Chapter 159 Pele: I Am Optimistic About Brazil Winning the Championship! Brazil: I'm Not, I Didn't, Don't Talk Nonsense!

Lin Quan nodded silently, without saying much, and immediately let Pirlo see his defensive ability with a fierce fight.

Yes, Lin Quan's defensive ability is indeed not strong, but this guy's physical fitness is good!

Pirlo is 1.77cm tall and weighs only 69 kilograms.

Lin is 173cm tall but weighs 73kg.

In addition, Lin Quan is ten years younger than Pirlo, which makes the physical confrontation ability of the two sides completely different.

Lin Quan failed to snatch the ball from Pirlo's feet, and he had no such intention.

He simply adds intensity to Pirlo, interferes with his catching and passing, and prevents Pirlo from receiving and passing the ball comfortably.

Pirlo is Italy's midfield brain and the most important link in the Italian system.

Restricting his shots is equivalent to cutting off an arm of Italy.

Sure enough, after Lin Quan entangled Pirlo, Italy's offensive firepower suddenly dropped.

On the contrary, Spain took advantage of the opponent's opportunity to launch several threatening attacks.

In the 68th minute, Harvey took a corner kick from the right, and Ramos jumped high in the middle and headed the ball slightly higher.

In the 75th minute, Lin Quan passed the ball after a breakthrough, and Iniesta sent a pass that penetrated the Italian defense.

Pedro, who was outflanking in front of the goal, grabbed a shot and was blocked by Buffon with his legs. Spain missed the opportunity to expand the score.

In the 77th minute, Xiaofa sent a long diagonal pass from his own half. The ball flew over half of the field and found Lin Quan who had come to the wing.

Lin Quan caught the football at high speed, dribbled the ball inward, passed Bonucci who was defensively behind, and entered the penalty area!

The passing distance of this ball was more than 60 meters. Because the speed was too fast, the Italians had no time to defend.

After passing Bonucci, Lin Quan got the opportunity to challenge the goalkeeper one-on-one.

Buffon chose to attack this time. When he was close to Lin Quan, he stared at Lin Quan with all his attention and was ready to save at any time.

In this encounter, Buffon's situation was even worse than the last time.

The Italian defender is still far away from Lin Quan, and Lin Quan has more time to complete this attack.

Lin Quan glanced at Buffon and decisively hit the goal.

This is a ground ball that not only hits the ball at a tricky angle, but is also very fast.

Seeing the opponent's kick hitting the goal, Buffon secretly thought something was wrong.

In order to prevent being passed, he did not choose to completely lower his center of gravity, but this caused his speed to save the ground ball to be half a beat slower than normal.

When masters compete with each other, this half shot is very fatal.

Buffon's reaction speed is already top-notch. When he saw Lin Quan hitting the goal, he already stretched his legs to intercept it.

But the football was one step ahead of him and had already slipped past him before he could stretch his legs to intercept.

Failing to touch the ball, Buffon could only hope that the opponent's shot missed the goal!

But unfortunately, this did not happen.

The angle of the ball was quite tricky, and the football almost flew into the net against the inside goal post.

Even if Buffon blocks it in time, he may not be able to touch the ball.

What a terrible guy!

Thinking of this, Buffon's eyes changed when he looked at Lin Quan.

He thought of the top shooters he had played against, and Lin Quan gave him the same feeling as these people.

…

If Lin Quan's first goal only helped the team establish an advantage and made Spanish fans feel a little relieved.

Then the second goal allowed them to completely seal the victory.

When Italy's offense was unable to pose a threat, it was too difficult for them to score 2 goals in less than 20 minutes.

The Spanish fans finally felt relieved at this time. They waved their flags vigorously and chanted the names of the players on the field. Many of them even shouted championship slogans.

As the team's number one hero, Lin Quan, who scored this goal, received the most cheers and applause.

Lin Quan himself was also very excited. He quickly ran to the sidelines and was about to celebrate when he saw Cesc Fabregas running up after sending this precise long pass.

Lin Quan suddenly came up with a very interesting celebration action.

So he pretended to hold the fishing rod in his hand and made a swinging motion.

Fabregas was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, pretending to be a fish, and approached Lin Quan one by one on the ground, as if he was a big fish caught by a fishhook.

The teammates laughed loudly, and each one cooperated very well and ran over to pick up Xiaofa, the big fish, horizontally, showing the joy of their harvest to the audience.

What’s even more funny is that Ramos also pretended to squat down in front of everyone, pretending to have a camera in his hand, and helped everyone take photos.

The audience at the scene was stunned at first, wondering what the Spaniard was playing.

But when they reacted, almost everyone in the audience laughed.

The Spanish team is doing too much!

This goal celebration is really creative and makes fans who are used to regular celebrations shine in the eyes.

Many fans even want to watch it again, but if they want to watch it again, Spain needs to score another goal.

Not to mention the fans at the scene, the Spanish team's celebration quickly became popular on the Internet.

Many fans cut out this video and paired it with various spoof music, which quickly spread throughout social networking sites.

"Haha, the Spanish team is so talented!"

"Who the hell came up with this celebration? My stomach hurts from laughing!"

"The results are good, the game is fun to watch, and they are so creative. I love this team!"

“I really want to watch it again!”

"Hey, don't worry, I'll have a chance to show it off when I meet the Brazilian team in the final. I hope Spain can come up with something new by then!"

"Team Spain, please!"

"Spain, please!"

"Brazilian team, please!"

"???"

"I understand what the person above said. He means that only when the Brazilian team loses can we appreciate such creative celebrations!"

"I see, then Brazil, please!"

"Brazilian team, please!"

…

On social networking sites, a big V who is also a die-hard fan of the Brazilian team saw the score between Spain and Italy and felt that Italy was probably going to be carried away.

So he immediately launched a vote on his social platform:

In the Confederations Cup final, which team do you prefer to win the championship?

A: Brazil

B: Spain!

After initiating the vote, Big V felt that it was okay.

Brazil has a population of over 200 million, while Spain has a population of only 40 million.

200 million VS 40 million, the advantage is mine, I will definitely win!

At the beginning, the voting column showed the support data for the two teams as he expected. Fans who supported the Brazilian team were significantly ahead of those who supported the Spanish team.

But things soon started to go wrong.

I don’t know what happened, but the number of people supporting the Spanish team to win suddenly surged.

Not only did it surpass the Brazilian team's support rate, but it also led them by a large margin.

So much so that in the end, the Brazilian team's support rate was almost invisible to the Spanish taillights.

Big V looked depressed: Are the outside world really so optimistic about Spain and so negative about Brazil?

…

After being scored two goals by Spain, everyone in Italy was stunned.

They recalled the painful memories of being massacred by Spain in the European Cup final last year.

A feeling of frustration quickly spread within the team.

Not willing to fall behind, Prandelli immediately made substitution adjustments, with Giovinco and Aquilani coming on as substitutes.

Italy tried to strengthen their offensive and regain the score.

However, with Pirlo restricted, stacking forwards in the frontcourt will not solve Italy's weak offensive situation.

On the contrary, after replacing Marchisio and other defenders, their defensive ability dropped a lot.

In the 86th minute of the game, Spain launched a quick counterattack.

After Lin Quan entered the penalty area, he selflessly passed the ball to his following teammates. David Silva shot through the Italian goal for the third time.

Spain leads Italy 3:0.

Including injury time, the game time was less than 10 minutes, and Spain, which led by three goals, completely sealed the victory.

After this goal was scored, the Italian side finally recognized the reality. They knew that they could not reverse the score.

However, the Italians still couldn't accept the ending of being kept clean by Spain.

So in the final stage of the game they were still trying hard to attack.

In the second minute of stoppage time, a Spanish player fouled outside the penalty area, giving Italy a good free kick opportunity.

Pirlo stood at the penalty spot, glanced at the Spanish wall, and chose to hit the goal directly.

The quality of this free kick was extremely high. The football flew over the wall and suddenly fell in the air.

This erratic trajectory affected Casillas' judgment and he failed to save the ball.

Before the end of the game, Italy finally had a goal scored by veteran Pirlo, finally saving some face.

Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The Spanish players celebrated with high fives, celebrating that they successfully passed the semi-finals and advanced to the final.

On the Italian side, frustrated expressions can be seen on the faces of almost all players.

He lost to the same opponent twice in a row within a year, and both times were in situations where he was beaten with almost no ability to fight back.

This made the Italians involuntarily feel Spanish-phobic, and they never wanted to encounter Spain again!

Regarding losing, Pirlo is very open-minded. He has already led the team to win the World Cup championship trophy.

So he didn't see any frustrated expression on his face, but instead comforted his teammates one by one.

At this time, I saw the Spanish team going around the field, thanking the fans present, and about to leave.

So Pirlo took off his jersey and walked towards the opponent's crowd, preparing to exchange jerseys with his opponent.

When the Spanish players saw Pirlo coming over, they all looked at Xavi.

The two have the same position and are both midfield commanders of their respective teams. Most likely Pirlo came to Xavi to exchange jerseys.

Xavi thought so too, so he was about to go up and say hello to Pirlo.

"Sorry Javier, I'm here to see Lin!"

Pirlo smiled and apologized to Xavi, and directly spoke to Lin Quan:

"Boy, would you like to exchange jerseys with me?"

Lin Quan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Pirlo to come over specifically to exchange jerseys with him.

The players from both teams looked over curiously.

Pirlo seems to value that kid very much!

He actually went to him in person to exchange jerseys!

After Lin Quan reacted, he quickly took off his jersey and handed it to Pirlo.

"You are a good prospect who can play in the midfield. It would be a shame not to play in the midfield!"

After Pirlo got his jersey, he hugged Lin Quan and patted him on the back.

Lin Quan still played a frontcourt free man in this game, playing many positions.

And his performance in the midfield position made Pirlo's eyes shine.

That's why I made such a sigh.

"Thank you for your compliment. The responsibilities of a midfielder do not necessarily have to be limited to the midfield position!"

Lin Quan replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

There are constantly emerging future talents of various talented coaches in football.

Players' positions on the field are not fixed.

Just like the once popular classical midfielder has almost disappeared.

The organizing midfielder may also disappear, and passers with organizational skills may appear at the full-back and center-back positions.

Pirlo nodded and did not continue to discuss this topic with Lin Quan. Instead, he went to Xavi to reminisce.

Both are top midfield masters, and they are both very young.

So when we meet on the field, there is a feeling of sympathy between each other.

At their current ages, after next year's World Cup, they may all fade out of the five major leagues.

So this meeting, for the two of them, may be their last meeting in the national team.

…

After Spain eliminated Italy, the most anticipated plot of this Confederations Cup finally took place!

The host nation, five-star Brazil, faces former world champion Spain!

On one side is Brazil, which has won the most World Cup titles so far.

On one side is Spain, the last World Cup champion and currently ranked number one by FIFA!

Their strong collision also represents the collision between European football and South American football.

At the same time, the two supernovas will also have a direct conversation on the final stage and compete!

As a result, more than 80,000 tickets had been sold out before the game even started.

The Brazilians, who are playing at home, hope to see their team win the cup at home and make a good start for next year's World Cup.

Fans in Spain hope that the team can win the Confederations Cup, complete the Grand Slam of various competitions, and completely establish the dynasty of the Bulldogs!

Before the game, celebrities from both countries stood up to express their support for their respective teams.

Brazilian stars such as Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho expressed their optimism about Brazil winning the championship, believing that the young men of the Brazilian team can perform miracles at home and overthrow the powerful Bullfighting Legion.

Raul, Hierro and others said that the invincible Spanish warships will knock over all opponents!

Whether it's Ronaldinho or Raul Hiero.

Their cafe seats are a bit smaller.

Of course, this kind of prediction must have the two biggest players in today's football come forward to have any weight.

Spain found Maradona.

Maradona is Argentinian and naturally doesn't like to see Brazilians being proud.

In addition, Spain's strength is indeed superior, so Maradona expressed his support for Spain and believed that Spain could win the championship.

When the Brazilians saw that the Spaniard had invited the world champion Maradona, their faces turned bitter.

Although they also have a football champion, they don’t dare to invite him!

The Brazilians didn't dare to ask Pele to take action.

Bailey couldn't sit still:

"I'm optimistic about the Brazilian team winning the championship at home!"
