Chapter Seventy-Five: Messi of Spain
Bosque used to coach Real Madrid and is an acquaintance with the president of Real Madrid.
After the start of the game, Bosque did not sit in the coach's box, but caught up with Florentino in the audience.
"Morata is very fast, and if he uses it well, he will be a sharp knife, but at the technical level, his skills are not outstanding, and his physical strength is not enough, and it is difficult to carry the beam!"
Neither of them cares much about the outcome of the game on the field, only about the performance of the players who come on the field.
Alvaro Morata was a substitute for Real Madrid, but he was completely underscored against Benzema, and unless Benzema is injured and the team's forward line is unavailable, he will hardly get a chance to play.
Bosque recruited the opponent into the national team, which puzzled Florentino.
What is the strength of his own players, he, the chairman of the club, is still very clear.
It seems that the rumors from the outside world are true, and the national team is really sick and rushed to the hospital.
To what extent is the Spanish national team lacking strikers?
Among the seven strikers recruited by Bosque, in addition to youngsters such as Lin Quan and Morata, even Raul, the Lord of the Rings, who has reached the age of 35.
This is Raul's second selection for the national team after six years.
You know, after the 2010 World Cup, Raul felt that he had no hope of being selected for the national team.
So, at the age of 35 this season, he has left the Bundesliga to go to the Middle East league to pan for gold.
As a result, I didn't expect that my front foot only went to the Qatar league to pan for gold, and my back foot received the call of the national team.
This is too mysterious!
Is the Qatari league more valuable than the Bundesliga?
Spain is a world champion and a European champion, and he actually let a 35-year-old man who is far away from the five major leagues and is about to retire play as a striker, isn't this afraid of making people laugh?
Hearing Florentino's words, Bosque smiled and nodded.
He recruited Morata and Raul, not because of their strength, but just to cover for him to recruit Lin Quan!
Morata is a young player like Lin Quan, one of them was born in Real Madrid, the other was born in Barcelona, and recruiting a bowl of water will not cause criticism.
Although Raul's combat effectiveness has declined severely, his experience is still there, and Bosque is well aware of this disciple's good conduct.
He recruited Raul into the team in the hope that Raul would teach by example, take these young players well, teach them some of his own experience, and help them grow up as soon as possible.
The strength of Real Madrid's second team is not weak, but the gap with the Spanish national team is still obvious.
Although the national team is on the field with some substitutes, the strikers are even newcomers like Lin Quan and Morata.
However, with the blessing of the national team's strong midfield, Lin Quan and Morata have been given countless opportunities up front.
Before the end of the first half, the Spanish national team was already leading 4:0.
In the second half, there was a large area of rotation on the national team's side, except for Lin Quan in the front court, who remained unchanged, and almost all the other players in the middle and back field were replaced by the main force.
Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Sergio Ramos, Pedro, Silva and others came on one after another.
The strength of the national team in the midfield has been further improved, and the formation and style of play are getting closer and closer to Barcelona's style.
Seeing that the head coach began to copy Barcelona's tactical style of play again, the Real Madrid players in the national team were a little unhappy.
They have tried this tactical style of play before, and it didn't work very well.
The midfield strength of the Spanish national team is not lost to Barcelona at all, and even better than Barcelona.
However, in the frontcourt, they lack the explosive point like Messi in the Barcelona team, which makes this style of play a bit unsuitable for the national team.
Seeing that the head coach had only arranged a newcomer under the age of seventeen in front of him, these players felt even more puzzled in their hearts.
Does Coach Bosque count on him to replace Messi and prop up the national team's offensive system?
Not to mention the Real Madrid players, even the players on Barcelona's side feel a little confused.
As Messi's teammates, they know how great Messi is.
The outside world says that Messi is a system player, but many people don't know that Messi is that system.
Only a team with Messi can play Barcelona's kind of tactical play, and without Messi, it can't play that kind of effect at all, just like the Spanish national team.
Isn't it a bit too radical to let a newcomer replace Messi?
"Can this kid do it?"
Butzquez approached Xavi and Iniesta and asked them.
"I don't know, but his style of play is very similar to Leo!"
Iniesta didn't pay much attention to Lin Quan, but vaguely remembered watching videos of him playing football before, and remembered that he seemed to be very similar to Messi's style.
"Well, I can prove this, I've watched his highlights in the Bundesliga, don't look at his youth, his strength is really not weak!"
Xavi obviously pays more attention to Lin Quan than Iniesta, after all, the other party was once his own heir.
Although he didn't watch every game like Messi, he occasionally watched some of Werder Bremen's game highlights, and there were many highlights of Lin Quan.
"Okay, so we're going to play the way the club plays?"
Hearing the words of the two, Butzkes shrugged his shoulders and reluctantly accepted their statement.
Anyway, it's just a warm-up game, and they have a big lead, so there is no psychological burden, and the head coach wants to toss, so it's up to him.
"Okay, pass him more later, and answer him more!"
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 look forward to it.
The second half of the game started quickly.
After the main midfielder of the national team came on, the players of the Real Madrid second team could barely get the ball in midfield.
Barcelona's passing and control system is already terrifying, coupled with the luxurious midfield configuration of the Spanish national team, not to mention that they can't get the ball, and it may be difficult to grab the ball if they change to the Real Madrid first team.
So the game became a half-court offensive and defensive drill for the national team around the goal of Real Madrid's second team!
Lin Quan didn't expect Bosque to arrange such a role for himself, let alone that the world's most luxurious midfielder was feeding himself cannonballs.
This made him enjoy a more comfortable treatment than Messi in the Barcelona team, it turned out that Messi lived such a day in the Barcelona team!
I'm so envious!
Lin Quan, who only enjoyed the top treatment in the half, lived up to the assists of the group of midfield masters behind him.
In the second half, he single-handedly hit 11 shots, nine of which hit the woodwork, and scored five goals.
This result surprised Bosque on the sidelines, he really didn't see the wrong person, this kid really has the potential of a top striker.
Real Madrid President Florentino on the side looked straight in the eyes:
What kind of luck is Barcelona, opening a treasure chest to open such a player?
Thinking of having both Lin Quan and Messi in the Barcelona team, the chairman of Real Madrid was so dark that he almost fainted.
One Messi is so difficult to deal with, and if there is another one, how can Real Madrid play?
No, we must not let him stay in Barcelona, we have to find a way to poach him like Figo!
……
After the game, the players of the national team had a completely different attitude towards Lin Quan.
"Good boy, very strong!"
Puyol took the initiative to give Lin Quan a warm hug, he thought that the other party was coming to the national team to feel the atmosphere of the game, but he didn't expect to have such strength.
This strength, not to mention the starting position, it is definitely no problem to mix substitutes and rotations.
"Hehe, it's all the big brothers' good passes, just our midfield configuration, looking at the entire football world, I'm afraid it's all unique, even if there is no me in the frontcourt, I can still kill all sides!"
Several of the midfielders were very impressed by this, and Cesc Fabregas spoke:
"The midfielder's shooting skills are still not as accurate as the striker, you don't know, we played Georgia in the last game, bombarded dozens of shots, and only scored one goal."
Butzkes, who was on the sidelines, added: "That goal was scored by a defender!" ”
David Silva, who made a cameo as a striker in that game, was a bit embarrassed:
"The opponent put the bus, our shooting skills were not so good, and the timing of the shooting was not accurate enough, so we played like this......"
Xavi waved his hand: "We often encounter dense defense when we are in Barcelona, but Messi can always find a way to break the goal, Lin Quan's style of play is very similar to Messi, if someone dares to use this method to deal with us in the future, then they will suffer!" ”
Iniesta, who had watched Lin Quan's game highlights, felt that Lin Quan seemed to have reservations in this game, so he asked curiously;
"Lin, did you show all your strength in the game just now?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Lin Quan:
This guy didn't use all his strength just now?
So how strong is his real strength?
