Chapter 524: Spain won 30 points, Bosque's tactics worked.

June 15, the second round of the European Cup group stage reward.

France is still slow to warm up. In this match against Albania, the weakest team in the group, they failed to score a single goal in the 90 minutes of regular time. Unfortunately, Giroud hit the post again.

However, just when everyone thought they were going to be tied by Albania, in the injury time, the French suddenly came to their senses. Griezmann and Payet scored two consecutive goals that stunned the Albanians and all the spectators at the scene!

Since you have such strength, why do you wait until the last minute of the game? Wouldn't it be better to use it earlier? Although the victory was not so beautiful, the French, who won two consecutive victories, have already qualified one round in advance.

And thanks to a draw between Switzerland and Romania in another match, the French secured first place in the group early on.

Now, they can consider their opponents in the knockout rounds in advance.

Not only the French, but the British have also shown some improvement in their performance.

In the second round, the British defeated their younger brother Wales 2:1 in a civil war.

Although Bale scored first, the British still had the last laugh thanks to goals from Vardy and Sturridge.

Facts have proved that the British may not be good at foreign wars, but they are good at civil wars.

After defeating Wales, its biggest rival, Britain's points reached 4, ranking first in Group B.

However, since Wales and Slovakia also have 3 points, the British cannot take it lightly. In the next round against Slovakia, they must at least draw to ensure qualification. If they lose, they are likely to fall to third in the group.

Whether they can qualify at that time will depend on the results of the third place teams in other groups.

In Group C, the Germans met the Poles.

The German team had a big advantage in this match. They originally wanted to launch another blitzkrieg on Poland, but ended up hitting a wall.

The Poles were at a disadvantage throughout the game and had no shots on target, but they still managed to stop the German tanks through defense.

At the end of the game, both teams drew and each got one point.

This result is acceptable to both sides. Both teams currently have 4 points each. Germany is temporarily ranked first because of an extra goal difference. The qualifying situation is very optimistic and they are very likely to advance together.

When it came to Group D's match, everyone's focus was once again on the Spanish team.

Although the outside world believes that Lin Quan is unlikely to play for the Spanish team, there are still some fans who are unwilling to give up, holding on to a glimmer of hope and expectation, wanting to see that person in Spain's starting lineup or on the bench.

However, to their disappointment, Bosque still did not use Lin Quan in this game.

After seeing this result, the fans were disappointed and began to accept the results reported by the media: Lin Quanzhen will miss this European Cup!

The Turkish coach was overjoyed to see that Lin Quan was not in the Spanish lineup. He firmly implemented the established tactics and deployed a 433 formation to fight against Spain.

Bosque was naturally eager for this. If you want to attack, then come on! In this game, the entire Spanish team seemed to have changed, especially the three forwards, who seemed to have suddenly become smart overnight and could shoot.

In the 34th minute of the first half, after a series of wonderful cooperation, Spain's attack shifted to the left. Nolito dribbled the ball to the bottom and sent a high-quality cross.

The opponent's defender made a fatal mistake of heading the ball. Morata rushed over smartly, accepted the gift and headed the ball into the goal easily.

The score became 1:0!

With morale boosted, Spain further intensified its siege of Türkiye.

Faced with heavy pressure and impatience after falling behind in the score, the Turkish players made frequent mistakes.

Just two minutes after the last goal was conceded, the Turkish defender made another huge mistake when clearing the ball. Topal headed the ball but failed to get it out of the penalty area and instead gave it to the Spanish winger Nolito.

The latter was taken aback, and after reacting he shot the ball into the dead corner, 2-0!

Spain scored again! Turkey's morale was severely damaged by the continuous loss of goals. Their head coach was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot on the sidelines, shouting and yelling at the players on the field, but to no avail.

In the second half, Türkiye made the first substitution, with Sahin, who plays for Dortmund, coming on to replace Calhanoglu of Leverkusen.

However, this substitution did not have any effect. Sahin is no longer the young wind-chasing boy who shone across Europe. He has long lost the spirituality of his youth.

In the 48th minute, Spain once again played a wonderful combination.

Iniesta received the pass from Professor Bu, evaded the opponent's interception and moved forward with the ball.

He accurately found the loophole in the opponent's defense line, and after reaching the front of the penalty area, he sent a straight pass. Alba followed up and prepared to shoot, but the opponent's goalkeeper was prepared and moved in advance to block Alba's shooting angle.

Faced with this opportunity to shoot or pass, Alba did not take the credit, but passed the ball across the goal, where Morata easily pushed the ball into the empty net, making the score 3:0. Spain expanded its lead, and Morata also completed his first brace in this European Cup.

After scoring this goal, Morata became extremely excited.

The previous criticism from the outside world put him under tremendous pressure, and under the pressure he even began to doubt his own abilities.

And before the start of this European Cup, his agent told him that Real Madrid would send someone to the scene to observe his performance.

This is related to whether he can transfer back to Real Madrid from Juventus. If he doesn't play well in this game again, he is really worried that he will not be able to return to the Bernabeu.

In the first game, Morata was severely criticized by the outside world for his poor performance. After he scored twice in this game, the fans' attitude towards him immediately changed 180 degrees.

Countless Spanish fans regard him as the new savior of the team, hoping that he can take up the team's banner and lead Spain to create new miracles in the absence of Lin Quan, the soul of the team.

The applause and cheers from the fans, and his inner desire to perform well in front of his new club, made Morata the most active player on the field.

After scoring twice, he was still not satisfied and actively participated in every scramble, wanting to score the third goal and complete his first hat trick in this European Cup.

In the 49th minute, Morata headed the ball from behind the goal, but it was a pity that the ball was a little off and he missed the chance to complete a hat-trick.

In the 64th minute, Spain got a free kick opportunity. Ramos took the penalty and the ball hit the wall and bounced out of the bottom line.

After Spain took a corner kick, Morata and Ramos jumped high to compete for the landing point, but neither of them got the first point and the ball was cleared by the opponent's defender.

In the 68th minute, Morata had the best chance to complete a hat-trick.

Spain cooperated in the frontcourt. Iniesta took the ball from the outside and passed it diagonally to Morata. Morata was a little anxious when receiving the ball. He did not continue to break forward, but took a long shot directly. As a result, the opponent's goalkeeper fell to the ground and blocked the ball.

Spain then made substitutions, with David Silva and Fabregas being substituted one after another.

The defending champion is about to call it a day!

After losing the support of the midfield, Morata, Nolito and others had much fewer opportunities, and neither side made any progress in more than 20 minutes.

The final score of the game was 3:0. Spain achieved two consecutive victories in the absence of its core player Lin Quan and advanced to the group stage one round ahead of schedule.

Although three goals were commonplace for the Spanish team in the past, it can be said to be an incredible record for the Spanish team without Lin Quan.

And this score is also the biggest score difference since the start of this European Cup! Most of the teams that can participate in the European Cup are very strong, and it is difficult to play a very big score difference.

In competitions of the level of the European Cup and the World Cup, the intensity of the competition is actually much higher than that of the Champions League.

In the Champions League and club leagues, players are just wage earners who punch a clock in and work according to how much money they are paid. At most, when it comes to honors such as championship titles, they can rely on the coach's motivation to get motivated.

But in national team matches, especially the World Cup and European Cup, which are held every four years and can bring glory to the country, the players do not need anyone to motivate them; they motivate themselves.

Many fans feel that the World Cup and European Cup games are not exciting to watch. This is mainly because the physical confrontation in these games is very fierce, the defensive intensity is very high, and the offense is too difficult.

Not many goals can be scored in a game, as it is all about confrontation. It is definitely not as good as the club's pizza where goals are scored like crazy.

In addition, the national team's selection base is too narrow, the players are not able to get enough of each other, and their lack of coordination is also an important reason why the game is not good.

It is also because of this that the national teams of many countries simply copy the lineup of a certain club.

For example, the Spanish team's Barcelona central axis, the Italian team's Juventus defense line and so on.

…

Just as they defeated Turkey, good news came from another stadium.

Croatia was leading 2:0, but was equalized by the Czech team in injury time!

In this way, in the next game between Spain and Croatia, as long as they draw, they can get first place in the group!

After winning this game, Bosque was even more proud and praised his students once again. When the reporter asked about Lin Quan again, Bosque still spoke in the same tone as before:

"Lin is ready to play for the team at any time!"

It's just that everyone chooses to ignore this kind of words.

"It seems that we have underestimated Spain's strength. Although they are missing Lin Huang, their lineup is still too luxurious. The strength of these top stars should not be underestimated!"

"Morata, the striker, doesn't look as bad as imagined. Maybe he just played poorly in the last game!"

Criticisms and doubts about Spain on the Internet began to decrease, and voices praising and recognizing them gradually increased.

Bragging when they win and criticizing when they lose is just the basic behavior of some fans.

In the subsequent matches of Group E and Group F, Italy and Belgium defeated their respective opponents.

Italy won both games and advanced to the next round one round in advance.

After Belgium got 3 points, the situation for qualifying has improved. As long as they beat Sweden in the next game, they can ensure qualification.

As for Sweden and Ireland, both teams currently have only one point. If they want to qualify, they will have to fight hard against their opponents in the next game.

Compared to Group E, the matches in Group F are very interesting.

Both games in the second round ended in a draw, with Portugal and Austria drawing 0-0.

Hungary 1:1 Iceland.

Such a result is very beneficial for Hungary. With 4 points, they have taken the initiative in qualifying. As long as they don't lose in the next game, they can ensure qualification and even secure first place in the group.

As for the remaining three teams, Iceland and Portugal have only 2 points each, and Austria has only 1 point.

They must fight hard for victory in the next game to have any hope of qualifying, especially for Portugal. If they unfortunately draw in the next game against Hungary, they will most likely be eliminated.

Such a result has increased the outside world's doubts about Ronaldo. Portugal's lineup is indeed not as strong as top teams like Germany, France and Spain.

But it can’t be that weak, right?

Ronaldo has not scored in two consecutive games, which makes people doubt his condition.

For a player of his age, this may very well be his last European Cup.

When the next European Cup starts, Ronaldo will be 35 years old. Even if he participates, how much strength and condition will he have left? If he does not take advantage of the excellent opportunity of being in his prime and strive for a good result, there will really be no chance.

"Alas, when it comes to national team honors, Ronaldo and Messi are really brothers in distress!"

"Portugal's overall strength is weak, while Argentina's overall strength is not weak, but they are unlucky. They either meet an unreliable head coach like Maradona or a strong opponent like Spain. If they had been luckier, they might have won the World Cup!"

"As for Portugal, there is really nothing we can do about it. Ronaldo's performance is indeed not good, but didn't Ibrahimovic next door also fail to hold up the team? Modern football is no longer a game that can be won by one person, it is a game for the team!"

Although this is the case, some people still feel dissatisfied. After all, there really is a monster in the football world who can change the outcome of a game by himself!

As the group stage draws to a close, several favorites to win the European Cup have also been revealed.

"Looking at the current games, the teams most likely to win the championship are Spain, Germany and France. The rest of the teams don't have much hope!"

"Haha, don't I, Italy, have any dignity?"

"My British Empire can fight, and we are still undefeated!"

As soon as this was said, everyone started laughing, and the Internet was immediately filled with a happy atmosphere! (End of this chapter)
