Chapter 696
Rodri kept running forward and Lin Chen kept running backward, and then the two collided with each other, and all the Spanish players collided with each other!
"You shouldn't have conceded this goal. The first half was about to end, but now you let Spain take the lead into the second half. The rest of the game will be difficult for France!"
"If they play against other teams, you won't see France playing so hard. Spain is still the strongest opponent France can encounter in Europe and even in the world!"
The last thing French fans want to see is Spain scoring a goal, because in the last World Cup, Spain scored first and France lost the game in the end.
French fans understand the feeling of catching up with Spain, it's so hard!
So after the European Cup semi-finals resumed, the French team wanted to equalize the score first!
The 45th minute of the game!
"Benzema tried to create a chance for Griezmann."
"Pass the ball horizontally to Griezmann, then back to Pogba, and shoot!"
"Pogba's shot was saved by Unai Simon!"
"No more time in the first half, and France has no chance anymore!"
At the end of the first half, Deschamps disappeared from the camera. He quickly appeared in the French team's locker room and prepared to make adjustments.
Deschamps saw a lot of areas that needed to be changed, and those changes could help France beat Spain. Spain's defensive capabilities and every player on the defense were beyond Deschamps' expectations!
Stam was also discussing Spain's defense. He felt that every player on this defense was not in the best condition at the club, but after being combined together, they performed so well in the European Cup!
"In fact, Laporte had the opportunity to become a defender for the French team, and he had always expressed his desire to be called up by the French team before being selected by Spain."
"But Deschamps never chose him. From Umtiti at the beginning to Kimpembe and Lenglet later, Deschamps seems to like to use this kind of central defender who plays in the La Liga!"
"Later, Laporte joined Spain, but he is not in his best form now. I think the first two years when Laporte joined Manchester City were his best time as a central defender!"
Gullit has been responsible for commentating the Premier League in recent years and has seen Laporte's peak moments!
"Then there's Cesar Azpilicueta, who is the most special defender at Chelsea right now because sometimes he plays really well and sometimes he plays really badly.
"As for Gaya, he played a lot of games in Bilbao, but he didn't play in the club's big matches, while Rodri is probably the player who has seen the most big games in the Spanish defense because he comes from Liverpool!"
"The result is that the player who has seen the most big games is not a real defender."
"But it's this line of defense that makes me feel like they are simply indestructible!"
Stam gave a very high evaluation. He was once a top defender, so he has very high requirements for defenders.
But Spain's defense performed flawlessly throughout the first half, especially Rodri's defense of Benzema, which successfully prevented Mbappe from being blocked by Laporte.
Azpilicueta never lost his defense even once against Pavard!
Scholes thinks Deschamps will make adjustments, and he thinks Deschamps will replace Benzema!
"I don't know what the French fans think after watching this game, but if I were playing, I would replace Benzema with Giroud!"
"The two have been discussed by the French fans, but I think in this game, just in terms of the role in this game, Giroud may be more suitable than Benzema."
