Chapter 899

Solar was very excited. As a young midfielder, there was no player who had not heard of Lin Chen's name, and many young midfielders were fans of Lin Chen.

Pedri and Gavi were squeezed to the back and couldn't even come forward to say hello to Lin Chen. Lin Chen waved at Pedri, and Gavi finally squeezed over from Rodri and gave Lin Chen a big hug.

"Captain, long time no see. I've always wanted to play in the World Cup with you!"

During the World Cup qualifiers, Lin Chen and Gavi played several games together. Although this young player's passing may not be as strong as Pedri, his overall ability is very strong, especially his ability to steal and his mental attributes. Lin Chen has always believed that Spain needs such a midfielder.

Hierro was the happiest and invited Lin Chen to enter the hotel. The players followed Lin Chen. Lin Chen put down his luggage. Hierro immediately waved his hand and asked several staff members to help Lin Chen decorate the room.

As usual, the players of the Spanish national team all shared a room with two people, except Lin Chen who lived alone in a room!

"Do you have anything to say to these young players? Many of them have never played in the World Cup and have never played with you. They all hope to get some advice from you!"

Hierro looked at these young players surrounding Lin Chen and wanted Lin Chen to say a few words.

Lin Chen thought about it and realized that as usual, every time Jero asked him to say a few words, he had nothing to say.

"Yero's goal is to reach the World Cup final, but I just want to win the World Cup!"

If he can win the World Cup and lead Liverpool to become seven-time champions, it means he will become an eight-time champion. No player in football history has ever become an eight-time champion.

Lin Chen came here for the World Cup championship, and Lin Chen believed that no team could compete with Spain.

"There is no need to say much about our strength. The players who are selected by Hierro into the team are all very outstanding players."

"Some of you have won the World Cup and the European Championship with me, and some of you have never played in a world championship but have performed well in the Champions League or the top five leagues."

"I want to tell you that playing in the World Cup is different from playing in the top five leagues, but as long as you can play to your ability, that's enough."

"The World Cup is also a special event."

Lin Chen smiled and chatted with his brothers, and was about to go into the room to rest, while most of the players still followed behind Lin Chen, chatting with him all the time, and did not look sleepy at all.

In the end, Hierro could only let the players rest and not disturb Lin Chen anymore. Only then was Lin Chen able to lie comfortably on the bed, thinking about the next game.

In the first round of the group stage, Spain will play against Costa Rica, which is also a game that Spain must win.

In a few days, the group matches will begin, and the first group match will be between Saudi Arabia and Argentina.

A few days later, the Spanish players finished their training and went to the locker room to watch the first group match of this World Cup.

Because it is the opening game, there must be a lot of fans watching, and all the tickets are sold out. The fans are expecting the two teams to put on a wonderful performance in the first game. It would be best if it is a goal-scoring battle so that the fans can feel the charm of World Cup goals.

Argentina did have the advantage after the opening, but Saudi Arabia played in a very orderly manner and had very good defensive counterattacks, so Argentina's performance was not very good.

"I don't know if Saudi Arabia can win the game, but I think Saudi Arabia should have a chance to score, their counterattack is very good, and their left side has strong players!"

When Rodri saw that Argentina and Saudi Arabia were in the same group, he said that Argentina would beat Saudi Arabia.

Stars such as Damian Martinez and Paredes guarded the Argentina goal, but when Saudi Arabia scored the first goal, Rodri felt that the game might be won by Saudi Arabia.

Looking at Argentina's offensive tactics, although there were stars like Messi, Argentina did not play the counterattack speed that Scaloni wanted when attacking.

Facing Saudi Arabia, Argentina developed a relatively simple offensive tactic.

Players would create shooting opportunities for Lautaro Martinez through through balls, or for Messi to dribble the ball himself.

It was not until the 68th minute of the game that Argentina equalized the score with a goal scored by Messi.

However, when the game was about to end, Saudi Arabia scored another goal to achieve the winning goal, winning the first group match and defeating Argentina!

Scaloni still looked calm at this time, but after losing to Saudi Arabia, Argentina's qualifying situation was not good.

If Argentina wants to ensure qualification from the group, it must win the last two rounds of the group stage, which means Argentina must defeat Mexico and Poland. If it only wins one and draws one, whether Argentina can advance will depend on the team's game results.

Therefore, the safest way is to defeat Mexico and Poland, but Mexico is not an easy team to play against, and Mexico's team lineup in this World Cup is very young.

Some of Mexico's young stars are very capable, so it will not be easy for Argentina to beat Mexico.

Then another round of group matches was played, with France facing Denmark.

Judging from the strength of their stars alone, France should have been able to defeat Denmark, but after the game started, France's offensive performance was not good.

Mbappe had to wear a mask during the game due to a nose injury, and the mask obviously affected his performance.

It was not until the 89th minute of the game that Mbappe scored the goal to overtake the score and successfully helped the French team defeat the Danish team.

Spain's young players felt the intensity of the World Cup. Denmark and Saudi Arabia performed very well on the World Cup stage.

Many teams will have more confidence and courage after entering the World Cup and will be able to defeat strong teams on the World Cup stage. Therefore, the Spanish team must go all out to face Costa Rica and strive for victory!
