Chapter 131 One-on-one heads-up, Pogba is overwhelmed! Guardiola(2/2)

Lin Quan and Qiu Qiu disappeared from his left side.

Wow!

The fans at the scene burst into exclamations, especially those of the French team.

They thought they could see an evenly matched peak showdown, but they didn't expect that Pogba, who they had high hopes for, was passed over like a wooden man by the opponent.

how so?

They couldn't figure it out, and neither could Pogba on the field:

How could it be a fake move?

His center of gravity has obviously shifted to the right, but why can he break through from the left?

Because Pogba was passed so quickly, the opponent's center back had to rush towards Lin Quan.

You can't give this kid too much space, otherwise it will be difficult to guard him whether it's a long shot or a breakthrough.

The space around him must be compressed and his passing and passing must be restricted.

The judgment of the French defenders was accurate, but the problem is that both of them ran over to defend Lin Quan, so what should the other Spanish players do?

Facing the interceptions of two opposing defenders, Lin Quan decisively passed the ball to the space on the right.

When the ball arrived, Iniesta appeared on the right side of the penalty area. After receiving Lin Quan's pass, he faced the empty goal and pushed the ball into the goal.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Spain took the lead in breaking the deadlock by taking advantage of an ordinary counterattack opportunity.

The Stade de France, with 80,000 people, seemed to have pressed the mute button the moment Iniesta scored. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The French fans were stunned and held their heads in their hands, in disbelief.

The team obviously takes the initiative on the field, but why is it Damn Spain who scores the first goal and not them?

"Haha, it's not unexpected that this goal was scored. Spain's counterattack was of high quality, but the French team pressed too high and the defense was empty. It was easy for the opponent to sneak attack."

Faced with losing the ball this time, He Wei said with a smile.

"The French team is playing at home and naturally hopes to win, so it is not surprising that they press forward and attack.

However, when facing Spain with Lin Quan, their tactics are too risky."

Zhang Lu also smiled, Spain is now an enhanced version of Barcelona.

If you ask Barcelona to counterattack, what kind of quality is that?

I can’t even imagine it!

"We cannot blame Pogba for conceding the ball this time. He lacked the protection of his teammates. When encountering a player like Lin Quan, it is normal to be defeated in a one-on-one match."

Seeing Pogba's frustrated expression in the camera, He Wei rarely said a kind word for him.

"Yes, there is a problem with the French team's overall defensive strategy. We cannot ignore the opponent's counterattack just because Spain plays without a striker."

After the two of them finished speaking, they felt very strange in their hearts:

Isn’t the ball possession tactic the pursuit of ball possession and using pressing tactics to continuously create shooting opportunities?

Why did it come to Spain, but it turned into a backcourt kick, attracting the opponent to attack, and then defensive counterattack?

Why does this tactic feel like a combination of Guardiola and Mourinho?

Was this an accident, or was it intentional?

In a box in the stadium, a certain bald coach saw Bosque's style of play. His eyes lit up. He took out the small notebook he carried with him and wrote it down.

And in a private house in Portugal, a certain coach surnamed Mu was so angry that he wanted to curse after seeing Vicente del Bosque's inconsistent style of play.



The game restarted, and the French team, unwilling to fall behind, continued to hold high the banner of attack.

In the 15th minute, Valbuena passed the ball to the right. The right back Leia dribbled the ball down and then knocked it horizontally. Benzema followed up in the middle and fired an anti-aircraft cannon.

In the 20th minute, Benzema faced multiple defenders in the penalty area and forced a shot but was blocked from the bottom line.

The French team's corner kick was confiscated by Valdes.

During this period, the French team played very quickly and seemed to have created many shooting opportunities.

But almost all of their shots pose no threat.

And as the ball is gradually controlled by the Spanish team, they don't even have many shooting opportunities that seem to be very reluctant.

After taking control of the midfield, the power of Spain's passing and controlling tactics began to gradually emerge.

In the 22nd minute, Spain made continuous passes in the frontcourt. Harvey got the ball from the top of the penalty area and suddenly turned around and hit the goal and missed the post.

Just a minute later, David Silva's low shot was blocked by Lloris.

Starting from the 20th minute, Spain occupied most of the ball possession time in the game.

They formed a siege on the French goal in the frontcourt.

The French team's forward players couldn't get the ball if they stayed in front and had to retreat to their own half to participate in defense.

But even so, they still seemed in danger under the siege of Spain.

In the 31st minute, Iniesta passed the ball and Lin Quan was tripped while receiving the ball in the penalty area.

This was an obvious foul, but the referee didn't know why but turned a blind eye to it and did not call a penalty kick.

The Spanish players all thought about their last home game against France.

The referee's several penalties in that game were very controversial, and Spain even lodged a protest with FIFA after the game.

However, after their protest was submitted, there was no news as if nothing was heard from them.

The Spanish players on the field protested to the referee, but the referee changed the penalty and insisted that it was not a penalty kick. Xavi even received a yellow card because of his excitement.

Seeing that the protest was ineffective, the Spanish players were furious.

And this anger was quickly vented on the French team.
