Chapter 150 How terrifying is the complete Spain!

After Brazil's opening match, it was Spain's turn to play the next day.

Completely different from the Samba Army's match arrangement, Spain's match order is difficult first and then easy.

Their first game was against the strongest opponent in the group - Uruguay!

The two teams met in a friendly match a few months ago, in which Spain defeated their opponents with a score of 3:1.

Moreover, in the historical confrontations between the two teams, Spain remained unbeaten with 5 wins and 5 draws, and has an absolute advantage.

So before the game, people were more optimistic about Spain.

But Uruguayans don't think so.

Before the game, several strikers in the Uruguay team said in interviews with reporters that they wanted to avenge their previous defeat against Spain and break their undefeated curse.

Cavani: "Spain is very strong, but I have found a way to break their goal. In this game we will end the Spaniard's 22-round unbeaten streak!"

Since losing to England in November 2011, Spain has gone 22 rounds unbeaten in the national team's official competitions.

This result is enough to show their strong dominance in football in recent years! Suarez: "The Spanish defenders can't defend me and my teammates. We will definitely win this game!"

Although the Liverpool striker was involved in a biting scandal on the field, no one can deny his threat in the penalty area.

As long as he is given the opportunity, he is definitely capable of changing the score.

The opposing team's stars made harsh remarks, and the stars in the Spanish team naturally did not want to be outdone.

Pique, who loves to show off, was the first to speak out: "Haha, Suarez said he can break through our defense? Is he going to break through with his teeth?"

The comment was a mockery of Suarez's scandal involving biting an opposing player in the Premier League two months ago.

Because of this biting behavior, Suarez was severely punished by the English Football Association and was banned for 10 games, and he missed all the remaining games of Liverpool.

Pique's attack on the opponent's scandal was immediate.

Suarez was completely enraged and directly threatened Pique to be careful on the court.

Pique was not scared. He complained directly to the tournament committee, believing that his personal safety was threatened.

The tournament committee had to come forward and say that they would severely punish serious fouls that violated sports ethics on the field.

After being warned by the tournament committee, Suarez finally calmed down.

The war of words between the players of both sides attracted the attention of many fans. In addition, this game was the most anticipated game since the start of the season, so it attracted many fans to watch.

Among them, half are fans of the two teams, and the other half are fans from Brazil.

For Brazilian fans, this game was purely for fun.

Uruguay and they are old enemies, and there are many grievances between the two sides.

So Brazilian fans won't support Uruguay.

Brazilians believe that Spain is their biggest competitor in this Confederations Cup, so naturally they will not cheer for Spain.

However, there are some exceptions, namely the Chinese fans living in Brazil.

This game attracted many Chinese people to watch the game. In addition to enjoying the wonderful game between the two teams, they came here.

Another purpose was to see the Chinese genius Lin Quan! "Brother Lin, look over here!"

During the warm-up session before the game, as soon as Lin Quan came on the field, he felt the cheers coming from the sidelines.

Hearing a long-lost language in a foreign country made Lin Quan feel a little dazed.

However, when he saw the faces of those people who called out his name, a knowing smile immediately appeared on his face.

He waved to the fans to indicate that he had noticed them.

Unexpectedly, this move made the fans so excited! "Fuck, Emperor Lin greeted me!"

"Bullshit, he was clearly saying hello to me!"

"Both of you stop being so conceited, and shout together, asking Emperor Lin to come over and give us an autograph!"

So, this group of Chinese fans shouted in unison:

"Lin Huang, we are your fans, can you sign an autograph for us?"

Because the game hasn't started yet, although there are some noisy sounds in the stadium, there is no uniform cheering.

Therefore, Lin Quan on the field could hear clearly the unified shouts from these dozens of people.

Not only Lin Quan, but even his teammates noticed it.

“Lin, is that your fan?”

Morata came over with an envious look on his face and asked curiously.

Why isn't anyone cheering me on?

After all, I am a super star of the national team and Real Madrid!

"I think so. I'll come over!"

Lin Quan picked up a football from the ground and walked to the sidelines holding it.

As he walked, he borrowed a pen from the staff on the sidelines and signed his name on the football.

"Thank you for coming to cheer me on. This football is for you!"

After Lin Quan handed the football to the group of fans, he signed autographs for a few people before returning to the field to continue training.

Until Lin Quan left, the group of people didn't react: "Damn, Emperor Lin actually signed for us!"

"Sorry guys, I was too excited just now and didn't hear clearly. Did Emperor Lin just speak in Mandarin?"

"Yes, standard Mandarin, more accurate than what I, a Chinese, can say!"

A Chinese expatriate who came from China to travel said, "What a pity that Lin Quan has already played for the Spanish national team. Otherwise, it would be great if he could play for the national team!"

"Please let Lin Huang go. You know the situation of our national team. It's a big melting pot. Anyone who enters will be corrupted!"

"You're right. The Chinese national football team is so rotten that it's useless to get rid of one or two superstars!"

…

Lin Quan had no idea what these fans were discussing after he left. After returning to the court, he focused seriously on training.

However, during training, Lin Quan noticed that someone on the field was staring at him.

He looked over curiously and found that it was a Uruguayan player wearing a headband and with thick hair.

When he saw the other person, Lin Quan recognized who he was - Diego Forlan! Seeing that Lin Quan noticed him, Diego Forlan smiled at him and retracted his gaze.

As a super shooter who once scored 30+ goals in a single season for Atletico Madrid, Diego Forlan seemed to see the shadow of his youth when he saw Lin Quan.

It’s so good to be young! How great would it be if I could be as young as him now?

Diego Forlan, 34 years old, has entered the end of his career.

After being kicked out by Inter Milan, he had no ball to play in the top five leagues and had to return to the Brazilian Serie A.

Therefore, this Confederations Cup is probably his last chance to play for his country.

Given his current condition, he may not be selected for the national team's roster for next year's World Cup as he is one year older.

So, this game is of great significance to Diego Forlan!

…

After the warm-up, the players of both teams returned to their locker rooms to prepare for the game.

Bosque emphasized his tactical arrangements in the locker room again, and Spain should focus on themselves in this game.

As for Uruguay, their coach took the time to remind the players of various precautions.

"You have seen the strength of the opponent's No. 30 last time. The three goals we lost were all related to him. Therefore, you must keep a close eye on him in this game and never give him any chances. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Boss!"

"Very good, then come on stage!"

Tasware stood at the door, high-fiving each player and watching his players go off into battle like warriors.

For Uruguay, this is their return to the Confederations Cup after 16 years.

Uruguay was looking forward to achieving a good result in this Confederations Cup, at least not losing the first game! However, the opponent was too strong, so they did not have a winning attitude.

Therefore, the entire Uruguayan team was in high spirits in this game and played at their best to deal with the enemy.

Compared to them, the Spanish players are in a much more relaxed mental state.

Especially the Barcelona players in the frontcourt, they were talking and laughing with each other, and there was no sign of nervousness at all.

The opponent's calmness made the Uruguayan players feel humiliated.

Hey, we are a strong team! We are the team that has won the most Copa America titles in South America!

How dare you ignore us like this?

The Uruguayan players are angry!

After the opening, they immediately launched an attack on Spain.

The Uruguayan fans at the scene were very excited to see their team playing so actively. They raised their voices and cheered for the team.

"They played so hard at the start, but they ran out of energy in the second half. Let's see what they can do!"

"Haha, they made a wrong calculation in trying to get the ball from our Spanish team!"

Compared to the excited Uruguayan fans, the Spanish fans at the scene seemed very calm.

They have seen such scenes many times and are no longer surprised!

Faced with Uruguay's aggressive fighting, the Spanish players increased the frequency of passing the ball.

The ball would hardly stay at anyone's feet for more than 2 seconds, which made the Uruguayan players' active fighting ineffective.

If you want to steal the ball from the Spanish players, it is not enough to rely on these few people in the frontcourt.

They need to deploy more troops!

But if they really did that, Spain's terrifying frontcourt offensive combination would teach them a lesson! So, after only five minutes, the Uruguayan offensive was unsustainable.

"What are Uruguay doing? Either they all rush for the ball together, or they don't rush for the ball at all. What they are doing is completely wasting the players' energy."

In the audience stands on the sidelines, the Brazilian national team players who came specially to watch the game were very puzzled by Uruguay's choice.

"Maybe because they lost to Spain before, so they are a little scared?"

Marcelo, the Real Madrid left-back with a cool afro hairstyle, knows Barcelona's strength better than anyone else because he suffered losses at the hands of Barcelona in the league.

The central axis of the Spanish national team is built mainly around Barcelona, ​​and the frontcourt configuration is even stronger.

Before they didn't have Lin Quan as a driver, they always seemed to be missing something and their offensive firepower was slightly insufficient.

But now, with this super winger whose strength is comparable to Messi, Spain has directly evolved to its complete form.

How strong is Spain in this state? I'm afraid only the teams that have actually played against them can understand.

And Uruguay just happens to have such experience!

"Uruguay's defense is average, but their forward line is very strong. They shouldn't give up their advantages like this, but should actively develop their strengths!"

Thiago Silva, known as the world's best defender, is not very optimistic about Uruguay's defense.

On the contrary, he is more afraid of the opponent's forward line.

If he were asked to defend Suarez and Cavani, he was not sure he could do it.

"They're scared before the battle even begins. I'm afraid Uruguay will lose this game!"

After hearing the analysis from the two older brothers in the team, the other Brazilian players all became pessimistic about Uruguay.

"Uruguay's strength on paper is indeed inferior to their opponents, but even if they lose, this game should be able to force Spain to come up with something, which is very helpful for us!"

Alves, the defender from Barcelona, ​​spoke up.

He was the person on the Brazilian team who was most familiar with the Spanish style of play. After hearing what he said, everyone stopped talking and started watching the game quietly.

…

After Uruguay stopped fighting, Spain's attack began to gradually gain momentum.

In the 5th minute of the game, Lin Quan dribbled the ball and switched positions with Pedro.

Pedro made a pick-and-roll move similar to that on the basketball court, blocking the defensive player for Lin Quan, giving him space to start and break through.

Lin Quan did not waste the opportunity created by his teammates. He quickly dribbled the ball into the penalty area and completed a cross after attracting two opposing defensive players.

The ball was a low, fast ball, and very close to the goal.

If anyone can hit it on its flight path, it is very likely to be a goal.

Unfortunately, David Silva's sliding shot in front of the goal failed to touch the ball, and the football slipped through the goal, making the Uruguayan player break out in a cold sweat.

After missing this opportunity, Silva gave Lin Quan a thumbs up, indicating that he had made a good pass.

It’s just that my height is limited and I don’t have legs over one meter long, otherwise I would have a real chance of scoring this goal.

Although this opportunity was missed, Spain's attack had already gained momentum.

In the 10th minute, Alba made a low pass from the left, Fabregas stopped the ball about 16 meters in front of the goal and quickly completed the shot.

The ball went past the goalkeeper but was blocked by the left post.

Spain missed two good chances to score within five minutes.

But Spain's attack was not over yet. Iniesta followed up with a shot and kicked the ball into the goalkeeper's face, knocking him out.

The Uruguayan goalkeeper actually subconsciously wanted to dodge the ball, but the ball was too fast and he was hit in the face.

The good news is that the ball didn't go in, the bad news is that the goalkeeper seemed to have a concussion.

So, after ten minutes of the game, Uruguay had to make a substitution.

They replaced the injured Muslera with second goalkeeper Juan Castillo.

As it turned out, this substitution was definitely a failure.

Uruguay's second goalkeeper had no time to warm up, and was scored by Spain just one minute after coming on the court!

In the 11th minute, Iniesta and Lin Quan made continuous wall passes and almost broke through the opponent's defense.

All Uruguayan defenders were attracted by the two players, and there was a huge space on the other side.

After seeing the opportunity, Iniesta decisively passed the ball to Fabregas who was in the open space on the right.

Fabregas's fierce shot caused the goalkeeper to lose his grip, but Lin Quan in the penalty area cleverly rushed to the ball before the goalkeeper could control it and completed the follow-up shot, changing the score to 1:0. Spain got off to a dream start!
