How to evaluate the 2018 Russia World Cup semi-final France with Um Titi's header 1:0 victory over Belgium, headed to the final?

in #evaluation6 years ago

It belongs to Belgium 25 minutes before the game, which is exactly Azar.

But after the gradual progress, the French Tibetan mastiff strategy slowly revealed its prestige. The more the second half of the game, the more comfortable the French team played.

Um Titi's goal may be just an accident. Belgium's possession rate does have the upper hand, but France's Tibetan Mastiff strategy has won.

Belgium today released Lukaku back to the middle road; right Lubrone and Shadley, Aldwyd, and Wetters ran and cut, left Azal took the ball and walked a thousand miles; Fellaini The docking should be transferred to the left and right, often with Azar's position to allow Azar to attack the middle. Coupled with the high position to force France to turn around, the first 25 minutes to play France can not lift the head.

However, France also bears the burden of humiliation, and the front line has moved back and forth. At one time, the whole team was within 40 meters of the half.

Some excellent details:

  • When Azar took the ball, Pabad and Mbabe blocked the front and back, and did not let him go in the middle; Azar took the bottom line and passed the left side, and was destroyed by the French Central Road.

  • Matuidi took the lead and broke the ball 6 times; he was very bold because there was Kanter behind him.

  • Kanter is the best hidden in France. He squats behind Matuidi and Griezman. When there is no specific target, he swayes on the left side of De Blaunet to prevent him from taking the ball to find the middle pass; because of his cruising, Bogba and Ma Tuidi has dared to take the initiative: no need to be afraid of losing position behind him. The data simply can't show how important Kanter is.

  • Because the striker's trio retraced, the midfielder has a shield led by Kanter, Belgium is difficult to break through the middle; when the two wings pilling, the middle road only Lukaku a point. France has repeatedly ruined the ball today, and it is a multi-line replenishment. There is always a person in front of Lukaku.

  • It's all because of Kanter's existence.

After 30 minutes of the game, France began to fight back.

Previously, France's counterattack basically relied on Mbape's personal ability, relying on Gritzman's retreat to cleverly wipe the ball or kick the ball into the conversion attack. But after Belgian physical strength, Bogba dared to press.

  • The same is true for Uruguay. When Kanter and Tolso controlled the middle road, Bogba boldly stepped forward.

——When Bogba is not obsessed with the ball, and when he sends out a long distance straight, he will be like a master.

Bogba's goal is smooth, Mbape's assault is reduced, and instead of Griezmann, more in the frontcourt catches the ball and interspersed the ball. So the attack is up.

Belgium has not been able to level out from the defense line that appeared in Japan. The tacit understanding is not enough.

After Umiti’s header was scored, France still had a lot of opportunities. Mbappe's direct shot to Pavard's front, the heel knocked to the ball in the penalty area, is actually enough to form a score. But Kurtova’s performance is no less than Loris:

So after all, 1 to 0.

But to be honest: Giroud can be said to be a waste of opportunities in this field, and Lukaku actually can't talk about any chance; France's counterattack is fruitful, Bogba - Mbape - Griezmann and The two sides are just like an opportunity line. In turn, Belgium has become more and more dependent on Azar's personal dribble. Every time Debrune can breathe and sway a ball, it's always sharp, but most of the time, he can't comfortably take the ball.

On personal talent, Azar + Lukaku + De Blaunet, never under Griezmann + Giroud + Mbape. But the Belgian field, really lacks a Bogba + Kanter-like waist, so Azar has to go back to 40 meters to break through, De Blaunet can only send straight plugs 40 meters away; Fellaini's The ball relay is more stable than Bogba, but his promotion is not enough.

Compared to the beginning of Belgium's violent, the middle of the way, France is at the beginning to retreat, the more lively later. Deshang is not as elaborate as Martinez in the specific tactical details, but his strategy of knowing Tibetan mastiffs has been very appropriate since this year. The starting line is unchanged, the routines are simple, the roles are clear, and the deeper the cup, the more free Bogba.

On the change of interspersed, the first 25 minutes of Belgium is much more gorgeous; but France is this set: playing Peru also only ask for 1 to 0, playing Belgium is also a positioning ball. France's goal after the group stage is all the way to the ball + counterattack + cold shot.

The physical strength is left to maintain the formation, keep the high position and grab the top, and keep the retention density above.

This is the strategic correctness of Deschamps.

Oh, yes: This is 6 games in this year's France, and I won't lose the ball in Game 4.

how to say? This French team, more and more like the French team in 1998 - is the lack of a Zidane.

Those who have experienced that year, remember the year that France?

The goal is to rely on the defender. In that year, he relied on Blank, relying on Thuram; this year by Varane, relying on Um Titi.

Young geniuses show speed. That year was 20-year-old Henry, this year is 19-year-old Mbape.

You are the free man on the 7th front. That year was Djokov, this year is Griezmann.

The true core is the double back. That year was Deschamps + Petty, this year is Bogba + Kanter - although Bogba + Kanter is more like Vieira + Makelele.

A No. 9 striker who has the power but is constantly wasting his chance. That year is Jawasz, this year is Kyrgyzstan - still surnamed Kyrgyzstan!

A coach who was stubborn to not use the league star (Cantona and Ginola, now Benzema) (who was Yakai, now Deschamps).

So looking at it, it’s quite like it, and I’m missing Zidane.

Oh, right:

In the 1998 World Cup, France won the championship.

In the 2000 European Cup, France won the championship.

The 2002 World Cup and the 2004 European Cup were not mentioned.

2006 French team World Cup runner-up.

This is the era of Zidane.

The first round of the European Championship in France was killed in 2008.

The first round of the 2010 World Cup in France was killed.

The 2012 European Championships quarter-finals, the 2014 World Cup quarterfinals.

The runner-up in the 2016 European Championships, this year's World Cup entered the final. The most brilliant moment after the Zidane era is coming.

Why is it so back in 2008-14?

A: In those years, the French team had Benzema.

So, um:

Blame Benzema.
