Spain s unsuccessful star formation hides its stunning combat power! It can compete in the semi-finals of the World Cup without entering the national team lineup

When the Spanish national team roster was announced, a group of players with top standards were unexpectedly out of the box office, and the lineup they formed was enough to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. In this 442 diamond midfield system, Manchester City's iron waist Rodri is in the single midfielder, and the midfield barrier is dominated by its coverage area and goal accuracy. The failure of this "World-First Waist" is the biggest controversy in this national team. The front midfielder is connected to the front line by Sanchet. The central-range combination of Barrios and Cassado on both sides is both hard and creative, while the forward line is Ferran Torres and Perez. The two contributed more than 30 goals in the club. The finishing ability of the two to score a total of more than 30 goals should not be underestimated. On the defense line, Real Madrid full-back Carvajal and Barcelona wing Valde form two wings. Asensio and Martinez's central defender combination has both air defense and ball output capabilities, and the goalkeeper position is guarded by Joan Garcia. In this lineup, Rodri, Barde and others should be regular visitors to the national team, but they were not selected due to tactical adaptation and other reasons. What is more interesting is that the strength of this lineup's central axis has reached the World Cup quarterfinals. When Spain is worried about the hardness of the midfield, the existence of this "shadow lineup" is an alternative proof of the thickness of Spanish football talents.
