"At the end of the first half, the score on the field was 2:0, Spain temporarily took the lead over Italy with Lin Quan's two wonderful goals, I think Coach Conte may have to think about how to play in the second half!"

During the intermission, in the commentary box of Italian TV, several commentators began to automatically assume the role of Italy and give advice to Italy.

"In the second half, we must attack, the result of the first half has proved that blindly passive defense will not have good results, if they don't want to stop at the top 16, in the second half must show real skills to fight the opponent!"

"That's right, the back insertion on both sides of us is very powerful, and we have proven ourselves in previous games, and Pelle has a very obvious height advantage in the front, as long as the attack on the wing can be successful, it is easy to create chances to score!"

The height of the Spanish team on the field is an obvious shortcoming, since the skills at your feet can't fight you, then play simply and simply, and use simple and rough ways such as fighting for the body to grab the header to deal with Spain.

It might work wonders!

Conte actually thought of this, so at half-time, he made a point in the dressing room that he would revolve around Pelle next.

Of course, it's not enough to just lay out offensive tactics, and the problems that exist on the defensive end must also be corrected.

"De Rossi, your task is a little heavier in the second half, I want you to watch Iniesta die at the same time, and assist your teammates to help defend Lin Quan as much as possible!"

De Rossi nodded heavily, Lin Quan has a lot of range of movement and will often enter his defensive zone.

Since the manager has a request, then he will naturally go all out to do it well.

"Darmian, I'll bring him on around the 65th minute of the second half, and at the start of the second half, you watch the opponent's number 10 on the bench, and your main task after coming on is to keep an eye on him, and I allow you to use all means, including fouls!"

Damian, who currently plays for Manchester United, immediately lit up when he heard the manager's arrangement.

As a member of the Red Devils, he has been abused by Manchester City in the Premier League.

So Damian has long wanted to find a chance to take revenge on the other party!

Although Damian is not well-known, he is not weak, and he has his own unique personal style.

He is very aggressive defensively and has a penchant for physical confrontation, for which he often fouls and even gets cards in games.

In his first few games at Manchester United, as long as he starts, he will definitely receive a yellow card, which can be called the king of yellow cards!

The reason why Conte didn't dare to start Darmian was because this kid was too fond of cards, and he was worried that if he started Darmian, he would accidentally get two yellow cards, which would put the team in a state of no return.

But if he is used as a substitute, there are no such concerns.

At 65 minutes, if the team equalised, there was no need to risk him.

But if the team is still in the lead, what are you worried about?

Just give it your life!

……

Italy is discussing how to deal with Spain, and on the Spanish side, Bosque is also telling the players not to be careless, to maintain a high level of concentration, and go all out to win this game.

The old coach was very excited at the moment, and Lin Quan's outstanding performance in this game gave him hope of defending the European Cup.

If they do manage to defend their title, Spain will make history by becoming the first team to win the European Championship three times in a row.

And he will make another record in the merit book, and when he retires in the future, even if he doesn't do anything, relying on these honors in the merit book will be enough for him to eat for a long time.

Bosque is already thinking about his own retirement.

He plans to retire after the 2018 World Cup, when he will be 68 years old, and he will be of retirement age.

And at that time, the golden generation of the Spanish team may withdraw from the national team in a large area, and the team needs to be torn down and reset and comprehensively renewed.

He, an old man approaching seventy, didn't have the energy to complete such a big project, so this kind of work was left to the younger, more energetic young coaches.

As for the new coach of Spain after he retired, Bosque actually has an excellent candidate in his heart, and this person is none other than the current manager of Manchester City - Guardiola!

If Spain's glory began with pass-and-control football, then their decline must also be inseparable from pass-and-control football.

As the man who has gone furthest in passing football, Pep Guardiola is undoubtedly the most suitable man to take over the Spanish managership.

And his relationship with Lin Quan also makes it easier for him to get the support of the veteran players, so that he can let go of his hands and feet and do whatever he wants.

Thinking of this, Bosque felt that after this European Championship, he would have to find some time to have a good chat with Guardiola.

Given Pep Guardiola's current success at Manchester City, he will not be reluctant if the other side is not willing to take over the Spanish national team.

Considering that even in 2018, Lin Quan is still very young, with his super personal strength, it is no problem to support Spain for the time being.

When the time comes, it's a big deal for the old coach to grit his teeth and stick to it for a few years, or let Enrique, who was born in Barcelona, take over.

……

The fifteen-minute half-time break ended quickly, the two sides exchanged venues, and the game resumed.

Conte stood on the sidelines after the opening, staring at the Spanish team's every move.

He wanted to judge the opponent's tactics in the second half through the opening movement of the Spanish team.

Will we continue to attack as aggressively as we did in the first half?

Or do you take it when you get an advantage?

The choice of the other party determines whether the tactics of the Italian side can work!

After the start of the second half, Spain's desire to attack seemed to be less strong.

When they got the ball, they fell more in central midfield and passed forward significantly less.

Conte breathed a sigh of relief from the discovery!

Spain's choice of stability is not a bad thing for Italy.

Although it will make it more difficult for Italy to attack, the opponent's desire to attack will also significantly ease the pressure on the Italian backline, allowing them to devote more troops to attack.

After five minutes of the second half, the Stade de France fans began to notice that the Italian side began to attack more often.

In particular, they frequently use Parolo and Giaccherini's back inserts to intersperse, run, and hem in the Spanish rib area.

Italy's forward combination is typical of a tall and tall one-piece combination, with Pelle being tall and physical, which gives him a strong ability to carry the ball with his back.

Eder, on the other hand, is not tall, but he is fast, nimble on his feet, and has excellent finishing ability.

As long as he is given the opportunity, he can see the blood seal his throat and kill him with one blow.

Italy's midfield is indeed not as luxurious as Spain's, so they wisely abandoned the complicated passing of the midfield, and went straight through the midfield quickly and roughly, and then handed the ball to the striker and it was done.

This simple and quick way of playing poses no small threat.

In the previous game against Belgium, Belgium's luxury midfielder was defeated by this tactic of the Italians, and finally lost 0:2 to Italy.

And Italy, which has tasted the sweetness, now obviously wants to replicate the last game on Spain!

In the 58th minute of the second half, Italy launched a counterattack on the left side, De Sciglio dribbled the ball to the bottom, and the inverted triangle passed back to the edge of the penalty area, and Giaccherini, who was inserted behind, shot from a distance, which was saved by De Gea.

In the 63rd minute, Italy counter-attacked again from the flanks, this time lobbing the ball into the box, and Pelle pressed past Spain's centre-back Gerard Pique and leaped high to head home.

It's just a pity that he hit the top and the ball went over the crossbar.

Two minutes later, Italy's attack returned.

De Rossi counter-attacked on the spot after a successful interception, and he quickly slotted the ball straight to Eder, whose shot was blocked by Alba's outstretched leg.

The ball was picked up by Florenz on the perimeter, whose long-range shot bounced off the defender.

Italy's corner was unleashed and Pelle came close to snatching another header under the defence of Pique and Morata.

Fortunately, De Gea predicted the landing point in advance and took the first step to take the ball safely.

The Spanish fans in the stands watched in horror, and the Italian team played very ferociously in this round of offensive, wave after wave, without giving people a chance to breathe at all.

This team is like two teams from the team in the first half.

Many Spanish fans have begun to face up to the strength of this Italian team, although the score on the field is 2:0, but the difference in strength between the two teams may be smaller than this score difference.

With the quality that Italy showed in this match, if they hadn't been unlucky enough to meet Spain early, they would probably have reached the quarter-finals or even the semi-finals!

If the Spanish fans re-examined their opponents because of Italy's wonderful performance, the Italian fans on the other side, as well as a large number of local French fans, were disappointed when they saw Italy's wave after wave of attacks, but still failed to break through the Spanish defense.

Spain's defence was much more tenacious than they thought they would have been, and they were already stunned when Italy used this against Belgium in this way in the last game.

However, in front of Spain, they did not take advantage of much.

Although the momentum of the attack is fierce, it is a big problem to delay the goal, after all, Italy is still behind!

As a result, Italy, which was striving for change, took the lead in completing the substitution.

They replaced wing-back Florenz with the number four Darmian.

This substitution made the fans on the scene, especially the Italian fans, a little confused.

Now that Italy is behind, why change an attacking player and a defensive player?

Florenz had an excellent cross that could make a big difference in attack.

But Darmian doesn't have that ability, his strength is in defense, but now the team needs to score goals, not defend!

"Conte is an old fool, isn't he? I can't understand this substitution at all! ”

"Yes, it's only 65 minutes, Florenz is neither injured nor physically exhausted, and in the counterattack just now, he also sent a good quality cross to Pelle, I really can't understand why Conte replaced him at this time?"

Many fans in the stadium and in front of the TV began to question Conte's substitution, and they couldn't understand Conte's intentions.

However, Spain's coach Bosque, after seeing Conte's substitution, his expression became extremely solemn.

Damian is here to target Rin?

Conte did this in order to completely strangle Spain's counterattack point, so that he could attack Spain without worries?

His suspicions were quickly proved by the fact that after Darmian came on the pitch, Italy's defensive intensity against Lin Quan increased by more than a notch.

This guy is like a mad dog, chasing Lin Quanquan all over the world, and he not only follows closely, trash talk, but also small actions.

Lin Quan is the core of Spain's attack, and his teammates naturally dare not hand the ball to him when they see him being marked so tightly by the opponent.

But in this way, you fell into the trap laid by the Italians.

Lin Quan was keenly aware of this, so he took the initiative to retreat and reached out to ask.

"Ramos, give me the ball!"

Seeing that it was Lin Quan who took the initiative to reach out for the ball, Ramos did not hesitate and immediately passed the ball to him.

Although Lin Quan has a fart by his side, Ramos believes that with Lin Quan's strength, he can completely get rid of the other party.

As soon as Lin Quan was about to catch the ball, Damian immediately leaned in, as if he wanted to launch a sneak attack while he was unprepared.

Lin Quan had already prepared, waiting for this time, when the opponent stretched his feet, he quickly pulled the ball and turned around, and the action was done in one go.

After Damian failed to intercept, he made a decisive foul and dragged Lin Quan down.

Lin Quan didn't waste time lying on the ground, he quickly stood up after being dragged down, ready to send a free kick quickly, and hit the opponent by surprise.

But Damian was prepared, blocked the ball in advance, and even kicked the ball that Lin Quan had placed 'accidentally' away.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was really careless just now!"

The referee did not take out a card for his foul just now, but gave a verbal warning.

Damian is very honest in front of the referee, looking like a good student who recognizes his mistakes and seriously reflects.

Lin Quan, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, also had to admit that this guy was still an acting school.

I just don't know how it compares with Busquets and other top students of La Masia Film and Television Academy?

"Lin, leave this guy to me!"

Seeing that Lin Quan was entangled by this guy, Buskes took the initiative to ask Ying to help Lin Quan.

Hehe, boy, playing with this in front of my old cloth, you're still a little tender!

Lin Quan nodded, not refusing Buskez's kindness.

He doesn't like to use all kinds of small moves, so this kind of opponent should be left to the experienced Buskes!
