It didn't leave much time for the prince to feel sad. The second game of the group stage against the Swedish team was about to start soon.
There wasn't much to watch in this game. Except for Zlatan Ibrahimović, who had a big mouth, and made a fuss before the game, it was relatively harmonious in other aspects. Even the head coach of the Swedish team, Lagerback, was in the game.
The previous press conference also stated that even substitute players for the Spanish team can start for the Swedish team.
Of course, his statement is not wrong. In fact, Spain's substitute players can become starters in other teams, not just in the Swedish team.
Ibrahimovic, a talented player, has gradually become the core player of the Swedish team. Even the veteran Ljungberg and the evergreen Larsson who has returned to the national team cannot suppress this arrogant player within the team.
Young man. Although most of his teammates do not agree with Ibrahimovic's remarks, considering the harmony within the team, they can only continue to play like this. Of course, if the Swedish team does not achieve good results in the end, then it can be
The blame is all placed on Ibrahimovic, who allowed him to provoke the powerful Matador Legion rashly and without good reason.
The Spanish team's starting lineup has not changed from the first game, and Aragones still believes in his carefully selected lineup.
"Hey, big man, I heard that you are not convinced by me? Do you want to embarrass me by performing well in this game?" The prince was very excited when he saw Ibrahimovic's arrogant nostrils in the sky during the warm-up.
unhappy.
"Do you really think you are invincible? It's hard to lose the game and go home crying to your mother. Let me tell you, today I want to show you what it means to be a top superstar." But Ibrahimovic didn't have stage fright at all. Since he has been provoked
If he is a prince, then he will naturally have to hold on hard at this time, although he himself does not have much confidence that he can defeat the prince.
"Well, I hope you can perform well. Don't lose your troops at the expense of your wife. It will be embarrassing, but no one will sympathize with you." The prince put down his harsh words and slipped back to his own half to start warming up.
The teammates were very curious about what kind of shameless thing this guy Wang Zi had just done when he ran into the opponent's half. He had a fight with Ibrahimovic for a while and then came back as if nothing had happened. Could it be that he was trying to develop a new friend? This guy just made a fuss outside.
The big Swedish guy who hit him successfully aroused the prince's interest? Well, it's not impossible, maybe the prince likes this kind of tall and powerful guy.
The game started quickly. Spain took advantage of the kick-off opportunity and directly launched a fierce attack. Although they defeated their opponents by a big score in the first game, the Spanish team did not have an advantage on the scene. The continuous possession rate was absolutely absolute.
The Russian team's statistics of suppressing their opponents also failed to take advantage of them, so this game is also the best opportunity to prove the strength of the team's play style.
Xavi did not adjust slowly in the midfield, but directly hit the ball to the wing. The fast-paced start made the Swedish team very uncomfortable.
Although Silva was not as popular as he would be in the Manchester City team in later generations, his superstar status was fully revealed at this time. Although the first game was due to heavy rain and the slippery field, he was not able to perform at a high level.
But this game is different. With Silva on full fire and Iniesta on the other side, the two wings of the Spanish team are completely the most luxurious wings in the world. Once they fly, no one can resist the bullfight.
The side attack of the soldiers.
Silva received Xavi's pass and started racing wildly on the wing. The wildness of his momentum was astonishing to those who saw it. Even the prince, who was also able to perform speeding stunts on the wing, felt that his breakthrough had gradually left the earth.
The shadow of the Swedish team is moving towards the footsteps of aliens. It is difficult to say that the Swedish team's right midfielder and right back can definitely be restrained. Coupled with Xavi's support and Prince's cover, the entire left wing has become
Into Silva's back garden, you can come when you want and leave when you want.
After a two-on-one with Xavi, Silva chose to cut inside, dribbling the ball in a one-stop motion and taking a sudden and weird shot. Although he failed to score a goal, it also allowed the team that had just started to score.
The game suddenly became passionate, and all the fans at the scene witnessed a very threatening attack before they could get into the mood.
Silva's shot hit a little higher and missed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline. People couldn't help but sigh, what a great opportunity.
The prince is not very active at the beginning. Although there are task restrictions, the prince still wants to watch Ibrahimovic perform. As long as he is better than Ibrahimovic, the rest can be left to his teammates to perform. It is not easy for everyone.
, after a hard-working season, I still have to play for the national team, and I am in a good mood even if I have a good performance.
The next game was a little dull. The Spanish team relied on its strong strength to occupy the advantage on the court, but maybe because it was not particularly exciting, although the offense was threatening, it was not able to take the lead; while the Swedish team was ambitious.
They had great ambitions to win the Spanish team, but their strength was there. Under the Spanish team's ball-controlling style of play, they couldn't stretch their hands and feet at all. A feeling of powerlessness enveloped the players' hearts, and they gradually became timid and overwhelmed by the Spanish team.
Suppressed, the occasional counterattack opportunities were destroyed by the vigilance of the Spanish defense.
In the 8th minute, Xavi sent an overhead ball from the midfielder. Silva succeeded in countering offside, but this time he chose a cross pass from the left rib of the penalty area. Not only did the Swedish team's defenders have no defense, even Torres of his own team did not expect him.
When a ball is passed like this, no one on either side touches the ball and it flies directly out of the baseline.
In the 10th minute, the Swedish team had a chance to counterattack. Ljungberg dribbled the ball from the left and cut in to the left rib and shot a right-footed shot from 16 meters away. The well-prepared Casillas saved it accurately. This veteran has just ended this season.
During his playing career at Arsenal, he moved to West Ham United, which is also in the Premier League. However, due to injuries, he only played a few games throughout the season, which was far from his peak level during his time with the Gunners.
In the match between the Prince and West Ham United, Ljungberg was unable to play due to injury. This also made the Prince lament that it is too late for a hero. He originally wanted to play against him to reminisce about his past life.
But there is no such opportunity. Now it is really good to be able to compete in the European Cup.
The two sides went back and forth, and the game gradually entered the state. Minutes into the first half, the Spanish team finally scored.
Harvey's left corner kick was passed into the penalty area, and Silva passed the ball back from the left baseline. The prince acted calmly after receiving the ball. There were two defensive players in front of him. It may not be a good idea if he chooses to do it by himself.
At this time, he also noticed the golden boy who was ambushing near the goal. Therefore, the prince passed the ball across the ball and accurately handed the ball to Torres in the dense crowd.
Congratulations, Torres really doesn’t know how the prince can pass such a beautiful and penetrating through ball. It seems that this has always been his signature move. I thought he would not be able to play in the forward position after he moved to the forward position.
There was such a wonderful pass, but today he unexpectedly became the beneficiary. After a slight adjustment, he easily pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal with his left foot 6 meters in front of the goal. Spain 1-.
Torres carried the prince on his back and started running wildly. He did not expect that the prince's plan to assist him would come true so quickly, and he was extremely excited.
The prince is more tragic. He seems to have always been the victim of celebrations. He hates this kind of sexual contact without technical content.
On the other hand, Ibrahimovic looked at the celebrating Spanish players and felt aggrieved. He was wondering why his teammates could not give him the greatest support. It was really unfair that there was no environment that could accommodate a genius like him.
This goal also broke the situation on the field. The Spanish team, which was in a dominant position and could not score any points, could finally relax and control the ball more easily.
After the restart, the Swedish team launched a counterattack impatiently. After all, they were already behind. If they couldn't fight back in the first half, they would really be in a dead end in the second half.
In the 8th minute, Larson attracted the defense from the front of the penalty area and pushed the ball in. Elmand inserted his right foot 1 meter into the right rib and shot into the near corner and hit the side netting.
In the 31st minute, Ibrahimovic sent an overhead ball from the midfielder. Larsson countered offside and successfully inserted into the penalty area. He shot directly with his right foot from 1 meter away from the left rib and missed the far corner.
In the 34th minute, perhaps Aragones was not satisfied with the defense of the back line, so Puyol, who was not injured or sick, was replaced by another Valencia player Albiol. Now
The Spanish center back has become a Valencia combination. Perhaps the tacit understanding between the two can make the team's defense impregnable.
In the 3rd minute, Swedish team Svensson's midfielder took a free kick into the penalty area. Helmand turned his back to the goal and headed the ball 1 meter away. The continuous attack for such a period of time was a bit too much for the Spanish team's defense. Although Sweden
There is a certain gap between the strength of the team and the Spanish team, but if they really put down their burdens and fight hard, Spain will not definitely be able to take advantage.
