As before, Spain had to play two wingers, especially Williams for his breaking power, while Germany seemed to hold back on their pre-eminence. Germany left their mainstays Wirtz and Andrich behind this time, and seemed to commit to a duel in the second half. Both sides have their calculations.
Only a minute into the game, Pedri hit the wall with a teammate for an 18-yard field goal. When Germany saw the play, he immediately began to increase physical contact. With only three minutes to go, Germany was cut off while attacking upfield. As Pedri was about to receive the ball for a counterattack, Kroos suddenly rushed up and kicked him over, he was still flipping around in the air and fell heavily to the ground as Pedri was taking advantage of the trend to accelerate the ball. He didn't expect Kroos to come at him out of nowhere, so this was pretty heavy.
Kroos almost touched the ball a little bit, but it was still a foul, but the game was just getting started. The referee probably didn't want to hand out cards like that in the first period, and there were rumors afterwards. Because it was Kroos, the referee was polite to him. However, the foul Kroos didn't get a card after the game, which caused controversy.
Pedri's collision was too heavy to be treated off the field still. As a result, he had to be taken off in 7 minutes and replaced by Olmo. Spain lost their midfield general in less than 10 minutes.
Olmo came on and preferred to break straight through the midfield, the German defense was challenged, Williams on the left still had a strong break, Kimmich actually held him a little bit and Williams soon started to create a threat by moving across the box line
After 30 minutes, Williams threatened even more, having already taken a pass from Olmo into the box and wreaked havoc on the wing, Sané I had withdrawn deeply from the keeper with Kimmich, but I was played by Williams brushing the tape. At this point, Germany was about to lose control in the midfield, and it was not easy to counterattack, no matter how Sané. é, Musiala, Gündo?an had already struggled to move forward quickly.
However, Havertz had headers and tackles when Germany only attacked the Spanish box a couple times. Obviously, the Spanish center backs have problems. When Havertz took off, there was no one to compete with him. Even with Havertz standing at 194, the Spanish defense was strangely unoccupied with anyone jumping.
The first half ended under a stalemate, the second half began both teams changed, Germany directly removed San, unable to attack. éEmreCan, the midfield was ineffective, replaced Andrich and Wirtz, at this time has completely become the complete formation of Germany at the beginning of the European countries, while Spain unexpectedly replaced Normand, replaced Nacho, Normand has eaten to a yellow card the top four would be banned, it was logical to let him play the whole game, but it was a big change to be replaced at halftime, Normand might have had some problems could have been replaced at center back at halftime.
Andrich is an attacking full back and Spain, already sensing that Germany were looking to press in the second half, immediately pressed on all cylinders in the opening half, freeing up Carvajal's attacking power to push straight forward, and with Andrich surprisingly underperforming when he came on, Spain immediately gained control of the midfield.
In the 50th minute Spain used Morata to suddenly retreat from the front line to get the ball and then pass it straight to the right.Yamal singled out Raum who thought he was going to go down. Yamal suddenly passed directly to the center of the 17-yard box, where Olmo shot from the back of the net.
Spain easily breaks the German defense. André has retreated to the line on this ball, but there are enough men on the German defense. He should actually go a bit further forward, but he only looks at Morata, who has not yet arrived, and completely ignores Olmo, who is running from the other side.With Kroos older, this defensive line work should be done by Andrich, which is substituting for the physicality, but he is clearly out of form.
Germany immediately began an all-out counterattack, freeing up Raum to attack and put Spain under pressure for a while. However, Spain continued to counterattack using Williams and Yamal, and Germany did not have an easy time at the back. Germany then replaced Raum and Gam. ündo?an, replacing Mittelstädt with Füllkrug, and at this moment, Germany turned into an all-out attacking formation, which had become Havertz and Fü double striker llkrug, with the left back replaced by the attacking Mittelstel. ädt, and at the same time, freeing the right back Kimmich to bring him forward, has almost turned into a 442 strong attacking Spanish position.
