Chapter 149 The Dejected Bosque
Chapter 149 The Dejected Bosque
Looking at the Belgian players who were celebrating their goals on the court, Bosque on the sidelines couldn't help but look blank. His pre-match plans, strategies, etc., have all become empty sighs up to now.
Although there is still half time left in the game, judging from the ten minutes after the start of the second half, Spain is completely hopeless. The Belgian's quick counterattack and simple style of play make the Spanish team helpless.
The most deadly thing is that the Belgian team's fierce defense made the Spanish team's two core Xavi and Iniesta completely useless. The reason why Spanish football has been touted by countless people in recent years is regarded as artistic football and beautiful football. , Inseparable from the excellent performance of Harvey and Iniesta.
But today Harvey and Iniesta's control over the midfield completely collapsed. They couldn't even complete the turn when they got the ball.
Bosque looked to the other side. Antiiens was high-fiving his coaching staff. Bosque couldn't help but think of what Antiiens said in the press conference before the game: "Spain is against the game. The tempo control was brilliant, but our mentality was strong and we will prove that again today."
Bosque originally looked down on Antiiennis' football, but through most of the game, he has already seen that Antiiennis not only tailors his tactics according to his own situation, but also prescribes the right medicine for the enemy's situation. The tactical design and on-the-spot command are very clever.
First of all, Antiiennis formed a "433 formation" when attacking, leaving Lukaku alone as the striker. It was a "4411 formation", and Digan also came back to defend, leaving only Lukaku in front.
Such a show of weakness not only has the intention of manipulating the enemy, but also has the effect of urging the generals to correct their mentality and strengthen their determination to use the weak to fight the strong.
Increasing the defensive density in the center is obviously aimed at Spain's strong penetrating ability to control the ball, and to induce opponents to increase their offensive strength when it is difficult to infiltrate, so as to expose the subsequent air defense.
Secondly, Antiiennis did not invest much force in the offense, and mostly used accurate long passes to find the forward attackers of his team and hit the opponent's back.
Digan's goal to break the deadlock, and Lukaku's second goal to expand the score advantage were both good opportunities to score with a long pass.
With such a fast attack-defense conversion speed, the "Matador" has no time to retreat, so it can create a large space in the opponent's defense, and Digan and Hazard's personal abilities can completely kill the opponent.
Bosque now has to say "convince" in his heart. Antiiennis' understanding and judgment of the game mode, the methods he should adopt for positional warfare and counterattacks are all very unique.
In today's game, Belgium relied on its extremely high offensive and defensive conversion speed to counterattack Spain with a long pass. It was only because of their housekeeping skills that the European Red Devils broke the Spanish Matador's ball-controlling style of play with defensive counterattacks on the field today.
Simple and complicated, speed breaks the short pass!
The philosophy of Belgian football is safety first. Specifically, the defenders line up with four players, plus three defensive midfielders to form a strong breakwater.
Although the Belgian defense line does not have the superstars like Nesta and Cannavaro back then, they have joined forces to form an iron barrel formation that is difficult to break through.
On the basis of a solid defense, the Belgian is not conservative at all. Digan and Hazard have repeatedly advanced rapidly from the two wings. Fellaini has played an excellent scheduling role in the midfield. Ability and team support to kill on the front lines.
This style of play is overcoming Spain's short pass control. The Belgian's siege of up to seven people inside and outside his penalty area makes the matadors breathless, and the short pass cooperation is completely difficult to achieve.
The Belgians use simplicity to smash the complexity of Spain!
Bosque still hasn't figured it out yet, how could his advanced style of play be defeated by the Belgian's sudden return to ancient times?
In fact, there is nothing difficult to understand. The possession of the ball itself is a tactic that requires very high technical requirements for the players. If you have many masters of the ball, then the possession rate is very important.
The problem is that when players do not have a strong ability to control the ball, it is easy to go wrong. Fortunately, many technical geniuses have emerged in Spanish football, and Spanish football has taken this ball-controlling style of play to the extreme. .
But when the Belgian deliberately releases possession, only requires the players to hold the position, and then cooperates with a clear counterattack, the ultimate pass and control will not be useful.
The Belgian did very well today. Facing the opponent's cumbersome tactics, the Belgian knows that the best way to break through is to cut the mess quickly!
Looking at the ball possession rate of the two teams so far, the Spanish team once occupied 70% of the ball possession, but so what?
Football is not about ball possession, but more goals!
And in the second half, the Spaniard didn't even have possession of the ball!
When Belgium's defense became more aggressive, the Spaniard was left struggling!
When the game time came to the 73rd minute, a goal that sealed the victory came. Degan, who retreated to the midfield, penetrated the entire defense line of the opponent with a straight kick, giving Hazard an advantage in speed got full play.
Casillas tried his best to block it, but unfortunately, God bless him!
Hazard's light kick shot, the football flew over Casillas' head, and then fell directly into the king of the ball, everything seemed so easy!
Faced with a 0:3 deficit, Bosque could only sit slumped on the coach's bench, holding his chin and staring blankly.
The Belgian players on the court didn't even look excited. They just gave a simple high five, then hugged each other, and then turned around to wait for the Spanish team to kick off.
When did the Belgian team become so strong! ?
Facing their opponents in the 2008 European Cup final, the Belgian players couldn't detect the slightest bit of tension on their faces, and they relaxed as if they were in a very ordinary team training game.
The fans who were cheering for the Spanish team in the stands just now also died down, and some fans even started to leave the field. They really couldn't accept that their beloved team was in such a mess.
