Chapter 153 Scored 12 goals, breaking the Confederations Cup record!
In the end, at the end of the game, Spain defeated Uruguay 5:1 with the outstanding performance of the whole team and got off to a good start in the Confederations Cup.
Lin Quan performed well in this game, scoring two goals and providing one assist. He was selected as the MVP player of the game after the game.
Anyone who has watched this game will feel that this evaluation is well deserved.
His performance on both offense and defense can be said to be at its best.
After this important match, the South American audience was deeply impressed by the young player from Spain.
As one of the twin stars in this Confederations Cup, Neymar, the supernova of the Brazilian team, also had a fire in his heart after watching the Spanish game on the spot.
Unwilling to fall behind, he made an assist and a goal in the match against Mexico two days later, helping the team win 2:0.
Although judging from the score, Brazil seemed to win this game easily.
But in fact, the competition process is extremely thrilling.
Neymar, who was in great form, scored a goal just nine minutes into the game, helping the host team to take the lead early on.
But then Mexico launched a counterattack and Hernandez scored a goal in the 14th minute.
However, the ball was blown off by the referee, and the linesman raised his flag to indicate that Hernandez was offside.
But the slow-motion footage from the TV broadcast showed that it was actually a good shot.
Although a goal was disallowed, the Mexican players were not discouraged. They launched a series of counterattacks in the rest of the first half, putting great pressure on the Brazilian team's defense.
In order to limit the opponent's attack, two main defenders Thiago Silva and Alves received yellow cards one after another.
The suspense of the game remained until the 90th minute, when Neymar stood up again and assisted his teammates to score, changing the score to 2:0, which completely secured the victory.
Although the Brazilian team won the game, judging from the field, they were not able to completely suppress Mexico.
Compared with the game two days ago where Spain suppressed Uruguay throughout the game and eventually won 5:1, this clearly lacks some dominance.
Moreover, Mexico's strength is far inferior to that of Uruguay.
Uruguay is ranked fifth in the world, while Mexico is only ranked 14th, and there is almost a level difference between the two teams.
The Brazilian team's performance has caused people to worry:
Can they really win against Spain, which is in hot form? After the match, Brazil won and qualified for the group stage.
However, people's expectations for their defense of the Confederations Cup have been lowered, and Spain has gradually widened the gap with Brazil in the winning odds on betting sites.
Currently, Spain's odds of winning the championship are 1.73, while Brazil's odds are 2.18. Bookmakers are obviously more optimistic about Spain winning the championship.
Although the outside world is not optimistic about Brazil's defense, the media still praised the performance of Neymar, the superstar of the Brazilian team, in this game.
Neymar performed very well in both games. Not only did he score in two consecutive games, but he also provided assists to his teammates and helped them score goals.
And his gorgeous playing style has also won him many fans.
In the eyes of the majority of football fans, South American players have always been known for their delicate footwork, gorgeous techniques and playing style.
This is completely different from European players.
Just like Neymar and Lin Quan, one of them is gorgeous and cool, and the other is simple and practical.
Neymar shows off his footwork and extraordinary skills in almost every game. As long as he succeeds once, it often causes cheers from the fans on the scene.
But you don’t see too many fancy moves and techniques in Lin Quan.
The tactics he used were very simple, just flicking and spiking, taking advantage of changes in rhythm to complete passing and breakthroughs.
I've almost never seen him use movements like pedaling a bicycle.
As for techniques like the ox tail and pendulum, he can only be seen using them occasionally, and the number of times he uses them is very rare.
These two completely different styles also mean that their fan bases are completely different.
Fans who like simple and practical things cannot appreciate Neymar, and think his style of play is too exaggerated.
Fans who appreciate flashy techniques may not necessarily appreciate Lin Quan's style. They may think that the opponent's way of playing is too boring.
Of course, there is no difference between high and low football skills. As long as they can achieve the ultimate goal, they are all good skills.
However, there is no difference in skills, but there is only one championship trophy.
Whoever wins this Confederations Cup will undoubtedly have the upper hand in the competition between the two! …
After finishing the match with Uruguay, Spain got 4 days of rest.
Four days later, they faced the challenge of Tahiti, the weakest opponent in the group.
As the opponent in this game was too weak, Bosque arranged many substitute players to play when arranging the lineup.
Only Martinez and David Silva were on the field from the starters in the last game.
Many absolute main players, including Lin Quan, were sitting on the bench.
Thanks to the team's large-scale rotation, players such as Torres and Villa all got the chance to start.
Since Lin Quan came to the team, Toni hasn't started for a long time.
He began to miss the days when he started in the team and conquered cities for Spain.
T9, who was so frustrated, showed their best attitude in this game.
Just two minutes into the game, Torres scored with his first shot, helping Spain lead 1:0.
In the 15th minute, David Silva also scored, and the score became 2:0. Ten minutes later, Torres scored twice, making the score 3:0. In the 39th minute, Villa also scored his first goal of the game, and the score became 4:0. Before the end of the first half, Spain was already leading by four goals.
And judging from the data, they also have an absolute advantage.
In the first half of the game, Spain had 88% ball possession, 19 shots in total, 11 of which were on target.
So far, the opponent has not had a single shot on goal, and their ball possession rate is only a pitiful 12%.
The ball would hardly stay at their feet for more than five seconds before it would be snatched away by Spanish players.
But this cannot be blamed on them. After all, the total population of the Tahiti Islands is only 170,000. With such a small population base, it is difficult to gather 11 players.
There is only one professional player in their team, and he plays in the low-level Oceania League.
Most of the other players are semi-professional or even amateur players, and they do not make a living by playing football.
For them, playing football is more of a hobby.
Therefore, it is not difficult for the world champions to defeat such an opponent, but it is difficult to lose! They don’t even need to lose. As long as they lose a goal on the field, it will definitely become the front-page news of the next day and be ridiculed by fans all over the world.
Watching their teammates wrecking ball on the court, the main players sitting on the bench felt very relaxed.
"Isn't that a bit too harsh?"
"Yeah, a little bit. If we keep playing like this, the score of this game might even reach double digits!"
"But Torres and his team haven't played for a long time. It seems impossible to ask them to play more restrainedly!"
After everyone finished speaking, they all looked at Lin Quan. After this guy came, not to mention Torres, the center forward, even Villa, who could play as a winger, had almost no chance to play.
Lin Quan looked innocent: " Why are you looking at me? The coach likes to play without a striker and doesn't like to use a center. You can't blame me for that, right?"
Lin Quan's position is number nine and a half, and he is not the kind of player who plays at the front line.
It is indeed not quite appropriate to say that he took away the position of Torres and others.
If Spain needs a striker up front in the future, Torres still has a chance.
However, Morata is growing very fast, and maybe in a few years he will completely replace Torres.
…
During the half-time break, Spain did not make any personnel adjustments.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and Torres, Villa and others were still eager to fight and had no intention of showing mercy.
In the 49th minute, Villa scored his second goal of the game, and the total score was 5:0. 8 minutes later, Torres performed a hat trick, changing the score to 6:0. 7 minutes later, Villa also completed a hat trick, and the score became 7:0. 2 minutes later, Mata scored directly from a free kick, and the score became 8:0. In the 69th minute, Torres scored another goal, performing a big four, and the score was already 9:0! "Ahem, are you really not going to remind them to be careful about how they attack? If they keep playing like this, I'm worried that the opponent will be psychologically traumatized!"
On the bench, the 'kind' Morata couldn't bear to watch any longer.
This is too tragic. There are still more than 20 minutes in the game and the score is almost in double digits.

As if he heard their call, Bosque began to make substitutions.
Lin Quan comes on to replace Cazorla.
Iniesta comes on, replacing Mata.
Morata comes on to replace Villa.
Bosque substituted Lin Quan and Iniesta to let them warm up and find their form for the next game against Nigeria.
Nigeria's strength is average, so Spain will still rotate.
However, in order to ensure the results, Lin Quan, Iniesta and others will be sent into the field.
As for veterans such as Xavi, they will sit on the bench first and the decision will be made based on the situation of the game.
After Lin Quan came on the court, he automatically assumed the responsibilities of midfield commander.
Iniesta moved to Mata's position, playing as the team's left winger.
Morata replaced Villa as right winger.
This guy has balanced feet and no weak foot, so his position on the court is not fixed.
He seems to be able to play center, left or right wing, which is similar to Lin Quan.
However, his footwork is not as good as Lin Quan's, and his passing vision is not as good as Lin Quan, so he cannot play as a front midfielder.
"Lin, pass it to me, pass it to me, let me score!"
Morata saw Lin Quan holding the ball and immediately reached out for it.
It was as if he had completely forgotten what he had just said on the bench! I don't know who said to show mercy...
Morata's positioning was excellent, and when he reached out for the ball, he was in a better position than Torres.
So Lin Quan did not reject his application. After dribbling past the player who was trying to steal the ball, he made a straight pass.
This ball was given an advance chance. If Morata couldn't get past the defender in front of him, he wouldn't be able to get the ball.
Good job Morata! After seeing Lin Quan really pass the ball to him, he immediately accelerated, pushed away the defender defending him, broke into the penalty area and shot the ball into the net.
Compared to him, who is nearly 190 cm tall, the Tahitian player defending him is less than 1.8 meters tall and weighs nearly 10 kilograms less than him.
In addition, the opponent is not a professional player and has not received much physical confrontation training, so the physical confrontation abilities of both sides are not at the same level at all!
Morata's push was somewhat similar to the way Haaland ate the defender alive ten years later.
But Haaland is facing defenders from the top five leagues, what are you doing?
Seeing Morata rushing towards him excitedly after scoring the goal, Lin Quan dodged and avoided his hug.
Walking away, with an expression that said, "I don't know this guy!" The score on the field had become 10:0, but there was no look of frustration or collapse on the faces of the players from the Tahiti Islands.
On the contrary, seeing them actively fighting and defending with all their might, it seems that they are still enjoying the game? This is the first time that the Tahiti Islands have participated in an international competition. Because the overlord of Oceania, New Zealand, was unexpectedly eliminated by another weak team, they successfully picked up the opportunity to play in this Confederations Cup.
For the players from the Tahiti Islands, just being able to stand on this field is already a victory.
As for matters such as winning or losing, they were certainly not arrogant enough to think they could defeat the world hegemon, Spain.
Moreover, in the last match against Nigeria, although Tahiti lost the game, they scored a goal, creating a breakthrough in the world championship! With this goal, even if they were slaughtered in the next few games, there would be no regrets!
The Tahitian players' never-give-up spirit, their positive attitude and tenacious fighting spirit won them applause from the audience.
Even though the score had become 10:0, the audience was still watching with great interest, and even cheered for them loudly:
"One goal!"
"One goal!"
Many Brazilian fans who like to watch the fun even hope that Tahiti can score a goal against Spain.
That way, it would be a reward for their serious play and also a way to humiliate the world champion.
But their conspiracy is probably difficult to realize.
After Lin Quan came on the pitch, he put Spain's midfield in good order.
The tempo of the game was firmly in Spain's hands, leaving the opponent no chance to counterattack.
In the 78th minute, Torres ran into an open space and was about to reach out for the ball, but Lin Quan's wonderful pass had already been delivered to his feet.
Torres was both surprised and delighted. He didn't expect that the opponent's passing skills had reached such a level.
He did not waste the wonderful pass given to him by Lin Quan. After breaking into the penalty area, he dribbled past the goalkeeper and shot into the empty goal, scoring his fifth goal of the game.
After scoring the goal, Torres immediately ran towards Lin Quan and hugged him to celebrate.
"Thank you for the pass, it was a great pass!"
Ever since Lin Quan came to the team, Torres has lost his main position. It would be a lie to say that he has no resentment in his heart.
But after receiving this assist from Lin Quan, all the resentment in Torres' heart disappeared.
The opponent is indeed stronger than himself, and he can provide more help to the team on the court.
Torres was convinced of losing to him!
"You are good at positioning!"
Lin Quan didn't know what Torres was thinking deep inside, but he still praised him.
Although Torres no longer has the explosive power after his injury, his experience and awareness are still there.
Morata still has a long way to go in this regard! In the 89th minute of the game, Lin Quan also scored his first goal of the game with a free kick, helping the team beat Tahiti 12:0.
This score broke the record for the biggest score in a single game in the Confederations Cup. The previous record was Brazil's 8:2 massacre of Saudi Arabia in 1999.
Spain has doubled this record! Unless there is another team as weak as Tahiti in the Confederations Cup, it will be almost impossible for the newcomers to break this record! (End of this chapter)
