Chapter 1086
Three goals behind in the game, the Spanish team had no choice but to increase their offensive efforts. However, Bosque's adjustment was unexpected. He did not replace the full-back with a striker. Instead, he replaced Iniesta, who was relatively sluggish, with David Villa.

In addition, what attracts attention is that Valencia midfielder Cazorla replaced midfielder Harvey.

Bosque's two consecutive substitutions were completely unexpected. According to many people's ideas, he replaced Azpilicueta, who had a yellow card hidden danger, with a striker, but the result was that Barcelona stars Xavi and Iniesta were replaced at the same time.

Of course, it is understandable that Bosque replaced Iniesta, who was not active in attacking performance, but it is a bit incomprehensible to replace Xavi. You must know that the fundamental reason why Spain can achieve impressive results in international competitions in the past is that Xavi, who is not showing any signs of leakage, made silent contributions behind his back.

However, Andy Gray, the commentator of Sky TV in the live commentary booth, seemed to have noticed a trace of dignable information in this substitution. He tried to say: "When Spain fell behind by three goals, Bosque chose to replace Xavi. Does this mean that he wants to rebuild Spain? After all, Harvey is now 32 years old, and his running ability and confrontation ability on the court have declined to a certain extent. This is also the fundamental reason why the Chinese team can restrain the Spanish organization in the midfield..."

Martin Taylor nodded and said: "Looking at the whole game, the quality of Spain's offense has declined greatly compared to before. In addition to the strong midfield control of the Chinese team, the other reason is that Spain's midfield control is declining. They cannot control the pace of the game, which allows the Chinese team to play so many threatening offenses. Therefore, it is easy to understand that Bosque chose to use Valencia's offensive kit. They used to represent Valencia in the past. They won all the honors that clubs can get.

"That's right, Valencia's offensive combination has performed very well in the past three seasons. It has a tacit cooperation, a beautiful style of play, and a lot of goals. I just don't know how much success this offensive combination has left without the captain Ai..."

During the conversation between Martin Taylor and Andy Gray, Spain also completed the substitution. After all, Spain is currently three goals behind, and every second is very important to them. Although Xavi and Iniesta who were replaced were dissatisfied, they must show their professionalism in consideration of the overall interests of the team.

However, when Sky TV agreed with Bosque's substitution, the local TV commentator in Barcelona was not slow. He thought that Bosque's substitution was aimed at the players of the Barcelona team, so he said disappointedly: "Is Bosque an old man? The role of Xavi and Iniesta is very obvious on the field. Substitute them when Spain continues to attack? I really can't understand!!"

In fact, most of the Spanish commentators are quite satisfied with Bosque’s substitution. In past national team honor games, he used core players from Barcelona. Now that Xavi is getting old, helping the team’s offense is not as good as before. It is a normal choice to replace him.

The local commentator in Madrid even thought that Bosque's substitution was a bit late, and some commentators believed that all the players from the Barcelona faction should be replaced.

※※※

Bosque's substitution adjustments were very effective. With David Villa and Cazorla entering the game, Spain, which was three goals behind, showed a last-ditch attitude. Even Jordi Alba and Azpilicueta dared to move forward to participate in the attack, putting great pressure on the Chinese team.

The Spanish fans in the stands also rejuvenated with the strength of the players on the field, and burst into loud cheers, cheering and cheering for those hard-working players.

Standing on the sidelines, Guardiola realized that it was time for the team to make a substitution. Taking advantage of a dead ball, Guardiola replaced Huang Bowen, who was stronger in offense than defense, with Zhao Xuri, who was stronger in defense, to strengthen the defense.

After all, the game has entered 10 minutes, leading by three goals, shrinking defense is a good choice.

But what he didn't expect was that this substitution didn't achieve the result he wanted. The attack line composed of David Villa, David Silva and Cazorla cooperated very tacitly, which made the defensive players of the Chinese team a little depressed, because they couldn't touch the football at all.

As Spain took the initiative on the field, they got more shooting opportunities.

However, at this time, Spain suffered a fatal blow.

Of course, it wasn't that the Chinese team took advantage of Spain's lack of defense and scored the fourth goal of the game, but... a red card.

In the 705th minute, Busquets made a direct pass to Cazorla, but Zhao Xuri predicted in advance and kept the ball.

Zhao Xuri immediately handed the ball to Zhang Xizhe, who quickly opened up the gap. The latter took the ball and turned around in one go, swaying Busquets' attack, and then directly stuffed the ball to the left side of his attack, and Ai Luo inserted it at high speed.

Ai Luo took the ball and crossed the center line. Pique blocked Ai Luo's inward cut route when he returned to the defense, and chose to fight and retreat.

"---Chance!!"

With He Wei's shout, Ai Luo faced Pique, who was fighting and retreating. He unreasonably pushed the ball towards the bottom line to fight for speed.

Suddenly, the stands erupted into loud cheers.

Because from their visual point of view, Ai Luo gradually equaled Pique from a place farther from the bottom line, and then surpassed...

Such a visually impactful speed competition has caused countless Chinese fans and neutral fans to surge in adrenaline!
Pique, who realized that Ai Luo was about to force a breakthrough, lost control of his emotions and was extremely dissatisfied with Ai Luo's choice. His idea was that the Chinese team had already led by three goals, so is it necessary to score another goal?So he was going to show Ai Luo some color.

But Ai Luo was obviously prepared and jumped up when Pique fell to the ground and slid the shovel, but Pique reacted quickly and found that Ai Luo lifted his right leg immediately after taking off, and the toe of his right foot rested on Ai Luo's left foot.

So Ai Luo lost all his center of gravity in mid-air, and fell forward on the turf.

The referee on duty was in a good position, ran up to Pique without hesitation, and gave him a Ruby God of War card!
The Spanish fans at the Maracana Stadium were a little dazed. Not to mention the score was three goals behind, and now they were sent off again.

The Chinese fans in the stands were very excited. At the moment when the referee gave the red card, they even played a human wave...
