On the field, after passing the two Uruguayan players, Lin Quan was like a magnet, attracting the attention of almost the entire Uruguayan team.

Several Uruguayan players who were close immediately abandoned their respective defenders and rushed towards Lin Quan.

Lin Quan saw the opponent's posture, decisively got up and passed the ball, and calmly passed the ball to Iniesta, who was in an empty position.

The defenders around Andres Iniesta were drawn away by Lin Quan, leaving him unmarked now.

He took the ball and stepped forward, caught the attention of two Uruguayan defenders and passed it to Juan Mata on the wing.

Juan Mata received the ball and cut inside, burst into the box and aimed at the goal with a cold shot.

Uruguay goalkeeper Muslera made a superb save to keep out Mata's high-quality shot.

Although Spain's attack failed to score, it scared the Uruguayan players into a cold sweat.

They didn't dare to put in heavy troops to go to the opponent's half to press like before.

On the Spanish midfield's side, because of Lin Quan's initiative to retreat and receive the ball, their pressure on the ball was suddenly reduced a lot.

With each other in mind, the tempo fell into the hands of the Spanish team.

During this period, Lin Quan's possession of the ball increased significantly, and he consciously increased the time and number of times he held the ball to attract Uruguay's defenders and relieve pressure on his teammates.

It just so happens that he is the most dangerous of the Spanish players on the field, so when he receives the ball, the Uruguayan players will immediately split two or even three to force him.

Lin Quan plays very smartly, if the opponent's pressing player makes a mistake, he will choose to pass the opponent, break through to get the space to dribble, whether it is passing the ball or attacking himself, he can create a threat in front of Uruguay's goal.

If the opponent doesn't give him a chance and doesn't make a mistake, he will choose the most appropriate passing route to help his teammates complete the attack after attracting enough defenders.

In this case, Lin Quan seems to have become the organizational core of the Spanish front court on the field.

The Spanish attack in the front court has become much more fluid after he has combed and distributed.

The power of Uruguay's pressing tactics has also begun to wane, and football is no longer as hot potato as it used to be.

Taswareh quickly realised the important role of the opposition up front, so he instructed his players to have the team's defensive midfielders keep an eye on Lin Quan, restricting his space and passing the ball, and not allowing him to take such a calm command.

Monaco's former captain, Uruguayan defender Pérez, who now plays for Serie A side Bologna, accepted the task without hesitation.

Perez is 30 years old and is known for his physical strength, defensive ferocity, and short temper.

He has been a stalwart of the team's defence, both at club and with country.

All kinds of dirty work is tiring, and others are unwilling to do it, but he is very happy.

Because it's a great opportunity to show his worth!

After Perez came up, he began to harass Lin Quan with all kinds of small actions.

He has a lot of experience, and when doing these small actions, he will observe the referee's position in advance and avoid the referee's sight as much as possible, so as not to be caught by the referee.

This makes the player who was violated by him, even if he protested to the referee, the referee did not pay much attention.

Lin Quan looked at this posture and knew that he had met an old ball ruffian.

He is not the kind of honest person who can't fight back and scold.

Your hands are not clean, do small movements, won't I?

Taking advantage of a catch, he turned around and Perez was pushing his knee against his hip, completely unaware of the movement of his arm.

When Lin Quan turned around, a very hidden elbow hit Perez in the ribs, almost smashing him into the air.

Taking advantage of Perez's gasp in pain, Lin Quan decisively chose to break through with the ball, and after attracting the defenders, he sent a straight kick to assist Mata to complete the goal, rewriting the score to 3:1.

Perez ran to the referee to protest Lin Quan's elbow strike, believing that the opponent had fouled the ball and the goal was invalid.

The referee did not see Lin Quan's foul action and was skeptical of Perez's protest.

He has heard of Lin Quan's reputation, this kid plays football very cleanly, and he walks the technical flow, not the physical flow, has he never heard of him maliciously hurting people on the field?

On the contrary, it is Perez, who is notorious on the court, and no matter how you look at it, you think he is the one who can make small moves.

Perez's protest was ineffective, and he was angry to death.

The eyes in his eyes staring at Lin Quan also became fierce.

Lin Quan got the advantage and knew that the other party was likely to retaliate against him next.

So he didn't get entangled with Perez, he started to increase his running, and he circled around the referee, basically not out of the referee's sight.

Perez didn't dare to do it in front of the referee, if he dared to commit a crime against the wind, he would be sent off directly with a red card.

But this only made the anger in his heart even stronger!

In the 44th minute of the first half, under the pressure of the Uruguayan players, Pedro's pass was a little hasty, and the power was a little smaller.

As a result, after the ball was passed, it turned into a knife hill ball, and players on both sides had a chance to grab the ball.

Lin Quan ran to the ball as soon as possible, and Perez's eyes lit up on the side, this is a good opportunity!

He also pretended to run towards the football, but deliberately slowed down on the road, giving people the feeling that he couldn't catch up with Lin Quan.

However, when Lin Quan was about to get the ball, he seized the opportunity and immediately fell to the ground to put the tackle, as if he wanted to destroy the ball through the tackle.

It's just that, judging from the way he showed off his spikes, he didn't go to the ball with the ball, but to the people.

"Danger!"

On the sidelines, Bosque and the members of the Spanish coaching staff were shocked into a cold sweat when they saw each other show off their shoe spikes.

Lin Quan seemed to have not noticed Perez who was putting a tackle on the side, he took the first step to receive the ball, and stepped on the ball with his right foot, as if to observe who to pass to.

In the process of returning to the game, Perez saw that the opponent stopped in place and did not dodge, and he was overjoyed:

This time there is!

With a bang, there was a muffled snort on the court, and Lin Quan and Perez fell to the ground one after another.

The two of them rolled on the ground with their calves on their hands, screaming loudly.

The other was lying motionless on the lawn with his ankles clutched.

Seeing this, the referee dared to be careless, and immediately stopped the game and came to the scene to check the injuries of the two.

"Bastard!"

"Damn murderous butcher!"

On the long side, Bosque urged Spain's team doctor to hurry up and curse in the direction of the Uruguayan dugout.

In his opinion, this bad foul by the Uruguayan midfielder must have been instructed by the Uruguayan coaching staff.

If Lin Quan has any strengths and weaknesses, he will definitely appeal to FIFA and ask them to deal with the foulers harshly, and he will definitely not let go of these guys.

The Spanish players were also nervous, and Iniesta, Pedro and others, who were closest to the foul site, rushed up and surrounded Lin Quan to ask for warmth.

From their point of view, the opponent's foul just now may cause serious damage to Lin Quan's ankle.

Thinking of Lin Quan's age, the team members felt a little gloomy in their hearts.

He is still so young, and experiencing such a serious injury will probably have an irreversible impact on his future career!

Thinking of this, the sadness in their hearts turned into anger, and they immediately wanted to go to Uruguay for trouble.

As a result, before they could take action, Lin Quan on the ground suddenly sat up:

"I said, brothers, are you going to let me lie on the ground all the time, aren't you going to pull me?"

"Lin, aren't you hurt?"

Iniesta was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly reached out with Pedro to pull Lin Quan up.

After Lin Quan stood up, he moved his ankle, and there was a slight redness at the ankle, but it was not serious.

"I'm not hurt, but that guy isn't!"

The big screen at the scene began to replay the slow motion of Perez's foul just now:

Just as he was about to tackle Lin Quan, Lin Quan suddenly pulled the ball, just enough to let the ball appear in the position he was standing on.

Perez's foot hit the ball first, bringing down Lin Quan, and it looked like he was kicked down, but in fact Perez didn't touch Lin Quan.

The referee didn't care about that, he thought Perez had raised his foot too high, it was at least a dangerous move, and he should be booked.

So he gave Perez, who was rolling on the ground, a topaz card.

Perez seemed to be really injured, sweating profusely at this time, and he didn't have the heart to protest the referee's decision.

He didn't kick Lin Quan, but when Lin Quan fell, he smashed Perez himself impartially.

Especially in order to maintain balance, when Lin Quan landed, he supported the ground with his elbows.

This was a big blow to Perez, and he felt as if his ribs had been broken.

The team doctor in Uruguay checked it and it was really broken.

It seems that more than one has been broken, at least two adjacent ribs have been broken.

However, they can't blame the opposing player, because they did it first.

Perez was injured and could not continue the game, and Uruguay had to make passive substitutions.

Having lost their defensive general, their defence looked even more vulnerable to the Spanish attack.

Fortunately, there was not much time left in the first half, and after Uruguay gritted their teeth and held on for a few minutes, the referee blew the whistle that the first half of the game was over.

They didn't allow Spain to extend their lead and walked to the dressing room with their heads down and frustrated with their heads down with a frustrated face down their faces.

On the other hand, on the Spanish side, the teammates were relieved to see that Lin Quan was not injured.

Surrounded by a joke and a 2-1 lead, he returned to the locker room.

After Bosque walked into the locker room, he seriously looked Lin Quan up and down.

After making sure that the other party was really not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he immediately announced: "Lin, you can rest in the second half, let Villa and Torres play to find their form." ”

With Spain already two goals ahead and the opposition losing their defender, Bosque feels that there is basically no suspense in this game.

In addition, this was only a friendly match, and the opponent had a lot of fouls, so he didn't dare to let Lin Quan continue to stay on the court.

If Lin Quan was really injured, then Spain's losses would be too great.

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

Lin Quan happily accepted Bosque's arrangement, so he sat on the bench with Xavi and others to watch the game in the second half.

In the second half, Spain made a lot of personnel changes, with Alonso, David Silva, Martinez, Pique, Villa, Torres and others coming on one after another.

After bringing on Alonso and Martinez, Spain's backfield became extremely tough and not afraid of the opponent's strangulation.

However, because of the loss of Lin Quan, the most threatening point in the frontcourt, their organizational attack was not very smooth.

Huluwa and Holy Baby ran very aggressively in the front court, but they just couldn't break the goal.

Several forwards on the Uruguayan side also worked hard, but under the strong defense of Spain's backfield, they couldn't find any chance to score.

In the end, the two sides exchanged blanks in the second half and ended the warm-up match with a score of 3:1.

After the match, the Spanish players attended an event in Doha en masse at the invitation of their sponsors.

The event was to build momentum for Qatar's bid to host the World Cup, and the Middle Eastern tycoons seem to have been hooked on football lately.

Not only is he crazy about buying teams in Europe, but he is also spending a lot of money to bid for a World Cup on his doorstep.

The richest Qataris are bidding to host the 2022 World Cup, and in order to increase their chances of success, they are keen to increase their voice with a team with a huge influence in the football world, such as the Spanish national team.

The Spanish Football Federation doesn't really want to attend such a commercial event, because it will increase the burden on the players.

But helplessly, the other party gave too much!

Spain's warm-up match received a total of more than 8 million euros from sponsors.

And the round-trip air tickets and accommodation fees are all covered by them.

Not only that, but the Middle Eastern tyrant who made a generous effort also gave every member of the Spanish team a meeting gift.

Lin Quan got a Cartier watch, he didn't study much about the watch and didn't know the exact value, but according to his teammates, it was worth 100,000 euros.

The other party is so generous, it is really unreasonable for them not to give face.

Finally, a series of commercial activities ended, the team was disbanded at the Qatar airport, and the players flew back to their clubs.

After this match, Spain's next international competition will not be until the group stage of the World Cup against Finland in March.

……

On February 9, the 21st round of the Bundesliga officially began.

Because of the proximity to the national team's game, the likes of Lin Quan, De Bruyne and Elia were all put on the bench by Schaff for this game.

Their opponents, Stuttgart, are currently 12th in the table and, like Hamburg before them, are the type of team that has no worries about relegation and no hope of competing for the title.

So, in this game, I thought that Werder Bremen, which lacked a large number of main players, would play very hard.

Unexpectedly, in the first half, Werder Bremen's substitute midfielder, Ekitzy, who has not made many appearances this season, ushered in a personal explosion.

He scored twice in the first half, scoring two goals and setting up team-mate Hunt for a goal.

Before half-time, Werder Bremen almost killed the suspense of the game with a score of 3:0.

In the second half, Stuttgart tried to launch a counter-attack, and Traore pulled a goal back in the attack.

But with key players such as Lin Quan and Kevin De Bruyne coming off the bench in the 65th minute, the situation on the pitch began to turn one-sided.

In the 78th minute, Lin Quan assisted Hunter to score his second goal, helping him score a brace, and the score became 4:1.

In the 90th minute, Werder Bremen had another good chance when Lin Quan chose to assist his team-mate in the face of an empty goal and passed the ball to De Bruyne.

Kevin De Bruyne accepted the gift with a smile and scored Werder Bremen's fifth goal of the game.

In the end, Werder Bremen beat Stuttgart 5-1 away from home to make it three wins in a row in the second half of the season.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Quan, who contributed two assists in this game, surpassed Bayern's Ribery in the assist list and came to second place in the assist list, second only to teammate De Bruyne.

De Bruyne has 17 assists so far, two more than Linquan.

With 13 rounds left in the league, Lin Quan still has hope of being able to catch up with his teammates.

However, Kevin De Bruyne has also clearly become interested in brushing assists after realising that his number of assists is close to the Bundesliga's all-time record.

Historically, the Bundesliga's assist record was set by Kevin De Bruyne himself at Wolfsburg with 21 assists in a single season.

This season, thanks to Werder Bremen's superior attacking firepower in front, De Bruyne's assist efficiency has been greatly improved.

He has a good chance of breaking the Bundesliga record two years ahead of schedule.
