Even if you are arrogant as Digan, you have to admit that the Spanish team's offense is absolutely unsolvable in today's world football, so to defeat Spain, you must first be based on defense.

THE TACTICAL STYLE OF SPANISH FOOTBALL IS BORN FROM BARCELONA'S "TIKI-TAKA" TACTIC, TO DEFEND THIS KIND OF POSSESSION OF THE TECHNICAL TEAM, YOU CAN'T FIGHT WITH THE OPPONENT FOR POSSESSION TIME, BECAUSE THAT IS SIMPLY NOT COMPARABLE, THE SPANISH MIDFIELD ATTACK GROUP ALWAYS HAS A WAY TO STOP THE FOOTBALL AT THEIR FEET, EVEN IF THE OPPONENT IS IN POSSESSION OF THE BALL, THEY STILL HAVE A WAY TO MAKE THE OPPONENT RUN THE FOOTBALL THE WAY THEY WANT.

And the defense should also pay attention to the way, and the worst one that has been proven by countless games is to chase the ball and defend, with the greatest physical exertion, and the middle of the ball flow trap, and the defensive void will be turned away by two or three feet, and he will die a miserable death.

Belgium is going to use the man but not the ball, that is, close defense, limiting the flow of the ball and receiving the ball, blocking the passing route as much as possible, this kind of defense is the most effective way to restrain the flow of possession.

This defensive method was invented by the Italians, who almost succeeded in the quarter-finals, and perhaps the Spaniards would not have been where they are today if they had not lost on penalties at the end.

Belgium not only has to learn the Italians' defensive style today, but at the same time, after discussing with Antienes and Degan, on the basis of this man-to-man defense, another defensive strategy has been added - zone defense!

In addition to the strikers placed in the front court, the remaining nine players must be divided into two rows in an orderly manner, forming two lines of defense in front of their own penalty area, not chasing the ball, and not defending the Spaniards outside the striker.

Spain generally rely on possession, move the opposing defenders, open up the defensive gaps, and then attack. What Belgium have to do today is that no matter how Spain passes, they just can't be fooled, just watch their forwards, and the front and door defense must do their own thing, not scattered.

This kind of defence feels a bit like a set-piece wall, where the role of the defence is not to keep an eye on the opponent, but to seal all angles of the goal so that it can be unchanging.

In Digan's previous life, Iraq had used this tactic to restrain Spain, and the result was almost successful, and for most of the game, a group of Spanish stars seemed helpless in front of those nobodies.

Deegan is now going to soften these two tactics and put a super-strengthened version of the iron bucket formation in the final to see if Spain's potential calves can break through.

The tactics have been formulated a long time ago, and what needs to be done now is to limit them one by one according to the eleven players on the field of the Spanish team, according to their tactical characteristics, so that they cannot give full play to their own technical and tactical characteristics, and then see the opportunity to defeat the enemy.

The main goalkeeper of Spain in this game is still the captain Casillas, in today's world football, San Cassie is definitely ranked in the top three of the super-first-class goalkeepers, with him standing in front of the goal, the Spanish team's goal is no different from being locked.

Ramos is at right-back at the back, with excellent physical fitness, height, speed, although he has some impulsiveness in his personality, and when he plays, he often recklessly presses forward, but his defensive and offensive ability is one of the few in world football.

Central defender Marchena, Digan's teammate in Fiorentina, played in the position of a midfielder in Fiorentina, but when he arrived in the Spanish national team, he became the main central defender, not too tall, but the technique at his feet is very good, and he is very fierce when defending, but the speed is a little slower.

Central defender Puyol, for the Barcelona captain, can be evaluated in one sentence, that is: strong ability!

Left-back Capdevilla, a rare left-footed player in the Spanish national team, has speed, strong assist ability, and average defensive ability.

Senna, a defender with strong defensive ability, good physical fitness, and height, as the inheritor of samba football, Senna is completely different from the traditional midfielder, although his attacking ability and organizational ability are not as outstanding as Pirlo's, but he has a powerful long-range shot.

Defender Cesc Fabregas, the king of the chiefs, and Villa's absence due to injury, gave him the opportunity to defend, organize, shoot from a distance, and balance offense and defense.

Central midfielder Xavi, Spain's midfield commander, has a strong sense of the big picture, a strong passing ability, a long-range shooting ability, and most importantly, Xavi can always kill the enemy invisibly without showing the mountains and water.

Fullback Iniesta, with the ability to break through with the ball, the ability to assist, and the ability to attack, Xiaobai is the deputy commander of the Spanish team on the field, and because of Xavi, an all-round player around him, his defensive task is not heavy, and he is completely liberated, his running and passing, as well as his super forward ability, has always been the magic weapon in the hands of Calagones.

Full-back David. Silva, with his dexterity, speed, breakthrough ability and excellent ability to grab points, is also a great weapon for Spain's attack.

Striker Torres, with good technique at his feet and great physical fitness, has height and header ability.

Judging from the characteristics of these eleven men, combined with the situation of the previous five games, we can roughly see Spain's tactical thinking, and the formation position can be roughly understood as 4-2-1-3. The four defenders from right to left are: Ramos, Marchena, Puyol, Capdevilla, two midfielders, Cesc Fabregas on the left, Senna on the right, Xavi in the front, and three forwards Andres Iniesta and David. Silva played on both flanks, with Fernando Torres as a central striker.

In terms of the team's staffing, Spanish coach Calagones' design plan must be to focus on two wings, with the wing as the main breakthrough, and the middle is responsible for sharing the ball and covering in front of the penalty area.

To complicate matters further, Capdevilla and Andres Iniesta took turns attacking the right flank on the left flank, with Cesc Fabregas and Puyol in charge of protecting the left space left by Capdevilla's assist.

The attack on the right side was mainly assisted by Ramos, with David Murphy as the main means. Silva's dribbling broke through, and for the most part, Iista picked up the ball and headed down the middle, attracting opposition defenders and leaving room for Ramos to assist.

Torres in the middle is in the middle, responsible for the transition of the ball, grabbing points and outflanking.

With Xavi at the core in midfield, splitting the ball between the two wide players and passing penetrating through balls for Torres, as well as inserting attacks from behind, Cesc Fabregas and Senna's main task is to defend, one is to protect in front of the penalty area, and the other is to help defend the gaps after the assists of the two full-backs.

Spain's lineup has been a smash hit since 2000, the most critical part of this lineup is the two fullbacks to press the main attack, the advantage of this formation is that while ensuring the attack power, it can also achieve a balance between attack and defense, because 4231 can also be understood as a 451 formation, the configuration of five midfielders can be attacked and defended, how many coaches in the world dream of playing, but it is difficult to gather so many excellent players suitable for this style of play, but Spain has done it.

Italy also wanted to transplant this tactic back then, but it was only half successful, when they had Vieri in the middle, winger Camoranesi, fullback Zambrotta, and Totti in the front, but the other positions were not guaranteed, just like a car, the engine was very strong, the right front and rear tires were Michelin and Pirelli, and the left two tires were madeinchina.

The Spanish team will not have such concerns. Silva is more than capable of attacking from the right, taking the ball on the flank and heading down the middle, as there is full-back Sergio Ramos behind him.

In short, this is the perfect line-up, and there is no other way to restrain Spain, which is regarded as the most advanced tactic in world football, except defense.

Of course, does it mean that Spain is really perfect?

Not exactly!

First of all, Torres's poor form is tangled, the Premier League has consumed too much energy on him, and then it is obviously difficult to play a major tournament such as the European Cup.

There is also the defense of Spain, after five games, Digan and Antienes really found several problems in Spain's defense.

One is that Capdevilla is stronger in attack than in defense, once Spain attacks, Capdevilla must press and cooperate with Iniesta, at this time there is a gap behind him, and it is easy to be counterattacked.

The second is Puyol's physical fitness, which is a big problem, Puyol is 30 years old, although for defensive players, this age is the golden age, but Puyol's physical fitness has always been a great shortcoming, after five high-intensity games, physical fitness will be extremely reduced, the game against Russia, in the face of the impact of the Russians, there have been several mistakes, lost their position, if it were not for the bad luck of the Russians, maybe the Spaniards would not be so easy to pass.

The third is that Marchena often presses the midfield organization, the purpose is to increase the number of midfielders and strengthen the control of the ball, under normal circumstances, Ramos drags behind to protect Marchena's position, but sometimes Ramos also assists, and when he doesn't come back, it is more dangerous.

Therefore, Spain is not invulnerable, the attack lacks a super center forward such as Ruud van Nistelrooy and Drogba, Torres's ability is not bad, but he is not a traditional high school forward, facing the top central defender does not have the ability to take the ball with his back and grab the header, which will weaken his role in the attack.

There is also Spain's strong offensive ability to completely cover up their lack of defense, the essence of the Spanish team's defense lies in a small area of scrambling, making the opponent's pass chaotic, and gaining possession, but Belgium has Naeng and Gul, two players who have the ability to pass the ball, can use a straight line to play behind the back, take the ball and hit behind, do not give the Spanish team a chance to encircle, take advantage of the weakness of Marchena and Puyol's slow turn, the striker quickly forward, looking for opportunities to score.

Even if it is an attack, the Spanish team has a weakness, that is, too many small passes, and the tactics formulated by Digan and Antienes are to disrupt Spain's passing and receiving, and once the ball is broken, the ball is quickly released, focusing on attacking the left side of Capdevilla's defense, and using the gap after Capdevilla's assist to find a killing opportunity.

Belgium's personnel configuration in this game is still three back midfielders, with multi-level high-intensity pressing, to disrupt the rhythm of Spain, harassment in the midfield at any cost, involving the overall formation of Spain, providing buffer time for the defensive arrangement of the team's midfield.

The direct effect of such a tactic is that the game is frequently interrupted, so that the Spaniards can't find their own rhythm at all, of course, this is not Digan came up with it, it was Uncle Bird Mourinho who invented this tactic, Mourinho from Chelsea, Inter Milan to Real Madrid in the previous life is still tried and tested cutting tactics.

This tactic cuts the space and time on the pitch, fragmenting Spain's attack and the game. Of course, this tactic will certainly be described as a sabotage of art football and sexy football by those who are good at talking about it after the game, but it is the only effective way to deal with Spain, whether they look good or not.

The attack is really good, but doesn't the result matter?

Moreover, even if it is an attack, it does not mean that the spectacle of the game can be improved, unless some people lack oxygen in their heads and think that the one-sided game is very enjoyable.

Digan and Antienes will not be stupid, they are both well aware that the common denominator against Spain is that only the Spanish side is in possession, the difference is only in the former case, Spain can still keep scoring, and in the latter case, it is difficult for the Spaniards to bottom.

Calagones obviously guessed how Belgium would deal with Spain in this final, so at the pre-match press conference, the old man kept waging psychological warfare, touting Belgium's attacking ability, and even promoted Digan to the position of the world's best striker, and then said that he would play a vigorous offensive battle with Belgium in the game.

Obviously, the old man didn't have good intentions, and he was afraid that Belgium would use an iron bucket formation against him, so he gave Antienes eye medicine in front of so many reporters.

But this kind of unnutritious psychological warfare is completely pediatric for Antienes, who has a master's degree in psychology: "We will only play according to our ideas!" ”

Immediately, a Spanish reporter provoked: "Will Belgium only set up an iron bucket in the face of Spain?" ”

Antienes shot back with a smile: "No! As I said, we will choose the most suitable and promising way to defeat our opponents! ”

Antienes threw a thousand pounds in four or two, choking Calagones depressed enough, and making the Spanish reporters present also hate itchy.

In this regard, Antienes was very proud in her heart, and said secretly: If you want to take the bait, how can it be so easy, or is what Rhodes said right, where does football come from what bullshit art, only war, even if there is really art, it is also the aesthetics of violence!
