After Brazil's opener, it was Spain's turn to play the next day.

Completely different from the Samba Army's game schedule, Spain's order of play is difficult and then easy.

Their first game is against the strongest opponent in the group – Uruguay!

The two teams met in a friendly just a few months ago, a match in which Spain won 3-1.

Moreover, in the historical meeting between the two teams, Spain remained unbeaten with 5 wins and 5 draws, occupying an absolute advantage.

So before the game, people were more optimistic about Spain.

Uruguayans, however, don't think so.

Before the game, several strikers in the Uruguayan team said in an interview with reporters that they wanted to make a shame on Spain and break the curse of invincibility against them.

Edinson Cavani: "Spain are strong, but I've found a way to break their goal and we will end Espanyol's 22-game unbeaten run!" ”

Since losing to England in November 2011, Spain have gone 22 games unbeaten in the main draw of their national team.

This result is enough to show how dominant they have been in football in recent years!

Luis Suarez: "The Spanish defenders can't defend me and my teammates, so we're going to win this game!" ”

Although the Liverpool striker caused a biting scandal on the field, no one can deny his threat in the penalty area.

As long as he is given a chance, he is definitely capable of changing the scoreline.

The opponent's stars have spoken harshly, and the stars in the Spanish team are naturally not to be outdone.

Pique, who likes to be in the limelight, was the first to stand up and take a stand:

"Hehe, Suarez said he could break through our defenses? Is he ready to break it with his teeth? ”

This sentence is a mockery of Suarez's scandal of biting an opposing player in the Premier League two months ago.

Because of this biting move, Suarez was heavily fined by the FA and banned for a full 10 games, directly missing all the remaining games of Liverpool.

Pique stared at this scandalous attack on the other side, and the effect was immediate.

Suarez was completely enraged and directly threatened to let Pique be careful on the field.

How could Pique be frightened?

He complained directly to the Tournament Committee, believing that his personal safety had been threatened.

The tournament committee had to come forward and say that they would severely punish unsportsmanlike fouls on the field.

After being warned by the tournament committee, Suarez was honest.

The war of words between the players of both sides has attracted the attention of many fans, and this game is the most anticipated game since the start of the game, so it has attracted many fans to watch.

Half of the fans are the fans of each team, and half are fans from Brazil.

For the Brazilian fans, this game is all about fun.

Uruguay and them are old enemies, and there are many grievances between the two sides.

So Brazilian fans will not support Uruguay.

Spain, on the other hand, are Brazilians' biggest rivals in the Confederations Cup, so they will not be cheering them on.

However, there are some exceptions, and that is the Chinese fans living in Brazil.

The match attracted a lot of Chinese Americans to watch the game, and they came here to enjoy the wonderful game between the two teams.

Another purpose is to see Lin Quan, a Chinese genius!

"Brother Lin Zi, look here!"

In the warm-up session before the game, as soon as Lin Quan came out, he felt bursts of cheers from the sidelines.

Hearing the long-lost language in a foreign country made Lin Quan a little trance.

But when he saw the faces of the people who called his name, a knowing smile appeared on his face.

He waved at the fans, signaling that he had noticed them.

Unexpectedly, this move made these fans excited!

", Emperor Lin has greeted me!"

"Bullshit, you're greeting me!"

"Don't be stinky and beautiful, shout together, let Emperor Lin come and sign for us!"

So, this group of Chinese fans chanted in unison:

"Lin Huang, we are your fans, can you sign us?"

Because the game has not started yet, although there are some noisy sounds on the field, there is no uniform cheering sound.

Therefore, the neat shouts of dozens of them were clearly heard by Lin Quan on the field.

Not only Lin Quan, but even his teammates noticed.

"Lin, is that your fan?"

Morata leaned over with an envious look on his face and asked curiously.

Why didn't anyone cheer me on?

Anyway, I'm also a superstar for the national team and Real Madrid!

"It should be, I'll go over it!"

Lin Quan picked up a football from the ground and walked to the sideline with the football in his arms.

As he walked, he borrowed a pen from the staff on the sidelines and signed his name on the football.

"Thank you for coming to cheer me on, this football is for you!"

After Lin Quan handed the football to this group of fans, he signed several more people, and then continued to return to the field for training.

And until Lin Quan left, this group of people did not react:

"Damn, Emperor Lin actually signed for us!"

"I'm sorry brothers, I was too excited just now to hear clearly, did Lin Huang just speak Chinese?"

"Yes, standard Mandarin is more accurate than what my Chinese people speak!"

In the crowd, an overseas Chinese who came from China to travel said:

"Alas, it's a pity that Lin Quan has already played for the Spanish national team, otherwise, it would be great if he played for the national team!"

"You can let Emperor Lin go, you don't know what the situation of our national team is, it's a big dye vat, whoever goes in will be taken badly!"

"That's right, the national football team is so completely rotten, it's useless to go to one or two superstars!"

……

Lin Quan didn't know what these fans were discussing after he left, and after he returned to the field, he seriously put his mind on training.

However, during training, Lin Quan noticed that someone on the field had been staring at him.

He looked over curiously and saw that it was a Uruguayan player wearing a headband and thick hair.

When he saw the other party, Lin Quan recognized who the other party was - Diego Fran!

Seeing that Lin Quan noticed him, Diego Fran smiled at him and withdrew his gaze.

As a super scorer who has created 30+ goals in a single season at Atletico Madrid, Diego Fran seems to see the shadow of his youth when he sees Lin Quan.

It's good to be young!

If only I could be as young as him now?

At the age of thirty-four, Diego Fran is at the end of his career.

After being swept away by Inter Milan, he had no goals to play in the top five leagues and had to return to play in the Brazilian league.

Therefore, this Confederations Cup is probably his last chance to fight for his country.

With his current state, in next year's World Cup, he is a year older, and I am afraid that he will not be able to be selected for the national team squad.

So, this match means a lot to Diego Fran!

……

After the warm-up, the players from both teams returned to their dressing rooms to get ready for the game.

Bosque emphasised his tactical set-up in the dressing room, and this time Spain should be self-centered.

As for Uruguay, their coach took the time to advise his players on the precautions.

"You have already seen the strength of the opponent's No. 30 last time, and the three goals we conceded are all related to him, so we must stare him to death in this game, and we must not give him any chance, understand?"

"Understood, Chief!"

"Very good, let's play!"

Taswareh stood in the doorway, high-fived the players on the pitch one by one, and watched as his players marched out like warriors.

For Uruguay, it was their return to the Confederations Cup after a 16-year absence.

Uruguay is looking forward to a good result in this Confederations Cup, at least not losing the first game!

But the opponent is too strong, so they don't have to win me.

Therefore, the whole Uruguayan team was mentally stressed in this game and showed their best form to deal with the enemy.

Compared to them, the Spanish players are much more relaxed in their mental state.

Especially the several Barcelona players in the front court, talking and laughing with each other, there is no tension at all.

And the opponent's calm and calm made the Uruguayan players feel humiliated.

Hey, we're a strong team!

The team that has won the Copa America the most times in all of South America!

How dare you ignore us like this?

The Uruguayan players are furious!

Immediately after the opening, they launched an attack on Spain.

The Uruguayan fans at the scene were all excited to see their team playing so actively, raising their voices and cheering for the team.

"They played so fiercely at the beginning, and they ran out of energy in the second half, I see what they do!"

"Hehe, trying to get the ball at the feet of our Spanish team, they miscalculated!"

Compared with the excited Uruguayan fans, the Spanish fans at the scene seemed very calm.

They have seen a lot of such scenes, and they have long been surprised!

In the face of Uruguay's aggressive scrambling, the Spanish players increased the frequency of their passes.

The ball barely stays at the feet of any one person for more than two seconds, which makes it impossible for the Uruguayan players to scramble aggressively.

If you want to get the ball off the feet of the Spanish players, you can't rely on these few people up front.

They need to put in more troops!

But if they really do that, then Spain's terrifying attacking combination in the front court will teach them how to behave!

As a result, after only five minutes of grabbing, the Uruguayans' offensive was unsustainable.

"What is Uruguay doing? Either they just grab together, or they don't grab at all, it's a complete waste of the players' energy like them. ”

In the audience on the sidelines, the internationals of the Brazilian national team, who came to watch the game, were very puzzled by Uruguay's choice.

"Maybe it's because they've lost to Spain before, so they're a little scared?"

Real Madrid left-back Marcelo, who has an explosive hairstyle, knows Barcelona's strength better than anyone because he has suffered Barcelona's losses in the league.

The central axis of the Spanish national team is mainly built by Barcelona, and the configuration of the front court is even stronger.

There was no Lin Quan as a pilot before, they always seemed to be missing something, and the offensive firepower was slightly insufficient.

But now, with this super winger whose strength is comparable to Messi, Spain has directly evolved to a full form.

How powerful Spain is in this state, I'm afraid only the teams that have actually played against them can experience.

And Uruguay just has that experience!

"Uruguay's backline is average, but the forward line is very strong, they should not give up their advantages like this, but should take the initiative to develop their strengths!"

Thiago Silva, who is known as the world's No. 1 defender, is not very optimistic about Uruguay's backline.

On the contrary, he is more afraid of the opponent's forward line.

If he were to defend Suarez and Cavani, he wasn't sure he would be able to defend it.

"Before the battle, Uruguay is afraid that this time is gone!"

The rest of Brazil's players looked down on Uruguay after hearing this analysis from the two big brothers in the team.

"Uruguay are not as good as their opponents on paper, but even if they lose, this game should be able to force something out of Spain, which will help us!"

Alves, a defender from Barcelona, spoke.

He was the most familiar with Spain's style of play in the Brazilian team, and when he said this, everyone stopped talking and quietly began to watch the game.

……

After Uruguay stopped fighting, Spain's attack began to gain momentum.

In the 5th minute of the game, Lin Quan took the ball and Pedro crossed and switched.

Pedro made a pick-and-roll similar to a basketball court, blocking defenders for Lin Quan, giving him space to start and break through.

Lin Quan didn't waste the chances created by his team-mates, he quickly burst into the box with the ball and drew two defenders to complete the cross.

It was a low ball, very fast and very close to goal.

If anyone can touch it on its trajectory, it will most likely be a goal.

Unfortunately, David Silva's tackle in front of the goal failed to touch the ball, and the football slid past the goal, scaring the Uruguayans into a cold sweat.

After missing this opportunity, Silva gave Lin Quan a thumbs up and signaled that he passed well.

It's just that his height is limited, and he doesn't have long legs of more than one meter, otherwise this ball really has a chance.

Although the opportunity was missed, Spain's attack was already gaining momentum.

In the 10th minute, Alba sent a low cross from the left, and Cesc Fabregas stopped the ball about 16 meters in front of goal and shot quickly.

The ball bypassed the goalkeeper's finger but was denied by the left-hand post.

Spain missed two chances in five minutes in quick succession.

But Spain's attack was not over, and Iniesta, who followed up with a follow-up shot, kicked the ball in the goalkeeper's face and knocked the opponent unconscious.

The goalkeeper of Uruguay actually subconsciously wanted to dodge the ball, but the ball was too fast to dodge and was smashed in the face by the ball.

The good news is that the ball didn't go in, and the bad news is that the goalkeeper seems to have a bit of a concussion.

So, after ten minutes of play, Uruguay had to make a passive substitution.

They replaced the injured Muslera with second goalkeeper Juan Castillo.

As it turned out, the substitution was an absolute failure.

The Uruguayan second goal, who didn't have time to warm up, was attacked by Spain only one minute after coming on the field!

In the 11th minute, Iniesta and Lin Quan almost broke through the opponent's defense after hitting the wall in succession.

Uruguay's defenders were all drawn to the two, with huge openings on the other side.

When Andres Iniesta saw the opportunity, he decisively kicked up and passed the ball to Cesc Fabregas on the right side.

Cesc Fabregas's furious shot caused the goalkeeper to make a save, and Lin Quan in the penalty area shrewdly grabbed the goalkeeper to control the ball before completing the follow-up shot, rewriting the score to 1:0.

Spain get off to a dream start!
