Del Bosque adjusted his mentality and came to the press conference. Looking at the darkness in the audience, he said calmly: "This is a thrilling game. We did not expect to fall behind 0-2!
In this completely unfavorable situation, we chose to unite, take responsibility together, and complete an epic counterattack together!"
Although his voice was calm, the content of his words was anything but calm.
"The German team is very strong. I said this before the game and I will say it again now."
Del Bosque exhaled and said: "They had already entered the finals, but we were unwilling to fall at the last step, so we chose to fight back.
In the end we succeeded, this is football, this is life.
Life cannot be smooth sailing. We will always encounter many difficulties and accidents. What we can do is to quickly adjust our mentality, adjust the direction of progress, believe in ourselves, and move forward firmly!
We are lucky, we finally overcame the difficulties and had the last laugh!
Thank you to the fans who came to cheer for us and to the fans who supported us on the TV. Their shouts and support gave us the idea of 'never give up' and allowed us to finally win!
Thanks to all the players, they gave me hope, they are a group of warriors and fighters, they are the best players in my heart!"
Then he began to praise the players: "Although Reina conceded two goals, he made many great saves and was the main contributor to tonight's victory.
Ramos has played the role of the backbone of the defense, but the two full-backs still need to be strengthened. This is a problem we have to solve later.
Alonso is very important to us. With him on the court, you will have a "stable" feeling.
Busquets has been as stable as ever and is the cornerstone of our team.
Iniesta told us with his goals that he is the most important player on this team.
Although Costa did not score tonight, he completed the task of being the fulcrum of the frontcourt, like a nail, standing on the German team's defense line and providing support for our offense.
As for Li..."
When he mentioned Li Chuanqi, he paused.
"You can always trust Li. He can always give you incredible goals and always bring you hope when you are in despair. To be honest, he did not fully demonstrate his strength today. The German team restricted him too much.
, compressing the space for him to play.
But even in this situation, he still scored two goals!
At the end, when he got back up and got behind the football, I didn't think we were going to go into overtime.
In the end, he scored the free kick and sealed the game!"
Del Bosque sighed: "Having such a player is a blessing. I can now understand Simeone's joy. To use a saying from fans - he is omnipotent!"
Bosque finished his speech, and the audience burst into applause.
These applause are full of respect for this old man who has led Spanish football to the top of the world.
These applauses are also given to successful people. Successful people are always worthy of respect. They have put in sweat and wisdom that others cannot imagine for success.
When it came to the question and answer session, a Brazilian took the lead in asking: "Mr. Del Bosque, what do you think is the biggest reason why Spain can come back and win?"
Bosque thought for a while and said: "Don't give up! Don't give up under any difficulties!"
“After trailing 2-0, many people thought we had lost, but we felt we still had a chance because the whistle at the end of the game hadn’t sounded yet!
And in that case, if we don’t fight back, are we going to be helpless?
Human history is a history of resistance, which is the gene of mankind."
The audience burst into warm applause again.
A reporter from the British Times asked: "Mr. Del Bosque, for what reason did you exclude Li from the starting lineup? Because he has recovered his health! Aren't you worried about half-time and not being able to let him find the feeling of scoring goals?
?”
Bosque seemed to have guessed that someone would ask this question. He looked at the Times reporter who asked the question and said: "I know many people will ask this question.
The first half was a war of attrition for both sides. Li had just recovered and his physical function had not yet reached its peak. It would be irresponsible to let him start under such circumstances.
As for the short time you mentioned, which will affect his condition, don't worry about that. Since he was injured, he has only played in the second half.
Everyone has seen that his appearance as a substitute did not affect his condition and he scored important goals!
The facts are here, why should I worry?
The only thing I have to do is to appease him and tell him that the second half is the decisive battle. I hope to see a physically fit and fighting Li at the decisive moment!
He found me at noon today and hopes to start today."
Discussions immediately broke out in the audience.
After the discussion subsided, Bosque continued: "But I didn't agree.
I told him that I don’t want him to miss the most critical game. Our goal is not to win this semi-final, but to compete for the championship.”
What does this mean? Is this semi-final not important?
How to win the semifinals, and how to compete for the championship?
Or does Del Bosque have firm confidence to defeat the German team?
The reporters' minds were full of questions, and they felt that this sentence needed to be thought about carefully.
A reporter from Turin Sports News in Italy asked: "Mr. Bosque, will you let Li enter the starting lineup in the final?"
What are these words?
It was the finals, and I would definitely be in the starting lineup...
The reporters shook their heads. Damn it, a chance to ask questions was wasted.
Del Bosque's answer surprised reporters: "It depends on Li's status in training in the next few days. I can't answer your question yet."
ah!……
Damn it, are you going to let Li be the substitute to the end?!
Del Bosque, aren't you afraid of Lee's rebound and the dissatisfaction of sponsors and fans?
It is said that many Spanish sponsors expressed dissatisfaction with Bosque's personnel.
As for the fans... there will definitely be many Spanish fans who will criticize Bosque.
A reporter from Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo asked: "Mr. Bosque, the performance of Spain's defense has been ups and downs. Does this have anything to do with Pique's absence?"
Del Bosque's expression remained calm: "The defense is not a problem for any one person, it is a problem for the whole. Even if Pique is healthy, it cannot be said that this problem can be solved.
Take the first game against the Netherlands as an example. We conceded three goals, which was also the most goals conceded in this competition.
In that game, Pique played the entire game.
If he can solve the defensive problem in the team, are the three goals conceded a problem with the forward?"
"coax!……"
There was laughter in the audience, and the World Sports reporter sat down with a gloomy face.
