Chapter 313 The 18-year-old World Cup champion? why not!
The moment the final whistle sounded, the Spanish players hugged each other excitedly, and the players on the bench and even some coaches rushed out emotionally.
He ran into the field and celebrated wildly with the players on the field!
After four years, they reached the World Cup final again.
The Spaniard has a great chance to once again win the Hercules Cup, which symbolizes football's highest glory.
How can this not be exciting and crazy?
Del Bosque was extremely excited, but in order to maintain his image as a famous coach, he tried hard to restrain his excitement, pretended to be calm and stood up from the coaching bench.
After specially sorting out his clothes, he took the initiative to walk to the Argentina team's coaching bench.
"You have a great team and it was a great game!"
Del Bosque took the initiative to shake hands with Argentine head coach Sabilia and said a polite word by the way.
"Thank you and wish you good luck in the next competition!"
As a loser, Savilia's mood was far less good than Bosque's.
He just said polite words and had no intention of talking to Bosque.
After the loss, Savilia's position as coach was basically gone.
Even if the Argentine Football Association and fans do not hold him accountable, he will resign voluntarily and will not continue to coach Argentina.
Although this World Cup was not held in Argentina, Brazil is right next to Argentina. After the Brazilian team was eliminated, this can be regarded as half of their home court.
In addition, Argentina's paper strength in this World Cup is very strong. Not only does it have superstars like Messi, but it also has a large number of players who play for giant teams in the five major leagues.
But even so, they still failed to complete their mission and fell in the knockout round again.
Such a result will probably disappoint countless Argentine fans.
After this World Cup, Savilla also has a full understanding of his own strength.
He really doesn't have the ability to coach a team like Argentina that is so star-studded with big-name players.
So he decided to resign voluntarily and jump out of this pit of fire.
Del Bosque sympathized with the other party. Compared with Savilia, his own coaching position can be said to be very stable.
Since he took office, Spain has won a World Cup, a European Cup and a Confederations Cup.
If he can successfully defend the World Cup this time, there is no doubt that he will become the most successful head coach in the history of the Spanish team.
With these brilliant leadership achievements, his position in the national team is very stable. Unless he voluntarily resigns, no one can dislodge him from the coaching position.
As for asking Bosque to resign on his own initiative, this is of course impossible.
The old coach is very satisfied with his current job, although after this World Cup, many older players will gradually fade out of the national team's lineup.
But with Lin Quan here, there are still so many outstanding prospects in the La Liga team.
Bosque is confident that he can lead Spain to continue its current glory!
Compared with the excited Spanish players, the Argentine players were generally frustrated.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all the Argentine players were devastated.
Some players seemed to have had all the strength drained from their bodies, falling to their knees on the lawn, hunching their shoulders and sobbing.
As the soul of the Argentine team, Messi did not shed tears.
He put his hands on his hips, lowered his head and looked at the lawn. He stood on the field like a statue and did not move for a long time.
This lonely figure makes countless Messi fans feel full of heartache.
Even some neutral fans couldn't bear to see this scene.
"Well, speaking of which, is this Messi's third World Cup trip?"
"Yes, Messi has participated in three World Cups since the 2006 World Cup in Germany."
"Eight years ago, he was only 19 years old and appeared on the field as a newcomer. Now, he is already the absolute core of Argentina, but the result of the game seems to have been fixed. Not much has changed. Argentina Our World Cup journey is over once again."
In the previous two World Cups, Argentina encountered the German team in the quarter-finals and then fell at the feet of the opponent.
This time, they did not encounter the German team, so they successfully reached the semi-finals.
But in the semi-finals, they met the more powerful Spanish team.
Argentina ultimately failed to reach the finals and fell to the semi-finals.
Although their ranking has improved a bit compared to four years ago.
But for the Argentinian team, which aims to win the championship, there is no difference between falling in the quarter-finals and falling in the semi-finals. They are both failures.
This result made Messi very disappointed, and the taste of failure made him feel extremely painful.
Born in 1987, he is 27 years old this year.
He will be 31 years old at the next World Cup.
There is not much time left for Messi.
If he fails to win the World Cup during his peak period, he has no confidence that he can lead the team to achieve this goal in four or even eight years.
Moreover, his opponent, Lin Quan of Spain, is too young.
Four years later, the other party was just 22 years old, and eight years later, the other party was 26 years old.
In the foreseeable future, as long as there are no serious injuries, the opponent's strength will only get stronger and stronger.
As he gets older, Messi's condition will gradually decline.
This time facing Lin Quan, who was just starting out, he failed to lead the team to defeat the opponent. Four years later, the opponent has become stronger. Can he still defeat him?
Messi doesn't have much confidence.
If he can't win the next World Cup, he may really miss the Hercules Cup.
…
At the post-match press conference, when being interviewed by reporters, Argentina coach Sabella took the initiative to take the responsibility for the failure on himself and publicly announced his resignation as the national team coach.
Someone has to take responsibility for failure, either the coach or the players.
Messi scored two goals in this game and was already carrying his life.
Although many fans still criticized him as a superstar, he failed to save the team.
But such voices are only in the minority after all. Compared with Messi's performance, the outside world believes that Argentina was completely defeated by Spain on a tactical level.
Del Bosque's substitutions were quick and accurate, and he dared to risk his life. After the substitution, he achieved immediate results.
On the other hand, Savilla's tactics were not decisive enough. He was always a step behind in making on-the-spot adjustments, and the effect of the adjustments was also very poor. He was almost completely beaten by Del Bosque next door.
With such an intuitive gap here, there is a high probability that Savilia will be fired even if he does not take the initiative to resign.
In this case, why not be more respectable?
Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same. Compared to the frustrated Savilia, Bosque came out with a bright face and seemed to be in a good mood.
Brazil is really the Feng Shui treasure land of Spain!
This time last year, they successfully won the Confederations Cup here.
This year, they have a chance to win the second Hercules Cup in team history.
In a good mood, Del Bosque directly issued a declaration for the championship trophy:
"We are here just to defend our title!"
"The German team is very strong, but we are stronger. I believe the final victory will definitely belong to us!"
Del Bosque's declaration of winning the championship won the strong support of countless Spanish fans, but also successfully angered the players of the German team.
Gotze said on social media:
"The Spaniards were too smooth before, and they didn't know the heights of the sky. When it comes to the finals, we will not be stingy about asking them to taste the feeling of being run over by a German chariot in the face!"
Boateng also issued a statement saying:
"Haha, the Brazilians were beaten 7:1 by us. I'm afraid the Spaniards also want to taste the feeling of being bloodbathed!"
The German players all left the field to participate in the war, and the Spanish players naturally could not sit idly by.
Pique, who likes to be in the limelight, was the first to jump out and speak:
"The Germans seem to have forgotten who eliminated the German team four years ago, and they have also forgotten the fear of being dominated by our passing football!"
Ramos added insult to injury:
"Haha, I think they haven't forgotten, otherwise Bayern and the German team wouldn't have gone out of their way to learn our passing and controlling football!"
Xiaofa said without mercy:
"They shamelessly came here to steal our Spanish teachings, and they dared to say that we, as teachers, would be afraid of their students, it's so funny!"
The Spanish players caught the German team and started to use pass-and-control football, and even played a few games without a forward to make a fuss about it, mocking the opponent for imitating the others.
Faced with such accusations, the German players were very angry, but they couldn't refute it.
After all, the German team is indeed learning passing football, and passing football was pioneered by the Spaniards.
So they used the German team's bloodbath of the Brazilian team to make a fuss, proving that the German team is better than the Spanish team.
Both the German team and the Spanish team have defeated the host Brazil team, so the Brazilian team has tragically become a reference for fans of both sides to measure the combat effectiveness of the two teams.
Judging from the score, the German team scored 3 more goals than Spain, and it seems that they are stronger.
But the Brazilian lineups faced by the two teams are very different!
The Brazilian team that Spain encountered in the Confederations Cup final was a complete Brazil team, while the Brazilian team that the German team encountered was incomplete.
"The German team will just bully the Brazilian team, which is short of major generals. If the two main players of the Brazilian team are not injured, it is not certain who will win in the semifinals!"
"I am a Brazilian fan. This time I am standing with Spain. We are convinced when we lose to Spain. We are not convinced at all when we lose to Germany. We have the ability to wait for Neymar to return from injury and Thiago Silva to return after he is released from the ban. If we play a game, will the Germans dare?"
Naturally, the German fans would not take this issue. They comforted themselves, who would have enough to eat and fight endlessly with their defeated opponent?
As a member of the Spanish team, Lin Quan also expressed his position on social media:
"World Cup champion? Why not? I can't wait to win the Hercules Cup on the final stage!"
No one can refuse the Hercules Cup, especially when there is only one last game left for her!
And if Lin Quan can really win the cup, he will become the youngest champion in the history of the Spanish team - an 18-year-old world champion!
After Lin Quan expressed his stance, although several players from the German team also came forward to express their stance.
However, their popularity was slightly lower, and the sensational effect they caused was far less than the impact of Lin Quan's declaration.
Therefore, in the war of words before the game, the Germans did not take much advantage.
But the war between the two sides is obviously not limited to the Internet.
A reporter with good intentions took Del Bosque's words to interview the German team coach Loew and asked him for his opinion.
"I am also confident in my team. We are not here to be someone's stepping stone, we are also here to win the championship!"
It's the final moment of the championship, and there is no way Loew will give in.
Not only did he not give in, he even pointed out the weakness of Spain's lineup that lacked hardness, and vowed that the German team would rely on its strong body and tenacious style to brutally kill the Spanish team, leaving the Spaniards with an unforgettable experience. painful memories!
The players of the German team give the impression that they are tall and good at fighting and confrontation.
German teams generally have a strong impact. When playing with them, you must not let them go smoothly. Once they do, the goal will be unstoppable. If you are not careful, you can create a game. massacre!
Loew's words came back to Bosque's ears, making him feel a little surprised.
Doesn't it mean that the German team has changed its technical approach?
What does Loew mean by these words? Is the German team going to go back to its old ways?
To be honest, teams that play technical football are really a little afraid of teams with that kind of physical style.
In the past, the German team was not only physically strong, but also had tenacious fighting spirit and dared to fight. It was a very difficult team to deal with.
Although their skills are not as gorgeous as the Spanish players, they are not rough, and some simple coordination can produce very good results.
Del Bosque took this very seriously and immediately worked with members of the coaching staff to study and summarize the German team's past technical and tactical play, and analyze the possibility of them playing traditional German football.
The traditional advantage of the German team is simple and clear. They have been playing like this for many years.
The German team is very good at attacking from the wing, as you can see from their league leader Bayern.
However, the German team's wing attack is a bit different from the popular wing attack now.
After their wing players launch an attack on the wing, they will avoid the densely defended area in the middle. They do not cut in from the wing to complete coordination or shoot like Spain's forward-less formation. Instead, they will pass from the bottom to the goal. The high center forward and other high points in the team use headers to threaten the opponent's goal.
This move is very retro, but very effective. The strikers of the German team are very good at heading the ball, especially Klose. Although he is not very tall, his heading ability is really too strong. The football flies to him. In front of him, he can always be sent to the goal in various reasonable ways.
In addition to wing attacks, the German team is also very good at long-range shots and set pieces.
In the past, German midfielders represented by Ballack generally had a good long-range shot, and their feet were very hard. Once their long-range shot hit the door frame, it was difficult for the goalkeeper to save it.
In defense, the German team will take advantage of its own physical fitness and use regional press to limit the opponent's offense.
The players of the German team are full of physical energy, run very actively, and have strong tactical execution ability.
This makes it easy for the offensive stars to fall into their double-teams. They will take care of them throughout the game and then perform abnormally.
Several times when facing Argentina, the German team used such tactics to successfully limit Messi and prevent Messi from getting a good chance.
It is foreseeable that in the final, the Germans will use this trick against Lin Quan.
In this regard, Bosque was a little worried.
If Lin Quan is frozen by his opponent, Spain's offensive machine may malfunction.
In addition, the German team's long pass transfer also needs attention.
Based on the opponent's defensive position, they will choose to move the ball to areas where the defensive strength is weak, thereby changing the rhythm of the game and making up for the simple tactical coordination of their own team, which cannot produce the gorgeous reverse kicking and passing coordination of Spain. Disadvantages.
This advantage, combined with their defensive counterattack tactics, can often produce very good results.
Therefore, when facing the German team, be sure not to make mistakes when attacking.
Once one's own mistakes are caught by the opponent, the opponent is likely to launch a highly threatening counterattack.
German players play very calmly and have a good view of the overall situation. Kroos is a player who is very good at observing the situation on the field and has a precise long pass.
In the previous games of the German team, Kroos performed very well, which forced Vicente del Bosque to be wary of him.
Because of the high points in the penalty area and the heavy gunner in the middle outside the penalty area, when defending against the German team's attack, a multi-level and three-dimensional defense is necessary.
However, can the current German team still play such traditional tactics?
Bosque expressed doubts!
Because the German team he sees now is very different from the traditional German team.
The German team, which adopts technical schools and pass-and-control tactics, is becoming more and more like the Spanish team, but less like the previous German team.
This can be seen from Loew's selection.
In the German team's starting lineup, there are far fewer players with strong bodies and tenacious styles, and there are many more players with average physical confrontation capabilities but excellent foot skills.
For example, Gotze, Ozil and Kroos.
The playing style of these people is very different from that of their predecessors, and it is completely a technical school.
Moreover, these people have been entrusted with important tasks by Loew, and there is no possibility that he will overturn and reset the German team's tactics, especially on such an important stage as the World Cup finals.
If he dares to survive and lose the World Cup championship in the end, he will definitely be drowned in the saliva of German fans when he returns to Germany!
Without overthrowing and resetting his own tactical system, how could Loew rely on the excellent physical fitness of the German team to defeat Spain?
It's simply impossible!
Therefore, Bosque was sure that the other party was setting off smoke bombs!
Deliberately trying to confuse yourself!
In this case, Bosque will also do the whole thing.
"Diego Costa has recovered well from his injury, so we plan to arrange for him to play with Lin Quan in the final and implement a two-forward tactic!"
Del Bosque took the initiative to announce his possible tactics in the final, which immediately attracted the attention of countless fans and reporters.
Diego Costa was injured in the group stage against the Netherlands, but he returned from injury in Spain's game against Costa Rica.
However, when facing Argentina, Del Bosque chose to hide him.
Not only was he not included in the starting lineup, he was not even given a chance to come on as a substitute.
This makes the outside world very confused. Is Diego Costa the mascot in Del Bosque's heart?
Specifically calling him in but not sending him on the field, or in Bosque's mind, Torres is a more suitable choice than Diego Costa?
Because of Del Bosque's hiding of Diego Costa, many conspiracy theories have emerged in the outside world.
Many fans believe that Del Bosque did not use Diego Costa because his injury has not healed.
However, Del Bosque and the Spanish team chose to conceal his injury and not announce it to the public. The purpose was to confuse the opponent and make the German team make mistakes in judgment.
This conspiracy theory has spread widely, and has been recognized by many fans.
Some German fans even went outside the German national team's training base after seeing these rumors and shouted to their team not to be fooled.
Now, Del Bosque has publicly stated that he will arrange for Diego Costa to return in the final, and also let him and Lin Quan play a double forward tactic.
This makes fans generally feel very doubtful. Previous games have proven that it is not suitable to put Lin Quan in the forward position.
He is more suitable to play as a free agent in the frontcourt. If he is placed in front, he will not be able to exert his power.
So, the news released by Bosque is probably a smoke bomb?
Ordinary fans can think so, but German team coach Loew does not dare to make such an easy conclusion.
What if this is not a smoke bomb but real?
Diego Costa and Lin Quan had only played together once before, and in that game he only played one half before being injured.
Therefore, it is difficult for the outside world to evaluate the chemical reaction that will occur when he and Lin Quan appear on the court at the same time.
If the chemical reaction between these two people is very good and they can cooperate with each other to achieve the effect of one plus one than two, then the German team will be in trouble!
Considering that both of them are super shooters with extremely high scoring efficiency, if Diego Costa is not injured, Del Bosque will most likely use him.
Therefore, Luffning can believe that it exists, but cannot believe that it does not exist.
He chose to believe Bosque's smoke bomb!
