Chapter 444: Passing a Level

Three days later

The final game of the group stage against Germany was a very important game for both teams.

The German team lost the previous game against Brazil with a score of 0:1, in addition to the Nigerian team that lost all 2 games in advance, in the standings, the German team and the Brazilian team are also ranked 2,3 with 1 win and 1 loss, and the Brazilian team has more advantages in goal difference, and the probability of winning the last game against the Nigerian team is also very high.

South Korea will have to give their all in the final game if they want to finish top of the group, while Germany will have to fight for the second place and have a better chance of getting a goal difference, and if Germany wins the game, Brazil will be eliminated from the tournament.

Pre-game

The managers of both sides openly expressed their desire to win the game when they attended the press conference, and the leader of the German side was Bayern Munich midfielder Gotze, who also attended the press conference with the head coach.

The South Korean team attended the press conference on the side of Son Heung-min, talking about this game, Son Heung-min said that he would treat it with the best competitive state and mental outlook.

The starting 11 lists of both sides were announced 2 hours before the game, and it can be seen that the main force of the German team is exhausted, but the absolute core of the South Korean team, Baek Chan-ho, did not appear in the starting list, and this starting list was also questioned by the media after it was announced.

Foreign media are questioning whether the coach of the South Korean team is too relaxed his vigilance, the German team is a traditional strong team in Europe, and it will be difficult to win the game without Baek Chan-ho. And as soon as it starts, it will definitely be attacked by the German team.

The South Korean media questioned whether Chan-ho's father was too cautious. They believe that such an arrangement must have a purpose. Maybe Bai Canhao will come up in the second half to impact the opponent's backline, and there will definitely be arranged players to attack in the first half, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to maintain the score before Bai Canhao comes on the court.

True

Today's tactical arrangement of the South Korean team is that Baek Chan-ho came up in the second half to attack the German team's backline, and there is only one requirement for the first half of the game, to keep a clean sheet, and on the back line, this game is also to enable a young player who did not appear in the first two games.

It is characterized by a good height. He is also relatively strong and has a strong ability to head the ball, and this arrangement is also to prevent the German team from using the height advantage to bombard the South Korean backline.

The captain's armband was on Ji Chengyong's arm, Bai Canhao and the substitutes and the coaching staff took the lead in entering the court, listening to the bursts of chanting in his ears, Bai Canhao and his father walked to the bench together and whispered exchanges.

This picture may not be special in the eyes of fans, and it is not strange that there is an exchange between players and coaches, but in the eyes of the family, this is the first time such a picture has appeared, and Chan Hao's father has been a coach for a long time. But he never appeared in the camera at the same time as Bai Canhao in the national team game, and walked to the scene of communication on the bench.

In the picture, it can be seen that Bai Canhao is very relaxed. I went to the bench with my dad talking and laughing.

soon

The players entered the field, and after the side picking, the game officially began, and at the beginning, Bai Canhao and his father stood on the sidelines together, as if they were helping to direct the rhythm of the game.

Live on the table

The anchors and commentators speculated: "On the one hand, Bai Canhao did not play as a starter today because of the tactical arrangement, and on the other hand, judging from the situation after the opening, will Bai Canhao also take the position of coach after retiring." ”

Such speculations were also uttered with a relatively easy ease of play, and a few minutes later, the German offensive began, and wave after wave of attacks went straight to the South Korean team's half, and the Korean team's players on the field were active defenders all along.

From a physical point of view, the defense suffered more, but occasionally the South Korean team will play a wave of counterattacks, although the quality of the counterattack is not very good, but because of the counterattack, it also made Bai Chanhao and Dad on the sidelines see the holes in the backfield of the German team.

The German team, which is attacking with all its heart, has a breakthrough in the back line, and what to do after Bai Canhao comes on the field, these two people know very well in their hearts.

The players on the field did their best, and at the end of the half, they completed the task assigned by the coach, and when the score of 0:0 entered the halftime, the coach of the German team had turned ugly.

It was expected that when Bai Canhao did not play, he would have to take a lead of at least 2 goals, so that after the start of the second half, it would become a tactic of defensive counterattack, but now it seems that the second half must continue to attack, and in the second half, Bai Canhao will appear, with Bai Canhao's debut, it is impossible to be like the first half, especially the pressure of the defenders, will definitely increase suddenly.

In the first half, the South Korean team had 3 opportunities to counterattack, if the counterattack was replaced by Bai Chanhao, think about the first game, the opening game, challenging the host, in the case of the right time, place and people are at a disadvantage, Bai Canhao completed the single ride through.

I have to say that the head coach of the German team is very level, he predicted a lot, and made relative tactical arrangements, but he didn't guess all of them.

At the beginning of the second half, Bai Canhao, who was wearing No. 7, replaced striker Ji Dongyuan.

That's right, the change is the offensive player at the front, this substitution immediately made the opposing players and coaches nervous, thinking that Bai Canhao would appear on the familiar right side, and also thought that Bai Canhao might sit in the midfield to organize the attack, but I didn't expect Bai Canhao to be at the front.

Looking at the situation of the position, the South Korean team is a defensive counterattack tactics, the German team can not fail to work, if the draw, the South Korean team will definitely be the first in the group, once the Brazilian team wins, the German team will be eliminated from the group of embarrassing situation.

All we want is for the Germans to keep attacking.

In the 62nd minute of the game, there was a mistake in the offensive pass of the German team in the frontcourt, and the ball reached the feet of Ji Chengyong, and he directly looked for Bai Canhao.

Bai Canhao immediately blew the horn of the counterattack after receiving the ball, and the troops invested in this counterattack were a total of 2 people, one was Bai Canhao who broke through with the ball, and the other was Sun Xingmin who followed up in the middle.

It is undoubtedly a very difficult thing for Sun Xingmin to keep up with Bai Canhao's offensive rhythm, gritting his teeth, running forward desperately, and without the ball, he barely has the same speed as Bai Canhao who broke through with the ball.

Breakthrough, there is no flashy action, just shake the center of gravity of the opposing player, otherwise it is a sudden change of speed to break through, and then cut inside, past 2 players, attracting 2 defenders, and there are no defenders around Son Heungmin, who is following up behind him.

Bai Canhao is not a greedy person, after seeing Sun Xingmin's position, he gently pushed it, and passed a good ball, Sun Xingmin took the ball and looked up, and saw a huge goal, with a push of the arch of his foot, and the score was rewritten.

In the 83rd minute, Son Heung-min made an over-the-top pass, Bai Canhao quickly arrived, and when he saw Bai Canhao get the ball, everyone already had an answer in their hearts, the ball would definitely go in, the score would definitely become 2:0, and the German team would definitely be eliminated from the group after this game.

Looking at the depressed appearance of the German coach on the sidelines, when Baek Chan-ho shook the goalkeeper and scored the ball into the empty goal, the German team was completely angry, and the Korean coaching staff and substitutes on the sidelines began to celebrate, first in the group, they did it.

On the live broadcast stage, the voices of the anchor and the commentator were all hoarse, as soon as Bai Canhao appeared, the situation was immediately different, there were 2 opportunities to counterattack, 2 goals, only one point, Bai Canhao's ability is super strong, dominate the result of the game, the opposing player can't prevent him, the competitive state is very good, and he plays a lot of positions.
