Chapter 333 Rain Battle and Mysterious Gestures from the Enemy
Although the Spanish team almost collapsed in front of the Three Lions in the group stage, Aragones would never admit his defeat so easily.
Because in his opinion, the error lies in the method, not the direction!
Aragones is determined to carry out the study maniac Li to the end!
Therefore, after the game, he soon devoted himself to the analysis of the reasons for the failure of the game and continued to study.
At this time, Juan Mata, who rose twice under the command of the madman Li, appeared in his eyes at the right time. Marta's excellent state in training moved Aragones's heart. Referring to the use of the madman Li, let Marta play against the Netherlands as a strange soldier... Then, it was a 3:1 Overwhelming the surname Victory!
Juan Mata's control-level performance made Aragones ecstatic. [God's left foot] Mata's sharpness coupled with the rhythm of [ventilators] Harvey, a wonderful tactic that can defeat the madman Li seems to suddenly appear in front of the [football wise man]... Now Aragones is very proud!
Is there a saying in China called "with the other's spear, attack the other's shield" or something? If you use Juan Mata, the sharp spear cultivated by the madman Li, to break the defense line of the England team and wake up the madman Li from the dream of advancing to the finals... At that time, what will be the expression on the madman Li's face?
... The dialogue between the coaches obviously affects the mood of the players on both sides.
The three-goal defeat in the group stage and the provocation of the madman Li's press conference in the morning made the bloody young men of the Spanish team hold back a resentment. Casillas and Ramos, who Lao Li once coached in Real Madrid, were better, and Iniesta and Pujol from Barcelona were deeply loved by Lao Li. The "poisoning" Barcelona player will not be so polite... Pjol: "Madman Li's achievements are respectable, but he always makes some grandstanding remarks before and after the game, which makes me sick..."
Iniesta: "Because of the victory in the group stage, can you win next? To be honest, if someone hadn't told me that this sentence was said by Mr. Li, a madman, I would have said that it was a famous idiot..."
A reporter deliberately threw the question to Juan Mata. Who knew that after more than a year of grinding at Manchester United, Mata was no longer the green rookie before. He smiled faintly: "Mr. Rice Bucket once told me that no matter where I fought for whom, once I stepped on the green field, only one thing is the most important. That is, to try your best to win a victory..."
... 14:00 p.m.
The sky in Vienna suddenly became gloomy.
The edge of the training ground.
Aragones looked up at the sun gradually disappearing into the clouds, and a bad feeling appeared in his heart. Although the weather forecast did not predict that there would be rain today, the forecast was not as useful as the gypsy tarot divination in many times. What if it rained?
Is it necessary to fight in the rain?
You should know that the Spanish team belongs to the traditional ground technology flow. If you fight in the rain, the impact will be too great... 16:00 p.m.
The sky is getting more and more gloomy. The gray clouds covering the Vienna sky seem to sink directly into the ground. The temperature drops rapidly. If it doesn't rain, it's really a good day to play football.
"Notify the players to put on the long spikes directly and prepare for the rain!"
Vinaburs looked up at the sky and was a little hesitant: "Little guy, the weather forecast doesn't say it's going to rain. I think it's good to prepare long spikes in advance. There's no need to wear them directly, right? Maybe it's never been used..."
A mysterious smile appeared on Li Tongfan's face: "Old man, believe me, that's right!"
There must be a reason for scratching the man. Three hours ago, the system of FM2008 proposed to show the weather forecast:
The temperature is minus 8 degrees Celsius.
Northwest wind force four.
Light rain.
...20:15 p.m.
England's locker room.
"...in today's game, our attack direction is..."
In front of all the players and coaching staff, Li Tongfan wrote a name on the tactical board that no one would think of.
...The locker room of the Spanish team.
"... England has revealed their weaknesses in front of the world. No one in the right-back position can resist our attack at all. All you have to do is to defeat the guy who put the madman Li on this side! The core of our organization today is Harvey, and the core of the attack is..."
The white-haired [football wise man] Aragones confidently wrote a name that everyone expected on the tactical board.
...July 1st.
20:45.
Vienna Ernst-Hapel Stadium.
Forced "... The game has begun! England once again met Spain in the semi-finals. The two teams will be the only place to meet Germany in the 2008 European Cup finals. Before the game, the Spanish players were dissatisfied with the crazy Lee's words at the press conference, and coach Aragones also vowed that he had I found a secret weapon of shame... There is no doubt that this will be a heavyweight duel. Fans and friends, let's wait and see..."
When the on-site commentator finished the last word... Pa!
The first drop of raindrops fell on the roof of the stands of Hapel Stadium, and then... Papa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa... The raindrops fell from the clouds like beads of scattered threads. The fans in the stands also burst into a big exclamation. Some people took out their already prepared raincoats, and more people Then Suo took off his coat and watched the ball naked in the rain. Anyway, the temperature was cold... on the sidelines.
"Wow, shit weather forecast..."
Aragones groaned in pain. The most worrying thing still happened. In this damn rain, the strength of the Spanish team has been at least weakened. I hope the tactics arranged by the crazy Li bastard today are also ground attacks!
Not far away.
The old madman Vinaburs looked at the back of Li Tongfan standing on the sidelines with a shocked face. How did the boy know that it would rain at the beginning of the game? Think about the tactics arranged by the England team today... The Spanish team seems to be unlucky!
... on the field.
It was the Spanish team of the Bullfighters who won the opening right.
Aragones' imitation of Li Tongfan has indeed penetrated into the bone marrow. The Spanish team used the opening right to launch a quick attack. David Villa knocked the football back to Harvey, who slightly controlled the rhythm and then passed it back to Alonso.
After Liverpool's midfielder looked up and roughly observed his teammate's running position before receiving the ball, he directly raised the ball and transferred the ball in a wide range at the first time.
At this time, Torres, another center of the Spanish team, had been inserted into the England's penalty area, resisting Steven Taylor with his back, and gently facing the flying football. David Billy, who followed in the middle, shot directly without waiting for the football to land... Bang, because it was a rainy day, the football was too slippery, and the Three Lions Joe Hart, the goalkeeper of the group, did not dare to catch the ball with his hand, but directly clenched his fists and smashed the football high out of the penalty area... The buzzing stands remembered the uncontrollable exclamations of the English fans and the applause of the Spanish fans. It seems that even the rainy weather can' enthusiasm of the fans. !
"... It was only 32 seconds after the start of the game, and Villa's shot challenged the madman Li! Regardless of the meaning of the game itself or the previous enmity between the two sides, this is destined to be a fierce 90 minutes, and the Spanish team is very strong..."
...Time has passed.
The cheers of the fans were like a hurricane and tsunami in every corner of the Ernst-Hapel Stadium. Instead, they set off this cold and rainy night in Vienna like a basin of boiling water... Li Tongfan stood quietly on the side of the court and carefully watched the game in the rain.
Draw a curvature at the corners of your mouth, and everything is under control.
In the first three minutes of the game, the Spanish team controlled the rhythm of the game very skillfully. The England team had little chance to get the ball, but as the rain gradually soaked the turf, the scene became wet and slippery. Even the delicate skills such as Harvey and others became a little unnatural when stopping the ball and doing movements.
It's time!
Li Tongfan observed for a while and decisively made a strange gesture on the sidelines that looked like boxing to outsiders.
This scene made Aragones' heart tremble. What is this man going to play?
But soon, [Zhi Suo] understood the madman Li's idea and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: "Oh, shameless tactics! Despicable Chinese..."
Because, after the England team saw the gesture, the defensive action became rough, and the physical confrontation gradually increased. Most of them were forced to put shovels in the midfield, and the rhythm of attack and defense was also faster. The Spanish team was obviously not well prepared for the rain. Under such conditions, they could not give full play to their skills under their feet, and the people who were hit by England's hammers turned upside down.
When the advantage of ball control is no longer available, the scene situation begins to become strange!
In desperation, every time there is a dead ball, one or two players run to the sidelines to change their long spikes. As for those guys who don't have long spikes, they have to admit their bad luck! On the contrary, the players of the England team gradually brought back the passive situation because of the "wise" reminder of the boss in advance.
The 8th minute.
Consistently stable [ventilator] Harvey made a stop error under the pressure of Beckham and Gerrard. England instantly launched a sharp counterattack. Rooney's final long-range shot outside the penalty area was lifted out of the bottom line by Casillas... 14th minute.
Beckham predicted to intercept the foot of Senna's pass to Harvey in advance, and the first long pass helped Michael Owen almost get a single-knife opportunity. If it hadn't been for the golden lion king Puyol's desperate shovel, it is estimated that St. Cassie would have had to directly face [Lightning Killer] Owen... Taking advantage of the advantage of rainy days. After restricting Xavi, the Spanish team's offensive was paralyzed for a while, and the frequent threat offensives of the England team made the mating champions in the stands unable to sit still... At this time, the broadcast camera was surprised to find that Aragones, who was standing on the sidelines, also made a mysterious gesture... What is that? What do you mean?
