white tour

The atmosphere of the national team is much better than Antonio imagined. During the European Cup, Pedro's big mouth and the dispute between Cassie and Bosque disappeared with the departure of the parties.Lopetegui's tactics have not seen too many bright spots so far, but everyone knows that the new head coach will not give up the pass-and-control style of play.

This point is important enough, and it also made the players feel relieved.

Spain's pass-and-control style of play has a more powerful term - "Tiki-Taka". From 2008 to 2012, Aragones and Bosque, who advocated this tactic, brought back two European Cups and 1 World Cup champion.This is a precious legacy left by the two head coaches. Spain, with Barcelona players as the backbone, almost won the whole world by playing pass-and-control football.

However, with the sluggish performance of the Spanish team in the past two competitions, the Spanish football's pass control tactics began to face severe challenges.

Technical statistics show that the average ball possession rate of the Spanish team in this summer's European Cup is as high as 62%, and the average pass success rate is 89%, but finally fell to the feet of the Italian team whose average ball possession rate was less than 50%.In addition, England, Croatia and other teams that have transformed their pass-and-control style of play in recent years have not performed satisfactorily in major competitions.However, teams such as Chile, Costa Rica, Iceland, and Wales, which use defensive counterattacks and have relatively dull scenes, have sprung up in the past two years.

There are such examples, and many media and fans believe that the Spanish team under Lopetegui will adopt a more conservative style of play. After all, he is one of the few Basque coaches in the history of the Spanish national team.

For the previous Basque coach Clemente, Spanish fans should be more impressed.He injected a lot of Basque toughness into the Spanish national team, which has always focused on offense and light defense, and has a soft style.It's a pity that Clement's approach was too extreme, and the result was unsuccessful, and he dismissed get out of class sadly.

When he was the head coach of Spain's U21, when Tello, who likes to break through, was on the wing, Lopetegui would arrange Isco, who was used to cutting inside, on the other side.In Porto, when Quaresma takes on the wing attack on one side, he will let Brahimi on the other side pull back and forth between the winger and the midfielder.Lopetegui likes to use the wing attack, and now Spain is just in the era of a large number of talents in the winger position.

This makes Spanish fans worry that Lopetegui will be based on defense, but also worried that he will completely give up Tiki-Taka and start playing on the wing.While the Spanish team does need change now, if the steps are taken too far, the risk of failure will also become very large.

In fact, Lopetegui is cautious enough that he is trying to combine wing attack with Spain's tradition of passing and controlling.

Whether it is a breakthrough or an inside cut, whether it is playing left or right, Antonio can do it now, and he has become one of the players that Lopetegui focuses on.

"I have no contact with the former head coach, I am capable and young, I have a tacit understanding with my former teammates Vitolo and current teammates Morata and Asensio, and I can also have a tacit understanding with Silva, who is working with Silva for the first time. I have never paid attention to this kind of player with high quotient and strong skills before! Could it be said that there is really such a saying in the football world?" Looking at the training situation on the field, Lopetegui began to think back to what he saw a few years ago. The past Sevilla youth team game.

After a long time, Lopetegui still shook his head. He really had no impression of the brown-haired young man who was performing well on the field now.

Although Sevilla had previously trained a large number of outstanding players such as Ramos, Marchena, Navas and Puerta.However, during the two years when Lopetegui served as the head coach of the national youth team, Sevilla was probably worthy of recruiting Moreno and Campania, and there were several children worthy of attention in the youth group.As for Antonio Rodrigue, who is that?

Today, Antonio has a lot more expression on his face, and his movements are smoother when he plays football.He feels very happy because he met Silva.

Silva can perfectly cooperate with Antonio to complete the movement and pass without even needing to look at the ball.Silva's running position is obviously very erratic, but Antonio can understand his intention at the first time.The fit between them is too good, and the feeling of tight fit makes both of them enjoy it.

"Hello! Mr. Silva!" Antonio, who was still blushing from running, walked towards Silva. He was a little shy. This was the first time he was so impatient to get closer to someone.

"Just call me David, can I call you Antonio?" Silva wiped his sweat. In Manchester City, he usually only cooperates with Yaya Toure and Aguero in a small range, excluding the last pass. .As long as someone runs, he will definitely be there.The national team that plays pass control is much better than the club, because everyone is a player who can pass, control and shoot, and they are very mobile.

Silva is a little worried about being selected for the national team this time. Representatives of Tiki-Taka Xavi, Cazorla, Fafa, and Iniesta have all withdrawn from the national team or are on the verge of preparing to take over, so this time He was the only "survivor" left in the training camp.Breakthrough, running and scoring abilities are all Silva's weaknesses. If there are no players who can keep up with his rhythm as teammates, then he will have very little room to play on the court.

Silva was also very happy to meet Antonio, who matched him perfectly.

"David! You can call me Annie!" Antonio curled his lips, and the dimples under his blue eyes appeared again, "Can you tell me why the ball was handled like that?"

"Okay, I don't know if you have noticed..."

Pique was shocked by Antonio's sudden smile not far away, he grabbed Ramos' shoulder and said, "Sergio, didn't you say that Rodrigo is your little brother? He just talked to you I was still cold when I was there, why did you go to David with a smile on your face in the blink of an eye?"

"None of your business!" Ramos shook off Pique's hand, stood up angrily and ran to the other side to sit down.

Fuck!In my lifetime!I actually saw my deadly enemy showing his arrogance in front of me!Didn't he pretend to be a dead star?Pique widened his eyes and wanted to share his inner excitement with others, but when he saw the picturesque handsome face of his former team Hua, who had just transferred to Dortmund this summer, he suddenly had no words to break the silence atmosphere of desire.

With his chin propped up, Pique silently admired Baltra's world-class beauty, which has a filter effect even if he just drinks saliva.

"Antonio didn't abandon us for the captain, but he ran away with Silva! I just told him to come over and he ignored me. I can guarantee that he definitely saw me waving at him!" Taking off the training vest , Asensio looked aggrieved.

"I am the center forward of our group, but Antonio wasted two chances just to feed Silva the ball. The key is that these two almost must-goal chances actually didn't score! I passed the ball Didn’t I give it to him and let him pass it on to others? Later, Silva took the initiative to tell Antonio that his shooting skills were not good, otherwise I guess this kind of thing will happen again. After having Silva, Antonio doesn’t love me Already!" Morata squinted his eyes, feeling that he had countless slots to vomit.

Costa, who was sitting next to him and heard the two talking, was really upset.Obviously Rodrigue was in our white team at the beginning, and he also passed me a few good balls.As a result, he was quickly replaced by your black team. After that, your team began to beat our team. Even if you scored goals, you have the nerve to complain here!well!When will I break the scoring drought in the national team?Could it be that you just watched the main position being taken away by Morata?Blue skinny!mushroom!

Relying on his prosperous beauty, Costa looked melancholy.

On August 8, all members of the Spanish national team took a plane to Belgium.Just this morning, Antonio got the No. 31 jersey number.

In the Spanish team that has started to practice without a striker in recent years, No. 9, the traditional Zhengyin center number, is actually not that important anymore.However, thinking about the top strikers like Morientes and Torres who have scored a lot of goals, Antonio couldn't help feeling excited.

More excited than Antonio is Morata, he got the most classic number in Spain - No. 7!

Asensio, who was still very happy at the beginning, saw that the numbers of his two friends were better than the other, and couldn't help humming twice, "It's okay, my number 16 is also very good! It belonged to Juan Fernandes before. Lan! Right! You have to walk step by step, and you have to achieve your goals little by little. Maybe I will be the only one in the national team next time?"

Originally, he was still signaling Morata, who was more talkative, to comfort others, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, Antonio directly elbowed Asensio in the abdomen.

The coach finished reading all the rosters, and the players in the meeting room looked different.

De Gea, who has been officially confirmed as the starting goalkeeper, took Casey's No. 1 jersey, and Bayern midfielder Thiago got the No. 10 of Cesc Fabregas, who was not selected for this period's squad.

In addition, Adrian, who was selected for the national team for the first time, won the No. 12, Roberto put on the No. 6 of Iniesta who was sidelined due to injury, and Pedro's No. 11 was handed over to Vitolo.

Not long after, the official website of the Spanish national team also announced the player numbers for this training camp and two games.
