Capítulo 86: Chapter 288 Lin Quan’s first World Cup goal, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi’s sense of crisis!
Spain's formation today is 433, while the Netherlands' formation is 532.
Just by seeing the opponent arrange five players on the back line, you can tell that they are preparing for a defensive counterattack.
Although Van Gaal was extremely crazy at the pre-match press conference, on the field, he still honestly placed himself in the position of the underdog.
However, this formation is very threatening when counterattacking.
Their two full-backs can drop back and participate in the attack without any worries, providing assists to the strikers or midfielders.
Therefore, in this game, Spain's defensive pressure on the wing will be great.
The opponent may frequently launch attacks from the area from both sides to the center.
Bosque obviously knew this very well, so after the start, Spain played very steadily.
They took advantage of their strong midfield strength to fight the Dutch team in the midfield area.
Among the three midfielders of the Dutch team, Sneijder is responsible for attacking, and De Jong is responsible for sweeping and intercepting. De Guzman is good at both offense and defense, and has good ball protection ability.
Although Spain's formation was 433, it immediately changed to 451 at the beginning of the game, and the number of midfielders expanded to 5.
With their numerical advantage, Spain quickly gained the upper hand in the midfield.
However, both De Jong and De Guzman played very well in this game. Facing the midfield stranglehold initiated by Spain, they used their active running and tenacious style to try hard to avoid losing control of the team's midfield.
Robben and Van Persie were isolated in the frontcourt and found it difficult to get the ball.
So they retreated decisively and joined the midfield press.
At the same time, the two full-backs of the Dutch team also stepped forward to participate in the defense, and the Dutch's iconic full-attack and full-defense tactics appeared.
Spain quickly took the initiative on the field after the opening and gradually gained some shooting opportunities.
In the 2nd minute, Lin Quan made a direct pass to find Costa. This ball was given a little advance, so that Diego Costa could catch the ball and shoot after running.
However, the two did not form a tacit understanding. Costa caught the ball on the spot and lost the chance to shoot. The ball was intercepted by the Dutch team.
In the 6th minute, Lin Quan was pulled down by De Guzman when he broke through from the left side of the frontcourt, and Spain got a free kick opportunity.
Lin Quan chose to take the penalty himself and directly attack the goal.
The ball was of high quality, but the Dutch goalkeeper Cillessen was focused and worked hard to save the ball.
The situation of the game was not one-sided. While Spain was attacking, the Dutch team was also looking for opportunities to launch a counterattack.
In the 8th minute, the Netherlands successfully counterattacked in the frontcourt. Robben cut in from the wing and passed directly to Sneijder.
Sneijder got a chance after getting rid of the defender, but his shot in front of the goal was calmly saved by Casillas.
The Dutch team missed its best chance to score since the start!
This ball shocked the Spanish fans in the stands. The Dutch team's counterattack was like a sharp dagger, hitting the vital point quickly, accurately and hard, making them tremble with fear.
In the 10th minute, Spain responded in kind.
After Lin Quan passed two people on the wing, his long shot from the top of the arc hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line.
This ball also hit the fans of the Dutch team and they were terrified. Many people were so scared that they stopped breathing when they saw the ball flying towards the goal.
It wasn't until they saw the football bounce out that they regained consciousness, breathing heavily.
The pace of this game is very fast, and the offensive power of both teams is very good. If the football is not careful, it can quickly hit the opponent's penalty area in the midfield and form a threatening shot.
The two wingers of the two teams, Robben and Lin Quan, are also extraordinary individuals with extremely strong personal abilities.
The full-backs of both teams tried hard to freeze them, but it was difficult to succeed.
Especially the Dutch left back Janmaat. In less than fifteen minutes, he had already been passed by Lin Quan five times, and he was almost numb.
The fans who came to the stadium to watch the game were hooked.
It is worthy of being the championship and runner-up battle of the last World Cup. The intensity of this game is much better than the opening game.
The strength is balanced, and the game between you and me is exciting enough!
That kind of one-sided game is far less enjoyable to watch than this kind of game.
However, the game lasted for more than ten minutes without scoring a goal, which made the fans feel that there was a slight flaw in the ointment.
As if in response to their calls, Spain's attack came back again in the 15th minute!
Lin Quan received Xavi's pass in the midfield. He seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and avoided De Jong's attack.
Diego Costa learned smartly this time and started running early when he saw Lin Quan getting the ball.
After playing for more than ten minutes, he realized that his teammates were even better than he thought.
Don't worry about how they get the ball to their feet, just run. It's your own problem if you can't run out of position, and it's the opponent's problem if you don't get the ball to your feet.
Lin Quan saw Diego Costa's movement, but this time, he did not choose to pass it to the opponent.
Although Diego Costa ran away, there were three Dutch center backs in front of him.
With one against three, Lin Quan didn't think he had any chance of winning.
However, he still pretended to observe the forward's position and sent a through ball.
When the players of the Dutch team saw Lin Quan observing Diego Costa's movement, they all thought that the ball was going to be passed to the opponent.
Unexpectedly, the ball went towards the wing!
David Silva received Lin Quan's pass and immediately passed the ball again without thinking, like muscle memory.
When David Silva passed the ball, Lin Quan was still behind him, but by the time he completed the pass, Lin Quan had already rushed past him.
The tacit understanding formed by the two playing in the national team and club allowed them to complete this wonderful cooperation.
The Dutch full-back Janmaat, who was rushing forward, was easily passed by the two of them hitting the wall.
Lin Quan received a pass from David Silva, and there were no defensive players around him!
De Rong was half a step slower and failed to keep up with Lin Quan. Although he was chasing closely at this time, there was at least a five-meter gap between the two.
This distance is enough for Lin Quan to complete an attack!
Van Gaal, the head coach of the Dutch team, smelled the danger and stood up from the coaching bench.
He stared at the court with a serious expression, and at the same time he was praying deep in his heart: Don't let that kid score the ball!
Dutch defender Vlaar had to leave the penalty area and took the initiative to press towards Lin Quan.
Three central defenders are better. Even if the full-backs are passed, they can still take one of the three central defenders to deal with the enemy's wing attack.
Although Flair had heard of Lin Quan's great reputation, he knew that the opponent was very powerful.
But relying on the fact that his teammates were by his side, he had the courage to rush over fiercely, as if he wanted to steal the ball directly from Lin Quan's feet.
This choice is undoubtedly very stupid.
Lin Quan didn't let him get used to it, smashing the ball, accelerating, and changing direction.
With a set of silky small combos, he easily passed the opponent and entered the penalty area.
This time, a 2-on-2 situation formed in the penalty area.
Spain has two players, Lin Quan and Diego Costa, in the penalty area at the same time, while the Dutch team only has two central defenders left.
Another defender, DeVry, originally planned to cooperate with his teammates to intercept Lin Quan, but he did not expect that Vlaar would be passed so quickly, which caught him off guard.
At this time, Lin Quan had already entered the penalty area and could shoot at any time. DeVry had no choice but to move quickly towards Lin Quan with his hands behind his back, hoping to block his shot.
Diego Costa, who was left with only one defender, finally found an opportunity, squeezed out the space with all his strength, and reached out for the ball.
Lin Quan glanced at him and pretended to pass the ball to him, but suddenly accelerated, rushed past DeVry from the left, and finished the shot before the goalkeeper blocked it in place.
This time, Dutch goalkeeper Cillessen failed to create a miracle.
The football rolled close to the ground and into the goal!
The score became 1:0. Lin Quan scored his first goal in the World Cup, helping the Spanish team temporarily lead the Netherlands!
The moment Lin Quan scored, the crowd burst into cheers, and the Spanish fans hugged each other excitedly.
The Dutch team's opening counterattacks frightened the Spanish fans. At this time, Lin Quan's goal was like a life-saving pill, making their hearts no longer so nervous and uneasy.
The Dutch fans on the other side were all dejected and their mood was at rock bottom.
In the stadium, the Brazilian team, which had just finished the first round of the group stage, came to watch the game.
After seeing Lin Quan's goal, Neymar's expression was very serious.
In the Confederations Cup, the Brazilian team was defeated miserably by Spain, and his golden boot was kicked away by Lin Quan.
Now, on the larger and more important stage of the World Cup, seeing Lin Quan's increasingly unsolvable performance on the court, Neymar felt quite uneasy.
This scene on the court gave him a familiar sense of déjà vu, as if it was a repeat of the Confederations Cup.
Could it be that he was the one standing in front of me in the end?
In addition to Brazil, several teams aiming to win the championship, such as Argentina and Germany, are all paying attention to this game.
Seeing Spain suppressing the Dutch team and taking an early lead, the players and coaches of these teams had solemn expressions on their faces.
"This Spanish team's weaknesses and strengths have become more prominent!"
German team coach Loew said seriously.
Compared with the head coach's attention to the team, players like Ronaldo and Messi pay more attention to Lin Quan's personal performance.
Judging from the 15 minutes of the first half, Lin Quan was in very good condition.
Perhaps because this is his first time participating in the World Cup, his enthusiasm and hunger for goals in the game are beyond the average player.
This puts a lot of pressure on the two of them. With Lin Quan's strength, he may be able to score a lot of goals in this World Cup.
Fortunately for Messi, if the team can win, he doesn't care so much about personal data.
Ronaldo is different. Portugal has no hope of winning the championship, so he is very concerned about his personal data in this World Cup.
He must not be compared with this guy. Thinking of this, Ronaldo decided to practice for a while and try to adjust his condition to the best before the game!
…
On the court, Lin Quan planned to celebrate with a bow and arrow after scoring a goal.
As a result, before he could make a move, he was knocked down by the swarming teammates.
Diego Costa didn't touch the ball at all in this offense and became completely a tool man.
But he didn't have any complaints. Instead, he was more excited and excited than the average Spanish player.
For him, his choice to join the Spanish national team was a huge risk.
This move is originally a hugging behavior, and many people are ashamed of it.
If Spain fails to win the World Cup or even fails to advance out of the group stage, his choice will be ridiculed by fans in Brazil and around the world.
If the host Brazil team finally wins the championship, I'm afraid there will be even more people laughing at him.
Therefore, although Diego Costa is not a native Spaniard, he wants Spain to win this World Cup more than anyone else.
Because only in this way can he prove that his choice is right.
Besides, although Lin Quan is young, he is Del Bosque's confidant and the core of the team's tactics. His qualifications are much older than his half-way monk. Diego Costa does not dare to force the opponent to pass the ball to him.
On the sidelines, after seeing Lin Quan score, Del Bosque felt a big stone in his heart finally fall to the ground.
He hugged several assistant coaches excitedly to celebrate, then returned to the coaching bench and sat down in front of him.
After taking the lead, Spain can start to implement the tactics they formulated before.
Haha, Van Gaal, I want to see how you deal with our new tactics?
On the Dutch team's coaching bench, he glanced at the time and score on the scoreboard, and Van Gaal, who had signed with Manchester United, frowned.
Spain's No. 30 is even better than what he saw on the tape.
When we arrive in the Premier League next season and meet Manchester City led by him, Manchester United may not be able to play well!
He suddenly regretted taking over the hot potato of Manchester United, because the dilemma faced by Manchester United was more difficult than he imagined.
Van Gaal's troubles don't stop there.
When Spain ended its celebrations and the game restarted, he was shocked to find that the defending champion, Spain, ranked first in football, actually retreated into its own half and launched a defensive counterattack.
Van Gaal rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he had seen it wrong.
Hasn't Spain always played pass-and-control football that presses and attacks?
Why did you suddenly start a defensive counterattack?
This gives people an extremely strange feeling, as if Spain has not seen this tactic used for six or seven years!
Could it be that this old boy, Del Bosque, was so shameless in order to preserve the victory?
Not only was Van Gaal surprised, the Dutch players on the field and the fans at the scene, including Spain's own fans, were all stunned by Spain's tactics.
Although this Spanish team has not changed much, why does it feel so unfamiliar?
Is this really the Spanish team we know?
Facts have proved that defensive counterattacks are not scary, but the world champion is afraid of defensive counterattacks.
After Spain took the initiative to retreat, the Dutch team was a little at a loss for a while.
They set up a 532 formation originally to counter Spain's counterattack, but the opponent also launched a defensive counterattack and took the initiative to give up space for movement.
This made their tactics completely ineffective!
Without a sprinting space, their wing offensive threat plummeted.
The configuration of five defenders also damaged their midfield strength, making them ineffective when pressing and attacking.
Although the ball possession rate quickly increased, the frontcourt offense gradually lost its threat.
This is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that the roles of the two teams have reversed. Before, Spain was worried about the Dutch team's quick counterattack.
Now it's the Dutch team's turn to be wary of Spain's quick counterattack!
In the 25th minute, Spain intercepted the ball in the backcourt and launched a quick counterattack.
After Lin Quan got the ball in the middle and passed De Guzman, in order to prevent Spain's attack, the latter made a decisive tactical foul and dragged Lin Quan down and received the first yellow card of the game.
Two minutes later, Spain once again got a good chance to counterattack.
Casillas threw the ball to David Silva on the wing.
David Silva passed the ball forward under the interference of the defensive player.
The force of this pass was slightly greater. The Dutch full-back Janmat felt that he had a chance to get the ball, so he quickly rushed in the direction of the rolling football.
At the same time, Lin Quan, who accelerated from behind, also rushed towards the ball.
The two were about the same distance from the football, and Janmat seemed to have a chance to destroy the ball before Lin Quan.
However, after running a few steps, he realized that his start was half a beat too slow and his speed was slower than that of his opponent. It was almost impossible to get the ball before Lin Quan.
So, Janmat quickly put down the tackle, hoping to prevent Lin Quan from getting the ball in this way.
Seeing the opponent's move, the Spanish fans at the scene showed disappointment.
The opponent has already made a tackle. In order to avoid injury, most players will give up this opportunity at this time.
However, what surprised them was that Lin Quan did not slow down and continued to accelerate towards the football.
"Is he crazy?"
"Lin, stop it!"
"This will hurt!"
Seeing this scene, the Spanish fans exclaimed!
It had only been more than 20 minutes since the game started. If Lin Quan was injured, it would be completely useless to win the game.
However, Lin Quan was not reckless.
He saw Janmat's tackle, so he didn't force the ball.
Instead, he kicks the ball away before the opponent touches it.
Without the ball at his feet, Lin Quan easily jumped up and avoided the opponent's tackle.
However, his speed also stopped as a result, and he was unable to chase the football that rolled out.
It seemed that what he just did didn't make any sense, because the ball was not at his feet, but rolled towards the baseline.
However, a white figure quickly passed by the two of them on the wing and headed straight for the football - David Silva!
It turns out that Lin Quan's kick just now was not only to prevent the football from being destroyed by Janmatt but also to pass the ball to David Silva.
The tacit understanding between the two came into play again at this moment. Although there was no communication throughout the whole process, the two seemed to understand each other's inner thoughts and played in perfect harmony!
Lin Quan's pass this time was so unexpected that the Dutch defenders did not react. It was not until David Silva suddenly accelerated that they realized the danger. They retreated hurriedly, trying to return to their own area.
David Silva accelerated and ran wildly, finally catching up with the ball near the baseline.
He glanced in the direction of the goal and sent a low cross.
Diego Costa sprinted away from the defender in a few steps, stepped out with his long legs, and stretched out his feet.
Unfortunately, when he was shooting, he was pulled from behind by someone, and his body was a little unbalanced. The shot did not go towards the goal, but flew high into the sky.
Diego Costa suddenly became wise and fell to the penalty area with a scream.
He was sure that the opponent was pulling someone, and this must be a foul!
According to football foul rules, a penalty kick shall be awarded if fouled in the penalty area.
But if the offensive team gets the ball, it must first ensure that the offense is favorable, with the aim of allowing the offensive team to "continue to naturally score goals in the subsequent sports battles."
However, if this offense does not score a goal, the offense that "could have been stopped" will be invalid, and the previous foul will be punished and a penalty kick will be awarded.
However, there is a prerequisite for this, which is that the referee must notice that the opponent has committed a foul.
So, Diego Costa deliberately screamed like a killing pig to attract the referee's attention.
Sure enough, as soon as he screamed, the golden whistler Zoli from Italy immediately blew the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot.
