After Casillas finished winning the cup, he then handed the Hercules Cup to Lin Quan.

Lin Quan held the trophy high, attracting countless reporters to take pictures, the flash lights on the scene flashed non-stop, and the fans also cheered for their face.

Lin Quan did not covet the Hercules Cup excessively, but immediately handed it over to other teammates, so that his teammates took turns to live the addiction of holding the cup.

At this time, Felipe VI, who was wearing a red Spanish jersey, appeared from the players' tunnel and walked into the stadium with two little princesses who were also wearing Spanish jerseys.

Harvey handed the Hercules Cup to Lin Quan and asked him to hand it to the king.

Felipe VI looked excited, he leaned over the Hercules cup and kissed it, not raising a glass himself, but giving it to his two daughters.

Princess Leonor and Princess Sofia excitedly received the trophy from their father, and the two joined forces to hold the Hercules Cup high.

It was almost a re-enactment of that classic scene from four years ago, and the Spanish fans in front of the scene and in front of the TV couldn't help but think of the happy memories of those days.

This generation of Spanish fans is undoubtedly happy, and their national team is in the midst of its strongest period ever.

They have won two World Cups in just four years, after 80 years of not winning the World Cup.

If you count from 08, in this 6 years, the Spanish team has won 2 World Cups, 2 European Cups, and 1 Confederations Cup.

In all competitions, Spain has struggled to defeat and has won almost every title they can win.

However, there will always be a day when the dynasty will fall.

In this Spanish team, Xavi is 34, Casillas, Xavi Alonso and Villa are all 33.

Among these four, except for goalkeeper Casillas, the other three are afraid that they will announce their retirement from the national team after the World Cup.

They are too old to continue playing in the top five leagues.

So next they will most likely choose to leave the big five leagues, go to the Middle East or the North American major leagues to pan for gold, or simply choose to retire, just like Puyol.

In addition to these people, Torres and Iniesta, who were born in 84, are both 30 years old and can hold out for one World Cup at most.

In addition, Albiol in 85, David Silva in 86, Ramos, Pique, Fabregas, Pedro and others born in 87 may only be able to play in the World Cup again, and it will be difficult to hold on to the 2022 World Cup.

Compared to the young squad four years ago, with an average age of 25.7 years old, the average age in Spain is now 27.5 years old.

This average age is relatively large among the previous World Cup winning squads.

The problem of an ageing squad is the first problem that Spain will have to face in the coming period.

And this kind of problem is basically unsolvable.

However, the optimistic Spaniards did not think so much and so far ahead at this time.

They feel that La Liga is now in full bloom, and the young players who continue to emerge in the league will be able to perfectly inherit the mission of their predecessors and lead the Spanish team to continue to make great progress.

It's not just the fans who think so, but even the Spanish news media.

During the post-match interview, a large group of reporters surrounded Lin Quan and asked him how he felt about the game and winning the World Cup.

After Lin Quan finished answering this question, a Spanish reporter asked:

"Lin, do you know that you almost broke the all-time record set by the great Pele 56 years ago?"

Lin Quan shook his head, saying that he didn't know what the other party was talking about.

"When Pele led the team to win the championship for the first time, he was only 17 years and 249 days old, and he is also the youngest player to win the World Cup so far!"

"And when you led the team to win this World Cup, you were 18 years and 140 days old, and the difference between the two of you is not big!"

Although in addition to the two, in the 1994 World Cup, the 17-year-old Ronaldo participated in that World Cup, and the Brazilian team also won the championship, but he himself failed to play, so reporters ignored his record.

Reporters are more recognizable to players like Lin Quan and Pele, who participated in the World Cup and scored many goals as the main players in the game, preferably in the final.

Those who follow the team to the championship obviously don't count.

"Hehe, I haven't paid attention to this issue, after all, when I was 17 years old, I didn't have a World Cup to play!"

The reporters laughed when they heard Lin Quan's answer.

The World Cup is held every four years, not every year.

In addition, young and powerful players like Pele and Lin Quan are really rare and very rare.

As a result, this record for Pele may be difficult to break, especially with such harsh conditions set by Spanish journalists.

This requires players to not only be young enough, but also to be at the heart of the team, to perform well enough on the pitch and ultimately to win the trophy.

Each of these is not so easy to complete.

"Is there any other record I can try to challenge at my age?"

Lin Quanke has the title of record smasher, so he is very interested in the records that Bailey once created.

When the reporters heard Lin Quan's words, they all became interested.

Lin Quan actually wants to challenge the World Cup record of the football king Pele, does he want to become the new football king?

"Yes, Pele is a three-time World Cup champion who has never been seen before, and this record has been in the dust for many years, and almost no one can break it."

After the reporters finished speaking, they all looked at Lin Quan with interest, waiting for him to make a statement.

Winning the World Cup three times is a question of how difficult it is for anyone since Pele to finish.

To a large extent, Pele can be named the king of the ball, and it is precisely because he has completed this almost impossible miracle that he is recognized by everyone as the first generation of the king of the ball!

If Lin Quan can really surpass Pele's record, then he is really qualified to become the new champion!

It's just that Lin Quan can really complete this impossible task?

Some even doubt that it is a question of whether he will have the guts to take on this task!

This kind of task is impossible because a player has a limited career time, no more than 20 years at most!

In 20 years, even if the debut and retirement have caught up with the World Cup, there will be only 6 World Cups at most.

And in such a fiercely competitive World Cup, let alone a single player, even if it is a national team, I am afraid that it will win 3 World Cup championships in 20 years!

Brazil, the team with the most victories in the history of the World Cup, has not touched a trophy in three World Cups since winning the World Cup in 2002, and has not even been able to reach the final.

"It's really hard to break this record, but I feel like I can try to challenge it, what if I succeed?!"

Lin Quan replied very easily, not that he was absolutely sure that he could complete this task, but that he felt that he would try it with the mentality of giving it a try.

It's best if you succeed, and it doesn't matter if you fail, after all, it's an impossible task!

Hearing Lin Quan's answer, the reporters at the scene had their eyes lit up, and they were all excited.

Big news!

Lin Quan is actually going to challenge the position of the king of the ball!

Others didn't even dare to have an idea of Bailey's record, and Lin Quan actually wanted to try it.

This alone shows how confident he is in his own strength!

This kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can have!

Of course, with Lin Quan's performance in this World Cup, he is definitely qualified to attack the position of the king of the ball.

The media didn't care so much, in order to attract readers, they exaggerated and reported Lin Quan's interview with more oil and vinegar.

Among them, the BBC news headline is the most eye-catching:

"Lin Quan: I want to be the king of the ball! 》

After these reports came out, the whole football world was a sensation!

On the Internet, the carnival of the World Cup has just ended, and the fan group with a very high degree of enthusiasm immediately discussed it after seeing this report.

"Damn, Emperor Lin actually wants to be crowned king, I didn't know that Emperor Lin had such great ambitions!"

"Emperor Lin is powerful and domineering, if someone else says this, I just think he is bragging and farting, but if this comes from Emperor Lin's mouth, how can it feel like a play?"

"Probably because Emperor Lin really has this strength, right?"

"Hehe, you forest fans are really serious? It's so difficult to win the World Cup once, win the championship three times, hehe, I can only say wash and sleep, there is everything in the dream! ”

"It is really difficult to win three World Cup championships, but it is not completely impossible, to analyze a wave rationally and objectively, this time Spain successfully defended the title, Lin Huang already has a World Cup championship in his hands, and in the next ten years, he only needs to win two more World Cups."

"Indeed, Lin Huang is only 18 years old this year, and he can play at least three World Cups, and if he maintains his form, it will be no problem to play four."

"It's not easy to win two championships in four World Cups, Spain's squad is about to go downhill!"

"Although it is going downhill, as long as Lin Huang is still there, they are still a top team, if the strength of other teams does not come up during this time, the Spanish team can really defend the next World Cup!"

"I think the German team is good, and Argentina should be very competitive in four years!"

"I think the French team could rise, they have a lot of young goblins in the league!"

"Young goblin? The professor is in ecstasy! ”

"The professor has become more generous in spending money in the past few seasons, and he can't look down on young demons anymore and wants to buy big-name stars!"

"No, no, no, the professor is still the professor who can't wait to break a penny in half, buy a famous star without delaying hoarding demons, even if you can't use it, it's good to rent it out to level up, and maybe you can sell it to make money in the future!"

"Damn, when did Arsenal start the black shop business?"

"Don't say it so ugly, Nana is an experienced captain for other teams, how can it be considered a black shop?"

"Don't say it, don't say it, Nana fans are already crying!"

"Okay, don't irritate the sought-after fans, let's continue to talk about whether Lin Huang can break the record!"

"You say, is there a possibility that Lin Huang will win three championships in a row in the next four World Cups......"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"The odds are too low!"

"Hehe, the World Cup is estimated to be renamed the Spanish Cup!"

In fact, many people think that in these four World Cups, Spain may not even win another World Cup title.

After this generation retires, there is a big question mark over whether the next generation of Spanish players will be able to have such a strong strength.

Although Lin Quan is very strong, football is a team sport, and no matter how strong he is, he can't single-handedly challenge the opponent's whole team.

Besides, if your teammates don't do your best, you're likely to become pig teammates, which will help!

It is precisely because the possibility of this kind of thing is so low that many people think that Lin Quan is joking.

Fans of some stars seized the opportunity to turn on the mockery mode, thinking that Lin Quan was too arrogant.

Bailey's miracle actually wants to challenge?

The discussion of this matter was so heated that even Bailey himself was shocked by this incident.

However, unlike the cynicism of ordinary people, the football king himself said very generously:

"The very existence of the record is left for future generations to break!"

"Lin is a talented player, it's a pleasure for anyone to watch him play, he's still young and the possibilities are endless, so I won't deny him easily!"

Pele's statement greatly increased the confidence of those fans who supported Lin Quan.

"Kuroko speaks!"

"The king of the ball himself has expressed his support for Emperor Lin, you know better than the king of the ball?"

"Just change your name and call it the king of understanding!"

……

When this incident was in a uproar, Lin Quan and his teammates had already taken a flight back to Spain and returned to Madrid with the Hercules Cup.

Fans who got the news in advance flocked to the airport and surrounded the airport.

When the Spanish players showed up in the reception hall, they were all overcrowded.

"My mother, how many people are there?"

"I'm afraid there aren't tens of thousands, right?"

"Not only that, you see, there are people out there!"

"I'm afraid not half of Madrid's people are here!"

"Can we still get out of the airport today?"

Seeing this posture outside, the players were taken aback.

However, the fans were still relatively calm, just shouting the slogan of the champion, and did not do anything excessive.

This was a relief to the players, and after discussing with the coaching staff, they took out the Hercules Cup and the individual awards to show the fans what they had achieved in this World Cup.

After seeing the Hercules Cup, the fans were even more excited, and they couldn't help but rush up one by one, wanting to touch this fascinating championship trophy with their own hands.

Fortunately, when the Spanish national team returned home, they contacted the security personnel at the airport in advance, and they also arranged a large number of personnel in advance to participate in the on-site security and order maintenance work.

So under the maintenance of the security personnel, there were no accidents.

After the officials of the Football Association announced that the Hercules Cup would be displayed publicly for fans to visit, the mood of the fans at the scene gradually calmed down.

Instead, start shouting each player's name!

The veterans who have participated in two World Cups have received special preferential treatment, and when their names are called, they have received more applause and cheers.

But there was one exception, although he had only participated in one World Cup, but when the fans shouted his name, he received no less cheers and applause than the old players, or even better.

This person is none other than Lin Quan.

He is the number one contributor to Spain's victory in this World Cup and is the undisputed core of the team.

His performances at the World Cup are evident and no one can erase his outstanding contribution to the team!

So he deserves preferential treatment!

Not only the fans treated Lin Quan specially, but even the Spanish royal family also took special care.

After the return of the entire Spanish team, Felipe VI hosted a celebratory banquet in the royal palace to which all members of the Spanish team were invited.

And after this celebration banquet, the king also awarded Lin Quan the Queen Isabel Medal.

It was reinstated in Spain in 1998 and was awarded to individuals and institutions that have made an outstanding contribution to the country or to promote international relations.

In addition to the medal, Princess Leonor fulfilled the promise and granted him the title of Baron.

Although the Spanish title is not valuable, but there is a noble name, isn't it?

Lin Quan is not the first member of the national team to be awarded, as Bosque was awarded the title of Marquis by the Old King four years ago for leading the team to the first World Cup title in Spain's history.

This made Lin Quan a little suspicious, if it was not Princess Leonor who knighted him, but Felipe VI, would he be able to get a viscount or even an earl?
