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

Chapter 24 Double Rewards? (Two-in-One)

De Bruyne never doubted the quality of Lillard's through balls.

'Li's pass definitely took into account the opposing goalkeeper's positioning and blocking posture.'

'If I feel uncomfortable.'

'Then it must not be Li's problem, but rather that my archery skills still need practice.'

The football grazed the Everton goalkeeper's white gloves and struck the crossbar hard.

Finally, the deflected projectile entered the net.

The white net swayed gently.

0:1! ! !

Thunderous applause erupted from the away stands at Goodison Park.

[Shock level +1!]

[Shock level +1!]

[Shock level +1!]

【.】

The skyrocketing shock value did not disrupt Li Luo's thoughts.

He was savoring the feeling of receiving the ball and getting rid of it twice, and the moment he seized the opportunity to exploit a weakness in the opponent's defense after successfully getting rid of the ball the second time.
The spatial perception geometric model in the brain is constantly rotating.

"plum!"

After scoring, De Bruyne did not celebrate alone, but excitedly ran towards the Chinese boy.

However, two teammates beat them to it.

Bendtner put his arm around Li Luo's shoulder and patted his forehead: "Was my pass and setting up the ball crucial?"

Maranda leaned closer excitedly: "Lee, the boss told me to protect you, but I know that passing the ball to you is the most important thing."

"No, the most important thing now is to celebrate!"

Li Luo led his teammates towards the away stands.

Crash.

Wolfsburg fans responded with the most enthusiastic cheers and applause.

CTV5 live broadcast room.

The commentator couldn't help but applaud in admiration.

"Pretty!"

"The ball is in!"

"Li Luo connects with De Bruyne, breaking through Everton's defense!"

"The Chinese genius skillfully broke free and delivered a sharp through pass."

"The Belgian genius's decisive run and positioning."

"Perfect teamwork!"

Wolfsburg has taken the lead!

"For a Chinese player to perform so well against a Premier League team like Everton in the Europa League, Chinese fans will certainly not hold back their cheers!"

"Chinese football has been dormant for too long."

“A long time ago, there was a Chinese player who played for Everton.”

Coach Zhang was deeply moved: "Li Luo's move to get rid of his opponent before sending out the through ball was absolutely brilliant. It showed his perfect spatial awareness and calculation of body distance when facing the ball."

Studio.

The entire attack was replayed in slow motion.
-
[I'm close to winning with a big hand. Thank you to the twenty-two kind people in the room.]
-
[Renowned coach Hecking perfectly crafted a midfield duo system with Li Luo and De Bruyne as the core.]
-
[Unbelievable! Li Luo can still play so well against a team like Everton!]
-
Everton's physical strength is impressive; I thought Wolfsburg was going to lose.
-
Li Luo touched the ball a little too many times tonight.
-
The match is still far from over. If Wolfsburg continues their attacking offensive, Everton is very strong and could equalize and then take the lead in no time.

Command area.

"Defense!"

"Next, focus on low-post defense."

"Damn it, in cup competitions, you rely on defense."

Black Gold remained calm, displaying the demeanor of a renowned coach, and gently instructed the coaching staff to relay his commands.

Wolfsburg are sticking to their old strategy this season: park the bus and capitalize on transitions.

The assistant coaches were still passionately embracing and celebrating the goal.

The other side.

Martinez's expression was complicated.

Spanish coaches tend to overthink things.
Everton's wing defense is practically perfect.

But Li Luo broke through their mid lane?

why?
Why didn't Li Luo demonstrate the mindset of receiving the ball and getting rid of it in the previous Bundesliga matches?

My thoughts gradually drifted away.

Everton's manager suddenly realized: "It must be Dirk Nowitzki. He was worried that young talents like Li Luo would be overused and get injured, so he temporarily changed his playing style this season."

"In this respect, I'm not as good as Black Gold."

"Damn it, we're behind in the score, how can I still be thinking about these things?"

Take back your thoughts.

Martinez beckoned his midfielders over and patiently gave them instructions.

Looking out at the crowds celebrating in Wolfsburg.

McCarthy was a little melancholy.

We were just a hair's breadth away from stopping that kid Li Luo.

Stones bent over and sighed in frustration.

Night, like a rough cloth soaked in seawater, slowly enveloped Goodison Park, and the once fiercely churning blue sea in the stands briefly calmed down as the score changed.

Lukaku remained expressionless as he comforted his teammate: "Li is a super talent, otherwise why would he be sitting next to me during the Europa League draw? There's still plenty of time in the game, he might score a goal."

The game restarted in the middle circle.

After the ball rolled gently, the Everton players, poised to pounce, surged across the center circle.

"Very smooth."

"Martinez is a very capable coach who has made many changes to the Toffees."

“For example, McCarthy, who was originally a defensive midfielder, has now also been developed to have attacking attributes.”

"There is an increasing emphasis on blurring positional boundaries, requiring players to have multi-role capabilities, and to be able to run more."

"Oh dear, the entire Wolfsburg team has retreated to their own half."

Over time.

Some fans at the scene were anxious:
Their Toffee Girl, wielding a blue blade, relentlessly attacked the armored fat wolf cowering in the forbidden zone.

We can't break through.

Wolfsburg is shameless; they parked the bus after taking the lead by one goal.

"Everton's crown prince, Barkley!"

"A powerful long-range shot!"

"The shot went wide."

"Don't rush. During the positional warfare phase, the Crown Prince can take a long-range shot, which will greatly boost morale."

Barkley raised his hand to apologize to his teammates.

He was indicating that he hadn't played well.

He is considered the closest homegrown player to becoming an "Everton academy gem" since Wayne Rooney.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Black Gold was determined to have Wolfsburg put up a bus.

However, viewers gradually noticed that Wolfsburg seemed to be attacking more often.

Once Everton lose possession during the attacking phase...

Wolfsburg will launch a fierce counterattack.

De Bruyne's long pass was a key play.

The other players charged forward frantically.

Everton's high defensive line was very well-prepared and repeatedly averted dangerous situations.

This was the first time Li Luo had played such a 'fast' match.

The back-and-forth movement was too fast.

Possession of the ball keeps changing hands.

The geometric model of spatial perception is operating at an increasingly faster speed.

He couldn't help but think of "Football Match: The Blood Bar Theory".

The content is: Most football matches are about constantly exhausting both sides' physical strength, and in the process, looking for opportunities to change the score.

Fortunately, Li Luo had noticed this in previous matches and gradually made better use of his energy.

Thanks to his spatial awareness, his movements on the football field are mostly effective and reasonable.

The white jerseys gradually became covered in mud and grass clippings, the black hair was soaked with sweat, and the wind whistled in their ears.

[Shock level +1!]

[Shock level +1!]

【.】

Li Luo was a little confused: This can increase shock value? What's going on?

"OPTA's real-time heat map is out."

"Ah."

"Li Luo's activity area should be considered in conjunction with his running."

During this period of time

"Supporting defense and positioning are crucial."

"The timing of the forward runs and the timing of the fan-shaped attack were both perfect."

"The speed is not slow, the stride is very flexible, and the running posture is very scientific."

“In the defensive phase, he’s very similar to Matthäus and Beckenbauer.”

Coach Zhang spoke earnestly.

He is very old, has been watching football for a long time, and has seen many legendary matches.

Studio.
-
Li Luo looks really cool when he runs.
-
[If you're handsome, you'll be handsome even when you're eating shit.]
-
[His running form is very scientific and doesn't require many steps to slow down, especially during the turnaround phase, which is very suitable for the competitive environment of top leagues. However, it seems like he learned it from Giroud.]
-
[Sigh, football tactics are constantly evolving, and future midfield maestros, regardless of their type, will all need to be able to run.]
-
[Is this really the end? I initially bought a 2.5-inch share!]

The cheers at Goodison Park gradually subsided.

The LED screen in mid-air displays numbers that are causing Everton fans great anxiety.

"Time is running out for Everton."

"The match has reached the 88th minute."

"The score is currently 0-1!"

"There might be five minutes of stoppage time?"

Changes occur suddenly.

After receiving a pass from his teammate, Lukaku suddenly moved to the wing.

They then began their attack on the opponent's defense from the diagonal line across the penalty area.

Facing Wolfsburg's full-back Sebastian.

Lukaku did not transform into Lin Daiyu.

He lay down on the baseline, created space, and then unleashed a powerful shot!
A shot from a tight angle!
Snapped!
The ball slammed into the hand of another full-back, Ricardo.

"."

"Handball."

"Handball in the penalty area."

"Ricardo was unable to immediately retract his arm while adjusting his center of gravity to defend Mirallas."

The referee blew his whistle, raised his hand, and pointed to the 12-yard spot.

Crash.

Goodison Park, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly came back to life and burst into cheers.

Black Gold covered his face helplessly.

Martinez excitedly slapped his thigh.

Everton players embraced each other excitedly, offering encouragement.

Riccardo's Wolfsburg teammates did not complain.

The enemy's rate of fire is too fast.

Be caught off guard.

"We were just unlucky."

Captain Benaglio patted his full-back teammate on the head: "Don't blame yourself."

After a while.

Lukaku, holding the ball, walked to the penalty spot.

"When people are in adversity, someone has to step up."

"Can Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku become a hero at Goodison Park?"

"."

Put the football down at the 12-yard mark.

Keep retreating.

As he approached the edge of the penalty area, Lukaku took a deep breath and steadied himself.

The referee blows the whistle. Beep!
The tens of thousands of people present couldn't help but feel tense.

Some fans even covered their eyes.

"."

Benaglio jumped around under the goal, making exaggerated movements in an attempt to distract his opponent.

Ok?
I've been waiting for ages, why haven't they thrown the free throw yet?
"coming!"

"He was like an angry bull."

Lukaku wiggled his big butt and started his running start.

Arrive at the ball.

Raise your arms and swing your legs.

Bah!
The football shot out like a cannonball.

Benaglio, as if possessed by a god, leaped forward and his pink glove touched the football!
Lukaku seemed to have lost all his strength, and collapsed forlornly onto the grass.

A magical scene happened.

The ball was blocked, but it deflected off the Belgian striker's bald head and flew into the net.

1:1! ! !

The entire hall fell silent.

How can they even get in?

Lukaku looked up blankly at the Everton stands celebrating wildly and his Everton teammates rushing towards him excitedly.

"Pretty!"

"A stunning header follow-up shot."

"In the first minute of stoppage time, Lukaku helped Everton equalize!"

"Wonderful."

"Benaglio made a very good save."

"Lukaku is lucky."

The commentator's tone was both amusing and helpless.

pity.

We will not be able to witness Li Luo's first victory in European competition.

Coach Zhang had a different view: it was a matter of probability and physical exertion. After a prolonged attack, Everton, with their superior overall strength and home advantage, finally seized the opportunity in the final moments.

Li Luo glanced at the LED screen in mid-air.

Injury time.

There are about three minutes left.

We can't give up.

[Shock Points Gained: 158426]

If I could get tens of thousands more Shock Points, could I redeem two [UEFA All-Star Blind Boxes]?
He sprinted towards the net, lifted the ball, patted Benaglio and Ricardo on the head as he went, and then turned and ran towards the center circle.

Upon seeing this, the Wolfsburg teammates quickly followed behind the Chinese teenager.

few minutes.

The time was both short and long.

Command area.

Black Gold and the teaching assistants were deeply moved.

"Li is not only a genius, but he also possesses outstanding moral character."

"Never give up until the very last moment!"

"This fighting spirit."

"Hey! Don't think about leaving get off work yet, you need to figure out how to pass the ball to Li!"

The other side.

Martinez waved his hand dismissively.

"The score has been tied."

"Use every last bit of time to keep pushing Li to his limits!"

The game restarted in the middle circle.

Bendtner kicked off and passed the ball back to his own half.

Li Luo and several teammates quickly rushed across the center circle.

The football rolled rapidly along the grass.

"Maranda".

"The strategy is very clear: launch the ball and find Li Luo immediately."

"How did it get so high?"

Everton's half, 40-meter zone.

Li Luo leaped high into the air.

His jumping ability is quite good.

With spatial awareness, the prediction of the ball's trajectory becomes more accurate.

98 points for a header.

ferry.

Snapped!
The football seemed to come alive, tracing an exquisite arc in mid-air before gracefully leaping toward De Bruyne on the side.

"Wow!"

"Li Luo's header pass was absolutely brilliant!"

"The quality is even higher than the ball Maranda passed with his feet!"

The moment De Bruyne lifted his foot to stop the ball.

He couldn't help but shudder.

So cool.

This tactile sensation.

An unprecedented feeling.

'Li Li's heading ability is a weakness; how can he deliver such comfortable passes?'

Just how strong is he?

No hesitation.

Stop the ball and drive it to the outside again.

Adjust, stretch.

Adjust, stretch.

Adjust again, stretch again.

Three-step adjustment.

Just as Everton's defense was forced to retreat, the Belgian midfielder spotted Li Luo's run in advance.

District 14.

For an instant.

De Bruyne seemed to be engulfed in flames, raising his arms and swinging his legs!

Snapped!
Unhesitatingly, we send out the rainbow arc!

"Wow!"

"Bendtner has kept Everton's center-back under pressure."

"The football is heading towards the 14th zone."

"Li Luo advances to District 14."

"The ball arrives, the player arrives."

"Smash it for me!"

The LED screen in mid-air shows that stoppage time has entered its final stage.

Tens of thousands of spectators held their breath, staring intently at the Chinese boy near the penalty area.

Everton's tough guys are no pushovers.

Last season, during the arduous journey to fifth place in the Premier League, we fought fiercely against many top players!

Barkley and McCarthy.

At the same time, they attacked Li Luo from both the left and right sides.

Li Luo knew everything, but Wolfsburg no longer had time to reorganize their attack.

last moment.

We must fight for our chance!
Bah!
His forehead touched the falling soccer ball.

His body, suspended in mid-air, luckily escaped the 'double-team' of two Everton midfielders, only getting a slight graze on his shoulder.

They both fell to the ground.

"oops!"

"The referee has blown his whistle."

"Everton has fouled, and Li Luo has given Wolfsburg a free kick in an excellent position!"

Li Luo is fine.

He quickly got up from Barkley.

He waved to the referee, indicating that it was fine to give them both red cards.

The referees couldn't help but laugh.

Barkley and McCarthy looked grim and tried desperately to explain.

Command area.

Black Gold and the teaching assistants were extremely excited.

last moment.

Li Luo secured a decisive opportunity.

If this free kick is taken, the game will be over.

The other side.

Martinez remained calm and loudly reminded his players to pay attention to the key details of defending set pieces.

Even a big guy like Lukaku is forced into the penalty area and becomes an obstacle!

The tens of thousands of fans at the scene were even more nervous.

Several players in Wolfsburg's squad have good footwork.

Li Luo looks like he has a really powerful free kick.

"The final moments."

"The injury time has already exceeded the allotted time."

"After Wolfsburg takes this free kick, the referee will stop the game."

“We see Caligiuri and De Bruyne both standing near the penalty spot.”

"The director zoomed in on the Italians."

"A resolute gaze."

Take a deep breath.

"Begin your running start."

did not expect.
Caligiuri stepped over the ball and continued his charge into the penalty area.

De Bruyne begins his run-up.

He knew who to pass the ball to.
Snapped.

The football flew towards the Everton penalty area.

The human wall leaped high.

Bendtner's face was squeezed into a pig's head by two Everton players.

"Back point."

"Wow!"

next moment.

The entire audience was amazed.

Li Luo seized the perfect opportunity to start from the back post, easily shaking off the 180cm tall McCarthy.

He kicked the grass hard.

He leaped into the air.

The light football, the instant it touched his forehead, instantly transformed into a powerful cannonball!
Snapped!
It was whistling.

It's spinning.

The powerful and domineering force blasted open Everton's goal.

1:2! ! !

"Kill!"

"Li Luo's decisive kill at the last moment!"

"Dapeng rises with the same wind in one day and soars up to miles."
