The result of the warm-up match against the French team was beyond everyone's expectations. Before the game, most people were optimistic that the king of Europe would have the last laugh in this "battle for kingship", but there were still a small number of people who were optimistic about France.

However, even the most optimistic person may think that Spain may lose, but they would never have imagined that Spain would suffer a humiliating defeat - the final score was 5:1, and the French team used a big victory to press the new king of Europe to the ground and rub it hard.

Franck Ribery scored twice and Thierry Henry scored two goals, the last of which came from Marseille full-back Valbuena, while Spain only scored a face-saving goal in the second half through Fernando Torres – there was nothing to save face, and it was already a humiliating end to be penetrated five times by the opponents.

At the end of the game, the Parc des Princes players were in a frenzy of excitement, with the home fans and the French players cheering and singing as if they were a holiday, while the Spanish players who suffered a heavy defeat left the stadium quickly and ashamedly, like defeated roosters.

Although it was only an insignificant friendly match, the defeat with a score of 1:5 still made all the away team players feel hot in their cheeks and have no shame to stay on the pitch for an extra second.

Everyone fled off the pitch, and there were many reporters outside the stadium who wanted to interview with long guns and short guns, but the Spanish players pushed away the microphones and cameras one after another, and left in embarrassment.

The reporters are very dissatisfied with this, Spain lost the "battle for kingship", or lost so completely, this can be called an absolutely exciting news, they naturally want to take out more fierce information from the players, or the reason for the loss, or the coach's tactical arrangements have doubts and other shocking words, but the Spanish players do not cooperate at all, which naturally makes them very unhappy.

Although the players did not give interviews, the unwilling reporters were not going to let the Spanish team go at all, and they were determined to challenge the coach of the Matadors, Bosque, at the post-match press conference that would be waiting for a while.

As a result, at a later press conference, Bosque was confronted with an overwhelming wave of questioning and critical questions from reporters.

After the defeat to the French team, Bosque's face was already ugly, but the reporters didn't care what his mood was, anyway, he was chasing "chasing and fighting", and he didn't have any affection at all.

"How do you feel about this 5-1 rout, which is almost humiliating, Coach Vincent? Do you think it's your own tactical misarrangement? ”

“1：5！ Such a rout, such a terrible form, Coach Vincent, do you think your team has what it takes to go far at the World Cup in South Africa? ”

"As the new European champions, the team was beaten by the French team like this, how do you feel at the moment? Do you think the blame for this rout lies with you, or with your players? ”

"I have a question, Coach Vincent, there are a lot of good players on the bench, like Van and Sergio, they didn't play in this game, why didn't they play? If they play, will it make a fundamental difference to the outcome of the game? ”

"Honestly, Coach Vincent, do you feel like you're using people incorrectly?"

All kinds of questions and questions poured into Bosque's ears, making his already ugly face as black as the bottom of a pot, and after answering a few questions, Bosque was so annoyed that he finally couldn't help but get up and leave with his sleeves up.

This is Bosque is expressing his protest to the media with practical actions, but in the eyes of reporters, this is a manifestation of the Spanish coach's weakness, so in the next day's report, Bosque instantly became the "target of the public", was set on the barbecue grill, and repeatedly roasted.

“1:5！ The Spanish national team ushered in a major fiasco before the start of the World Cup! ”

"Bosque has to take responsibility for this defeat, his poor on-the-spot command and misuse of personnel were the real reasons for the Spanish team's rout!"

"Compared to Aragonés, the successor Bosque is too far behind! If the king of Europe goes to South Africa in such a state, what awaits them is bound to be an early return home! ”

"Hidden in the snow? No, no, in Bosque's plans, Van and Sergio, Alonso ...... Wait, these excellent players are not important, Bosque's stupid employment will bring huge hidden dangers to the Spanish team's trip to South Africa! ”

“……”

……

I have to say that this friendly match with the French team brought a big psychological blow to the Spanish players, who originally came to Paris with confidence, wanting to give the aging king a hammer and completely declare that they are the real kings of Europe, but they were hit head-on, to be precise, they were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.

A friendly match, winning or losing is not important, but a small loss and a rout, these are two completely different results, the score of 1:5, like a thorn, deeply embedded in the hearts of the players, extremely uncomfortable, but also made many people doubt the team's trip to South Africa.

Even the French team at sunset can beat them to the point where they are powerless, so in the World Cup, they meet stronger teams, such as Brazil or Germany...... They are a more energetic and powerful team than the French team today, if Spain meets, they have to beat up and call their mothers? That's it, what else to talk about conquering the world and lifting the Hercules Cup?

Coupled with the continuous criticism and questioning of public opinion by the European media, this makes the players' mentality even more depressed, and they are even more worried about this World Cup journey.

A warm-up game before the World Cup, but caused the team to self-doubt the consequences, which Bosque never expected before, after this game, Bosque talked to the players several times, trying to eliminate the impact of the low mentality after the big defeat, but the effect can only be considered average.

In desperation, Bosque could only cry out in vain. He also understands that it is better to say more than to do more, and to restore the team's confidence, then the only way to fill it is to win one game after another.

Fortunately, they still have such a chance, before the official start of the World Cup, the Spanish team will also play a warm-up match against the two local teams in South Africa, if they can get a good result, presumably the impact of the big loss to the French team will be a lot less.

After the match, the Spanish team stayed in Paris for two days before departing from Charles de Gaulle Airport and heading off to the African continent with a slightly heavy mentality.

The Republic of South Africa, referred to as South Africa, is located in the southern hemisphere, the southernmost part of the African continent, and is known as the "Rainbow Country".

There are two theories about the reason for this reputation. One is because of the topography, South Africa is the closest country to a rainbow in the sky.

Of course, this is just a beautiful legend. In fact, the Rainbow Nation is not really a rainbow, but was created by Archbishop Desmond of South Africa. One of the suggestions made by Tutu when he established the Republic of South Africa after apartheid is that because South Africa has a variety of races and ethnic cultures, the meaning of being called the Rainbow Country is that people of different races live peacefully in this beautiful country and work together to build their own homeland.

Blacks, whites, Indians, yellows, Arabs, etc., these people with different skin tones are like rainbows in the sky, with different colors, but they come together to become the most beautiful scenery.

This is a beautiful idea, and one that South Africa has been striving for: to eliminate the idea of apartheid and to make the world equal, without distinction between races and classes.

Since the Age of Discovery, Africa has been mired in wars, and the people of this continent have suffered greatly from the rule of European colonizers in recent centuries.

Until now, the situation on the African continent has remained extremely complex.

Relatively speaking, South Africa is a rare place of peace in Africa. South Africa is the second largest economy in Africa, with a higher standard of living and a more stable social environment than other African countries.

This year's World Cup is the first time in the history of football that the World Cup has come to the African continent, which can be described as far-reaching, and the purpose of FIFA's propaganda is: football knows no borders, no race, and everyone is equal in the world of football.

This time, all the matches of the World Cup in South Africa will be played in nine cities in South Africa, that is, in ten stadiums, namely Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg, Soccer City Stadium, Durban Stadium in Durban, Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein, Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, Mbobella Stadium in Nelspruit, and Peter. Mokaba Stadium, Loftos Stadium in Pretoria, Royal Bamferken Stadium in Rustenburg, and Cape Town Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa.

In these ten stadiums, 32 teams from all over the world will play a total of 64 matches, and in the final stage, the two teams that have advanced to the final will once again descend to Johannesburg, where they will compete for the final title at the Soccer City Stadium, giving their all for the Hercules Cup.

The first city the Spaniards will travel to when they arrive in South Africa is Nelspruit, where they will play their first match of the World Cup against fellow European qualifiers Switzerland on 16 June.

The World Cup is very different from the usual club cup competitions, and the most obvious performance is that on the playing field, the three group games are played in three different cities, which means that after Nelspruit plays the first round, the Spanish team will not have time to rest, and will go to the next competition city, Johannesburg. And the last city to compete is in Pretoria.

One game a week is not too much of a task for professional footballers, and most of the players who can make it to the national team come from a proud team, and they are used to it in a normal season, they often face two games a week, or even three games a week.

But the World Cup is different, they need to constantly patrol various cities, which makes the physical and mental demands of the players even more demanding.

If you're lucky enough to make it to the final, you'll be on the run for at least a month. In addition to dealing with the fierce competition, you also need to take into account the physical and mental reserves, which is really a big problem.
