Chapter 150 Let's take back what we lost
When football rolled into the Spanish team's goal for the third time, there was basically no suspense in the game.
3:0!
Bosk sat on the coach's bench with a gray face, and his eyes were full of despair. This is his elaborate super Spanish team!
However, in front of the Belgian team, he was unable to fight back and was beaten without a temper at all. Although Bosk had expected that the game would be very difficult to play before the game, he was beaten to death by Belgium with no room for resistance, which was completely beyond his expectation.
There are still more than ten minutes left in the game, but looking at the form on the court at this moment, there is no hope for the game, and the Spanish team is completely stunned.
What is this?
The collapse of art football?
Is the Spaniard, who has always been arrogant about playing the most beautiful football in the world, so vulnerable in front of wild and crude Belgians?
Bosc's heart died, and the Spanish commentator read the eulogy with red eyes: "It's so sad! Did art football, beautiful football and sexy football die like this? Obviously playing more advanced football, but there is no way to go further on the stage of the World Cup. In addition to sadness, there is nothing left. The football is dead. The advanced football has been defeated by the backward football again. What an irony!"
The Spanish commentator is still saying that no one will care about advanced football? Backward football?
Is Belgium's football lagging behind?
Of course not. At least in the second half of today's game, the Belgian team completely controlled the situation on the field. The Spanish team's pass control method could not play at all. Even in the second half, Belgium's possession time exceeded 60%, completely overwhelming the Spanish team.
Can it be said that Belgian football is lagging behind?
And the Belgian team plays more aggressively and proactively on the court. The style of football makes people can't help but boil. Is this kind of football still lagging behind?
This is just a Spanish deception!
The Spanish fans in the stands made bursts of boos. Of course, these boos were not for the Belgian team. In this game, the Belgian team had no negative defense from beginning to end. They have been attacking.
The boos of Spanish fans are all about their own national team, to the Spanish team that is full of expectations but ultimately disappointing them.
"The next game is meaningless!" Compared with their Spanish counterparts, the Belgian commentator is much easier. "I can congratulate the Belgian team now. It is the second time in the history of the European Red Devils to reach the final of the World Cup. As Rod said before the game, no one can stop us, except ourselves, very good! Today, Belgium defeated itself again. After defeating Spain in the European Cup final two years ago and successfully winning the cup, Belgium once again defeated Spain, its old opponent, and advanced to the final. In the final, they will face the Dutch team led by Van Malvik!"
Before the game is over, the Belgians have begun to look forward to their finals, and the opponent in front of them is no longer a threat.
Football is developing, and each team is doing its best to change itself to adapt to this ever-changing football environment. The Netherlands took the initiative to change, so they defeated the two World Cup winner Argentina, Italy and France and refused to change. As a result, the group stage one When it was over, I went back home.
Although Spain has come to this day, it also refused to change and clung to the control method. As a result, it was beaten by Belgium, which took the initiative to change.
At the beginning of the game, Spain still hoped to rely on their skillful cooperation to control the rhythm of the game, while Belgium changed its previous style of play. It was very oppressive. Every player was very active in fighting, and played behind Spain as soon as they had the opportunity, and the playing style was quite effective. .
But it is undeniable that Spain fell behind in the first half, but still has a slight advantage in some details. Iniesta is still the core of Spain. He controls the situation of the game. Although the Belgian team's rush is very fierce, the Spanish team is not completely free of chance.
As a result, the Spaniard, who thought he had found a way to restrain Belgium, was a little relaxed next. Isn't it ridiculous? When he was behind, he actually played relaxed?
The running also became very active. Probably they felt that they could pass the ball into the goal of the Belgian team by constantly passing the ball. As a result, this gave the Belgians a chance, and the Belgians did hit a high-level counterattack. The second goal of the European Red Devils was a two- or three-legged pass, and the ball passed accurately, Degan The pass is beautiful, and Lukaku is also beautiful, but the ball is not in his position for San Cassi, which led to Belgium's expansion of the lead. This ball can be said to be a big factor in the goalkeeper's mistake, especially for the goalkeeper with the title of San Cassi, which is also a big blow, which is also for Casillas's performance behind was foreshadowed.
After missing the 2006 World Cup, Spanish football did shine for a while. Although they failed to pretend to be champions like in their previous lives, their beautiful playing style has been praised as synonymous with advanced football by countless media and so-called experts. All signs are showing that Spanish football is Will reach the peak.
However, before reaching the peak, Spanish football suddenly declined. It is not too much to describe it as a defeat. It is extremely prosperous and must decline, but Spanish football died halfway before it really became strong.
Before the start of the World Cup, it was pointed out that Spain's state was worrying. Sure enough, Spain lost 0:1 to Europe's second-rate Switzerland in the first game.
Although the Spanish team sang all the way to the semi-finals in the next game, they were scored by Degan in the first ten minutes against their old enemy Belgium.
This ball is decisive, because according to Spain's previous routine, they will slow down and play Tai Chi with their opponents at the beginning of the game. In the first ten minutes, it seems that it is true. If according to the Spanish script, when they feel that the heat is about the same, they will suddenly accelerate. Smoke goes out in the ashes.
However, it fell behind at the beginning, which made Spain take the initiative to lift the rhythm, and the fast pace was not Spanish style, but fell into the trap of Belgium.
Belgium fought back in the Spanish midfield, causing Spain to be in chaos. By besieging the Spanish midfield, the rhythm of the game was firmly in his own hands.
In the game, even young people like Hazard, who appeared on the world stage for the first time, took the initiative to return to the backcourt to fight back, not to mention muscular men such as Digan and Lukaku.
When Harvey was robbed and couldn't turn around, and when Iniesta was surrounded and struggling, Spain had lost the source of its attack, and it was futile for Villa to run in the front court.
Harvey must miss Alonso very much at this time. Although Harvey doesn't like to partner with Alonso, he must miss his days at this time.
Alonso not only has fierce defensive interception ability, but also has an accurate long pass scheduling. He is the best partner around Harvey, but today Alonso is not on the court. Spain's midfielder has only a defensive midfielder, and Iniesta and Harvey do not have the ability to intercept, although they have counterattack skills. Bottom. The midfield of the three partners is actually out of balance, because the defense can't keep up, and when the attack is contained, Spain's so-called most powerful midfielder becomes a pile of scrap metal.
The so-called seven-inch snake fight, the Belgian team tightly grasped Spain's seven-inch today, and hit Spain until there is no place to die, which is no exaggeration. Spain was very passive throughout the game, and Pujol, Pic, Ramos and others were frequently embarrassed by Digan.
In the previous quarter-finals, Paraguay also fought fiercely and did not win in the end, while Belgium won a big victory because they did better in the attack.
The Belgian team's game is very simple, that is, to fight back quickly, using the player's personal ability to hit behind Spain, and fighting crazily like a hungry wolf in the midfield. Once they get the ball, they will advance like lightning. Through a few simple passes and even a long pass, Degan and Lukaku have already killed In front of Casillas's door, such a counterattack was even a little unreasonable.
This is actually a thick and fine European Red Devils Legion. In people's impression, Belgium with Degan should play more delicately, and there is a good cooperation between players and players.
However, this European Red Devils Legion lacks some group matches. In the complex and dazzling cooperation in the face of Nigeria and South Korea, it is simpler, more direct and more deadly. There is no extra tape and inversion, but the player's ability can be brought into full play.
The biggest feature of European football is discipline and integrity. Teamwork and tactical discipline are the most important. In this game, the Belgian team closely combines personal technology and team discipline to form a strong fist, so that the Spaniards have no way to fight back.
The Belgian team's playing style of this game is very clear. When defending, the players must grab it, so when you can see Spain's attack, all 11 players of the Belgian team are in the backcourt. The Spanish team members feel that they are full of power on all sides, both momentum and The number of people has achieved the effect of "intimidating" Spain. Of course, the most important thing is to curb Spain's attack while grabbing the ball.
When attacking, Antienes basically let the players play freely. Anyway, the basic idea is to be fast. The world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable, and make an efficient counterattack at the fastest speed. Therefore, Fellaini hangs the ball over there without looking at the front court, so there is Di Gan forced Pujol and Pike to get a yellow card.
With the personal ability of Belgian players, it is not a problem to pass any defender in the world, and even world-class central defenders such as Pic and Ramos will still be vulnerable in front of the Belgian attack group after losing the strong protection of the midfield.
0:3's defeat may make Spain realize a fact, holding on to pass and control, waiting for the opponent's thorough research on itself, the aging of the players, and even the fatigue of tactical execution, have caused Spain to become flawed by a rich team.
The prosperity and decline is not a description of the whole Spanish football, but a suitable description of the Spanish team that still takes Barcelona as the team, Harvey as the core and the ball control as the leading role.
In recent years, although Spanish football has not achieved outstanding results, it has been dancing at the top of the world, and there will be a tiring day after all.
This defeat has proved that these players are no longer omnipotent, so if Bosk's Spain still insists on going like this, there is only a dead end. Spain must have fresh blood, so that every step of the chess can not be under the control of the opponent, because the opponent has already studied Spain thoroughly. .
As the strongest player in world football and the pioneer of artistic football respected by FIFA and UEFA, the Spanish team has long been the target of public criticism, especially the Belgian team's formation and tactical play today, all of which have captured Spain's "lifeline".
Any champion team will be very popular for a period of time after it wins the championship. Although the Spanish team does not have a champion to fill the facade, it is famous enough to still lead the trend and development direction of world football, become the object of research by other strong teams, and be imitated and learned.
As the most eye-catching team in world football in the past four years, the Spanish team has long been studied by its competitors without any secrets.
Through this game, it can be seen that Bosk did not intend to make any change in the face of his old enemy Belgium. He still played in the same style and the same player. He probably placed all his hopes on two years, and the players became more mature.
In contrast, the Belgian team has done a lot of "work" for this game. The style of play arranged by Antienis is particularly targeted. In the game, which area allows Spain to control the ball, which area can't let them control the ball, or where they are allowed to pass and catch the ball, which is not allowed, are all carefully considered, such as Antienes was allowed to pass and catch the ball on the middle line, so that Digan and Hazard could fight back and hit behind.
Why is the Belgian team so resolute in implementing tactics?
Because Antienis saw the weakness of the Spanish team. Although the Spanish team's pass and catch is still excellent, compared with the opponents they have met before, the Spaniards have less adventurous spirit and forward momentum. Some passes and catches seem a little boring and seem to be just for passing, because, including Villa The Spanish team, including Harvey, Iniesta and others, is still the "old team". Their playing style has taken shape and lacks fresh blood, so that the Spanish team has no new ideas and can only hold the old foundation and not let go.
It is based on this that Antiennis is determined to switch between 4312 and 433 formations, so that Digan and Hazard continue to cross their positions, and the effect is as good as expected.
It can be said that today's Spanish team no longer has the ability to dominate the world football world. The world football trend is changing. They want to rise again and can't just live in their own world. When others regard them as research objects, they also need to look around and take a closer look at the tiger. The movement of the eye-tempting opponent.
There is little time left in the game. Antienis has begun to change people. He has never been replaced before. Now he has used up all the three substitution places in one breath. Even the third goalkeeper who has not been given a chance to play in this World Cup, the 2006 World Cup in Germany and the 2008 European Cup Roto, all got a chance to play.
When he saw this scene, Bosk couldn't help but turn pale, which was simply humiliating. Is there anything more unacceptable than changing the goalkeeper in the game?
Degan was also replaced. Miralas replaced him. The two hugged on the sidelines, and Degan walked off the field. The Belgian fans at the scene stood up and applauded. Although Degan only scored one goal in this game, he assisted two, which is still Belgium's biggest contributor to today's game.
"Ven great!" Antienis also took the initiative to give Degan a hug.
Digan smiled and said, "It's still a pity that we should have scored more goals today!"
Digan is not complacent. In fact, in today's game, if the Belgian team is lucky enough, they can even end the game with a more exaggerated score.
But this is good enough!
A few minutes later, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, all the Belgian team rushed into the field, except for Degan.
As the Belgian captain and the great hero who won this game, Degan needs to be interviewed by reporters in the mixed area.
"The result of the game is not surprising. We are fully capable of getting such a victory. The Spanish team is still playing football, which they think is advanced, but we have already studied them thoroughly. Now we only have one game left, that is, the final five days later. The Netherlands is a strong and respectable Opponents, we must do our best to win!"
"I don't want to say anything about this game. The result of the game has proved everything. Who is really playing advanced football? Now we don't need to focus on an opponent who has fallen. To sum up, it's a Spanish business. As for us, we have to get back what we lost four years ago! "
Four years ago?
Reporters couldn't help thinking that in the final in Germany four years ago, Digan was seriously injured in the final, and the Belgian team finally failed and saw the Italians on the podium.
Four years have passed, and it's time to take back what has been lost!
After the interview, Degan went to celebrate with his teammates. The reporters tried to stop a Spanish player, but failed. Looking at their red eyes, they knew that at this time, what they needed most was to find a place to calm down and work hard for four years to return to the World Cup dance. On the stage, they reached the semi-finals, but eventually lost to Belgium, an old opponent, which is really difficult for the young men of Spain.
Finally, captain Casillas gave an intermittent interview and sighed that during the game, San Cassie's face was full of loss: "We tried our best. We want to do better, but unfortunately, the result was not satisfactory. The Belgian team played very fast today. This makes us a little overwhelmed. I don't want to discuss this game. We need to calm down as soon as possible. Four days later, we will have another game. Although it's a pity to miss the final, we will do our best to play the last game!"
Next, Spain will compete with Argentina for the third place in this World Cup, which is indeed a little cruel for the two teams aiming to win the championship.
At the post-match press conference, the head coaches of the two teams who appeared in front of the reporters had different expressions. Antiennis was proud and Bosk was full of depression.
Bosk, who was the first to be interviewed, took full responsibility for the loss of the game: "It's my responsibility that we didn't play well. Before the game, I didn't estimate the progress of the game enough. Belgium's premature goal completely disrupted our unfamiliar tactics. This is what we didn't expect, but this is football, victory It is the side that tends to be more prepared. I want to congratulate my opponents for their excellent performance today.
After saying that, Bosc got up and left. His World Cup is over. Although he led the team to the semi-finals, this result is already very good. However, for the now famous Spanish football, failure to win the championship means failure. As a loser, Bosco's fate may After this game, he was sentenced.
With only one person left, Antienes sang a one-man show: "My players played very well today. They are unparalleled, especially Rod. He is a phenomenal player. He can do everything. I bet that he will eventually become the best star on the planet. Surpass everyone before, and there will be no other Rod in the future!"
"I have nothing to say about this game. The stronger side wins. This is an eternal law on the football field. Our performance is better, so we won!"
"In the final, I don't want to reveal any information yet. The Dutch team is excellent. They are a strong team and have a decisive battle with them. We must fight the spirit of 120,000 points. Now we are only 90 minutes away from the peak. I hope that 90 minutes can only have the best result. Former Rod once said to me, 'Go get back what we lost', and I agree with him, and I think it's time!"
