Chapter 986
The arm could not twist the thigh, and Guardiola could not twist the thigh in the end.
After signing a series of unequal treaties, the former Barcelona coach received a ticket to Poland and Ukraine.
On June 10, they appeared in Gdansk, Poland, visited the Spanish national team's hotel, chatted with Bosque and several players, and appeared in the Gdansk Arena that night to watch the first round of the Spanish European Cup.
Bosque has arranged his long-planned strikeless tactics in this game, but he did not choose Michu, who performed well in Arsenal, but arranged Barcelona player Fabregas.
What is even more rare is that the three offensive players in the frontcourt are Fabregas, Iniesta and David Silva, and there is no regular scorer, which has to be said to be a very rare thing.
Gathered the world's best organizers, Spain controlled the ball without surprise, but Italy was not completely powerless to resist. When it lost control, it stood firmly at the forefront of its own penalty area and did not give Spain any chance.
In front of Italy's iron walls, Spain's pass control and penetration were done well, but it was not sharp enough, which made the game even look dull and boring. On the contrary, Italy's counterattack was exciting, and De Rossi and Pirlo were in the middle and backcourt dispatch and long passes were all very threatening.
"Boske's tactics in this game are very big." Gao Han shook his head and said.
"Yes." Guardiola sighed, "The middle lane is bloated, but the wing lane has no width. The attack forward is not sharp enough and lacks depth. Even if Italy gives up this area between the front of the penalty area and between 30 meters, Spain will not be able to create a threat. It is impossible to penetrate Italy's iron wall by passing alone."
At this moment, Gao Han suddenly remembered Camacho.
He also clearly remembers that while he coached Atletico Madrid, Aragones once mentioned Camacho to him.
Boske in this game was doing the mistake Camacho made back then.
"I seriously doubt that since he wants to play Wufeng, why not Michu? He can not only deal with Italian central defenders, but also pull back and forth, which is more effective than Fabregas avoiding Italian central defenders."
"There are two more sides, and Aveloa on the right is obviously too conservative."
When Gao Han pointed out this problem, it was obvious that Xavi was shouting Aveloa loudly in the stadium, indicating that he would press more on Giacherini on the left side of Italy, rather than always standing in the back position.
But Aveloa pointed behind him, as if saying that he wanted to protect the defense hinterland.
"Aveloa's speed is not fast enough. If he presses forward, he will take on the role of a full-back or even a winger like Alba. It is difficult for him to come back in time at his speed. Moreover, Italy's game is more diagonal, playing behind two full-backs." Guardiola analyzed.
Two Italian forwards Balotelli and Casano also actively pull the edge, and De Rossi and Pirlo will also choose whether to pass the wing or the forward based on the positions of the two Spanish fullbacks, which makes Spain's defense very embarrassing.
From Aveloa's point of view, his choice is not wrong.
If he presses up and is beaten by the opponent, Balotelli and Casano can directly create a threat. This is too risky. Under the tactical system of Mourinho of Real Madrid, this is a mistake that is not allowed to be made in any case.
The problem now is that Spain's frontcourts avoid Italian central defenders to avoid direct physical confrontation. This is to facilitate passes and control the ball, but once the ball is lost, there is no way to put pressure on Italy's midfield and backcourt as soon as possible.
If Italy failed to form oppression at the first time, it would be possible for Italy to immediately transfer the ball to the wing, and the full-back failed to suppress Italy's wing in time, making it easy for Italy to create a threat through the wing once it counterattacks.
"In this game, Italy's 352 formation tactics are of great value and almost restrains Spain. But the problem is Bosque himself. Even if he doesn't trust Michu who has no experience in the competition, he should at least play Torres. The two full-backs should be pushed. With the width of the offense, he can suppress Italy's wing."
"Averoya should be replaced by Carvajal." Guardiola laughed.
Gao Han laughed. He and Guardiola both tend to be offensive, so they naturally think so.
When your side controls the ball, attack instead of defense, and Alba and Carvajal, who have stronger personal offensive capabilities, form the wings of Chinatown to suppress Italy's wings, which can greatly activate the offense in the frontcourt.
…………
…………
The tactics in the first half were of great value, but the game was dull, but the second half was much better.
However, Italy was the first to score.
After receiving the ball in the middle, Pirlo suddenly chose to drive the ball forward, breaking through the defense of two Spanish midfielders, and directly crossing behind the defense. Dinatale, who came on the bench, intercepted the offside, and after getting the ball, he formed a single shot and calmly shot to score.
This goal completely broke the deadlock on the court. Pirlo suddenly dribbled the ball and disrupted the defensive deployment of the Spanish midfielder. The last straight pass was also quite sharp and accurate.
But after conceding the ball, Spain also started to counterattack and equalized the score three minutes later.
Afterwards, Bosque made a decisive substitution adjustment, replaced Atletico Madrid's Nawǎsi and Torres, respectively, and replaced David Silva and Fabregas. This was obviously to strengthen the offense in the frontcourt and use the threat of Nawǎsi's wide-border threat.
Facts have proved that the substitution effect is very obvious. Torres's appearance makes Spain's offense more sharp. At least someone can break behind Italy's defense line to create a threat, or even form a single sword, instead of just controlling the ball in front of the defense line.
But in the end, Spain failed to reverse the situation and was tied by Italy one-to-one.
After the game, everyone affirmed Boske's tactical changes without a striker, but felt very puzzled that he did not choose a genuine attacker, but relied on Fabregas, and was deeply questioned about his formation.
In addition, it turns out that after consecutive substitutions, Spain's offense is indeed more threatening.
On the court, the scene of Xavi yelling at Aveloa was also noticed by the media and fans. The game mentality of Real Madrid's right-back, which was too conservative, formed a clear contrast with Alba on the left.
Nawǎ si's substitute is known as the Spanish attacking waking up from a dream.
Gao Han also secretly reminded Boske of his thoughts in his subsequent column.
Perhaps it was his own reflection, or perhaps it was because he saw Gao Han's column, Boske quickly made adjustments in the second round of group stage, winning Fabregas and Aveloa, and replacing Torres and Carvajal.
This is a very positive and obvious xin hào who strengthened the offense. As a result, Spain defeated Ireland with a four-to-zero 4. Torres scored twice, David Silva made a two-pass and one shot, and Spain made a very sharp attack. In the whole game, twenty shots were directly aimed at Ireland's goal, and the shot was even more missed.
It can be said that this game made Spain completely proud, and the pressure on Bosque was greatly reduced.
But in the third round of the group stage, against Croatia, Bosque made another adjustment. There was no change in the frontcourt, and Torres continued, but on the right, he still chose Aveloa, who had better defensive skills.
The game was going badly, with a slow pace and lacking width in the offense. After Alba was stared at the left, Aveloa on the right could not support it on the offensive end. The speed was too slow and he repeatedly missed opportunities.
The lack of threat on the offensive end, but the opponent's counterattack has caused a lot of trouble for Spain, especially the gap left by the full-backs, which has become a big problem that has troubled Spain.
Moreover, there was a very obvious xin hào in the Spanish team, that is, few people pass the ball to Aveloa, unless it was absolutely necessary, this obviously lacks confidence in him and believes that it is difficult to create a threat when the ball hits his feet.
The right winger Na wǎ si scored the only goal in the game after coming on the bench, which was also regarded as the xin hào that Boske should have completely reflected on. After all, it was definitely not accidental that both games were played like this.
Entering the quarterfinals knockout round, Italy welcomed the French team.
Boske finally made another adjustment, replacing Torres with Fabregas and replaced Averoa with Carvajal. As a result, facing Ribery, who was not willing to return to defense, Carvajal became the most threatening player in the game. He was like entering a no-man's land, breaking through the entire left side of the French team.
If he survived on the right, he would have more opportunities in the middle and wings. In the end, Alba assisted Xavi Alonso to score the first goal, and then Xavi Alonso scored another penalty, and Spain eliminated the French team 2-0.
But when he entered the semi-finals, he met Portugal and was afraid of Cristiano Ronaldo on the left side. Bosque once again arranged for Aveloa, who had stronger defensive capabilities. As a result, the offense was set again, drew with Portugal by zero to zero, and finally he narrowly advanced to the finals with a penalty kick.
When they met Italy again, both sides made some adjustments, Italy changed to 442, while Spain arranged for Carvajal to replace Aveloa, and as a result, the devil wings of Chinatown shone brightly again.
Just fourteen minutes in the first half, Xavi Alonso made a diagonal pass, and Carvajal was extremely fast, chasing all the way to the right side of the penalty area. After removing the ball, he moved to the middle, and Fabregas assisted David Silva to start the first record.
But Kavajal's raid on the right left an extremely deep impression on everyone.
Before the first half was over, Alba made a raid on the left, winning another goal for Spain, rewriting the score to 2-0.
The outstanding performance of the two full-backs created Spain's lead in the first half, and on the defensive end, Carvajal and Alba also performed quite well, especially Carvajal, who returned to Pique many times to intercept Casano.
It can be said that the two goals in the first half basically established Spain's victory, and the European Cup crown was almost worn on Spain in advance.
After the second half of the game, Spain continued to maintain its advantage on the court. Torres, who came on the bench, made a pass and shot, helping Spain score two more goals, and finally broke Italy with a big 4-0 and won the European Cup championship.
Spain's success and strength are evident, but the arrangement of Bosque's troops in this cup has caused considerable controversy, and the main focus is on the front line and right back.
Should Torres? Why can’t Carvajal get trust?
These two issues have become the most heated topics in Spain after the European Cup.
Especially the award selection that started after the European Cup came to an end further promoted this hot discussion.
