Chapter 160 The Confederations Cup Final Begins, a Dominant Performance that Shocks the World!

As soon as Bailey's prediction came out, it immediately detonated public opinion.

There's no other way, Bailey is a famous crow's mouth!

Starting from the 1990 World Cup, Pele has made predictions every time.

As a result, without exception, all the popular teams were defeated by him.

In the 1990 World Cup, Pele was optimistic about Yugoslavia.

Yugoslavia was eliminated by Argentina in the quarter-finals.

This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that after this World Cup, Yugoslavia disintegrated and there was no chance of revenge against Argentina.

In 1994, Pele predicted that Colombia would win the championship, but Colombia fell directly in the group stage. Their defender Escobar was shot dead by a local fan because of an own goal error, which caused a tragedy in football.

In addition to the two worst teams, France, Argentina and even their own national team Brazil have also been fooled by his predictions.

Because of Bailey's crow's mouth attribute, fans respect and fear him, even to the point of fighting against him.

During the last World Cup, Pele predicted that Brazil would reach the final.

As a result, after hearing his prediction, the Brazilian media directly announced in the next day's report that the Brazilian team was eliminated. However, before the game started, the media reports made a huge own goal.

But the Brazilian media just made an own goal, and there was no problem with their reports. After all, at the end of the game that day, Brazil was really carried away by the Dutch...

Spain was also poisoned by Pele. During the 1998 World Cup, Pele expressed his optimism that Spain could win the championship.

However, Spain lost successively in the group stage, failed to qualify in the group, and went home directly.

The Spaniards, who had experienced the power of Pele's poisonous milk, were relieved when they heard that Pele predicted that Brazil would win the championship!

Under Pele's social account, a group of Spanish fans came to leave messages:

"Thank you to King Pele for not killing me!"

"grateful!"

“Thank you +10086!”

…

On the other side, after learning about Pele's prediction, everyone in Brazil was extremely nervous.

Why not poison the milk of Spain?

Why do you want to milk us?

They want us to die!

I'm so angry, I really want to curse!

But don't scold!

Gotta hold it in!

Pele has made outstanding contributions to the Brazilian team. He has led the team to win three World Cup championships!

Three of the five stars on the Brazilian team jersey were contributed by him.

Facing such a national football star, Brazilian players can only hold it in even if they are angry.

A Brazilian reporter interviewed Pele and asked him tactfully why he poisoned his country's team.

"Why do you all think I'm a poisonous person? Many of my previous predictions have come true!"

Bailey looked at the camera with a surprised look on his face and said:

"I think people have a prejudice against me. Yes, I have made many wrong predictions, but I have also made many successful predictions!"

"For example, in the last World Cup, I was optimistic that Germany would beat Argentina before the game. Didn't Germany win in the end?"

The reporter replied weakly:

"Then before the game you were optimistic that Brazil and Argentina would meet in the finals, but both teams fell in the quarterfinals..."

Bailey was angry:

"I will say it again, I am optimistic about the Brazilian team winning the championship. I will go to watch this game and cheer for the boys of the Brazilian team!"

Originally, Pele just made a prediction, but Brazilian fans were already very nervous.

At this time, I heard that he was going to watch the game live. The Brazilian fans were so scared that they almost cried!

"Ball King, please be kind and let our Brazilian team go!"

"Originally I was quite optimistic about Brazil, but now..."

"Pelé, who wrote a book worth millions of dollars, won't go to watch the game!"

The blood-lettings of Brazilian fans don't seem to be working.

On the day of the final, on-site cameras captured Pele sitting in a box at the Maracana Stadium.

The ball king is really here!

Sitting in the box, Bailey himself felt very uneasy.

You don’t really have a crow’s mouth, do you?

If the Brazilian team really loses this game...

At 19:00 sharp in the evening, the Confederations Cup final officially started.

When the players entered the stadium, the photographer on site specially gave Neymar and Lin Quan a comparison shot.

Obviously, the focus of today's game is these two people.

Whoever can win the game will be able to dominate his opponent.

However, before the start of this game, Lin Quan had already scored 7 goals in this Confederations Cup, tying the history of the Confederations Cup.

Neymar has scored 4 fewer goals than him, and the gap between the two is huge.

So even if the Brazilian team wins this game, there will probably still be many people supporting Lin Quan.

But if the Spanish team led by Lin Quan wins, then there will probably be no more controversy about who is stronger and who is weaker between him and Neymar.

After all, in terms of goals, assists and team leadership performance, Neymar cannot compare.

What does he do to win?

Neymar himself obviously knew this very well, so he looked at Lin Quan with hostility in his eyes.

During the handshake session between the two parties, Neymar did not let go directly after shaking hands with Lin Quan, but looked directly at him, as if declaring war on him.

I will definitely prove my strength in the competition!

The championship trophy belongs to Brazil!

Regarding the hostility and fighting spirit expressed by Neymar, Lin Quan's response was very bland.

He nodded slightly, as if to say:

Oh, then come on!

This bland response made Neymar a little stunned.

"Haha, Neymar was ignored by Lin Quan!"

"Haha, it looks like he is trying his best to defeat Lin Quan, but Lin Quan never seems to regard him as an opponent!"

"It is true that Lin Huang's opponents must be players of the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. Neymar? He is not qualified!"

Because Neymar's performance on the court is not very good, and his statistics in this Confederations Cup are not as good as Lin Quan.

Therefore, among neutral fans, Lin Quan's support rate is much higher than Neymar's.

But in Brazil, there are obviously more fans supporting Neymar.

Seeing Lin Quan's almost indifferent response, the Brazilian fans at the scene booed him.

They felt that Lin Quan was just showing off!

Aren't you a young player too?

Do you really think of yourself as a superstar?

…

After all the pre-match procedures were completed, the players from both sides took their respective positions.

Lin Quan took a look at the position of the players on the opposite side and discovered that the Brazilian team's formation today was 4231.

This is an offensive and defensive formation.

Spain's formation today is 433, but they do not have a forward pivot forward.

Pedro, Lin Quan and David Silva at the front are not traditional forwards.

So 433 was just a cover. After the fight started, Spain immediately became a frontless formation.

Regarding the Spanish team's formation, Brazil has already expected it.

Spain's formation in this Confederations Cup has hardly changed. When they encounter strong teams, they play their best no-forward formation.

Use the numerical advantage in the midfield to firmly control the ball at your feet, and then use continuous passes to tear open the opponent's defense and complete the fatal blow.

Only when they encounter a weak team will they put a traditional forward like Torres into the starting lineup and let him act as a fulcrum in the frontcourt.

In order to limit the Spaniard's midfield advantage, the Brazilian team played two defensive midfielders in this game.

Both of them are sweeping midfielders with good physical strength, wide running range and strong impact.

One is Gustavo, who plays for Bayern, and the other is Paulinho, who was signed by Tottenham for 17 million pounds.

Among these two people, Lin Quan and Gustavo have played against each other.

As for Paulinho, Lin Quan has watched him play in Evergrande and knows that he is a B2B midfielder.

He has plenty of physical energy, strong defense, strong impact, and has good passing and long-range shots. He is nicknamed - Violent Bird!

Although he has not yet shown his strength in the five major leagues, he must not be a weak player if he can be selected for the Brazilian national team.

In this game, the stranglehold between the two sides in the midfield will probably be fierce.

Lin Quan thought this game would be very anxious, but he didn't expect Brazil to start attacking directly after the start.

They bypassed the midfield and directly used the full-backs to start from the backcourt and find their own forwards.

Hulk, known as the Hulk, relied on his physical advantage to get the ball during the scramble. After getting the ball, he passed the ball to Oscar while he pushed forward resolutely.

Oscar went straight into the penalty area, and the football was blocked by the Spanish defender.

But the clearance didn't go far and was caught by Neymar.

Neymar made a fake move, dodged the oncoming player, entered the penalty area and shot directly.

Casillas was well prepared. He jumped high and saved Neymar's shot.

But after the ball was saved, the Brazilian player once again grabbed the spot.

Fred followed up with a blast and kicked the ball into the empty goal!

Brazil took the lead in just one minute.

After seeing the referee confirm that the goal was valid, the Brazilian fans at the scene cheered loudly in disbelief.

Isn't this a dream?

Scored a goal in the first minute?

Spain doesn’t look as strong as expected!

At this moment, Brazilian fans felt like they were being drowned by the tide of happiness!

Spain, which was described as magical and almost invincible before the game, seemed to have fallen in front of them and was slaughtered by them!

In the box, after seeing the goal, Bailey danced excitedly!

How about it?

What did I say?

Brazil can beat Spain at home to win the championship!

Now who dares to say that I am a crow's mouth?

He felt that the hat on his head was finally coming off!

But the Spanish players will not agree!

"Sorry, my, I missed someone!"

Alba took the initiative to take responsibility, indicating that he was not optimistic about Neymar, and let him complete the shot.

"It's not your fault, it's my failure to control the landing point immediately!"

Ramos also stood up and admitted his mistake. He was not very focused just now and made mistakes in his cooperation with Cassie.

If he had been focused just now, after Cassie made the save, he should have been in control of the first shot. In that case, Fred would not have had the opportunity to make a follow-up shot.

"Okay, everyone, don't blame yourself. There is still plenty of time for the game. If you don't have time to blame yourself, you might as well think about how to equalize the score!"

The atmosphere within the Spanish team is good, and consecutive wins have allowed the players to accumulate strong self-confidence.

Although the score is now unfavorable to them, the players are not in a hurry.

I saw that the players were in a stable state, and there was no impatience or frustration.

Bosque on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried just now whether losing the ball so early would affect the players' condition.

Now it seems that I was worrying too much!

Brazilians, let you be proud for a while, and I will let you know the power of passing and controlling football later.

…

After the restart, Spain did not rush to attack.

Instead, he firmly controls the ball at his feet and patiently looks for opportunities.

Naturally, the Brazilians cannot let them control the ball so unscrupulously. If the football cannot be taken away from their feet, Brazil will not be able to launch an attack.

Therefore, including the two defensive midfielders, Brazil sent six people to participate in the press, trying to break Spain's ball possession tactics.

This level of pressing does not put too much pressure on Spain, and the tacit understanding between their players is very high.

The football was passed back and forth between the Spanish players at an extremely fast speed, while the Brazilian players on the opposite side fought for a long time without even touching the football.

The opponent's passing ability is really terrifying.

After Spain sped up the pace of the game, the Brazilian players couldn't keep up.

Is this the power of top-level pass-and-control football?

The players on the field and the Brazilian fans at the scene all felt the pressure brought by Spain's passing tactics at this moment.

Their players are very active in running, and it can even be said that they do not hesitate to use physical strength.

But their efforts were rarely successful, and almost all of them were in vain.

Football is still controlled by the Spaniards, and the rhythm of the game is firmly in Spain's hands.

In the process of football being passed at such a high speed, the Brazilian team's defense was gradually torn open.

In the 15th minute of the game, Lin Quan got the ball in the frontcourt. He dribbled the ball horizontally to the right, attracting the defensive players to come over, and then passed the ball back to Harvey behind.

Xavi passed the ball without stopping and handed it to Iniesta on the left.

Iniesta passed through the penalty area on the left side and handed it to left winger Pedro.

Pedro passed the inverted triangle back to Lin Quan who appeared at the front of the penalty area. Lin Quan continued to pass through and passed it to David Silva on the right.

Spain's passes were very fast, and Brazil's defensive players obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

When Lin Quan passed the ball to David Silva, there was no defensive player around the latter, and he got a chance to score the ball alone.

Brazil's goalkeeper Cesar's scalp was numb. The opponent's pass was too fast. If he was not the goalkeeper, he would have been driven around by the opponent's pass.

At this time, he couldn't count on his teammates and could only pounce on David Silva.

The Brazilian defenders on the left and right sides also rushed towards him like crazy, trying to destroy his shot.

Surprisingly, David Silva did not choose to hit the goal directly, but continued to pass the ball back to Lin Quan who entered the penalty area.

Lin Quan received the ball near the penalty spot, and the man in the open position became himself.

Not to mention there are no defensive players around him, even the goal in front of him is empty.

As a result, Lin Quan took advantage of the situation and pushed the ball into the empty goal easily.

The score on the field was rewritten as 1:1!

Spain tied the score in just 14 minutes.

And unlike the Brazilian's luck-based goal, Spain's goal this time was completely crushed by hard power.

Before scoring, they passed the ball 6 times in a row, completely tearing apart the Brazilian team's defense.

Even if the last goalkeeper was not Lin Quan, even if it was an eighty-year-old grandmother, he could score the ball easily.

In front of them, the Brazilian players seemed to be unable to play football. A group of people were running around chasing the ball like headless flies. The entire defense line was full of loopholes.

It can be said that this goal demonstrated the dominance of the world champion and let the world know how strong Spain's passing and controlling football can be!
