At the Kaliningrad Stadium, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly warm, and although the Chinese fans were one of the protagonists in the stands, they were not as overwhelming as the previous two games. The Germans also have a huge following, and as one of the top teams, they also have a huge following.

In the locker room of the Chinese team, everyone had expectation and nervousness on their faces, Liu Ruofan quietly approached Wen Zhihao and said: "I'm so nervous, when Old Man Pi told me that I was ready to start, it felt so unreal." ”

Wen Zhihao showed a smile and replied: "Everyone has a first time, do you think I was really so calm when I faced Neuer and Hummels in the Champions League final?" Try to enjoy the game on the pitch and you'll see that that's exactly what it is. ”

"Maybe Zhihao is right, but I'm afraid of what happens! Especially in my position, if something goes wrong, I'm the only one to blame. Yan Junling echoed beside him.

Wen Zhihao turned his head to encourage him: "Haven't you always been very confident?" When I was still training at the base, Director Xu commented on you. Don't think about the question of whether to take the blame or not, no one expects us to win this game, so let's not increase the pressure on ourselves, it's so boring. I've heard a saying before, kill the panda and you're a national treasure! In the same way, blocking the striker is the door god, think about it, I don't think you are a person who is willing to be a background board. ”

Yan Junling was stunned for a few seconds, and Wen Zhihao's words kept flashing in his mind.

Blocking a striker is a door god? Seems to be interesting!

……

The Kaliningrad Stadium has long been like boiling water, and the fans of both sides are doing their best to inject passion, and the players from both sides step into the stadium under the guidance of the referee team, and the Chinese fans in the stadium immediately shouted.

He Wei said with high emotions: "The Chinese team is entering!" Win or lose, this game will go down in the history of Chinese football. ”

Marcelleff stood in Germany's position: "I just hope that the suspense of this game can be maintained as much as possible, and it will not turn into a one-sided slaughter too soon...... After all, there is no doubt that the strength of the two teams is not on the same level. It's not the ability of individual players or coaches that can be changed. ”

The German team started today and was also the main team, including top stars such as Mesut Ozil, Toni Kroos, Thomas Müller, Gotze and Hummels, for most of the local Chinese players, these people are their idols and role models, usually they can only be seen playing on TV, and now they have to be opponents with their idols, and they are a little excited, even ...... Excited.

Only Wen Zhihao is a special case, he can face these stars in today's football with a calm mind, there are many stars in the opponent team, Kroos, Neuer and Hummels, he has played against each other, and he has confidence in his heart.

In the pre-game handshake session, the German team players were careless and routine when shaking hands with the rest of the Chinese team, and they didn't look at these local Chinese players at all, only when they shook hands with Wen Zhihao, they generally added two points, Kroos, Neuer and Hummels all had the flame of revenge in their eyes, in their opinion, this is a good opportunity, Wen Zhihao has no strong teammates around him, and his performance will definitely be discounted, it's time to teach Wen Zhihao a good lesson.

The two sides were ready, at 10 o'clock in the evening Beijing time, the official kick-off time of the game, New Zealand referee Conger pointed to the direction of the Chinese team's goal, a long whistle kicked off the game, and the German team took the lead in the first half of the game.

From the first moment of the game, the Chinese team quickly recovered into the 40-meter area of their own half when the opponent got the ball, and Wen Zhihao was frequently active in his own half. Zheng Zhi's injury is not serious, after a few days of rest has been relieved to a certain extent, Lippi weighed it again, although he is still put in the starting lineup, but his physical condition is not as completely unaffected as the first two games, Wen Zhihao must help share some of the pressure on the defensive end. Lippi also communicated with Wen Zhihao separately before the game, and he had to make certain sacrifices in the face of opponents whose strength was obviously several notches higher.

The Chinese team's 5-3-2 anti-counter formation is clearly layered, with five defenders and three midfielders, building a two-tier defensive system of eight people, covering the entire Chinese team's backfield. As for the counterattack, it was completely handed over to Liu Ruofan and Yu Dabao, because Wen Zhihao had retreated to his own half, and the support he could provide on the offensive end was limited, so the offensive side could almost only rely on the speed of the two.

However, the two were immediately targeted by Hummels and Boateng, and it is unlikely that they will be able to pose a threat in front of the two top centre-backs. After all, there is only one Wen Zhihao in the Chinese team.

The game is still going on according to the main theme set by everyone, the German team is besieging, the Chinese team is stubbornly defending, and everyone is most interested in when the German team can score the first goal. In other words, how long can the Chinese team hold out.

The German team's formation is very high, Loew's 4-3-3 formation, in addition to the two central defenders in the own half, the three midfielders Gundogan, Kroos and Gotze all pressed to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area, although the Chinese team has invested a lot in defense, but now the number of both sides is basically equal, the gap in the ability of the Chinese team players is exposed, and the German team's tactics today are simple and rude, the offensive focus is on the middle, and they want to score quickly by attacking the middle.

Liang Xin and Wen Zhihao are both players who rely on ball quotient and consciousness to eat, but in the face of the German team defensively, it is not enough to rely on the card position, and the confrontation ability will suffer after all, even if Liang Xin stuck the ball in advance and Gundogan collided, Liang Xin lost effective control of the ball. And Zheng Zhi was affected by his physical state, and his movement speed obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

In short, the Chinese team has been under siege since the opening stage, the midfield is getting closer and closer to the defenders, the signs of disconnection between the front and back are serious, and the German team is almost all pressed around the Chinese team's penalty area and bombarded in turn.

One of the few bright spots on the court for the Chinese team was on the defensive end, with Feng Xiaoting showing excellent positioning and defensive skills. On many occasions, he rushed to head out or stretched out a kick in front of the goal to defuse the dangerous attacks of the German team.

And another surprising discovery is Yan Junling, who guards the goal. This kind of besieged situation is not entirely a bad thing for goalkeepers, and excellent goalkeepers are known for saving danger again and again at such moments.

In the eleventh minute, Yan Junling made the first wonderful remedy of his World Cup career, Ozil rushed to the top from close range, Yan Junling quickly fell to the ground and pounced sideways, and actually pressed the ball firmly under him.

Not only the German fans and commentators, but even the German coach Loew had his mouth slightly open, he was ready to celebrate the goal, and the result was ......

Loew picked up the Chinese roster and took another look, convinced that Yan Junling was just a little-known player playing in China's domestic league, and he attributed the save to a coincidence.
