Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's February.

On February 2, Werder Bremen hosted Hannover 96.

In this game, Lin Quan made one pass and one shot, helping the team easily defeat the opponent and win two consecutive victories.

After this match, the FIFA international break arrived.

Lin Quan flew directly to Doha, the capital of Qatar, where Spain will play a friendly match against South American football powerhouse Uruguay.

Originally, Spain wanted to invite Argentina, but Argentina first made an appointment with the Swedish team, which led to Spain's plan having to fall through.

Because Uruguay are one of the teams participating in this year's Confederations Cup, Spain did not plan to invite them in the first place.

Before the start of a major tournament, the participating teams generally do not ask each other for friendly matches.

But this time, after they tentatively extended an invitation, they didn't expect Uruguay to agree.

Uruguay made an initial appointment with France, but the French team released their pigeons, leaving them with no ball to play.

It just so happened that Spain's invitation was handed over, and Uruguay looked at it, and Spain has the sponsorship of a rich man from the Middle East, and he can get more than 2 million euros in sponsorship fees for playing friendly matches.

So I readily agreed.

Because the opponent is one of the teams participating in the Confederations Cup, and it is also a traditional powerhouse in South America.

Therefore, Spain attaches great importance to this game, and Bosque has the mentality of training and the idea of testing the opponent's quality, and has discharged a lineup with most of the main force and a small number of substitutes.

Chelsea's Juan Mata replaced David Silva, Arsenal's Cazorla replaced Xavi, Barcelona's Valdés replaced Casillas, and veteran captain Puyol returned from injury to start the game in search of fit.

However, Lin Quan's starting position is still stable, and Bosque is in the position of a free man in the front court, and he did not choose to try to rotate.

In fact, there are no such rotation players in the Spanish squad.

After the start of the game, Spain played more cautiously and did not attack immediately.

Instead, it was Uruguay's eagerness to try and press them high when they were in possession, trying to break the ball and counter-attack in the Spanish half.

This tactic may work against the average team, but not against Spain.

Seeing Uruguay's three forwards rushing towards them, the Spanish backfield maestro began to show off their passing footwork.

Cazorla, who has no backfoot and balanced feet, directs and dispatches in the midfield position, reasonably distributes the ball, and lets the opponent's three forwards run back and forth, but they can't touch the ball at all.

Seeing that he couldn't grab the ball and had to be walked by the other party, Suarez's eyes turned red!

He stared at Cazorla's shoulder and licked his tongue.

Cazorla, who had coached the opponent at Arsenal, was so frightened that the ball was snatched away by Cavani.

Cavani broke the ball and quickly passed to Rodriguez, who himself ran towards the Spanish penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Rodriguez was about to run wildly with the ball on the wing, but he met the opponent's No. 30 head-on.

After seeing that the player who came to defend him was Lin Quan, Rodriguez looked very disdainful.

Playing for Atletico Madrid, under the tutelage of Simeone, he can be described as clear on defense.

The opponent's defensive move, at first glance, is a layman, as long as he dials a trip, he can easily pass.

That's what Rodriguez thinks, and that's what he does.

Look at me, and go again!

Hey!

Isn't that all there is to it?

Hey, wait, where's my ball?

Rodriguez's man is gone, but the ball is gone.

Looking back, good guys, the ball was stolen by the opponent at some point, and the opponent is now racing towards their half with the ball!

"Stop him!"

Uruguay's head coach Oscar saw the opponent's No. 30 snatch the ball in the dead room, and bounced out of his seat with a frightened thud.

The biggest threat in the opposing lineup is this number 30, allowing the opponent to easily get the ball, which is very dangerous for Uruguay.

Tasware's shouts were drowned out by the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators, and the players on the pitch did not hear him.

But even if the head coach didn't shout, they knew Lin Quan's threat.

Their left-back, Andreas Pereira, who plays for Inter Milan, rushed in immediately.

It's not that Pereira hasn't heard of Lin Quan's name, but he thinks the other party is only 17 years old, how great can he be?

He scored so many goals in the Bundesliga, it was all because the Bundesliga team can't defend, we are from Serie A.

In front of the reinforced concrete defense line of Serie A, defending these strikers of the Bundesliga, isn't that just like playing?

It just so happened that when Lin Quan played the ball, the strength was a little bigger, and the ball was a little far away from him.

Pereira saw that this was a good opportunity!

So I didn't even think about it, and just stretched out my feet to grab it!

Lin Quan didn't expect the other party to be fooled so easily, his trick was no longer very effective in the Bundesliga, and those defenders were all well learned.

When Pereira lifted his foot, Lin Quan stumbled the ball first, and the ball slashed towards his left foot.

With his left foot, he flicked the ball and it rolled forward.

These two movements connect very naturally and very quickly!

At the same time as kicking the ball out, Lin Quan's people also accelerated and rushed past Pereira's right.

Like a clown, Pereira kicked him in the air.

The ball didn't kick, but he lost his balance and fell to the ground with a snap.

Until he fell, his mind didn't turn around:

How the hell was I subjected?

Seeing his left-back being passed like a clown, Taswareh couldn't help but reach out and cover his face.

Before the game, he told the defenders to be careful of the opponent's number 30 dribbling and feints.

This guy's dribbling skills are excellent, and his passing feints are very realistic.

If you want to snatch the ball from his feet when he is dribbling, you have to wrap it up with multiple people or go up to the body.

Pereira didn't do anything, he went straight to the front, he made a huge mistake, and it was so normal to be passed.

Lin Quan cut inside immediately after getting past Pereira, and when Muslera came out to block his own shot, he faked a real pass and smashed the ball into the middle of the gap.

Iniesta, who was inserted in the back, received the ball in the open space and easily pushed the empty goal, rewriting the score to 1:0!

After the goal, Iniesta smiled and pointed at Lin Quan, indicating that the main credit for the goal belonged to Lin Quan.

Lin Quan also gave a thumbs up to Iniesta, Xiaobai's running position and timing of the back insertion were also excellent, otherwise he would have passed the ball to the opposing defender.

For Lin Quan, the feeling of playing for the Spanish national team and playing for the club is completely different.

His team-mates at the club are generally weak, and apart from De Bruyne, the other players are not as good as them in terms of awareness and technique, and there are often situations where they do not work together.

This led to them having to change their style of play to suit their teammates.

But when it comes to the national team, his teammates are all top players in the world.

They don't need to communicate with each other at all, and it's easy for each other to understand each other's intentions.

This makes their coordination easy to play, and it's all the kind of coordination that is pleasing to the eye.

It's the kind of game that feels very easy to play.

Like Lin Quan's feelings, his teammates also felt that it was very easy to play with Lin Quan.

At least they don't have to worry about the offensive firepower in the front court now, with Lin Quan, Spain don't have to worry about not being able to score goals at all.

Not to mention that his breakthroughs, dribbling and shooting are at the top level, even if he removes the breakthrough and dribbling, just retaining the ability to shoot, as long as he stays in the front court and eats cakes, the top midfield masters in Spain can feed him until he vomits!

……

The goal was scored very easily, and Bosque just applauded on the sidelines, his expression looking quite calm and not very excited.

He was still wondering in his heart:

Uruguay, the third place in Latin America, is at this level?

That's not a good thing!

While super strikers such as Suarez and Edinson Cavani up front look intimidating, the opposition midfield is not as good.

And the left-back seems to be a fool, so reckless when facing Lin Quan.

Bosque is curious, when Uruguay plays Argentina, will Pereira face Messi be so easy?

After scoring early, Spain played more and more relaxed.

After gradually gaining control of the midfield, Spain began to attack the opposing half.

In the 19th minute of the game, Lin Quan took the ball in the front court, and after hitting the wall three times in a row with teammates Iniesta, Fabregas and others, he entered the penalty area.

Faced with the attacking goalkeeper, he opted to shoot into the far corner.

The ball was a very coquettish shot, and the ball flew towards the left side of the goal with a beautiful arc around the goalkeeper's ten fingers.

After Lin Quan kicked the ball, he felt it, looking at the arc of the football flying out, he raised his hands and was ready to celebrate.

Who would have thought that with a bang, the ball smashed into the post in the near corner.

Ah......h

Looking at the football that was ejected by the column, Lin Quan was stupid!

Didn't you score any of the goals?

Xiaofa on the side saw the ball fly out, walked over and rubbed Lin Quan's head.

"Hehe, it's a beautiful shot, but the arc is too big, and the next time you take up your feet, the position of touching the ball will be moved up a little bit!"

Lin Quan nodded, his expression a little embarrassed.

He was about to hit the far corner, but the arc of the ball was too exaggerated and flew back into the near corner.

If you don't score one goal, then you will score another goal.

Five minutes later, Spain made a comeback.

Iniesta saw Lin Quan run out of the open space and found him with a precise through shot.

Lin Quan's position to receive the ball was almost exactly the same as the previous shot, so he repeated his old trick and came to shoot again.

This time, he listened to Xiaofa's advice, and when he touched the ball, he swung his calf, used the inside of his foot to arc close to the arch of his foot, and kicked a ball that was not fast, but the arc was relatively large.

When the goalkeeper saw the opponent's shot, he felt a pang in his heart:

Again?

He reacted quickly, kicked the ground quickly, and then leaped high and made a sideways pounce.

But as before, this time he didn't touch the ball, and the ball flew almost past his fingertips.

The fans at the scene widened their eyes with curiosity: Will this ball still go out of bounds?

The arc of the ball was still very large, but it didn't fly back and pop off the near corner like the last time.

Seeing the football crash into the net, Lin Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

If he doesn't score this ball again, he will start to doubt his life.

Lin Quan didn't doubt life, but the other party's goalkeeper began to doubt life.

Is it so hard to pounce?

It's not like I haven't pounced on other people's shots before, why has I never had such a weird arc like this kid?

On the sidelines, Bosque saw that Lin Quan had scored, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

He smiled and hugged his old partner Tony:

"How do you feel that this kid is using Uruguay as a testing ground to practice his footwork?"

Toni nodded: "Is there this feeling, mainly because the other side didn't put enough pressure on us, and the players played more relaxed, right?" ”

Uruguay were not in the belly of the fish, they were beaten twice in 25 minutes by Spain, much to the humiliation of their players.

We know you're a world champion, but we're not muddy enough to allow you to be so presumptuous.

After the restart, Uruguay's scrambling action began to get bigger, and the attack was more simple and direct.

Their midfield is really bad, but their strikers are amazing!

Suarez, Cavani, Forlan, these three super strikers, no matter where they are placed, they are all shaking!

The Uruguayans don't play any bells and whistles with the Spaniards anymore, they go straight to the back to find their own strikers.

Rely on the individual ability of the striker to score!

Not to mention, this trick is actually quite effective.

With their superior individual ability, Suarez and Cavani have caused trouble in the Spanish backline.

However, without the support of the midfield, it is too easy for them to fall into the trap when they go it alone in the frontcourt.

Although they can cause some problems for the Spanish defenders, they can't create goals.

Bosque saw that the opponent's striker was attacking fiercely, so he let the midfielder close to the back, close to the back line, protect the back line and further compress the opponent's attacking space.

Tasware's eyes lit up when he saw Bosque's adjustment.

What a chance!

Spain's midfield is very strong, but the midfield is a group of technical players, not the type of players who have a hard style of play and are physically strong.

If they stand very open, it will be difficult for the Uruguayan players to get the ball from their feet.

But if they retreat to their back, then Uruguay have a chance.

So he waved his hand and motioned for the Uruguayan players to press up.

As long as the passing space on the field is compressed, coupled with high-intensity physical confrontation, it is as strong as Spain can not continue to play their passing.

It worked, and the Uruguayan players went on a rampage, pushing Spain's ball-handler like a mad dog.

At this time, football has become a hot potato, and no one dares to carry more at their feet, and they can't wait to pass it out as soon as they catch it.

And such a hurried pass is easy to make mistakes.

In the 32nd minute, taking advantage of a passing error by Cazorla, Uruguay quickly counterattacked after breaking the ball, and Rodriguez scored a goal to rewrite the score to 2:1.

After scoring this goal, Uruguay's morale skyrocketed and they saw hope of winning.

Although it was just a friendly match in the nature of training, it was still very attractive for them to win the World Championship.

So, after the restart, they continued to play like this, pressing, physical confrontation, and tackling with their feet.

The Spanish players felt that it was just a friendly match and that the opponent's action was so big that they were a little worried about injury.

If you get injured in such an unimportant game and it affects your performance at the club, it is not worth it.

After the psychological burden of such thoughts, they kicked even more restrained.

And the more this is the case, the more powerful the tactics of the Uruguayan side become, and the situation suddenly turns around.

Spain, who was leading the score, lost the initiative on the field and was a little pressed by the opponent.

It's not going to go on like this!

On the sidelines, Bosque was already a little anxious.

He could see that his previous adjustments had no effect at all, and instead helped him.

"Alonso, Martinez, go warm up and get ready to play!"

Before the end of the first half, Bosque couldn't sit still and was ready to make a substitution.

The reason why Spain is passive now is that the midfield is not hard enough, and Cazorla is afraid of injury and plays too restrained.

And his physical confrontation is really deviant, he can't hold the ball under the impact of the opponent, and he doesn't dare to hold the ball.

If he continues like this, he is afraid that he will concede another goal, so Bosque is ready to replace him.

Xavi Martinez and Xavi Alonso are both tough and strong defensively.

Send them up, and the Spanish midfielder will be able to withstand the opponent's strangulation.

As long as they can regain control of the midfield, the game will return to their familiar rhythm.

At that point, it will be simple for them to win.

……

On the field, Lin Quan also felt the team's problems.

So, when Cazorla received another pass from his teammate, he immediately leaned in.

Cazorla was in a hurry when the other party forced him, and when he saw Lin Quan leaning over, he immediately passed the ball to him as if he had found a life-saving straw.

After Lin Quan received the ball, the Uruguayan side immediately rushed out of the two and forced him.

After more than ten minutes of pressing, they have already grabbed their experience.

Spanish players are afraid of physical confrontation and are afraid of injury.

As long as they behave fiercely, the other party will hesitate or even retreat.

That way, they have a chance to snatch the ball from the opponent's feet.

In their opinion, Lin Quan is so young, he must be more afraid of injury than ordinary players.

So just scare him, and the kid will mess with himself.

But what surprised them was that in the face of the pressing of the two Uruguayan players, Lin Quan did not panic at all.

After receiving the ball, he calmly adjusted his pace, dodging the first player who came up to steal, and another dashing Anthony spun in circles to avoid the second player.

This action was very gorgeous, causing bursts of exclamations from the fans at the scene!

Anthony's circle is actually very aesthetically pleasing, and the reason why he will be criticized is entirely because he keeps spinning like a compass, making this kind of circle a flashy performance, which will naturally be criticized by others.

But in Lin Quan's hands, Anthony's circle is not a flashy performance, but a gorgeous and effective means of passing people.

How can the local tyrant audience in the Middle East understand this, they only feel that Lin Quan's dribbling is like an elf dancing on the court, and he uses beautiful movements to resolve the opponent's fierce pressing, like a gentle prince taming a raging beast.

They were very excited when they saw this picture, and they couldn't help but applaud and cheer for Lin Quan.

In the box of the stadium, Mansour, who bought Manchester City and invested more than a billion pounds, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart when he saw Lin Quan's gorgeous appearance, and applauded Lin Quan!

Why didn't such a great player come to Manchester City?

It must be that we don't give enough money, it must be like this!
