Chapter 401 Is the transmission control alive again? (Daily transition)
Mexico's situation in the World Cup is very similar to Arsenal's Champions League record over the years.
The 16th man in the World Cup and the 16th man in the Champions League.
From 1994 to 2014, Mexico never missed a World Cup main event, but always failed in the knockout rounds of the top 16.
This champion of Central and North America and the Caribbean has a very high level of combat effectiveness.
It can beat the top South American teams like Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay.
It can also be lost to Jamaica... this level of Central and North American fish belly.
The biggest star in the lineup is "Little Pea" Hernandez.
But in terms of popularity, Mexican goalkeeper Ochoa became a god as early as the 2014 World Cup and became popular all over the Internet. Fans affectionately call him: Mexico Wu Zhenyu.
....
June 21.
Kazan Arena on the banks of the Kazanka River.
This stadium is designed by the same design company as Arsenal's Emirates Stadium: Beaux Arts.
Boplux is best at integrating architectural appearance with local culture.
The highlands beside the Vogar River are filled with a strong Islamic atmosphere, adding a touch of green to the top of the Kazan Arena's appearance.
Fans from all over the world quickly filled more than 40,000 seats.
Different languages converge into one passionate torrent.
Command area.
Mignano was worried: "Boss, Li's injury..."
Del Bosque looked calm and said with a smile: "The team doctor said there is no problem, and Li himself said there is no problem...then there is no problem."
...
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers."
"The second round of the 2017 Confederations Cup group stage is now live for you."
"Mexico vs. Spain."
"The Aztec Eagle meets the Matador Legion!"
"What kind of sparks will the two collide with?"
"Let's wait and see!"
"The following introduces you to the lineups of both sides."
"Mexico's formation is 4-3-3."
"Goalkeeper: Ochoa."
"Defenders: Layun, Moreno, Reyes, Saccardo."
"Midfielder: Guardado, Hector, Honatan."
"Forwards: Hernandez, Jiminez, Vela."
Studio.
-【Pea shooter!】
-[This lineup is even more difficult to deal with than Russia, a tough nut to crack.]
-[Mexico’s style of play is so different and attracts so many fans. They defeated New Zealand in the first round. The players can run and grab, and they can drill like seven or eight loaches!]
-【Arsenal of America, its reputation is not in vain.】
-[The shortcoming is: short.]
- [Ochoa is so good in the national team, why can’t he play in the five major European leagues? 】
-[He played in La Liga for one season, was beaten, his value plummeted, and he will play in Belgium next season.]
-[Some players perform averagely in the club, but when they come to the national team, they can cheat.]
...
"Spain's formation is 4-5-1!"
"Goalkeeper: De Gea."
"Defenders: Carvajal, Pique, Ramos, Alba."
"Midfielder: Busquets, Saul, Li Kang, Koke, Fabregas."
"Forward: Diego Costa."
-【Why do you suddenly feel that the Spanish lineup has become luxurious? 】
-【A shiny object was mixed in.】
-【Li Mingdeng is back.】
-[As soon as Li Mingdeng came on the field, I felt that this lineup was well integrated and could win the Champions League.]
...
Beep!
The game officially begins.
Diego Costa returned the kick to Li Kang.
The Mexican frontcourt players quickly crossed the center circle and launched a pressing net.
Li Kang touched the ball with one foot.
The football clung to the turf and flew to Busquets' feet.
The latter also touches the ball with one foot.
The ball was slowly played diagonally towards Cesc Fabregas.
"Mexican players are very aggressive in pressing high! They are running all over the field!"
"The passing rhythm of the Spanish midfielder is not very fast...it is very slow, but it can always resolve the opponent's pressure."
"Why?"
"This running... positioning is very essential."
...
Sideline.
Mexico coach Osorio felt as if his team had been punched in the cotton.
He quickly reminded his disciples to pay attention to the positions of Saul and Kirk.
The other side.
Mignano was extremely happy. He wanted to raise his hand to direct something...but found that his mind seemed to be half a beat slower than the players on the field.
Del Bosque sat on the bench with a smile on his face.
"Whatever style of team you encounter, use that style of play."
...
The style of the game became very weird.
The Mexican frontcourt players followed the movement of the football and ran hard, but they couldn't get the ball.
The rhythm of Spain's midfield and backfield is very slow, but with each pass, the overall formation is advancing steadily.
"Little Pea correctly guessed Pique's passing route this time!"
"Going to steal the ball!"
"Huh? Let's see what Busquets does?"
"pretty!"
"The right foot touches the ball first, pulls it back slightly, makes a false tendency to turn around, deceives the little pea, and then uses the back heel to pull the ball back!"
"Immediately pass the ball to Li Kang."
unconsciously.
The center of Spain's overall formation has been pushed to the thirty-meter area of Mexico's half.
The moment Li Kang passed the ball with his back, Jiminez and Hector double-teamed him at the same time.
Pull the ball.
Turn around.
Score the ball.
Snapped!
In the blink of an eye, the football rolled to Cesc Fabregas' feet.
"triangle!"
"The ever-changing passing points of La Masia's triangle."
"The cooperation between La Masia's midfielders is so tacit."
"The hearts are connected."
"The stability of the pass and control is extremely strong. No matter how many people the opponent presses, it will be difficult to complete the steal!"
"Here comes the problem!"
"Without Iniesta, David Silva, and Cazorla, how should Spain solve the problem of speeding up advancement and breakthroughs?"
"Li Kang rushes up!"
"Catch the ball and send a pick-up pass instantly!"
"The pick was given to Saul who was pulled out to the wing!"
In a one-on-one contest, Saul easily ate Porto's famous player Layun alive.
Carvajal quickly edged.
Just as Mexico is preparing to face Spain's passing and penetrating attack.
Snapped!
The football rises off the ground from the baseline.
Straight into the restricted area.
"When did Ramos rush up?"
"oops!"
"Later point!"
"Diego Costa!"
Diego Costa is like a bulldozer.
He used his body to squeeze Salcado and Honatan away, then swung his legs in the air!
Boom!
After the football made contact with the instep, it shot out!
Turned into a black shadow.
Attacking the top right corner of the Mexico goal.
Ochoa fought hard to save, but to no avail.
0:1!
The whole place was boiling.
Warm applause instantly flooded the entire Kazan Arena.
"too easy."
"Boil a frog in warm water."
"Spain's overall advancement rhythm tends to be gentle, with a distinct brand of passing and control...The fatal blow was to pick up the ball and pass from the bottom line."
"no problem!"
"Carvajal assisted, Diego Costa volleyed!"
"Spain takes the lead in breaking the deadlock!"
...
Studio.
Barrage flying.
-【Three-dimensional attack!】
-【Will Li Mingdeng sweat if he kicks like this?】
-[Saul and Cork, Carvajal will sweat.]
-[What about short pass penetration? Why did Spain’s style change after Li Mingdeng gave the ball to Saul? 】
-[Core midfielder-Li Mingdeng.]
-[Playing like the urban-rural fusion between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, the overall rhythm is in a straight line, advancing to the 40-meter area, and then deciding the offensive method according to changes in the opponent's defense line.]
-【Layun shouldn't be so impulsive and lose his position.】
