Spain is behind, once again behind Belgium, but unlike in the past, this time, people are not surprised, because no one except the obsessive Platini will continue to think that Spanish football is beautiful and sexy, and their football has been labeled utilitarian.

The concept of "utilitarianism" on the football field is also inseparable from Machiavelli, the author of "The Monarch", and the "utilitarianism" of football is often summarized by some of the playing styles of the Italian national team.

In the football memories of the Spaniards' humiliation, at the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Luis Brown. Enrique's flesh-and-blood face is the evil result of "utilitarianism", and Tasotti, who gave Enrique a ferocious elbow, is the representative of "utilitarianism".

But now, the big hat has fallen on their heads, and of course the Spanish team can't accept such a big hat, they don't do everything to limit their opponents, they don't keep kicking the ball off the pitch during the game time, they don't give the opponent a punch or a stumbling foot from time to time, as Gentille did.

However, in terms of spectacle, the Spaniards are definitely playing football now, and they are definitely ashamed of the fans who still like them, but Spain has not done anything to achieve the goal of winning, they have been playing in the way they have been playing football for decades. They're here to win, and they're not obligated to delight a global audience and provide content to watch football.

However, the world no longer looks at Spain in this way, because in the past four years, although the Spanish national team has not yet won a championship to put on a façade, but their football style has pushed Spanish football to a lofty position that is the only one in the world, and all kinds of requirements and expectations have accumulated on them, they not only need to continue to maintain excellent results, they also need to continue to innovate, and constantly have more and more amazing tactical and technical characteristics, so that the world will continue to fall for them.

In fact, Spain is neither conservative nor utilitarian, they just put the bar too high, and when people are accustomed to the Spanish style of play, which perfectly blends individual skills with overall tactics, they are used to expecting Spain to go further.

In a top tournament such as the European Cup, Spain's primary or only purpose is to win the championship, this is not an exhibition match, let alone a big show for the purpose of entertaining the audience, the Spanish national team is different from Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two aristocratic clubs, each home game is bound to have 15 minutes and 20 minutes, and they must use exquisite performances to satisfy the demanding fans of the whole stadium.

Spain are only here for the champions, and they must find the best way to play and overcome their opponents with the resources available.

Striker formation and hypnotic possession are the best options to maximize their own advantages, and Bosque is very low-key and pragmatic, but it has nothing to do with the big hat of conservative utilitarianism.

It's a pity that most people don't think so, what they want to see is a good game, not hypnotic Dafa.

After the score fell behind, the Spanish team had to start to be more active, but unfortunately their slow passing tactics have seeped into the blood of every player on the field, and it is not easy to reverse this habit in a short period of time.

In the 31st minute, Alba took the ball in the backfield, and had broken through to the Belgian half, but suddenly habitually wanted to pass the ball to his teammates behind him, and when he was about to pass the ball, he suddenly found that something was not quite right, and as a result, the ball was stabbed away by Pocorinho, and after Digan got the ball, he ran all the way and shot hard at the edge of the penalty area to wipe the right post.

Although the ball did not score, it still shocked the Spaniard into a cold sweat.

After a period of stalemate, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and from the first half of the game, the Spanish team was completely controlled by the Belgians.

Unlike the previous games, Spain had a much less advantage in possession in this game, due to the fact that their own passing errors increased greatly, and the Belgians used the fast way that originally belonged to the Spaniards, and let Spain's forward pressing not play much role, so the Matadors significantly reduced their control in the midfield.

For this reason, the Spaniard also used more long balls to try to tear apart the opponent's defense, which is a helpless performance of losing control.

However, long passes have high requirements for the accuracy of the pass and the speed and ability of the center forward, and the Spaniard, who is used to playing on the ground, rarely has accurate long passes, and the pseudo-striker Cesc Fabregas has not shown a clear advantage in speed, nor can he stand up near the penalty area.

It can be said that the Spaniards were completely deceived by their own superstitious tactics!

At the beginning of the second half, Bosque made a substitution adjustment, replacing Cesc Fabregas and replacing a real striker, but, unexpectedly, he did not choose Torres, who has always relied very much, nor did he choose the real high school striker Llorente, but chose the little-known Negredo!

What is this for?

Suicide?

When Negredo squeezed out Soldado to be selected for the European Championship, it caused huge controversy, and Bosque chose Negredo at this time, obviously because he was a lucky player, and Spain won all of the 11 national team games he participated in.

In the warm-up matches before the European Championship, Negredo also scored and performed well, but these historical data are not used now, and after Negredo came on the field, the cooperation with his teammates was very rusty, and there were few opportunities to get the ball, let alone create a threat.

In the 49th minute, Andres Iniesta sent a very beautiful pass, but unfortunately Negredo did not receive it, exposing the weakness of consciousness that does not fit well with his teammates.

Three minutes later, his team-mates tried to play a one-two with him up front, only for Negredo's outside pass to go straight to the opposition.

In the 56th minute, Silva and Andres Iniesta combined skillfully and sent the ball into the box, but Negredo, who he expected to answer, did not activate at all, and stood at the back and watched, and a good chance was wasted.

After Bosque saw the situation unfavorable, and after the substitution of Pedro and Keylor Navas, the situation of the Spaniard improved slightly, but it did not change substantially, although the two of them worked together more closely with their team-mates than Negredo.

However, Spain were already very tired and difficult to organise an effective attack, and before the semi-finals, Spain had two fewer breaks than Belgium, which is undoubtedly a huge advantage for a team that plays to the final stage of this kind of tournament game.

In the 78th minute, the Belgian's chance came again, Hazard passed the ball, and after Digan was offside, he pushed and extended the lead to two goals.

At this point, it can basically be concluded that Spain is finished!

Originally, before the start of this game, the fans were even ready for the two teams to break the single-game goal record of this European Cup, Belgium played this rhythm, but helplessly, the Spanish team was too poisoned, obsessed with passing, they passed from No. 1 to No. 2, No. 2 to No. 3, and so on, but let them forget the essential purpose of football to score one by one.

A beautiful football game was lost in the midst of Spain's caution and Belgium's ferocious pressing, the latter's "butcher's" style of play was understandable, and everyone knew that this was the only effective way for the world to deal with Spain.

However, Spain's over-the-top caution made the game a pitiful affair compared to Italy and England, who also played 0-0 in the 90 minutes.

In a game that could not be missed, facing an old rival with a deep vendetta, the Spaniard suddenly lost the courage to send the ball into the opponent's penalty area, and even disregarded his usual elegance, choosing a conservative way to let himself be saddled with the infamy of betraying beautiful football.

Although the game is not over yet, I believe that everyone will not think that the Spaniards still have a chance, and at the same time, because of this game, the number of people who hate their way of playing will probably increase exponentially, and Spain's random back and forth feet are ruthlessly strangling the last beauty of beautiful football.

Of course, Belgium has no need to let go of such an opponent, and they have no reason to let Spain leave with dignity, Spain is tired and wants to breathe a sigh of relief, but Belgium does not agree, their speed is getting faster and faster, faster and faster.

In the 80th minute, Belgium attacked the Spanish half again, and after Digan took the ball, he shook off Busquets' defence with a light touch, and then took the ball forward.

Seeing this, Busquets immediately covered his face and fell to the ground, rolling on the ground constantly, and the miserable appearance made people can't help but think that he was broken.

It's a pity that the referee saw it too clearly, and when Digan passed just now, he didn't even raise his arm, and finally came to the conclusion that the air was pasted on Busquets's face.

Seeing that the referee had no intention of stopping the game, Busquets quickly got up again, and this miracle of resurrection with full blood on the spot made the Belgian fans at the scene suddenly boo.

The Spanish fans also bowed their heads and covered their faces, they really didn't have the face to continue to stay here, and some fans had already left early.

At this moment, Deegan suddenly shot at goal, completely ignoring Pique's defense, and the football flew past Pique's side as if it had eyes, and Casillas was blocked by Pique's vision, and he didn't have time to react, so he could only watch the football fly into the net.

3：0！

By this time the game had been played, the suspense had been completely over!
