After the opening ceremony, the rest of the competition went on step by step. Spain's Group H competition only held its first round on June 16.
The prince watched this game from the bench. He really wanted to know whether his pair of little wings would bring about huge changes and whether the result of Spain's first defeat would be changed.
In the starting lineup, Spain hid Torres, who had fully recovered from injury, and continued the previous single forward formation. Villa continued to serve as the center, while the Matador Legion ranked its strongest lineup in the remaining positions. The Swiss team
The rest of the team attacked, with main forward Frey and midfielder Behrami both starting due to injuries.

Villa, the guy who occupies the main position of the prince, now has eyes as wide as the Tianshan Mountains. Of course, he is not for other reasons, but because he is proud of being the prince's replacement.[
In this world, Villa is still the world's top striker. He has just transferred to the giant Barcelona, but he does not have the status in the national team that the prince had in his previous life, because the main position here belongs to the prince.
The prince has become the most outstanding star on the planet. It is generally accepted in football circles that as long as Spain wins the World Cup, the prince will be officially crowned the king of football. No one will question it.
Although Villa is very strong, he is not one of the top players in the world after all, and there is a certain gap between him and the prince. So now that he has occupied the position of the prince, he is very happy because he feels that he has the strength to replace the prince.
"Haha, Jose, you don't have to play. I will completely disappoint my opponents. Well, I want to be the top scorer. This is my goal." Before the game, Villa and the prince said something audible.
What's inexplicable is that he is a young man with two ears, very similar to Ramos.
"Well, your chance is only in the knockout rounds anyway. How many goals you can score depends on your ability, but I'm not optimistic about you." The prince couldn't help pouring cold water on you. You know, in this World Cup in the previous life, Spain's score was
The number of balls is simply ridiculous.
The first game of the group stage was completely defeated without a goal, and the second game was a 2:0 victory over Honduras. This was already the game with the largest goal difference in Spain, and of course, it was one of the games with the most goals, because in the next game
When playing against Chile, Spain only scored two goals, and the goal was also scored by the opponent.
What is even more impressive is that in the following three knockout games plus the final, a total of four games, Spain won every game by one goal. It can be said that Spain is the least like a champion.
It can be seen that Spain's scoring ability is not as strong as imagined. Although the two forward players are good, their ability to make the final decision at critical moments is not obvious.
Villa was very dismissive. In his opinion, the opponents in the group stage were simply local chickens and dogs. Why not let him take everything he wants!
The prince shook his head, maybe it would be good to give them some lessons, so that the Spanish team members can correct their mentality and stop acting like they are the second and third child.
The warm-up was over and the game was about to begin. The Spanish team took the first step in the campaign, but the prince could only sit on the bench and watch his teammates perform.
The Spanish team launched a fierce attack at the beginning of the game, but the Swiss team was not taken seriously by them. It was a quick victory and they could take a good rest.
In the 4th minute, the Spanish team won a free kick near the midfield, but Xavi's pass into the penalty area was cleared by the defender first.
The Swiss team is very self-aware. They know that fighting Spain will only lead to a dead end, so they put most of their energy on defense in this game. As for counterattack, if there is no chance, they will not force it. Chapter 2
In the 10th minute, the Spanish team got a very good chance to score. Villa got the ball in the penalty area on the left side. He dunked past the defender who was marking him, but unfortunately the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.
Spain soon made a comeback. Silva got the ball from the right and broke into the penalty area to shoot. However, the angle was too right and Benaglio held him firmly.
In the 19th minute, Ramos received a pass from Pique on the right and passed the opponent's defender and shot directly wide.
Although the Spanish team took the initiative in the first 20 minutes, facing Switzerland's iron defense, the game went very dull.
At this time, the TV broadcast focused on the prince on the Spanish bench. The Spanish superstar's expression was very serious. I don't know if it was because he knew about the injury or because of the poor performance of his teammates.
The Spanish team continues to suppress its opponents in possession of the ball. Even if it does not have many chances, it still has to control the ball and not give its opponents a chance.[
In the 24th minute, Spain played a beautiful match. Iniesta got the ball outside the penalty area and kicked it directly. The ball was saved by Benaglio again, but it returned to Iniesta's feet like a table tennis ball. Barcelona
The midfielder was not greedy for credit and immediately passed the ball into the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Pique made a fake shot past the opponent's defender, but the subsequent shot was blocked by Benaglio who struck out in time.
The most outstanding player of the Swiss team in this game is definitely their goalkeeper. Without his heroic performance, the Swiss team may have fallen behind by more than one goal.
Only in the 26th minute of the game did the Swiss team get the first shot opportunity of the game.
Xavi made a mistake in stopping the ball and raised his foot too high during the counter-attack, and was awarded a foul by the referee. The Swiss team won a free kick 25 meters in front of the penalty area, but Ziegler's direct and powerful shot was blocked by Casillas.
In the 30th minute, Silva got the ball in the frontcourt and passed the ball behind the Swiss defense. Iniesta successfully got the ball in an offside move and was knocked down by Grihidin. Spain won a free kick at the top of the penalty area. Grihidin was knocked down.
A yellow card was shown, but Villa's direct shot was blocked by the wall.
The Swiss team has reached the finals of two consecutive World Cups, which proves that they are not just one-size-fits-all. Their lineup also has some players who have played in the five major leagues, such as Senderos, Lichtsteiner, etc.
For example, Inler has very strong strength. After withstanding Spain's fierce attack, he gradually launched his own counterattack, and it was very sharp.
However, although Spain did not show its best form, it was still the European champion after all. It did a good job in defense and never allowed the Swiss team to succeed in their counterattack.
In the 36th minute, bad news came from the Swiss team. The backbone of the defense, Senderos, was injured during the scramble and had to be replaced. This was extremely bad for the Swiss team. The Swiss defender accidentally knocked down his teammate during the tackle.
Hurt yourself.
Substitutions due to injuries in the first half were very demoralizing. Taking advantage of the Swiss team's downturn, the Spanish team showed no mercy and launched an even more intense offensive.
In the 43rd minute, Iniesta received a cross pass from Villa in front of the penalty area and shot over the top.
In the 45th minute, Villa received a long pass from his teammate and broke into the penalty area. However, after passing the defender, he did not hit the goal and instead chose to cross. Unfortunately, he was outflanked and the Spanish team once again missed the opportunity.
Although Spain continued to pose threats, due to the limited time left in the first half, the half-time break was entered without waiting for any success. The two sides were temporarily tied 0:0 in the first half.
The prince looked at his dejected teammates and couldn't help but smile a little in his heart. These guys were still arrogant when they came on the field, but now they have become like this. They don't know that the title of European champion cannot scare people.
At least the Swiss team is an example.
However, the prince still comforted his teammates. If it continues like this in the second half, it may not be a good thing for Spain.
Sure enough, Spain continued its unique tactics in the second half, but it was indeed the Swiss team that scored first or the only goal in the game.
Spain's offense suppressed the Swiss team. In the 47th minute, Harvey's tactical corner kick was passed low to the front of the penalty area. Alonso shot directly over the top. Two minutes later, Busquets received a header from Harvey's cross and was lobbed by Benali.
Otto goes to the bottom line.
If you fail to grasp two good opportunities in a row, such a dishonorable thing will naturally bring about bad results.
In the 52nd minute, the Swiss team took the lead in scoring.
The Swiss team's goalkeeper launched an attack with a long pass. Deldy York faced Casillas alone and fell down in the fight. During the chaos, Fernandez's shot was blocked by Pique. Then he cleverly scored again with a supplementary shot. With this goal, Switzerland
Leading 1:0 against the European champion Spanish team, which is recognized as the strongest team in the world.
The members of the Swiss team couldn't believe what was happening on the field. Even Fernandez, who scored the goal, was stunned on the spot and didn't know what happened. Then he screamed and started running around the field to vent his excitement.
Less than half of the stands were fans of the Swiss team, but after Switzerland scored, they completely suppressed the Spanish fans. Cheers, applause and the chorus of the Swiss national anthem filled the sky. What a great goal it was.
The Spanish players also couldn't believe the fact before them. They were so arrogant that they were scored by a weak team that they didn't take seriously. Is this the myth of diaosi's counterattack? [
Bosque looked at the dazed players and couldn't help but yell and curse loudly. These guys are still in a daze at this time, so it's more important to restart the game quickly.
After the restart, the Spanish team became anxious. A draw would have been acceptable, but now they were lagging behind. This made them feel embarrassed, so they launched a fierce attack on the Swiss team's gate.
In the 60th minute, Ramos rushed into the penalty area and headed the ball slightly higher again.
In the 61st minute, Harvey made a pass in front of the penalty area. Benaglio blocked the ball before Villa got it. Then in the 62nd minute, Bosque replaced Silva and Busquets with Navas and Torres.
Give it a try.
The prince looked at the chaotic Spanish team and felt a little uncomfortable, because he found that the team seemed to be only good at playing downwind football. If they fell behind a bit, they might not be able to display their full strength.
Time passed little by little, and the impatient Spanish team faced the Swiss team that was clinging to the victory. They had lost their sense of control and their offense was extremely chaotic. In the end, they were unable to equalize the score when the game was over.
After the extra long stoppage time, the European champion Spain lost sadly in its World Cup debut. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian. Your monthly vote is my biggest motivation.
