The number 10 shirt was originally worn by Cesc Fabregas, but in last year's European Championship qualifiers, he gave it up to Lin Quan, the real heart of the team.

Although for Lin Quan, the No. 7 or No. 11 jersey is fine, but the No. 10 jersey obviously has a special meaning.

So he didn't shirk it, and naturally accepted Xiaofa's gift.

Although the Italians had doubted that Lin Quan might play in this game before the game, based on the information they gathered and the guesses they made, they judged that most of Lin's injuries all over his body were not healed.

So even if he played, at most he only played in the second half, and he didn't expect Lin Quan to start the game.

This greatly surprised the Italians and made all their pre-match arrangements in vain.

In this game, Italy originally wanted to play a little more actively.

But now that they saw Lin Quan appear in the starting list, they suddenly didn't dare to do so.

When the players from both sides came out, tens of thousands of fans at the scene suddenly exclaimed when they saw Lin Quan in Spain's starting lineup.

"I'll go, I'm not mistaken, Emperor Lin actually appeared?"

Before the game, many experts swore that Lin Quan had completely missed this European Cup.

As a result, I didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly, and when everyone was not ready, it suddenly appeared, and directly appeared as the main starter!

This makes people have to wonder, is it a trap deliberately laid by the Spaniards?

"Hehe, I have a hunch that the Italians seem to be unlucky!"

After seeing clearly that it was really Lin Quan who appeared on the field, the eyes of some fans became playful, with a sense of schadenfreude waiting to see a good show.

"Spain has also been an Italian nemesis in the past few years, I don't know if the Italians can get back on the field in this game!"

As it turned out, the Italians were completely disrupted by the Spanish hand, and once the game started, they had to settle down and choose to hold on to the defence.

And this choice made them quickly lose the initiative and fell into a situation of passive beating.

This disappointed many fans at the scene, especially those who were optimistic about Italy.

You can't be beaten passively like this when you beat Spain, with Spain's attack power, if you don't fight back blindly like this, you will definitely not be able to hold it!

These people were still ridiculing the Spanish players for not knowing how to attack, and the back foot began to worry that Italy's steel defense would not be able to withstand the destruction of Spain.

This is not because they are schizophrenic, but because Lin Quan's appearance has revitalized Spain's frontcourt attack system and greatly improved Spain's offensive power!

Although Morata performed very well in the first two games, only this one, when Lin Quan played, did he find the feeling of flying in the sky and leaping in the sea.

It's so cool to have a top-level support around you!

With Lin Quan's presence, the opponent's defense against him is greatly reduced, and Lin Quan's organization, breakthrough and passing ability can send him a lot of shells.

As long as he can run out of space, he can always receive a pass from his teammates at the first time.

It's not just Morata, Andres Iniesta, David Silva, Cesc Fabregas, Busquez and others feel the same way.

When Lin Quan was present, these people all felt that the burden on their shoulders suddenly became a lot lighter.

When Iniesta gets the ball, Lin Quan can always get it in place, so that he can get the ball out safely.

When David Silva broke through on the side, Lin Quanneng pulled the side in time to form a small-scale cooperation with him, allowing him to give full play to his advantages of being good at small-range passing and cutting cooperation.

Every time Cesc Fabregas wants to make a long pass, he can always see Lin Quan appear in the passing line he expected, and even many times, the passing opportunities he can see are created by Lin Quan on his own initiative!

Lin Quan not only played a huge role on the offensive end, but also played a big role on the defensive end.

When the opponent launched a counterattack, Lin Quan was always the first to return to defense, and the depth of the defense was very deep.

With him, Busquez can be more assured and bold to steal and intercept, frequently stifle Italy's attack in the midfield, and not give them the opportunity to dribble into the 30-meter danger zone.

With Lin Quan on the field, there seemed to be several more people on the Spanish field, he used diligent and active running, huge range of activities and positive attitude, one person completed the work of several people, not only sorted out the Spanish front field in an orderly manner, but also formed a barrier in the Spanish midfield, so that the Italians' counterattack ended without a problem.

Bosque watched from the sidelines and was a thriller!

See, what is a superstar?

It's called a superstar!

We are so lucky to have a player like Lin in our Spanish team!

In the Italian coach's box, Coach Conte became more and more frightened the more he watched.

Although Spain had not yet scored at this time, Italy's defense was already crumbling under the opposition's attack.

Can a Lin Quan bring such a big change to Spain?

If he didn't know these players on the field, he really couldn't have related this Spain team to the Spain team in the group stage!

It's not a team of a grade at all!

In the stands, Guardiola saw Lin Quan playing so actively after coming on the field, frequently sprinting and running at any cost, constantly showing his presence at both offensive and defensive ends.

He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, this kid hasn't played for too long, I'm afraid he's suffocated.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Italian coach Conte with some sympathy, and the Italian was also unlucky.

If Bosque hadn't used up all three places early in the last game, Lin Quan would have played in the last game against Croatia.

If he had played in the last game, he wouldn't have been so hungry for the game, and in that case, against Italy, Italy might have died a little bit more decently.

But the thought was only fleeting, and Guardiola didn't let it stay in his head for long.

He doesn't want to do anything, he doesn't want to think about anything, he just wants to watch the game quietly.

In his opinion, it is completely a pleasure to enjoy Lin Quan's football up close, because this is simply an art!

……

Guardiola is not the only one who pays close attention to Lin Quan's every move, the coach of the French team, Didier Deschamps, and the coach of the German team, Loew, are also paying close attention to this game at this time.

Since the European Championship is held on French soil, the French team is bound to win the championship.

However, before they can win the cup, they have to climb the Spanish mountain.

Originally, they seemed to have a good chance, but at this time, seeing the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in Spain after Lin Quan's comeback, Deschamps's heart couldn't help but start to feel apprehensive.

Can this French team under his command really defeat Spain in full form?

Compared with Deschamps, Loew's attitude is obviously more uneasy.

After Germany's victory over Slovakia, the next round will be the winner between Italy and Spain.

Although the game had just begun, and the score was still 0:0, Loew had already sentenced the Italian team to death in his heart.

Barring a miracle, Antonio Conte's side will be knocked out of the tournament by Spain.

In this way, in the quarter-finals, the opponent of the German team is Spain!

Two years have passed since the last World Cup, and the strength of the German team has increased in two years.

Although striker Klose has retired from the national team, among the younger generation, Muller has fully grown up, and Kroos is not injured this time and has played with the team.

Spain, on the other hand, has undergone a lot of changes since their World Cup triumph.

A large number of veteran players have withdrawn from the national team, which has weakened Spain's strength a lot.

In this way, compared with two years ago, the German team's winning rate has increased instead of falling.

However, Loew always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and this uneasy feeling reached its peak after he saw Lin Quan.

Could it be that this time, our German team will still lose at the feet of this man?

……

Although Italy is very passive, the Italian defense is not in vain.

In a passive situation, they did not allow Spain to score early with their excellent defense.

Thirty minutes into the first half, the score was still 0-0, although in various statistics, Italy was miserable and almost lost to Spain.

But in the most important score column, they bit hard.

This made the Italian players breathe a little sigh of relief in their hearts, they really played in the first three minutes and they were sweating, almost not catching their breath, and were taken away by the opponent in a wave.

After the most difficult half hour, the Italian players' confidence has regained a lot.

They tested Spain's offensive strength, the opponent's attack power is indeed very strong, and Lin Quan's personal strength is indeed very perverted.

One-on-one defense is almost completely ineffective, and it takes multiple people to limit him.

But what the Italian defence is best at is teamwork, and after the coordination of the three defensive lines, they held the goal and did not allow the opponent to succeed.

Although the scene was a little passive and even embarrassing, the result was always good.

As long as they keep going and look for opportunities to steal a goal, the victory in this game will be theirs.

If it really doesn't work, you can drag the game into extra time or even a penalty shootout.

They can't beat Spain more than attack, but they can't defend it, so they really haven't been afraid of anyone.

After thirty minutes of onslaught, Lin Quan also saw that the Italian defense line was not easy to gnaw.

The opposing players seem to share a brain, one person moves, the whole defense line moves, and there is almost no chance to take advantage of it.

Whoever is the ball carrier on the Spanish side, as soon as they cross the halfway line into the opposition half, Italy will immediately mobilize the defence and hold on to the three impregnable lines facing the ball carrier.

Italy's defense is very particular, the distance between their players is not far or close, but it is difficult to pass the ball directly from the space between the two players, because this is simply a trap deliberately left by the opponent, and if you dare to pass the ball from here, you will be intercepted.

As for the wide range of the ball to move to the open weak side, the opponent is moving inside, the adjustment of the defence is very fast, and the position rotation of their players in the midfield is very flexible, it only takes a few seconds to adjust.

In the face of such a hedgehog, the average team is really a little numb, and I don't know what to do.

But Lin Quan keenly discovered the loopholes in the opponent's defense, that is, the opponent's left midfielder - Desiglio!

Desiglio's average speed, lack of positional sense, and lack of game experience make him a little out of touch with his teammates when defending.

In the 20th minute of the first half, Lin Quan found an opportunity here, and a quick break on the wing caused him to foul and get him a yellow card.

And after receiving the yellow card, Desiglio became more cautious and did not dare to make big moves.

Italy play in a three-centre-back system with no full-backs, which means there is a lot of pressure on their wings.

Spain naturally knew this, so they frequently attacked them from both flanks.

As a fullback, Desiglio assumed a lot of defensive responsibilities, and after finding out his strength and strengths and weaknesses, Lin Quan made a move.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Lin Quan slowly advanced with the ball.

Seeing Lin Quan appear in front of him, Desiglio had to step forward to block it.

At the same time, his teammates quickly moved over and formed a fan defensive formation, blocking Lin Quan's breakthrough and forward passing lines.

It's really tight, don't give a chance!

Seeing that Morata had been completely blocked by the other party, Lin Quan did not risk passing the ball to him.

Instead, he glanced at the left side of the pitch and then shifted the ball to the left side in a wide area and handed it to David Silva.

The Italian was not surprised by Lin Quan's pass, as if he had anticipated his intentions.

Right midfielder Florenz immediately stepped forward to interfere with David Silva.

Nearby De Rossi, Parolo and Barzagli quickly moved over, forming an impermeable defensive line on the left side.

David Silva just stopped the ball, looked up, oh, good guy, I really don't give a chance at all!

It's a pity you're targeting the wrong person!

He took a few lateral steps, and after getting rid of Florenz, he made another large transfer.

And this time, the ball was transferred to the right side!

On the right is where Lin Quan just appeared, so this ball is aimed at Lin Quan!

In a flash of light, the Italians figured this out, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

The Spaniards are out of line, so it's a waste of time to pass around here?

However, when they saw the trajectory of the ball in the air, they all felt bad!

It's not good, it's going in the direction of the bottom line!

Could it be that someone on the side has broken through?

The Italian players turned their heads to look at their left side, and saw that the Spanish player wearing the No. 10 red jersey was speeding up, and behind him, Desiglio was trying his best to catch up, but he couldn't catch up, but was pulled farther and farther!
