Chapter 406 Halftime 40, the Japanese were stunned
After saving Keisuke Honda's penalty, De Gea roared with excitement.
Saving penalty kicks is a huge test for a goalkeeper. No matter how solid his basic skills are, there is no guarantee that a goalkeeper will be able to save the opponent's penalty kick.
Therefore, any successful save is the result of the goalkeeper exerting his own strength to the extreme and a certain amount of luck, and should receive applause.
On the field, when the Spanish players saw De Gea actually saving the opponent's penalty kick, they all ran over excitedly to pat his butt, touch his head, and send encouragement and praise.
"Well done, David!"
Lin Quan also came back and hugged De Gea. De Gea's skills in the small penalty area are nothing to say, but his ability to control the range and attack is weak.
If he can improve his attacking level in a targeted manner, De Gea's strength will only become stronger.
"Thanks!"
De Gea was very happy after receiving praise from Lin Quan.
This is the approval of the big boss in the team!
Even though Lin Quan is young, he is the well-deserved number one player in the Spanish team. The entire Spanish team will be built around him in the future.
If you want to gain a foothold in the Spanish team in the future, you must have a good relationship with Lin Quan.
The club De Gea plays for is Manchester United, which is a mortal enemy of Lin Quan's team.
Therefore, the two of them did not have much contact in private, and even because of this relationship with the club, De Gea was a little worried that Lin Quanhui would not like him.
This situation is not unheard of in the Spanish team. A few years ago, when Barcelona and Real Madrid accumulated a lot of hatred in the league and Champions League, the players of the two teams brought this conflict to the national team.
This has led to the emergence of obvious factions in the Spanish national team-the Barcelona gang and the Real Madrid gang!
This kind of internal contradiction will inevitably affect the strength of the Spanish team, so it is difficult to say that the rapid decline of the Spanish team in history has nothing to do with this.
Fortunately, Lin Quan is not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong.
Which club De Gea plays for does not affect his evaluation of De Gea.
Unless the other party really did something against themselves.
De Gea, who was in excellent condition, performed better and better in the remaining time and became more and more like a general.
On the bench, Casillas saw De Gea's outstanding performance, with a complicated look in his eyes and mixed emotions.
This summer, Casillas' contract with Real Madrid expired.
However, Real Madrid did not extend his contract invitation. Obviously, Real Madrid did not intend to retain him.
It seems unbelievable to say this. As a two-time World Cup champion and winner of the Golden Glove Award, Casillas is strong enough to rank among the top three goalkeepers in today's football.
Although he is a little older now, his condition will gradually decline.
But the position of goalkeeper is becoming more and more important.
Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, the world's best goalkeeper, is older than him. How can he not firmly occupy Juventus' main position?
Therefore, Real Madrid's purge of Cassie is not entirely due to age.
As for the real reason, Casillas actually had some guesses in his mind.
As early as 2010, Mourinho's first season at Real Madrid, during a FIFA Best Coach selection, there were rumors that Casillas did not vote for Mourinho. .
This caused Mourinho's dissatisfaction, and the relationship between the two parties within the team has not been good.
When Mourinho was still coaching Real Madrid, he always criticized Casillas' journalist girlfriend for leaking team intelligence, and the relationship between the two was very tense.
Although there is no conclusive evidence for these news, the leakage of these rumors itself has had an impact on Casillas' reputation.
Although Mourinho later left, the impact of these things has not subsided.
And club president Florentillo also criticized Cassie because of this and didn't like the captain very much.
Florentillo has publicly expressed his interest in goalkeepers such as De Gea and Buffon, which is undoubtedly a hint to Cassie to pack up and leave early.
As the captain of Real Madrid, Casillas also knows that if he continues to stay at Real Madrid, he may not have any good results.
He joined Real Madrid when he was 9 years old and has been at Real Madrid for 25 years so far.
For such a long time, Casillas knew very well that very few players could get a good death at Real Madrid.
Not even as strong as Raul!
Of course he couldn't do it either, so at the end of the season, when he failed to receive a contract extension from the club, Casillas knew that it was time for him to leave.
Cassie had a vague hunch in his heart that after he left, the person who would replace him in the Real Madrid team would most likely be De Gea, right?
As a result, his position in the national team and club was taken away by the same person.
It's no wonder that his eyes when looking at De Gea are so complicated...
…
On the court, after Spain's main players came on stage one after another, the situation of the game immediately changed drastically.
Compared with the substitute players, Spain's main players are not only stronger, but also have more game experience.
After they came on the field, they did not immediately attack the Japanese team. Instead, they slowly took advantage of their ball control to control the situation on the court bit by bit.
After losing the ball, the Japanese team played more and more passively and could not attack at all. They were forced to follow Spain's rhythm and shrink into their own half little by little.
Not long after, the entire Japanese team retreated to their own half, and their space for movement was greatly reduced. The Spanish team launched a pressing attack on the Japanese team in their half.
coming!
The fans of the Japanese team at the scene all cheered up. The long-awaited Western-style passing football appeared!
“Let’s use the world champion’s strongest tactics to test the strength of our Japanese team!”
Seeing the Spanish team using their pass-and-control tactics, the fans of the Japanese team were on tenterhooks and full of expectations at the same time.
Spain's pass-and-control tactics are famous, and this is a tactic that is invincible in the world.
No team in the world can withstand Spain's tactics.
How scary was Spain during this time?
Someone has made statistics. When meeting Spain in an international competition, losing two is considered a small number, losing three is normal, and losing four or five is not surprising.
The only team that only lost one goal was Argentina, led by Messi and with a large number of top stars in the team.
Other top teams such as the Netherlands and Germany were all beaten to a pulp by Spain!
The horror in Spain has already reached a level that is well known to every household.
Facing such a formidable opponent, it is normal for the Japanese to feel scared.
However, while they are afraid, they also have some expectations in their hearts. Just like in their second-rate hit anime, the protagonist suddenly awakens when being suppressed by the villain, bursts out with amazing power, and finally defeats the villain.
In the eyes of the Japanese, they themselves are obviously the protagonists, and the villain is naturally Spain on the opposite side.
On the sidelines, Japan's head coach Halilhodzic frowned.
Spain's pass-and-control football is indeed well-deserved, and he currently can't see any flaws in the opponent's tactics.
This style of play was completely different from the Spanish team's regular play in the first half, which put all members of the Japanese team under tremendous pressure.
More and more sweat appeared on their foreheads. Facing the Spanish players' movements and passes in the frontcourt, they had to work hard every moment.
Because as long as they relax a little, the opponent may find a flaw and launch a fatal blow.
However, people are not made of iron, and they cannot maintain this state of concentration all the time.
Even if their bodies can bear it, their spirits cannot.
In the 35th minute of the first half, after a ten-minute continuous siege on the Japanese team.
Spain's crazy attack seems to have finally stopped!
Seeing that the opponent's attack had slowed down, the players of the Japanese team breathed a sigh of relief.
If they were besieged like this again, they would be exhausted.
However, just when they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Spain suddenly accelerated their speed.
David Silva suddenly dribbled the ball inward, and after a series of two-on-one coordination with Lin Quan, Iniesta and others, Lin Quan got the ball at the front of the penalty area.
Seeing that the person holding the ball was Lin Quan, the Japanese team's defenders instantly tensed up and felt their scalps go numb.
Before the game, Halilhodzic told them to be careful about Lin Quan and not to give him a chance.
However, Lin Quan was not included in the starting lineup. They did not encounter Lin Quan in the first 20 minutes, which made them gradually relax their vigilance.
At this time, when Lin Quan appeared on the penalty area line with the ball, the fear deep in their hearts was awakened.
For a moment, Hasebe Makoto, Sakai Takatori and others all rushed towards Lin Quan.
Their minds had forgotten about defensive tactics at this time. They only had one thought, which was to stop Lin Quan from breaking into the penalty area, let alone shooting.
Not only were the Japanese players on the court feeling nervous, tens of thousands of Japanese fans in the stands also had their hearts in their throats when they saw Lin Quan dribbling the ball towards the Japanese team's penalty area.
However, after seeing the double-teaming of their three defenders, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
In such a small space, it is absolutely impossible to succeed against three defenders by yourself!
Although there is a video on the Internet of Lin Quan challenging the Chinese team's defense one-on-one, the Japanese dismiss it.
What is the strength of the Japanese team and what is the strength of the Chinese team?
Can this be compared?
Their players are much better than their neighbors next door. After all, many members of the Japanese team play in the five major leagues. How can the national football team compare with them?
Three against one, the advantage is mine, it’s stable!
However, in the next second, they were all dumbfounded!
I don't know what kind of magic Lin Quan used. The football seemed to have come to life, rolling around like an elf under his feet. He easily resolved the opponent's three-man double-team and successfully broke out of the encirclement.
The goalkeeper of the Japanese team, Eiji Kawashima, was dumbfounded!
Is this okay?
Can you successfully break through in one versus three?
Are three of my teammates papery?
Seeing that the Japanese team's goalkeeper was in a daze, Lin Quan could only give up the idea of passing the goalkeeper and decisively chose to shoot.
After all, he really couldn't get past the opponent without leaving the goal.
Kawashima Eiji only had time to make a subconscious save, but the football flew into the goal before his action was completed.
The score became 1:0, and the Spanish team took the lead!
For Lin Quan, this goal can only be regarded as a basic goal, so after his teammates saw him score, they just rushed up to hug him, or patted him on the shoulder and praised him a few times, without seeming too serious. of excitement.
For these players, no matter what feat Lin Quan accomplishes, they are not surprised.
Busques and Iniesta even have a feeling that Lin Quan has surpassed Messi at his peak.
As Messi's teammates, they know better than anyone else how terrifying Messi was at his peak.
However, the feeling Lin Quan gave them on the court at this time was even better. Even this was not his upper limit!
This guy seems to have no upper limit, you never know where his limit is.
Compared with the "well-informed" Spanish players, everyone on the Japanese team was as if they had been struck by lightning, and they were all stunned.
Three guarantees and one failed!
really?
The plot that only exists in anime is actually happening in reality!
It was not only the players on the field who were shocked, but also the tens of thousands of Japanese fans in the stands.
I originally thought that Lin Quan broke through the double-team of the national football team because they were too poor, but I didn't expect that there was no change in the result when they were replaced.
Doesn’t this mean that the Japanese team is just as good as the national football team?
No, absolutely not!
Since this is not the case, there is only one reasonable explanation - Lin Quan is too strong!
The Japanese have a strong admiration mentality. When they meet someone weaker than themselves, they don't treat them as human beings at all.
But when they encounter someone who is stronger than themselves, they can kneel down and lick them in a fancy way, and find 10,000 reasons for themselves to rationalize this behavior.
Just like now, seeing Lin Quan defeating their players easily, the Japanese want to worship Lin Quan as a god.
Too strong, really too strong!
He deserves to be the best in the world, he is so strong!
As a result, something very interesting happened on the field.
This is obviously the home court of the Japanese team, but there are many voices cheering for Lin Quan.
Especially those female fans whose voices were so penetrating that even Lin on the court heard their cheers.
When I turned around, I saw that some female fans had already started to hold up various slogans, portraits and banners to support him, and from time to time they even let out cheers of "Just got it".
This scene made Lin Quan's foot slip and he almost fell to the ground.
His teammates didn't understand Japanese. When they saw Sakura Girl turning against him, they actually started cheering for the Spanish team. The Spanish team members were all crazy and wanted to show off in front of Sakura Girl.
As a result, the Japanese team was unlucky.
Before they could recover from the shock of conceding a goal, they suffered heavy losses one after another in the next ten minutes.
In the 38th minute, Iniesta received an assist from Lin Quan and scored, rewriting the score to 2:0.
Two minutes later, David Silva cut inside and scored with a long shot, rewriting the score to 3:0.
In the injury time of the first half, Lin Quan scored another victory with an extremely elegant S-shaped free kick, setting the score at 4:0.
In the first 20 minutes of the game, the two teams were still going back and forth. When the Japanese team awarded a penalty kick, they once imagined that they could defeat Spain.
But when the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, all their dreams were shattered.
All that's left is fear!
Starting from the 35th minute, Spain has scored 4 goals in just ten minutes!
What they thought was a 50-50 draw was just because their opponents were not serious.
Once your opponents get serious, they will be as weak as paper!
What frightens the Japanese even more is that they conceded four goals in ten minutes and there was still a long 45 minutes in the second half.
If Spain plays with the efficiency of this goal, it seems to be only a matter of time before the Japanese team is kicked out of a tragedy that breaks the team's history.
