Chapter 247: Sudden change in painting style
It is actually very unexpected to be able to break through the Danish goal so quickly, the strength of the Danes is actually very strong, but being able to break through the Danish goal so quickly still shows something. It shows www.biquge.info success of Coach Susic's tactics and that we are actually stronger than we imagined. So there is no need for us to be so presumptuous, in fact, we can still fight Denmark!
Once we scored the first goal, our strategy was clear – to continue to play counter-attacking and to counter-attack quickly whenever we had the chance. In the case of a solid counter-attack, as long as the Danes can't break through our goal quickly, their mentality will become more and more anxious. As long as the mentality is agitated, they will be easily confused, so the success rate of our counterattack will be greatly improved.
From the point of view of Susic's coach, this battle is also a battle for his name. Coach Susic has always been working hard for Bosnian football, but he has not received as much as he has paid. Prior to his tenure as head coach of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Coach Susic coached youth football teams at all levels in Bosnia and Herzegovina for a long time, and although he achieved remarkable results, he did not receive corresponding remuneration. Coach Susic has been working hard for Bosnian football as a pathfinder for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and when he was the coach of the youth team, he cultivated some outstanding talents, and these talents will be the framework of the future Bosnia and Herzegovina national team. For example, Halilhovic, Salihamidzic, Barbarets, etc., these are the brains of coach Susic. However, the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team formed by this generation has not been able to prove itself in the World Series, so there are different controversies about the level of coach Susic in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In order to quell these controversies, Coach Susic has cultivated another group of demons, that is, our five little strongmen - Milojbisovic, Misimovic, Pjanic, Dzeko, and Ibisevic. Judging from the performance over this period of time, Coach Susic's dedication has paid off. We've been outstanding, we've won three times in a row in European Championship qualifying, and we have hopes of winning against Denmark!
Therefore, Coach Susic is confident that Bosnia and Herzegovina will be able to beat Denmark and win four consecutive games to secure top of the group. However, what I didn't expect was that the Danes' counterattack this time seemed to be different from usual, they were no longer holding high, but uncharacteristically playing short pass penetration!
As the Danes of the Vikings, their height is very tall, and their skills should be relatively poor at their height, but how can they actually play short passes to infiltrate? This makes us feel quite incredible! But the Danes just played a subtle small-scale coordination, they played seven or eight consecutive short passes in front of us, in front of our big penalty area, and such short pass penetration smashed our established tactics!
It turns out that the Danish team can also play football like embroidery needles! They don't just have one Larson with better skills!
At this time, our back four plus Dzeko's defensive camp were swept away by the Dane's short passes. The Danes obviously also know that our backline is a makeshift patchwork, with Dzeko returning to the back, not just to defend, but to counter-attack. After they thoroughly studied our tactics, they soon started a new round of impact, and this time they did not play the kind of long pass rushing with a relatively low success rate, but used the form of short pass penetration to improve the success rate. Then, they succeeded. Our backline has now faced four of their midfielders in a row, as well as shadow strikers. As a central striker, Tomasson's main responsibility changed from scoring goals to pulling up front, and a lot of the offense was eventually handed over to the shadow forwards. Tomasson himself waited in front of the goal and snatched the ball to the shadow striker. The shadow strikers were very active, while Tomasson was very strong, controlling the ball high and also controlling the ground. Neither of these can match them, and this is the most important reason why we have been so passive lately. After the Danes changed tactics, their short passes penetrated and left our backline strained, and Dzeko became useless at the back.
So coach Susic waved the flag and put Dzeko back on the forward line. As soon as the Danes saw Dzeko back up front, their attack became even more frantic - they knew that Dzeko was the only thing we could rely on to defend the high ball, and once Dzeko was back in the forward line, then we would no longer have a reliable high point at the back to snatch the ball from the Danes!
So the Danes immediately changed their tactics again and reverted back to the tactics of holding high and fighting high! It was with this change of tactics that the Dane's cross from the wing worked! Tomasson leaped high and without Dzeko, he easily headed the ball into the corner of the net!
1:1, the Danes quickly tied the score, and we were stunned by this one goal!
What to do? The Danes equalised and if we want to win, we have to go ahead again. But if we want to go beyond it again, what tactics should we use? Will they continue to defend and counterattack, or will they play high and use their attacks to suppress the Danes' defence?
Coach Susic's mind is already starting to mess up. Although it was only the first half of the game, the morale of the Danes was already up. The mentality of scoring first and then equalising in a football game is not the same as conceding a goal first and then equalising the opponent. Generally speaking, if you score first and then equalize, the whole team will be in high spirits and the probability of winning in the end is high. However, if you score first and then get equalized by the opponent, then the odds of losing in the end are quite high. Now we are in a situation where we have the first goal and then we are tied by the Danes, so the morale of the Danes is very high and we are demoralized, so how do we play the next games?
Faced with such doubts, I raised my head and looked at Coach Susic in the coach's bench next to me. I wanted to find an answer, but Coach Susic's confused eyes didn't really give me the answer I wanted. (To be continued.) )
