Chapter 243: Putting on the armband of the national team captain, a hat trick is not too much, right

"It feels like Italy's chain defense is nothing more than that!"

On the bench, after celebrating with several substitutes, Negredo held his chin and commented seriously.

Such arrogant words would definitely attract criticism from others if they were made in the past.

But today, after seeing their teammates pass the ball easily into the opponent's goal, every Spanish player on the bench felt that Negredo was right.

This kind of goal rarely appears in their team's group matches. It feels like Italy is not as good as their substitute lineup.

Buffon got up from the ground and couldn't help but kick the post next to him.

This goal was thrown in a wasteful way, but judging from the looks of his teammates, they tried their best, but still couldn't stop the opponent's attack.

This made Buffon even more angry!

On the sidelines, the head coaches of both teams reacted calmly after seeing the goal.

Bosque just applauded symbolically. For Spain at this time, this kind of goal can only be said to be due to strength and is nothing to be proud of.

And Italy is their old rival. There seems to be nothing to be happy about defeating such an opponent in a friendly match.

Although Prandelli next door looked calm on the surface, he was actually panicking inside.

He feels that Spain has become stronger than when they met in the Confederations Cup last summer. Their cooperation is more tacit and their passing tactics are more powerful.

However, the lineup is still the same, and some players in the team are even one year older. It stands to reason that Spain's strength should be declining.

But why do you feel that Spain is always evolving and getting stronger?

Last summer, Spain couldn't score such a goal!

Their small-scale cooperation in the frontcourt is certainly eye-catching, but it is only based on Lin Quan's outstanding personal strength.

But today, before Lin Quan showed off his power, they completed such a breathtaking goal through teamwork.

This gave Prandelli a sense of powerlessness all over his body: How can we defeat Spain like this?

Italy couldn't find the answer, so their situation on the court was completely passive.

In the first half, apart from the opening ten minutes, Italy was almost entirely played in their own half by Spain.

If you defend for a long time, you will lose. In the 38th minute, Spain once again played wonderful cooperation, and finally Lin Quan assisted Iniesta to complete the goal.

In the 44th minute, under the double-teaming of three Italian defensive players, Lin Quan was like a football wizard, moving around in a very small space, leaving a gap and scoring the ball.

This excellent ability to combine man and ball, as well as his ultra-fast pace and ability to adjust, shocked the Italian defenders.

They tried their best to score this goal, but they just couldn't prevent it!

The opponent is really too strong!

In the first half alone, Italy conceded 3 goals.

This made many Italian fans who came to support the team feel cold:

With the current state of your own team, how will you compete with those top teams after the World Cup? !

However, they are still in the death group. Is it true that Italy will be eliminated from the group stage again this time?

Italian fans fell into depression and despair, while Spanish fans sang and danced as if they were celebrating the New Year.

They like the team's dominant performance so much!

Who doesn't like food abuse?

What's more, Italy was the last World Cup champion. If we can beat Italy, doesn't it prove that Spain is invincible?

Del Bosque shook his head. Prandelli's Italy disappointed him so much.

It didn't have the effect of training troops!

How about a date with the Dutch team?

However, the Dutch team is their opponent in the World Cup group stage. Will the other party agree to their agreement?

If the Netherlands doesn't work, it seems that Germany and Belgium next to them can give it a try?

Both teams are very good, especially the German team, which is one of the top five teams with odds of winning this World Cup.

After the World Cup group group results emerged, several major gambling companies in Europe also announced the winning odds of each team.

Defending champions Spain are the top favorites for the World Cup, with odds of 1:2.73.

With the World Cup group stage not yet started, this odds can be said to be quite exaggerated.

The second odds are Argentina with Messi, their odds are 1:6.

The third place is the host Brazil team, their odds are 1:6.5.

It should have been higher, but in last year's Confederations Cup final, they were beaten so badly by Spain that the outside world was not as optimistic about them as before.

The fourth highest odds are the German team, their odds are 1:7, which is very close to Brazil's odds.

The fifth place is the European Red Devils Belgium, their odds are 1:10.

This is followed by Italy and the Netherlands at 1:18 and France at 1:22.

The remaining teams' odds are over 30, and it is obvious that their chances of winning the championship are very slim.

Of course, this is a handicap made by a European company, and there must be some favoritism in it.

In terms of the strength of the national team, England may not be Uruguay's opponent. As a result, their odds are much higher than Uruguay's.

Del Bosque didn't want to invite some bad guys to play friendly matches. He was worried that doing so would make the team worse.

Germany and Belgium are both in Europe, so there is no need to cross continents to compete. It is still very convenient to arrange a friendly match.

Both sides made adjustments in the second half, with Del Bosque replacing Valdes, Martinez and Alonso, and replacing Casillas, Cesc Fabregas and Busquets.

After Casillas came off the field, Ramos took over the captain's armband.

However, Ramos sprained his foot just 15 minutes into the second half.

Del Bosque had to replace him. Ramos was unable to move after being injured, so he simply handed the captain's armband to the person closest to him.

And Lin Quan happened to be standing next to him!

"Lin, this is for you!"

After randomly putting the captain's armband into Lin Quan's hand, Ramos was helped by the team doctor to rest.

Because Harvey is still on the court, Lin Quan is ready to hand the captain's armband to him.

But Harvey shook his head: "Lin, you are the captain on the field now, wear it!"

Xavi has confirmed that he will retire from the national team after this year's World Cup, so he has no intention of competing for the captaincy.

On the contrary, as a veteran of the team, he has long seen that Bosque intends to establish Lin's core position in the team.

So after this group of old players retire from the national team one after another, Lin will definitely wear the captain's armband of the national team.

In this case, why not take this opportunity to let him experience the feeling of being a captain in advance!

Now that Harvey said so, Lin Quan was not polite.

So, on this day when he was 18 years and 15 days old, Lin Quan put on the armband of the national team for the first time and became the captain of the Spanish national team.

Although it was only temporary, it still created history for the Spanish national team.

Seeing Lin Quan put on the captain's armband, the Spanish fans at the Calderon Stadium gave him applause.

In the 77th minute, Silva and Iniesta completed a collision with the wall in the frontcourt, and Iniesta made a wonderful pass with his heel from the edge of the penalty area.

Lin Quan received the ball and passed it directly to Silva who was advancing forward. Silva easily pushed and scored.

After scoring this goal, Spain has led by 4 goals!

But they seemed not to be satisfied. The fans at the scene began to boo, wanting Lin Quan to complete a hat trick!

Lin Quan originally thought he could stop playing, but after hearing the applause from the fans, he started to get excited.

As soon as he got strong, the Italians on the opposite side suffered.

Facing Lin Quan, who is becoming more and more active, the Italian defenders are all complaining.

Brother, it's just a friendly match, do you want to fight like this?

Lin Quan felt that if he didn't score a goal after wearing the captain's armband, he would always feel like he was sorry to the audience.

Italy, which had been given four goals, was already angry. Seeing that Lin Quan still wanted to score, their movements immediately began to increase.

As soon as Lin Quan saw the opponent's action, he immediately guessed that the opponent did not want him to perform a hat trick.

Because Italy had been pressed throughout the game, they had too many people inside and outside the penalty area.

If Lin Quan really tried to push in, he might not be sure of success.

But if the opponent takes the initiative to foul, then it's easy!

Just find a place with a better location to touch porcelain!

Therefore, after receiving the pass from his teammate, Lin Quan deliberately led to the middle, as if he wanted to pass five levels and kill six generals, and go straight to Huanglong.

The Italian players didn't know he was bluffing, and thought he was really going to do it.

After all, Lin Quan really has such strength. He and Messi are recognized as the two players in football who have the sharpest breakthroughs and are also the most difficult to defend.

In addition, he had succeeded once before, so the Italian players all believed it, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Marchisio was the first to rush forward, and in the blink of an eye he was passed over by Lin Quan.

Marchisio was shocked. He knew that the opponent's extraordinary ability was very strong, but he did not expect it to be this strong.

No wonder some experts commented that after Messi's injury reduced his breakthrough ability, Lin Quan is the most powerful breakthrough player in football today!

Marchisio did not dare to be careless and immediately reached out to pull Lin Quan from behind.

However, Lin Quan's strength was beyond his imagination, and he was not knocked down by the first blow.

Marchisio was stunned for a moment and quickly used his strength again. This time he succeeded and easily knocked down the opponent.

It just feels like something is wrong?

After looking at the location of his foul, Marchisio's expression froze instantly!

Seeing the location of his teammate's foul, Italy goalkeeper Buffon's expression froze!

Damn it!

A free kick from this position is too dangerous!

After the referee called a foul, Lin Quan got up from the ground, quickly placed the football in position, and stepped back to prepare for the free throw.

Chiellini was very experienced. He argued with the referee about the location of the foul. When he retreated, he pretended not to pay attention and touched the football, causing it to roll a certain distance.

Lin Quan had no choice but to reposition the football, only to find that someone had trampled on the lawn in the original position. If the ball was placed here, the ball's position would drop slightly and it would be a bit awkward to kick. Comfortable.

Lin Quan glanced at Chiellini, who looked at his nose, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart, as if it was none of his business.

Lin Quan kicked the turf a few times and finally filled the hole. Then he put the football back on the ball and took seven or eight steps back to prepare for a free throw.

Since the last time he saw free kick master Juninho's free kick, Lin Quan began to practice hard at free kicks.

He originally only knew two tricks: the leaf ball and the elevator ball, but after watching a lot of videos of Juninho's free throws, he stole the S-shaped elevator ball.

He had never used this move before, and this time he tried it with Buffon!

Buffon happened to be looking at Lin Quan, their eyes met in the air, and Lin Quan gave him an unknown smile.

Buffon felt something bad in his heart.

This kid, what did that look mean just now?

Seeing that the opponent was about to take a free throw, Buffon quickly got rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart and stared at Lin Quan with all his attention, not missing any of his movements.

For a player like Lin Quan who has a balanced left and right foot and no reverse foot, it is very difficult to judge which foot he uses to shoot free throws.

However, it is not difficult for Buffon to win. As an excellent goalkeeper, he can calculate which foot the opponent will use to shoot based on the opponent's steps, thereby determining the direction of the opponent's shot.

In terms of prediction, Buffon is one of the top goalkeepers, one can even be removed!

One step, two steps, three steps...

Lin Quan ran faster and faster, but Buffon became calmer and calmer.

He has already judged that the opponent will shoot with his right foot.

With the power of the right foot, the ball will hit his right side, which is the left side of the goal.

Thinking of this, Buffon kicked the ground hard, and the moment Lin Quan hit the ball, he flew sideways.

Sure enough, the ball flew towards his right!

Buffon breathed a sigh of relief!

Lin, I admit that your breakthrough and shooting are very good, but when it comes to free kicks, you are not among the top people.

In his 18-year career, he has encountered countless free kick masters.

Mihajlovic, Roberto Baggio, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldinho, Juninho and his teammate Pirlo.

These people's free kicks have their own characteristics, some are powerful and some are weird and changeable.

Buffon has accumulated rich experience in playing against them.

In Buffon's view, Lin Quan's free kicks have reached the level of being able to score goals.

But there is still a long way to go before he reaches the pinnacle level of a truly top free kick master.

Considering the opponent's age, maybe one day in the future, he can join the ranks of the top free kick masters, but not today!

Buffon threw himself towards the football with confidence, but just when he thought the ball was a sure shot.

The football suddenly turned strangely and flew to his left.

S-shaped free kick?

Buffon was shocked and immediately thought of Juninho's famous stunt.

He hurriedly stretched out his left hand and tried to intercept it.

But at this time, the other person was moving to the right in the air, and his outstretched left hand was also moving with his body. After all, he was still a little short of the football.

Uh-huh!

With a crisp sound, the football flew into the net.

Buffon was stunned!

Lin Quan was also stunned!

The fans at the scene were also stunned!

When they reacted, the Calderon Stadium immediately erupted into a huge cheer.

hat trick!

Their player scored a hat trick in the game!

Lin Quan also reacted at this time. He ran to the sidelines, stood behind the billboard, opened his arms, closed his eyes, and listened to the cheers of more than 50,000 fans at the scene.

Seeing Lin Quan's action, the fans at the scene cheered louder.

Seeing Lin Quan enjoying the cheers of the fans, Buffon fished the ball out of the net and revised his previous evaluation of Lin Quan.

Maybe, this guy's free kick is not as far away from reaching the top as he thought?

In the end, the game ended. With Lin Quan's hat trick, Spain defeated Italy 5-0 at home.

After the game, Spain's morale was at its peak, while Italy, which had swallowed five goals, regretted it.

Why did you want to play a friendly match with Spain in the first place?
