Chapter 57: The debut of the national team

Spain, inside the office of national team coach Bosque.

Bosque, the star coach who led Spain to the World Cup and the European Championship, was watching a video of a game with his assistant coach Toney.

The duo didn't care about the outcome of the game, focusing on the performance of the number 10 on the pitch with the green jersey.

After watching the video, assistant coach Tony's eyes lit up and he said excitedly to Bosque:

"Old man, this guy is simply tailor-made for our national team lineup, with him, our lack of offensive firepower in the front court can be completely solved!"

Bosque smiled and raised his hand to tell his old partner not to be so excited.

Although he also admits that Werder Bremen's number 10 is indeed a perfect fit for the current tactical system of the Spanish national team.

However, the other party is inevitably too young!

I heard that he is not yet 17 years old, and at this age he was recruited to the national team to play the main team, even if he is the champion coach, I am afraid that he will be scolded to death by the media!

"It's good, it's just that he's a little too young, and if you recruit him rashly, I'm afraid it will cause criticism, don't you know how difficult those reporters in China are?"

Coach Tony saw the hesitation of his good partner, so he thought of a compromise:

"That's good, let's let him play in the national youth team first, if he can adapt to the national youth team and perform well, we will put him in the national team squad, there will not be so much criticism!"

Bosque nodded, it was a good idea, and left the matter to Tony.

……

After the match against Hamburg, the next round of the Bundesliga is two weeks away.

Lin Quan thought that he could get a long vacation, but he didn't expect a call from the Spanish Football Association to inform him to report to the national youth team.

Lin Quan does not rule out playing for the national team, but the other party has never recruited him before, so his national team resume is still blank.

Although the other party only asked him to report to the national youth team, not to the national team.

But for his age, it's good to be able to play in the national youth team, the national team?

He hasn't thought about it for the time being, he feels that Bosque definitely can't look down on him, after all, the Spanish international squad is too luxurious, where are so many stars, why recruit himself as an unknown newcomer?

Moreover, it feels better to go to the national youth team than to sit on the cold bench in the national team.

So he hurriedly packed his things and rushed back to Spain to report to the national youth team.

This year's Spanish national youth team has many young players from La Liga giants, such as Real Madrid's Morata and Nacho.

Barça's Thiago, Tello, Montoya, Balat, Munesa, etc.

In addition, there are a large number of main players from small and medium-sized clubs, such as Malaga's main player, Isco, the strongest contender for this year's European Golden Boy Award.

Most of these players play in La Liga or La B, some of them are starters, some are the main core, and some of the rest are also important rotation players.

Because of their age, they are not as well-known as the players of the Spanish national team, but their strength is not weak.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this year's youth teams of European countries, they are sitting on the side of the two.

Like the national team, the central axis of the Spanish youth team is dominated by Barcelona players.

And Lin Quan also came out of the La Masia academy, so after he came to the team to report, he did not have any discomfort and quickly integrated into the team's tactical system.

After a few days of joint training, Lin Quan determined that although the teammates of this group of national youth team are young, their strength is actually stronger than that of their own club teammates.

Despite their young age, they have surpassed their club team-mates in terms of skill and have even more potential and talent.

All they lack is game experience.

With stronger teammates, Lin Quan felt a lot easier to play.

As long as he runs out of space, his teammates can always pass the ball to him as soon as possible.

And Barcelona's tactical system itself is tailor-made for Messi.

Lin Quan, who copied Messi's attributes, has a feeling of being at home in this system!

As a result, he received stronger support, and in the grouping match within the team, he slaughtered all sides like a god, and easily scored five goals in only half a game with various means.

Not only that, because he was born as a midfielder before, and Messi also has organizational skills.

So he occasionally makes a cameo in the front court to organize the work of the front midfield, connect the team's attack group, and feed the other teammates.

After all, you can't let yourself out of the limelight alone.

Because of the pass to Moratado with a few assists, the latter immediately became friends with Lin Quan, and did not mind that their respective teams were sworn enemies in the league.

On the contrary, the players of Barcelona had a somewhat lukewarm attitude towards Lin Quan, vaguely revealing a kind of rejection.

However, they did not bring this attitude to the field, and when it was time to pass the ball to Lin Quan, they would still pass the ball decisively.

So Lin Quan didn't mind much, he speculated that these guys thought they would go back to Barcelona to grab their place.

But only Lin Quan himself knows that he will not return to Barcelona again, so this wary attitude towards the other party is naturally a smile.

Lin Quan's perfect integration, as well as his excellent attacking and tandem ability in the midfield, directly improved the offensive firepower of the main team.

This performance not only won him the respect and love of his teammates, but also surprised the head coach of the national youth team, Hulen Lotterpage.

Because Lin Quan's age was younger than his teammates in the national youth team, he thought that the national team had thrown a burden on him and asked him to take Lin Quan, a young player, to practice.

As a result, I didn't expect this to be a thigh, an elephant's thigh.

His appearance perfectly solved the dilemma of the lack of strong finishers in the team's midfield.

Although this guy is not very old, his personal ability is too strong, and he is simply a copy of Messi.

And how eager the Spanish national team is for Messi, everyone in the world knows!

So, he did not hesitate to put Lin Quan in the starting line-up and arrange for him to play in Spain's European Youth Championship qualifiers against Switzerland.

In this game, the upgraded Spanish attacking group showed strong attacking firepower in the game.

The Swiss team, which is known for its defense, was scored three goals by the opponent in just half time.

The Swiss players were stunned, the opponent's No. 10 was so fucking perverted, and no one could defend one-on-one.

The point is that he can not only score goals, but also pass and assist.

Send two of them to cover him, and he will immediately pass the ball to the Swiss team's defense.

The rest of the Spanish youth team is also very strong, and they can score goals if they are given free space.

As a result, the Swiss team fell into the embarrassing situation of not defending and not defending.

The Spanish youth team played very comfortably in this game, although the team only changed a striker.

But it felt completely different from before, like a rusty machine with lubricating oil and smooth.

Many of the players even felt like a whole team, and the team felt stronger both offensively and defensively.

And their opponents, the Swiss youth team, feel terrible.

They saw the shadow of the Cosmos team Barcelona in this Spanish youth team, and the opponent's passing and control system was exactly the same as Barcelona.

Even the opponent's No. 10 is almost exactly the same as Barcelona's Messi.

In the face of the Spanish youth team's terrifying possession of the ball, they could not touch the ball at all, and could only chase the football around like headless flies.

The players of the Spanish youth team easily mobilized their defensive players through passing, so that their defense had a lot of holes, so the conceded goals came one after another.

Before the end of the first half, the Spanish youth team had already scored three goals and had a terrifying 79% possession.

Throughout the first half, the Swiss side barely touched the ball.

In the second half, the situation of the Swiss team did not improve, although the Spanish national youth team sold the home team a face.

They only scored two goals in the second half, but Switzerland were still beaten and unable to fight back.

In the end, at the end of the game, Lin Quan made two passes and two shots to help the team defeat the opponent with a score of 5:0.

The poor Swiss team didn't score a goal at their home stadium and was beaten by the opponent.

But they're not the worst.

Four days later, Spain host Croatia.

Spain continued their terrifying firepower in this game.

Although the Croatian national youth team is stronger than Switzerland, it still cannot escape the fate of being bloodied by Spain.

Lin Quan was on fire in this game, staged an amazing big four, and also sent two attacks.

At the end of the game, Spain defeated Croatia 7-0 and advanced to the main round of the European Youth Championship with a record of eight consecutive wins.

And their terrifying offensive firepower has also attracted the attention of the entire European football world.

Fans in many countries have begun to lament that the Spanish national team has won the European Championship and the World Cup, and now their youth team is so terrible.

Could it be that in the next ten years, European and even world football will be ruled by the bullfighting army?

……

It doesn't seem to be so pessimistic......

At the same time, in the World Cup budget tournament.

In the face of the weak Georgia, the Spanish national team was scoreless, and bombarded dozens of goals around the opponent's goal throughout the game, and finally scored a goal by Soldado in the 86th minute of the game, and won the victory with difficulty.

After this match, the Spanish media was in a state of fire and ice.

They sang the praises of their youth team's dominance at the European Youth Championships, but were hardly satisfied with the senior team's performance at the World Qualifiers.

Although they won, the team's lack of strikers has not changed.

Even because of the aging of Xavi and others, the team's form began to decline, which made the whole of Spain worried about the upcoming Confederations Cup.

It was at this time that Lin Quan's outstanding performance in the youth team attracted the attention of the media, so someone proposed:

Since the striker of the national team is not good, why not recruit this talented striker of the youth team to give it a try?

This proposal caused a lot of controversy.

There are many people in favor and against, and for a while, whether to recruit Lin Quan into the national team has become the focus of discussion in the entire Spain.
