Chapter 152: Victory led by Lin Quan, Spain beat Uruguay 5-1!

Seeing that Uruguay was scored three goals by Spain in less than half an hour, the expressions of the Brazilian players watching the game on the sidelines became solemn.

As a South American team, Brazil has played against Uruguay many times.

So they are very clear about Uruguay's strength.

Uruguay's strength currently ranks among the top three in South America, second only to Brazil and Argentina.

Moreover, Uruguay is not without the ability to fight against these two teams.

In the America's Cup two years ago, it was Uruguay that eliminated Argentina, entered the final and won the championship.

But now, this South American champion team was beaten badly by Spain on the field.

This made the Brazilian players feel very shocked:

How strong is Spain?

Gulong!

I don’t know who swallowed nervously, it seemed that they could feel the pressure brought by Spain even without playing in the game!

Trailing by three goals, the mentality of the Uruguayan players was close to collapse.

Their mentality became more impatient, and even their actions on the field became bigger than before.

The Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura also seemed to have sympathy for Uruguay, which was three goals behind, and was biased in some of the decisions.

In the 35th minute, Alba was hit by Rodriguez and fell to the ground with his face covered, but the referee did not make any comments.

Uruguay continued to attack, and Ramos knocked Ramirez down in anger.

The Japanese referee was no longer blind this time and ran over to show a yellow card to the Real Madrid defender.

Ramos was so angry that he waved his fist and wanted to argue with the referee.

His teammates were afraid that he would be sent off by the referee because of his temper, so they quickly pulled him back.

However, Busquets, Xavi and others still had a "friendly" discussion with the referee for a while.

The referee insisted on the penalty, saying that he had no objection to the yellow card, but he avoided talking about the previous foul by the Uruguayan team.

The Uruguayans got a free kick in a good position. They waited for Spain to finish arguing with the referee before Suarez took the free kick.

Suarez's footwork was pretty good. He lofted the ball into the penalty area and accurately found another Uruguayan striker Cavani.

The latter's header from 7 meters in front of the goal was caught by the concentrating Casillas.

At the end of the first half, it started to drizzle.

The players from both teams had to play in the rain, but fortunately the rain was not too heavy and there was no water on the field, so the impact on them was not that great! During the halftime break, the rain gradually got heavier.

By the time the second half started, some water had already accumulated on the court.

The accumulation of water on the field had a significant impact on Spain's ground attack.

Uruguay took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, hoping to seize this chance to change the score.

Unlike Spain, which relies on technical skills, they do not rely on ground advancement. If ground attack doesn't work, long passes through the air will also work!

In the 64th minute of the game, Uruguay made a long pass from the backcourt and found striker Suarez.

Facing Pique who was defending him, Suarez fooled Pique with a fake move.

Just as he was about to enter the penalty area, Pique pulled him from behind and knocked him down outside the penalty area.

The referee gave Pique a yellow card and gave Uruguay a free kick in a very good position.

Suarez took a free kick from a similar position in the first half, and that time he chose to go into the penalty area to look for his teammates.

This time, after looking up and observing Casillas' position, he chose to shoot directly.

The quality of this shot was extremely high. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Casillas suffered from being too short and his save failed to touch the ball, so he could only watch the ball go into the net.

Uruguay took advantage of a free kick and Suarez scored a goal.

The score became 3:1!

After scoring the goal, Suarez proudly showed his white teeth to Pique, as if responding to the opponent's provocation before the game.

In this game, he resisted the urge to bite and instead used his excellent footwork to teach his opponent a lesson, which made Suarez very proud.

“Just kick it like that!”

“There is still hope for Uruguay!”

"That's right, Spain is a technical team, and the rain has a much greater impact on them than Uruguay!"

The Brazilian players in the audience who had thought Uruguay was doomed were all cheered up after seeing this goal.

They thought they had found a weakness in Spain, and this excited them.

"It's a pity that we can't control the weather, otherwise it would have rained again when we play against Spain!"

The Brazilian players felt that Uruguay could use the rain to turn the defeat around, and the Uruguayans thought so too.

Now the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there are more and more places with water puddling on the lawn.

Spain's passing error rate began to increase, and no matter how good their footwork was, they couldn't display it in this situation.

Therefore, the more complex the tactics, the less powerful they are.

On the contrary, their tactics of long passes and bottom passes are simpler and more effective.

So, from the moment the goal was scored, Uruguay's attack gradually became more fierce, and even posed a threat to Spain's goal frequently.

The situation was becoming increasingly passive, and the team made repeated mistakes due to water accumulation on the ground.

If we continue like this, the opponent might even score a goal.

Lin Quan knew he had to stand up.

He retreated from the frontcourt again and came to the penalty area to participate in the defense.

With his leadership, other Spanish players also retreated, compressing the Uruguayan's offensive space.

When the number of defenders inside and outside the Spanish penalty area increased, Uruguay's three-pronged attack became difficult to implement.

Cavani and Suarez are not muscular men like Drogba. They have enough impact, but their ability to stand still and score in the penalty area is not strong.

Especially when Spain's tall defensive midfielder Martinez often retreats to the penalty area to defend, it is difficult for them to gain the upper hand in one-on-one fights.

After Cavani was restricted, Suarez's threat increased.

Compared to Cavani, Suarez's speed and explosiveness are weaker.

But he has excellent awareness and a keen sense of smell, and his physical fitness and footwork are excellent.

This guy also has another characteristic, which is that he can always find various handy ways to send the football into the goal in a reasonable or unreasonable way.

The Suarez in 2013 was not the strongest Suarez. It was not until he transferred to Barcelona and formed the MSN combination with Messi and Neymar that people could truly see how terrifying he was.

In the 69th minute of the game, Suarez dribbled past Alba and his shot went slightly wide of the post.

In the 73rd minute, he received a pass from his teammate at the top of the penalty area. When everyone thought he would stop the ball with his chest and then look for a chance to shoot.

Suarez chose to squat slightly and head the ball directly on the spot.

This was an unconventional choice. When he shot the ball, he was about 20 meters away from the goal. Heading the ball at this distance was a very rare choice.

But because of this, the header was so sudden that the goalkeeper was caught off guard.

Casillas' reaction speed was very fast, and he made a save almost the moment the opponent headed the ball.

But he was still a beat too slow and didn't touch the football at all.

Suarez and the Uruguayan fans were almost ready to celebrate, but with a bang, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out.

There were sighs from the scene and the Uruguayan fans felt extremely disappointed.

The Spaniards were so lucky! Lin Quan realized that the team was in danger and Suarez was already in good shape.

If he continues to play so recklessly, he might score a goal soon.

Moreover, Diego Forlan on the sidelines has already started warming up and preparing to play. Once Forlan also comes on the court and the Uruguayan forms a front trident, Spain's defense will become more difficult.

So, he began to take the initiative to ask for the ball and keep the ball under his feet more often.

His teammates all trusted him very much. After Casillas kicked the ball out, Alba immediately passed the ball to Lin Quan.

Lin Quan took the ball and launched an attack from the back half of his own team, and Suarez appeared in front of him at the first moment.

Suarez is in better and better shape and is full of confidence at this time.

He seemed to want to snatch the ball from Lin Quan's feet and then complete a shot.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Seeing that Suarez was rushing in a hurry, Lin Quan estimated that he had exposed a flaw and let the opponent stretch his foot.

The naive Suarez had no idea of ​​his opponent's little thoughts. He thought that Lin Quan had made a mistake and decisively kicked the ball to intercept it.

However, after he kicked the ball, Suarez felt that something was wrong:

Hey, why is the ball gone? Lin Quan pulled the ball, turned around, passed Suarez, and quickly rushed to Uruguay's half.

Before Lin Quan launched the attack, he had already signaled to his teammates.

Spain's teammates in the midfield and frontcourt are now speeding up and rushing towards Uruguay's half.

When the Uruguayan players saw Spain's posture, they all smelled danger.

“Stop him!”

Two players immediately rushed towards Lin Quan, but before they formed a double-team, Lin Quan had already passed the ball to his teammate.

The player guarding Fabregas double-teamed Lin Quan, causing him to be in an open position with no one guarding him.

Lin Quan's pass was of just the right strength, and Fabregas easily stopped the ball without any effort.

Good pass! Fabregas received the pass from Lin Quan comfortably and praised it in his heart.

Being able to pass the ball with such appropriate force in heavy rain and water on the field shows his passing skills.

Because Lin Quan's pass was very good, he was able to stop the ball easily while also having enough time to observe the movement of his teammates and the defensive position of his opponents.

Pedro is suspected to be on the offside line, and if the ball is passed to him, it may fall into the opponent's offside trap.

Iniesta's position is slightly worse, but there is no defensive player within two meters of him, so you can try to pass the ball to him.

The opportunity was fleeting. When Fabregas thought of this, he had already swung his thigh and kicked the ball hard.

The football flew over Uruguay's midfield and to the edge of the opponent's penalty area. Just in time, Iniesta arrived at the right time.

Iniesta dribbled the ball forward, made a beautiful fried meatball, passed the opponent's defender and got a chance to score alone.

Facing the Uruguayan goalkeeper, Iniesta chose to push the ball into the far corner.

The ball was played very tricky. Juan stretched his arms as far as possible and tried to expand the blocking area, but still failed to touch the ball.

With a bang, the football hit the post, but it hit the inside post and then bounced into the net.

The score on the field became 4:1!

Uruguay, who had just scored a goal, thought they could take advantage of the situation to narrow the score gap, but unexpectedly they were hit by the opponent again.

After this goal was scored, Uruguay really had no chance.

By the time Spain finished celebrating, the time on the field had reached the 77th minute.

There was not much time left for them! After scoring the goal, Spain chose to make a substitution.

Mata came on for Pedro and Cazorla came on for Xavi.

At Xavi's age, he has only played for more than 70 minutes, which is considered to be overserving.

A veteran like this needs to be given more time to rest.

Fortunately, after the tough battle with Uruguay, the next two games were relatively easy.

Xavi had enough time to recover! After the substitution, Bosque sat leisurely in the coaching booth, humming a little tune while leaning back in his chair, watching the game on the field with admiration.

With a three-goal lead, Lin Quan still on the field, and only a dozen minutes left in the game, could victory still be within reach?

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was more and more water on the court.

This is a huge restriction on Spain's ground infiltration strategy.

So in the last ten minutes of the game, Lin Quan began to consciously increase the number of high passes, allowing his teammates to go to the penalty area to grab headers.

Ramos, who almost scored a header hat trick in the national team game before, was eager to try.

Whenever there is a chance for a set piece, he will rush into the opponent's penalty area and actively look for opportunities to head the ball.

Seeing that Ramos was so enthusiastic, Lin Quan did not let him make the trip in vain.

In the 83rd minute, Spain got a corner kick.

Pique and Martinez provided cover for Ramos who was lurking at the back post and deliberately ran forward.

They were the two tallest players on the Spanish team, and the Uruguayan defenders marked them most closely.

Seeing the two of them running forward, they thought the other side would pass the ball to the front point, so they ran after them.

As a result, the space in the penalty area was suddenly opened up a lot.

The time is now!

Lin Quan immediately kicked the ball to the back post. Ramos shook off the defender and made a diving header, heading the ball into the Uruguay goal.

5:1!

After scoring the goal, Ramos was so excited that he subconsciously wanted to take off his jersey, but halfway through he remembered that he had a yellow card...

So he didn't care anymore and rushed straight towards Lin Quan, signaling Lin Quan to chest bump to celebrate.

Lin Quan should share half the credit for this goal.

Lin Quan didn't think much about it, he jumped up with all his strength, and collided with Ramos in the air.

With a bang, Ramos fell to the ground.

He looked at Lin Quan in shock:

Good boy, you have a lot of strength! You can't tell from your small body! Not only Ramos, but also the other Spanish teammates were very surprised after seeing it.

Lin Quan is ten centimeters shorter than Ramos and looks a head shorter.

I thought that when the two collided, Lin Quan was the one who suffered.

Unexpectedly, he knocked Ramos down!

"Haha, you are worthy of being a little tank trained in the Bundesliga. With your physical confrontation ability, I think you can even play in the Premier League!"

Pique, who had played briefly for Manchester United, reached out to pull Ramos up and spoke.

David Silva, who plays for Manchester City, said: "Well, if I can play in the Premier League with my body, then Lin will have no problem at all!"
