Chapter 650: Interrupting the French team’s attack

If it were to play long passes like those teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, Lin Quan would definitely not be able to do it.

With his height and physical confrontation ability, he will definitely not be able to compete with the opponent's tall and powerful central defender.

But if the person passing the ball to him is a top pass master, it will be different.

Lin Quan's ability to block position and compete for the top is not strong, so wouldn't it be enough if he is not allowed to compete with the opponent's defender for the top?

The Spanish team obviously had such an arrangement beforehand, so when passing the ball to Lin Quan, they consciously avoided the opponent's defensive center back and specifically chose to pass to the wing.

In this way, the opponent's defender cannot control the landing point of the football in the first place. He must compete with Lin Quan for speed. Whoever runs faster and reaches the position first can get the ball.

The Spanish team's first attempt was unsuccessful. Pique's clearance force was a bit stronger and his position was closer to the opponent's defensive player.

Although Lin Quan sprinted with all his strength, the opponent's defender was still one step faster and broke the ball out of the sideline first.

Although they did not get the ball, the Spanish fans at the scene still applauded Lin Quan and Pique who passed the ball.

At least they got a chance for a throw-in. When their own side was overwhelmed by the opponent's offense, being able to get a chance for a throw-in in the opponent's half can greatly reduce their defensive pressure and let them They had time to catch their breath.

"The French team actually pushed the Spanish team to this point. They are really strong!"

"Yes, the Spanish team was almost beaten to death by the French team's random punches just now. If Lin Huang hadn't been smart and took advantage of Pique's big foot to make a breakthrough, they would still be beaten now!"

"By the way, was the French team's defender too cautious just now? He seemed to be able to control the ball just now without having to destroy it, right?"

"No, he touched the ball with his left foot and couldn't release the ball immediately. Lin Huang's speed has already increased and he will not be given time to adjust, so kicking the ball out of the sideline is the safest way."

After Varane broke the ball out of the sideline, he backed away and took a deep look at Lin Quan.

This guy's physical fitness is really good. He has been playing football for so long and still has the strength to sprint over from such a distance.

After running, I was still not blushing or out of breath.

Compared to him, I had sprinted a shorter distance and was now a little out of breath.

This made Varane couldn't help but wonder, is the person in front of him an alien?

Wouldn't he be tired at all?

No, not possible!
No one is not tired, this guy must be pretending.

He is the absolute core of the Spanish team and the soul of the team. If he shows signs of exhaustion, it will greatly affect the morale of the Spanish team.

Therefore, this guy is probably holding on by force!

In fact, his physical energy has already been exhausted. After all, in the first half, Spain was the most aggressive in his attack.

It is natural for Varane to think so, but it also shows that he is inexperienced and does not understand Lin Quan well enough.

If it were those defenders in the Premier League who often played against Lin Quan, they would definitely not take such chances.

Lin Quan is just a beast, the kind who can't escape!

Since most of the Spanish team's players were in their own half, Lin Quan obviously couldn't throw in a throw-in.

And judging from his appearance, he didn't intend to take the throw-in himself.

The Spanish players were slowly approaching the midfield at this time, and Busquets was trotting all the way towards the sideline.

Although it looks like he is running, he is actually walking slower than he is walking.

He was not a fool. He had such a good opportunity to take a breather and regain his strength, so he couldn't waste it.

Besides, the French team is in very good shape now. If Spain kicks off immediately, it will give the opponent a chance to continue this state.

But if they delay for a while, the opponent's momentum is likely to be lost.

Therefore, Busquets knows very well how to do this kind of thing that can not only allow his own team to rest but also interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.

"Referee, they are stalling for time, you have to take care of them!"

The players of the French team couldn't stand it anymore and ran to put pressure on the referee, asking him to quickly warn the Spanish players not to delay deliberately.

The referee also felt that the opponent was delaying time, so he glanced at Busquets and considered whether to take out the card.

Busquets is a smart man. Seeing the referee's attitude, he immediately accelerated and stopped wasting time.

He took advantage of the opportunity when someone from the opponent went to the referee to protest, picked up the ball and threw it out quickly.

Busquets looked towards his own half and seemed ready to throw it back, but instead pointed east and west and threw the ball towards the French half where he was looking opposite.

This operation completely deceived the French team players. After seeing Busquets' actions, they were all ready to press forward and press in the Spanish team's half.

As a result, the other party made a sudden attack and caught them off guard.

The reason why Busquets did not throw it into his own half was because it was dangerous.

Although it seems that this can control the ball more reliably, the opponent has gathered a large number of troops nearby and is facing the direction of the Spanish goal. Once the French team successfully steals the ball, they will immediately pose a threat to the Spanish goal.

It is precisely because of this that Busquets chose to do the opposite and throw the ball into the opponent's half.

Although there is only one teammate in the opponent's half, he believes that the tacit understanding between the two will mean that the opponent will understand his intentions.

Sure enough, when Busquets looked towards his own half, Lin Quan, who was in the French half, suddenly accelerated, bypassed the defensive player in front of him, and rushed diagonally towards the sideline.

The moment he moved, Busquets threw the ball over.

The opponent did not expect that Busquets would pass the ball to Lin Quan, and Lin Quan succeeded in getting around, allowing him to get the ball smoothly.

The nearby French team players were shocked. They all sensed the danger of death and rushed towards Lin Quan like crazy.

At this time, the French team's half was quite empty. There were only a few defensive players left in their own half, and none in a deeper position than Lin Quan.

If Lin Quan could successfully increase his speed, he would have a chance to stand alone.

This guy maintains a 100% record of single-attack success rate. Once he gets a single-attack opportunity, the French team can go to sleep.

Losing the third goal at this time can completely sentence them to death.

Lin Quan obviously knew that such an opportunity was rare, so after receiving the ball, he immediately moved the ball to the left, prepared to turn around, and then cut inside with the ball.

But unfortunately, it takes time for him to complete these actions, and it is absolutely impossible for the other party to give him time.

Umtiti and Hernandez released tackles almost at the same time. Faced with this double attack, Lin Quan had no choice but to be knocked down by his opponent.

Beep!
The referee immediately blew the whistle and ran over to show Umtiti a yellow card for the foul.

Umtiti raised his foot too high when he tackled just now, which is a dangerous move. Moreover, he touched someone first and then tackled the ball. A yellow card is not unfair at all.

Umtiti knew it well, so she accepted it honestly without protesting or complaining. Spain once again got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, but the position of this free kick was very poor, almost next to the sideline, more than 40 meters from the goal. No matter how you look at it, it does not look like a good opportunity.

So far away and in such a bad position, many people felt that the Spanish team might not make a fuss about this free kick.

But it turned out that they were wrong.

Lin Quan doesn't want to be picky, he just shoots when he gets the chance. This is what Bosque explained before the game.

What's wrong with the location, what's wrong with the long distance?
Isn't free kick just about luck?

In that case, let’s give it a try!

What if you get in!
In order to delay as much time as possible and let their teammates rest more, David Silva and Busquets even pretended to run over to discuss 'tactics' with Lin Quan.

In fact, the three of them didn't talk about tactics at all. Although they were pointing at the French team's goal, the content of the conversation had nothing to do with it:

"Oh my god, I can finally take a breath, I almost suffocated just now!"

Busquets wiped his sweat and complained to his two teammates.

"Who says it's not the case? The opponent's attack just now was too fierce. Our formation was crushed very flat. It's actually very dangerous!"

"Yes, so we must interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm. Let's delay this ball for a while and consume as much time as possible!"

"Will you get a yellow card from the referee if you do this?"

"No problem. Just check the lawn more and adjust the position of the ball. In short, don't let the other party think you are stalling for time."

Busquets seemed experienced and was imparting his years of experience in dealing with referees to the two.

The referee of this game, Nestor Pitana, is from Argentina and has participated in the 2014 World Cup in South Africa and last year's Confederations Cup. The Spanish team is no stranger to this referee.

These are within the scope allowed by the rules, and are relatively more respectable than behaviors such as cheating and lying on the grass.

"Huang Lin seems to be not satisfied with the lawn. He stepped under the football several times and changed his position several times!"

"It's normal. It's not easy to play at such a long distance. It's normal to pursue details!"

"Otherwise, Lin Huang is a master of free kicks. Success comes from details!"

Although the ball was far away from the goal, France goalkeeper Lloris still felt very nervous.

He might not have been nervous at first, but seeing Lin Quan preparing for the free kick so seriously, he couldn't help but become nervous again.

Ah, this familiar tension!
Terrible!

Beep!
The referee blew the whistle and Lin Quan started to run.

With a bang, he raised his right foot and kicked the ball hard.

The ball deformed under the force, roared into the sky, jumped over the French team's wall, and ran towards the goal.

Because the distance was far, the goalkeeper had a long time to react, so Lori judged the right direction this time and made a precise save.

He lifted the football over the crossbar with one hand, and bursts of applause erupted from the stands.

Some French fans who were frightened could finally breathe a sigh of relief at this time.

To be honest, they shouldn't be too worried about such a long distance.

But there was no way, who told the opponent to score two free kicks in the first half?
As long as they see this guy standing in the free kick position, they can't help but be worried.

This is all due to Bai Linquan's two goals in the first half!
Although the free kick was missed, Lin Quan was not too disappointed.

This kind of ultra-long-distance free kick is almost like a lottery. If you score, it's just bad luck. If you don't, it's normal.

Furthermore, the Spanish team once again got a corner kick opportunity, and they could continue to delay time.

The game time has passed 60 minutes, and the French players on the field seemed very anxious. Many of them frequently looked at the time on the scoreboard.

Their offensive attack just now already smelled like a goal. As long as they attack for a while, they might be able to score their first goal.

But unfortunately, the opponent's counterattack interrupted their offensive, forcing them to come back to defend.

At this time, five minutes have passed since they besieged the Spanish team's goal, and the ball is still in the opponent's audience, which makes the French team players even more anxious.

They really wanted to seize the time to attack their opponents and tie the score early.

But the Spanish team took the same free kick as before, discussing tactics without haste.

As for the tactics they discussed, only they themselves know.

However, judging from the Spanish team's position on the court, it seems that they want to cooperate tactically.

The person who appeared in the corner was not Lin Quan, but David Silva, and Lin Quan, who was the most threatening, appeared near the right penalty area.

In view of Lin Quan's huge threat, the French team arranged for Kante to act as Lin Quan's 'personal bodyguard', keeping an eye on him and restricting all his actions.

In the penalty area, several tall players from the French team withdrew, preparing to compete with the Spanish team's high points.

They were worried that Lin Quan hanging around outside was just a cover, and the opponent's real killer move was the Spanish players in the penalty area.

Their guess was actually pretty close. After David Silva's corner kick was taken, he did not pass the ball to Lin Quan. Instead, he hoisted the ball directly into the penalty area and sent a penalty to the back point.

Pique, who was at the forward point, and the opponent's defender Varane struggled to get to the top, but neither of them hit the ball.

After the ball flew to the back point, Ramos suddenly rushed over and overpowered Umtiti to grab the landing spot.

After all, Umtiti still suffered from being too short. As a central defender, his height of 2 meters is indeed a bit too short. Ramos is centimeters taller than him.

And Mr. Shui's header is famous!

Ramos was overwhelming, and the football was like a heavy cannon, blasting towards the opponent's goal.

This header is very solid, powerful and fast.

Under normal circumstances, the goalkeeper is absolutely helpless with this kind of header!

But it is a pity that Ramos' top position is too correct.

The French team's goalkeeper didn't move at all, and the ball almost ran directly into his arms.

Lori reacted very quickly. After getting the ball, he quickly rushed out of the small penalty area with the ball in his arms. He shouted at the teammates in front and threw the ball with a unicorn arm.

The French team's quick counterattack is coming! (End of chapter)
