Chapter 11: Pele: I'm optimistic about Brazil winning the championship! Brazil: I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!

Lin Quan nodded silently, didn't say much, and immediately used a fierce scramble to let Pirlo see his defensive ability.

That's right, Lin Quan's defensive ability is indeed not strong, but this guy's physical fitness is good!

Pirlo is 177 tall and weighs only 69 kilograms.

Lin is 173 tall and weighs 73 kilograms.

In addition, Lin Quan is ten years younger than Pirlo, so that the physical confrontation ability of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

Lin Quan couldn't snatch the ball from Pirlo's feet, and he didn't plan to do so.

He simply gave Pirlo intensity, interfering with his receiving and passing, so that Pirlo could not take the ball and pass comfortably.

Andrea Pirlo is Italy's midfield brain and the most important link in the Italian system.

Restricting his shot would be tantamount to cutting off an arm of Italy.

Sure enough, after Lin Quan entangled Pirlo, Italy's offensive firepower plummeted.

On the contrary, the Spanish side took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's attack and launched several threatening attacks.

In the 68th minute, Xavi took a corner kick from the right, and Ramos jumped high in the middle to head the ball slightly high.

In the 75th minute, Lin Quan broke through and passed, and Iniesta sent a pass that broke through the Italian defense.

Pedro, who was outflanked in front of goal, was blocked by Buffon with his legs, and Spain missed the opportunity to extend the score.

In the 77th minute, Xiaofa sent a long-distance diagonal pass in his own half, and the football flew over most of the field and found Lin Quan who came to the side.

Lin Quan plugged in at high speed and received the football, cut inside with the ball, passed Bonucci, who was dragging the defense, and entered the penalty area!

The ball was passed over 60 metres away, and the Italians simply didn't have time to settle down to defend because of the speed they had.

After passing Bonucci, Lin Quan got the opportunity to go one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

Buffon chose to attack this time, and when he was close to Lin Quan, he stared at Lin Quan with all his attention, ready to save at any time.

In this encounter, Buffon's situation is even worse than the last time.

Italy's defenders are still far away from Lin Quan, who has more time to complete this attack.

Lin Quan glanced at Buffon and decisively hit the door.

This is a boccia ball that not only plays at a tricky angle, but also has a high speed.

Seeing the other party's kick on the door, Buffon secretly said in his heart that it was not good.

In order to prevent being passed, he did not choose to completely press his center of gravity, but in doing so, he would save the boccia ball at a speed of half a beat slower than normal.

If the master makes a move, this half beat is very deadly.

Buffon's reaction speed is already top-notch, and when he saw Lin Quan hitting the goal, he had already stretched out his legs to intercept.

But the ball was a step quicker than him, sliding past him before he could reach out and intercept.

Failing to touch the ball, Buffon could only hope that the opponent's shot was wide of the goal!

But unfortunately, this kind of thing did not happen.

The angle of the ball was quite tricky, and the ball flew almost into the net against the inside post.

Even if Buffon made a timely block, he might not be able to touch the ball.

What a horrible guy!

Thinking of this, Buffon's eyes changed when he looked at Lin Quan.

He thought of the top shooters he had fought against, and Lin Quan felt like these people at this time.

……

If Lin Quan's first goal only helped the team establish an advantage and made the Spanish fans breathe a sigh of relief.

Then the second goal allowed them to completely seal the victory.

It would have been too difficult for them to score two goals in less than 20 minutes left when Italy's attack was unable to threaten.

The Spanish fans finally reassured at this time, waving the flags in their hands, chanting the names of the players on the field, and many of them shouted the slogan of the champion.

As the team's number one hero, Lin Quan, who scored this goal, received the most cheers and applause.

Lin Quan himself was also very excited, he quickly ran to the sideline and was about to celebrate, when he saw Fabregas, who sent this accurate long pass, running up.

Lin Quan had a whim and thought of a very interesting celebratory action.

So he pretended to hold the rod in his hand and made a flicking motion.

Fabregas was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, pretending to be a fish, and approached Lin Quan on the ground one by one, as if he had been caught by a hook.

The teammates laughed, and one by one they also cooperated and ran over to hug Xiaofa, a big fish, horizontally, showing the joy of their harvest to the audience.

What's even funnier is that Ramos also pretended to squat down in front of everyone, pretending to have a camera in his hand, and helped everyone complete the group photo.

The audience at the scene was stunned at first, not knowing which play the Spaniards were playing.

But when they reacted, the audience almost burst out laughing.

The Spanish team is too good!

This goal celebration is really creative, and it makes the eyes of fans who are used to seeing regular celebrations shine.

Many fans even want to watch it again, but if they want to watch it again, it will require another goal from Spain.

Not to mention the fans at the scene, on the Internet, the celebration of the Spanish team quickly became popular.

Many fans cut out this video, accompanied by various spoof music, and quickly spread it all over the social networking sites.

"Haha, the Spanish team is so talented!"

"Who the hell meow came up with a celebration action, my stomach hurts with laughter!"

"The results are good, the game is watchable, and it's so creative, this team loves it!"

"I want to see it again!"

"Hehe, don't worry, I will have a chance to show when I meet the Brazilian team in the final, I hope Spain can come up with a new life when the time comes!"

"Team Spain, please!"

"Spain, please!"

"Team Brazil, please!"

“???”

"I see what the upstairs meant, he's saying that Brazil lost and we can enjoy this creative celebration!"

"I see, then the Brazilian team, please!"

"Team Brazil, please!"

……

On social networking sites, a big V, who is also a die-hard fan of the Brazilian team, saw the score between Spain and Italy, and felt that Italy was probably going to be carried away.

So he immediately launched a poll on his social platform:

In the final of the Confederations Cup, which team do you prefer to win the championship?

A: Brazil

B: Spain!

After initiating the vote, the big V felt that it was right.

Brazil has a population of more than 200 million, while Spain has a population of 40 million.

200 million VS 40 million, the advantage is mine, I won!

At the beginning, the voting column showed the support data of the two teams, and sure enough, as he expected, the fans who supported the Brazilian team were significantly ahead of the fans who supported Spain.

But things soon started to go wrong.

I don't know what happened, but the number of people who supported the Spanish team to win suddenly skyrocketed.

Not only did it surpass the support of the Brazilian team, but it also led them by a large margin.

So much so that in the end, the support of the Brazilian team was almost impossible to see the Spanish taillights.

Big V looked depressed: Is the outside world really so optimistic about Spain and Brazil?

……

was scored twice in a row by Spain, and Italy was stunned.

They recalled painful memories of being slaughtered by Spain in the final of last year's European Championships.

A wave of frustration quickly spread through the team.

Not willing to fall behind, Prandelli immediately made substitutions, and Giovinco and Aquilani came off the bench one after another.

Italy tried to step up their offensive and get back on the scoresheet.

However, stacking strikers up front with Pirlo being limited did not solve Italy's poor attack.

On the contrary, after replacing defenders such as Marchisio, their defensive ability has dropped considerably.

In the 86th minute of the game, Spain played a quick counterattack.

Lin Quan unselfishly passed the ball to his team-mates after entering the box, and David Silva fired a powerful shot through the Italian goal for the third time.

Spain leads Italy 3-0.

Including stoppage time, the game was less than 10 minutes away, and Spain, who had a three-goal lead, had completely sealed the win.

After the goal, the Italian side finally realized the reality, and they knew that they could not reverse the score.

However, the Italians still couldn't accept the end of a clean sheet by Spain.

So in the final stages of the game, they were still trying to attack.

In the second minute of stoppage time, a Spanish player committed a foul outside the penalty area, giving Italy a good free-kick opportunity.

Pirlo stood at the penalty spot and, after glancing at the Spanish wall, opted to shoot straight at goal.

The quality of the free-kick was so high that the ball flew over the wall and fell in the air.

The erratic trajectory affected Casillas' judgment and he couldn't get his hands on the ball.

Before the end of the game, Italy finally scored by the veteran Andrea Pirlo, and finally saved some face.

Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The Spanish players high-fived and celebrated their success in the semi-finals.

On the Italian side, frustration could be seen on the faces of almost all the players.

Lost twice in a row to the same opponent in a year, and both were in the kind of situation where they were beaten and barely able to fight back.

This made the Italians involuntarily feel Western-phobic, and they never wanted to meet Spain again!

Pirlo is very open to losing, he has already led the team to win the World Cup trophy.

So he didn't see any frustrated expression on his face, but comforted his teammates one by one.

It was at this time that I saw the Spanish team going around the field for a week, thanked the fans at the scene, and was about to leave.

Pirlo then took off his shirt and walked towards the opposing crowd, ready to swap shirts with his opponent.

The Spanish players saw Pirlo coming over and looked at Xavi.

The two men are in the same position, both are midfield commanders of their respective teams, and Pirlo has mostly come to Xavi to exchange shirts.

Xavi thought so too, so he was about to go up and say hello to Pirlo.

"I'm sorry Javier, I'm here to find Lin!"

Pirlo apologized to Harvey with a smile and found Lin Quan directly:

"Boy, would you like to swap jerseys with me?"

Lin Quan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Pirlo to come over to exchange jerseys for him.

The players of both teams looked at it curiously.

Pirlo seems to value that kid very much!

I will actually go to him to exchange jerseys in person!

After Lin Quan reacted, he quickly took off his jersey and handed it to Pirlo.

"You're a good midfielder, it's a shame not to play in midfield!"

After Pirlo got his jersey, he hugged Lin Quan and patted him on the back.

Lin Quan is still playing the frontcourt free man in this game, and has played many positions.

And his performance in the midfield position made Pirlo's eyes shine.

That's why I made such an exclamation.

"Thank you for the compliment, the duty of a midfielder does not have to be limited to the midfielder!"

Lin Quan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

In football, there are constantly various future coaches of all kinds.

The position of the players on the pitch is not fixed.

It's like the classical front waist that used to be very hot has almost disappeared.

The playmaker may disappear as well, and the playmaker may appear at full-back or centre-back.

Pirlo nodded, and instead of continuing to discuss this topic with Lin Quan, he went to Harvey to catch up.

Both are top midfield maestries, and both are young.

So when they meet on the field, they have a feeling of sympathy for each other.

With the current age of the two, after next year's World Cup, they may all fade out of the stage of the five major leagues.

So this encounter, for the two, may be their last meeting in the national team.

……

After Spain eliminated Italy, the most anticipated plot of this Confederations Cup has finally staged!

Host five-star Brazil, against former world champion Spain!

On one side is Brazil, which has won the most World Cups so far.

On one side is Spain, the last World Cup champion and currently ranked No. 1 in FIFA!

Their collision also represents the collision between European football and South American football.

At the same time, the two supernovas will also face off against each other on the stage of the finals!

As a result, before the game even started, more than 80,000 tickets had been snapped up.

The Brazilians, playing at home, will be hoping to see their team lift the trophy on their home turf and set up a good start to next year's World Cup.

Spanish fans, on the other hand, hope that the team can win the Confederations Cup, complete the Grand Slam of various major competitions, and completely establish the dynasty of the Bullfighting Army!

Before the game, the celebrities of the two countries stood up one after another to express their support for their respective teams.

Brazilian stars such as Ronaldo and Ronaldo have expressed optimism on Brazil's victory, believing that the young men of the Brazilian team can perform a miracle on their home turf and overturn the mighty bullfighting army.

And Raul and Hierro and others said that the invincible Spanish warship would knock over all opponents!

Whether it's Da Luo Xiao Luo, or Raul Hierro.

Their coffee booths are a little smaller.

This kind of prediction, of course, has to invite the two major football kings in today's football to come forward to have enough weight.

Maradona was found on the Spanish side.

Maradona was Argentine, so naturally he didn't like to see Brazilians triumphant.

In addition, Spain's strength is indeed superior, so Maradona expressed his support for Spain, believing that Spain can win the championship.

When the Brazilians saw that the Spaniards had invited the football king Maradona, they all looked bitter.

Although they also have a ball king, they don't dare to invite it!

The Brazilians did not dare to ask Pele to come out.

Bailey couldn't sit still:

"I'm optimistic that Brazil will win at home!"
