Chapter 81: The French team is coming

Lin Quan really hasn't paid attention to this problem, because this year's big hit is not him.

He's only been playing for less than half a season, and although he's been doing well, he's been playing for a short time, and he's a far cry from the favourites who have been playing for a year or two.

"The Golden Boy Award is selected in late October every year and announced before Christmas in December, and now is the critical period for the selection of the Golden Boy Award, and the Spanish Football Federation is going all out for Isco, I want to fight for you."

Bosque is between Isco and Lin Quan, and he must have preferred Lin Quan more.

After all, the latter is a player who has been single-handedly promoted, and Isco has not yet been selected for the national team, and among the two, he will definitely choose Lin Quan.

"Even if you don't get selected this year, you have to create momentum, so that it will be easier to come back next year!"

'Also, we've been inconsistent with penalties in our squad and almost all of these players on the pitch have missed penalties.

That's why Bosque insists on doing so, and the group of players in the team is just too unreliable.

As long as they are reliable, they will not be able to hand over the responsibility of taking penalties to a young player who is not yet 17 years old.

Lin Quan still had concerns in his heart, and to be honest, he was a little tempted by Bosque's proposal.

Who doesn't want the privilege of taking penalties to increase the number of goals scored?

Maybe in the game, a few more penalties will secure the Golden Boot for the top scorer.

In the rules of the system, if you win the Golden Boot award, you will be rewarded with points.

But if this privilege is really given to him, will the veteran players in the team be convinced?

He didn't want to ruin the atmosphere within the team and upset the veteran players.

So he thought for a moment and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think it's fair to the other players to just let me take the penalty. So ......"

Seeing that he was about to refuse, Bosque sighed and changed his words:

"Well, in that case, then add you to the penalty list, you and the other players take turns to take the penalty, whoever misses the penalty will take the next turn, and if you don't miss the penalty, you will keep taking the penalty until you miss it, what do you think?"

It was a good proposition, it didn't give him privileges, but it also gave him the opportunity to compete with other teammates.

If his team-mates miss a penalty themselves, then he has a chance and his team-mates have nothing to complain about.

"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement!"

Bosque shook his head, this kid, everyone else is vying for the privilege of taking a penalty, but he is good and takes the initiative to send it to the door, but he doesn't want it.

While Spain was preparing for the match, their opponents, the French team, had already arrived in Madrid by plane.

Because of the strength of the home team, the Spanish fans did not do anything too much to the away team.

More often than not, they run to the national team's training base to cheer on their home team.

"Is that what we need to do with Messi?"

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

"Tsk, this footwork is worthy of coming out of the La Masia Academy!"

Outside the training base, many fans came to see Lin Quan, and most of these fans began to fall in love with the young man in the team after watching the live broadcast of the Spain vs Belarus match.

They held slogans with various words in their hands, some wearing Lin Quan's No. 30 shirt for the national team, and some holding up his No. 10 shirt in Werder Bremen, with expressions of excitement on their faces.

"Tsk, you've got a lot of fans!"

Morata is a little envious and jealous, why doesn't he have so many fans when he is tall, handsome and handsome?

It must be that he doesn't score enough goals, but if he can score three goals himself, then these people will definitely become big fans of him.

"Compared to the captain, it's still far behind!"

Lin Quan looked to the sidelines, where Casillas and Ramos were signing autographs for their fans.

There are a lot of fans in the two, and their arms are sore, and they haven't come out of the encirclement of fans yet......

The training base of the national team is in Madrid, which belongs to Real Madrid.

Ramos and Casey are both staminaries of Real Madrid, and it is no surprise that they have been warmly welcomed by the fans on their home turf.

On the contrary, the players on the Barcelona side are very low-key in Madrid, because they know that even in the national team, there are still many Madrid fans who do not welcome them.

Just like the boos Pique received when he came in before, although it had something to do with him stretching out five fingers on the field to humiliate Real Madrid.

However, the grudges between Barcelona and Real Madrid over the years are too deep, and it is common for fans of the two teams to attack and slander each other.

This, coupled with Catalan separatism, makes things even more complicated.

In this case, it's better to keep a low profile.

This is also the reason why Lin Quan did not sign autographs for the fans who supported him, although he did not play for Barcelona, but nominally he is still a Barcelona player.

So he was worried that he would be booed when he went out, after all, he had been wiped naked with Pique before......

At around half past six in the afternoon, the players of the Spanish national team took the bus and began to march to the Calderón stadium, the venue of the match.

This could be the last time the Spanish national team will play a World Cup qualifier at the Estadio Calderón, and the Stadio Cadellón is likely to be demolished after Atletico Madrid have received funding from Wanda to build a new stadium.

Therefore, among the several candidate stadiums that bid to host this group stage, the Spanish Football Federation deliberately chose the Stadio Cadre Lón and abandoned the better stadiums such as the Bernabeu.

The match between Spain and France was a key match in the third round of the European qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

In addition to the many TV stations in Spain that chose to broadcast it live, Sky Sports also broadcast the match.

Because the match between England and Poland will not be played until tomorrow afternoon, the match is also very much watched in the UK, and Sky Sports has even arranged for an ace commentator like Martin Taylor to explain the game.

"Spain have won 24 straight matches in the World Championship and are on a hot streak with their 6-0 thrashing of Belarus away in their last game.

In addition to the World Cup-winning members, there are also some new faces in the team.

Like their No.30 Lin, who is at the heart of Werder Bremen's attack, who finished fourth in the Bundesliga this season.

He has scored nine goals in six Bundesliga games so far, and his 1.5 goals per game is the highest efficiency in the Bundesliga.

As for the national team, he has only played one game for the Spanish national team so far, but he has already scored three goals and three assists.

Although this player is young, he has already shown the potential of a superstar, and I believe that this winter, there will definitely be no shortage of giants chasing him. ”

Like Martin Taylor, there are still many people who pay attention to Lin Quan, such as the commentator on the French side, who emphasized Lin Quan's threat to the French team in the front court in their pre-match analysis.

In an interview before the game, Ribery, who had played against Lin Quan in the league, also emphasized that Lin Quan was the most threatening player in the Spanish team.

With the current state of the French team, they have little chance of winning against Spain without Lin Quan.

And when Lin Quan joined and Spain began to evolve towards the ultimate body, they met Spain, and the winning rate was probably even lower.

"Although I don't want to say that, we have to admit that in the face of the team's hard power, we are no longer the number one in the world who won the World Cup twice in ten years.

There is a big gap between us and Spain, the double winners of the World Cup and the European Championship, and our aim for this game should be to keep the draw, as long as we don't lose away from home, then when we return to our home stadium in the next leg, we have hope of winning! ”

France's commentators are pessimistic, and so is their manager.

In this game, they directly put on a defensive posture and planned to shrink and kick.

In the European Cup, they let go of their hands and feet to play with Spain, but they were kicked 2:0 by the opponent.

Now that the opponent has become stronger, if they still play like that, wouldn't they be looking for death?

Of course, shrinking doesn't mean they're throwing in the towel.

On the contrary, compressing your own formation into the back court and letting the opponent's formation press up is more conducive to their counterattack.

Although Spain's passing system is very strong, the French team is looking for efficiency, not possession.

As long as they can score one or two more goals on the counter-attack, then they are likely to win in the end, so what's the use of Spain's high possession?

At 19:45, players from both sides began to enter one after another.

The formation of both sides for this game is 433, and the starting list is:

Spain: No. 1 Casillas, No. 17 Aberloa, No. 16 Busquets, No. 15 Ramos, No. 18 Alba, No. 8 Xavi, No. 10 Fabregas, No. 6 Iniesta, No. 21 Silva, No. 30 Linquan, No. 11 Pedro

France: No. 1 Lloris (the one in the 2022 World Cup final), No. 2 Debichi, No. 21 Koscielny, No. 5 Sako, No. 3 Evra, No. 6 Cabaye, No. 17 Gonalons, No. 12 Matuidi, No. 14 Mane, No. 10 Benzema, No. 7 Ribery

After playing the national anthem and shaking hands, the time came to 20:00 sharp.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
