Chapter 530 The God of Free Kicks, Buffon Is Reduced to a Background!

"The ball is in!"

"Incredible goal, unbelievable!"

"Lin Quan almost single-handedly defeated Italy's entire defense line by relying on his personal strength!"

In the CCTV studio, the two commentators almost blew Lin Quan to the sky.

However, the audience watching this game did not think there was anything wrong with what the commentator said, because Lin Quan deserved such praise!

More than 80,000 fans in the stands of the Stade de France were all shocked after witnessing Lin Quan's goal!

This ball should only exist in the sky, how many times can it be heard in the human world?

After a moment, warm applause and cheers resounded throughout the sky.

The tens of thousands of fans at the scene gave Lin Quanbao the warmest applause and cheers. Even Italian fans couldn't help but be impressed after seeing this goal.

"Well done!"

The moment Del Bosque saw Lin Quan complete the goal, he was so excited that he ran wildly around the sidelines and hugged anyone he caught, regardless of whether he was from Spain or not.

In the stands, Guardiola's eyes widened in surprise when he saw Lin Quan completing the goal.

This ball reminded him of Messi's goal against Real Madrid, Busquets' assist of the century in that game, and the classic scene of Messi reviewing Real Madrid's defense. They are still fresh in his memory after many years.

However, Lin Quan's goal was more difficult than Messi's because he had less space for movement and the opponent's defense was more prepared.

But even so, this kid still scored the ball.

Guardiola would never believe it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

"This kid got up too early!"

Guardiola was both relieved and a little worried.

Lin Quan is in such good condition that he will inevitably be targeted by the opponent in the following games.

This makes Guardiola a little worried, worried that Lin Quan's condition will decline after being targeted by the opponent.

Including him, many people can see how important Lin Quan is to this Spanish team.

If his condition declines, it will be very difficult for Spain to go further in the European Cup.

Guardiola is thinking about long-term issues, but for Italian coach Conte, how to solve Lin Quan is an imminent problem facing his team at the moment.

If there is no way to limit Lin Quan's performance, Italy will definitely lose this game.

…

After Spain took the lead, the players' confidence increased greatly. Not only did they play more patiently, but they also became more confident.

On the other hand, Italy was obviously hit hard by the goal they just conceded.

After the game restarted, many of their players were confused and had not yet entered the state.

Some Italian players on the field wanted to attack to equalize the score.

There are also some players who feel that they should focus on defense first to block Spain's offensive climax.

There were disagreements within the team, which led to some confusion in the Italian team's play.

Spain will naturally not miss such a good opportunity.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, Spain launched another fierce attack. They still seized De Sciglio's point and hit hard.

Taking advantage of the opponent's frightened mentality, Lin Quan cooperated with the right back Juanfran on the side to easily complete the breakthrough, and then handed the ball to Juanfran who was quick to the bottom, and he pushed forward resolutely along the ribs.

Giaccherini was taken away by Juanfran, and it was De Rossi who came over to cover Lin Quan's defense.

As soon as De Rossi pounced, Juanfran passed the ball back to Lin Quan. Lin Quan saw Parolo moving on the other side, grabbed the gap in the opponent's defense, and passed the ball from the center. .

Once De Rossi left, Iniesta was freed.

Because Lin Quan, the ball holder, pressed the Italian defense, and Parolo had just completed his mobile replacement, there was no defender in front of Iniesta.

The ball was put at his feet, and he had at least a second and a half to handle it calmly.

Iniesta stopped the ball to observe. Morata, Lin Quan, and David Silva were all rushing forward. Although the opponent's formation was still intact, many problems appeared under the pull of Spain's offensive trident. Empty time.

Iniesta quickly made a choice among the three. However, just as he was about to pass the ball, he was brought down by Pellet who made a tackle from behind.

Pellet was originally running for the ball, intending to snatch the ball away from Iniesta's feet when he wasn't paying attention, but he didn't expect to hit someone instead of touching the ball.

After the foul, Pellet did not make any excuses. He directly stretched out his hand to signal that he had committed a foul, and then pulled Iniesta up from the ground.

Although Pellet had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, the referee still felt that his tackle was dangerous and showed him a yellow card.

Iniesta bared his teeth and rubbed his kicked calf. Although it was protected by a shin guard, it still hurt.

However, Pellet restrained his strength at the last moment, otherwise, he would probably be injured more seriously.

Spain's counterattack was disrupted and they got a free kick about 38 meters from the goal.

The ball is a bit far from the goal. It would be difficult to shoot directly.

So Iniesta discussed with Lin Quan, Xiaofa and others to see how to deal with this ball.

"How about a tactical coordination and let Ramos and Pique compete for the top in the penalty area?"

The overall height of Spain's lineup is not very high. Except for the goalkeeper, there are only four remaining players who are over 1.8 meters tall, including Juanfran who is 1.81 meters tall.

Therefore, there are very few people who can compete for headers in the penalty area. The most suitable candidates are naturally the two central defenders, Pique and Ramos.

In fact, Morata's header ability is also good, but this guy is not very stable, so his teammates do not place much hope on him.

Lin Quan glanced at the players on the opposite side. Chiellini was 1.87 meters tall, Bonucci was 1.90 meters tall, and the shortest Barzagli was 1.86 meters tall.

In addition to De Rossi who is 1.85 meters tall, Parolo who is 1.84 meters tall, and Pellet who is 1.94 meters tall, will Spain compete with the opponent for headers?

"How about shooting directly? We have too few high points and the opponent has an obvious height advantage. If we drop the ball into the penalty area, we will give the ball to the opponent."

Xiaofa, Xiaobai and others took a look at each other's lineup and nodded.

"Then you should take the penalty on this kick. The distance is a bit beyond my range!"

Xiaobai took the initiative to give up the ball. The distance was close to 40 meters and was indeed not within his shooting range.

Xiaofa also nodded in agreement: "Don't you have an S-shaped free kick? I think I can give it a try, why not let you kick it!"

Since both of them decided to hand over the free throw rights to Lin Quan, Lin Quan did not refuse.

He picked up the ball, stepped on the lawn hard, and then put the ball down.

Seeing Lin Quan's action, everyone knew that he was going to take the free kick.

This discovery immediately aroused the interest of fans!

Perhaps in terms of reputation, Lin Quan's free kicks are not as big as those of free kick masters such as Juninho and Roberto Carlos, but absolutely no goalkeeper dares to underestimate Lin Quan's free kicks.

Italy's goalkeeper Buffon is a victim of this!

Therefore, when he saw Lin Quan standing in front of the football on the Spanish side, Buffon immediately sounded the alarm in his heart.

From such a distance, there aren't many shooting options to choose from.

Elevator ball? S-shaped free kick?

Probably these two options?

As the most experienced goalkeeper in football, Buffon has faced countless free kick masters.

After he roughly determined Lin Quan's possible choices in his mind, he was already prepared to deal with it.

After Lin Quan placed the ball, he stepped back step by step.

After taking seven or eight steps back, he glanced in the direction of the door, took a deep breath, and started to run.

coming!

Buffon's eyes widened and he was highly concentrated, staring intently at Lin Quan's every move.

The Italian human wall was also watching Lin Quan's steps, ready to jump to intercept at any time.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Lin Quan quickly came to the football, and Buffon judged based on his steps that he was going to shoot with his left foot.

Although Lin Quan does not have an inverse foot, Buffon has studied his free kicks and found that in most cases, he uses his right foot to take the kick.

Why is it the left foot this time?

Could it be that he wants to use a new free kick method?

Although many thoughts flashed through his mind, Buffon's eyes were fixed on Lin Quan, and he could even clearly see the opponent's tight thighs and swinging calves.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you look at it.

Lin Quan's left thigh swings very little, and the ball seems to be powered entirely by his calf.

The advantage of doing this will greatly affect the goalkeeper's judgment of the ball's flight path, further squeezing their reaction time.

But why does this action feel familiar?

boom!

There was a loud noise, and the outer instep of Lin Quan's left foot was heavily slapped under the football near the valve.

The football suddenly shot up into the sky, very fast and with strong spin.

Just by looking at it, you can tell that this is a powerful and heavy shot.

Many people were amazed. How could Lin Quan have such a powerful force in his small body and be able to shoot such a powerful and heavy shot?

The Spanish and Italian fans in the stands held their breath nervously. The former was praying to God, hoping that the ball would hit and completely kill the suspense of the game.

The latter are also praying, but the content of their prayers is completely different.

Standing in front of the goal, Buffon saw the flight path of the football in the air, and the feeling of déjà vu became even stronger.

He dared to conclude that this was definitely not Lin Quan's usual free kick method!

Even though there were a lot of doubts in his mind, Buffon, as the world's top goalkeeper, was not slow at all in his reaction speed and saves.

When the ball went high over the wall and plummeted towards the upper right corner of the goal, Buffon flew over and stretched out his right hand to block the flight path of the football.

Seeing this scene, the Italian fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he is older, Buffon is still the most trustworthy person in Italy's defense.

Seeing that Buffon's finger had touched the ball, all the Spanish fans in the stands were ashen-faced.

Lin Quan's free kick was of extremely high quality, whether in terms of power, angle, flight trajectory and arc, it was all top-notch.

But it is a pity that he met the Italian goalkeeper, Buffon, who is known as the strongest goalkeeper in football.

However, just when the Italian fans felt that they were safe and the Spanish fans felt that it was over, Buffon, who had already touched the ball with the three fingers of his hand, felt a huge force suddenly come from his hand, and the palm of his hand was violently smashed. Knocked open.

What?

This is impossible!

Buffon looked at the ball in disbelief as it changed direction but still flew to his own goal. His heart felt like a huge wave.

Super long range, tricky angles, strong rotation, and powerful shooting methods.

Everything is aligned with the figure who has retired for 10 years. His name is Mihajlovic. He takes free kicks as penalty kicks and is known as the strongest free kick legend in history!

At this moment, Buffon finally determined who Lin Quan took this free kick from!

But by this time it was confirmed that it was too late, the ball was already lying in his own net.

The moment the ball crossed the goal line, the referee quickly blew his whistle to indicate that the goal was valid.

The score on the field also became 2:0. At the end of the first half, Spain further expanded its lead.

Italy has been forced into a desperate situation at this time!

Lin Quan's goal completely ignited the audience. The fans went crazy one by one and couldn't help but chant his name.

After witnessing this incredible goal, the Spanish players rushed towards Lin Quan like crazy. Morata even knelt down and worshiped him to show his admiration.

This goal was so beautiful, it was Buffon!

There are really very few people who can make Buffon save!

Seeing Morata's actions, other players followed suit and worshiped Lin Quan one after another, even some veteran players who were older and more senior than him were no exception.

This scene stunned the fans at the scene.

"Does Lin Huang have such a high status in the Spanish team?"

"Looking at the performance of those players, they really admire Lin from the bottom of their hearts!"

"Hehe, if I had such a magical teammate, I would kneel down to him too!"

This makes sense. A team leader who can lead the team to continuous victory will naturally be admired and loved by the players.

On the sidelines, Del Bosque was already crazy with joy.

He found that since Lin Quan returned to the team, it had become extremely easy for the team to win the game, and he didn't have to worry about the game while sitting off the court.

This is completely different from his state in the previous three group matches. At that time, even if the team was in the lead, Del Bosque still had no idea.

But it was different now. As long as he saw Lin Quan on the court, he felt particularly at ease.

The old coach felt relieved, but Conte couldn't sit still.

His brows were furrowed. Italy's defense was very strong, but it didn't have many offensive methods.

If you are one goal behind, you can still give it a try.

But now we are two goals behind, and it will be too difficult to reverse.

This made Conte not know what to do in the second half for a moment!
