"The new players, Augustinsson and Lustig, had played in the match against Belgium before. Although they performed well, was it necessary to replace them at that time?"

"Sweden are now one goal behind. Shouldn't Pan Yi be replaced by a forward like Marcus Berry or a winger like Durma to strengthen the offense?"

"Including adjustments to the forward line, he asked Kulusevski, who originally played in midfield, to play as a right winger, and asked Isaac to play as a center forward. Is that really okay?"

"I feel that after Ibrahimovic was injured in the East Game, Pan Yi was a little confused. The current scene also proves that Pan Yi's adjustments seem to have no effect. Spain still firmly controls the situation."

"No, no, it can be said that the Swedish team relies most on not Pan Yi, but Ibrahimovic..."

This is not the commentator’s doubt, but also the doubt of many fans and experts watching the game.

After the Swedish team lacks a superstar like Ibrahimovic, isn't it the same Swedish team?

What is the purpose of Pan Yicuo's lineup adjustment?

He used up three substitutions so quickly, and Del Bosque stood still. Didn't he lose all his back legs?

Why didn't he launch a large-scale counterattack? What was he waiting for?

"Should he be waiting?" Mourinho said firmly in the stands.

"What are you waiting for?" Ferguson and Wenger walking beside him asked in unison.

"Of course he is waiting for the opportunity to counterattack." Mourinho said, "Although he doesn't know the specific time, he is sure that he is waiting."

As one of the top defensive counterattack masters in world football, Mourinho knows better than the two next to him how to play when the situation is passive, and he also understands better what Pan Yi is thinking now.

"He has made his lineup more offensively and defensively balanced through substitutions and adjustments to his formation. Then he is actually prepared to spend time with Spain first."

Mourinho explained:

"The Spanish team is now one goal ahead and has possession of the ball. Of course, they will not be in a hurry to attack, so Sweden's defense will not have too many problems for the time being."

"And the Swedish team is not in a hurry to attack, which will also make the Spanish team feel reassured. They have the ball anyway."

"But the question is no, how could Pan Yi be willing to fail? Is he waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the Spaniards to slack off, waiting for them to relax due to the anxiety on both sides, and once they relax, there will be loopholes."

"We might say that the Swedish team's offense is too biased to the left, so Spain just needs to block that side. But that was at halftime, but now it is different."

"His style is different from the previous one that favored the left wing. Now both sides have the ability to attack, and the playing styles of the two sides are different."

"On the left, Sweden now relies more on the direct assists from the full-backs, while on the right, the young player Ku... or something can directly shoot outside."

"This approach also makes it less easy for Spain to make mistakes in defense. So... they will wait and see!"

After all, he is not a famous coach. After hearing what Mourinho said, Wenger and Ferguson also nodded frequently.

"It seems like they must never underestimate Pan Yi at any time..." Wenger sighed, "He, you can always come up with some new tricks for him!"

——

Time gradually passed, and the fans in the stands began to feel unable to walk.

Especially the fans of the Swedish team, they all started hyping the names of the players and Pan Yi, hoping that they could do something to change the situation in Yidong.

Even if they were not favored at the beginning, their national team finally made it to the knockout rounds. Who would want to go home like that?

When the time reached the 68th minute, Spain also made its first substitution, trading Thiago for Morata!

After Thiago came on the court, he stood between Iniesta and Busquets, while Fabregas' position was premised, playing as an attacking midfielder or a forward.

If Spain changes its formation, there will be no front line!

This is also a style of play they often used in their heyday, and the purpose is to control the ball perfectly!

It was obvious whether Del Bosque was prepared to maintain the one-goal lead until the end, even the only center forward was lost.

Just like that, Pan Yi was happy.

That would actually be the opportunity he had been waiting for!

Even though Morata is both a king and a double-footer, it is actually quite troublesome for him to stand among the Swedish central defenders with his body.

Although his foot skills are average, his advantage lies in his positive attitude and excellent awareness of grabbing points. He is like a tower outside the penalty area and has aerial dominance that he is proud of.

Moreover, he is capable of protecting the ball in small spaces and creating opportunities for teammates who come behind him.

Therefore, no matter whether Lindelof or Granqvist, they dare not relax and miss Morata's defense. Even the two full-backs often have to pay attention to avoid being caught behind by Morata, who is not slow.

.

That also affects Sweden's backcourt and frontcourt support.

In other words, that means a big center cannot play the important role of the entire team!

But now, Spain does not have a big center, and they are all small and quick.

Well, the Sword of Damocles that originally hung over the Swedes' heads has been removed, which also makes Sweden's backcourt much more relaxed.

After all, no matter whether it is David Silva, Pedro, or Cesc Fabregas, they do not have the ability to attack from the air or make a fulcrum. Does that mean that the three-dimensional attack has become a two-dimensional defense?

There are a lot less things to think about.

Then, the Swedes can launch a more courageous counterattack!

Soon after the Spanish team made a substitution, Pan Yi kept waving his legs on the sidelines, indicating that his disciples could press on one point, and then press on another point.

The general attack has begun!

In the 75th minute, Forsberg got the ball in the middle and passed a diagonal pass to the right. After Kulusevski failed to make an outside cut, he decisively passed the ball to the middle.

Isaac, who was in place in the middle, used his body to resist Pique and directly swung his head to attack the goal, which was slightly wide.

Although he didn't score, the attack made the Spaniard break out in a cold sweat.

How come the attacking and shooting methods make it seem like Ibrahimovic is very present?

When the game progressed to the 82nd minute, the Swedish team formed an attack on the left, and Augustin passed directly from the east end of the pass.

That time Ramos and Pique combined their legs to block Isaac, preventing the young center from getting the ball.

But after the ball passed over everyone's heads, it fell to the right side of the penalty area.

At that time, Kulusevsky cleverly came over, and most of the goals he faced were already unguarded, which was almost the same as facing an empty goal!

“What a ball!!!”

The commentator's shouts were a bit hoarse, and you could tell from his voice how excited he was at this moment. He might have stood up from his seat.

"Kulusevski missed the Spanish goal... De Gea was too late!"

It was easy to tell from his tone that even the commentator was looking forward to the Swedish team scoring.

First of all, maybe it’s because Spain is relatively powerful, and everyone has a kind of complex in their bones about hoeing the strong and supporting the weak;

Secondly, the Swedish team's performance in that game was indeed outstanding enough. It is very worthy of respect and it is worth looking forward to their performance in more time.

Just because the Swedish team conceded the ball, don't think that team is worse than the wrong leg. In fact, if you look at it in the first half hour of the game, the Swedish team's performance was not inferior to that of Spain.

Even if the Swedish team had hope of winning the Eastern Conference, the number of threatening shots was higher than the number of missed shots, but Ibrahimovic's injury later completely disrupted the Swedish team's tactical arrangement.

Since then, the Swedish team has been at a disadvantage and has been beaten by Spain. However, the team has held on to the situation. At least it has not allowed Spain to score more goals from them and held on for one goal.

hope.

Now, as it turns out, Pan Yi's formation and strategy have paid off, and the young player who came off the bench has another chance to shoot. Isn't that exciting!

"The ball...went in!!!!!!!!!"

Finally, the commentator shouted as loud as he could.

When Kulusevski missed the rare opportunity, he very calmly chose to push the ball with the arch of his foot, allowing the ball to roll smoothly against the turf and into the net.

Although pushing the goal is very simple, the fact is that many players will be too excited when facing the opponent, and sometimes they will choose to shoot hard and hit the stands.

Maybe someone will think too much, causing the shooting action to be deformed and the target position to be missed in the end - this was the case with Morata in the half.

But Kulusevski showed a composure that was inconsistent with his age at this time, and gently pushed the ball into the goal!

"Kulusevski!"

"That's his first official goal for the Swedish national team!"

"And that was only his third game on behalf of the national team! Even... even before Pan Yi called him to join the team, he was just a member of the Atlanta youth team and had never played a professional game!"

"It's amazing! Kulusevski's performance is amazing, and Pan Yi's substitutions are certainly even more amazing!"

"Now, Kulusevski has equalized the score for the Swedish team, and both sides have reached the same starting line!"

The on-site commentator shouted loudly, while all the Spaniards either covered their faces in disbelief, or opened their eyes wide and watched what was happening on the court.

At this time, Pan Yi and his assistants rushed to the sidelines and celebrated wildly with the Swedish players who also rushed to the sidelines.

Is that goal so crucial?

Sometimes, a goal is all it takes to boost morale and turn the tide of the game.

Just hope that the goal is scored and the Swedish team equalizes the score. Then Donglai will definitely have a chance of reversal!

Moreover, all the Swedish fans in the stands stood up one by one, applauded vigorously, and sang even louder.

Such applause and singing covered the entire Stade de France and had already drowned out the Spanish voices.

While cheering for that goal, are you also giving encouragement and support to the players present, asking them to keep cheering!
