Chapter 351 The Powerful Spanish Team

When the commentator at the Nou Camp reported the starting list of the visiting Chinese national team, the Spanish fans at the scene also felt the pressure.

Among these eleven people, there is a World Player of the Year, a striker who has been selected to the top ten of the World Player of the Year for several consecutive years, a goalkeeper who is one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A, a star who ranks first in the Serie A assist list all the year round, and a rookie midfielder who has performed steadily in La Liga for the past three seasons... This lineup is so famous that even Spanish fans dare not ignore it!

But when they heard their national team's starting line-up, there was a huge cheer.

This is a starting lineup that is a level higher than the Chinese team in terms of fame and strength!

The goalkeeper, 30-year-old Casillas, has become the absolute main goalkeeper of Real Madrid and the Spanish national team since he was 17 years old. Spain's super goalkeeper Casillas!
Defender, the right back is Barcelona's captain Puyol, the two central backs are Barcelona's Pique and Valencia's Marchena, the left back is Capdevila who played for Chelsea in the Premier League. Torres, in this lineup, every player is a world-class superstar who became famous as a teenager and is now at his peak. On the bench, there are also a large number of stars who can play the main force in any giant, such as Villa, Busquez, Mata, Guiza, Albiol, and Valdez!
Not afraid of ignorance, but afraid of comparing goods. As soon as the list of the Spanish national team came out, the starlight of the Chinese national team seemed to dim a lot.

If the Chinese national team was changed, they would not be afraid of the Spanish national team. After all, they have cooperated together for a long time since they were young. There is no problem in terms of personal ability or cooperation.

Spain's strongest midfielder is of course their midfielder. Although they have stars like Puyol and Pique in the defense, and superstars like Torres and Villa in the forward line, the midfielder composed of five core players such as Alonso, Xavi, Cesc Fabregas, Silva and Iniesta is the best in the world. Even Brazil and Argentina may not be able to find five midfielders with such excellent skills.

These five players can play the core position of the midfield in any giants. Alonso has both offense and defense. Xavi and Fabregas are the glue of the offense. Silva and Iniesta have stronger impact. If you change to other teams, even if you only have two such players, you will have a headache about who should be the core of the offense.Spain is not a single core in the midfield, nor is it dual core, but five cores!Five people are the core!

Being able to form this main lineup also proves that Bosque attaches great importance to this game. You must know that this is not a commercial game. It is impossible for China to require the Spanish national team to send all the main players, but Bosque still sent all the main players, which proves that he also regards this game as an important game.

When the players from both sides ran into the Camp Nou stadium, cheers broke out in the stadium with the largest capacity in Europe. Of course, most of them were given to the home team, the Spanish national team. The focus was on Barcelona players such as Puyol, Pique, Xavi, and Iniesta.

When Long Bisheng stepped onto the court, he felt the tremendous pressure brought by the court, even though he was not a starter.

It is 48 meters high and has a total of three tiers of stands. The top stand looks like it extends directly to the sky. The floodlight lighting system covers the entire stadium, and the huge sound waves come from all around. As the visiting team, they must feel the great power of this stadium all the time on the field.

Compared with this stadium, Hoffenheim's Rhein-Neckar Stadium is really like a country club's stadium. Although it can accommodate [-] fans and is also a Bundesliga-level stadium, compared with a world-class stadium like Camp Nou, the gap is as big as the gap between Hoffenheim and Barcelona.

"Don't be nervous, Aaron." The surroundings patted Long Bisheng on the shoulder: "When I come to the Nou Camp for the first time, I will always be surprised... I was even scared when I came to the Nou Camp for the first time. That game became my nightmare, but when I came for the second time, it was much better."

"Are you sure you're just scared? Didn't you pee your pants?" Zhang Yi next to him teased him.

"Do you think I'm you?" The surroundings rolled their eyes, and a few people joked relaxedly, and came to the bench to sit down.

In fact, these young players were a little nervous. Although they did not start the game, they were more likely to be nervous off the court because they could not concentrate all their attention on the court and felt more pressure from the fans in the stands.

What's more, each of them is a standard national team rookie. Even the old players can rarely face the world-class opponents of the Spanish national team in a world-class stadium like the Nou Camp.

At this moment, the game began.

After the game started, more balls were sent to Dai Guangming's feet. First, his position was to attack the attacking midfielder and he was a well-deserved organizer. Second, he had played in Spain for five years, including two years in La Liga and nearly three years in La Liga. He is more familiar with the style of Spanish football.

Dai Guangming has performed well. After spending five years in Spain, the league that best suits his style, Dai Guangming's skills have become better and better. His organizational ability in the middle and his ability to break through with the ball have also made great progress. At least when facing world-class midfielders such as Alonso, Xavi, and Cesc Fabregas, he did not show timidity. Instead, he continued to use his technology and breakthrough ability to organize attacks.

The front midfielder performed well, and the entire midfield was alive. Li Fang's running and crossing, Du Zhenyu's quick breakthrough, Hu Gandang's cover and steals from behind, all four players in the midfield of the Chinese team played at a high level.

The reason is very simple. The four midfielders of the Chinese team played very well, but the five superstars of the Spanish team played even better. With the advantage in numbers, they continued to tear through the defense line of the China Youth Team through skillful cooperation and personal skills.

Although the two full-backs Sun Chenghai and Huang Zhenghong of the Chinese team often come to the midfield to help defend, the two Spanish full-backs are not vegetarians. Puyol and Capdevila are better than Sun Chenghai and Huang Zhenghong in terms of strength and reputation. Their forward movement does not have much effect.

After 10 minutes, Spain began to occupy the advantage of the midfield. The Chinese team could only rely on Messi to retreat to get the ball and use his personal skills to create trouble for Spain's defense line.

After taking advantage, Spain finally scored.

Xavi and Cesc Fabregas penetrated the Chinese team's defense with a series of beautiful short passes in the midfield. Torres at the front of the penalty area attracted the attention of Du Wei and Li Jie after receiving Xavi's precise through ball, and then cleverly distributed the ball to Silva who inserted in the wing. Silva broke through Chu Ran's ten-finger pass with a wonderful small-angle volley, and Spain led [-]-[-]!

The lagging Chinese team began to exert force and played a small climax. After 5 minutes behind, Dai Guangming dribbled the ball in the middle to break through from the pinch of Alonso and Cesc Fabregas, and then cleverly passed the ball to Messi in the penalty area.

After the equalizer, the morale of the Chinese team was boosted, and they launched several threatening attacks in a row. However, due to the lack of tacit understanding among the players, they missed two good opportunities. Naturally, the seasoned Spain would not let the Chinese team continue to attack like this. After the Chinese team failed in an attack, they immediately launched a deadly counterattack!

Fabregas found Torres who was cruising in the frontcourt with a precise direct pass from the backcourt. Under the defense of Li Jie, the former Atletico Madrid golden boy used a wonderful reverse pull to completely knock Li Jie to the ground, and then drove straight in with the ball!

Although Chu Ran attacked in a timely manner, Torres grasped the single-handed ball more calmly. He calmly picked the ball over Chu Ran's head, two to one!Spain leads again!

Two minutes later, Iniesta's breakthrough created a direct free kick at the front of the penalty area. Xavi sent a wonderful penalty kick, the ball went around the wall and went straight to the dead corner!
Three to one, Spain took a two-goal lead in the first half, and the midfield composed of five superstars firmly grasped the situation on the field-now Spain is even stronger than when it won the European Championship in 08!
Because at that time, although Cesc Fabregas, Silva and Iniesta were talented, they were far from reaching their peak. Now, they are all between 24 and 26 years old. Their physical fitness has not declined, but their experience has become quite rich. Now is their true peak period!
