Headline Creation Challenge
UEFA Euro: Scotland vs Switzerland
Competition time: 2024-06-20 03:00 Thursday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Scotland's current qualification situation is not optimistic, because the first round of the group stage team was a 1-5 defeat to the host Germany team in the opening game, and the second round of the group stage will face the hot form and tournament experience of the Swiss team, if the Scottish coach failed to calm the players' emotions in time after the first game, then after the second group stage, the Scottish team is likely to be eliminated early, for this team that has performed well in the European preliminary stage, this situation is undoubtedly difficult to accept, After all, most of the players in the Scottish team are in their playing years, and if they miss this European Championship, they may not be able to compete in this competition in four years, and I believe that the Scottish players will definitely go all out to deal with this crucial game, at least the team's defensive intensity will definitely improve.
It is worth mentioning that in the last game against the German team, in the face of the opponent's high pressing, it can be said that the Scottish team failed to find a way to crack the opponent's tactics, the Scottish team possessed less than forty percent of the ball in the whole game, and even worse was the full 90 minutes of the game, the Scottish team did not even get a single attempt at goal, the reason why the team was able to score a goal on the German team was still due to the fact that the opposing defender player accidentally put himself in the own way, that is, in the process of encountering the German team, Not only is the Scotland in the awkward position of being beaten passively, but the manager has not been able to change the status quo through player rotation and tactical adjustments, since the German team can limit the Scottish team through the tactics of pressing high, then the other two opponents in the same group will naturally follow the German team's tactical play, once the Scotland team cannot find a way to crack the high pressing, then the team's European Championship journey should soon come to an end.
Ranked 19th in the world, Switzerland comfortably beat Hungary 3-1 in the first round of the group stage, and are now tied with hosts Germany for three points. Because the Swiss team is a strong team with good overall strength, the team not only has a relatively balanced offensive and defensive ability, but also has no obvious defects, so the Swiss team can often achieve good results in the competition. Moreover, because the Hungarian team and the Scottish team in the same group have a relatively single tactical play, so the main competitor of the Swiss team is actually only the German team, considering that the Swiss team has now held the initiative to advance, and the last round of the team will also face the challenge of the host German team, then the Swiss team can only go all out in this game, after all, it is quite difficult for the Swiss team to take advantage of the German team, since the team is to qualify as the main goal, It was a great opportunity to steal points against an in-form Scottish side.
From the perspective of the tactical board, if fans and friends have watched the last game of the Swiss team, then there should be a more intuitive impression of the tactical play of the Swiss team, this team not only has a relatively concise tactical play, but also the tacit understanding between the players is quite good, whether it is a short pass or a long pass, there are basically few mistakes in passing and receiving, and the performance of the core player Xhaka is also quite stable, not only can sort out the team's offense well, but also can instigate teammates to complete interceptions in the stage of switching from offense to defense. It can be said that Xhaka is the eye of the Swiss team, as long as the competitive state of the Swiss team players does not fluctuate too much, and the tactical style of play does not make too many adjustments, then the Swiss team will be able to achieve good results in this European Cup.
Match Analysis:
Scotland and Switzerland haven't played each other for a long time, with the most recent meeting between the two sides dating back to a warm-up match in 2006, when the Scots lost 3-1 at home to Switzerland, apparently facing a regional side of Switzerland's regional defence. Although the Scottish team is indeed facing a lot of pressure to qualify, the overall strength of the Swiss team is stronger after all, and the Swiss team is a team with a very distinctive technical and tactical play, and it can even be used to describe the performance of the Swiss team players in the game with stability and accuracy. There is also uncertainty about whether the players will be able to show their true level under the influence of anxiety, and it is believed that even if the Swiss team cannot snatch three points from the Scottish team in this game, it should not be a problem to maintain the whole body with a stable defensive performance.
