Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 131 One-on-one heads-up, Pogba is overwhelmed!Guardiola said he learned it!

"CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, here is the live broadcast of the 2014 Brazil World Cup qualifier European group match, the focus of the two teams from Group I, France vs Spain."

"I'm the commentator He Wei!"

"I'm Zhang Lu."

Because the national football team was eliminated early in the world preliminaries, and this game is another high-profile battle.

So CCTV chose to broadcast the game.

"Let me first introduce you to the starting situation of the two teams:

The formation of the two teams is 433. Spain's starting list today: Goalkeeper: Valdes; Defenders: Arbeloa, Pique, Ramos, Monreal; Midfielders: Busquez, Xavi A Lonzo, Harvey; Forwards: David Silva, Iniesta, Lin Quan

Today's starting list for the French team: Goalkeeper: Lloris; Defenders: Jalais, Varane, Koscielny, Evra; Midfielders: Cabaye, Pogba, Matuidi; Forwards: Benzema , Ribery, Valbuena.

In this game, the French team used a young player in the midfield, the rising star Paul Pogba from the Serie A giants Juventus. "

"This player is very young. He just turned 20 years old this year. This is his first game representing the French national team. He started the game in the first game. It can be seen that the coach of the French team Didier Deschamps has high hopes for him."

"Yes, Pogba was born in Manchester United's youth training. He is tall and has delicate footwork. After joining Juventus this season, he has performed well in Serie A. Many people are optimistic about his future. Zidane's successor."

"Hehe, for the French team, they have been looking forward to a top midfielder for six full years!"

"As the fans said, after Zidane retired, French football has not recovered for six years. In the past six years, they have been lacking a top midfield commander. I don't know if Pogba can carry it. A heavy burden to live up to the expectations of the coaches and fans."

Standing on the lawn of the Stade de France, Pogba felt his heart beating very fast.

Many fans came to the scene, filling the huge stadium to the brim, and most of them were fans who came to support the French team.

At this time, they were waving flags, shouting the names of the French players, and cheering for the French team.

Vaguely, Pogba seemed to hear his name.

This cheered him up a bit:
If I can play well in this game, then I, Pogba, will become famous with one goal!

……

Compared with Pogba's excitement, Lin Quan, who has experienced the baptism of the terrifying atmosphere of the Westfalenstadion, is very calm about the noise and interference created by the French fans.

He couldn't understand French and didn't know what the French fans were shouting about.

But looking at their ferocious faces, as well as the vaguely recognizable names of themselves and teammates, it is estimated that they are probably swearing, right?
Although I don't know who said it, it seems to say that if a player is not scolded by his opponent, it proves that he is unsuccessful.

Rival fans don't abuse fringe players who aren't a threat to them.

At 20 o'clock, with the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.

After the opening of the Spanish team's possession of the ball, Lin Quan kicked the ball to Iniesta, while he ran towards the opponent's half.

The French team pressed very actively after the opening. After Iniesta got the ball, he was pressed by two opponents.

As a last resort, he had to pass the ball to Butzkes, who received the ball, and the French team's formation pressed up as a whole, and continued to press against the players holding the ball on the Spanish side.

Bosque on the sidelines frowned:
Is the French team planning to play a high press?
France's aggressive pressing soon paid off.

In the second minute of the opening, they caught the error of the Spanish pass. After Matuidi grabbed the ball, he passed the ball to his teammate.

After receiving the ball, Pogba saw the gap in the Spanish defense and immediately sent a through ball to the center.

The football was accurately delivered to Valbuena's feet, but it was a pity that the latter's undercut hit the goal high.

Pogba's pass made Deschamps and the audience on the sidelines shine.

This ball reflects Pogba's broad vision and delicate footwork on the court. Most people may not be able to spot such a fleeting passing opportunity, but he did.

The fans of the French team looked very excited, it has been six years!

Do you know how we spent these six years?
Since Zidane retired, they endured the torture of the group of rough guys in the team for six full years.

After getting used to watching Zidane's master pass, and watching the pass of these rough guys on the field, the fans of the French team can't look directly at it.

And now, Pogba's appearance has given them a glimpse of the dawn.

Finally, there is a player who is not black and hard, but a player who can play tricks.

This shot seems to have brought great encouragement to the French team, and they invested more troops in the frontcourt to strengthen the siege.

In the 5th minute, the French team once again completed a steal in the frontcourt, and Matuidi shot the ball with his left foot over the crossbar.

In just 5 minutes of the opening, they had already completed two shots, and it seemed that they had firmly taken the initiative on the field.

This scene made the French fans on the scene very excited. They cheered harder and made louder waves, trying to provide more motivation for the French players on the field.

Facing the pressure of the French team, Spain quickly made adjustments.

Their formation became 460, and the three strikers all retreated to their own half, joining the strangling battle in the midfield.

Spain's frontless formation is famous because all their frontcourt players can play in midfield.

Iniesta, David Silva and Lin Quan are not traditional strikers.

After they joined the strangling of the midfield, Spain's numerical advantage in the midfield began to be reflected.

The Spanish players who were in a hurry by the opponent now have more options to play the ball, and the risk of mistakes has been greatly reduced.

As a result, the fans at the scene gradually discovered that although the French team was still trying hard to force the Spanish players holding the ball.

But their pressing efficiency began to drop sharply. Since that shot in the 5th minute, they have not touched the ball for several minutes.

In this way, the French team's press doesn't look like a press, it looks more like being walked by the Spaniard.

On the sidelines, seeing the team's midfield gradually stabilized, Bosque breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat on the coach's bench with peace of mind, and he was so happy that he wanted to hum a cheerful little song.

With such a luxurious midfield configuration, are you afraid that you will not be able to press?

As long as you can't grab the ball, then this pressing momentum cannot continue.

The players of the French team will lose confidence and enthusiasm under the blow of one pressing failure after another.

Moreover, the opponent's formation is so high, it is a great opportunity for Spain to fight back.

Thinking of this, Bosque looked at Lin Quan on the field.

I have prepared the stage for you to perform, and now it's up to you to perform!
Seeing that the team's pressing tactics seemed to be ineffective, Deschamps stood on the sidelines and directed the players to run faster, using more active running to increase the success rate of pressing.

But just when they pressed hard, the Spanish team found a chance to counterattack.

In the 12th minute of the game, Spain fell in the backcourt and attracted the three forwards of the French team to press up. Monreal quickly passed the ball to Butzquez.

Professor Bu raised his head to observe the situation in front of him, and immediately sent a super long pass to find Lin Quan in the middle.

Lin Quan quickly speeded up and headed towards the half of the French team.

Pogba was the closest to Lin Quan, and appeared in front of him almost subconsciously, trying to intercept him.

The audience at the scene saw the two directly facing each other, and everyone began to look forward to it.

One of them is a supernova in Spain, and the other is a rising star in the French team.

The direct confrontation between the two is full of highlights, making people want to know who can win in the duel.

Lin, I won't let you pass me easily!
Pogba stared at Lin Quan closely, with a fighting spirit in his heart.

As long as he can win the head-to-head confrontation with Lin Quan, he will be able to prove his strength and thus stabilize his position in the national team.

Facing such a tall defensive player, Lin Quan didn't use any fancy skills.

He dropped his left shoulder and at the same time handed the ball to his left foot, making a move to break from the left.

Pogba has never played against Lin Quan, so I don't know how confusing his fake moves are.

After seeing the opponent's center of gravity change, he thought that the opponent would break through from his right, so he chose to intercept it.

then……

Lin Quan and the football disappeared from his left.

Whoa!
The fans at the scene burst into exclamations, especially those fans of the French team.

They thought they could see a close peak duel, but they didn't expect Pogba, who they had high hopes for, to be passed by the opponent at once like a wooden man.

How could this be?
They couldn't figure it out, and neither could Pogba on the field:
How could it be a fake move?

His center of gravity has obviously shifted to the right, but why can he break through from the left?

Because the speed at which Pogba was passed was so fast that the opponent's central defender had to bite the bullet and rush towards Lin Quan.

You can't give this kid too much space, otherwise it will be difficult for him to defend whether it is a long-range shot or a breakthrough.

It is necessary to compress the space around him and limit his passing and dribbling.

The judgment of the French defenders is accurate, but the problem is that both of them ran to defend Lin Quan, so what should the other Spanish players do?

Facing the interception of the opponent's two defenders, Lin Quan decisively passed the ball to the space on the right.

The ball arrived, and Iniesta appeared on the right side of the penalty area. After receiving a pass from Lin Quan, he pushed the ball into the empty goal.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Spain took the lead in breaking the deadlock by taking advantage of an ordinary counterattack opportunity.

At the moment when Iniesta scored a goal in the 8-person Stade de France, it was as if the mute button was pressed, and it was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

The French fans were dumbfounded, holding their heads in their hands, in disbelief.

Obviously the team took the initiative on the field, but why was it the damn Spain who scored the first goal instead of them?

"Hehe, it's not surprising that the goal was scored. Spain's counterattack was very high-quality, and the French team's pressure was too high, resulting in an empty defense, and it was easy to be attacked by the opponent."

Facing the loss this time, He Wei said with a smile.

"The French team is playing at home and naturally hopes to win a victory, so it is not surprising that they press up and attack.

However, when facing Spain with Lin Quan, their tactics are too risky. "

Zhang Lu also laughed, Spain is now an enhanced version of Barcelona.

You let Barcelona fight back, what quality is that?
I can't even imagine it!
"We can't blame Pogba for losing the ball this time. He lacks the protection of his teammates around him. It is normal to be defeated in a one-on-one match with a player like Lin Quan."

Seeing Pogba's frustrated expression in the camera, He Wei rarely said a kind word for him.

"Yes, there is a problem with the French team's overall defensive strategy. Just because Spain plays without a striker, it cannot ignore the opponent's counterattack."

After the two of them finished speaking, they felt very strange in their hearts:

Isn't ball possession tactics the pursuit of ball possession rate, using oppressive play to continuously create shooting opportunities?
How come here in Spain, but turned into a backcourt, attracting the opponent to grab, and then playing a defensive counterattack?

Why does this tactic feel like a combination of Guardiola and Mourinho?

Is this an accident achieved by accident, or was it intentional?

In a certain box of the stadium, a certain bald coach saw Bosque's style of play, his eyes lit up, he took out the small notebook he carried with him, and wrote it down.

And in a private house in Portugal, seeing the dubious play made by Bosque, a coach surnamed Mu was so angry that he wanted to scold him.

……

The game restarted, and the French team, unwilling to lag behind, continued to hold high the banner of offense.

In the 15th minute, Valbuena scored the ball to the right. Right back Laiya dribbled the ball to the bottom and knocked horizontally. Benzema followed up in the middle and fired an anti-aircraft gun.

In the 20th minute, Benzema faced the siege of many defenders in the penalty area and forcibly hit the goal and was blocked from the bottom line.

The French team's corner kick was confiscated by Valdes.

During this period of time, the French team played in a hurry and seemed to create many shooting opportunities.

But almost all of their shots were harmless.

And as the possession of the ball gradually came to the Spanish team, they didn't even have many chances to shoot this kind of shot that seemed very reluctant.

After mastering the control of the midfield, the power of Spain's pass and control tactics began to be gradually reflected.

In the 22nd minute, Spain made continuous passes in the frontcourt. Harvey got the ball from the top of the penalty area and suddenly turned around and hit the goal wide of the post.

Just 1 minute later, David Silva's low shot was blocked by Lowry again.

From the 20th minute onwards, Spain occupied most of the possession time of the game.

They formed a siege of the French goal in the frontcourt.

The strikers of the French team couldn't get the ball at all in the front and had to retreat to their own half to participate in the defense.

But even so, they still looked precarious under the siege of Spain.

In the 31st minute, Iniesta picked a pass, and Lin Quan was tripped when receiving the ball in the penalty area.

This was an obvious foul, but the referee didn't know why, but turned a blind eye to it and didn't call a penalty kick.

The Spanish players thought of their last game against France at home.

The referee's several penalties in that game were very controversial, and Spain protested to FIFA after the game.

But after their protests were submitted, they disappeared like stone and sea.

The Spanish players on the field protested to the referee, but the referee changed the penalty and insisted that it was not a penalty. Harvey even received a yellow card for being emotional.

Seeing that the protest was ineffective, the Spanish players held back their anger.

And this anger was quickly vented on the French team.
