Football King Bale - Chapter 641
The schedule of the Confederations Cup is very dense. The three group matches maintain the frequency of one match every three days, and the venue has to be moved. Due to the vast territory of Brazil, the distance between the two cities is almost several. Hundreds of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers. Although they are flying on a plane, the players still feel very tired.
After Brazil’s eastern coastal city of El Salvador played a group match with Brazil, the Welsh team finally ushered in some breathing opportunities. Their semi-final with Spain will be five days later, although it will require a thousand flights from El Salvador. It is a kilometer away to Fortaleza, another coastal city in northeastern Brazil, but after all, there are five days, and Wales can be less rushed.
The group match between Wales and Brazil took place on the afternoon of June 22, local time in Brazil. After the match, Wales rested in El Salvador for one night before flying to Fortaleza on the morning of June 23.
………………
After the Welsh team arrived in Fortaleza, Coleman immediately led the team to the training ground.
Undefeated in the group stage did not completely lose the mind of the Welsh team. In the subsequent group stage summary, when Bell spoke as the captain, he first pointed out the team’s defensive problem. He believes that this will become a further step for the team. The biggest obstacle.
Of the four teams that entered the semifinals, Wales is the team with the most goals conceded. They lost seven goals in three games, almost the sum of the goals conceded by the other three teams!
The best performance in the group stage is Spain, winning in three games and scoring 15 goals but scoring only 1 goal; Uruguay also performed well, scoring 11 goals in 3 games and missing 3 goals; Mostly, Brazil scored 9 goals in three group matches and also scored 4 goals.
This kind of defense is very difficult to go on in the next game. Because for the knockout, defense can usher in victory.
Faced with a team with a strong attack like Spain, and fight with them, it is to die!
Bell is strong, but how can his attack power be comparable to a Spanish team?
Coleman is also aware of the Welsh problem. After more than a year of running in, this Welsh lineup has almost taken shape, and the tactics have stabilized.
All in all, the group stage lost so many goals, but the problem was caused by Bell. Under the influence of his new five-star skill leader’s heart, the Welsh players’ confidence is bursting, and they often think about offense, but they lose their defense.
In the training a few days before the start of the semifinals, Coleman strengthened the defensive training of the whole team, hoping to solve the obvious problems in the team’s defense in the game against Spain.
………………
Fortaleza, Brazil, the Great Castle Stadium, or Castellan Stadium.
Fortaleza, located near the equator, has high temperatures throughout the year, and the end of June is the hottest time in the city.
It was at this time that the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup Wales and Spain started.
For this game, the Spaniards shouted the slogan of revenge for last year’s European Cup defeat at the foot of Wales to miss the European Cup defending.
However, when the game started, it was discovered that Spain actually played quite conservatively. Although they firmly controlled the possession of the ball, they never attacked rashly.
Especially in the face of Bell, they are more cautious. As soon as Bell is close, their ball-handling players immediately transfer the ball rights; and once Bell gets the ball, two or three Spanish players will go up to grab, no matter what. Let Bell get the ball.
Welsh, who unified their thinking to defend before the game, will not take the initiative to attack. They almost shrank the whole team in the midfield and backcourt and built their defensive three zones into a copper wall. Even Spain, known for its offense, also It is difficult to penetrate their defenses, especially with the addition of Bell’s leadership.
As for Bell, he can’t get the ball without the ball. He didn’t mean to attack most of the time in this game. Let’s drag it first.
Under such circumstances, the game was very dull, which disappointed the local fans of Fortaleza, who flew to Brazil to support the Welsh fans and Spanish fans of the two teams. Cheer for their teams constantly.
………………
When the game passed for seventy minutes, Spain finally couldn’t hold back and started to attack.
However, this was in the middle of Wales’s arms. After the Welsh team broke the ball at the front of the 30-meter area in its own half, Ramsey kicked a long pass and spurred a quick counterattack.
Bell sprinted forward with great speed on the left.
“The Welsh team launched a counterattack. The referee did not whistle and Bell succeeded in an offside!”
More than 20,000 Welsh fans who came to cheer for the entire Castellon Stadium, Oriental students and Chinese, Japanese, and local Brazilian fans all cheered and shouted Bell’s name.
Bell quickly caught up on the court and stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area.
Spain’s right-back Averroia is also very fast back to defense, this game he has been entangled with Bell. The two played one-on-one inside and outside the penalty area.
Facing Bell, who is approaching with the ball, Aveiroa is facing the enemy, posing a posture of guarding against death, and also reminding himself constantly in his mind, be careful, don’t be fooled, his extraordinary is deceiving. Fake action!
When entering Averoja’s defense zone, Bell suddenly started, speeding up, and then his left shoulder sank, rushing to the bottom line.
Even if Aveiroa kept reminding himself not to be fooled before, even if he had been taken by Bell many times before, but when Bell suddenly changed gears, and suddenly rushed to the left and bottom into the restricted area, Ah Veroa is still fooled. He didn’t even know what was behind him, he didn’t know if Bell would choose to cross after playing.
This guy is very proficient in both his left and right feet. He can cut inside and cross the door. It is very difficult to prevent.
As soon as he moved, the figure in front of him flicked, and Bell pulled the ball back. The whole person almost wiped Aveiroa’s side and squeezed into the penalty area.
Aveiroa left a thought, and immediately found out that he was fooled. But Bell had even rushed the ball into the penalty area, and many of his actions had to stop abruptly.
But he did not expect that as soon as Bell rushed into the penalty area, he didn’t wait for him to react and hit him directly!
………………
“Bell hits the goal directly! The goal is in!!!”
“In the seventy-first minute, the Welsh team made a counterattack after stealing the ball. Bell dribbled the ball from the left and rushed into the penalty area. In the face of Aveiroa’s defense, Bell calmly chose to start directly. Spain’s Despite the reaction, goalkeeper Casillas failed to prevent the ball from entering the net.”
After scoring, Bell rushed out of the stadium excitedly, ran all the way to the bottom of the stands, and opened his arms towards the fans who supported him in the stands, as if he wanted to embrace the fans in the stands, which made Bell get more enthusiastic applause. And cheers.
The teammates behind him also swarmed up and surrounded Bell.
Bell got up from the ground and embraced his teammates one by one, celebrating his eighth goal in the current Confederations Cup.
But most importantly, he wants to win!
Judging from the course of more than an hour, Spain’s strength is indeed stronger. The Spanish midfielder transplanted from the Barcelona midfielder combination has firmly controlled the ball, and the advantage is very obvious.
In the past three games in Wales, except for the third group stage where the ball control rate was slightly inferior to Brazil, the other two games were all around 55 percent.
This was something Bell hadn’t thought of before. He didn’t expect the team to do so well in terms of possession. With the addition of the leader’s heart, the Welsh players are active and their personal abilities are improved.
Running a lot, there are more connections and tandem, plus Ramsey is also a technical midfielder, although the three backs are mostly defensive, but the skills are not bad at the foot, the pass is also Quite an idea. As a result, the Welsh midfielder is full of creativity.
There were Kanu or Morrison in the frontcourt, Bell on the left and Ramsey on the right, which made the Welsh team’s entire offensive offensively very good.
If you insist on picking the shortcomings, it is that the back line is not stable enough, only one Collins is more reliable, and the two full-backs are also conservative, failing to give enough support in the midfield and frontcourt.
But precisely because of this, Coleman will choose the strategy of attracting snakes out of the hole, and all the staff will retreat to lure the Spanish team to attack.
It’s just that Wales didn’t expect that the screaming revenge of Spain before the game was so serious after the start of the game that it didn’t mean to attack with all its strength.
Fortunately, Wales has enough patience, UU reading www.uukanshu.com they are not afraid to drag the game down. Finally, they exhausted the patience of Spain, so that the Matador Corps finally desperately attacked.
………………
In the knockout, every goal is crucial.
After Spain was one goal behind, Spain had no other choice but to continue to increase its offensive power, even at the backline.
But just when Spain let go and wanted to tie the score again, after Welsh broke the ball in the backcourt, he quickly moved to the left to give Bell. Bell was closely guarded by the Spanish players, and he went horizontally to the middle of the belt and shook the cloth. After Scouts, he directly passed the ball diagonally and sent the ball to the empty right.
Ramsay quickly inserted along the right road and transferred Bell’s diagonal pass to the stop. Facing the Spanish player who returned in time, Ramsey suddenly accelerated to the bottom pass in the penalty area and sent the ball to the small. Frontier area.
Morrison, who was plugged into the back row, made a diving jump and pushed Ramsey’s pass into the goal directly.
2:0!
Thunderous cheers burst out again throughout the Castellan Stadium.
Bell also rushed to Morrison for the first time, congratulating him on scoring such a wonderful goal.
