Chapter 633: Lin Quan missed his penalty kick? No, this guy is taking revenge!

The players from both sides played extremely hard on the court, and the fans from both sides in the stands also tried their best to fight.

The fans of the Croatian team here were singing the national anthem in unison, and the Spanish fans on the other side immediately shouted together, interrupting the other party's singing.

But it is a pity that the Spanish national anthem has no lyrics, so singing the national anthem is definitely not possible, so their way of responding to the challenge is to chant the name of every player on the court.

But all eleven people had called out each other's names and had not finished singing the national anthem, so they started singing Lin Zhi's song again.

This song can be traced back to 2013, when Lin Quan was on loan to Werder Bremen, a German song written for him by fans of the Parrot Legion.

Later, after Lin Quan moved to Manchester City, Manchester City fans also adapted the song in English, so the song had two versions, German and English.

But as Lin Quan gradually became a major player in the Spanish national team, Spanish fans also joined the team of adaptations, and once again made a second creation in Spanish on the basis of German and English.

At this time, what they were singing was the Spanish version of Lin's Song.

Compared with more serious national anthems, these personal songs of football stars are usually light, lively, and infectious, and have a magical quality that can brainwash people.

The huge gap in population between the two sides is truly reflected in the number of fans from both sides in this stadium.

At that time, the French team was the real challenger, and the Spanish team was a mountain in front of them for them to look up to.

Yes, Deschamps regards his opponents as challengers and puts the French team in the role of defenders.

The addition of these neutral fans also means that the Spanish fans won a complete victory in this contest for the team's twelfth man.

Compared with the early stage of the game, after more than 20 minutes of high-intensity competition, the players' bodies have fully adapted to the intensity of the game, and their condition has been adjusted to the best.

After Lin Quan scored, they continued to intensify their efforts to attack Croatia, hoping to kill the suspense of the game in the first half.

Looking at their opponents, there is no doubt that the Spanish team is in a period of decline after its peak period.

Even neutral fans who didn't understand Spanish subconsciously shook their heads and started humming along after listening to the melody of this song several times.

Come to think of it, if we trust "experts" in everything, then do we still need so many professional scouts, or even need them to go to the field in person to assess the opponent's condition?

In the last game against the host Russia, their number of fans was even equal to that of the host nation.

In Deschamps' view, as long as the opponent's No. 10 is restricted, the French team can really play casually.

There is a reason for him to think so. Deschamps is very familiar with the main lineup of the Spanish team in the last World Cup. After all, that Spanish team played two games with the French team in the 12-13 World Cup preliminaries.

For example, Dortmund's Westphalia, Liverpool's Anfield, etc.

Because of this, teams with a very hot home atmosphere usually find it difficult to play, and their home stadiums will also be called devil's home stadiums.

But everything is different now. After five or six years of hard work, this French team has fully grown up and is now at its peak.

Now, the large number of Spanish fans is gradually turning the Luzhniki Stadium into their home stadium.

Football matches consume a lot of physical energy, especially in this kind of high-intensity competition. Every sprint and run by the players is an intense anaerobic exercise. The amount of lactic acid accumulated over time is amazing.

"The Spanish team's suppression is still as strong as before!"

As the defending champion, Spanish fans' enthusiasm and enthusiasm for supporting the national team are unprecedentedly high.

Although the title of defending champion belongs to Spain, Deschamps is full of confidence in the French team under his command. He firmly believes that the final championship belongs to the French team.

Stimulated by Lin Quan's goal and the huge momentum created by the fans at the scene, all the Spanish fans on the court were in a state of excitement.

The French team lost both games, especially the home game. The loss was too frustrating.

In this game, the number of Spanish fans who came to the scene was several times more than that of Croatian fans.

At this time, the momentum created by the fans can effectively stimulate the players, keeping their bodies in a state of excitement and preventing them from declining due to the accumulation of metabolites.

Deschamps chuckled: "I can listen to the analysis from the outside world. If I completely believe them, they will lead them into the ditch sooner or later."

These factors caused the Croatian team to be very passive during this period. They were completely suppressed by the opponent and had no power to fight back.

The team had just lost a goal, and the originally neutral stadium suddenly turned into the opponent's home court. The momentum created by the opponent's fans made them upset and extremely annoyed.

The assistant on the side couldn't help but nodded: "Didn't the outside world say that this Spanish team is not good? Why can't you see it at all?"

It's not surprising that they can win. After all, Spain is a big country in Europe, while Croatia is just a small country with a population of less than 400 million.

I'm afraid that only the Croatian fans and neutral fans combined can even tie them!
The fans' fighting in the stands has a great impact on the players who are competing fiercely on the field. After all, the fans are the twelfth member of the team.

In an inconspicuous corner of the stands, Deschamps, the French coach who had already advanced to the semi-finals, couldn't help but sigh after seeing this scene.

"Although in terms of personnel, it is much worse than the Spanish team four years ago, but under Lin Quan's connection and leadership, this younger Spanish team performed not bad at all, and even exceeded expectations.”

"It seems that the Spanish team is going to win this game. If they advance to the semi-finals, then they will become our biggest challenger!"

Under this ebb and flow, defeating Spain becomes not so far away.

At that time, the French team was still very immature. The team was in the process of being demolished and rebuilt. In fact, they did not have the ability to compete with the Spanish team. But even so, they played well, especially at home, where they almost lost. Won.

Although athletes' metabolism is far higher than that of ordinary people, the accumulation of so much lactic acid in their muscles will still make them feel tired, which will affect their condition and performance.

In addition, the game did not start for a long time, and the players did not have to worry about physical problems, which greatly increased the Spanish team's offensive threat at this time.

The momentum they create can infect the players on the field, help inspire them to fight, and keep their spirits in an excited or even hyper state.

On the other hand, the Croatian team was in good shape, but their momentum was suppressed by their opponents.

I hope Spain can break through and reach the finals. It would be boring if they were eliminated early!
……

As for how to restrict Lin Quan, he is not worried because his team has the best defensive midfielder in the world-Kante!
Thinking of this, Deschamps felt happy, and he was already looking forward to the peak battle with Spain in the World Cup finals.

The players on both sides of the court naturally didn't know that the French team coach had come to the scene, but even if they knew, they probably wouldn't care.

Who is Deschamps? Whether he comes or not is none of my business.

Now there is only one thing on the minds of the players on both sides, and that is to kill each other!

In the 35th minute of the first half, Spain made a wonderful continuous pass in the frontcourt.

Croatia's defensive players were thrown into chaos by Spain's continuous rapid passes. The players involuntarily began to chase the ball, and holes began to appear in the defense.

Lin Quan keenly caught this fleeting opportunity and drove the ball to this position, but when he met Isco halfway, he left the ball at Isco's feet.

The Croatian players were chasing Lin Quan, but suddenly found that the ball was missing. They had been stunned by the Spanish team's rapid passes. At this time, they saw that in the space brought out by Lin Quan, Isco was about to shoot directly after taking the ball, so without thinking, they swarmed again. To Isco.

Isco originally had the intention of shooting, but when he saw that the opponents were all rushing toward him, he missed Lin Quan, who should not have missed it. He decisively took the ball and passed it to Lin Quan.

Beautifully delivered!

Lin Quan secretly praised in his heart, and was about to dribble the ball into the penalty area, but was knocked down from the side by the opponent's No. 6 center back.

Lorenv was obviously anxious, and his kick was so fierce that Lin Quan flew out directly.

The referee immediately blew the whistle, and Isco, David Silva and others surrounded Lin Quan to care about his injury.

Busquets, Pique and other Barcelona players habitually gathered around and put pressure on the referee.

The place where Lorenv committed the foul was very ambiguous, just near the penalty area line, but Lin Quan fell in the penalty area in the end.

So the Croatian players thought it was a foul outside the penalty area, but the Spanish players thought it should be a penalty kick.

The two sides couldn't argue, and in the end it had to be decided by the referee.

The VAR video assistant referee system was used for the first time in the 2018 World Cup. In the past, if the referee was not in a good position and could not see clearly, he was likely to make wrong calls and missed calls.

But now, if a controversial foul occurs on the court, the referee can use the VAR system to assist in making decisions.

With the help of multi-camera cameras all over the stadium, referees can view fouls from different angles, basically eliminating most misjudgments and omissions.

Sometimes the referee even misses a call himself, and the video assistant referee will use the intercom to remind him.

Just like this goal, if the referee can't make up his mind, he can use VAR to make a decision.

But the referee did not do this, probably because he was not used to it for the first time!

He made his call - pointing to the penalty spot.

The reason for this is also very simple, because Lin Quan's credibility is so good. Whether it is a league or an international competition, he never dives, so the referee does not think that the opponent is cheating, and he chooses to believe Lin Quan.

But this penalty made the Croatian side very dissatisfied. Lorenv explained in every possible way that he committed a foul outside the penalty area and the ball was not a penalty kick but a free kick.

However, the referee has already made a decision and will not make any changes.

Seeing the referee awarding a penalty kick, there were bursts of boos and shouts of black whistles.

Some people even accused Lin Quan of cheating by cheating:
"I thought only Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar liked diving, but I didn't expect that the diving team would have another strong player today!"

"Tsk, tsk, look at his professional moves, a 720-degree spin somersault in the air, it's really difficult, I think I have to give him 10 points!"

"Let's call him the little diving prince from now on!"

On the sidelines, Del Bosque did not feel relaxed at all because of this penalty.

Seeing Lin Quan lying in the penalty area for a while without getting up, he started to panic.

If the absolute core of the team is destroyed because of a penalty kick, it will be a big loss for the Spanish team.

Not to mention a penalty kick, two or three are not substituted!

Without Lin Quan, the Spanish team would completely fall apart.

Even if we win this game, we will definitely not be able to pass the next one, let alone defend the title!

"Team doctor, where is the team doctor? Quickly bring someone up to have a look!"

Bosque shouted anxiously to his teammates on the coaching bench. He, who has always been good-tempered, was really anxious at this moment.

Fortunately, the team doctor had just picked up the medical bag and was about to enter the stadium when Lin Quan stood up from the ground.

It's just that his condition is not very good, and he walks with a slight limp.

"Lin, why don't you let someone else take this penalty kick?"

Seeing Lin Quan's state, Iniesta asked tentatively.

"It doesn't matter, I'll do it myself!"

Lin Quan shook his head and glanced at the Croatian center back Lorenv who looked unconvinced after being shown a yellow card.

When the boy saw Lin Quan looking over, he immediately cast a look of disdain, as if he disdained being associated with people like Lin Quan.

Lin Quan remembered this guy's appearance and would definitely 'repay' him well later. The tackle just now was thanks to his talent of being immune to injuries, otherwise someone else might have broken his leg!
This kid has made such a big mistake, yet he still dares to turn his nostrils into the sky, which is contrary to heaven!
Thinking of this, Lin Quan took the ball handed over by his teammate and seriously placed it on the penalty spot.

After positioning the football, Lin Quan took a few steps back, put his hands on his hips and looked at the goalkeeper.

When Subasic was glared at by Lin Quan, he immediately felt like Alexander.

Although he successfully saved 3 penalty kicks in the last penalty shootout, this time he faced Lin Quan. This guy has a record of 100% penalty kick success rate. So far, no one has ever saved from his feet. A penalty kick was taken!
It was precisely because of this that Subasi felt so nervous.

He didn't know if he could break the opponent's record and create a miracle.

After Lin Quan glanced at Subasic, he looked behind him at the Croatian defender who was getting ready to make a clearance, and found Lorenv's position at a glance.

The referee blew the whistle and Lin Quan started to run. Subasic's eyes were wide open and his spirit was extremely tense.

However, just when he was about to judge the opponent's shooting angle and make a save, he saw Lin Quan seemed to have run past...

Run away?
Can a penalty kick also be missed?

Subasic's brain was shut down, but how could he let go of such a good opportunity?

He immediately rushed out and prepared to steal the ball away, but his teammates were faster than him. The closest player, Lourenfu, had already slid over to prepare for a clearance, denying Lin Quan a chance to make a follow-up shot.

But Lin Quan was faster than both of them, and only heard a loud bang...

Then a scream was heard, and Lorenv rolled on the lawn holding his stomach.

The football fell from the sky into Subasic's arms impartially.

what happened?
Subasic held the ball with a confused look on his face.
