Chapter 243 Third place match
After David Villa scored to break the deadlock, Ukrainian coach Blokhin looked quite helpless on the sidelines.

As the weaker side, they definitely hope to defend as long as possible. After all, apart from the "nuclear warhead" Andrei Shevchenko, the Ukrainian team has no other killer moves to speak of. After losing the ball at this moment, They can't rush to equalize the score.

If the defense is turned into an offense so quickly, the second conceded goal will probably come very quickly.

and so.

Blokhin decided to let the team continue to defend for a while and see what happens.

At least the players have to get into the rhythm of the game, and then start blowing the clarion call for counterattack. Otherwise, the midfield organization will be very chaotic at the moment, and there will be no way to provide Andrei Shevchenko with any powerful attack. support.

"The midfield of the Spanish national team is really good..."

While drinking the Chinese Moutai wine introduced by Diego, Caesar sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that such a strong midfielder missed the final. If Bosque figured it out earlier, he could have given up the previous set of assists 4-3-3 in the middle, 4-4-2 to strengthen the control of the midfield, and strengthen the back and forth of the two wingers, then they should be the team that entered the final!"

"How can there be so many ifs?"

Diego shrugged helplessly, and even wanted to complain: If there is an if, Chinese football may still be saved...

After the Spanish team opened the scoring, their strong midfield control completely took over the rhythm of the game.

Even Luis Garcia, who is in charge, has quite delicate footwork. He and Iniesta stand in the middle, and together with Reyes and Joaquin, the two wing players recovered their positions. After getting closer to the middle, any The five Ukrainian midfielders continued to use their bodies to fight against the press, and they were still able to firmly control the ball at their feet.

"This match, it is estimated that the suspense will soon be lost."

Caesar shrugged helplessly: "Although the physical confrontation of the Ukrainian team is better than that of the Spanish team, their pressing is more based on rough fouls and obvious small moves to prevent the Spanish team from attacking. The most helpless thing is that Ukraine The team has used all kinds of martial arts, but they haven't been able to stop the Spanish team's midfield pass."

"Yes!"

Diego nodded noncommittally: "According to the development of this situation, the Spanish team's second goal is probably coming soon."

As soon as Diego finished speaking, Joaquin, the sideman of the Spanish team, suddenly passed the ball through the crotch, took the ball out directly, and sprinted forward with the ball at the first time.

Born in 81, this winger has just entered the golden period of his career. His explosive power, combination of man and ball, and work with his feet are among the best players in the Iberian Peninsula!
Since the Ukrainian team played a three-back system, after the full-back was passed by Joaquin, Joaquin had an open field in front of him.

David Villa and Fernando Torres in the frontcourt have a tacit understanding.

Seeing that Joaquin came up with the ball, they quickly made a cross move, which directly messed up the position of the three central defenders of the Ukrainian team.

In this way, Joaquin will not face the Ukrainian team's defenders at all. He can very comfortably hold the ball into the Ukrainian team's penalty area and hit the goal directly!
2 is better than 0!

Joaquin's shooting footwork also inherited the delicacy of the Spanish midfielder!

The tricky curve ball hits the dead corner of the goal. Even if Ukraine's main goalkeeper Shevkovski is quite tall, there is no way to completely seal the dead corner at the far post.

At this moment, it is only the 18th minute of the game.

The Spanish team has already led the Ukrainian team 2-0.

Not only that, but in terms of various statistics, the Spanish team is far ahead of the rival Ukrainian team.

It can be seen that this tasteless third-place match has lost the suspense of victory-the only suspense is how many goals the Spanish team can score?
At least, the fans could see that the midfield players of the Spanish team looked at the Ukrainian team's goal, and their eyes were all staring at the goal, full of desire to score.

Of course, the soul of the Ukrainian team, the "nuclear warhead" Andrei Shevchenko, is also eager to score goals.

But helplessly, his teammates are really not strong enough to give him enough support. He can only look enviously at the two young strikers of the Spanish team, holding the ball comfortably in the frontcourt, and doing all kinds of dazzling things. Showing off his skills, he hit his own penalty area after shaking his own defenders in a mess.

In the 26th minute of the game, the Spanish team expanded the score to 3-0!

This time it is the solo show of "Holy Child" Fernando Torres!

After David Villa pulled the Ukrainian team's defensive focus to the wing, Fernando Torres retreated to the midfielder, took the ball under the guidance of Luis Garcia, and attacked directly towards Ukraine's penalty area.

Although Fernando Torres faced the interference of 3 defensive players on the way to the impact, Fernando Torres was still able to hold the ball firmly and use his delicate feet to live the 3 defensive players like wooden stakes .

After entering the penalty area, facing the main goalkeeper of the Ukrainian team, Fernando Torres, with the simplest and rude burst shot, directly pierced the goal of the Ukrainian team!

The game process has not passed a third, the score has been extended to 3 to 0.

The Spanish team also did not kick the Ukrainian team to death. After all, as the saying goes, "Be a man and stay on the front line, so we can meet each other in the future."

For the rest of the first half, the Spanish team began to collect pass control data in the midfield.

The previous 61% ball possession rate has been brushed to 71%!

The Ukrainian team is also working hard to stop Spain's endless passes, but their skills are not as good as others. Even Andrei Shevchenko has retreated to the midfield to assist his teammates to launch a midfield press, which is futile. .

"Beep……"

After the referee Toru Kamikawa blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the audience woke up from their doze.

I have to say that the Spanish team's endless passing and control after leading by 3 goals is really hypnotic.

Even Diego and Caesar in the Real Ball King system were already drowsy. Diego even suspected that watching the Spanish team's midfield passing and control was exactly the same as reading English textbooks in later generations. A spirited person can't even open his eyelids.

"call……"

Diego gently pushed Caesar beside him who had started to snore softly: "Caesar, the first half is over."

"what???"

Caesar woke up after being pushed by Diego.

"Ah! My God, I actually fell asleep..."

Caesar rubbed his eyes helplessly, and took another sip of Moutai, only to regain his composure.

I saw Caesar shaking his head helplessly: "The Spanish team's midfield pass control is really hypnotic! But there is no way, if the Spanish team continues to attack, then the Ukrainian team will lose at least 0 to 5 in the first half. .It would be too ugly to play such a score.”

Diego also shrugged helplessly: "Actually, in less than 30 minutes, the opponent has already scored 3-0. Such a score is already quite ugly."

Caesar seriously told Diego Cope: "But after all, it is a game that attracts a lot of attention from all over the world. In the context of the commercialization of competitive sports, FIFA does not want to see a massacre with a large score. They I still hope that the game will be played a little more balanced-even if the strength is really not on par, the referee can control the scale of whistle-blowing, so that the game will not collapse."

"Uh……"

Diego couldn't help being taken aback by this, and tentatively asked, "Is this... the legendary match-fixing?"

"How can this be regarded as match-fixing?"

Caesar shook his head like a rattle.

"This thing is called reasonable control of the trend of the game! Don't let the trend of the game completely lose control. You have also seen that if the referee's whistle is not loose, otherwise the Ukrainian team could not only receive two yellow cards in the first half of the game Forget it. If this is according to the standard whistle-blowing scale, the Ukrainian team will have to send off at least 2 players in the first half of the game. If this is the case, then the game is likely to be kicked out of the table tennis score-oh! There is also a more standard for this It's called the 'Balance Whistle'!"

"Hmm... the balance whistle?"

Diego thought about it seriously, and it was indeed true.

Many times, when a strong team plays against a weak team, it is thought that a one-sided score will be played.

But many times it doesn't.

Weak teams, especially those at home, can generally be taken care of by more whistles.So whether it is the pressing action or all kinds of hidden small moves, the weak team can be said to be upset, and all kinds of emerge in endlessly, which makes the strong team play very uncomfortable.

In the end, the strong team may still win the final victory, but the score is often not as one-sided as the fans expected before the game.

On the contrary, when two teams that are relatively close in strength have a direct dialogue, because there is no interference from the so-called "balance whistle", the game will often be more open and closed. You come and go, and the game scene will become very exciting. , Both sides were able to score goals, feasting the eyes of their respective fans.

Of course, there are some exceptions.

That is at the end of the league, in order to avoid relegation or qualify for the Intercontinental Cup or the final round of the cup group stage, a tie will lead to qualifying... In order to achieve a common goal, the two sides with close strength will "play" a boring draw in a very tacit understanding. Everyone gets one point each, and happily ends the game to celebrate.

Although FIFA does not encourage this kind of tacit ball behavior, after all, it is a matter within the rules, and even if it is not encouraged, there is no way to interfere.

Therefore, under such a background, a series of "fair play spirit awards" appeared to encourage teams to play less tacit balls.

however……

After returning from the game in the second half, the Spanish team, which led by three goals, seemed to have secretly reached a tacit agreement with the Ukrainian team.

Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del Del. of David Villa, who has been a big hit at the World Cup, has brought in midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who has played in the Premier League, and allowed Fernando Torres to play less active counter-attacks and more often. Like a full-fledged old man, he walked slowly in the frontcourt.

The Ukrainian team also understood that the Spanish team had a chance in the second half of the game so that they could get back the "fig leaf".

Therefore, Blokhin did not make substitution adjustments when he came back from the halftime break, and continued to let his main team attack the Spanish team's backcourt.

The hard work paid off, and "nuclear warhead" Andrei Shevchenko scored another goal in the third place match of this World Cup.

In the 69th minute of the game, Ukrainian winger Kalinishenko was tripped by Juanito in the penalty area. The referee Uekawa immediately understood and the whistle sounded.

"Beep..."

penalty! ! !

Andrei Shevchenko didn't have any timidity when facing Reina. After all, everyone will play against each other in England next season. At this moment, they must give a "big gift" first.

Andrei Shevchenko tricked Reina with a fake move and hit a ball in the opposite direction to bring the score back to 1-3!

However, the Ukrainians did not dare to expect the final victory in this game.

After Andrei Shevchenko scored a penalty kick, head coach Blokhin immediately made substitution adjustments, and it was a large-scale adjustment that used all three substitutions.

Dynamo Kiev striker Milevski, who plays for the Ukrainian Premier League giants, came on to replace Andrey Shevchenko.

Midfielder Timoshenko, who plays for Shakhtar Donetsk, another giant team in the Ukrainian Premier League, came on and replaced Kalinishenko.

Defender Federov comes on and replaces Vaschak.

This signal is very obvious - this game is like this!We Ukrainians have withdrawn their troops.

Less than 5 minutes after Blokhin's substitution adjustment was made, Bosque also waved his hand, allowing midfielder Albelda and full-back Peña to play after warming up for more than half an hour, replacing Iniesta and Marche accept.

Subsequent games continued into the "hypnosis time".

The Ukrainian team did not take advantage of it. The Spanish team seriously "brushed" the ball possession rate and stopped organizing attacks. In fact, the frontcourt Fernando Torres simply stood there and chatted with the Ukrainian team's defender. No more walking.

In the end, the result was fixed at 3 to 1!

The Spanish team won the third place in the World Cup!
"call……"

"What the hell, it's finally over!"

As the final whistle sounded, Diego and Caesar awoke from their doze together this time.

The two also said with emotion: "I hope the final tomorrow night will not be so boring! Otherwise, I can't watch this match!"

The "Three Lions" England team with a luxurious lineup played against the "Viking" Sweden team with a super striker. It would be a pity if the two sides played a dull game.

Almost all fans hope that in the final both sides can attack from the first second of the game to the end of the game.

Of course, how can the World Cup final with the "big Ibrahimovic" who is never short of topics be dull?
Tomorrow night's final is destined to be hot!

Destined to blow up the entire Berlin Olympic Stadium!

(PS: Big Ibrahimovic is back! But I am more helpless. Big Ibrahimovic actually chose AC Milan instead of the A-League that was rumored before. Lao Mouzi always feels that some young people in AC Milan will be defeated by the hot-tempered big Ibrahimovic beat up a few times in the locker room...)
