The four French players on the wing failed to intercept, and instead allowed the opponent to advance the ball into the dangerous area in front of their own penalty area.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly changed. The French players, who had been so ambitious just now, began to panic.

They had finally managed to get one point back, and they couldn't let the opponent score again.

So when Lin Quan passed N'Zonzi, Pogba rushed over at high speed from the side, knocked Lin Quan to the ground, and ended the Spanish team's ground attack with a tactical foul.

Of course, Pogba paid a price for this.

The referee decisively showed Pogba a yellow card. Pogba was obviously going after someone, so it was not unfair to give him a yellow card, and it might even be a light punishment.

Lin Quan rubbed his shoulder. Pogba was a bit shady. He used a lot of force when he hit Lin Quan, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to knock him down.

If it were any other player, he might have injured his shoulder and was forced to leave the field.

"Lin, are you okay?"

Iniesta was near the scene of the incident, so he was very clear about the intensity of the collision with Pogba.

He asked with some concern, fearing that Lin Quan might be injured at this time.

"It's no big deal. Do you want to take the free kick or do I?"

Iniesta had not completed a shot since coming on the pitch, so Lin Quan wanted to give the opponent a chance.

"Let me do it!"

Iniesta hesitated for a moment, but finally did not refuse Lin Quan's kindness.

He really wanted to score a goal in his national team's farewell game and put a perfect end to his national team career.

"Okay, I'll cover you!"

Lin Quan nodded and stood next to Iniesta, making it difficult for the French players to guess who was the real penalty taker.

"The Spanish team got another free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, and Lin Quan and Iniesta both stood in front of the ball."

In the commentary booth, the commentators became excited when they saw the Spanish team get another free kick.

In the first half, Lin Quan had already scored two goals from free kicks. Can he create another miracle in the second half?

If he scores one more goal, he will create a World Cup record and become the only player to score three free kicks in a World Cup match and four goals in a World Cup final! "Considering Lin Quan's outstanding performance in the first half, I think Iniesta should have been covering for him. The person who actually took the free kick must be Lin Quan!"

Most commentators prefer Lin Quan. Firstly, Lin Quan's free kick level is higher, and secondly, everyone wants to witness history with their own eyes.

Lori's palms were sweating from nervousness at this time. He completely ignored Iniesta next to Lin Quan and kept his eyes on Lin Quan.

In Lowry's opinion, the person who took the free throw could only be Lin Quan and no one else.

Lori secretly warned himself in his heart that he must not let this guy score three free kicks in his hands.

He doesn't want to be nailed to the pillar of shame!

In the previous free kicks, Lin Quan has basically demonstrated all of his arsenal.

Although Lori is not 100% sure that he can save the opponent's free kick, compared to the initial state where he had no idea what moves the opponent would use against him, his confidence has now increased a lot.

Lin Quan started to run, but Iniesta didn't move! As expected, Iniesta was just a cover.

Seeing this scene, many people had this thought in their minds.

However, just when Lori had made sufficient preparations and wanted to resolve Lin Quan's free kick threat, he suddenly saw Lin Quan step over the football without touching it.

Oops, I got cheated!

Lori was shocked and hurried to look for Iniesta.

At this time, Iniesta had already drawn his bow and arrow, ready to shoot.

With a bang, the football flew into the sky, drew a graceful arc in the air, like a full moon, and fell towards the French team's goal.

Lori used all his strength and just managed to touch the football with his fingertips.

His flick slightly changed the trajectory of the football, causing it to hit the goal frame and fly out of the bottom line.

Seeing this from a distance, Iniesta couldn't help but shook his head.

Sure enough, my free kick skills are still far inferior to Lin’s!

"Not bad, Xiaobai, you punished me really well!"

"Xiaobai, I didn't expect you to have such a skill!"

"I can't tell at all, it's really hidden!"

But his teammates all praised him, and no one laughed at or blamed him.

Iniesta takes free kicks relatively seldom, and he is not the main penalty taker either at Barcelona or in the national team.

For a player who is not good at free kicks, it is honestly amazing that he can take a free kick of this level.

The opponent's goalkeeper saved the ball beautifully, but if Lori's save was a little slower or his ability to save high balls was a little worse, this ball would have been difficult to save.

“Thank you everyone, thank you!”

Iniesta had a smile on his face. Even though the ball didn't go in, he already felt satisfied.

With such a group of lovely teammates, what else is there to complain about? On the French team side, they escaped again and were very excited. They ran over to hug and high-five Lori.

Although Lori has conceded three goals today, he also made several god-level saves.

This makes the French fans love and hate him.

But to be fair, if other goalkeepers were to take over, they might not be able to do better than Lori in those goals he conceded.

So you really can't blame him, it's not that they didn't work hard, it's just that the other party has a wall!

Spain got another corner kick opportunity.

But having learned from the lesson of the last corner kick, the Spanish team specially deployed several defensive players on the periphery to control the field when taking the corner kick this time.

In this way, even if the opponent gets the ball, they can intercept it immediately when the opponent counterattacks.

If you really can't stop it, you can commit a tactical foul.

The game has entered its final stage. At this point, let alone using a yellow card to exchange for a threatening counterattack opportunity for the opponent, even using a red card would not be a loss.

Bosque still has one substitution slot in his hand. At worst, he can just replace Diego Costa with a defensive player.

The French players felt nervous and excited, and they were obviously thinking about their first goal.

Facts have proved that launching a quick counterattack when the opponent is pressing forward is the most effective way to score.

So as long as they can get the ball to the offensive players, they are very likely to score another goal.

At this time, the French team was only one goal behind. As long as they scored one more goal, both teams would be back to the same starting line.

With their current state, as long as they can equalize the score, they will most likely win in the end.

Lin Quan discussed it with Iniesta and finally decided that Iniesta would take the corner kick.

Lin Quan stood at the side of the penalty area, ready to respond.

Seeing that the opponent might take a tactical corner kick, the French team also sent two people to restrict them.

However, Iniesta did not pass the ball directly to Lin Quan, but passed it to his own full-back Carvajal.

Carvajal's sudden attack gave the Spanish team a local advantage of 3 against 2 on the wing.

After receiving the ball, he pretended to rush towards the penalty area along the bottom line, attracted the opponent's full-back to follow up, and then passed the ball back to Iniesta who came out of the corner area.

Iniesta passed the ball to Lin Quan again, and Lin Quan passed it directly to the edge of the penalty area without stopping.

After passing the ball, Carvajal made a high-speed run and received the ball before the opponent's full-back, and he had already successfully entered the French team's penalty area.

Alarm bells rang in front of the French team's goal, and nearby players including the goalkeeper were moving towards this side.

Carvajal did not choose to shoot directly, but instead intended to pass the ball to his own striker Diego Costa.

Diego Costa is definitely in a better position and because the defender is taken away, he is now almost in an open position.

If Carvajal had successfully passed the ball, he would have had a great chance.

But unfortunately, there were too many people in the opponent's penalty area, and Carvajal's pass hit the opponent's player's leg and deviated a lot.

Diego Costa sprinted with all his might, but his final shot on the ground still failed to touch the ball.

The ball almost brushed the goal line and rolled out of the bottom line! All the French players nearby were scared and broke out in a cold sweat. This ball almost turned into an own goal.

But because the last player to touch the ball was a French player, the Spanish team got another corner kick opportunity.

At this time, the game time has reached the 86th minute.

There is little time left before the end of the game.

"Should we change our tactics and drive directly into the penalty area, or should we continue to cooperate like before?"

Before taking the corner kick, Iniesta discussed with Lin Quan, Busquets and others.

The reason why the ball was not directly sent into the penalty area was mainly because the Spanish team was too low. Without the height advantage, it was too difficult to expect to score the opponent's goal with a header.

Moreover, it is very dangerous to lose the ball at this time. If the opponent gets the ball and launches a quick counterattack, all the efforts of the Spanish team before the game will be wasted.

"Let's cooperate again!"

Lin Quan thought about it and decided to play it safe.

But this time, he planned to handle the ball himself.

In this way, even if the attack fails, he can still control the ball under his feet as much as possible so that he can delay time.

Towards the end of the game, the French team pressed very fiercely, while the Spanish players were exhausted and could hardly run.

So apart from him, the other Spanish players couldn't hold the ball.

"good!"

Iniesta agreed without hesitation. Although he was more experienced than Lin Quan in terms of seniority, Iniesta obeyed Lin Quan's every word and treated him as the boss of the team.

The French team had obviously learned their lesson and knew that it was unlikely that the Spanish team would drive directly into the penalty area.

So this time more people were assigned to guard them on the wing.

Seeing this, Lin Quan slowly retreated and gestured to Iniesta, as if asking him to change tactics.

The French players following him were a little confused for a moment when they saw Lin Quan's actions.

But when they saw Lin Quan was in a position where he couldn't catch the ball, they all felt relieved.

As long as the ball is not passed to Lin Quan, everything else will be fine.

However, just when they breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Quan, who was retreating, suddenly stopped and rushed forward like an arrow.

The French players who had no eyes on the back of their heads suffered a great loss. After they stood in front of Lin Quan, their sights were naturally focused on Iniesta and the ball at his feet. In addition, their bodies were also retreating with Lin Quan. At this time, they were caught off guard by Lin Quan and were unable to speed up and catch up with Lin Quan in the first place.

This gave Lin Quan the space and time to receive the ball! The opportunity was rare, and Iniesta did not waste it and immediately passed the ball to Lin Quan who was coming towards him.

Lin Quan did not waste time turning with the ball, but passed the ball to the baseline.

After taking the corner kick, Iniesta immediately accelerated and rushed here, just in time to receive the pass from Lin Quan.

There was no verbal or even eye contact between the two, but the cooperation between them was as close as that of old comrades who had fought side by side for many years.

Umtiti, who was near the baseline, rushed towards Iniesta and tried to stop him.

But Iniesta had already passed the ball first, and Lin Quan, who had just passed the ball and turned around, had accelerated and rushed up, and received the pass from Iniesta in the penalty area.

Umtiti lost his position, Varane's movement was blocked by Pique who was competing for the header in the penalty area, and Lin Quan got a short space to shoot.

He kicked the ball without hesitation, and N'Zonqi on the side saw Lin Quan about to shoot and immediately slid over.

If it were an ordinary player, Lin Quan would most likely have completed the shot.

But Enzongqi was tall and had long legs, and the control range of his long legs was too large. Lin Quan was tackled to the ground by Enzongqi before he could complete his shot.

The referee immediately blew the whistle and awarded a penalty kick. He also showed N'Zonzi a yellow card, a yellow card combo.

In fact, the referee was showing mercy. If he had been more severe, he could have directly given the opponent a red card and sent him off the field.

The players of the French team gathered around and pleaded with the referee, not for N'Zonzi, but for the other side to cancel the penalty.

The penalty was a death sentence for them. How could the French team play if they were to give their opponents a penalty when they were behind? But the referee certainly couldn't cancel the penalty. If he did, he would definitely be suspected of whistling unfairly.

"Xiaobai, you take the punishment!"

Lin Quan gave the penalty kick opportunity to Iniesta. Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted Lin Quan's kindness.

Facing the French goalkeeper, Iniesta calmly used the change of rhythm to deceive the opponent and pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

The French team's goal was breached again and the score became 4:2.

In the 87th minute of the game, the French team suffered a fatal blow! Although they had celebrated three times, this time, the Spanish fans celebrated as crazy as ever.

Is it really stable this time?

There was no way the French could come back, right? Including injury time, there were only eight minutes at most. Could they have scored two goals in the last eight minutes?

Therefore, for Spanish fans, this time they were not just celebrating a goal, but also celebrating their upcoming World Cup title! Some fans who had been prepared even took out the replica World Cup trophy they bought from the market, held the trophy high, and celebrated in advance.

Although it is not a good idea to open champagne at halftime, it is almost the end of the game now, so it should be okay to open champagne at this time? The morale of the French team was really crushed this time!

Why? Why was it that every time they finally scored a goal and saw the hope of equalizing, this hope was always quickly shattered by the opponent? This happened again and again, torturing them to death.

Your Spanish team is so good at scoring goals, why didn't you score four goals in the first half?

In that case, we can die more cleanly. At least we won't be like we are now, holding on to hopes and fantasies, and then having them shattered again and again, and being disappointed again and again, and finally despairing.

This way of dying is so cruel!

By the time the Spanish team finished celebrating, the game time had reached 89 minutes.

The French team was eager to attack, but was thwarted by fouls from the Spanish team.

Anyway, there is not much time left in the game, so the Spanish players who have not received yellow cards can use their tactical fouls with confidence.

The Spanish team's fouls made the French team's offense intermittent, and they completely lost the smooth offensive rhythm they had before.

Although they also got many free kick opportunities due to the opponent's fouls, unfortunately, there was no top free kick master in their team. In addition, the players were very anxious, so the effect of the free kicks was very average.

The 90 minutes of regular time ended quickly, and there were 6 minutes of stoppage time.

This time was a little too long, and Bosque protested to the fourth official, and the Spanish fans in the stands also booed.

But the French team obviously feels that this time is too short and far from enough.

However, even after giving them six minutes, they were unable to score.

On the contrary, the Spanish team seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack when the opponent was obviously anxious and lost their composure.

Unfortunately, Diego Costa was exhausted and had no strength left. Finally, he was brought down outside the penalty area by the opponent's returning player. The Spanish team got another chance for a free kick.

The position of this free kick was very good, so when the fans of both sides saw Lin Quan standing in front of the ball, they started to get nervous again.

The reason why Spanish fans were nervous was that they really wanted to see Lin Quan complete the record of scoring three free kicks in a single game.

The reason why French fans were nervous was that if the opponent scored this goal, it would create a record of four goals scored in a single World Cup final.

They were the background for the other team to break the record, which was like rubbing salt into their wounds. It was like killing someone and hurting their heart! However, what you feared came true. When Lori was already nervous from saving the free kick, Lin Quan only used a simple falling leaf kick to hang the ball into the goal from the upper right corner.

Lori judged the direction correctly, but the angle was too tricky and there was nothing he could do.

The score became 5:2. While Lin Quan scored four goals, he also broke the World Cup final goal record held by himself and Hurst, becoming the only player in World Cup history to score four goals in the final.

A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. With the witness of fans all over the world, the Spanish team once again lifted the World Cup trophy and completed the incredible feat of winning three consecutive World Cup titles.

Lin Quan also won a series of honors including the Golden Boot Award and Most Valuable Player for his outstanding performance during the World Cup.

After the departure of the older generation of players such as Iniesta, Xavi, Alonso, David Silva and others, Spain's golden generation came to an end.

The glory of the new era will be opened by young players like Lin Quan! (End of the book) (End of this chapter)
