Lin Hai Liaoqiu Issue 16

Well, first of all congratulations, I guessed right again, haha!

In Spain and France, some people were optimistic about France before the game. Their basis was the historical battle record, saying that France had never lost to Spain in the World Series.

But history is the old calendar. Since the strong rise of Spain in 2008, this is the first time that the two teams have met, and the players have changed. What is the reference value of such a historical record?

Spain is strong, while France is in a period of replacement and reconstruction. It is clear who wins and who loses.

This game also proved this point well. In the face of Spain, France can only defend firmly and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

The style of play is right, now playing Spain, that is, playing Barcelona, ​​and fighting against them is definitely a terrible death. Although he might like the "offensive football fundamentalists", he is ashamed of his supporters.

So everyone will choose to defensive and counterattack. At least there is a chance to win the defensive counterattack. There is really no probability of even one in ten thousand for the counterattack.

However, teams that play defensive counterattacks have high requirements for the success rate of counterattacks. Real Madrid has done very well in this regard. Look at their 2-1 victory over Barcelona at the Nou Camp, which is a typical example. After Sanchez scored, Real Madrid quickly used a counterattack and Ronaldo scored a goal to seal the victory.

Because an efficient counterattack can effectively destroy Barcelona's morale.

However, the efficiency of the French team's counterattack in this game was very bad. It cannot be said that they did not have a chance. They had many opportunities, but they did not seize any of them.

In this way, the loss to Spain is logical.

Spain is still their traditional style of play. Passing can make people fall asleep... but the effect is good. There are really only a handful of teams that can break their tactics in today's football.

The semi-finals were the Iberian Peninsula Derby. Although Portugal was on the rise, they met Spain. I don't think Portugal has enough ability to destroy Spain, so Spain may go straight to the final.

If they meet Germany in the final, then they may defend the European Cup champion. If it’s Italy...it’s hard to say...

Tomorrow morning's game, England vs. Italy, I am optimistic about Italy. England has a poor lineup and an unstable state. There were a lot of problems in the group stage, but they were lucky...

And Italy has a fine tradition. No matter how bad the team's performance is, as long as it can pass the group stage and enter the knockout stage, that is the dragon into the sea, and it has a lot to do.

So I think in the early hours of tomorrow’s game, Italy can beat England and enter the semi-finals.

ps, the last one, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!

Our ranking has fallen again!

For the sake of my predictions in all three knockout matches, let's count the votes! !
