Chapter 699
"I really don't know what Hierro wanted Lin to do, but the most likely thing is that he wanted Lin to try and shoot straight, and then he believed that Lin would always score."
"But is this idea correct? Is this something that Hierro, who is very strong and has won many championships, would come up with?"
Gullit and others discussed it for a long time, and in the end they only came to this conclusion.
But this result sounds ridiculous because Hierro would never do that, and no coach would ever do that, let a player keep shooting until he can score?
Is this still football?
Is this a tactic?
Spanish fans couldn't imagine what Hierro was going to do, but looking at Lin Chen who kept shooting and Lori who made saves again and again, Spain scored six goals in just 30 minutes in the second half!
“So the French team still doesn’t plan to completely block Lin Chen’s shooting space, but let Lori continue to save like this.”
"Although Lori's save was indeed outstanding, shouldn't you have given him some time to breathe?"
"Also, Spain's corner kick tactics are terrible. They haven't created a single goal from so many corner kicks. What are they doing with corner kicks? They might as well just give up!"
Hierro has told all the Spanish players the tactics. Now the Spanish players don’t have to do anything. All they need to do is let Lin Chen shoot!
Every time Lin Chen shot, France's head coach Deschamps would subconsciously scratch his chin with his hand in his seat.
And his strength is getting stronger and stronger, as if he wants to provide some help to Lori in this way so that Lori can save the ball better!
The 67th minute of the game!
"Now the French team still doesn't rely on numbers to block Lin Chen in the midfield. No matter who is next to Lin Chen, Kante or Pogba, they will try their best to block some of Lin Chen's shooting space, but they can't completely stop Lin Chen from shooting!"
"But at least doing this can provide some help to Lori, even if it's just a little bit, it can make Lori's saves a little easier!"
Pedri is now the receiving point for Spain's entire backcourt. Laporte and Rodri will pass the ball to Pedri's feet, and then Pedri will start to transfer the ball to the wing.
If the ball is to be passed to Sarabia, it will be passed to his feet. If it is passed to Ferran Torres, it will give him some lead time. The two flanks of Spain have completely different playing styles, which are completely opposite to the French team!
Once the French team started attacking from the flanks, both flanks rushed forward at high speed!
But Spain's defense in this game was really good, just as Stam praised!
In the 76th minute of the game, as Lin Chen's shot was saved by Lori again, the French team skillfully returned to the penalty area and began to prepare to defend the corner kick!
"The French team seemed to know what they were going to do next. They let Lin Chen shoot first, as if they were condoning him to waste opportunities."
"Then they immediately defend the corner, block another Spanish attack and then see if they can create a chance for Benzema or Giroud."
"Both sides simplified this Champions League semi-final and played it very simply, which was different from the first half!"
Scholes saw that Deschamps understood Hierro's tactics, and Deschamps believed that Hierro wanted Lin Chen to dominate this semi-final.
So he is willing to accept Spain's amateur attack, and then let the French team find opportunities after Spain completes this amateur attack.
As long as Giroud and Mbappe can cooperate one more time, the French team will be able to overtake Spain, then successfully use up the remaining time, and finally defeat Spain and advance to the European Cup final!
The 81th minute of the game!
