Chapter 9: Offensive Scavengers
In the next three days before the race, the old horse was entangled by Ling Feng.
Two football psychopaths, and both of them are king-level figures, once it comes to such a way to help play in the game, it must be the same as a martial idiot seeing a peerless secret book.
Some of the methods that the poor old horse has thought of in the past few years since he was banned have been completely plagiarized by Ling Feng.
However, Lao Ma was not annoyed that his stunt at the bottom of the box was forcibly abducted by Ling Feng - after all, some of the actions of raiding and shooting were just Lao Ma's imagination, and he had never practiced it himself, and he also wanted someone to help him test it.
But the problem is, it's not so much to ask!
Now Ling Feng is like a curious baby, and the old horse doesn't even have time to go to the toilet.
In the end, Lao Ma could only say to Ling Feng like this: "It's going to be a game in two days, you better go and rest, this kind of thing can't be rushed, even if you can know the theory, but it can't be used without years of practice, you can't always waste opportunities in the World Cup, good, go wash and sleep......"
Indeed, like Maradona, they are the kind of people who are old and refined, the so-called old and immortal is a demon, although the old horse is not very old, but the experience on the football field can be described as the world's top level, few people will use their brains when they are players, but when they retire and look back on their careers, they often sigh: "Hey, it would be nice if I had handled the ball like this at that time......"
Decades of experience, unrivalled wealth! If these madmen like Pele, Maradona and Cruyff are rejuvenated and returned to the green field, they may all be able to form a threatening shot or pass anywhere in the opposition half.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, but this is the so-called realm, although Ling Feng was also quite bullish in his previous life, but compared to the level of the old horse, it is still far from enough, Rao is so, his experience after reincarnation has made his own skills easily reach the current level of the ball king - let's YY, what will the old horse look like if they are also reincarnated?
(Eh, which brother said, maybe reincarnated in ancient Rome and sold to the gladiatorial arena, the thing of the Time and Space Administration, tsk, even if you go back with the star team, you may not be able to be the boss, and if you don't get it right, you will go back to the last years of the Shang Dynasty to single-handedly take on the Twelve Immortals of Kunlun or the Master of Tongtian...... )
Just kidding to spice up the mood, Ling Feng and Lao Ma are studying how to deal with the German team.
Although Germany and Yugoslavia are both European powerhouses, they are also comparable in terms of strength, but they are much worse in style - or in other words, the style is much worse now.
Known as the Brazilian team in Europe, Yugoslavia's style is mostly based on technical ball control, although it also plays headers, but it still tore apart the opponent's defense with cooperation, and the game with the Chinese team is like this, and it is really impossible to attack the penalty area before taking the side.
The German team was different, or rather, different now.
Since the fifties, the mainstream of world football has been technology, delicate coordination, pleasing techniques and tactics, and wonderful offensive battles.
In the 1974 World Cup final in Germany, the German team led by Beckenbauer faced the Dutch team led by Cruyff, the two sides played offensive football, and the attack was smooth in normal games, and finally the German team defeated the Netherlands 2:1 to win the Hercules Cup, which was also known as a classic encounter in the World Cup.
In the star-studded 80s, under the glory of Platini, Zico, Maradona and other No.10s, a No.11 player was equally amazing, that is, the German team's No. 11 at that time, one of the best right wingers in the history of world football - Rummenigge.
Unfortunately, at Bayern Munich, Rummenigge and the unruly old hooligan Schuster fell out at the '80 European Championships, and people couldn't enjoy the performances between Germany's brightest stars in the '80s, but they still couldn't hide the brilliance of the German team at that time.
Here I have to mention Pele's old crow, after Rummenigge scored a hat-trick with an injury in the 1982 World Cup, the old crow stood up and made a big statement, saying: "As long as Rummenigge is there, the German team will be able to participate in the final!" ”
The old crow's words were surprisingly successful once, but they hurt Rummenigge even more - in 1982 and 1986, Rummenigge did make it to the final, but both did lose the game - once to Paul•, Rossi, and once to Maradona.
In the Italian summer of '90, the emperor of football, Beckenbauer, took on the role of coach this time, and his troika - Mateus, Klinsmann and Bremer - once again took the lead of the German team, and the German contemporaries should not be underestimated, Hasler, Müller, Litbarski and Worrall.
And after them......
Originally, the German team had a chance to be renewed.
There was no shortage of talent in the German team in the 90s, and it was not without great talent, the damned tiger Effenberg and Mateus's successor, Summer.
It's just a pity that the tiger can't return to the national team because of the awkwardness, but Sameer has been riddled with injuries, and the German team has no choice but to bring a large number of veterans until this year's World Cup, among which the shortest highlight player in the national team is only Bierhoff, who has just celebrated his thirtieth birthday.
(Brothers who play Pro Evolution Soccer can check out the information of the old German team, all players who are versatile from attack to defense!) )
Therefore, the current German team can no longer play the smooth cooperation of the past, so their style will naturally change with the main offensive figures in the team.
Now the soul of the German team's attack is Bierhoff and Klinsmann, one is known to be able to head out of the arc outside the penalty area, and the other is a golden bomber, the two scored a goal each in the game against the United States, so now the style of the German team has changed from the original elegance to the current almost savage style of play.
However, this style of play is what Lao Ma and the Chinese team are most afraid of!
The physical fitness of the Chinese team is strong in Asia, but it is obviously not a grade compared with the Europeans, especially the Chinese team's backline, the ability to defend high-altitude balls is really too weak, and Yugoslavia has been beaten by the other party, not to mention that Wang Ba is now eating scales - the Germans who are determined to hit the header!
When playing against Yugoslavia, the two sides fought a technical battle, relying on six players, including Jia Lingfeng, to barely prevent the opponent's high-altitude bombing, the German team's air advantage is a notch higher than that of Yugoslavia, even if there is an advantage on the ground, unless the Germans are not allowed to take the ball, otherwise - Fan Zhiyi, the strongest player in the Chinese team except for Ling Feng, is not necessarily a brute like Bierhoff A few hits.
However, what makes Ling Feng and Lao Ma happy is that Effenberg's stubborn tiger did not return to the national team, and others ignored the strength of the German tiger because of the overall brilliance of Florence, can Ling Feng and Maradona still not know? !
If Effenberg returns to the national team, with his planning and organization in midfield, the next game of the Chinese team can be said to be undefeated – provided that the German Tiger does not extend his elegant middle finger to his home fans......
Of course, Maradona and Ling Feng now know a secret, that is, the German team is not so united in the current team.
Although, as usual, the German national team is dominated by Bayern players, but there are almost irreconcilable contradictions between the core players.
The reason for the contradiction happened to two of the heroes of the '90 World Cup, Jurgen Klinsmann and Matthaus.
When Ling Feng was still in the Bundesliga last year, the duo of Klinsmann and Mateus played against Ling Feng, but Ling Feng patted his ass on the front foot and went to Fiorentina, and Klinsmann also ran away with his back foot.
Because of the feud between the new head coach Trapattoni and Klinsmann, and the opinion of the Golden Bombers in the team is quite large.
Klinsmann and Mateus, the golden stall of the two who have been galloping in Europe for nearly ten years, the relationship between the two of the troika is now abnormally deteriorating!
And then, naturally, with these two guys at the head, there was a big split in the German team, forming two factions - Bayern and non-Bayern.
The heroes of the World Cup in 90 are now left with Mateus, Klinsmann, Coral and Muller, and now only Mateus plays for Bayern, and Bayern's group is no longer as large as before, so now the non-Bayern faction has the advantage.
There are also neutral players, such as Koltz, who squeezed out Lehmann and became the third goalkeeper of the German team, called Ling Feng to complain, saying that he couldn't stand the sparks in the air during the meal, and now he was about to have stomach problems......
Just look at the 06 World Cup, after Klinsmann became the head coach of the German team, he immediately made a big change in the coaching team, driving away some of Bayern's main coaches and replacing them with his old acquaintances - team leader Bierhoff and goalkeeper coach Kopke.
And Klinsmann also supported Lehmann to squeeze out Kahn's position, while Matthaus, who was not angry about this, bombarded Klinsmann as a "cold-blooded animal" in public!
But what's the use of knowing this news?
At that time, Schuster and Rummenigge were incompatible, and they didn't dare to attack with the temper of an old hooligan like Schuster, and the two sides still helped win the European Cup - look at 06, Kahn who was put on the bench wanted to swallow both Lehmann and Klinsmann into his stomach, but before the penalty shootout against Argentina, Kahn was still very manly and shook hands with Lehmann to encourage - for this scene, the German media's evaluation is that the significance of the handshake between the two is even more than the victory or defeat of this game!
This is the team spirit that Germans have always been proud of.
If Lao Ma and Ling Feng wanted to take advantage of the current contradictions of the German team to plan, then they would be completely wrong.
※※※※※
Finally, on the day of the game, the Parc des Princes stadium was crowded with excited fans early, especially to the dismay of the Germans, tens of thousands of Parisian fans wearing neat Saint-Germain jerseys came to the scene, and more than 10,000 Chinese fans shouted "Wind, wind!" ”
Seeing the huge No. 46 Saint-Germain jersey setting off layers of waves in the stands, Ling Feng's feelings can be described as incomprehensible.
In this game, the tactics formulated by Lao Ma are to defend and counterattack and carry out surprise attacks.
As strikers, Hao Haidong and Yang Chen both broke through the door of the Bayern team guarded by Kahn in the Bundesliga last season - and Ling Feng's encouragement before the game was that the current goalkeeper of the German team, Kopke, was not as strong as Kahn, so those two guys swore that they must score in this game!
According to the usual practice, when interviewed by reporters before the game, Maradona and Ling Feng, as well as Beckenbauer and Mateus, all spoke highly of each other, and unanimously said that this would be a fierce game - in Maradona's private words, the purpose of saying this is purely to leave a way back for himself, and to be low-key, even if he loses, he will not be ashamed......
Both reporters and fans are tired of talking like this, but what really excites them comes half an hour before the game, when the starting lists and lineups of both sides are announced!
The line-up of the German team is exactly the same as the last game against the United States, there is nothing surprising about it, what is surprising is the formation of the Chinese team.
In terms of lineup, except for Li Tie who replaced Zhao Jun and started, the other ten people have not changed, but the formation has changed greatly!
The Chinese team lined up in a 5-3-2 formation!
The other positions have not changed, the only change, and what amazes everyone, is that Ling Feng actually plays guard? And it's still a dragging central defender?!
Many people may not understand the concept of dragging back central defenders, but there is also a resounding name for this position - scavengers!
And with Ling Feng's ability, it is impossible to succumb to the backcourt and defend willingly, so when the scavenger participates in the attack, he becomes an offensive scavenger - also known as an offensive defender, and now his name is called a free man.
German fans have begun to hold their heads, this, is this Maradona's provocation?
Because, in the history of world football, there is only one great player in this position, who is known as Caesar, the emperor of German football - Beckenbauer!
