Godfather of national football

Chapter 367 Fighting Spain ([-])

Pedro was ready, but Bosque hesitated. The six players in Spain's midfield were Busquets, Xavi, Alonso, Iniesta, Diego Costa, and Silva. It seemed that no one was suitable to be replaced.

"coach?"

Bosque reacted, "Wait, wait for the next dead ball opportunity."

Del Bosque knows that the philosophy of Spanish football is fine. He has succeeded for so many years, but after taking the lead, the Chinese team is very firm. Pedro is a speed player, leaving little room for him to attack.

"How to do?"

Now is the time to test a football head coach, to overthrow his past achievements, make changes, or stick to his old ways.

Li Guo saw Pedro walking to the sidelines, he should be about to play, but after a while, he went back to the bench.

"It seems that the old man hesitated."

Li Guo remembered that in his previous life, someone summed up Spain's failure in Brazil, because Bosque was old, and people might become timid when they get old.

With 2 goals in hand, the Chinese team set up an iron bucket formation and single-mindedly defended their advantage until the end of the first half.

Spain began to try long-range shooting from the outside. Alonso's long-range shooting skills are very strong. Several shots were within the range of the goal frame, but the angle was a little more straight, and Wang Dalei was not threatened.

Li Guo knew that it would be dangerous to let Alonso kick in front of the penalty area, so he waved: "Fonso, go up and block Alonso's shot."

Fang Suo sacrificed himself to block the eye-catching, and Alonso's long-range shooting accuracy dropped a lot. After all, when someone shovels in front of him, people instinctively hide.

It was Spain's last effort in the first half - a long shot.But Spain failed to pull back a goal. At the end of the first half, when the Spanish players walked off the field, the fans booed loudly.

The camera returns to Spain, in the square in the center of Madrid, the fans are like having a nightmare for 45 minutes, how could this happen?How can Spanish football play like this?
They thought that the first game was a small difficulty, just like last time, but they never expected that the team is now on the verge of being eliminated.

But the problem is, no one knows what's wrong, it's the familiar formula, the familiar taste, the Spanish team's ball possession is far ahead, and the opponent's midfielder is still suppressed, but why is the result different?
The major media in Spain are also dumbfounded. The reporters are calling, hoping that famous football players, such as former Spanish international Raul and Hierro, can come out and say a few words. Media reporters dare not speak lightly, which may cause public anger.

It's like Chinese football, if the police come out to spray, everyone has no objection, if a small reporter sprays, it's hard to say.Many fans will ask, who the hell are you?

Hierro said on Twitter, change quickly, or it will be too late, Fabregas and Pedro together, don't hesitate.

It's a pity that Bosque couldn't hear Hierro's opinion at this time. He was in the locker room, facing a group of bewildered players.

"Children, what's the matter with you? The opponent is the Chinese team, not the Brazilian team."

"Coach, we were careless. The Chinese team's defensive counterattack was too fast, and they were lucky today." Harvey said.

Bosque nodded, "Luck is a part of football, but again, they are the Chinese team."

The players thought, "What happened to the Chinese team? Didn't we still get eliminated by the Korean team in 2002? Asian football will also develop."

Bosque didn't have time to talk nonsense, he pointed to Pedro and Xiaofa, "You two go in the second half."

Who should replace?Needless to say, Alonso and Harvey looked at each other, tacit understanding.

Bosque remembered that Guardiola used 4141 formation at Bayern, which was not bad. "In the second half, we changed to 4141, strengthened the two sides, passed the ball to Diego, and let him smash it himself."

Costa was very happy when he heard it. This is the way of playing in the Premier League. He likes it very much. He is not a standing center, he is a bombing center.

Then Bosque made a lot of deployments, such as reducing unnecessary passes, crosses, etc., as little as possible, and strengthening through balls, especially the ribs.

"Children, you are Spanish internationals. I don't think I need to tell you how to play football, but what I need to tell you is that Spain cannot be eliminated. We need at least one point."

Now Bosque doesn't dare to say three-pointers, let's take a step and see.

*****
At the same time, during the intermission in China, the media turned high.

Zhang Bin joked: "Liu Yuxi, why are you wearing the opponent's jersey, but the Chinese team played as easily as cutting melons and vegetables?"

"It's disgusting, Mr. Bin, what do you mean by that?"

"Why don't you just wear the opponent's jersey as long as it's the Chinese team's game in the future."

"Teacher Bin, you are bullying people."

Anyway, I am happy, I can do whatever I want on the show, and the audience is also very cooperative. I laughed. Everyone’s most daring imagination before the game was 0-0.

I didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly. Of course, there are also some unhappy people. That is, most of the lottery ticket buyers bought Spain to win. Now it seems that the lottery tickets in their hands are likely to become waste paper.

In the locker room of the Chinese team, Li Guo had no idea what happened outside, but he could probably guess it.

"Children, in the second half, we can stick to defense and counterattack. We don't have to be afraid of running out of stamina. It's no good. I can just replace you, so you fight for me."

"Is there any new tactics?" Mu Fei asked.

Li Guo said with a smile: "The tactics in the first half worked very well, why do we need new tactics?"

Mu Fei said: "Spain has so many strong players on the bench, it's impossible to sit and wait for death. For example, Pedro, I saw him running out in the first half."

Li Guo praised Mu Fei, "Yes, Spain will definitely work hard in the second half, and you will be hit more brutally, but I think for Spain, our insistence on defensive counterattack is the best tactic. After all, we are not Spain's opponents in midfield, and their control is still top-notch."

"Remember children, within our 30-meter defense zone, don't let the opponent take the ball comfortably. Once halftime, let the opponent take the ball casually, and we don't care."

"understood!"

As soon as the second half came out, I saw Cesc Fabregas and Pedro standing on the sidelines of the court. The Chinese players all took a look. These two are better than those old guys on the court. It seems that they will work harder in the second half.
