"France gets the ball, Griezmann pushes forward and passes it to Mbappe on the wing!"

"Mbappe broke through and passed Spain's full-back Calhava. What a fast speed!"

When Griezmann passed the ball, Mbappe was still a whole body length behind Carvajal, but when Mbappe started accelerating, he quickly left his opponent behind and overtook him directly on the curve.

This dynamic scene caught the eyes of the audience and stunned everyone.

Before the game, everyone had more or less heard that the French team had a very fast winger, but no one expected him to be so fast.

The opponent is not an unknown player. He is the main full-back of Real Madrid and the Spanish team, but he is no match for Mbappe.

"It's like he turned on nitrous acceleration!"

"Mbappe you are my Superman!"

"Go, Mbappe, go, France!"

The French fans in the stands saw Mbappe eating the opponent's defender alive and climaxed on the spot, and almost pinned all their hopes on him.

After passing Carvajal, Mbappe did not continue to dribble the ball down the line, but chose to cut inside. However, Pique had already come over to fill the position, and Koke in the middle was also moving towards this position, and would soon double-team him.

Faced with this critical situation, Mbappe showed the style of a great general.

He dribbled the ball calmly to the inside, seemingly preparing to shoot from a small angle.

But in fact, after dribbling the ball to the bottom line, he lost position with Giroud who had reached the middle of the penalty area, and finally had the opportunity to pass the ball to his teammates.

Mbappe did not choose to shoot himself, but passed the ball to Giroud who was in a better position.

Giroud didn't seem to expect his teammates to be so selfless, and in his haste he actually hit the ball wide!

In order to prevent Mbappe from shooting, Spain's goalkeeper De Gea stood closer to the near corner of the goal.

Giroud chose to shoot in the far corner. As long as he could hit the goal frame, De Gea would most likely surrender.

But unfortunately, Giroud did not seize this opportunity.

There was a huge sigh from the stands, as the French fans looked very disappointed after seeing Giroud miss the chance.

Mbappe was even more disappointed than them. If I had known that Giroud was so unreliable, I would have done it myself! Mbappe could have shot the ball by himself, but he saw that the opponent's goalkeeper had blocked it, and his shooting angle was not big. If he forced the shot, the probability of scoring was very low.

So the ball was passed to Giroud who was in a better position, but Giroud wasted his assist.

Although France's attack did not result in a goal, they were very close to it.

The Spanish team was shocked and began to realize the seriousness of the matter.

Sure enough, the second half of the game was really different from the first half.

The opponent's condition has obviously improved. Is it really a slow-starting team? "Focus, cheer up, and pay attention to your position when defending!"

Bosque was also scared and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly shouted to the players on the field, asking them to concentrate.

The opponent attacked so fiercely in the early stages of the game that the Spanish team had to stabilize the rhythm first and wait until the opponent's offensive was consumed before they could continue to exert their strength.

Now, if we fight against the opponent's offensive, the speed of the game will be increased to the highest level.

In this state, the players will consume a lot of physical energy and make more mistakes. Both sides will have a lot of opportunities. Who can score a goal depends on who has a better ability to seize opportunities.

If the Spanish team is in good physical condition and the team is behind or evenly matched in the game, he wouldn't mind having a clash with them like this.

But now Spain is leading, and their physical fitness cannot withstand such torture.

So Bosque had no intention of playing against the opponent! Spain must stick to its own tactical style, firmly control the ball at its feet, and not be dragged into the opponent's rhythm.

Contrary to Bosque's position, France coach Deschamps hopes to continue to speed up the pace of the game.

Everyone knows that Spain's lineup is seriously aging and will have physical problems in the second half.

In this case, we must naturally seize this weakness and attack it to the death.

If the game were to be accelerated to the point where the two teams were stabbing and exploding each other, he was confident that he could defeat the Spanish team within 20 minutes.

But unfortunately, judging from the response of the old man Bosque, the other party was not fooled at all.

As expected of a legendary coach who has won two World Cup and European Cup trophies, he really has something.

But if you want to keep it stable, can you really do it?

Did the Spanish team ask the French team for their opinion when they wanted to have safe possession of the ball? Deschamps waved his hand and said, "Grab it!"

Completely different from the relatively conservative style of play in the first half, the French team in the second half was like a group of mad dogs.

They went crazy, pressing the Spanish players who had the ball so hard that they couldn't even hold on to the ball.

In order to prevent losing the ball, the Spanish team had to passively speed up the frequency of passing the ball. Many times they didn't even see the position of their teammates clearly, but had to pass the ball quickly because of the crazy pressure from their opponents.

In this state, they cannot achieve the passing and controlling effect at all, because their passing and controlling space is severely compressed and cut by the opponent.

Moreover, because of the hasty passing, the success rate of passing was not guaranteed at all, and the opponent's success rate of stealing was also high, which caused a fire in the backyard of the Spanish team as they passed the ball.

"Why do I feel that the Spanish team's passing and controlling tactics have been cracked by the French team?"

"Well, they made a lot of passing errors during this period. There were several times when the opponent almost intercepted the ball in the backcourt and launched a counterattack on the spot!"

In the stands, the commentators were shocked to see this scene.

Eight years ago, the Spanish national team and Barcelona won numerous honors in the World Cup, European Cup and Champions League with their passing and controlling style of play.

Spain's passing and controlling football began to dominate the football world!

Over the years, countless teams have studied and targeted the passing and controlling tactics, but no one has ever truly cracked this tactic.

But today, the French team seemed to have found a way to crack it.

If Deschamps knew what the outside world was thinking, he would probably laugh.

How could he do something that so many people couldn't do?

The reason is actually very simple, it’s just that they can run and carry more than their opponents.

The French team is dark and tough, with good physical fitness, young, able to run and fight, so when they meet the Spanish team, which is a white chicken, they will be defeated easily. Before participating in the World Cup, he regarded the Spanish team as the biggest competitor of the French team, so he began to study the technical and tactical style and playing style of the Spanish team several years ago.

By watching a large number of game videos and studying the playing styles of specific players on the Spanish team, he summed up some rules: the Spanish team's running ability is not outstanding, and the Spanish team's physical confrontation ability is relatively weak.

Coincidentally, these two are the specialties of the French team.

In this case, we must naturally make full use of our own advantages and seize the opponent's weaknesses to beat them to death.

Judging from the current results, this trick is very useful.

The Spanish players were not used to the French team's highly aggressive style of play, and they subconsciously chose to dodge.

Therefore, the ball that was supposed to be passed outwards all became sideways passes or even back passes.

In this way, the opponent will naturally press forward in a big way, completely compressing their passing and control space within the narrow area of ​​their own half.

At this point, the Spanish team's passing and control could no longer be maintained.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

In such a small area, with so many players concentrated on both sides, passing and controlling the ball would simply be giving the ball to the opponent.

Therefore, under tremendous defensive pressure, the Spanish side even started to make long passes in the backcourt.

It is called a pass, but in fact there is no player in front of the team. This long pass is actually just a clearance.

But using this method to resolve the situation is simply a temporary solution and will not have any effect at all.

Before they could catch their breath, the opponent passed the ball a few times and the ball returned to the front of the Spanish penalty area.

Now, the situation of the game was completely reversed from the first half, from the Spanish team besieging the French team's goal to the French team besieging the Spanish team's goal.

"I am not seeing things, the French team is so fierce that they are crushing the Spanish team!"

"It was really unexpected. After all, they were the ones being pinned to the ground in the first half. Who could have thought that in just a dozen or twenty minutes, the situation would change so drastically."

"After watching the first half, I had only one thought in my mind: Is this all the French team is? But after watching the second half, I realized that the French team really lived up to their reputation. It was as if the team was reborn in the second half. It was simply terrifying!"

"It's really outrageous. It wasn't that long ago, but it's like the French team suddenly woke up and became stronger."

The performance of the French team shocked many fans. If other teams were completely suppressed by them, there would be no such effect.

But the team that was suppressed by the French team was the Spanish team, winner of two World Cups and three European Cups! This team has been invincible and has dominated the football world for nearly 10 years! For many young fans who have watched football for a short time, they have never seen the Spanish team play so passively.

"Pogba passes the ball, Mbappe breaks through, he gets past the defender and he shoots!"

"De Gea!"

"The Spanish goalkeeper stepped up once again and blocked Mbappe's high-quality shot with one hand."

In the studio, the commentators were praising De Gea's godly save at the top of their lungs.

De Gea, who completed this wonderful save, couldn't help but hold his knees and gasp for breath.

The Spanish team has been in a state of panic in front of their goal during this period, and the busiest player has changed from Lori to De Gea.

The opponent's attack this round was extremely fierce, leaving no time for us to breathe.

He couldn't remember how many times he had saved the shots. He only remembered that in just a few minutes, he saved shots from Mbappe, Giroud, Griezmann and others.

"De Gea!"

"De Gea!"

"De Gea!"

The Spanish fans in the stands were so impressed by De Gea's outstanding performance during this period that they almost wanted to call him "Big Daddy".

De Gea is a goalkeeper with excellent goal-line skills. His attack may not be as good as Neuer and others, but in the area in front of the goal line, he is invincible! During this period, he almost single-handedly kept the Spanish team's goal intact.

Although Spanish fans now worship De Gea as a god, in fact, before this, Spanish fans did not like De Gea.

Because before him, Spain's goal had always been guarded by Casillas.

There is no need to talk about Casillas's strength. His performance both in the club and in the national team has been impeccable. He is the white moonlight in the hearts of many Spanish fans.

On the other hand, De Gea's performance in the club may be very outstanding, but in the national team, his performance is far less impressive than when he was in the club. He even made low-level mistakes in the game, which made many fans question him.

But in this most crucial game, De Gea defeated himself, played at his best level, and washed away the shame with one amazing save after another.

"The Spanish team played too passively. They hardly launched any decent counterattacks during this period. If they continue to be suppressed by the opponent like this, they will lose the ball sooner or later!"

Gary Neville said proudly in the Sky Sports commentary booth.

During the half-time break, he predicted that the French team would reverse the game in the second half. Now, the French team's performance seems to have confirmed his prediction, making him very proud.

"Yes, Spain needs threatening counterattacks to make France's defense feel threatened. Otherwise, if they continue to attack in such a large way, Spain will be too passive."

Martin Taylor ignored Gary Neville's attitude and started to give advice to the Spanish team: "I think the Spanish team can change their style of play. They can consider moving Lin Quan forward and putting him on the front line. When they counterattack, they can try their luck with a long pass."

Judging from the situation on the field, the Spanish team is now unable to effectively control the midfield, and cannot even organize an effective attack through the midfield.

In this case, there is no need to continue to place Lin Quan in the attacking midfielder position. It is better to move his position forward and maximize his deterrent effect. This will make the opponent afraid to act rashly.

Moreover, unlike other old, weak and disabled players in the Spanish team, Lin Quan is very young. Judging from his several sprints on the field just now, he has no physical problems, so he is the only one who has the physical strength to attack the opponent's defense line.

"Long pass? Would the Spanish team lower themselves to use such a simple and crude tactic?"

Andy Gray on the side expressed his doubts about this. This tactic is quite common in the Premier League and is often used by mid- and lower-level teams in the league.

Compared with the more gorgeous and complex passing and controlling tactics, long pass and lob is a very simple and crude tactic. Top teams and wealthy teams generally disdain to use this tactic.

Moreover, with Lin Quan's height, can he really play long passes? (End of this chapter)
