Chapter 463 What is Immediate Results?

The game continues.

In the first half, the Swedish team was in a tug-of-war with Ireland for the rest of the time, except for the first 20 minutes of the game when they had an advantage.

Although Sweden is superior in technology and ball control, Ireland's midfield suppression is in place, which has caused a lot of trouble for Sweden.

This made it difficult for Sweden to cause an effective attack on Ireland's penalty area after reducing the pace of the game in the second half of the first half.

In contrast to Ireland, although they did not invest too many troops in the frontcourt, they played very efficiently every time they counterattacked.

Moreover, since Sweden's backcourt only has Lindelof as a goal point, this also leads to Ireland's double forwards and one midfielder, a total of three people, who can also press Sweden's frontcourt.

It is difficult to play the ball in the backcourt, which also affects the advancement of the midfield, which in turn affects the attack frequency of the frontcourt.

"Let Forsberg drop back to meet the ball from the backcourt?" Arteta made his suggestion.

Now he observes the details of the game very carefully, and can quickly find effective solutions, which is why Pan Yi assured him to take over as Chelsea's head coach.

But Pan Yi still denied Ta Zige's idea: "This is a way, but in this way, our ability to press in the midfield will be further reduced."

In the development trend of football interpreted by Pan Yi, a very important point is control.

Why is the slow turn of the Swedish team's central defender so easily caught by the opponent and used?

In addition to the player's own ability characteristics, there are actually other reasons.

Because many times, the shortcomings of some players in a team can be made up for by other players!

In such a situation, it is because the Swedish team did not press the opponent enough.

Now Pan Yi is just trying to let the Swedish players gradually adapt to controlling the rhythm of the game in such a fierce main game, and he is more pursuing partial and fast cooperation, instead of requiring the frontcourt to form a level of oppression against Ireland like Chelsea.

The loss of oppression on the opponent made it impossible for the Swedish midfielder to provide timely and effective protection to the back line, and the opponent could easily threaten the back line.

Looking at today's football, from clubs to national teams, how many top teams in all the top teams do not emphasize on-the-spot counter-robbing and pressing in the midfield?
Pressing has become an integral element of today's football tactics, but Sweden is not doing enough at this point.

Second, Sweden's lack of control.

Every line of defense will have problems. For example, Barcelona, ​​which was almost invincible at the time, their weakness is the high ball and Pique's turn.

But once the ultimate oppression and control is achieved, then this problem will be weakened to the minimum.Opponents will find the ball and space dominated by their opponents and difficult to exploit.

Even if you want to hit it with a high ball, there is no room for kicking!
The Swedish team's midfield control is not strong. Needless to say, Ekdal and Karlstrom, it is good to be able to hold their positions.

Forsberg has good skills, but he is more inclined to pass threatening balls and long-range shooting skills. He is not good at controlling, or being a team's metronome.

Therefore, the ball will often fall to Ireland's feet, and they can get more frequent opportunities to kick and pass, allowing their double centers to hit the header.

Fortunately, the Swedish team's defense now has a good air defense capability, which prevented the Irish from succeeding.

"So in the second half I will consider letting Kulusevski go up and try to play as a midfielder. His impact is still okay."

After explaining his thoughts to Arteta and Scaloni, Pan Yi finally said.

"Kulusevski is a good guy, but he still feels too tender!" Scaloni was a little worried.

Arteta feels the same way.

But Pan Yi still smiled and said: "Nen Guinen, as long as he can play at his level, he must use it. Have you forgotten Mbappe?"

In fact, in the warm-up match against Wales, Pan Yi tried to use Kulusevsky in different positions.

In Pan Yi's previous life, the adult version of Kulusevsky mainly played as a right winger, and liked to use his smooth left foot to cut inside and hit the goal.

Sometimes he also plays as a midfielder, which is the No. 10 position.This is also to use his excellent skills to deliver shells to the forwards, and he can suddenly penetrate the vitals like a sharp knife.

In fact, when Kulusevsky was currently in the Atlanta youth team, he also played in the 8th position.

This is because he also has a stable ability to hold the ball, a proactive attitude and a broad vision of the game, coupled with his excellent passing and long-range shooting ability, which allows him to pose a threat far from the goal.

This is also normal for young players, after all, no player has been fixed in a position since he was a child.

In other words, which kid doesn't want to be a striker?Whether it was Van Dijk or Casemiro, or even Joe Hart, Neuer played as a striker when he was a child.

Youth training coaches of all ages often let players get in touch with various positions as much as possible, which also helps a young player improve his understanding of football.

It is about 13 or 4 years old that you will start to slowly determine your position, and this is not fixed. After all, some players may sometimes be discovered later because of a certain trait, and will not be developed until an older age.

Of course, the stars who changed positions that we are more familiar with even changed after they had entered the adult first team, and then they had a second spring in their new positions, which also changed their fate.

Sergio Ramos, from full-back to centre-back;
Gareth Bale, from full-back to winger;
Andrea Pirlo, from front to back;
Yu Dabao, from forward to defender... (delete this article)

They tore off their previous label, and in another position, they reached their full potential and became famous, or more famous than before.

In short, now that Kulusevsky is only 16 years old, he can completely shape his tactics and position according to his characteristics, and let him play at his own level.

More importantly, these characteristics of him now are quite suitable for the Swedish team, and can also improve the two problems mentioned above in Sweden.

For one thing, Kulusevski is young and aggressive, can run on both sides after getting up, and can also assist the frontcourt to press and press Ireland;

Secondly, Kulusevski's foot skills are also stronger than Karlstrom's, which can increase the control of the midfield.

It can be said that this is an approach that kills two birds with one stone.

The only hidden danger is that his playing may lead to a further decline in the defensive ability of the midfielder, which can be said to be a risky choice.

"How can there be no risk-free gains on the court?" Pan Yi laughed and said, "We were like this in the first half, let the Irish relax their vigilance. Wait until the second half, and we will resort to this tender trick. Show them!"
-
"Your performance in the first half of the game was very good, I am very satisfied!"

In the locker room at halftime, Pan Yi did not express his dissatisfaction with the players.

After all, Pan Yi asked for an opening attack, but now Sweden did not score in the first half, obviously it did not achieve the effect expected by the head coach.

Therefore, the Swedish players are under a lot of psychological pressure now.

Pan Yi knew that if he reprimanded him again, it would only be counterproductive.

A mature head coach must know how to control his temper, know when to get angry and when to give encouragement.

"But we were a little too sloppy in the last pass and scoring. We must pay attention to it in the second half!"

The players were sweating profusely, but they all listened carefully.

This is the first official game that Pan Yi directed them.

There are many people in this team who dream of joining Chelsea and Pan Yi's team.

Although most of them are still a bit far away from a giant like Chelsea, they are still coached by Pan Yi, which can be regarded as their wish.

Therefore, none of them dared to be careless, for fear of leaving a bad impression on Pan Yi.

"You!" Pan Yi looked at Forsberg, "After the start of the second half, your activity area should be larger. When you go forward, you must be able to interfere with the opponent's central defender; when you retreat, you must be able to give me McCarthy and others. A few lower backs are pulled out, understand what I mean?"

Forsberg drank the water and nodded emphatically.

"In the second half, you replaced Karlstrom." Pan Yi pointed to Kulusevski again, "You and Forsberg play as a central midfielder, and pay attention to keeping a distance from the midfielder Ekdal."

The young Kulusevski looked surprised, but also nervous.

He didn't expect that in today's important European Cup match, he would get the chance to play so soon!
According to his idea, Pan Yi may have called him into the team just to cultivate rookies. If he can play at the last moment of the game to experience the atmosphere of the competition, he will be very satisfied.

After all, Kulusevsky is half a year younger than Isaac and has no experience in professional leagues. His expectations for the national team are even much lower than Isaac.

"have you understood?"

Pan Yi asked again, and Kulusevsky quickly puffed up his chest and replied loudly: "Understood, boss!"

Pan Yi turned back and patted Karlstrom on the shoulder.

The coach didn't say anything, but Karlstrom understood that this was to comfort him.

Although there was indeed a little reluctance in his heart, Karlstrom still met Pan Yi's gaze and nodded firmly.

As a veteran, of course he knows that the interests of the team come first.

After fighting in the first half, he was indeed a little bit powerless in some running.

At this time, Shi Yi taught Pan Yi to make adjustments here, which were obviously targeted tactical changes. Can he still say no?
Of course, another factor is that behind Pan Yi, the tall figure of Ibrahimovic is standing there, staring at Karlstrom.

Karlstrom even saw that Ibrahimovic seemed to be swinging a baseball bat in his hand...

"Ireland's defensive system is actually not rigorous. There is a big gap between the three midfielders. We must be good at grasping this gap and making use of it."

Pan Yi continued his tactical explanation:

"So after the start of the second half, Kulusevski, Ekdal and Forsberg, you all have to enter the opponent's 30-meter area more, run more, find more gaps, and cooperate with the forward line to dismember the Irish team's defense. !"

"As long as the offensive players find a gap in the gap, it will definitely cause the defensive side to be passive. They have to intercept, assist in the defense, and fill in. These actions will disrupt their defensive rhythm."

"Also, it will also increase the tight defensive distance between them and their teammates that has always been maintained, and once the distance is opened, that is our opportunity."

"Ibrahimovic is still at the core of the striker. If you have the opportunity, you can let your captain hit the goal. You know that he has such ability."

"But if the Irish keep him on guard, then do what you both do, and don't rely too much on your captain!"

Pan Yi's last two words were addressed to Isaac and Guidetti, and the two wingers also nodded heavily.

They all made some relatively low-level mistakes in the first half that led to missed opportunities, and of course they wanted to have a better performance in the second half.

"The offense in the second half will be mainly launched from the left, focusing on their right defense!"

Pan Yi began to emphasize his strong offensive tactics on the left.

Ireland's right back Brady, although his speed is not bad, but his defensive position and stealing ability are relatively average.

His career path in Manchester City's youth training was not smooth, and now he can only play for a team like Hull City.

So Pan Yi wanted to seize the opponent's weakness and carry out key strikes!
"Olsson, you have to be more determined to go forward in the second half, and rush forward as soon as you get the ball."

"As for whether to hand it over to Isaac after reaching the frontcourt, or to cut inside and go to the bottom by yourself, you make up your own mind based on the situation on the court."

"But one thing, don't bite the bullet and hit the penalty area, because sometimes our Zlatan doesn't like heading the ball, and he may have retreated to get the ball."

Olsson nodded in understanding.

"Isaac, you have to keep echoing with Olsson. Once he attracts the pressure of the defensive player and pulls out the gap, you play the gap decisively and Olsson will form behind you. Be smart. , boy!"

Pan Yi looked at Isaac again.

It's not just Kulusevsky who was replaced in the second half. In fact, Isaac is the more important part of Pan Yi's offensive tactics.

"The Irish team's counterattack is very sharp. In the second half, our central and frontcourt players should pay attention. After losing the ball, everyone will counterattack on the spot!"

"I want everyone to invest in the counterattack immediately, even in the last minute of the game, don't be careless, before the whistle sounds, don't slack off!"

"This is our first game in the European Cup. To be honest, if we don't win Ireland, we won't be eliminated. But, are you here to participate in the game just for a draw or even a loss? "

The players answered in unison:

"No, we're here to win!"

"Very good," Pan Yi clapped his hands, "Then let us go out now and let the group of green Irish people understand that we Vikings are amazing! Face the sea, boy!"

"Aye!"
-
"Let's see the Irish attack this time."

"O'Shea passed the ball forward to McCarthy, and the Swedish side Ekdal pushed forward immediately."

"McCarthy tried to pass the ball, but there was a mistake. Kulusevski got the ball before Sean Long, a very good tackle, and Sweden hit the counter!"

"After Pan Yi replaced Kulusevski in the second half, the young player was very active. He not only showed his talent in dribbling and passing, but also helped the team a lot on the defensive end. !"

"Kulusewski dribbled the ball very fast and quickly entered the Irish half. The entire Irish defense line was returning quickly, but there seemed to be a hole on the right. Brady just wanted to go up and assist. Failed to return to defense in time!"

"Kulusewski really passed the ball here! The Swedish left back Olsson has already assisted and stepped forward. After running a few steps with the ball, he passed it to the left winger Isaac who came to meet him."

"Isaac made a beautiful stop and continued to dribble the ball along the left flank, reaching the hinterland of Ireland and handing it to Forsberg!"

"Forsberg passed to the front of the penalty area, beautiful! Ibrahimovic leaned on O'Shea, turned around after stopping the ball, and shot directly from the front of the penalty area, the ball scored!!!!"

Following the exclamation of the on-site commentator, all the Swedish fans stood up from their seats in surprise, and the Stade de France suddenly became a yellow ocean of joy.

The live TV camera immediately switched to Pan Yi on the coach's bench, and he jumped up from his seat excitedly, raised his arms, raised his arms, and vented his excitement after scoring a goal.

After all, this is the first goal of his national team career!

Soon, Arteta, Scaloni and others embraced excitedly with Pan Yi, looking very excited.

done!Pan Yi's midfield tactical adjustment had an immediate effect!

Pan Liying!
"In the 55th minute, just 10 minutes into the second half, the Swedish team scored the goal of the Irish team first, 1:0!"

"The cooperation of the Swedish team is very beautiful, and the movement awareness is very good."

"Especially the young teenagers Isaac and Kulusevski, who were just called up to the team shortly before the start of the European Cup, played a very key role in this attack."

"Kulusewski was the initiator of the offense from steals, while Isaac developed the ball to the most threatening area of ​​Ireland. It can be said that Pan Yi's use of them is the biggest highlight of this offense !"

"And when the ball reached Forsberg's feet, everything became clear. This Leipzig midfielder, who was established by Pan Yi as the core of the team's playmaker, accurately handed the ball to captain Ibrahimovic."

"How could Ibrahimovic miss such an opportunity? When he turned around after taking the ball, he was as calm and decisive as ever, and his kick was also very firm. This is the Ibrahimovic we are familiar with!"

"When the king comes, the fairy goes, Zlatan Ibrahimovic!"

After the team scored a goal, Pan Yi was in a great mood.

After adjustments in the second half, the left back Olsson stepped in more resolutely, and he interacted more fully with Isaac and Kulusevsky, which completely activated the wing.

To create chances for Forsberg and Ibrahimovic and let them take them, the goal is as simple as that.

And now, it's going to continue like this.

"Don't be too obsessed with this goal, seize the opportunity and come again!"

"Don't be careless, remember, we are only leading by 1 goal, and it is very unsafe!"

"Before they recover, continue to work hard and get him one more!"

After the celebration, Pan Yi shouted continuously from the sidelines, asking the players not to relax because of the goal, and at the same time continue to maintain the pressure on the Irish team.

Don't shrink back in the formation, continue to maintain the pressure, and strive to score more goals to completely establish the advantage of the game!

Such a reminder is indeed useful.

Just less than 5 minutes after the Swedish team scored, Ekdal cut off Ireland's ball in the midfield, counterattacked again, and once again entered the hinterland of Ireland.

The Irish players obviously haven't fully recovered from the blow of conceding the ball just now. Facing Sweden's lightning and thunderous attack, the defense line seemed a little flustered.

When Ibrahimovic returned Forsberg's pass to Isaac who was plugging in from the wing, O'Shea actually pushed Isaac with a more obvious pushing action in a hurry.

Isaac's feet were weak and he fell directly into the penalty area.The referee's whistle also sounded.

O'Shea immediately complained to the referee, thinking that Isaac was diving, but the referee firmly pointed to the penalty spot.

penalty!

Ireland looked very helpless up and down, but Ibrahimovic had the ball in his arms and was heading towards the penalty spot.

Facing Randolph, Ibrahimovic first made a vigorous shooting action.

After Randolph made a prediction, he rushed to the right, but Ibrahimovic made a light shot...

Spoon Penalty!Da Fengxian can also embroider!

With Ibrahimovic's brace, Sweden leads Ireland 2-0!

Shortly after this goal, Pan Yi began to dispatch troops.

He first replaced the scoring hero Ibrahimovic with Marcus Berry, and at the same time let Ibrahimovic accepted the cheers and applause of the Swedish fans.

Ibrahimovic is definitely the big killer of this Swedish team, but it must be used sparingly!
This is especially true in tournament-based competitions with a relatively intensive schedule like the European Cup.

Although Ibrahimovic was a little annoyed because he had no chance to perform a hat-trick, he also expressed his understanding of Pan Yi's decision.

After all, he is not Ibrahimovic when he was young, and he knows his physical condition.

Even if he is a lion, he is still a middle-aged lion!

Later, Pan Yi replaced Forsberg with Sebastian Larsson, the former Arsenal youth player and current Sunderland player.

Two big babies, both hide!

These two substitutions meant that the Swedish team began to focus on defense.

Of course, Ireland, which was behind, was unwilling to fail. In the final stage, veteran striker Robbie Keane was replaced, and rounds of fierce attacks were launched against the Swedish position.

But Sweden was not in a hurry at all, and patiently played a defensive counterattack under Pan Yi's command.

Ireland's attack failed to work. Instead, the Swedish team seized the opportunity of the opponent's defense and counterattacked several times, but unfortunately they did not grasp it.

In the end, there was no change in the score.

Sweden defeated Ireland 2:0 and made a good start to this European Cup!
