After the French team advanced to the final first, the outside world began to hype the fact that Spain and France would meet in the final.

The major mainstream media in Europe are vying to publish reports on this matter from various angles, and some are analyzing and comparing the strengths and weaknesses of players in various positions of the two teams.

Others conduct a systematic analysis based on the data taken by the two teams in this World Cup, looking for the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams and their different styles.

There is also the media digging deep into the historical feud between these two teams, creating a drama of old enemies meeting.

But now it is confirmed that only the French team has advanced to the final, and the semi-finals on the Spanish side have not yet been played!

But in their eyes, England were like dead men, and although the game was not played, they were sentenced to death early.

This contemptuous attitude made the British quite unhappy.

It's just that as a traditional-stirring stick in Europe, coupled with the unpleasant quarrel between Brexit and the EU a few years ago, the British have a negative image in Europe.

While there are always calls to keep politics out of sports, how is it possible?

Therefore, the systematic ignorance and even contempt of the England team by the major European media is actually deliberate.

No way, who told you that Britain is not welcome!

In view of the collective disparagement of the England team by the media in other European countries, the local media in the United Kingdom have used their influence in the English-speaking world to start cheering for their own teams.

In fact, the quarrel in football about how to deal with Lin Quan has been going on for several years.

In response to these weaknesses of his opponents, Bosque developed two different sets of offensive tactics.

Although there are relatively few successful cases of Lin Quan's defense in football at present, because Lin Quan is more similar to Messi, there are still some games in football that restrict Messi the most.

Bosque is still very old and serious, not inflated to the point of contempt for the England team.

"England were very cautious today, they had five defenders and two midfielders, and they should be ready to play a counter-attack!"

After all, no matter how much you look down on England, you have to win the game first.

But these people still say something different:

"Lin Quan and Messi are the same type of players, to limit his play, you must not wait until he has the ball at his feet, then it will be too late.

This England team is typically top-heavy, with a good quality in midfield and a weak backfield, especially in the midfield and defenders.

Therefore, this trick gradually fell out of use.

But don't be fooled by the opposition formation, the wing-backs on either side of them are speedy players, wing-backs when they are in position to defend, and wingers when they push forward.

"The reason why this trick is ineffective is because Manchester City is very strong as a whole, Lin Quan's role in Manchester City is to be a blaster and a scorer, while in Spain, he has a heavier responsibility, in addition to the above two roles, he also has to act as the team's midfield commander, so to limit his receiving is to limit the organization and scheduling ability of the entire Spanish midfield."

This move also had a certain effect at first, but after that, it was not very effective to use this move again.

As early as 2012, when he was in the Bundesliga, Heynckes' Bayern tried to deal with Lin Quan by cutting off the connection between him and other teammates.

One of the most classic is the 2009-2010 Champions League season, Mourinho's Inter Milan defeated Barcelona in the two games to advance.

……

Before the start of the game, Bosque, Lin Quan and others couldn't help frowning when they saw the formation of their opponents.

This formation highlights a Gou, and with such a heavy army hoarded in the backfield, it will be very uncomfortable for anyone to attack.

The England team respected the Spanish team very much and came up and lined up directly in a 541 formation.

The Times: Spain are not invincible, and one of their biggest holes could be the key to England's victory.

These celebrities are indeed not in vain, and they unanimously pointed out that the key to dealing with the Spanish team is to limit Lin Quan's play.

Jose Mourinho's Inter may seem to outsiders to be nothing more than a group of old and sick people, but they have the last laugh thanks to their excellent defense, especially the restrictions on Messi.

The coaches of national teams and top giants in various countries are bald in their heads for this problem.

Although he felt that the Spanish team had a great hope of advancing to the final, it was indeed a bit too far to think about how to deal with the French team so early.

If you lose to the England team, no matter how beautiful the previous plan is, it will be in vain, and you will even end up with a late season.

July 12, Luzhniki Stadium.

At that time, Barcelona was a real cosmic team, and almost every position in the team was the top players in football at that time.

Gareth Southgate was prompted by the national team and immediately began to look at how to carry out this defensive strategy.

'The in-form Harry Kane was up front as England's lone arrow, followed by Raheem Sterling on the left, Alli and Jesse Lingard at midfield, and Kieran Trip......pier at right wing-back.

However, England's two wing-backs are not as good as the quality, and Spain can play from the flanks.

The exaggerated title of this article has attracted the attention of many readers.

However, Spain's lack of a high-quality striker like Croatia and Belgium has meant they may not be able to make the most of the opposition's weak defenders.

Now that the old thing is brought up again, there is a reason.

The best way to limit it is to keep him out of reach as much as possible, and by cutting off the connection between him and his teammates, he is completely isolated, and as long as Lin Quan has no ball at his feet, the threat he can create will be greatly reduced. ”

……

A back five?

It's an exaggeration!

After Lin Quan joins Manchester City, it is completely ineffective to use this trick to restrict him, and it will even have the opposite effect.

Of course, the volcanic eruption in Iceland that year also helped a little bit.

Although it may sound like nonsense, because it's something that everyone knows.

While Southgate was figuring out how to deal with Spain, Bosque took a closer look at the England team.

But the content of the report is not shoddy, the Times reporter interviewed many famous names in English football, asking them to give advice to the England team, intending to pool their wisdom and gather the best of the best to deal with the Spanish team.

The second semi-final of the 2018 World Cup in Russia is about to start.

The host introduced the starting lineups of the two sides one by one, Spain's lineup did not change much, Iniesta did not start this game and sat on the bench to rest.

Bosque clearly wants him to conserve his fitness, and if the game goes well, then simply don't send him on the field, and if it doesn't go well, replace him in the second half to strengthen the attack.

In short, try to reserve a little more energy for a veteran like him before the final.

This is also something that can't be helped, the midfield of the Spanish team is withering badly, it seems that there are many people who can be used, but there is no one who can replace Iniesta, David Silva can barely be counted as half!

Once the game began, there were no surprises, as Spain quickly took over control of the game and began to attack the British goal.

The opponent retreated very quickly, tied the fence very tightly, and played very conservatively.

The Spaniards tried to attack a couple of times from the middle, but their short penetrations simply couldn't get in.

The opponent's center is too densely populated, and the passing line is easy to be predicted and truncated by the opponent in advance.

Fortunately, the opponent invested a lot of troops in defense, which made the connection between their backfield and midfield not very smooth, and they could not threaten from defense to attack, and soon lost the ball again under the active counter-robbery of the Spanish team.

So the rhythm of the game went back to the rhythm of Spain's attack and England's defense.

Ten minutes into the game were shortly played, and the Spanish side had three shots on goal, but all of them were off target, and not a single shot on target.

England have yet to have a shot on goal and have not even penetrated the 30-metre danger zone very rarely.

But they don't seem to be in a hurry at all and seem to be very happy with the pace of the game now.

On the pitchside, England manager Gareth Southgate was slightly relieved to see his team survive the first 10 minutes.

What he was most worried about was that at the beginning of the game, the players were not focused, their state was not adjusted to the best, and they could not withstand the three axes from the Spanish team.

If he conceded the ball at the beginning, his tactics would be completely ruined.

In the stands, the mentality of the fans on both sides is diametrically opposed at this time.

England fans were thrilled to see their team withstand the opposition's attack, as if they had won the game.

On the other hand, on the Spanish side, their fans frowned and were very worried about the situation on the field.

Although the tactic of defensive counter-attack is generally used by weak teams against strong teams, some teams will also use this tactic to lower their status.

And when the strong team also plays a defensive counterattack, his opponent is quite uncomfortable.

Because the defensive counterattack of the strong team is much more powerful than the weak team.

Not only has the quality of the defense improved dramatically, but the threat of counter-attacks has also changed qualitatively.

The attacker was under tremendous pressure on both ends of the floor, and the kick was uncomfortable.

"Lin!"

"Lin!"

"We need Lin!"

Some fans began calling out Lin Quan's name, hoping that he would step up and change the stalemate.

In the past, after the Spanish team failed to attack, Lin Quan would try to use his personal strength to impact the opponent's defense, help the team tear up the opponent's defense, and finally win the game.

This pattern has been going on a lot and the fans have become accustomed to it.

On the court, Lin Quan does have this plan.

I've tried both long-range shots and set-pieces, but the effect is not very good, so now I have to try to rely on the breakthrough method to see if it works.

In the 13th minute, Lin Quan moved to the side with the ball, and Sterling immediately posted it when he saw this.

Raheem Sterling's physical ability is good, and while he is not a serious defender, his defensive ability is not too bad.

In addition, he is not tall, fast, and flexible, which is suitable for this kind of stalking.

However, as soon as the two took a face-to-face photo, Sterling didn't even see the movements of the other party's feet clearly, and was passed by Lin Quan.

There was a burst of exclamations at the scene, and many fans began to applaud Lin Quan's wonderful masterpiece.

They were a little bored watching the first ten minutes of the game, which made them wonder if they were watching the semi-finals of the World Cup!

It wasn't until they saw Lin Quan's passing this time that they felt right!

That's the taste!

Rush, Lin Huang!

them hard!

The fans' eyes widened excitedly, prepared melon seed drinks, and were ready to appreciate Lin Quan's wonderful actions.

Lin Quan's performance did not disappoint the audience who were ready to watch the play.

Raheem Sterling was over, and Ali and Henderson rushed over immediately.

Both of them are tall, close to 1.9 meters, and belong to the type of players who have outstanding frontal defensive ability, but are not flexible enough on their feet and do not turn fast enough.

Against this type of player, as long as you highlight the word 'fast', you can easily pass them.

Lin Quan didn't bother to use feints, and just swiped the ball diagonally in front of them and then accelerated, passing them.

Ali was passed first, followed by Henderson.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Quan had already passed the opponent's three players.

The exclamations of the fans in the stands grew louder and louder, and the applause grew louder and louder.

Strong, Lin Huang!

Is that what a superstar is capable of?

Sure enough, I didn't lose money on this ticket!

The fans were glad in their hearts and happy that they were able to enjoy such a wonderful scene on the spot.

But Lin Quan on the court couldn't be happy.

As is normal, when he passed the opponent's three defenders in one go, the opponent's defense has basically collapsed, and he has already been given the opportunity to shoot.

But this time it was not the case at all, even after he passed Raheem Sterling, Alli and Henderson, he was still in front of a dense number of defenders, Ashley Young appeared in front of him for the first time, Stones was behind Ashley Young, and Maguire appeared behind Stones.

There are still three defenders in front of him, and they are not isolated three, they all have teammates around to answer and assist.

In this case, let alone a chance to shoot, there is no room to continue to break through.

Because the further you go inside, the less space you have left for him, the denser the opposing defenders will be.

The worst thing is that Ashley Yang stared at Lin Quan like a mad dog.

He used various methods to entangle Lin Quan to the death, so that his side was always in a threatened state.

In this case, if you force a breakthrough, the success rate is very low, and the possibility of being broken by the opponent is extremely high.

And once the ball is lost, teammates in this position can't grab the ball at the first time, and the opponent is likely to launch a counterattack on the spot.

Thinking of this, after weighing the pros and cons, Lin Quan gave up this attack, controlled the ball, and prepared to wait for his teammates to respond.

While waiting for his teammates, he glanced at the opponent's defense line again and couldn't help but sigh:

What a wall of sighs! (End of chapter)
