Chapter 271: Ronaldo's hat trick, Spain defeats Portugal
Given that the two teams played evenly in the first half, fans felt that there would be a second half of the battle, and a close game awaited them.
But things seemed to be a little different from what they had imagined, and as soon as the second half began, Spain picked up the pace of the game and launched a fierce attack on the Portuguese goal.
Lin Quan, who was too team in the first half, significantly increased the number of individual breakthroughs in the second half.
Portugal was a little caught off guard by the sudden change in the opponent's style of play, especially since they did not expect that the opponent's attack would focus on the middle.
In the 51st minute of the second half, Lin Quan and Iniesta collided with the wall in the middle, hit the front of the penalty area, shook off Moutinho, who defended him, and was about to shoot with his feet.
Unfortunately, Moutinho's feet slipped and he couldn't stop the car, and his left foot caught Lin Quan's supporting leg, tripping him to the ground, and Spain won a well-placed free-kick up front.
Lin Quan got up from the ground and stood in front of the ball, ready to take the free kick himself.
This ball is very close to the penalty area line, and it is not good to attack the goal directly when it is blocked by a human wall, because there is a high probability that it will be blocked by a human wall.
So when the Portuguese players are defending, they spend a lot of energy on defending against these Spanish players in the penalty area.
Lin Quan seemed to be planning the same way, and before the penalty kick, he specially discussed with Busquets, who listened to his words and nodded repeatedly, and quickly ran to the Portuguese penalty area, staying on the right side of the penalty area and ambushing him.
Busquets' move caused alarm among the Portuguese players, who had to send someone to keep an eye on him.
But there are still a lot of high points in the Spanish team, Ramos, Pique, Diego Costa and others can compete in the penalty area, and they also need to arrange special personnel to mark.
There are more people to watch, and it is inevitable that chaos will start in the penalty area.
Lin Quan made a tactical gesture while retreating, and several players saw this and immediately drilled around in the Portuguese penalty area.
Taking advantage of the fact that the attention of the opposing defenders was distracted by these running Spanish players, Lin Quan quickly sent the ball out.
Looking at his discussions with Sergio Busquets and the tactical gestures that followed, many people thought that Spain would play a tactical match.
But when the football took off from the lawn, everyone was dumbfounded!
The ball was actually headed straight for the goal!
The human wall of the Portuguese team jumped for the first time, and Ronaldo, who was in the outermost area, even felt a gust of wind grazing his scalp and flew over.
He was still in the air and did not land, but he suddenly turned his head and looked at the football that passed by him.
In Ronaldo's sight, the football suddenly fell in the air with a strange flight trajectory, like an elevator, and crashed into the goal!
After the ball flew into the net, the goalkeeper's hand was too late to make a save, just a few tenths of a second, and if it had been faster, the ball would have been saved.
Rumble!
The fans in the stands behind the goal were all boiling over when they saw the football go into the net.
They clenched their fists and raised their arms and shouted, all excited.
The third goal!
Ahead again!
And it was Lin Quan who scored the goal this time!
After scoring the goal, Lin Quan put his hand next to his ear and made a listening motion.
This is asking for applause from the fans!
Spanish fans and a large number of neutral fans were already shouting excitedly, but after seeing Lin Quan's action, they shouted harder one by one.
Although this game is very exciting, it makes the fans addicted to watching.
But before Lin Quan scored, they always felt that something was missing in this game.
Now that Lin Quan's goal is finally waiting, the fans are satisfied at this time.
This match is not only a contest between Portugal and Spain, but also a contest between two supergiants in football, Ronaldo and Lin Quan.
Ronaldo has already scored two goals in the first half, as one of the protagonists, how can Lin Quan be absent?
Seeing Lin Quan's goal, the other protagonist of this game was helpless, looking at Lin Quan's back and couldn't help but shake his head.
But this emotion of his mind was quickly put to the back of his mind, and Ronaldo glanced up at the time.
There's still a lot of time to play, and they still have a chance!
However, Spain were more dangerous in the second half than in the first.
Just two minutes after Lin Quan scored, in the 55th minute, Lin Quan suddenly hit the left side.
Seeing that he was about to cut inside into the penalty area, the Portuguese team, like a big enemy, came to cover him and tried to cut off the ball at his feet.
In the narrow space of the penalty area, in the blocking and scrambling of countless feet, Lin Quan's dribbling seemed to be a little stumbling, but the ball was always at his feet and he did not lose it.
But there were so many defenders in front of him that he had no angle to shoot.
So Lin Quan rubbed it up and picked up a pass to Isco in the middle of the penalty area.
Isco was a little unprepared, but he didn't expect Lin Quanneng to pass the ball over in this situation.
This caused him to miss the opportunity to shoot straight at goal, and if he waited for him to adjust before shooting, I am afraid that the defender would have been in position.
So Isco simply passed the ball out again, and in an almost clearance way, passed the ball to the edge of the box.
There was no one in this place, but a white figure suddenly appeared, and shot directly at the ball without stopping the ball, and hit a high-quality slash to the ground.
The ball got past the Portuguese goalkeeper and crashed into the net.
Spain's right wing-back Nacho scored Spain's fourth goal in the 55th minute of the second half to make the score 4:2.
After conceding two goals in a row in a very short period of time, the Portuguese players were buzzing in their brains and a little stunned.
Not to mention them, even the Spanish fans in the stands were a little dizzy.
Not long ago, the score was still 2:2, but it's only been a few minutes, and it's become 4:2!
Happiness came so suddenly that they all wondered if it wasn't a dream.
Some people secretly reached out and pinched their thighs, and after confirming that it was not a dream, they breathed a great sigh of relief.
"Sure enough, you can't easily make a conclusion about the strength of a team because of a few inconsequential warm-up games, I think the Spanish team played very well in this game, not at all like everyone sang before the game!"
"That's right, although this Spanish team doesn't feel as starry as it did four years ago, it's playing more holly and as a team!"
"Indeed, the Spanish team four years ago had a lot of thighs in the team, and this year's Spanish team has only one thigh in the team, and everyone knows who to play around!"
"Here I have to praise Lin Huang by name, the first time to provoke the national team, his performance today is impeccable, even a little too team!"
"That's right, I think so too, in the first half, if Lin Huang was not so team-oriented and played a little selfishly, I feel that the Spanish team would have taken the lead a long time ago!"
"Emperor Lin, he's really, I'm crying to death!"
"Don't say anything, let's open the market directly, after watching this game, you are now more optimistic about the Spanish team or the French team!"
"Lin Huang's performance is so good, of course I am more optimistic - the French team!"
"Poof......
"Brother, you are really sassy, you almost flashed my waist!"
"Don't rush to conclusions, the French team hasn't played yet, at least wait until the French team finishes playing, right?"
……
On the pitch, Nacho's goal gave Spain a huge advantage.
In the next few minutes, they played the passing control they were good at, played very patiently, and firmly controlled the initiative in their own hands.
Portugal tried to launch a counterattack, like a punch to cotton, and they were all defused.
In the 70th minute, seeing that the situation was decided, Bosque began to make substitution adjustments.
He first replaced veteran Andres Iniesta with Thiago, who plays for Bayern.
Iniesta is thirty-four years old and not as fit as he used to be, so given that there are still many games to play, it was better to replace him early and let him rest well.
It's important both for Iniesta himself and for the Spanish team.
After the substitution, Bosque watched for a while, saw that there were no problems, and after seven minutes replaced Diego Costa with Asensio.
Costa is injured and his age is not too young, considering that the team will need him to charge in the next games, it is only right to replace him.
The last substitution Bosque has been pinching and is not willing to use it.
This substitution was for Lin Quan, but Bosque was worried that after replacing Lin Quan, the situation on the field would get out of control.
After losing the absolute core, he was worried that these players on the field did not know how to play, so he did not make a move.
Until the game entered the 86th minute, seeing that there were only a few minutes left in the game, the two-goal lead should have won three points.
Bosque finally used up his last substitution, and he replaced Lin Quan with Vazquez.
Although Lin Quan only scored one goal in this game, Spain's four goals were all related to him.
Bosque chose to replace him before the end of the game so that he could be cheered on by the crowd alone, as a reward for the outstanding performance.
Lin Quan obviously understood the manager's intentions, and after seeing the substitution card raised by the fourth official, he smiled and high-fived several teammates around him, trotted all the way to the sidelines, and after high-fived Vazquez, who was about to come on as a substitute, he stood outside the sideline and applauded the fans in the stands.
From the time he started to leave the field to the time he stood on the sidelines, the whole stadium reverberated with warm applause.
The fans' eyes are bright, and they can still tell whether a player is performing well or not.
And such a warm applause obviously proves the fans' affirmation of Lin Quan.
"Tsk, you kid, this applause is louder than the few of us combined!"
"That's it, the limelight has left you alone!"
On the bench, Iniesta, Diego Costa and others, who had been replaced before, came over and joked.
Among the two, Iniesta is not at all jealous that Lin can win such a warm welcome and love from the fans.
The way to get the applause of the fans is very simple, just use your strength and performance to conquer them.
Compared to Iniesta, Diego Costa is really a little jealous.
He always felt that because he was not a native of Spain, he was treated differently by Spanish fans, otherwise, why did he score 2 goals, applause and cheers were not even half of Lin Quan's!
This is actually his own thinking, and the Spanish fans are naturally very supportive of him, but the audience at the scene is a large number of neutral fans from Ukraine and around the world.
Most of these fans are coming for Lin Quan and Ronaldo, Diego Costa is very strong, but he can't reach the level of supergiant, so naturally he can't get the applause of these fans.
Bosque thought he was careful enough, but shortly after Lin Quan went off the field, Ronaldo scored another goal in the 88th minute of the game, increasing his goal tally to 3 goals and making the score 4:3.
Spain's lead has narrowed to one goal again!
"Damn, Ronaldo's game is on!"
"It's too fierce, a hat-trick in the World Cup!"
"There is still time, there is still a chance, Portugal may not really lose!"
"Hehe, the head coach of Spain is afraid that he regrets it now, if he had known that Ronaldo could still score at this time, he would definitely not dare to replace Lin Huang!"
"Don't talk about it, the Spanish fans are already sweating!"
At this moment, countless Spanish fans around the world began to drum in their hearts when they saw the player wearing the Portuguese No. 7 jersey in the TV broadcast camera.
Is this Nima the form that a 33-year-old player should have?
At this age, you can still complete a hat-trick in the World Cup!?
Someone went to check it out and found that just now, Ronaldo's goal broke the World Cup record, becoming the oldest hat-trick owner in the World Cup at the age of 33 years and 130 days!
is so old and in such good condition, it seems that Ronaldo still has a lot of oil in his tank.
There are rumours that Cristiano Ronaldo has fallen out with Real Madrid and is likely to leave the Bernabeu this summer.
Fans who were not very optimistic about Ronaldo's transfer prospects because of his age also had to re-evaluate after watching this game.
At least with Ronaldo's performance in this World Cup, his ability has not declined and remains at the peak.
In this way, buying him is not just for his commercial value, his joining can really bring immediate improvement to the team.
Thinking of this, the team that is interested in Ronaldo, a supergiant, has begun to take action.
For a while, Ronaldo's agent Mendes's mobile phone was about to be blown up.
Although Ronaldo's performance is very good, the overall strength of this Portugal team is indeed not very strong.
In stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game after Quaresma missed a great chance.
After a hard-fought battle, Spain finally defeated Portugal with a score of 4:3.
Although his team lost the game, Ronaldo did not receive any criticism, but won praise from various media and fans.
Even the coach of the Spanish team, Bosque, publicly praised Ronaldo at the post-match press conference.
"Cristiano is a very good player and he showed the world what he is capable of with this game!" (End of chapter)
