Chapter 372 The world champion VS the uncrowned king, another game of grievances!

"Lin, pass the ball to me more when you play later, I have a hunch that I'm going to score!"

Standing in the player tunnel, when he was about to enter the field, Morata moved to Lin Quan's side and said to him.

Lin Quan glanced at him, seeing his pleading face, nodded and said:
"Pay attention to the timing!"

Morata was placed in the starting position today. If he can score goals, he might win the trust of Bosque, and his position in the national team will be secured in the future.

However, Lin Quan feels that with Diego Costa in charge, it may be difficult for him to become the starter.

Compared with Morata, Diego Costa's scoring efficiency is much higher.

After the World Cup, Spain's strikers have also undergone new and old replacements.

Torres and Villa both faded out of the national team, and Villa also left the five major leagues.

After he hesitated for a long time between the Chinese Super League and the North American Major League, he finally chose to join New York FC.

Leaving the five major leagues means that he will no longer receive a call from the national team.

But for Cucurbita, who has won two European Cups, two World Cups, and one Confederations Cup with the team, it doesn't really matter if he comes or not when the team has successors.

At this time, Spain is not in a state where the dynasty is about to collapse.

Although there are plenty of talents in the team, Bosque's formation in this game is still relatively cautious.

He only arranged for a few young players such as Morata, Isco, and Juanfran to play, with the goal of steadily winning this crucial game.

The reason for doing this is because there have been painful lessons before.

In the European preliminaries on October 10 last year, Spain lost to Slovakia away.

In that game, Bosque replaced a large number of new players aggressively, and Lin Quan and other main players have not yet been called.

The mentality of the new players was unstable, and after unexpectedly falling behind in the start, they became more and more anxious. They clearly had the advantage of the game, but they were unable to score. After besieging most of the half, Paco finally scored a goal in the 82nd minute to equalize the score.

However, they were inexperienced, and when their opponents caught the goal and their psychological defense was lax, they scored another goal in the 87th minute of the game and beat the Spanish team.

This defeat is Spain's first loss in an international competition after four years since losing to Chile in the 2010 World Cup group stage.

Even counting the friendly match, it was the first defeat in three years.

This loss made the new players very panic. Even the old players comforted them and said that this was just an ordinary European Cup qualifier, and it was nothing to lose, and it did not affect their first place in the group.

But because of his poor performance, the team's undefeated golden status was broken, and the new players will inevitably panic and blame themselves.

In view of this, Bosque felt that it should not be too hasty, but should be done step by step, and the number of appearances and time of young players should be increased little by little.

In this process, it is best to arrange some more main players to take them along and help them regain their confidence.

In the stage of the replacement of the old and the new, the team will inevitably have a painful period. Bosque hopes that this painful period will pass as soon as possible.

At present, a large number of post-2016 players are still in the golden period, but after the [-] European Cup is over, these players will all start to go down the road.

At their age, it is hard to say how much state they will have in the 2018 World Cup.

Therefore, the time left for Bosque to adjust is only about three years.

I hope that in the past three years, more young and powerful players will emerge in Spain!
It is best to have a few more players like Lin Quan!
Of course, this is wishful thinking!

……

The strength of the Ukrainian team is not strong. In Group C, they currently rank third in points, equal with Spain and 3 points behind Slovakia.

Therefore, for both sides, this game is a key battle for the right to qualify for the group.

But if Spain loses to Ukraine, their qualifying situation will take a turn for the worse, and they may not be able to qualify in the end.

For the double champions of the World Cup and the European Cup, it is too embarrassing to spread the news of not being able to qualify for the European Cup. They can't afford to lose this person anyway.

So in this game, Bosque gave the team a death order and must be won!

After the opening, Spain did not conduct a test, and launched a fierce attack on the Ukrainian team with the advantage of the home court.

Ukraine knows the huge gap between its own strength and the World Cup champion, so this game honestly set up a bus in its own half, trying to use defensive counterattack tactics to try to steal one.

It doesn't matter even if they can't steal, and they can get a point in the away game, which is a completely acceptable result for them.

The opponent's bus caused some obstacles to Spain's attack. In the first 20 minutes of the game, Spain had a high ball possession rate and firmly grasped the initiative on the field, but their offense failed many times. Chi couldn't penetrate the opponent's defense.

This made the Spanish fans who came to watch the game feel impatient and worried. They began to call the names of the players on the field, hoping that they would stand up.

As the biggest player on the field and the core of the national team, Lin Quan's name was called the most and the loudest.

Seemingly hearing the cries of the fans, Lin Quan started to act!

In the 28th minute, relying on his strong personal strength, Lin Quan sent a kick pass from the left side of the penalty area after passing two people in a row, assisting Morata to complete the goal.

After scoring the goal, Morata jumped onto Lin Quan's body excitedly, hugged Lin Quan's head, and kept kissing his hair.

"Good pass, the pass is so beautiful!"

Morata was full of praise for Lin Quan's pass just now. He felt that he had never scored such a comfortable goal.

If I could have a teammate like Lin Quan when I was in the club, then my goals would definitely be able to reach another level.

He feels that his current teammates, such as genius midfielder Pogba, can't send such a comfortable pass at all.

"Lin, a few more passes like this will come later, I feel that I am in great shape, and I will definitely score a hat-trick in this game!"

Morata said vowedly.

Lin Quan saw that the quality of the opponent's shot just now was really good, so he chose to believe him for the time being.

After the score fell behind, Ukraine's iron barrel formation couldn't go on, and they had to attack.

And once they attack, Spain's offensive problem will naturally be solved.

In the 32nd minute, Lin Quan sent a through pass to Morata again, but Morata kicked the ball into the stands.

There was an uproar at the scene, countless fans hugged their heads with their hands raised to celebrate the goal, and were shocked by Morata's outrageous shot.

Morata himself was also very surprised. Didn't expect this ball to be able to fire anti-aircraft guns?
"Lin, my left foot is the dominant foot. Next time pass to my left foot, I promise to score a goal!"

Lin Quan frowned suspiciously: Is this guy's dominant foot left?

How do I remember that he seems to be able to bend his left and right feet, and there is no reverse foot?

Forget it, since he said so, let's just believe him for once!

In the 55th minute of the second half, Spain played a smooth cooperation. After hitting the wall consecutively, Lin Quan sent Morata a nanny ball again.

And the ball was specially passed to Morata's left foot according to Morata's request.

When Lin Quan passed the ball, the goalkeeper had lost his defensive position, and Morata's shot was almost empty.

However, his shot from the far corner missed the far post and rolled off the baseline.

"Wow!"

"hiss!"

Spanish exclamations and gasps came from the scene, who is this guy?

Why is footwork so smelly?

Can you not enter the empty door?
What a waste of Lin Quan's wonderful biography!

After wasting two wonderful passes in a row, Lin Quan learned his lesson and stopped passing the ball to this kid.

He doubted that the kid's first shot was fooled. With his footwork, how could he shoot such a high-quality shot?

It just so happened that Morata got consecutive shots, which made the Ukrainian players pay more attention to him.

So, taking advantage of this opportunity, in the 72nd and 77th minutes of the game, Lin Quan assisted David Silva and Pedro consecutively to complete the goal.

After scoring two goals in a row, the score became 3:0, and the outcome of this game has been divided.

In the 80th minute, Bosque started to make substitutions. He replaced Morata, who was getting lost on the field, and replaced him with Diego Costa.

Two minutes later, Bosque replaced Lin Quan, the absolute hero who led the team to victory, and asked him to accept the applause of the fans alone.

Tens of thousands of Spanish fans at the Pizjuan Stadium stood up collectively and applauded Lin Quan.

After Lin Quan high-fived his teammates who came off the bench, he also applauded to the surrounding stands in response.

The main color of the Peasejuan Stadium is red, which symbolizes fiery enthusiasm.

Judging from the actions of the fans throughout the game, it really deserves its reputation.

Although the size of the stadium is small and the capacity is only more than 45000 people, Lin Quan and other players in Spain like this stadium very much.

Probably because the colors here are very close to the colors of the Spanish team uniforms, which gives them a sense of intimacy.

Plus the team won the game here, let them feel happy!
In the end, Spain defeated Ukraine 3:0 at home, but on the other hand, Slovakia also defeated Luxembourg 3:0. The difference between the two sides is still 3 points, and Spain temporarily ranks second in the group.

The next round of the group stage will have to wait until mid-June, when Spain will go to Minsk to challenge Belarus away.

After the end of the European preliminaries, the Spanish national team has not been disbanded.

They took advantage of the opportunity of the international match day and invited an old rival to an international friendly match.

This old opponent is none other than Spain's old enemy, the uncrowned king Netherlands.

On April 4, April Fool's Day, the Spanish team came to Amsterdam to challenge the Dutch team.

In this game, both sides arranged a large number of young players to play in a tacit understanding, but the Dutch team obviously came prepared.

In the 13th minute of the game, the Dutch team used a corner kick to create chaos in the Spanish penalty area. In the end, the central defender De Vry, who played for Lazio, scored a goal to help the Dutch team take the lead temporarily.

Three minutes later, the Dutch team scored another goal, which was played by Ajax's Klaassen.

Conceding two goals in a short period of time, the Spanish players on the field were almost stunned.

They have always been good at pass and control advantages, but they are actually behind their opponents in ball possession rate.

This made Bosque on the bench unable to sit still.

These young people are a little unreliable!

Why did he kick like this?
Originally talking and laughing, the main players sitting on the bench chatting saw the team conceding goals in a row, and the players were beaten to the point of losing their minds, they involuntarily stopped talking, and their expressions became serious.

These young people of the Dutch team look a bit fierce!

Except for a few old players such as Vermeer, Huntelaar, Sneijder, and Jan Matt, the remaining seven players are all born in the 7s, and there are even two players born in 90.

On the field, the Dutch fans who came to watch the game felt elated when they saw their team beating Spain.
In the past two World Cups, Spain has created countless hardships for the Dutch.

They lost to Spain in the final of the World Cup in South Africa and lost a great opportunity to take off the title of uncrowned king.

Last year's World Cup in Brazil, they encountered Spain in the first game of the group stage, and they were beaten by Spain with an exaggerated score of 5:1.

After this big loss, the players of the Dutch team were hit hard and their confidence suffered a severe setback. Although they barely made it out of the group stage, they fell to the top [-] and missed the championship again.

It is conceivable how much the Dutch hate the Spanish team after being ruined by the Spaniard twice in a row.

However, while they were happy, they also felt that there was a fly in the ointment.

The opponent's main force, especially No. [-] player Lin Quan, was still sitting on the bench and did not play.

If he is on the field, it may be difficult for the Dutch team to obtain such a huge advantage.

Although they were very pleased with the outstanding performance of the post-[-]s generation in their team, once they remembered Lin Quan's existence and his age, the Dutch fans would not be happy again.

Lin Quan, born in 1996, is younger than the youngest player on their field.

And the Dutch team can't find any players who can match Lin Quan!
In the second half, Bosque replaced all the main players in one breath, Lin Quan, Diego Costa, Iniesta, David Silva, Busquets and Ramos and others appeared one after another.

The Dutch team was not to be outdone, and also replaced the main players such as Van Persie and De Guzman.

The full main lineup of both sides played, turning a warm-up friendly match into a strong duel like a World Cup final.

However, in previous games, the Spanish players have already proved it with practical actions.

Their strength is stronger than the main force of the Dutch team!

After 10 minutes, with Lin Quan's brace and Ramos' header, Spain reversed the game 3:2 and defeated the Netherlands in the warm-up match.

The development of this game into such a result seems to make people forget its original intention-this should have been a warm-up friendly match.

Unexpectedly, it turned into a game of grievances in the end!

However, using the main team to win the victory cannot cover up the problems of young Spanish players.
