Chapter 180: The God of Free Kicks, Buffon is reduced to a background board!

"The ball is in!"

"Unbelievable goal, unbelievable!"

"Lin Quan almost relied on his personal strength to single-handedly challenge the entire Italian defense!"

In the CCTV studio, the two commentators almost blew Lin Quan into the sky.

However, the audience who was watching this game did not feel that there was anything wrong with what the commentator said, because Lin Quan deserved such praise!

More than 80,000 fans in the stands of the Stade de France were shocked after witnessing Lin Quan's goal throughout the whole process!

This ball should only be in the sky, how many times can I smell it in the world?

A moment later, there was warm applause and cheers that resounded through the sky.

Tens of thousands of fans at the scene applauded and cheered Lin Quanbao with the warmest applause and cheers, even Italian fans, after seeing this goal, they couldn't help but be impressed.

"Well done!"

The moment Bosque saw Lin Quan complete the goal, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and ran around the sidelines frantically, hugging each other when he caught someone, regardless of whether the other party was from the Spanish side or not.

In the stands, Guardiola's eyes widened in surprise after seeing Lin Quan complete the goal.

This goal reminded him of Messi's goal against Real Madrid, where Busquez's assist of the century and Messi's classic scene of inspecting Real Madrid's backline are still fresh in his memory after many years.

However, Lin Quan's goal was more difficult than Messi's goal, because he had less room to move and the opposing backline was more prepared.

But even so, the kid scored the ball.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Guardiola would never have believed it.

"This kid, the state started too early!"

Guardiola is both relieved and a little worried.

Lin Quan is in such a good state, and the next games will inevitably be targeted by the opponent.

This made Guardiola a little worried, worried that Lin Quan's state would decline after being targeted by the other party.

Including him, many people can see how much role Lin Quan has for this Spanish team.

If his form declines, it will be very difficult for Spain to go far in the European Championships.

Pep Guardiola thinks about the long-term, but for Italy coach Antonio Conte, how to solve Lin Quan is the immediate problem facing their team.

If there is no way to limit Lin Quan's play, Italy will lose this game.

……

After Spain took the lead, the players gained a lot of confidence and not only played more patiently, but also became more confident.

On the Italian side, on the other hand, they were obviously hit hard by the goal they just conceded.

After the restart, many of their players were in a daze and did not get into the groove for a long time.

Some Italian players on the pitch wanted to attack in order to equalize.

There are also some players who feel that they should first stand on the defense and block the climax of Spain's attack.

There was disagreement within the team, which led to some confusion in the Italian team.

Naturally, Spain will not miss such a good opportunity.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, Spain launched another onslaught, and they still seized on Desiglio's point to hit hard.

Taking advantage of the opponent's frightened bird mentality, Lin Quan cooperated with the right full-back Juan Fran to easily complete the breakthrough, and then handed the ball to Juan Fran, who went down quickly, and he resolutely stepped forward along the ribs.

Giaccherini was taken away by Juanfran and the defender became De Rossi who came to fill in.

As soon as De Rossi pounced, Juanfran passed the ball back to Lin Quan, who saw Parolo on the other side moving, seized the gap in the rotation of the opponent's defense, and passed the ball through the middle.

As soon as De Rossi was gone, Iniesta was liberated.

With ball carrier Lin Quan pressing the Italian defence, and Parolo having just completed a mobile fill-in, Iniesta had no defenders in front of him.

The ball was at his feet, and he had at least a second and a half to take it to his devices.

Iniesta stopped the ball to observe, Morata , Lin Quan and David Silva were all rushing forward, although the opponent's formation was still very intact, but under the pull of the Spanish offensive trident, there were a lot of gaps.

Andres Iniesta made a quick choice among the three, but just as he was about to pass the ball, he was brought down by Pelle who tackled from behind.

Pelle was originally running for the ball, intending to take advantage of Iniesta's inattention and snatch the ball from under his feet, but he didn't expect to kick the ball without touching it.

After the foul, Pelle didn't plead anything, and directly reached out to signal that he had fouled, and then pulled Iniesta, who fell to the ground, up.

Although Pelle admitted his mistake well, the referee still felt that his tackle was dangerous, so he showed him a yellow card.

Iniesta gritted his teeth and rubbed his kicked calf, which was still painful despite the protection of the shin guards.

However, Pelle still relented in the last moment, otherwise, he was afraid that he would be more seriously injured.

Spain's counter-attack was disrupted and a free-kick was awarded from a position about 38 yards from goal.

It's a bit far from the goal, so it's a bit difficult to shoot straight at goal.

So Iniesta discussed with Lin Quan, Xiaofa and others to see how to deal with this ball.

"Do you want to play a tactical match, we let Ramos and Pique go to the penalty area to fight for the top?"

The overall height of the Spanish squad is not very high, except for the goalkeeper, there are only four players who are more than 1.8 meters tall, including one hundred meters 81 Juan Fran.

Therefore, there are very few people who can go to the box to fight for the header, and the most suitable candidates are naturally the two central defenders Pique and Ramos.

In fact, Morata's header ability is also good, but this guy is nervous and not very stable, so he is not expected to have much hope by his teammates.

Lin Quan glanced at the players opposite, Chiellini was 1.87 meters, Bonucci was 1.90 meters, and the shortest Barzagli was also 1.86 meters.

Counting De Rossi, 1.85 meters, Parolo and Pelle, 1.94 meters, Spain is going to grab a header from the opponent?

"Or let's shoot directly, our high points are too few, the opponent's height advantage is obvious, if you hoist the ball into the penalty area, it is equivalent to giving the ball to the opponent."

Xiaofa, Xiaobai and the others glanced at each other's lineup and nodded one after another.

"Then you can punish this kick, the distance is a bit out of my range!"

Xiaobai took the initiative to give up the ball, and the distance of nearly 40 meters was indeed not within his range.

Xiaofa also nodded and agreed: "Don't you have an S-shaped free kick stunt?" I feel like I can give it a try, so let's just let you play! ”

Since both of them decided to hand over the free throws to Lin Quan, Lin Quan did not refuse.

He picked up the ball and stomped the turf before putting it down.

Seeing Lin Quan's action, everyone understood that he was going to take this free kick.

The discovery immediately piqued the interest of the fans!

Perhaps in terms of fame, Lin Quan's free kicks are not as big as those of Juninho Jr. and Robert Carlos, but absolutely no goalkeeper dares to underestimate Lin Quan's free kicks.

Italy's goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is a victim of this!

Therefore, when he saw Lin Quan standing in front of the football on the Spanish side, Buffon suddenly sounded the alarm bell in his heart.

With such a long distance, there aren't many options for shooting.

Elevator balls? S free-kick?

Probably these two options, right?

Gianluigi Buffon is currently the most experienced goalkeeper in football and has faced countless free-kick masters.

After he roughly determined Lin Quan's possible choice in his heart, he was ready to deal with it.

After Lin Quan placed the ball, he stepped back step by step.

After taking seven or eight steps back, he glanced in the direction of the goal, took a deep breath, and began to run.

Here it comes!

Buffon's eyes widened, his mind was highly concentrated, and he stared intently at Lin Quan's every move.

The Italian human wall was also staring at Lin Quan's steps, ready to jump and intercept at any time.

One step, two steps, three steps......

Lin Quan quickly came to the front of the football, and Buffon judged that he was going to shoot with his left foot based on his steps.

Although Lin Quan did not have a backfoot, Buffon studied his free-kicks and found that most of the time, he used his right foot.

Why is it the left foot this time?

Is he going to take a new free-kick approach?

Although many thoughts flashed in his heart, Buffon's eyes were staring at Lin Quan, and even the other party's tight thighs and swinging calves could be seen clearly.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you see it.

Lin Quan's left thigh swing was very small, and the ball seemed to be completely using his calf to exert force.

The advantage of this will greatly affect the goalkeeper's ability to judge the path of the ball, further squeezing their reaction time.

It's just, how does this action feel familiar?

Bang!

There was a loud bang, and Lin Quan's left outside of his foot was heavily pumped under the football near the valve.

The ball soared into the sky, very fast and with a strong spin.

Just by looking at it, you know it's a powerful shot.

Many people felt amazed, how could Lin Quan's small body have such a powerful force and shoot such a powerful shot?

The Spanish and Italian fans in the stands were holding their breath nervously, and the former was praying to God that the ball would hit and kill the suspense of the game once and for all.

The latter are praying as well, but the content of their prayers is very different.

Buffon, who was standing in front of the goal, saw the trajectory of the football in the air, and the feeling of déjà vu in his heart became more and more intense.

He dared to conclude that this was definitely not Lin Quan's usual free kick method!

Although there are many doubts in his heart, Buffon is the world's top goalkeeper, and his reaction speed and saving action are not slow at all.

As the ball flew high over the wall and into the top right corner of the goal, Buffon pounced and stretched out his right hand to block the ball's trajectory.

Seeing this scene, Italian fans breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Despite his age, Gianluigi Buffon is still the most trusted man in the Italian backline.

Seeing that Buffon's fingers had already touched the ball, the Spanish fans in the stands looked like ashes.

Lin Quan's free kick is of extremely high quality, whether it is power, angle, trajectory and arc of flight, it is the top level.

But unfortunately, he met the Italian goalkeeper, Buffon, who has the title of the strongest goalkeeper in football.

However, just when the Italian fans felt stable and the Spanish fans felt finished, Buffon, who had already touched the football with his three hands and fingers, felt a huge force suddenly come from his hand, and slammed his palm away.

What?

That's impossible!

Buffon looked in disbelief at the ball that had changed direction but was still flying towards his own goal, and his heart was like a monstrous wave.

Extreme range, tricky angles, strong spin, and powerful shots.

Everything matches the figure who has been retired for 10 years, his name is - Mihajlovich, who kicked a free kick as a penalty kick and is known as the strongest free kick legend in history!

Buffon finally determined who Lin Quan's free kick was learned at this moment!

But by this time, it was too late, and the ball was already lying in its own net.

The moment the ball crossed the goal line, the referee quickly blew the whistle to signal that the goal was valid.

The score was 2-0 and Spain extended their lead further as the first half drew to a close.

Italy has been cornered at this time!

And Lin Quan's goal completely detonated the whole stadium, and the fans fell into frenzy one by one, and couldn't help but chant his name.

The Spanish players also rushed to Lin Quan like crazy after witnessing this incredible goal, and Morata even knelt down for him and bowed to him to show his adoration.

It was a beautiful goal, it was Buffon!

There are really very few people who can make Buffon save and get out!

Seeing Morata's movements, other players followed suit and worshiped Lin Quan, even some veteran players who were older than him and had older qualifications than him.

This scene stunned the fans at the scene.

"It turns out that Lin Huang's status in the Spanish team is so high?"

"Looking at the performance of those players, they really worship Lin Huang from the bottom of their hearts!"

"Hehe, if I had such an immortal teammate, I would kneel for him too!"

This is true, a team leader who can lead the team to continuous victories will naturally be admired and loved by the players.

On the sidelines, Bosque was already going crazy.

He found that since Lin Quan returned to the team, the team won the game with great ease, and he didn't have to worry about the game when he sat on the sidelines.

This is a far cry from his previous three group games, when Bosque was still at a bottom when the team was in the lead.

But now it is different, as long as he sees Lin Quan on the field, he is extremely relieved.

The old man was relieved, but Conte couldn't sit still.

His brow was furrowed, Italy had a strong defense, but not many offensive means.

If you're one goal behind, you can still give it a go.

But now it's two goals behind, and it's too difficult to reverse.

This made Conte not know what to do in the second half for a while!
