Chapter 471 Turn defeat into victory!

Chapter 471 Turn defeat into victory!

Now Pan Yi has a strange feeling.

That is, the Spain opposite is actually his own Chelsea, and he is now Chelsea's opponent.

So, when you face Pan Yi's extremely controlling Chelsea, what is the thing you are most afraid of?
That is to concede the ball first.

It is not afraid of being pressed by Chelsea, but if you lose the ball first, it is very dangerous.

Because if you want to equalize or even reverse, then you have to adopt a more proactive offensive tactic.

But while improving the offensive power, the team's defense will also become unstable accordingly, which is likely to allow Chelsea to seize the opportunity and score more goals.

Chelsea has scored so many big games in the Premier League and the Champions League, isn't it because Chelsea scored first and the opponent wanted to attack when they fell behind?
Pan Yi finally experienced the feelings of his opponents.

Because that's how it is in Spain right now.

Even if they weren't at their peak in 08-12, the pass-and-control style of play that has continued has given them an advantage in controlling the situation.

It can be said that even now, it is still very difficult for any national team in the world to play against the Spanish team to take the lead in ball possession.

And now, Spain has scored first.

Pan Yi is very aware of the impact that conceding the ball first will have on his team, so after failing to attack at the beginning, he still chose to retreat first to avoid conceding the ball.

But Ibrahimovic's injury disrupted his deployment, and Spain also scored a goal when they played one more man and the Swedish team was a bit messy.

This luck is really a bit bad!
"What should we do now?" Arteta didn't have any ideas anymore, and asked Pan Yi sideways.

This is indeed a difficult problem.

Should we continue to maintain the current defensive posture, or take the initiative to attack?
But no matter how I do it, there seems to be a problem.

Originally, the Swedish team was not as strong as Spain, and now it is behind. It is really difficult to equalize and reverse the score.

Moreover, the main striker Ibrahimovic also ended due to injury, which undoubtedly made the prospects of the Swedish team worse.

Without Ibrahimovic, how can the trident system in the frontcourt be maintained now?

"Stabilize the situation first, let's talk about the second half!" Pan Yi thought for a while and said.

He could predict that an offensive team like Spain, which is very good at playing with the wind, will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to score a goal, press up in one go, and carry out a new round of indiscriminate bombing against the Swedish team.

If the morale of the Swedish team is affected by conceding a ball, or if the players are in a trance, then not one goal is conceded, but more.

So Pan Yi quickly cleared up his mood, let Kulusevsky play first, let him stand in front of Ekdal and Wayne Bloom, on the other side of Forsberg, forming a four midfield.

And Isaac and Guidetti moved in a little bit to form a double forward.

This is exactly as the commentator expected, the Swedish team has become a defensive 4-4-2.

At the same time, Pan Yi also walked to the sidelines to remind the players to pay attention, so that everyone should stop thinking about the conceded goal just now, especially Lindelof, who was more responsible for the conceded goal.

Now is not the time for accountability!
The game is still going on, if the responsibility is investigated now, wouldn't it make the Swedish team infighting?How will the game be played then?
Not to mention now, even after the game is over, Pan Yi will not pursue responsibility. At most, he will discuss with the players how to avoid losing such a ball and how to maintain concentration on the court.

Otherwise, the players have been under too much pressure in their hearts and dare not make moves on the court, then there is really no need to play in the following games.
-
During the intermission, Pan Yi received a piece of good news.

After a more careful examination, Wolfart determined that Ibrahimovic's injury was not serious, and he should be able to recover quickly after a day or two of recuperation.

In other words, if Sweden can pass the Spanish level, then Ibrahimovic can still catch up with the German team's quarter-finals.

Of course, the first priority now is how to get through Spain...

In the locker room, Pan Yi first praised the team's performance, thinking that the team played the tactical style he wanted very well in the first half, and also weakened Spain's passing and threats very well, allowing Ben The team's offensive firepower even overwhelmed the opponent.

But he also pointed out the shortcomings of the team, especially wasting a lot of opportunities when shooting, which resulted in the failure to lead in the score.

During the whole process, he never mentioned the conceded ball.

He just said that the team must have the opportunity to regain the initiative again, and will definitely be able to defeat the opponent!
Subsequently, Pan Yi made adjustments to the formation and changed back to 4-3-3 again.

Isaac moved into the middle, replacing Ibrahimovic in the center forward position.

This is actually the position Isaac is most familiar with, otherwise he wouldn't be called "Little Ibrahimovic"!

The right-footed Guidetti moved to the left and played as an inside winger, while the left-footed Kulusevski moved forward to the right-wing position and played as an inside forward.

Obviously, this is the position that Pan Yi wanted Kulusevsky to play at the beginning.

Kulusevsky is very good at running and dribbling, but not good at contributing to the team with threatening long passes.

In other words, he prefers to score or assist directly after receiving the ball in a dangerous area, and he has a very keen sense of smell on the edge of the penalty area.

Therefore, Pan Yi just arranged him in a position closer to the penalty area, allowing him to use his breakthrough and shooting ability.

This is also the best way Pan Yi can think of to make up for after Ibrahimovic is off the field.

After all, Isaac's fulcrum is also very good, and with the firepower on both sides, I believe Sweden can also pose a threat to Spain!

Of course, in order to achieve this goal, Pan Yi still made another bold decision.

That is to directly replace the two full-backs!
The left-back replaced Augustinson for Olsson, while the right-back replaced Johansson with Lustig.

This is mainly due to the consideration of offensive and defensive balance.

Since the left winger was replaced by Guidetti from Isaac, this led to a decline in impact and breakthrough ability.

At this time, Augustinson, who has stronger assist ability and higher accuracy in crossing, is replaced on the left side, which can provide more shell support for Isaac in the middle on this wing.

And the right is the opposite.

Kulusevski's ability to break through with the ball and shoot is stronger, but his defense is relatively weak.

The right back Lustig is 189cm tall, and this body is more than enough to play as a central defender. In fact, when he was in the club, he often retracted to play the position of the central defender when the formation changed into a three-central defender. Therefore, his defensive ability is very outstanding. of.

Here, Lustig, who is more stable in defense, can cover Kulusevski very well and avoid being penetrated by Spain.

This is Pan Yi's current response to the second half.

No strong attack, no retreat, continue to maintain a posture of attacking with defense, defending with offense, and dealing with the Spaniards.

This balanced approach can prevent Sweden from being caught by the Spanish team so easily. At the same time, it also maintains the pressure on Spain and is always ready to seize the opportunity to counterattack.

Of course, it was a big risk for Pan Yi to do so.

That is, when the game was just halfway through, he used up all the substitutions.

If something unexpected happens in the second half, then Pan Yi will have no cards in his hand.

But this is Pan Yi.

Extraordinary and confident! ——
After the start of the second half, the scene was a bit stalemate.

On the one hand, the Swedish side is still relatively cautious, and has not completely pressed out to attack;
On the other hand, Spain is more cautious!

This is the characteristic of Bosque.

In Spain under his command, in fact, many games were won 1:0.

The Spaniard's best way to win is to control the ball, then score a goal when you are about to fall asleep, and then control the ball, let you continue to sleep until the end of the game...

Now Bosque is facing the world's most prestigious head coach Pan Yi, of course he will be more cautious.

Spain has already taken the lead in this game, so he will not be aggressive, and he will not easily reveal his flaws, and then be caught and used by Pan Yi.

Bosque knew very well that Pan Yi was the kind of person who could keenly discover the opponent's flaws and then use them to exploit them.

Coupled with the fact that Pan Yi made a wide range of adjustments to the lineup during the intermission, it is impossible for Bosque to be unaware of this.

Although he is not very clear about Pan Yi's purpose, as long as he minimizes loopholes and mistakes, as long as he firmly controls the ball in his own hands, no matter how powerful Pan Yi is, it will not help.

"At the beginning of the second half, Sweden changed their two full-backs, which is actually a bit puzzling."

"Right back Johansson's performance has always been quite satisfactory, without any major mistakes; while left back Olsson is a sharp weapon for the Swedish team's left attack, often stepping forward to cooperate with Isaac."

"The replaced Augustinsson and Lustig have only played against Belgium before. Although they performed well, is it necessary to replace them at this time?"

"Now that Sweden is one goal behind, shouldn't Pan Yi replace Marcus Berry, or a striker or winger like Durmaz to strengthen the offense?"

"Including the adjustment of the forward line, he let Kulusevski, who was originally a midfielder, play the right winger, and let Isaac go to the center forward. Is this really okay?"

"I feel that after Ibrahimovic was injured, Pan Yi's heart is also a little messed up. The current scene also proves that Pan Yi's adjustment does not seem to have any effect. Spain still firmly controls the situation on the field."

"Can it be said that what the Swedish team relies on most is not Pan Yi, but Ibrahimovic..."

This is the question of the commentator, and it is also the question of many fans and experts who are watching the game.

Is the Swedish team still the original Swedish team after losing a superstar like Ibrahimovic?

What is the purpose of Pan Yi's lineup adjustment?

He used up the three substitutions so quickly, and Bosque still stood still, wouldn't he lose all the backup players?

Why hasn't he launched a counterattack in a big way? What is he waiting for?
"He should be waiting." In the stands, Mourinho said firmly.

"What are you waiting for?" Ferguson and Wenger sitting beside him asked in unison.

"Of course he is waiting for the opportunity to counterattack." Mourinho said, "Although I don't know the exact timing, I can be sure that he is waiting."

As one of the best defensive counterattack masters in world football, Mourinho knows better than the two next to him how to play when the situation is passive, and he also understands what Pan Yi is thinking now.

"He made his lineup more offensive and defensive by making substitutions and adjusting the formation. This is actually preparing to spend with Spain first."

Mourinho explained:
"The Spanish team is now leading by one goal and has possession of the ball. Of course, they will not rush to attack, so Sweden's defense will not have too many problems for the time being."

"And the Swedish team is not in a rush to attack, which will also reassure the Spanish team that they have the ball at their feet anyway."

"But the question is, how could Pan Yi be willing to fail? He is just waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the Spaniards to relax, waiting for them to relax due to the anxiety of both sides, and once they relax, there will be loopholes."

"You might say that Sweden is too far left, so Spain just need to block that side. But that was in the first half, it's different now."

"His 4-3-3 is different from the left side before. Now he has the ability to attack on both sides, and the two sides play differently."

"On the left, Sweden are now relying more on direct assists from the full-backs running in behind, while on the right they have the youngster Ku... or something to cut in and shoot directly."

"It also makes Spain not that easy to target defensively. So... we'll see!"

After all, they are all famous coaches. After hearing what Mourinho said, Wenger and Ferguson also nodded frequently.

"From this point of view, we really can't underestimate Pan Yi at any time..." Wenger sighed, "He can always play something new for me!"
-
As time passed, the fans in the stands couldn't sit still.

Especially the fans of the Swedish team began to shout the names of the players and Pan Yi, hoping that they could do something to change the situation.

Even if he was not favored at the beginning, but his national team finally made it to the knockout round, who would want to go home like this?
And when the time reached the 68th minute, Spain also made its first substitution, replacing Morata with Thiago!

After Thiago came on the field, he stood between Iniesta and Busquets, while Fabregas's position was premised on playing an attacking midfielder, or a shadow striker.

Spain changes to no front!

This is also a set of play they often used in their heyday, the purpose is the ultimate ball control!
Obviously, Bosque is going to keep the one-goal lead until the end, even the only center forward.

But in this way, Pan Yi was happy.

This was actually the opportunity he had been waiting for!
Don't look at Morata's over-the-top and double-backed feet, but his body standing in the middle of the Swedish central defender is actually quite troublesome.

Although his skills are mediocre, his success lies in his positive attitude and excellent sense of grabbing spots. He exists like a tower in the penalty area, and he is proud of his ability to control the air.

And he has the ability to protect the ball in a small space and create opportunities for teammates who come in behind.

Therefore, neither Lindelof nor Granquist dared to relax their defense against Morata, and even the two full-backs often had to pay attention to avoid being run behind by Morata, who is not slow.

This also affected the support of the Swedish backcourt to the frontcourt.

In other words, this is the important role of a big center to the entire team!

But now, there is no big center in Spain, it is all small and fast.

Well, the sword of Damocles that was originally hanging over the head of the Swedes was removed, which also made Sweden's backcourt a lot easier.

After all, whether it is David Silva, Pedro, or Cesc Fabregas, none of them have the ability to strike from the air or act as a fulcrum. This is tantamount to turning a three-dimensional attack into a two-dimensional one, which is considered defensively. Things are much less.

Then, the Swedes can launch a more courageous counterattack!
Not long after the Spanish team made the substitution, Pan Yi kept waving his hands on the sidelines, signaling that his disciples could press more, and more.

The general attack is about to begin!

In the 75th minute, after Fosberg took the ball in the middle, he made a diagonal pass to the right. Kulusevski decisively passed the ball to the middle after an internal cut attempt failed.

Isaac, who was in place in the middle, resisted Pique with his body, shook his head and attacked the goal, and went slightly wide.

Although he didn't make it, this attack also made the Spaniard break out in a cold sweat.

How come it seems that Ibrahimovic is still on the court with this attacking method and shooting method?

When the game progressed to the 82nd minute, the Swedish team formed an attack on the left this time, and Augustin made a direct pass after going down the edge.

This time Ramos and Pique teamed up to block Isaac, preventing the young center from getting the ball.

But the ball fell to the right side of the penalty area after passing over everyone's heads.

At this time, Kulusevski sneaked in nimbly. What he was facing was half of the goal that was no longer defended, almost like facing an empty goal!
"Good shot!!!"

The voice of the on-site commentator was a bit hoarse, and it could be heard from the voice how excited he was at the moment, and he might have stood up directly from his seat.

"Kulusewski faced Spain's goal... De Gea was too late!"

It's not hard to hear from his tone, even the live commentator is looking forward to the Swedish team's goal.

One is because Spain is relatively strong, and everyone has such a complex of hoeing the strong and helping the weak;

Secondly, the performance of the Swedish team in this game is indeed good enough, it is very worthy of respect, and it is also worth looking forward to their more time performance.

Just because the Swedish team conceded a goal, you can't think that this team is inferior to the opponent. In fact, if you look at it half an hour before the opening, the Swedish team's performance is not lost to Spain.

Even the Swedish team is expected to win the game, and the number of threatening shots is higher than that of the opponent, but then Ibrahimovic's injury completely disrupted the Swedish team's tactical arrangement.

Since then, the Swedish team has been at a disadvantage and has been beaten by Spain, but this team has held on to the situation, at least not letting Spain get more goals from them, and keeping a hope .

Now, Pan Yi's formation and strategy have achieved results, and the young player who came off the bench has another chance to shoot. Isn't this exciting!

"The ball... went in!!!!!!!!!"

Finally, the narrator yelled as loud as he could.

When faced with this rare opportunity, Kulusevski calmly chose to push the ball with his foot, allowing the ball to roll smoothly against the turf and into the net.

Don't think it's easy to push the goal like this. In fact, many players will be too excited when faced with this kind of opportunity, and sometimes they will choose to shoot hard and hit the stands.

There are also people who think too much, which causes the shooting movement to be deformed, and finally fails to hit the right position-this was the case for Morata in the first half.

But at this time, Kulusevski showed a calmness that did not match his age, and just gently pushed the ball into the goal!
"Kulusewski!"

"This is his first official game goal for the Swedish national team!"

"And this is only the third game he played on behalf of the national team! Even... even before Pan Yi called him into the team, he was just a member of the Atlanta youth team and had never played a professional game!"

"It's amazing! Kulusevsky's performance is amazing, and Pan Yi's substitution is of course even more amazing!"

"Now, Kulusevski helped the Swedish team equalize the score, and the two sides are back to the same starting line!"

The on-site commentator shouted loudly, while all the Spaniards covered their faces in disbelief, or opened their eyes wide, watching what happened on the court.

At this time, Pan Yi and his assistants rushed to the sidelines recklessly, celebrating with the Swedish players who also rushed to the sidelines.

This goal is really crucial!
Sometimes all it takes is a goal to boost morale and turn the tide of a game.

As long as this goal is scored and the Swedish team equalizes the score, then there must be a chance for a reversal!
And at this time, the Swedish fans in the stands stood up one by one, applauded vigorously, and sang even louder.

Such applause and singing covered the entire Stade de France, already drowning out the voices of the Spaniards.

While cheering for this goal, it is also giving encouragement and support to the players on the field, let them continue to work hard!
The applause was thunderous, and the players felt it on the court.

"Brothers, take this opportunity to mess with him again!" Pan Yi also shouted from the sidelines.

"Okay, let's mess with him again!"

"Fight them!"

"Fuck them!"

The Swedish players were full of enthusiasm and immediately returned to the court, ready to kick off again.

"Damn it, guard their right winger for me!"

On the Spanish bench, Bosque was a little angry.

This time, the Spanish team was indeed a bit careless in defense.

Everyone went to defend Isaac in the middle, but Kulusevsky was completely emptied.

In fact, this is because Pan Yi took advantage of the slow speed of Spanish left-back Marcos Alonso, allowing Kulusevsky to play a time difference and insert into the penalty area, which made this goal.

Could he be unfamiliar with Marcos Alonso?
Xiaolong's wingback is definitely the world's first-class level, but in Spain's four-back system, to be honest, this kind of conventional left back cannot fully display his characteristics.

Without the powerful volley from behind or even a header, can this still be regarded as Long Ge, whom everyone loves at Chelsea?
On the contrary, Marcos Alonso's weaknesses in speed and dribbling ability are undoubtedly exposed in such a system, and he is also guarded by Lustig, who was replaced by Pan Yi.

Not to mention breaking through, Lustig was not even afraid of competing for the high ball.

Coupled with the Swedish goal this time, it was indeed Marcos Alonso who missed someone, which also made him play a little impatiently.

After the game restarted, Sweden sent the ball to Kulusevski after grabbing the ball. The Swedish teenager chose to break through and try to wipe past Marcos Alonso.

Marcos Alonso's center of gravity was shaken, and he pulled Kulusevski down with a backhand in a hurry.

The referee whistles, foul!

Sweden wins a free kick on the right side of the penalty area.

The Swedish team's first free kicker is of course Ibrahimovic, and now that he is not on the field, it is Forsberg.

However, he is a right-footed player. In this position on the right side, most of the time, he can only choose to pass the ball to the middle and let Isaac, Granqvist and others compete for the header.

But at this time, the left-back Augustinsson, who came from the midfield as a substitute, also quietly came to Forsberg's side.

"Let me try," said Augustinson.

Forsberg nodded and stepped aside.

He has seen the footwork of the 24-year-old left back in training, and this angle is indeed more threatening for left-footed players to take the penalty.

Then, Augustine stepped back, took a deep breath, ran up, and shot!
The ball caught De Gea off guard for a while.

He didn't even know the man Augustinson!

This is also normal.

Who's going to study a Swedish back-up full-back who's just an unknown player from a Danish team?

Therefore, De Gea has been watching Forsberg all the time, preparing to intercept Forsberg's pass in the middle. He just thinks that the full-back just came to feint.

Therefore, when Augustinson quickly took the ball and it was a shot towards the goal, De Gea was taken aback, and it was too late to react.

The ball drew an arc and went straight into the upper right corner of the goal!
Sweden 2:1 Spain, they overtook the score!
