Chapter 648: The King of Strong Mouth or the Prophet?



While the two teams were taking a break, fans from both sides did not take a break. Instead, they seized the time and started arguing fiercely online and offline.

"The Spanish team is awesome and beat the French team!"

"Three consecutive championships, three consecutive championships!"

"Spain: France is the worst opponent we have ever faced in the final!"

……

Because the Spanish team has an absolute advantage, both in terms of the scene and the score.

Therefore, the fans who supported Spain completely overwhelmed the fans who supported the French team in terms of momentum.

The French fans who were scolded could only knock out their teeth and swallow their blood. With the score of 0:2, any of their sophistry seemed feeble and they could not gain any support from neutral fans at all.

"Just wait, you will know the advantages of the French team in the second half!"

In the end, they could only say such cruel words, and in their hearts they looked forward to the team's comeback in the second half and slap those who looked down on them in the face.

"Haha, are you French fans repeaters? How come you can only say this sentence over and over again?"

"The French team was strong in the second half, but was the Spanish team just a piece of paper in the second half?"

"That's right, if we continue playing like this, I doubt whether Lin Huang will score a free kick hat-trick in the World Cup!"

"Haha, don't say it, don't say it, it's really possible!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. If Lin Huang really scores three free kicks in the final, he will become a god!"

In fact, Lin Quan scored two free kicks in the first half, which was enough to shock everyone.

Therefore, many people are unwilling to believe that Lin Quan can continue to create miracles.

This kind of thing is completely unheard of.

It's very rare to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final, let alone a hat-trick from a free kick.

This is too fantasy!

……

In the commentary box of Sky Sports, Manchester United star Gary Neville read the quarrel between fans from both sides on the Internet and said with some confusion:

"Actually, wasn't this result already in everyone's predictions before the game? Spain's strong first half and France's terrifying second half. I thought everyone knew this. Why is there such a big debate?"

Martin Taylor took over the conversation and continued:

"But judging from the scene in the first half, the French team was very passive, and the Spanish team had the upper hand. This made the outside world very worried. Will the second half be the same one-sided situation as the first half?"

Martin Taylor's problem is the biggest concern for many fans. What everyone hopes to see is a close game with back-and-forth between the two sides.

Rather than like in the first half, the Spanish team bombarded the French team's goal.

Gary Neville shook his head:
"How is this possible? The physical fitness of the players cannot support them to attack in this way all the time. The Spanish team's offense in the first half was basically a chicken-blooded attack. The chicken-blooded attack can last for a while, but it cannot be maintained forever.

I think everyone should keep their hearts in their stomachs. The French team will definitely exert their strength in the second half and will definitely score goals. Maybe they can tie or even overtake the score before the final whistle sounds! "

Andy Gray couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Gary Neville's words:
"Are you so optimistic about the French team? You know, there is a guy like Lin in the Spanish team!"

Gary Neville was dismissive: "Football is a team sport, no matter how strong one person is, he can't change the final outcome!"

Unsurprisingly, Gary Neville's remarks immediately caused great controversy.

The French fans who support him think he is right. This guy is worthy of being a Manchester United legend. He just has a vision.

The Spanish fans who opposed him felt that this guy was just sensationalizing and trying to use this method to gain fame.

……

In the Spanish team's dressing room, the players are unaware of what is happening outside.

Most of them were still in a state of excitement, and the beating at the end of the first half made his blood boil, and he felt like his whole body was on fire.

"Take it easy, guys, don't get so worked up!"

Seeing this, Bosque put down his hands with a smile, indicating to the players to stay calm and reduce physical exertion as much as possible.

"Coach, I don't think we need to rest, we are in good shape now!"

The effect of chicken blood is still there, and many people even want to use this energy to defeat their opponents in one go.

"Haha, there are still forty or fifty minutes left in the second half. Now sit down and take your time to recover your strength. Stop yelling and listen to me quietly."

It's good for players to stay excited, but it's also a bad thing.

If there were no 15 minutes of intermission, the Spanish team could have used the momentum at the last moment to rush forward and fight harder. Maybe they could expand their lead again and completely defeat their opponents.

But unfortunately, the first half is over, so now we have to calm down quickly and not get too excited.

Otherwise, by the time the second half begins, their excitement has worn off, and the players will fall into a state of exhaustion after their blood has faded. If their opponents take the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, they may not be able to withstand it.

Bosque's prestige is rising, and the team's big players such as Lin Quan and Ramos are sitting and resting without speaking, and other young players have gradually stopped.

Under Del Bosque's instruction, the team doctors and physical therapists quickly performed muscle massages on David Silva and other veterans.

The physical fitness of the veterans is not as good as that of the young players, and we must try our best to help them maintain their condition. Otherwise, they will have to make substitutions soon in the second half.

"You played very well in the first half and perfectly achieved the goals we set before the game. I am proud of you!"

Bosque looked around, his eyes swept over each player, and praised the players in a restrained manner.

His tone was as calm as possible so as not to irritate the players and prevent them from calming down.

"But the game is not over yet. We cannot take it lightly. Only by maintaining the advantage until the final whistle sounds can we celebrate to the fullest."

"Before that, I hope you can maintain the momentum of the first half, keep up your efforts, play well in the second half, and don't give your opponents any chance."

After a brief moment of praise, Bosque began to beat the players, hoping to keep them alert and not to underestimate the enemy.

The French team is a slow team, and the second half of the game is destined to be more difficult than the first half. This is something he has repeatedly emphasized before the game. Del Bosque reiterates it now because he is afraid that some players will underestimate the opponent because of their lead in the first half and will not take their opponents seriously, which will lead to disaster. .

Fortunately, Spain's key players are very clear-minded and do not appear arrogant.

For example, Lin Quan, Iniesta and others.

To be honest, just as the French complained, the Spanish team's two goals in the first half were not obtained in positional battles. Strictly speaking, they did not break the opponent's defense.

Although they have an absolute advantage from the scene, this situation of gaining the upper hand and not scoring is very dangerous.

The French team's tactic today is defensive counterattack. They have an ultimate counterattack player like Mbappe in their team.

Thanks to Lin Quan's goals at two key time points, which disrupted the French team's rhythm.

Otherwise, given Spain's inability to attack for a long time in the first half and the generally impetuous mentality of the team, the opponent only needs to make a threatening counterattack to score first.

So after calming down and thinking carefully about the scene at that time, many people couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

The strength of this French team really cannot be underestimated. Who dares to underestimate them when they encounter such a powerful opponent?

At this time, the effect of the chicken blood began to fade, and many people entered the sage mode. Therefore, many people on the Spanish team felt that the French team was terrible. In this case, would it be better to play defensive counterattack in the second half?

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem possible, because in addition to counterattack players like Mbappe, the French team also has high center forwards like Giroud on the front line.

In addition, the French team's overall physical confrontation ability is much stronger than that of the Spanish team, so if they really have to fight a positional battle, the opponent will not be afraid at all, and they will even be more comfortable with it.

On the other hand, in Spain, most of their players are more accustomed to controlling the ball at their own feet, and are not used to the ball being at the opponent's feet and their own side being passively beaten.

Of course Bosque understands these principles, so Bosque did not make a 180-degree change in the team's tactics, but made slight adjustments based on the original tactics.

The specific strategy is to pass and control the ball as safely as possible, and not take risks easily unless there is an excellent opportunity in front of you.

The Spanish team now has two goals in hand. What they have to do in the second half is to try their best to ensure that their own goal does not concede a goal.

Of course, it is not possible not to attack. If the opponent's goal cannot be threatened for a long time, the opponent's defender will definitely press forward to participate in the attack.

Therefore, attacking at the appropriate time and continuously exerting pressure on the opponent so that they dare not invest a large number of troops in attacking can effectively reduce one's own defensive pressure.

Passing and controlling football itself is a defensive tactic. Control the ball at your feet. If the opponent cannot get the ball, there will naturally be no threat to your own goal.

If the opponent is pressing hard, you can use the passing method to bring out the opponent's players, leaving the opponent's defense empty and creating opportunities for your own offensive players to counterattack.

This tactic is called pass-control counterattack!
……

Meanwhile, in the France dressing room.

Deschamps began to focus on explaining the tactics of the second half to several players in the frontcourt. Among them, Griezmann and Mbappe were the players he focused on. Deschamps held the hands of these two people and talked about them for a long time. He couldn't wait to hear them. Instill all the thoughts in your mind into these two people.

The first task for the French team in the second half was to score goals, and the burden of scoring fell on these two people.

The French team is currently two goals behind, and they must recover the ball before the end of the game or even overtake their opponents.

Otherwise, they would have to watch the other party step on them and win the Hercules Cup.

For any team that reaches the finals, they are definitely here to compete for the championship, no one comes for the runner-up place.

The French team has not won the World Cup for 20 years. This year's championship is the best proof of their return as kings.

"The opponent's defense was not strong. We had created opportunities in the first half, but unfortunately we failed to seize them in the end. But we must not make any more mistakes in the second half. We must seize every opportunity that finally appears. Do you understand?"

Deschamps emphasized his tone. He did not want to see players waste opportunities on the court.

There is not much time left for the French team, and they do not have many opportunities to waste.

"Got it, coach!"

Mbappe, Griezmann and others nodded solemnly, taking the coach's instructions to heart.

Even if Deschamps doesn't emphasize these, they will seize every opportunity as much as possible.

Who doesn’t want to be the team’s hero?
Especially on a big stage like the World Cup finals, where billions of people around the world are paying attention, scoring a goal here is more effective than scoring 10 or even 100 goals in other games of the league and the national team.

On the contrary, if you stretch your hips here, the image of a weak shrimp in the competition will be deeply rooted in people's hearts. No matter how outstanding your performance is in the future, it will be difficult to wash it away.

……

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the field again.

When the players from both sides passed through the player tunnel, many players from the Spanish team were observing the status of the French team players.

They clearly remembered that at the end of the first half, the French team was generally in a dejected state.

But after a fifteen-minute break at halftime, no one knew what the other team's head coach had fed them in the locker room. When these players appeared again, their dejected state disappeared.

Instead, there is a state of being suppressed for a long time and ready to go.

Seeing the state of the opponent's players, Lin Quan looked at each other with Busquets, Pique, Ramos and others.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the second half of the game might not be easy to play.

Beep!
As the referee's whistle sounded, the second half of the 2018 Russia World Cup final between Spain and France officially began.

The two sides changed venues and the French team got the ball.

Giroud kicked the ball to Griezmann. Griezmann didn't waste a second and knocked the ball directly to the wing and handed it to Mbappe who was about to rush forward.

Although there was no problem with the opponent's defensive position, Mbappe didn't care and rushed forward with the ball.

David Silva, who was facing him, was very calm and knew that he was not as fast as his opponent, so he stuck in his position, fought and retreated, and waited for the response from nearby teammates.

But Mbappe accelerated, rushed from the side, and continued to stride towards the Spanish team's bottom line.

At the same time, on the court, the French team's entire formation was pressing forward. Giroud in the middle was like a moving tank, rushing towards the Spanish team's penalty area.

Griezmann, Pogba, Kante, Matuidi and others followed him, lined up and charged towards the Spanish team's half.

The French team immediately accelerated the pace of the game at the beginning of the second half! (End of chapter)
