Since the communication between Lin Quan and Busquets was in Spanish, the other party only felt that Busquez looked at him very wrong, and it was not clear what was said between the two.

And this soon made him suffer a big loss.

Sergio Busquets is an old fritter who quickly found a way to deal with him after observing Darmian's defensive habits for a while.

In the 71st minute of the second half, Spain counterattacked, and after Lin Quan received the ball, Busquets took the initiative to approach the response.

Lin Quan took the opportunity to pass the ball to him, intending to have a one-two cooperation with him.

Sergio Busquets has a high ball quotient and has played such a famous scene as the assist of the century with Messi.

The Italian side naturally did not dare to ignore his threat, and Darmian was the closest to Busquets, so he almost didn't think about it and rushed directly towards Busquets.

Busquets had already noticed his movements, but pretended not to see them, and took the initiative to stop the ball, as if to observe which teammate he was going to pass the ball to.

Where would Damian let go of such a good opportunity, after seeing the opportunity for a steal, he did not hesitate to stretch his feet.

Busquets waited for this moment, and when the opponent stretched his foot, he made a movement to protect the ball, leaned his body towards the opponent, and at the same time hit Damian with his elbow very covertly.

Damian was knocked out of breath, cold sweat broke out in pain, and his body almost lost his balance, and when he closed his foot, he accidentally stepped on something and almost fell.

He was furious and was about to have a seizure, when he saw Busquez spinning on the ground with his feet in his hands, letting out a heart-rending scream as he whirled.

For a moment, the Damians were stunned.

What's going on?

Didn't he foul me just now?

Why is it that he is hurt?

Could it be that I just stepped on his foot?

But I don't seem to have to use much strength, do I?

Damian was now confused and completely confused.

The two were so close that the referee couldn't see what happened when the two made physical contact, only seeing Damian standing in place, while Busquets was pale in pain and howling.

So the first impression in his mind was that Darmian had made a vicious foul on Busquets!

Beep!

A high-pitched short whistle blew, and the referee walked towards Darmian with a serious expression and showed a yellow card to the Italian player who had just been on the bench for a short time.

Darmian reacted at this time and hurriedly appealed to the referee, indicating that it was Busquets acting, and he didn't kick him at all.

The referee ignored Damian's appeal and protests, and although he did not see Busquets elbow Damian, he did see Damian stomp on Busquets' instep.

So it's not too much to give the other party a yellow card!

Although Busquets was crying on the ground, he had been secretly following the referee's decision.

After seeing the referee show Darmian a yellow card, his heart suddenly blossomed.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills!

Our acting skills are simply Oscar-like!

After getting the result he wanted, Busquets didn't rub on the ground, and quickly stood up, pretending to limp a few times at first, but when his teammate's ball reached his feet, his 'injury' seemed to heal instantly, and he immediately became vibrant.

When Damian saw this, his lungs exploded.

This guy is playing me!

Even if he is a fool, he understands that he has been tricked by the other party.

As a result, the angry Darmian seemed to have forgotten the manager's advice to him, and instead of staring at Lin Quan, he competed with Busquets.

Conte saw that the kid Damian was on the sidelines, and completely forgot his duty, so he was so angry that he rushed up to give this kid a stick!

Darmian has a glaring weakness – poor tactical execution, which is a big reason why he has not been able to go further and even gradually lost his place in the main team at Manchester United.

Italy replaced Fiorentines, weakened their attacking strength, and replaced Darmian's attacking threat that completely locked down Lin Quan as he wished, which gradually changed the situation on the field.

After withstanding this wave of Italian attacks, Spain began to gradually adapt to the opponent's style of play, and their own performance began to pick up.

The direct reflection of this is that Spain's attacking threat has also begun to increase significantly.

Seeing this, Bosque made a decisive substitution adjustment.

He replaced Cesc Fabregas for Pedro.

This is a signal to intensify the offensive!

After Pedro came on the field, Lin Quan's position retreated a little and became a role similar to that of Shadow Striker.

The advantage of not having to be at the front is that Lin Quan faces less defensive pressure, and he can use his organizational skills more calmly to sort out Spain's offensive system, and then decide whether to lead the attack by himself or assist his teammates and let his teammates complete the attack according to the situation on the field.

Lin Quan did not take all the offensive tasks off the shoulder, but chose to cooperate with his teammates and help them score.

Using Pedro's new force, the Spanish team played several beautiful wide combinations in a row in just a few minutes.

Although it did not result in a goal, it put a huge pressure on Italy's defence, forcing them to deploy their troops to focus on defending Spain's attack on the wing.

After seeing that the opponent was hoarding heavy troops on the side, and the defense in the middle seemed to be a little loose, Lin Quan quickly changed the offensive line.

In the 74th minute, Lin Quan suddenly stepped forward with the ball, shook the opponent's defender in the rib area, and sent the ball into the penalty area with a straight stop.

Morata ran coquettishly, received the ball and shot directly at the goal without adjustment, and sent the ball into the Italian goal again.

It's a pity that the goal was offside, the goal was blown invalid, and Morata Bai was happy.

However, the Italian side did not seem to realise that there was a hole in their defense in the middle, which gave Spain another chance to replicate such an attack.

In the 76th minute, almost in the same position as just now, Lin Quan once again sent the ball into the penalty area, Morata was not offside this time, but unfortunately Buffon predicted the opponent's intentions in advance and attacked early to confiscate the ball.

After that, the two teams attacked and defended each other, and the time of the game passed little by little, but the score on the field did not move at all.

Italy made a series of substitutions, replacing Eder, replacing Incine, replacing Desciglio, and replacing Shaarawy.

It's going to be a fight for your life!

Seeing that the other party was putting on a desperate posture, the Spanish side immediately changed its strategy.

Under Lin Quan's leadership, they began to slow down the pace of the game, and after getting the ball, they did not rush to attack, but more of their own half.

In the 82nd minute, Lin Quan slowly poured back and forth with Iniesta in the midfield, as if he wanted to consume all the remaining time in this way.

The two of them fell to their feet and retreated, and they were almost level with their own rearguard.

There were bursts of boos from the stands, and fans in Italy, very unhappy with this shameless approach by the Spaniards, were booing in protest.

The Italian players couldn't stand it anymore, it was difficult to grab the ball at the feet of these two people, but no matter how difficult it was, they had to grab it.

If left unattended, they have no doubt that the Spaniard will remain on his feet like this until the end of the game.

As a result, their formation pressed forward even more, and they pressed the Spanish players more frantically in the frontcourt.

Seeing this, Lin Quan stretched out his finger and pointed to the side when passing the ball to Iniesta.

Iniesta understood it, and when he passed the ball to Lin Quan again, his strength increased a few points.

At this time, the Italian players had already rushed to Lin Quan, and seeing that they dared to repeat their old tricks, they naturally went to rob Lin Quan unceremoniously.

However, what was unexpected was that after Lin Quan saw the football rolling towards him, he did not catch the ball, but made a false shot and gave the ball to David Silva on the side.

Oh no, it's a trick!

The Italian players felt bad when they saw Silva receiving the ball, and while retreating at full speed, they sent someone to block David Silva's passing lane.

David Silva didn't wait for the opponent to get closer, and passed the ball out as soon as possible.

And the target of this pass is not the center Morata who is at the front, but Lin Quan, who is inserted from the ribs.

After the opponent's formation was pressed, there were not many defenders left in the midfield.

And Lin Quan just used David Silva's cover, there were no defenders nearby, and he was temporarily unmarked.

Under the watchful eye of someone, Lin Quan is so terrifying, if no one guards him, he won't poke a hole in the sky!

Thinking of this terrible consequence, the nearby Italian players almost subconsciously rushed towards Lin Quan.

Lin Quan was still far from the goal at this time, and when the goalkeeper was well prepared, it was impossible to shoot directly here.

So he opted to pass, but instead of going to Alvaro Morata, who was caught in an offside trap, he moved wide to the flanks and found Spain's left winger Pedro.

Pedro, also known as the Sabres, is the fastest wide player in Spain's current squad!

When receiving Lin Quan's pass, the area where Pedro is located is almost completely devoid of defenders, which gives room to gallop across the country!

And what he has to do is to accelerate and accelerate!

Buffon saw Lin Quan move the ball to the other side and immediately realized the danger.

He immediately began to adjust his position and prepare for saves and attacks.

The Italian players worked hard to defend back, but the Sabres were too fast.

Before the vast majority of the Italians could get back into place, Pedro had already cut inside the box with the ball and was ready to shoot.

Buffon's concentration was high, and as he struck, he tried to spread his arms as best to block wider angles and reduce his opponent's chances.

Pedro was also cool-headed, knowing Buffon's ability to make a save, so he didn't hesitate to finish before the opponent could block him.

To Buffon's surprise, the ball was not headed for the far corner, but into the near corner.

This made him very difficult to save with his body on the left side of his body.

But Buffon calmly judged the opponent's shooting line, and after realizing that it was a rolling ball, he took advantage of the opportunity of the center of gravity to fall, quickly stretched out his right leg, and blocked the trajectory of the ball.

Almost as soon as Buffon stretched his leg, the ball hit his leg and, after changing direction slightly, slid past the door.

Gianluigi Buffon made a crucial save and didn't let his team fall into the abyss!

Spain once again missed a great opportunity to rewrite the score and seal the win completely.

But good fortune doesn't always favor someone!

A minute later, a Spanish corner kick was taken, and Lin Quan made a gesture to the back post, but passed the ball to the front post.

After seeing Lin Quan's gesture, Morata rushed back as soon as possible, taking away the sight of the Italian players, so that Ramos, who was ambushed in the penalty area, could rush out first and complete the header in front of the goal.

Buffon had already guessed that the opponent might take a penalty forward, and had already adjusted his position in advance.

But Ramos' header was so high that his head slammed into the ball almost like a hammer.

The ball flew towards the Italian goal at such a close distance that Buffon didn't have time to react before he heard the ball go into the net.

3:0！

Spain added another goal in the 84th minute to seal the win.

After Ramos scored this header, he excitedly took off his jersey, brandished his jersey and rushed to the corner kick area, and had a bear hug with Lin Quan who was standing in the corner kick area.

Lin Quan stretched out his hand to Morata to signal that the ball had his credit.

Had it not been for Alvaro Morata distracting the opposition's view and keeping the attention of the Italian players at the back post, it would have been almost impossible for Ramos to get such a header with Italy's height advantage.

Therefore, this time, Morata should be the first to score.

Alvaro Morata's expression was a little depressed, he worked hard in this game, but unfortunately he couldn't score, and the only goal was blown off as offside.

This has broken his two-game scoring streak, and he is likely to fall off the scorers' charts and be overtaken by others.

"Don't worry, there will be a chance to score in the future, you are indispensable!"

As if he had guessed what Morata was thinking, Lin Quan smiled and comforted him.

"Really? Brother Lin, you're not fooling me, are you? ”

"What are you fooling you for? Just say I didn't pass you the ball in this game, right? ”

Morata smiled, Lin Quan passed him a lot of times in this game, but it was a pity that he couldn't take advantage of the opportunity.

In this game, Morata completed a total of 5 shots, and the failure to score a goal was due to his own poor performance, mainly because the opponent's goalkeeper was too strong, and if the goalkeeper was replaced by someone else, Morata felt that he could score a goal somewhat.

Ramos' goal shattered the confidence of the Italians and made them realize that their team was on the wrong side.

In the end, in this battle for the last champion and runner-up, Spain defeated Italy 3:0 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals!

And Italy has once again fallen at the feet of Spain, and the phobia of the West continues!
