Chapter 545 31 Eliminated the French Team and Advanced to the European Cup Finals

"Damn it, is Griezmann so strong?"

"I would like to call him little Messi!"

"The French team is gaining momentum. If we keep playing like this, we might really be able to equalize with them!"

"No, no, no, 11 men against 10 men, leading by two goals and still losing? If Spain really loses, these players on the field will be nailed to the pillar of shame!"

The fans were also shocked to see Griezmann perform so fiercely.

I thought the game was over when Pogba was sent off and Lin Quan scored the second goal. Unexpectedly, Griezmann interfered in this way and the situation became confusing again.

Although Spain still leads by one goal, no one dares to guarantee that France in this state cannot equalize or even reverse the score.

"Someone in Spain must step up as soon as possible and control the rhythm of the game. We can't let the French play like this anymore!"

Just like the timeout in a basketball game, in a football game, when one side gains momentum and launches a threatening offensive wave, the other side must find a way to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

These methods are nothing more than fouls, backcourt kicks and delaying time.

These tasks were originally done by Xavi Alonso and Xavi in ​​Spain. After these two people retired from the national team, the person controlling the rhythm of the game became a novice.

But unfortunately, Iniesta was injured in the last game and was unable to play in this game, which caused a bit of chaos in Spain's midfield.

Although Lin Quan took Iniesta's position, he was not a midfielder. He spent much more time playing winger than midfielder, which led to no one in Spain thinking of this at the first time.

Fortunately, Lin Quan reacted quickly. After successfully blocking an attack by the French team, he gestured to his teammates to slow down the rhythm of the game.

After seeing Lin Quan's gesture, the teammates breathed a sigh of relief.

This extremely fast-paced offensive and defensive battle consumes a lot of players' physical energy.

Many of them were already exhausted and out of breath. At this time, Lin Quan wanted to suppress the rhythm of the game, which was a dream for them.

So they started to cooperate with Lin Quan in a tacit understanding, creating space for him to pass the ball safely and control the ball.

The French team is working hard, and they don't feel tired at all at this time.

Seeing the Spanish team trying to control the rhythm of the game and delaying time, they naturally couldn't agree!

So, under the leadership of Griezmann and others, the French players rushed forward aggressively, trying to press Spain high.

Seeing that the opponent was coming fiercely, Lin Quan did not confront the opponent head-on. He actually dribbled the ball toward the bottom line.

Griezmann and Giroud rushed over together, one on the left and one on the right, trying to lock up all Lin Quan's passing and dribbling space.

The calculation in the two people's minds was that even if they couldn't steal the ball directly from Lin Quan's feet, they would still force a corner kick.

It is now in the opponent's half. As long as the French team can successfully intercept the ball, they can immediately form a threatening attack. If they can get a chance for a corner kick, they can also let their players try a header.

The French team now just wants to continue this momentum and equalize the score as soon as possible.

If they are really held back by the opponent and their morale is exhausted, then the next game will be difficult to play.

French players are not tireless iron men. The reason why they don't feel tired now is entirely because they were too excited after scoring a goal. The excitement covered up the feeling of fatigue.

After this period of passion subsides, they will soon feel tired. Even because their running consumes more than their opponents, they will be even more tired than the Spanish players.

By then, the French team, which will be even more tired, have fewer players and is still lagging behind, may be in serious trouble.

Griezmann knew the team's current situation very well, so he pressed very decisively this time.

However, Lin Quan knew their intentions clearly.

When Giroud rushed over, he suddenly turned around and kicked the ball towards Giroud.

Giroud had no time to brake and could only barely turn sideways to avoid the ball.

However, his nickname is Dajiru, and his huge body of 192cm is not so easy to dodge.

The football hit Giroud with a bang and bounced off the baseline.

Beep!

The referee's whistle sounded, indicating that it was a goal kick for the Spanish team.

Jirou looked depressed and turned back to glare at Lin Quan.

Lin Quan spread his hands. You are such a big man. If I don't kick you, why should I kick Griezmann?

Casillas is a veteran with rich experience.

He knew that the team now needed to delay as much time as possible, so he was not in a hurry and took the goal kick slowly.

The players of the French team saw Cassie stalling for time and protested to the referee.

Casillas accurately grasped the upper limit of the referee's patience and drove the ball away with a big kick before the referee took out the card.

This ball is not going to the middle of the court, but to the side!

Morata saw the captain's gesture before Casillas kicked off the ball, and ran to the wing to block the position. As soon as the ball arrived, he overpowered the opponent's players, jumped high, and gave the ball to his teammates. .

Busquets received the ball without thinking, and passed the ball back to the goalkeeper who had left the penalty area before the French players rushed towards him.

Casillas stopped the ball easily and took a few steps outside the penalty area. When the opponent's forward rushed over, he knocked it across to Pique who was receiving the ball.

Giroud abandoned Casillas and went to Pique again.

Pique continued to pass the ball to Juanfran on the wing, and Juanfran passed the ball to Lin Quan, who retreated to respond. Lin Quan continued to move to the left and handed it to Ramos.

Spain began to walk the dog in the backcourt. Although Giroud, Griezmann and others who rushed over at the beginning tried their best, they could not grab the ball because there were too few people.

After most of the French team's players rushed to their own half, Lin Quan immediately changed his strategy and handed the ball to the full-back Alba.

This time, Alba did not pass back, but took advantage of the emptiness in the opponent's backcourt and strode towards the opponent's half with the ball.

The players of the French team had just reached the Spanish half and had to replay it non-stop. After going back and forth several times, they finally couldn't run anymore.

At this time, the time has come to 65 minutes. Since Griezmann scored ten minutes ago, during this period, neither side has had a good chance to score. The Spanish team's only shot missed the target by a large margin and posed no threat at all. .

The French fans in the stands were stunned and their teeth were itching with hatred.

The Spanish team is really abominable. It doesn't matter if they don't attack. They use this method to waste time and consume the French team's energy.

At this time, the passion of the French team players dissipated, and a strong sense of fatigue swept over them.

Many players were breathing heavily. Playing 10 against 11 pairs of players was too physically demanding.

Coupled with passively running back and forth behind the opponent, many of them have reached a bottleneck in physical fitness and cannot run anymore.

The consequence of declining physical fitness is that the high-position pressing tactics can no longer be implemented.

Without the pressure created by the high-position press on the opponent, they could not resolve the opponent's passing and control at all, and they could only let the Spanish team control the rhythm of the game.

Deschamps knew the players were reaching their limit and had to make substitutions.

So, he replaced Sissoko, replaced Matuidi, replaced Giroud, replaced Gignac.

Deschamps' substitution had a certain effect. After these two new players came on the field, the French team's pressing intensity increased. When counterattacking, the right side had a speed advantage and was able to pose a threat.

Del Bosque sees every move and makes a change when the opponent makes a substitution.

He replaced Juanfran, replaced Azpilicueta, replaced Cesc Fabregas, replaced Koke.

Spain is going to strengthen its defense.

After the two came on the field, they immediately contained the French team's attack on the right.

As time went by, the French team's numerical disadvantage began to gradually become apparent.

With the players' physical energy consumption being severe and their running ability declining, they are increasingly unable to keep up with Spain's pace and are constantly missing players when defending.

Seeing this situation, Spain decisively switched from defense to offense and began to suppress the French team.

In the 79th minute of the second half, Spain played a dazzling combination of passing and cutting in the frontcourt.

The football passed through five players and penetrated the French team's defense.

Lin Quan dribbled the ball into the penalty area, took a shot before the goalkeeper, and kicked the ball into the goal again.

The score became 3:1!

Lin Quan's goal can be said to have killed the suspense of the game, and Spain completely sealed the victory!

After the goal, Lin Quan quickly got up from the grass and ran towards the corner while beating his chest with his right hand.

All the cameras on the scene were chasing his footsteps and capturing his domineering movements.

No one noticed that behind Lin Quanquan, the French team's goalkeeper Lori was reluctantly beating the lawn hard.

No one noticed the sad looks on Griezmann, Kanter and others who chased back near the penalty area.

The so-called success of the king and defeat of the bandits is nothing more than this.

In fact, Lin Quan still saved some face for the French. According to his past management, after scoring three goals in the away game and completing a hat trick, he usually turned up his collar, looked around the stadium, and made a king's parade.

Deschamps, the coach of the French team, was stunned, as if all his strength had been drained, and he slumped down in his seat.

After finally waiting for an opportunity to play at home, they were just one step away from reaching the finals, and once again fell at the feet of their old rivals.

He was very unwilling to accept it, but even if he was unwilling to do so at this time, he could only accept it in humiliation.

The French fans in the stands had different reactions when they saw Lin Quan score another goal.

Some people threw things angrily on the court, some cursed, some felt sad, and some female fans shed tears of sadness, which was like a pear blossom with rain.

The Spanish fans on the opposite side were crazy with joy. They didn't even care about their qualities. They stood on their seats and jumped up and down, singing hymns happily.

As for the Spanish team's coach Del Bosque, the little old man is not as crazy this time as before.

He just waved his arm lightly, then returned to the coach's bench lightly and sat down, looking handsome and unfazed by honor and disgrace.

If the crazily twitching corners of his mouth hadn't exposed his innermost feelings, and the unsightly celebrations in the first half had not leaked the truth, everyone might have really been deceived by him.

In the stands, Guardiola, who came to watch the game, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Lin Quan's goal that sealed the victory.

As he clapped, he was secretly proud in his heart: This is my son, hehe, the most powerful football player in the world!

However, with Guardiola's sophisticated vision, he actually saw that Lin Quan exposed a lot of problems in the midfield position in this game.

If the opponent wants to develop into a midfielder in the future, he still needs to give more guidance.

"Midfielder is a position that requires both talent and experience. I don't have many fathers. I can still teach you a lesson with 20 years of midfielder experience!"

Guardiola is considered a top-notch midfielder, but not to the level of a top midfielder.

However, since he has been coaching, he has trained several world-class midfielders. Combining his own experience and unique insights into midfielders, Guardiola still has a lot of experience in training midfielders.

Because of this, many midfielders around the world are trying hard to play for Guardiola's team.

…

Although the game is not over yet, Lin Quan's goal has turned the remaining time into garbage time.

The morale of the French team suffered a major blow, and coupled with the decline in physical fitness, they were unable to launch an attack on Spain.

The Spanish side did not want to spend too much time. After all, the Portuguese side had an extra day of rest and their physical condition was much better than theirs. Since they had already won the victory, they could naturally save money.

After Bosque even saw that the opponent had no intention of attacking, he used up his last substitution spot in the 81st minute and replaced Lin Quan in advance, allowing him to accept the applause of the fans at the scene.

Lin Quan's performance in this game was watched by all the spectators.

So even the opponent's fans did not deliberately boo him or insult him at this time.

Some French fans even joined the Spanish fans in applauding Lin Quan.

"We didn't lose to Spain, we lost to Lin!"

I don’t know who first made this statement, but after the game, this statement spread quickly in France.

In this game, all the goals for the Spanish team were scored by Lin Quan. If he were removed from the Spanish team, the French would feel that Spain is definitely not their opponent!

Spanish fans naturally sneered at this.

What's wrong? Aren’t you happy that our Spanish team has a very powerful world-class star?

You guys are just jealous. If you have the ability, would you like to have a Lin Quan in the French team?

Ah cut!

A certain seventeen-year-old black boy in the stands sneezed.

"Wash your neck and wait. See you at the World Cup in two years!"

The French fans couldn't argue, so they made harsh words.

They can finally see that Spain's main lineup is declining day by day.

Three years ago, the French team was beaten in front of Spain and was unable to fight back. This game at least they were able to play back and forth.

The power gap between the two sides is narrowing, not widening.

Just because we can't beat the Spanish team now doesn't mean we won't be able to win in two years.

After all Spain's golden generation of old players retire, even with Lin Quan supporting the scene, they may not be unable to win!
