Chapter 529 Challenge the Entire Italian Defense Line

"Italy's defense should not make such mistakes!"

In front of the TV, German team coach Loew shook his head.

Manchester City's tactics are not very clever. They just use the width of the field to move the ball in a wide range to mobilize the opponent's defensive players and find loopholes.

Italy's response was actually no problem. Seeing Lin Quan still on the right, De Sciglio was left in charge of marking.

But De Sciglio's personal strength was obviously not enough to kill Lin Quan. When Lin Quan and other teammates pretended to move to the left, he also moved with him. He did not expect that Lin Quan would suddenly change his rhythm and kill him with a counterattack.

De Sciglio is not known for his speed. When the opponent takes the lead, he will definitely not be able to catch up if he turns around and chases back. This gives Spain the opportunity to penetrate the Italian defense.

As a result, Italy's seemingly impregnable defense was so easily broken by the Spanish team, or rather by Lin Quan and David Silva.

Lin Quan received the pass from David Silva without losing any speed. While running wildly with the ball, he looked up to observe the opponent's defensive position.

After breaking through Italy's defensive chain, he reached the middle position between the opponent's defensive midfielder and the back line.

Because Italy has a three-centre-back system, there is no full-back in front of Lin Quan to interfere and intercept.

After feeling the threat, the three central defenders Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzagli all began to retreat and shrink towards the penalty area.

They can let Lin Quan make a pass, but they can't let Lin Quan cut inside the penalty area to complete the shot.

Morata had already rushed to the line of the penalty area, but Giaccherini and De Rossi of the Italian team were returning to defense at this time, and cooperated with several defenders who retreated into the penalty area to build a three-dimensional siege net against Morata. .

With just one glance, Lin Quan understood that the ball could not be passed to Morata.

After ruling out Morata, he immediately looked for a second suitable target.

David Silva is on the left, far away, and his ball cannot pass two or three defensive players to the opponent's feet. If the ball is raised high, it will slow down the speed of the attack and cause the team to lose this fast break. Opportunity.

So David Silva was quickly ruled out. As a result, he only had one choice left - Iniesta!

De Rossi, who was returning to defense, saw Lin Quan glance at Iniesta. The experienced man immediately saw through the opponent's intentions, immediately changed his strategy, and handed over the task of guarding Morata to his teammates, while he moved towards Iniesta rushed over.

De Rossi can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and has excellent mental attributes. He is a midfielder with the world's top level.

Under his marking, Iniesta couldn't find any chance to catch the ball, which meant that Lin Quan had one less passing option!

Morata can't do it, David Silva can't do it, and Iniesta can't do it even more.

The other players were behind Lin Quan, and it seemed that he could only pass back.

However, just when everyone thought so, Lin Quan did not do what everyone expected.

He's still dribbling the ball forward!

"What does this guy want to do? Is he going to challenge our entire defense?"

The Italian fans in the stands were all shocked!

In front of Lin Quan is a complete defense line, the BBBC combination of Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli and Buffon!

This defense line can be called one of the strongest defense lines in football at present. If these people are younger, one of them can be removed!

This defense line has helped Juventus and the Italian national team resist opponents' attacks countless times. It is a classic defense line that has been tested in actual combat.

The Italians trust their team's defense much more than they trust the forward combination.

So when they saw Lin Quan actually trying to challenge Italy's entire defense, none of them were calm!

"This kid is too crazy!"

"Come on, Chiellini, Barzagli, Bonucci, give this kid a painful lesson and let him know how good we are!"

The Italian fans in the stands were very confident in their team's defense, but Chiellini and others looked very solemn.

This is not the first time they have played against Lin Quan. In last year's Champions League, Juventus played against Manchester City twice.

At that time, it was the three of them who guarded the defense for Juventus.

In those two games, the three of them suffered a lot at Lin Quan's feet.

Therefore, when they saw Lin Quan rushing over aggressively with the ball, alarm bells rang in their hearts, and they all heightened their vigilance!

Among the BBC trio, Chiellini took the lead. Instead of blindly attacking, he blocked his position and forced Lin Quan to slow down, creating opportunities for his teammates to intercept and steal.

The three of them cooperated very well. As soon as Chiellini moved, Bonucci and Barzagli also took action.

The three have a clear division of labor, one steps forward to intercept, one fills in to help defend, and one presses from the flank.

As long as Lin Quan slows down, he will immediately be surrounded by three people and lose the ball in a matter of minutes.

Lin Quan obviously knew this well. He glanced at Morata, who was taking advantage of the space created when Barzagli and Bonucci moved and seized the opportunity to rush forward.

Barzagli saw Lin Quan's movements and after hesitating for a moment, he chose to follow Morata.

As Morata's teammate, Barzagli is very aware of Morata's strength.

Although this kid is a bit crazy and often misses good opportunities, as long as he is online, he is a sharp blade that cannot be ignored.

Unfortunately, in these games, Morata's status has been online, so Barzagli did not dare to ignore his threat.

Although it is very difficult to pass the ball to Morata's feet from Lin Quan's position, the opponent is not an ordinary player, but a superstar who is good at creating miracles.

Things that seem almost impossible to others often happen at this guy's feet.

This made Barzagli afraid to gamble. If he lost the bet, he might be doomed.

Barzagli's choice greatly reduced Lin Quan's flank threat. He made a decisive choice, changed direction after spiking the ball, and moved the ball laterally toward the left side of the court.

Lin Quan's move put several Italian defenders at risk. He was isolated on the right side and no one could cooperate with him.

But if you let him go to the left, it will be different!

As he moves towards the left, he will be close to Morata. As the distance becomes closer, the two of them may be able to play a small range of passing and cutting cooperation.

And this is Spain's specialty, so Italy has to guard against it.

Chiellini and Bonucci immediately moved with Lin Quan who was dribbling the ball. While continuing to keep a close eye on Lin Quan, they also created an offside trap for Morata, preventing Lin Quan from passing the ball to him immediately.

After seeing Morata in an offside position, Lin Quan did not pass the ball in the first place.

Morata also had to stop rushing into the penalty area, take a few steps back, and turn his back to get the ball.

This is ready to give Lin Quan a ball!

Upon seeing this, Barzagli immediately rushed between Lin Quan and Morata, cutting off the connection and preventing the other party from cooperating.

Seeing that it was hopeless to pass to Morata, Lin Quan immediately looked for the next teammate to receive the ball. This time, David Silva, who rushed from the left wing, was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

The two are not only teammates in the national team, but also teammates in the club. They have cooperated with each other countless times and can be said to have a tacit understanding.

If these two people are really connected, Italy's goal will be really dangerous.

Therefore, Florenzi and Parolo from the Italian side rushed towards the two of them immediately, one cut off the passing line between the two, and the other rushed towards Lin Quan, hoping to cooperate with their teammates and completely surround Lin Quan. kill!

Lin could see every move of the opponent very clearly. He leaned to the left and did have the idea of ​​​​cooperating with Morata and David Silva.

But the person he most wants to pass the ball to is actually the young Iniesta.

It's a pity that De Rossi didn't take the bait. His teammates were moving, but he remained motionless. He just stared at Iniesta, making it impossible for Lin Quan's plan to be implemented.

In this case, there is only one last option left!

Lin Quan, who was dribbling the ball laterally, suddenly changed his rhythm. After smashing the ball, he accelerated towards the Italian penalty area.

And the person standing in front of him is Italy's legendary defender-Barzagli!

When Barzagli saw Lin Quan rushing towards him, his heart trembled: Good guy, are you treating me like a soft persimmon?

Barzagli's guess was correct, Lin Quan did regard him as a soft persimmon.

Among the Italian defense trio, Barzagli is the oldest.

Born in 1981, he is 35 years old this year.

Although the 35-year-old Barzagli still has defensive awareness, he even has richer defensive experience.

But his physical fitness inevitably declined.

Lin Quan didn't plan to play any fancy tricks with Barzagli. He wanted to compete in speed with Barzagli to see who was faster between the two of them!

Lin Quanbi's speed is not speed in the general sense, but reaction speed!

He did not slow down, but was still accelerating towards Barzagli.

This means that the fight between the two may only be one round, and Barzagli will only have one chance. If he makes a mistake in judgment, he will be defeated!

Barzagli obviously also understood this. He worked hard and carefully stared at the ball at Lin Quan's feet, preparing to meet Lin Quan's challenge.

The distance between the two quickly narrowed, and Lin Quan took the lead in making a move.

His left shoulder sank slightly, and at the same time he moved the ball to the outside with his left foot, seemingly intending to pass to Barzagli's right.

In the football world, major experts have done a lot of research on Lin Quan's passing style.

One of them is his shoulder-heavy fake.

Lin Quan, like Messi, is extremely fast with his feet and has strong ability to control and adjust his body's center of gravity.

This means that they can change their center of gravity at will. Even if they have already taken one foot, they can still choose to break through from the other side.

This causes the defender's defensive experience to judge the direction of the opponent's breakthrough through the change of the opponent's center of gravity to be ineffective when facing ordinary players. When facing such players, they cannot easily trust the opponent's actions, but must rely on prediction!

Because of this understanding, Barzagli's first reaction after seeing Lin Quan's actions was, was this a fake move?

No, it's not a fake move!

At this time, Barzagli has his back to the goal, Bonucci is on his left, and there is no one on his right. Going to his right is obviously the most reasonable choice.

In a flash of lightning, Barzagli made a judgment.

He stretched out his foot and intercepted Lin Quan's expected breakthrough line!

However, at the moment he made his choice, Lin Quan retracted his left foot, quickly moved the ball to the right, lightly tapped the ball with the arch of his right foot, and stepped forward. In a matter of seconds, Lin Quan completed the attack on his body. The center of gravity was adjusted and the breakthrough direction was re-selected.

Barzagli's mind was extremely clear at this time. He watched helplessly as Lin Quan completed all this at extremely fast speeds in front of him, but was unable to make any effective reaction.

His right foot hasn't even landed yet, and he can't adjust his center of gravity at all!

In front of the nimble and swift Lin Feng, Barzagli looked like a classic car that had been in service for decades, unable to keep up with the opponent's pace.

He’s old!

At this moment, Barzagli only had this thought and sigh in his mind.

If I had been a few years younger, even if I was deceived by the other party's fake moves, I wouldn't be in such a mess.

However, he was not completely desperate. Lin Quan did not break through from his right side, but chose the left side, which meant that he would go straight to Bonucci and Chiellini.

These two guys are much more flexible than my old arms and legs, especially Bonucci. This guy is only 29 years old this year and is in his prime!

Bonucci was defending Morata, and he was shocked when he saw Lin Quan passing Barzagli with lightning speed.

What a speed!

His reaction speed was also extremely fast. After realizing that something was not going well, he immediately blocked Lin Quan, preventing Lin Quan from changing direction again and shooting from the no-man's land on the left.

Bonucci's time to grab the ball was just right. Lin Quan had just completed the breakthrough against Barzagli and had not yet fully adjusted his steps and dribbling rhythm. He had a great chance to steal the ball when he stepped forward at this time. Go.

But Lin Quan seemed to have predicted the opponent's move. After passing Barzagli, he immediately chose to pass the ball.

Pass the ball?

Bonucci was shocked and immediately realized something was wrong!

As soon as he leaves, Morata's flanks seem to be empty!

Sure enough, Morata, with his back to the goal, received Lin Quan's pass.

The moment he caught the ball, Morata gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Fortunately, I was smart and turned around early so I could see Boss Lin's movements. Otherwise, without eyes in the back of my head, I would definitely not be able to cooperate with Boss Lin.

Morata knew that the opportunity was rare at this time, so he did not hesitate, leaned on Chiellini with his back, and passed the ball back to Lin Quan.

Lin Quan, who had adjusted his rhythm, was already ready to shoot the moment Morata passed the ball back.

There was a loud bang and the football flew towards the goal!
