Chapter 142: Going forward

The Spaniards would never have thought that they would use this method to concede the ball and shoot three consecutive shots. Their defenders did not get a single landing point, and they were all in England's control.

Obviously, England has thoroughly studied Spain and the tactics it has made are very correct.

Don Eun excitedly celebrated the goal not far away, while Yero sat in the chair and didn't even raise his butt. He was thinking about this question - England's change of formation must have a deep meaning, but what are the specific deep meanings?

Judging from this goal... was it a coincidence or a premeditated one?

This is completely different from England's previous offensive method. Rooney and Abanglahoe two forwards played against the full-back, but Gerald, the midfielder, did not perform the responsibility of organizing the offense... What exactly did Tony Don think?

"It seems we've bet right!" On the other side, Tony Donn was excited to Des Walker, "The Spaniards had no idea that we would make such a frame skip. They couldn't react and couldn't find a way to deal with us!"

"What if they find a way to deal with us?" Walker was not as excited as Don Eun. He always thought that this move was too risky.

"I think until the end of the first half, Yero couldn't think of a way to deal with us... Even if he thought about it, it wouldn't be implemented." Tang En smiled proudly, and he was confident in this regard. "If you want to deal with us, he had to replace people. In the semi-finals, he didn't dare to replace people before the first half was over. Look at Spain's starting list now, how many people can be replaced?"

Fabregas and Iniesta are Spain's dual cores and will definitely not be substituted. Both of them are biased towards offense and have little contribution to defense. The two sides, Silva and Lago are not the kind of players who are good at and like to defend. Their task is to attack and attack again. Spain, known as the strongest midfielder in Europe, only one Camacho is a defensive midfielder, but how can he alone defend the successive attacks of Gerald, Rooney, Abonrajo and Wood? The goal just now shows how well it is.

Question: Camacho followed Gerald to run. Rooney was left without a guard. After Rooney took the ball, he attracted the attention of the Spanish defense line. Vaughan quietly left the sight of the Spanish defenders. No one noticed him, on the one hand, because the defenders were paying close attention to Rooney's next move at this time, and on the other hand, this was Vaughan's first start in this cup. As for other players in England, he really lacked presence in the Spanish defenders' hearts...

In the final analysis, Donn's tactics are to use Mitchel to attract the attention of Spanish defenders. Rooney, Abonrajo, and Gerrard, three midfielders with extremely outstanding attack abilities are the real killer moves. If Rooney is lucky, he should have made the first shot just now, but unfortunately Asenho made a world-class save. Instead, Vaughn got the advantage.

If Spain wants to make adjustments to England's tactics, it is not who will guard Rooney or who will guard Abanglahoma, but who will guard George Wood. Because England's brain is him, not others. If Wood cannot pass the ball normally, England's offense will be paralyzed.

But Wood is the midfielder, very far behind. Even if he doesn't come up, he can still achieve the goal of organizing the offensive through long passes. If you want to find someone who can defend him, it cannot be said that there is no such a person in the world football world. At least in Spain at present... it is very difficult.

"So that's it... I remember that Jero said in an interview before the European Cup that he would present the best European Cup to local Spanish fans. That is to say, he planned to stick to the attacking tactics, so he brought many offensive players, and the only defensive players..." After pondering here, Walker suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Donn in surprise.

Don Neng smiled at him: "Yes, Camacho is the only midfielder who can defend. Yero can't let the centre-back rush to our half to defend George, right?"

After Don En said this, Walker's heart was finally relieved. He sat back on the coach's seat and looked at the players running on the court, thinking that Tony was right. Now everything in Spain is in our calculations, and we should not be surprised even if they make adjustments. At least we were safe in this first half.

The subsequent game was as Dunn said. The Spanish team tried hard to counterattack, but in fact they did create many threats to England's goal in the offense, but no matter how many shots were, they did not score. Moreover, considering the attack of England, the two Spanish full-backs did not dare to rashly intervene in assists, and Jero specifically advised them on the sidelines. Not continuing to concede the ball until the end of the first half was the top priority.

England is also actively seeking offense. One goal lead is not safe, if possible. It would be nice to be able to lead two goals at the end of the first half. From coach to players. Everyone thinks so.

The game became better after England scored a goal, and Spain, who was good at attacking, and England, who was determined to attack, collided with passionate sparks at the New Mestalia Stadium.

Both sides played wonderful and beautiful offensive cooperation. But everyone's luck was a little bit bad. Until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was still 0:1, and the host Spain team was temporarily behind.

Although he was not very satisfied with the 1:0 score, being able to lead was considered a good result. So Tang En did not show any dissatisfaction when he ended up.

The Spanish players are not particularly frustrated. After all, they are only one goal behind. The head coach will definitely make adjustments during the break. The second half is the real decisive battle!

The two teams left the stadium with different moods. The Spanish fans in the stands were not as confident in the second half as their teams were. Most Spanish fans were worried about the fate of the team. The thing that English fans like to do now is to discuss the naval battle five hundred years ago.

It was in that naval battle that the British Royal Navy defeated the world's largest Spanish Invincible Fleet at that time, thus allowing Britain to replace Spain as the maritime overlord, laying a solid foundation for Britain to establish the "Empire of the Sun" in the future.

This glorious history is well known to every British person and is placed in today's competition. It's so appropriate.

"We're leading with one goal, but now is not the time to celebrate, guys." In the locker room, Donn was talking to the team. "You know..."

"A goal lead is the most dangerous score in the world!" Some players have already shouted out for him.

Tang En laughed and pointed at the players and said, "It's not bad, I've learned to answer quickly..."

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room. Although this was the semi-final, the players had a very good attitude, and Tang En was very satisfied with it.

"In the second half, Spain will make adjustments to our tactics. You must be mentally prepared - the second half will definitely not be as easy as the first half. We may fall into a tough battle - if you did not expand the score gap at the beginning of the second half. What kind of adjustment will they make? It will not be defense, but offense. They will strengthen their offense on the wing, Fabregas and Iniesta will frequently pass the ball to the wing, or simply go to the wing. Only by strengthening the offense on the wing can they suppress our wing attack..." Speaking of this, Donn pointed at Rooney and Abanglajo, "Please note. You need to return to defense in the second half."

Abanglaho nodded, and Rooney had questions: "Boss, since their purpose is to suppress our wing attack, if Gabriel and I return to defense, isn't it just enough for them to achieve their goal?"

Don Eun smiled slightly: "We still have George. They suppressed our sidewalk. We will go to the middle. After forty-five minutes of the first half, Eunuch must have thought that our main attack direction was two sides, and Mitchel and Vaughn were just illusions to attract each other's attention... If they really think so and make corresponding adjustments. Then in the second half..." Don Eunuch pointed to Mitchel and Vaughn, "You two let Eunuchn know who is the decoration!"

"No problem, boss!" Mitcher replied loudly.

"I must admit that I did not expect England to make such a change..." In the Spanish team's locker room, Jero's first words were to apologize to the whole team and admit his mistakes. "I apologize for the overall disadvantage in the first half."

The Spanish players did not expect the head coach to bow their heads in public, but this made them feel that they had not fulfilled their responsibilities. The reality of falling behind by one goal should not be borne by the head coach, because the team is behind not the responsibility of one person, but the problem of the whole team.

The atmosphere in Spain has always been very good. Although Catalonia has been clamoring to be independent in Spain, this will not affect the friendship between the players in the national team. Now they are a whole, without the distinction between Madrid, Basque and Catalans.

"We have to make adjustments in the second half. Unfortunately, we don't have many defensive players in the midfield."

Camacho immediately felt the gaze that everyone was watching, and he knew that as the only defensive midfielder in the team, his task in the second half would be heavier.

"We can't make too many adjustments on defense. I can't ask Camacho to cover everything from the front to the backcourt. We can only find ways to attack. "Jero pondered for a moment. "English tradition is to attack on the side. Their midfield passes very fast, mainly relying on the side to promote the attack. George Wood is only responsible for dispatching. There are very few fatal first passes when approaching the penalty area. To suppress their side attack, we can only attack on our side attack. The Spanish tradition is also to attack on the side attack. Don't forget this, gentlemen!"

Jero decided to put heavy troops on the wing, whether it was Iniesta or Fabregas, they would play more on the wing, and attack with Lago and Silva in a volatile manner.

"In offense, our midfielder should quickly make the ball, reduce the number of touches and time of possession.  Technically, we are indeed not as good as Spain, you must admit this.  " Seeing someone showing an unhappy look, Donne immediately pointed over.   "If the Spanish team strengthens control and defense in the midfield, then we will use long passes in the backcourt...Mitcher and Vaughan are two frontcourt lighthouses, so look for them for long passes.  Gerard, your task is to control the second landing point when they control the high point.   If you are close to the penalty area, try to shoot!"

Gerald nodded and clenched his fists. He will not lose to anyone in terms of long shots. He has grown older and has not affected his explosive power of shooting. Now his long shot angle is more confusing and his footwork is more concealed.

"If we don't score in the beginning of the second half, we will temporarily slow down the pace, reclaim the formation, and stabilize the defense. But in this case, don't forget to attack. You must seize any opportunity for attack! I tell you that if you waste opportunities on the football field, you will be retribution!"

"I only emphasize one thing - the speed must be fast when attacking! Run fast, receive fast, pass fast, even if you shoot fast! This fast pace is lacking in Spain, and it is what they fear. It is our advantage, and we must make good use of it."

"What if England beat us to counterattack? Their speed is very fast. If you are sure that you are not sure to stop the football, then foul! Foul the foul far away from the penalty area, the sooner the better! Don't think that I'm talking to the defensive players. Start with the striker, and once the ball is lost, it will be counterattacked and blocked. Even if the ball cannot be cut off, you must force them to pass back. You cannot let them attack quickly. Once England's speed is raised, it will be difficult to stop them... None of our players can get the cards in the first half, which is our advantage. The referee is relatively soft against us, which is also our advantage, and we must use it. In addition, in the physical confrontation with England, you can fall more. Remember that we are the host, this is our home court!"

"Please pay attention to me when defending, and keep your movements hidden, conceal them! Do you know what hidden means? Don't let the damn referee see the small movements! You have to let the Spaniard suffer a secret loss! You must know that we are a away game, and the referee will definitely be slightly biased towards Spain. There is no doubt that I know UEFA's style of conduct." Don En said this, and someone laughed in his heart. Nottingham Forest is being scrambled by UEFA every year. As the head coach of Qianren, he certainly knows what UEFA's style of conduct is.

"If you are convicted of a foul, don't try to defend the referee. Under the circumstances, any of your actions may be understood by the referee as a provocation of his authority. I absolutely do not want to see a yellow card late for a foul and then receive the second yellow card through verbal protest."

Don Eun had a serious expression and wanted the players to know how important this was.

"Okay, I've said everything I should say. Do you want more than 60,000 fans to witness their favorite team playing in the third and fourth finals on the spot? Do you want to miss the opportunity to win the championship trophy at your doorstep? It's nothing great to fall behind with one goal. We are Spain, we are a whole!" Jero showed off his style as the captain of the Spanish team and loudly encouraged the players. "We are the hosts, and there are so many fans watching us, and we can't lose no matter what!"
