Godfather Of Champions

Both Hierro and the Spanish coaching staff had guessed that Dunn would use rude fouls against a technically streamlined team like Spain, but they did not expect that what appeared to them was such a completely strange England...

Don't talk about them, even England fans and commentators have to rub their eyes. It is still impossible to confirm that the eleven players in white jerseys and dark blue shorts in front of them represent England.

When the Spanish team was preparing to kick-off, the English players stood in their own half, and the formation was obviously 352. This surprised many people familiar with England, because the England in memory rarely used their traditional 442 formation. If they have wide knowledge and good memory, they will remember that Venables made similar adjustments at the European Championships in England 20 years ago. England vs. Scotland and Gascoigne entered the classic. One ball game.

But other than that, there are no other battles to remember.

This change made the Spaniards completely unexpected-who would have nothing to study the case of the 20 years ago... Their pre-match preparations were aimed at 442 England. That England had four defenders, four defenders and There is a big difference between the three guards. And there is absolutely no "front midfielder" in that England... Now, Gerrard is standing at the front midfielder.

The Spanish players on the field were surprised. Ingra's change made them a little bit at a loss... If they continue to follow the pre-match deployment, they will leave a lot of space for England. But if you want to change, how can you change it?

How to do?

The Spanish players looked at each other and found the same question in each other's eyes.

Hierro knew that this was not the time to hesitate, although it was still unclear what Tony Dunn wanted to do, the precautionary work had to be done first. He walked to the sidelines and shouted to his men: "Be careful of their Gerrard! Gerrard!"

Hierro's idea is very simple, since Gerrard appeared in the front midfielder, then England's offense must be organized by him. He also did a similar job in Liverpool, which is not unfamiliar to Gerrard.

Since the head coach has asked to watch Gerrard, Ignacio Camacho (Ignacio_Camacho), the only defensive midfielder in the team, is naturally responsible.

Dunn saw this change in the Spanish team off the court, and he laughed.

This is exactly what he wants to see.

Gerrard did try several times to organize the offense, but under Camacho's close guard, there was no threatening pass. This convinced both Camacho and Hierro that Gerrard is the core of the England team.

In the first fifteen minutes of the game, George Wood defended wholeheartedly and led his teammates to block Spain's offense. He mainly targeted Fabregas. In the opening fifteen minutes, he has been fouled twice, but fortunately he has not received a yellow card. In fact, Dunn doesn't want him to foul so often, because George Wood has a yellow card on his back. If he gets another yellow card in this game, even if England can eliminate Spain, Wood will also miss the final. This is definitely something Dunn doesn't want to see. He hopes his team can make it to the finals and also hopes George Wood will not be absent.

In this game, Spain ranked a single striker lineup, Bo Yang alone topped the front, and Torres was injured, in order to ensure that he can participate in the finals, the Spanish coaching staff decided to let him sit on the bench. Behind Boyan is Iniesta, and then Fabregas and Camacho are behind, Lago is on the left of the two wings, and David Silva is on the right. The left back is Abeloa, the right back is Sergio Ramos, and the two center backs are Pique and Raúl Albiol. The goalkeeper is Asenjo.

Except for a Torres who was injured and unable to play, this is currently the strongest team in Spain.

Hierro worked **** Spain's dual-core tactics and finally achieved results in this competition. Both Fabregas and Iniesta can organize offenses, but there are differences between the two. Iniesta dribbles well, short passes and crosses are very sharp, the closer he gets to the penalty area, the greater his threat. Fabregas passed the ball well, was good at controlling the rhythm, and was responsible for the overall scheduling later.

In this way, even if one of them is frozen by the opponent's mark, the Spanish offense will not be affected too much.

This is the current situation. After Fabregas was frozen by Wood's close defense, the banner of organizing the offense was immediately transferred to Iniesta's hands.

In this game, Dunn did not insist on the "area defense" tactics he used before, but switched to "man-to-man". Wood stared at Fabregas, and Michael Johnson's target was Iniesta. This allocation is also made after fully considering the characteristics of both players. Fabregas and George Wood have been opponents in the Premier League for a long time and are very familiar with each other. No one is more suitable to defend the Gunners captain than him. Iniesta is a little older, has poor physical fitness, and is prone to injury. It is more appropriate for Johnson to be a younger and better endurance.

As for the two wingers... From the start of the game to the present, Rooney and Abangraho are more like two full-backs than full-backs. At the same time, three strong central defenders were hoarded in the penalty area, making it difficult for Spain to penetrate short passes.

After withstanding the Spanish offensive in the first fifteen minutes, England began to prepare a counterattack.

After Michael Johnson and John Terry joined forces to break Iniesta’s pass, Terry did not hand the football to Gerrard, who was backing up. Instead, he passed it to Gerrard who had already rushed forward. George Wood's "back midfielder".

Gerrard and Wood "double ethics" such a dislocation, football has not changed hands, still at Wood's feet. Gerrard also turned and ran forward after seeing Wood receiving the ball. At the same time, Rooney and Abang Raho have all changed from "full back" to "wing forward" in rapid advance!

Camacho was hesitating whether it was George Wood who was going to pounce on the ball or his original target, Gerrard, and he quickly made the choice-to put the ball holder first.

But when he pounced on Wood, Wood, who was running, passed the football to Gerrard, who was advancing with him. After completing the pass, Wood slowed down, and Gerrard overtook it and passed the football to Rooney, who cut from the wing.

Spain's defenders are all staring at the suddenly active Mitchell and Vaughan, so that Rooney and Abangraho, who are inserted later, have a large space for free movement in front of them.

After receiving the football, Rooney cut in and didn't hesitate to take a long shot from outside the penalty area! Let him, who is good at right foot, hit the left side. That's what Dunn meant-an inside shot!

Rooney's powerful long shot was finally saved by Asenho and England got a corner kick.

England’s corner kick was not taken directly, but a tactic. Gerrard passed the football to Johnson, who came up to meet him, and Johnson passed it to George Wood who was waiting in the middle. After receiving the ball, Wood adjusted a bit and started a long shot from about 30 meters from the goal. This time the ball went directly above the crossbar and flew into the stands behind the goal.

"England has no way to go deep into our penalty zone, and can only rely on long-range shots to threaten the gate guarded by Asenjo! It's a pity that it's almost accurate!" The Spanish commentator optimistically said that their defense is safe.

Many Spanish fans also hold this view. Judging from the scene, it is obvious that Spain has the advantage, the ball possession rate is far ahead of England, and the play is better than England.

They believe that if this continues to play, goals will be a matter of time for the Spanish team, and victory is not a problem at all.

Some English fans who don't know the truth are worried. The England team in front of them is too unfamiliar. Of course, they know that this is Dunn’s strategy to deal with Spain. However, this England team has never played 352. I am afraid that the opponent will not be surprised by the temporary change. At a loss...

Will this happen?

※※※

Spain made a comeback and launched another attack. This time it was Iniesta who took the ball to organize. Obviously Spanish teammates passed the ball to him.

When Michael Johnson was defending Iniesta, he won the "truth" of those old fritters... Not first, but first, grabbing Iniesta's shoulders, then stepping up and pushing his body. At the other side, not allowing Iniesta to turn around easily. Then I kept kicking forward with my foot, kicking the football and stealing the ball successfully, kicking the ankle made Iniesta suffer a bit, knowing how good the Englishman is, let him catch the ball next time The ankle should be aching.

But this time Johnson miscalculated. He stretched out his foot to steal the ball, but Iniesta took advantage of it and turned around to dial the ball and avoid it. When Iniesta, who quickly dodged Johnson in a small area, was about to loose the ball into the penalty area, England's defense line suddenly had an overall premise and no one was in command, but they obviously had a good heart, and the three central defenders moved forward neatly. A step is taken, and this is the step that makes Bo Yang offside at the top.

Iniesta passed the ball and the whistle sounded.

The people on the English coach bench below have wiped their sweat-too dangerous. This was not what they had arranged in advance, it was entirely the judgment made by the three guards at that moment. Fortunately, their thoughts are highly unified at this moment. Otherwise, if one person takes a step slower, Bo Yang will single-handedly face the goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Although escaped, Terry criticized Johnson, telling him not to pounce too hard in the first defensive action, and to leave some room for his follow-up actions.

Johnson nodded humbly to accept the experience of the older generation.

Terry saw the immaturity of Johnson's defense, but Wood saw something else-Spain will see from this offense that Johnson is a weakness in the double midfielder, and they will definitely use this to Inies Tower as the main attack direction. The best solution is definitely not to lay down heavy soldiers in the backcourt and wait for the opponent to attack, but...to attack and find a chance to score!

It's time to tear down the disguise.

The England team's free kick from the backcourt did not go directly to the frontcourt, but was passed to Wood who had retraced.

Since Wood is a defensive midfielder, there is no match-up against him in Spain. Even Fabregas can only pay a little attention and can't really run up. Who makes Fabregas a defensive midfielder? What should I do if the two people are more than ten meters apart and run up to the empty space behind them?

In fact, Dunn's change is precisely because it takes into account that Spain is difficult to defend Wood immediately. Otherwise, why didn't he make Wood's position a bit more precondition? From a midfielder to a central midfielder, isn't it closer to the Spanish penalty zone, isn't it more threatening?

Let Wood play the midfielder responsible for organizing the offense, considering that he has a good overall view and vision, as well as an excellent long pass, unobtrusive, no interference, and he is suitable as an organizer.

Seeing no one came up to grab his own ball, Wood calmly passed the football to Abang Raho on the wing, and then he went forward by himself, ready to catch it. Abang Raho's breakthrough encountered difficulties and he quickly passed the football to Wood, who came up to meet him. Only then did Fabregas have the opportunity to come up and play one-on-one with Wood. Unfortunately, Fabregas is not good at defending. Wood squeezed him behind with his body, and then ran on the left, but suddenly he slanted while running. Pass through. This time Rooney received the ball again.

Just like the last time, because Mitchell and Vaughan made the intention of receiving the pass, the Spanish defenders were pressed into the penalty area and dare not act rashly. Rooney is currently unmarked.

Dunn’s task for Rooney in this game is to score goals and pass assists to second place. Now that there is no one to mark, Rooney, as a forward, naturally chose to come by himself...

With a false shot, he deceived the full-back Sergio Ramos who charged up, and then Rooney pulled the football and rushed into the penalty area from Ramos...

Rooney, who rushed into the penalty area, did not hesitate to shoot with his right foot.

The football flew straight to the far corner of the goal. Asenho reacted quickly and fell to his right. He stretched out his hand and pulled the football out!

"Nice save!!" the Spanish commentator shouted. Such a save made the Spaniard's blood boil. "It's almost comparable to Banksy's save!"

The Spanish fans were just about to start cheering, and someone came to stir their good show...

"Aaron Mitchell!" John Mortensen exclaimed.

Pikwe stubbornly pulled the tall center forward of Nottingham Forest. He was a little slower in the start, and now he can only use his body to suppress his opponent. Mitchell is bound to win the ball, how can Pique be able to suppress it? Mitchell swept the football while losing his balance. This time it seemed that he would definitely score!

but!

With a "clang", the football hit the goal post and bounced back...

The Spaniard's heart almost stopped beating at this moment, and just when they thought they had escaped the disaster again and were ready to breathe a sigh of relief, their heart was lifted up again.

James Vaughan, who was ignored in the series of offensive shots just now, appeared in front of the ball's landing point. He raised his foot and prepared to volley directly!

Albiol flew over, intending to block the opponent's shot with his body.

The football falls, Vaughan stretches his leg...

The football ran between Albiol's legs!

Asenjo had already gotten up from the ground, his reaction was considered very fast, but the direction Vaughan shot out was completely opposite to the direction he got up...

This time he could only watch the football stick to the turf, cross Albiol's legs, and then dive into the net...

"The ball has been scored! The ball has been scored! With three consecutive shots, the ball has finally been scored!"

The English fans leaped up from their seats with their hands up and their team was ahead in the opening 27 minutes!

Dunn’s changes have been effective, and Spain feels uncomfortable with such an England. Their city gates were exposed to the heavy artillery of England, and in the continuous bombing, they finally fell.

At this moment, some pessimistic Spaniards seem to see that the scene five hundred years ago is slowly unfolding. Spain's invincible fleet was crumbling under the shelling of the Royal Navy.
