The interesting thing about the tournament system is that it's one ring after another.

One game in three days, three in the group stage, and it won't give you any respite at all.

Therefore, Yang Hao told him before the game that it was very important to play the first game well.

It's the equivalent of buttoning the first button.

Spain solved it well, and France solved it badly.

After playing from Innsbruck, the Spaniards returned to the base, the players went back to rest, and Yang Hao and the coaching staff sat down for a meeting, not only to discuss the pros and cons of this game, but also to analyze the opponents in the next game.

France.

Mendiodo was in charge of the team's scouting department when he was at Atletico, and he was also responsible for scouting players and spying on opponents in the national team.

In the match between France and Portugal, Spain arranged for two experienced scouts to be on the spot.

Yang Hao and others got the most detailed game analysis report as soon as possible.

Somewhat similar to the situation in Italy, France is now facing a problem with metabolism.

Thuram, Kupe, Makelele, Vière, LS Nior and Gallas and other old players are now in their thirties, and after Zidane's retirement, the French team has no one to replace Zidane in midfield.

In response to this situation of the French team, Domenech was actually prepared for a long time.

On the one hand, he has recruited a large number of young players, such as Tulalang, Benzema, Franck Ribery, Malouda, Las Diarra, Nasri and other new internationals into the team, further injecting fresh blood.

That's the right idea.

But the key question is, how to effectively adjust the team's tactical play.

France coach Domenech is seriously lacking in self-confidence.

France's results in the European Championship qualifiers can only be regarded as average, with 8 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in 12 games.

They had good luck, with Scottish, Ukraine, Lithuania, Georgia and the Faroe Islands running into Scotland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Georgia and the Faroe Islands, while France were most often in the qualifiers for a big run against the underdogs, scoring four or five or six goals at every turn.

What about the slightly stronger ones?

The home and away games were 0-1 defeats to Scotland, the 2-2 draw away to Ukraine, and the home and away games against Lithuania were not particularly ideal.

Throughout the qualifiers, France's best game was a 3-1 home win over Italy.

But beware, this is a qualifier.

And what about the official European Championship?

The intensity is much higher than in qualifying, and in this case, Domenech has some struggles.

Henry's playing time at Barcelona has plummeted, and his performance is not as good as before, after all, the age is there.

The backline is a bit old, but the new young centre-backs, such as Squeerage and Mexes, are not reassuring enough to be a big player for the time being.

After a back and forth, Domenech lined up a backline combination of Abidal, Gallas, Thuram and Sagnol.

Evra, one might ask?

The left wing-back, who is the world's No. 1, doesn't even have a chance to play?

This is where Domenech's gains and losses come in.

Patrice Evra has been a regular but was replaced by Abidal in this game because he defended better.

Not only that, Domenech also changed the tactics of the French team from the original 442 double strikers to a 4231 formation.

In midfield, Claude Makelele partnered Tulalang, up front by Malouda, Karim Benzema and Franck Franchi, and up front was Nicolas Anelka.

Seeing this, everyone will have a doubt, why does Benzema play in the front midfield?

Why is Nicolas Anelka playing as a central striker?

In this set of 4231, the number ten forward and center forward are crucial.

Yang Hao could probably guess the entanglement and worry in Domenech's heart.

Benzema is too young.

If Benzema is asked to play as a central striker, he is worried that he will not be able to bear it.

The combination of Benzema and Anelka is more like a two-striker forward and a tandem behind him, and in this regard, Benzema is indeed more suitable than Anelka.

But what about the effect?

After the 2-0 defeat to Portugal, the problem that came to light was that there was no one in the midfield to organise and get the ball.

Makelle and Tulalang simply couldn't afford it.

Francois Ribery's only player with the ball and playmaking was Franck Franchi, but he was pulled to the wing.

When Portugal confined Ribery to the right flank, France's entire midfield was paralyzed.

In the case of not daring to risk using Patrice Evra, relying on a Malouda on the left side to rush away from Portugal's right side of the defense?

In the end, the result was that the French team played very badly throughout the game.

If, according to Domenech's previous thinking, Benzema and Nicolas Anelka were two strikers in attack, then Malouda and Franck Ribery should actively recycle to the flanks, even in the middle, and give up the two wings for the full-backs.

In this case, the double back of Makelele and Tulalang will be necessary.

But it is clear that neither Abidal nor Sagnol are actively pressing.

Ultimately, Domenech is too conservative.

When you have a world-class attacking left wing-back like Patrice Evra on the bench and you don't dare to use it, you tell your players, you have to press aggressively?

Isn't that?

The players themselves are very observant of what is going on in your manager's mind, they will guess.

Not only that, but judging by this game against Portugal, both Anelka and Benzema will hardly be satisfied.

……

"The most fundamental reason for the current situation of the French team is that after Zidane's retirement, the team is seriously lacking a core!"

Yang Hao pointed out the problem sharply.

The core here is not just one person, but also a group of people, a philosophy, a set of playing styles.

Although Zidane is gone, the old batch is still there.

Let Ribery replace Zinedine Zidane?

Is it realistic that the whole team revolves around Ribery?

Henry, Thuram, Makelle and others, convinced?

It is precisely because of the lack of a core that the French team suffers from gains and losses at critical moments.

"The situation is extremely unfavorable for the French team, they have to win the next two games!" Yang Hao analyzed the situation of the French team.

That's where the fun of the tournament system comes in.

There are only 3 games in the group stage, and if you lose the first round, you must win the remaining two rounds, otherwise, you will be eliminated in the group stage.

That means that after losing to Portugal, France will put a shackle on themselves, and they must win against Spain and Italy, otherwise, they will not want to qualify.

But there are only 3 days left.

The French team simply didn't have time to think slowly and deliberately.

Domenech even had to make a decision tonight.

Regression 442?

No.

Although many media and fans now think that the 442 that scored five or six goals at every turn in the qualifiers looks beautiful, in fact, it is a tactical way to deal with weak rookies.

Domenech himself knew in his heart that if he used that set of 442 to play in the European Cup, they would die even worse.

That's to continue 4231, and it has to be an offensive 4231.

Extending this line of thought, many problems will be solved.

'It's not going to work on the wings, Patrice Evra will start in place of Abidal.'

"The midfielder can't move the double back, which is the guarantee of defense, which further clarifies the 4231 tactic, and there is only one person suitable for the No. 10 position at the moment, Ribery!"

"Nasri is not qualified to do so right now, and he is not qualified to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility."

"All that's left is on the right, Anelka or Govu."

'Judging by the first game, it should be Thierry Henry back up front.

Yang Hao speculated that the entire starting lineup of the French team was actually about the same.

And at that moment, a thought flashed through Yang Hao's mind.

Will Domenech be a spoof of Real Madrid's Las Diarra in the No.10 position?

But the thought was hilarious even to him.

"Let's play Marcos Senna in the next game." Yang Hao admonished.

Whether it's Ribery or Nasri, Marcos Senna will be more sure to go up.

Yang Hao knows Senna's defensive ability well, and he believes that Senna can freeze Ribery or others.

'Then there's a training session and a set-piece attack, which has always been France's weak point, and we have Ramos, Puyol and Pepe, so we can play a dozen.

Parales recorded what Yang Hao said on the side, and then compiled it into a meeting minutes and sent it directly to the group.

"It's the French team that's in a hurry now, so let's see what the opponent thinks."

After defeating Italy in the first game, Yang Hao now holds the initiative, what are you afraid of?

……

On the evening of June 14, the new Tivoli Stadium in Innsbruck.

In the second round of the group stage of the European Cup, Spain played France.

At the whistle of German referee Herbert vandel, the game officially began.

Thierry Henry quickly played the ball past Franck Ribery, who flicked it back to Tulalang and then to Patrice Evra on the left.

The French team tried to play an attack from the start.

Patrice Evra was very positive, facing the up-and-coming of former team-mate Villa, switching inside near the halfway line and dribbling into the Spanish half, delivering a through ball on the left flank.

The ball was given to the front, at the feet of Henry, who was facing away from the attack, the French striker leaned on Pepe, just stopped the ball, and before he turned around, Pepe went straight out and tackled the ball.

The ball fell to the feet of Spain.

Yang Hao stood on the sidelines and clearly saw that the French team wearing blue jerseys quickly pressed up and actively participated in the pressing in the front court, which clearly showed the attitude of the French team.

They just want to use the opening to create some advantage.

This game, they have to win!

If they can't win this battle, when the group stage is over, they will roll up and go home!

Compared to the aggressiveness of the French team, Spain played more cautiously.

Or rather, play a little more consistently.

Yang Hao stood on the sidelines and didn't say a word, but he was still very happy in his heart.

France's starting line-up did not surprise him.

Goalkeepers: Kupe;

Defenders: Sagnol, Thuram, Gallas and Patrice Evra;

Midfielders: Tulalang and Makelele in the back, with Malouda, Franck Ribery and Anelka up front;

Striker: Thierry Henry.

Just now in the locker room, when he got the starting list of the French team, Yang Hao told all the players that there were several key points in this game, one of which was to block Henry.

A Henry who plays as a center forward is not scary.

Puyol and Pepe should be careful to avoid letting Henry play behind Spain.

The other is to freeze Ribery, and it's up to Marcos Senna.

Patrice Evra is also crucial on the left flank, so Villa's task is to keep Evra at bay.

Spain's starting line-up for this game has also been adjusted.

Goalkeepers: Casillas;

Defence: Capdevilla, Puyol, Pepe and Ramos;

Midfielders: Marcos Senna, Andres Iniesta with Xavi;

Forwards: David Silva, Fernando Torres and Villa.

Spain's first attempt to attack came in the 17th second.

That is, after Pepe steals Henry, after a series of passes, Torres sends the ball to the right with one kick.

Villa had to get forward quickly to attack the space left behind Patrice Evra when he pressed it, but Gallas took the lead and intercepted the ball.

If the ball had been passed, Spain's counter-attack would have worked.

Although it didn't work, Yang Hao still applauded on the sidelines and applauded the players.

Villa "complained" to Torres twice, signaling that he should pass a little higher.

Garas was so short and taller that he could catch it himself.

Torres shook his head speechlessly, as if to say: Are you embarrassed to dislike people for being short?

……

"Sure enough, as we expected, Yang Hao is still tempting us to take the initiative."

Pierre Mankovski, the assistant coach of the French team, shook his head helplessly.

Whether it's the European Championship or the World Cup, the biggest challenge is not to make mistakes.

Once you make a mistake and immediately miss the opportunity, then many things will become very passive.

"He has been honed in La Liga and the Champions League, whether it is the targeted tactics before the game, or the on-the-spot command, it is the world's top." Domenech was also helpless.

The opponent is indeed stronger than him.

Many people say that Yang Hao is very good at attacking.

Just a rush to attack?

Behind the attack is that Yang Hao's targeted tactics can work, and he can always hit the opponent's soft underbelly.

It's like in this game, Spain didn't press it very actively, but let the French team press it out by itself.

They want the advantage of passing the ball, and France can't grab it.

Grab their pass and control the ball, then the French team increases their possession, with the French midfield configuration, once Spain suddenly grabs, can break the ball every minute to form a counterattack, then the back line can hold?

The French team gradually slowed down after a wave of grabs in the opening game, but still deployed near the halfway line.

As soon as Spain wanted to try to get past the halfway line, they would aggressively go up and even foul them.

Domenech has no way to deal with this situation, who makes France's passing and possession inferior to Spain?

"Yang Hao is obviously still afraid of our right side, so he arranged Capdevilla instead of Antonio López, but in this case, their left side may be affected a bit." Mankovsky analyzed.

In this kind of European Cup, which is played every two or three days, every team needs to find a balance between rotation and overall competitiveness, and Yang Hao also rotated several players tonight, apparently for this purpose.

Capdevilla's attacking intensity, especially when he gets in behind, is not as good as that of Antonio López, who is a bit like Patrice Evra and really uses himself as a winger.

In contrast, Capdevilla, while also aggressively forward, is more like a normal full-back.

But soon, Domenech saw David Silva drop back from the ribs.

Because Iniesta is also dropping back to receive the ball from the back.

……

When Iniesta dropped back into his own half and received Puyol's pass, he turned around and continued to move forward, while also observing his teammates around him.

Capdevilla has gone up.

But Iniesta didn't go to his teammate on the left, but suddenly made a straight pass to the front.

When David Silva dropped back to receive the ball, Sagnol didn't dare to follow too closely, but Anelka gave up Capdevilla and pounced on David Silva.

After the Spaniard stopped the ball, he made another deduction to avoid the first steal from Anelka, who pounced on him, and then distributed to the left wing, and turned and ran forward quickly.

When Capdevilla got the ball on the left flank, Sagnol had to press up, and David Silva quickly stepped forward and got behind Sagnol.

The Spanish left wing-back picked the ball up and slotted it past Sagnol and into the edge of the left corner of the box.

Thuram burst out of the penalty area and sprinted towards the ball at the same time as David Silva.

Both kicked at the same time, but neither could control the ball.

On the left side of the penalty area, Torres blocked Gallas with his body, stopped the ball in front of him in time with his chest, and turned to protect the ball, turned his back to the direction of the attack, and immediately kicked the ball out.

Villa stopped the ball at the top of the arc and then entered the penalty area, and the whole person quickly rushed to the penalty area, Evra chased after him desperately, but Villa rushed to the penalty spot and shot low with his feet.

The French left wing-back's tackle was a little slower.

The ball drilled into the bottom right foot of the goal with great speed.

"The ball is in!!"

"Villa!"

"David Villa!"

"Just 2 minutes and 34 seconds into the opening period, David Villa received an assist from Torres to open the scoring for Spain!"

"It was Spain's first shot of the game, it was very precise and it went straight to the goal!"

"I have to say, Spain's attack is really sharp!"

"Especially this kind of offensive coordination up front."

"Whether it's Capdevilla's pick-and-roll pass, or Torres' position in the box, or Villa's just right run, I have to say that their players are so well connected."

"It is worth mentioning that these players are all from Atletico Madrid, and they are all pulled out by Yang Hao."

"And this tacit understanding they have formed at the club has allowed them to perform vividly on the national team as well."

"The French team was beaten hard at the beginning, falling behind 0-1!"

"Domenech needs to think about it now."

……

When Spain opened the scoring, the game changed completely.

This means that France must score at least two goals in this game to qualify for the group stage.

It's very, very enormous, so to speak.

Not only at the technical and tactical level, but also at the mental level.

And the reaction on the pitch is that the players' emotions are starting to get a little out of control.

For example, in the 6th minute, Claude Makelele had a quick counterattack from Spain, and when he came to defend Villa, he used a superfluous move to hit Villa in the face, and Villa fell to the ground on the spot.

Although, in hindsight, Villa seems to be fine, but they were all beaten, isn't it stupid not to fall to the ground?

The referee gave Makelle a yellow card.

After that, Tulalang also received a yellow card.

For about 10 minutes, continuous yellow cards, this can see the anxiety of the French team.

Anxiety makes people not calm enough and prone to errors in judgment.

On the pitch, it is to give the Spanish players too much space to pass and possess the ball.

And it's easy to get too high on offense.

In the 21st minute, Torres dropped back to receive a pass in midfield, blocked Gallas with his body, and knocked the ball behind him with a backheel knock.

Villa cut in at high speed and dribbled straight into the penalty area.

Patrice Evra chased after him all the way and didn't give Villa a chance to kick the back of the net.

But Huluwa still seized the opportunity and crossed to the back post, David Silva arrived at the goal, pushed in front of the goal, and broke through Kupe's goal again, 2-0!

The whole new Tivoli Stadium exploded in an instant!

"The French team really gave Spain too much freedom to take the ball, they have to keep an eye on Spain!"

"If Spain is allowed to pass and control the ball like this, no matter how solid the defense is, it will not be able to withstand it."

But it's clear that the French players are starting to lose confidence.

They completely lost their rhythm and completely lost their self-confidence.

This is something that no one can imagine.

It wasn't even Spain's credit tonight, it was the passive situation they had in the game against Portugal four days earlier.

Now, they're just bearing the consequences!

Towards the end of the first half, when two small players, David Silva and Andres Iniesta, tried to break into the box on the periphery of the left corner of the French penalty area, and tried to break into the box.

The referee gave another yellow card and gave Spain a free-kick from the left edge of the box.

Xavi came up to take the penalty, Ramos, Puyol and Pepe were all there, but it was Marcos Senna and Capdevilla who dragged behind, watching out for the French team's counterattack.

The Barcelona midfielder took a deep breath and made a quick run to curl a ball that fell precisely to the back post.

I saw Ramos jump high and shake his head to beat Gallas to hit the goal.

"The ball is in again!!"

"Spain scored again!"

"3 to 0!"

"From Sergio Ramos!"

"Spain's third goal of the game!"

"The first half is not over yet, Spain have already scored three goals!"

"It's impossible to imagine what the outcome of this game will be, but we have every reason to believe that we are seeing the birth of a great team!"

"Spain won 12 consecutive victories in qualifying, and in the European Championship, they beat Italy 5-0 and now beat France 3-0 in the first half."

"I have to admit that Yang Hao does have his own uniqueness in terms of adjusting the team, especially on the offensive end."

"We can see that Spain has had a lot of rotation in both games, but the team has played very well in attack and played very fluidly, which has left a huge impression on us."

"Now, the problem is left to France."

"After losing 2-0 to Portugal in the first game of the group stage, and now it's only half-time and it's 3-0 down to Spain, so how will the next games be played?"

"It's a real problem, a serious one."

……

To everyone's surprise, France did not make any substitutions at half-time.

This is indeed quite a surprise.

It stands to reason that if you concede three goals in a row, you should at least show a determination to fight back.

But the French team did not.

Even on the pitch, they were a little too negative.

If you want to turn back the situation, this is almost impossible for the French team.

Spain is actually happy to do the same.

So, instead of chasing the victory, they patiently passed the ball and kept hiding from the French team.

Yang Hao's strategy is to stay for the third round of the group stage.

Because this one will decide who is the first in the group.

According to the rules, the first group meets the second in the group, so the difficulty of advancing will be relatively easy.

Although there were a lot of threats created throughout the second half, the French team had clearly lost their fighting spirit.

Spain's most threatening thing was in the 73rd minute, before Torres went off the field, Xavi's long pass was given to him, he successfully countered offside, drove straight in, and shot in the French penalty area, but was deflected by Kupe, hit the crossbar, and failed to score.

Subsequently, Yang Hao replaced Torres with Llorente.

Spain also used the French team to practice the style of play of a high striker in the last 20 minutes.

Torres is not a serious high school striker after all.

In this game, although he did not score, his performance was remarkable, especially his contribution to the attack of the whole of Spain.

In the end, Spain defeated France 3-0 with three goals in the first half and won two consecutive European Championships!

In the other matchup that followed, Portugal played a 1-1 draw against Italy.

As a result, after two rounds of the group stage, Spain led the way with two consecutive wins.

Portugal, on the other hand, is in second place with one win and one draw.

Italy is in third place with one draw and one loss.

France are on a two-game losing streak and are at the bottom of the table.

When the results came out, no one could have imagined that the match in the Group of Death would turn out to be like this.

Especially the World Cup runner-up France team two years ago, after losing Zidane, it seemed to be drained of the soul, and it was at the bottom of the group stage, which has to be said to be very surprising.

Spain's performance was extremely impressive, especially in the first two rounds, which won Spain unanimous praise from countless media and fans.

Before the European Championships, everyone felt that Spain was in a bad situation, not only because of the draw in the Group of Death, but also because of the style of play, as well as Portugal, which is also Latin American.

This is also very common in La Liga.

For example, the Latin American style of Villarreal has always been a nightmare for Barcelona and has caused a lot of suffering for Atletico.

But who would have thought that before the much-anticipated showdown on the Iberian Peninsula appeared, Italy and France would collapse directly.

And the final round of the group stage, France vs. Italy, Spain vs. Portugal.

Among them, the double-tooth duel will not only determine the ownership of the first place in the group stage, but also determine who can qualify.

If Portugal loses to Spain and Italy beat France, Italy can also reverse Portugal to advance as long as they have a sufficient goal difference.

This also added a lot of suspense to the final round of the group stage.

……

On the evening of June 18, Salzburg, Austria.

In the third round of the group stage of the European Cup, Spain played Portugal.

The first two group stages were played in Innsbruck, this time at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg.

Because Spain got the right to qualify early, the purpose was just to compete for the first place in the group, so Yang Hao made a lot of rotations, including people like Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Pepe and Ramos, all of whom were rotated.

This is really not Yang Hao's carelessness, but his strategy.

The first two rounds of the group stage were fought together in order to rotate in the third round and accumulate strength for the next European Championship knockout round.

It's good to be first in the group, but it's okay to be second in the group.

As it stands, Spain's Group D will play Group C.

Group C is currently dominated by the Netherlands and Russia.

Therefore, Yang Hao was not too persistent, and he had to be the first or second in this group, because the opponents were difficult to entangle.

It's better to take this opportunity to give the main players a break.

In the midst of such a busy schedule, how difficult is it for the main players to get valuable rest time?

Portugal, on the other hand, is determined to win and appears aggressive.

This led to a fierce fight between the two sides in the first half.

Although Spain played with a substitute lineup, it was also star-studded, and the overall tactical play was still dominated by passing and controlling.

Portugal apparently didn't expect Spain to rotate so thoroughly that both sides didn't play well in the first half, and it wasn't until just before the end of the first half that Ronaldo set up Nuno Gomez to score a goal for Portugal.

It was also the only goal scored in the first half for both sides.

After that, the two sides also reached a stalemate.

It wasn't until the 76th minute of the second half that Torres, who had just been on the field for a short time, received a direct pass from his teammate Cesc Fabregas, stopped the ball and burst into the penalty area, and hit the goal with his feet on the right side of the penalty spot.

The whole technical action was perfectly connected, and Torres calmly broke through the goal that Ricardo was guarding to equalize for Spain!

Torres probably didn't expect that he would get such a great opportunity as soon as he came on the field, and his body may not be warm yet.

Then the two sides continued to play back and forth.

Scolari was actually afraid of Spain's passing and quick counter-attacks.

In this case, a draw is a situation that is acceptable to both sides.

Spain won 2 wins and 1 draw with 7 points and finished first in the group.

Portugal won 1 and drew 2 and qualified second in the group with 5 points.

In this way, even if Italy beats the French team, it will only be eliminated by only 4 points.

Scolari is clearly clear about the calculations.

Therefore, he took the lead in starting substitutions to save strength for the knockout round.

Yang Hao's last two substitutions are also adjusting the state of the players and giving the substitutes a chance.

In the end, the two sides shook hands 1-1.

When everyone was expecting an Iberian derby between Spain and Portugal, the two teeth staged a brotherly harmony and qualified hand in hand.

Yang Hao can imagine that Donadoni is probably going to scold his mother.

What's the point of working hard in France?

As for Domenech, 3 defeats in a row, what else is there to say?

Moreover, before the 3rd round of the group stage, the French team had already begun to fight among themselves.

This is already an old traditional performance of the French team.

Ribery accused Domenech of being too conservative in his tactics and was clearly unhappy with his inaugural European Championships.

This is also something that no one expected.

In the Group of Death, Spain can finally qualify with an unbeaten record, which is really impressive.

All the attention was focused on the first two games, because everyone could see that in the final round of the group stage, Spain was ready to play in the knockout round.

Torres leads the scoring charts of this European Championship with four goals.

……

When Spain qualified first in the group, it caused cheers and boiling throughout Spain.

Countless media and fans are vying to sing the praises of Yang Hao and his new Spanish national team.

5-0 win over Italy and 3-0 sweep over France.

In the past so many years, when has Spain faced these two world-class teams so powerful?

In particular, Spain's strong dominance in the group stage of the European Championship has made countless Spanish fans praise.

Even in the final round of the 1-1 draw with Portugal, Spain took the initiative in the game.

After playing in the group stage, Spain will face Russia led by Guus Hiddink.

Marca newspaper was the first to publish an article with the headline, "We owe Yang Hao a sincere apology!" ”

In this article, Marca believes that although Spain's European Championship journey has just broken through from the group stage, the football presented by this team is undoubtedly fantastic.

"Yang Hao's Spain team has given us a new look, whether it is the football presented by the players on the field, or the mental outlook of the players, it gives people a completely different feeling from Spain in the past."

'He's made a lot of big innovations in the Spanish national team.

Marca newspaper believes that in 06, when Yang Hao first took over Spain, many people questioned him and even rejected him, especially when he decided not to call up Raul, which caused strong criticism from countless Spanish fans.

"During that time, Yang Hao almost became the public enemy of Spain."

"But he still insists on doing what he thinks is right!"

Marca newspaper believes that Yang Hao's abandonment of Raul is not due to the grudge between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, but more from a technical and tactical point of view.

"Look at the current Spain team, may I ask, if Raul wants to play, who can he replace?"

"Can he withstand the pressure up front like Torres?"

"Or can you provide attack, break-throughs and passes on the flanks and flanks like Villa and Reyes?"

"Or can he be like Andres Iniesta, David Silva and others who can make sure the team passes and controls the ball?"

Marca revealed that Yang Hao and Raul have a very good personal relationship, but for the sake of the national team, the two have not had any contact for two years.

But Yang Hao revealed to the team reporter of Marca Daily that before the European Cup, when the national team set off for Austria, Raul sent a text message to Yang Hao for the first time, wishing Yang Hao and his national team good results in the European Cup.

"Two years on, Raul has let go, and he just sits at home, just like the rest of the Spanish fans, cheering for the national team and cheering for the national team's great performance."

"What about us?"

"All of us who watched Spain shine at the European Championship and cheered for the national team's wonderful performance, did we apologize for our behaviour back then? Those who have accused and abused Yang Hao have ever thought about sincerely apologizing? ”

Marca newspaper believes that all the people who scolded Yang Hao back then owe Yang Hao an apology.

"He has not only produced many international players for Spain, but also led Spain to shine in the European Championship."

"We have absolutely reason to believe that Yang Hao and his Spanish team can go further in the European Cup, and even go all the way to the end!"

"This is not only our expectation, but also the goal of Yang Hao and the players of the Spanish national team!"

……

After playing the group stage, Yang Hao and Spain continued to rest in Innsbruck for two days.

It is mainly to analyze and summarize the group stage of the European Cup, and also look forward to the next knockout stage of the European Cup.

Especially for Russia.

Arshavin shined at this European Championship and performed very eye-catchingly, almost single-handedly leading Russia out of the encirclement, and was hailed as the Russian Tsar.

It can be said that the group stage has just been played, and Arshavin has already attracted the attention of major European giants.

Some even say that he can be compared to Atletico Madrid's Messi.

In this regard, Yang Hao of course scoffed.

But that didn't stop him from attaching great importance to Arshavin.

In this European Championship, Arshavin's performance has really impressed, and if you want to beat Russia, you have to freeze Arshavin.

So in this game, Marcos Senna will still start.

Xavi Alonso is very organised, but not good enough defensively.

Yang Hao needs to use Marcos Senna to restrain Arshavin.

This is also Yang Hao's strategy for coaching the Spanish national team, from the tactical level, all players must be subordinated to the interests of the whole team.

Encountering a team like Italy without a forward midfielder, Yang Hao chose Xavi Alonso.

When encountering players like Ribery and Arshavin, Xavi Alonso's defense is obviously not enough, so Yang Hao uses Marcos Senna.

The players of the Spanish national team also see this, so don't look at the many Atletico Madrid players in the team, but in fact, who should be used and who should not be used, the players have a scale in their hearts, and they are all convinced.

It may be unfair to choose people at the purely tactical level, but it is open enough to let everyone know Yang Hao's selection criteria.

So, Spain is still on good terms in the dressing room right now.

After a two-day break in Innsbruck, the team departed for the capital, Vienna.

After arriving in Vienna, Yang Hao also specially gave the players a half-day off, so that the players' families could come to the hotel to visit the class, and gave them time to get along.

This is also advice from a psychiatrist.

They believe that the support of their families can better motivate the players!

Cry...... It's late again! I stayed up until 3 o'clock last night, and I got up late in the morning, so I try not to be late tomorrow!
