Chapter 402: 20 minutes and 30 seconds, the Chinese national football team is about to have another tragedy
Although judging from the momentum at the beginning of the game, the Spanish team was completely defeated by the Chinese national team.
But when the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the situation was completely different.
In this game, most of the starting lineup of Spain were newcomers, while the Chinese national team fielded its strongest lineup.
This has created a glimmer of hope in the hearts of many Chinese national football fans: they do not think that the Chinese national team is a match for the Spanish team in its heyday, but facing a Spanish team where most of the lineup is composed of substitutes, the Chinese national team may have some chances.
After all, a football is round!
On the field, the performance of the Chinese national football team seems to encourage them to make more optimistic speculations.
After the opening, Spain immediately launched an attack on the Chinese national team.
However, I don’t know whether it is because these young players have an unstable mentality or they lack tacit understanding with each other.
The few attacks they launched at the beginning failed to pose a threat, and they even made a mistake, which almost allowed the Chinese national team to launch a counterattack.
During these few minutes, the best performing players on the field were not Spanish players, but the captain and midfield core of the Chinese national team, Zheng Zhi, and right winger Sun Ke.
Zheng Zhi is one of the few players who can hold the ball and even pass it under the pressure of Spanish players.
When facing pressure, other Chinese players simply couldn't get the ball and were easily intercepted.
The Chinese national team almost launched a counterattack in the first half. It was initiated by Zheng Zhi in the midfield and found Sun Ke on the wing. The latter used his speed to break through on the wing and at one point attacked within the 30-meter area of Spain.
However, Sun Ke's physique is relatively thin and his footwork is not very delicate. After being intercepted by the Spanish midfielder, he quickly lost the ball.
Although this counterattack failed to pose a threat and even the shot was not completed.
However, the Chinese football fans who came to the scene were still dazzled and their morale was boosted.
"Come on, Chinese team!"
"Good job Sun Ke!"
"Just do them like this!"
Although many fans come to watch the Spanish stars, as Chinese, how could they not support their national team?
Although the Chinese national football team is always criticized by people and is often scolded by them, countless fans have even demanded the disbandment of the national football team.
But as long as they show even the slightest improvement, it will be enough to comfort these fans who have been abused thousands of times.
They do not expect the Chinese national team to defeat the powerful Spain, but just like what happened just now, when facing a strong enemy, the Chinese national team dared to show its sword and could launch one or two threatening attacks, they would be satisfied.
"Increase the pressure in the middle and keep a close eye on the opponent's number 10. He is the only one in the opponent's midfield who can hold the ball!"
Seeing that the Chinese national team was gaining momentum, the Spanish captain Ramos immediately stood up and gave instructions to these young players.
Although the opponent was weak, Spain still did some homework on the Chinese national football team before the game.
According to the information they collected, the only players in the Chinese national football team who are truly threatening are Zheng Zhi and a few others.
Zheng Zhi is indeed quite capable and he once played in the Premier League.
But he is too old. Xavi, who is the same age as Zheng Zhi, has already retired from the Spanish national team. However, Zheng Zhi is irreplaceable in the Chinese national team and no one can replace him.
This shows the extent to which the Chinese national football team’s talent pool is declining.
Although Spain's lineup is young, the players' skills are not bad.
The players who can be selected for the Spanish national football team are almost all the main players of major teams.
Under their pressing, it was difficult for Zheng Zhi to get enough space and time to handle the ball as before. The Chinese national team's midfield quickly lost control and could no longer hold the ball. The ball was firmly in the hands of Spain.
The consequences of losing the midfield were very serious. The Spanish formation began to press forward and besieged the Chinese national team in their own half.
Perrin has stood up, staring at the court intently.
Spain's offensive strength is evident to the whole world. Even though they only sent a few main players to play today, this terrifying offensive power is still not something Asian teams can withstand.
Although he had already arranged various free-for-all tactics in advance, he had no idea whether these tactics could withstand Spain's fierce attack, so he had to worry about his players.
Seeing the Chinese national football team being besieged, the fans at the scene couldn't help but start to feel worried.
Spain launched a wave of attack, and Morata, Isco and others continued to get opportunities to shoot.
The Chinese national football team's goal was in a state of panic, with every tree and grass looking like an enemy.
There was a danger of being breached at any time! Their worries were soon realized.
In the 9th minute, Lin Quan made a straight pass in the frontcourt, Morata squeezed into the penalty area, carried the defender and shot, blasting open the goal of the Chinese national team.
The coordination of the Spanish team in this goal was not complicated or exquisite.
The Chinese national team's defense line only revealed a small gap, which was seized by Lin Quan who completed the fatal pass.
Morata happened to see this loophole and started running before Lin Quan passed the ball, and received Lin Quan's pass just in time.
Although Morata's shooting skills have been criticized, compared with top shooters such as Lin Quan and Diego Costa, his shooting skills are not stable enough and he often misses opportunities.
But when facing opponents like the Chinese national team and goalkeepers like Wang Dalei who are ubiquitous in Europe, he is still full of confidence.
With full confidence, Morata's shot not only did not miss, but was also very tricky, forming a sharp contrast with the unbearable shooting skills of the Chinese national football players, which opened the eyes of the Chinese fans who came to the scene:
Is this the strength of the world's top striker? Too strong!
When defending just now, Feng Xiaoting couldn't stop him at all. He rushed into the penalty area like a tank and completed a burst shot.
This kind of forward made them feel like they were hit by a dimensionality reduction attack.
There are many foreign players in the Chinese Super League, but I feel that no one’s strength can reach Morata’s level.
Even the foreign players of Evergrande were not qualified at all! Then they thought that Morata was just a backup striker for Spain.
In the absence of Diego Costa, he couldn't even start and could only sit on the bench and watch the water dispenser.
Spain's substitute forwards beat all their foreign players in seconds. This gap makes people feel suffocated! At this moment, the fans of the Chinese national football team really realized the gap between the two teams.
This gap in absolute strength cannot be bridged by fighting spirit or willpower.
…
After scoring the goal, Morata was very excited. He ran to the sidelines and slid to celebrate. He also did not forget to express his gratitude to Lin Quan who assisted him.
Compared to the excited Morata, Lin Quan seemed much calmer.
It was just a goal against the Chinese national team, there's nothing to be happy about.
As a time traveler, he knows the true strength of the Chinese national football team better than anyone else.
Although the Chinese national football team is currently ranked around 70th in the world, their actual combat power is actually lower than their ranking.
Even within Asia, the Chinese national football team can only be considered a second-rate team.
Not to mention competing with Asia's top-notch teams like Japan, South Korea and O'Neal, the Chinese national football team's chances of winning are not high when facing second-rate Asian teams like Saudi Arabia, Syria and Uzbekistan.
Even when facing third-rate teams like Thailand and Iraq, the Chinese national football team can still surprise you and cause a tragedy or something.
There is a saying that goes, when it comes to disappointing people, the Chinese national football team never disappoints.
Lin Quan deeply realized this after playing against the Chinese national football team for ten minutes.
Although the Chinese national team has a low ball possession rate, the ball is at their feet for very little time.
But even during this short period of ball possession, the Chinese national team players seemed to have encountered a hot potato.
Almost no one dared to take the ball. They all wanted to pass the ball immediately for fear that it would be intercepted under their feet.
Occasionally we encountered a few players who dared to take the ball, but their skills did not support them to do anything with the ball. Facing the pressure from the Spanish players, the ball was lost within a few seconds.
After conceding the goal, Lin Quan could even hear the angry scolding from the fans in the stands.
The fans were scolding the players who lost the ball, believing that they were too sticky to the ball, which led to the loss and put the team in danger.
This statement is actually both right and wrong. Indeed, the Chinese national football players lost the ball in the backcourt, which is too dangerous.
After Spain completes the steal, they can immediately pose a threat to the Chinese national team's goal and may even score a goal.

However, the Chinese national team's formation was severely compressed. Unless they blindly kicked the ball forward, their ball would not be able to cross half court.
If they can't even get through half court, what difference does it make where they lose the ball? For the Spanish team, it's just a matter of passing the ball one more time.
The game continued and Spain's attack continued, even more ferocious than before.
Although the Chinese national team tried their best to defend, they could not hold the ball and could not launch a threatening attack, so the Spanish goalkeeper almost crossed the half court to join the attack.
This put them under increasing defensive pressure, and the players felt the ball under their feet was getting hotter and hotter.
In the 15th minute, Isco broke through and passed the ball. Morata's shot was saved by Wang Dalei, and Nolito followed up and scored the goal.
Spain 2:0 China.
This score between Spain and China was not surprising, but the fact that China lost two goals in six minutes made the players and fans at the scene feel a little nervous.
Will there be a tragedy today? They thought of the match two years ago when the Chinese national football team lost 1:5 to the Thai team.
In that game, the Chinese national team was two goals behind in the first half. Although they made up one goal with a penalty kick, the opponent scored three goals in the second half, giving the Chinese national team a crushing defeat and nailing them to the pillar of shame.
Today, they face a stronger opponent than two years ago. Doesn’t that mean that the score will be even more exaggerated?
"Today is definitely going to be a tragedy!"
"Oh, why pick a fight with Spain when there are so many other people to fight with? Isn't this courting death?"
"Didn't the Football Association say that we should play against the world's top teams in order to improve our own level?"
"Damn! Improving your own level? Improving by getting beaten?"
"That's right, didn't you see it? Our players couldn't even hold the ball, and couldn't organize an effective attack. It was useless to park the bus when defending. We conceded two goals in just 15 minutes. I don't even dare to think about what the score will be after the 90 minutes!"
"Alas, this is the result of Emperor Lin showing mercy to his men. From the start till now, Emperor Lin has been passing the ball and hasn't even taken a single shot!"
After being reminded of this, everyone realized that Lin Quan played very well as a team in this game. He almost always passed the ball to his teammates and his own desire to attack was not very strong.
The fans had just seen him score four goals in the Champions League final, performing a hat-trick feat, and had no doubts about Lin Quan's offensive ability.
If such a goal-scoring machine had taken it seriously, the Chinese national team would probably have conceded more than just two goals.
Generally speaking, after a team loses two goals, they will give it their all.
Since you are going to lose anyway, why bother to park the bus and get beaten? Go out and fight the other party. Even if you die, you have to die in a spectacular way.
After all, it was just a friendly match, what psychological burden could there be? However, the Chinese national football team is not an ordinary team. After losing the second goal, their psychological burden not only did not decrease, but deepened.
The Chinese national football team players recalled the unbearable past when they were insulted by the fans in various ways. They already had a premonition of what kind of criticism they would receive after this game! Losing to Spain is normal, but losing to Spain by a large margin is not normal.
As a result, they became more cautious than before, and dared not to risk attacking.
Since the Chinese national football team did not fight back when being beaten, the Spanish side will naturally not be polite.
After scoring two goals in the opening minutes, the team almost secured the victory.
The Spanish players were in a very relaxed mood and they played a dazzling array of passes in the frontcourt.
The players of the Chinese national football team lack self-confidence and are afraid of being scolded afterwards if they blindly rush forward and get passed.
So when Spanish players have the ball, they seldom press them.
This gave the Spanish players ample time and space to handle the ball, greatly improving their pass success rate and gradually increasing the number of threatening passes.
In the 22nd minute of the first half, after 13 consecutive passes, the ball was almost passed into the goal by Spain.
This time, the person who scored the goal was finally Lin Quan.
He, Isco and Morata performed two-on-one and two-on-two passes in the frontcourt, turning the Chinese national team's defense line upside down.
The opponent didn't even have a chance to foul, and Lin Quan dribbled into the penalty area.
Because the opportunity was so good, it would be too fake if he let it go at this moment.
So Lin Quan could only accept the goal with tears in his eyes and scored it easily.
After Lin Quan scored this goal, the scene fell into silence.
More than 90,000 fans in the stadium were shocked!
Although on TV, they have seen a lot of dazzling passing and cooperation between Barcelona and the Spanish national team.
But the degree of shock is completely different when watching it on TV and when watching it in person.
When they saw the Spanish team score such a magical goal, they were all stunned and amazed:
Can football be played like this?
It felt like the way they played was totally different from the way the Spaniards played! The officials from the Football Association who came to the scene saw their team concede three goals in just over 20 minutes, and their faces turned red.
Although they had long thought about the huge gap between the two teams, they never thought the gap would be so big.
And this time we can't use the excuse of race to explain it, because Spain's top star is a Chinese player! Sure enough, it's still a gap in technology.
The Spanish players are not very tall and their physical confrontation ability does not seem to be very strong.
But their footwork is amazing, and they have won two consecutive World Cup titles with their technical football.
Midfielders produced in Spain are highly sought after by major European clubs.
If there is no Spanish midfielder in your team, you can't call yourself a top club.
At present, the whole of Europe seems to be influenced by Spain, and the technology flow is rising at an unprecedented rate.
In that case, why not learn from Spain?
