If the first half of the game is full of passion, although there is no such kind of exquisite passing and catching and passing, but it is still very enjoyable, then in the second half, the performance of the two teams will be It can be described as relatively dull.
The reason why is relative is that in the second half, the German team scored another goal.
But this goal was not so much from the German team as it was from Colombia.
Zapata and Yeppes used to play as a central defender in AC Milan. The latter's strength does not need to be doubted, but his height makes him more disadvantageous when he compares to his tall forward. As for Zapata, the mistakes from time to time make people It's hard to be assured of him.
Pekerman arranged the combination of Yeppes and Zapata, hoping that the two would complement each other, but the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, especially after 2 goals, the situation is always firmly controlled by the German team. At the time, the psychology of the Colombian central defender was also undergoing subtle changes.
To say that in Udinese, Zapata's performance made the world very optimistic, but after switching to Villarreal, he was like most Serie A defenders in La Liga, and there was a serious discomfort. And during this period of time in the yellow submarine, he had worn away the confidence he had established in Serie A.
Although he switched to AC Milan afterwards, he still failed to return to his state when he was in Udinese, not even half of it. The most important thing is that his confidence has never been recovered.
Is like when the game goes to the 61st minute. The German team's backcourt long pass to Gomez, Zapata steadily grabbed the first point, and directly stopped the ball, controlled under his feet, this could have given Colombia a chance to calmly organize, but when When he saw Gomez began to press, he immediately made a hurried relief.
Was eaten by Gomez twice in a row, and this game was planted in Gomez's hands many times. Coupled with years of lack of self-confidence, Zapata was seriously lacking in self-confidence, so when he saw Gomez thumping, he was worried, and he was afraid, and this hurried hurried relief, but the ghost kicked off. .
The ball fell to the foot of Thomas Muller on the left, which was right between the Colombian defense. After winning the ball, he took the ball and entered the penalty area, although Yeppes went to block the first time. But Thomas Mueller made a cross. Moved the ball from the left to the right of the goal.
Royce didn't waste his teammate's pass, rushed to the ball, easily kicked the ball, the ball hit the net, 3: 0!
This mistake and lost ball surprised everyone present, not only Zapata, but also his teammates. Even the players of the German team feel incredible, because this should have been a chance to make sure. Zapata can have a lot of choices, but he chose the most unreasonable one. Even more terrible is the unforgivable mistake!
"It is obvious that this is a serious mistake caused by insufficient concentration. Zapata should take all responsibility for this, and this game he is also the worst player on the Colombian defense. All three goals conceded. He has an inseparable relationship with him, which should perhaps allow Pekerman to reconsider the back line! "
After seeing the German team rewrite the score as 3: 0, the live commentator said with no regret.
Everyone was originally optimistic about Colombia because this team has a Serie A defense line, but who can imagine that this defense line was penetrated by the German team three times in this game. In the final analysis, this is just Colombia ’s past ten A copy of a few years.
Seems powerful, but once it reaches a critical moment, it always disappoints!
"Zapata's performance in this game is indeed unconvincing. The German team often finds Gomez, and in the 9 direct confrontations with Gomez, he lost 7 times, two of which The success also included the mistake made just now, and this transcript is the same as that achieved by Colombian striker Falcao. "
Falcao has a one-on-one success rate of 23% against the two central defenders of the German team, which is similar to the one-to-one success rate of Zapata, but be aware that Falcao is a striker and is Germany The focus of the team's defense, but Zapata is a central defender, this success rate can be said to be extremely bad.
However, the German midfielder ’s three-back suppression of the Colombian midfielder did a good job, especially when passing forward, actively cutting off Colombia ’s pass to Falcao, letting this traditional shooter in the game It is difficult to get a chance to get the ball smoothly.
Falcao is a bit similar to Gomez. Both of them are traditional shooters. They both need someone to pass him instead of scorers like Messi and Ronaldinho who can create their own opportunities. Therefore, when the pass line is cut off, it is difficult for Falcao to pose a threat in front.
Both teams are stuck in the middle, but unlike the German team who actively opened the wing, Colombia's wing was firmly suppressed by the German team. The latter, with a three-back midfielder, obviously made the full-backs more aggressive and aggressive. Open the wing offense, and then suppress the Colombian wing.
Lost the wing, and the middle road fell into a stalemate. Columbia's offense can be imagined.
After scoring the third goal of the game, Yang Cheng also began to make substitutions. He replaced Samed Yesher for the twice-scoring Gomez, who won the next game. Cheers and applause from all German team fans.
He is definitely the most outstanding player of the German team in this game, and all this is inextricably linked to the loose play space created by Yang Cheng for him.
Samed Yeshir replaced Gomez, Schmelzer replaced Ram, Ozil replaced Thomas Muller, Yang Cheng's three substitutions were carried out in succession, the German team completely Controlling the situation, Colombia lost morale after losing three goals and could no longer pose a threat to the German team.
Samed? Yeshir This is the first time to make his debut on a big stage like the World Cup, although Yang Cheng gave him a 25-minute performance opportunity. But unfortunately, the German teenager failed to perform very well in the control of Yeppes and Zapata.
Facts have proved that Zapata also got two one-on-one confrontation success rate after Yershir played, which also made his one-on-one confrontation success rate in this game have not been greatly improved.
As for Schmelzer and Ozil, Yang Cheng is more about letting them find a state after playing and familiarize themselves with the rhythm of the game. After all, after 3: 0, the German team has already begun to slow down ... When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, all German fans in the audience stood up together and were extremely impressed with the team's performance. The warm applause was all happy that the team could successfully win the opening match of the World Cup group stage.
The captain Ram who was off the bench did not return to the locker room, but always stayed on the bench after the game. He led his teammates to the stands gathered by German fans, and thanked this group of fans who supported and encouraged the team throughout the game. This move also won them affirmation and cheers from all fans.
"The game is over. The German team in El Salvador's new water source stadium, with Gomez scored twice, and Royce's goal, defeated Colombia 3: 0, Pekerman's team did not As expected by some outside fans and professionals, the team's first game was directly upset, but suffered a complete defeat! "
"The German team that lost Klose did not show embarrassment on the offensive end. Gomez scored twice with facts. The effect of Klose's absence on the German team is not fatal. He will be the German team. The most powerful offensive arrow. It will also be a powerful scorer worthy of everyone's trust and affirmation. "
For the commentary of the live commentator, Klopp, who is responsible for live broadcast commentary in Germany, obviously has a completely different view. He believes that Gomez's outstanding performance has nothing to do with the loss caused by Klose.
"We should see that Gomez really did perform well. Thomas Muller and Royce also have a big improvement compared to when they played Portugal in the warm-up match, but this cannot be Klose's absence. An evidence of little loss. "
"Klozer this type of striker, when playing the weak team, whether you are on Gomez, or even Podolski and Samed? Yeshir, the difference is not obvious, because In my observation, the German team's ability to advance to 32 meters is definitely the first in the world. When facing the weak team, the German team's midfield and backcourt can create endless opportunities. "
"In this game against Colombia, Yang Cheng went to Schweinsteiger, Sven? Bend and Hedira, but the team still created 17 shots in the whole game and scored only 3 goals. Goals, which just proves that we still have a lot of problems in the 32 meters area, otherwise, we can fully score more goals and score more! "
"Of course, it's not to say that Gomez's performance is poor, but this striker is temporarily unable to replace Klose's position in the national team. I believe this may not be too obvious in the group stage. , But in the knockout game, when the opposing team arranges defensive tactics in a strong dialogue, we will see more clearly! "
As for the host about how far the German team can go this time, Klopp said that he is not clear and dared to make casual assessments, but he feels that although Yang Cheng ’s team does not have Klose, the strength is still Very powerful and still the most powerful contender for the championship ... Congratulations, Mr. Yang Cheng! "Although Pekerman lost the ball, he still had a graceful choice to congratulate Yang Cheng.
He lost the game unfairly. It was indeed that he and his team were not as good as others. Especially when they were not sure at the beginning of the game, it directly led to full passiveness in the whole game. After the German team scored the second goal, The team's momentum was dispelled by the German team, even after the game was not able to adjust.
"You behaved tenaciously!" Yang Cheng also smiled and shook hands with Pekerman. After the two politely hugged, they stood on the sidelines and exchanged, "Your biggest problem is mainly psychological, in the end is still lacking Be patient and stable. "
Pekerman nodded, and sometimes the opinions from his opponents were more objective and fair, and Yang Cheng's words were also his most worrying place. The German team beat Colombia. This layer of psychological factors is also important.
"Adjusting a team ’s mental illness is nothing more than those two ways. One is to let the team mature and progress through the accumulation and precipitation of time, and the other is to rely on a strong wrist to put all People twist into a rope, the former is not suitable for Colombia, the latter needs you to become stronger! "
Colombia's defense center Yepes is 38 years old. Even if he tries harder and actively, even if his condition is maintained well, how long can he play? It is estimated that he will retire after the end of the World Cup, and then Colombia ’s defense will face another round of turbulence and adjustment.
There are also several midfielder star players, as well as Falcao, this Colombian striker is 28 years old and is at its peak. If you miss this period, the pair of players. For Colombia. It's a big loss.
There is a good saying, there is no shop after this village!
Yang Cheng said this to Pekerman, in fact he was not worried at all that Colombia would pose a threat to the German team, or that he would even wish to encounter Colombia again, because that would mean that the German team could Move forward more smoothly.
In his opinion, Colombia looks like a strong lineup. In fact, the weakness is very obvious, compared with the overall balance of the German team. It is difficult for Colombia to get cheap on the German team, there is a big gap between the strength of the two teams.
"Come on. Mr. Pekerman!" Yang Cheng patted Pekerman's shoulder and turned and left.
In the first game of the group stage, they lost to the German team 0: 3. Colombia can be said to be in a desperate situation. If Pekerman is bold enough, he may be able to lead the team to stand out from the group, but how far can it go, it is not easy to say, but If Pekerman is not brave enough, then Colombia ’s World Cup journey will stop at the group stage ... Colombia ’s strength is not as bad as the score shows. This is a strong team, our game Not as easy as many people thought! "
In the press conference after the game, when Yang Cheng faced a reporter's question about the game, he did not devalue the opponent because of his victory. This made Pekerman sitting beside him. I was grateful in my heart.
At least, Yang Cheng is doing his best to complete Colombia and his face.
"I am very satisfied with the performance of the players. I feel that each of our players is very focused on the team ’s tactics in this game. This is the basis of our victory. The key to our victory is that we successfully put the game Dragging into a rhythm that Colombia is not familiar with, and using the rhythm to defeat their opponents, so that they have not exerted their strength. "
"This is not easy for us, because the opponent is a very strong South American team, but I am very happy, we have done well, and have achieved good results."
In the face of Yang Cheng ’s analysis, the reporters on the scene also gave a high affirmation. The German team strictly played a good game in the first half of the game, that is, the first half, the German team ’s attack was very impactful The strength and appreciation are also good, but in the second half, the game looks boring.
Compared to Brazil and the United States, or Spain, the German team's performance in this game is at least within the scope of no disappointment.
"Getting these three points is very important for our team. I also repeatedly stressed before the game that for us, this is a crucial game, not only related to three points, but not only It is related to the team's qualifying, but also to the team's morale and start. "
"Four years ago, we encountered many problems in the World Cup, our group stage was not ideal, and some problems occurred. I told my players that I do n’t want them to be affected by four years ago. We are not the team that was four years ago. We do not need to prove anything. I hope that they will put down their burdens to participate in the game. "
"However, I have been telling them that we lost to Spain four years ago in the final. Since then, I believe that including me, all players, and even all fans, although we have achieved in the past four years Good results, but we always seem to be missing something and missing something. "
"This time, we are participating in the World Cup again, and our goal is only one, that is to get back what we lost four years ago. The champion proves himself, this is the best way to shame our blood four years ago! "
"Of course, I believe my players are also clear. To do this, we need to go all out in every game, we need every player to work together, we can only get the right attitude, To be able to laugh to the end! "
After losing the World Cup four years ago, Yang Cheng shouted that he would win the championship after four years. Now that Germany is already the number one favorite in the World Cup, no one should doubt that Yang Cheng ’s slogan of winning the championship is arrogant. Too.
And now the morale of the team is just right, Yang Cheng feels that it is necessary to burn all the players' hearts at this time, so that they can rekindle their determination after losing the final four years ago.
A reporter at the scene asked Klose. The German forward was sitting in the stands accompanied by his teammates. A reporter met him outside the stadium and saw that he was no longer on crutches and asked Yang Cheng. About Klose.
"We are still not sure when he will return to the court. Although we are all eager to return as soon as possible, this requires respect for the team doctor's decision, and I believe that Klose himself is also eager to return to the court. I am very confident in him and we change clothes. The attitude of the room is also optimistic. Everyone is a united whole. All of us are waiting for the moment of his return! "(To be continued)
