Chapter 125 Spain's odds to win the championship have soared, and the qualifying situation is very good!
The team took a big lead, and Bosque was already humming a little song in a good way.
He glanced at the bench and called Xavi Alonso up to warm up.
In the 65th minute, Spain made a substitution.
Xavi Alonso comes on for Xavi.
It was a counterpoint substitution, and the two Xavis could coexist on the pitch before.
But now, as the two get older, Bosque consciously staggers them to avoid two veterans appearing at the same time, only to be blown up by the other party because they are too old.
Of course, Xavi Alonso and Xavi have different styles, and Alonso is more defensive than Xavi.
So, this substitution is a signal that Spain is going to start playing!
Seeing this substitution from Spain, Van Gaal hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to replace De Guzman with Wijnaldum, who was faster and more capable of dribbling.
Although the score of 4:1 seems to have no rescue value, at this time, it can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Even if they can't equalize and reverse in the end, it's good to score another goal and make them lose a little more decently.
After all, the Dutch team is also a top team, and if he loses too ugly, he will be scolded to death by the Dutch fans when he goes back.
Before Van Gaal's substitution, most of the Dutch side were ready to give up.
But there is one exception, and that is Peter Pan!
Wijnaldum's appearance still injected some vitality into the Dutch team's frontcourt.
With his speed and dribbling skills, he quickly developed chemistry with Robben after his debut.
In the 67th minute, Wijnaldum sent a clever pass, Robben cut inside and completed a long-range shot, but the ball could not be pressed and went over the crossbar.
In the 72nd minute, Wijnaldum made a breakthrough and sent a through ball.
Robben received a pass from a team-mate in the box, smashed a right-footed past a snatching Pique in tight space, and then fired a left-footed shot before Ramos blocked.
From Robben stopping the ball, adjusting, passing to shooting, it took less than two seconds in between.
The ball was played with a high quality, and the ball went over Cassie's ten fingers, only to be slammed off the crossbar.
Robben froze in place, shaking his head regretfully, deeply feeling the injustice of fate.
He has exerted his personal ability to the extreme, but his luck is really bad, and he can only sigh.
Wijnaldum and Arjen Robben combined to make Spain aware of their threat and start putting more effort into limiting them.
After Wijnaldum was targeted, it was difficult to deliver the same passes as before.
And Robben was not able to play such a threatening attack after being targeted, and the Dutch team's counterattack completely lost its threat.
In the 75th minute, Bosque made another substitution.
He replaced Andres Iniesta and brought on Pedro.
Pedro sat on the bench for more than an hour and watched his team-mates slaughter the Netherlands by four goals.
At this time, it was finally his turn to play, and he was already suffocated, and he was very positive after playing.
He runs tirelessly around the frontcourt, like a mad dog, everywhere to grab the opposing ball-handler, whether on the offensive or defensive end, you can see him running at the expense of his physical strength.
Seeing Pedro so active, Lin Quan consciously began to lean towards him.
In the 80th minute, Spain's attack hit the penalty area, and in the face of his teammate's pass, Lin Quanxuan shook a shot and gave the ball to Pedro, who led the ball into the penalty area and hit the crossbar with a volley on the right side of the penalty area.
Seeing the ball denied by the crossbar, the Sabres were dumbfounded.
Lin Quan couldn't help but shake his head, this luck felt like it was a fight with Diego Costa.
When Arjen Robben's shot hit the crossbar, the Dutch fans sighed, and now it's the turn of the Spanish fans to hold their heads and sigh!
Damn the crossbar, it seems that Spain has already been denied shots twice!
In the 83rd minute, Spain got a free kick on the left flank.
Lin Quan hoisted the ball into the penalty area, and Ramos clashed with the opposing defender Indy when he was fighting for the header, and both of them were very angry, pushing and pushing each other.
The referee played 50 boards each and showed a yellow card to each of them.
Seeing this yellow card, Bosque couldn't help but frown.
Ramos is very capable, but it's his temper, and it would be better if he could change it.
However, is Ramos, who is not hot-tempered, still a water master?
As the game drew to a close, the Spanish players relaxed as they played.
The players of the Netherlands, who could not accept a heavy defeat, gradually lost control of their emotions.
In the 86th minute, Robin van Persie kicked Pedro down from behind and received a yellow card.
It was the fifth yellow card for the Dutch team of the game.
Busquets watched the opponent arguing around the referee about the yellow card, so he didn't talk about Wude's quick free kick, and the Dutch team's energy was on the foul just now, and there was little defense against Spain's fast attack.
Lin Quan scored easily after receiving the ball, but the linesman raised the flag to signal offside.
Lin Quan himself didn't say much, but the fans at the scene were not happy.
If this goal is counted as a goal, then Lin Quan will complete the hat-trick.
Slow-motion replays on the big screen showed that the ball was just a millimeter away, and when David Silva passed the ball, Lin Quan was only a little bit ahead.
I have to say that the linesman's sharp eyes are a bit powerful.
However, when luck comes, it can't be stopped.
In the 88th minute, Spain's high pressing caused the Netherlands to make a mistake.
Goalkeeper Cillessen made a mistake when he received a return pass from his teammate and accidentally stopped the ball a little farther away.
Lin Quan was nearby, and quickly rushed over after seeing the other party's mistake.
Cillessen hurriedly tried to destroy the ball, but it was half a beat too slow, and the ball was taken away by Lin Quan, who passed the goalkeeper and pushed the empty goal!
The score was rewritten to 5:1, and Lin Quan scored a hat-trick in his first World Cup game!
For a while, the fans who watched the game both on the spot and on the Internet were boiling.
"Lin Huang is awesome, this is the first hat-trick of this World Cup, right?"
"Yes, and the only hat-trick in this World Cup so far!"
"Emperor Lin is only a little 18 years old now, right? Is this the youngest hat-trick in World Cup history? ”
"It doesn't seem like so, the fastest hat-trick was set by Pele in Brazil's 1958 semi-final win over France.
Pele was only 17 years and 244 days old at the time, and he was the only person under the age of 18 to score a hat-trick. ”
"Holy, is Bailey so awesome? I thought he was just a crow's mouth! ”
"After all, he is the first king of the ball, how can he be crowned king without some strength, then again, why didn't I hear Pele come out to predict this World Cup?"
"Haha, probably a gag order from the Brazilian Football Federation, right? After all, he predicted that Brazil would win the Confederations Cup last year, only to be swept by Spain, and in January this year he predicted that Brazil would win the World Cup, which scared the Brazilian fans! ”
"With the prestige of the football king Pele, it shouldn't be enough to give a gag order, there is a high probability that the Brazilian Football Association will come to the door and beg him to receive the magic power, don't make a blind prediction, even if you want poisoned milk, please ask him to go to other teams with poisoned milk, don't come to the Hoho Brazil team!"
On the court, after Lin Quan completed his hat trick, he excitedly came to a front flip to celebrate.
Bosque on the sidelines was taken aback, didn't this guy not let him do such a dangerous celebratory move?
German star Klose, who was watching the game with his teammates, couldn't help but smile after seeing this scene.
When he was in Serie A, he heard that Werder Bremen had a promising newcomer and, like him, loved to celebrate with a front flip.
At that time, he thought that the other party was paying tribute to himself, after all, he had also served for the Parrot Legion for three years, so God K saw his own shadow in Lin Quan's body.
It's just that I didn't expect that in just two years, the young boy at the beginning has grown to such a height, which makes Klose a little emotional.
"The front flip celebration is very dangerous, if you have the chance, you have to remind him to use it as little as possible in the future!"
Bosque regretted a little, if only he knew that the three substitutions didn't have to be so fast.
If there were still substitutions, he would definitely replace Lin Quan and let him accept the cheers of the fans alone.
This is the best compliment to his outstanding performance in this game!
Coach Tony, who was on the side, leaned over and asked Bosque:
"Vincent, do you still feel too spoiled by Lin?"
Bosque was speechless for a moment, a little speechless.
Lin Quan's goal completely broke the morale of the Dutch team, and Spain's fifth goal was not how well they played, it was purely the Dutch team's own mistake to give the opportunity.
Even the goalkeeper has such a low-level mistake, what can they expect from the rest of their players?
In the last minutes of the game, the Dutch players on the pitch played in a mess, wanting to end this painful game as soon as possible.
Spain are still trying to continue attacking, and although Lin Quan is no longer looking for goals, it does not prevent him from creating opportunities for his teammates.
In the 91st minute, Spain got a well-placed free-kick opportunity.
If it is a normal situation, it should be Xavi or Lin Quan who will take the penalty for this goal, at this time Xavi is not present, Lin Quan saw that Ramos was eager to try and took the initiative to give up the opportunity.
Ramos' footwork was a bit outrageous, and the 25-metre free-kick was deflected wide and failed to pose a threat to goal.
In the third minute of stoppage time, Torres fell in the penalty area, perhaps to see the Dutch team lose too badly, this time the referee did not blow a penalty.
In the end, Spain defeated the Netherlands 5:1 and made a good start to the group stage.
After the game, the news of Spain's 5-1 bloodbath in the Netherlands immediately made the front page headlines of the world's major sports newspapers.
People were shocked by Spain's prowess and lamented the Orange's fall at the speed of light.
Four years ago, the Dutch team was still inseparable from Spain, and now, they and Spain seem to be not a team of the same level, and they are beaten by the opponent without any defense.
This shocking score is a true portrayal of the strength of both teams!
Although many pundits and institutions predicted a victory for Spain before the game, few could have imagined that they would win in this way.
Therefore, after this game, the spinach company has raised the odds of Spain to win the championship, and this number has soared to 2.2.
In other words, after only one round of the group stage, the outside world believes that the probability of Spain winning the championship is more than 45%!
How crazy it is!
After winning the game, Bosque was in a good mood.
He didn't wait for Van Gaal to come over, and took the initiative to step forward and hug each other warmly.
Van Gaal's face was very ugly, he didn't want to hug this bad old man, but the other party was too 'enthusiastic' and forced to hug him, which made him extremely embarrassed.
"Haha, old man, how about it, will you be convinced?"
"Hmph, you're just lucky, I've found a way to restrain you, see you in the final!"
Van Gaal forcibly pulled his respect, shook off Bosque's embrace, and left proudly.
Bosque looked at the stubborn back of the Dutchman and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.
How does this sound so familiar?
Oh, that's what he said before the game!
That's fine!
After beating the Netherlands, their strongest opponents, Spain are in a good position to qualify.
In five days' time, Spain will travel to the Maracanã Stadium to face Chile, their second opponent in the group stage.
Chile are weaker than the Netherlands, and if they can win this game, then Spain will qualify for the group one round earlier.
In view of this, Bosque gave the players two days off and allowed them to reunite with their families.
This wise decision was enthusiastically embraced by the players, and he announced that he would take a holiday, and the players immediately dispersed.
Most of the players went to find their wives, but Lin Quan went to the hotel where Guardiola was staying and discussed tactics with him all night.
After the match between Spain and the Netherlands, Chile beat Australia 3-1 in the other match in Group B.
The score was not unexpected, and the Chilean team deserved the title of South American powerhouse.
After Group B, the matches of other groups have also been played.
In Group C, Ivory Coast reversed Japan 2:1, and Colombia beat Greece 3:0.
Group D saw the first upset of this World Cup: the mighty Uruguay lost 3-1 to Costa Rica.
Uruguay, with stars such as Suarez, Cavani and Forlan, was thought to have the strength of the quarterfinals or even the semi-finals before the game, but they overturned in the first game.
This proves that it is not necessary to win if you are strong on paper, and there can be no negligence on the World Cup stage.
There were no upsets for the rest of the game, with the stronger Italy beating England 2-1 against the favourites.
France beat Honduras 3-0, Argentina beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-1, and Messi scored a goal.
Germany beat Portugal 4-1, and Ronaldo did his best to finally score a goal.
It is worth mentioning that in Belgium's 2-1 win over Algeria, De Bruyne came off the bench in the 75th minute and scored a goal to help the team win the opponent.
After the first round of the group stage, the European side achieved a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses, and the record was neither good nor bad.
South America has a 4-2 record, which is a bit higher than that of European teams.
However, it was the North American team with the highest winning percentage who achieved a proud record of 3 wins and 1 loss, which was completely unexpected.
On the Asian side, 2 draws and 2 losses have not tasted a win, and the name of the weakest division is confirmed.
On the African side, 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, it is not much better.
The schedule of the competition is very tight, and after the first round of matches in Group H, the second round of matches in Group A and Group B is about to start!
In this round of games, Brazil and Spain, who have three points, have ushered in the resistance of strong opponents, and whether they can qualify ahead of schedule depends on their respective performances in this game.
