Chapter 146: Lin Quan is in the next city, and Spain has half a foot in the final!

"Little Pony's bounce is amazing!"

"Yes, with a height of 1.74 meters, he can compete with Busquets, who is 1.89 meters, it's terrifying!"

"If he hadn't jumped that high, maybe neither of them would have been so seriously injured!"

Seeing the changes on the field, fans on both sides were a little worried.

Mascherano and Sergio Busquets are both big defenders in both teams, and their departure through injury is not a good thing for Spain and Argentina.

Biglia's strength is not as good as that of Brother Xiaoma, who has a fierce defense and tenacious style, and was once known as the hardest back in the world.

With him, there is an impregnable barrier in front of the Argentine defensive line, and his downfall is definitely a huge weakening of Argentina's defensive strength.

Sergio Busquets, on the other hand, is known as a blind filter, and his role on the pitch is far more important than what the fans see.

Now the two have withdrawn one after another, so that this game has changed to a certain extent.

After the substitutions, the pace of the game did not slow down.

Spain took advantage of the fact that Biglia had just come on and had not had time to adjust to the pace of the game to launch an onslaught on the Argentine team.

In the 58th minute, Argentina's defender Garay was accidentally shaken off by the opponent when defending Lin Quan, but at this time, Spain's cross just flew in front of his eyes.

Garay didn't care so much, holding a shoe in one hand and hastily clearing the siege with the other shoe-wearing foot.

As a result, as soon as the siege was completed, because the other foot was not wearing shoes, his feet slipped, and he fell on the lawn with a snap, and fell on all fours.

This scene made the fans at the scene couldn't help but burst into laughter, and even the Argentine fans who were very nervous because the team was behind the score were a little nervous.

Spain's corner kick was opened, Ramos jumped high to reach the ball, but unfortunately the ball was too straight and was saved by Romero.

In the 59th minute, Spain's offensive hit Argentina's penalty area again.

Lin Quan was about to enter the penalty area with the ball after shaking Zabaleta on the side, and Demichelis saw that he couldn't stop the opponent, so he had to pull down Lin Quan at the edge of the penalty area.

The foul was committed outside the penalty area, but Lin Quan fell in the penalty area due to inertia.

There was an uproar at the scene, with Spanish fans chanting 'penalty' slogans and pressuring the referee for a penalty.

The Argentine players rushed to the referee and explained to him that it was a foul outside the box and definitely not a penalty.

The referee pressed his hands down and signaled the Argentine players to calm down.

He then walked up to the foul Demichelis, pulled out a yellow card from his ass pocket, showed him a yellow card and warned him.

He first gave the offense a personality, and it was an undisputed foul.

As for the location of the foul, he didn't know very well, and he wasn't sure if it was inside or outside the box, which needed to be confirmed with the linesman.

If it really doesn't work, you can also mobilize the Eagle Eye system to confirm.

In this World Cup, FIFA used two sets of high-tech goal-line technology for the first time in the game, Hawkeye and Goal Referee, to assist the referee in making accurate decisions and reduce the possibility of misjudgment.

Without waiting for the referee to get the result from the assistant, Lin Quan, who got up from the ground, took the initiative to speak:

'Martin's foul was on outside the box, it wasn't a penalty!'

When the Argentine players heard Lin Quan's words, they all looked very surprised.

At this time, shouldn't ordinary people put pressure on the referee to get a penalty as much as possible?

It's good that this guy actually took the initiative to stand up and help Argentina clarify the facts!

This move shocked the Argentine players in their hearts, and at the same time, they were also in awe of Lin Quan's quality.

Demichelis was a little grateful to Lin Quan for his righteous words, after all, there was a possibility of misjudgment in this ball.

If Lin Quan didn't take the initiative to speak, Spain would probably profit from this miscalculation.

"Lin, thank you, when I get back to Manchester, I'll treat you to dinner!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Lin Quan smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, and happily agreed to the other party's invitation.

Messi on the side saw this scene, and couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of Lin Quan's character in his heart.

This guy really has a taste for himself!

He couldn't help but think in his heart: if he can return to Barcelona, then he and he should be very compatible.

It's a pity that in the short term, I can't see the possibility of him returning to Camp Nou, and I don't have much communication with him, so it's hard for the two to become friends.

In the stands, seeing that Lin Quan did not lie on the grass, but took the initiative to stand up and speak for the Argentine team, the Argentine fans applauded him.

If they had to lose, they would rather lose to such an opponent.

After all, they may feel sorry to lose in this way, but they don't feel unconvinced.

The Spanish fans were a little disappointed, and the goal could have turned into a goal if Lin Quanneng burst into the box.

And as long as Demichelis' foul was a little bit late by half a second, it was a penalty.

"Alas, Lin is too sincere, if he doesn't explain this goal, maybe he can win a penalty!"

"Yes, but I still prefer the current Lin, at least he didn't do anything to pursue victory or defeat!"

"Hehe, if this were a diver, I'm afraid he would desperately ask for a penalty!"

"A certain Luo, you can directly report my ID card!"

In a box at the Mineiro Arena, FIFA President Sepp Blatter saw this scene on the field and his eyes lit up.

At a time when the commercialization atmosphere in football is getting stronger and stronger, there are really fewer and fewer players like Lin Quan who stick to the bottom line in their hearts.

Moreover, Lin Quan's personal strength is strong, his football skills and character are excellent, and there is no negative news off the field.

Wouldn't such a player be the best example to set up a positive image and call on young players to learn from him?

Thinking of this, Blatter took the lead in standing up and gave Lin Quan a round of applause.

While applauding, he admonished the assistant beside him:

"Contact more media reporters, so that they can focus on Lin Quan's noble character in their post-match news reports!"

Lin Quan on the field didn't know what was happening outside the field, and after listening to his explanation, the referee quickly awarded Spain a free kick in a good position!

Lin Quan discussed it with Xavi and others, and in the end, he himself took the ball.

The Argentine players were a little nervous and began to line up the wall, guarding tightly, for fear that Spain would use this free kick to score directly.

Lin Quan has scored from free-kicks in the league and Champions League on a number of occasions, and it is not surprising that the Argentine has such concerns.

It's just that this position is a little closer, almost on the edge of the penalty line.

At this distance, many of Lin Quan's free kick skills are useless.

So, he tried to kick the defoliant ball.

Romero was highly focused, and the moment Lin Quan finished shooting, he leaped high and lifted the ball over the crossbar.

Seeing that his shot was saved by Romero, Lin Quan felt a little regretful.

In order to suppress the height, the ball speed did not dare to hit too fast, so the goalkeeper was given time to react.

Therefore, if a free kick is too close to the penalty area, it is not a good thing.

If the ball is a little farther away from the penalty area, Lin Quanneng will have many more ways to shoot.

Being pressed by Spain in their own half of the field to attack continuously, Argentina was terrified.

They have to go out, and if they don't, they're going to concede a second goal sooner or later.

In the 61st minute, Argentina launched a counterattack at the back, and Biglia passed the ball to Di Maria under the interference of Spanish players.

Di Maria broke through on the wing and sent a through ball to Messi, who got a one-handed chance against offside.

This is Argentina's best chance of the game!

Seeing that Messi won a single knife, all the Argentine fans at the scene stood up, stretched their necks, and looked at the field with nervous faces.

If this goal is scored, then the two sides are back on the same page.

At the moment of Di Maria's pass, Casillas, who was in the big penalty area, immediately chose to attack.

Both he and Messi are accelerating towards the ball, and whoever can touch the ball first will have the advantage.

Messi, who started faster, clearly had the advantage, and despite the risk of injury, he accelerated to rush forward, kicking the ball away before Casillas, and then jumping off to avoid Casillas' interception.

Messi stumbled a little when he was taken by Casillas' tackle, but after holding the turf with his hand, he struggled to chase the rolling and jumping football.

Just catch up with the soccer ball and kick it into the goal, and you'll be able to complete the redemption you had four years ago!

Sergio Ramos, Pique and other Spanish players are sprinting at a rapid pace, trying to get ahead of Messi and destroy the goal.

But they were both a step slower, and Messi stumbled to catch up with the ball before his body could fully regain his balance.

He didn't dare to delay, just glanced at the direction of the goal and hurriedly completed the shot.

At the moment when Messi finished shooting, Ramos slammed into Messi from behind and knocked Messi down in the box.

At this time, the football had already flown out, and under the attention of more than 70,000 fans, it flew into the Spanish goal!

1:1!

Argentina, in a desperate situation, in the 62nd minute of the second half, their core Messi completed a goal, bringing the two sides back to the same running line!

It was also the first time in this World Cup that a team managed to equalize with Spain in the lead.

Messi's goal instantly ignited the atmosphere at the Mineiro Arena.

Countless Argentine fans cried with joy, hugged each other and shed tears of excitement.

No words can describe their mood at this moment, after Spain took the lead, Argentina fell behind for ten minutes, they simply lived like years, one by one living in great fear and worry.

Finally, all the gloom that had accumulated in their hearts was swept away!

The Argentines saw hope of beating a strong Spanish side and securing their final ticket.

Not only inside the stadium, but also outside the stadium, the Argentine fans who could not buy tickets, as well as the couches in front of the bars and home televisions in Argentina, were extremely excited.

They shouted Messi's name and hugged their families excitedly, as if they had won the game.

"Damn it!"

On the sidelines, in the Spanish dugout, Bosque saw that Argentina had scored, cursed in a low voice, and kicked over a bottle of mineral water on the sidelines.

He turned to the bench and called both Juan Mata and Cesc Fabregas to his feet.

Bosque is ready to change two people in one go!

He is ready to replace Xavi with a small French and Mata for Torres to make the Spanish formation a real strikerless.

After Xiaofa and Juan Mata came on the field, Spain had 5 midfielders on the field!

Bosque intends to use these five top midfielders to serve Lin Quan alone!

Spain's tactics are simple!

After getting the ball, everyone passed the ball to Lin Quan, maximizing his offensive ability, giving him unlimited firing rights, and letting him shoot as he wanted!

With Lin Quan's scoring ability, Bosque is not worried about not being able to score goals, especially with so many top midfielders waiting!

Argentina has Messi, and we also have Lin Quan!

Not only do we have Lin Quan, but we also have a large group of top-level supporters!

Seeing Bosque's decisive substitution, Savilla on the other side was a little overwhelmed.

It's only been more than 60 minutes now, and the opponent has used up all the substitutions at once, isn't he worried about any accidents in the next game?

Savilla didn't have the same level of courage as Bosque, and he didn't think about what to do after the equaliser.

The players were stimulated by the goal and the morale looked good.

So, should you seize this wave of opportunities and continue to attack and try to overtake the score?

Savilla is still hesitating, and on the other side, Spain's substitutions have been completed.

Seeing Bosque's substitution, the audience at the scene was shocked.

"Changing two people in one go, and all of them are offensive players, Spain is annoyed and angry?"

"Xiaofa and Juan Mata are very strong in attack, the key is to pass a good ball, after they come on the field, Spain's passing tactics will become more terrifying, Argentina's back line is only afraid of being in danger!"

"It's hard to say, these two people's physical confrontation ability is not strong, and they may not be able to withstand the impact of Argentina!"

"If it's just started, it's not good, but now the Argentine players have been playing for more than 60 minutes, and their physical fitness is definitely not as strong as the two players who just changed on the opposite side!"

"Juan Mata and Jr. have both played in the Premier League and their physicality is not bad at all!"

"It's a mule or a horse, just pull it out and you'll know, and the effect of Bosque's substitution adjustment will be revealed soon!"

The fans have their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone.

All arguments must be seen in the game.

After Xiaofa and Juan Mata came on the pitch, the Argentine players quickly felt the difference - Lin Quan's pass and the number of times he received the ball was obviously increased!

Not only that, but he also tried to break through with the ball.

This has led to a lot of defensive pressure on Argentina's midfield, because in the face of a maniac like Lin Quan, you can't let your own backline face him alone!

Once he passes the defender, then his own goal will be tested!

Biglia has been the busiest man on the pitch during this time!

Messi and Angel Di Maria are both the kind of players who are strong in attack and weak in defense, and their defensive ability is better than nothing.

Messi is good to say, he is very aware of Lin Quan's threat to his own backline, so he is very active in defending.

But Di Maria is different, he will also be involved in defending, but once he is passed, he rarely chases back, choosing to trust his teammates.

There is no way, they have been kicked down for more than 60 minutes, and the players' physical fitness has fallen into a bottleneck period, and if they participate in the attack and defense directly at this time, they may soon be exhausted of the little physical energy they have left.

The Spanish players on the opposite side are actually similar, but the problem lies with the three new players who came on in the second half.

Martinez is full of energy and defensive awareness, and his sweeping interception at the back is very large, ensuring the safety of the Spanish rear.

Juan Mata and Cesc Fabregas, on the other hand, had just come on and were fit, so they acted as a bridging bolt in the middle, constantly using their runs to get rid of defenders and actively approaching their team-mates to reduce the physical exertion of their teammates.

Facing the two physically fit, the Argentine side will have to be covered by multiple people to break the ball from their feet.

However, there is a more threatening Lin Quan in front of Spain, which makes it impossible for Argentina to invest heavily in the two men.

At this time, Bosque's substitution value is reflected.

If he had only made a conservative midfield, Argentina might have the capacity to cover him.

But he was replaced by two people at once, one of the Argentine sides didn't work at all, and two of them, they didn't have so many troops, nor did they have such abundant physical fitness.

Therefore, after the substitution, Spain completely grasped the control of the midfield.

With control in midfield, their attacking threat is naturally much higher!

In the 68th minute, Spain played a high-quality counter-attack.

Di Maria was too sticky and was tackled by Martinez at the back.

The latter found Juan Mata in front with a long pass, who quickly dribbled down the flank towards the Argentine penalty area.

Zabaleta stepped forward to intercept it, but Mata didn't stick to the ball and immediately passed it to Iniesta.

Iniesta passed the ball to Lin Quan before Biglia fouled.

Lin Quan received the ball with his back on the line of the penalty area and passed it back to Iniesta, and he himself immediately turned and walked diagonally into the penalty area.

Andres Iniesta continued to pass back to Lin Quan, who received the ball in the penalty area, but Argentina's central defender Garay stuck very tightly, and Lin Quan had no chance to shoot.

Instead of forcing a shot, he passed the ball to Mata, who cut inside.

When Andres Iniesta and Lin Quan exchanged passes, almost all of the Argentine defenders shrank into the box.

At this point, when the ball reached Mata's feet, there was no one around him.

Juan Mata stops the ball and makes a shot on goal.

Argentina's left-back Marcos Rojo rushed up desperately, raising his foot to try to block.

Mata gave him a gentle push and sent the ball away from his raised feet.

Behind Rojo, a figure came out like a ghost, took a step after receiving the ball in the open space, and aimed for the top left corner of the goal before Demichelis came up to block.

Romero's eyes widened and he desperately stretched out his arm to try to save the ball.

But the opponent hit quickly and quickly, and his outstretched hand was a step slower and failed to touch the ball!

With a bang, the football flew into Argentina's goal again.

The score became 2:1!

The Argentine's joy didn't last even ten minutes before it was doused by Lin Quan's basin of cold water!

And Lin Quan's second goal also means that Spain's half foot has stepped into the final stage!
