Chapter 476 The second round of the spell return battle?
"Hello, audience friends, this is the second semi-final of this year's European Cup. The venue for the match between Sweden and France today is the Velodrome Stadium in Marseille!"

"We can see from the TV cameras that the entire football stadium is full of people, and the 6 seats have been sold out days in advance, and now everyone is waiting for this exciting match that everyone is looking forward to. !"

"Our reporters in front have already got the starting lineup lists of both sides for this game."

"In the past few days, everyone has been very curious about Pan Yi's game strategy for this game. In fact, he has continued his flexible use of troops in the past few games. This game once again made a big difference in the starting lineup. adjusted."

"The Swedish team is still in a 433 formation, the goalkeeper is Isaacson, the defense is Augustinsson, Lindelof, Granqvist, Sebastian Larsson, and the three midfielders are Forsberg, Wayne Bloom and Kulusevski, the front trident is Isaac, Ibrahimovic and Guidetti."

"One of the biggest changes is that in the previous few games, the 16-year-old Kulusevsky, who mostly played as a substitute, appeared in the starting lineup this time!"

"Kulusewski used to appear in the middle of the midfield and at the right winger position, but judging from Pan Yi's starting lineup today, he should still appear in the midfield this time!"

"Ekdal, who started almost every game before, sat on the bench, and it seemed that Forsberg and Kulusevski stood in front of Wayne Bloom to form an inverted triangle position."

"This is a very surprising choice. After all, no matter in terms of game experience, strength, or the degree of tacit understanding with Forsberg, Ekdal should be eligible to start. In such an important European Cup semi-final Is it too risky to use Kulusevsky?"

"In addition to Isaac who has already started, the Swedish team directly used two 16-year-old teenagers, which is really very bold. But now they are facing the wolf-like host France. It's worrying!"

"Another big change was at the back. Sebastian Larsson was in Sweden's line-up as a midfielder before, but today he's at right-back. It is already the No.3 right back used by Pan Yi in this cup!"

"It's really confusing. Perhaps, this is the truth of Pan Yi's closed training these days. He really gave us a surprise!"

"Compared to the adjustments and changes of the Swedish team, Didier Deschamps did not have too many surprises."

Kanter came back after the suspension and naturally returned to the starting lineup.

So France's 4-2-3-1 is basically the starters everyone can guess:

Goalkeeper: Lloris.

Defenders: Evra, Umtiti, Koscielny, Sagna.

Defenders: Kanter, Matuidi.

Frontcourt: Payet, Pogba, Griezmann.

Center forward: Giroud.

Of course, the positions of Griezmann and Pogba are relatively flexible. Pogba will often retreat to the midfielder for defensive support, while Griezmann is between the forward, midfielder and midfielder. Walking, back and forth in series.

"Compared to Pan Yi's adjustments and changes, Deschamps' starting lineup has not changed much. The details may be different, but in terms of specific positions and players' tasks, we should still stick to the strategy of adapting to changes. After all, The French team has worked very well so far."

While the on-site commentator was talking, he saw that the players on both sides had slowly walked out of the player channel under the leadership of the referee.

There was an overwhelming cheer from more than 7 fans at the scene, which made the whole stadium seem to be boiling.

Unlike the previous fans who were all [-]-[-], most of today's games were fans waving red, white and blue French flags. After all, they were playing at home!
Both Pan Yi and Deschamps came out following the players.

The two head coaches are the most impressive coaches in this European Cup, especially their leadership performance, which also makes this matchup attract much attention.

But soon, the camera's lens was suddenly attracted by a scene in the stands.

There, there was a strange looking guy.

His face is painted with colorful oil paints, his head has long feathers, and many strange symbols are painted on his body.

In his left hand, he held a vessel as big as a washbasin. There should be some things in the vessel, like hair or something, which he couldn't see clearly.

And his right hand is what looks like a scepter.

At this moment, this grotesque guy was dancing and dancing, and he was also muttering words.

"Ah, is this the wizard from Guinea invited by Pogba? Did he really come to today's game and cast a curse on the Swedish team?"

The narrator yelled in surprise, and then couldn't close his mouth for a moment.

Because he immediately saw that in the stands of the fans of the Swedish team, something even more incomprehensible appeared.

I saw a bald monk there, wearing cassock, knocking on the wooden fish, and chanting words in his mouth.

He's not even alone.

Next to the monk, there is a Taoist priest.

He tied his hair in a bun, pinned with a jade hairpin, a flat Hunyuan hat on his head, and a blue Taoist robe;
A yellow paper talisman in the left hand, and a mahogany sword in the right hand, are making it.

And around the monk and the Taoist priest, the fans wearing yellow Swedish jerseys even followed their movements, applauding wave after wave.

"This...is this the powerful god Pan Yi mentioned at the press conference yesterday? He also invited them to the scene?"

"It seems that today is not only a contest on the field, but also a duel between masters on both sides of the field!"

"However, judging from the current situation, Pan Yi is better prepared. After all, it is two against one, so the chances of winning are higher!"

When the commentator exclaimed, Pan Yi on the sidelines just held back a smile, walked over to shake hands with Deschamps, and then went back to his visiting team coach's bench.

This monk and Taoist priest were really invited by Pan Yi.

After yesterday's press conference, the focus of the reports of the major media and newspapers was not about the preparations of the two teams, but about the "return of spells"!

It seems that everyone still prefers gossip and lace...

At this time, Pan Yi also had an idea.

It doesn't matter whether I believe in these ghosts or not, but some people will believe it!
I am talking nonsense, maybe the French side is really afraid—for example, Pogba really feels threatened by divine power, so he may let the wizard solve this problem—the wizard really came today.

Then, then simply act and do a full set, and have an off-court fight with them!
It's not that this fighting method is really useful, but it's a psychological blow to the opponent.

Don't you believe in these ghosts and gods?
Then I will use the most powerful spell in the Dragon Kingdom to defeat you!
This is to give the other party a psychological hint, thinking that the other party has a stronger god's protection, which will actually affect their own performance.

After all, everyone will be searching. When you see the abilities of Tathagata Buddha and Taishang Laojun, don't believe it! Don't panic!

On the other hand, on the Swedish side, almost no one believed this.

Perhaps it is because the Nordic people are generally more educated.

Do you think Ibrahimovic will believe it?
He said he is God, do you think he believes it or not?
If his players believe in wizards or something, Ibrahimovic can't kill him with his baseball bat?

As for the monk and Taoist...

Of course, Pan Yi also spent his money.

This is an extra actor he invited to the local Chinatown, and each person is fifty euros an hour.
-
After playing the national anthem and guessing sides, France got the right to serve.

When the time entered 21:[-], the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Deschamps is very clear that it is very important for France to take the initiative in this game.

He is also fortunate that he still insisted on the tactical thinking of adapting to all changes. Otherwise, how could he have guessed the starting lineup of the Swedish team?
Obviously, Pan Yi is alive again!
Playing Larsson at right-back and Kulusevski at right-of-midfield should be a combo?

But what it is, Deschamps can't think of it for the time being, and he doesn't want to bother thinking about it. He still cherishes his hair very much!

As the stronger side, if they can grab a start and score a goal first, it will undoubtedly be a huge help to win this game.

At that time, no matter how Pan Yi does his job, Deschamps can still sit on the Diaoyutai, and then use his sufficient backup resources to meet Pan Yi.

On the bench of the French team, there are still good players like Martial, Koeman, and Sissoko. How can it be like the Swedish bench is full of crooked melons?
Therefore, from the first minute, the French team showed a very strong desire to score goals.

They showed a more powerful and aggressive attack than in the past, which made them play a fierce offensive from the beginning of the game.

After the veteran Evra got the ball on the left, he advanced a few steps. When Guidetti rushed towards him on the opposite side, he chose to cross the ball to Pogba's feet.

Pogba is known as the core of this French midfielder, and when he is in good form, he can indeed successfully complete the tasks assigned to him by Deschamps.

His long pass transfer can be said to be a very important means for the French team to accelerate their offense!

At this time, as soon as Pogba received Evra's pass, he looked up and looked ahead, first blocked Forsberg with his body, and then swung his right foot.

This precise arc ball long pass made the ball cross a beautiful parabola and landed in the front left corner of the Swedish team's penalty area.

Griezmann pulled from the center to the left to get the ball.

This is also the most frequently used tactical coordination in France, using Griezmann's technology and creativity on the wing to create space for the real big center Giroud, and this time they are obviously ready to continue to do so.

After seeing Griezmann pull to the left, he first stopped the ball firmly.

But Lindelof pounced on the first time, blocked the route that Griezmann wanted to cut into the penalty area, and blocked him from the left side of the penalty area.

In the middle of the Swedish team, Granqvist is also behind Lindelof preparing to support, Larsson is looking at Giroud, Wayne Bloom, Augustinson and others have also returned to their side immediately. This side is ready to help defend.

This is also an advantage of the Swedish team's defense, that is, no matter the central defender or the full-back, they are quite good in personal defensive ability, and even many full-backs can play the position of central defender.

And a solid midfielder like Wayne Bloom can add a lock to this defense.

It's just that Griezmann's ability to judge space is also very strong.

When he leaned against Lindelof with his body on the wing, he glanced at Granqvist out of the corner of his eye, and he clearly realized that it is no longer feasible to break through the inside with the ball.

And Wayne Bloom has already returned to the penalty area to defend. At this time, the only thing he can do is to turn around and get rid of the pass.

This was just a flash on the court, but Griezmann immediately thought of a countermeasure and put it into action.

He first used a dexterous and astute dribble to complete a beautiful escape. The whole person seemed like a slippery loach, and he just slipped past Lindelof's defense.

Then, Griezmann swung his left foot straight up, curled a kick, and passed the ball into the middle of the penalty area before Granqvist's defense was in place to intercept him.

Giroud has already ambushed in the middle of the penalty area.

He hid behind Larson, because in this way he could see Larson's reaction more clearly and take targeted actions.

As soon as he saw the ball, Giroud rushed forward and jumped high to meet the ball.

As a typical center forward, Giroud's header ability can be said to be the best in the world.

Of course, in addition to his header, his shooting ability is also amazing. He can even use various "sensational moves" like Ibrahimovic on the opposite side to complete incredible scores.

When one day, Ibrahimovic and Giroud are both old and have reached the age to join Milan, and the two of them will have a wonderful chemical reaction together...

Now, Griezmann's pass is very comfortable, and Giroud knows how to catch it, so when he jumps high, his head is almost ready to head towards the ball.

But at this moment, there was a person in front of him soaring into the sky, and deliberately blocked him with his body, interfering with his route of receiving the ball.

"Kulusevsky has made a meritorious service!" The live commentator shouted excitedly.

"Griezmann's cross was delivered very comfortably, Giroud was almost close at hand with his header, but Kulusevski blocked him and headed the ball out of the baseline. Corner for France!"

The Swedish teenager, who is also 186cm tall, has also returned to his penalty area during this defense, and assisted Larsson in defending Giroud's potentially fatal header this time!
At this time, the goalkeepers Isaacson, Larsson, Lindelof, Granqvist and others all gave Kulusevski a high-five, expressing their affirmation of the teenager's defense!
Countless Swedish fans at the scene also chanted Kulusevski's name, and began to understand why Pan Yi wanted Kulusevski to start today.

This little guy is not only unique in offense, but he is also unambiguous when the coach asks him to defend.

It is true that he is still lacking in defensive skills or interception ability, but his good height and weight can allow him to have a good defensive area when he is in a position, and he is not afraid to compete with a big center like Giroud. confrontation.

Moreover, behind Kulusevsky now is Larson, who has always been known for "running to death"!
He has played for Sunderland for five years, and Sunderland, a black cat with nine lives, can keep relegation every year in the Premier League. Except for Manchester United's two elders (Brown + O'Shea) in the defense, the midfielder is really Run around the world with Larson.

And Larson is also a versatile player. In addition to the midfield position, the one-stop right wing-right winger, right midfielder, right wingback, and right back are actually very good at it. He has even played as a front midfielder and left midfielder. ...

Therefore, Pan Yi arranged him behind Kulusevsky in order to make up for his lack of running ability, and at the same time allow Kulusevsky to play his own offensive and defensive characteristics!
Of course, there is another point that the fans have not seen for the time being.

That is because Larson himself is a midfielder, good at intercepting and stealing;

Therefore, when necessary, let Larson receive the center and form a double midfielder with Wayne Bloom to press the French midfielder. This is also a good means of restraining the operation of the opponent's midfield.

At this time, Augustinson on the left can approach the center of the defense line and form a three-center back position with Lindelof and Lanqvist. The entire formation of the Swedish team has also changed into a 3-4-3.

In this way, Sweden can flexibly switch between the two formations, and the "switch" for switching is Sebastian Larsson!

And soon, the commentator also began to understand Pan Yi's deployment.

"As the game unfolds, 10 minutes have passed, and the score between the two sides is still 0:0!"

"Because of France's proactive attack after the opening in the first 10 minutes, we can finally clearly see Pan Yi's targeted defense against France in this game from the game."

“潘毅这一场比赛的战术说是4-3-3，可实际上却经常会切换成3-4-3。”

"In the frontcourt, Ibrahimovic plays an all-round center forward. He can move the opponent's defense line and launch a press at will according to the situation on the field. This is the same as before."

"However, Isaac and Guidetti next to him are not fixed on the sidewalks, but often cruising to the middle. There is always one person between the two who will appear next to Pogba, and even often There were two people on the left and one on the right to pinch Pogba."

"In addition to Lukusevski and Forsberg who were already in the midfield, they also paid great attention to the defense of Pogba, which led to the fact that as long as Pogba got the ball, his side must be There must be at least one or two defensive players pressing on him."

"This forces Pogba to move the ball out as soon as possible, and most of the time it is a return pass or a hasty pass. The kind of purposeful and thoughtful pass that is similar to the first long pass at the beginning of the game is better. There are fewer and fewer, which is obviously restricted by the Swedish team."

"In the midfielder position, Wayne Bloom firmly stood in the position, echoed with Lukusevski and Forsberg in front, of course, this is not all."

"As I said just now, the formation of the Swedish team will change according to the situation in France. Especially when Griezmann runs up the front line and forms a double striker with Giroud, Augustinsson will be retracted to form a three. The central defender's position."

"At the same time, Larsson will run to the midfielder position and become a side midfielder. In this way, four midfielders can be used to contain France's three midfielders."

"And the three central defenders are also very targeted. We all know that the combination of three central defenders has many advantages when dealing with double forwards, such as greater mobility, and it is easier to defend more locally than less, and so on."

"And Larsson's position on the right is relatively high, parallel to Wayne Bloom. He can go forward and participate in the attack, but once the French offensive is fierce, he will come back to defend. It is very interesting. .”

"Coupled with his support for Kulusevsky in front of him, this makes him an important node in Pan Yi's style of play today."

"It's really surprising that Pan Yi can rely so heavily on a player like Larsson, who was originally a substitute for the Swedish team and only played for the Premier League relegation team!"

"Perhaps only the world's most handsome man like him dares to work so hard in such an important game as the European Cup semi-finals? But obviously, such a hard work is effective."

"French tactics often rely on midfield suppression to make room for Pogba, play to Pogba's strength, and then create articles through the free running and pulling of Griezmann and Giroud in the frontcourt. Especially Griezmann. But Pan Yi's targeted arrangement obviously restrained this."

"From the opening point of view, the French midfielder did not have the slightest advantage, but was suppressed by the Swedish team. Because the Swedish team often plays 4 against 3 in the midfield, and can even achieve a specific time by running on both sides. The overwhelming situation of 5 vs 3 here can always cut the French midfield to pieces."

"Just like Kanter, Pan Yi's understanding of his favorite disciple must be better than anyone in this world. He sent Wayne Bloom to fight him more physically, preventing him from playing all his characteristics .”

"Now, we can finally understand why Pan Yi uses the current lineup. At present, this style of play is very solid in defense, and once the defense is successful and starts to counterattack, the midfielder Forsberg and Kulusevski has the ability to move forward with the ball and even shoot directly."

"In this way, the Swedish team will not pursue defense too much like Germany, resulting in a lack of offensive inspiration. After all, if you only rely on defense, you cannot beat France!"

"Judging from the first 10 minutes of the game, under the domineering French offensive, the Swedish team has done a good job on both ends of the offense and defense, and Pan Yi's targeted tactics are showing results."

"Comparatively speaking, France can't make many articles on the wing. Their midfield position has a narrow coverage of the area and lacks sufficient protection for the wing."

"If the Swedish team can use the mobile force Larsson, including Augustinsson with good skills on the left to create enough threats on the side, it may also be able to cause trouble for France on the offensive end on both sides..."

On the field, Pogba is playing a little irritable now.

There are people harassing him all the time, which makes him play very hard.

Sometimes he wanted to get rid of his opponent with a dribble, but was repeatedly intercepted, which caused the opponent to counterattack.

During a hasty kick transfer, Pogba accidentally used too much force and kicked the ball out of the sideline, which caused Payet, who was responding there, to complain.

Pogba didn't care what Payet was saying, but followed the flight path of the ball and looked towards the stands.

I saw that his wizard was resting his eyes with his eyes closed. It seemed that he was a little tired because he had practiced for too long after the opening.

On the other side of the Swedish fan area, the monks seemed to be resting too, but the Taoist priests were still dancing and busy.

Obviously, there is a rotation between the monk and the Taoist priest, so that mana can be continuously delivered to the field!
"Fuck, careless, no wonder I didn't play so well, I would have hired one more if I knew it!"

Pogba cursed, but shook his head again:

"My wizard costs several million. The two people he invited by Pan Yi are obviously not weaker than him. So Pan Yi must spend tens of millions of euros?"

"It really is the head coach with the highest salary in the world, and I can't afford to provoke him."
