Chapter 401 Spain VS China Team

The warm-up match was not a formal match, and the opponents were relatively weak, so some young players in the Spanish team seemed a little careless.

It’s just the Chinese team, so it’s not easy to handle?

Seeing how they looked down upon their enemies, the veteran players in the team couldn't stand it anymore.

"We have played the Chinese team before, with good defense and average offense. In the last friendly match, they hardly posed any threat to our goal. But if we are careless and underestimate the enemy, we might get a clean sheet by them!"

On the training ground, David Silva, who participated in the last warm-up match, spoke.

He was talking about the warm-up match three years ago. At that time, Spain was also preparing for the upcoming European Cup, so it chose two relatively weak Asian teams, the South Korean team and the Chinese team, for the warm-up match.

In the warm-up match on May 31, Spain easily defeated South Korea with a score of 4:1.

Considering that the national football team is weaker than the South Korean team, everyone in Spain feels that this game should be easier.

The handicap offered by the outside world is that the Spanish team is conceding two and a half goals, and almost everyone is optimistic that they will win a big victory.

However, the result of the game was shocking. Spain, which had an absolute advantage in the game, was unable to score in the face of the national football team's defense. They stormed for more than 80 minutes before David Silva finally scored a goal, and finally ended with 1: 0 small victory over the national football team.

This game left a deep impression on everyone in Spain and made them fully aware of their own shortcomings, that is, their weakness in attack.

It's just that the Spanish team has been unable to solve this problem, so that a year later it struggled extremely hard to play in the World Cup preliminaries, even a weak team like Georgia could not win.

Fortunately, Lin Quan's emergence and Del Bosque's immediate decision to recruit him into the Spanish team finally solved this stubborn problem in Spain.

After they planned Diego Costa, when the outside world evaluates this Spanish team, they will no longer say that they are weak.

After all, the whole world could see the ferocious firepower of the Spanish team in last year's World Cup.

"Really or not? Is the national football team so powerful?"

Morata looked like I don’t have enough education, so don’t lie to me.

He doubted David Silva's words: We have Lin Ge and a striker like me in the team, but we can't win against a third-rate team like the National Football Team?

You're teasing me!

Isco and other young players also came over curiously.

They all looked at Lin Quan. Lin Quan is a Chinese player. He should have a better understanding of the strength of the Chinese team, right?

Seeing everyone looking at him, Lin Quan coughed lightly and said:

"Don't underestimate the national football team!"

"Why? I don't think their record is that good either?"

Morata scratched his head. The performance of the Asian teams in last year's World Cup was extremely difficult. All participating Asian teams failed to win even a single game and almost all were eliminated at the bottom.

And in such a large region, the national football team has also missed three consecutive World Cups. This strength does not look very strong!

"Haha, haven't you heard a sentence?"

Lin Quan said with a smile: "The national football team in the main game can only be regarded as third-rate or even fourth-rate, but in the warm-up match, the strength of the national football team can be improved to a higher level. The French team was defeated by them back then."

ah? Can't the French team beat them?

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Spanish team members became much more serious.

Although the French team is not Spain's opponent, they are definitely a strong team in Europe.

If the national football team can defeat the French team, it is indeed possible for them to capsize.

Facing such an opponent, the Spanish team, which is number one in the world, must go all out.

If it accidentally capsized in the gutter, wouldn't it be embarrassing if word got out!

"Don't hold anything back in tomorrow's game, show up with all your strength, and try to score goals!"

Seeing that everyone's expressions became serious, Lin Quan spoke to Morata and several other friends.

"Well, Brother Lin, we listen to you!"

Several people nodded heavily. They were all Lin Quan's followers and naturally obeyed Lin Quan's words.

The team is going through a painful period of transition between old and new players. During this period, Del Bosque will give many young players opportunities.

But whether they can gain a foothold in the national team depends on their own performance.

Under this circumstance, these young players who were recruited are very motivated and want to impress the coaching staff with their outstanding performance on the field and confirm their identity as a national team player.

Under the leadership of Lin Quan, these young players performed extremely actively and seriously on the training ground.

This serious momentum and strong fighting spirit made the coaching staff on the sidelines nod with satisfaction:

"Yes, the young players have strong fighting spirit. There are no cheating, cheating, or lack of serious training!"

"Haha, it's mainly Lin Quan who took the lead!"

"Yeah, he's so strong, and he's so meticulous in training, and even trains himself more often. How can other people have the nerve to be lazy?"

After hearing the discussions from the coaching staff, Del Bosque was very satisfied.

I didn't expect that my arrangement of promoting Lin Quan to vice-captain would have such an effect, which was a bit unexpected.

But this is a good thing. Among the younger generation of Spanish players, few have talents and abilities that can match those of international players such as Xavi and Iniesta.

If they cannot train seriously and hard, then the strength of the Spanish national team will definitely decline.

Now, with Lin Quan taking the lead, these players can guard against arrogance and impetuosity, recognize their own strength more quickly, and use harder training to make up for their lack of talent.

In this case, the future Spanish team may not be as good as this one in terms of upper limit, but the lower limit should not be much worse.

After all, with Lin Quan, the Spanish team can become a world-class team no matter what.

As for whether they can still remain No. 1 in the world, it depends on the rise of other strong teams.

After realizing that this generation of players cannot compete with Spain, many European teams have accelerated the promotion of young players.

Among them, Deschamps, the coach of the French team, did it the fastest and best.

When thinking about the French team Deschamps is building, Del Bosque feels a lot of pressure.

"It seems that in tomorrow's friendly match, we need to arrange for some young players to come out for training!"

Deschamps dares to promote and reuse young people, why doesn't Vicente del Bosque dare?

On the training ground, when Del Bosque announced tomorrow's starting lineup, it immediately attracted bursts of cheers from the young players.

There are 8 players born in the 1990s in tomorrow's starting lineup.

Among the old players, except Ramos and Lin Quan, all others rested on the bench.

Of course, there is no restriction on substitutions in friendly matches, so there is a high probability that these veteran players will get a chance to play in the second half.

After all, with so many fans coming to watch the game, we can't just let a bunch of substitutes come on to fool people all the time!

…

The Spanish team has many stars and is extremely famous. In addition, there is Lin Quan, the number one player in football, so their training ground attracted a large number of fans and reporters to watch.

Most of these reporters and fans came for Lin Quan.

So whenever they see Lin Quan making any wonderful passing, breakthrough and shooting moves on the training ground, they will scream and cheer, and the cheers are endless.

Some fans were still shouting things like "Lin is awesome" and "Lin scores another one".

The Spanish team members couldn't understand Chinese, so they didn't know what the people outside were shouting.

After hearing their cheers and cheers, the veteran team members were kinder and calmer. We have seen this kind of situation many times.

But the young players couldn't control themselves anymore. They tried their best to show their strength in front of these fans. Even if it was a warm-up match within the team, they would treat it as seriously as a formal match.

The senior players didn't take this kind of intra-team training match seriously at first. They usually held back when dealing with young players, so as not to use all their firepower to create a psychological shadow on these juniors.

But after these young players became serious, they had to follow suit.

After all, even if they don't want to express themselves in front of these fans, they can't embarrass themselves in front of everyone!

After all, they are the main players. If they are abused by a group of substitutes, wouldn't it be disgraced if word spread?

As a result, the old team members were also forced to roll up together.

The spectators outside the stadium did not know what was happening inside the stadium, but they were deeply attracted by the game!

"As expected of the world champion, the intensity of a training match within the Spanish team was actually so high!"

"Let me go, the Spanish team is so strong. Not only is the main team extremely strong, but the strength of the substitutes is also terrifying. I'm afraid the national football team will be in trouble tomorrow!"

"Haha, what are you afraid of? Whoever the national football team beats will not lose. Anyway, it's three to zero. I can play even if I play!"

"I don't think it's necessarily 3:0. The Spanish team is so strong, maybe there will be a tragedy!"

"Not necessarily, right? The national football team is still very strong in friendly matches. The last time they played against Spain, they almost tied with their opponent!"

Although fans of the national football team generally think that the national football team will lose, almost no one thinks that the national football team will win.

But some people still hold a trace of luck in their hearts, thinking that if the national football team goes all out to set up a bus, they may be able to draw with Spain.

After all, this is their own home court, and the national football team almost did it the last time they played against each other!

While the Spanish team is preparing seriously for the game, the national football team is not idle either.

The national football coach Perlan is arranging the national football team to practice various defensive tactics.

Although Perrin is not well-known, in the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, he once led the Chinese team to win all three group matches and achieved first place in the group.

Although they quickly lost to champion Australia in the knockout stage, this result was very dazzling for the national football team, which was in a trough.

If the national football team had better luck and didn't draw Australia, the strongest team in the second group, they might have a chance to break into the semi-finals.

It is precisely because of his outstanding performance in the Asian Cup that the Football Association decided to renew Perrin's contract.

Obviously, the Football Association has high hopes for Perrin, hoping that he can lead the national football team out of the trough and launch an impact on the next World Cup.

Although Perrin is not as well-known as Camacho, he has one thing that is better, that is, he has a very serious work attitude.

When arranging tactics, they can be based on the characteristics of the national football players.

What are the characteristics of the national football team?

Poor foot skills, poor mental quality, poor physical confrontation...

Anyway, I can't find any advantages.

Since everyone's foot skills are rough, Perrin simply selected a group of players with outstanding physical fitness and let them rely on physical confrontation to make up for their lack of foot skills.

The advantage of this is that at least the physical confrontation ability has improved, and not everything is a shortcoming.

The disadvantage is that the national football team can't do anything fancy and has a single offensive method. If the opponent strengthens its defense, it may be difficult for the national football team to score goals.

But that doesn't matter for tomorrow's game.

Because they are facing the world champion Spanish team, no one is optimistic that the national football team can win tomorrow's game. Perrin and the national football players also think so.

Since we can't win, we don't need to consider the offensive problem. We need to solve the defensive problem first.

The whole world knows that the Spanish team is famous for its foot skills, but its physical confrontation ability is actually relatively average.

In last year's World Cup final, they were suppressed by the German team in physical confrontation.

Of course, the physical confrontation ability of the national football team is definitely incomparable with that of the German team.

But they don't need to pursue victory like the German team. They only need to shrink their formation to their own half, or even to a small area at the front of their own penalty area.

In this case, their defensive intensity can be greatly improved, leaving the Spanish team to thread the needle, and the space for ground penetration will be greatly reduced.

In this case, increasing the intensity of physical confrontation can be regarded as an excellent defensive strategy.

Thinking of this, Perrin decided on his tactics for tomorrow.

…

Time passed quickly, and soon it was game day.

Before the game started, the huge Bird's Nest was packed with more than 90,000 fans.

Although the national football team has a bad reputation and its record is not good.

However, there are still many fans wearing red jerseys who come to support the national football team. Visually, most of them are fans of the national football team.

They carried various slogans and banners, such as 'Don't be afraid of the national football team, just do it', 'The national football team is rising', 'The national football team can defeat Spain' and so on.

To be honest, the national football team's record is somewhat unworthy of the support of these fans.

Because it was an away game, Spain did not wear red jerseys, but chose white jerseys for away games.

The number of fans wearing white jerseys to support the Spanish team is relatively small. They don't wear the mainly white uniforms. They also wear red uniforms in most games. However, the national football team uses red, so the Spanish team naturally has no choice but to change their uniforms. .

However, the white uniforms still look pretty good. Looking from a distance, I thought it was Real Madrid on the field!

During the national anthem before the game started, all the fans stood up and sang the national anthem loudly with amazing momentum.

When it was the Spanish team's turn, the scene was silent, and even the Spanish players on the field did not speak.

The reason is that the Spanish national anthem has no lyrics...
