Chapter 457: The Unbeatable Chelsea
It was difficult to resist enthusiasm, and Tang Wu only started half of the warm-up game with Germany, and was replaced by Li Leilei.
As a result, the highlight of the national football team VS Germany also happened in the first half.
No one expected that Tang Wu, who fainted at Anfield more than ten days ago, would appear at the AOL stadium in Hamburg, and even German coach Jurgen Klinsmann felt that this was a rare opportunity.
The Germans, who lost 2-1 to Turkey in a friendly last weekend, are arguably under intense pressure. Klinsmann even had a war of words with Beckenbauer, Honess and other domestic celebrities, and in this game against China, German public opinion set the task of "must win and not concede a goal".
And the national football team co-coached by Alihan and Zhu Guanghu also has poor results.
In the first two warm-up matches, the national football team lost 0-3 to Spain and 0-1 to Ireland. Although he knew the bravery of the German chariot, he still gave the instruction of "victory".
In addition to Dong Fangzhuo being reduced to a substitute in this game, Li Tie, Shao Jiayi, Sun Sun and Tang Wu all started.
When the Germans saw that it was Tang Wu who was guarding the goal, they were full of interest and showed 120 points of spirit to play.
Neuville, Kuranyi, Podolski, Deisler and Schneider contributed 13 shots in the first half, nine of which hit the woodwork, and all of them were saved by Tang Wu.
Under heavy pressure, the Chinese team unswervingly executed the tactics of defensive counterattack. Although it is a little rough in terms of coordination, it is not inferior to the opponent in terms of ball style.
He also had five shots on goal throughout the first half, four of which were within the woodwork.
In the second half, after seeing Li Leilei play, the Germans' offensive was obviously not so fierce, which gave the national football team a chance to attack in the early part of the second half.
Karn, who has the title of the world's No. 1 goalkeeper, resisted and was enough to deter most of the attacking players with just one move of "lion's roar" in front of goal.
The national football team was slightly agitated after several unsuccessful attacks, and the Germans seized the opportunity to counterattack.
In the 67th minute, Zheng Zhi was caught by many Germans when he received Sun Jihai's pass in the backfield, and the ball was cut off. Schneider received a pass and burst into the penalty area, Li Weifeng returned to the defense to foul the tackle, and the referee from Portugal Batista awarded a penalty. Frings took the penalty, and although Li Leilei judged the right direction, he still couldn't prevent the ball from going into the net, and the score became 1-0.
In the 83rd minute, the national football team almost equalized the score. The long-range shot from the middle was blocked by the German defense to the right side, Sun Jihai won the ball and made a precise cross, Dong Fangzhuo shook his head to attack the goal under the defense of Hut, and the ball hit the post after rubbing the top of Hut's head.
This time, the center post made the German fans who came to watch the game boo, making the German players lose face.
In the closing stages of the game, both sides were awarded a number of free-kicks, but neither of them posed a threat to the opposition goal. The final score was fixed at 1-0, and the German team won the national football team by penalty kick.
After the game, many German players came to the rest area of the national football team to meet Tang Wu, but Tang Wu certainly did not hold a stand. Not only did he get acquainted with his old-timer Kahn, but he also exchanged jerseys with Ballack, who had been sitting on the bench because of a cold.
After the game, major German media commented on the game one after another, and their reports used words such as reluctant and difficult to express their dissatisfaction with the performance of the national team.
The German news agency dpa, the German team without Ballack had no order, and Klinsmann's team made almost no progress, and even more so in the face of TOM.
After the win, Karn fell to his knees, fists clenched and pointed to the sky.
The German international has seen him in such a pose when he was a champion or won a major cup competition, and now he is kneeling here to celebrate a warm-up World Cup match that he won with a penalty from Frijns against China.
The performance of the Munich giant reflects how unstable the mental state of the German team is!
"If TOM had been there, Germany would not have won so easily. Even that penalty, we won't necessarily get it! ”
Bild reported: "TOM is known to be a goalkeeper who is both offensive and defensive. In the first half, he only showed a defensive side and made it difficult for the German team to move an inch. ”
"If he helps the Chinese team attack, we may capsize in the gutter."
'Please don't question what I'm saying because that's what it is, and Liverpool have proven it in countless games.'
The domestic reports were unanimously praised, although they lost 0-1, but they were able to fight with Germany to lose only one penalty, and they felt that they had more face.
Der Spiegel reports: Germany struggled to get a narrow victory!
Germany's victory over the national team vindicated their poor performance against Turkey, but the manager's life was not going to be easy anyway.
This time it was Frings who played the savior.
The Bremen midfielder was lucky enough to give Germany the lead with a penalty in the 52nd minute, which they might not have even been able to score if Tang Wu had been in goal.
1-0, the winner is divided, but the two teams can barely cross each other, which may be regarded as the best ending.
The warm-up match ended "successfully", but Tang Wu did not stay in Hamburg for a long time, and flew back to Liverpool that night.
Tang Wu was not there, and Liverpool's performance was terrible.
In a do-or-die battle against Chelsea, the Reds suffered their first defeat of the season at Stamford Bridge.
Traore fouled Didier Drogba in the 27th minute and Frank Lampard slotted home a penalty to give the Blues the lead, before Gerrard's goal levelled the scores, but Drogba set up Duff to score just before half-time, with three goals already on the stroke of the half.
In the second half, it was Didier Drogba who drew most of the defenders as he pulled the Liverpool defence, and finally assisted Arjen Robben to score.
On 82 minutes, Joe Cole's long-range strike doubled the lead to make it 4-1.
Liverpool's big defeat away from home caused turmoil across England.
At this point, who else can stop the Blues?
Following a big win over Liverpool, Chelsea continued their momentum in the latest league round, beating Bolton Wanderers 5-1.
Chelsea have won all nine games so far, with a record of 27 points that are unmatched by any other Premier League side.
I thought it was a situation of competing for the best, but there was a tendency for Chelsea to dominate the world.
How is this possible?
Can't you let that madman go crazy all the time?
After the warm-up match with the German team, Liverpool immediately recalled Tang Wu. Tang Wu went to Hamburg to participate in the international warm-up tournament, which made Bei Bald very angry, he was not worried about Tang Wu's physical strength, but he was really afraid that Tang Wu would be injured.
Gerrard's injury to the England national team has made him suffer, and if Tang Wu is also injured in the national team, Liverpool will really have to bid farewell to winning the championship in advance this season.
For this reason, when Tang Wu returned to the team, Benitez also severely reprimanded Tang Wu.
"TOM, YOUR VACATION IS OVER!" Bei Bald said angrily, "From tomorrow, you will have to change into your team uniform and play." And without the requirements of the club, it is not allowed to leave Liverpool without permission! Got it? ”
“OK!” Tang Wu used his left hand to make a gesture that seemed to be like a non-image, which could be regarded as a reply to Bei Bald.
The day after Tang Wu returned to the team, the six-fingered goalkeeper appeared on the bench at Anfield in his team uniform.
