In the injury time of the first half, Spain had not yet scored a second goal.
This made the French fans in the stands breathe a sigh of relief, and many of them began to pay close attention to the injury time, wishing they could press the accelerator to fast forward time.
With only 30 seconds left in injury time, the French players wanted to retreat back to their own penalty area to defend.
The Spanish team has not given up and is still making its final attack in the first half.
As the opponent took the initiative to retreat, the Spanish team successfully passed the midfield, but when they approached the opponent's penalty area, they were stubbornly blocked by the opponent.
Lin Quan tried to break through with the ball but was fouled by his opponent.
Matuidi knocked him down from the side and the referee blew the whistle, awarding Spain a free kick.
Seeing that the Spanish team got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, the French fans in the stands could no longer sit still.
Many people think that Matuidi’s foul just now was unnecessary. There were a large number of defensive players in his own penalty area. Even if Lin Quan really passed through, could he still pass everyone in the penalty area and then score the ball?
Well……
It seems possible! If it were someone else, they would definitely not believe it.
But if it was Lin Quan, French fans would not be so sure.
Because this guy has really accomplished such a miracle! Lin Quan stood in front of the ball, ready to take the free kick himself.
Compared with the position of the previous free kick, this time the position is slightly to the left, about 30 meters away from the goal.
Although it was a little farther than last time, it didn't have much impact on Lin Quan, as this distance was still within his shooting range.
There is no doubt that this was Spain's last scoring chance in the first half.
Whether you can seize the opportunity depends entirely on the quality of your kick.
When France's goalkeeper Lori saw Lin Quan standing in front of the ball again, the confidence he had just built up through repeated saves began to waver.
How will this guy take the free kick this time?
Still using the same trick as before?
Thinking of Lin Quan’s previous free kick, Lori felt a little nervous.
The previous free kick was not only fast and powerful, but the leg swing before shooting was also very concealed, making it difficult for him to predict the opponent's movements in advance.
This greatly increased the difficulty of his saves, so if the opponent used this trick again, Lori still had no confidence in saving the ball.
Therefore, when directing his teammates to form a human wall, Lori specifically moved the human wall a little to the right to block Lin Quan's shooting angle from the right as much as possible.
He chose to guard the left side, so if Lin Quan hit the ball in this direction, he would have a great chance of catching the ball.
What, you asked him what would happen if Lin Quan didn’t play on the left?
Of course, we can only choose to trust our teammates! "Don't be afraid after the opponent's penalty kick, just jump up. If you get injured, you can just take a rest. It's definitely worth it to exchange an injury for a World Cup trophy!"
"Don't worry, with my height, I will definitely be the first one to stand out. I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid?"
Giroud, who is over 1.9 meters tall, stood in the middle of the human wall and loudly comforted his teammates, trying to dispel their concerns.
In this way, when we jump later, everyone will not dodge subconsciously.
When the teammates heard this, they felt relieved.
But they still hoped that the other side would not choose to take the free kick from the direction of the human wall. After all, many of them still remembered the terrifying power of Lin Quan's previous free kick.
The human wall was quickly formed and the game had already exceeded the one minute of injury time.
The referee looked at his watch and saw that the opponent's wall was lined up, so he blew the whistle to indicate that Lin Quan could take the free throw.
Lin Quan started to run up, and the rhythm was almost exactly the same as the last time he took a free kick.
Seeing this, Lori immediately judged that the other party was going to use the same trick as before.
This is normal. After all, he just scored a goal with that trick, so he would naturally try again.
Lori stared at Lin Quan's footsteps. He wanted to judge the direction of the opponent's shot by which foot the opponent used to shoot.
Generally speaking, the left foot hits the right side and the right foot hits the left side.
The free kick position of the Spanish team is originally biased to the left, and Lin Quan will most likely shoot with his right foot, which means that he will most likely shoot on the left side.
This is why Lori chose to guard the left side himself! Here we go!
Seeing that Lin Quan chose to use his left foot as a supporting leg and swung his right foot to prepare for a shot, Lori was secretly happy. His prediction was correct. The opponent was indeed going to shoot on the left side.
But just when he was ready to fly to save the ball, he suddenly saw that Lin Quan's leg swing was different from before.
If Lin Quan used his calves to exert force in a very concealed manner last time, then this time, his leg swinging action was very obvious. His thighs were straightened, and the strength of his whole body was transferred from his thighs to his calves, like a whip, lashing the football fiercely.
Bang! With a loud bang, the football flew into the sky.
The human wall formed by Giroud and others jumped high, but did not touch the ball at all.
Did you hit it too high?
After seeing the height of the ball, many fans in the stands subconsciously thought that the ball would go over the goal frame.
Many French fans breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, thinking that they had finally escaped danger.
The Spanish fans were somewhat disappointed, and couldn't help but wonder: Even Lin Quan would make a mistake under such great pressure? However, the next second, the football, which was almost sentenced to death by everyone, flew to the highest point, and suddenly fell straight down at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had hit something. The speed was very fast.
"Elevator ball!"
The fans in the stands who knew a lot about football were instantly shocked. This was not just a high shot, it was clearly an elevator ball with a calculated height.
The French team's goal was in danger! Lloris, who was waiting on the left, did not receive the ball as he expected, but instead saw the ball heading straight towards the goal from the middle.
He was startled and rushed to save the ball, but it was too late. Before he could make a move, the football had already gone into the goal along the bottom edge of the goal frame.
2:0!
Spain scored another goal in injury time in the first half, achieving the goal they set before the game.
Boom! The scene was already in madness, the fans were like crazy, they were all stunned by Lin Quan's free kick!
"Fuck, is this an elevator ball? It's too fast!"
"This ball is as fast as lightning!"
"It was so fast that I couldn't see clearly and the ball went in!"
"Is there a speedometer on site? The speed of the ball must be over 150 kilometers per hour, right?"
This is not only an elevator ball, but also an elevator ball at an extremely fast speed.
The goalkeeper has no time to react to a free kick at this speed.
The technicians on the scene seemed to be very concerned about the speed of Lin Quan's free kick. After completing the speed measurement, they immediately put the number on the big screen.
The director switched the camera promptly and gave a close-up of the number.
The speed of Lin Quan's free kick was as high as 168 kilometers per hour! Seeing this number displayed on the big screen, the fans at the scene were in an uproar.
"How can Emperor Lin's tiny body contain such terrifying energy? How can his explosive power be so strong?"
"You really can't judge a person by his appearance!"
"The violent aesthetics that belong only to Emperor Lin!"
Lin Quan's shot was only 30 meters away from the goal, which means that from the time Lin Quan kicked the ball out to the time it flew into the goal, the goalkeeper only had 0.65 seconds to react and save the ball! Even the fastest sprinter needs 0.2 seconds to react, which means that the goalkeeper only has 0.45 seconds to save the ball! Unless the ball hits the goalkeeper right where he is standing, the goalkeeper will not be able to react at all! Ronaldo, who had been eliminated and returned to Portugal with the team, saw Lin Quan's goal at home and jumped up from the sofa.
Ronaldo stared at the TV screen in shock, with disbelief written all over his face.
Lin Quan's goal reminded him of the free kick he scored on the field against Portsmouth in the 2007-08 season when he was still playing for Manchester United.

That battle-axe free kick was the highlight of Ronaldo's violent aesthetics that year, and it was a peak moment that even Sir Alex Ferguson praised highly.
At this moment, from Lin Quan's goal, Ronaldo saw the shadow of his peak period ten years ago.
In fact, the opponent's ball speed is faster than mine back then!
…
In the northwest of England, in a stately home in Cheshire.
The retired Scottish old man was leisurely sipping red wine while turning on the TV to watch the live broadcast of the World Cup final.
Because the England team was eliminated in the semi-finals, the old man watched the game with a relaxed attitude as a neutral observer.
Lin Quan's first goal won the Scottish old man's cheers, but it was just cheers.
However, after seeing Lin Quan score the second goal in injury time in the first half, Sir Alex Ferguson could no longer sit still.
"Damn it, I really should have bought a ticket to watch the game!"
He felt sorry for missing such a wonderful goal.
Yes, just like Ronaldo, after seeing Lin Quan's goal, Ferguson immediately thought of Ronaldo's goal ten years ago.
This moment is just like that moment.
It's exactly like that! When he thought of this, the old man recalled the past that had been buried for several years.
When Lin Quan left Barcelona and had not yet decided on his next club, Manchester United still had a chance.
It's a pity that he chose to retire and did not stay to help the team compete for this genius who will dominate the football world in the future.
If I had chosen to delay retirement and go all out to win Lin Quan, would the result be different? Would Manchester United still be the overlord of the Premier League, and would Lin Quan become the second talent discovered and cultivated by me after Cristiano Ronaldo? Unfortunately, there is no if.
…
"I knew he could do it!"
"I knew it!"
Bosque was as excited as a 200-pound kid, waving his arms, shaking his body, and he wanted to dance on the spot.
When Coach Tony saw Bosque's face twisted with excitement and the fat all over his body trembling after the intense activity, he was so scared that he quickly stepped back, fearing that the other party would give him a bear hug out of excitement.
It wasn't just Bosque who went crazy. On the Spanish bench, when they saw Lin Quan score the goal, the assistant coach and a dozen substitutes all rushed out like crazy, shouting excitedly. Some of them even wanted to rush onto the field to join the players' celebration.
The first half was over and I thought there was no hope of achieving the goal we had set.
No one expected that Lin Quan would seize this last chance to score and score such a wonderful and incredible goal.
This goal immediately made the situation of the Spanish team much better. With a two-goal lead, they had enough capital to deal with the French team in the second half.
Although the French team had great stamina, Spain's two solid goals were enough to offset all of the opponent's advantages.
Compared to the chaotic Spanish coaching bench, the French team seemed to have pressed the mute button, and the entire bench was eerily quiet.
Deschamps' brows were almost turning into the shape of a "川" character. No matter how much he planned, he never expected that the team would be defeated by the opponent in the last minute of the first half.
The damage caused by this goal was very serious. Not only did it turn their deficit from one goal into two goals, it also dealt a fatal blow to their morale.
As players of the French team, what would they feel when they see the opponent's number 10 on the field, using his magical free kick skills to score one goal after another? They would probably think that the opponent is invincible, and this mentality would greatly affect the confidence of the French team. Even if they have the advantage in physical fitness, they may not be able to fully exert their true strength in the second half due to the serious lack of morale.
And this is almost fatal to the French team!
Deschamps has begun thinking about how to use the half-time break to calm the players and help them regain their confidence.
If the morale problem is solved, the French team may not be able to perform as they usually do in the second half.
…
As the injury time of the first half had run out, after the Spanish team finished celebrating and kicked off again, the referee did not waste a second and blew the whistle to end the first half.
The two teams returned to the locker room with a score of 2:0.
As Deschamps expected, the morale of the French team was clearly affected.
When the players left the field, they were all dejected and distraught.
It's no wonder. The opponent scored two goals in a row with the same player using free kicks. Anyone would question their life.
As for free kicks, scoring one in a game is already amazing, but the opponent actually scored two in one game, and each goal was more exciting than the other.
No matter what the final result of this game is, the opponent's two free kicks are destined to become classic scenes in the World Cup, and they are destined to become a background board.
If they lose the game in the end, they will not only become a background board, but also a stepping stone for the Spanish team.
If the other team wins the cup again, it will be the only time in the history of the World Cup that they will win three consecutive championships.
Many French players were confident in their own abilities and therefore did not think too much about this issue.
But at this moment, as they were hit twice in a row by their opponents on the court, they suddenly remembered that the opponent was the defending champion of the World Cup twice.
When I thought of this, my confidence, which was already shaky, fell further to the bottom.
Many people couldn't help but ask in their hearts: Can we really defeat such a powerful opponent? (End of this chapter)
