Chapter 369
Therefore, the Spanish Football Association was kept in the dark throughout the whole process until Marca obtained exclusive news and broke the front-page headline.
That's right, this news was even sold to Marca at an exclusive price, and the Spanish Football Association became the last party to know.
As the World Cup is about to begin, at such a critical moment, the head coach announced that he will step down after the World Cup. This will inevitably give fans a feeling of uneasiness.
After all, if Lopetegui has already found his next club, will he do his best for Spain in this World Cup?
After all, having a background is like having already contacted your next job when you want to change jobs. So before leaving, it is obviously more comfortable to slack off than to work hard for the remaining working time.
And without the pressure of results, people will feel relaxed, but they will also lose their desire for the championship.
What Spanish fans cannot accept the most is Lopetegui's behavior of having his eye on the pot while having his fill. When he found a big piece of fat meat, he threw away the ribs in his hand.
The Spanish Football Fans Association even posted a message immediately claiming that Lopetegui was a liar, and stated that Spanish fans would no longer support the Spanish national team with Lopetegui!
Spanish Football Association President Hullen immediately convened an emergency meeting!
"impossible!"
"Let him continue to lead Spain to the end of the World Cup?"
"What does he think of us as, spare tires? Dispensable options?"
"He didn't even inform us that he was going to be Real Madrid's coach, but he announced it first!"
Hu Lun was furious!
"I'm not holding this emergency meeting today to discuss things with you!"
"I'm informing you!"
"Change the coach immediately!"
"I have contacted the legendary Hierro and he will lead Spain to continue to impact the World Cup!"
Hullen was so furious that he even told Lopetegui and his coaching team to pack up and get out of the Spanish training base immediately!
Spanish legend Hierro, a Real Madrid legend, is a versatile midfielder and defender with rich experience in major competitions.
After receiving the news, Hierro decided to take over immediately. For the sake of his national team, he had no choice but to do so.
At the same time, Hierro invited three friends, and finally, the Spanish legendary four-man coaching team was officially formed!
Head coach Hierro, assistant coaches include Barcelona legend Xavi, Real Madrid legend Raul, and Barcelona legend David Villa!
The four of them together formed a new coaching team for Spain, and urgently moved into the Spanish training base to officially lead the team to prepare for the World Cup!
The news spread like a virus. Although there were four Spanish legends in charge, major media and fans were still not optimistic about Spain.
According to the fan vote before the game, Spain's chances of winning the championship quickly dropped to 14th place. As they were in the same group as Portugal and Morocco, even 19% of neutral fans believed that Spain would not be able to qualify from the group!
He Wei also sighed in a special column: "Spain, time is running out for us."
"Changing commanders in the middle of a battle is a taboo in military strategy!"
Spain's last-minute change of coach has made its journey in this World Cup full of more uncertainties.
But the addition of the Spanish legendary quartet has given Spanish fans more hope.
The four coaches rushed to the Spanish training base as soon as possible, joined the team that evening, and started training non-stop the next morning.
Hierro and Xavi are responsible for coordinating the team's overall tactical tone, while Raul and David Villa are responsible for coordinating the team's overall offense.
In addition, Zakaya, the defensive training coach who was temporarily transferred from Athletic Bilbao, is responsible for improving the team's defensive system.
Hierro mainly uses short passes and intensive short passes, emphasizes small-scale coordination to gain more control of the ball, and looks for opportunities through changes in the pace of the game.
