Chapter 476: The second round of the magic return battle?
"Hello, viewers, this is the second semi-final of this European Cup. Tomorrow the Swedish team will play in France, at the Velodrome Stadium in Marseille!"
"They could see from the TV cameras that the entire football stadium was packed and the 67,000 seats were sold out days in advance. Everyone was waiting for the much-anticipated event.
Wrong decision!"
"Their reporters at the front have already got the starting lineups of both sides for this game."
"In the past few days, everyone has been very curious about Pan Yicuo's game strategy in this game, but the fact is that he did continue to use his troops flexibly in the past few games. In that game, he was once again in the starting lineup.
Adjustments have been made.”
"The Swedish team still has a 433 formation in this game, with the goalkeeper Isaksson, the defense with Augustinsson, Lindelof, Granqvist, and Sebastian Larsson, and the three midfielders
Forsberg, Weinblum and Kulusevski, the front three is Isaac, Ibrahimovic and Guideti.”
"One of the biggest changes is that the 16-year-old Kulusevski, who had played as a substitute in the previous games, appeared in the starting lineup this time!"
"Kulusevski has appeared in the middle of the midfield and as a right winger, and judging from Pan Yi's starting lineup tomorrow, he should have appeared in the midfield that time!"
"Ekdal, who had started almost every game before, was on the bench. It seemed that Forsberg and Kulusevski were standing in front of Weinblum to form an inverted triangle position."
"This is a very surprising choice. After all, based on game experience, strength, and tacit understanding with Forsberg, Ekdal should be qualified for the starting lineup. In such a demanding Europe,
Isn’t it too much of a risk to use Kulusevski in the Cup semi-finals?”
"In addition to Isaac, who has already started, the Swedish team directly used two 16-year-old teenagers in this game. It is really very bold. But if the host country France makes a mistake clearly, then it is
It’s quite worrying!”
"Another major adjustment is in the defense. Sebastian Larsson previously appeared in the Swedish team's lineup as a midfielder, but tomorrow he appears at the right back position. Then
This is the third right back used by Pan Yi in this cup!"
"That's really a bit confusing. Maybe, let's deny the truth about Pan Yi's closed training in those days. He really gave them a surprise!"
"Compared with the adjustments and changes in the Swedish team, Deschamps' deployment of troops did not come with too many surprises."
Kanter returned from suspension and naturally returned to the starting lineup.
Therefore, the -1 of the French team basically depends on whether everyone can guess the starting player:
Goalkeeper: Lori.
Defenders: Evra, Umtiti, Koscielny, Sagna.
Midfielder: Kante, Matuidi.
Frontcourt: Payet, Pogba, Griezmann.
Center: Giroud.
Of course, the positions of Griezmann and Pogba are flexible. Pogba will often retreat to the midfielder position for defensive support, while Griezmann will be between the forward, attacking midfielder and defensive midfielder.
Walking around, connecting back and forth.
"Compared with Pan Yi's adjustments and changes, Deschamps' starting lineup has not changed much. The details may be a little different, but in terms of specific positions and players' tasks, we should not stick to the principle of staying the same in response to changes.
Strategy, after all, the entire French team has worked very well so far."
As the on-site commentator was talking, players from both sides could be seen slowly walking out of the tunnel under the leadership of the referee.
More than 70,000 fans at the scene suddenly burst into overwhelming cheers, which made the entire stadium seem to be boiling.
Different from the previous fans who were divided 50-50, most of the fans in tomorrow's game will be fans waving red and blue French flags, after all, they are playing at home!
Neither Pan Yi nor Deschamps followed the players out.
Neither head coach is the most impressive coach in this European Cup, especially their leadership performance, which also made this mismatch attract much attention.
Very quickly, the camera lens was immediately attracted by a scene in the stands.
There, there was a strange-looking guy.
His face is painted with colorful oil paint, his head is decorated with long feathers, and there are many strange symbols painted on his body.
On his left leg, he was holding a vessel as big as a washbasin. There must be something in the vessel, like hair or something, which he couldn't see clearly.
And his right leg is something like a scepter.
At this time, the strange-looking guy was dancing with his legs and mumbling something.
"Ah, is that the Guinea wizard invited by Pogba? Did he really come to tomorrow's game and curse the Swedish team?"
The narrator shouted in surprise, and then his mouth couldn't close for a moment.
Because he immediately saw something even more incomprehensible to him in the stands of Swedish fans.
I saw a bare-headed monk there, wearing cassocks, knocking on wooden fish, and also mumbling something.
He is not even alone.
Next to the monk, there was a Taoist priest.
He tied his hair into a bun, which was pinned with a jade hairpin. He wore a flat Hunyuan hat on his head and wore a blue-blue Taoist robe;
There is a yellow paper charm on the left leg and a mahogany sword on the right leg, which is being made.
And around the monks and Taoist priests, fans wearing yellow Swedish jerseys followed their movements and let out bursts of cheers.
"Then...are they the gods with powerful magic that Pan Yi mentioned at the press conference yesterday? He also invited them to the scene?"
"It seems that tomorrow will not only be a contest on the court, but also a high-leg mismatch on both sides of the court!"
"Judging from the current situation, Pan Yi is better prepared. After all, if he fights two against one, he has a higher chance of winning!"
When the commentator exclaimed in surprise, Pan Yi on the sidelines could not hold back his laughter, walked over to shake Deschamps' leg, and then returned to his visiting team's coaching bench.
That monk and Taoist priest were really invited by Pan Yi.
After yesterday's press conference, the focus of reports in major media and newspapers was not on the preparations of the two teams, but on the content of the "Spell Return"!
It seems that everyone prefers gossip and gossip...
At this time, Pan Yi also had an idea.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in the powers of those gods and ghosts, but some people won’t!
If you talk nonsense, maybe the French side will really be afraid - for example, Pogba really feels that he will be threatened by divine power, so he will let the wizard solve the problem - the wizard will come tomorrow.
Then, just do a full set of acting and have an off-site battle with them!
It's not that the fighting technique is really useful, but that it's psychologically attacking the wrong leg.
Do I not believe in those ghosts and gods?
Then he will use the Dragon Kingdom's most powerful spell to defeat me!
Will it give the wrong side a psychological hint that the wrong side is protected by a more powerful god, which will affect their own performance?
After all, everyone is searching. When I saw the power of Tathagata Buddha and Taizai Laojun, I didn’t believe that I didn’t panic!
On the other hand, on the Swedish team, almost no one believes that.
Maybe it’s because Northern Europeans are generally more educated.
Will Ibrahimovic believe me?
He said whether he was alive or not, and I asked him whether he believed it or not?
If his players believe in wizards or something, Ibrahimovic shouldn't beat him to death with his baseball bat?
As for the monks and Taoist priests...
Of course, Pan Yi also lost all his money.
Then he went to the local Chinatown and hired extras for fifty euros an hour each.
——
After playing the national anthem and guessing the side, France got the right to serve.
When the time entered 21 o'clock, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.
Deschamps knew very well that it was very important for France to take the initiative in that game.
He was also glad that he had adhered to the tactical idea of adapting to the ever-changing situation by staying the same. Otherwise, how could he have guessed the starting lineup of the Swedish team?
Obviously Pan Yi is back on his feet again!
Let Larsson play at right back, and let Kulusevski play on the right side of midfield. Is that a combination?
But what exactly it is, Deschamps can't think of it for the time being, and he doesn't want to waste his brains thinking about it. He does cherish his hair very much!
As the stronger side, if it can grab a start and score a goal first, it will undoubtedly be a huge help to win the game.
At that time, no matter how Pan Yi can survive, Deshang can also go to Diaoyutai and use his sufficient reserve resources to challenge Pan Yi.
Does the French team have good legs like Martial, Koeman, and Sissoko on the bench? Is it like the Swedish bench is full of flaws?
Therefore, from the first minute, the French team showed a very strong desire to score.
They showed a more powerful and aggressive attack than in the past, which allowed them to launch a fierce offensive from the beginning of the game.
After veteran Evra got the ball on the left, he advanced a few steps. When Guidetti rushed towards him from the wrong side, he chose to pass the ball across to the east of Pogba's feet.
Pogba is known as the core of France's midfield, and when he is in good condition, he can indeed successfully complete the tasks assigned to him by Deschamps.
His long pass transfer can be said to be the leg that the French team needs to accelerate their attack!
At this time, we saw that as soon as Pogba received the pass from Evra, he looked up and looked ahead, first blocked the charging Forsberg with his body, and then raised his right foot.
That precise curved long pass caused the ball to cross a beautiful parabola and then landed in the front left corner of the Swedish team's penalty area.
Griezmann moved from the center to the left to get the ball.
This is also the most frequently used tactical combination in France, using Griezmann's skills and creativity on the wing to create space for the real power center Giroud, and that time they were obviously ready to continue doing that.
.
I saw that after Griezmann pulled to the left, he stopped the ball steadily.
But Lindelof pounced on him immediately, blocking Griezmann's path to the penalty area and blocking him from the left side of the penalty area.
In the middle of the Swedish team, Granqvist was also preparing to provide support behind Lindelof, while Larsson looked at Giroud, Weinblum, Augustinsson and others who had already returned to their own sides immediately.
That side is ready to ask for help in defense.
This is also an advantage of the Swedish team's defense. Whether it is a central defender or a full-back, their personal defensive ability is quite good. Many of the full-backs can even play as central defenders.
Location.
And Weinblum's solid midfielder can add another lock to the defense.
As for Griezmann, his ability to judge the wrong space is also very strong.
When he leaned on Lindelof on the wing, he glanced at Granqvist from the corner of his eye, and he clearly realized that dribbling the ball outside and cutting outside was no longer feasible.
Moreover, Weinblum had already returned to the penalty area to defend. At that time, the only thing he could do was to turn around and pass away.
It was a flash of lightning on the pitch, but Griezmann had already figured out the wrong strategy and put it into action.
He first used a deft and agile dribbling to complete a beautiful escape, and then his whole body was like a slippery loach, trying to slip past Lindelof's defense.
Then, before Granqvist's defense was in place to intercept the ball, Griezmann directly raised his left foot, made a curve ball, and passed the ball to the center of the penalty area.
Giroud has already been ambushing in the middle of the penalty area.
He hid behind Larson, because that way he could see Larson's reaction more clearly and make wrong moves.
As soon as he saw the incoming ball, Giroud immediately rushed forward and jumped high to meet the incoming ball.
Giroud is a typical center forward, and his heading ability can be said to be the best in the world.
Of course, in addition to heading the ball, his shooting ability is also amazing. He can even use various "shocking moves" like Ibrahimovic to complete incredible scores.
When one day, Ibrahimovic and Giroud are old and reach the age to join Milan, the two of them have a wonderful chemical reaction together...
But now, Griezmann's pass is very comfortable, and Giroud knows how to catch it, so when he jumps high, his head is almost facing the incoming ball, ready to head it.
But at that time, a person rose into the sky in front of him, and deliberately blocked his body with his body, interfering with his path to catch the ball.
"Kulusevsky has made a great contribution!" the on-site commentator shouted excitedly.
"Griezmann's cross was very comfortable. Giroud could almost have headed the ball from close range, but Kulusevski blocked him and headed the ball out of the baseline.
Corner kick for France!”
The Swedish teenager, who is also 186cm tall, had returned to his penalty area during that defense and assisted Larsson in preventing Giroud's fatal header!
At this time, goalkeepers Isaacson and Larsson, including running backs Lindelof, Granqvist and others all high-fived Kulusevski, expressing their affirmation of the youngster's defense!
Countless Swedish fans at the scene also shouted Kulusevski's name and began to understand why Pan Yiqiu would let Kulusevski start tomorrow.
That little guy is not only unique in his offense, but he is also unambiguous when the coach asks him to defend.
It is true that his defensive skills and interception ability are very lacking, but his good height and weight allow him to have a good defensive area when standing in position, and he is not afraid of a big center like Giroud.
of wrong resistance.
Moreover, behind Kulusevski now is Larson, who has always been known for his "escape"!
He has been playing for Sunderland for five years, and Sunderland's nine-life Black Cat can avoid relegation in the Premier League every year. In addition to the two senior players of Manchester United in the defense (Brown + O'Shea), the midfielder is really
Just rely on Larson to travel around the world.
And Larsson is also a multi-faceted player. In addition to the midfield position, he is also good at playing on the right - right winger, right midfielder, right winger and right back. Even the attacking midfielder and left midfielder are both good at it.
Kicked...
Therefore, Pan Yi placed him behind Kulusevski, so as to make up for his lack of running ability, and at the same time allow Kulusevski to display his offensive and defensive abilities.
Features!
Of course, there is a little bit that the fans haven’t noticed yet.
Is it because Larson is a midfielder himself and is good at intercepting and stealing;
Therefore, at the necessary moment, having Larsson move out to the center and form a double midfielder with Weinblum to press the French midfielder, this can also be a good leg to inhibit the movement of the opponent's midfielder.
At that time, Augustinsson on the left could move closer to the center of the defense, forming a three-back position with Lindelof and Landqvist, and the Swedish team's entire formation also changed accordingly.
As a result, Sweden can flexibly switch between the two formations, and the "switch" for switching is Sebastian Larsson!
And soon, the commentator also began to understand Pan Yi's deployment.
"As the game continues to unfold, 10 minutes have passed, and the score between the two sides is still 0:0!"
"Because in the first 10 minutes, France took the initiative to attack after the opening, they could finally clearly see from the game that Pan Yi misunderstood France's pinned defense."
"Pan Yi said no to the tactics in that game, but in reality he often switched to no."
"In the frontcourt, Ibrahimovic can play as a center forward. He can move the opponent's defense line and press according to the situation at will. This is no different from before."
"But if Isaac and Guidetti next to him are not fixed on the wing, but often roam in the middle, there will always be one person between the two who will appear next to Pogba, or even
There are often two people, one on the left and one on the right, clamping down on Pogba."
"In addition to Lukusevski and Forsberg who were already in the midfield, they also paid great attention to Pogba's defense, which resulted in asking Pogba to have the ball next to him.
There must be at least one or two defensive players who wrongly pressed him."
"This forces Pogba to move the ball as quickly as possible, and often passes it back or plays the ball hastily. It is similar to the first long pass in the opening, a purposeful and thoughtful pass.
If you come less and less, it will obviously be restricted by the Swedish team."
"In the defensive midfielder position, Weinblum firmly established his position, echoing Lukusevski and Forsberg in front, but of course that is not the whole story."
"As he said just now, the Swedish team's formation will change according to the situation in France. Especially when Griezmann runs to the forward line and forms a double forward with Giroud, Augustinsson will move outside to form a three-center defender.
position."
"At the same time, Larsson will move to the midfielder position and become a wide midfielder. In this way, four midfielders can be used to contain France's three midfielders."
"And the three central defenders are also very accurate. They all know that the combination of three central defenders has many advantages when dealing with two forwards, such as greater mobility, easier to defend with more and less in local areas, etc."
"Larsson is relatively close on the right, parallel to Weinblum. He can go forward and participate in the attack, but once France's offensive becomes fierce, he will come back to defend. It's a very interesting style of play.
.”
"Coupled with the support of Kulusevsky in front of him, let him become the key point in Pan Yi's style of play tomorrow."
"It's really surprising that Pan Yi can rely on a player like Larsson who was originally a substitute for the Swedish team, and he relies so much on a player who plays for the Premier League relegation team!"
"Perhaps there are only the world's number one coach like him who would dare to make such adjustments in a demanding game like the European Cup semi-finals? But it is obvious that such adjustments will be effective."
"France's tactics often rely on midfield suppression to make room for Pogba, bring out Pogba's strength, and then create problems through the free running and pulling of Griezmann and Giroud in the frontcourt.
Especially Griezmann. But Pan Yi's wrong-footed arrangement obviously restrained this point."
"Judging from the opening, the French midfielder did not have the slightest advantage, but was suppressed by the Swedish team. Because the Swedish team often played 4 against 3 in the midfield, and could even reach a certain time through running on both sides.
The overwhelming situation of 5 on 3 can always cut the French midfield to pieces."
"Just like Kanter, Pan Yi's understanding of his favorite disciple must be better than that of everyone in the world. He sent Weinblum to engage in more physical resistance against him, preventing him from exerting all his potential.
Features.”
"Now, they can finally understand why Pan Yi uses the current lineup. At present, that kind of play is very stable in defense, and once the defense is successful and the counterattack begins, Forsberg in the midfield
Both Kulusevsky and Kulusevski have the ability to carry the ball forward and even shoot directly."
"Then the Swedish team will not pursue defense too much like it did against Germany, resulting in a lack of offensive inspiration. After all, if it only relies on defense, it will not be able to defeat France!"
"Judging from the first 10 minutes of the game, behind France's overwhelming offensive, the Swedish team did very well on both offense and defense. Pan Yi's targeted tactics are showing results."
"Relatively speaking, France can't do much on the wing. Their midfielder's positioning area has very narrow coverage, and the wing also lacks sufficient protection."
"If the Swedish team can use the mobile force of Larsson, including Augustinsson, who has good skills on the left, to create enough threats on the wing, it may also be able to cause trouble for France on the offensive end on both sides..."
I'm here, Pogba is a little irritable now.
There was always someone harassing him, which made him play very poorly.
Sometimes he wanted to dribble to get rid of the wrong leg, but the ball was intercepted repeatedly, which caused a counterattack from the wrong leg.
During a hasty transfer, Pogba accidentally used too much force and kicked the ball out of the sideline, causing Payet to complain.
Pogba ignored what Payet was saying and followed the flight path of the ball and looked towards the stands.
I saw that his wizard was closing his eyes and concentrating. It seemed that he was a little tired because he had been doing it for too long after the start.
In the Swedish fan area on the other side, the monk seemed to be taking a rest, but the Taoist priest was still dancing and going non-stop.
Obviously, there must be conflict between the monk and the Taoist priest, so that they can continue to deliver magic power to the outside!
"Fuck, you're so careless. No wonder he didn't perform well. If I had known, he would have invited one more person!"
Pogba cursed, but shook his head:
"His wizard only asked for several million euros. The two people Pan Yi hired were obviously not weaker than him in magic power. So Pan Yi shouldn't spend tens of millions of euros?"
"Sure enough, the head coach with the highest salary in the world cannot be offended."
