Chapter 75 Messi of Spain
Bosque once coached Real Madrid and was an acquaintance of the president of Real Madrid.
After the game started, Bosque did not sit in the coaching seat, but chatted with Florentino in the audience.
"Morata is very fast and can be a sharp knife if used properly, but technically, his skills are not outstanding and his physical fitness is not sufficient, so it is difficult for him to carry the main responsibility!"
Neither of them cared much about the outcome of the game on the field, they only cared about the performance of the players on the field.
Morata is a substitute in Real Madrid, but he is completely at a disadvantage in the competition with Benzema. Unless Benzema is injured and there is no one available on the team's front line, he basically has no chance to play.
Florentino was puzzled by Bosque's recruitment of him into the national team.
As the club chairman, he is very clear about the strength of his own players.
It seems that the rumors outside are true, and the national team is really desperate and trying every possible means.
To what extent is the Spanish national team short of strikers? Among the seven strikers recruited by Bosque, in addition to young players such as Lin Quan and Morata, there is even the 35-year-old King of the Rings Raul.
This is the first time Raul has been selected for the national team in six years.
You know, after the 2010 World Cup, Raul felt that he had no hope of being selected for the national team.
So, this season, he turned 35 and left the Bundesliga to seek gold in the Middle East league.
Unexpectedly, he had just arrived in the Qatar League to make money when he received a call-up from the national team.
This is too fantastic!
Is the Qatari League more valuable than the Bundesliga? Spain is the world champion and European champion, but they let a 35-year-old who has never played in the top five leagues and is about to retire play as a striker. Aren't they afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?
Hearing Florentino's words, Bosque smiled and nodded.
He recruited Morata and Raul not because of their strength, but just to cover up his recruitment of Lin Quan!
Morata and Lin Quan are both young players. One comes from Real Madrid and the other from Barcelona. Recruiting them equally will not cause controversy.
Although Raul's fighting power has seriously declined, his experience is still there, and Bosque is well aware of the good character of this disciple.
He recruited Raul into the team hoping that Raul would teach by example, lead these young players well, pass on some of his experience to them, and help them grow up as quickly as possible.
Real Madrid B team is not weak, but the gap between them and the Spanish national team is still obvious.
Although the national team's players are all substitutes, the forwards even include newcomers like Lin Quan and Morata.
But with the support of the national team's strong midfield, Lin Quan and Morata got countless opportunities in the frontcourt.
Before the first half was over, the Spanish national team was already leading 4:0.
In the second half, the national team made a large-scale rotation. Except for Lin Quan in the frontcourt who remained unchanged, almost all other players in the midfield and backcourt were replaced by main players.
Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Ramos, Pedro, Silva and others came on the field one after another.
The national team's strength in the midfield has been further improved, and its formation and playing style are becoming closer and closer to Barcelona's style.
The Real Madrid players in the national team felt a little unhappy when they saw the head coach start to copy Barcelona's tactics again.
They had tried this tactical approach before, but it didn't work very well.
The Spanish national team's midfield and backcourt strength is not inferior to Barcelona at all, and is even stronger than Barcelona.
However, they lack an explosive player like Messi in Barcelona in the frontcourt, which makes this style of play not suitable for the national team.
When they saw that the head coach only arranged a newcomer who was less than seventeen years old in the front, the players felt even more confused.
Does coach Bosque expect him to replace Messi and support the national team's offensive system?
Not to mention the Real Madrid players, even the Barcelona players felt a little confused.
As Messi's teammates, they know how great Messi is.
People say that Messi is a system player, but many people don’t know that Messi is the system.
Only a team with Messi can play the same tactical style as Barcelona. Without Messi, it is simply impossible to achieve that kind of effect, just like the Spanish national team.
Is it a bit too radical to replace Messi with a newcomer?
"Can this kid do it?"
Busquets approached Xavi and Iniesta and asked them.
"I don't know, but his playing style is very similar to Leo's!"
Iniesta didn't pay much attention to Lin Quan, but he vaguely remembered watching a video of him playing football before and remembered that his style seemed to be very similar to Messi's.
"Well, I can prove this. I've seen his Bundesliga game highlights. Even though he's young, he's really strong!"
Xavi obviously pays more attention to Lin Quan than Iniesta, after all, the latter was once his designated successor.
Although he doesn't watch every game like Messi, he occasionally watches some Werder Bremen's game highlights, among which there are many wonderful clips of Lin Quan.
"Okay, then we should still play according to the club's style?"
When Butzkes heard what the two said, he shrugged his shoulders, reluctantly accepting what they said.
Anyway, it's just a warm-up match, and they are leading by a large margin, so they don't have any psychological burden. If the head coach wants to do something, just let him do it.
"Okay, pass the ball to him more often and support him more later!"
Iniesta was eager to try and couldn't wait to cooperate with Lin Quan.

He has cooperated with Messi a lot, but he has never cooperated with another 'Messi', which makes him very much looking forward to it.
The second half of the game will begin soon.
After the national team's main midfielder came on the field, Real Madrid B's players could hardly get the ball in the midfield.
Barcelona's passing and controlling system is terrifying to begin with, and coupled with the Spanish national team's luxurious midfield configuration, let alone they can't get the ball, even Real Madrid's first team would probably find it difficult to grab the ball.
So the game turned into a half-court attack and defense drill for the national team around the goal of Real Madrid B! Lin Quan didn't expect Bosque to assign him such a role, and he didn't expect that the most luxurious midfield in the world would supply him with ammunition.
This allowed him to enjoy more comfortable treatment than Messi in the Barcelona team. It turns out that this was the life Messi lived in the Barcelona team!
So envious!
Lin Quan, who only enjoyed top treatment for half the game, did not let down the assists from the group of midfield masters behind him.
In the second half of the game, he took 11 shots alone, 9 of which hit the goal frame, and scored five goals.
This result made Bosque on the sidelines extremely surprised. He thought he was right about the guy. This kid really has the potential to be a top striker.
Real Madrid president Florentino was staring at this with wide eyes:
What kind of incredible luck did Barcelona have to get such a player when opening a treasure chest? When the president of Real Madrid thought that Barcelona had both Lin Quan and Messi, he almost fainted.
Messi is already so difficult to deal with, how can Real Madrid handle another one? No, we can't let him stay in Barcelona, we have to find a way to dig him over like we did with Figo! ...
After the game, the national team players' attitude towards Lin Quan was completely different.
"Good boy, you are very strong!"
Puyol took the initiative to give Lin Quan a warm hug. He thought that the other party came to the national team to feel the atmosphere of the game, but he did not expect that he had such strength.
With this strength, he will definitely have no problem getting a starting position, or being a substitute or in rotation.
"Haha, it's all because of the big brothers' good passing skills. Our midfield configuration is probably unique in the entire football world. Even if I'm not in the frontcourt, we can still be invincible!"
The midfielders were very pleased with what he said, and Fabregas said:
"The shooting skills of the midfielders are still not as accurate as those of the forwards. You don't know that in our last game against Georgia, we fired dozens of shots but only scored one goal."
Butzkes on the side added: "That goal was scored by the defender!"
David Silva, who played as a striker in that game, was a little embarrassed: "The opponent parked the bus, our shooting skills were not that good, and the timing of shooting was not accurate enough, so the game ended up like this..."
Xavi waved his hand and said, "We often encountered dense defense when we were in Barcelona, but Messi always found a way to score. Lin Quan's playing style is very similar to Messi's. If someone dares to use this method against us in the future, they will suffer!"
Iniesta, who had watched the highlights of Lin Quan's game, felt that Lin Quan seemed to be holding back in this game, so he asked curiously;
"Lin, did you use all your strength in the match just now?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Lin Quan: This guy didn't even use his full strength just now? Then how strong is he really?
