It is not much different from the starting list announced before the game, this game, Bosque did treat it as a training, and the Spanish national team starters who appeared on the field at this time were almost mainly young and substitute players, most of the main players were hidden, and only a few main players were in the team.

"Bosque is a very far-sighted manager, although the current Matadors are at a peak because they have just won the European Championship, and they are gradually maturing in terms of personnel and tactical play, but he is not satisfied with the good hand left by Aragonés, and he is still actively cultivating new blood for the national team, which is a very wise approach. If he wants to stay on top of world football for a long time, he must ensure that the team has a constant supply of reserves. ”

In the box, Manuel Pellegrini complimented him.

Fan Bizhuang shook his head: "I'm not interested in other people, I would rather see how Santiago and Karp do in the national team." ”

"That's right. Every time these kids come back from the national team, they will show off in front of you, so let's take a good look at how they played. If the performance is bad, I think next time in front of you, I won't dare to be so unscrupulous. ”

Manuel Pellegrini smiled, quipped, and focused on the pitch.

The game started quickly.

Although it was a friendly match, there was no lack of excitement on the scene.

Spain, who play at home, are mostly young and substitute players, but because of this, these players want to show themselves more through these few starting opportunities, and if they play well, they may add weight to the manager's heart, which will help them improve their status in the national team.

The youngsters were very positive on the pitch, and after just five minutes of the game, Spain had two shots on goal, and although neither shot was too threatening, at least the momentum of the new European champions was on display.

And those two shots, one from Cazorla's middle and one from Capdevilla's wide cross.

The two Villarreal players showed very good form from the start.

However, Belgium were not an underdog, there was no pressure to win, and the visitors were relaxed, and they soon started a battle with Spain, and in the 11th minute, the Red Devils had their first shot of the game, a young man named Hazard cut inside after breaking down the flank, and his shot forced the starting goalkeeper Reyna to make an embarrassing save and save the football.

In the subsequent corner kick, the Belgian youngster, who was not afraid of tigers, directly chose the corner kick hanging door. His move was unexpected, and the ball eventually missed the post, but it still caused a lot of exclamations from the fans in attendance, and some even applauded his brilliant shot.

"This little guy is very good, he has a good rhythm with the ball, he has a good view of the overall situation, and his breakthrough ability is not bad......"

Pellegrini couldn't help but clap his hands, his face was slightly surprised, he searched in his mind for information about this young player called "Hazard", but found nothing. In his impression, there is really no information about this player.

"I guess I'm a newcomer to the national team. You can observe it, and if it's really good, you can look for his game video after the game......"

Manuel Pellegrini is clearly interested in the Belgian youngster and is already thinking about ideas.

Fan Bizhuang did not talk, but continued to watch the game seriously.

Eden Hazard's positive performance has led the team to a more confident attacking scene, and at one point they have even produced a series of dangerous attacks to match the new European champions.

But Spain is the new king of Europe, and even with a semi-main lineup, they are still stronger than their opponents.

After nearly half an hour of attacking, Spain's strong passing ability and midfield control were reflected, and they began to suppress the visiting team, gradually taking the initiative on the field.

Among them, Cazorla and Valencia's young avant-garde David. Silva was the most eye-catching, the two of them kept breaking through, constantly looking for the opponent's vacancy, and providing a steady stream of shells to the front line.

In the 31st minute, Cazorla's hidden through ball at the edge of the penalty area tore through the Belgian defense, and the veteran Guissa successfully countered offside, but when he faced the goalkeeper alone, he kicked the ball into Bailly's arms.

Two minutes later, Cazorla again delivered a high-quality cross from the flank, but his pass was once again squandered by the striker, and the talented centre-forward Llorente from the Basque Country, although he managed to grab the first point, went straight to the top of the ball.

"Santiago was very excited today, and he was on the bench for most of the time, showing great ball control and passing ability in the game. But unfortunately, his efforts did not result in a goal for his team-mates! ”

'It's a shame that Santiago's several passes were imaginative and threatening, but obviously he and his team-mates didn't want to go together...... I think at this moment, Santiago's heart is extremely missive of Fan! A good passer knows better the value of a striker who understands him, and it is clear that Fan is the one who knows him best and can turn his efforts into fruit! ”

"The 'Meal Card Combination' is the most powerful pair in La Liga right now. In the club competition, Santiago and Fan Jingcheng cooperated to destroy the city, but in the national team competition, Fan was missing, alas...... I really hope to see the cooperation of this golden pair in the international competition......"

The continuous threatening attack never turned into a goal, the fans at the scene sighed again and again, and some commentators praised Cazorla's performance, and at the same time chatted about the topic of "meal card combination", but the golden pair has never been able to reunite in the national team, which makes countless people look forward to it and a pity.

It wasn't just the spectators outside the stadium who sighed, Cazorla kicked the turf in frustration after his pass was squandered by his teammates after another beautiful breakthrough.

In the club, he only needs to do his job, and the rest is up to Fan Bizhuang and his teammates to do it. His job can be described as easy.

But in the national team, he runs significantly more, pushes and breaks through, and at the same time shoulders the task of connecting the front and back, and the amount of tasks is not much larger than in the club.

It would be fine if his efforts were rewarded, but unfortunately, the teammates on the front line were not the ones he was familiar with, and even if his passes were "nanny level", it would be difficult for these people to think of going with him, and they could only be turned into useless efforts.

This is also a big reason why Cazorla has always been a substitute in the national team, and other players in this position can create good opportunities for the strikers, and although he has created a lot of chances, the strikers have not eaten too much, and the manager will definitely only choose players who contribute more to the team.

But Cazorla doesn't think it's entirely his "fault", because ......

"If I'm in front of Fan, then my passing will be dangerous!"

Cazorla thought so, but looking at his teammates on the front line, he could only shake his head helplessly, unfortunately, his current teammate is not Fan Bizhuang.

After cleaning up his slightly unwilling emotions, Cazorla continued to run actively on the field.

"Santiago is doing well, it's positive, but ...... He and his teammates didn't seem to want to go together. ”

In the VIP box, Pellegrini suddenly spoke up, he glanced at Fan Bizhuang, and continued, "If you were by his side, it would be much easier for him to come." ”

"Perhaps."

Fan Bizhuang nodded.

The game continued on the pitch, and the Spanish team, who had the initiative, finally scored in the 41st minute of the first half, and it was Cazorla, who was always active in running, who opened the door to victory for the matadors.

This is a manifestation of individual ability, Cazorla continued to form a breakthrough on the wing, but did not pass the ball into the penalty area as before, he chose to go alone, cut inside into the penalty area, pulled out a small gap and then directly kicked the goal vigorously, Belgian goalkeeper Bailly could not save, the goal was penetrated.

1:0！

The Spanish national team took the lead!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！ GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！ Santiago...... Cazorla! He opened the door to victory for the Matador Legion! ”

Cazorla turned into a striker and destroyed the opponent's defense with a powerful shot! Ha, that's beautiful! ”

"Strikers can't do it? Never mind! Then I'll do it myself! It seems that by Fan's side, Santiago also learned to shoot! ”

The Mestalla Stadium burst into cheers and applause.

Bosque, who was on the sidelines, also clapped applauded approvingly and said with a smile: "It's a beautiful goal!" ”

His assistant Grande nodded in agreement, but offered his opinion: "The breakthrough is beautiful, but there are still quite a few problems with the cooperation between Santiago and his teammates in front of him...... It's not always possible to rely on individual ability to solve problems, after all, football is a team sport. ”

Bosque nodded in agreement, then shook his head again: "This is indeed a problem for Santiago. It's not intractable, though. I think if he had a partner who knew him well, then ......"

The words are not finished, but the meaning is already self-evident.

Grande nodded thoughtfully and looked up at the VIP box in the stands, where he knew that the "partner" the head coach said was sitting there.

At this moment, a more violent exclamation broke out at the scene, and the camera lens outside the venue happened to sweep over the stands, and Fan Bizhuang in the VIP box was projected onto the electronic screen of the scene by the cameraman.
