Chapter 1124: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat
After the German team's midfield kicked off, the Chinese team immediately pressed up, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu rushed through the middle circle with the fastest speed, Ozil could only pass the ball back to Kroos, Zhang Shujie was still pressing forward, Kroos also passed back, to Hummels, but Zhang Shujie did not stop, continued to press forward, Hummel gave the ball to Khedira, Li Mu pressed up again, Khedira passed diagonally to Kimmich.
The whole formation of the Chinese team was advanced, and they adopted a pressing style of play. In this case, this style of play is akin to a desperate gamble, and the physical consumption is certainly very large, but so what? Now the Chinese team has only one idea: to pull two more balls back.
If the German team can play out, then the Chinese team's defense line with only one central defender will be very dangerous, so for Kroos, the Chinese team should pay extra attention.
Kimmich gave the ball to Kroos, Chen Zihua stuck to Kroos's side, pushing forward is not Kroos's forte, what he needs is the transfer and scheduling of the ball, in the face of Chen Zihua's close defense, Kroos can not deal with it in many ways, but Kroos lacks a ball control master like Modric around him, so when he hands the ball to Khedira, it means that it is difficult for the German team's attack to go further.
If there is no one around Khedira, it is okay, but Xu Ziyi has already stuck to his body, and he is very fierce to grab his ball, Xu Ziyi is not afraid of fouls in this position, and the referee will not give cards. Khedira barely protected the ball and handed it to Ozil, Ozil's ball control skills are very good, he is in the right position of the backfield, he wants to bring the ball forward, but Xu Zhixin immediately pressed over, Ozil turned and pulled the ball, avoiding Xu Zhixin's steal.
Ozil controlled the ball, Xu Zhixin was not far in front of him, in the backfield, Ozil didn't dare to hold it too big, gave the ball to Kimmich, Huang Yu leaned on, put some pressure on Kimmich, Xu Zhixin also rushed over, Kimmich on the side of the space was not large, was blocked by two people, so he could only pass the ball to the goalkeeper.
He Wei said at this time: "The Chinese team's pressure is still very effective, and the German team can't play the ball. If the Chinese team can continue this style of play and can grab the ball in the front court, it will save a lot of time in the organization of the attack. โ
Xu Yang said: "If the Chinese team can score another goal in 15 minutes, then the final equalizer hope may be a little greater." If you can't score a goal, this extremely physically demanding style of play will quickly wear down the will of the players. โ
Manuel Neuer kicks the ball up front. An Rong is the most reluctant to see the ball in his backfield, but no one can stop the goalkeeper from opening his feet. Fortunately, the number of people in the front of the German team was not enough, and Werner also withdrew a little back in the face of the Chinese team's pressing style of play just now, the ball flew over the half, the Chinese team fell in the backfield, Ma Junqiang ran out of the penalty area to catch the ball, and the goalkeepers of the two teams came to an interaction.
In the opening stage of the second half, Ma Junqiang was very eye-catching, but it was a little quiet during this time. However, Chinese fans don't want to see Ma Junqiang too eye-catching, the more times the goalkeeper is photographed, the more passive the team is, and only the less the goalkeeper is photographed, the more time the team has the offensive initiative.
Ma Junqiang gave the ball to Tang Ling, Tang Ling gave it to Zhao Wenkang, and Royce ran up. It is not only the Chinese team that will press and steal, but the German team will also, but they did not do it, and the 3:1 score made it unnecessary for them to take such risks.
Zhao Wenkang knocked the ball to Xu Ziyi, Xu Ziyi gave it to Tang Ling, this time it was Zhao Wenkang who ran forward, Tang Ling passed an overhead ball, and Hector came up to cut off the ball. He originally wanted to take the ball, but because Tang Ling's pass was too close to the bottom line, Hector's break also directly broke the ball outside the sideline. The Chinese team gets a throw-in.
At this point, the German team was about to start making a substitution, and Loew replaced Khedira with Gundogan. Khedira was a little unconvinced when he saw that he was going to be replaced, and when the camera showed him, he was still standing in place for a few seconds before shaking his head and walking out of the field.
"Khedira is going to be replaced. On the whole, Khedira's performance was futile, and he really didn't have any upper hand in front of Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi. Although Kroos has also been broken through by the two again, Kroos's strength is to mobilize offense, and defense is a deputy role, so it is reasonable. But Khedira's main arrangement for Loew in this game is the defense of the midfield, and Khedira does a relatively average job. โ
Gundogan came on and played with Kroos in a back two. Gundogan's personal ability is actually stronger than Khedira as a whole, and even stronger than Kroos in terms of propulsion ability, but after a major injury, his state is a little unstable, otherwise it is doubtful whether Khedira can get the main position in this ball.
An Rong doesn't plan to change people at the moment, he has already used up one substitution place on Ma Junqiang, and he has to use the remaining two places carefully. In the warm-up area, Liu Jianwei, Lin Li and Xiao Feng are warming up, and An Rong will choose to change people more realistically. It's just that which one will go down, I'm afraid he's a little nerve-wracking.
Tang Ling threw this throw-in, he threw it to Chen Zihua, Chen Zihua was caught by Kroos and Gundogan, Gundogan still had some small movements in his hands, Chen Zihua fell in the scramble, and also brought down Kroos, Gundogan got the ball, and ran forward with the ball.
Chen Zihua protested to the referee, pointed at Gundogan and said: "He pulled me down, don't you blow it?"
The referee ignored it and ran away after Gundogan, who was dribbling the ball. Xu Yang said: "Chen Zihua thinks that Gundogan has fouled him, we can't see it very intuitively now, we have to wait for the slow-motion replay." โ
The replay of the picture came out soon, and when Chen Zihua hit the ball sideways, Gundogan did have a pulling action in his hand, which was not very obvious, but it affected the frequency and footsteps of Chen Zihua with the ball, causing him to fall to the ground. Maybe the referee saw that both men had fallen, or felt that Gundogan's movements had not reached the whistle level, so he did not make a decision.
When the camera returned to the field, the German team passed the ball to the penalty area on the left side, who passed the ball only the audience could see clearly, the TV audience now only saw that the ball had flown into the air, Yan Tao and Werner competed for the top in the big penalty area, Yan Tao, who had an absolute advantage in height and body, pushed the ball out, but unfortunately Gundogan got the ball, Gundogan flicked the ball to the left, this is the area that originally belonged to Liang Xiran, at this moment Liang Xiran was not there, Xu Ziyi stared at Ozil again, Zhao Wenkang gave up the defense on the side and blocked in front of Gundoganใ
But Gundogan still shot on goal, and within two minutes of playing, Gundogan got a chance to attack the goal!
