In the 76th minute, Pogba was picked up by Xavi in midfield with his trademark turn move.

Seeing that Xavi was about to deliver a fatal pass, Pogba didn't know what to think, and directly raised his foot and stepped on Xavi's ankle.

Although Xavi gave up touching the ball at the first time and made a move to close his feet, he was still unable to dodge and was kicked down by Pogba.

After falling to the ground, Harvey looked like he was injured, and rolled on the ground holding his feet in pain.

The Spanish players rushed over and surrounded Pogba in the middle.

"Do you fucking want to kill?"

The hot-tempered Ramos was about to reach out and beat someone.

Although he and Xavi were bitter rivals when they were at club, they were teammates in the national team.

Seeing his teammates being bullied, Ramos stepped up for the first time.

The French players rushed over to protect their teammates and separate Pogba from the Spanish players.

Players on both sides pushed and yelled at each other, and the conflict was on the verge of breaking out, and the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense.

Lin Quan saw that Harvey's injury was very serious, and hurriedly waved to the sidelines to ask the team doctor to come up.

The Spanish team doctor rushed up with a medical kit, and Xavi's socks were removed, revealing his visibly red and swollen ankles.

"Soft tissue contusion, bones are fine!"

The team doctor was relieved to see that Xavi's ankle was not deformed.

However, soft tissue contusions are not a minor injury, and for a player of Xavi's age, such an injury should be rested for at least 6-8 weeks.

If the recovery rate is slow, it may take more than 2 months.

Seeing this, the Spanish players were even more angry.

The referee was very decisive and showed Pogba a red card and sent him off.

His stampede was a very bad foul, and not only did he receive a red card, but he could even receive an additional penalty.

Pogba's mind went blank, and he didn't know what he was trying to write or why he was doing it.

After seeing the referee show him a red card, he lowered his head, walked to the sidelines silently, and walked straight to the locker room without greeting the coach and others.

Deschamps was so angry with Pogba that he let Pogba mark Xavi, but he didn't let him defend the opponent with a bad foul.

Now it's okay, the big score is behind and there is one less player, and they will lose this game!

And it's the kind that loses and loses!

After Xavi retired from injury, the Spanish side immediately made personnel changes.

Martinez came on to replace the injured Xavi.

Neither Casey nor Puyol played in this game, and the captain's armband was worn on Xavi's body.

He did not hand over the captain's armband to Ramos before leaving the field, but handed it to Lin Quan.

Lin Quan felt a little inappropriate, and was about to excuse himself, when he heard Harvey speak:

"Lin, I can't continue to play, wear it to win this match instead of me!"

Lin Quan nodded heavily, no longer shirked, took the captain's armband and put it on his left arm.

This is the first time in Lin Quan's career that he has worn the captain's armband, and he is also the captain's armband of the national team.

The reporters at the scene recorded the moment with their cameras, and the armband between him and Xavi, the old and young, seemed to be a sign of the new and old heritage of the Spanish national team.

……

On the sidelines, Bosque looked at Harvey on the stretcher with a worried expression.

Hearing the team doctor say that Xavi could miss two months, Bosque's face was very ugly.

Two months, which means Xavi will miss all the remaining matches in the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers in Spain.

"Damn it!"

Bosque smacked the rim of the dugout with his fist and cursed under his breath.

Xavi is old, but he is still very important to the Spanish team.

Without his sitting, Spain's midfield will drop a lot.

……

After being sent off, France could no longer launch a threatening attack.

An angry Spain raced around their opponent's goal in the closing stages of the game, and the French players were pinned down in their own half, unable to fight back.

This scene disappointed the French fans at the scene, and many fans began to leave the stadium early.

The team is behind and there is no hope of an equaliser.

If they watched it any longer, they were afraid that they would witness a tragedy, so they simply stopped watching.

Since Xavi and Iniesta were replaced one after another, Lin Quan, who wore the captain's armband, played the role of the Spanish midfield commander on the field at this time.

For this position, Lin Quan did not show any discomfort.

He came from a midfielder and played playmaking in the front court.

Under Lin Quan's command, the rhythm of the game was firmly in the hands of Spain.

In the final stage of the game, Spain went on the offensive.

In the 85th minute, Spain's pass broke through the French defence and the ball came to Alonso's feet.

Alonso shook off the angle and opted for a long-range shot, but the ball was not held down and flew into the stands.

Two minutes later, France's marking leaked and Villa ran out of space.

Lin Quan sent a strange arc pass, and the ball bypassed the defender and rolled in front of Villa.

But French goalkeeper Lloris struck in time to defuse the crisis.

Lin Quan was really convinced, and his teammates' shooting skills were a bit against the sky.

The ground can't work, so let's get a high ball, Ramos has been in good form lately, maybe he can score one?

In stoppage time, Spain were awarded a corner.

Lin Quan hoisted the ball into the penalty area, Ramos fought hard for the top, although he hit the ball, but he didn't make any effort, and the ball was easily confiscated by Lloris.

After missing this opportunity, Spain were unable to extend their lead.

At the end of 90 minutes, with goals from Lin Quan and Andres Iniesta, Spain beat France 3-0 away.

The moment the referee blew the final whistle, the French players were visibly relieved.

It's finally over, and they won't be able to hold it anymore.

The siege of the Spaniards was so terrifying that if they could choose for themselves, they would never want to run into this Spanish team again.

"Lin, can you exchange jerseys with me?"

Benzema, who performed average in this game, solemnly came to Lin Quan and asked him to exchange his jersey.

Seeing Benzema's movements so fast, Ribery, who had already taken off his jersey and was walking towards Lin Quan in his hand, scratched his head a little embarrassed.

Damn, I wish I had known to move faster.

"Well, no problem!"

Hearing Lin Quan's answer, Benzema smiled, and smiled very silly.

Lin Quan suddenly understood why Benzema had always been the one who carried the blame in the Real Madrid team, and your harmless appearance was easy to bully at first glance, so you naturally became the designated bearer.

With the exception of Benzema, the rest of the French squad was not interested, with only a handful exchanging shirts with Spanish players.

The rest walked off the pitch at the end of the game and went back to their dressing room.

Many of the French fans in the Stade de France who did not leave the stadium were attacking and insulting them.

They don't want to stay in this place anymore!

Back in the dressing room, the players ignored Pogba, who made a big mistake, and all went to their wardrobe in silence and turned out towels and clothes to rinse.

There was a thud, and the door to the locker room was pushed open.

France coach Didier Deschamps walked into the dressing room with a furious look on his face.

His eyes swept across the dressing room to Pogba, cowering in the corner.

Pogba kept his head down, far away from his teammates, afraid to talk to his teammates, and his teammates didn't seem willing to talk to him.

Deschamps was furious, but when he saw Pogba aggrieved and staying in the corner, he relented.

"Paul, follow me to the press conference!"

Pogba looked up in surprise at his manager.

The other players also stopped their movements and turned their heads to look at Deschamps.

Coach, he's okay, right?

Bring a player who fouled maliciously on the court and was ejected to the post-game press conference?

Seeing that Pogba did not move, Deschamps was furious:

"Are you going to be a coward for the rest of your life?"

"Go, follow me to the press conference to apologize to the opponent in public, it's not terrible to do something wrong, it's terrible to not have the courage to admit mistakes and face mistakes!"

He had already anticipated how the French media would slam Pogba and criticize him as incomplete and shitty.

If he doesn't do anything, Pogba will most likely be ruined by this game.

If you don't want Pogba to bear the psychological shadow for the rest of your life, you must stand up and protect him at this time.

However, it will also require Pogba's own cooperation.

If he can't support the wall in the mud, then Deschamps can't help him!

Pogba's emotional intelligence is not low, and he understands that this is the manager protecting himself.

So he nodded heavily and followed Deschamps to the post-match press conference.

On the Spanish side, it was Lin Quan who attended the press conference with Bosque.

"I'm sorry I acted irrationally on the field, I apologize for the damage my actions have caused to my opponent, and I hope Xavi can recover soon!"

After Pogba came up, he bowed directly to the camera at the scene and apologized, and his attitude was very sincere.

The reporters at the scene picked up the cameras in their hands one after another and recorded this scene with a click.

A Spanish journalist indignantly said:

"Pogba, do you think it was your poor performance and irrational behavior that dragged down the team and caused France to lose this game?"

This question puts all the blame for France's defeat on Pogba.

Pogba is responsible, but not so guilty.

Spanish journalists were not very receptive to Pogba's apology and deliberately used such questions to make things difficult for him.

"I'm sorry that I failed to live up to the trust of my coach and team-mates, as well as the expectations of the fans."

Pogba's attitude is still sincere: "In the future, I will redouble my efforts and strive to reach the heights that the fans expect as soon as possible!" ”

A French journalist asked Deschamps:

"Coach Deschamps, will you still use a young, reckless player like Pogba in the future?"

Obviously, French journalists are also not too optimistic about Pogba's future in the national team.

Pogba was so bad today that it was hard for them to trust him anymore.

'Of course, the team needs fresh blood at all times and I will continue to look at the young players who have done well in the major leagues and if they meet my requirements, I will give them the opportunity to play for the national team!'

Deschamps is now really determined to renew the French team, and he no longer expects these old people in the team.

If France wants to do well in next year's World Cup and three years from now at the European Championships, they have to start rebuilding now!

The team's midfield will be the focus of his rebuild.

Not only Pogba, but Griezmann, who has performed well in La Liga this season, is also the focus of his attention.

French journalists did not buy Deschamps' answer:

"Aren't you worried about young players playing as badly as Pogba on the pitch? You know, we have almost lost the hope of qualifying for the World Cup now! ”

After two consecutive defeats to Spain, they have largely lost hope of fighting for top of the group.

France can only hope to finish second in the group and play the play-offs as group runners-up in a bid to get past the play-offs and reach the World Cup.

"Ahem, we need a little bit more patience against young players, they need a growth process, you can't expect them to come up and put on a really good performance!"

There was a burst of boos at the scene, and the Spanish reporter said very shamelessly:

"Then why is Lin Quan, who is only seventeen years old, integrated so well in the Spanish team and performed very well in every game?"

The subtext of this sentence is to imply that the French are inferior to the Spaniards, otherwise why are our young players so good and yours so crotch-pulling?

"Ahem, a genius like Lin Quan can't be compared with an average player."

Deschamps's words caused an uproar among the reporters at the scene:

What happened that the coach of the French team actually praised the Spanish players?

Got the wrong script, right?

Shouldn't that be the Spanish manager?

Bosque looked vigilant: Didn't this kid take a fancy to the treasure of our team, right?

So he also began to sing praises and praised Lin Quan to the sky.

The Spanish reporters gave the two of them a round of applause.

The team won by a big score, and the newcomers in their team won the competition against the newcomers of the French team.

This made them look down on each other in front of their French counterparts, and they all wanted to turn their nostrils to the sky and look down on each other.

The reporters in France were angry, but helpless.

Even their own head coach betrayed them, what else can they say?

If you want to blame, you can only blame that there are no players on their side who can compete with Lin Quan!

……

Deschamps was right, and after the game, Pogba's poor performance in this game became the target of criticism from French fans.

Although Pogba chose to apologize immediately, Spanish fans were still dissatisfied with him and joined the army of condemning him.

In fact, it was not only Pogba who was scolded, but even Deschamps himself was scolded.

Fans accused him of not knowing people and using people inappropriately.

Having to use young players in such an important and crucial game not only had no effect at all, but also made the team lose so badly.

The French media are very pessimistic, feeling that there is a huge gap between their own team and a top team like Spain.

France is no longer the top team in Europe!

Unlike the general pessimism in the French media, the Spanish media and fans are much more optimistic.

After this game, Spain's lead in the group is very large.

They are six points clear of second-placed and only need to win two of their next three games to secure top spot in their group and qualify for the World Cup.

At a time when the whole country of Spain is jubilant and confident about the future.

Lin Quan was a little worried in his heart.

Spain's squad has seen a noticeable ageing.

Puyol, Xavi and others are all older.

After this World Cup, they will retire one after another.

There is a big gap between the level of the young generation in Spain and these world-class players.

On the other hand, on the French side, under Deschamps' policy of boldly promoting new players, they will sooner or later complete a revival.

In the near future, Spain will have another fierce rival in the international arena.

……

After the match against France, Lin Quan did not return to Spain with his teammates.

Instead, fly back to Germany directly from Paris.

He had just landed when he received a call from his agent, Perre.

"Someone is looking for me to endorse?"

"Yes, and it's a big contract!"

On the other end of the phone, Perret answered in the affirmative!
