Chapter 524 Spain’s 30th victory, Bosque’s tactics worked

June 15th, the second round of the European Cup group stage rewards.

The French team is still in a slow state. In this game against Albania, the weakest team in the group, they failed to score a goal in the 90 minutes of regular time. Giroud was unlucky to hit another post.

However, just when everyone thought they were about to be tied by Albania, in stoppage time, the French suddenly came to their senses. Two consecutive goals from Griezmann and Payet beat the Albanians and everyone present. The audience was stunned!

Since you have such strength, why wait until the last minute of the game? Wouldn't it be better to use it earlier?

Although the victory was not so beautiful, the Frenchman, who had won two consecutive victories, had already qualified one round ahead of schedule.

And thanks to a tie between Switzerland and Romania in another game, the French also locked in the first place in the group early.

Now, they can think about their opponents in the knockout rounds in advance.

Not only the French, but also the British have shown some improvement.

In the second round, the British defeated their younger brother Wales 2:1 in the civil war.

Although Bell scored first, the British still had the last laugh with goals from Vardy and Sturridge.

Facts have proved that the British may not be good in foreign wars, but they are good in civil wars.

After defeating Wales, its biggest competitor, Britain's points reached 4 points, ranking first in Group B.

However, since Wales and Slovakia also have 3 points, the British cannot take it lightly. Facing Slovakia in the next round, they must at least draw to ensure qualifying. If they lose, they will most likely fall to third in the group. .

Whether you can qualify at that time will depend on the third place results of other groups.

In Group C, the Germans met the Poles.

The German team had a great advantage in this game. They originally wanted to blitz Poland again, but they kicked the iron plate.

The Poles were at a disadvantage in the game and had 0 shots on target, but they relied on defense to force the German tank to a stop.

At the end of the game, the two teams ended in a goalless draw, with each scoring one point.

This result is within an acceptable range for both sides. Both teams currently have 4 points. The German team is temporarily ranked first because of an extra goal difference. The qualifying situation is very optimistic and it is very likely that they will advance together.

When it was the turn of Group D, everyone's focus was once again on the Spanish team.

Although the outside world believes that it is impossible for Lin Quan to play for the Spanish team, there are still some fans who are unwilling to give up, holding on to a little bit of luck and expectation, and want to see him in Spain's starting lineup or on the bench. The figure of that person.

However, what disappoints them is that in this game, Bosque still did not use Lin Quan.

After seeing this result, the fans were disappointed and began to accept the results reported by the media: Lin Quan was really absent from this European Cup!

The Turkish coach was overjoyed when he saw that Lin Quan was not in the Spanish team. He resolutely implemented the established tactics and set up a 433 formation to fight against Spain.

Bosque naturally wants this. If you want to attack, then go ahead!

In this game, the whole Spanish team seemed to have changed into a different team, especially the three players on the front line, who seemed to have suddenly enlightened and knew how to shoot overnight.

In the 34th minute of the first half, after a series of wonderful cooperation, Spain's offense shifted to the left. Nolito dribbled the ball down and sent a high-quality cross.

The opponent's defender made a fatal mistake such as a header. Morata rushed over cleverly, accepted the gift with a smile, and easily headed the ball in.

The score became 1:0!

Spain, with its morale boosted, further intensified its siege against Turkey.

Faced with heavy pressure and impatience after falling behind, Turkish players frequently made mistakes.

Only 2 minutes had passed since the last goal was conceded. Turkey's defender made another huge mistake when clearing the ball. Topal's header in defense failed to get the ball out of the penalty area. Instead, it was given to Spanish winger No. Lito.

The latter was taken aback, reacted and shot the ball into the dead corner, 2-0!

Spain wins again!

Turkey's morale was severely damaged by the consecutive conceding of goals. Their head coach was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot on the sidelines, shouting and screaming at the players on the court, but to no avail.

In the second half, Turkey changed sides and played again. Turkey took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Shaheen, who played for Dortmund, came on and replaced Leverkusen's Calhanoglu.

However, this substitution adjustment did not have any effect. Shaheen is no longer the young boy who shined in Europe. Now, he has long lost the spirituality of his youth.

In the 48th minute, Spain once again played exquisite coordination.

Iniesta received Professor Bu's pass, avoided the opponent's interception and then dribbled the ball forward.

He accurately found the loophole in the opponent's defense, and after reaching the edge of the penalty area, he sent a through ball. Alba stepped in and prepared to shoot. The opponent's goalkeeper was well prepared and moved in advance to block Alba's shooting angle.

Faced with this opportunity to shoot and pass, Alba did not take credit and passed the ball across the goal. Morata easily pushed the shot into the empty goal and the score became 3:0.

Spain expanded its lead and Morata also scored his first double in this European Cup.

After scoring this goal, Morata became extremely excited.

The previous criticism of him from the outside world put him under tremendous pressure. Under the heavy pressure, he even began to doubt his own strength.

And before the start of this European Cup, his agent told him that Real Madrid would send people to the scene to inspect his performance.

This is related to whether he can return to Real Madrid from Juventus. If he does not play well in this game, he is really worried that he will not be able to return to the Bernabeu.

In the first game, Morata was completely criticized by the outside world for his poor performance. After he scored twice in this game, the fans' attitude towards him immediately changed 180 degrees.

Countless Spanish fans regard him as the team's new savior, hoping that he can carry the team's banner and lead Spain to create new miracles in the absence of Lin Quan, the soul of the team.

The applause and cheers of the fans, and his inner desire to perform well in front of his new club, made Morata the most active player on the field.

After scoring twice, he was not satisfied and actively participated in every battle, hoping to score the third goal and complete the first hat trick of this European Cup.

In the 49th minute, Morata nodded the ball from behind the goal. It was a pity that the ball was slightly off. He missed the opportunity to complete the hat trick.

In the 64th minute, Spain got a free kick opportunity. Ramos took the penalty and hit it directly on the wall to pop out of the baseline.

After Spain's corner kick was taken, Morata and Ramos jumped high to compete for the landing spot. As a result, neither of them got the first landing spot, and the ball was cleared by the opponent's defender.

In the 68th minute, Morata had the best chance to complete a hat trick.

Spain cooperated in the frontcourt. Iniesta took the ball from the outside and passed it diagonally to Morata. Morata was a little anxious to receive the ball and did not continue to break forward. Instead, he directly took a long shot and was knocked down by the opponent's goalkeeper. Block the ball.

Afterwards, Spain made substitution adjustments, and David Silva and Cesc Fabregas were replaced one after another.

The defending champion is about to start calling in his troops!

After losing the support of the midfielder, the opportunities obtained by Morata, Nolito and others were greatly reduced. After more than 20 minutes, neither side made any achievements.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 3:0. Spain, without the core of the team Lin Quan, achieved two consecutive victories and qualified for the group stage one round ahead of schedule.

Although three goals were just commonplace for Spain in the past, for this Spain that lacked Lin Quan, it can be said to be a very incredible record.

And this score is also the largest score difference since the start of this European Cup!

Most of the teams that can participate in the European Cup are very good, and it is difficult to achieve a very big score difference.

Competitions at levels like the European Cup and World Cup are actually much more intense than the Champions League.

In the Champions League and club leagues, players are just wage earners, clocking in to work and working as hard as they pay. At most, when it comes to honors such as championship titles, they can only rely on the encouragement of coaches to make a living. .

But in the national team competitions, especially the World Cup and the European Cup, which are held every four years and can bring glory to the country, the players do not need anyone to motivate them, they just give themselves a boost.

Many fans feel that the World Cup and European Cup games are not good to watch. This is mainly because the physical confrontation in these games is very intense, the defense intensity is very high, and the offense is too difficult.

You can't score a few goals in a game, it's all about confrontation, and it's really not as good-looking as the club's Pisa, which is full of goals.

In addition, the selection of the national team is too narrow, the players do not have enough interaction with each other, and the lack of tacit cooperation is also an important reason why the game is not good to watch.

Because of this, the national teams of many countries simply use the lineup of a certain club.

For example, the Barcelona central axis of the Spanish team, the Juventus defense of the Italian team, etc.

…

Just when they defeated Turkey, good news came from another arena.

With Croatia leading 2:0, the Czech team was tied in stoppage time!

In this way, in the next game between Spain and Croatia, as long as they draw, they will be ranked first in the group!

After winning this victory, Bosque was even more proud and praised his disciples again. When reporters asked about Lin Quan again, Bosque still said the same as before:

"Lin is ready to play for the team at any time!"

It's just words like this that everyone selectively ignores.

"It seems that we have underestimated the strength of Spain. Although Lin Huang is missing, their lineup is still too luxurious. The strength of these top stars cannot be underestimated!"

"Morata, the forward, doesn't look as bad as I thought. Maybe he just performed abnormally in the last game!"

The criticism and doubts about Spain on the Internet began to decrease, and the voices praising and approving them gradually increased.

If you win, you will brag and if you lose, you will complain. This is just the basic behavior of some fans.

In the subsequent Group E and Group F matches, Italy and Belgium defeated their respective opponents.

Italy won both games and qualified for the group stage one round ahead of schedule.

After Belgium scored 3 points, the qualifying situation also improved. As long as they beat Sweden in the next game, they can also ensure qualifying.

As for Sweden and Ireland, both teams currently only have one point. If they want to qualify, they have to fight their opponents in the next game.

Compared with Group E, the competition in Group F is very interesting.

Both games in the second round ended in draws, with Portugal and Austria drawing to a goalless draw.

Hungary 1:1 Iceland.

This result is very beneficial to Hungary. With 4 points, they have the initiative to qualify. As long as they don't lose in the next game, they can ensure qualifying and even lock in the first place in the group.

The remaining three teams, Iceland and Portugal, only have 2 points, and Austria only has 1 point.

They must strive to win the next game to have any hope of qualifying, especially for Portugal. The next game is against Hungary. If unfortunately they draw, they are likely to be eliminated.

This result has increased the outside world's doubts about Ronaldo. Portugal's lineup is indeed not as strong as top teams such as Germany, France and Spain.

But it's not that weak, right?

Cristiano Ronaldo has not scored in two consecutive games, which makes people doubt his status.

For a player of his age, this may very well be his last European Cup.

When the next European Cup starts, Ronaldo will be 35 years old. Even if he participates, how much strength and condition will he have left?

If you don't take advantage of the great opportunity now, when you're still at your peak, and work hard to achieve good results, you really won't have any chance.

"Alas, when it comes to national team honors, Ronaldo and Messi are really like brothers!"

"Portugal's overall strength is weak, Argentina's overall strength is not weak, but if you are unlucky, you will either encounter an unreliable head coach like Lao Ma or a strong enemy like Spain. If you are more lucky, you may have already Lifted the Hercules Cup!"

"As for Portugal, there is really nothing we can do about it. Cristiano Ronaldo's performance is indeed not good, but didn't Ibrahimovic next door fail to support the team? Modern football is no longer a game that can be won by just one person. , this is a team game!”

Although this is said, some people still feel dissatisfied. After all, there really is a monster in football who can change the outcome by himself!

As the group stage comes to an end, several favorites for the European Cup have also been announced.

"Looking at the current competition, the teams most likely to win the championship are Spain, Germany and France. The remaining teams have little hope!"

"Haha, don't I, Italy, have no face?"

"The British Empire can fight, but we are still undefeated!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, and the Internet was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere!
