Chapter 313 An 18-year-old World Cup champion? Why not!
When the final whistle sounded, the Spanish players hugged each other excitedly, and the players on the bench, including some coaches, rushed out excitedly.
He ran into the stadium and celebrated wildly with the players on the field! After four years, they made it to the World Cup final again.
The Spaniards have a good chance of once again lifting the World Cup, the symbol of football's highest glory.
How could this not make people excited and crazy? Bosque was extremely excited, but in order to maintain his image as a famous coach, he tried hard to control his excitement, pretended to be calm, and stood up from the coaching seat.
After tidying up his clothes, he took the initiative to walk towards the coaching seat of the Argentine team.
“You have a great team and it was a great game!”
Bosque took the initiative to shake hands with Argentina's head coach Sabella and said a few polite words.
"Thank you, and I wish you good luck in the next game!"
As a loser, Sabella's mood was far less good than Bosque's.
He just said it politely and had no intention of chatting more with Bosque.
After the loss, Savilia's position as coach was basically over.
Even if the Argentine Football Association and fans do not hold him accountable, he will voluntarily resign and will not continue to coach Argentina.
Although this World Cup was not held in Argentina, Brazil is right next to Argentina. After the Brazilian team was eliminated, this place can be regarded as half of their home court.
In addition, Argentina's paper strength in this World Cup is very strong. Not only does it have superstars like Messi, but it also has a large number of players playing for the top teams in the five major leagues.
But even so, they still failed to complete their mission and fell in the knockout stage again.
Such a result will probably disappoint countless Argentine fans.
After this World Cup, Sabella has a full understanding of his own strength.
He really does not have the ability to coach a star-studded team like Argentina, which is full of big-name players.
So he decided to resign and get out of this fire pit.
Bosque felt a little sympathetic towards the other party. Compared with Savilia, his own position as coach could be said to be very stable.
Since he took office, Spain has won one World Cup, one European Cup and one Confederations Cup.
If he can successfully defend the World Cup this time, he will undoubtedly become the most successful head coach in the history of the Spanish team.
With these brilliant coaching achievements, his position in the national team is very stable. Unless he resigns voluntarily, no one can remove him from the position.
As for asking Bosque to resign on his own initiative, this is of course impossible.
The old coach is very satisfied with his current job, although after this World Cup, many older players will gradually fade out of the national team's lineup.
But with Lin Quan here, there are still so many outstanding talents in the La Liga team.
Bosque is confident that he can lead Spain to continue its current glory! Compared with the excited Spanish players, the Argentine players are generally frustrated.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all the Argentine players were dejected.
Some players knelt on the grass, as if all the strength had been drained from their bodies, sobbing with their shoulders heaving.
As the soul of the Argentine team, Messi did not shed tears.
He stood there with his hands on his hips, head down and looking at the lawn like a statue, not moving for a long time.
This lonely back figure made countless Messi fans feel heartbroken.
Even some neutral fans felt sorry for this scene.
"Well, come to think of it, this is Messi's third World Cup trip, right?"
"Yes, starting from the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Messi has participated in three World Cups so far."
"Eight years ago, he was only 19 years old and a rookie on the field. Now, he is the absolute core of Argentina, but the result of the game seems to be frozen. There has not been much change. Argentina's World Cup journey has ended again."
In the previous two World Cups, Argentina met Germany in the quarter-finals and fell to the opponent.
This time, they did not meet the German team, so they successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
But in the semi-finals, they met the stronger Spanish team.
Argentina ultimately failed to make it to the final and fell in the semi-finals.
Although their ranking has improved slightly compared to four years ago.
But for the Argentine team aiming to win the championship, there is no difference between losing in the quarterfinals and losing in the semifinals, both are failures.
This result made Messi very disappointed, and the feeling of failure made him feel extremely painful.
Born in 1987, he is 27 years old this year.
He will be 31 at the next World Cup.
There is not much time left for Messi.
If he fails to win the World Cup during his peak period, he will have no confidence that he can lead the team to achieve this goal four or even eight years later.
Moreover, his opponent, Spain's Lin Quan, is too young.
Four years later, the other party was just 22 years old, and eight years later, the other party was 26 years old.
In the foreseeable future, as long as there are no serious injuries, the opponent's strength will only get stronger.
As he gets older, Messi's condition will gradually decline.
Messi was not very confident that he could defeat the inexperienced Lin Quan this time. Four years later, when the opponent became even stronger, would he still be able to defeat him?
If he fails to win the next World Cup, he may never win the World Cup again.
…
At the press conference after the game, Argentina coach Sabella took the responsibility for the failure on himself when interviewed by reporters, and publicly announced his resignation as head coach of the national team.
Someone has to take responsibility for the failure, either the coach or the players.
Messi scored two goals in this game and was already risking his life to carry the team.
Although there are still many fans criticizing him for being a superstar but failing to save the team.
But such voices are only in the minority after all. Compared with Messi's performance, the outside world is more likely to believe that Argentina was completely defeated by Spain on the tactical level.
Bosque's substitutions were quick, accurate and ruthless, and he dared to risk his life. The substitutions achieved immediate results.
On the other hand, Savilia's tactics were not decisive enough. He was always a step behind in on-the-spot adjustments and the effect of his adjustments was very poor. He was almost completely defeated by Bosque next door.
With such an obvious gap here, even if Savilia does not resign voluntarily, he will most likely be fired.
In that case, why not be more decent?
Human beings do not share the same sorrows and joys. Compared to the frustrated Savilia, Bosque, who walked out with a rosy face, seemed to be in a good mood.
Brazil is really a Feng Shui treasure land for Spain!
This time last year, they successfully lifted the Confederations Cup here.
And this year, they have the opportunity to win the second World Cup in team history.
In a good mood, Bosque made a direct statement about the championship trophy:
"We came here to defend our title!"
"The German team is very strong, but we are stronger. I believe the final victory will definitely belong to us!"
Bosque's declaration of victory won strong support from countless Spanish fans, but also successfully angered the German players.
Gotze said on social media:
"The Spanish have been going too smoothly before and have become ignorant of their own limitations. When we reach the final, we will not hesitate to let them have a taste of what it's like to be crushed by the German chariot!"
Boateng also posted a statement:
"Haha, we beat the Brazilians 7:1. I'm afraid the Spanish also want to have a taste of being slaughtered!"
The German players have all gone out to fight, so it is impossible for the Spanish players to sit back and watch.
Pique, who loves to be in the spotlight, was the first to speak out:
"The Germans seem to have forgotten who eliminated the German team four years ago, and have also forgotten the fear of being dominated by our passing and controlling football!"
Ramos added insult to injury:
"Haha, I think they shouldn't have forgotten, otherwise Bayern and the German team wouldn't have specially learned our passing and controlling football!"
Fabregas said mercilessly: "They shamelessly came to Spain to steal our skills, and even dared to say that we, as teachers, are afraid of their students. This is simply hilarious!"
The Spanish players seized on the fact that the German team started to use passing and controlling football, and even played a few games without a striker, and made a fuss about it, mocking the other side for imitating others.
Faced with such accusations, the German players were very angry, but they had no way to refute it.
After all, the German team is indeed learning passing and controlling football, which was pioneered by the Spanish.
So they made a fuss about the German team's bloodbath of the Brazilian team to prove that the German team is stronger than the Spanish team.
Both Germany and Spain have defeated the host Brazil before, so Brazil has tragically become a reference for fans of both teams to measure the fighting effectiveness of the two teams.
Judging from the score, Germany scored 3 more goals than Spain, and it seems that they are stronger.
But the two teams faced a very different lineup from Brazil!
The Brazil team that Spain faced in the Confederations Cup final was a complete Brazil, while the Brazil team that Germany faced was an incomplete lineup.
"The German team can only bully the short-handed Brazilian team. If the two main players of the Brazilian team were not injured, it is still uncertain who will win the semi-finals!"
"I am a Brazilian fan. I support Spain this time. We are convinced when we lose to Spain, but we are not convinced at all when we lose to Germany. If they have the guts, they can wait for Neymar to recover from his injury and Thiago Silva to return to the team before playing a game with us. Do the Germans dare?"
German fans naturally wouldn't take this bait, they consoled themselves, who would bother to argue with the defeated team! As a member of the Spanish team, Lin Quan also expressed his opinion on social media: "World Cup champion? Why not? I can't wait to lift the World Cup trophy on the stage of the final!"
No one can refuse the World Cup, especially when there is only one game left! If Lin Quan can really win the cup, he will become the youngest champion in the history of the Spanish team - an 18-year-old world champion! After Lin Quan expressed his opinion, several players from the German team also stood up to express their opinions one after another.

However, their status was a little lower, and the sensation they caused was far less than the impact caused by Lin Quan’s declaration.
So in the war of words before the game, the Germans did not gain much advantage.
But the war between the two sides is obviously not limited to the Internet.
A curious reporter took Bosque's words to interview Germany's head coach Löw and asked for his opinion.
"I have full confidence in my team. We are not here to be anyone's stepping stone. We are here to win the championship!"
It has come to the final moment of the championship race, so Löw naturally cannot give in.
Not only did he not admit defeat, he even pointed out the weakness of the Spanish lineup, which was its lack of toughness, and vowed that the German team would rely on their strong physique and tenacious style to severely defeat the Spanish team, leaving the Spaniards with an unforgettable painful memory!
The German players give the impression of being tall and good at fighting and confrontation.
German teams generally have a strong impact. When playing against them, you must not let them get into a good position. Once they get into a good position, it will be impossible to stop them from scoring goals. If you are not careful, you can easily create a tragedy! Löw's words were heard by Bosque, making him feel a little doubtful.
Didn't they say that the German team had changed to a technical style? What did Löw mean by that? Was the German team going to go back to the old ways? To be honest, teams that play technical football are really afraid of teams that play physical football.
The previous German team not only had physically strong players, but also had strong fighting spirit and courage to fight, making it a very difficult team.
Although their skills are not as fancy as those of Spanish players, they are not crude, and some simple cooperation can produce very good results.
Bosque attached great importance to this and immediately worked with the coaching staff to study and summarize the German team's past technical and tactical play and analyze the possibility of them playing traditional German football.
Germany's traditional advantage is simple and clear, they have been playing that way for many years.
Germany is very good at launching attacks from the flanks, as can be seen from their league leaders Bayern.
However, the German team's wing attack is a little different from the current popular wing attack.
After their wing players launch an attack from the wing, they will avoid the densely defended area in the middle. Unlike Spain's strikerless formation, they will not cut in from the wing to complete cooperation or shoot. Instead, they will cross the ball from the bottom, and the center forward in front of the goal and other high points in the team will threaten the opponent's goal with headers.
This move is very retro, but very effective. The German team's strikers are very good at heading the ball, especially Klose. Although he is not very tall, his heading ability is really strong. When the football flies in front of him, he can always send it into the goal in various reasonable ways.
In addition to wing attacks, the German team is also very good at long shots and set pieces.
In the past, German midfielders, represented by Ballack, generally had a good long shot and were very strong. Once their long shots hit the goal frame, it was difficult for the goalkeeper to save them.
On defense, the German team will take advantage of their physical fitness and use zone pressing to limit the opponent's offense.
The German players are full of energy, run actively and have strong tactical execution.
This makes it easy for the offensive star to fall into their double-team, being the focus of their attention throughout the game, and then performing poorly.
When facing Argentina several times, the German team used this tactic to successfully limit Messi and prevent him from getting many good opportunities.
It can be predicted that the Germans will use this trick against Lin Quan in the final.
Bosque was a little worried about this.
If Lin Quan was frozen by the opponent, the Spanish offensive machine would probably malfunction.
In addition, Germany's long pass transfer also needs attention.
According to the opponent's defensive position, they will choose to transfer the ball to areas with weak defense on a large scale, thereby changing the rhythm of the game and making up for the disadvantage that their own tactical coordination is simple and they cannot play the gorgeous back-passing and passing coordination like Spain.
This advantage, combined with their defensive counterattack tactics, often produces very good results.
Therefore, when facing the German team, never make mistakes when attacking.
Once the opponent seizes your mistake, you are likely to be counterattacked by the opponent with great threat.
German players play very calmly and have a good overall view. Kroos is such a player who is very good at observing the situation on the field and has a precise long pass.
In the previous few games of the German team, Kroos performed very well, which forced Bosque to be wary of him.
Because of the presence of high points in the penalty area and heavy gunners in the middle outside the penalty area, when defending against the German team's attack, multi-level three-dimensional defense is necessary.
However, can the current German team still use such traditional tactics?
Bosque expressed his doubts because the German team he saw now was very different from the traditional German team.
The German team, which adopts a technical style and passing and controlling tactics, is becoming more and more like the Spanish team, and less like the German team of the past.
This can be seen from the way Löw selected players.
In the German team's starting lineup, there are fewer strong and tenacious players, and more players with average physical confrontation ability but excellent footwork.
For example, Gotze, Ozil and Kroos.
These people's playing styles are very different from their predecessors, and they are completely technical in style.
Moreover, these people have been entrusted with important tasks by Löw, and there is no sign that he will overturn and reset the German team's tactics, especially on such an important stage as the World Cup final.
If he dares to mess around and finally loses the World Cup title, he will definitely be drowned in the saliva of the German fans when he returns to Germany! Without overthrowing and resetting his own tactical system, how can Loew rely on the excellent physical fitness of the German team to defeat Spain?
It's impossible!
So, Bosque was sure that the other party was throwing a smoke bomb!
Deliberately trying to confuse myself! In that case, then Bosque will also do the whole thing.
"Diego Costa's injury has recovered well, so we plan to arrange him and Lin Quan to play together in the final and implement a double striker tactic!"
Bosque took the initiative to announce the tactics he might adopt in the final, which immediately attracted the attention of countless fans and reporters.
Diego Costa was injured in the group match against the Netherlands, but he returned from injury in Spain's match against Costa Rica.
However, when facing Argentina, Bosque chose to keep him on the bench.
Not only was he not included in the starting lineup, he wasn't even given a chance to come on as a substitute.
This made the outside world very confused. Is Diego Costa a mascot in Bosque's mind? He was specially summoned but not sent on the field. Or, in Bosque's mind, Torres is a more suitable choice than Diego Costa?
Because of Bosque's hiding of Diego Costa, many conspiracy theories have emerged in the outside world.
Many fans believe that the reason why Bosque did not use Diego Costa was because his injury had not healed.
However, Bosque and the Spanish team chose to conceal his injury and not announce it to the public. The purpose was to confuse the opponent and make the German team make mistakes in judgment.
This conspiracy theory is very plausible and has been recognized by many fans.
After seeing these rumors, some German fans even ran to the German national team's training base and shouted to their own team, asking them not to be fooled.
And now, Bosque has publicly stated that he will arrange for Diego Costa to return in the final, and will let him play a double striker tactic with Lin Quan.
This made the fans generally feel suspicious, as previous games had proved that it was not suitable to put Lin Quan in the forward position.
He is more suitable to play as a free man in the frontcourt. If he is put in the front, he will not be able to exert his power.
So, the news released by Bosque is probably a smoke screen?
Ordinary fans may think so, but Germany's head coach Löw does not dare to draw such a conclusion so easily.
What if this is not a smokescreen but real? Diego Costa and Lin Quan had only played together in one match before, and he was injured in that match after playing only the first half.
Therefore, it is difficult for the outside world to evaluate what kind of chemical reaction will occur when he and Lin Quan appear on the court at the same time.
If by any chance the chemistry between these two is very good and their cooperation can achieve an effect where one plus one is greater than two, then the German team will be in trouble!
Considering that both of them are super shooters with extremely high goal efficiency, if Diego Costa is not injured, Bosque will most likely use him.
Therefore, Löw would rather believe it exists than believe it does not.
He chose to believe Bosque's smoke bomb!
