London, United Kingdom.

Molina and Felisa were already seated in the living room, and the camera was slowly scanning the bright and spacious Ellis Park Stadium on the TV screen in front of them.

"Mr. Contesares, did you say that Uncle Fan will have a chance to play in this game?"

Felisa asked in a somewhat uncertain tone, her eyes full of anticipation.

Before the first match of Group H, Felisa also asked her father this question, and the answer was yes, but the result was very disappointing, Van Bizhuang did not even get a minute of playing time, which made the wait of Molina and Felisa useless.

And the second group game is about to begin, Felisa asked again, obviously wanting to be recognized by her father again.

"Absolutely. Van is so good, if I were the head coach, he would definitely be the starting team! ”

Molina replied, though also uncertain, in the affirmative. As soon as the words fell, his eyes were bright, and he clearly saw that the voice of the on-site commentator came from the TV screen, as well as the starting lists of both sides that appeared on the screen.

And Fan Bizhuang's name is impressively listed.

"Uncle Fan?"

"God, I'm not dazzled, am I? Uncle Fan is the starter?! That's really ...... It's incredible! ”

Felisa jumped up from the couch and cheered loudly with excitement waving her pink fist.

A smile appeared on Molina's face, and the worry in her heart disappeared at this moment.

On TV, Fan Bizhuang wore a red jersey like a flame, his face was as calm as ever, he slowly walked up the field with the team, confidently raised his head, confidently waved to the stands, and looked around confidently......

When the whistle blew from the television, Molina and Felisa cheered and shouted again.

"Fan, come on!"

"Forward, Uncle Fan! You are the best! ”

……

In Lyon, France, Bella is also sitting next to the TV with a little Fan in her arms, and next to him is Madame Mathilde.

"Ah, it's a match between Spain and Honduras! How is it not the French team? ”

"But it's not bad, Spain is also our European national team, in the face of teams from other continents, I Mathilde understands the overall situation very well, ha, I want to be unanimous! Team Spain, come on! ”

"Oooo It's really exciting, ha, the World Cup game is much more exciting than the ordinary league, Ms. Bella, you see, how lively the atmosphere is......"

Mathilde habitually broke his thoughts, shouting and screaming, Bella just smiled, her eyes were retracted from the familiar figure on the TV screen, looking at the little one in her arms, and whispered in her heart: "Little guy, let's cheer for him together." ”

……

Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg, South Africa.

From the moment the whistle blew, the atmosphere was always in a hot mood, with fans waving and shouting wantonly in the stands, accompanied by various songs, all of whom were venting their excitement and passion for the World Cup.

From the start of the game, Spain showed an aggressive attacking posture, while Honduras selectively dropped back.

This is not surprising, the Spanish team is good at passing and attacking, under the pressure of their strong strength, most teams in the world will choose to stick to the defensive line, not to mention the experience of the Swiss team - the Swiss team has set a good example for many teams, in the face of a strong Spanish team, it is unwise to pull out and play against them, and bus tactics are the magic weapon to defeat the enemy.

Honduras are not Brazilians, they are not Germany, they don't have outstanding overall quality, they don't have individual superstars, and they are even worse than Switzerland.

Only by knowing your position and responding to it in a targeted manner can you have a chance of survival.

Honduras are very aware of themselves, so they happily shrunk their formation from the start, that is, they put on an iron bucket formation, that is, they want to defend to deal with the strong attacking group of the Spanish team.

This is the way for a weak team to survive in the face of a strong opponent, although the scene will be very ugly, and it will be criticized by fans, but sometimes the result is the most important thing, and no one can find fault with the bus tactics in Honduras.

After a match with the Swiss team, the Spanish team has long been fully aware and prepared for such a situation. Today's Spanish team is the king of the new Europe, the super favorite to win this World Cup, their strength is exposed, there are countless fans to figure out and study, and opponents will come up with all kinds of ways to target them.

The Iron Bucket Array is one of them.

To be honest, the bucket formation is indeed a headache tactic, any team in the world in the face of a team bent on defending, will feel helpless, others do nothing, just the whole team defense, hate 11 players are blocked in the penalty area, the goal is tightly protected, what can you do?

The Spanish team does not have a very good way, there are three best ways to break the dense defense and iron bucket formation, one is to set pieces, one is to constantly cross high balls from the side, and the other is to strengthen the breakthrough in a small area to achieve the purpose of breaking the face with points.

Forget about the high ball for the time being, the current Spanish national team is good at passing and penetration, and they have no advantage in the high-altitude competition.

As for set-piece scoring, it is also hard to come by, although there are many free kick masters in the team, but the Honduran team obviously thought of this as well, so they were very careful about the timing and location of fouls, and tried not to give the matadors a good penalty position.

Therefore, the Spanish team has only one choice, and that is to strengthen the individual breakthrough of the players.

Fortunately, there are many breakthrough players in the Spanish team, whether it is Navas, Iniesta, or Van Bizhuang, they are all good at assault, and they have super individual ability, and they can always use the breakthrough to cause problems for the opponent's defense.

However, because Honduras has too many defenders in the backfield, they often dunk one, and another defender will immediately come up to press, and the opponent does not leave much room for the Spanish player to break through, which increases the difficulty of the assault.

Spain were in the same situation as they had in their previous game against Switzerland, using their overall strength to quickly keep their opponents at bay in half court and launching a non-stop onslaught attack, but their opponents' stubborn play and stubborn defence often left them in vain.

No matter how lively the offensive is, it is useless to only thunder and not rain.

'Spain are in trouble again, they have a lot of attacking and the players are full of desire to score, but it's clear that as a team with championship quality, they are a thorn in the side of all teams and all teams will use all kinds of methods to drag them down!

"Honduras are almost all on the defensive side, and that's really the ugliest and most undesirable scene in the world of football...... But I have to say that such a stubborn defense tactic is very effective, and the Spanish team once again fell into the sea of iron buckets! ”

'The Spanish players have to play smarter, breaking the bucket and defending intensively is a problem in the world, and obviously they will encounter it more than once in this World Cup. They have to find a way to score goals or ...... Spain forwards, show your real strength, the fans are waiting for you to score your first goal of this World Cup! ”

'As long as you can score goals, then all the problems will be solved, but the problem is that it seems difficult for Spain to do so against a Honduran iron bucket defence.

The game has been going on for almost 20 minutes, and the Spanish team has formed a half-court siege momentum, and there are a lot of shots on goal, but there are not many that can actually pose a threat to the opponent's goal.

Such a situation will inevitably make people worry, and the same was true in the last game with the Swiss team, Spain had the advantage of the whole game, but they could not break the turtle shell, and then they were stolen by the Swiss team, and in the end they could only drink helplessly.

And now the Spanish team still can't score, which naturally makes many fans who support the Matador Army anxious, they are really afraid that the "tragedy" of the last game will happen again.

The cheers and singing grew louder and louder, and the fans supported their team with the greatest amount of voice.

There were also people constantly shouting the names of the players on the field, Xavi, Iniesta, Torres...... Fans are expecting these stars to step up in difficult times and help the team establish a goalscoring advantage.

Fan Bizhuang's name was constantly shouted by fans, but his performance made fans with strong expectations somewhat disappointed.

In the third minute, Fan Bizhuang had his first touch of the ball in the World Cup, and then his first pass. In the ensuing period, Van Bizhuang ran aggressively, but not much to praise – he made two breakthroughs, one successful, one unsuccessful, and two dangerous passes, but ultimately failed to form an assist.

In terms of shot stats, it's only once.

The only time this time was a long-range shot, and the ball did not find the right head, and it went straight above the crossbar.

Facing an iron bucket-like defense line, and as a dangerous person, Fan Bizhuang was taken care of by the opponent's defenders, such a performance is reasonable, but the fans are very disappointed, after all, in their hearts, Fan Bizhuang is not an ordinary player, ordinary players are marked without temper It is understandable, but as a superstar, it is easy to be seen to death, then it is a bit of a big loss.

There are fans who sigh in frustration, feeling that Fan Bizhuang, who has no experience in the competition, may be the first time to visit an important competition, and his mentality is a little unstable, which affects his performance.

It's just that this kind of loss didn't last long, and when everyone was sighing about the fate of Spain's "uncertain future", Fan Bizhuang, who had not performed brilliantly for more than 20 minutes, broke out without warning.

In the 25th minute, Van Bizhuang roamed down the left flank, shook off a close defender with his pace, and just pulled out the space before Xavi's unmistakable pass was straight in front of him.

Fan Bizhuang, who received the ball most of the time before, this time, did not pass the ball out quickly, but volleyed half in the air, jumped up and unloaded the ball steadily, in this process, the right foot of the ball also used a trace of dark energy, slightly changed the position of the football falling, the football jumped from the side of the defender who was pressing, Fan Bizhuang was behind, a chic half turn, and the coherent action of stopping the ball and turning around was completed in a chic and freehand manner, like flowing water.

"Beautiful stops, nice turns, nice breaks!"

"Fan used a textbook stop-and-turn move!"

"This is the strength of a top superstar, maybe Fan's performance before this is very average, but as long as a small moment, any of his actions can be admired and crazy! Let's see what Fan will do next! Will he surprise everyone in a big way? It's really exciting! ”
