Chapter 319 Free kick, hat trick in the World Cup final!

Lin Quan's goal had a very obvious impact on the morale of the German team.

Del Bosque also completed Spain's first substitution adjustment after Lin Quan scored.

He replaced veteran Xavi and replaced him with 22-year-old Koke to strengthen the team's midfield and further curb the German team's counterattack.

This adjustment worked very well. After the restart, the German team fell into a disadvantage in the midfield, and their players' mentality became more anxious.

They were no longer as calm and patient as before when organizing their offense, which caused their offense to become very messy.

The offensive seemed very fierce, but in fact it was unable to penetrate Spain's defense line and pose a fatal threat.

Even because the players were too anxious, they committed consecutive fouls and received cards while defending.

In the 63rd minute, Xuerle intercepted Lin Quan to no avail, and was given a yellow card by the referee Rizzoli for a behind-the-back foul.

In the 65th minute, Muller tackled Xabi Alonso while grabbing the ball in the frontcourt and also received a yellow card.

The team was lagging behind and the players were so anxious, which made the German fans at the scene extremely anxious.

They seem to have seen the outcome of this game. If the German team continues to play in this state, they will definitely fail.

Seeing this scene, Klose, the oldest and most experienced veteran player in the German team, stood up.

Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, he comforted several teammates who were obviously anxious, and used West Germany's reversal in the World Cup final to inspire them and keep them hopeful.

"We have performed miracles in the final stage, and we have also fallen into the trough, but now I am just sure that we are on the road to recovery, so being behind by two goals is nothing special. Be patient, we still have time!"

Klose's words seemed to have some kind of magic, successfully calming the restless hearts of the players and rekindling their hope.

After the game restarted, the Spanish players found that the German team's fighting spirit suddenly increased a lot.

Their fighting has become more aggressive and even crazy. If the football is delayed for just a second, it may be snatched away by the opponent.

Moreover, when the Germans were fighting, they relied on their physical advantages and frequently approached Spanish players for physical confrontation.

This made the Spanish side very uncomfortable, and the players began to make mistakes.

In the 71st minute, Spain made a pass error in the backcourt. Muller alertly completed the steal and passed the ball to Ozil.

Ozil picked up the ball on the edge of the penalty area. He shouldered the interference of the Spanish defender and passed the ball into the penalty area before falling to the ground.

Klose picked up the ball with his back. Ramos was very defensive about the ball and he couldn't turn around.

Klose passed the ball back to Kroos who came in behind. Kroos pushed the ball and hit the defensive player's leg, causing a refraction.

Casillas was shaken, and in a hurry he could only slap the ball away, unable to hold it.

Klose!

At the critical moment, God K stood up. He cleverly seized the opportunity for a supplementary shot and blocked the ball into the goal with his body.

2:1!

The German team got a goal back and the game is still in suspense!

After scoring the goal, Klose didn't want to waste even a second. He ran directly into the goal, hugged the ball and ran towards the center circle. He also signaled his teammates to return to their positions quickly and prepare to kick off again.

The German team is lagging behind. At this time, they must attack against the clock and cannot waste precious time on celebrations.

If they can score another goal to equalize the score, they can have a good celebration.

Now is not the time!

"Well done!"

Seeing Klose's goal, Merkel stood up excitedly and clapped vigorously.

The Spanish Prime Minister on the side twitched the corner of his mouth, didn't he just get a goal back?

As for being so excited?

We are still ahead in terms of score!

Even so, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart: Spanish boys, hold on!

If we persist for another 20 minutes, the championship will be ours!

"Well done, just kick like that!"

On the sidelines, the German team's coach Loew saw Klose completing the goal, clenched his fists and waved it hard.

This goal came at the right time. There were still 20 minutes left before the end of the game. If you include injury time, it would be almost 25 minutes.

This time is enough for them to score another goal!

Loew is very confident in the team under his hands. As long as the German team's morale is boosted, scoring goals will not be a problem at all.

The last game against Brazil was like this!

The situation on the field seemed to be what Loew had expected. After the German team pulled back a goal, their players' morale was greatly boosted, and they launched a crazy attack on Spain as if they were full of blood.

In the 73rd minute, Muller received a pass from Kroos and sent a cross from the left side of the penalty area. Klose's physical strength in the penalty area declined, and he started half a beat slower and failed to complete the outflank in front of the goal.

Two minutes later, the German team got a corner kick opportunity. Kroos took a corner kick towards the goal. Hwedes' header hit the post and missed the goal.

This wave of offensive by the German team made the Spanish fans tremble with fear.

When they saw the German team's header flying towards their own goal, they all felt like they couldn't breathe.

Fortunately, the goal post made a contribution at the last moment, otherwise the score would have been equalized.

At this moment, the Spanish fans finally felt what the Brazilian fans felt in the last game.

It’s really scary to beat the crazy German team!

"Hold it!"

"If we hold on for another ten minutes, victory will belong to us!"

The Spanish fans couldn't help but pray in their hearts. They just wanted to speed up the time so that they could finish the last ten minutes quickly.

Every minute and every second now makes them feel extremely tortured!

On the sidelines, Spanish coach Del Bosque also realized that the situation was not good for his side.

So, he immediately made personnel adjustments.

He replaced Xabi Alonso, who was losing strength, and replaced him with Martinez.

This was a matchup substitution. After Martinez came on the field, he relied on his abundant physical fitness and large interception range to form an iron gate with Koke, who had been replaced before, effectively protecting Spain's defense.

This substitution achieved immediate results and effectively curbed the German team's attack from the midfield!

The German team also immediately made personnel adjustments. Loew replaced Klose, who was weak and unable to run, and replaced him with the younger Gotze.

After Gotze came on, the German team's formation became a forwardless formation, with all offensive players coming from the midfield.

This formation made the fans at the scene a little stunned. Why do they feel that the German team is more like Spain than Spain?

Seeing the substitution card raised on the sidelines, Klose wasted no time. He dragged his heavy footsteps and quickly ran to the sidelines. After high-fiving and hugging Gotze, he turned around and applauded the fans at the scene. Exit completed.

Seeing Klose leaving the field, many fans stood up and gave him warm applause.

This should be Klose's last game in the World Cup. At the age of 36, it will be difficult for him to persist until the next World Cup.

Since the 2002 World Cup, Klose has participated in a total of 4 World Cups.

In these four World Cups, he scored a total of 17 goals, making him the player with the most goals in World Cup history.

From the stunning opening with a header hat trick in the World Cup debut, to the perfect ending with a key goal that turned the tide in the final.

Klose seems to be cheating, and he can always score goals in key games.

But now, God K is old, and the right to drive the Germanic tanks has been handed over to a new group of young people.

I just don’t know if they can take over perfectly from the hands of an older generation player like Klose?

Gotze's appearance did not change the situation where it was difficult for the German team to take advantage of the midfield. Under the sweep of two generals, Koke and Martinez, it was difficult for the German team to open up the situation from the midfield.

To do this, they had to try to continue attacking from the wings.

In the 76th minute, Schurrle completed a cross from the left side of the penalty area. Both Muller and Gotze missed the opportunity and failed to touch the ball.

Spain took the opportunity to counterattack, and Lin Quan dribbled the ball towards the German team's half.

At this time, most of the German team's players have overwhelmed the midfield, and their backcourt defense is empty.

This gives Lin Quan a huge space to dribble the ball, allowing him to drive towards the opponent's penalty area without slowing down.

The game was almost reaching the 80th minute. Seeing Lin Quan striding and accelerating with the ball, every German team fan was extremely shocked.

Is this man made of iron?

Won't he be tired?

Other players on the field were showing serious physical decline at this time, but there was no sign of it on him.

He is like a tireless monster who still has plenty of physical energy after a long and fierce competition!

This makes the fans of the German team instinctively feel fear. Their goal has been penetrated twice by the opponent. It will never happen again, right?

When Lin Quan was flying forward at high speed, Diego Costa cleverly ran to his flank, distracting the defender's attention while providing him with cover.

At the same time, David Silva on the wing, Koke in the midfield and others are also speeding up and sprinting. Spain's attack is fierce!

Boateng and Hummels, who were defending behind, looked at each other and knew that the ball could not be delayed any longer.

Hummels stepped forward decisively, intending to use foul tactics to prevent Spain's counterattack.

At this time, even taking a card is more cost-effective than letting the opponent pass!

Lin Quan saw through the opponent's intention at a glance, so he immediately passed the ball to Diego Costa, and after completing the pass, he moved forward decisively.

Diego Costa faced off against Boateng. The two had played against each other several times before, and each knew the strength of the other.

Diego Costa's dribbling skills are far less abnormal than Lin Quan, so he did not try to get rid of the opponent, but sought a two-on-one cooperation with Lin Quan and handed the ball back to Lin Quan.

Hummels's turning speed is not as fast as Lin Quan's, and after playing for most of the game, his physical fitness has dropped significantly.

After Lin Quan completed the pass, he accelerated and rushed in front of him, and he was only able to complete his turn at this time.

Seeing that Lin Quan was about to catch the ball and form a one-on-one shot, Hummels made a decisive move and tripped Lin Quan from behind.

Beep!

The referee immediately blew the whistle, ran over with a serious expression, and showed Hummels a yellow card.

This penalty caused dissatisfaction among the Spanish players. They ran over to argue with the referee, thinking that the ball just now should have been a red card.

After Lin Quan passed Hummels, he had already formed a single shot. With his single shot success rate, this was almost a goal.

And Hummels used a behind-the-back foul to prevent Spain's goal. A red card is definitely not excessive.

The referee did not change his decision, but signaled the Spanish players to leave, otherwise he would take out a card to warn the Spanish players.

Seeing the referee's firm attitude, the Spanish players did not continue to insist.

They surrounded the referee to avenge their teammates and delay time.

The second is to put pressure on the referee and make the referee doubt or even blame himself for his penalty. In this case, the next penalty will be more biased towards the Spanish team.

This trick is often used by Barcelona players in games and has good results, so the Spanish national team copied it.

However, the World Cup is different from the league and Champions League. Most of the referees who can come to the World Cup are top referees from various countries. They are more confident in their own law enforcement skills and have the support of FIFA, so their attitude is more Be tough and not easily influenced by the players.

Although Lin Quan doesn't do things like lying on the grass, he doesn't object to using free kicks to delay time.

After all, Spain's lineup is indeed a bit aging, and three substitutions are simply not enough.

Seeing the way his teammates were breathing heavily with their mouths open, he knew that the team's physical fitness had reached its limit.

"Should I do it or you?"

Both Harveys went to rest, and there were not many free kick experts in the team.

Xiaobai and David Silva came over and discussed with Lin Quan.

Lin Quan glanced at the goal. The free kick was in the midfield, about 35 meters away from the goal.

The position is not bad, you can try to shoot directly.

"Let me do it, you guys give me a cover, I'll just try to attack the goal!"

The two nodded, followed the tactical design of the set piece, and ran outside the penalty area to distract the defensive players.

However, the Germans had already been fooled once, how could they fall twice in the same place?

They ignored the two people outside the penalty area and focused their defense on marking Spanish players in the penalty area who might header the ball.

Ramos, Pique, Martinez and other players in the Spanish team who are taller or have strong header ability have all been targeted by the opponent.

Ramos still remembered Lin Quan's previous commitment, so he was very active in the penalty area.

He had a hunch that Lin Quan would pass the ball to him and help him score in the final!

Seeing Ramos so active, the German players were even more afraid to relax their defense against him.

Even Neuer's attention was distracted a lot by him!

Ramos' header ability is obvious to all. If he really scores a goal, the game can be declared over in advance.

Seeing that Ramos was like a catfish, disturbing a group of sardines, Lin Quan gave Ramos a thumbs up in his heart.

Well done, Mr. Shui!

He took a few steps back, took a deep breath, looked towards the penalty area, and made a gesture to let his teammates prepare to grab points.

Seeing Lin Quan's gesture, Ramos was overjoyed: He really wants to pass it on to me!

So he ran more actively!

At this moment, Lin Quan accelerated towards the football and kicked the ball hard into the penalty area under the gaze of billions of fans around the world.

The ball drew a beautiful arc, crossed the wall and fell into the penalty area.

After seeing the flight path of the ball, the German team players shouted that they had been fooled:

The opponent's pass was not a pass into the penalty area, but a direct shot!

coming!

Neuer's eyes widened and he was highly focused.

Although Ramos distracted some of his attention, the one he was most wary of was always Lin Quan!

Neuer was once scored by Lin Quan with a free kick in a friendly match at Camp Nou, so he was very aware of the threat of Lin Quan's free kick.

However, Lin Quan has many free kick tricks in his arsenal, such as the elevator ball, leaf ball, etc., which are his specialties.

So, what kicking method will he use for this goal?

At a distance of more than 30 meters, for a football with a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, it only takes one or two seconds to fly into the goal.

It takes about 0.3 seconds of reaction time from seeing the opponent's shot to completing the save.

In other words, Neuer has less than a second to think!

Neuer didn't have much time to judge, he had to make a choice immediately.

Based on his experience with Lin Quan and his subconscious reaction, he chose the right side of the goal.

After Neuer saw the flight path of the ball, he remembered the time he lost the ball.

He thought it was Juninho's S-shaped free kick!

However, the football did not suddenly change direction. Instead, as it approached the goal, it suddenly fell, grazing the crossbar and falling into the net!

It's an elevator ball!

After a few seconds of silence, a deafening roar erupted.

At this moment, Spanish fans all over the world are excited!

Lin Quan used a free kick to score the German team's goal for the third time, completing an incredible hat trick in the World Cup final!

The score became 3:1, and the score that the German team finally recovered was opened again!
