Chapter 320 The Mighty Spanish Team

The Euro 2012 final, the match between England and Spain, officially kicked off at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv.

The referee blows the whistle to announce the start of the game.

The audience cheered, the two sides officially entered the confrontation stage, and the media also began to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams.

Just like what the Spanish coach Boas said, he sent three strikers, namely Silva, Cesc Fabregas and Iniesta, but Spain uses the 433 formation, which is understood by many people. , it can also be said to be a 460 formation, because none of the three strikers is a real striker.

In the Spanish array, the back three midfielders are Alonso, Xavi and Busquets. The Barcelona trio is still very powerful in the European Cup.

In the previous few games, Spain has had two '460 formations'. It is not the first time for them to do this. It also shows everyone the power of the 'no striker' Spain team, and their goals are not affected much. , the tactical flexibility is stronger.

No one dares to underestimate such a Spanish team.

England's lineup has not changed from the last game. It is still 4231. Morris is still the core of the frontcourt. According to the last game between England and Germany, many media analyzed that England will play a match against Spain. , But when the game started, everyone found that the England team was not in a hurry to attack.

In the whole team, it is the core Morris who has received much attention.

Morris can be said to be the 'pointer' of the England team. He is more involved in defense, and the England team will show a kind of 'defensiveness'. Otherwise, England will focus on offense.

From the first minute of the game, Morris has been doing defensive work. He seems to have become a midfielder, and he is a midfielder similar to a central defender. For five consecutive minutes, he did not even run to the frontcourt, even if Getting the ball is also handed over to teammates, and sits in the back defense to ensure the team's defense stability.

"England played quite conservatively!" After 10 minutes of the game, some media have concluded, "Football is under Spain's control most of the time, English players don't seem to be in a hurry to grab the ball, they just keep retreating, and then back..."

Spain is undoubtedly very strong.

In La Liga, Wansheng led Atlético de Madrid to continuously defeat Real Madrid and Barcelona. Every game was very difficult, but most games were won, and some games were also won big. From this point of view, Victories over Real Madrid and Barcelona don't seem like a big deal either.

Then switch to the Spanish team, in fact, it is nothing.

But in fact, the gap between the England team and Atletico Madrid is very large. The first is the gap in technical level. Compared with the world's top level, most of the players in the English team have rough skills. In comparison, the Spanish team needs to be technically and cooperatively. A notch higher.

This is already a grade gap.

Such a gap is easily reflected on the field of play. The Spanish team has shown the strength of 'dominating the world', at least much stronger than the England team, and they have an absolute advantage in the situation.

Wan Sheng was prepared for this.

The Spanish team is not like the previous Germany and Italy. Their skills and cooperation are the best in the world. It is precisely because they understand the strength of the Spanish team that Wansheng will make the team play more patiently, or more conservatively. The purpose is to keep the goal and not lose the ball too early, which will make the game fall into the rhythm of the opponent.

Some media called for a technical confrontation in the European Cup final.

But if you really want to play against Spain, the England team's winning rate will not exceed 30%. This is still in the case of various coaches' skill bonuses. If you choose to defend hard, the winning rate will exceed 50%.

Wansheng, no matter whether the game is good or not, victory is the most important thing.

Although England played conservatively and defended quite patiently, Spain still frequently looked for opportunities to threaten England's goal during the opening period.

The game was as expected by many.

Spanish coach Bosque also took a long breath. In fact, he was a little nervous before the game.

This game is very important for Spain.

If Spain can win, it will create an unprecedented feat of winning three consecutive championships.

Before the game, Bosque showed confidence that for him, winning the game also means that he will become the slam coach who will win the European Champions Cup, the European Cup and the World Cup. But nothing can be seen from his face. He looks very calm and calm. Some media analysts said, "Bosque is a coach who has seen a big world after all. He may have really reached Mount Tai after winning the championship. The realm where you collapse in front of you without changing your face?"

However, some people have faced the media to debunk his calm appearance, and the "truth" comes from his family.

Bosque's son Alvaro revealed his father's mental state and said: "He is a little nervous, but everything is fine."

Alvaro's words were confirmed by Bosque's wife, Trinidad: "Yes, he does have some tension, it just looks easy for us. I think he should be ok, the most important thing is to win and then Go home happy with the trophy."

If it is against 'normal England', Bosque believes that there will be no nervousness, because the victory is in the hands of the team.

But this England team is 'not normal'!

The normal England team will not go all the way to the European Cup final. Their young Chinese coach is the source of Bosque's anxiety. He knows that he is a guy who is good at creating miracles.

When Bosque coached Real Madrid, he did not encounter a Wansheng team, but a coach who can coach European clubs, win the league championship every season, and can also win the cup and the Champions League, there is no doubt about his ability. .

A young head coach with a championship halo on his head must have an extraordinary coaching style.

Bosque admits that he cannot see Wansheng, and he is very worried about the game.

What if England use any surprising tactics? The Spanish team will be unprepared for this, and the team is likely to be passive.

Fortunately, the game is going on so far, everything is normal.

The team relied on stronger strength and completely suppressed the England team. As long as the game proceeds according to the normal rhythm, the final winner will definitely be the Spanish team.

The game is going the way Bosque thinks it will.

The Spanish team is too strong. They are not only strong in attack, but also in possession. Under the solid defense of the England team, it is not easy for them to find opportunities, but they can last for a long time and keep the ball. Controlled at the feet, there is nothing for England to do.

As soon as the game started, Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, and he kept commanding the defense.

It is very important to increase the movement of players on the field and make the defense more flexible and active. Only by playing harder, breaking the opponent's ball, and finding opportunities to launch a counterattack can the game be more beneficial to the team.

But Wansheng's commanding effect is not very effective.

Under the strong offensive of the Spanish team, the English players were somewhat uncomfortable. In the European Cup, in the past five games, they played very tough, and the game went smoothly. It was the first time they played so passively.

The incompatibility of the England team gave the Spanish team more opportunities.

They gave full play to the advantages of ball control and suppression. England's defense line was compressed again and again, and the midfielders were almost squeezed to the front of the penalty area.

Bosque was more at ease.

This step in the game was even smoother than expected, and it seemed that victory was already beckoning to him.

Some media are starting to worry about England -

"England played passively, the football was under Spain's control most of the time and they had to fall back."

"So far, England has not had a shot!"

"In the previous games in England, they all performed very well, but Spain is Spain. They deserve to be the team that has won two championships in a row. Their strength completely surpasses the European powers..."

"..."

The game also seems to confirm the commentator's words.

In the 21st minute, England's goal fell. This time it was a mistake by the central defender Lescott. He failed to keep up with Silva for the first time. Silva rushed directly to the penalty area and received a pass from Harvey. Heading the ball.

It was too late for goalkeeper Joe Hart to attack and block, and he saw Silva kick up to complete a volley.

The football goes straight into the left net!

“Goooooooooooooooal!!!!!!”

"Silva! David Silva!"

"Only 21 minutes into the game, David Silva helped Spain score a goal! This was a pick from Xavi. The cooperation between the two was very skillful, just like a rehearsal..."

Accompanied by the shouts of the commentator, all the Spanish fans went crazy, and the shouts of the scene filled the entire stadium.

Although they are relatively few in number, this moment belongs to them.

"1-0! Spain takes the lead! This final is a high-profile final, and it is also the first time that England have reached the European Cup final. They have created a new history of English football, but in the final, when they met a strong Spain, the gap is already there..."

"England have been passively defending from the first minute of the game, they have nothing to do with Spain..."

"This is the mighty Spain!"

The Spanish commentator shouted excitedly. In the twenty minutes of the game, the Spanish team scored a goal. In his opinion, there is no suspense in the subsequent games. The subsequent games will be as expected: Spain will continue to expand its lead. advantage, and then win the European Cup without any suspense!

They just wait to celebrate the championship!

England fans are full of unwillingness. They are somewhat down. Although the outside world believes that Spain is stronger and more hopeful to win the championship, England's entry into the final is by no means a foil.

They want the team to perform well!

After Spain scored, they could only watch the game silently, repeating in their hearts: England, come on!
