"Valencia is in a bit of a hurry right now."

"Atletico Madrid adopted a timely strategy, including several players in the front, and the return defense was very timely to ensure the solidity of the backline."

"It's a very effective strategy."

"Look at this time, Valencia planned the attack, Aquilani passed to Anderson in front."

"Anderson splits the ball to the right, Nani takes the ball and goes inside."

'Sergio Busquets got in place in time and made a good tackle.

"Atletico's quick counter-attack."

'Marcelo goes forward and plays a long ball to the front.

"Suarez ran over to catch the ball and passed it out."

"Good chance, Di Maria is sprinting, very fast!"

"Atletico's quick counter-attack, chance!"

'Di Maria sprinted quickly along the left flank, caught up with Suarez's pass, continued to lead forward, and rushed into the box.

'Petr Cech went out on the move, but Di Maria was quicker, slotted the ball to the bottom line and chased it again.

"Di Maria crosses with his left foot to the middle."

"Valencia pressed too far forward just now, the whole middle and back point were empty!"

"Messi followed, calmly pushed the empty goal!"

"The ball is in again!!"

"Hat-trick!"

"A hat-trick in the Champions League final!"

"Messi scored a hat-trick in the Champions League final in the 78th minute!"

"3 to 0!"

"I have to say that Valencia really lagged behind Atletico in all aspects tonight."

'Although Valencia dominated the game at one point in the opening stages, Atletico gradually turned the tide.

"We have to admit that Atletico do have an advantage in terms of overall strength!"

……

In front of the live TV camera, Messi cheered all the way out of the stadium.

It was a hat-trick in the Champions League final!

The Argentine was so excited that he quickly rushed out of the pitch and under the stands where the Atletico fans were to celebrate.

All the Sheets players followed suit.

Although many people outside are questioning Messi, and some people even say that he relied on Yang Hao's preference for him to achieve today's status, everyone in the Atletico Madrid team knows that Messi is really strong.

Of course, this kind of strength is even stronger under the overall foil of Atletico Madrid.

A powerful one that terrifies all competitors.

How outrageous is that?

In the past three seasons, Messi has scored 50, 55 and 53 goals in La Liga.

You must know that Real Madrid's star Cristiano Ronaldo has always been compared with Messi, and he is also nicknamed the peerless Shuangjiao.

But in terms of goals, Ronaldo's goals in the last three seasons have been 40, 46 and 48 respectively.

Maybe the number of goals is nothing, but Messi's goal data is stable to beat Ronaldo by a grade.

Moreover, that's not counting the assists of the two.

Messi's assists every season are also very impressive.

Only when you have played with Messi can you know how strong he really is.

Messi on the pitch can't even fully show how strong Messi is.

It's like tonight's Champions League final!

What's even more terrifying is that he is only 25 years old.

……

In fact, since Messi scored his second goal, Valencia's morale has been greatly affected.

By the third goal, the Bat Legion had basically declared defeat.

They are no longer powerless to prevent Atletico from winning the title.

The last ten minutes or so have become practice time for players on both sides.

Atletico made a series of substitutions, with Valencia defending cautiously on one side and looking for opportunities on the other.

But until the end of the game, the Bat Legion failed to pull another goal back.

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Valencia 3-0 thanks to Messi's hat-trick.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have once again failed in the Champions League final.

Moreover, it was Atletico Madrid that lost to Yang Hao again!

"Let's congratulate Atletico!"

"This is the first time in the history of the Champions League in more than half a century that a team has won the Champions League four times in a row!"

"We have to admit that Yang Hao and his Atletico Madrid are really very strong, so strong that it is suffocating and desperate."

"They finished second in La Liga this season, almost winning the title, and won both the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, making it a double."

"This is quite an achievement!"

"The four consecutive Champions League titles have shown us a strong and almost invincible Atletico Madrid!"

When the whistle blew at the end of the match, the stadium was filled with cheers and cheers from Atletico fans.

Atletico's players had completely lost their minds and were all cheering and celebrating wildly.

Yang Hao first walked over and shook hands with Ancelotti.

He could tell that Ancelotti was in a very low mood.

This is not surprising either.

He has recently been a runner-up in a row, and the curse of the second in ten thousand years seems to have found him again.

After Yang Hao and Ancelotti shook hands, they stood on the sidelines, and both of them invariably mentioned the game.

The relationship between the two is very good, and Yang Hao decided to retire in 2014, so he doesn't mind discussing the gains and losses of this game with Ancelotti.

"You are responsible for the complete defeat of this game!" Yang Hao was blunt.

Ancelotti smiled bitterly, he knew that Yang Hao was talking about the starters of the two central defenders.

'Every team has a process like that, just like when you supported Thiago Silva, Pepe and Ramos, Arsene Wenger supported Vincent Kompany and Chiellini.

'It's all been proven that you've all benefited a lot from this centre-back combination.

Ancelotti said this, and couldn't help but turn his head to look inside the stadium.

"David Luiz is only 26 years old, Boateng is only 25 years old, we can afford to wait!"

Yang Hao smiled and nodded.

This age is really not bad for a central defender.

The two are actually not so bad, the key is to see what kind of opponent they face and what kind of tactical configuration they adopt.

Valencia's tactics tonight were indeed aggressive.

"You may not believe it, but Bruno warned me before the game and thought it was too radical."

Bruno De Michelis, Carlo Ancelotti's most trusted right-hand man.

Speaking of this, Ancelotti sighed helplessly, "But I want to win too!" ”

"Giving up the initiative in the game, it's like we are dueling, I hand the only knife to you and let you cut me, it's too passive, and more importantly, I really don't know if I can carry it."

Yang Hao nodded heavily, "Time waits for no one." ”

Ancelotti smiled bitterly.

He understood what Yang Hao meant.

Van Persie is 83 years old, he will soon be 30 years old, and he had too many injuries in his early years, and no one knows how long he can maintain his current form.

It's like Sneijder, who is only 29 years old, but his career is obviously going downhill.

A lot of times, a player's form will fall quickly after reaching a certain peak.

When exactly this peak is, no one knows.

Some people don't grow old until they are 35 years old, some people fall rapidly after reaching the peak at the age of 23, and some people are stable all their lives and don't seem to have a peak......

Valencia will have to start preparing for a change in their squad.

……

Winning the Champions League for four consecutive seasons, Yang Hao has received overwhelming praise.

The awards and celebrations after the race were similar to those of previous years.

It was after the award ceremony that Yang Hao had a conversation with UEFA President Bilal.

As the saying goes: people rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold.

After becoming the president of UEFA, Bilal is obviously much more energetic than in the past, and his words and actions are obviously more imposing than in the past, and even has a little bit of vigorous courage.

This made Yang Hao look at him with admiration.

UEFA secretary-general Gianni Infantino is now a bit of a void as he runs around the world in his quest for the presidency of FIFA.

"He's been running around for the past time, and we're going to give him our full support!"

Bilal whispered to Yang Hao.

This is not only a commitment made by both parties, but also in the common interest of Bilal and UEFA, as well as European clubs.

To put it bluntly, the position of FIFA president is only reassuring if it is in the hands of Europeans.

The reform of the Spanish Football Federation is in full swing, as is the reform of UEFA.

However, this kind of reform, which involves many interests and can even be said to be painful, is often not something that can be achieved overnight, and at least the consensus of the majority of the people must be reached.

However, the whole framework has basically surfaced.

For example, in order to ensure financial transparency, UEFA will strictly follow the financial process, publish financial reports every six months, and hire an authoritative third-party accounting firm to conduct financial audits.

The aim is to convince everyone of UEFA's financial situation and curb corruption.

On top of that, Bilal is pushing for all senior leaders, from the UEFA president and secretary general to the vice-presidents and executive committee members, to make it mandatory for all senior leaders to make regular public announcements about their finances.

Corruption is certainly something that cannot be eradicated, but what Bilal is doing now is a very big step forward from before, so his controversy is also very big, and the resistance to reform is also great.

This really can't be done overnight.

Therefore, Yang Hao may promise that the club league and La Liga will do their best to support Bilal.

However, Yang Hao has reservations about Bilal's desire to raise the upper limit of the chairman's term to three terms, that is, 12 years.

In the final analysis, Yang Hao doesn't fully trust Bilal either.

God knows if Bilal is self-respecting?

Deliberately dragging the reform and exaggerating the resistance, is it to make a fuss about the term of office?

More importantly, the current reform of UEFA is actually making a fuss about the future reform of FIFA.

This anti-corruption storm in football has been very successful, and it can be described as a thunderstorm.

Not only the FIFA headquarters in Switzerland, but also the football federations of all continents have been affected, and many top leaders and core executives have been killed.

Therefore, Yang Hao had played with Infantino before, and he didn't do anything, so he simply made the system clear.

From FIFA to the continental confederations, to the member states, there must be a clear set of rules and procedures.

Financial transparency, disclosure of officials' assets, and clear tenure limits......

As long as this series of systems is implemented and becomes an iron law, then everyone must be restrained.

……

Bringing back the Champions League from London, Atletico Madrid has turned into a sea of celebration before Atletico's plane has landed.

Winning the Champions League four years in a row is a great feat that has been unparalleled in the past half century.

Moreover, Atletico have won one more Copa del Rey title this season.

Add to that the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup, and four trophies in one season, which is satisfying enough.

From the time the team's plane landed in Madrid, the cheers were endless.

Yang Hao also celebrated with the team.

He also heard the shouts of the fans in the crowd.

Many are hoping that he will change his mind and continue to manage Atletico after 2014.

After all, in the past 13 years, Yang Hao's coaching of Atletico Madrid has been too successful.

He almost single-handedly brought this La Liga relegated team to today's European hegemony!

One phenomenon is the most reflective of Atletico Madrid, as well as the world's fans' desire to retain Yang Hao.

Atletico Madrid's next season's La Liga home stadiums, 3 Champions League group stage home tickets, have just come out and have been sold out, and it has long been hard to find.

Fans all said disappointedly, "Yang Hao's game is one less game to watch!" ”

Finally, when the team arrived at the Emirates Stadium, when Yang Hao delivered a speech on behalf of the coaching staff, he did not respond positively to the concerns of the fans, but thanked the assistants, thanked the players, and also thanked the fans solemnly.

"I believe that this year's double is still far from playing to our level."

'We've had a lot of problems in the long La Liga season, but my colleagues and I, as well as our players, will solve them this summer.

"I am here to promise all the fans that you will definitely see a stronger and more competitive Atletico Madrid team in the new season!"

Yang Hao's promise won thunderous applause at the scene.

Subsequently, the players also expressed their attitudes, saying that they would perform harder in the new season.

Before the season ended, the team had quietly started to renew the contract.

Including the likes of Robert Lewandowski, there are also several second-team players such as Isco, Koke, Paul Pogba and Virgil van Dijk, who are on the team's list of key contract extensions.

The veteran Adriano signed a contract extension with the team early.

The annual salary remains the same, but considering the sharp drop in playing time and the reduction in the number of goals, Adriano actually earns much less than in the past.

For Adriano, it's like a pension contract.

Atletico also want Adriano to stay with the team until he retires, so that he can naturally enter the ranks of Atletico's celebrities.

Lewandowski has made it clear that he wants to renew his contract with the team.

Yang Hao has talked to him and his agent, clearly expressing his optimism and appreciation for Lewandowski, and at the same time letting Guardiola talk to Lewandowski, so the Pole is very willing to stay at Atletico Madrid.

Here, although there will be competition, the overall strength is stronger, the salary package is also quite good, and the results are outstanding.

Isco and Koke, of course, are also going to renew their contracts with Atletico Madrid, they are both local youth training, and they will not join other teams.

But Paul Pogba's situation is a bit tricky right now.

The French midfielder has made a number of first-team appearances this season and has played as a regular in the Copa del Rey, which has put him in the favour of Didier Deschamps, who was promoted to the French national team.

In this case, Pogba will not rest on his laurels.

Yang Hao doesn't know when, Pogba actually "hooked up" with his agent Raiola by chance and changed his agent, while Raiola wanted to persuade Pogba to change teams.

Atletico Madrid youth training, the talented midfielder cultivated by Yang Hao, where is it not taken seriously?

It's not too much to say that strange goods can live.

Raiola is very shrewd in this business.

Atletico don't have a good solution.

In Yang Hao's mind, at this stage, Iniesta, Kaka, Toni Kroos and Modric rotate to play the main team, and Koke and Isco's performance in Atletico Madrid's youth team is no worse than Pogba.

No matter how much Yang Hao tries to squeeze out time for Pogba, it will be difficult to meet Pogba and Raiola's requirements.

There is news from the Italian side that Raiola wants to recommend Pogba to Serie A.

However, the Premier League Sun revealed that Ferguson specially recommended Pogba to Manchester United management before retiring, because he almost signed Pogba that year, and Pogba has grown very fast in Atletico Madrid in recent years.

There is also news that Jose Mourinho is likely to return to the mountain and enter the palace to coach Chelsea in the Premier League.

Mourinho is also very interested in Pogba.

Not to mention Bayern in the Bundesliga, who also covets Pogba.

This is very troublesome.

Yang Hao basically doesn't interfere in the transfer matter now, and he has delegated the power of the transfer to the management early.

This can be regarded as his preparation for his retirement in the future.

……

After the long season, Yang Hao couldn't rest.

The Confederations Cup is held in Brazil in mid-June.

According to previous draws, Spain drew Uruguay, Nigeria and Tahiti this time.

The result of the draw was basically the same as in the previous life, except that in the group in which Brazil was located, Italy became Portugal.

In terms of opponents, Uruguay will be Spain's number one rival.

The tournament starts on June 16, but Spain will start training in early June.

During this period, Yang Hao was most worried about the national team's training process, physical reserve training plan, and most importantly, the 23-man squad.

According to Yang Hao, the 2013 Confederations Cup is like a rehearsal for next year's World Cup, and it is also a training session to familiarize yourself with the venue, and Brazil is determined to win this Confederations Cup.

Yang Hao left the training to Pep Guardiola and the coaching staff, and he focused on the selection of players.

As Yang Hao said before, the Confederations Cup is a preview of next year's World Cup, so he decided to bring in more newcomers.

Goalkeepers: Casillas, Reina and De Gea;

Defenders: Ramos, Pepe, Carvajal, Pique, Alba, Arbeloa and Monreal;

Midfielders: Andres Iniesta, Xavi Alonso, Sergio Busquets, Xavi, Xavi Martinez, Cesc Fabregas, Isco and Koke;

Forwards: Fernando Torres, Llorente, Juan Mata, David Silva and Keylor Navas.

The list made by Yang Hao has caused a lot of controversy.

Because there are 10 players from Atletico Madrid, it was a big surprise to everyone.

In the goalkeeper position, Casillas and Reina are not young, and the younger De Gea has stepped up, coupled with his performance in La Liga, it is understandable.

There are also no problems at the back, with Monreal doing well on the left, with only three centre-backs, but Xavi Martinez can also play in that position, and even Sergio Busquets can make a cameo when necessary.

Even, even Carvajal's selection did not cause much controversy.

The real question is the selection of Isco and Koke, two Atletico youngsters.

At a press conference in Las Rozas Sports City, Yang Hao explained his intentions.

The reason why Cazorla was not selected and replaced by Isco and Koke is very important because Yang Hao feels that these two young midfielders can provide Spain with unique abilities.

For example, Isco, who dares to take the ball in midfield, dare to dribble and break through, is currently the most lacking in the Spanish national team.

Keylor Navas can break through, but more often on the right flank, and letting him break through is tantamount to playing a cross from the wing.

Isco, on the other hand, is really able to break through in the middle.

And Cork.

The Atletico midfielder has been substituted many times in La Liga and has been very good, with a willingness to run, as well as a delicate technique at his feet and excellent passing ability, which makes him very versatile.

Yang Hao believes that Koke will be a strong addition to the current Spanish midfield.

Because Harvey is already 33 years old, and he will be 34 years old next year.

Everyone knows that Cesc Fabregas is the best candidate after Xavi retires, but Fabregas doesn't have enough running and covering ability, and Koke is good at running and covering, and his passing ability is solid.

Yang Hao said in an interview with Spanish media that the 23-man list he selected is not only for this Confederations Cup, but also for next year's World Cup in Brazil, but also for the future.

After Yang Hao's change, everyone suddenly found that the Spanish national team presented a lineup structure that combines the old, middle and young.

There are 80-year veterans like Xavi, Casillas and Xavi Alonso like 81 years; There are also a group of mature players such as Iniesta, Torres, and Pepe who are 83 and 84.

There are also a number of players like Sergio Busquets, David Silva, Ramos, Pique and many others.

Now, there are several young players such as Carvajal, Isco, Koke, De Gea, etc.

On the whole, the Spanish lineup is indeed well combined in terms of age structure, as Yang Hao said.

The question is, is such a squad competitive when it comes to Brazil?

Yang Hao said with confidence, "We have only one goal in Brazil, and that is to win the championship!" ”

……

With high expectations from all over Spain, Yang Hao and the Spanish internationals flew from Madrid to New York, USA.

Before moving south to Brazil, training camps in Spain were held on the east coast of the United States.

In addition, Yang Hao also specially arranged for two teams to play warm-up games.

They are Ghana, an African team against Nigeria, and Ecuador, a South American team against Uruguay.

Both games are scheduled in the United States, and Yang Hao hopes to use them to familiarize himself with the playing style of his opponents in the group stage, while also polishing the team's tactics.

Among them, a very important point is that Yang Hao is focusing on how to play the role of Isco.

After a week of training in the United States, Spain's first warm-up game was against Ghana, which ended in a 0-0 first-half draw, but second-half substitute Carvajal set up Llorente's goal and Juan Mata received an assist from Cesc Fabregas.

Spain beat Ghana 2-0.

After a four-day break, Spain narrowly beat Ecuador 2-1 in the second warm-up match.

Andres Iniesta made one pass and one shot and became the best player in the team.

For these two warm-up games, Yang Hao and the coaching staff are quite satisfied, because of the team's physical reserve training, so they are not in the best condition.

Moreover, Yang Hao's warm-up matches have always not focused on results, and there are two sets of lineups in the first and second halves.

But in the end, they were able to beat their opponents, and the results were still very satisfying.

He expressed his satisfaction with the team's warm-up match when he traveled south from the United States to Recife, a city in northeastern Brazil, to attend a press conference before the Confederations Cup.

The head coach of the Brazilian national team, Scolari, aimed at Yang Hao early on, believing that the biggest competitor in this Confederations Cup will be Spain.

Uruguay's coach Tabarez also made harsh remarks before the game, saying that he would definitely be able to beat Spain in the first round of the group stage.

Because the tournament is held in South America.

Yang Hao understands this.

'I know a lot of teams have been looking at us and looking at us as something they're trying to try to and catch up with.

As he spoke, Yang Hao's expression and tone were very proud and confident.

"It's normal and we're used to being targeted by a lot of competitors, but for us, no matter what kind of opponent we face, we're going to stick to the tactics that work best for us."

Yang Hao denied the stereotype that many people had about the Spain team he coached, believing that Spain would only possess the ball.

"In fact, we have a lot of weapons in our arsenal, a very rich combination of tactics, and we will adopt different tactics according to different opponents."

As for Uruguay, the number one opponent in the group stage, Yang Hao expressed his admiration for Tabarez, and also mentioned that the most threatening player in Uruguay is Suarez.

'He's my player, I know his quality and threat very well, whether or not we can freeze Suarez will be key in this game, and of course, Cavani, who is also a very dangerous striker.

Although he praised his opponent in his mouth, everyone could hear from Yang Hao's expression and words that his confidence was almost overflowing.

He took over in '06, won the European Cup in '08, won the Confederations Cup in '09, won the World Cup in '10, and won the European Cup again in '12.

Yang Hao has created the most glorious dynasty in Spanish football, and even world football in recent decades, and it is also an unprecedented peak dynasty.

He had the confidence and confidence to say something like that.

At the same time, he also hopes to pass on this confidence and calmness to every player in Spain.

And, of course, opponents.

……

On the evening of June 16, the first round of the group stage of the Confederations Cup.

Atletico against Uruguay.

Compared with the 442 formation of Uruguay coach Tabarez, Yang Hao still insists on responding with 433.

Moreover, this time he is making a big move to enable newcomers.

Goalkeepers: Casillas;

Defence: Alba, Ramos, Pepe and Carvajal;

Midfielders: Xavi Alonso, Sergio Busquets and Xavi;

Forwards: Andres Iniesta, Fernando Torres and David Silva.

Most of this squad is derived from last year's European Championships.

Including the team's entire midfield and front, it is basically the same as the European Cup.

But the difference is that Yang Hao promoted the young Carvajal in the backline, allowing Ramos to return to the middle and partner Pepe in central defence.

Specific to the game, Yang Hao's tactics have actually made obvious adjustments.

Spain pressed the overall formation, using excellent passing and possession, as well as on-the-spot counter-attacks after conceding the ball, to suppress the opponent.

Andres Iniesta, Xavi Alonso, Xavi and David Silva, these four players formed the possession zone in the 30-metre area of the opponent, and through their skillful passing and possession, they kept passing and penetrating.

Sergio Busquets, Sergio Ramos and Pepe are behind the trail.

With Andres Iniesta and David Silva generally moving closer to the middle and more in the ribs, Alba and Carvajal have become the guarantee of Spain's attacking width.

The two youngsters were used by Yang Hao as wingers, just like Marcelo and Alves in the Atletico Madrid team.

This style of play is very skillful in La Liga, especially Atletico Madrid, and everyone is familiar with it.

For this team, which is dominated by Atletico Madrid's team, it is not surprising at all to adopt such a tactical style of play.

And in the game, just five minutes into the game, Carvajal crossed from the right.

If it weren't for Torres, who followed up in the middle, who couldn't get it in time, Spain would have scored a goal long ago.

In the 10th minute, Carvajal, who was still on the right side, quickly inserted, broke through with the ball, and passed the low flat ball to the middle.

Torres stopped the ball near the penalty spot and fired a shot into the back of the net held by goalkeeper Muslera.

1 to 0!

After Spain took the lead, they took advantage of the victory and continued to suppress Uruguay, with a sense of wanting to eat Uruguay in one go, and also created an offensive opportunity in the front court in the 26th minute.

David Silva fired a powerful left-footed volley in the ribs, the ball hit the defender's leg, Torres calmly seized the opportunity and sent the ball into the goal, 2-0!

Towards the end of the first half, Torres dropped back to play the ball and Xavi sent a through ball into the right side of the box before David Silva burst into the right side of the box and sent the ball back into the Uruguayan net.

3 to 0!

At the end of the first half, Spain had a three-goal lead and basically sealed the win.

After the rematch in the second half, Spain still firmly controlled the ball and the tempo, making it difficult for Uruguay to perform.

Yang Hao's most vigilant Suarez spent most of the game on the defensive, except for two threatening counter-attacks to form a threat.

It also reflects Spain's dominance on the pitch.

……

With a 3-0 win over Uruguay in the opening game, Spain got off to a good start.

Yang Hao and his Spain won a full house.

But the most important thing is the kind of dominance that Spain presents on the pitch, which almost suffocates the opponent.

Uruguay coach Tabarez reminded all the next opponents after the game that if they want to contain Spain, they must be able to disrupt Spain's passing and possession.

Paradoxically, "it's a very dangerous thing to stop Spain from passing the ball. ”

This leads to a paradox.

After the victory in the first game, Spain then faced the weak team Tahiti, Yang Hao adopted a large rotation tactic, and he even replaced 9 of the starting 11 players, leaving more time for the main players to recuperate.

But even so, Spain still beat Tahiti with an astonishing score of 12-0.

The difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and the opponent is too much.

You know, this is already the result of Spain's stay.

In the last half hour, if Yang Hao's team still took advantage of the victory to chase, maybe it could still brush up a big score that made countless people jaw-dropping.

Of course, 12-0, this score is actually quite scary.

……

While Spain beat Tahiti with a rotational line-up, Nigeria beat Uruguay and lost 2-1.

After two rounds of matches, Spain won both games and remained top of the group.

Uruguay and Nigeria both have one win and one loss, and Tahiti is the worst, losing both games and conceding 18 goals, which is synonymous with disaster.

Since Uruguay played Tahiti in the last round, there is no suspense about winning, so Nigeria must beat Spain if they want to advance.

According to the rules of the Confederations Cup, the group stage has the same number of points, and priority is given to goal difference.

Nigeria played Tahiti with a score of 6-1 and Spain 12-0, a full seven more goal difference than Nigeria, plus a 3-0 win over Uruguay in the first round.

So, according to the rules, if Nigeria wants to qualify as the top of the group, they must play at least 11-0 against Spain.

Everyone knows that this is almost impossible.

To finish second in the group, they will also need to have more goal difference than Uruguay.

Therefore, Nigeria showed aggressive momentum and took the initiative from the beginning.

But in the first 1 minute, Iniesta received a direct pass from Torres, broke through with the ball, entered the left side of the Nigerian penalty area, and pierced the Nigerian goal with a shot.

African teams are starting to give it a go.

The pace of the game entered the state that Spain does best, the opponent was hot-headed, and Spain controlled the field calmly.

Even if it's just for a few minutes, that's enough.

In the 5th minute, Spain scored again, a direct pass from David Silva's right rib, Carvajal connected two players from the opposing side, burst into the right side of the penalty area and shot angrily, breaking through Nigeria's goal, 2-0!

After that, the game became a situation in which Spain possessed the ball and Nigeria defended passively.

Especially in the second half, after the restart, it was Torres who scored with a header, and then left wing-back Alba also scored.

In the end, Spain defeated Nigeria 4-0 to advance to the semi-finals.

……

3 group games, 19 goals scored and 0 goals conceded!

Spain's performance in the Confederations Cup really shocked the whole world, especially the calm and dominant passing and possession performance in the game, which amazed fans all over the world.

Yang Hao's team has become stronger again!

In the other group, the host Brazil narrowly defeated Portugal 2-1 in the final round to qualify as the top of the group.

Prior to this decisive match, both teams had won either against Mexico or against Japan.

Therefore, in the final round of the group stage, the matchup between Portugal and Brazil has become the battle for the top spot in the group.

Obviously, none of them wanted to run into Spain in advance, so they fought very hard.

In the end, it was the Brazilian team that had a slight advantage, beating Portugal 2-1 with Kaka's pass and shot.

Ronaldo failed to have the last laugh in this golden ball battle with Kaka, Adriano and other players.

As a result, in the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup, Spain faced Portugal and Brazil faced Uruguay.

……

When last year's European Championship final was repeated in Brazil's Confederations Cup, Portugal were clearly playing more cautiously than last year.

The same goes for Yang Hao.

In this game, he replaced Carvajal with Arbeloa, who was responsible for defending Cristiano Ronaldo on the left side of Portugal.

That's a very obvious sign.

Yang Hao was still a little jealous in his heart.

Both sides have done a good job in terms of targeted tactics, especially Portugal, which almost adopted a strict defense tactic to meet Spain, and I can't wait to pull everyone back in the team, retreat to the goal, and leave Ronaldo in front of him to play counter-attack.

This caused a lot of problems for Spain's passing and penetration.

Portugal, also from the Iberian Peninsula, are well aware of how to keep Spain at bay, and their players are no bad at passing and individual ability.

That's why they were able to compete with the hosts in the previous matches against Brazil.

Throughout the first half, Portugal kept it tight and didn't create the slightest chance for Spain.

Although Yang Hao's team controlled the ball, they were never able to break through.

In this case, Yang Hao decisively made substitution adjustments after the 60th minute of the second half.

Isco comes on in place of Xavi Alonso.

In this way, Spain has changed its formation to a formation similar to 4231, but the tactical play is different from 4231.

Andres Iniesta and David Silva are still in the flanks, Xavi and Sergio Busquets are behind, and the huge middle ground is all handed over to Isco.

Yang Hao's instructions are also very clear, let Isco take the ball!

Isco is a kid who values the ball more than his life, and when he gets on the pitch, as soon as the ball reaches his feet, he plays with his life and rushes forward, which makes Portugal's midfield defenders feel a huge headache.

Isco made a lot of mistakes, the ball was broken, he was knocked down, but he couldn't stop him, and the players around Spain were trying to cooperate with Isco, creating points for him, passing the ball to him, and letting him keep going.

Bruno Alves and Veloso won back-to-back cards in the 67th and 73rd minutes, all thanks to Isco.

And in the 82nd minute, it was Isco's dribbling breakthrough in the middle, shaking off Veloso, attracting Moutinho and distributing the ball to David Silva in the ribs.

David Silva stopped the ball on the right side of the box and sent a through ball to Torres' feet.

Torres stops the ball past Bruno Alves.

The latter, who already had a yellow card on his shoulders, was restrained and was directly deducted by Torres when he stopped the ball.

Torres then fired a powerful left-footed volley from the left side of the penalty spot.

The ball almost grazed the left-hand post and drilled into the Portuguese goal.

The whole game, played for 82 minutes, and it was not until this moment that all the fans burst into passion.

Torres himself rushed out of the pitch in excitement.

1 to 0!

"At this moment, I believe that all the doubts about Yang Hao's recruitment of Isco before the game should be dissipated!"

"The 21-year-old completely changed the game when he came on as a substitute."

"He brought a valuable victory for Spain!"
