly as the football began to roll from the Chinese national team's backfield, quickly passing the center circle and piercing through the Saudi team's panicked retreat formation.

The sea of ​​red from all four stands surged once again for the heroes.

"Wow!"

"incredible!"

"A surgical-like long-range through ball!"

"Its penetrating power is like that of a bullet, causing adrenaline to surge continuously."

Perrin was so happy he almost fainted.

Saudi Arabia's head coach, Komins, almost fainted.

Studio.

The barrage of comments flew by.
-
[A super long-range through-hole transmission of over 60 meters? Wow! That's incredible!]
-
So handsome.
-
【master.】
-
【husband!】
-
So elegant.
-
The whole world is thinking about how to shorten the "time" of transition attacks, and Li Luo solved it with a single shot in the Asian Cup.
-
How do you guys type so fast?

The Chinese national football team players are not fools.

Wu Lei's positioning is very clever.

He had just been roaming near the high defensive line when he saw Li Luo's passing motion and started his run!

It must have been passed on to myself.

nonsense.

A deep defense means you're the only one who can launch a counterattack.

"Wu Lei!"

"No offside!"

"Single sword!"

"Charge!"

"Pretty!"

"Bassas, you're about to commit a tactical foul. You didn't even touch it!"

"Walid attacks out of the penalty area."

"Wu Lei, can you get past him? Oh no, the Saudi goalkeeper handled the ball outside the penalty area!"

"Free kick".

"The Chinese team has a fantastic free kick opportunity in the attacking third."

The stadium erupted in applause.

Wu Lei slapped the grass in frustration, stood up, gave Li Luo a thumbs-up, and then made an apologetic gesture.

Li Luo indicated that it was okay, the opponent had committed a tactical foul, there was nothing he could do.

Referee Alireza Fagani jogged forward, hesitated for a moment.

It's so hard to judge.

If the midfielder Bassas fouls Wu Lei, he could be shown a straight red card.

but.

Goalkeeper Walid deliberately handled the ball outside the penalty area. Although he didn't pull or push anyone, he clearly ruined the scoring opportunity that Li Luo created for the Chinese team.
Clearly disrupts the single-handed attack.

"The referee's brain has gone blank; there's a question mark spinning above his head."

"Good! Red card!"

"The Saudi Arabian goalkeeper has been sent off, and they will need to make a substitution."

"Goalkeeper Ennazi has been brought on."

"He pulled out a foam spray and drew a 'U' at the spot where the foul occurred!"

"We saw that after communicating with his teammates, Li Luo stood in front of the ball by himself."

"A big deal!"

"It's okay if we don't communicate."

Red flags flutter.

The night wind made the hem of my clothes flutter.

Li Luo bent down and adjusted the placement of the soccer ball several times.

He then stood up.

Their gaze was fixed on the Saudi team's goal.

The newly substituted Saudi goalkeeper, Ennazi, was diligently directing the defensive wall.

His dark face revealed a resolute expression.

'I won't be as dull as that guy Walid.'

'A crescent moon blade, is that it?'

'bring it on! ’

The stands gradually fell silent.

All eyes were fixed intently on the red figure on the green field.

Perrin was also a little nervous.

Assistant Coach Li had the same mentality: even with a one-goal lead, things were still not stable. Although Saudi Arabia was down to 10 men, Li Luo, their super offensive core, couldn't be used solely for deep defense.

Take a deep breath.

"Li Luo's eyes"

"It reveals a hint of fierceness and determination."

"I believe that at this moment, viewers in millions of households are glued to their televisions, holding their breath."

"coming."

Li Luo felt that his gaze was clearly very gentle.
Take a few steps back.

It wasn't a horizontal retreat like a crescent moon blade.

Beep!
Begin your running start.

There are no windmills with their arms raised, and no S-shaped step points.

Snapped!
With a light step, the right foot rotates outward as if pulled by the wind, and the outside of the instep accurately strikes the lower middle part of the football.

The night sky above Brisbane Stadium was instantly distorted into an incredibly beautiful counter-clockwise arc.

It was a strange, crescent-shaped arc.

First, it skimmed over the top of the human wall, as if gently lifted by an invisible hand, then suddenly plummeted, crashing headlong into the Saudi gate with a resolute air.

Ennazi's eyes were vacant.

Turning to look at the football with the white net lifted, he couldn't help but kneel down.

0:2! ! !
