Chapter 1091: The Advantage of Knowing Yourself and Your Enemy

With Pique sent off the pitch with a red card, the Spanish fans in the stands have already begun to leave the stadium early, in their perception, less than 15 minutes before the end of the game, it is even more difficult to equalize than to climb to the sky, and now that they have been sent off, the probability is infinitely close to zero.

"I think the Spanish fans at this point are definitely putting off their main centre-back, but think back...... If it weren't for the referee's mercy in the first half, the number now is not ten, but nine, plus the referee's decision is not a problem, Pique is a foul when Ai completes the breakthrough, and it is not an exaggeration to get a direct red card. The commentators in the commentary seats also set the tone for the game, with Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor saying: "I believe there is no suspense in this game, and it is impossible for Spain, who are in good form and leading by three goals, to beat Spain who are in good form!" The championship will belong to the Chinese team!! ”

At the same time, Bosque, who was standing on the sidelines, quietly walked to the dugout and sat down, he knew...... This game is already powerless.

Not far from the Chinese coaching technical command area Pep Guardiola

David Villa and Cazorla, who had just been substituted, looked at each other, and both could catch the frustration in each other's eyes.

When they were given the chance to play, they naturally wanted to help the team score as soon as possible, then narrow the score and finally equalise before full-time......

Then entered overtime and beat the Chinese team with an unbalanced mentality.

But...... It all became a pipe dream, not to mention being sent off as a main centre-back, and nothing could be more tragic than that.

You know, they've played a good game before, and it's only a matter of time before they score.

David Villa shook his head, then turned to look at Iroh who was sitting on the floor arranging his socks, his confident expression overflowing, he knew ...... The game is no longer in the way of return, and Spain, who are unbeaten in 29 games in all competitions, will be history.

David Villa clenched his fists when he remembered the accolades of the past, having won Euro 2008, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and Euro 2012 for Spain, and he did not want to lose the Confederations Cup in the Grand Slam of his career.

Because he is 32 years old this year, he will be 36 years old in the Confederations Cup in four years, and there will be zero hope of being selected for Spain again......

There's not much time left in the game, so ...... Race for points!

Also thinking about it is David Silva, who doesn't want to lose his best chance to reach the top, four years later...... He didn't know if Spain would be able to play in the Confederations Cup.

So after the game restarted, David Silva and David Villa led the Spanish team with one less player to launch a counter-attack.

Their change was completely unexpected by the Chinese players, because now Spain has one less player to play, and there are only 15 minutes left in the clock, and the score is three goals behind, and the chances of equalizing can be said to be non-existent even in theory, which means that there is no need to fight again......

However, the persistence of David Silva and David Villa led the Spanish team, which did not need to continue fighting, and caught the Chinese team off guard.

David Silva relied on his tacit partnership with David Villa for many years, and the two passed the ball very well together, and in the 80th minute of the game, David Silva unexpectedly passed the ball with the outside of his left foot in the process of attacking the right rib dribble, and the action was very hidden.

Therefore, whether it was Zhao Xuri or Feng Xiaoting, the reaction was half a beat slower, and he watched the football go behind him.

David Villa, who has a strong sense of movement, came from behind and was exactly the same as David Silva's pass, which means ...... No offside!

Seeing this, the Spanish national television commentator suddenly shouted: "Whoa!!" This is an opportunity!! ”

The Spanish fans who stayed at the Maracanã Stadium then erupted in huge cheers, even if their voices were completely suppressed by the exclamations of the fans in the stadium, but they didn't care, the current score is 3:0, if they can lose 1:3 with one less person, then at least they can get by on face!

But...... As a club teammate of David Villa and David Silva, Wang Xiaolei knows very well the routine of the two cooperation, and between 2007 and 2010, Valencia, who lacked Elllo, was always able to stabilize in the top four, and has a crucial connection with the tacit understanding between David Villa and David Silva, so ...... The routines they usually train in the training base, Wang Xiaolei knows the roots.

With the exclamations of the fans at the scene, David Villa accelerated to prepare for the ball, but his right foot seemed to have landed on the ball at the moment of the ball, and his upper body fell forward and fell in the penalty area......

※※※

It turned out that at the moment when David Villa played the ball, Wang Xiaolei abandoned the goal, fell to the ground and slid to the football that rolled to the right rib of the penalty area, and his strength was very strong, which caused David Villa to lose his center of gravity and fall forward when he used the outside of his right foot to play the ball.

Of course, the reason why Wang Xiaolei can pounce on football is that David Villa's age has increased, and his speed and explosiveness have decreased to a certain extent, which will allow him to increase the success rate of his attacks.

Immediately afterward, there was a huge cheer over the Maracanã Stadium, and the Chinese fans gave all the cheers to Wang Xiaolei, because without his brilliant attack, David Villa would have had a good chance of scoring a goal......

David Villa, who fell to the ground, did not complain to the referee that Wang Xiaolei was suspected of fouling, but covered his face with his hands and lamented the unforgiving nature of the years.

As a professional player, he knows that his club teammate Wang Xiaolei's fall to the ground is just the right time, and he can only blame his own age, and various physical fitness indicators have declined to varying degrees, especially the explosiveness that he is proud of......

David Silva, who scored a brilliant goal, rested his hands behind his head and looked up at the night sky of Rio de Janeiro, not knowing what to think......

Spain's attack sounded the alarm for the Chinese team's backline, and Guardiola made further adjustments to the team, replacing the forward Zhang Xizhe with the back Cai Huikang to strengthen the team's defense, after all, the game has less than ten minutes of regular time, and it is a normal choice to maintain the advantage of three goals until the end of the half.

After Spain did not score after David Silva and David Villa did not score, they never created a suitable chance, after all, three goals behind, and one less player, in order to avoid the score to expand again, can only invest the appropriate number of attackers to ensure the safety of the backline.
