Chapter 468 Quite Passive
What makes Spain unique in the world is their strong ball control ability.Del Bosque sent out a 4-6-0 formation today, the midfield three were Alonso, Harvey and Busquets, while the front three were Iniesta, Fabregas and David Silva.

There is not a real center among the six players in the midfield, which is unique in previous games.

Andy on the sidelines couldn't help but think of what Ferguson said in an interview after the 08 Champions League final.

"The future trend of football is the diversification of players and the blurring of positions. Maybe in the near future, we can see formations like 4-6-0."

Within a few years of the results, Ferguson's prophecy came true.

Compared with Spain's powerful midfielder, the German team lost slightly.

Piggy and Khedira are double defensive midfielders, Ozil is in the 10th position, Kaiser and Muller are on both sides of the division, and the center is still Gomez.

The German team sent the team's strongest lineup, and everyone came here with the belief that they must win.In contrast, in Spain, everyone's face is full of relief. Even the young Alba is chewing gum nonchalantly and looking around.

Winning the championship in two consecutive international competitions has given Spanish players equal honor, which has given them the calmness to deal with things calmly.

Compared with them, the players of the German team seemed a little nervous.

This was evident after the start of the game.

"The game started for 5 minutes! Spain has been controlling the situation on the field! The German team is slightly passive! The midfielder is at an absolute disadvantage!"

Yan Keer is a little anxious. Among all the media people, he is probably the one who wants to win the most.

After the humiliation of 08, he couldn't wait to retaliate and let the Spaniards also taste the bitterness of failure.

However, in this game, Bosque obviously changed his tactics. Spain seemed a bit old-fashioned in the first few games. Although they had an absolute advantage, they were not passionate at all.

As a result, today, Bosque gave the team an order to speed up. Everyone must find their own point of release before receiving the ball, and then release the ball with one kick.

Especially Harvey, Xiaobai, and Alba who attacked from the left. The three of them hit one from the left, one from the right, and used either pass or speed, which hardly gave the Germans a chance to react.

Muller was responsible for defending the right-sided area, and Alba and David Silva frequently inserted assists, completely suppressing Muller in his own half.

"Alba is making great strides on the left! In this cup, Alba's progress is very obvious, and he has the potential to compete for a world-class full-back! His speed makes Muller difficult to parry!"

Alba is a fairly aggressive defender who prefers attacking to defending.

Just a few days ago, Barcelona's official website announced that Alba transferred to the team for 1400 million euros and signed a five-year contract.This news is actually not surprising. After all, Alba is a product of La Masia's youth training. After wandering abroad for several years, if he performs well, he will naturally be able to return to his hometown.

I don't know if it's because he returned to Barcelona and wanted to perform well, Alba seemed very excited.In the first 5 minutes of the game, he stayed in the frontcourt of the German team, trying to use his speed advantage to kill the opponent.

"Alba and Silva hit the wall! Silva catches the ball and passes it with his heel! Alba breaks through Boateng's defense!"

Boateng is tall and big, and his speed is not slow. Turning around is quite flexible for a big man.

However, facing a player of Alba's stature, his flexibility is not worth mentioning.

"Alba made an inverted triangle pass! Fabregas followed up with a burst shot!"

Neuer was very focused and hit the ball with both fists.

"Xavi receives the ball on the outside! Give it to Iniesta!"

Facing Lahm's defense, Xiaobai didn't dare to be careless. He didn't try to break through, but gave the ball to Fabregas who came out to meet him.

In Barcelona, ​​Fabregas' front tactic was not successful, and in Spain, Del Bosque boldly used this tactic when no one was available.

Villa was unable to catch up with this cup due to injury, and Torres was in a mediocre state. Bosque struggled for a long time and put him on the bench.

Therefore, Fabregas became the only choice.

But in the first 5 minutes of the game, the effect was not bad.

Fabregas was not obsessed with the penalty area. Instead, following Bosque's instructions, he took the initiative to pull out the German team's penalty area, and then used the team's non-stop midfielder to attack the German team's goal.

Just like now, Xiaobai gave the ball to Fabregas who dropped back to respond, and David Silva had bypassed Boateng and slipped into the penalty area.

"Here!" Harvey asked for the ball, Xiaofa immediately passed it, Harvey didn't even look at it, and transferred the ball behind Hummels.

"Silva goes in! Neuer strikes!"

It's Neuer again!
He had already seen the sneaky David Silva, and before he had time to remind his teammates, he rushed out of the small penalty area and punched the ball.

"Neuer's attack range is very wide. To deal with Spain, the German team needs such a goalkeeper." Kahn nodded and said, but Sauer was worried. He said: "Spain has the advantage now. If the German team does not find a way to deal with the opponent as soon as possible, I am afraid it will not last long."

Spain's offensive was very fast and the pass was fast and accurate, so that the German team didn't even have the intention to counterattack, and all members retreated.

Isn't it the same as the German team against Italy in the semi-finals if they continue to defend passively like this?
It's just that the German team played the role of Italy today.

Love thought of this too, walking up and down the sidelines, looking at the court rather anxiously.

Xavi catches the ball, gives it to Alonso, and Gomez chases it.

Alonso gave Busquets again, dodged the impact of Gomez, and Muller came to make up for it, but Alba was missed.

"Alba dribbles the ball in at high speed! Schweinsteiger comes to defend! Alba goes to the center! Xavi is empty! Xavi controls the ball calmly! Hit the goal from outside the penalty area!"

Fortunately, Neuer's position is very good, and Harvey's shooting power is not strong, so he holds the ball firmly in his arms.

"Control the ball! Do you still want to win?!" Neuer couldn't help yelling at the frontcourt players, but the frontcourt players were helpless. The opponent's Alonso, Harvey, and Busquets were very flexible. They used running and ball possession to disrupt the German team's pressing plan, causing the team to start moving from the midfield.

Loew buttoned his nose and looked up at the time. The game had come to the 15th minute, but the German team didn't even hit the goal.

"Tell the players, we are going to start Plan B." Loew said to Flick, who looked confused: "What is Plan B?"

"I just figured it out."
