Chapter 162 Breaking the record and rivaling Mero!
“goooooooooooal”
"incredible!"
"Incredible!"
"In the midst of a double-team, Lin Quan fought his way out and kicked the ball into the Brazilian team's goal! This is simply unbelievable!"
In the commentary box of Sky Sports, after seeing this goal, Martin Taylor showed the excellent professional ability of a professional commentator.
He spoke very fast and explained the scoring process in one breath.
At the end, he sighed:
"Lin Quan, a young player who is not yet 18 years old, with his two goals in this game, his total number of goals in this Confederations Cup has reached 9.
This data broke the historical record set by Romario in the 1997 Confederations Cup!
And greatly increased this historical record to 9 goals! "
"I have scored in 5 consecutive games, averaging 1.8 goals per game. This kind of scoring efficiency is probably only matched by Messi and Ronaldo in the world!"
"It is no exaggeration to say that we are witnessing the birth of a legendary player!"
Martin Taylor spoke highly of Lin Quan!
Andy Gray on the side echoed:
"Yes, for a forward to be able to maintain a stable state and score so many goals in a row against so many strong teams in international competitions, this is something that not even Ronaldo and Messi have ever done!"
The two seemed worried that the audience would not know how exaggerated Lin Quan's statistics were, so they kept comparing Ronaldo and Messi.
I hope this will make the audience realize how high the starting point of Spain, a boy under 18 years old, is and how much potential he has!
Ever since Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi performed at a dominant level, the two have been ahead of other players by leaps and bounds, becoming the unparalleled duo in today's football world.
In the past few years when they have dominated football, it is not that there have been no challengers.
However, these challengers are either inferior to them in terms of hard power, or they are short-lived and fall quickly.
No one can really pose a threat to their position.
But now, outside of the peerless two prides, a real challenger has appeared!
This person is none other than Lin Quan!
…
Lin Quan didn't know how highly the outside world thought of him because of his goal.
There is a more exciting goal than this. He also played Wang Chengguo in the club, so he didn't think it was anything strange.
But after scoring two goals in a row, he was still in a good mood.
The Spanish players rushed up one after another, excited to celebrate with him.
He himself thought the goal was nothing, but his teammates didn't think so.
They have never seen a more exciting goal than this in the national team, so naturally they have to celebrate it!
And a special celebration needs to be designed so that it is commemorative.
Because in the previous game against Italy, Lin Quan and his teammates designed a very creative celebration, which caused many fans to look forward to their next celebration.
So this time, Lin Quan discussed it with his teammates.
Let’s see if we can meet the fans’ expectations!
Lin Quan: "Do you want to use that celebration?"
Iniesta: "Not good, right? Will the away fans think we are provoking?"
Pedro: "It's possible, maybe something will be thrown at us!"
Ramos: "Then let's go farther and celebrate?"
Harvey was speechless: "You have to use that action anyway, right?"
Everyone said in unison: "That's right!"
Harvey spread his hands: "Okay then, I'll be the backrest!"
Iniesta: "I'll be the toilet seat!"
Lin Quan: "I'm going to the toilet!"
Pedro secretly took a step back, making Ramos' position suddenly appear.
When Ramos saw that everyone around him had been assigned a role and he was the only one left, he was very dissatisfied:
"Damn, why am I being used as a toilet!"
"Stop talking nonsense and get down!"
Everyone ignored his complaints and pushed him to the ground together.
Ramos was helpless. Although he was deceived by this group of cheaters, he could only cooperate with the performance of his teammates at this time.
"Hey, what are they doing?"
Fans at the scene quickly discovered something unusual about the Spanish players.
I saw that they did not celebrate after scoring. Instead, they gathered together and seemed to be discussing something.
"Could it be that they are discussing a celebration?"
The fans were curious and made conjectures.
The subsequent actions of the Spanish players confirmed their conjecture.
"Come on, come on, I'm really planning a celebration!"
"I wonder what surprises this celebration can bring us?"
"Haha, is it the fishing celebration again?"
"Why is Ramos lying on the ground, uh, with his butt stuck out..."
"Let me tell you, Mr. Shui's butt is quite perky!"
"..."
"Go to a 6 alone!"
"The gay guy is here with me!"
After Ramos lay down, Iniesta knelt beside him and lay on top of him.
Xavi stood behind Iniesta with his head lowered, leaning on his back.
At this time, everyone still didn't know what they were going to do.
Until Lin Quan, who finished the goal, came over.
I saw him lift Iniesta's linked arms upwards, like lifting a toilet seat, and lifted it up.
Then he sat on Ramos, as if he was going to the toilet.
After he was done, he twisted Harvey's arm and seemed to be flushing the toilet.
Then he put the toilet lid back on Iniesta and left the toilet.
The audience at the scene finally understood what these Spanish guys were doing!
Their goal celebration actually involves going to the toilet!
What a departure!
The fans at the scene laughed loudly, and were all amused by Spain's very creative and hilarious celebration.
Only a small number of Brazilian fans' faces burned, and they felt they had been humiliated.
Does Spain's celebration compare their team to a toilet?
"Well, the Spanish players made a very creative but somewhat unsightly celebration. The Brazilian fans at the scene seemed a little irritated and they booed the Spanish players."
Martin Taylor put his hand on his forehead. This was the first time he had seen such a celebration in so many years of commentating on games.
How do the brain circuits of these Spanish players grow?
How come you can always devise such bizarre celebrations?
"The emotions of the fans can affect the players on both sides of the court. The Spaniard is playing away from home, so it is really unwise to make such a move!"
Because Andy Gray chose to support the Brazilian team before, he naturally criticized Spain from the standpoint of the Brazilian team at this time.
Martin Taylor didn't think it mattered. The difference in hard power between the two teams could be seen through the dozens of minutes of the game.
Even if the Brazilian team tries hard, it may not be able to defeat Spain.
What they have to do now is to find an effective offensive method as soon as possible to even the score.
Otherwise, if they return to the locker room with the score behind, the second half will not be easy for them!
The Brazilian players obviously knew this, so after kicking off again, they were all very impatient.
Everyone wanted to kick the ball into the Spanish goal immediately and equalize the score.
However, the more impatient they are, the worse their performance becomes.
In the 25th minute, Alves sent a through ball from the right, and Fred missed with his right foot from the right side of the penalty area.
In the 28th minute, Hulk sent a through ball from the right side of the midfielder. Oscar was about to enter the penalty area and was tackled cleanly by Ramos.
In the 32nd minute, the Brazilian team intercepted the ball in the backcourt and launched a counterattack. Neymar sent a diagonal pass from the left side of the penalty area. Fred received the ball in the middle of the penalty area and barely completed the shot with Pique on his back.
There was no threat in this kick, and it was easily confiscated by Cassie.
During this period, the Brazilian team's counterattack hit a climax, but their final kick was poorly completed.
Their shots, they were almost shots for the sake of shots.
It did not pose much of a threat to Spain's goal at all, and as the mentality of the Brazilian players became more and more impatient.
The cooperation between them also began to decrease, and the players of the Brazilian team gradually fell into fighting alone.
In the 36th minute, Hulk received the ball from the wing. He defeated Alba in the physical confrontation, but the ball was destroyed by Pique who was covering up.
A few minutes later, Neymar got the ball on the other side.
He completed a beautiful pass in a multi-team double-team, but there were too many people in the penalty area, so he only passed one person, and the ball at his feet was immediately kicked away by another defensive player.
After the lack of cooperation, the Brazilian team's offensive threat dropped sharply, and it was difficult to pose a threat to Spain's goal.
On the contrary, Spain's offense was booming.
In the 38th minute, Harvey sent a wonderful pass from midfield. Lin Quan pretended to step forward to catch the ball, but deliberately missed it and passed it to his teammates behind.
Pedro rushed over and took a long shot from the top of the penalty area before the defender could block it.
The ball missed the goal post slightly, causing everyone in the Brazilian team to break out in a cold sweat.
If the ball scores again, they can carry it away.
Trailing by three goals at halftime, not every team is Liverpool and can perform the Miracle of Istanbul in desperate situations!
In the 45th minute of the first half, Spain missed an excellent opportunity.
Lin Quan dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, passed the onrushing Gustavo and then sent a wonderful pass.
Pedro stepped in from the left wing to receive the ball and quickly passed the ball laterally.
Iniesta rushed over, received Pedro's pass and shot with a kick, choosing to hit the far corner.
Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar failed to touch the ball. As long as the ball hits the goal frame, it is almost a sure goal.
After Iniesta saw the ball bypassing the goalkeeper, he had his hands raised and was ready to run wildly in celebration.
Unexpectedly, Brazil's central defender David Luiz stood up at the critical moment.
He used a move similar to a split on the goal line to block the ball.
Iniesta held his head with his open hands and looked at the football flying out of the baseline in disbelief.
No!
Can this ball be blocked?
The Brazilian players didn't seem to expect that their opponent's must-goal was blocked by their teammates.
After seeing the result, they flocked to David Luiz, ruffling his hair, slapping his bum and praising his performance.
Cesar, who had escaped the disaster, hugged him excitedly and thanked him for his critical moment of relief.
He doesn't want to get the ball from his own goal three times in one game!
There were not many fouls on both sides in the first half, so the referee only gave one minute of injury time.
Because the time was too short, neither side achieved anything, and the score of 2:1 remained until the moment the midfield whistle sounded.
Hearing the whistle, the Spanish players walked to the locker room in twos and threes, talking and laughing, with relaxed expressions.
On the other side, the expressions on the faces of the Brazilian players looked very solemn.
As Neymar walked, he stared at Lin Quan's back and clenched his fists fiercely.
Judging from the first half of this game, he was completely suppressed by the opponent!
The opponent had already scored two goals in the first half, and he didn't even have a few shots on goal.
In terms of total goals, the opponent reached 9 goals, three times more than him.
Even if he is possessed by God, he may not be able to reverse this gap.
Therefore, it is no longer possible to overtake the opponent in total goals scored.
Then, to defeat your opponent, there is only one option left:
That is to win this game and lead his team to defeat his team!
Thinking of this, Neymar secretly made up his mind.
…
In the locker room, Del Bosque walked in with a red face.
The players were applauded as soon as they entered the door!
"Guys, you did a great job and I'm so proud of you!"
The Brazilian team is not weak. They completed 7 shots in the first half and 4 of them were on target.
The passing success rate reached 79%, and the ball possession rate was also 39%.
This data is much better than at the beginning, which shows that the Brazilian team is gradually adapting to Spain's passing and controlling style of play.
If you give them some more time, maybe they will adapt completely and slowly regain the situation.
But Spain's two goals came too timely. Each goal almost interrupted the Brazilian team's momentum just when they were about to gain momentum.
This not only gave them a lead, but also contained their opponents' offense.
Facing such a powerful opponent, Spain was able to reverse the game despite a bad start and firmly control the situation on the court.
This made Bosque very satisfied. The players fully met the tactical requirements they designed.
"They will definitely continue to increase the intensity of their offense in the second half, and their impact on our midfield will be greater!"
Bosque took out his tactical board, wrote on it, and began to arrange the tactics for the second half.
…
On the other side, in the Brazilian team's locker room.
Scolari also took the time to arrange tactics for the second half.
"In the first half, our attack from both sides was not very effective. This does not mean that the idea of attacking from the side was wrong, but that our cooperation was not effective."
"We need to cooperate more in the second half and don't fall into the trap of fighting alone, do you understand?"
Scolari raised his head and glanced at the players.
The Brazilian players nodded one after another, a little afraid of the old man.
Scolari once led the Brazilian team to win the World Cup in 2002, and he has high prestige in the Brazilian national team.
The current team is full of young players, and many of them are not from the five major leagues.
It can be said that they were single-handedly promoted by Scolari, so naturally they did not dare to offend their mentor.
Scolari was very satisfied with the players' reaction, so he named them:
"Neymar, you are the biggest player on the team. Now the team is in trouble and you need to step up. Tell me, can you complete the task I assigned and lead the team to reverse and win?"
Scolari's words of "the team's number one" successfully aroused Neymar's sense of responsibility.
He stared, clenched his fists and said loudly:
"Don't worry, coach, I will definitely lead the team to defeat Spain and win the championship trophy!"
