Chapter 292: Spain's strength once again terrifies the world!
Bravo also discovered Lin Quan's intention, but he had no choice.
If he continues to stay in front of the goal, Lin Quan will get closer and closer to the goal.
Once the opponent shoots at that time, he will have very little time to react. Even if he reacts quickly and gets full marks for saves, it will be difficult for him to save a shot from such a close distance.
Therefore, he had no choice but to attack.
However, his attack fell completely into Lin Quan's trap.
In a one-on-one duel, he has never been afraid of anyone.
Bravo lowered his center of gravity, spread his arms, expanded his defensive area, and stared at the ball under Lin Quan's feet.
He is observing the timing to strike, and once he finds the right opportunity, he will strike without hesitation.
Because he was very close to the goal, Lin Quan began to slow down. He stepped out with his left foot and moved his body's center of gravity forward, as if he was preparing to transfer the ball from his right foot to his left foot.
The time is now!
Bravo seized the opportunity when the opponent's center of gravity changed, and pounced on the ball at Lin Quan's feet like a hungry tiger.
He was extremely agile, but Lin Quan's reaction was even faster.
As Bravo dived for the ball, he retracted his left foot and hit the ball with his right foot. The ball left the ground and was quickly kicked into the air by his right foot. The football flew over the head of Chilean goalkeeper Bravo and flew towards the empty goal of the Chilean team! The audience was in an uproar! Rainbow pass!
There are actually people who use such a gorgeous way of dribbling on a stage like the World Cup!
After Lin Quan passed Bravo, he caught up with the ball near the goal line.
After taking a look at the rolling football, Lin Quan did not make a finishing move. Instead, he watched it roll across the goal line. Then he opened his arms and celebrated by sticking to the grass like a dive bomber.
The Spanish players were also extremely excited. They rushed over one by one and dived to celebrate with Lin Quan on the sidelines.
The score on the field became 1:0!
Spain finally broke through the Chilean team's goal and smashed their iron defense!
Lin Quan's goal won applause from the whole audience. Except for the fans of the Chilean team, other fans at the scene stood up and applauded and cheered for Lin Quan.
Goals are not uncommon in the World Cup, but such a gorgeous goal is truly rare.
Especially since this goal was scored by a top star like Lin Quan, the viewing experience is maximized!
"Damn, is this Lin Huang? I thought it was the Brazilian team after seeing them change their jerseys!"
"Tsk tsk, this technique is very skilled!"
"The facts prove that it's not that Emperor Lin doesn't know how to use it, but that he doesn't bother to use it!"
Lin Quan didn't like to use all kinds of flashy techniques in the past, and his playing style was simple and unpretentious, so many fans felt that he didn't have the ability and his playing style was not as entertaining as that of Samba players such as Neymar and Ronaldinho.
Now, Lin Quan has proved with his actions that he knows all these things, but he just doesn't use them! "Pendulum pass, ox tail, rainbow pass, Emperor Lin is getting more and more fancy!"
"When you come to South America, how can you not do as the Romans do?"
"Haha, I usually only see Neymar using rainbow dribbling, but I've never seen him score a goal in this way. It seems that Lin Huang is still better!"
"Thinking about it carefully, I feel that the rainbow dribble is quite suitable for the situation just now!"
Online, Lin Quan's goal shocked many people! With Lin Quan's simple and unpretentious style of play, it was hard for everyone to imagine that he would use such a gorgeous trick to pass the ball.
Chile's goalkeeper Bravo did not expect that after being passed by Lin Quan in this way, his mentality was seriously affected and his self-confidence was severely hit.
After Spain finished celebrating, the first half of the game was over quickly.
Because the team scored a goal before the end of the first half, the Spanish players were in a very relaxed mental state and returned to the locker room talking and laughing.
The Chilean side was in a gloomy mood. The worst thing about parking the bus is losing the ball first.
Once they lose the ball, it means their tactics have failed, and they must adjust their tactics and can no longer use the iron bucket formation.
However, given the gap in strength between the two teams, even if they changed their tactics, how confident were they that they would be able to break through Spain's goal?
Chile's head coach Jorge racked his brains but couldn't come up with any good solution.
So we had to line up a very standard 433 formation and try to attack in the second half.
With Sanchez, they might have a chance to equalize the score, after all, the opponent has one less player.
Just because the Chilean team doesn’t make adjustments doesn’t mean that Spain won’t make adjustments!
In the first half, they were disgusted by the opponent's iron bucket formation. Now it was their turn to play defensive counterattacks to disgust the Chileans! After the start of the second half, the Chilean team was stunned when they saw Spain retreating to play defensive counterattacks.
No way? You are the world champions, is it really okay to retreat and park the bus?
You don’t even care about your face anymore!
The Spanish didn't care. We were one player short. What's wrong with parking the bus? If we still had 11 players on the field, we would definitely kill you with passing and controlling the ball!
The Spanish bus has been parked and things cannot be changed.
The Chileans could only turn from defense to offense.
Seeing this scene, both the audience who came to the scene and the fans who were watching the game in front of the TV were amazed.
The expressions on their faces were all very strange! The team that had been attacking relentlessly in the first half retreated and played a defensive counterattack in the second half.
The team that played defensively in the first half pushed forward and attacked in the second half.
Because the two sides exchanged venues, almost all attacks took place in one half of the court.
This gave the fans an illusion that if they ignored the difference in jerseys between the two teams, they felt as if they had watched the second half of the game. The sense of déjà vu was too strong! Of course, there were also some differences.
Facing the Spanish defense, the Chilean team was completely helpless.
They attacked fiercely for 20 minutes but gained nothing and had few threatening shots.
On the other hand, Spain's counterattack was so devastating!
In the 61st minute, Spain intercepted the ball in the backcourt and quickly moved it forward.
The ball was passed three times by Lin Quan, Iniesta and Silva, and in just a few seconds, it flew into the Chilean team's penalty area.
Although the Chilean defender tried his best to defend Lin Quan, Lin Quan passed the ball to Iniesta who was following up with his heel.
The latter, with no one guarding him, shot the ball past Bravo again and helped the team change the score to 2:0. Bravo failed to continue his magical performance in the first half this time. His form seemed to be ruined by Lin Quan's rainbow shot.
Iniesta's goal almost killed the suspense of the game. With more than 30 minutes left in the game, it was extremely difficult for the Chilean team to catch up with two goals.
Sanchez is a good player, but he can't lead the team to challenge the entire Bull Fighting Army.
Especially after the opponent tightened their defense, the space left for him to move was really too small.
In addition, many of his club teammates are in the Spanish lineup. These people are very familiar with his playing style. Once they take him seriously, they will naturally restrict him.
As a result, the Chilean team had the advantage but could not score. They had possession of the ball and many shots but could not score a goal.
On the other hand, for Spain, once their counterattacks became threatening, they could easily turn them into goals.
In the 78th minute, Alonso made a long pass to the wing.
David Silva passed the ball to Iniesta, who then completed a two-on-one match with Linquan. After breaking into the penalty area, he shot with his right foot from 12 yards out, but the defender desperately blocked the ball out of the bottom line. Chile escaped! However, the fate of losing the ball could not be changed.
Spain took a tactical corner kick, Xavi passed the ball to Lin Quan, who dribbled past the player who was trying to steal the ball before passing it into the penalty area.
Ramos jumped high, overpowered the opponent's defender Mena, and headed the ball into the goal.
3:0!
Spain is going crazy!
After scoring the goal, Ramos was so excited that he subconsciously prepared to take off his jersey to celebrate.
For a defender, any way of celebrating is appropriate when scoring a goal on a stage like the World Cup.
But at the last moment, he calmed down.
He received a yellow card in the last game against the Netherlands. According to the rules of the World Cup, if he receives another card in this game, he will be suspended for the next game due to accumulated yellow cards.
Who's next?
Australia?
Well, let’s take off our clothes to celebrate!
Ramos paused for a moment and then took off his jersey.
The referee naturally showed him a yellow card without hesitation, but looking at Ramos's expression, he didn't care about it at all.
A yellow card is a yellow card. It’s a good opportunity to clear all the yellow cards against Australia.
In this way, in the knockout stage, you can use your strengths without any scruples! "Sergio, did you take the initiative to ask for a yellow card just now?"

Lin Quan saw what Ramos did and asked curiously.
"Hey, no, I'm just too excited and can't control myself!"
Ramos smiled cunningly. Of course he would not admit such a thing voluntarily.
Lin Quan responded with an expression that said "I understand". Although shuffling the cards may not sound good if it gets out, it is a reasonable use of the rules. In the league and the Champions League, there are quite a few players who do this.
The suspension for accumulated yellow cards in the World Cup is stricter than that in the league and the Champions League. In the Premier League, a suspension for one game is required for accumulating five yellow cards, and in the Champions League, three yellow cards are required, but in the World Cup, a suspension is required for accumulating two yellow cards.
And until the semi-finals, these yellow cards, including those in the group stage, will remain on the players' shoulders.
It is not so difficult for frontcourt players like Lin Quan, as the defensive tasks they undertake are not heavy and the probability of receiving a card is not high.
But for defensive players like Ramos, the probability of them getting a card is still very high.
Ramos happens to be the backbone of Spain's defense. If he is suspended in a crucial match, it will have a great impact on Spain's defense.
After falling behind by 3 goals, the morale of the Chilean team completely collapsed.
In the final stage of the game, Sanchez was still attacking desperately, trying to change his fate.
But the other players no longer had any desire to fight. They just wanted to finish the damn game as soon as possible, and then prepare early to fight the Dutch team to the end! The Chilean team had no desire to fight, and the Spanish team did not want to waste their energy.
However, the substitutes who came on were very active in attack.
In the 80th minute, Mata tried a long shot outside the penalty area.
The quality of the shot was very high, but unfortunately the player was unlucky and the ball hit the post and went wide.
In the 84th minute, Atletico Madrid player Koke, who replaced Xavi, also attempted a long shot.
Bravo seemed to recover in the final stages of the game. He flew to save the ball and prevented Spain from scoring the fourth goal of the game.
Losing three goals is a crushing defeat, and losing four goals is a bloodbath!
Chile does not want to be beaten badly, especially when they are competing with the Netherlands for the second place in the group. Every extra goal they concede in this game may reduce their appearance by one point.
At the end of the game, Spain took the last corner kick.
Lin Quan's corner kick was sent into the penalty area but was cleared by the Chilean defenders with headers. The ball flew out of the penalty area and was still under the control of the Spanish team.
After controlling the landing point from the outside, Mata made another cross and the ball returned to the Chilean team's penalty area.
Ramos jumped up with all his might and his header hit the post.
Before he could sigh in frustration, the ball bounced out, hit his leg and flew into the goal.
Seeing the football rolling in the net, Ramos, who scored the goal, was stunned.
Chile's goalkeeper Bravo was also stunned! The players of both teams, including the fans at the scene, were all stunned! Is this possible? No one expected that the player who scored the most goals in this game was actually a defender! With the two goals in this game, Ramos once rushed to the top of the scorer list, ranking third! The only two who scored more goals than him were Lin Quan, who scored 4 goals, and Thomas Muller, who scored 3 goals!
Ramos has always been known as a defender with a sword, and this World Cup has basically confirmed this title for him.
After all, he is a defender, but he has scored more goals than the forwards of most teams. Are you convinced?
Although the Chilean team did not want to be massacred, they could not escape the fate of being massacred in the end.
After being swept 4-0 by Spain, their goal difference became negative two.
Although the goal difference has become negative, their goal difference is still higher than that of the Netherlands team.
After all, although both teams lost to Spain by 4 goals, the Netherlands only scored 1 goal against Australia, while Chile scored 2.
This means that in the final round of the game, Chile was one goal ahead of the Netherlands in goal difference.
Therefore, for the Chilean team, a draw in the last game will allow them to qualify.
However, history has proven countless times that once a team is able to qualify by a draw, it is very likely that they will be eliminated.
The national football team of a certain civilized country in the East is very proud!
Although the loss was ugly, the Chilean players were well prepared for it.
So, after the game, many players found the Spanish stars and wanted to exchange jerseys with them.
It was not easy for the Spanish players to refuse. After all, they had beaten the opponent so badly, there was no way they could refuse the other party's request.
Many people came to Lin Quan to exchange jerseys, but one of them surprised him - Chile's No. 1 player, Bravo! "Can we exchange jerseys?"
Bravo seemed to be in a bad mood after losing the game. It was unknown whether he asked Lin Quan to exchange jerseys because he thought the opponent played well in this game, or he wanted to take the opponent's jersey back and remember the humiliation of this game forever, so as to motivate himself to continue to improve? Although Lin Quan was very surprised, he still nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
The two quickly exchanged jerseys.
Bravo said politely: "Thank you, you played very well, keep it up!"
Lin Quan also nodded and said, "You too, keep working hard and beat the Dutch!"
After receiving Lin Quan's blessing, Bravo finally had a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, I won't let them score easily!"
Bravo clenched his fist and punched hard.
Lin Quan mourned for the Dutch team for a second in his heart. If this guy went crazy, it would be really not easy to break through the goal he was guarding.
The Netherlands is indeed a strong team, but after being beaten 5:1 by Spain at the start, their mentality seems to have collapsed. They almost lost against Australia, a weak team. If they continue to face Chile in this state, it is really hard to say who will win! But these have nothing to do with Spain!
Bosque announced a holiday directly after the game and announced the starting lineup for the next game in advance.
This means that before the knockout stage begins, the main players who are not included in the starting lineup for the next game can have a good rest!
There was thunderous cheers in the locker room. Because of this "wise" decision, Bosque was thrown high into the sky by the players, which scared the old coach.
The floor of the locker room is hard, unlike the grass on the court. If these guys slipped, he would fall half to death! ...
Spain, which defeated its opponents in two consecutive games, showed the world their terrifying strength.
Especially in the match against Chile, even though the team had one player sent off early on, they still achieved a resounding victory. This strong dominance made the other participating teams feel a little suffocated!
So, after the game, Spain's odds of winning the championship soared again.
The latest updated odds of Spain winning the championship by the bookmaker are 1.95, which means that the outside world believes that their odds of winning the championship are already over 50%! (End of this chapter)
