Lead Ronaldo to a sweeping victory in the USA-Canadian World Cup!

There are three days left until the World Cup final.

The Portuguese players aren't training like crazy, because at this point, further training would only increase the players' physical stress. It's better to let everyone relax.

Cristiano Ronaldo, in particular, was still experiencing mild pain in his right leg the day after the cramp, and was doing rehabilitation training.

At this pace, I can play on the day of the final, but if I push myself too hard, my body might experience other problems.

Thomas was a little worried, but Ronaldo was very calm. After all, he had encountered too many injuries in his life, and a thigh cramp was just a minor problem.

Four days of rest are enough for him to run on the field.

Moreover, as long as the large Portuguese ship needs him as its captain, he will stay forever.

Jiang Feng had to admire this.

After resting for a day, Jiang Feng received a call from home that same day.

"What? Ye Qian is coming over? What's she coming for?" Jiang Feng received a call from his mother.

Ye Qian is the daughter of Jiang Feng's father's brother from his time working on a boat.

When Ye Qian was working on the ship, her father was killed by pirates. Before he died, he entrusted his daughter to Jiang Feng's father.

From then on, Jiang Feng had an older sister who was three years older than him.

Ye Qian is currently studying at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and has been designated by Jiang Feng's father as the successor to the Group.

If it weren't for Ye Qian, Jiang Feng might have gone to business school to take over the family business and would never have gotten involved in football.

But the relationship between the two can only be described as something that siblings understand. Jiang Feng was always the one who was beaten up when he was young, and he almost developed psychological trauma from it.

"Your sister Qian is looking for an internship right now. Your dad knows you don't have an agent yet, so he arranged for your sister Qian to be your agent to prevent you from being scammed by those capitalists," Mom said earnestly.

Jiang Feng retorted, "I can hire my own agent. I don't need her. Just let her focus on her studies, graduate well, and take over the family business!"

Mom said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. She'll come to find you after your finals. That's settled. Bye."

The river breeze was silent.

He and Ye Qian argued every day they were together.

Moreover, he finally turned 18 and escaped the control of his family, but now he still has to be watched over by his sister who is not related to him by blood. It's so hard!

However, he also knew that this was his family's way of showing concern for him.

Ye Qian's abilities are still useful. Her current net worth is at least tens of millions of euros. As an 18-year-old, she doesn't have much ability to manage money, let alone negotiation skills. Facing those experienced club managers, she is naturally at a disadvantage.

Ye Qian is a top student in the business school, and she is very capable.

She's a citizen of China and was the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination back then. If he entrusted the task to her, Jiang Feng really wouldn't be taken advantage of.

Since that's the case, Jiang Feng didn't say anything more.

Once his football career is on track, he can get rid of her!

It's decided then and there.

After the World Cup ends, he will really need a capable agent, and he will definitely want to join some of the top clubs.

As for which one to join, Jiang Feng hasn't decided yet.

The key issue is that in Portugal, his partnership with Ronaldo is the most perfect. Ronaldo seems to understand the angle of every long pass he makes. It would be great if he could play for the same club as Ronaldo.

I just don't know if Ronaldo's contract in Saudi Arabia has expired. If it has...

"No, he's 41 years old now. Would the top teams in the five major leagues want him?"

"As far as I know, these top teams generally let their older players go; even Messi went to Miami..."

Jiang Feng was lost in thought when he unknowingly fell asleep.

I'm so tired. My 18-year-old body desperately needs sleep to recover.

-----------------

The day after defeating France, although Thomas didn't arrange any practice matches or training tasks for everyone, he directly took everyone into the tactical room that had been specially set up in the hotel.

After drawing the curtains, they were going to study Argentina!

Thomas immediately said, "We study Argentina because we study Messi. To beat Argentina is to beat Messi. Take a look at Argentina's heat map from the knockout stage."

Although Messi is currently positioned on the right wing, he is basically waiting to feed the ball near the penalty area.

The main task of the other Argentine players was to feed Messi the ball.

When Messi passes the ball, you should consider whether you can shoot yourself.

It's that simple.

But for Portugal, it's a different story.

Messi's dribbling ability is too strong, so they can no longer play the 3-4-3 midfield possession system and can only play a defensive counter-attacking style.

However, Ronaldo's declining physical condition is a very important issue.

Counter-attacking requires forwards to be fast and also to participate in defense.

So this is a problem.

The only solution is to bring in more defenders.

"We need to set up a 4-4-2 formation."

"When necessary, Jiang Feng, you can play as an attacking midfielder and pass the ball to our forwards."

Thomas said.

"We absolutely cannot rely on individual defense; we must limit Messi's movement. We need to wear him down in the first half! Then we can look for opportunities to attack and score in the second half!"

Jiang Feng nodded silently; he agreed with Thomas's tactics.

Since mastering the [Lingbo Weibu] technique, Jiang Feng has realized that trying to find Messi one by one by himself is like the Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather—he'll just get beaten.

The only solution is to rely on the entire team to block his space, shutting down his passing, shooting, and movement.

Although it's difficult and requires a lot of manpower, there's no other way.

Lionel Messi, the King of Football, is known by fans as: "Having traversed three thousand miles, his single sword is still worth a million soldiers."

Is this a joke?

Meanwhile.

On the Argentinian side.

They were also studying Portugal.

Head coach Scaloni was also leading the team in studying Portugal's formation, but the study focused on only two people: Jiang Feng and Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Jiang Feng's passing ability is amazing. We need someone to mark him closely, to control his passing angles, and to completely shut down the space!"

Well, everyone thinks the same thing.

Scaloni continued, "If we have to pass the ball to the right, then we must pass it high. This kid's jumping ability isn't very good, and his heading ability isn't as good as ours. We can then use a header to get the ball to Messi from the right."

The players wholeheartedly agreed.

What they didn't know was that Jiang Feng's jumping ability was now extraordinary.

A 10% improvement is a significant amount.

"Wait, there's something even more important: try to prevent them from getting free kicks!"

"This is the key point!"

Jiang Feng and Cristiano Ronaldo have such strong free-kick abilities that even France has fallen victim to them; they can't afford to repeat that mistake.
