Today’s first talk about the European League: Portugal vs Spain!
Yesterday Hungary fought against Italy. We talked about the curse of "just qualifying if you tie", and it turned out to be effective.
Today, Portugal also "just qualify if tied". Will this curse still show its power?
Portugal has suffered too many losses in the matter of "just qualifying if you tie".
Portugal encountered it twice in the previous two years alone.
20 UEFA Nations League group stage, Portugal played against France at home. If it tied, it would be able to qualify for the first place in the group. Then Portugal lost to France without Mbappe, Benzema, , and Marginhos.
21 World Cup qualifiers, Portugal played Serbia at home, and was able to qualify if he tied, and then he was defeated.
is the Portuguese team. It is very strong, but it is easy to lose its chain in key games over the years.
Portuguese media believes that Santos , the old coach, has coached Portugal for more than 8 years and has been playing 4141. There are too few technical and tactical changes, so in key games, it is easy to be targeted by opponents.
And although the Spanish team is usually very scam, the key game is still reliable.
The last European League group stage, Spain played against Germany in the last game, and Germany also "could be able to qualify if it draws". Then everyone knows what the tragedy happened.
In the end, Spain also reached the finals all the way, losing only one of France's offside Mbappe's offside balls.
Last year, European Cup , Spain also reached the semi-finals and played a penalty shootout with Italy.
is the Spanish team. It has a very obvious feature: it is not strong when it meets the weak, and it is not weak when it meets the strong.
The reason why it is not weak and weak is everyone on earth knows - the striker is too good to be awesome.
Like the last game, the ball possession rate is as high as 75%, which can be said to dominate the entire game, but the forwards just pass by and don’t know how to shoot. What’s the use?
The reason why they are strong and strong is that they defend well.
At today's pre-match press conference, Enrique said: Our strongest advantage is defense.
Don't laugh, what he said may be true.
Their defensive thinking is: possessing the ball is equal to defense.
Because when the ball is under your feet, the opponent will certainly not be able to attack.
So they give their opponents very, very few scoring opportunities in each game.
At present, they only have one obvious weakness: corner defense.
Two goals conceded in the last game were both from Switzerland's corner kick attack.
The good news is that Portugal's corner kick offensive is very poor, and there is only 1 corner kick in this UEFA 11 goals.
Today, Spain's defensive weakness may not be exposed.
In fact, Spain has a certain restraint in its technical and tactical style.
The Portugal team relies heavily on personal abilities.
People like Leo, Cancelo , B Se, B Fee and other people have world-class personal abilities.
has many stars, which gives them a very high team value, with a third place in the world.
So, their tactics are very indirect, offense is to counterattack quickly, defense is to target people, and the purpose is to give full play to the advantages of personal abilities.
But Spain is very good at playing this kind of team.
This Spanish pass control system looks flashy and fancy when fighting weak teams.
But when playing against a strong team like Portugal, you can break the opponent's personal ability advantages through team cooperation.
Like when playing Portugal in June, Spain created more opportunities. If the striker is more reliable, he will not only get a point, but his style restraint is more obvious.
For today's game, Spain obviously kept its strength in the last game.
For example, the top scorer in the European Cup Morata didn't go directly, and would rather play a strikeless formation.
, while Portugal is more competitive. C Ronaldo was hit and his nose was swollen. Dalot was injured directly. He may not be able to kick today. In terms of physical fitness, he will suffer some losses.If you consider
comprehensively, when tactical style and physical fitness are at a disadvantage, will the curse of "qualifying if you tie" take effect again? What do you think? The small cocktail party hopes that Spain will continue to play its characteristic of "not being weak when facing strong" and at least take away one point.
OK. For other competitions today, Xiaojiu will still send you text analysis in the evening. If you have any questions, please ask me, "Look at the football and see it clearly", we will see you all!
