The European Cup has experienced the baptism of eight into four, and the team in the championship group has also been officially released. Among them, Spain and France in the upper half of the zone are bound to be in line with the actual performance, one is excellent performance ability, the other is very good on paper, and they are qualified for promotion; The Dutch and England divisions in the lower half of the division are basically not too out of the circle, and they are all giants.
Spain manager: the right choice
Considering the team's form and performance, Spain will inevitably win. Not only did they play impressive attacking football, but they also abandoned the control system strategy that they had adhered to for many tournaments, which was a huge reform. However, the results are really outstanding, and they have maintained the strategy of efficiency as the king in this tournament, activated the performance of young players, and made the manager's tactical deployment very well implemented.
Of course, it is the vision of the Spanish Football Federation that must be praised. If De la Fuente only pays attention to absolute strength, it is estimated that he will not be able to compare with many coaches. However, his achievements and real accumulation in the youth career are simply not comparable to other managers. Spain considered how to return to the past and strive for revival, so they independently found such a coach who understands the ideas of young people, which activates their personal strength and recognizes each other, which is the key point for the matadors to go far in this tournament.
Young people play: the guarantee of excellence
Here we have to talk about Yamal and Nico Williams, who have played well. We have indeed seen a lot of young players shine once, but it is really rare to play well in the season and still be able to play well in the tournament after coming to the national team, and continue to the knockout round. Although Yamal and Nico are very young, they have an excellent foundation and have a lot of games, so there is no stage fright, as long as they adapt to the style of the game mode, they are no different from 25 or 6-year-old stars.
Mbappe, Deschamps: "Little ninety-nine"
On the French side, the biggest problem is still Mbappe. Whether Mbappe plays well or not will be the fundamental guarantee of whether their promotion is smooth or not. Obviously, France has not played well in these rounds, and Mbappe's performance is indeed not good enough. Therefore, Deschamps' next task is to figure out how to activate the team's first living treasure to inspire the team forward. At least, the play of the offensive end must be activated hard, otherwise, it is not safe enough to rely on the way of point shooting to advance.
Mbappe himself must also want a quick recovery. After all, the league he is about to join is the Spanish league is Real Madrid. The competition there is much greater than that of his home league. After the team won the Champions League and league trophies this season, the main question is whether Mbappe will be constrained by the "Green formula", and his performance in this tournament is still the main question.
If his first appearance at the Bernabeu on July 16 comes with the Delaunay Cup, then Mbappe's status must be high; At the very least, we can maintain the same level as the Champions League trophy. On the other hand, if this is eliminated, and it is eliminated by Spain, then Mbappe will have to work hard to prove himself.
In addition, for Didier Deschamps, the match against Spain is also particularly important. Naturally, the French Football Association began to be a little dissatisfied with him, and Deschamps was to blame for playing such a good card. This is a similar problem that Southgate is experiencing.
