Denia was full of confidence in the team. After all, the team had won consecutive games and had not lost a single game in this U17 World Cup.

But France was also undefeated and played many games with big scores, showing strong offensive firepower.

Extremely sharp and quick counterattacks and one-touch passing have some of the flavor of beautiful football, but with more forward passes added.

Denia's only concern is whether the defense can keep up with the counterattack speed of the French forward line.

After the game started, both sides were in the testing stage.

Spain controlled the ball and looked for opportunities, first stabilizing the tempo, while France was ready to make a move.

As Lin Chen kicked, he found that the situation was not what he had expected.

Although the French team's starting formation was 4-3-3, after the game started, the French team's frontcourt positioning was an irregular diagonal line.

Pintor moved back to the front of the right, while Adeli moved to the front of the right, and attacking midfielder Flips frequently switched positions with Chuameni.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Lin Chen observed carefully and tried to find the flaw.

The 13th minute of the game!

"The ball is still in Spain's control. Beitia passes it to the wing and Miranda presses forward with the ball."

"Play with Gomez and go down the wing!"

"Inverted triangle, still want to find Lin Chen!"

“It’s broken!”

"The pass was a little weak, and Chuameni made an accurate steal!"

"Lin Chen chased back, but Chu Ameni didn't give him any chance to counter-attack. He passed the ball to Adli on the right!"

"This pass with the outside of the foot reminded me of Pogba."

"Adley stopped the ball with his chest and dribbled past the defense with his back turned!"

"Beautiful! Trick Guillamont!"

"Spain's backcourt is empty!"

"Sweep the ball to the back post!!!"

“Shovel shot!!!”

"oops!"

"France takes the lead!"

"Pintor scored a goal at the back post!"

"pretty!!!"

"France is leading by one to zero!"

"It was even the first time in this tournament that Spain conceded a goal in the first half!"

"France is the team with the most powerful offensive firepower in the U17 World Cup so far, bar none!"

Losing the ball at the start was clearly not part of Denia's plan.

The young Spanish players were a little dazed for a moment, as they had never felt behind in this tournament.

An uncomfortable feeling of depression and suffocation comes over me!

Lin Chen rushed back into the net, picked up the ball and returned to the midfield, punching while running and shouting at his teammates.

"Keep your head up!"

“The game has just begun!”

“There’s still plenty of time!!!”

Lin Chen's mental attributes were extremely high, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't look like he was hit at all by losing the ball.

Instead, his inner fighting spirit and desire were aroused, and the anger was spreading from his dantian throughout his body little by little!

Seeing the high-spirited Lin Chen, the young players instantly woke up and returned to the game.

But France's new tactics in the front court are still a threat. The diagonal 433 formation combined with quick counterattacks is something Spain must break as soon as possible.

France had never used this tactic in the previous few games, and it was obviously a feast carefully prepared for Spain.

Lin Chen controlled the tempo while observing carefully, trying his best to stop Chuammeni from passing the ball forward in the midfield and limit France's counterattack.

Denia and his assistant coach were trying hard to find a solution, as Spain gradually fell into a disadvantage and was pressed by France in their own half.

Midfielder Lin Chen tried his best to increase his coverage area, but both flanks were in danger.

The Spanish fans were visibly panicking. If the game continued like this, it was only a matter of time before a second goal was scored.

In the 27th minute of the game, Denia finally stood up and walked to the sidelines, exchanging glances with Lin Chen.

Taking advantage of the foul in the frontcourt, the two seized the limited free time to start communicating.

"If they want to attack diagonally, we will increase vertical penetration." Lin Chen said.

Denia nodded, Lin Chen thought the same as he did.

"Let the two defensive midfielders retreat frequently to help defend the flanks."

"After you get the ball, you will initiate a counterattack and let Ferran Torres and Ruiz increase the crossover."

"Play with speed in the front court and break through the flanks. Instead of combining the wing and the center, look for opportunities from the wing."
