Chapter 152

During the intermission, coach Camacho adjusted the tactics, asking them to speed up the counterattack, pay attention to the opponent's defense and so on.

Guti leaned on the back of the chair, frowning slightly.

Camacho's ability as an assistant coach is still good, but he is not good at directing and responding on the spot. Guti feels that the current problem is not the opponent's defense problem at all. The Spanish team may not be as good as the South American team in terms of technology, but Compared with African elephants, they are generally more technical. Regardless of the formation and tactics, African teams are much better than them in confrontation. Once the two sides fight in the first half, the Spanish players can only rely on skills. Grab, and they are easy to lose the ball when the opponent squeezes and leans.

Technical flow at the muscle party is difficult!

What's more, the members of this Nigerian national team don't just rely on their muscles. Many of them play in Europe and have flexible technical styles. Kanu among them is a first-class player who has used his skills to the extreme. Players, it’s just that in European football, although the mainstream media claims that they cannot discriminate against race, in fact, most of them still unconsciously look at players of color with glasses. Be careful, only when there is bad news about a player of color, they will go out and hype it.

"Jose?"

Kiko, who took care of himself, called him softly.

Guti tilted his head, "What?"

"What do you think?"

"I was thinking about how to break the opponent's goal."

Guti smiled.

"Nigeria's defense is good, and it's rare to meet such an African team with top-notch tactical execution."

The veteran Kiko laughed.

"Don't look at Nigeria this year with old eyes. They won the Olympic gold medal the year before last."

Guti took a sip of the water handed over by Kiko and said.

"Well, it's different from the African teams I met before."

Kiko nodded.

The two whispered for a while, and after the coaching staff went out, Hierro came over and sat beside Guti.

"How does it feel?"

Hearing Hierro's question, Guti glanced at him, "What's the matter?"

"It's not easy to break through the opponent's defense zone!"

Hierro asked.

Guti smiled, "It's nothing, we need to pass the ball more in the second half, and we need to organize more in the midfield. Don't rush to attack. At present, the opponent needs to attack. They are more anxious than us. Let's play more and make room for it." attack."

Hearing the discussion here, the teammates turned their heads to listen.

Nadal and Ferrer looked at each other, and Nadal whispered, "I heard that Jose has received coaching training in Real Madrid."

"It started so early?"

Ferrell also replied quietly.

After retiring, many players will choose to become a coach to play their strengths, but there are not many retired players who can really take the position of first-class coaches. Not everyone can be like Cruyff or Angelotti Not only a first-class star but also a first-class coach.

"But it sounds like he is better than..." Nadal winked, looking at the closed door, "much better than that."

"Hey!"

Ferrer stopped as if warning, but smiled on his face.

The two of them were then lightly kicked by Subisaretta, who was sitting next to them.

Although Subisarreta left Barcelona, ​​at any rate, their predecessors still survived, and the two gossiping men had to shut up.

Although Subisareta stopped the younger generation from being sarcastic, but facing the former coach who was a sworn enemy, he actually felt that what the two said was correct.

Moreover, Subi felt that Hierro would ask Guti's question, which meant that Hierro had also discovered the problem.

When the second half started, Hierro took the initiative to push the defense line he controlled forward by three meters, and at the same time signaled Ferrer, Nalda, and Alcorta to form a diamond-shaped position with the four, so that the four could complement each other.

Guerrero moved some distance away from Enrique and Pizzi, Guti stepped back a bit, and Perez and Chico moved forward.

Camacho on the sidelines quickly noticed the players' autonomous behavior, but he was not angry with the players' actions. After observing carefully for a while, he found that this was more conducive to the players' control of the situation, so he acquiesced in their actions .

Although Camacho has various problems, one of his better points is that although he has a cold personality, he is willing to accept other people's opinions. In this alone, he is much better than many hardline coaches. In terms of on-the-spot command ability, he really lacks a lot.

The second half only opened for a while, and the Nigerian team took advantage of the Spanish team's incomplete defense to score a goal.

1:1.

The opponent's celebration made Guti very unhappy, but there was no way to do it.

He waved back, and Pizzi, who had the ball, passed it over.

Guti, who hit the ball with his chest and swayed past the opposing player, kicked his toes, and the football bounced with a small arc to bypass another Nigerian player, and turned around to pick a pass.

The ball flew over from an oblique direction, and Kiko caught the ball with his feet crossed, made two moves and then pushed.

Perez, who rushed in from the middle, passed the ball with a header.

Guerrero from the side blasted the goal hard.

The ball is in.

2:1.

This goal is the cooperation between the midfielders and frontcourt players. As Guti said, don’t compete with your opponents, but rely on passing the ball to open up space and then shoot. It is better to seize this opportunity than to shoot indiscriminately.

Guerrero hugged Guti, "Jose, you will be a good coach in the future."

Guti hugged him back, "Of course."

Kiko, who didn't stick the ball but created opportunities for his teammates, just ran over. He laughed and hugged Guti and kissed him directly, "Jose, I think I can hand over my son to you in the future."

"Cut~"

Just as Guti wanted to despise him, he was embraced by Perez who rushed over and kissed him fiercely.

"Hey~~"

Guti yelled angrily, but Guerrero kissed him tenderly.

"asshole!"

Seeing Guti jumping, the three laughed and ran away.

Hierro touched his chin after noticing what happened here, and said to Enrique, "Our child seems to have been harassed."

Enrique laughed, "We can also kiss."

"roll!"

Kick-off in the middle circle.

The Nigerian team attacked again, and in the 66th minute, their No. 10 Okocha directly smashed the Spanish gate with a world wave.

2:2.

"hateful!"

Guti, who was watching the wave of the world, shook his head.

Subisaretta, who picked up the ball from the goal, threw it hard.

Encountering this kind of unreasonable world wave, even you super door god can only bear it.

The fast pace of the second half warmed up the atmosphere of the audience. Fans from both sides kept cheering and shouting in the stands. African fans who were good at singing and dancing beat drums and twisted their bodies in the stands. It was some female fans who tore off their tops and began to dance with their graceful figures in bikinis, which also attracted many live broadcast shots.

Of course, this kind of confrontation and counterattack made the wives sitting in the Spanish player's family area seem to be unhappy.

Guti, who was waiting for the throw-in, wiped off his sweat, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

Then his smile was also on the big screen.

This led to the screaming of many fans at the scene, and some neutral fans in France seemed to be screaming too.

Guti rubbed his forehead helplessly and sighed.

The game continued. In the 76th minute of the second half, the Spanish players seized another opportunity. Guti and his teammates played several two-for-one cooperation in a row. Kiko, facing the empty goal, poked lightly, and the football rolled into the net.

3:2.

In the 81st minute, Nigeria's counterattack came.Their No. 4 Kanu broke through with the ball and shot a long shot directly.

Fortunately, Subizarreta hit the ball with both fists.

A corner kick.

The Nigerian No. 9 Yekini, who took the corner kick, ran over to meet him and collided with Alcorta of the Spanish team. This aroused strong dissatisfaction from the Nigerian team. The two sides pushed and shoved near the baseline, and the referee gave Yekini a card. Yellow card, it will be considered to subside after arguing again.

In the 89th minute, Enrique collided with his opponent again during the interception, and the players from both sides argued again. This time, the referee gave Enrique a foul and received a yellow card.

Hierro frowned worriedly, "Pay attention, we already have two yellow cards."

Ferrer received a yellow card in the first half, and now Enrique has another one. During this period, there is no provision for automatic cancellation of yellow cards in the World Cup. If there are too many yellow cards, the game will be suspended.

Enrique nodded, "I see."

In the 95th minute of the game, Guti broke into the middle and collided with his opponent, a free kick from Spain.

Hierro comes over and takes a free kick.

However, because of this free kick to avoid the opponent's wall, Hierro kicked it from a slightly deflected angle and slid out from the side of the goal post.

Two minutes later, the Nigerian team also got a free kick, but their No. 2 Adeboyo kicked high and flew directly over the crossbar.

Because the time was delayed due to a dispute between the two teams, 4 minutes of stoppage time were added.

After Nigeria took a free kick and the Spanish players just dribbled the ball to the middle circle to make a cooperation, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

In this way, in the second game of Group D, Nigeria vs. Spain, Spain won 3-2 and won the first victory.

The author has something to say: PS: In reality, Nigeria beat Spain 3-2.
