The final score of the game was: 1. At 8 minutes into the game, Spain's golden boy also scored. The former Spanish team's number one striker finally showed his killer qualities, beating Aaron
Suo's extremely spinning corner kick went into the Russian goal.
Russia's goal was a consolation goal at the last moment of the game. The Spanish players had even given up on defense. After all, they were already leading by a big score. It is not a good thing to push the opponent too hard. It is not wise to make enemies all over the world.
This kind of behavior can sometimes leave a little bit of trouble to the opponent, so that when they meet in the future, they won't get angry with each other.
In this way, Spain defeated its opponents in the first group match of this European Cup, laying a solid foundation for qualifying from the group. Although the team's condition is not outstanding, it is full of offensive power. Presumably as the game progresses, Spain will
The team can get more and more into the state and can fight any opponent with its strong strength.
As the game came to an end, all of Europe exclaimed "Wolf is coming".
No one could have imagined that Spain, the world-famous king of qualifiers, would show super strength at the beginning of this cup. Many media magazines that were not optimistic about Spain are now in chaos. Russia is not a traditional country.
A strong team, but no one can deny the huge steps that the Russian team has made in these years. The free kick team in this cup must not be fully sure of the giant bear of Ares in the north. However, it is such a Russian team that is abruptly
Being beaten by an unfavorable team like Spain was extremely cruel.
Major sports magazines have written articles with titles such as "Callejon's hat trick, striker performance, Spain beat Russia". The eyes of the whole world are focused on this game, although fans also like to see it
Similar to the strong dialogue between the Netherlands and Italy, but goals can ignite the passion of fans even more. Who wants to watch a boring game without a goal?
However, even as major media outlets are singing praises for the Spanish team, there are always people who find other ways to attract attention with their unique viewpoints.
Some non-mainstream media, such as The Sun, which rely on gossip or negative news to support sales, began to use some low-level means to describe the Spanish team's victory as a victory in order to attract the public's attention.
"The Sun": Perfect quick counterattack, perfect midfield organization, perfect smooth cooperation, perfect Callejon... There are indeed many perfections worth writing about in the first game of the Matador Legion, but behind the perfection is
It’s easy to overlook flaws, which is the most fatal part.
Spain's first problem is of course defense. There are big problems in midfield defense and back line. Aragones' tactics arrange for Senna to serve as the single midfielder, while Xavi, Iniesta and Silva are technical
Although Xavi has a certain defensive ability, Senna's performance in the midfielder position was still weak in today's game. In the first half, Russia's fierce attack continued to create threats, advancing layer by layer and finding many gaps in front of the Spanish defense.
In the second half, although Senna was brave, he could not cover everything, and the shortcomings of the midfield defense were undoubtedly exposed. Fortunately, Russia did not seize the opportunity. In the second half, they were exhausted and did not take full advantage of the loopholes in the Spanish midfield.
In addition to midfield defense, Spain's defense seems to have more problems. Russia today broke through the goal guarded by Casillas through a header relay from a corner kick. Spain's poor air defense gave the Russian big man a chance. Russia had no chance in the entire game.
Most of them played high and high, and it was not until the last stage that they woke up from a dream and played a lob, and scored a goal from a corner kick. Unfortunately, everything came too late. Puyol and Marchena were not too outstanding in stature, and they could defend against the air.
His ability is limited and he has flaws in preventing high-altitude balls. When he conceded the corner kick, Capdevila neglected Pavlyuchenko, and Ramos failed to help defend.
The two full-backs Ramos and Capdevila are both assist-oriented. Although there were not many assists in this game, the gap left behind was still obvious. Especially the brave Ramos was more active in assisting, and the right winger
He was repeatedly beaten by Russia in the gaps, so Senna had to defend more on the right, and Puyol often filled in on the right side. Puyol once angrily criticized Ramos for assisting too frequently in the game, and the loopholes were too big, which was enough to show that
The right channel brings pressure to the Spanish defense.
In addition to defensive risks, Aragones' team poses little threat in positional offense. In today's game, Spain's counterattack was impressive, but the success rate of positional attack organization was not high. It often involved multiple back-and-forth kicks in the midfield and backcourt.
Unable to find gaps, the final passing and cooperation could not form a good shooting opportunity. Xavi, Senna and Iniesta were impeccable in picking up the ball and passing the ball in the midfield, but neither the wing nor the center moved forward.
The inability to form better opportunities will undoubtedly become another major hidden danger for Spain's future progress.
Defending champion Greece's defense is amazing, and Sweden's height and header ability are well known to the world. Although Spain won a big victory at the beginning, the road to the group stage in the future may not be smooth sailing. Coach Aragones still faces many challenges
The problem is, there are still many challenges in the Matadors' triumphant progress. According to this situation, qualifying for the group may be the end of Spain's European Cup journey.
Although the comments in "The Sun" are negative, they are at least satisfactory. However, there is a local Spanish media who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos by breaking the internal news about the Spanish team.
"Daily Sports": The shadow of the big victory, the internal strife in Spain, the beginning or the end, rebirth or destruction
In Spain's 1-1 victory over Russia, forward Jose Callejon scored three goals in a row and was in high spirits. However, his strike partner Fernando Torres was much more depressed. Although he assisted Callejon's first goal and scored in the second half
He also scored a goal and his performance was very exciting, but compared with his new partner, the golden boy's starlight dimmed a lot.
As the team's first forward in the past, Torres could be said to be loved by all, but now he has to turn into a role that is almost a passer-by, completely overshadowed by Callejon's light.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. When two outstanding players come together, they may have a positive chemical reaction, but they may also have a negative internal strife. Spain's two talented forwards seem to be typical representatives of the latter.
Although Torres assisted Callejon to complete the first goal, the two had almost no decent cooperation in the following games. Even if they did, they were just pretending to show it to outsiders, but in fact it was not the case in their hearts.
Golden boy Torres will not tolerate another forward taking away the position of the number one striker of the No. 1 Bulldogs, while Callejon is determined to replace the golden boy and become the core of the Spanish team's offense. The contradiction has been revealed and is irreconcilable.
Next, it depends on how coach Aragones makes a decision. If he continues to use two people as the starter, it is very likely that the team will be destroyed. It is a wise choice to give up one of them. Who will he choose?
Of course, Zhisou has more than one problem to consider. The relationship with another player on the team is also a problem that he needs to solve.
Just halfway through the first half, the old coach made a tactical adjustment and replaced Barcelona's midfield brain Xavi, replaced by Liverpool's midfield core Alonso. We have reasons why this is a
Tactical substitution, but for Harvey this is nothing short of a shame.
Whether in Barcelona or the Spanish team, he is the well-deserved core of the midfield organizer. His status is unshakable. Even Xiaofa, who became a top superstar at Arsenal, cannot let him give up his core position. However,
The coach did not consider the players' feelings at all and replaced Xavi without mercy, which made the Barcelona midfielder feel embarrassed.
At the end of the game, the depressed "Ventilator" simply ignored the outstretched hand of coach Aragones. Everyone knew this, which made people suspect that there was a rift between him and the old coach.
The team's coach and core organization are at odds with each other. One of the most taboo things on the football field actually happened in the Spanish team. If a team without cohesion can achieve such results, I think everyone doesn't need us to remind them at all.
.
"I understand that the player is angry and I support him, but it is important to resolve this issue afterwards. These are issues that should be dealt with in the dressing room... This kind of thing cannot stay like this, we cannot let this problem continue."
Although coach Aragones was the first to clarify the misunderstanding to the public after the game, is the reality really what he imagined?
In order to comfort his teammates, Callejon rushed to the sidelines after completing his hat trick and went straight to Xavi who had been replaced to hug him. This is obviously the support of Chelsea's new core for his teammates and his silent support for Aragones.
Boycott. The coach also said that this scene showed the team's cohesion and was a typical example of telling lies and fooling the public.
"I understand that players will be angry when they are substituted, and I will be the same, but the atmosphere in the team is very good." Will his remarks be followed by others?
Aragones praised Xavi's performance on the court, especially his huge role in the team's offensive and defensive transitions, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xavi's performance in this game is not very outstanding, maybe in the next game
Then we may see the sequelae of this game. Torres lost his main position and Xavi lost his main position, but they were replaced by some other obedient good boys. As a coach, Aragones will definitely not let
past players who dared challenge his authority.
The Spanish team is facing the danger of falling apart. Perhaps ending the group stage matches as soon as possible and returning home as soon as possible is what they should do. (To be continued.
