Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 298 Sweeping opponents by 30 and advancing to the quarterfinals of the World Cup!

Seeing that Spain quickly replaced Harvey, the head coach of Mexico sighed with regret.

Harvey was the breakthrough they found. They planned to make good use of this point to make a fuss, but they didn't expect Bosque to be so stable and replace Harvey so quickly.

Although the newly replaced midfielder is very young, only 22 years old, he has already established himself as the absolute main force of Atletico Madrid and has performed well in the Champions League.

Such a player is probably not so easy to deal with.

Facts have proved that his concerns are correct. After Koke played, the Spanish midfielder's defensive strength has improved a bit.

I don't know if it is born like this, or it is a habit cultivated by Simeone.

Cork implemented the tactics arranged by the head coach very thoroughly. He did not spare his physical fitness, and ran all over the field without hesitation after playing.

You can see him on the offensive end, and you can see him on the defensive end.

And when he was defending, his tackles were unambiguous at all, giving people a rude and wild feeling, as if he was a player similar to Monk Pepe.

However, when he is attacking with the ball, his foot skills, wide vision and precise passing are all impressive.

This guy feels like a younger version of Harvey or a combination of Harvey and Harvey Alonso.

Plenty of stamina, strong body, wide vision, flexible feet, accurate passing.

Cork is really well rounded!

Lin Quan and Cork have not played together many times. After Spain qualified early in the world preliminaries last year, Lin Quan missed several months of national team competitions.

It was also during this period, relying on his outstanding performance at the club, that Bosque recruited young players such as Cork into the team, and led them to play many remaining games and some friendly matches.

Among them, the frontcourt combination of Cork and Real Madrid's Isco has high hopes from many Spaniards, who believe that these two young players may succeed the classic combination of Harvey and Iniesta in the future.

Although there is little cooperation, the strength of teammates can be seen on the field.

After seeing Koke play, he quickly entered the state, and the more he played, the better he played.

Lin Quan was also relieved, and he began to consciously adjust the formation to the premise, and ignited the flames of war to Mexico's half.

Naturally, the Mexican players could not sit idly by. Their midfielders and defenders strangled Lin Quan together, trying to break the ball from his feet.

Lin Quan's goal was not to rely on his own strength to forcibly break through the opponent's defense line. Although it was not impossible to do so, the success rate of doing so was too low, and it was too lacking in teamwork.

After he saw that he had attracted the attention of the defender, he immediately split the ball and consciously pulled Mexico's formation to the side, leaving their midfield empty and creating conditions for Spain to attack from the center.

Spain's two wingers are both players with strong offensive capabilities, and Lin Quan took the initiative to lean over after passing the ball, which made the Mexican players dare not relax their vigilance.

They assigned a defensive midfielder to cooperate with the full-back and winger to strangle the Spanish players holding the ball on the wing.

In the not-so-open space on the wing, five players from both sides came at once, and it was immediately crowded.

At the same time, after being pulled away by a midfielder, Mexico's defense in the middle became a lot more empty.

Under the pressure of the opponent, Iniesta protected the ball. Seeing Lin Quan leaning over, he quickly returned the ball to Lin Quan's feet. It is to cooperate with Lin Quan tactically.

Mexico's full-back clung to Iniesta, desperately trying to get in position, preventing him from getting the ball comfortably.

After Lin Quan stopped the ball, he made a gesture to pass it to Iniesta who was running forward. Seeing this, the opponent's midfielder immediately blocked the passing line and planned to intercept it halfway.

However, Lin Quan feigned a shot and instead of passing the ball to Iniesta who was penetrating forward, he knocked back to Cork who had already killed the center line.

After receiving the ball, Cork quickly dribbled the ball towards Mexico's half court, and another Mexican midfielder rushed up to steal the ball from Cork's feet.

Cork didn't waste time getting past the opponent, but quickly moved the ball wide and wide to David Silva.

Since Mexico's two midfielders have been taken away, Mexico's middle road looks a bit empty.

David Silva saw the right moment, immediately dribbled the ball inside, and killed towards the middle.

He is not far from the goal at this time. If the opponent does not step forward to intercept, David Silva can even take a long shot directly.

Mexico's defenders couldn't sit still, and their two defenders rushed to David Silva together, intending to double-team him and completely prevent Spain's attack.

It's just that they seem to have forgotten that David Silva is not a pure wing assaulter, he also has the ability of a top midfielder.

Before the opponent's double-team was in place, David Silva calmly passed the ball to Torres who dropped back to receive the ball.

In this game, Torres' role on the field is the fulcrum of the Spanish team, responsible for receiving and returning the ball.

Without an absolute chance, he will not shoot easily.

This time is no exception!

After receiving a pass from his teammate, Torres faced the opponent's defender's pushing and shoving, and deftly passed the ball back to break through the opponent's interception and hit Lin Quan at the front of the penalty area.

Torres passed the ball very well. Lin Quan didn't need to adjust after receiving the ball. He took a step and entered the penalty area.

In the penalty area, the Mexican defenders were a little flustered.

Spain's offensive rhythm is too fast, and their defensive players are either taken away or have no time to settle. At this time, only a lonely back line is left to face Spain's offense.

Moreover, seeing that Lin Quan was the one who came in with the ball, the Mexican defenders were a little embarrassed.

In only 5 minutes of the opening, they gave the opponent a penalty, which made them a little bit cautious, and they dared not take it easily, for fear of fouling again and sending the opponent another penalty.

The score on the field was already 0:2. If they conceded another goal, unless Mexico could replicate the miracle in Istanbul, they would definitely be eliminated.

Mexico's defenders cast a mouse, which made Lin Quan, who was planning to pass the ball, change his mind.

What do you mean by being so far apart?Are your eyes defensive?
He raised his foot to make a fake shot, and the Mexican defenders immediately made sideways, raised their legs and other blocking actions.

However, this was just a feint by Lin Quan.

After deceiving the opponent to react, he quickly flicked the ball, passed the defender in front of him, and rushed towards the goal.

This time, it was the unlucky Rodriguez who got passed.

As before, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Lin Quan, but just as he stretched out his hand, he immediately recalled the painful lesson of the first half, and retracted it like an electric shock.

Mexico's captain, Rafael Marquez, wearing the No. 4 jersey, appeared in front of Lin Quan.

Compared with Rodriguez, Max's defensive experience is much richer.

He once played for Barcelona and was the first Mexican player to wear a Barcelona jersey.

Although he is old now, his condition is still very good, and he is very good at observing the trend of the game and making full use of his rich experience to help the team win.

After learning the previous lesson, Max knew that Rodriguez could not stop Lin Quan, so he moved towards this side in advance.

If it weren't for his decision, Lin Quan would definitely have had a single-handed chance by now.

Max secretly said that he was lucky, and at the same time cheered up in his heart and raised his vigilance.

Spain's No. 30 is young, but his reputation and strength are not bad. If he carelessly underestimates the enemy, he may pay a heavy price.

Musk is ready to fight Lin Quan.

However, Lin Quan didn't give him a chance.

After he took away two defenders, Torres' place was vacated.

So Lin Quan selflessly passed the ball to Torres who was in the open position.

Torres adjusted after receiving the ball, aiming at the upper left corner of the goal, trying to hit an absolute dead corner like Lin Quan.

As it turns out, doing so is risky!
There was only a bang, and the football hit the crossbar and bounced off the baseline.

Ah this...

The Torres people were all stupid, holding their heads, and their mouths became O-shaped.

On the sidelines, Bosque saw Lin Quan passing the ball. When Torres shot, he had already clenched his fists and raised them up. He only waited for Torres to score the ball and then celebrated wildly.

However, Torres kicked the ball away, bringing the celebrations of Bosque and the Spanish coaching staff and the substitutes on the bench to an abrupt end.

"This guy, turn around and ask him to practice shooting a thousand times, specially hitting the upper left corner of the goal, until he is satisfied!"

Is there anything more outrageous than this?
Lin Quan also thought it was outrageous!

Both myself and David Silva have taken away all the opponent's defenders, and Torres only needs to face the goalkeeper.

And in the situation just now, the opponent's goalkeeper couldn't attack at all, and Torres had enough time to adjust and shoot.

However, he handed in such an outrageous answer sheet!
The mood of the Spanish fans at the scene was like a roller coaster. They thought that the team could completely seal the victory, but they did not expect such a good opportunity to be wasted.

Fortunately, they are still in the lead now, and the lead is still huge, so they quickly recovered from this regrettable state, and applauded the players on the field one after another, affirming their role in this attack. outstanding performance.

After missing the goal, Torres was full of guilt and came to apologize to Lin Quan.

"Sorry Lin, I wasted one of your assists!"

"Don't hesitate to shoot next time, just hit it directly!"

Lin Quan nodded and did not hold on to the matter.

"Well, next time for sure!"

Torres nodded heavily.

However, there is no next time.

In the 67th minute, Bosque made another substitution adjustment.

He replaced Torres with Villa.

Although Villa is getting older, his condition is really good.

In the 78th minute, Spain's quick counterattack.

It was still Cork who stole the ball in the middle and sent a through pass to Lin Quan in the frontcourt.

Lin Quan sent an over-the-top pass, Villa succeeded in anti-offside, and scored a single goal in the penalty area.

He did not waste Lin Quan's wonderful pass, and after receiving Lin Quan's pass, he lightly pushed the far corner to help Spain expand the score to 3:0.
After scoring this goal, they completely killed the suspense of the game and secured a place to advance to the quarterfinals.

With more than ten minutes left in the game, it is impossible for Mexico to tie the score anyway.

"David, what a beautiful run and a great shot!"

During the celebration, Lin Quan sincerely sent his praise.

Villa is 33 years old, and his sense of smell and ability to seize opportunities are still so strong.

It's a pity that time is not forgiving, and his days in the national team may be numbered.

"Hehe, it's because you pass the ball well. If your pass is slower, I will be offside!"

Villa did not take the credit for being arrogant, but humbly gave Lin Quan the credit for the ball.

This made Lin Quan's impression of him better. He is humble, low-key and not pushy. He is obviously very strong, but his reputation is far inferior to his two teammates in the national team.

Of course, he is not the same type as Torres.

Villa is a natural shooter, while Torres is more like a traditional center forward, who can carry and shoot, can rush and lead, and can eat defenders raw.

The only problem is that Toniu's peak period was a bit short, and it went downhill after leaving Liverpool.

Villa's upper limit may be lower than Torres, but his peak period is longer, even at the age of 33, he still maintains a good state.

When Lin Quan joined the national team, Torres was no longer at his peak, but Villa was still at the end of his peak, which made him have a better impression of Villa.

Spain's third goal was a fatal blow to Mexico.

Three goals behind, the game is coming to an end, and the Mexican players know that they will miss the quarter-finals.

This result made them feel frustrated, and they played weakly on the field, almost allowing Spain to seize the opportunity to score another goal.

Fortunately, their captain Max stepped forward and scolded his teammates in time to wake them up, allowing them to cheer up and fight for the honor of Mexico.

Mexico has already conceded three goals and cannot concede a fourth.

Another goal will be called a tragedy. They can accept the result of losing, but they don't want to be bloodbathed by Spain.

So, in the final stage of the game, a group of Mexican players who fought for honor played better than before.

But unfortunately, this state came too slowly.

In the 84th minute, Bosque used up the last substitution.

He replaced Lin Quan and replaced Pedro.

The purpose of this substitution is obvious, it is to allow Lin Quan to accept the cheers of the fans alone.

In this game, Lin Quan scored a goal and contributed an assist, which can be said to be the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

Without the penalty kick he made in the opening 5 minutes, even if Spain could win this game, it would not have won so easily.

The fans cooperated very much and gave Lin Quan a standing ovation.

Lin Quan also applauded and responded to the fans at the scene as before, and at the same time he was a little puzzled:

Bosque replaced himself in advance for two consecutive games recently, and accepted the applause of the fans alone. Isn't it too good for him?
The point is that he didn't seem to favor himself so much before, did he?
Why all of a sudden...

This made Lin Quan feel that Bosque seemed to have some kind of conspiracy!
After Lin Quan left the field, Spain's offensive dropped a lot.

Their desire to attack was not very strong either. The players began to waste time in the backcourt and did not continue to attack Mexico's goal.

The Mexican players tried to press the Spanish players, but after being slipped for a while, they decisively gave up this unrealistic idea.

Unless they all pressed on, it was obviously impossible to snatch the ball from the feet of the Spanish defenders with only a few players in the frontcourt.

A few minutes later, with the final minute of stoppage time running out, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

In the end, Spain defeated Mexico 3-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

The Matador Legion still continued their good momentum of consecutive victories. Their opponents in the quarterfinals will be decided in four hours.

But neither Costa Rica nor Greece can pose a threat to the Matador Legion.

It is only a matter of time before they advance to the semi-finals!
