Grandstand corner.

A child pointed to the Czech exclusion zone and asked curiously: "Dad, why is that man wearing a hat?" ”

The man was slightly surprised, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "He's afraid of the cold." ”

In a Premier League match in 2006, Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech suffered a fractured skull and was in a collision with death.

The game is getting duller.

Spain frantically "fell to their feet" in front of the Czech penalty area.

Cech calmly commanded the defensive line.

Morata and David Silva tugged wildly.

Iniesta had to play an important role in the organizational tandem, as Isco was very similar to his position.

"The defensive formation is too dense."

'The Czech team today was very Chelsea.'

'The spacing between all the players is very good.

"The Spanish team still can't find a flaw, after the loss of Xavi, the Spanish team's passing and control system lacks overall rhythm changes!"

"A meaningless pass can't threaten the Czech goal!"

24th minute of the game.

Spain forced an increase in front.

The ball raced past the feet of Andres Iniesta and David Silva, tearing at the opposition's dense defence like a tightrope.

Cazorla, who pulled to the side, gently lifted his foot and picked it up.

The ball finally turned into a graceful arc and leaped over Morata's head!

How can the cake made by the three midfield masters vomit?

"Alvaro Morata is in such a good position!"

"Perfect timing!"

"Look at the ball!"

Morata who doesn't use his feet is simply a forward BUG.

The Czech team, a group of veterans of the Bundesliga and French Ligue 1, can't keep up with his rhythm at all.

The Spanish fans in the stands started celebrating early!

Czech restricted area.

Morata leaped high and shook his head.

The ball slammed into the bottom left corner of the Czech goal.

Mignano's joy was palpable.

Verba was so nervous that she hunched over her knees.

Alvaro Morata's header never disappoints!

Petr Cech has sequelae in his right arm.

The whole Premier League grabbed him for this weakness and beat him.

I can't beat it.

There was a burst of exclamations at the Atlantic Stadium.

Cech slid down with lightning speed and slid the ball off the line with his right foot!

Morata patted his forehead and stomped his foot helplessly.

"Beautiful!"

"Petr Cech used his own stump to block the Spanish team's must-have goal!"

"It's hard to imagine that a 34-year-old veteran is still improving and correcting his weaknesses!"

"His only flaw is that he is not domineering enough to be the spiritual leader of the Czech team."

He Wei hurriedly stabbed Duan Xuan.

Even if they are not domineering enough, they are the top goalkeepers in the history of the Champions League.

Live room.

-

[Cech is worthy of being the father of Arsenal's defenders.] 】

-

[It was the Czech players' defensive positioning that was good, and Morata's attacking position was expected, so Cech's save was not so difficult. 】

-

[Cech is one of the people who knows the meaning of the "Muslim bus" best, and the goalkeeper position has a wide field of vision, which is convenient for directing the backline. 】

-

[Spain's kick and pass control is not good, without Xavi there will be no rhythm change, and the chances that have been created with great difficulty will not be able to pass the level of Cech! ] 】

-

[This game is estimated to be a draw.] 】

-

[The Italian team is much smarter! ] Without Pirlo, he directly gave up midfield control and transition, pressed forward with the center of gravity when attacking, and retreated to assist the two elders of Xuan Ming and Buffon when defending! 】

-

[Italy is now behind Northern Ireland.] 】

-

[You don't understand, this is Bosque's strategy: health play. 】

Mignano kept running anxiously.

The coaching staff on and off the pitch were busy delivering the news.

"Boss, if we finish first in the group, there is a good chance that we will meet Portugal and Belgium will be behind?"

Bosque smiled and patted the little assistant coach on the shoulder: "Don't panic, do what you can control." ”

"What we can control at the moment. Win the game at the lowest cost? ”

Bosque nodded and sat back in the dugout.

His coaching career has been nothing short of perfect.

At club level: Led Real Madrid to two Champions League trophies, beating Leverkusen in '02.

At the national team level: In the eight years he coached the Spanish national team, the winning rate was as high as 76.32%, and he joined hands with the peak matador dynasty to build the first team in history to defend the European Cup and the first team to win three consecutive international tournaments.

The 2014 World Cup brought too much shame, and this European Championship is his last journey before retirement.

Bench.

Diego Costa was bored.

He's pretty sure he won't be in the game this time.

Because previous tournaments have proved that his foot skills are not up to the requirements of the transmission and control system.

Saul, along with Cork and De Gea, were also on the bench.

"Lee, we will soon have a new luxury stadium at Atletico Madrid!"

"Lee, Atletico have a lot of training intensity, La Liga taxes are too heavy and we have a jacuzzi in the dressing room at Old Trafford."

"We also have a jacuzzi!"

Li Kang nodded.

Then he turned his gaze back to the green field.

He couldn't help but wonder how he would play to his teammates in the knockout stages if he was a team that was good at positional defense.

The ball was rolling on the edge of the Czech penalty area, but it was slow to threaten the goal again.

Iniesta's long-range shot and Isco's cross-cutting and vertical cut-out were both blocked by experienced Bundesliga veterans.

What about David Silva?

Every time he picked up the ball on the flanks, he was defended by three Czechs.

The slow version of Messi is never Messi himself.

There is no way to easily make that kind of feat of "sudden explosion" to break the defense line.

What about Morata?

Incognito.

Atlantic Stadium is like a huge library.

Fans on both sides looked at the dreary situation and regretted the ticket money in their hearts.

The Czechs had a couple of good chances to counter-attack.

Rosicky was always the first to tear down Spain's high post with long balls.

It is the "football Mozart" who made a name for himself in Dortmund and Arsenal!

He used to interpret elegance and lightness in European football, and he suffered from serious injuries.

It's a pity that the teammates on the front line are too vegetable.

The strength of Neshid and others is limited.

Even if they received a pass, they couldn't get past the interceptions of Ramos and Pique.

Even a distracted Pique can easily complete the blocking and destruction.

In the 93rd minute of the game, the last minute of stoppage time.

Morata pulls out a gap outside the penalty area!

An all-round striker, stealth is a big move.

Cazorla knocked the ball through.

"Morata is a great runner."

"The attention of the Czechs is declining, what a chance."

"It's coming!"

Morata didn't stop the ball.

Aim for the top right corner of the goal.

Shoot with your feet!

Syllable!

The moment when the football arcs.

Cech moved.

He predicted the direction of the shot, volleyed sideways, and made a precise block with his left fist!

The course of the soccer ball was changed and smashed on the head of teammate Siwalker and bounced into the net!

1:0！！！

"Oops!"

"Own goal!"

"The Czechs held out for 93 minutes and were not breached by their opponents, but they were knocked open by their own men!"

"Morata! He created a last-minute danger and killed the game! ”

"With three consecutive wins, the Spanish team has locked up the top spot in the group stage!"

Morata rushed to the corner flag area and slapped his chest excitedly.

Cazorla and the others excitedly surrounded him.

The players on the bench also stood up excitedly.

The referee looked at his watch.

Beep! Beep~

The whistle blew for the end of the game.

Petr Cech took off his tank hat and comforted his team-mate who had scored an own goal.

He was open-minded.

When I was a child, my family was poor and couldn't afford expensive ice hockey equipment, so I had to give up my dream and play football instead.

The result has won many accolades at club level.

Premier League clean sheet record.

Three golden gloves in the Premier League.

Premier League champions.

Champions League winners.

National. Even the golden generation of the Czech Republic is always so bad.

This is his fourth European Cup.

At the beginning of the century, Cech, who was not sealed by the hat, was able to compete with Buffon for the world's number one goalkeeper.

Compared to the red flags swaying wildly in the stands.

The Spanish coaching staff couldn't laugh.

Mignano panicked: "Boss. Our opponent in the knockout round is Italy! ”

Bosque was smiling and clapping, and when he heard the news, his face did not change.

"Have a fearless heart."

"In this game, most of our main members of Li got valuable rest and adjustment time."

"It shouldn't be us who are afraid, it's Italy!"

A moment later.

Li Kang and his teammates left the field and walked into the players' tunnel.

Alvaro Morata is also being interviewed by journalists from various places.

"Luck is part of football and if Lee had been on the pitch, the game would have lost suspense much earlier."

"You're asking about the knockouts? Well. I love Juventus Italy with a Juventus defence and goalkeepers, but they don't have a Juventus striker. ”

Lille.

The city, famous for its seafood, has not become a blessed land for Italians.

Conte overturned.

He couldn't control his emotions and frantically pounded the turf.

Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini sat on the bench with numb expressions.

Watching the younger generations being ravaged by Northern Ireland.

"Poor little ones"

"Okay, have pity on ourselves, in the 1/8 knockout round, we may encounter Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea!"

'Cech was eliminated? You don't say a word? ”

"Say what? Schmeichel's sons are all Premier League titles! ”

Every once in a while, the question of "who is the world's gate" will always lead to a heated debate.

In 1996, Buffon and Schmeichel.

In 2004, Buffon and Cech.

In 2010, Buffon and Cassie.

In 2014, Buffon and Neuer.

It's night.

The results of the round of 16 of the European Cup are officially released!

Top Half A:

Switzerland VS Poland.

Croatia vs Portugal.

Top Half B:

Wales vs Northern Ireland.

Hungary VS Belgium.

Lower Half A:

Germany VS Slovakia.

Spain vs Italy.

Lower Half B:

France vs Ireland.

England vs Iceland.

The news quickly became a hot search on the Internet.

The number of comments, likes, and retweets has skyrocketed.

-

[What hellish difficulty is the lower half?] The best teams in Europe have all come together! 】

-

What does this partition mean? Don't you have to draw lots like in the Champions League? 】

-

[In the knockout stage of the national team's major cup competition, there is generally no need to draw lots, for example: suppose Spain defeats Italy, then you will have to face the winner between Germany and Slovakia! 】

-

[Suppose Spain comes out of the encirclement, they will face the winners of the four teams of France, Ireland, England, and Iceland, win all the way, and finally reach the final, and the opponent is the final winner of the top half of the zone!] 】

-

[Spain is simply hellish difficulty, you have to play a strong team all the way! ] 】

-

[From another angle, when other teams encounter Li Mingdeng, it is the difficulty of hell]

Île de la Ré, France.

Spanish station, tactical room.

Bosque asked the entire team to attend the meeting.

The large screen projects a hot image of the First World War with the Czechs.

"If we insist on passing and playing, we lack a change in pace and tempo!"

"Eight of our attacks were destroyed by a simple lateral shift by the opponent!"

'It's too slow, they always have a numerical advantage in the flanks and cut off our passing links.

"This game, although we won by luck, made us feel like we were back in the embarrassing situation of the 2014 group stage."

"The two statistics of possession and the number of passes are meaningless in the face of the scoreline."

"Italy's defensive system is far superior to that of the Czech Republic. What do we do to break down their goals? ”

Picture everything.

Members of the coaching staff began to review Italy's first two rounds of the group stage.

Andres Iniesta and Busquets looked at each other.

They already knew, but they didn't want to admit it in their hearts:

Perhaps the fall of the peak Matador dynasty is not just because of Harvey and the aging of the squad.

But after the achievement of a tactic is reached to the extreme, it will inevitably be studied and overcome in the simplest and most efficient way.

Li Kang watched the Italian game in advance.

He also saw two old friends in the video: Buffon and De Rossi.

Conte has also shown his strength in the squad: no Pirlo, no Totti, no Verratti, no Marchisio, no Balotelli.

Even the purple bebes, green bebes, and red bebes who are active in Serie A are unable to be selected due to various injuries.

But it doesn't mean that this civilian Italian team is very good, Conte's mature three-center-back system is very compatible with the Juventus defensive team.

God's perspective.

Slowly reviewing the details of the Italian team's game.

The shadows in the brain spread wildly.

In an instant, a three-dimensional map was formed.

3-5-2 formation.

Three centre-backs who rotate the ball.

De Rossi dragged behind, Parolo tandem.

Florench's asymmetrical attack with Candreva.

All the information is crazy and floods the brain.

A moment later.

The coaching staff just finished analysing Italy's tactical system.

Cazorla and David Silva and others have lingering palpitations.

If they continue with the line-up they did against the Czech Republic, Spain will surely fall in front of the Azzurri.

It's very likely that you'll lose decently.

Saul and Koke frowned, having played Juventus in the Champions League for Atletico Madrid: this guy named Conte seems to be much better than Allegri.

Diego Costa yawned.

Isco turned his head to look at Li Kang from time to time.

Morata looked puzzled: The two elders of the Italian team and Buffon are different from the club!

Bosque tapped the table lightly and said seriously: "It's Italy that is afraid." ”

It's too late to work overtime, so let's see if I can find time to make up the word count tomorrow, sorry, sorry
