Chapter 333: Rain Battles and Mysterious Gestures from the Enemy
Although the Spanish team was almost crushed in front of the Three Lions in the group stage, [Football Wisdom] Aragonés will definitely not admit his defeat so easily.
Because in his opinion, the fault lies in the method, not in the direction!
Aragonés is determined to carry out the study of the madman Lee to the end!
Therefore, after the game, he quickly devoted himself to analyzing the reasons for the defeat and continuing to study.
At this time, Juan Mata, who had risen strongly twice under the Mad Lee, appeared in his eyes at the right time, and Mata's excellent form in training made Aragonés's heart move, and he used it as a surprise to start against the Netherlands...... Immediately after, there was a 3:1 overwhelming victory!
Juan Mata's performance at the control level made Aragonés ecstatic, and the sharpness of [God's left foot] Mata combined with the rhythm of [Ventilator] Xavi, a brilliant tactic that could defeat the madman Lee seemed to appear in front of [Football Wisdom] at once...... Now Aragonés is very proud!
In China, there is a saying that "with the spear of the other, the shield of the other" or what? If the sharp spear cultivated by Juan Mata, the madman Lee, is used to puncture the England backline, the madman Lee will wake up from the dream of advancing to the final...... When the time comes, what will be the expression on the face of the madman Lee?
…… The conversation between the managers clearly affected the mood of the players on both sides.
The three-goal defeat in the group stage and the provocation of the madman Lee at the press conference in the morning made the young men of the Spanish team hold back a wave of resentment, Casillas and Ramos, who Lao Li once coached in Real Madrid, are a little better, and Barcelona players such as Iniesta and Puyol from Barcelona who are deeply "poisoned" by Lao Li will not be so polite...... Puyol: "Crazy Lee's achievements are respectable, but he always makes some sensational remarks before and after the race, which makes me sick......"
Andres Iniesta: "Because you won in the group stage, you can win in the next place? To be honest, if someone hadn't told me that this sentence was said by the madman Mr. Lee, I would have been a famous quote from some idiot......"
A reporter deliberately threw the question to Juan Mata, who knew that after more than a year of grinding at Manchester United, Mata was no longer the young rookie he used to be, and smiled faintly: "Mr. Rice Bucket once told me that no matter where you are fighting for, once you set foot on the green field, there is only one thing that is the most important, and that is to go all out to get a win......"
…… 14:00 p.m.
The skies over Vienna suddenly became overcast.
Training on the sidelines.
Aragonés looked up at the sun that was gradually disappearing into the clouds, and a bad feeling appeared in his heart, although the weather forecast did not predict rain today, but forecasting this thing is not as useful as the gypsy's tarot card divination, what if it rains?
Do you want a rain fight?
You must know that the Spanish team belongs to the traditional ground technical flow, and if you fight in the rain, the impact is too great............ 16:00 p.m.
The sky was getting overcast, the gray clouds that hung over the Vienna sky seemed to sink directly to the ground, and the temperature dropped rapidly, if it didn't rain, it would be a good day to play football.
"Tell the players, just put on your spike shoes and get ready for the rain!"
Venables looked up at the sky and hesitated: "Little guy, the weather forecast doesn't say it's going to rain, I think it's good to prepare spike sneakers in advance, there's no need to wear them directly, right?" Maybe I won't need it all the time......"
Li Tongfan showed a mysterious smile on his face: "Old man, believe me, that's right!" ”
There must be a reason why the muffled man is so sure, the weather forecast for FM2008 three hours ago was as follows:
The temperature was minus eight degrees Celsius.
Northwest wind level 4.
Light rain.
…… 20:15 p.m.
England dressing room.
“…… In today's game, our attack direction was ......"
In front of all the players and coaching staff, Lee Tong-beom wrote a name on the tactical board that no one expected.
…… Spain dressing room.
“…… England have exposed their weaknesses to the world, there is no one at right-back who can withstand our attack, all you have to do is to break the guy who put the madman Lee on this side! The heart of our playmaking today is Xavi, and the heart of the attack is ......"
The gray-haired [Football Wisdom] Aragonés confidently wrote a name on the tactical board that everyone expected.
…… July 1.
20:45。
Ernst Happel Stadium, Vienna.
Forced"...... The race is on! England met Spain again in the semi-finals, with the two teams set to play Germany at the Euro 2008 final, and the Spanish players were unhappy with Lee's rhetoric at a press conference, while coach Aragonés vowed that he had found his secret weapon for shame...... There is no doubt that this will be a passionate heavyweight matchup, so let's wait and see......
When the on-site narrator finished the last word...... Syllable!
The first drops of rain fell on the grandstand roof of the Happel Stadium and then ...... Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang...... The raindrops fell from the clouds like scattered beads, and the fans in the stands also broke out into a small exclamation, some took out the raincoats that had been prepared, and more people took off their shirts and watched the game in the rain bare-chested, anyway, the temperature was cold...... Sidelines.
"Wow, shit weather forecast ......"
Aragonés groaned in pain. The most feared thing has happened, this damn rain, the strength of the Spanish team has been weakened at least a little, I hope that the tactics arranged by that bastard of the madman Li today are also ground attacks!
And not far away.
The old madman Venables looked at the back of Li Tongfan standing on the sidelines with a shocked face, how did this kid know that it would rain at the beginning of the game? Think again about the tactics that England have laid out today...... The Spanish team seems to be going to be unlucky!
…… on the field.
It was the Matadors Spain who won the opening kick.
Aragonés' imitation of Lee Tong-fan was well undermined, and Spain used the opening ball to launch a quick attack, with David Villa knocking the ball back to Xavi, who controlled the tempo a bit before passing back to Alonso.
After Liverpool's midfielder looked up to roughly observe his teammates' running before receiving the ball, he immediately took the high ball and transferred it widely.
At this time, Torres, another center forward of the Spanish team, had inserted into the England team's penalty area, resisted Steven Taylor with his back, and lightly touched the flying football...... Bang because it was a rainy day and the football was too slippery, the Three Lions goalkeeper Joe Hart did not dare to catch the ball with his hands, but directly clenched his fists and smashed the football high into the penalty area...... The buzzing cheering stands remembered the irrepressible exclamations of the English fans and the exhaled and eyebrow-raising applause of the Spanish fans, and it seemed that even the rainy weather could not extinguish the fanaticism of the fans!
“…… Just 32 seconds into the game, Villa's shot challenged Crazy Lee! Whether it is from the meaning of the game itself or the previous grudge between the two sides, it is destined to be a fierce 90 minutes, and the momentum of the Spanish team is very strong......"
…… Time passes.
The cheers of the fans were like a hurricane tsunami in every corner of the Ernst Happel Stadium, which set off the bleak and rainy night in Vienna like a basin of boiling water...... Li Tongfan stood quietly on the sidelines, drenched in the rain and carefully watching the game.
The corners of the mouth are drawn in an arc, and everything is mastered.
In the first three minutes of the game, Spain were very skillful in controlling the tempo of the game, and England had few chances to get possession, but as the rain gradually soaked the turf, the scene became slippery, and even the delicate skills such as Xavi and others became a little unnatural when stopping the ball and making movements.
The time has come!
Li Tongfan observed for a while, and decisively made a strange gesture on the sidelines that looked like boxing to outsiders.
This scene made Aragonés's heart tremble, what is this guy going to play?
But soon, [Zhisuo] understood the madman Li's thoughts, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth: "Whew, shameless tactics!" Despicable Chinese......"
Because, after seeing the gestures, the England team's defensive movements became rougher, the physical confrontation gradually increased, and the pressing in the midfield was mostly tackled, and the rhythm of attack and defense also increased. The Spanish were clearly ill-prepared for the rain and could not indulge their skills at their feet in such conditions, and were overturned by England's hammers.
When the dominance of possession is gone, the situation starts to get weird!
In desperation, every time the ball died, one or two players ran to the sidelines to change into spike shoes, and those who didn't have spikes had to think they were unlucky! On the contrary, the players of the England team gradually turned back from the passive situation because of the "wise and wise" reminder of the boss in advance.
8th minute.
Xavi, who has always been stable [ventilator], made a mistake in stopping the ball under the pressure of Beckham and Gerrard, and the England team launched a sharp counterattack in an instant, and Rooney's final long-range shot from outside the box was lifted out of the line by Casillas...... 14th minute.
Beckham predicted in advance to intercept the ball at the feet of Senna's pass to Xavi, and the first long pass helped Michael Owen almost get a one-handed chance, if it weren't for the golden lion king Puyol's desperate shovel, it is estimated that San Cassie would have to face the [Lightning Killer] Owen directly...... After taking advantage of the rainy weather to successfully limit Xavi, Spain's offensive was paralyzed for a while, and England's frequent threatening attacks made it impossible for the matadors fans in the stands to sit still...... At this time, the broadcast camera was surprised to find that Aragonés, who was standing on the sidelines, also made a mysterious gesture...... What does that mean?
