Chapter 159 Pele: I think Brazil will win! Brazil: I am not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!
Lin Quan nodded silently, without saying anything more, and immediately used a fierce fight to let Pirlo see his defensive ability.
Yes, Lin Quan's defensive ability is indeed not strong, but this guy has good physical fitness! Pirlo is 177 cm tall and weighs only 69 kg.
Lin is 173cm tall and weighs 73kg.
In addition, Lin Quan is ten years younger than Pirlo, which makes the physical confrontation abilities of the two sides completely on a different level.
Lin Quan failed to snatch the ball from Pirlo's feet, and he had no intention of doing so.
He was simply increasing the intensity of Pirlo's movement, interfering with his ability to receive and pass the ball, making it impossible for Pirlo to receive and pass the ball comfortably.
Pirlo is the brain of Italy's midfield and the most important link in the Italian system.
Restricting his passing is like cutting off Italy's arm.
As expected, after Lin Quan entangled Pirlo, Italy's offensive firepower suddenly dropped.
On the contrary, Spain took advantage of the opponent's attack and launched several threatening attacks.
In the 68th minute, Xavi took a corner kick from the right side, and Ramos jumped high in the middle and headed the ball, but it was slightly higher.
In the 75th minute, Lin Quan broke through and passed the ball, and Iniesta made a pass that broke through the Italian defense.
Pedro's shot in front of the goal was blocked by Buffon's legs, and Spain missed the opportunity to expand the score.
In the 77th minute, Fabregas made a long diagonal pass from his own half. The ball flew across most of the field and found Lin Quan who was on the wing.
Lin Quan received the ball at high speed, dribbled inside, passed Bonucci who was defending behind, and entered the penalty area!
The pass was over 60 meters, and because it was so fast, the Italians had no time to get into position to defend.
After passing Bonucci, Lin Quan got the opportunity to challenge the goalkeeper one-on-one.
This time Buffon chose to attack. When he approached Lin Quan, he stared at Lin Quan intently and was ready to save the ball at any time.
In this match, Buffon's situation was even worse than the last time.
The Italian defender was still far away from Lin Quan, so Lin Quan had more time to complete the attack.
Lin Quan glanced at Buffon and kicked the ball decisively.
This is a ground ball, which is not only hit at a tricky angle but also at a very fast speed.
When Buffon saw the opponent's shot, he thought to himself that something was not good.
In order to prevent being passed, he did not choose to lower his center of gravity completely, but this caused his speed to be half a beat slower than normal when he saved the ground ball.
When masters fight, this half beat can be fatal.
Buffon's reaction speed is already top-notch. When he saw Lin Quan shooting, he stretched out his legs to intercept.
But the football was one step faster than him and slipped past him before he could stretch his legs to intercept it.
Unable to touch the ball, Buffon could only hope that the opponent's shot would go wide of the goal!
But unfortunately, this did not happen.
The angle of the ball was quite tricky, and the football almost flew into the net along the inside goal post.
Even if Buffon blocked the ball in time, he might not be able to touch the ball.
What a scary guy! Thinking of this, Buffon's eyes changed when he looked at Lin Quan.
He thought of the top shooters he had played against before, and the feeling Lin Quan gave him at this moment was just like these people.
…
If Lin Quan's first goal only helped the team establish an advantage and made Spanish fans feel a little relieved.
The second goal helped them completely secure the victory.
It was too difficult for Italy to score two goals in less than 20 minutes remaining when their attack failed to pose a threat.
The Spanish fans finally felt relieved at this time. They waved their flags vigorously, shouted the names of the players on the field, and many of them also shouted slogans for the championship.
As the team's number one contributor, Lin Quan, who scored this goal, received the most cheers and applause.
Lin Quan himself was also very excited. He quickly ran to the sidelines and was about to celebrate when he saw Fabregas, who had made the precise long pass, running up to him.
Lin Quan suddenly had an idea and came up with a very interesting celebration move.
So he pretended to hold a fishing rod in his hand and made the action of swinging the rod.
Fabregas was stunned for a moment, then he reacted immediately, pretending to be a fish, moving forward on the ground towards Lin Quan, just like a big fish caught by a hook.
The teammates laughed and cooperated well, running over to pick up the big fish, Xiaofa, horizontally, showing the joy of their good harvest to the audience.
What's even funnier is that Ramos squatted down in front of everyone, pretending to have a camera in his hand, and helped everyone take a group photo.
The audience at the scene were stunned at first, not knowing what the Spaniards were up to.
But when they realized what was happening, almost the entire audience burst into laughter.
The Spanish team is really creative in celebrating the goal, which makes the fans who are used to seeing the conventional celebrations shine.
Many fans even want to watch it again, but if they want to watch it again, Spain needs to score another goal.
Not to mention the fans at the scene, the Spanish team's celebration quickly went viral on the Internet.
Many fans cut out this video, added various spoof music to it, and quickly spread it all over the social networking site.
"Haha, the Spanish team is so talented!"
"Who the hell came up with this celebration move? I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt!"
"The results are great, the games are fun to watch, and they're so creative. I love this team!"
“I really want to watch it again!”
"Hey, don't worry, we'll have a chance to show it off when we meet Brazil in the final. I hope Spain can come up with something new by then!"
"Spain, please!"
"Spain, please!"
"Brazil, please!"
"???"
"I understand what the above person meant. He said that only when Brazil lost the game can we enjoy such creative celebrations!"
"I see. Then the Brazilian team, please!"
"Brazil, please!"
…
On the social networking site, a big V, who is also a die-hard fan of the Brazilian team, felt that Italy was likely to be carried away after seeing the scores between Spain and Italy.
So he immediately launched a poll on his social media platform: In the Confederations Cup final, which team do you think will win the championship?
A: Brazil
B: Spain!
After initiating the vote, the big V felt that it was settled.
Brazil has a population of over 200 million, while Spain has only 40 million.
200 million VS 40 million, the advantage is on me, I will definitely win!
At the beginning, the voting column showed the support data for the two teams as he had expected, with fans supporting the Brazilian team far ahead of fans supporting Spain.
But things soon started to go wrong.
I don’t know what happened, but the number of people supporting the Spanish team to win suddenly skyrocketed.
Not only did they surpass Brazil's support rate, but they were also far ahead of them.
So much so that in the end, Brazil's support rate was almost eclipsed by Spain's taillights.
The big V looked depressed: Is the outside world really so optimistic about Spain and pessimistic about Brazil? …
After conceding two goals in a row from Spain, Italy was completely stunned.
They recalled the painful memories of being massacred by Spain in last year's European Cup final.
A feeling of frustration quickly spread within the team.
Prandelli, unwilling to fall behind, immediately made substitutions, with Giovinco and Aquilani coming on as substitutes.
Italy tried to step up its attack and equalize the score.
However, with Pirlo restricted, piling up forwards in the frontcourt will not solve Italy's weak offensive situation.
On the contrary, after replacing Marchisio and other defenders, their defensive ability declined a lot.
In the 86th minute of the game, Spain launched a quick counterattack.
After Lin Quan broke into the penalty area, he selflessly passed the ball to his following teammate, and David Silva shot the ball into the Italian goal for the third time.
Spain leads Italy 3:0.
Including injury time, there were less than 10 minutes left in the game, and Spain, leading by three goals, had completely secured the victory.

After this goal was scored, the Italian side finally faced up to reality and knew that they could not reverse the score.
However, the Italians still could not accept the outcome of being shut out by Spain.
So in the final stages of the game they were still trying hard to attack.
In the second minute of injury time, a Spanish player committed a foul outside the penalty area, giving Italy a good free kick opportunity.
Pirlo stood at the penalty spot, took a look at the Spanish wall, and chose to shoot directly.
The quality of this free kick was extremely high. The ball flew over the human wall and suddenly fell in the air.
The erratic trajectory affected Casillas' judgment and he failed to catch the ball.
Before the end of the game, Italy finally saved a little face through veteran Pirlo's goal.
Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
The Spanish players high-fived to celebrate their successful advancement to the semi-finals and into the finals.
On the Italian side, expressions of frustration could be seen on the faces of almost all the players.
He lost to the same opponent twice in a row within a year, and both times he was beaten to the point where he had almost no chance to fight back.
This made the Italians involuntarily develop a fear of Spain, and they never wanted to encounter Spain again!
Pirlo was quite open-minded about the loss, as he had already led his team to win the World Cup trophy.
So there was no frustrated expression on his face. Instead, he comforted his teammates one by one.
Just at this time, I saw the Spanish team walking around the field, thanking the fans, and preparing to leave.
So Pirlo took off his jersey and walked towards the opposing crowd, ready to exchange jerseys with his opponents.
The Spanish players saw Pirlo coming over and looked at Xavi.
The two players have the same position and are both midfield commanders of their respective teams. Pirlo probably came to exchange jerseys with Xavi.
Xavi thought so too, so he was about to go up and say hello to Pirlo.
"Sorry Javier, I'm here to see Lin!"
Pirlo smiled and apologized to Xavi, then went straight to Lin Quan:
"Boy, would you like to exchange jerseys with me?"
Lin Quan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Pirlo to come to him specifically to exchange jerseys.
The players from both teams looked over curiously.
Pirlo seems to think highly of that kid! He actually went to him in person to exchange jerseys!
After Lin Quan reacted, he quickly took off his jersey and handed it to Pirlo.
"You are a good candidate for playing in the midfield. It would be a shame if you don't play in the midfield!"
After Pirlo got his jersey, he hugged Lin Quan and patted him on the back.
Lin Quan still played the role of a frontcourt free man in this game and played in many positions.
His performance in the midfield position caught Pirlo's attention.
That's why I make such an exclamation.
"Thank you for your compliment. The responsibilities of a midfielder don't necessarily have to be limited to the midfield position!"
Lin Quan responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
In the future, there will be a constant stream of talented coaches in the football world.
Players' positions on the field are not fixed.
Just like the once popular classic attacking midfielder has almost disappeared.
The organizing midfielder may also disappear, and at that time, passers with organizing ability may appear in the positions of full-back and central defender.
Pirlo nodded and did not continue discussing this topic with Lin Quan, but went to find Xavi to reminisce about the past.
Both of them are top midfield masters and are not young anymore.
So when we meet on the field, we all have a feeling of mutual appreciation.
Given their current ages, they will probably fade out of the top five leagues after next year's World Cup.
So for both of them, this match may be their last match in the national team.
…
After Spain eliminated Italy, the most anticipated plot of this Confederations Cup finally took place!
The host five-star Brazil faces former world champion Spain!
On one side is Brazil, which has won the most World Cup titles so far.
On one side is the last World Cup champion, Spain, currently ranked first by FIFA!
Their powerful collision also represents the collision between European football and South American football.
At the same time, the two supernovas will also face off on the final stage to determine who is better! As a result, more than 80,000 tickets have already been sold out before the game even started.
The Brazilians, playing at home, hope to see their team win the trophy at home, which would be a good start for next year's World Cup.
Spanish fans hope that the team can win the Confederations Cup, complete the Grand Slam of various major competitions, and completely establish the dynasty of the Spanish team! Before the game, the famous players of both countries stood up and expressed their support for their respective teams.
Brazilian stars such as Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho have expressed optimism that Brazil will win the championship, believing that the young men on the Brazilian team can perform miracles on their home turf and overthrow the powerful matador team.
Raul, Hierro and others said that the invincible Spanish warship will knock down all opponents! No matter Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, or Raul Hierro.
Their status is a little bit smaller.
Of course, this kind of prediction would only be weighty if the two greatest football stars of today came forward to make it.
Spain found Maradona.
Maradona is an Argentine, so naturally he doesn't like to see Brazilians being proud.
In addition, Spain was indeed stronger, so Maradona expressed his support for Spain and believed that Spain could win the championship.
When the Brazilians saw that the Spaniards had invited the football king Maradona, they all looked bitter.
Although they also have a football king, they dare not invite him!
The Brazilians didn't dare ask Pele to take action.
But Pele couldn't sit still: "I think Brazil will win the championship at home!"
