Chapter 147 Nemesis
On the stage of the World Cup semi-finals, the old enemies of Belgium and Spain met again. This game is also regarded as the final staged in advance of this World Cup. The two teams met in the final of the previous European Cup. Once, the Belgian had the last laugh, and what was supposed to be a feud ended in anticlimactic fashion.
This time the battlefield is changed, and the two teams meet again. On the one hand, Belgium, which pursues fast play, and on the other, Spain, which pays attention to ball possession tactics. The contest between the two can be called a fierce battle. The only hope It's just that this game will not end in a tooth-piercing way, and we all hope that these two teams can dedicate an absolutely wonderful peak matchup for the fans.
Belgium is still full of elites, and the goalkeeper is the teenager Courtois, who represented the national team for the first time in an international competition, and he can have such an outstanding performance. Courtois can be said to have become famous in this World Cup. Including La Liga, many strong teams in the Premier League have offered him an olive branch. After the World Cup is over, the small Belgian league will definitely not be able to accommodate this real dragon.
The defense line is still Lombards, Kompany, Vermaelen and Alderweireld. At present, several of them have also attracted the attention of many wealthy teams, especially Kompany, who is determined to leave in Degan In the case of Fiorentina, it is obviously impossible for Viola to retain their defensive backbone. The young player Alderweireld has also attracted the attention of many quasi-rich teams such as Manchester City and Atletico Madrid.
In terms of midfield, there are still three defensive midfielders: Fellaini, Deruel and Naenglan. Fellaini has announced before that he will stay in Fiorentina. Deruel has reached an agreement with Everton. Roman attention.
The front midfielder is still Hazard. With his outstanding performance in this World Cup, the young Hazard has now been marked with a price of 30 million euros by Lille. I just don't know which team has this big. Dare to try it.
Degan's partner Lukaku is still on the front line. No one knows Degan's future, but Lukaku's future is already clear. His next stop is basically Chelsea in the Premier League.
In Spain, the goalkeeper is still captain Iker Casillas, the defense line is Capdevila, Pique, Puyol and Ramos, and the midfielder is equipped with Marchena and Xavi. , Iniesta and Pedro divided the two wings, David Silva came forward, and Villa was on the front line.
The Spaniard wanted revenge, and the Belgian was looking forward to recreating the glory of two years ago. When the game started, the two sides immediately threw themselves into a fierce fight without any temptation.
The Spanish team's ground penetration tactics are really very subtle. In their previous life, they relied on this kind of control tactics to dominate the world and won three consecutive World Championships.
However, unfortunately, everything changed because of the appearance of the butterfly Degan, and the Spaniards encountered their greatest nemesis.
Belgium's tactics are still very clear, giving up control of the midfield, delaying the Spaniard's advance speed through layers of defense, and forming a numerical advantage in some areas.
Facing other teams, this tactic may not be effective, such as the German team who play blitz tactics like fire and innocently, and the England team who have been holding long passes all their lives. If Belgium uses this tactic to defend , that is courting death, but facing the Spaniards, that could not be more appropriate.
The Spanish team is not blindly pursuing fast delivery. The essence of their tactics is to control the ball and control the rhythm of the game. But facing Belgium, their tactics can't work at all, because the Belgians don't compete with them at all.
Would you like to play?
Whatever, I'll just watch from the sidelines!
Singing a one-man show, what are you talking about controlling! That was a joke!
The Spaniards can only speed up passively, and advance forward through continuous passing and catching. However, Belgium's defense line is very delicately arranged, so that their advancing speed cannot be accelerated. Most of the time, they can only pass through crosses. , Pass back this meaningless kick to brush up the ball possession time.
"The Belgian team doesn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, and the Spanish team's advancement seems to always hit the wall. The two sides seem to be competing on two different channels. This kind of game really looks very strange!"
Is it strange?
At least the players on the Spanish field think so. They always want to lead others by the nose, but in the end they fall into the rhythm prepared by others.
This made them feel very awkward.
Bosque on the sidelines also frowned. He had already studied Belgium's offensive methods thoroughly, but how to disintegrate the Belgian's defense?
Of course Bosque knows that it is the best way to avoid the Belgian defense with a long pass, but Spain is not good at that kind of tactic. If we abandon the original tactic and play long pass instead, is that still Spain? ?
It has to be said that Cruyff has achieved the style of Spanish football, but it has also harmed the Spaniards!
Perhaps when Cruyff designed the tactical style for Barcelona, he never thought that a team would suddenly appear decades later, and through continuous exploration, create such a tactic that specifically restrains Spain.
Abandoning style means betrayal, so the Spaniards can only keep circling in circles in their alley thinking!
In the first ten minutes of the game, the football stayed at the feet of the Spanish team almost all the time, but what is surprising is that apart from David Silva's long-range kick from outside the penalty area, the only thing that can be called The threat turned out to be Degan's Fiorentina teammate Marchena's header lob from outside the penalty area, but it's a pity that such a shot could not threaten the goal guarded by Courtois.
"It's unbelievable. This is the contest between the two most powerful offensive teams in the world today. Through this ten-minute game, I can only say, boring! It's really boring! The Spaniard thinks They want to attack, but the weapons they have are simply unable to pry open the Belgian defense, and the Belgians are not in a hurry, watching Degan strolling boringly on the court, such a scene is really ironic!"
This is the evaluation of the game by a neutral commentator. The Spanish commentator was not so polite. Almost from the second minute after the start of the game, his mouth was not idle, and he started to attack Belgium. : "I just can't figure out what the Belgians are doing. Could it be that they wanted to drag the game into a penalty shootout as soon as the game started? What the hell, isn't their Digan claiming to be the number one in the world? Is this the number one in the world, I just calculated, Digan has only touched football so far, and after receiving the ball, there is no desire to move forward at all, a very simple kick back, shit! The Belgian Made what should have been a great game more disgusting than shit!"
The Spanish narrator said exactly what he said, listening to his tone and the way he frowned, it was as if he had really tried how disgusting shit can be.
How do the Spaniards say it doesn't mean anything?
The current situation on the field is obvious. The Spaniard's ball-handling tactics are really good. It's just a pity that they ran into a nemesis, a nemesis that made them helpless even though they had sharp claws and steel teeth in their mouths.
On the court, Degan is still "walking". The commentator is right, Degan is walking, and it is a very comfortable kind, but this walk is not relaxing, but accumulating strength.
When it's time to show off, as the number one in the world, Digan will never let his feet go soft!
It's now!
Digan, who was still looking like an old woman, suddenly turned around, as if hitting the accelerator on his legs, he was full of energy in an instant, and accelerated towards the Spanish half.
Just a second ago, Courtois had a big foot and went directly to Digan, and the Spanish players became a little distracted because of their irritability. Before they understood what was going on, football It has already flown over their heads.
"Opportunity! Opportunity for the Belgian team! Rhodes is running forward. There is no defensive player in front of him. Pique, who is closest to him, is at least two meters away from him."
Belgium suddenly changed its face. Just now it looked like a harmless little white rabbit, but now it suddenly mutated, with a bloody mouth and steel thorns all over it, and began to wreak havoc on the Spanish team's half.
Casillas chose to attack at the first time. If Degan was allowed to hold the ball, no goalkeeper in the world could defend Degan's shot in a one-on-one situation.
But how fast can Casillas be as a goalkeeper?
One of Degan's special skills is his explosive power and speed. Just now he used his explosive power to kill Pique who was defending him. Now is the time for him to take advantage of his speed.
The two rushed towards the football at the same time. Originally, Casillas was closer, but in the blink of an eye, Casillas' distance advantage disappeared.
In the process of running at high speed, Digan jumped high, turned around in the air, stopped the ball in his chest, dunked it directly after landing, and turned around. After he completed this series of actions, Casillas pounced on him, wanting to It is impossible to compete with Degan for the ball, and Casillas can only make a last effort to fall to the ground and shovel.
Degan didn't pay attention to such a threat at all. He swung the ball horizontally, easily got rid of it, and then pushed and shot!
