Chapter 762 Anxiety

The game has fallen into a bitter struggle.

This is a situation that the Spanish team did not expect in advance.In fact, in the past, including in the few games that have been played in this World Cup, the Spanish team has encountered this kind of stubborn resistance and desperate opponents. After all, the strength of the Spanish team is recognized by the world football, not number one. The second is that teams that are not as strong as them naturally focus on defensive counterattacks.

But like Paraguay, they almost completely covered the 35-meter area of ​​​​the penalty area with the number of people. They really haven't met each other. What's more frustrating is that the opponent's defense is so fierce and rude, and often the foot movements are not enough. If you are fast, you may be knocked to the ground in the next moment.

Before the start of the game, because of Martino's "provocation", the entire Spanish team was in a mood of common hatred, which made them extremely excited and active from the beginning of the game, wanting to score as soon as possible, and then Completely beat the opponent violently.

But as the game progressed, they were helpless to find that the progress of the game was not as they expected. Although they had the upper hand in terms of various statistics, Paraguay's defense was complete and tight , the scrambling moves were even more fierce, not only failed to teach their opponents a lesson, but they were repeatedly knocked down by their opponents.

It's more like Paraguay is "teaching" them!

The Spanish players played extremely depressed and angry on the field, but there was nothing they could do about it. The opponent's press was too fast and too hard, which forced them to continuously speed up the passing, and as a result, the turnover rate began to increase again. , which gave Paraguay more opportunities to counterattack, leading to constant trouble in front of their own goal.

It's like a vicious circle.It is also like a cover carefully arranged by Martino, leading the Spanish team to jump in by the nose.

Bosque could no longer sit comfortably on the coach's bench. He paced the sidelines repeatedly, waving and shouting constantly, instructing his team to put more pressure on the opponent's backcourt in attack.

The situation at this time is not favorable for the Spanish team, but it is not too dangerous. In his opinion, the main reason why his team is facing such a predicament is on the offensive end.If the front line can score goals, then Paraguay's tortoise shell will be self-defeating. In the case of falling behind, Paraguay can only pull out the way to attack, then it will give the Spanish team more opportunities to tear open the defense. Chance.

But the problem is that the team can't start the situation for a long time, so the progress of the game can't return to the most familiar rhythm of Spain. This is the most troublesome point.

"Attack! Attack!!"

"Andres, move closer to the middle, pass the ball faster!"

"Xavi, you have to press higher and help your teammates put more pressure on the opponent!"

Bosque's instruction is to let the team speed up the passing rhythm and create more pressure on Paraguay's defense, but the consequence of doing so is that Paraguay has more and more counterattack opportunities.

No. 307 minutes, after another successful steal, Paraguay launched an offensive with a long pass from the backcourt. Cardoso received a pass from his teammate and galloped quickly on the wing. The football was hoisted into the penalty area.High center Santa Cruz has long been serious. The Manchester City center suppressed Puyol with his height advantage. He jumped up and shook his head on the spot. The football changed direction and flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

"Paraguay's chance to fight back!"

"Cardoso's cross ... Santa Cruz in the middle! He pinned Puyol, took off, swung his head and hit the goal-"

"Ooooh, Kasikasikas...Igor...Iker Casillas...the Spanish captain made a world-class save and he saved the Spanish team! The matadors escaped! "

"Although Santa Cruz's shot did not score, the Spanish team must make a change! Paraguay's counterattack was fast and sharp, and this shot is the most severe wake-up call!"

In a critical moment, Casillas, praised by Spanish fans as "Saint Casillas", stepped forward. He moved quickly, then threw his body out, and hit the fast-forward football with his right hand. The football Was beaten out of the bottom line.

There were bursts of exclamations at the scene, as well as cheers and applause one after another.

The fans were amazed at Casillas' wonderful save, but after Casillas got up from the ground, he didn't have the slightest sense of joy of "saving the world". He waved his hands fiercely while rushing He yelled at the defenders in front of him: "What are you doing? Don't give that guy a chance to make a pass! Also, keep an eye on him, don't let him jump up! MD!"

Casillas, who had a calm temperament, uttered foul language, obviously feeling extremely upset.In the first half, his mood was undoubtedly extremely depressed. The team's offensive in the frontcourt failed to gain anything, but his defense zone was ravaged by the opponent's tall man with headers over and over again. He couldn't remember clearly. How many times has he made such an emergency rescue action?This time he was lucky and saved the ball, but who can guarantee that next time, next time, he will be able to save it successfully?

Puyol and Pique nodded apologetically to Casillas, and they were naturally suppressed by Santa Cruz at high altitude. Of course, it is not accurate to blame them all. Under the signal of head coach Bosque, the team aggressively pressed the offense, and the defense was naturally empty. Even the two full-backs pressed extremely forward, which gave Cardoso an opportunity to attack the ball wantonly.

"attack!"

"Suppress them firmly, don't give your opponent a chance to fight back!"

On the sidelines, the voice of Bosque waving and shouting came again.

Casillas' face was almost dark, he snorted coldly, muttered a few words in his mouth, and stopped talking.

Only Piqué and Puyol who were close could hear clearly, Casillas muttered: "Idiot!"

……

"idiot!"

Not only Casillas cursed in a low voice, but Fan Bizhuang also vented his dissatisfaction in a low voice.

After the game restarted, the Spanish team once again used a pass to open up a gap. Fan Bizhuang moved smartly and just caught the ball. Before he could make another move, he was pulled to the ground by the opponent's midfielder Barreto.

Spain's offensive rhythm was interrupted again.

Angrily, Fan Bizhuang patted the grass hard, and then got up from the ground. He stared at Barreto coldly, obviously trying to restrain the anger in his heart.

Fan Bizhuang is naturally very dissatisfied with the rudeness and fierceness of the Paraguayan defenders, but he often encounters this kind of treatment in the league, and he is accustomed to it. He has the same feeling of aggrievedness as in the previous game. His running is very active, and he tries hard to find opportunities in a wide range of positions, but the more he kicks, the more he gets worse—his partner Torres disappears again. Without traces, he alone shouldered the multiple tasks of running, pulling the side, and transitioning.

It's not that he can't do these jobs. When he was at the club, he was a versatile player in the frontcourt, but the problem is that in this game, he was already the opponent's key target. After getting rid of one and another, the defensive players are more important than others. A fierce and rude, he simply can't complete his own field goal work.

It doesn't matter if you swap roles with Torres, as long as it is good for the team and can score, these are not important, but Torres' state in this cup is really mediocre. The Super T9, who used to be fast in the league in the past, has completely disappeared. What he is good at is disappearing.

For Torres, who is not in good form, to become his partner, he really complains. Originally, Torres occupied a starting spot to cover for him. "character of.

If you can't start the situation offensively, you will naturally be passive defensively. This is the real reason why the team is playing in chaos.

Fan Bizhuang is very aware of this. In his opinion, the head coach should make adjustments at this time. The best way to break through the dense defense is a standing high center forward. Llorente is still on the bench off the court Sitting, this is an excellent typical center who can hold his position.

But the conservative Bosque just didn't make adjustments, and kept telling the team to press on the offense-the team listened to the instructions and continued to attack, but the gains were very little, and even more and more dangers appeared in the backcourt.

Fan Bizhuang's "idiot" was a way to vent his dissatisfaction.

But no matter what, the head coach is the helm of the team. Even if Fan Bizhuang has his own opinions, he can only hold back.

The game continued, and the situation was still stalemate. Paraguay used the iron-walled defense to block the waves of the Spanish team's offensive, and launched sharp counterattacks from time to time.

And No. 403 minutes, after Fan Bizhuang was brought down again when he broke through the frontcourt, he finally couldn't suppress the anger in his body. Santana's troubles-such irrational behavior is not only anger at the fouler, but also dissatisfaction with the coach's practice of not thinking about changing.What's more, it was a concentrated explosion against the first half of the game.

Fortunately, Alonso was by Fan Bizhuang's side, and immediately discovered that Fan Bizhuang's mood was not right, and dragged him away abruptly, thus avoiding worse consequences.

Even so, Fan Bizhuang also received a yellow card from the referee Bartres.

This is Fan Bizhuang's second yellow card in this World Cup. According to the rules, players who accumulate two yellow cards in the group stage and the quarter-final stage will be automatically suspended for one game.It is also Fan Bizhuang's luck that this game is the quarter-finals, and all previous yellow cards will be cleared. Otherwise, even if the Spanish team can beat the opponent to advance to the semi-finals in this game, then in the next game, he will only Can sit high in the auditorium.
