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

Chapter 86 Post-Match Transition, Space Upgrade! (Chinese National Football Team Story)
"Faced with the formidable full strength of the Japanese army, Li Luo exemplified the ultimate heroism!"

"They showed no fear or hesitation when facing strong opponents, nor did they become hesitant and timid when on the defensive. As long as they were on the court, they dared to fight head-on with their opponents. Every attack was as powerful as a tiger, and in the end, they defeated the Japanese team with an impeccable performance!"

"We always say that football is a container of time. Tonight, it has captured a young man who shines in the Asian Cup, and it also carries the expectations of Chinese fans."

"The five-star red flag in the stands and the beam of light at the top of the Eureka Tower completed the most moving intersection in the night sky."

"We don't need to say 'wait for another term'!"

"The Yarra River will continue to flow, and the night in Melbourne will gradually calm down, but the story of this night, and Li Luo of this night, will forever remain in our hearts."

He Wei was unable to calm down for a long time.

There was no mention of "the truth of life," "dandelions," or "Maupassant" covered in syphilis; only heartfelt sighs.

All eyes were on the young Chinese player on the green field.

Chinese fans used the simplest and most straightforward language to describe to their friends and family what happened tonight: Li Luotian descended to earth and crushed the Japanese team!

suddenly.

The melody of the song spread slowly with the evening breeze, gradually intertwining and converging with the churning of the red ocean.

The synchronized chorus was like a blazing flame.

After countless days and nights of waiting, the night wind carries the song, delivering this victory to every corner.

Red flags fluttered in the wind, seemingly dyeing the Melbourne sky red.

On the green football field.

Most of the players lay on the grass, unwilling to move.

In the final twenty minutes of the match, the Japanese team continuously increased their pace and launched suicidal positional attacks, causing both sides to be severely exhausted.

The net playing time in the game is a completely different concept compared to usual.

Only Li Luo was still able to run energetically to the sidelines and interact with the fans.

After a while.

The referee team handed the game ball to the Chinese hero.

According to the rules, a player who completes a hat-trick can permanently own the ball used in that match.

"Li, can I take a picture with the fourth official and the referee?"

"The other side used so many dirty tricks, pulling me so many times, why didn't you give me any cards?"

"."

The advertising boards along the field were covered with the logos of the Asian Cup sponsors.

Zhang Linpeng remained calm in the face of the reporters' barrage of questions.
"Did I see through the feint by the main Japanese force in Europe?"

"No, the head coach specifically instructed us before the game: don't worry about whether they're faking it or not, just bring intensity to them! Engage in active and reasonable physical contact! Don't be afraid of making mistakes."

"But after our physical condition dropped, the coaching staff reminded us on the sidelines to be careful and try to avoid unnecessary fouls and prevent the Japanese team from getting set pieces frequently."

"The victory is thanks to Li Luo. We never dreamed that he could make Japan's full-strength lineup look so bad."

"Li Luo is a true hero."

The media reporters applauded enthusiastically.

There was just too much positive material tonight.

After a while.

They left one after another, and only by going to places without the logos of Asian Cup sponsors could they have a chance to interview the big-name stars.

The reasons are complex.

The AFC Asian Cup Rights Protection Plan Guidelines do not actually protect the image rights of star players. From brand exclusivity clauses to competition rules, from the protection of individual rights to the influence of unspoken cultural rules, multiple complex factors are intertwined behind the scenes.

The Japanese team was extremely frustrated.

In this battle, they were utterly defeated.

Kawashima Eiji removed his gloves, buried his head deeply in his knees, his shoulders heaving, and kept muttering that he was a sinner.

Keisuke Honda got up, clenched his fists, looked around, and shouted, "Get back to work!"

"We should be grateful to an opponent like Li Luo."

"He is helping Chinese football become stronger, and he is also helping other Asian countries become stronger."

"Failure is not terrible; what is terrible is that we do not know why we fail. Japanese football needs to seriously reflect on this and learn from our failures."

Everyone remained dejected.

Makoto Hasebe's face was bitter: "Tonight's duel with Li Luo was terrifying; it was pure torture."

This eighteen-year-old Chinese genius is like a great demon king, who may suppress the major powers of Asia for many, many years to come.

The sidelines not far away.

The Japanese assistant coach and staff of the island nation's football association looked solemn and began to reflect. They planned to spend several years reflecting on this match: they were sure they could find Li Luo's weaknesses!
Post-match press conference.

Perrin felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a disaster.

"I was really scared when Japan pulled one back."

"My subsequent adjustments were mediocre and did not completely solve the problem."

"Fortunately, we have Li Luo."

"He dribbled past the goalkeeper and killed the game! He killed Japan's will to fight back!"

"As the head coach of the Chinese national team, I deeply felt at that moment that when the danger was over and safety was confirmed, the stress hormones dropped rapidly, and the brain secreted dopamine and endorphins, creating a wonderful feeling."

"We're so lucky to have Li Luo!"

clap clap clap!
There was warm applause.

Reporters from various countries applauded the Chinese coach's candor.

In the first half of the match, Perrin's tactical deployment was well received.

The first phase of relentless pressing and the second phase of physical battles, to some extent, helped Li Luo disrupt Japan's passing and control rhythm.

As for the final stage, perhaps only a top coach of Mr. Black Gold's caliber would have the courage and means to withstand Japan's suicidal attack in the final moments.

A few minutes later.

Aguirre appeared in the auditorium, his face ashen.

"There's not much to say about this match."

"It was a nightmare!"

"It's just terrible."

"However, I have confidence in the future of the Japanese team!"

"Chinese football is gradually declining, and Li Luo cannot change the trend. Meanwhile, Japan's youth training system has nurtured countless outstanding successors!"

"Years later, ten years later, twenty years later, over the long course of time, generation after generation of Japanese players will always have the opportunity to defeat Li Luo of the Chinese team!"

Shinji Kagawa, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

His idea was different:
That's right, Japanese players will have to face Li Luo for many more years. But who knows how many nightmares they'll have to endure?

I don't want to think about what will happen a few years from now.

Li Luo's outstanding performance and exemplary role in the 2015 AFC Asian Cup in Australia will inspire countless young Chinese football players who love the sport.

The whole style has changed. If the people in charge of Chinese football were even slightly sensible, they would have implemented scientific youth training reforms.

ten years?

Fifteen years?
Twenty years?
Back then, when Li Luo was 28, 33, and 38, the Chinese team he led couldn't have been much worse than it is now, right? Maybe it would have been even stronger!

Such cases are not uncommon in football history.

Simply providing a positive and inspiring national idol for children who are already deeply involved in youth football training can change many things.

Li Luo returned to the locker room and took a shower.

【mission completed. 】

[Mission Response: It was just a fantasy after a crushing defeat. Wow! It's not a fantasy, it's real! You defeated Japan's entire starting lineup! Well done! A hero of Chinese football against Japan!]

[Mission Reward: Spatial Awareness Module - Upgrade!]

Rumble.

Rumble.

It was accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder.

A small, crystal-clear crystal appeared before my eyes.

Snapped.

Tiny crystals transformed into specks of starlight, slowly surging forth.

Li Luo involuntarily closed his eyes.

In spatial perception, the geometric model is broken down into small building blocks, which then transform into dense lines that extend continuously on the planar view.

It's gotten thinner?
No need to switch back and forth between geometric and planar shapes to deconstruct the game anymore?
not that simple.

As his thoughts shifted, he was even able to trace back to his past tactical battles with Dortmund, Leverkusen, and Schalke 04!
Countless lines extend, a perfect recap.

He extended his index finger and made a light stroke.

The originally scattered lines began to rotate with the fingertips.

Leverkusen's midfield maestro, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, delivers passes with every touch and every passing route, creating traceable trajectory nodes.

Another horizontal stroke.

Dortmund's Reus's inside cut-in route could actually shift half a meter towards the center, instantly creating a new line. The shooting angle that was originally blocked by the defender was now seen by Li Luo as a possibility for a diagonal pass into the penalty area.

Reach out and grab it.

As Schalke 04's central defensive line closed in, Li Luo clearly saw three possible breakthrough routes. Based on his tactical understanding, he could immediately assess the different risks associated with each route.

Spatial perception → Controller.

Li Luo opened his eyes and returned to the real world.

what?
I've evolved?

The ability to acquire information and trace back has become much stronger!

Watching videos can save you countless tissues... cough cough, I mean draft paper, saving you a lot of time.

During the competition, there is no need to frequently switch spatial perception models, and there is no need to repeatedly "build blocks" or "lay out the plane" in different battle situations.

At last.

Even when you have access to information, you still need to rely on your own judgment to make crucial decisions.

Humph.

I, Li Luo, have gotten to where I am today entirely through my own efforts.
Dark blue, add some!
[Shock Points Gained: 604523!]

The match against Japan garnered over 600,000 "shock points" in Melbourne.
After the next round of the semi-finals, I estimate I can redeem another super blind box.

A super blind box that can unlock the power of origin!
The previous ball control module had already greatly improved his combat effectiveness.

Take back your thoughts.

Li Luo suddenly missed opponents like Everton, who always brought him good fortune. The on-site gains plus the overflowing shock value could always be exchanged for two Europa League blind boxes at once.

Back at the national football team's camp.

I listened carefully to the coaching staff's debriefing.

Li Luo didn't go anywhere; he obediently returned to his single dormitory.

I took out my phone and pressed the power button.

Drop drop drop.

A series of rapid beeping sounds.

The message list was completely full.

The first few entries were all names of Mr. Black Gold and his Wolfsburg teammates.

Maranda quickly filmed a video: in the morning light, the training field was bathed in light, with obstacles arranged irregularly, and Xiao Heidan dribbled past five people in a row, mimicking his previous feat.
Bendtner said he wanted to start writing his autobiography, "The Days I Fought Alongside Li Luo," in order to earn some money.

De Bruyne's message was somewhat puzzling, saying he was hesitant about next season.

After replying to each question carefully, Li Luo put down his phone.

If my teammates send me more messages later, I probably won't reply, since we'll be seeing each other every day back at the club.

Perhaps the upgrade of the spatial perception module drained my body, and fatigue instantly swept over me.

unconsciously.

Li Luo lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

In the east, the rooster crows at dawn.

News reports are being released one after another.

People's Daily: Li Luo, a Hero of China.

Xinhua News Agency: Li Luo scores three goals to eliminate Japan, leading the Chinese national team into the Asian Cup semi-finals.

Li Luo equaled Ali Daei's Asian Cup goal record.

"Dribble past five players! Chinese prodigy Li Luo creates an epic moment, single-handedly defeating the Japanese team!"

A stunning arc that pierced the Melbourne night sky! The desperate Japanese goalkeeper.

Let's count together how many Japanese players Li Luosheng ate? And how did he eat them raw?

Legendary feud? Maradona and Matthäus stage another "Duel of the Horses"!

A lengthy analysis (over 10,000 words): How Li Luo led the Japanese team step by step to collapse, extinguishing their last-minute comeback.

"Master Coach's Class: Perrin's player selection and tactical deployment once achieved a perfect match, so why is he considered inferior to Mr. Blackgold?"

Li Luo's video compilations have dominated the trending topics on the internet.

The number of comments, likes, and shares skyrocketed.

With the Chinese New Year just around the corner, Li Luo is likely bringing joy and celebration to people all over the country.
-
Japanese fans were brought to tears by Li Luo's performance and even gave him a bunch of cringeworthy nicknames.

Watching the live stream, I was on tenterhooks! I was really worried that Xiaozair would catch up in the final stages! But Li Luo wiped them out completely.
-
[That's awesome! Li Luo beats up the Japanese devils!]
-
Before the match, I was prepared to lose, given the significant difference in overall strength.
-
The Chinese national football team's opponent in the semi-final is Australia. As long as Perrin's tactics are effective and Li Luo maintains his form, we have a chance to overcome them!
-
[In the history of Chinese football, there has never been a single Asian Cup trophy.]
-
[Li Luo, keep going!]
