Chapter 831： Offensive combo

Zwanzig ’s re-arrival in South Africa did indeed cause some problems within the national team, because he expressed his dissatisfaction with the current status of the national team everywhere. When interviewed by the media, he said that he was not there. It just doesn't work.

There are really few people who can say anything about him, because he is the leader of the German Football Association, Nielsbach also blamed him, and Beckenbauer ca n’t say much about him, otherwise, Zwanzig is a UEFA The hat of the chairman's interference in the internal affairs of the member's football association was unbuttoned, and he, the football emperor, was choking enough.

But as Zwanzig vented his dissatisfaction everywhere, brushing a sense of presence everywhere, a letter to the fans signed by the German internationals was posted on the official website of the German Football Association.

"Fans of the motherland, although we are in South Africa, thousands of miles away, but we saw you are in the motherland, gathered in the square to watch the photos and videos of the ball, thousands of fans gathered around the Brandenburg Gate for We cheer and cheer, and countless fans are waiting in front of the TV, silently watching our game. "

"In the square of the Brandenburg Gate, countless fans wore eye-catching national flags to form a black, red, and yellow celebration of the ocean, reminding us on the field that you will always be with us, the people of our motherland A football party is being held to cheer for the team they support and love. "

"Thank you, the fans of the motherland! Even if it is thousands of miles away, we can feel your support and encouragement, you make us more fighting spirit, your affirmation makes us full of motivation to move forward, and your passion shouts to Thanks to our more energetic energy, it makes us stronger! "

"We all know that many media and many fans are worried about the current status of the team. But please be assured that our World Cup road is far from finished, everyone's football feast will continue, South African fans can Buy your tickets to the final! "

"We are confident that we will join all German fans to form an indestructible German team. We are a united team. We all believe that we will be led by Mr. Yang Cheng. Realize our dreams and say goodbye to the past The history of not winning the championship in 14 years! "

At the end of this open letter, all 23 internationals wrote their signatures, which appeared on the official website of the German Football Association, and also appeared on the front page of the major German media newspapers the next day.

Such an open letter is undoubtedly uncommon for the Germans who have always been restrained, and there are many reporters who analyze this. This should be a masterpiece from Yang Cheng, because he has always been a very good at mobilizing the emotions and enthusiasm of players. Head coach.

As reporters dug deeper, they gradually learned more. I know that Yang Cheng specially made a video of fans watching the ball at the Brandenburg Gate to motivate the team, as well as his various initiatives to motivate the team, including expelling Zwan in the conference room Sieg. Re-established the prestige of the head coach of the German national team.

Yang Cheng ’s series of actions made the German media stunned and deeply admired, because for the current German team, spiritual incentives are more important than strength, and Yang Cheng ’s approach is from the spiritual level Come up and inspire this German national team.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel also stood up to support Yang Cheng, thinking he was the best person to lead this German team. I believe he will lead the German team to continue to advance in the World Cup. And she did appear in the stands against the United States at 20:30 on June 26.

Charlize Theron holds Charles and accompanies Merkel, while Heidi Klum and Sienna Miller also sit beside Beckenbauer, Avril Lavigne Also appeared in the stands, obviously all came to Yang Cheng, and Yang Cheng, who had handled the sponsors and off-site matters, appeared for the first time on the coach of the German national team.

Although he did not sign the contract, this is also the first game that Yang Cheng officially served as the head coach of the German national team!

Uh ...

Uh ...

The US team ’s group stage at the World Cup in South Africa is a tumultuous one, and the experience is like a roller coaster. It's a Hollywood superhero blockbuster, and it's Uncle Sam who laughs to the end.

The first round of the group stage was against powerful England. The United States first encountered Gerald's goal four minutes after the start, but the United States equalized the score in the first half. After that, the draw was held until the end of the game.

In the second round of the group, the United States encountered Slovenia, conceding a goal in the first 13 minutes and then conceding the goal in the 42nd minute. They were trailed by 0: 2 in the first half, but Bradley adjusted in the second half. 2: 2 level.

In the crucial third game, the United States ushered in Algeria. First, the goal was blown, and then the game was very difficult, but the United States simply relied on the goal of the last minute stoppage time to complete the lore against Algeria. The first group to advance to the top 16, and the group's undefeated record is also the first time in the history of the World Cup in the United States.

Throughout the three rounds of the group stage in the United States, we can find an interesting point, that is, the start of this team is always very slow, the entry state is slow, the start rhythm is slow, everything is slow, directly leading to the start is easy to be Fall into a passive.

Will Bradley change American tactics in the knockout?

Yang Cheng is not clear about this. He does n’t know or wants to know, because he knows his team ’s problem well, that is, he is not good at playing against the wind, so he must thoroughly lay the advantage of the German team from the beginning of the game and make The most favorable situation for themselves, and then incorporate the game into the German team's own rhythm.

Is different from the third round of the group stage, Yang Cheng adjusted the lineup of the game.

The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defenders are Ram, Mertesacker, Hedira and Friedrich; the double backs are Schweinsteiger and Tony Klos, and the attacking avant-garde is Thomas? Mueller, Ozil and Dessler, the single forward is Klose who returned from the red card suspension.

An obvious change is that Friedrich, who was placed in the middle of the road by Loew in the first two rounds, was rearranged to the right by Yang Cheng. He used to play the right on the national team, but because of the many injuries to the central defender, Wei Sterman failed to participate in the World Cup. Friedrich was ordered to hit the central defender in critical condition, but made a mistake in the game against Ghana.

This time Yang Cheng made him return to the right, apparently hoping that he would keep the right, so that Germany could devote itself to the attack on the left.

Another startling change came from Hedila playing the centre-back.

Hedira is 1.89 meters tall, has height and strength, and is fast. Although the body is not flexible enough, this midfielder has a good sense of complementation and assist defense and a strong sense of position. But the shortcomings are also very obvious.

From the midfield to the midfield, Hedilla has a strong offensive desire, a strong forward consciousness, he has a large range of activities, and runs actively, but he is more often completed in a disturbing situation, he is not Mascara Connaught interceptor with a large coverage area, but like a harasser with a large running range.

As for some fans, according to Hedila's previous performance, he likes to form a forward position and cannot be placed. As the head coach, Yang Cheng has his own set of opinions. He feels like Barcelona is using Alves. His characteristics are there. You use him. You have to bear this risk.

There is no perfect player in this world, and there is no perfect standard procedure for the team player configuration. Even the technical characteristics of the players in each position are different. This requires the head coach to better combine the players. It ’s not realistic to use characteristics to bring out the strengths of the whole, instead of asking the players how.

Hedira technology is average. But the basic skills are solid. He is a reliable ball transitioner, and Hedira is not sticky. He takes the ball out and is very decisive and capable. He has a good sense of position and a tall body. Yang Cheng is good at Mertesacker. Dila was an assist defender next to Mertesacker, and he was also able to give the ball a point on the back line.

This is also the game against Ghana. Yang Cheng looked at Hedila's retreat, the team's defensive performance. I have an idea in my heart, so I want to try it in this game.

The only problem is Hedila's forward consciousness. So Yang Cheng specifically instructed Flick to let the latter stare at Hedira in a game. Once the boy had a little fever, stop him and stop him from going forward.

This approach is a bit like Mourinho was in charge of Inter Milan in the previous life. In the Champions League final against Bayern, Lucio was prevented from inserting.

Midfield arrangement The combination of Tony Klos and Schweinsteiger is not a whim, but an attempt by Yang Cheng. Of course, Tony Klos is too tender, how can he play, Yang Cheng has no bottom of heart, But he wants to ensure that after the team suppresses the opponent, how to form an effective ball control outside the opponent's 32 meters area.

Tony Klos is responsible for postponing the organization, combing the ball path, showing the characteristics of his feet under the feet, excellent overall view, strong organizational ability, excellent passing ability, and at the same time covering his problem of insufficient forward ability because of the organization In the first place, his main accusations were splitting and tandem.

Schweinsteiger's vertical ability is very strong, and he is related to his sideline background, and he has excellent defensive ability, so Yang Cheng let him forward, but also gave him more local anti-robbing and procrastination Mission, let him put in the anti-robbing first time after the team lost the ball, instead of considering returning to his position first.

With Schweinsteiger and Tony Cross playing a double midfielder, Yang Cheng also predicted that the team ’s midfielder defense will be relatively weak, so he kept reminding players repeatedly before the game that he wanted to fight back on the spot. To snatch, it is necessary to exert strong and powerful oppression on the opponent from the beginning of the game, and then create a defensive situation that is most beneficial to oneself.

Compared to defense, Yang Cheng invested more and more in attacking this game.

Because he wanted to push forward from the beginning, Klose, Thomas Muller, Ozil and Desler all entered the other 32 meters area, Ram left is the starting point of the attack, so he also The front insertion was very decisive and positive.

Yang Cheng has three offensive combo punches. First, active frontline oppression and counter-robbing. Once the ball is scored, the counterattack is directly made. Second, the active back is inserted to form an attack ladder. Once the previous attack fails, the plug is continued Form a threat; third, two consecutive offenses have failed, firmly guaranteeing possession of the ball and returning to reorganize.

Before the game, American coach Bradley expected that this game will be very difficult, because he is facing the world's best coach, but he still overestimated the difficulty of the game.

Originally seemed to him a bit young, inexperienced and mature young Germany, but at the beginning of the game he seemed very aggressive and exerted a strong pressure on the United States. Especially in the frontcourt led by Klose, it also formed a strong pressure and interference on the US team's midfield and backcourt.

The game has entered a high-paced confrontation from the beginning. For American players, facing Germany is more stressful than facing England, especially the German team is very active on both sides.

Opening just 5 minutes, Yang Cheng's set of boxing immediately took effect.

First of all, after Germany's aggressive frontcourt counterattack, Deisler and Schweinsteiger teamed up to attack Donovan on the left side of the United States. After the successful goal, the German team immediately formed a counterattack. Deisler avoided the defensive player for the first time and passed the ball to Ozil. He continued to run forward.

Ozil knocked back after taking the ball and took the initiative to complete a two-on-one cooperation with Desler to avoid the opponent's defensive player. After Desler got the ball, he went down the right to the bottom line and the German right wing started from the right The ball crossed the arc and fell straight in front of the door.

Dessler's passing ball landing point is very accurate, just in the area where the goalkeeper can attack, but it seems more hesitant. So Howard was hesitant and ultimately chose not to attack, but Klose took advantage of his hesitant time, then inserted a dry head and rushed the header into the United States team's goal!

"Goallllllllllllllll !!!!!!"

German fans with excitement rushed out of their seats. The live commentator was also very excited.

"In less than 6 minutes at the opening, the German team took the lead in completing their third shot and scored the first goal, 1: 0, the US team was in a backward position again, but this time they can see The situation cannot be reversed again! "

After the team scored. Yang Cheng was not surprised and excited. Instead, he walked to the side of the court and seemed to calmly and calmly remind the players who came out to celebrate. When he returned to the court, he should continue to remain calm. At the same time, he reminded Tony Cross and the back line that they were a bit far from the front court. Pay attention to keeping the distance between the three lines.

After the kick-off, the German team still did not relax and scored at the beginning. Coupled with the fact that the tactics worked very well after the opening, Yang Cheng's offensive combination punches caused a lot of trouble for the United States. In particular, the German team's frontcourt forced and oppressed, hurt the United States. Errors are frequent, and the German team is to catch the opponent's errors and fight back.

In the 23rd minute, another pass error by the US team was intercepted by Mertesacker, and the ball was directly passed to Tony Klos. After the latter got the ball out, the pass was passed to the penalty area to suppress the other two Klose, the central defender.

After the German striker took the ball from his back, he took it back and passed it to Schweinsteiger who inserted the ball. The Bayern midfielder inserted into the front of the penalty area. Seeing that it was a chance, he directly took his feet and shot.

This powerful and powerful cold arrow made Howard caught off guard and watched the ball pierce the goal of the German team again, 2: 0!

"God, the game only took 23 minutes, and the German team went to two cities!"

Schweinsteiger rushed out of the stadium excitedly, rushed to the front of the live TV shot, apparently rushing to the German domestic fans who were thousands of miles away, shouting loudly, venting his goal Excited.

"The German team's offensive after the opening was very decisive and resolute, especially on the ladder. It was very layered and very purposeful. The high intensity of pressure and pressure in the front court forced the opponent to make mistakes. When the opponent made a mistake, he directly played the most The effective and sharpest counterattack, directly forming a threat, the first and second goals are generated in this way. "

"The German team started this game with great momentum. It is obviously different from the German team led by Loew in the past. It looks stronger and more aggressive!"

The premature consecutive backwardness, the American team's position is in chaos, their mentality has also followed up with impatience, several counterattacks have failed to seize the opportunity, and Hedira's assist defense and the ball on the back line are relatively stable The handling of the ball is also relatively concise and reasonable, ensuring that the German team takes the ball in the backcourt.

After scoring two goals in a row, the team's situation was good all the time. The German team's mentality began to relax, and gradually played its own team's strength and momentum, especially before the end of the first half, the German team passed again. After a counterattack in the frontcourt, Thomas Muller received a pass from Klose, then entered the penalty area, calmly started, and hit again to rewrite the score for the German team to 3: 0!

"Very hearty attack!" The on-site commentator exclaimed, "This is the most exciting first half of the World Cup so far, leading by 3 goals. The German team showed a strong offensive force, and Yang Cheng also Surprisingly, he gave an impressive transcript. "

"After Loew suddenly resigned and hurriedly indirectly, Yang Cheng not only led Germany to withstand the pressure and qualified from the group stage. In the 45 minutes of this game, we saw the hearty German team's offensive strength ! "

"Insisting on offensive football is Yang Cheng's coaching style, but the German team's running, offensive level, and control of the ball in this game are all in place, which is enough to witness the effectiveness of Yang Cheng's coaching."

"But now the German team can't carelessly, because the US team is a tenacious team, they can still tie even after 2 goals behind, it shows that this team is tenacious, this is the German team need to beware of the second half The place."

After the live commentator gave a kind reminder, the referee also blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the game. The German team temporarily led the United States with 3: 0, which is almost a score enough to end the game early, but Because the US team has a precedent for reversal, everyone is still afraid to care, especially Yang Cheng.

He knows the current situation of the German team very well, so he also reminds the players constantly during the halftime, be careful.

Unexpectedly, they still made a mistake! (To be continued)
