Football King Bale
Chapter 498: Bullfight
With the passage of time, it's now June 26, and the first game of the European Cup semi-finals has been triggered.
The soldiers and horses did not move, and the battle first. Regarding the promotion to the European Cup finals, both teams are extra cautious.
Before the game, Spanish coach Bosque complained of the lack of "Bo sympathy" in Spain's rest time, and Welsh coach Coleman responded immediately. The Welsh people are also putting pressure on UEFA to avoid dumb losses at critical moments.
The Spanish team's base camp is located in a small town on the northern coast of Poland, and each group match has to go to distant Gdansk. In the quarter-finals, it was a labor expedition, flying 1,500 kilometers to Donetsk in eastern Ukraine to challenge France. In the semi-finals, Spain will go to Donetsk again.
What is even more unfavourable for Spain is that due to the end of the Welsh game, Spain takes 48 hours less rest than its opponents.
Spanish coach Bosque blasted: "Our physical fitness will face a big test. The game is running around. Although the team is still recovering, Wales will rest two days longer than us, which is not good for us."
Spanish midfielder Iniesta also believes that Spain has not enough rest time and the team is in a state of fatigue. Spain has only three days off between France and Wales, and Wales has more rest.
In response, Welsh coach Coleman responded bluntly: "Some people say that Spain has disadvantages, but in my opinion, three days of rest is enough."

Relative to the Matador’s complaints about the schedule, the British media are concerned about off-site factors. The European Cup semi-final has not yet started, and the British media has already begun to play psychological warfare.
With the defeat of England in the penalty shootout against Italy, the Three Lions team has ended the journey of the European Cup. Such a result is clearly beyond the expectations of the British media: Wales, which is considered to be the fish belly, first advanced to the semifinals. The "winning champion" luxury division is the quarterfinals, is this script a bit wrong? !
However, whether the English people admit it or not, it is a fact that the Three Meows are out.
In the case of England's "unexpected" outing, the British media naturally turned to support Wales. After all, everyone grew out of a vine, which also made Wales' attention suddenly increase.
According to reports, British public opinion unanimously pressured Platini. The Spanish Football Association President Villar is the UEFA Vice President, and he has a good relationship with Platini. Platini also stated before the European Cup that he hopes Germany and Spain will meet in the final. The British media is therefore worried about whether the French will send Spain to the final.
In the selection of referees, the British media are also worried. Turk Cargill was born in 1976. The 35-year-old referee lacks enough experience in law enforcement and he plays a lot of cards, which may have an impact on the fierce defense of Wales.
In the eyes of the Spaniards, Bell is the most troublesome. Busquets said: "Bell will appear more in the area where Avelloja is defending. Aveloya knows him very well. Of course, if you want to guard against Bell like this Players must rely on the strength of the entire team."
Bosque is also very clear who the Spanish team is against, he said: "He has a threat when there is space, even if there is no space, he can cause great trouble. We will try our best to stop Bell, like As we did at the World Cup two years ago, maybe the defensive players are different, but the strategy will not change."
Aberoya said: "Face athletes of this level must be well prepared mentally and psychologically. I always hope that I can fight against the best players, which is a challenge for me ."

The time went to June 27, 2012, in the evening, Shakhtar Donetsk Stadium.
In the first game of the European Cup semi-finals, Dark Horse Wales faced Spain, the biggest champion.
A showdown between the two teams with the most disparity in the current European Cup.
Before the start of the current European Cup, Spain was the team with the highest odds, and Wales was the least favored of the 16 teams. Even though Wales are unexpectedly in the semifinals, they are still the most disappointed of the four teams.
As for the price comparison between the two sides, there is also a huge difference. The total value of 23 people in Spain is up to 658 million euros, and the per capita value is also up to 28.61 million euros, almost three times that of Wales.
Although Wales's 23-person value ranks eighth among all 16 teams, but Bell's worth alone accounts for 54% of the team. Excluding Bell, Wales can only rank 12th among the 16 teams.
In history, Wales and Spain have had five encounters, with a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses.
Compared with Portugal's quarter-finals, Wales has a personnel change in the starting lineup, with forward Morrison replacing the forward Krovts. Spain rotated one, Negredo replaced Fabregas as the starting lineup.

To commemorate the former Royal Betis player Mickey Locke who died of pelvic cancer, the Spanish team's arms were wrapped in black yarn.
In fact, before the match, the Spanish Football Association submitted an application to UEFA, hoping to hold a one-minute silence ceremony before the game against Wales. However, UEFA has rejected the Spanish Football Association's request. The Spanish players said that UEFA's decision made them a little frustrated, but they will pay tribute to Mickey Roque with a wonderful victory.
Because of the gap in absolute strength and the performance of Wales and Portugal in the game, people speculate that when Wales faces a stronger Spain, they will definitely adopt a more conservative tactic, defend the whole game, and then rely on Bell's personal ability to play Spain. To fight back and fight for goals, just like the game against Portugal.
However, Wales' performance was very unexpected. Although the formation of Wales is still the previous formation of the 4321 Christmas tree, it is actually quite different. Bell is not the one that is at the forefront, but has returned to Wales’ position in the group stage: left-back.
Secondly, after the start of the game, Wales played very aggressively, and they took the initiative to attack. The ball control rate in the first ten minutes was as high as 63%, suppressing the powerful Spain.
Three minutes after the game started, Andy King made a good pass to the right. Ramsey went straight to the penalty area. Morrison tried to pass the ball to Bell, but Peek saw through his intentions and suddenly made a sack to destroy the Welsh first. Offense.
But a minute later, it was a direct pass from Andy King. Bell took a left foot shot from the middle of the penalty area. Bell's shot was heavy, but Casillas, who was extremely brave, flew to the bottom line.
Two minutes later, Ramsey passed the ball and Welsh's right-back Ashley Richards caught up and shot directly from a distance of 25 meters.
In the seventh minute, after David Vaughan intercepted the ball in midfield, Ramsey tried to drive the ball into the penalty area and was successfully intercepted by Busquets.
In the ninth minute, Bell passed a long shot of the defensive player outside the penalty area and was again confiscated by Spanish goalkeeper Casillas.
A minute later, Andy King wanted to emulate the previous performance against Portugal, and took a long shot more than 30 meters away, but it was a bit too ridiculous.
In the first ten minutes, the scene was unexpectedly controlled by Wales, and the powerful Spain was forced to guard against the dead.
This is a tactic determined by the Welsh coaching staff and Bell after consultation. Against a strong team such as Spain, it is impossible to defend by relying on defense. With the good physical fitness at the beginning of the game, everyone will attack first. If you can get a score lead , That’s the best, even if it can’t, it also reduces the burden of defense.

Captured by opponents, Spain didn't gradually recover its state until the fifteenth minute.
The right, led by David Silva, has become an active area for the Spanish team's offensive, but Wales also attaches great importance to the defense of the left, and Bell, who is the left forward, is always back to help the left.
In the ensuing time, the two teams had offense and defense against each other.
Among them, Wales' most threatening attack occurred in the sixteenth minute. Aveiroa violated Bell. He kicked a very strange arc on the left side of the ball outside the penalty area. Casillas judged the wrong direction, but the ball ended up slightly out of the goal.
Although this free kick did not progress, but it scared the whole Spanish team into cold sweat. Since then, they have paid special attention to the location of the foul, and no longer dare to give Wales a good free kick.
Near the end of the first half, Wales again played a threatening attack. Ashley Richards quickly inserted on the right and cooperated with Ramsey~lightnovelpub.net~Passed into the penalty area , Morrison header ferry.
Bell from the left rib quickly inserted into the restricted area sprinted all the way to the front of the small restricted area and shook his head at close range to attack the goal. However, such a close header was caught by Spanish goalkeeper Casillas.
Morrison raised his hand apologetically, and under Ramos's interference, he failed to straighten the top of the ball, causing it to be somewhat high. If he could push the ball down, Bell would be able to hit the goal directly without using his head.
Everyone on the team knows that Bell's header is average.
Bell himself felt a little depressed, not because he complained about his poor header. In fact, his header is not bad now, and he has been added to 89, although he is not as strong as C Ronaldo, but In football is also considered a first-class header player.
It's just that because he rarely used a header to attack the goal, when facing Morrison's ball, Bell first subconsciously kicked it with his feet, but then found it difficult, and when he used his head to top it, the time had passed. There is no good, plus Casillas stands very well, so there is no way to score.
