In the end, the Spanish team ended the match with Georgia with a score of 4-0.
The biggest highlight of this game was not Spain's big victory at home, but the changes in Spain's tactics.
At the post-match press conference, the Georgia coach said in surprise: "This is a Spanish team with a new style of play, which makes my team at a loss! They no longer maximize possession of the ball and instead pursue the speed of football!"
Del Bosque said: "We have made some changes, and judging from the process and results, these changes are successful. Of course, there are still some flaws that we need to solve in the following training."
A reporter from Aspen asked: "I very much agree with what Mr. Del Bosque just said. The Spanish team has integrated speed into elegance, and we are also pleased to see that the team has become more dynamic.
My question is, will the Spanish team continue to move in this direction?"
Del Bosque thought for a moment and replied: "As a coach, I have to consider both the tradition of Spanish football and the team's performance, so we will move forward cautiously."
Little did Bosque know that such a change would inevitably be attacked by some conservative media and fans, so he was very careful about what he said.
However, what is supposed to come will still come.
A reporter from World Sports News asked: "Mr. Del Bosque, first of all, congratulations on leading the team to the World Cup in Brazil. Just now, a reporter also talked about the technical style of the Spanish team.
We believe that what you are currently trying is a very dangerous thing.
Your approach completely deviates from the Spanish football tradition and is abandoning the Spanish football concept!
What Spanish football needs to do now is not to change, but to implement its ideas to the end.
Past history tells us that pass-and-control football is the essence of Spanish football. It is also the pass-and-control football that makes Spanish football stand on the top of Europe and the top of the world!
But now you want to abandon passing football and abandon the foundation of Spanish football..."
Bosque's face became increasingly ugly.
"I don't agree with you!"
A reporter from Marca interrupted a reporter from Mundo Deportivo and said loudly: "Spanish football needs innovation, and Mr. Bosque's approach is correct!"
A reporter from Sports News expressed support to a reporter from World Sports News: "Spanish football does not need innovation now! Because we are the best team in the world!"
The press conference was chaotic, with journalists from the two camps arguing with each other.
The press officer and Bosque exchanged glances, and the press officer said into the microphone: "This is the end of the press conference!"
Bosque quickly got up and left.
Now that the protagonist has left, what's the point of arguing?
Journalists from Catalonia and Madrid stopped arguing and glared at each other.
In the end, the press conference broke up unhappy.
…
In the mixed zone, Spanish team players were being interviewed by media reporters. They didn't realize that a storm had started.
"Spain made some tactical changes tonight. Do you think this change is necessary?"
Almost every Spanish player faces this question.
Harvey said: "As for tactical issues, as a player, what I have to do is execute."
Barcelona's brain kicked the ball directly to Del Bosque.
Pique said hesitantly: "This... um... I think this issue should be treated with caution... um... maybe we need to change... maybe we don't need any change at all..."
His answer was ambiguous.
Iniesta said: "I don't think there is anything wrong with trying a new style of play. This change is based on Li joining the Spanish team. In order to allow him to take full advantage of his speed, we accelerated the pace when switching from defense to offense.
Tonight everyone also saw the benefits of this change.
Modern football pursues speed. In the past, the Spanish team pursued speed by pursuing the speed of moving the ball and the speed of cooperation in the area.
Now we try to pursue advancement speed and personal speed.
This is a new challenge for us, and I believe we will do better!"
Iniesta's answer was straightforward and he agreed with the Spanish team's changes.
Real Madrid players unequivocally approved of the tactical changes.
Ramos said: "I think this attempt is not only necessary, but necessary!
In recent years, we have successively achieved good results in world competitions and have become the subject of research around the world.
This makes many of our games extremely difficult.
So, I think we need to add new elements and make some changes.
We cannot passively wait for others to study us thoroughly before making changes!
That’s how I feel about it!”
Casillas said: "Is there a problem with making changes? There is no problem!
Spanish football is known for its elegance, but that doesn't mean we don't need speed.
Spanish football is world-famous for passing and controlling, but that doesn’t mean we can’t counterattack quickly!
Who says Spanish football can't play fast counterattacks?
Why can’t Spanish football play quick counterattacks?
Why can we only attack from position?"
Many reporters focused on Li Chuanqi because many people believed that the reason why the Spanish team made tactical changes was because of him.
Li Chuanqi said: "Quick counterattack is one of the necessary tactics for a mature team. In the past, the Spanish team rarely used quick counterattacks because the team lacked a fast forward.
And I happen to be a fast forward, which makes up for my shortcomings in this area.
The tactics of any team cannot be static and will be adjusted according to the characteristics of the players.
I think there is nothing wrong with the Spanish team making some tactical adjustments, and everyone has seen the results. After the adjustments, the Spanish team has a higher offensive success rate."
Costa's answer was more straightforward: "Lee is the most threatening forward in the world today. In any team, what the coach has to do is to let him bring out his abilities.
This is the case in Malaga and the same is true in Atletico Madrid, so it is normal for the Spanish team to make changes for him.
Many of us have formed a wrong thinking, thinking that tactics are the most important thing for the team, but I think players are the team's most valuable asset.
This way of thinking is correct!
A quick counterattack can give full play to Li's characteristics, and the effect is very obvious.
This shows that our changes are correct!
I know some people don't like change and think that quick counterattacks are discarding the tradition of Spanish football.
I can't control these people's mouths, and I don't want to control their mouths.
I think we can try all methods and methods that are conducive to strengthening the team's strength. Once it proves to be effective, we must insist on implementing it!
It's clear that Li represents the future of Spanish football, so why can't we make some changes?"
