What is a destructive midfielder?.

Chapter 192 Dead Half Area?

Grandstand corner.

A child pointed to the restricted area in the Czech Republic and asked curiously, "Dad, why is that man wearing a hat?"

The man was slightly surprised, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "He's afraid of the cold."

In a Premier League game in 2006, Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech suffered a skull fracture and passed away with death.

The game became more and more dull.

Spain frantically "flipped" in front of the Czech penalty area.

Cech calmly directed the defense.

Morata and David Silva are pulling wildly.

Iniesta had to play an important role in organizing the series, because Isco's position was very similar to his.

"The defensive formation is too dense."

"Today's Czech team was very Chelsea."

"The spacing of all the players was very good."

"The Spanish team still can't find a flaw. After losing Harvey, the Spanish team's pass control system lacks an overall rhythm change!"

"A meaningless pass cannot threaten the Czech goal!"

The 24th minute of the game.

Spain's frontcourt forcibly speeds up.

The football quickly passed the feet of Iniesta and David Silva, tearing the opponent's dense defense like a steel wire.

Cazorla, who was pulled to the sidewalk, raised his foot slightly.

The football finally turned into a graceful arc and jumped over Morata's head!

How could the cake made by the three midfield masters spit up?

"Morata's movement is great!"

"Perfect interlude timing!"

"Look at this ball!"

Morata, who doesn't use his feet, is simply a striker bug.

The veterans of the Bundesliga and Ligue [-] in the Czech team couldn't keep up with his rhythm at all.

The Spanish fans in the stands started celebrating early!

Czech restricted area.

Morata jumped high and shook his head violently.

The football quickly slammed into the lower left corner of the Czech team's goal.

Mignano's joy was palpable.

Furba bowed his knees nervously.

Morata's header never disappoints!
Cech's right arm has sequelae.

The entire Premier League is grabbing him for this weakness.

I can't beat it.

There were exclamations from the Atlantic Stadium.

With lightning speed, Cech shoveled down to the ground and blocked the ball with his right foot at the goal line!
Morata patted his forehead and stomped helplessly.

"Pretty!"

"Cech blocked the Spanish team's must-go goal with his crippled foot!"

"It's hard to imagine that a 34-year-old veteran is still improving and correcting his weaknesses!"

"His only flaw is that he is not aggressive enough to be the spiritual leader of the Czech team."

He Wei hastily poked Duan Xuan.

Even if he is not domineering enough, he is still one of the top goalkeepers in the history of the Champions League.

Studio.
-
[Cech deserves to be the father of Arsenal's defenders. 】
-
[It is because the Czech players have good defensive positions, and Morata's offensive position is expected, so Cech's saves and blocks are not so strenuous. 】
-
[Cech is one of the people who know the meaning of the "Mu-style bus" best. The goalkeeper has a wide field of vision and is convenient for commanding the defense. 】
-
[Spain's pass control is no good. Without Harvey, there will be no rhythm changes. The opportunities created with great difficulty will not be able to pass Cech's test! 】
-
[This game is estimated to be a draw. 】
-
[The Italian team is much smarter!Without Pirlo, give up midfield control and transition directly, press the center of gravity forward when attacking, and retreat the whole army to assist Xuanming and Buffon when defending! 】
-
[Italy is now behind Northern Ireland. 】
-
[You don't understand, this is Bosque's strategy: health-preserving play. 】

Mignano kept running anxiously.

The members of the coaching staff on and off the court were busy delivering news.

"Boss, if we qualify first in the group, it is very likely that Portugal will be wrong, and Belgium will also fall behind?"

Bosque patted the assistant on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't panic, do what you can control."

Mignano said: "Things we can control at the moment. Win the game at the lowest cost?"

Bosque nodded and sat back on the bench.

His coaching career has been perfect.

Club level: Led Real Madrid to win two Champions League trophies. In 02, they still defeated Leverkusen, who was old man Top.

National team level: In the 8 years of coaching the Spanish national team, the winning rate was as high as 76.32%. Together with the peak Matador Dynasty, he created the first team in history to defend the European Cup and the first team to win three consecutive international championships .

The current situation of the old man can be described as "unsafe in the evening". The shame brought by the 2014 World Cup is too heavy. This European Cup is his last journey before retirement.

bench.

Diego Costa is bored.

He's pretty sure he won't be making an appearance in this game.

Because previous events have proved that his foot skills cannot meet the requirements of the transmission control system.

Saul, Cork, and De Gea were also placed on the bench.

"Lee, our Atletico Madrid will have a new luxury stadium soon!"

"Lee, Atletico Madrid's training is very intensive, La Liga's taxes are too heavy, and our dressing room at Old Trafford has a jacuzzi."

“We also have a jacuzzi!”

Li Kang nodded.

Then he turned his gaze back to the green field.

He couldn't help thinking: If he meets a team that is good at position defense in the knockout stage, how should he use the characteristics of his teammates to play a threatening attack.

The football kept rolling at the front of the Czech penalty area, but it was too late to threaten the goal again.

Iniesta's long-range shot and Isco's horizontal and vertical thrusts were all blocked by the experienced Bundesliga and Ligue [-] veterans.

What about David Silva?

Every time he got the ball in the flank, he would encounter the defense of three Czechs.

The slow version of Messi is always not Messi himself.

There is no way to easily do the feat of "sudden explosion" and a dragon breaking through the defense line.

What about Morata?

Incognito.

Atlantic Stadium is like a huge library.

Fans from both sides looked at the dreary situation, somewhat regretting the ticket money.

The Czech team had several good chances to counterattack.

Rosicky can always tear through Spain's high defense with long passes at the first time.

It is the "Football Mozart" who became famous in Dortmund and Arsenal!
He once interpreted elegance and lightness in European football, and suffered from serious injuries.

It's a pity that the teammates on the front line are too bad.

The strength of Nessid and others is limited.

Even if they receive the pass, they cannot pass the interception of Ramos and Pique.

Even Pique, who is distracted, can easily complete the blockage and destruction.

In the 93th minute of the game, it was the last moment of stoppage time.

Morata pulled a gap outside the penalty area!

For a comprehensive striker, stealth is holding back the big move.

Cazorla knocked the ball over.

"Morata's running position is amazing."

"The concentration of the Czechs is down, good opportunity."

"coming!"

Morata didn't stop the ball.

Aim for the upper right corner of the goal.

Kick up and shoot!

Snapped!
The moment the football circled the arc.

Petr moved.

He predicted the direction of the shot, volleyed sideways, and made a precise block with his left fist!
The football was redirected and landed on the head of teammate Siwok and bounced into the net!
1:0! ! !

"oops!"

"Own goals!"

"The Czechs held on for 93 minutes. The opponents did not break through the city, but they were knocked open by their own people!"

"Morata! He created a dangerous situation at the last moment and killed the game!"

"Three consecutive victories, the Spanish team will secure the top spot in the group stage!"

Morata rushed to the corner flag, slapping his chest in excitement.

Cazorla and others surrounded him excitedly.

The players on the bench also stood up excitedly.

The referee looked at his watch.

Beep!beep beep~
Following the trend, the whistle for the end of the game was blown.

Cech took off his tank cap and comforted his teammate who scored an own goal.

He sees it openly.

When I was young, my family was poor and couldn't afford expensive ice hockey equipment, so I had to give up my dream and play football instead.

The result was a number of honors won at club level.

Premier League clean sheet record.

Three Premier League Gold Gloves.

Premier League champions.

Champions League champion.

The national team. Even the golden generation of the Czech Republic is always short of breath.

This is his fourth European Cup.

At the beginning of the century, Cech, who was not sealed by the hat, was able to compete with Buffon for the world's number one goalkeeper.

Compared to the red flags waving wildly in the stands.

The Spanish coaching staff couldn't laugh.

Mignano panicked: "Boss, our opponent in the knockout round is Italy!"

Bosque was smiling and applauding, but his expression remained unchanged after hearing the news.

"Have a fearless heart."

"In this game, most of our main members of Li got valuable rest and adjustment time."

"It should not be us who are afraid, but Italy!"

After a while.

Li Kang and his teammates left the field and walked into the player tunnel.

Morata is still being interviewed by media reporters from all over the world.

"Luck is part of football and the game would have lost its suspense earlier if Lee had played."

"You mean knockout? Well... I love Juventus and Italy have a Juventus defense and a goalkeeper, but they don't have a Juventus striker."

Lille.

This city, famous for its seafood, has not become a blessed place for Italians.

Conte overturned.

He couldn't control his emotions and beat the turf frantically.

Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci, and Chiellini sat on the bench with numb expressions.

Watching the younger generations being ravaged by Northern Ireland.

"Poor little ones"

"Okay, have pity on us, 1/8 knockout round, we may meet Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea!"

"Cech was eliminated? Don't you say a few words?"

"What are you talking about? Schmeichel's son has already won the Premier League title!"

Every once in a while, there will always be heated debates on the question of "who is the world's first family".

Buffon and Schmeichel in 1996.

In 2004, Buffon and Petr Cech.

In 2010, Buffon and Casey.

In 2014, Buffon and Neuer.

That night.

The results of the European Cup round of sixteen are officially announced!
Upper half A:

Switzerland VS Poland.

Croatia vs Portugal.

Upper half B:

Wales vs Northern Ireland.

Hungary VS Belgium.

Lower half A:

Germany VS Slovakia.

Spain VS Italy.

Lower half B:

France vs Ireland.

England vs Iceland.

The news quickly made it to the Internet hot search.

The number of comments, likes and retweets skyrocketed.

[What is the difficulty of hell in the second half?The best teams in Europe have all come together! 】
-
[What does this partition mean?Don't you need to draw lots like the Champions League? 】

[In the knockout stage of the national team's large-scale cup competition, there is generally no need to draw lots. Let me give you an example: Suppose Spain beats Italy, then it will face the winner between Germany and Slovakia! 】

[Assuming that Spain breaks out of the tight encirclement, it will face the winners of the four teams of France, Ireland, England, and Iceland. They will win all the way and finally reach the final. The opponent will be the final winner of the upper half! 】

[Spain is simply hell difficulty, you have to play against a strong team all the way! 】

Ile de Ré, France.

Spanish Station, Tactical Room.

Bosque asked the entire team to attend the meeting.

The big screen projected a hotspot imaging map of World War I with the Czech Republic.

"Assuming we want to stick to the pass-and-control style of play, we lack changes in speed and rhythm!"

"Eight of our attacks were destroyed by a simple lateral movement!"

"It's too slow, the opponent can always get a numerical advantage in the half area and cut off our passing connection."

"Although we were lucky to win this game, it made us seem to be back to the embarrassing situation in the group stage in 2014."

"The two data of ball possession rate and number of passes are meaningless in front of the score result."

"Italy's defensive system is far superior to the Czech Republic. What can we use to break their goal?"

screen everything.

Members of the coaching staff began to review the first two rounds of the Italian group stage.

Iniesta and Busquets looked at each other.

They have known it for a long time, but they just don't want to admit it in their hearts:
Perhaps the fall of the peak Matador dynasty is not just because of Harvey and the aging lineup.

Rather, after the performance of a tactic reaches its peak, it will inevitably be studied and conquered in the simplest and most efficient way.

Li Kang watched the Italian game ahead of time.

He also saw two old friends in the video: Buffon and De Rossi.

Conte also showed his strength in the squad: no Pirlo, no Totti, no Verratti, no Marchisio, no Balotelli.

Even Zi Beibei, Green Beibei, and Red Beibei, who are active in Serie A, were unable to be selected due to various injuries.

But it doesn't mean that this civilian Italian is very good. Conte's mature three-central defender system fits very well with Juventus' defense team.

From God's perspective.

Slowly reviewing the details of the Italian team's game.

The shadows in the brain spread wildly.

In an instant, a three-dimensional stereogram is formed.

3-5-2 formation.

Three central defenders who rotate the ball.

De Rossi dragged behind, and Parolo connected in series.

The asymmetric attack of Florenci and Candreva.

All the information frantically floods the brain.

After a while.

The coaching staff just finished analyzing Italy's tactical system.

Cazorla, David Silva and others have lingering fears.

If the lineup against the Czech team continues, the Spanish team will definitely fall in front of the Azzurri.

It is very likely that you will lose completely.

Saul and Koke frowned. They represented Atletico Madrid and Juventus in the Champions League: this guy named Conte seems to be much better than Allegri.

Diego Costa yawned.

Isco turned his head to look at Li Kang from time to time.

Morata looked puzzled: The Italian team's Xuanming and Buffon are different from the club's!
Bosque tapped on the table lightly, and said seriously, "It's Italy that's afraid."

　It's too late and I have to work overtime. I'll see if I can find time to make up the word count tomorrow. I'm sorry.
