Chapter 306 Fantasy Spain! We all owe Yang Hao an apology! [A big chapter with ten thousand words, please beg me to subscribe]

The interesting thing about the tournament system is that it is linked closely to each other.

There is one game in three days, and there are only three games in the group stage, which will not leave you any time to breathe.

Therefore, Yang Hao warned many times before the game that it is crucial to play well in the first game.

This is the equivalent of buttoning the first button.

Spain solved it very well, France solved it very badly.

After the game in Innsbruck, everyone in Spain returned to the base. The players went back to rest. Yang Hao and the coaching staff sat down for a meeting to discuss the pros and cons of the game and analyze the opponents in the next game.

France.

Mendiodo took charge of the team's scouting department when he was at Atletico Madrid. In the national team, he was also responsible for inspecting players and spying on opponents' military intelligence.

During France's match against Portugal, Spain arranged for two experienced scouts to watch the game.

Yang Hao and others immediately obtained the most detailed game analysis report.

Similar to the situation in Italy, the problem France is facing now is also metabolism.

The older group of players such as Thuram, Kupe, Makelele, Niall and Gallas are now in their thirties. After Zidane retired, the French team has found a new midfielder. No one can take Zidane's place.

Domenech was actually well prepared for this situation with the French team.

On the one hand, he recruited a large number of young players, such as Tulalang, Benzema, Ribery, Malouda, Lass Diarra, Nasri and other new international players to join the team, further injecting fresh blood.

This line of thinking is correct.

But the key question is, how to effectively adjust the team's tactical play?

France coach Domenech is seriously lacking in confidence.

France's results in the European Cup qualifiers can only be considered average, with 12 wins, 8 draws and 2 losses in 2 games.

Their luck was very good. In addition to Italy, they met Scotland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Georgia and the Faroe Islands. France's most common qualifiers were to attack weak teams and score four, five or six goals at every turn. .

What about the stronger ones?

They lost to Scotland 0-1 at home and away, drew 2-2 with Ukraine away from home, and played against Lithuania at home and away. In fact, their performance was not particularly ideal.

Throughout the qualifiers, France's best performance was a 3-1 home victory over Italy.

But note, this is a qualifier.

What about the official European Cup games?

The intensity was much higher than that of the qualifiers. In this case, Domenech had some entanglements.

Henry's playing time in Barcelona has dropped sharply, and his performance is not as good as before. After all, his age is there.

The defense is a bit old, but the new young central defenders, such as Squillaci, Mexes and others are not reassuring enough and cannot take the lead for the time being.

After this back and forth, Domenech formed a defense combination of Abidal, Gallas, Thuram and Sagnol.

Some people may ask, what about Evra?

The world's number one left back, doesn't he even have a chance to play?

This is where Domenech gets worried.

Evra has always been the main player, but was replaced by Abidal in this game because the latter defended better.

Not only that, Domenech also changed the French team's tactics from the original 442 double forwards to a 4231 formation.

The midfielder is Makelele partnering Tulalang, with Malouda, Benzema and Ribery in front, and Anelka is the lone forward.

Seeing this, everyone will have a doubt, why does Benzema play as an attacking midfielder?

Why does Anelka play the center position?

In this set of 4231, the No. midfielder and center are crucial.

Yang Hao could probably guess the entanglements and worries in Domenech's heart.

Benzema is too young.

If Benzema is asked to play center, he is worried that he will not be able to carry it.

The combination of Benzema and Anelka is more like forming a double striker forward and acting as a tandem behind. In this regard, Benzema is indeed more suitable than Anelka.

But what about the effect?

After losing to Portugal 0-2, the problem exposed was that no one in the midfield was able to organize and get the ball.

Makelele and Tularan simply cannot bear this burden.

The only player in the French team who has the ability to take the ball and organize the attack is Ribery, but he was pulled to the wing.

When Portugal restricted Ribery to the right wing, the French team's entire midfield was paralyzed.

If you don't dare to risk using Evra, you can rely on Malouda on the left to break through Portugal's right defense?

In the end, the result was that the French team performed very poorly throughout the game.

If according to Domenech's previous thinking, Benzema and Anelka are two forwards when attacking, then Malouda and Ribery should actively return to the ribs, or even in the middle, to give up the two wings. Insert the full-back.

In this case, it is necessary for the double midfielders of Makelele and Tulalang to exist.

But it was obvious that neither Abidal nor Sagnol actively pressed forward.

The ultimate reason is that Domenech is too conservative.

When you have the world's top offensive left back like Evra on the bench but don't dare to use it, you tell your players that you have to actively press?

Isn’t this nonsense?

The players themselves also know how to watch their actions. They will guess what your head coach is thinking.

Not only that, judging from this battle against Portugal, both Anelka and Benzema were unsatisfactory.

……

"The most fundamental reason for the current situation of the French team is that after Zidane retired, the team seriously lacked a core!"

Yang Hao pointed out the problem sharply.

The core here is not just one person, but also a group of people, a concept, and a set of playing methods.

Although Zidane is gone, the old group of people are still there.

Let Ribery replace Zidane?

The whole team plays around Ribery. Is this realistic?

Henry, Thuram, Makelele and others, are you convinced?

It is precisely because of the lack of a core that the French team is worried about gains and losses at critical moments.

"The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the French team. They must win the next two games!" Yang Hao analyzed the French team's situation.

This is the interesting thing about the tournament system.

There are only three games in the group stage. If you lose the first round, you must win the remaining two rounds. Otherwise, you will be eliminated in the group stage.

That is to say, after losing to Portugal, the French team has put a shackles on themselves. Next, they must defeat Spain and Italy, otherwise, they will not be able to qualify.

But there are only 3 days left.

The French team didn't have any extra time to think about it slowly or carefully.

Domenech even has to make a decision tonight.

Return to 442?

No.

Although many media and fans now think that 442, which often scores five or six goals in the qualifiers, looks beautiful, but in fact, it is a tactical way to deal with underdogs.

Domenech himself knew that if he used that 442 set to play in the European Cup, they would die even worse.

That is to continue 4231, and it must be offensive 4231.

By extending this line of thought, many problems will be easily solved.

"If the wing attack is not good, Evra will start and replace Abidal."

"The two defensive midfielders in the midfield cannot move. This is a guarantee for defense. This further clarifies the 4231 tactic, and there is currently only one person suitable for the tenth position, Ribery!"

"Nasri is not qualified yet, nor is he qualified enough to entrust him with important responsibilities."

"All that's left is the right wing, either Anelka or Govou."

"Judging from the first game, Henry should be back on the front line."

After Yang Hao's speculation, the French team's entire starting lineup is actually about the same.

And at that moment, a thought flashed through Yang Hao's mind.

Will Domenech arrange for Real Madrid's Lars Diarra to play the No. 10 position in a prank?

But even he himself found this idea funny.

"Let Marcos Senna play in the next game." Yang Hao warned.

Whether it's Franck Ribery or Nasri, Marcos Senna will be more confident if he goes up.

Yang Hao knows Senna's defensive ability very well, and he believes that Senna can freeze Ribery or others.

"Then we will arrange a training session to practice set-piece offense. This has always been a weak link of the French team. We have Ramos, Puyol and Pepe, and we can definitely play a dozen."

Paralles recorded what Yang Hao said on the side, and then compiled it into meeting minutes and sent them directly to the group.

"What's worrying now is the French team. We can first see what the opponents think."

After defeating Italy in the first game, Yang Hao now has the initiative. What is he afraid of?

……

On the evening of June 6, the new Tivoli Stadium in Innsbruck.

In the second round of the European Cup group stage, Spain faced France.

The game officially kicked off with a whistle from German referee Herbert Vandel.

Henry quickly kicked the ball to Ribery, who passed it back to Tulalan, then distributed it to the left and handed it to Evra.

The French team tried to attack from the beginning.

Evra was very active. Facing the challenge of his former teammate Villa, he moved inside near the midline, dribbled the ball into the Spanish half, and sent a direct pass to the left rib area.

The ball was given to Henry in the frontcourt, with his back to the direction of attack. The French forward leaned on Pepe. As soon as he stopped the ball, before turning around, Pepe took a direct kick and intercepted the ball.

The ball fell to Spain.

Yang Hao stood on the sidelines and clearly saw that the French team wearing blue jerseys quickly pressed forward and actively engaged in pressing and pressing in the frontcourt. This clearly showed the attitude of the French team.

They just want to use the opening to create some advantages.

They must win this game!

If they can't win this battle, they will pack up and go home when the group stage is over!

Compared to the aggressive start of the French team, Spain played more cautiously.

In other words, it can be played more steadily.

Yang Hao stood on the sidelines without saying a word, but he was still very happy in his heart.

France's starting lineup did not surprise him.

Goalkeeper: Kupe;

Defense: Sagnol, Thuram, Gallas and Evra;

Midfield: Tulalang and Makelele serve as double defensive midfielders, with Malouda, Ribery and Anelka in front;

Forward: Henry.

In the locker room just now, when he got the French team's starting lineup, Yang Hao told all the players that there were several key points in this game, one of which was to block Henry.

Henry is not terrible as a center forward.

Puyol and Pepe must be careful not to let Henry play behind Spain.

The other one is to freeze Ribery, which depends on Marcos Senna.

Evra's insertion from the left is also crucial, so Villa's task is to suppress Evra.

Spain's starting lineup for this game has also been adjusted.

Goalkeeper: Casillas;

Defense: Capdevila, Puyol, Pepe and Ramos;

Midfield: Marcos Senna plays deep, Iniesta partners with Xavi;

Forwards: David Silva, Torres and Villa.

Spain's first offensive attempt occurred in the 17th second.

That is, after Pepe stole Henry, after continuous passes, Torres kicked the ball to the right.

Villa wanted to move forward quickly to attack the space left behind after Evra pressed forward, but Gallas took the lead and intercepted the ball.

If the ball had been passed, Spain's counterattack would have been effective.

Although it failed, Yang Hao still applauded the players on the sidelines.

Villa "complained" to Torres, indicating that he should pass the ball higher.

Galas is so short, if he is taller, he can catch it himself.

Torres shook his head speechlessly, as if to say: Are you embarrassed to dislike someone for being short?

……

"As expected, Yang Hao is still tempting us to take the initiative."

French assistant coach Pierre Mankovsky shook his head helplessly.

Whether it is the European Cup or the World Cup, the biggest challenge is not to make mistakes.

Once a mistake is made and the opportunity is immediately missed, many things will become very passive.

"He has been trained in La Liga and the Champions League. Whether it is targeted tactics before the game or on-the-spot command, he is the best in the world." Domenech was also helpless.

The opponent is indeed stronger than him.

Many people say that Yang Hao is very good at attacking.

Just attack?

The reason behind the attack is that Yang Hao's targeted tactics are effective and can always hit the opponent's weakness.

Just like in this game, Spain did not actively press, but let the French team press out on their own.

They want the advantage in passing and possession, but France can't take it away.

Stealing their passing and controlling the ball, then the French team will increase its own ball control. With France's midfield configuration, once Spain suddenly attacks, they can steal the ball and form a counterattack every minute. How can the back line hold on?

After the French team started the game, it gradually slowed down, but it still deployed defenses near the midline.

Once Spain wants to try to cross the midline, they will actively attack and even foul.

Domenech has nothing to do about this situation. Who makes the French team's passing and ball control inferior to Spain?

"Yang Hao is obviously still wary of our right wing, so he arranged for Capdevila instead of Antonio Lopez, but in this way, their left wing may be somewhat affected." Mankovsky analyzed .

In this kind of European Cup, which is played every two or three days, every team needs to find a balance between rotation and overall competitiveness. Yang Hao also rotated several players tonight, obviously for this purpose.

Capdevila's offensive intensity, especially the offensive attack from behind, is not as good as Antonio Lopez. The latter is a bit like Evra, he really uses himself as a winger.

In contrast, although Capdevila also actively pushed forward, it was more like a normal full-back pushing in.

But soon, Domenech saw David Silva moving back from the ribs.

Because Iniesta is also retreating to receive the ball from the backcourt.

……

When Iniesta retreated into his own half to receive Puyol's pass, he turned around and continued to lead forward, while constantly observing his teammates around him.

Capdevila has gone up.

But instead of looking for his teammate on the left, Iniesta suddenly passed the ball forward.

When David Silva retreated to catch the ball, Sagnol did not dare to follow too closely. Instead, Anelka gave up Capdevila and pounced on David Silva.

After the Spaniard stopped the ball, he dunked it again, barely avoiding the first attempt of Anelka to grab the ball. He then distributed it to the left wing, turned around and ran forward quickly.

When Capdevila got the ball on the left wing, Sagnol had to press forward, and David Silva quickly moved forward and got behind Sagnol.

The Spanish left back tipped the ball with understanding, directly past Sagnol and towards the outside of the left corner of the penalty area.

Thuram rushed out of the penalty area immediately, and David Silva rushed towards the football at the same time.

The two shot at the same time, but neither could control the ball.

On the left side of the penalty area, Torres blocked Gallas with his body, stopped the ball in front of him with his chest in time, turned around to protect the ball, turned his back to the direction of the attack, and immediately kicked the ball out.

Villa stopped the ball at the top of the arc and then entered the penalty area. He quickly rushed into the penalty area. Evra chased him desperately, but Villa rushed to the penalty spot and shot low.

The French left back's tackle was a little slow.

The ball went into the lower right foot of the goal at great speed.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Bilia!"

"David Villa!"

"Only 2 minutes and 34 seconds into the game, David Villa opened the scoring for Spain after receiving an assist from Torres!"

"This is Spain's first shot of the game. It was very accurate and scored directly!"

"I have to say that Spain's offense is really sharp!"

"Especially this offensive coordination in the frontcourt."

"Whether it was Capdevila's pass, Torres' position in the penalty area, or Villa's just-right movement, I have to say that their players cooperated really well."

"It is worth mentioning that these players are all from Atletico Madrid, and they were all single-handedly promoted by Yang Hao."

"And the tacit understanding they have formed at the club has allowed them to show off in the national team."

"The French team suffered a heavy defeat right from the start and fell behind 0-1!"

"Domenech needs to think carefully now."

……

When Spain scored, the game completely changed.

This also means that the French team must score at least 2 goals in this game to ensure qualifying for the group stage.

It can be said that this is very, very huge pressure.     It is not only a technical and tactical level, but also a mental level of pressure.

The reaction on the court was that the players' emotions began to get a little out of control.

For example, Makelele made a quick counterattack in Spain in the 6th minute. When he came to defend Villa, he hit Villa in the face with a superfluous movement, and Villa fell to the ground.

Although, afterward, it seemed that Villa was fine, but he was beaten, wouldn't he be stupid if he didn't fall to the ground?

The referee gave Makelele a yellow card warning.

Later, Tulalang also received a yellow card.

In about 10 minutes, there were consecutive yellow cards, which showed the French team's anxiety.

Anxiety makes people less calm and prone to errors in judgment.

Reflected on the court, that is giving Spanish players too much space to pass and control the ball.

And it is easy to have the problem of attacking too high.

In the 21st minute, Torres retreated to the midfield to receive the pass. After blocking Gallas with his body, he used a heel to pass the ball behind him.

Villa stepped in at high speed and dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area.

Evra chased him all the way and did not give Villa a chance to hit the goal.

But Huluwa still seized the opportunity and passed the cross to the back point. David Silva rushed over and shot in front of the goal, breaking Kupe's goal again, 2-0!

The entire new Tivoli Stadium erupted instantly!

"The French team really gave Spain too much freedom with the ball. They have to keep an eye on Spain!"

"If Spain is allowed to pass and control the ball like this, no matter how solid the defense is, it will not be able to withstand it."

But it's obvious that the French team's players have begun to lose confidence.

They completely lost their rhythm and confidence.

This is something no one can imagine.

Even this is not due to Spain tonight. The initiator was the passive situation they had in the game against Portugal 4 days ago.

Now, they are just bearing the consequences!

Near the end of the first half, when two small players, David Silva and Iniesta, hit the wall continuously outside the left corner of the French team's penalty area and tried to break into the penalty area, they were blocked by Sanio. I committed a foul.

The referee again gave a yellow card and gave Spain a free kick on the left side of the penalty area.

Xavi came up to take the penalty. Ramos, Puyol and Pepe were all there, but Marcos Senna and Capdevila were behind, guarding against the French team's counterattack.

After the Barcelona midfielder took a deep breath, he quickly took a run and fired a curve ball, which accurately landed at the back point.

I saw Ramos leaping high, shaking his head to beat Galas and hitting the goal.

"The ball goes in again!!!"

"Spain scores again!"

"3 to 0!"

"From Sergio Ramos!"

"Spain's third goal of the game!"

"The first half is not over yet, Spain has already scored 3 goals!"

"We can't imagine what the final result of this game will be, but we have absolutely reason to believe that we are seeing the birth of a great team!"

"Spain won 12 consecutive victories in the qualifiers. In the European Cup, they first beat Italy 5-0, and now they defeated France 3-0 in the first half."

"I have to admit that Yang Hao does have his own uniqueness in coaching the team, especially on the offensive end."

"We can see that Spain made a lot of rotations in both games, but the team's offense was very vigorous and smooth, which left a very deep impression on us."

"Now the problem is left to France."

"After losing to Portugal 0-2 in the first game of the group stage, and now we are falling behind Spain 0-3 at halftime, how will we play in the next games?"

"This is indeed a problem, a serious problem."

……

To everyone's surprise, the French team did not make any substitutions during the halftime break.

This is indeed very surprising.

Logically speaking, if you concede three goals in a row, you should at least show determination to fight back.

But France didn't.

Even on the pitch, they were a little too negative.

It is almost impossible for the French team to come back from behind.

Spain is actually very happy with this.

Therefore, they did not pursue the victory, but patiently passed and controlled the ball, constantly playing hide and seek with the French team.

Yang Hao's strategy is to save energy for the third round of the group stage.

Because this game will determine who is first in the group.

According to the rules, the first place in the group will meet the second place in the group, so the difficulty of promotion will be relatively easy.

Although there were many threats throughout the second half, the French team had obviously lost its fighting spirit.

The most threatening thing about Spain was in the 73rd minute. Before Torres came off the field, Xavi's long pass was passed behind him. He succeeded in countering offside, drove straight into the French penalty area, and shot a shot in the French penalty area, which was missed by Kupe. He dialed it and hit the crossbar, but failed to score.

Subsequently, Yang Hao replaced Torres with Llorente.

Spain also used the French team to practice the high center's style of play in the last 20 minutes.

After all, Torres is not a serious high center.

Although he did not score a goal in this game, his performance was remarkable, especially his contribution to the entire Spanish offense.

In the end, Spain defeated France 3-3 with three goals in the first half and won two consecutive European Cup victories!

In another subsequent duel, Portugal drew 1-1 against Italy.

As a result, after two rounds of group matches, Spain leads the way with two consecutive victories.

Portugal has one win and one draw, ranking second.

Italy has one draw and one loss, ranking third.

The French team has lost two games in a row and is at the bottom of the table.

When the results came out, no one expected that the match in the group of death would turn out like this.

In particular, the French team, the World Cup runner-up two years ago, seemed to have been drained of its soul after losing Zidane. It ended up at the bottom of the group stage in terms of points. This has to be said to be very surprising.

Spain's performance left an extremely deep impression on people, especially the offensive storm in the first two rounds, which won Spain unanimous praise from countless media and fans.

Before the European Cup, everyone felt that Spain was in a bad situation, not only because they were drawn in the group of death, but also because of conflicting styles of play and Portugal, which also has a Latin American style.

This is also very common in La Liga.

For example, the Latin American-style Villarreal has always been a nightmare for Barcelona and has also brought a lot of trouble to Atletico Madrid.

But who would have thought that Italy and France would collapse before the much-anticipated showdown in the Iberian Peninsula occurred.

In the final round of the group stage, France faced Italy and Spain faced Portugal.

Among them, the duel between the two teams will not only determine the first place in the group stage, but also determine who can qualify.

If Portugal loses to Spain and Italy defeats France, Italy can reverse Portugal and advance as long as the goal difference is sufficient.

This also added a lot of suspense to the final round of the group stage.

……

On the evening of June 6, Salzburg, Austria.

In the third round of the European Cup group stage, Spain faced Portugal.

The first two rounds of the group stage were played in Innsbruck, but this time it was moved to the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg.

Since Spain got the right to qualify early, the purpose was just to compete for the first place in the group, so Yang Hao made a strong rotation, including Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Pepe and Ramos. , all rotated.

This is really not Yang Hao's carelessness, but his strategy.

The purpose of fighting through the first two rounds of group matches is to rotate in the third round and accumulate strength for the next European Cup knockout rounds.

Of course, being first in the group is good, but being second in the group is also okay.

From the current point of view, Spain's Group D will face Group C.

Group C is currently between the Netherlands and Russia competing for first place in the group.

Therefore, Yang Hao was not too obsessed with whether he should be first or second in the group, because his opponents were all very difficult.

It's better to take this opportunity to give the main players a rest.

In this intensive schedule of games, how difficult is it for the main players to get valuable rest time?

On the contrary, Portugal is determined to win and appears aggressive.

This resulted in a fierce fight between the two sides in the first half.

Although Spain is playing with a substitute lineup, it is also full of stars, and the overall tactical play is still based on passing and controlling.

Portugal obviously did not expect that Spain would rotate so thoroughly, which resulted in both sides not playing very well in the first half. It was not until the end of the first half that Ronaldo assisted Nuno Gomez and scored for Portugal. One ball.

This was also the only goal scored by both sides in the first half.

After that, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Until the 76th minute of the second half, Torres, who had just come on the field, received a direct pass from teammate Cesc Fabregas, stopped the ball and broke into the penalty area, and hit the goal on the right side of the penalty spot.

The entire technical movement was perfectly connected. Torres calmly broke through the goal guarded by Ricardo and equalized the score for Spain!

Torres probably didn't expect that he would get such an excellent opportunity as soon as he came on the field, before his body was even warm.

Then the two sides continued to compete back and forth.

Scolari is actually very afraid of Spain's passing and quick counterattacks.

In this case, a draw is a situation acceptable to both sides.

Spain scored 2 points with 1 wins and 7 draw, ranking first in the group and qualifying.

Portugal has 1 win and 2 draws, qualifying second in the group with 5 points.

In this way, even if Italy defeats the French team, it will only have 4 points and will still be eliminated.

Scolari is obviously aware of the calculation here.

Therefore, he took the lead in making substitutions to save energy for the knockout rounds.

Yang Hao's last two substitutions were also to adjust the players' condition and give substitute players a chance.

In the end, the two sides shook hands and settled for a draw 1-1.

When everyone was looking forward to an Iberian Peninsula derby between Spain and Portugal, the two teams staged brotherly harmony and joined hands to qualify.

Yang Hao could imagine that Donadoni was about to curse.

What’s the point of working so hard in France?

As for Domenech, he has lost three games in a row, what else can he say?

Moreover, before the third round of the group stage, the French team had already begun to fight among themselves.

This is already an old traditional performance of the French team.

Ribery accused Domenech of being too conservative in his tactics, obviously not satisfied with his first European Cup.

This is something no one expected.

In the group of death, Spain was able to qualify with an unbeaten record, which is indeed impressive.

All attention is focused on the first two games, because everyone can see that in the last round of the group stage, Spain has reserved its strength to prepare for the knockout rounds.

Torres leads the European Cup's scorer list with 4 goals.

……

When Spain qualified first in the group, it aroused cheers throughout Spain.

Countless media and fans are rushing to praise Yang Hao and his new Spanish national team.

Beat Italy 5-0 and beat France 3-0.

In the past many years, when has Spain ever been so majestic when facing these two top teams in the world?

In particular, the strong dominance shown by Spain in the European Cup group stage has been praised by countless Spanish fans.

Even in the 1-1 tie with Portugal in the last round, Spain took the initiative in the game.

After playing in the group stage, Spain will next face Russia led by Hiddink.

Marca was the first to publish an article with the title, "We owe Yang Hao a sincere apology!"

In this article, Marca believes that although Spain's European Cup journey has just broken through the group stage, the football presented by this team is undoubtedly dreamy.

"Yang Hao's Spain has given us a completely new look. Whether it's the football the players present on the court or the mental outlook of the players, it gives people a completely different feeling from Spain in the past."

"He made a lot of big innovations in the Spanish national team."

Marca believes that in 06, when Yang Hao first took over Spain, many people questioned and even rejected him. Especially when he decided not to recruit Raul, it aroused strong opposition from countless Spanish fans. attack.

"During that period, Yang Hao almost became a public enemy of Spain."

"But he still insists on doing what he thinks is right!"

Marca believes that Yang Hao gave up on Raul not because of the grudge between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, but more from a technical and tactical perspective.

"Look at the current Spanish team. If Raul wants to play, who can he replace?"

"Can he withstand the offensive pressure from the front like Torres?"

"Or can you provide offense, breakthroughs and passes from the wings and midfield like Villa and Reyes?"

"Or can he, like Iniesta, David Silva and others, ensure the team's passing and ball control?"

Marca revealed that Yang Hao and Raul have a very good personal relationship, but due to national team matters, the two have not had any contact for two years.

"But Yang Hao and the team reporter of Marca revealed that before the European Cup, when the national team set off for Austria, Raul sent Yang Hao a text message for the first time, wishing Yang Hao and his national team good success in the European Cup. Achieve great results.”

"Two years have passed and Raul has given up. Like other Spanish fans, he sits at home, cheering for the national team and cheering for the national team's outstanding performance."

"What about us?"

"All of us who watched Spain shine in the European Cup and cheered for the wonderful performance of the national team, have we ever apologized for our behavior back then? Those who accused and abused Yang Hao, have they ever thought about being sincere? Apologize?"

Marca believes that all those who scolded Yang Hao back then owe Yang Hao an apology.

"He not only trained many international players for Spain, but also led Spain to shine in the European Cup."

"We have absolutely reason to believe that Yang Hao and his Spain can go further in the European Cup, and even go all the way to the end!"

"This is not only our expectation, but also the goal of Yang Hao and the Spanish national team players!"

……

After playing in the group stage, Yang Hao and Spain continued to rest in Innsbruck for two days.

It mainly analyzes and summarizes the European Cup group stage, and also looks forward to the next European Cup knockout rounds.

Especially for Russia.

Arshavin shined in this European Cup and his performance was very eye-catching. He almost led Russia out of the siege alone and was known as the Russian Czar.

It can be said that the group stage has just ended, and Arshavin has already attracted the attention of major European clubs.

Some even say that he is comparable to Atletico Madrid's Messi.

Of course, Yang Hao sneered at this.

But this does not prevent him from attaching great importance to Arshavin.

In this European Cup, Arshavin's performance really left a deep impression on people. If you want to defeat Russia, you must freeze Arshavin.

So in this game, Marcos Senna will still start.

Xabi Alonso has strong organizational skills, but his defense is not good enough.

Yang Hao needs to use Marcos Senna to limit Arshavin.

This is also Yang Hao's strategy for coaching the Spanish national team. From a tactical level, all players must obey the interests of the team.

When encountering a team like Italy without an attacking midfielder, Yang Hao chose Xavi Alonso.

When encountering players like Ribery and Arshavin, Xabi Alonso's defense was obviously not enough, so Yang Hao used Marcos Senna.

The players of the Spanish national team also see this. Therefore, despite the fact that there are many Atletico Madrid players in the team, in fact, the players have a standard in their minds about who should be used and who should not be used. Very convinced.

It may not be fair to select people on a purely tactical level, but it is open enough to let everyone know Yang Hao's selection criteria.

Therefore, the relationship in the Spanish locker room is still very good now.

After two days of rest in Innsbruck, the team set off for the capital, Vienna.
