Chapter 77 European Cup Semi-Finals, Eva's War (Please share)

A day later, Dartford easily defeated the Polish Blitz 2-0, with Lu Kai's long pass guiding the team and successfully defeating the Polish Blitz in less than two minutes after the start of the game.

Iniesta seemed to be energized and led the Spanish Galicia team to a 5-1 victory over their opponents, and the two teams met in the semi-finals!

Three days later, at the Milanello training ground.

The UEFA Regional Cup semi-finals are about to begin.

The two teams competing are England's Dartford Royals and Spain's Galicia.

The competition was not held in an official venue, but was more like a training match.

Spectators can choose to stand directly on the sidelines, and the luxurious pond stadium experience will make the players feel at home.

Only the final of this tournament will be held in a real big stadium, where there will be more spectators and various broadcasts.

Iniesta looked around frequently and complained, "Why arrange the game in Milanello? It's in the suburbs and there's no direct bus. How are you going to get Eva here?"

"Wait, Eva! Here, I'm here, Eva!"

Not far away, Eva Green arrived.

Her arrival brought changes to the entire training ground.

Beautiful women have their own aura.

The moment Eva Green appeared, everyone felt the changes in the players on the field.

Their muscles bulged, their voices increased, and they couldn't wait to defeat their opponents and show how strong they were.

"Huh? Does our team have fans in Milan too?" Ashley Young noticed that the beautiful woman was wearing a Dartford jersey. "Could she be captivated by my gorgeous playing style? Oh my god, she's walking towards me!"

Ashley Young panicked.

Even though he often collected posters of beautiful women from page three of The Sun, when this super beauty appeared in front of him, he almost stopped breathing.

until……

"Lu! I'm not late, am I?" Eva Green rushed over and gave Lu Kai a hug.

The Dartford players all looked envious.

"Um, fan, please don't disturb our players' pre-match warm-up." Jiang Mengyun came over and pushed Eva Green aside.

Iniesta then went over to greet Eva Green and told his teammates that she was his friend.

Hidalgo was confused: "Why is your friend wearing the opponent's jersey?"

Iniesta smiled slightly: "Even though she wears a Dartford jersey, she doesn't necessarily support Dartford."

"We're wearing the Galicia jersey, but we're Barcelona or Celta players, right?"

"Maybe she just bought a Dartford jersey because she couldn't buy ours?"

"Isn't it normal to buy a jersey of a seventh-tier English team at AC Milan's training ground in Italy?"

Senel nodded. "Indeed. The commercial development of English football is something our Spanish team can learn from."

Soon, the game officially began.

Dartford is still 4213:

Ashley Young, Eastwood, Tori Madera

陆凯
Patton, Kylo

William, Benjamin, Duff, Macover
安琦
-

Head coach Alfred returns.

During the previous group stage, Jiang Mengyun served as the interim head coach.

But no matter who is the head coach, the real operator is Lu Kai.

Alfred's biggest secret to coaching is to understand Lu Kai's gestures and eyes. Jiang Mengyun still has some gap with him in this regard.

Not everyone has the talent to be a good Li Lianying.

The Galicia team chose the 442 formation.

The two forwards are Senel and Hidalgo.

Iniesta is the core of the midfield. Until 2013, the 442 formation was the absolute mainstream in professional competitions.

It accounts for more than 50%, and even 90% most of the time.

With a whistle, the game begins.

In the third minute, Iniesta passed William with a fried meatball on the wing and sent a cross.

There was sparse applause at the scene.

Some Milan players and youth training players who chose to stay at the training base during the winter break also came to watch the game today.

After this period of competition, some talents have emerged.

For example, the three players of the Galicia team, among whom Iniesta is recognized as one of the most talented players in this tournament.

Dartford has good strength and many distinctive players, but their most flamboyant and potentially most promising player, Ashley Young, is several levels below Iniesta.

Only the Italian team Palermo Youth, which also reached the semi-finals, has two players who can compare with Iniesta.

But like Iniesta, they also participated in this event through abnormal channels and are all well-known players in the Italian national youth team.

In the seventh minute, Iniesta dribbled continuously in the midfield and made a lob pass with ease, his imagination running wild.

Fortunately, Duff cleared the ball before Senel, otherwise Galicia might have scored.

"Kailo, let me keep an eye on him!" Lu Kai took the initiative to return to the backcourt to help with defense.

Iniesta smiled slightly.

He knew why Lu Kai came to guard against him.

Because Lu Kai knew that what Eva Green really liked was the Spanish football genius Iniesta!
Only the strongest person is worthy of the love of the most beautiful person!
Fight, Iniesta!

After Iniesta got the ball, he took the initiative to challenge Lu Kai and rushed forward with the ball.

Lu Kai was stunned.

He simply stretched out his foot and easily completed the steal.

Then a long pass to Ashley Young.

The latter cut inside and shot threateningly, creating a corner kick.

The Galicia coach frowned. "How could Iniesta make such a low-level mistake? He didn't need to rush at the opponent. Lu Kai performed well on both offense and defense."

"Hey, Iniesta..."

The Galicia coach reminded Iniesta to use his brain more and not challenge Lu Kai.

Iniesta finally calmed down.

In the 14th minute, Iniesta orchestrated a brilliant attack.

He then made a forward run without the ball, preparing to send a through pass.

boom!
Lu Kai got ahead of Iniesta and cleared the ball.

[Focus on marking] + [Mobile roadblock]!
After Iniesta lost the ball, he immediately looked towards the sidelines.

Luckily, Eva Green wasn't looking at him.

Otherwise, Eva would be so disappointed.

Hidalgo noticed Iniesta's movements and shook his head helplessly.

Even Eva Green has never seen you from beginning to end!
People have been keeping their focus on Lu Kai's perspective, okay?

The worse you perform, not only will people not be disappointed, but they will even have higher hopes for you!
In the 16th minute, Iniesta organized an attack again.

After crossing the half court, Lu Kai signaled Patton to actively press.

Iniesta turned around and dribbled the ball, and after getting rid of it with his personal ability, Lu Kai on the side found an opportunity to poke the ball away.

[Focus on man-to-man defense] + [Basic help defense]!
Iniesta grew increasingly angry.

Lu Kai always interrupted his offensive rhythm, which greatly reduced his performance in front of Eva Green.

Despicable Lu!

In that case, let me show you the true strength of "Barcelona Maradona"!
