Chapter 196 The birth of the European Cup quarter-finals! (Daily transition)
Post-match press conference.
The spotlight kept flashing.
Bosque led Li Kang to the scene.
The reporters were very excited: This is the talented midfielder from Bei Lai Yin Bilia, attending the press conference as a player representative for the first time.
"Marquis Vincent, I am a reporter from Marca. Do the current results mean that Spain's technical and tactical reforms in the "post-Xavi era" have been successful?"
"Mr. Del Bosque, I am a reporter from Le Figaro. Did Spain deliberately let Li Kang reduce his defensive tasks and reduce physical confrontation and aggression? His performance in the past few games was more like a classical midfielder.
.”
The Spanish coach smiled, put his fingers together on the table, and said seriously:
"Harvey's historical status and great contribution cannot be denied."
"The times are progressing. The Dutch and Chileans two years ago woke us up. Sticking to passing and controlling will only lead to death."
"Spain has 23 excellent players, and we can choose different tactics according to different opponents."
"Any system is just a way to victory."
"It sounds incredible, but after the team has Lee, you will find that everything is true."
"Classic attacking midfielder? Li is still very young, and the intensity of the game has not really stimulated his potential. Maybe you will see a different version of him next time against the German team."
The scene immediately burst into thunderous applause.
Media reporters can't help but begin to look forward to: the peak showdown between the two World Cup champions.
Li Kang looked at the dazzling array of endorsement products on the table and suddenly fell into thinking: In the game against Italy, the Serie A legendary module appeared very rarely... Even Nesta Phantom was in an extremely furious state.
Could it be that in major international events, the frequency of appearances of legends will be affected by the opponent's country?
Understandable.
The role of football in a certain period of history was to replace war.
I shouldn’t have a few German legendary modules on me, right?
have.
Cross "Precision Guidance".
....
History is always surprisingly similar.
Nice, Riviera Stadium.
The Icelanders recreated the "Cod War".
They used grenades to kill the Dutch team in the qualifiers, and also sent England away in this 1/8 knockout round.
Breaking into the quarterfinals of the European Cup for the first time in history.
Viking war cries echoed through the sky.
Rooney blushed and kicked the mineral water bottle away angrily.
He scored the opening penalty, but was unable to help the team win the game.
The strongest Three Lions team in the past ten years.
Kane, Vardy, Sterling, Sturridge, Rashford...
Excellent local shooters from all the Premier League giants gathered together... and they took turns firing 20 shots, but they couldn't pry open the opponent's door.
Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart once again performed the famous "butter hand" scene. He only experienced three tests by the Iceland team in 90 minutes and was fed two goals.
espn live broadcast room.
The England commentator angrily took off his headphones and yelled: "The biggest shame in the history of English football!"
Lingard was so sad that he started dancing in front of the TV.
...
The words are divided into two parts.
At the Toulouse Stadium, a cruel score was displayed on the LED screen in mid-air!
0:4.
Hungary 0:4 Belgium.
A massacre without any suspense.
Lukaku, Benteke and Batshuayin hugged and celebrated in excitement.
Azar put his hands on his hips and showed no expression on his face.
De Bruyne was a little depressed while playing, holding a piece of grass with his fingers and rubbing it...
As the best mvp in this game, he has many question marks.
Why is Lukaku afraid of physical confrontation despite being so strong?
Why do Batshuayin and Benteke kick away an empty goal?
Why does Hazard's movements always overlap with his own?
The problems exposed in Belgium are too dense and serious.
....
That night.
All the results of the European Cup quarter-finals are revealed.
Upper half:
Poland vs Portugal.
Wales vs Belgium.
Lower half:
Spain vs Germany.
France vs Iceland.
-[Reviewing the battle of the top 16, the first half and the second half, the difficulty is heaven and hell.]
-[It’s hard to say, the national team’s version of Bale is very strong. This is the first time I’ve seen him organize a series. Wales may be able to defeat Belgium in an upset.]
- [Is the shock to the whole world when Iceland eliminated England equivalent to the elimination of the national football team... Damn it, I can’t think of which team should be used as a metaphor.]
-[The match between Spain and Germany must be the most watched in the world. It is a matchup between two World Cup champions, a super luxurious lineup! A top-notch coaching team!]
-[Li Mingdeng has very bad luck. He played against strong teams in the Champions League at his club, and when he came to the knockout stage of the European Cup, his opponents were Italy and Germany... If he advanced to the semi-finals, he would have to play against the world's number one FIFA football rankings.
France...are all favorites to win the championship.]
- [Don’t panic, Li Menxing is Noyin’er’s nemesis, and every time we fight, the gods will come down to earth! 】
-【It's okay, you can relax after reaching the finals.】
...
Ile de Ré, France.
Li Kang and his teammates returned to the national team station.
The knockout rounds of the European Cup quarter-finals are scheduled for seven days.
Del Bosque had a rigorous discussion with the fitness coach and team doctor and decided to give the entire team a day off.
Everyone's reaction was dull.
The ladies group is not allowed to enter the training base.
The scope of activities is also very limited.
Coupled with the mass violence incident in the national team a few years ago, no one dared to act rashly.
The worst thing is for De Gea, whose agent is still busy with a public relations scandal.
Mignano helped Li Kang carry his luggage and urged: "Go to bed early. We will spend some time filming the national team's commercial tomorrow afternoon."
The Spanish national team’s players’ image rights are due to Xavi and other veterans.
After winning the World Cup in 2010, the veterans began to worry: they believed that the national team's advertising conflicted with the players' personal interests.
For example, you accept an advertisement for Pepsi-Cola, and the national team accepts a collective advertisement for Coca-Cola...
Fortunately, the chairman of the Football Association at the time was a Basque, and he waved his hand very readily: More money!
All complicated disputes were settled easily.
....
Li Kang returned to the room and began to watch the German team's game video.
It's still the same group of familiar old faces.
Boateng has lost weight recently.
Noyin'er has less hair.
Gotze is fat again.
There are also less familiar German superstars such as Kroos, Khedira, Schweinsteiger... and so on.
The central axis of this German team is extremely strong, and the passing and control operation is extremely smooth.
The two full-backs moved forward sharply, and the wingers recovered their ribs, like a net covering the green field.
There is no perfect formation on the weak side.
If there is a flaw, it is simply the lack of an excellent center.
The camera suddenly showed the bench.
Li Kang was slightly startled.
Not Gomez?
Yes, Havertz has also been selected for the German national team, but he has not had the chance to play in the group stage so far.
