    Chapter 672 France is not what it used to be

    Coincidentally, after England, which won a brilliant victory in the first game and was tied with a weaker opponent in the second game, surprised the world, Spain also defeated the World Cup champion Italy in the first game with overwhelming force.  , was also tied one-to-one by Sweden in the second game. Compared with the clear qualifying situation of the first two groups, the qualifying situation of Group C and Group D, where strong teams gathered, began to become confusing.

    After losing to England, the Netherlands vented all their grievances on France in the second game. They swept France 4-1 and disgraced the World Cup runner-up. After the second round, England ranked first with four points and the Netherlands ranked second with three points.  , Romania ranks third with two points, and France is at the bottom with only one point - all four teams have a chance to qualify in the last round. England's situation is slightly better, but it also needs at least a draw to qualify from the group.

    In Group D, Spain and Sweden both have four points. Spain ranks first in the group with a goal difference. Italy ranks second with three points after defeating Greece. It must defeat Sweden in the last round to have a chance to qualify. Greece has already advanced.  If Spain is eliminated, Spain may not qualify unless it is defeated by Greece in the final round, but this situation may not happen.

    "England and Spain are not stable enough after all!"

    The media have commented that Spain has always been the king of friendly matches and qualifiers in the past, always winning consecutively in the European qualifiers and qualifying, and then not playing well in the World Cup or European Cup finals.  Apart from Portugal, Spain is probably the only strong team that has never won the European Cup or World Cup. Although Aragones has injected a tenacious fighting spirit into this Spanish team after taking office, the weaknesses accumulated over a long period of time seem to be  It cannot be solved easily.

    As for England this team has always been the most incomprehensible team. The strength of the Premier League and the level of English players are obvious to all, but they always lose key games in the World Series for some inexplicable reasons.  , such as the decades-long winless streak against Sweden - although Sweden is also an outstanding team in Europe, their true strength will never prevent England from defeating them for decades.  Although he loses miserably every time in the knockout stages of competitions, he loses every time. This cannot be explained by luck.

    After Xiao Ming took office, the public's view of England changed. However, after the game against Romania, people discovered that the England they were familiar with was back

    "What did you discover in the last game?"

    The day after the game against Romania, Xiao Ming called all the players together for a collective meeting, and he asked this question at the beginning.

    The players looked at each other. They also played very depressed in this game, especially some of the old national players. They felt that the previous feeling of playing extremely difficult and being extremely depressed even if they won the game came back. It was completely different from what Xiao Ming directed before.  It's been like this in several games. I can attack with great pleasure, but I can also defend comfortably.

    "The tactics and personnel configuration used to play Roma in this game are the same tactics and configuration we used in the European Cup qualifiers before. Except for David on the court, the other candidates and configuration are the same." Xiao Ming smiled: "  But what I didn¡¯t expect was that we would waste so many opportunities and there wouldn¡¯t be much we can do against Romania.¡±

    Hearing Xiao Ming¡¯s words, many players were so ashamed that they lowered their heads. England used to be a regular in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. What about Romania?  They can only enter the World Cup occasionally. Even if the tactics are the same as before, they won't end up like this

    "I don't want to blame you." Xiao Ming sighed: "Yes, our Premier League is now the best league in the world, surpassing Serie A. La Liga can only barely compete with us. Our fans are very happy.  We are also very happy, thinking that since the league is the best league in the world, the national team should also be the best national team in the world But, is this really the case?"

    The players shook their heads silently. They had inevitably had such thoughts before, but they were struggling in the qualifying rounds. In addition, they were not blind in the club. They could see so many outstanding foreign players contributing to the Premier League team's results.  After such a huge contribution, even if they think that their status and role in the club will not be worse than that of foreign players, they have to admit that the prosperity of the Premier League and the strength of the national team actually do not have much influence.  relation.

    "The strength of the league does not mean the strength of the national team." Xiao Ming shook his head: "Few people admit this theory But? Attack, he doesn't believe it. Before his offensive line tears apart France's flawless defense line, his solid defense line will not be able to withstand the opponent's attack!

    In this game, Xiao Ming rotated Beckham and Barry in the midfield. Two speedy players, Lennon and Downing, came on the field. Their idea was to press the attack and compete with the opponent to score goals!

    Although France¡¯s offensive combination is very fast in counterattacking, but with two fast and capable full-backs on the field, do the two full-backs Daniel and Cole need to always attack?  As long as the two of them don't push too far forward, England's defense will remain solid. The French team, which lacks a midfield organizer, may not be very efficient even on counterattacks. After all, the Netherlands played in the last game.  The pressure was also very high, but France still only relied on counterattacks to score a goal

    "The French team of the golden age no longer exists. Now, let us use a victory to tell the French that they will have to wait for a long time if they want to regain their glory!"

    Xiao Ming said confidently in the locker room.

    Seeing the head coach, who has always been considered to have a perfect plan, so confident in the locker room, England's players were also full of confidence in winning at this moment.

    After Xiao Ming explained the flaws in the opponent's defense in detail, every England player knew that the head coach wanted to score goals with the opponent in this game - just like in the last game of the qualifiers.
