Chapter 51: Spain VS China

The warm-up matches were not official matches, and the opponents were relatively weak, so some of the young players in the Spanish team seemed a little careless.

It's just the Chinese team, so it's not easy to handle?

Seeing them look like they are so underestimated, the old players in the team can't stand it.

"We have played in the Chinese team before, the defense is good, the attack is average, in the last friendly match, they almost did not pose any threat to our goal, but if we are careless, they will be clean sheets!"

On the training ground, David Silva, who participated in the last warm-up match, spoke.

He was talking about the warm-up match three years ago, when Spain was also preparing for the upcoming European Championship, so they chose two weaker Asian teams - South Korea and China - for the warm-up match.

In the warm-up match on May 31, Spain comfortably defeated South Korea with a score of 4:1.

Considering that the strength of the national football team is weaker than that of the South Korean team, the whole Spanish team feels that this game should be easier.

The handicap offered by the outside world is also that the Spanish team concedes two and a half goals, and almost all of them are optimistic about them to get a big victory.

However, the result of the game was stunned, Spain, who had an absolute advantage in the whole game, were scoreless in front of the defense of the national football team, and they attacked for more than 80 minutes before David Silva finally scored a goal, and finally won 1:0 against the national football team.

This game left a deep impression on the whole of Spain, and made them fully aware of their own shortcomings, that is, the lack of strikers.

It's just that the Spanish team has been unable to solve this problem for a long time, so that a year later, the World Preliminary Tournament is extremely struggling, and even a weak team like Georgia can't win it.

Fortunately, Lin Quan's birth and Bosque's decision to recruit him into the Spanish team as soon as possible finally solved this stubborn problem in Spain.

After they planned Diego Costa, the outside world will no longer say that they are weak when it comes to evaluating this Spanish team.

After all, the ferocious firepower of the Spanish team in last year's World Cup was obvious to the whole world.

"Really? Is the national football team so powerful? ”

Morata looks like I don't read much, don't lie to me.

He will be skeptical of David Silva's words: We have a god like Ringo and me in the team, and we can't win a third-rate team like the national football team?

Kid me!

Isco and other young players also came over curiously.

Their eyes all looked at Lin Quan, Lin Quan is a Chinese player, so he should be more aware of the strength of the Chinese team, right?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lin Quan coughed lightly and said:

"Don't underestimate the national football team!"

"Why? I don't think their record is very good, right? ”

Morata scratched his head, the performance of the Asian teams in last year's World Cup could not be more difficult, all the participating Asian teams did not win even a game, and almost all of them finished at the bottom.

And in such a region, the national football team has missed three consecutive World Cups, and this strength doesn't look like it's very strong!

"Hehe, haven't you heard a word?"

Lin Quan said with a smile: "The national football team in the main match can only be regarded as third-rate or even fourth-rate, but in the warm-up match, the strength of the national football team can be improved to a higher level, and the French team has been defeated at their feet back then." ”

Yes? Can't France beat them?

As soon as they heard this, the expressions of the Spanish players really became a lot more serious.

Although France are no match for Spain, they are definitely a strong team in Europe.

The national football team can defeat the French team, and there is indeed a possibility that they will capsize in the gutter.

In the face of such an opponent, the Spanish team, as the world No. 1, must definitely give it their all.

If you accidentally capsize in the gutter, it will be a loss of death!

"Don't hold back tomorrow's game, come out with all your strength, and try to score goals!"

Seeing that everyone's expressions became serious, Lin Quan opened his mouth and said to Morata and a few other friends.

"Well, Brother Lin, we listen to you!"

Several people nodded heavily, they were all Lin Quan's followers, and they naturally obeyed Lin Quan's words.

The team is going through a painful period of alternating between the old and the new, and Bosque will give many young players opportunities during this time.

But whether they can gain a foothold in the national team depends on their own performance.

In this context, the young players who have been called up are motivated to impress the coaching staff with their outstanding performances on the pitch and confirm their status as internationals.

Under the leadership of Lin Quan, these young players are extremely active and serious on the training ground.

This serious momentum and strong fighting spirit made the coaching staff on the sidelines nod with satisfaction:

"Yes, the young players are very motivated, there are no cheaters, no one who doesn't train seriously!"

"Hehe, it's mainly Lin Quan who took the lead!"

"Yes, he is so strong, he is still meticulous in training, and he even often trains himself, why are others embarrassed to be lazy?"

Hearing what the coaching staff was talking about, Bosque was very satisfied.

I didn't expect that my arrangement of promoting Lin Quan to vice captain would also bring such an effect, which was a bit unexpected.

But that's a good thing, as few of the younger generation of Spanish players have the talent and ability to match the likes of Xavi and Andres Iniesta.

If they can't train hard, the strength of the Spanish national team will definitely decline.

Now, with Lin Quan playing a leading role in front, these players can guard against arrogance and rashness, recognize their own strength faster, and make up for the lack of talent with harder training.

In this case, the future Spanish team may not be as good as this one in terms of ceiling, but the lower limit should not be much worse.

After all, with Lin Quan, the Spanish team can be among the world's best teams no matter what.

As for whether it can still sit firmly on the throne of the world's No. 1, it depends on the rise speed of other strong teams.

Realizing that this generation of players cannot compete with Spain, many teams in Europe have accelerated the promotion of young players.

Among them, the fastest and best is the coach of the French team, Didier Deschamps.

When he thinks about the French team that Deschamps is building, Bosque feels a lot of pressure.

"It seems that tomorrow's friendly match will arrange some young players to come out for training!"

Deschamps dares to promote and reuse young people, why wouldn't he Bosk?

On the training ground, when Bosque announced his starting line-up for tomorrow, it immediately drew cheers from the young players.

In tomorrow's starting line-up, there are 8 post-90s players.

Among the veteran players, except for Ramos and Lin Quan, everyone else rested on the bench.

Of course, there is no limit to the number of substitutions in the friendly match, so there is a high probability that these veteran players will get the chance to play in the second half.

After all, with so many fans coming to watch the game, you can't always let a group of substitutes come on the field to fool people!

……

The Spanish team has many stars and fame, plus the existence of Lin Quan, the first person in football, so their training ground attracts a large number of fans and reporters to watch.

Most of these reporters and fans are coming for Lin Quan.

Therefore, as long as they saw Lin Quan make some wonderful passes, breakthroughs and shooting actions on the training ground, they would scream and cheer, and the cheering and cheering were endless.

Some fans were still there shouting 'Lin Huang is awesome', 'Lin Huang is one more in' and something like that.

The Spanish players couldn't understand Chinese, so they didn't know what the people outside were shouting.

After hearing their cheers and cheers, the veterans had something to say, and their mentality was relatively peaceful, and they saw more of this kind of occasion.

But the young players are a bit of a stretch, they are riveting their strength to show their quality in front of these fans, even if it is a warm-up game within the team, it is as serious as an official game.

The veteran players didn't take this kind of intra-team training game too seriously, and they usually played against the younger players, so as not to cast a psychological shadow on these juniors.

But after these young players got serious, they had to follow suit.

After all, even if they don't want to show themselves in front of these fans, they can't be embarrassed in front of everyone!

They are the main players anyway, if they are abused by a group of substitutes, wouldn't it be disgraceful to pass it out?

As a result, the veteran players were also forced to roll up together.

The spectators outside the stadium didn't know what was going on inside the stadium, they were just deeply attracted by the game!

"Worthy of being a world champion, the intensity of a training match in the Spanish team is so high!"

"I'll go, the strength of the Spanish team is so strong, not only is the main team strong, but the strength of the substitute side is also terrible, and the national football team is only afraid that it will be more auspicious tomorrow!"

"Hehe, what are you afraid of, who the national football team plays is not losing, anyway, it's three to zero, I can do it!"

"I don't think it's necessarily 3:0, the strength of the Spanish team is so strong, maybe there will be a tragedy!"

"Not necessarily, right? The national football team is still very strong in friendly matches, and the last time it played against Spain, it almost drew the opponent! ”

Although fans of the national football team generally think that the national football team will lose, almost no one thinks that the national football team will win.

But some people still have a trace of luck in their hearts, thinking that if the national football team goes all out to put the bus, they may be able to draw Spain.

After all, this is their own home stadium, and the national football team almost did it in the last meeting!

Just when the Spanish team was seriously preparing for the game, the national football team was not idle.

The coach of the national football team, Perrin, is arranging for the national football team to practice various defensive tactics.

Although Perrin is not well-known, in the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, he led the Chinese team to win all three games in the group stage and won the first place in the group.

Although it quickly lost to the champion Australia in the knockout stage, this result is very dazzling for the national football team that is in a trough.

If the national football team is a little more lucky and does not draw Australia, which is the strongest in the second place in the group, it may have a chance to break into the semi-finals.

It is precisely because of the outstanding results in the Asian Cup that the Football Association decided to renew the contract with Perran.

Obviously, the Football Association has high hopes for Perrin, hoping that he can lead the national football team out of the trough and attack the next World Cup.

Although Perrin is not as famous as Camacho, he has one thing that is better, that is, he is very serious about his work.

When the tactics are arranged, they can be based on the characteristics of the national football players.

What are the characteristics of the national football team?

Poor technique at the feet, poor psychological quality, poor physical confrontation......

Anyway, I can't find any advantages.

Since everyone's foot skills are rough, Perrin simply selected a group of players with outstanding physical fitness and let them rely on physical confrontation to make up for the shortcomings of their foot skills.

The advantage of this is that at least the physical confrontation ability has gone up, and not all of them are shortcomings.

The disadvantage is that the national football team can't play any tricks, the offensive means are single, and if the opponent strengthens the defense, the national football team may be difficult to score.

However, it doesn't matter at all for tomorrow's game.

Because they are facing the world champions Spain, no one is optimistic that the national football team can win tomorrow's game, and Perrin and the players of the national football team think so.

Since you can't win, you don't need to think about the offense, and you can solve the defense problem first.

The whole world knows that the Spanish team is known for its skill at the feet, and its physical confrontation ability is actually relatively average.

In last year's World Cup final, they were suppressed by the German team in physical confrontation.

Of course, the physical confrontation ability of the national football team and the German team are definitely not comparable.

But they don't need to be as successful as the Germans, they just need to shrink their formation to their own half, or even to a small area at the edge of their penalty area.

In this way, their defensive intensity can be greatly improved, leaving the Spanish team to thread the needle and play with space to penetrate the ground will be greatly reduced.

In this case, increasing the intensity of physical confrontation can be an excellent defensive strategy.

Thinking of this, Perrin decided on tomorrow's tactics.

……

Time flies, and soon it's race day.

Before the start of the game, the huge bird's nest was packed, and more than 90,000 fans came to the stadium.

Although the reputation of the national football team is very stinky, the record is not good.

However, there are still many fans wearing red jerseys to support the national football team, and most of them are fans of the national football team.

They carried all kinds of slogans and banners, such as 'the national football team should not be cowardly, just do it', 'the national football team rises', 'the national football team overturns Spain' and so on.

To be honest, the record of the national football team is somewhat unworthy of the support of these fans.

Because it was away from home, Spain did not wear the red jersey and opted for the white jersey played away.

The number of fans wearing white jerseys to support the Spanish team is relatively small, they don't wear many main white uniforms, and they also wear red uniforms in most games, but the national football team uses red, and the Spanish team naturally has to change its uniform.

However, the white team uniform is still very good-looking, and when I look at it from a distance, I thought it was Real Madrid on the field!

Before the start of the game, the fans stood up collectively and sang the national anthem loudly, which was amazing.

When it was the turn of the Spanish team, there was silence on the scene, and even the Spanish players on the field did not speak.

The reason is that the Spanish national anthem has no lyrics......
