Chapter 1075: The Battle of the Peak

After Spain defeated Brazil to enter this Confederations Cup, the Spanish media registered in the Confederations Cup went crazy, originally they did not have much hope that Spain would reach the final, and the previous arrogant attitude was nothing more than a bluff.

Because the current Spain team has been going downhill, Xavi and David Villa are both thirty and two years old, the awareness of playing football may still be there, but the physical fitness has declined very much, plus their innate physical advantage is not obvious, Xavi as the soul player in the Spanish Tiki-Taka tactics, many times he is not on the field or in poor condition, Spain or Barcelona's offense will have a significant decline.

And now Xavi just happened to be in serious decline, and he was able to finally reach the final by relying on the efforts of the Valencia gang......

The Spanish national team in the past few years has been at the peak of many media, and many media believe that it is only the Barcelona players who have performed well, and it has nothing to do with the Real Madrid gang and Valencia gang players.

Now, with Xavi's ageing, the Barcelona Gang are starting to marginalise and start with Valencia's imprint, which was on display in the second semi-final of the Confederations Cup......

Similarly, other media are also very fanatical, because the two teams that entered the final play style are very similar, and the only similarities are that some positions are cheaper, in the words of the Chinese media - a battle between master and apprentice!

That's right, it's a battle between master and apprentice.

In 2006, Coach Aragonés, the father of Tiki-Taka, discovered the value of the Spanish football pass-control bullfighting style from the Villarreal team, and combined with Barcelona's Dutch all-attack and all-defense concept, the systematic content of Tiki-Taka's extreme offensive and defensive concept was formed, and the Spanish team in the World Cup practiced it, but the Spanish team was still immature and did not make Tiki-Taka's first major tournament debut to the end.

In the 2007 European Championship qualifiers, with the rise of Xavi, Iniesta, David Silva, Senna and other world-class midfielders, as well as the arrival of the maturity of the back line Puyol, Marchena, Capdevilla, and the forward line has the golden twin guns David Villa and Torres in the peak state, so that Aragonés's Tiki-Taka tactical concept can truly dominate world football and open another tactical revolution in world football. Pioneering ideas have earned Tiki-Taka the status of the father of Tiki-Taka.

Then, in the summer after the end of Euro 2008, a generation of talented midfielder Pep Guardiola officially took office at Barcelona, transplanting the Spanish team's Tiki-Taka tactical concept completely, and during his tenure at Barcelona from 2008 to 2011, he developed the version of Tiki-Taka tactics to the extreme, and achieved great success, only because of Iello's dominance in the Mestalla after the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Barcelona's supremacy was shaken......

At the national team level, Bosque continued Aragonés' Tiki-Taka philosophy and led the Spanish team to win the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Championship, truly establishing the epic Spanish dynasty era for the Spanish team and Spanish football.

And the rest of the matter, fans who follow the dynamics of world football know that Guardiola terminated his contract with Barcelona because of his 'poor record', and then unexpectedly became the head coach of the Chinese national team.

After a full year and a half of adjustments, he completely transplanted the Tiki-Taka tactics he understood to the current Chinese team.

In the past year, Pep Guardiola even led the Chinese team to half of the entire 2012 and 2013 without losing.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the Ello team, but it is undeniable that the Tiki-Taka tactics from Spain have had a huge impact on the current Chinese team, or the reason why the Chinese team was able to beat the Brazilian team in the first round of the Confederations Cup group stage is entirely because of Tiki-Taka's advanced concept.

Therefore, the match between two national teams using the same tactics has attracted the attention of the media and fans around the world, whether it is Spain, which has achieved great success in the past, to defend the supremacy of the 'teacher', or the Chinese team as a 'student' to win and make a splash?

In addition, FIFA gave the Spanish team and the Chinese team the first and third international rankings in June, and they are the two favorites to win the Confederations Cup, so the match between the Chinese team and Spain has a very popular name - the pinnacle battle.

At the end of the federation semi-finals between Spain and Brazil, it was also the time when the Chinese team arrived at Rio de Janeiro's Galion Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport.

As soon as Iroh got off the plane, he couldn't wait to turn on the mobile phone to turn on the button, he calculated the end time of the game before taking the plane, if there was no extra time, then their arrival in Rio de Janeiro was exactly the same as the end time of the semi-finals between Brazil and Spain, and for some reason, the plane was half an hour late, and he would definitely receive a text message from a friend of the Spanish national team......

Sure enough, as soon as he turned on his phone, he received a message from his Valencia teammates.

There's David Silva, there's David Villa, Cazorla, Cesar Azpilicueta, Jordi Alba and even a text message from Ramos, who has a close relationship.

There were no surprises, they were all warlords.

Ailuo smiled slightly, and replied in unison - wash your ass and wait for the uncle to come - fuck!

You look at the scenery from the bridge, the people watching the scenery look at you from upstairs, the bright moon decorates your window, but you decorate other people's dreams.

This sentence is perfectly in line with the presence of Iro, who appears in Rio de Janeiro, whose attention is entirely focused on answering texts from teammates and friends, but he attracts everyone's attention, and even countless enthusiastic Brazilian girls chanting his name......

At the same time, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who follow the Confederations Cup through online social platforms, looked up at the sky at 45 degrees and clenched their fists secretly as they watched the hot topic that had been hyped up on Twitter for a short time.

"The pinnacle battle?"

NO!

In the minds of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, only him/his rivalry with Iroh is worthy of the pinnacle!
