After watching this calm game in the stands, although there was no suspense, the prince flew directly to Malaga, Spain. Because as mentioned before, the prince was unexpectedly selected for the national team training, and on the 6th
At that time, there will be a friendly match with the French national team at the Rose Garden Stadium, the home of the La Liga team Malaga. The passionate collision of the two giant teams should be more interesting. In addition, in the European Cup, France and Spain were divided into c
Group D and Group D, who are both in the bottom half, are likely to meet in the knockout rounds. Now playing a friendly match is a good way for the two teams, who have no suspense about qualifying for the group, to get familiar with their opponents in advance.
Previously, the Spanish Football Association announced on its official website that Spanish international David Silva, who currently plays for La Liga powerhouse Valencia Club, will miss the friendly match between the Spanish national team and France on Wednesday due to injury. Due to a problem with his left leg.
The injury never healed, and coach Aragones had to give up on Valencia's talented left-wing star at the last moment.
At the same time, injuries continue to plague the "Matadores". Barcelona's 17-year-old talented star Bojan, who was just selected for the national team, also unfortunately suffered from gastroenteritis; and another Iberian defender
Ramos, the future pillar of the team, was also troubled by a groin injury, but the two talented players still insisted on staying in the national team and will travel with the team from Las Rosas in Madrid to Mala today.
Plus, preparing for a friendly match with the French national team this Wednesday.
In the goalkeeper position, Real Madrid's goalkeeper Cassis and Liverpool's magical goalkeeper Reina became the lucky ones to be selected. Of course, the strength of the two of them cannot be compromised;
On the defense line, Pablo of Atletico Madrid, Ramos of Real Madrid, Capdevila of Villarreal, Albiol and Marchena of Valencia, Nava of Mallorca
Luo, Juanito of Betis and Arbeloa of Liverpool were selected;
In the midfield, Arsenal's talented new star Cesc Fabregas, Barcelona's midfield duo Iniesta and Xavi, Valencia's Alberda, Liverpool's Xabi Alonso and Espanyol's Liela were selected, and of course
There is our protagonist Prince, who was drafted as a midfielder;
On the front line, Valencia's Villa, Mallorca's Guisa, Barcelona's Bojan, Liverpool's Torres and Espanyol's Luis Garcia were successfully shortlisted.
Of course, this can only be regarded as an inspection list, and some of these players will definitely be eliminated in the European Cup. This is a normal thing in the Spanish team where big names gather.
Aragones was the coach of Spain who took over from Seth after Portugal's European Cup failure in 2004. As we all know, Spain's failure in the European Cup in 2004 was the worst in recent years. The winger tactics and the failure of some old players
The state was widely criticized by critics. Therefore, Spain in 2006 began to become younger in both players and team style. In general, the old man was always looking for a feeling in the World Cup qualifiers. When the World Cup was about to start, he temporarily decided to use something like this.
Barcelona's 433 formation. Torres and Villa, who have performed well in the club, have been promoted to the main force. The commander of the midfield is Xavi, with Alberda in the defensive midfielder, supplemented by Cesc and Xabi Alonso.
, Senna and other defensive midfielders rotated. Spain's road to the 2006 competition was basically smooth in the group stage, except for some minor surprises against Tunisia. The 2006 national team basically inherited the mantle of 2004, striving to play fast and tactically.
Quickly pass through the midfield, quickly pass to the forward in the frontcourt, and start to counterattack from the frontcourt, always striving to fight quickly. However, it is obvious that the use of the two wingers has begun to decrease, and there are many straight balls. There is a lack of wingers
In the future, rely on the assists of the full-backs: Peña and Ramos will provide crazy assists. The pair of full-backs actually play the role of half wingers.
However, this style of play hit a wall in front of the experienced French team. Spain took advantage of its youth and took the lead after getting a penalty kick in the chaos. However, it did not slow down and continued to attack, hoping to score another goal in one fell swoop.
Defeat France. Unexpectedly, the French team stole the ball in the frontcourt and counterattacked twice to equalize the lead. In the end, they lost 1:3. The old man's on-the-spot command and substitutions were criticized.
It can be said that after 2006, the old man began to re-examine this young team and began to make new adjustments, including making the decision to completely abandon the traditional main players Raul and Joaquin and promote Inez, who was emerging in the league.
Tower and Silva began to play 442 and 4141. By the end of 2006, Spain's new lineup finally began to take shape. It was basically 4141 and 442. The core figures were Silva, Iniesta and Xavi.
Three short players, and then supplemented by midfielders like Senna/Abelda/Xabi Alonso to form a 4-man midfielder. After Villa was injured, the old man started to use 4141, and the 5-man midfielder was basically Al
Berta sits in the defensive midfielder, and then the four midfielders of Senna, Xavi, Silva, and Iniesta support the lone forward Torres at the front. Cesc Fabregas' previous performance in qualifying matches and friendly matches was very average.
So he has always been a substitute. As for the defenders, especially the left back, he began to use more stable defenders like Capdevila instead of Peña and An Lopez who like crazy assists.
It was such a system that started an undefeated journey that lasted for one and a half years. Therefore, this team was definitely not built in a day. It can be said that the foundation has been laid long ago, but some unexpected factors accelerated the running-in of the ball pair.
The first is the outbreak of Torres. He did make new progress when he went to Liverpool. In the first season, he broke Ruud van Nistelrooy's foreign aid scoring record. As Albelda fell out of favor with Valencia, Senna was promoted in the national team.
As the main defensive midfielder, Senna has been good and bad in the national team before, and his performance is not very stable. But in the end, Senna successfully integrated with the team in the competition and brought his club level to the national team. Cesc Fabregas was replaced by Wenfa this season.
Ge was pushed into a position close to the midfielder, shouldering more offensive responsibilities, and he also became an important substitute force for the team. When it came to the real competition, the coach unexpectedly did not bring a few regular substitutes from the qualifiers.
Instead, he brought in newcomers to the national team like Cazorla. These players all played an important role in the team's championship. This is the information that the prince got from the comments of later generations.
Of course, there may be some changes in all of this now, it may be big or it may be very small, and the reason is the appearance of the prince, a person who should not have appeared.
Judging from the current state of the prince, as long as Aragones doesn't make things difficult for him, he will definitely be able to occupy one of the main positions, and he is also very likely to play the role of commander in the frontcourt. No one can predict the impact of this change on
What a change Spain has brought.
This game is the 28th meeting between the two sides in history, with 11 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses. No one took advantage. Spain achieved 7 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at home. France lost only 1 game in the past 10 meetings between the two sides.
, remaining unbeaten with 7 wins and 2 draws. The last time Spain defeated France was in a warm-up match in March 2001. In fact, both sides may not care too much about this game, because it is just a warm-up match, and it is
They are not the centuries-old rivals like England and Germany who even saw red in the warm-up matches, so the result is not important. What's more, now is the time when leagues in various countries are the most intensive, and players must be properly protected. If they are injured at this time, the gain outweighs the loss.
The prince did not start the game. Although he was in extremely hot form during the training camp and was still sharp in assists and free kicks, Aragones put the prince on the bench perhaps out of distrust of the prince.
In the first half, the two sides were evenly matched. Spain had a certain advantage in possession rate, but they were unable to score goals. The French team had a strong starting lineup with all the main players, and several counterattacks were quite threatening. If it weren't for the excellent defense and Saint Cassie,
Due to poor performance, the score might be behind at halftime. What made Aragones even more upset was that the main forward Torres was injured in a fight and left the field 20 minutes into the first half, and had to be replaced by Calabash.
Villa.
During the halftime break, Aragones did not comment on the team's performance in the first half. The typical "friendly match" rhythm only lasted for one half, and the second half still required more real action.
Otherwise there is no point in warming up.
The prince came on as a substitute in the second half. This was his debut for the Spanish national team. Although he was not a starter, given the strong lineup of the Spanish team, being a substitute is something to be proud of. But the prince did not think so, he was not here to play.
Damn it, he had to participate in this year's European Cup, so this time was not left to him to relax, so the French team suffered a tragedy.
In the 51st minute, Xavi passed a long pass to Prince, who broke through along the wing. Neither Gallas nor Prince's Chelsea teammate Malouda could stop Prince's sharp breakthrough. Time after time, the French team was beaten by Prince on the wing.
It became like a sieve, and this side became a bomb hanging over the head of the French team. If Wang Ziguang broke through, the threat might not be great, but with Wang Ziguang's passing ability, the cross pass after the breakthrough rained down on France.
The team flew into the penalty area. Although most of them were destroyed by the back line led by Thuram, Villa still seized two of the opportunities and broke through the French gate. In the 80th minute, the Spanish team
Already two goals ahead.
At this time, the French team had to make changes, shifting the focus of defense to the side where Prince was wreaking havoc, and then replaced the new star Benzema, who was sleepwalking in this game, and Prince's new teammate Anelka.
Got the chance to play in the last 10 minutes.
In the 82nd minute, the prince changed his position to the middle and faced a double-team and decisively returned the ball to Xavi. However, just when he ran out of position and received the return pass, Anelka returned to defense.
Facing his teammates, a fierce tackle brought the prince to the ground. Fortunately, it was a hard injury. Although it hurt, it finally ensured a healthy body.
In order to protect the players, Aragones replaced the prince. Anyway, there was not much time, so the French team would not be able to make any big waves.
France almost scored at the last moment. In the 89th minute, Sagnol made a pass from the right, Anelka's header from 8 yards hit the crossbar, and Henry's supplementary shot from 5 yards missed the right post.
In the 92nd minute, the Spanish defense made a mistake in clearing the ball and gave Henry a chance to score. However, the Barcelona center's 14-yard push shot from the center was bravely saved by Casillas. The ball hit Juanito and almost bounced into the empty goal. In the end, Spain scored two goals.
In the victory over France, the prince's performance was considered to be good, and he was basically able to establish his main position.
