Chapter 644: Forcible Cooperation

Jamie Vardy slowed down after the ball was scooped off the touchline, slowly stopped, and turned his head to look at his team, feeling a little surprised.

He didn't expect the German team to defend themselves in this way, a player with a strong frontal interception ability to limit himself, and then a flexible defender waiting for the opportunity to destroy?

Loew has a lot of ideas!

It seems that Germany must have done a lot of homework on itself, otherwise this goal might have gone in.

Shaking his head and walking back, Vardy certainly wasn't discouraged by not scoring a goal, and was even motivated by it.

Before the game, he really didn't think that Germany could pose much of a threat to England, maybe Germany could bring a lot of trouble to England with its tenacious will, but the final winner should still be England, in terms of strength, England is obviously stronger.

Looking at the staffing of the two sides, neither Podolski nor Klose can compare with Vardy on the German front, and even Podolski and Klose are not as valuable as Rooney together, let alone Vardy.

In midfield, Ballack is naturally the world's top midfielder, but neither Gerrard nor Frank Lampard is inferior to Ballack on the England side.

Who else in Germany?

There are also pigs in the midfield who are still active on the flanks and only turn in circles, and two sapper-type and not particularly well-known midfielders Frings and Hitzersperger, who are not comparable to England at all.

At least Vardy thinks that Germany was able to reach the final of the European Championship in his previous life, more because of the favorable grouping and schedule, otherwise if Germany is placed in the second half, the final will definitely not be their business.

England fans regret that Jamie Vardy's raid failed to score, but it is not overly pessimistic, after all, Germany is also a strong team, and it is impossible for England to take what they want.

However, Vardy did not waste any time at this time, running outside the touchline and the ball thrown by the caddie was ready to be throw-in.

But because Vardy rushed so fast, the English players simply didn't keep up, and there were even very few German players nearby.

Vardy lifted the ball and reluctantly put it down, reaching out to his own half of the court to ask his teammates to hurry up.

I've been waiting so much!

After Rahm got up, he saw that Vardy was about to throw a throw-in, and subconsciously looked into his penalty area, the power of Vardy's grenade throw-in is obvious to all, and Germany does not dare to underestimate its power even if it is like a forest.

But what he didn't expect was that it was precisely because of his subconscious turn back this time that Vardy, the chicken thief, seized the opportunity.

The team is short, it's you!

Taking advantage of Lahm's turnaround, Vardy quickly lifted the ball over his head and smashed it towards Lahm.

If you don't have a teammate to cooperate with you, then force yourself to cooperate with your opponent.

Vardy used such a trick and now uses it with great skill and without delay.

Of course, Vardy didn't smash his hand into Lahm's lower abdomen, otherwise he could have been convicted of a deliberate foul.

In fact, there is another reason, everyone calls Lahm short, because it is the opposite of the captain, and Lahm is indeed short, but Vardy feels that there is a secret in this, maybe it is short somewhere else?

It's been a short time, so don't let it hurt again, right?

So, Vardy opted for Lahm's calf, and the grenade smashed straight through, and instantly bounced back to the touchline, and Vardy deftly stopped the ball.

Ram was turning around when he suddenly felt a blow to his calf and almost fell to his knees, feeling extremely confused.

Am I being sniped with a sniper rifle?

However, when he turned his head and saw that Vardy had stopped the ball and suddenly started to speed towards the German penalty area, the clever team had already understood what had just happened.

Damn, you actually use yourself as a wooden stake to cooperate?

With a scolding voice, Lahm quickly followed Vardy, ready to wait for the opportunity to grab the ball, and must not let Vardy be so arrogant in his own half.

However, this time Vardy can learn his lesson, and he may be cut off by Lahm without knowing it, but now that he has seen the German defensive model, how can Vardy still make the same mistake?

A sudden stop in the middle of a high-speed dribble pulled the ball back, a move that didn't seem to be very flashy but made Lahm's tackle useless, and Lahm slid past Vardy, only to watch back at him.

Pulling the ball back and flicking it from his heel to the left front of his body, he completely dodged Lahm before Vardy picked up the pace again and continued towards the German penalty area.

The tall-legged Mertesacker came up, a typical German centre-back with excellent frontal interceptions and excellent header defence, and it wasn't easy for Jamie Vardy to break through head-on.

Perhaps that's what Loew had in mind, and Mertesacker just needs to stretch out his long legs and not let Vardy break through easily.

However, how can Vardy be a stunned young man who will only break through, although he doesn't think Mertesacker will cause much trouble to himself, but after all, it will still affect the timing of the attack, so Vardy chose to share the ball.

Wayne Rooney and the aggressive Frank Lampard had already rushed up to finish the match and flank, Jamie Vardy nudged the ball down the middle, and Rooney suddenly leaked the ball in the middle of the entanglement with the German defender, and the ball was picked up by Lampard in the back.

Chelsea dealt with an unguarded bombardment of the ball towards the goal like a missile.

The fans in the stands were fully excited, yelling and cheering, and the shot made it impossible for them to hold back.

England's attacking opportunities are all made by Vardy in the rush, not to mention the kick-off raid just now, this time the throw-in and the opponent have already made the fans so excited that they can't do it, and Vardy has begun to bully people again.

And the following passing and coordination are also a reflection of England's strong individual ability, Rooney's leakage is just right, and Lampard's impact is also undoubtedly reflected, such an England, even if it is only the tip of the iceberg, has already made people feel terrible.

However, the only pity was that Frank Lampard's shot was slightly wide of the goal, and not only did the fans hold their heads in disbelief, but even Lampard stomped his feet in regret.

If England can take the lead from the start, then the rest of the game will be completely into the rhythm of England, playing as much as they want, and taking the initiative.

So Frank Lampard missed a shot and felt sorry for his team-mates, sorry for the team, sorry for the fans, and it made him very uncomfortable.

Finally getting his mind right, Lampard gave Vardy a thumbs up and said it was a beautiful pass that he had wasted the chance.

Vardy didn't care too much, he just wasted an opportunity, it was not a big deal at all, could he still shoot him for such a little sin?

Time has come and England could have a chance to open the scoring at any time.

This sudden climax made the fans very excited, even if they were neutral fans, they were excited because of the wonderful scene, this is the charm of football.

"I almost scored at the beginning, and the battle between England and Germany was really fierce enough!"

"Vardy smashed the ball on the team and forced the cooperation, this is simply bullying, if I were Lahm, I would never be able to bear it!"

"What if you can't bear it, Vardy is already benevolent and righteous without teasing Ram, what is it to force a cooperation?"

"Fortunately, it's not men who forcibly cooperate with women!"

......

Germany were also a little stunned by England's rapid raids, and even though they limited Vardy to a certain extent, England still posed a great threat to their goal, which they couldn't accept.

It seems that Vardy's breakthrough is blocked, but Vardy can still use the pass to create chances, and it seems that Vardy is not unable to break through, but is unwilling to entangle with them, which are definitely two different concepts.

Don't look at Loew's defensive tactics are very clear, he may not be able to defend Vardy, Loew actually has no bottom in his heart.

Fortunately, Loew did not press high post, just as Germany did against Spain in the final, otherwise Vardy could have knocked Germany down.

In the European Championship final in the previous life, in order to deal with Spain's pass-and-control style of play, Loew used high-position pressing tactics, and the midfielders and forwards did not go half-court at all, and directly launched tenacious pressing in the frontcourt, just to use this way to disrupt Spain's offensive rhythm and create more fast-break opportunities.

But high pressing is often a double-edged sword, which can stab the enemy or yourself.

Because of the high pressing, the back line must also be advanced, and it is impossible to open too much space with the midfield, so the distance between the back line and the goalkeeper will inevitably widen.

And in this way, as long as the opponent frequently hits behind him, he can beat them to death.

Spain understood very well where Germany's weakness was, and when it recognized a point, it let go and hit Germany behind it.

Germany's two centre-backs, Mertesacker and Metzelde, are both high defenders who are slow to turn and have no way to limit the opposition's forwards once they are beaten, and even if Lahm can use his flexibility to fill in the position, there is no guarantee that he will succeed every time.

That's how Fernando Torres' final goal went in, Spain slammed a straight shot behind him, Lahm wanted to get in position, but was overtaken by Torres' super explosiveness, and then Spain scored.

Of course, things sometimes can't be analyzed so simply.

On the one hand, Torres was at the peak of his career at the time, and his explosiveness was extremely good, while although Lahm was a top full-back, he was the kind who played with his brain, even if he was flexible, but he was explosive in an instant, and he was really not Torres' opponent.

On the other hand, Lahm himself also made some mistakes, and if he cleared the siege at the first time, I am afraid that Torres would not have a chance to complete the explosion and surpass.

But whatever the reason, the result is the result, and Spain took advantage of Germany's weakness in pressing high to win the European Championship.
