After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

Chapter 470

The "King of Yue" Morata, this is a figure who can be as famous as the "King of Pestle Pile" and "King Qinxiao".

It can be said that if there are special statistics, Morata may be the player with the most offsides in football history.

Yes, maybe even Inzaghi, a hot man living on the offside line, can't compare!

In a UEFA Champions League group match between Juventus and Barcelona, ​​Morata scored three times, but all three times were disqualified for offside.

As a result, Morata also became the first player to complete a hat-trick of offside goals in the Champions League.

When he played for Atletico Madrid, he became the player with the most offsides in La Liga with 36 offsides in one season.

He also had a famous scene when he played for Chelsea. He was offside 5 times in a game against Everton, becoming the player with the most offsides in a single game in the Premier League that season.

His off-digits in one season in the Premier League also exceeded the sum of the entire team of many teams.

It can be seen that Morata is indeed a veritable "offside striker", so it is really reasonable for fans to give him the nickname "Yue Wang".

In fact, he has so many offsides. In addition to showing that he is very active in running positions and likes to go forward, it more reflects that Morata's sense of position is still a little bit weak, and his cooperation with his teammates is not so tacit.

He himself jokingly attributed this reason to his big feet in an interview:
"Maybe it's because I have big feet. My shoe size is 45, and everyone else's shoe size is 42..."

But no matter what the reason is, since Pan Yi knows this weakness of Morata, of course he has to take advantage of it.

It is precisely because of this that Pan Yi actually greeted Lindelof and Granqvist before the game, asking them to pay attention to their positions and deliberately creating an offside trap for Morata.

After all, although Morata's absolute speed is not fast compared with many "super-running" forwards in the world, it is still enough in front of the Swedish double central defender.

It would be too risky to let Lindelof or Granqvist compete with Morata after the opponent passes the ball.

Therefore, Pan Yi arranged an offside tactic.

No, it was a success.

At the moment when the whistle sounded, Bosque, who was standing on the sidelines, shook his hand vigorously, feeling a little bitter.

This is the most threatening attack of the Spanish team since the opening of the game, but it fell into the offside trap of the Swedes, which is somewhat depressing.

After all, being sentenced for offside is actually equivalent to being taken away from a single-handed shot.

"Morata started too early, and was spotted by the opponent!" Tony Grande shook his head and smiled wryly.

Tony Grande is the assistant coach of the Spanish national team and the most trusted assistant of Del Bosque.

When Del Bosque was in charge of Real Madrid, Grande was already his number one assistant.

Bosque nodded, he knew that there was no problem with the offside penalty this time.

Even the slow-motion playback on the big screen at the scene can be seen that Morata was indeed offside when Fabregas passed the ball, and it was obvious.

It can only be said that this kid was only focused on watching the ball, he didn't pay attention to observe his position, and fell into the trap set by the Swedes.

"I've been telling him to pay attention to his position and timing, but he just can't change it." Bosque shook his head, "If it wasn't for us, we really wouldn't have a better striker available..."

Grande also nodded slightly.

Since Villa withdrew from the national team and Torres got old, Spain has indeed been unable to find a suitable center forward.

Diego Costa is very strong, but it seems that he has not been able to fully integrate in the national team and has not been able to perform at his highest level.

And this time he was a little bit injured, so Bosque didn't take him to France at all.

This also led them to let Morata, who is in excellent form at the club, play the main center position, and brought the 35-year-old Valencia striker Aduriz as a substitute.

Perhaps, this is also a manifestation of the decline in the competitive level of the Spanish national team in recent years.

"Pan Yi is very cunning. He should have studied Morata's characteristics, so he specially designed an offside tactic for him." Grande reminded.

Bosque nodded slightly, agreeing with the assistant's opinion, then after thinking for a while, he took a few steps forward and clapped his hands vigorously: "Alvaro (Morata)! Pay attention to your position! Pay attention to your activation timing! Really can't, slow down, wait for teammates to respond!"

This is another reminder to Morata.

At the same time, this is also a tactful criticism: If you can't make a single shot, don't use offside to waste opportunities, just be a fulcrum honestly and support your teammates!

Morata pouted, nodded in agreement.

Of course he understood what Bosque meant, and he was a little unhappy.

But what can be done?

He is only a 24-year-old young striker and was selected for the national team for the first time at the end of 2014. This European Cup is only his first major competition with the team.

The most important thing is that he was really not cautious just now, and he easily fell into the offside trap of the Swedish team, so now he can only listen to the coach.

"Hey, hey, hey, cheer up, the game has just begun, we still have more chances, don't be discouraged, cheer up!"

As Bosque and Grande kept shouting from the sidelines, Spain really revived their spirits and began to organize waves of offensives.

They gave full play to their technical advantages, tried their best to pass and receive the ball with one kick, never let the ball stay at their feet more, and completed the pass with one kick.

Including Morata, also honestly retreated to serve as a "transfer station", allowing the ball to have an extra point in the frontcourt.

This approach also made the Swedish team's press almost useless.

Sometimes, the gap in strength cannot be filled simply by hard work. Otherwise, a hardworking village super player can play in the Premier League?
The technical gap made the Swedish team want to contain Spain's offense, and it had to invest more energy and manpower than the opponent.

And if more manpower is invested here, the manpower there will naturally decrease. After all, football is still an 11-man vs. 11-man sport.

Soon, Spain passed a small-scale cooperation and passed the ball in front of Sweden's defense.

David Silva's sharp through ball passed behind Granqvist, and this time it was Pedro who went forward quickly!

Known as the "Saber", he is very fast, but Sweden has already taken precautions.

Olsson, who is not at a disadvantage in speed, actually lagged behind deliberately in this defense, and he also noticed Pedro's forward intention.

So Olsson managed to keep his body against Pedro, get ahead of him, and clear the ball out of the touchline for a throw-in.

This time, Olsson's steady clearance prevented Sweden's defense from falling into crisis.

And this Norwich winger fast horse also began to call on his teammates to come back and organize the defense after the siege was cleared, because as soon as the ball was thrown out of bounds, it was in the threat area.

Sure enough, Spain threw a throw-in soon.

After David Silva interspersed to get the ball on the left, he immediately faced Olsson's marking again, so he knocked back to Marcos Alonso who supported him.

This Pan Yi's proud disciple at Chelsea directly crossed the penalty area with a diagonal pass and lobbed the ball to the back point, but was still snatched by Johansson before Pedro, and the header cleared the baseline.

This is also the biggest shortcoming of this Spanish team, that is, its poor air control ability.

After the corner kick was taken, the ball was cleared by Granqvist immediately, and the Swedish team played a counterattack.

The ball was given to Ibrahimovic, who saw that Spain was chasing back very fast and immediately passed it to Isaac on the left.

Isaac felt Ramos' pressing. After getting the pass from Ibrahimovic, he immediately knocked back. The two formed a two-for-two cooperation around Ramos and Pique.

However, after Ibrahimovic got the ball, he was overtaken by the Spanish players, so he had no choice but to kick directly at a distance of about 25 meters.

The angle was right, but De Gea stood firmly in front of the position and threw Ibrahimovic's long shot to resolve the threat.

Ibrahimovic shook his head vigorously, but when he walked back, he still gave Isaac a thumbs up.

This kid's consciousness is really not bad, especially just now, Ibrahimovic didn't raise his hand to signal or shout or anything, but he was able to perceive Ibrahimovic's intentions by heart, his brain is good, not bad!

With Big Brother's approval, Isaac also nodded and smiled, and then immediately went back to prepare for defense.

At the same time, Ibrahimovic couldn't help but glanced at the coach's bench.

After all, Isaac was recruited by Pan Yi as soon as he entered the national team, and Pan Yi is still amazing!

After playing these few games, it really proved that Isaac does have the strength to play the main force in this national team, even though he will not turn 17 in two months.

But Pan Yi didn't notice Ibrahimovic's gaze, because he was waving towards his back line!
Pan Yi was signaling Lindelof to advance his defense a bit.

That's because it can be seen from Ibrahimovic's shot just now that the Swedish players have adapted to Spain's defensive rhythm. At this time, they can withstand the oppressive pressure of the opponent and play a wave of offense, which can also suppress Spain. arrogance.

At this time, De Gea took a goal kick and fell directly into the midfield.

Lindelof headed the ball ahead of David Silva, Azpilicueta headed back and this time Ekdal headed it to Guidetti, who dropped back to get the ball Finally, Azpilicueta interfered and knocked the ball back to Lindelof behind him.

The ball passed under the feet of the Swedish team a few times, stabilized the situation, and came to the Spanish half.

And Spain's frontcourt pressing is not light. It is obvious that they hope to force the Swedish team to speed up through the frontcourt counterattack.

At this time, Forsberg realized the gap on the left, and immediately ran over to catch the ball. After getting the ball, he quickly passed it to Olsson who came in from the left.

After getting the ball, the Swedish left-back quickly dribbled the ball along the left and broke through. Isaac in front also immediately opened the gap for Olsson and covered him.

At this time, when Olsson advanced to the outside of Spain's penalty area, he passed the ball to Isaac, and continued to speed forward.

And Isaac also put the ball straight to the baseline, allowing Olsson to squeeze past Azpilicueta with speed and grab the ball before it crossed the baseline.

Ibrahimovic had already ambushed in the penalty area. As soon as he saw Olsson's pass, he immediately followed up in the back row, blocked Pique with his body, and waited for the ball to come.

"Olsson was very fast. He passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, but it seemed that his aim was a bit off...but it didn't bother Ibrahimovic. He took the ball with his back and made a half-turned volley!"

"Oh, De Gea reacted quickly, fell to the ground and saved the ball, corner kick!"

"Forsberg corner, Lindelof header, just a little over!"

"Oh my god, it was Isaac's cross from the left again, and Ibrahimovic shot in front of the goal. Oops, Ramos blocked Ibrahimovic's shot with his body at a critical moment, and the Swedish team missed a good opportunity again!"

The on-site commentator's commentary for this game can be described as a surprise, all kinds of "oops".

But it's no wonder, because during this time, Sweden played very proactively and had many chances to shoot.

It is actually quite rare to get so many opportunities in front of a team with strong ball possession ability like Spain.

"After the start of this game, the Swedish team ran a lot, the players had a wide range of movement, and the pressing was very active, which also allowed them to shoot a lot."

"So far in 30 minutes, Sweden has had 7 shots and David de Gea has made 3 very high-quality saves. In contrast, Spain has 5 shots and only 1 threat to the goal. .”

"This kind of battle between the two sides is very exciting. Many people, including me, think that the Swedish team will definitely play defensive counterattacks, or even bust. Judging from their midfield configuration, it looks like this. intention, but it was not the case.”

"Sweden use more defensive midfielders in the midfield to allow more space for their attacking players while breaking Spain's pass control, and at the same time to get more opportunities to go forward."

"This kind of tactical play is eye-catching. Pan Yi's Swedish team has a very balanced offense and defense. You say he emphasizes offense, but he doesn't press across the board like other teams; you say he defends, But they threatened to attack and advanced to the Spanish penalty area a lot, the quality of counterattacks was very high, and there were a lot of coordination and routines..."

"Perhaps, this is a proactive defensive counterattack tactic. Use pass control to pull the opponent out, then quickly push the ball to the frontcourt, and then attack from multiple points in the frontcourt, through rhythm changes and teamwork, Tear open the opponent's defense."

"Pan Yi knows that Spain likes to press forward and counter-attack on the spot. He will let you attack and then send the ball to the front quickly. And Ibrahimovic, the core of the attack in front, can always find a way to threaten Spain's goal. .”

"Pan Yi and Ibrahimovic, a pair of mentors and apprentices in Milan, trust each other very much, and Pan Yi is also very relieved to hand over the responsibility of scoring goals to Ibrahimovic."

"Compared with the six knockout games of the European Cup that have ended before, the first 30 minutes of this match between Sweden and Spain may be the most exciting half an hour. Because neither side has the slightest reservation, they have dedicated a lot to the fans. A great show."

"However, we can all see that whether it is the underdog Sweden or the dominant Spain, both sides have done a good job in defensive tactics. So so far, no one has been able to Score the opponent's goal."

But when the on-site commentator applauded the Swedish team's starting tactics, even while looking forward to when Sweden could break through the Spanish goal, Spain played a quick attack.

Busquets turned around in the middle to get rid of Forsberg's entanglement, and then distributed the ball to the right.

Iniesta took the ball and went straight forward. Azpilicueta stepped forward. After breaking through Olsson who was defending, he made a pass directly into the penalty area!
And in the middle, it's Morata!

He used his speed to get rid of Granqvist who was marking him, and he had already outflanked him in front of the goal!
The Swedish goalkeeper Isaacson wanted to intercept the pass, but he failed to pounce, instead leaking most of the empty goal behind him.

Azpilicueta made a pass from the right, and Morata happened to be able to push the ball with his left foot to the empty goal!

only……

When Morata rushed to the goal, he accidentally switched to a right-footed shot!

With this 0.1-second change, the ball just touched the toe of Morata's right foot, and then changed a little bit, sliding out of the baseline from the left side of the goal!
The ball missed! ! !
"My grass!"

When Morata knelt down and hugged his head, and a group of Spanish players next to him also hugged their heads in the same style, Pan Yi was also taken aback on the sidelines and cursed.

"MD, it's a good thing it's Morata with double inverse feet..." Pan Yi said happily.

Yes, in addition to the nickname "King of Yue", Morata also has the stalk of "double inverse feet".

It is probably the player Morata. When the left foot is the supporting foot, the right foot is the reverse foot; when the right foot is the supporting foot, the left foot is the reverse foot... In short, there is no smooth foot.

This is because Morata often fails to grasp the opportunities in front of the goal, and many of them are the kind of goals that "grandma can score", so the fans gave him this "elegant name".

Fortunately, this "skill" of Morata took effect at this critical moment.

This also allowed the Swedish team to escape!
Pan Yi, who was still in shock, hurried to the sidelines, waved to his players, and signaled that he would start to calm down.

With an order, the Swedish team obviously began to shrink and began to maintain a tight distance.

This is also impossible.

The start of the Swedish team was very smooth. From front to back, the defensive system was very rigorous and complete, and it was able to limit Spain's passing through effective contraction and local confrontation.

But once Spain successfully adapted to the rhythm and pressing intensity of the Swedish team, they began to firmly control the midfield, using scheduling and transfers to pull the Swedish team's players.

If Pan Yi does not make adjustments and allows the situation to develop like this, then in the end, it is very likely that the Swedish team will be dragged by the nose by Spain.

In the end, he kept running, but couldn't grab the ball. In the end, his physical strength was exhausted, and he became a lamb waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board in Spain.

Pan Yi himself is a master in this area-he often did this when he was at Chelsea, and the most recent game was against Bayern in the Champions League final!

Therefore, he knows better than anyone else the thoughts of Bosque and the Spanish players.

Morata's shot just now is actually a product of this style of play.

It is because the first half has been played for more than 30 minutes, and after the high-tempo fighting and attacking from the beginning to the present, the physical fitness of the Swedish players has reached a small limit, so when the Spanish players attack again, they are already a bit unable to keep up up.

Therefore, Pan Yi asked the Swedish team to take back the kick first, get through the first half first, and see how to do it after the intermission adjustment.

After all, he is not the kind of coach who will make his team attack non-stop just to make the fans feel comfortable.

If you lose, who will remember how you lost today when you lost in a few years?

Only by winning and going further can the Swedish team leave their mark in the Euro 2016!
However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

When Sweden defended a corner kick, Ibrahimovic limped a bit after returning to the penalty area to head the ball to the ground.

After arriving on the sidelines, the team doctor Wolfart rushed up to check on Ibrahimovic's situation, and then immediately reported the situation to Pan Yi: "It's a bit twisted, the problem is not very big, but this game may not be able to play. .”

"Wang Defa?" Pan Yi cursed.

Ibrahimovic is a very important part of his tactics. Now the game has just started for more than half an hour. If Ibrahimovic is injured, how will the Swedish team's tactics unfold?

"Let me continue to play, Zlatan will never run away!" Ibrahimovic said firmly.

"We can't take this risk, you still have to help me play for the German team." Pan Yi smiled and patted Ibrahimovic on the shoulder, "Please trust me and your teammates!"

Ibrahimovic nodded slightly.

He really trusted Pan Yi very much, so he believed everything Pan Yi said!

And Pan Yi turned around, ready to change.

Now there is no way but to enable Plan B.

"You, get ready to play!" Pan Yi shouted towards Kulusevsky.

Kulusevsky froze for a moment, apparently not expecting him to be called.

Under normal circumstances, the replacement should be called Marcus Berry, because Kulu was used as a central midfielder in the previous games...

But Kulusevsky immediately took off his jacket and started a simple warm-up.

And Pan Yi immediately walked to his side and began to explain what he should pay attention to after playing.

"Ibrahimovic is obviously injured. He has not been able to return to the game on the sidelines. Now Sweden is temporarily playing with ten people."

"It seems that luck is not on the side of the Swedish team. Everyone knows how important Zlatan Ibrahimovic is to this Swedish team! As Sweden's number one star and captain, he has also played for the ball in two games. The team scored three goals and ranked first in the European Cup shooting list."

"Now if he can't persist in the game, it will be a big blow to the tactics and morale of the Swedish team!"

"I don't know what Pan Yi will do to deal with this kind of accident? Now the midfielder Kulusevski is warming up. Does Pan Yi want to withdraw a striker directly and play 4-4-2 or something like that? Do you want to strengthen your defense?"

"Judging from the Swedish team's style of play in recent times, it is indeed a bit defensive. Pan Yi will not want to put the bus on the bus to delay the time to overtime, and then kick a penalty kick to try his luck?"

"This doesn't seem to be the Pan Yi we know. But there is really no other way. Without Ibrahimovic, what can Sweden, which is already weak in strength, have against others... Wait, let's see this game!"

As the so-called house leak happens to rain all night, and the so-called wind blows egg shells...

Once a person is unlucky, nothing will go well.

Especially in such an important football game, luck is often a key factor in determining the outcome of the game.

When Ibrahimovic was off the field due to injury in the 40th minute and the substitutes hadn't played yet, Spain took the opportunity to play an attack.

Sweden's defense seemed a bit distracted by the captain's injury. Lindelof was recklessly passed by the opponent when he was defending David Silva. Glenqvist left to help him fill the position. own position.

David Silva passed the ball to Pedro, who got the ball and put it directly into the small penalty area. A calm left-footed push shot directly into the bottom left corner of the goal, opening the scoring for the Spanish team!

All the Swedish players stood there dumbstruck, watched the Spanish players rush towards their fans, and started celebrating happily.

1:0, Spain leads Sweden! !
