Chapitre 88: Chapter 290 Spain’s odds of winning the championship have soared
The team was leading by a big score, and Del Bosque was already humming a ditty leisurely.
He glanced at the bench, called Xavi Alonso up and asked him to warm up.
In the 65th minute, Spain made substitutions.
Xavi Alonso comes on to replace Xavi.
This is a matchup substitution. In the past, the two Harveys could coexist on the court.
But now, as the two of them get older, Bosque consciously staggers their use to avoid two veterans appearing on the field at the same time. As a result, they are defeated by the opponent because of their age.
Of course, Xavi Alonso and Xavi have different styles. Compared to Xavi, Alonso is more defensive.
Therefore, this substitution is a signal that Spain is going to start holding back!
Seeing Spain's substitution, Van Gaal hesitated, and finally decided to replace De Guzman with Wijnaldum, who was faster and had better dribbling ability.
Although the score of 4:1 seems to be of no rescue value, at this time, we can only treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Even if they can't equalize and reverse in the end, it would be good to score another goal and make their loss more honorable.
After all, the Dutch team is also a top team. If the loss is too ugly, he will be scolded by Dutch fans after he returns.
Before Van Gaal made the substitution, most people on the Dutch team were ready to give up.
But there is one exception, and that is Peter Pan Robben!
Wijnaldum's appearance has somewhat injected some vitality into the Dutch team's frontcourt.
With his excellent speed and dribbling skills, he quickly developed a chemical reaction with Robben after coming on the scene.
In the 67th minute, Wijnaldum sent a wonderful pass. Robben cut in from the wing and completed a long shot. Unfortunately, the ball failed to be suppressed and went over the crossbar.
In the 72nd minute, Wijnaldum made a breakthrough and sent a through ball.
Robben received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area, dunked past Pique with his right foot in a small space, and then shot with his left foot before Ramos blocked it.
It only took less than two seconds for Robben to stop the ball, adjust, pass and shoot.
The quality of the ball was extremely high. The ball passed through Cassie's fingers, but was blocked by the crossbar with a bang.
Robben stood there blankly, shaking his head regretfully, deeply feeling the unfairness of his fate.
He had already maximized his personal abilities, but he was so unlucky that he could only sigh.
The combination of Wijnaldum and Robben made Spain aware of their threat and began to invest more energy in limiting them.
After Wijnaldum was targeted, it was difficult to pass the same pass as before.
After Robben was targeted, he failed to play such a threatening attack, and the Dutch team's counterattack completely lost its threat.
In the 75th minute, Bosque made another substitution adjustment.
He replaced Iniesta and replaced him with Pedro.
Pedro sat on the bench for more than an hour and saw his teammates beating the Dutch team 4 goals. His blood boiled with excitement.
At this time, it was finally his turn to play. He, who had already been depressed for a long time, performed very positively after coming on the field.
He ran around tirelessly in the frontcourt, pressing the opponent's ball-carrying players everywhere like a mad dog. Whether on the offensive or defensive end, you can see him running around without any effort.
Seeing Pedro being so active, Lin Quan consciously began to move towards him.
In the 80th minute, Spain's offense hit the penalty area. Facing a pass from his teammate, Lin Quan made a feint and gave the ball to Pedro. Pedro led the ball into the penalty area and fired a shot from the right rib of the penalty area. Hit the crossbar.
The Sabers were dumbfounded when the ball was denied by the crossbar.
Lin Quan couldn't help but shook his head. This luck felt as good as Diego Costa's.
When Robben's shot hit the crossbar just now, the Dutch fans sighed. Now it is the Spanish fans' turn to hold their heads and sigh!
Damn the crossbar, it seems that it has rejected Spain's shot twice!
In the 83rd minute, Spain got a free kick opportunity on the left.
Lin Quan hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Ramos clashed with the opponent's defender Indy while fighting for a header. The two were very angry and started pushing and pushing each other.
The referee scored fifty rebounds each and showed a yellow card to both men.
Seeing this yellow card, Del Bosque couldn't help but frown.
Ramos is very capable, but he has this temper. It would be better if he could change it.
However, is Ramos, who has a bad temper, still a master of water?
As the game gradually came to an end, the Spanish players became more and more relaxed.
The Dutch players, unable to accept a disastrous defeat, gradually lost control of their emotions.
In the 86th minute, Van Persie kicked Pedro down from behind and received a yellow card.
This is the fifth yellow card for the Dutch team in this game.
Busquets saw the opponent arguing around the referee about the yellow card, so he took a quick free kick without any ethics. The Dutch team's energy was focused on the foul just now, and they had almost no defense against Spain's fast break.
Lin Quan scored easily after receiving the ball, but the linesman raised the flag to indicate offside.
Lin Quan himself didn't say much, but the fans at the scene were unhappy.
If this goal counts as a goal, then Lin Quan will have completed a hat trick.
The slow-motion replay on the big screen showed that the ball was just a hair away. When David Silva passed the ball, Lin Quan was only a little ahead.
I have to say that the linesman's sharp eyes are a bit powerful.
However, when luck comes, nothing can stop it.
In the 88th minute, Spain's high press caused the Dutch team to make a mistake.
Goalkeeper Cillessen made a mistake in stopping the ball when receiving a pass from his teammate, and accidentally stopped the ball a little further.
Lin Quan was nearby and rushed over quickly after seeing the opponent's mistake.
Cillessen hurriedly tried to destroy the ball, but was half a beat too late. Lin Quan took the lead and passed the goalkeeper and then pushed the ball into the empty goal!
The score was rewritten to 5:1, and Lin Quan scored a hat trick in his first World Cup game!
For a time, the fans watching the game on site and online were excited.
"Lin Huang is so awesome. Is this the first hat trick in this World Cup?"
"Yes, it is also the only hat trick in this World Cup so far!"
"Lin Huang is only a little over 18 years old, right? Is this the youngest hat trick in the history of the World Cup?"
"It seems not. The fastest hat-trick was created by Pele in Brazil's victory over France in the 1958 semi-finals.
Pele was only 17 years and 244 days old at the time. He is currently the only person under the age of 18 to have scored a hat-trick. "
"Holy crap, is Bailey so awesome? I thought he was just a crow-mouthed guy!"
"After all, he is the first football champion. How can he be crowned champion without some strength? Speaking of which, why didn't I hear Pele's prediction for this World Cup?"
"Haha, maybe he was given a gag order by the Brazilian Football Association, right? After all, last year he predicted that Brazil would win the Confederations Cup, but Brazil was swept by Spain. In January this year, he predicted that Brazil would win the World Cup, which scared Brazilian fans. broken!"
"With the prestige of King Pele, a gag order should not be necessary. There is a high probability that the Brazilian Football Association will come to him and beg him to accept his magical powers and stop making blind predictions. Even if he wants to poison other teams, please don't come." Hoho is on the Brazilian team!"
On the court, after Lin Quan completed his hat trick, he celebrated with a front flip in excitement.
Del Bosque on the sidelines was shocked. Wasn't this guy not allowed to do such a dangerous celebration?
German star Miroslav Klose, who was watching the game with his teammates, couldn't help but smile after seeing this scene.
When he was in Serie A, he heard that a promising newcomer had appeared in Werder Bremen, and like him, he also loved celebrations such as front flips.
At that time, he thought the other party was paying tribute to him. After all, he had also played for the Parrot Legion for three years, so God K saw his own shadow in Lin Quan.
I just didn't expect that in just two years, that young boy would have grown to such a height, which made Klose feel a little emotional.
"The front flip celebration is very dangerous. If you have the opportunity, you have to remind him and use it as little as possible in the future!"
Del Bosque regretted a little, wishing he had known that the three substitutions would not be needed so soon.
If there was still room for substitutions, he would definitely replace Lin Quan and let him accept the cheers of the fans alone.
This is the best compliment for his outstanding performance in this game!
Coach Tony on the side came over and asked Bosque:
"Vincent, do you still feel that you are too doting on Lin?"
Bosque was speechless for a moment and was somewhat speechless.
Lin Quan's goal completely destroyed the morale of the Dutch team. Spain's fifth goal was not due to how well they played, but purely due to the Dutch team's own mistakes.
Even the goalkeeper made such a low-level mistake, what can they expect from their other players?
In the last few minutes of the game, the Dutch players on the field were playing in a hazy state and just wanted to end this tormenting game as soon as possible.
Spain is still trying to continue attacking. Although Lin Quan is no longer pursuing goals, this does not prevent him from creating opportunities for his teammates.
In the 91st minute, Spain got a good free kick opportunity.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been Harvey or Lin Quan who took the penalty. Harvey was not present at this time. Lin Quan saw that Ramos was eager to try and took the initiative to give up the opportunity.
Ramos's footwork was a bit outrageous. This 25-meter free kick was missed by him and failed to pose a threat to the goal.
In the 3rd minute of stoppage time, Torres fell in the penalty area. Perhaps because the Dutch team lost so miserably, the referee did not call a penalty kick this time.
In the end, Spain beat the Netherlands 5:1 and got a good start in their group stage.
After the game, the news of Spain's 5:1 bloodbath against the Netherlands immediately became the headlines of major sports newspapers around the world.
People were shocked by Spain's powerful strength, but also regretted the Oranje's demise at the speed of light.
Four years ago, the Dutch team was still inextricable from Spain, but now, they and the Spanish team do not seem to be on the same level, and they are beaten by the opponent without the ability to fight back.
This shocking score is a true portrayal of the strength of the two teams!
Although many experts and institutions predicted that Spain would win before the game, few could have imagined that they would win in this way.
Therefore, after this game, betting companies increased Spain's winning odds, and the number suddenly soared to 2.2.
In other words, after only one round of the group stage, the outside world believes that Spain's probability of winning is more than 45%!
How crazy this is!
After winning the game, Del Bosque was in a good mood.
He didn't wait for Van Gaal to come over, and took the initiative to step forward and hug him warmly.
Van Gaal's face looked very ugly. He didn't want to hug this bad old man, but the other party was too 'enthusiastic' and forced him to hug him, which made him extremely embarrassed.
"Haha, old man, how about it? Are you convinced that you lost?"
"Hmph, you are just lucky. I have found a way to restrain you. See you in the finals!"
Van Gaal forcibly redeemed himself, shook off Del Bosque's embrace, and left proudly.
Bosque looked at the Dutchman's stubborn back and couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Why does this sound so familiar?
Oh, it turns out he said the same thing before the game!
That's okay!
After defeating the Netherlands, the strongest opponent, Spain's qualifying situation is very good.
Five days later, Spain will travel to the Maracana Stadium to face Chile, its second opponent in the group stage.
The Chilean team is weaker than the Netherlands. If it can win this game, the Spanish team will advance to the group stage.
In view of this, Del Bosque gave the players two days off and allowed them to reunite with their families.
This wise decision was enthusiastically supported by the players, and he announced a holiday, and the players immediately dispersed.
Most of the players went to find their wives, but Lin Quan went to Guardiola's hotel and discussed tactics with him all night long.
After the match between Spain and the Netherlands, in another match in Group B, Chile defeated Australia 3:1.
This score was not unexpected. The Chilean team deserves the title of a strong South American team.
After Group B, competitions in other groups also started one after another.
In Group C, Cote d'Ivoire reversed Japan 2:1, and Colombia defeated Greece 3:0.
The first upset of this World Cup occurred in Group D: the powerful Uruguay lost 1:3 to Costa Rica.
Uruguay, which has stars such as Suarez, Cavani and Forlan, was considered by the outside world to have the strength of the top eight or even the top four before the game, but it overturned in the first game.
This proves that winning is not guaranteed by being strong on paper, and there cannot be any negligence on the World Cup stage.
There were no upsets in the remaining games. Among the favorites, the stronger Italy defeated England 2:1.
The French team defeated Honduras 3:0, Argentina defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2:1, and Messi scored a goal.
The German team beat Portugal 4:1. Cristiano Ronaldo tried his best and finally scored a goal.
It is worth mentioning that in Belgium's 2:1 victory over Algeria, De Bruyne came on as a substitute in the 75th minute and scored a goal to help the team beat the opponent.
After the first round of the group stage, Europe has a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses, which is neither good nor bad.
South America has a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, and its winning rate is higher than that of European teams.
However, the North American team has the highest winning rate. They achieved an impressive record of 3 wins and 1 loss, which completely surprised everyone.
The Asian side has 2 draws and 2 losses without winning a single victory. The title of the weakest division is firmly established.
The African side has 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, which is not much better.
The schedule of the competition is very tight. After the first round of Group H, the second round of Group A and Group B is about to start!
In this round of competition, Brazil and Spain, who both have three points, are facing strong opponents. Whether they can qualify early depends on their respective performances in this game.
