Jagged Wings

Chapter 121 Get it done!

Saudi coach Paqueta stared at Spain's lineup with wide eyes. He bet that Spain's current formation has completely overturned any of his perceptions.

虽然外界对于4－4－2、4－2－3－1、4－3－3三个阵型孰优孰劣的讨论甚嚣尘上，但是其实到了实际比赛中，没人会严格遵守这些所谓的“阵型”。他们随着比赛的继续，阵型也是不断变化的。

But the general position and responsibilities of each player can still be seen. After a few minutes of the game, Paqueta looked at Spain's position on the field. It is obvious that Fafa, Iniesta and Albelda are all midfielders. And it's the kind of midfielder who only defends but doesn't attack.At this time, Spain was having a great time attacking the frontcourt, but these three people were hiding behind and making love to each other!
Yes, definitely Qingqing me!Look at the three of them dragging behind, huddled together, that leisurely look!

Compared with the previous game, Spain replaced nine starters in this game.The starting goalkeeper was changed from Casillas to Canizares. The reason why Aragones arranged for the Valencia goalkeeper to appear in the last game is undoubtedly to reward the latter's recent excellent state. In fact, Canizares performed extremely well in Valencia last season; on the other hand, Aragones also wanted to maintain the team's image. The news of the dispute, although the two parties later denied it, but the so-called no wind, no waves, Aragones needs to eliminate the cracks in the team while maintaining the stability and unity of the team.Of course, the third goalkeeper, Reina from Liverpool, has to continue to wait for an opportunity on the bench.

On the defensive line, Salgado will replace Real Madrid teammate Ramos at the right back position. Salgado is also one of the most complained players in the team; Antonio Lopez is back from Pernia The starting position at left back; the two substitute central defenders Juanito and Marchena also ushered in their own opportunities, and Puyol, who has a yellow card, can just rest.

In the midfield, Valencia captain Albelda took back the position of the main midfielder that he suddenly lost before the group stage.On the back, there are Xiaofa and Iniesta to accompany him.

In terms of formation, Aragones still designed 433. On the front line, Joaquin will appear on the right winger, while Reyes will move on the left side and look for opportunities to cut inside. Raul will serve as the arrow, but He would swap places with each other.Judging from the lineup, among the starting 11 players, only Joaquin was the team's main force in the first two games. Therefore, Aragones despised Saudi Arabia to the fullest.

Although there are three defensive midfielders in the midfield, Spain is not conservative in this game. In addition to the front trident Reyes, Raul and Joaquin, the two full backs Salgado and Lopez also assist in the front. field.This caused Spain to attack a lot on the side, while the attack in the center was paralyzed.

Raul is obviously not a standing center, he is always running around in the penalty area, looking for space.But in the Saudi penalty area defended by nine men, the space is squeezed narrow.Even if there was a vacancy, it was quickly made up.

Saudi Arabia seems to have decided to defend to the end. Their defense is not for counterattack, but for defense.Saudi Arabia, which has not won three World Cups, is really afraid of losing. They are afraid that there will be another large-scale defeat, and they will not even have a fig leaf...

The Saudi head coach Brazilian Paqueta carefully prepared a 5-3-2 defensive counterattack formation for Spain this time. The five defenders showed their determination to defend to the end, while the two forwards were ready to bite Spain at any time.Spain's offense is very good, but the defense is not good.

But the three midfielders in Spain made Paqueta a little confused. He understood that these three players were unshakeable and would never grab or assist.Even sometimes when there is a corner kick, the two Spanish defenders go up to fight for the header, and the three midfielders don't go up.He didn't even bother to look at you when you fell down in your own half or even played well, but as long as you took the ball into their half, the three midfielders immediately changed from sheep to wolves.

Why is this?

Paqueta cast his eyes on the bench on the other side. The old coach Aragones was chatting leisurely with the assistant coach. Noticing Paqueta's eyes, Aragones even greeted him from a distance!

This old guy!There must be a conspiracy!There must be tricks!

What is the conspiracy?Paqueta walked to the sidelines and squinted to see the situation on the field.

Reyes was very active this time, and almost all of Spain's opportunities were related to him.First of all, he succeeded in counter-stealing the ball on the left side of the frontcourt. After cooperating with Raul, he crossed the ball to the center. One minute later, Joaquin passed a far point near the bottom line on the right side of the frontcourt. Reyes made a dunk from the left side of the penalty area to the inside line, and then shot a low shot with his right foot at an average angle and strength, which was suppressed by Zayed's side throw.Another time Reyes took the ball and shot himself, but the football was high.

The Saudi players in the iron barrel formation were passed by him like wooden stakes.

However, because Spain's offense is all on the side, Spain's full-backs and full-backs are crowded together, and Saudi Arabia's defensive players are all crowded in these two small spaces on the side, making the side more blocked than ever before. It is the Spanish players who have good skills, but there is no room for them to display them.

They had no choice but to put pressure on Saudi Arabia by switching from left to right in a wide range, or taking long shots from outside the penalty area.In the entire first half alone, Spain had 36 shot opportunities and stormed around the Saudi Arabian players.After all, Saudi Arabian players are not iron-clad, they are human beings, and they may make mistakes. In the [-]th minute of the first half, Reyes took a free kick from the left, and central defender Juanito competed for the spot in the penalty area. The ball headed into the goal, giving Spain the lead.

Of course, this ball doesn't mean much.Saudi Arabia knows that there is a big gap between themselves and Spain, so they still hold the mentality of defending to resist the opponent's onslaught.

The first half of the game ended under the onslaught of Spain. Saudi Arabia was very satisfied with only one goal lost; Spain, which only scored one goal, was not very depressed.

Those who were waiting to see Reyes' jokes were also a little depressed. Reyes had an assist and scored. If he was slandered after the game, it would be hard to say. Let's just watch the second half.

In the second half of the game, Spain continued to attack.

Lopez came in from behind and wanted to play with Reyes, but Reyes stopped the ball, looked at it, and chose to shoot hard.

Lopez, who ran empty, raised his hand and acted very angry.

A few minutes later, Reyes ran to the front of the penalty area and cooperated with Raul. Raul was too tightly marked by the opponent, while Lopez was unmarked on the baseline, but Reyes knocked the ball to Joaquin on the right. underfoot.

The next moment, Lopez dribbled the ball to the bottom, and Reyes ran to his vicinity to meet him, but Lopez didn't even look at Reyes, and directly kicked the ball and passed it.

"Pass the ball! Pass the ball!" Across the Saudi defenders, Reyes spread his hands towards Lopez with a dissatisfied expression: My position is better!

Spain's attack went to the left again, this time Reyes and Lopez crossed positions, Lopez ran into the penalty area, and Reyes pulled to the side to break through.Lopez leaned against the guard and reached for the ball.

Reyes used him as a pick-and-roll tool, dribbling the ball by himself.But after passing two people, the football was shoveled out of the bottom line by the third person.

Now Lopez got angry, and he ran over to Reyes and cursed loudly.

Reyes is not a fuel-efficient lamp, rushing up to take Lopez on the head.

For a moment, the two of them became the focus of the field.

"Look, look, there's strife in Spain!"
