If the team plays long passes like those in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, Lin Quan will definitely not be able to do it.

With his height and physical confrontation ability, he is definitely no match for the opponent's tall and strong central defender.

But it would be different if the person passing the ball to him was a top pass master.

Lin Quan's positioning and header abilities are not strong, so wouldn't it be enough to just not let him compete with the opponent's defenders for headers?

The Spanish team had obviously made such arrangements in advance, so when passing the ball to Lin Quan, they consciously avoided the opponent's central defender who was defending behind and chose to pass to the wing.

In this way, the opponent's defender will not be able to control the landing point of the football in the first time. He must compete with Lin Quan in speed. Whoever runs faster and reaches the position first can get the ball.

Spain's first attempt was not successful, as Pique's clearance was too strong and his position was closer to the opponent's defender.

Although Lin Quan sprinted with all his strength, the opponent's defender was still one step faster and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Although they did not get the ball, the Spanish fans at the scene still applauded Lin Quan and Pique who passed the ball.

At least they got a chance for a throw-in. When their team was overwhelmed by the opponent's offense, getting a chance for a throw-in in the opponent's half could greatly reduce their defensive pressure and give them time to catch their breath.

"The French team actually pushed the Spanish team to this point. They are really strong!"

"Yes, the Spanish team was almost beaten to death by the French team's random punches. If it weren't for Lin Huang's alertness, he took advantage of Pique's long kick to sprint forward, they would probably still be beaten now!"

"Speaking of which, wasn't the French defender too cautious just now? He seemed to be able to control the ball instead of kicking it out, right?"

"No, he touched the ball with his left foot and couldn't pass it right away. Lin Huang's speed has increased and he won't be able to adjust. So kicking the ball out of the sideline is the safest way."

After Varane kicked the ball out of the sideline, he stepped back and looked at Lin Quan deeply.

This guy has really good physical fitness. After kicking for such a long time, he still has the strength to sprint over from such a long distance.

After running, my face was not red and I was not out of breath.

Compared to him, I had sprinted a shorter distance and was now a little out of breath.

This made Varane unable to help but wonder if the person in front of him was an alien?

Doesn't he ever get tired?

No, that's impossible! Everyone is tired, this guy must be pretending.

He is the absolute core of the Spanish team and the soul of the team. If he shows signs of physical exhaustion, it will greatly affect the morale of the Spanish team.

So, this guy is probably just holding on!

In fact, his physical strength had already been almost exhausted. After all, in the first half, he was the most ferocious attacker on the Spanish side.

It is natural for Varane to think this way, but it also shows that he lacks experience and does not know Lin Quan well enough.

If it were the defenders in the Premier League who often play against Lin Quan, they would definitely not have such a fluke mentality.

This guy Lin Quan is just an animal, the kind that can't be killed by running!

Since most of the Spanish players were in their own half, Lin Quan obviously couldn't throw the ball out of bounds by himself.

And judging from his appearance, he had no intention of throwing the ball out of bounds himself.

At this time, the Spanish players were slowly approaching the midfield, and Busquets was jogging towards the sideline.

Although it looks like running, it is actually slower than walking.

He is not a fool. He would not waste such a good opportunity to catch his breath and recover his strength.

Besides, the French team is in very good form now. If Spain kicks off immediately, it will give the opponent a chance to continue this form.

But if they delay a little longer, the opponent's momentum will probably be gone.

Therefore, Busquets knows very well how to do this kind of thing that can both give his team a rest and interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.

"Referee, they are wasting time, you have to take care of it!"

The French players couldn't stand it anymore and ran to put pressure on the referee, asking him to warn the Spanish players not to delay the game deliberately.

The referee also felt that the opponent was suspected of delaying time, so he looked at Busquets and wondered whether to get a card.

Busquets is a smart man. Seeing the referee's attitude, he immediately accelerated and stopped wasting time.

He took advantage of the opportunity when someone from the opposing team went to protest to the referee, picked up the ball and quickly threw it out.

Busquets looked towards his own half, as if ready to throw the ball back, but he pointed east and threw the ball west, towards the French team's half which was the opposite of his sight.

This move completely fooled the French players. After seeing Busquets's move, they all prepared to press forward and press the Spanish team's half.

As a result, the other party made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, catching them off guard.

The reason why Busquets didn't throw the ball into his own half was because it was dangerous to do so.

Although it seems that this can more securely control the ball, the opponent has gathered a large number of troops nearby, and they are facing the direction of the Spanish goal. Once the French team successfully steals the ball, they will immediately pose a threat to the Spanish goal.

It is precisely because of this that Busquets chose to do the opposite and threw the ball to the opponent's half.

Although there was only one teammate in the opposing half, he believed that with the tacit understanding between the two, the other team would definitely be able to understand his intentions.

Sure enough, when Busquets looked towards his own half, Lin Quan, who was in the French team's half, suddenly accelerated, bypassed the defensive player in front of him, and rushed to the sideline diagonally in front.

Just as he moved, Busquets threw the ball over.

The opponent never expected that Busquets would pass the ball to Lin Quan, and Lin Quan successfully went around the front, allowing him to get the ball smoothly.

The French players nearby were shocked. They all sensed the danger of death and rushed towards Lin Quan like crazy.

At this time, the French team's half was quite empty. There were not many defensive players left in their own half, and there was no one deeper than Lin Quan.

If Lin Quan could successfully increase his speed, he would have a chance to score a single goal.

This guy holds a 100% success rate in one-on-one attacks. Once he gets a one-on-one opportunity, the French team can just go to bed and forget about it.

Losing the third goal at this time would be enough to sentence them to death.

Lin Quan obviously knew that such an opportunity was rare, so after receiving the ball, he immediately pushed the ball to the left, prepared to turn around and then cut inside with the ball.

But unfortunately, it takes time for him to complete these actions, and the other party will definitely not give him time.

Umtiti and Hernandez tackled the ball almost at the same time. Faced with this double attack, Lin Quan had nowhere to hide and could only be knocked down by his opponents.

Beep! The referee immediately blew the whistle and ran over to show Umtiti the yellow card for the foul.

Umtiti raised his foot too high when he made the tackle just now, which was a dangerous action. Moreover, he touched the person first and then tackled the ball. The yellow card was totally justified.

Umtiti knew the situation himself, so he did not protest or complain, but just accepted it honestly.

Spain once again got a chance for a free kick in the frontcourt, but the position of this free kick was very bad, almost next to the sideline and more than 40 meters away from the goal. No matter how you look at it, it didn't look like a good opportunity.

It was so far away and in such a bad position that many people thought that the Spanish team might not make a fuss about this free kick.

But it turned out that they were wrong.

Lin Quan is not picky, he will shoot whenever he has the chance. This was what Bosque told him before the game.

What's wrong with a bad position or a long distance? Isn't a free kick just a matter of luck?

In that case, let’s give it a try!

What if it goes in? In order to delay the time as much as possible and let the teammates rest more, David Silva and Busquets pretended to run over to discuss "tactics" with Lin Quan.

In fact, the three of them didn't talk about tactics at all. Although they were pointing at the French team's goal, the content of their conversation had nothing to do with this:

"Oh my god, I finally got a breath. I almost suffocated just now!"

Busquets wiped his sweat and complained to his two teammates.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

"Who said it wasn't? The opponent's attack just now was too fierce. Our formation was flattened. It's actually very dangerous!"

"Yes, so we must interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm. Let's delay the ball for a while and waste as much time as possible!"

"Will the referee give you a yellow card for doing this?"

"No problem. Just check the lawn and adjust the position of the ball. In short, don't let the other team think you are wasting time."

Busquets seemed experienced and was passing on to the two his years of experience in dealing with referees.

The referee of this game, Nestor Pitana, is from Argentina. He has participated in the 2014 World Cup in South Africa and last year's Confederations Cup. The Spanish team is no stranger to this referee.

These are within the scope permitted by the rules and are relatively decent compared to behaviors such as faking injuries and lying on the grass.

"It seems that Emperor Lin is not very satisfied with the grass. He stepped on the football several times and changed his position several times!"

"That's normal. It's hard to kick at such a long distance. It's normal to pay attention to details!"

"Otherwise, why do people say that Lin Huang is a free kick master? Success comes from details!"

Although the ball was far away from the goal, France's goalkeeper Lori still felt very nervous.

He might not be nervous at first, but when he saw Lin Quan preparing for the free kick so 'seriously', he couldn't help but get nervous again.

Ah, this familiar feeling of tension! It's so terrible!

Beep! The referee blew the whistle and Lin Quan started running.

With a bang, he swung his right foot and kicked the ball hard.

The ball deformed due to the force, whizzed into the sky, flew over the French team's wall and rushed towards the goal.

Because of the far distance, the goalkeeper had more time to react, so Lori judged the direction correctly this time and made an accurate save.

He lifted the football over the crossbar with one hand, and applause broke out from the stands.

Some French fans who were frightened can finally breathe a sigh of relief at this time.

To be honest, they shouldn't have been too worried given the long distance.

But there was nothing they could do, because the other team had scored two free kicks in the first half. As long as they saw this guy standing in the free kick position, they couldn't help but feel nervous.

This was all thanks to Lin Quan's two goals in the first half! Although the free kick didn't go in, Lin Quan wasn't too disappointed.

This kind of free kick from a very long distance is almost like a lottery. If it goes in, it's just luck, and if it doesn't go in, it's normal.

Furthermore, Spain got another corner kick opportunity and they could continue to delay time.

60 minutes had passed in the game and the French players on the field seemed very anxious, with many of them frequently checking the time on the scoreboard.

Their previous wave of attack had already smelled the scent of scoring a goal. If they just attack for a while longer, they might be able to score their first goal.

But unfortunately, the opponent's counterattack interrupted their offensive, forcing them to return to defend.

At this time, five minutes had passed since they besieged the Spanish team's goal, and the ball was still in the opponent's hands, which made the French players even more anxious.

They really wanted to seize the time to launch an attack on their opponents and equalize the score as soon as possible.

But the Spanish team discussed tactics slowly, just like they did in the previous free kick.

As for what tactics they discussed, only they themselves know.

However, judging from the Spanish team's position on the field, they seemed to want to play tactical coordination.

The person who appeared in the corner area was not Lin Quan, but David Silva, and the most threatening Lin Quan appeared near the right penalty area.

In view of the huge threat posed by Lin Quan, the French team arranged for Kante to act as Lin Quan's "personal bodyguard" to keep a close eye on him and restrict all his actions.

In the penalty area, several tall players of the French team retreated in, ready to compete with the Spanish team's high points for the landing points.

They were worried that Lin Quan, who was hanging around outside, was just a cover, and the opponent's real killer weapon was the Spanish players in the penalty area.

In fact, their guess was almost right. After David Silva took the corner kick, he did not pass the ball to Lin Quan, but directly sent it into the penalty area and kicked it to the back post.

Pique, who was at the front point, and the opponent's defender Varane tried hard to head the ball, but neither of them could head the ball.

After the ball flew to the back point, Ramos suddenly rushed over and overpowered Umtiti to grab the landing point.

Umtiti ultimately suffered from his short height. As a central defender, his height of 1.82 meters is indeed a little too short. Ramos is 2 centimeters taller than him.

And Shui Ye’s header is very famous!

Ramos headed the ball like a mountain, and the football was like a heavy artillery, bombarding the opponent's goal.

This header was very solid, powerful and fast.

Normally, the goalkeeper would be absolutely helpless against this kind of header!

But unfortunately, Ramos's header was too straight.

The French goalkeeper didn't move at all, and the ball almost went straight into his arms.

Lori reacted very quickly. After getting the ball, he quickly rushed out of the small penalty area with the ball, shouted to his teammates in front of him, and threw the ball out with a strong arm.

France's quick counterattack is coming! (End of this chapter)
