In the England dressing room, Wan Sheng looked at everyone seriously. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For most of the first half, the team's overall performance was not good, which was related to the tension of the whole team facing the final, whether it was Morris, Gerrard, Ashley Cole and other veterans, or Ashley Young and other team stars, in the face of the final mentality, somewhat unstable, so the team's overall performance was affected.

Faced with this situation, Wansheng has some headaches.

The players in front of them are not lacking in fighting spirit, there is no lack of newness in the penalty area, and there is a lot of game experience and experience, but they may be used to the weakness of the England team, and they never thought that the team would actually reach the final.

There is something to be seen in the attitude of the FA.

Before the European Cup, the FA's plan was only to the quarterfinals, and there was no follow-up at all, most people believe that even if the England team qualifies from the group, it will be difficult to enter the semi-finals again, and there will be some confusion without preparation.

The same goes for the players.

Before the European Championship, they vowed to fight for the title, but everyone has their own opinion in their hearts, and in their opinion, the team is also very difficult to pass the quarterfinals, where would they have thought that the team could reach the semi-finals, and even beat the German team to reach the final?

So now in the finals, they start to get nervous.

It was perhaps not until Spain scored their first goal that they came to their senses and became much more composed, which was why they were solid in the final stages of the first half.

Everyone wants to win, and in the face of falling behind, everyone has unwillingness in their eyes.

That's the good side.

Wan Sheng can see this, and he still has a lot of confidence in the game.

When I saw the players bow their heads one by one and didn't dare to raise their heads to look at each other, Wansheng's serious face stretched out and turned into a kind smile on weekdays.

"Heads up, you're not children who make mistakes!"

This sentence made many people laugh out loud, even Gary Neville next to him, he felt that Wansheng's analogy was really meaningful, and it was so 'sarcastic' that everyone immediately looked up.

"I was going to talk about the first half, but when I saw the way you guys, I knew it wasn't a good idea. You must be thinking about the game, right? You guys were terrible, terrible, I wasn't prepared for anything, but we haven't lost yet and we have 45 minutes left! If you know that there is something wrong with your performance, you have to correct it, just like you made a mistake and don't make it again. ”

'We were down by one goal, it would have been good to tie and I hope in the second half everyone will be able to play normally.'

Wan Sheng's tone didn't care at all, as if the team had tied the score, "Before the game started, most people were not optimistic about us, now I don't have to watch it at all, I will know what the media says, they will definitely say that there is no suspense in the game, Spain will definitely win and so on, many people see it this way, the Spanish team is indeed very strong, you have already experienced it, right?" ”

"I don't say this to emphasize the strength of the opponent, but to let you know where we stand."

"Compared to our opponents, we are the weaker side, the weaker side, so you must not be convinced, but this is the truth. But in football, the big team is never guaranteed to win, remember the match between Liverpool and AC Milan in 2005? AC Milan were strong at the time and it was accepted that Liverpool were sure to lose, and they also conceded three goals in the first half. ”

'Now we're going to do the same thing with Liverpool, not to chase three goals in a row, that's not practical, it's to take every opportunity! Whenever you have the chance, you have to take it, and no matter what the game throws, you have to keep going until the last minute. ”

"That's what I'm going to say and that's what you're going to do in the second half."

Then Wan Sheng began to arrange the second half of the play, of course he will not let the team play, even if the team is very combative, but the opponent is the same, no one will give up the championship, under the temptation of the trophy, everyone will do their best, expecting the Spanish team to be like AC Milan, make careless mistakes to give the opponent three chances in a row, it is unrealistic, the hope is too slim, Wan Sheng prefers to take the hope of victory in his own hands.

――――

In the Spanish dressing room, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.

Head coach Bosque only spoke a couple of words and the rest of the time was left to rest for the players, many of whom talked about the game and even about the award ceremony.

The first half was too easy and they felt like the team would definitely win.

It was a stress-free final!

Although the Spanish players seem to be a little too lightly attacked, in fact, they have experienced too many finals, in fact, it is not a big deal, whether it is the World Cup in South Africa two years ago, or the European Championship four years ago, the finals for them are easier to play and easier to win.

It's the same now.

They are fully qualified to think so.

At the same time, reporters and commentators in the media gallery were also talking about the game.

In the first half, England had no chance at all, Spain not only achieved a pressure on the situation, but also achieved a score advantage, the performance of the two teams was not at the same level at all, and it is conceivable what the media reporters will say.

"This may be another final without suspense!"

"Spain is too strong! England defeated Germany, but compared with Spain, the gap is still quite large! ”

"It's a miracle that England can reach the final!"

"England made history by reaching the final, they can leave Ukraine with their heads held high and they will be welcomed by the fans when they return to England!"

"The trophy is definitely Spanish!"

"It's a shame that Spain dominate European football and even world football, and they were expected to challenge their ...... England"

The British media is relatively silent, they talk more about which player did not play well in the first half, why the team is so passive, some attribute this to the passive style of play, some attribute it to the overall technical level of the England team, but in any case, they are not optimistic that the England team can turn the situation back in the second half.

Amid the media talk, fifteen minutes passed after the break, and the players of both teams returned to the field of play to start the second half of the game.

The Spaniards came back to the pitch with ease, they had nothing to worry about, and some felt that the only question in the second half was, "How many goals can we score?" ”

Even the strict head coach Bosque didn't think anything could go wrong with the game, he thought about many aspects but didn't think of any other chance for his opponent to win.

The whole Spanish team entered the game with a relaxed mentality, which also allowed them to play quite freely, and then their performances improved, but what they didn't expect was that Xavi's dribbling was cut off at the beginning of the game.

Harvey?

The 33-year-old veteran Xavi is definitely the most stable player in the Spanish team, in regular games, Xavi is rarely cut off by the opponent, but this time he was a little leisurely forward with the ball, but was directly cut off by Morris.

The two are old rivals in La Liga.

Harvey also felt the strength of Morris's technology again!

After Morris broke the ball, England launched a quick counterattack, Ashley Young and Rooney on the wing twice combined to hit the ball in front of goal, but unfortunately Rooney was very tightly defended, he took the ball at the edge of the penalty area, but was directly tackled by the opposing defender.

England's counter-attack was cut off.

The sudden counter-attack was still very threatening, as the commentator said, "England suddenly launched a counter-attack, they seemed to have stepped up the attack. And rightfully so, with a goal down they have no other options. ”

The Spanish team didn't care, just now Xavi suddenly lost the goal, or rather, it was a sudden outburst of the opposing team's core players, and it didn't pose a threat.

In their eyes, it was just an accident and Rooney didn't get a chance in front of the penalty area, so it was nothing at all.

Soon Spain launched a second wave of offensives.

What they didn't expect was that when the ball crossed the halfway line, it was tackled again, this time it was David Silva's pass to the wing, which was directly intercepted by Ashley Young, and the Spanish team rushed back to defence and they were somewhat aware of the threat.

"England stepped up their running and scrambling!"

Anyone can see what's going on.

At halftime, Wansheng's explanation of tactics, the focus is still on defense, an important concept is: the defense moves forward, and can not organize a tight defense in front of the penalty area, so that the team is difficult to have any good opportunities for counterattack, but in doing so, the defensive intensity will decrease, which will give Spain a chance, but the football game is actually a gamble, there is no perfect tactic, if you want to strengthen the offensive, you must sacrifice part of the defense.

Wansheng is all about gambling!

England defended forward, built up a tight defence at the mid-line, and increased the movement of their players, which made Spain somewhat uncomfortable, as they were used to the rhythm of the first half, and the sudden adjustment of the opposition made them need to be more cautious.

The first five minutes of the second half were England's time to play.

Spain's successive attacks were cut off, forcing them to shrink their defences and retreat, their passing was restricted, and the midfield became a key position to fight for, but as Spain got used to it, it was difficult for England to play any advantage.

Spain coach Bosque was in his position, and he didn't even move.

Looking at the game on the field, the corners of Bosque's mouth showed a touch of disdain, England just moved forward defensively, and it was almost impossible to regain the advantage of the game.

This will give Spain a chance.

Just as Bosque thought, in the 56th minute, Spain launched an attack on the wing, and David Silva took the ball and stabbed straight into the box. England strengthened the scramble in the middle line, and the defense near the penalty area was sparse, and Cesc Fabregas rushed to the penalty area and almost grabbed the position!

If Cesc Fabregas had the shot, it would have been a must-score, but Lescott defended solidly and kicked the ball off the line first.

England fans let out a long breath as they started worrying about the goal again.

Wan Sheng saw Spain's attack, behaved very indifferently, and seemed to take it seriously at all, in fact, when arranging the tactical play in the second half, he was mentally prepared for it.

That's the price of moving forward defensively, or strengthening the offense!

Fortunately, Cesc Fabregas failed to score, and he has not lost this bet yet, and the next thing will depend on the performance of both sides.
