Chapter 632: The Fairy from Heaven breaks the deadlock, Spain 10 Croatia
Pique passed the ball very well, with just the right intensity and direction.
Although this person's character is somewhat controversial, his strength is basically not controversial.
As a typical ball-playing defender, Pique's passing ability is very outstanding, and his awareness of forward attack is also excellent. In the later stage, he even made repeated mistakes because of this, becoming a stepping stone for many forwards.
Lin Quan turned sideways and glanced at the road. He didn't need to slow down or turn around. He easily received Pique's pass.
At this time, most people on the Croatian side have not realized that the danger has arrived, because Lin Quan's receiving position is still in Spain's own half, quite far away from the Croatian goal.
But Modric and Rakitic, who respectively played for the La Liga duo, immediately smelled danger.
Croatia's young winger Ante Rebic did not have as good a sense of danger as the two big brothers. He stepped forward to press as usual, and followed the tactics arranged by the coach before the game, preparing to replace Mandzukic who had lost his position. .
"do not go!"
"return!"
Modric and Rakitic shouted almost at the same time. Rebic was stunned for a moment when he heard his teammate's words. Before he could react, he felt a red figure flash past him.
Modric can actually predict the opponent's next plan, but he can't help it, because he can't stop. If he suddenly stops during the retreat, his body will freeze for a moment. This is only a few tenths of a second. Time is enough for the opponent to get past him.
Modric gritted his teeth and slowly retreated, blocking his position to prevent the opponent from easily passing him.
Modric stared at the ball at Lin Quan's feet, always paying attention to the changes in the opponent's center of gravity.
It looked as if he was going to eat Modric alive.
In the several matches between Manchester City and Real Madrid, it was almost impossible for Real Madrid to restrict Lin Quan by one person. It had to be coordinated by multiple people.
To move from the middle, Modric is the hurdle he must overcome!
Lin Quan had no intention of slowing down at all. His speed was getting faster and faster, and the distance between him and Modric was getting closer and closer.
Once Lin Quan goes to the wing, he can cooperate with his teammates nearby to strangle Lin Quan in the narrow space on the wing.
Instead of going to the wing, he chose to blast from the center.
Modric's defensive experience is very good. He was stuck near the center and gave way to the wing, trying to drive Lin Quan to the wing.
Rakitic is not far away from him. As long as he slightly interferes with Lin Quan's rhythm, he can create a steal opportunity for Rakitic.
Lin Quan stared at Modric's footsteps. The moment the opponent's left foot landed, he quickly moved the ball to the right and rushed past Modric's left side with an acceleration.
Modric's idea is very good. If he meets an ordinary player, there is a high probability that he will be forced to the wing as he thinks.
At this time, you must not go up to grab the ball. The opponent's feet are too fast. If you go up to grab the ball, he is not sure that he can snatch the ball away before the opponent touches the ball.
So he could only turn around with all his strength, bump into Lin Quan with his body, and interfere with the opponent's dribbling rhythm as much as possible.
But the speed of his retreat was far less than the speed of Lin Quan's forward running. The distance between the two quickly shortened. Soon, the distance between the two was less than two meters.
When Modric saw the opponent's attitude, he was a little worried. Although he has rich defensive experience, he has encountered various opponents in the league, Champions League and national team games, and many of them are good at breakthroughs and Extraordinary player.
Modric had a bad thought in his heart and couldn't care about anything else at this time. He immediately moved forward, preparing to block his position and cooperate with Rakitic and right back Vrsaljko to strangle Lin Quan.
Once the attack fails, the body cannot quickly adjust its center of gravity and complete the turn due to inertia. Once the opponent breaks through, it will be impossible for him to catch up with the opponent from behind.
But Lin Quan is not an ordinary player. While dribbling the ball forward, he has already observed the movements of the opponent's players in various positions, and calculated his own breakthrough route based on the opponent's movements.
But now, Rakitic is on his way to reinforce. Perisic is attracted by David Silva who is advancing forward. The two central defenders in front of the penalty area are staring at Diego Costa, and his teammates have no time to cooperate. He, he must rely on his own strength to stop Lin Quan.
But no one has ever put as much defensive pressure on him as Lin Quan.
Modric's idea was good, but he underestimated Lin Quan's physical confrontation ability.
Lin Quan's weight is a full 10 kilograms heavier than Modric.
Modric bumped into him, and it felt like he hit a wall. The opponent didn't move at all, but he was knocked to the ground.
The fans at the scene were in an uproar and were very surprised by this scene on the court.
Because in their field of vision, Modric took the initiative to hit the car, but they did not expect such a result. He was bounced back like a person who hit a car.
After passing Modric, seeing Rakitic rushing over, Lin Quan did not continue to dribble, but passed the ball to David Silva on the wing.
The latter understood the situation and immediately passed the ball diagonally forward, completing the wall-hitting coordination with Lin Quan.
When Modric fell to the ground and lost his position, Rakitic was the only one defending nearby. Facing the opponent's one-two, he had no choice. The ball was not his responsibility. Strictly speaking, Perisic did not. Keep an eye on David Silva and give him the opportunity to pass the ball.
Lin Quan, who regained the ball at the edge of the penalty area, had only the Croatian defense line in front of him.
The Croatian fans in the stands felt like they were suffocating, their hearts were beating so wildly that they seemed like they were going to jump out of their mouths.
Keep it, you must keep it!
The fans clenched their fists and prayed secretly.
At this moment, we can only place all our hopes on our own defenders.
Diego Costa is indeed a troublemaker in the penalty area. Seeing Lin Quan successfully break in, he immediately pressed the opponent's back line and walked into the penalty area.
Because they are very close to the ball holder, Croatia's two central defenders do not dare to commit offside. If things go wrong, Diego Costa can easily get a chance to score a single ball in the penalty area.
But it is not an option to keep retreating under the pressure of Diego Costa, because that will give Lin Quan a chance to shoot from a long distance.
So Luo Renfu took the initiative to intercept Lin Quan.
The full-backs on both sides are also moving into the penalty area at this time and can fill his position, so there is no need to worry too much about the problems behind him for the time being.
Facing Lin Quan one-on-one, Luo Renfu was under great psychological pressure.
He learned the lesson that Modric had suffered before, and kept a safe enough distance from Lin Quan, not giving the other party a chance to get past him.
If he wanted to eat himself alive, he would have to speed up further.
But the faster the speed, the greater the inertia. Even if he passes him by then, the shooting angle after breaking into the penalty area will probably be very small. As long as the goalkeeper's position is reasonable, it will be easy to save his shot.
Lorenv's choice is reasonable. The distance between the two is not far because he has a height advantage. If Lin Quan chooses to shoot directly, he can make a blocking action in time to interfere with the opponent. Lin Quan obviously understood this very well, so he deliberately moved the ball to the right and made a move to speed up the pass.
Lorenv's heart trembled: It's coming!
He glanced slightly at his left knee, and his right leg had begun to gather strength, ready to turn around and chase after him.
If the opponent really wants to eat him alive, he will catch up with the opponent as soon as possible. Even if he cannot keep up with the opponent, he will at least put enough pressure on the opponent from behind.
But to his surprise, Lin Quan did not choose to break through. Instead, after moving the ball to the right, he directly made an arc with the outside instep of his right foot and hoisted the ball toward the far goal.
This choice not only exceeded Lorenv's expectations, but even the Croatian team's goalkeeper Subasic was also deceived.
Seeing Lin Quan preparing to accelerate, Subasic quickly moved a few steps to the left side of the goal, preparing to block the opponent's shot from the near corner.
But after all calculations, he didn't expect that the opponent was just a feint shot. He had such a good one-on-one opportunity, but he actually shot it directly!
Subasic was shocked and flew to the rescue in panic.
But his position was a bit too far. By the time he pounced on the ball, the ball had already flown into the goal from the absolute blind spot between the post and the crossbar.
The shooting angle of this ball is too tricky. Even if Subasic's position is correct, he will definitely not be able to save it.
There was a burst of cheers and exclamations at the scene, and the Spanish fans celebrated crazily when Lin Quan scored.
The neutral fans and Croatian fans were stunned by Lin Quan's long-range shot, which was like a fairy from heaven, and they subconsciously let out a burst of exclamations.
"Look at this ball, Lin Quan passed Modric."
"Two-for-one, another...direct long-range shot!"
"The ball is in!"
"Going in beautifully!"
"In the 22nd minute of the first half, Lin Quan scored the first goal of the game. The score on the field was rewritten to 1:0, and the Spanish team temporarily took the lead!"
"Lin Quan handled the ball so beautifully and calmly. He predicted the opponent's prediction. When everyone thought he was going to go all the way to the end, he suddenly made a cold arrow and caught the opponent off guard."
"Haha, it seems that Lin Quan is still a person who is well versed in Sun Tzu's art of war. This move is really good for attacking in the east and west."
In the CCTV commentary box, both commentators were full of praise for the ball.
Not only was Lin Quan's last shot very beautiful, but throughout the entire attack, every choice he made was very reasonable and without any flaws.
In fact, Croatia didn't show any flaws. It was just that the forward was temporarily out of position because of too deep pursuit. The slightest opportunity was exposed and he seized it.
I have to say that Lin Quan's ability to seize opportunities is really strong!
"The outside world has always been curious about how far Lin Quan will grow in the future. After all, at the age of 18, he is already a world champion. His skills in all aspects have reached their peak, and there is not much room for breakthrough.
But in the past few years, with the accumulation of game experience, Lin Quan's ability to read the game and catch opportunities for opponents' mistakes has become stronger and stronger.
In the past, he liked to rely on his super personal strength to defeat opponents alone, but now he relies not only on skills but also brains to play football.
He is like a precisely calculated machine. Every action and every choice he makes on the field is very reasonable and pleasing to the eye. It seems that football should be played like this.
Considering that he is only 22 years old now and has just begun to enter the golden period of his career, it is simply unimaginable and exciting to see how high he can grow in the future. "
"For fans in this era, it is definitely a treat to watch such talented players playing on the field!"
"Although we have not caught up with the era of football kings such as Pele and Maradona, we are very lucky to have Lin Quan, and his future will surely rival or even surpass the football kings!"
……
As expected of a CCTV commentator, this kind of copywriting that was similar to World Football came out casually, leaving fans watching the live TV broadcast stunned.
"Why did you stop? If you can speak, speak more!"
"Praise more and don't stop, everyone likes to hear it!"
"When I came here, I heard someone talking about King Lin. I didn't plan to watch the game, but now I have to watch it!"
In the past, fans were indifferent or even disgusted with commentators' praise of one side in the game. Unless they were fans of one side, everyone did not like to see commentators favoring one side.
But today is different. Everyone came to watch the game for Lin Quan. Since they came for Lin Quan, of course they were happy when the commentator praised Lin Quan like this.
There is no difference between Spain and Croatia for fans, but there are players they like in the Spanish team, so many people's stance naturally goes to Spain.
Of course, there are many fans who like Croatia. After all, Modric, Rakitic and others also have a great influence in football. It is normal for fans to like and support them.
……
Lin Quan's goal completely broke the balance of the game, and Spain's head coach Del Bosque could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He had been unable to score a goal before, and he couldn't help but become anxious. Now that he was fine, his heart returned to his stomach for the time being.
Bosque is comfortable, but the Croatian team's head coach is not.
The Croatian team's expectation is to hold on to the first half and not concede the ball easily.
But now the game is less than 30 minutes, and they have conceded the goal. There is still half the first half. Judging from the offensive power shown by the Spanish team before, they are likely to score another goal.
If the Croatian team conceded two goals in the first half, even if they delay the opponent's physical fitness in the second half, they may not be able to catch up.
The intensity of the competition in the World Cup is very high. When players from both sides are working hard, it is not easy to score goals.
Because of this, it is very unbelievable to have a tragedy in the World Cup.
This is why it caused such a big shock in the football world when the German team defeated Brazil 7:1 four years ago.
Because this score is too exaggerated, it's like the Brazilian team is playing match-fixing. (End of chapter)
