Godfather of national football

Chapter 157 Warm-up match ([-])

After the opening, it was Spain who first created a chance.

After a tiki-taka cooperation, Pedro, Villa, and Iniesta all touched the ball with one foot. When pushing the ball to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area, Villa turned around and shot the ball high.

In this attack, the Chinese players had no chance to touch the ball at all, including the goalkeeper Wang Dalei. This is a typical Barcelona-style attack.

"What a perfect triangle," Allardyce said.

"Perfect?"

After Allardyce explained, Li Guo noticed that when the three Spanish players formed a small cooperation just now, the three players were basically in an equilateral triangle.

"Unbelievable," Li Guo thought to himself.

After 5 minutes of the game, the players of the Chinese team knew that Spain was playing for real today, and there was no intention of a warm-up match at all. The players ran very actively, because Spain's gorgeous style of play was actually achieved by running!

This is similar to Manchester United's off-the-ball running system. In fact, 80% of the credit for each attack comes from players running without the ball.

Soon, the Spanish attack came again, this time it was Harvey.

Unlike other players, Xavi is known as the brain on the field. He is the brain of Barcelona and the brain of Spain.

There are too many tricks available in Harvey's arsenal, one of which is his unique scalpel pass.

Harvey dribbled the ball in front of the penalty area and sent a direct pass without observation. The ball found the defensive space of Geng Chong and Yin Di on the left side of the Chinese team and passed it in a narrow area.

A good direct pass is generally said to be penetrating, and Harvey's kick is very penetrating.

Yin Di was circled by the ball. At first, he thought he could reach the ball, but soon realized that he was wrong, and then ran after the ball.

Zhou Dun on the side knew that Yin Di was hopeless, so he made up for himself. Zhou Dun estimated that Calabash Villa would fake a shot and make a real dunk, so he didn't dare to tackle the ball rashly.

A good defender's defense depends on consciousness. Zhou Dun guessed it right. Villa really kicked his right foot and then shot with his left foot.

The ball hit Zhou Dun and rolled out of the baseline, and the fans in the audience sighed. This game was fun to watch, and the offensive rhythm was very fast.

*****
Li Weifeng and Fang Suo feel like idiots. They are the double midfielders of the Chinese team, and it stands to reason that they are the most important barrier in front of the defense.

However, the Spanish players bypassed the Chinese team's defensive barrier with precise passes, which made the Chinese team's double midfielders run around on the court.

Fonso kicked a lot of people in Scotland, but he didn't even have a chance to kick people in this game. The Spanish players didn't stop the ball at all, especially in the midfield, they all touched the ball with one foot.

Before the Spanish midfielder changed positions frequently, Li Weifeng's mind was a little confused, and he finally made up his mind to choose the most famous defense.

The Chinese team's double defensive midfielder took Iniesta as the number one target. Li Weifeng and Fang Suo slowly approached Iniesta.

Xiaobai has also noticed this. Usually in the Champions League and La Liga, he must be the focus of the opponent's defensive players.

After Iniesta took the ball and rushed forward, Li Weifeng and Fang Suo pounced on one left and one right. The distance between the two sides was more than 10 meters. Xiaobai had very little room to choose. Seeing that the Chinese team's defense was about to succeed this time.

I saw that Iniesta touched the ball with his left foot, followed by his right foot, and quickly passed through the goal formed by Li Weifeng and Fang Suo with two movements.

Fried meatballs!

The on-site commentator shouted excitedly, this move is Iniesta's forte, and it also attracted applause from the stands.

Even the bench players of the Chinese team were overwhelmed by Iniesta's graceful movements, but no one stood up and applauded.

Fang Suo and Li Weifeng were stunned for a moment, and then quickly chased back. After Iniesta passed the opponent, he split the side with one kick, and Spain's attack unfolded smoothly.

After Pedro took the ball, he faced Geng Chong. Perhaps because of his contempt, Pedro did not choose a fake move, but chose to rush.

Geng Chong's speed was very fast, within 10 meters, Pedro did not get rid of Geng Chong, and after another 10 meters, Pedro still did not get rid of Geng Chong.

At this moment, Saber realized that he had underestimated Geng Chong, and slammed on the brakes under his feet, and Geng Chong couldn't keep up.

Defending Pedro, Geng Chong had already exerted 100% of his strength, so when Pedro braked suddenly, Geng Chong had no ability to follow.

Pedro looked at Villa after cutting, and then passed the ball to Busquets. The kick was very stealth. Busquets happened to be unguarded. Professor Bou pushed the ball vigorously with his arch and the ball flew to the lower left corner of the goal.

Wang Dalei tried his best to pounce, but the speed of the ball was too fast. Before Wang Dalei's saving action was fully stretched, the ball had already been scored.

Spain leads 1-0!

Cheers erupted at the Bernabeu, with fans waving Spanish national team scarves in celebration of the goal.

The players on the Spanish bench also stood up and clapped their hands to celebrate. Xiaofa, Keylor Navas, anyone on the Spanish bench would envy the coaches of other teams.

The Chinese team is a little lonely, but the opponent is Spain, a master of the invincible pass and control style of football in today's football. Facing such an opponent, conceding the ball should be certain.

Li Guo can accept conceding the ball, but he can't accept his players being walked like fools. Li Guo has been clapping his hands to encourage his players, and then made a substitution, replacing Geng Chong with Qu Bo, and Sun Jihai retreated to the full-back position.

Li Guo's idea is to control violence with violence, and to fight fast with speed. Since Pedro from Spain is fast, I will replace him with Qu Bo, who is faster.

Li Guo didn't know if his thoughts were a little naive, but Allardyce was like a roundworm in Li Guo's stomach, and said at the right time: "This method is good."

"Do you think Qu Bo can hold down Spain's right flank?"

"I didn't say that, I just thought it was possible."

*****
The game was kicked off again, Spain slowed down the attacking rhythm, and the Chinese players could also take a breather. At this moment, Alonso hanged the goal just after passing the middle circle. The ball was very fast and flew towards the goal.

Li Guo thought to himself: "Damn, is Spain going to try all eighteen martial arts on the Chinese team?"

When Alonso was in the Premier League, he staged a great show of hanging the goal in midfield. He has such a footwork. The ball flew to the goal. Wang Dalei was caught off guard. His position was obviously forward.

When the ball was about to fly into the goal, Wang Dalei broke free from gravity, jumped up and dragged the ball out of the baseline with a single palm.

Zhou Dun and Yin Di went up and patted Wang Dalei vigorously, "Little Fatty, well done."

Wang Dalei chuckled and patted his head, "I don't know how I was able to jump so high just now."
