Perhaps it was because during the European Cup, Portugal played a bit worse when playing against the German team, so the start of this game is more for stability, with a stable defense, plus a sharp counterattack to win .
In the starting lineup of this game, Yang Cheng arranged for Gomez to start, the goalkeeper was Neuer, the defenders were Schmelzer, Bad Steuble, Mertesacker and Ram, after the double The waist is Schweinsteiger and Sven Bend, the attacking avant-garde is Thomas Muller, Ozil and Royce, and the single forward is Gomez.
According to Gomez's technical characteristics, Yang Cheng adjusted the team's offensive tactics.
Gomez is not Klose's comprehensive, he is a killer, need someone to pull him, pass him, create opportunities for him, so Yang Cheng has never denied Gomez's strength, he just It has never been possible for a Gomez to change the offensive system that the team has been running for so long.
After the adjustment, the German team's offensive was obviously weakened a lot, at least because Gomez couldn't pull and retreat like Klose, which caused other people's play to be restricted to some extent, because Gomez Yang Cheng let Thomas Muller and Royce resolutely pull the wing.
In Yang Cheng ’s opinion, Gomez is very interesting. You said that he is the type of Inzaghi terminator, but he is not like Inzaghi. The gap with Inzaghi is really not a little bit.
Uses a simple example to illustrate this point, to see who is more effective after the bench comes to know!
Maybe someone will say, what can you prove by coming off the bench?
Came off the bench and looked at a player ’s quotient and reading ability. In this respect, Gomez was a weaker player.
But Gomez's body and speed are very good, which makes him burst out once he plays smoothly, the effect is also very obvious, and if he wants to give him his own advantages. Then he has to find space to use his strengths, so the two wingers have to pull, especially considering. Gomez often has to stop the ball before shooting. Once the space is dense, the effect is very poor.
Of course, at the height of Yang Cheng, he would not say who is good and who is bad, because in his view, there is no parallelism in this world. The so-called parallel import is that you bought it at a high price, but you do n’t know how to use him, and you ca n’t make use of his advantages, so it is called parallel imports, so many parallel imports often change immediately after a team.
There are also some parallels not because the head coach will not use it, but consider that he will need to adjust the team to many aspects. Disrupt the overall deployment of the team, if the head coach feels that this player has such value. Then he will change for him, and in turn, if the head coach feels no, then he will give up this player, which caused parallelism.
Yang Cheng has talked to Gomez many times. He feels that Gomez's playing style is too dependent on his body. Now he is a little better. But when he gets older, this style will definitely not be sustainable. The characteristic of Gomez is that it is a type that does not help the team's offense once it can't score a goal, not even anti-robbing.
This is a bit similar to Da Inzaghi, so for this player, Yang Cheng is also tangled!
In this game, Yang Cheng tried to show the characteristics of Gomez. Putting Thomas Muller and Royce on the side, let Ram and Schmelzer both aggressively press the attack, and Gomez also lived up to the expectations, using an opportunity in the 35th minute to receive After Ozil's pass, the ball was stopped and volleyed to set the first record for the German team.
But the price paid by the German team is also heavy, Thomas? Mueller and Royce have lost their threat.
Sometimes, Yang Cheng will also read some messages from fans on the Internet. Many Gomez fans leave messages to him, thinking that as a shooter, Gomez has done a very good job, why Yang Cheng would rather With the old Klose, he would not use the old Gomez.
The answer given by Yang Cheng is actually simple. What modern football needs today is comprehensiveness and versatility.
Yes, as a shooter, as long as you know how to score goals, the problem is that the emphasis of football now is that the defense starts from the forward, and the emphasis is on the team's coordination, one will only score goals, but other contributions With few forwards, the team has played well, you can score multiple goals, but once the team is contained, it can only become 11 of 10!
When any team is thinking about the problem, it will never only think about how to play when the ball is downwind, because even if you put a goalkeeper on the forward line, you can still take it down, you can still score goals, as long as You have created enough opportunities. For a head coach, the real key is precisely how difficult it is for you to create opportunities, or even when you cannot create opportunities, how can your players solve this situation!
At this point, Klose is a lot taller than Gomez!
So, in the first half of the game with Portugal, although Gomez scored, but Yang Cheng is still very sure that the German striker position belongs to Klose!
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to make progress!" Yang Cheng looked at Gomez on the court and shook his head helplessly.
Benitez also felt that this possibility was unlikely, and shook his head, "If you say this, it is estimated that there will be many fans scolding you."
"But this is honest!" Yang Cheng looked at Benitez and said solemnly, "Technology, consciousness, body, Gomez is 29 years old, the technology is completely stereotyped, and there is no way to improve, His physical function will also begin to decline year by year. With the increase of injuries, he will become more powerful, but his consciousness has always improved slowly! "
Is not without progress, but the pace of progress is slow!
For example, Yang Cheng has criticized his frontcourt robbing, and Gomez will also participate in the robbing from time to time, but more is to meet Yang Cheng's request, which makes him little progress in this area. In addition, Yang Cheng hopes that he will turn More off-ball development, but Gomez has never been able to correct some of his own problems.
The player ’s career needs constant learning, continuous improvement and improvement, but it is obvious that Gomez has not been effective in learning and improving, but with his current strength, he is still a top scorer in Europe, but That's all.
"Relatively speaking, Samed Yesher is worth watching. This kid will hope for the German striker in time!" Benitez also praised the teenager.
However, in the second half, Yang Cheng made a large-scale substitution, for example, replacing Kemes with Kiesling. Some other marginal players also got the chance to play, but several players including Samed Yesher, Goetze and others always sat on the bench and failed to get a chance to play.
The team played more passively in the second half. Ronaldinho's goal helped Portugal to equalize the score. In the end, the warm-up match ended with a 1: 1 draw between the two sides. The German team looked more general.
After finishing this warm-up match, it was time for Yang Cheng to announce the national team's 23-man roster for the Brazil World Cup. Some of the players on the team already know that they are unlikely to remain on the team, while others still have a glimmer of hope ... Neuer, Adler, Ziller, the three goalkeepers are the country Three insurances in front of the team's goal, no need to doubt! "
In Yang Cheng ’s office, the core members of the coaching staff gathered together, and the team leader Bieerhof also participated in this meeting because Yang Cheng decided to make a list of 23 people tonight, and then Announced tomorrow.
Goalkeeper is the most stable link in the national team. After the end of the Confederations Cup, Neuer's performance became more and more stable, and his performance was getting better and better. The defensive contribution to the team is very large, which makes everyone full of expectations for him.
"Ram, Jerome Boateng, Humels, Bad Steuble, Mertesacker, Schmelzer, Hevedes, this back line has no problems, in the past During this period of time, they cooperated with each other and were familiar with the team's defensive system. They should continue to use them! "
Paul Bayer is analyzing the components of the 23-person roster against everyone. Most of the core main players have little suspense. For example, Ram is the captain of the national team. The performance of the back line has also been stable. These players are likely to be selected, without any suspense.
"Thomas? Mueller, Özil, Sven? Bender, Lars? Bender, Royce, Podolski, Schweinsteiger, Tony? Clos, Goetze, Hedira ... … "Paul? Bayer gently remembered the names of these players, they are regulars and main players of the national team, or important rotation players, Yang Cheng very much trusts and affirms them.
"They also have no major problems in selection, the front line is Gomez. And Samed? Yesher!"
When mentioned Samed Yeshir's name, there was a discussion in the office.
This player is young and has never participated in the national team competition. Although he has performed well in several training sessions, it is indeed too young. If Yang Cheng really decides to take him to Brazil, I am afraid he is not expected to play. The ball, or non-stop goals, is more to familiarize him with the atmosphere of the World Cup.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Samed Yesher can be a hit, just like Thomas Muller at the time, but it is unlikely. After all, Yang Cheng ’s team and the team during the Luff period It is completely different. Now the German team has a more complete system, and everything must serve the system.
"Gomez and Samed Yesher on the front line?" Bierhof looked at Yang Cheng strangely. He felt that it was not enough to bring these two strikers. This should not be like Yang Cheng's. style.
"No, there is Klose!" Paul Bayer said.
Bierhof counted the list, plus Klose, just 23 people.
"If I remember correctly, Wolfart evaluated his body before, thinking that it is impossible for him to return to the court before the World Cup, so you still have to take him?" Bierhofer wrinkled With a frown, he looked at Yang Cheng, which was also his biggest worry for this list.
Asked the team leader, everyone else remained silent, because this matter has now become the matter of the coach Yang Cheng and the management of the national team, they can not participate in it.
"Samed Yesher was only 19 years old. Although he performed well in the league, it was a league, but once he reached the World Cup, I do n’t think he could exert much power and effect. If he brings another injury Klose, who has not recovered, our list is equal to 21 players plus 2 active downsizing. "
When talking about this, Bierhof shook his head and looked at Yang Cheng, "Do you want to think about it again?"
Klose's current situation is troublesome. After meniscus surgery, his recovery period has been delayed. After dragging on and off, it is almost 2 months now, but still unable to return to the training ground, if this is the case. Yang Cheng still took him to Brazil, but if he couldn't play because of injuries, then ...
"According to the rules, FIFA stipulates that we can change players on the ground of serious injury 24 hours before the first game. So we still have enough time to wait!" Yang Cheng replied.
The FIFA ’s rule is to submit a 30-man roster in mid-May, and then submit a 23-man roster in early June, and the 23-man roster must be from the 30-man roster, but 24 hours before the first game, any The team can replace the seriously injured player.
"That was for players injured in training and warm-up games, but you were injured when you signed up now. FIFA may not give in by that time!" Bierhoff shook his head and smiled bitterly. In the loophole.
Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "No matter what. I'm not going to give up Klose!"
After a pause, he explained: "With Klose and without Klose, it is very important for the offensive of the German team!"
"We do n’t have the kind of players with super personal capabilities, which limits our team ’s offense. When we encounter restrictions, we lack the kind of stars who can open the situation by personal capabilities, so we have to walk the team. Cooperation route, which requires that our striker is not just a scorer, but also a tactical axis! "
This problem is also a long-term trouble for the German team. Since no one can complete these things, it can only be done by the team, and naturally the team needs to have team awareness and cooperation. This is very lacking in the current German football field. The weakest Gomez is at this point. He is a shooter, but not a tactical pivot.
"Our ability to advance to the 32-meter area, I dare to say that no national team in the world can compete with us, and as long as Klose is there, plus Thomas Muller, Royce, Podol Sky and Ozil, I am sure that we can make the most offensive in our 32-meter area! "
"Without Klose, playing the weak team has little effect, but once the strong dialogue is reached, when the other party tightens the camp in the 32-meter area, we will become helpless, there is no way to take them!"
Bierhof has also played football himself, he naturally knows Klose's role, so he also knows Yang Cheng's thoughts and worries, but if he wants to take risks for this, is it worth it?
"I said a year ago that there are two ways to solve this problem. One is to find a successor to Klose. Samed Yesher is still very young. Gomez is still not good. The other is Looking for a player with super personal abilities, but the problem is that we don't have this type of player! "Yang Cheng was helpless.
The point of the German youth training system is that the players cultivated are team-type. No matter from which aspect, there is no one who has super personal ability and excellent single-handed ability. This has to be said to be A big difference in the German football youth training system is something Yang Cheng did not think of.
Özil, Goetze, Royce ... this group is famous in Europe, all of them are team-type, they are strong when there are people around, but once they want to be on their own, I am sorry, they are completely Helpless.
Players with really good personal abilities are like Messi, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Robben, Ribery, Aguero. They are all casually one-on-one, even occasionally. Too many, it looks like the one with ease, but can such a player be found in the German team?
"For Klose, I don't need him at all in the group stage, so I have enough time to wait, and I also believe that he will be able to return to the court because no one knows him better than me!"
The three opponents in the group stage are not strong, the German team has enough strength advantages, Yang Cheng is sure to be able to kill his opponents without Klose, but in the knockout, he does not know, after all, who is the opponent? What is his strength is unknown.
"Don't say it's a quota, Oliver." Yang Cheng looked at Bierhof and smiled slightly, "Even with two quotas, I will take Klose to Brazil without hesitation!"
Yang Cheng has spoken all this, Bierhof can also feel the determination in his heart, and Klose is indeed the most important player in the German team, so Yang Cheng really wants to take it hard. Klose, Bierhoff and others can only listen, after all, the national team Yang Cheng has the final say.
In other words, Yang Chengken explained, patiently speaking his own ideas, this is already the greatest respect for them. If they are replaced by a bad temper, simply talk directly, I want to bring it, what do you want to do? Whatever they do, no one can control, then what can they do with Yang Cheng?
"Although that is said, but it is foreseeable that once this list is released to the public, the group of journalists outside will definitely be upset again!" Bierhoff smiled bitterly and dealt with this difficult reporter all day Bierhoff can be said to be as big as a head. If Yang Cheng ’s list is announced, it will be even more headache.
"Do what we think we should do, what do they do?" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
As long as they can get good grades, who would say more about the group of journalists who have no morality? (To be continued)
