Chapter 529: Singlehandedly Challenge the Entire Italian Defense Line
"Italy's defense should not have made such a mistake!"
In front of the TV, Germany's head coach Loew shook his head.
Manchester City's tactics are not very clever. They just use the width of the field and transfer the ball over a large area to mobilize the opponent's defensive players and find loopholes.
Italy's response was actually no problem. Seeing that Lin Quan was still on the right side, they left De Sciglio to be in charge of defense.
However, De Sciglio's personal strength was obviously not enough to see off Lin Quan. When Lin Quan and other teammates pretended to move to the left, he also moved with them. He did not expect that Lin Quan would suddenly change the rhythm and launch a surprise attack.
De Sciglio is not known for his speed. If the opponent starts first, he will definitely not be able to catch up if he turns around, which gives Spain the opportunity to break through the Italian defense.
As a result, Italy's seemingly impregnable defense was easily broken by the Spanish team, or by Lin Quan and David Silva.
Lin Quan received the pass from David Silva and ran with the ball without slowing down at all, while looking up to observe the opponent's defensive position.
After breaking through Italy's defensive chain, he broke into the middle position between the opponent's midfielder and the back line.
Because Italy uses a three-center-back system, there are no full-backs in front of Lin Quan to interfere or intercept.
After feeling the threat, the three central defenders, Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzagli, all began to retreat and move towards the penalty area.
They can let Lin Quan go down the bottom and make a cross, but they cannot let Lin Quan cut into the penalty area and complete the shot.
Morata had already rushed to the vicinity of the penalty area line, but Giaccherini and De Rossi of the Italian team were returning to defense at this time, and cooperated with several defenders who retreated into the penalty area to build a three-dimensional encirclement of Morata.
After just one look, Lin Quan understood that the ball could not be passed to Morata.
After ruling out Morata, he immediately looked for a second suitable target.
David Silva was on the left side, at a long distance, and his ball could not get past two or three defensive players and reach the opponent's feet. If he kicked a high ball, it would slow down the attack and make the team lose the opportunity for a fast break.
So David Silva was quickly ruled out, and he only had one choice left - Iniesta! De Rossi, who was returning to defense, saw Lin Quan glance at Iniesta. The experienced De Rossi immediately saw through the opponent's intention and immediately changed his strategy, handing the task of marking Morata to his teammates, and rushed towards Iniesta.
De Rossi can attack or defend, has excellent mental attributes, and is a world-class midfielder.
Under his defense, Iniesta could not find any chance to receive the ball, which meant that Lin Quan had one less passing option! Morata was not good, David Silva was not good, and Iniesta was even worse.
The other players were behind Lin Quan, so it seemed that he could only pass the ball back.
However, just when everyone thought so, Lin Quan did not do as everyone expected.
He was still dribbling forward! "What does this guy want to do? Is he going to single out our entire defense line?"
All the Italian fans in the stands were shocked!
In front of Lin Quan is a complete defensive line, which includes Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli and Buffon, forming the BBBC combination!
This line of defense can be regarded as one of the strongest in football at present. If these players were younger, this one of them could be removed! This line of defense has helped Juventus and the Italian national team resist the attacks of opponents countless times. It is a classic line of defense that has been tested in actual combat.
Italians have much more trust in their team's defense than in their forward combination.
So when they saw Lin Quan trying to take on the entire Italian defense line, they all lost their composure! "This kid is too crazy!"
"Come on, Chiellini, Barzali, Bonucci, teach this kid a painful lesson and let him know how powerful we are!"
The Italian fans in the stands were very confident in their team's defense, but Chiellini and others seemed very solemn.
This is not the first time they have faced Lin Quan. In last year's Champions League, Juventus faced Manchester City twice.
At that time, it was the three of them who guarded the back line for Juventus.
In those two games, the three of them suffered a lot at the hands of Lin Quan.
Therefore, when they saw Lin Quan rushing towards them with the ball, alarm bells immediately rang in their hearts and they all became alert!
Among the BBC trio, Chiellini took the lead. He did not rush forward blindly, but instead blocked the position, forcing Lin Quan to slow down, creating opportunities for his teammates to intercept and steal the ball.
The three of them cooperated very well. As soon as Chiellini made a move, Bonucci and Barzagli also took action immediately.
The three players have clear division of labor: one goes forward to intercept, one fills in and assists in defense, and one presses on the flank.
As long as Lin Quan slows down, he will be surrounded by three people and losing the ball will happen in a matter of minutes.
Lin Quan was obviously well aware of this. He glanced at Morata, who was taking advantage of the space created by the movement of Barzagli and Bonucci and seized the opportunity to rush forward.
Barzali saw Lin Quan's actions, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to follow Morata.
As Morata's teammate, Barzali is very clear about Morata's strength.
Although this kid is a bit nervous and often misses opportunities, as long as he is in good shape, he is a sharp weapon that cannot be ignored.
Unfortunately, Morata has been in great form in these games, so Barzagli dare not ignore his threat.
Although it is very difficult for Lin Quan to pass the ball to Morata's feet, the opponent is not an ordinary player, but a superstar who is good at creating miracles.
Things that seem almost impossible to others often happen under this guy's feet.
This made Barzagli afraid to gamble, as if he lost, he might never recover.
Barzagli's choice greatly reduced Lin Quan's threat on the flank. He made a decisive choice, changed direction after dribbling the ball, and moved horizontally towards the left side of the court.
Lin Quan's move made several Italian defenders feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. He was isolated and helpless on the right side, and no one could cooperate with him.
But if he were allowed to go to the left, it would be different!
As he moves towards the left, he will get closer to Morata, and as the distance gets closer, the two of them may be able to play a small-scale pass and cut cooperation.
This is exactly what Spain is good at, so Italy has to be on guard.
Chiellini and Bonucci immediately moved with Lin Quan who was dribbling the ball. While continuing to keep a close eye on Lin Quan, they also created an offside trap for Morata, preventing Lin Quan from passing the ball to him in the first place.
After seeing that Morata was in an offside position, Lin Quan did not pass the ball immediately.
Morata also had to stop rushing into the penalty area, retreat a few steps, and prepare to take the ball with his back.
This is preparing to make a pass for Lin Quan!
Seeing this, Barzagli immediately rushed between Lin Quan and Morata, cutting off the connection and preventing the opponent from cooperating.
Seeing that there was no hope of passing the ball to Morata, Lin Quan immediately looked for the next teammate to receive the ball. This time, David Silva who rushed over from the left was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
The two are not only teammates in the national team, but also in the club. They have cooperated with each other countless times and have a tacit understanding.
If these two people really form a connection, Italy's goal will be in real danger.
So, Florenzi and Parolo from Italy rushed towards the two men at the first moment, one cutting off the passing line between the two, and the other rushed towards Lin Quan, wanting to cooperate with their teammates to completely surround and kill Lin Quan!
Lin saw every move of the opponent very clearly. He leaned to the left and did have the idea of cooperating with Morata and David Silva.
But the person he most wanted to pass the ball to was actually Iniesta.
Unfortunately, De Rossi was not fooled. While his teammates were moving, he stood still like a mountain and just stared at Iniesta, making it impossible for Lin Quan's plan to be implemented.
In this case, there is only one last option left! Lin Quan, who was dribbling the ball horizontally, suddenly changed his rhythm, dribbled the ball and accelerated towards the Italian penalty area.

Standing in front of him was the legendary Italian defender Barzagli! Barzagli saw Lin Quan rushing towards him and was startled: Good fellow, do you think I'm a pushover?
Barzali guessed correctly, Lin Quan really treated him as a soft persimmon.
Among the Italian defensive trio, Barzagli is the oldest.
Born in 1981, he is 35 years old this year.
At the age of 35, Barzagli still has his defensive awareness and even has more defensive experience.
However, his physical fitness inevitably declined.
Lin Quan didn't plan to play any fancy tricks with Barzagli. He wanted to compete with Barzagli in speed to see who was faster between the two of them!
The speed that Lin Quan wants to compare is not speed in the general sense, but reaction speed!
Instead of slowing down, he accelerated towards Barzali.
This means that the two may only have one round of fighting, and Barzagli only has one chance. If he makes a mistake in judgment, he will be defeated! Barzagli obviously understands this. He is very alert and carefully stares at the ball under Lin Quan's feet, ready to meet Lin Quan's challenge.
The distance between the two men quickly narrowed, and Lin Quan took the first step.
His left shoulder dropped slightly, and his left foot pushed the ball to the outside, as if he was planning to pass it to Barzagli's right side.
In the football world, experts have done a lot of research on Lin Quan's way of dribbling.
One of them is his fake shoulder pass.
Like Messi, Lin Quan has extremely fast footwork and a strong ability to control and adjust his body's center of gravity.
This means that they can change their center of gravity at will, and even if they have already taken one foot out, they can still choose to break through from the other side.
This makes the defender's defensive experience of judging the opponent's breakthrough direction by the change of the opponent's center of gravity invalid when facing ordinary players. When facing such players, you cannot easily trust the opponent's actions, but must rely on prediction!
Because of this understanding, Barzagli's first reaction after seeing Lin Quan's move was whether this was a fake move. No, it was not a fake move! At this time, Barzagli had his back to the goal, with Bonucci on his left and no one on his right. It was obviously the most reasonable choice to pass from his right side.
In a flash, Barzali made a judgment.
He stretched out his foot to intercept Lin Quan's expected breakthrough route!
However, the moment he made the choice, Lin Quan retracted his left foot, quickly pushed the ball to the right, tapped the ball lightly with the arch of his right foot, and stepped forward. In a moment, Lin Quan adjusted his body's center of gravity and re-selected the direction of breakthrough.
Barzali's mind was extremely clear at this time. He watched Lin Quan complete all this in front of him at an extremely fast speed, but he was unable to make any effective response.
His right foot hadn't even landed yet, and he couldn't adjust his body's center of gravity at all! Facing the agile and swift Lin Quan, Barzali was like an old car that had been in service for decades, and he couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm at all.
I'm getting old! At this moment, Barzali only had this thought and sigh in his mind.
If I were a few years younger, I wouldn't be so embarrassed even if I was deceived by the opponent's fake moves.
However, he was not completely desperate. Lin Quan did not break through from his right side, but chose the left side, which meant that he would go straight to Bonucci and Chiellini.
These two guys are much more flexible than my old arms and legs, especially Bonucci. He is only 29 years old this year and is in his prime!
Bonucci was defending Morata and was shocked when he saw Lin Quan pass Barzagli at lightning speed.
What a fast speed!
His reaction speed was also extremely fast. After realizing that something was wrong, he immediately blocked Lin Quan, not giving Lin Quan the opportunity to change direction again and shoot from the unmanned area on the left.
Bonucci's timing for the steal was just right. Lin Quan had just completed a breakthrough on Barzagli and had not yet fully adjusted his steps and dribbling rhythm. If he had gone up to steal the ball at this time, he would have had a great chance of stealing the ball.
But Lin Quan seemed to have predicted the opponent's move, and after passing Barzagli, he chose to pass the ball immediately.
Pass the ball?
Bonucci was shocked and immediately realized that something was wrong!
As soon as he left, Morata's flank seemed to be empty! Sure enough, Morata, with his back to the goal, received the pass from Lin Quan.
The moment he received the ball, Morata gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
Fortunately, I was smart and turned around early, so I could see Boss Lin's actions. Otherwise, I would not have been able to cooperate with Boss Lin without eyes at the back of my head.
Morata knew that this was a rare opportunity, so without any hesitation, he leaned against Chiellini and passed the ball back to Lin Quan.
Lin Quan, who had already adjusted his rhythm, was ready to shoot the moment Morata passed the ball back.
With a loud bang, the football flew towards the goal! (End of this chapter)
