Chapter 56: 4:0 at halftime, the Japanese were beaten stupid
After saving Keisuke Honda's penalty, De Gea let out a roar of excitement.
Saving a penalty kick is a great test for a goalkeeper, and no matter how solid the goalkeeper is, there is no guarantee that he will be able to save the opponent's penalty.
Therefore, any successful save is a return to the goalkeeper's own strength to the extreme, plus a certain amount of luck, and deserves applause.
On the field, the Spanish players saw that De Gea actually saved the opponent's penalty, and they all ran over excitedly to pat his buttocks, touch his head, and send encouragement and praise.
"Well done, David!"
Lin Quan also came back and hugged De Gea, De Gea's skills in the small penalty area are not to be said, that is, the control range and attack ability are weak.
If he can improve his attacking skills in a targeted manner, then De Gea's strength will only get stronger.
"Thank you!"
Receiving Lin Quan's praise, De Gea was very happy in his heart.
This is the recognition of the big guy in the team!
Don't look at Lin Quan's age, but in the Spanish team, he is a well-deserved top name, and the entire Spanish team will build around him in the future.
If you want to gain a foothold in the Spanish team in the future, you must have a good relationship with Lin Quan.
De Gea plays for Manchester United, and Lin Quan's team is a sworn enemy.
So the two don't have much contact in private, and even because of this relationship with the club, De Gea is a little worried in his heart, worried that Lin Quan will not treat him.
This has not happened for Spain, as the players of Barcelona and Real Madrid brought this tension to the national team a few years ago, after a lot of animosity had amassed in the league and the Champions League.
This has led to the emergence of obvious factions in the Spanish national team - the Barcelona gang and the Real Madrid gang!
This internal contradiction will inevitably affect the strength of the Spanish team, so it is difficult to say that the rapid decline of the Spanish team in history has nothing to do with this.
Fortunately, Lin Quan is not this kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong.
What club De Gea plays for does not affect his evaluation of De Gea.
Unless the other person has really done something against themselves.
De Gea, who is in great form, is getting better and better in the rest of the game, and he is becoming more and more of a general.
On the bench, Casillas saw De Gea's performance so well, with a complicated look in his eyes and a somewhat mixed mood.
This summer, Casillas' contract with Real Madrid expired.
However, Real Madrid did not send him an invitation to renew his contract, and it is clear that Real Madrid do not intend to keep him.
It may seem unbelievable to say that, as a two-time World Cup winner and winner of the Golden Glove Award, Casillas is strong enough to rank in the top three of today's goalkeepers.
Although he is a little older now, his form will decline a little bit.
But the position of goalkeeper is getting more and more wanted.
Juventus' goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, the first person in the world to be older than him, is not the same as sitting firmly in the main position of Juventus?
Therefore, Real Madrid's purge of Cassie is not entirely because of age.
As for what the real reason is, Casillas actually has some speculation in his mind.
Back in 2010, Mourinho's first season at Real Madrid, in a FIFA best coach selection, there were rumors that Casillas did not vote for Mourinho.
This caused displeasure in Mourinho, and the relationship between the two sides within the team has not been good.
During Mourinho's time at Real Madrid, he had been slamming Casillas' journalist girlfriend for leaking information about the team, and the relationship between the two was strained.
Although there is no conclusive evidence for these news, the outflow of these rumors has itself had an impact on Casillas's reputation.
Although Mourinho has since left, the impact of these events has not subsided.
And the president of the club, Florentillo, also has a lot of complaints about Cassie because of this, and he doesn't like the captain very much.
Florentilo has publicly expressed interest in goalkeepers such as David De Gea and Gianluigi Buffon, which is undoubtedly a hint to Casey to pack up his things and leave early.
As the captain of Real Madrid, Casillas also knows in his heart that if he continues to rely on Real Madrid, he may not have any good results.
He joined Real Madrid at the age of nine and has been with Real Madrid for 25 years so far.
For such a long time, Casillas knew very well that very few players could get a good end at Real Madrid.
It's not as good as Raul!
Naturally, he couldn't do it either, so when he was slow to receive a contract extension from the club at the end of the season, Casillas knew it was time for him to leave.
Cassie has a faint hunch in his heart that after he leaves, it is likely that it will be De Gea who will replace his place in the Real Madrid team, right?
As a result, his place in the national team and club was taken away by the same person.
It's no wonder the way he looks at De Gea is so complicated......
……
On the pitch, after the main players of Spain appeared one after another, the situation of the game immediately changed dramatically.
Compared to the substitutes, Spain's main players are not only stronger, but also more experienced.
They did not immediately attack the Japanese team after they came on the field, but slowly used their possession advantage to control the situation on the field little by little.
After losing possession of the ball, the Japanese team played more and more passively, and the offense could not play at all, so they could only be forced to follow the rhythm of Spain and shrink to their own half of the court little by little.
It didn't take long for the entire Japanese team to retreat into their own half, and their space for movement dropped significantly, and the Spanish team pressed them in the Japanese half.
Here it comes!
The Japanese fans at the scene all cheered up, and their long-awaited Western-style pass-and-control football appeared!
"Let's let the strongest tactics of the world champion test the strength of our Japanese team!"
Seeing the Spanish team use their pass-and-control tactics, the fans of the Japanese team were worried and full of anti-expectation.
Spain is known for its pass-and-control tactics, which are invincible tactics in the world.
In the world, no team has been able to withstand the siege of Spain's tactics.
How horrible was Spain during this time?
Someone has made statistics, when encountering Spain in an international competition, it is not surprising to lose two or less, three to lose, and four or five to lose.
The only team to lose by just one goal is Argentina, led by Lionel Messi and with a large number of top stars in the team.
Other top teams such as the Netherlands and Germany were all beaten by Spain!
The horrors of Spain have long since reached the level of household names.
In the face of such a terrible opponent, it is normal for the Japanese to be afraid.
However, they are afraid and look forward to it at the same time, just like in their anime that exploded for the second time, when the protagonist was suppressed by the villain, he suddenly woke up and burst out with amazing power, and finally defeated the villain.
In the eyes of the Japanese, they themselves are obviously the protagonists, and the villains are naturally Spain opposite.
On the sidelines, Japan's head coach Halilhodzic frowned.
Spain's pass-and-control football is well deserved, and he doesn't see any flaws in the opponent's tactics at the moment.
This style of play was completely different from the usual style of play of the Spanish team in the first half, and the whole Japanese team felt a lot of pressure.
Sweat was pouring out of their foreheads, and they had to be up to the clock in the face of the Spanish players' pin-and-needle runs and passes up front.
Because as long as they relax a little, they may be found by the other party and launch a fatal blow.
It's just that people are not iron-clad, and it is impossible to maintain this state of full concentration all the time.
Even if their bodies can bear it, their spirits can't bear it.
In the 35th minute of the first half, after a ten-minute siege of the Japanese team.
Spain's frantic offensive seems to have finally stopped!
Seeing that the opponent's offensive had eased, the players of the Japanese team were relieved.
If they were to be besieged like this again, they would all die of exhaustion.
However, just when they were secretly relieved, the Spanish side suddenly picked up speed.
David Silva suddenly cut inside with the ball, and after a series of one-two cooperation with Lin Quan, Iniesta and others, Lin Quan got the ball at the front of the penalty area.
Seeing that the person holding the ball was Lin Quan, the defenders of the Japanese team instantly tensed, and they all felt their scalps tingle.
Before the game, Halilhodzic told them to be careful of Lin Quan and not to give him a chance.
However, Lin Quan did not enter the starting list, and they did not encounter Lin Quan in the first 20 minutes, which made them gradually relax their vigilance in their hearts.
At this time, when Lin Quan appeared on the line of the penalty area with the ball, the fear in their hearts was awakened.
For a while, Makoto Hasebe, Takatoku Sakai and others all rushed towards Lin Quan.
At this time, they had forgotten about defensive tactics or something in their minds, and there was only one thought, that is, to stop Lin Quan, not to let him break into the penalty area, let alone let him shoot.
Not only were the players of the Japanese team on the pitch nervous, but in the stands, seeing Lin Quan rushing to the Japanese team's penalty area with the ball, tens of thousands of Japanese fans also raised their hearts to their throats.
However, after seeing the bag of their three defenders, they were all relieved.
In such a small space, it is absolutely impossible to succeed against three defenders on your own!
Although there is a video of Lin Quan one-on-five single-handedly facing the Chinese team's backline on the Internet, the Japanese are dismissive of it.
What is the strength of the Japanese team and what is the strength of the Chinese team?
Can this be compared?
Their players are much better than their next-door neighbors, after all, many people in the Japanese team play in the five major leagues, how can the national football team be compared to them?
Three-on-one, the advantage is in me, stable!
However, in the next second, they were all dumbfounded!
I don't know what magic Lin Quan used, the football seemed to have life, rolling around like an elf under his feet, easily resolving the opponent's three-person bag, and smoothly breaking out of the encirclement.
The goalkeeper of the Japanese team, Eiji Kawashima, is stupid!
Is that okay?
Can you break through to success in one pick and three?
Are your three teammates papier-mâché?
Seeing that the goalkeeper of the Japanese team was actually stunned, Lin Quan could only give up the idea of passing the goalkeeper and decisively chose to shoot.
After all, the opponent didn't leave the goal, and he really couldn't pass.
Eiji Kawashima only had time to make a subconscious save, but the ball flew into the goal before he could make the move.
The score became 1:0 and the Spanish team took the lead!
This goal can only be regarded as a basic exercise for Lin Quan, so after his teammates saw him score, they just rushed up to hug him, or patted him on the shoulder and praised him, and they didn't seem to be very excited.
For these players, no matter what feat Lin Quan accomplishes, they are not surprised.
Busquez and Iniesta even have a feeling that Lin Quan has surpassed Messi in his prime.
As Messi's teammates, they know better than anyone the horrors of Messi at his peak.
However, at this time, Lin Quan gave them a better feeling on the court, and even this was not his ceiling!
This guy seems to have no upper limit, and you never know where his limits are.
Compared with the 'well-informed' Spanish players, the Japanese team was stunned as if they had been struck by lightning.
Three packs of one, actually failed!
Fake, right?
The plot that only exists in anime has actually been staged in reality!
It was not only the players on the field who were shocked, but also the tens of thousands of Japanese fans in the stands.
I thought that the multi-person package of the national football team was broken by Lin Quan, but I didn't expect to change them, but there was still no change.
Doesn't this mean that the Japanese team is the same as the national football team?
No, absolutely not!
Since this is not the case, there is only one reasonable explanation - Lin Quan is too strong!
The Japanese have a very strong mentality, and when they meet someone weaker than themselves, they don't treat each other as human beings at all.
But when they encounter someone stronger than themselves, they can kneel and lick fancy ways, and find 10,000 reasons for themselves to rationalize this behavior.
Just like now, seeing Lin Quan easily defeat their players, the Japanese can't wait to worship Lin Quan as a god.
It's too strong, it's too strong!
It deserves to be the first in the world, it's really strong!
So, something very interesting happened on the field.
This is obviously the home stadium of the Japanese team, but there are a lot of voices cheering for Lin Quan.
Especially those female fans whose voices are very penetrating, their cheers in unison were heard even by Lin Quan on the court.
Turning his head, good guys, some female fans have begun to hold up all kinds of slogans, portraits and banners to cheer for him, and from time to time let out a cheering sound of 'just done'.
This scene made Lin Quan's soles slip and almost fall on the ground.
His teammates don't know Japanese, and when they saw Sakura Girl turn against each other, they actually started to cheer for the Spanish team, and the Spanish players all wanted to behave in front of Sakura Girl.
As a result, the Japanese team was unlucky.
They had not yet recovered from the shock of conceding a goal before suffering a series of heavy blows over the next ten minutes.
In the 38th minute, Iniesta scored with an assist from Lin Quan, rewriting the score to 2:0.
Two minutes later, David Silvane scored from distance to make it 3-0.
In the injury time of the first half, Lin Quan used an extremely elegant S-shaped free kick to make the score 4:0.
In the first 20 minutes of the game, the two teams were still playing back and forth, and when the Japanese team awarded the penalty, they once fantasized about beating Spain.
But when the whistle blew at the end of the first half, all their dreams were shattered.
All that's left is fear!
From the 35th minute, Spain has scored 4 goals in a row in just ten minutes!
What they thought was open was just that the opponent was not serious.
Once the opponent gets serious, they are like papier-mâché, and they are not vulnerable at all!
What made the Japanese even more terrifying was that they conceded four goals in 10 minutes and had 45 minutes left in the second half.
If Spain had played with the efficiency of this goal, it would have been only a matter of time before Japan was kicked out of the team's record.
