Chapter 407: Legendary battle, successful defense! 【Complete book】

Strictly speaking, Yang Hao has been thinking about a problem since the end of the 2013 Confederations Cup.

经历了08年欧洲杯、09年联合会杯、10年世界杯、12年欧洲杯和13年联合会杯……

Along the way, Spain has been winning, winning, winning.

Everyone says that the number one contributor to Spain's ability to win so many championships is Yang Hao, followed by the wave of players trained by Spain and Atletico Madrid's youth training.

The most important player among the players is undoubtedly the Spanish midfielder.

So now, when Xavi is 34 years old, Xavi Alonso is 32 years old, and Iniesta has reached the 30 mark, how can Spain's golden midfield continue to remain competitive?

Why should Spain compete in the World Cup in Brazil in 2014?
This problem has troubled Yang Hao for a long time.

He often takes it up to discuss with assistants such as Guardiola and Juanma Lillo.

Even after the end of the 13/14 La Liga season, Yang Hao specially invited Wenger, Ancelotti, Benitez, Juande Ramos, Cooper, Ranieri, Bielsa, Marcel Lino and others, almost all the head coaches of La Liga teams had dinner together.

This is a purely personal invitation.

Atletico Madrid only attended Yang Hao, Guardiola and Juanma Lillo.

During the dinner, Yang Hao asked everyone to speak freely about their views on the current Spanish national team, the Spanish internationals, and some thoughts on the future 2014 World Cup.

No surprises.

This group of famous coaches in the world's top leagues all mentioned two issues invariably.

Age and hunger.

This group of players has been playing together for too long. They are used to how to cooperate with their teammates and the way they play, so they always stay in their comfort zone.

Especially considering their age and the fact that they are already successful.

In the group stage draw of this World Cup, the opponent Spain drew was exactly the same as Yang Hao in his previous life.

Netherlands, Chile and Australia.

This is not a conspiracy theory, but a high probability event.

Because after the 8 seeded teams came out, the 8 European teams were placed in the fourth pot.

France lost to Spain in the qualifiers, so they had to participate in the play-offs.

According to the rules, the French team should be in the second gear.

But in Yang Hao's previous life, for some unknown reason, the French team was not in the second pot, but moved to the fourth pot, which disrupted the order of the draw.

But now, the French team is in the second gear.

There are at most two European teams in the same group, so the French team will definitely draw the South American team. Coupled with various other reasons, Spain eventually drew the Dutch team in the fourth tier.

Wenger reminded Yang Hao that the Dutch team under the coaching of Van Gaal has a very young lineup. It is a very impactful and motivated team.

Ancelotti also believes that Van Persie is in very good condition and is not as injured as he was in his previous life, while Sneijder's condition has also improved significantly this season.

James Rodriguez was not brought in for no reason.

The question then arises, how can Spain restrain the Netherlands?
Bielsa reminded Yang Hao to pay attention to Chile, because this team was brought up by him and has a fast pace.

"It will be very dangerous if you still play the same way as Chile!"

Bielsa didn't say much, but he also gave a reminder.

Yang Hao also admitted that he is now in a dilemma.

He finally understood now why Bosque did nothing in the previous life.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't and can't do anything about it.

Spain's current problem is that the players are old, and after a long season, the player consumption is huge. In this case, what is the best way?
The answer is to imitate Yang Hao's previous life, Ancelotti's Real Madrid team that won the Champions League by relying on a group of veterans.

Gou!
As long as I hold on, with my rich game experience and excellent passing skills, I can kill you if I seize an opportunity.

Spain actually has the ability to survive now.

Ramos, Pepe, Azpilicueta, Juanfran, and there are also heroes like Javi Martinez in the midfield.

If you really want to be stubborn, Yang Hao is not afraid of anyone.

But here comes the question, after you get into trouble, how do you fight back?

What were the prerequisites for Real Madrid to win the Champions League in its previous life?
They have sharp counterattack speed.

Vinicius is the weapon for Real Madrid's counterattack!

If you don't have the speed of Vinicius, what if you can't hold on?
If that doesn't work, players with good speed like Rodrigo and Valverde are also good.

But now, Spain's problem is that they can survive, but they don't have the speed.

The speed of Pedro and David Silva is considered very good in the Spanish national team. Navas has good speed, but his counterattack effect is not very good.

This creates a problem. If you are stuck, you are too far away from the opponent's goal and cannot counterattack!

What about being unscrupulous?

Referring to Yang Hao's previous life, he was defeated by the Netherlands 1-5 in the first game of the World Cup, and was defeated by Chile 0-2 in the second game, and was eliminated in the group stage in disgrace.

Those two games were more than twenty years ago. Yang Hao could not remember many details, but he still clearly remembered that for a long time, at least in the first half, Spain and the Netherlands were Evenly matched.

At the very least, there is no sign of decline.

This in turn confirmed Yang Hao's most difficult problem.

Why should Spain win the 2014 World Cup in Brazil?

In fact, not only Yang Hao, but also Wenger and others could not give a good suggestion or method.

They all know that Xavi, Xavi Alonso and Iniesta are indeed old, but the problem is that the younger Fabregas, Herrera, Gabi and others cannot replace these players. Position for several people.

Not to mention the younger players such as Cork, Isco, and Thiago.

Yang Hao actually tried to move David Silva to the middle and partner with Iniesta. The advantage of this is that running coverage is guaranteed, but who should be left on the wing?

this is a problem.

David Silva is Spain's most threatening wing attacker right now.

The biggest difference between the Spanish national team in Yang Hao's hands and the previous one at World Bosque lies in a few players.

In addition to David Silva, Llorente stopped training in his previous life to transfer, and was kept in the youth team by Athletic Bilbao for one season. Finally, he moved to Juventus on a free transfer, but his overall upward momentum was greatly affected. .

Now, Athletic Bilbao's revenue has skyrocketed, and La Liga is so prosperous that Llorente has not considered leaving at all, focusing on staying with the Basque Lions as a star.

There is also Pepe, who is a naturalized central defender, which gives Spain's central defender and right wing a very generous space.

Ramos can hit from both sides, and Yang Hao is also very easy to use.

But the problems that Bosque couldn't solve also became Yang Hao's problems.

In last year's Confederations Cup final, Yang Hao used Javi Martinez as the midfielder.

But the cost is also obvious. The team's passing control and midfield creativity have been affected.

Wenger, Ancelotti and Benitez are all encouraging Yang Hao, but they are obviously not particularly optimistic about this Spanish team.

Time is really a ruthless butcher's knife!

……

After the league was suspended, Spain trained in Madrid for a week and played two warm-up matches against Paraguay and Ghana.

Both games were very dangerous.

Yang Hao began to focus on adjusting the midfield, especially Isco, Koke and Fabregas, who all appeared in the game lineup one after another, along with Xavi, Xavi Alonso and Iniesta. pair.

The coaching staff hopes to see the effect through warm-up matches.

Javi Martinez appears more often in a double midfielder configuration, partnering with Busquets and Xabi Alonso respectively, but this style of play still seems slightly conservative.

Both warm-up matches were draws.

But Yang Hao didn't mind either.

The entire training camp did not involve high-intensity physical reserves, but more adjustment and recovery.

This is also the advice given to Yang Hao by the physical fitness coaches after the team training.

After the players have gone through a long season, their physical fitness and condition are at a very tired limit, coupled with the age of many veterans, so the most important thing right now is to adjust the team's condition first.

The three matchups in the group stage were all high-intensity, and the team was in poor condition and was sent home within minutes.

After two warm-up match inspections and an assessment of the players' status, Yang Hao finally determined the 23-man roster before leaving.

Goalkeepers: Casillas, De Gea and Reina;
Defense: Ramos, Pepe, Carvajal, Pique, Alba and Azpilicueta;
Midfielder: Iniesta, Xabi Alonso, Busquets, Isco, Koke, Xavi, Fabregas, Cazorla and Xavi Martinez;
Forwards: Torres, Llorente, Villa, David Silva and Pedro.

There have been many personnel changes here.

For example, Real Madrid right back Arbeloa was sidelined for more than three months due to a knee injury in the second half of the season. Although he returned from injury before the World Cup, Yang Hao also selected him into the training squad, but his condition was obviously not good.

Therefore, Yang Hao chose Azpilicueta.

The Barcelona defender can play on both sides and is a rare all-rounder.

In the midfield, Cazorla has returned, and the two young players who performed well in the Confederations Cup, Kok and Isco, have also been selected again. There is no big problem in these.

On the front line, veteran Villa returned, but Diego Costa was not selected, which caused some controversy.

Diego Costa has performed very well at Valladolid over the past few seasons, especially last season.

But Yang Hao's meaning was very clear. Llorente had not experienced being forced into the youth team for a season in his previous life, and his strength was obviously much better than in his previous life, so Yang Hao chose Llorente.

In this case, there is no need for another Diego Costa.

Veteran Villa is better than Diego Costa in terms of tacit cooperation with the team.

There is also a suspense about Juan Mata and Pedro. In the end, Yang Hao gave up Juan Mata, who performed well in Valencia, and felt that Pedro was more in line with the team's current needs.

As before, the announcement of the 23-man list once again triggered controversy in Spain.

Whoever is selected and who is not selected will all be discussed.

On June 6, the Spanish Football Federation held a huge guild meeting at Las Rozas Sports City.

King Juan Carlos, Crown Prince Felipe and Prime Minister Rajoy all came to the Sports City to celebrate Yang Hao and the Spanish international players.

The wealthy Spanish Football Federation also offered an unprecedented bonus for defending the title.

President Tebas announced that if the Spanish national team can successfully defend the World Cup, each player will receive a championship bonus of 100 million euros, which will far exceed that of other national teams.

You know, the German team’s winning prize is only 30 euros.

The team took a special Emirates flight from Madrid to New York, USA. They were invited to visit Washington and were received by the President at White House.

This is an agreement between the Spanish and American governments that goes beyond the national team.

Fortunately, after staying in the United States for one day, the Spanish national team headed south to Brazil without stopping and arrived in Curitiba.

This is Spain's home base during the World Cup in Brazil.

In the next few days, Yang Hao and the Spanish national team focused on preparing for the game in Curitiba. The main task was physical recovery and condition adjustment.

……

On the evening of June 6, in the first round of Group B of the World Cup, Spain faced the Netherlands.

Van Gaal adopted a very pragmatic tactical formation, 532.

Goalkeeper: Cillessen;

Defence: Blind, Indy, De Vrij, Vlaar and Janmaat;

Midfielder: De Jong, Sneijder, De Guzman;
Forwards: Robben and Robin van Persie.

Yang Hao has been standing on the sidelines observing.

From the beginning of the game, Robben was more active on the left side of the Netherlands, which is also the right side of Spain. He obviously wanted to take advantage of the space behind him exposed by the forward penetration of the full-back.

Van Persie moved closer to Ramos, cruising towards Spain's left rib intentionally or unintentionally. It was clear that he could move forward at any time and hit the gap left by Alba's forward move.

Therefore, the two forwards of the Netherlands are actually wider apart.

Moreover, Van Gaal also carefully crafted targeted tactics for Spain.

It is said to be 532, but in fact, the Netherlands did not play conservatively.

Both sides are more cautious in placing the strangle area for the ball near the midline. Once the ball is lost and the Dutch team retreats, with their more abundant physical fitness and younger lineup configuration, they will be the first to use 3412. formation.

Sneijder presses out and grabs the fourth position behind Spain, which is Busquets' point.

If Spain passes the ball back, the Netherlands will no longer retreat, but will instead press forward as a whole and gain the upper hand again.

If Sneijder fails to suppress Busquets, Sneijder will quickly return to defense and form a midfielder of 5.

Blind, De Jong, Sneijder, De Guzman and Janmaat.

Behind him are Indy, DeVry and Flair.

The biggest feature of Van Gaal's team is that their players have very strong tactical execution.

Whether it is 532 after retreating, 3412 when pressing forward, or 352 when retreating, they are all in order.

In terms of counterattack after stealing the ball, the Netherlands still relies more on long passes.

If Yang Hao's previous encounters with Italy and Real Madrid mainly relied on Pirlo's diagonal passes from the center to both sides, then the Dutch's style of play is more three-dimensional.

Except for Sneijder in the center who will pass forward directly, Janmat and Blind on the two wings mainly pass diagonally from behind the wing ribs, allowing Robben and Van Persie to chase.

Especially Blind, his passing ability is very good.

Van Gaal's intention is obvious, to stabilize the defense, and through this targeted counterattack, use the personal abilities of Robben and Robin van Persie in the frontcourt to attack Spain's defense.

But Yang Hao was already prepared for this game.

After repeated deliberation before the competition, especially after considering opinions from all aspects, Yang Hao himself also thought carefully, especially after in-depth conversations with several players in the team, he resolutely chose to change the formation.

In this battle against the Netherlands, Yang Hao still adopted the 433 tactic.

Goalkeeper: Casillas;

Defense: Alba, Ramos, Pepe and Carvajal;

Midfield: Busquets plays deep, with Xabi Alonso and Koke in front;
Forwards: Iniesta, Torres and David Silva.

When this starting lineup was put out, everyone was extremely shocked.

Among the 11 starting players, 9 are from Atletico Madrid, which is not too outrageous.

Especially Cork.

The 22-year-old actually started in place of Harvey.

But when it came to the game, Cork's performance made everyone's eyes shine.

At Atletico Madrid, the away team averages 90 steals, 2.9 threatening passes, 1.9 kilometers of running distance, and an 12% pass success rate every 86 minutes.

The reason why Yang Hao is sure about Koke is that he talked with Koke before the game. The young player is very confident.

Therefore, Yang Hao used him in this game and asked him to protect Carvajal in the midfield while suppressing Blind.

It is precisely because Cork and Xabi Alonso are responsible for protecting the ribs of the defense that Carvajal and Alba can boldly press forward, while Iniesta and David Silva are inside. ribs.

The entire defensive formation is stretched very wide, and each other's formations are relatively flat.

This is very detrimental to the Dutch team, which has deployed heavy troops on the back line.

Only 10 minutes into the game, Cork stole the ball from Blind on the right and passed it diagonally to David Silva in the ribs. David Silva turned around and got rid of De Jong and sent a kick. Through ball from behind.

Torres quickly moved forward between the two defenders Indy and De Vrij. After catching up with David Silva's pass on the right side of the penalty area, he volleyed into the far corner and broke the Dutch team's goal.

1 is better than 0!

Yang Hao clearly saw that his starting tactics were right!

Koke's start can inject vitality into the Spanish midfield.

He is not as good as Harvey in many aspects, especially in controlling the rhythm.

But it's okay.

Xavi Alonso is still there, David Silva also moves in to help control the ball, and the wing is handed over to Carvajal who comes in behind.

In this case, who is the striker? Who is the midfielder? Who is the defender?
While Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately walked to the sidelines and signaled everyone to continue playing steadily.

The one who is worried should be the Netherlands, not Spain!

……

In the 25th minute, after Cork suppressed Blind from the right, he turned and rushed towards De Jong. After successfully stealing the ball from De Jong, he passed a diagonal pass to Torres at the top of the penalty area. .

Torres retreated to stop the ball and went to the right. Before central defender De Vrij came up, he made a diagonal pass and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Iniesta quickly stepped in and caught up with Torres' pass from the outside of the left corner of the small penalty area. Suddenly he made an emergency stop and spiked the ball with his left foot to his right foot. He was able to dunk past Vlaar who was returning to defend. He kicked the ball with his right foot. Remember the angry shot, the ball went straight to the right side of the goal.

2 is better than 0!

The whole stadium completely erupted!

"Spain's offense is still as sharp as ever and full of creativity."

"Especially this kind of left-right pulling and passing penetration made the Dutch defense very confused."

Facing Spain, which had nearly 70% of the ball, it was difficult for the Dutch team to create opportunities.

Even if he tried to counterattack several times, it was difficult to pose a threat.

Cork is very active here.

Atletico Madrid's midfielder's range of activities covers the entire right half of the stadium. He can advance to the Dutch penalty area and retreat to help defend his own penalty area.

What's even more outrageous is that this midfielder can not only run, but also has excellent skills with his feet and a very strong passing ability.

Spain's first two goals were all the result of Cork's steals.

In the 41st minute of the first half, after Spain's attack on the left was frustrated, Xavi Alonso passed a cross to the right side.

Carvajal stopped the ball close to the right sideline, was interfered by Blind, and passed to Cork.

Cork suddenly jumped forward, passed the ball past De Jong, and sent a through ball.

David Silva successfully countered the offside quickly, broke into the right side of the penalty area, and shot a shot with his left foot, passing the attacking Cillessen and sending it into the Dutch team's goal.

3 is better than 0!

This goal completely killed the Dutch team!
At the same time, it also made Yang Hao on the sidelines raise his hands in excitement.

Betting on Cork in this game is a right bet!
It is precisely because of Cork's physical running in the right half, as well as his crazy pursuit and interception, that it is difficult for the Netherlands' entire left attack to pose a threat.

Xabi Alonso and Busquets can also safely stay in the center and left side. It can be said that the existence of Cork has injected vitality into Spain's midfield!

……

In the second half, Cork's performance did not decline at all, and as the game progressed, the Atletico Madrid youngster became more and more courageous and became more and more into the state.

Van Gaal also realized that the situation could not be opened up on the left, so he asked Robben to adjust his position to the right, which is Alba's side, trying to avoid Cork.

But how could Yang Hao do what he wanted?
Spain quickly made substitutions, and Xavi replaced Xavi Alonso.

After the substitution, Cork was adjusted to the left midfielder, and Xavi played in the right midfielder he is most familiar with.

After adjusting his position, Cork's performance did not decline at all.

Until the 80th minute, when Yang Hao replaced him with Fabregas, the Spanish midfielder had run a full 13 kilometers. You can imagine what an outrageous statistic this is!

Spain also defeated the Netherlands 3-0 in the first game.

Cork was elected player of the match!
Yang Hao also publicly praised Koke after the game, believing that the Spanish teenager will become a future leader!

……

In the first World Cup match, after defeating the Netherlands 3-0, Yang Hao immediately found the accurate signal.

Especially when publicly praising Koke, he spoke highly of the young midfielder.

This also means that Kok has seized the most important opportunity in his career and has been recognized by Yang Hao. His career is bound to reach a higher level as a result.

In the subsequent second game against Chile, Yang Hao made adjustments again.

He knows very well that Spain has no advantage when comparing speed and efficiency with Chile.

This team trained by Bielsa is truly unique in the world in terms of offensive and defensive transitions and quick counterattacks.

Therefore, Yang Hao's strategy changed and he adopted a style of play similar to a double midfielder, with Koke, Busquets and Xavi arranged in the midfield.

But in fact, Busquets and Xavi are further back, and Cork is on top, more like a No. 10 position.

What he provides to Spain is not passes and assists, but his ubiquitous running coverage and pressing interceptions.

This greatly suppressed Chile, relieved the pressure on Busquets and Xavi, and allowed Spain to continue to control the ball.

In terms of offense, Cork's presence effectively connected the forward and midfield.

This diligent and delicate Spanish midfielder almost perfectly adapted to the position given to him by Yang Hao, especially in the opening game. Facing Chile's continuous pressure, Koke ran without hesitation and his performance was very eye-catching.

Just in the 15th minute, it was Koke who stole the ball in midfield and passed the ball to David Silva and then to Torres.

After Torres stopped the ball and passed the defensive player, he turned around and broke into the right side of the penalty area, kicking and hitting the goal.

The ball fell to the left after being saved by Chilean goalkeeper Bravo.

Iniesta grabbed the landing point on the left side of the penalty area, made a quick stop and then suddenly started, and made another quick stop near the bottom line on the left side of the small penalty area, but he was still unable to shake off the defensive player.

When he was about to be unable to attack, Iniesta saw a figure and immediately returned the ball.

I saw Koke go straight into the penalty area from the left side of the top of the arc. In the crowd, he spotted Iniesta's pass and volleyed directly to the ground with his right foot.

The ball went straight to the bottom of the Chilean goal net at great speed.

1 is better than 0!

Afterwards, Spain continued to play steadily, controlling the ball and rhythm, and patiently wearing down Chile.

After changing sides in the second half, Chile launched another wave of attacks. But just 3 minutes later, David Silva seized an excellent opportunity and sent a direct pass from the right rib, which he accurately passed to the goal. Between the two central defenders of the Chilean team.

Torres moved forward quickly, blocked the central defender Medel with his body, stopped the ball in the penalty area, chased after him, got ahead of the attacking Bravo, pushed the ball into the goal, and pushed the ball into the goal.

2 is better than 0!

Spain's quick counterattack gives Atletico another victory!
This score was maintained until the end.

Cork, who was replaced by Cazorla in the 76th minute, once again won the best of the match!
This time he once again contributed 13 kilometers of running.

……

After two consecutive games of crazy physical output, even the tough Iron Man, Yang Hao, had to take it easy and give him engine oil.

In the last game of the group stage against Australia, Yang Hao took a drastic rotation.

Many key players, including Cork, were rested.

Llorente, Villa and Cazorla all started, and the team successfully defeated Australia 3-0.

Villa, Llorente and substitute Pedro each scored one goal.

But the most popular one is Atletico Madrid youngster Koke.

With the best player in the first two rounds of the group stage, the Atletico Madrid youngster became famous overnight.

If, before the World Cup, some people still thought that Yang Hao was employing nepotism, then now, everyone is clearly aware of how important Cork is to this Spanish team.

In particular, his tacit understanding with the Atletico Madrid players in the team is simply unmatched by other players.

After all, they all played in a youth team.

……

Advancing from the top spot in the group, Spain met Mexico, which was second in the group.

Many of Mexico's players play in La Liga, and they drew with Brazil in the group stage, forcing them to face Croatia in the final round of the group stage.

On the other hand, in Spain, all players took a rest in the last round of the group stage. Yang Hao's team faced Mexico with more physical fitness, and they outran the opponent for almost the entire game.

In the first half, Mexico was barely able to contain Spain with its tenacious fighting spirit and excellent defense.

But in the second half, the situation became clear.

Yang Hao now has great ideas about the use of veterans. Xavi and Xavi Alonso are absolutely different.

For example, in the game against Mexico, Xabi Alonso came on first, ensuring the stability of the team's start in the first half and second half.

After almost all the consumption, Harvey went up again.

In the 68th minute, David Silva scored the Mexican goal.

The assister was Xavi.

In the 78th minute, Cork received Torres's return pass and used a long shot from outside the penalty area to score Mexico's goal.

2 is better than 0!

Then Llorente, who came on as a substitute, received Carvajal's cross from the right and hit the goal with a header.

3 is better than 0!

4 games, 0 goals conceded!

Not only did all the media and fans outside not expect this, but even Yang Hao himself did not expect this.

Wenger wrote a column in L'Equipe newspaper, speaking highly of Yang Hao's performance in this World Cup. He also revealed Yang Hao's struggles before the game and the difficulties faced by Spain.

"I can't imagine that other than Yang Hao, there is any head coach in the world who can lead Spain out of this predicament."

Ancelotti also said in an interview with Italian media that Yang Hao not only led Spain out of the predicament, but also pointed the direction for the new Spain.

The future Spanish midfielder needs to rely on young players like Koke and Isco.

"Especially Cork, even though he is only in the round of 16, I can guarantee that he will be the hottest rookie in this World Cup!"

Spain also continued its outstanding performance since this World Cup.

Especially the match against France in the quarter-finals.

Deschamps' team adopted a defensive strategy and did not leave any openings for Spain.

Yang Hao's team continued to control the ball steadily.

Until the 70th minute, Yang Hao replaced Isco.

The young player from Atletico Madrid once again continued his outstanding performance as a gold medal substitute. After coming on, he boldly dribbled the ball straight into France's defensive formation. First, he used a wonderful Marseille spin to dribble the ball into the penalty area and was tripped.

But the referee did not award a penalty kick. Instead, he signaled Isco to dive and gave him a yellow card.

The Atletico Madrid youngster also seemed irritated.

Just 5 minutes later, Isco made an almost acrobatic heel pick to pass the ball, turned around and caught up with the ball he picked out, dunked past his former teammate Pogba at the front of the penalty area, and kicked the ball from the top of the arc. The long shot broke Lloris's goal.

1 is better than 0!

This is also the only goal in the game!
Another midfielder, Koke, is as stable as ever.

……

On the evening of July 7, Spain faced Brazil in the World Cup semi-finals.

This is the second meeting between the two teams after last year's Confederations Cup.

Scolari's team was under heavy pressure before the game, especially before facing Spain. Their record was at a disadvantage and it was understandable that they were under great psychological pressure.

Looking back at Spain, the pressure is obviously much easier.

But even so, no one expected that the game would eventually turn into this situation.

When Xavi assisted Villa to score Brazil's goal just 3 minutes into the game, the trend of the game had completely changed.

Then Torres' goal sent the entire Brazilian team into a rage.

The pressure of playing at home and years of expectations have thrown them into complete chaos.

In less than 10 minutes, the Brazilian team lost one goal after another.

In the first half hour, they conceded 5 goals.

This is absolutely outrageous.

In fact, this is completely out of control.

Everyone could see that everyone in Brazil was in chaos.

After they finally recovered and stabilized their position, they changed sides in the second half and fought again. Spain quickly took advantage of the Brazilian team's huge physical exertion, and Pedro and Llorente came on as substitutes to score two goals in a row.

Teenager Koke also scored the final goal in the 90th minute.

In the end, Spain slaughtered Brazil 8-0!

Not even a decent goal for the host country.

This is no longer an ordinary defeat.

It was the worst defeat in World Cup history.

The reason is that Yang Hao said at the Confederations Cup last year that the pressure of playing at home is a huge stone for this Brazilian team.

It can not only inspire them to fight the enemy bravely, but it can also become their shackles in headwind situations.

Conceding 23 goals in a row from 29 to 4 minutes in the first half is the best evidence.

……

On the evening of July 7, Spain faced Germany in the final of the World Cup in Brazil.

Unlike Spain in the semi-finals, which massacred the Brazilian team with an astonishing score, the German team had to defeat Argentina led by Messi in overtime in the semi-finals, narrowly escaping into the final.

Against Spain, especially Spain, which performed extremely well in this World Cup, Loew obviously put himself in a weak position.

Yang Hao continued to display Spain's main lineup.

In front are Iniesta, Torres and David Silva.

The midfielders are Xavi Alonso, Busquets and Koke.

The defense is Alba, Ramos, Pepe and Carvajal.

The goalkeeper is Casillas.

Putting himself in a weak position, Loew's targeted defense was still very effective against Spain.

And the German team is obviously well prepared.

Their defense against Spain's small players in this game, especially one-on-one defense, had a very high success rate, and they could intercept the ball almost every time they took a shot.

It was obvious that they had made sufficient preparations for Spain before the game and had practiced it repeatedly on the training ground.

This brought the game to a complete deadlock.

Spain has the advantage of passing and controlling the ball, and its offense is more threatening.

But the German team's defense was more in place and more targeted.

Both teams put in their best performances and gave everything they had just to beat their opponents.

In the first half, both sides fought to the death, sometimes falling on their backs, but no one scored.

Seeing the game time passing by minute by second, no one could score a goal, and the first half was likely to end with 0-0.

In the 2nd minute of stoppage time, Spain got a free kick opportunity from the right side of the front court.

Xabi Alonso quickly took the corner kick. Pepe, who was in the front of the penalty area, took a false shot, confusing the defenders. Ramos in the middle suddenly stepped in and jumped high.

Yang Hao stood on the sidelines and looked at Ramos who jumped up in the stadium. At that moment, his eyes seemed to be blinded.

Ramos overcame Hummels and headed the ball into the German goal from close range.

This goal instantly ignited the atmosphere of the audience.

In the first half, Spain's ball possession rate reached 70.2%, while the German team only had 29.8%.

This is not entirely because Spain is stronger, but because the tactics adopted by Loew are a bit too conservative.

But after conceding a goal first, the German team changed sides and fought again in the second half. The German team first tried to launch a wave of attacks, but they did not invest much troops and failed to pose a threat.

But gradually, the German team, which was lagging behind, began to lose control.

Loew replaced Schuerle and other players in an attempt to strengthen the team's offense.

Spain, on the other hand, patiently waited for opportunities while maintaining possession of the ball and defense.

In the 77th minute, after the Spanish midfielder intercepted the ball and passed it continuously, Iniesta sent a through ball.

Torres got rid of Hummels and Boateng, received the ball and entered the penalty area, then formed a single shot and scored.

2 is better than 0!

……

When the referee Rizzoli from Italy blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Spanish internationals all rushed out of the stadium crazily.

Yang Hao also knelt down on the sidelines in excitement, and his tense nerves were finally able to relax completely at this moment!
Won!

Defending the title successfully!

Yang Hao was even so excited that he wanted to cry.

His whole head is still a little confused now.

But one thing he can be sure of is that Spain has really successfully defended its title!

Not only Torres, David Silva, Iniesta, Xabi Alonso and other old international players, but more importantly, Koke, Isco, Carvajal, Alba and other old international players Young international.

They breathed life into this Spanish team.

Especially Cork and Isco.

Koke started 7 of Spain's 6 games in this World Cup, and performed excellently in every game. This is really impressive for a 22-year-old youngster. It's very, very amazing.

Needless to say, Isco's goal in defeating France was enough to amaze the world.

And Alba and Carvajal…

Yang Hao also asked De Gea to start the game against Australia and played the entire game.

Suddenly, Yang Hao felt like he was exhausted.

The World Cup is over!

His last game is over too!
The whole stadium was filled with cheers from the fans.

He believes that at this moment, fans all over the world are cheering.

For Spain, for the Spanish internationals, and for Yang Hao!
But he was about to leave all this.

This made him feel extremely sad.

For 14 years, he has been living in this rhythm every day. He can't imagine what it would be like if he suddenly left one day.
But this idea was quickly forgotten by him.

Because, he was quickly surrounded by Juanma Lillo, Guardiola and others who were flying over.

Each of them looked extremely excited.

He even seemed more excited than Yang Hao.

This should also be the last time Guardiola serves as an assistant coach.

After this game, he will officially take up his post at Atletico Madrid, taking over Yang Hao's position and taking charge of the Sheets.

The team left by Yang Hao will be inherited by Guardiola, who also brought several of his friends.

Yang Hao believes that they can manage Atletico Madrid well.

As for Spain, it is inevitable for the older generation of players to quit.

But the rise of young players such as Koke, Isco, Javi Martinez, Carvajal and Alba, coupled with the emergence of young players such as Iniesta, David Silva and Busquets, etc. Yang Hao believes that Spain may have some ups and downs, but as long as it continues along Yang Hao's path, there will be no big problem.

Of course, Yang Hao no longer needs to worry about these.

From now on, it has nothing to do with him.

Just when Yang Hao thought of this, the Spanish international players suddenly rushed over from the side.

Especially Ramos, Pepe and Torres, who unexpectedly picked Yang Hao up when he wasn't paying attention. Some raised their hands, some held their feet, and some supported their waists. Everyone shouted. Two or three, Yang Hao was thrown high into the air at the same time.

Under the dazzling lights of the stadium, Yang Hao, who was thrown into the air, looked particularly dazzling.

Below, all the players, coaches and staff raised their heads and looked up at Yang Hao in mid-air.

There were more than 7 fans in the stadium stands; in front of the TV, billions of fans around the world watching the live broadcast were all focused on Yang Hao in mid-air.

Everyone knows that this is Yang Hao's last battle!
It was also the battle that created a great legend for Yang Hao!

Countless years from now, people may forget the stars in this game and all the things of this era...

But they will definitely remember this dazzling name!
