Chapter 318: The Matador Who Fell into a Rage
Screaming and standing up and clapping his hands.
Then, make a gesture to keep pressing forward!
That's all Li Bing saw when Aragonés reacted, and he didn't expect to raise his foot and kick a bottle of water or smash the plastic guardrail of the command seat with his fist when he turned around!
Li Bing found that the attitudes and methods adopted by world-class marshals such as Li Tongfan and Aragonés in the face of problems were often beyond his expectations, and if he extrapolated these people with common sense, he would definitely be shocked again and again.
However, Li Bing thought about it again, maybe it is precisely because of these "abnormal" existences that everything will become "normal", because if their behavior can be inferred just by common sense, then how can they often surprise their opponents tactically and deal a fatal blow?
The road to becoming a world-class marshal is still a long, long way for Li Bing!
…… On the field, the game continues!
England are like cunning rattlesnakes that have spit out a letter and sprayed venom once, leaving scars on their opponents' bodies and then quickly retracting, coiling up to defend with all their might, waiting for the next opportunity to come.
With the Three Lions' tactics, the Spanish team did not create good scoring chances again, on the one hand, conceding two goals in a row did affect their morale, and on the other hand, there was not much time left in the game!
Swiss referee Sendriz only gave 2 minutes of stoppage time!
When the Spanish team fell 73 times in a row in the midfield under the control of [Ventilator] Xavi, they were about to use the last bit of time to launch a forced attack, but someone did not give the Matadors such a chance...... Force~~~~ The whistle sounds!
The first half is over!
David Villa, who had already received Xavi's pass on the edge of the box, kicked the ball hard towards England...... At this time, goalkeeper Joe Hart had already walked out of the penalty area with Taylor and others, but even in the face of an empty goal, Villa still sent the football to the post...... Don't get in with an empty door?
Hell yes!
There was a burst of laughter from the stands behind the goal from England fans!
Villa froze, shook his head helplessly, and turned to walk towards the players' tunnel.
The commentator Sester also shamelessly followed suit: "Woo, haha, it seems that God abandoned the Spanish team today, and David Villa, who is the top scorer in Euro 2008...... Michael Owen has already scored one goal and his tally for the tally is also three, and with a little luck, Owen could overtake Villa in the next 45 minutes and dominate the ......."
At this time, all the players on the field have walked into the players' tunnel.
Forty-five minutes ago, the huge lawn that was green and embedded in the middle of the Cindy Wally Stadium like a crystal jade became potholed after the tragic fighting between the two sides, and the "scars" looked shocking from the stands!
Huge electronic screens hanging over the pitch replayed over and over again images of England's two goals and the dangerous chances created by Spain, and there was still applause and cheers from the stands.
The game was suspended, and the fans who had been nervous for 45 minutes could finally sit down and breathe a sigh of relief, and more than 30,000 hearts that had been beating violently just now did not have to worry about the tense situation on the field!
Even the entire city of Innsbruck seemed to have suddenly become much quieter due to the temporary suspension of the game.
Fifteen minutes into half-time, the players and fans were rested.
And the busiest person is the manager!
The fighting style of Aragonés and the madman Li of [God on Football], it seems that the "wise man" lost to the "God" for the time being, and after adjustment, who will have the last laugh in the next half?
The whole world is waiting for answers!
…… Fifteen minutes later.
Force~~ The whistle of the Swiss referee Sendriz, like a sudden trumpet on the battlefield, pulled all the fans inside and outside the stadium back into the tense battle group on the green field.
Cheers, applause, boos, middle fingers, fists, lighters, coins, confetti, pits...... Everything that should have been in the heat of a football match is back at the New Tivoli Stadium, and the beautiful town of Innsbruck, which has had a fifteen-minute respite, is back in a tense and anxious atmosphere!
Less than three minutes into the second half, both sides began to make frequent substitutions.
In the 46th minute, Aragonés took the lead.
Legion striker David Silva was not able to make a difference in Spain's attack in the first half, and he was replaced by Liverpool defender Xavi Alonso. It seems that [Football Wisdom] is hoping to use Alonso's large-scale vertical shift to create opportunities for the two strikers of the Matadors!
Alonso did cause a lot of problems for England's backline after he came on, Torres no longer pulled the side, but was used by Aragonés as a stumping bridgehead, and began to create scoring opportunities for the small but dexterous David Villa!
……“…… It was Alonso's wide-ranging move again, and Torres headed into the box...... Villa!! Villa's movement penetrated England's defence...... Shot!! Whew...... It's Joe Hart again, the City goalkeeper saves Villa's close-range shot!! ”
"Joe Hart, this madman Lee stared at the 22-year-old goalkeeper who was promoted from Championship side Rochdahl to the national team under great pressure, showing a world-class standard! In today's match, even St. Cassie was overshadowed by Joe Hart's light......"
“…… Joe Hart's emergence has solved the goalkeeper shortage in England since Seaman's retirement, but only the madman Lee in this world would dare to use a newcomer with no experience in the top flight in the goalkeeper position?
…… Faced with an unfavorable situation, Li Tongfan did not make the supporters of the Three Lions wait too long this time!
In the 50th minute, England also made a substitution.
And, two fresh players were brought on in one go - two wingers Steven Downing and Ashley Young, who had been outstanding in the previous game, were both introduced, and Crouch and James Milner were substituted to the applause of the English fans.
After the substitution, the England team quickly changed formations!
Michael Owen was put up front after Crouch's departure, Downing and Ashley Young controlled the corridors on either side of the Three Lions without any suspense, Liverpool's soul Steven Gerrard was retracted into the middle to play the role of a midfielder and shadow striker, and the original forward Frank Lampard's position was slightly withdrawn to become a MC...... As a result, England's formation became 4-1-3-1-1.
While Downing and Ashley Young are both clearly attacking wingers, England's midfield defences have increased thanks to the presence of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard...... Spain no longer have a pure winger on the pitch and cannot give England enough threat on the flanks!
In fact, if you look closely, you can find that whether it is the previous 4-1-2-1-2 wings flying together or the current 4-1-3-1-1 formation, Li Tongfan has indeed deliberately strengthened the defensive ability of the England team.
Because, in the face of a team like Spain that controls the flow of technology, you will definitely not be able to go around without paying attention to defense!
The formation of the England team after the change of formation obviously restrained Spain faintly.
Beckham in [Superman Status] can spare all his energy to limit [Ventilator] Harvey.
Frank Lampard and Marcos Alonso have long been rivals in the Premier League.
And Gerrard, who was hailed by Zidane as the best midfielder in Europe, was also slightly better when facing the defense of Senna, the captain of the yellow submarine Villarreal!
Although Michael Owen on the forward line is short, his ability to grab points with his header is absolutely first-class, not to mention that the height of the Spanish team's central defenders Puyol and Marchena is also not "tall"!
Therefore, as time passed, people gradually found that the advantage on the field no longer belonged to the Spanish team, although the Matadors still occupied a certain lead in terms of possession, but the England team's attack was more efficient, sharp and deadly!
From the 50th minute to the 60th minute of the game, England gradually surpassed Spain in the number of shots on goal.
The Three Lions were defensive in the middle and aggressive on the flanks. Ashley Young and Downing's two speedy wingers roared around the medieval Iberian Peninsula like horse bandits, writhing through the corridors to the left and right of the Spanish team.
For a while, a steady stream of passes were sent into the penalty area, and if it weren't for the man known as San Cassie who saved Owen's overhead kicks again and again amid the exclamations and applause of the fans, it is estimated that the game would have ended early!
In the 70th minute, Aragonés, who had been suppressed by Li Tongfan in the manager's fighting style, made the last counterattack - under his adjustment, the Spanish team began to shift all the offensive focus to the right side of the England team. Manzioni, a young player with a yellow card, began to come under great pressure, without the assistance of Gerrard on the wing, and in the face of breakthroughs from the likes of Andres Iniesta and Torres, Manzioni was quickly drowned in the red attacking frenzy!
The cheers of the Spanish fans in the stands at the new Duvoli Stadium did not last more than three minutes, and Lee Tong-fan quickly made up for the Three Lions' last shortcoming on the pitch with a second substitution - the rookie Manzioni with a yellow card!
Aston Villa's defensive midfielder Gareth Barry on!
Barry did not play in a central midfield role when he came on, but replaced Manzioni on the right side of the England team.
In the next few minutes of the battle, Gareth Barry firmly withstood Iniesta's onslaught with his good positioning ability, and the Spanish team's offensive once again lost its way!
Li Tongfan stood on the sidelines and let out a laugh!
Although Barry is a thunderous midfielder at Villa Park and is extremely good in the defensive midfield, the FM2008 system tells Lao Li that Barry can also play the right-back position! This substitution extinguished the last glimmer of hope for Spain!
As time went on, both the fans and the players on the pitch began to get agitated. With less than ten minutes left, the difference between the two goals seemed to be an insurmountable barrier for the Matadors!
At this time, the Spanish team suffered another blow!
Lee Tong-beom's substitution had a noticeable effect. When Iniesta was preparing for the third strong burst on the right side, Gareth Barry, who had been prepared, cleanly used his body to break the ball, and then took advantage of the situation to kick a straight ball along the sideline!
It was Ashley Young who received Barry's pass!
The chemistry between the two Aston Villa players was absolutely evident in this moment. After receiving the football, Jan used his instantaneous terrifying explosiveness to shake off Alonso's entanglement, and resolutely dribbled the ball along the side!
Spain's left-back Capdeve was no match for the framed Ashley Young, and the England winger had just one chance to break through with ease!
It wasn't until near the baseline that Ashley Young opted for an inverted triangle cross!
One and a half highballs!
This way of passing the ball made the two central defenders of the Spanish team very uncomfortable!
Marchena, who was in front of him, was about to bow down and stretch out his head to clear the siege, when suddenly a golden head burst out from behind him and grabbed the football in front of him!
Bang!
A loud sound that made all the Spanish fans grieving!
Like white lightning, the soccer ball suddenly changed direction and flew straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!
It's too close!
The ball is too fast!
In the face of such a shot, Casillas could no longer hold on to the last shred of hope for the Matadors, and the football flew into the goal under the desperate eyes of all the Spaniards, sending the net into waves!
3:0!!
“…… goooooooooooooooooooal!!!! Michael Owen! The game ended early! ”
“…… Oops~~~ The ball is in! Irving! Owen scored! Duan Xuan was excited: "Ashley Young's high-quality cross created this goal, but the biggest hero stood on the sidelines, he was Li Tongfan!" Whether it is from the tactical arrangement, on-the-spot command, or substitution, Li Tongfan has obviously suppressed Aragonés! ”
“…… The outcome is decided, but this defeat is not the worst possible outcome for Spain and we still have a lot of hope of qualifying! Fernando Garcia of Spain was no longer angry at this moment: "It was a timely lesson, he told us that anything can happen in the Euros and that we have to give it our all in any game!" ”
…… on the field.
Owen's second goal completely shattered Spain's confidence in a comeback.
The continuous crossbars and columns throughout the game, coupled with the tactical restraint of the England team, made every Spanish player have a fire in their hearts. This agitation is slowly reflected in the action of kicking the ball.
Marchena, who had just been "sneak attacked" by Owen from behind and scored a goal, was completely in a rage, and the tackle became more and more brutal, until ...... - more than 4,000 words, still not finished! It can't be more streamlined, and the time has come!
But basically this game is over!
Because, the score is already frozen!
