"Audience friends, audience friends, welcome to the metallurgical football stadium in Kharkiv, Ukraine!"

When the TV screen switched to the crowded metallurgical stadium in Kharkiv, the high-pitched voice of the on-site commentator suddenly sounded, and everyone could feel the atmosphere of the game through the sound of the fans on the scene through the microphone.

"It's 21:30 p.m. on June 13, Ukrainian time, and there are 15 minutes left before the game starts, this game is Portugal, which is currently ranked second and fourth in Group B, against Germany, and it is also hailed by everyone as a key battle for the right to qualify from Group B."

"At the moment, the managers and players of both sides are nervously preparing for this game in the dressing room, but we have already got the list of players against both sides in advance, and the German team, which everyone is most concerned about before the game, our Caesar has indeed brought us a lot of surprises."

As he was talking, the Portuguese lineup was played on the TV screen, and it was 433.

The goalkeeper is Patricio, the backline is Coentrão, Alves, Pepe and Pereira, the midfield is Moutinho, Meireles and Veloso, and the front trident is Cristiano? Ronaldo, Postiga and Nani.

"Portugal played France in their first game, Cristiano? Ronaldo saved the team alone, but Portugal's forward problems have always plagued this team, and Ronaldo has never been a striker who can be at the front, he prefers to cruise behind the striker, and now it's up to Paul? How Bento solves this problem. ”

"The German squad was also surprising, with a poor opening game and a very controversial Gomez after the game, which continued to get this game, while right-back Jérôme? Boateng was also not absent from the team, but in two positions, Yang Cheng's choice was surprising. ”

The lineup of the German team appeared on the TV screen, and it was also 433.

The goalkeeper is Manuel Neuer. The backline is Lahm, Kyle, Hummels and Jérôme? Boateng, the three midfielders are Schweinsteiger, Sven? Bender and Khedira, and the front trident is Thomas? Muller, Gomez and Mesut Ozil.

This is a puzzling change, as Yang Cheng has given up on Mertesacker and Podolsky. chose Hummels and Khedira, and the formation and tactics have changed from the original 4231 to the current 433, which is indeed a big surprise to everyone, and changing the position has always been a taboo for the head coach, but Yang Cheng said this, does he have the idea of giving it a go? Or is this a change he has been planning for a long time? ”

When I said this, the TV camera also looked down on the stadium from its original position. Instead, I went to browse the movement of the fans in the stands.

"In the first game of the group stage, the German team regrettably lost to Spain, but that game was hailed as the most exciting game in the European Cup so far, the German team can be said to be defeated, but now Yang Cheng has changed his previous style of play and chose 433 instead, does this mean that he wants to give up the tactical style of the first game?"

"Gomez didn't score in the first game of the group stage, Jérôme? Boateng was the team's number one culprit for conceding goals. But Yang Cheng still seems to have a lot of trust in these two players, but Mertesacker and Podolski are not, what kind of signal does this send? ”

The on-site narrator was talking. The camera swept from the stands to the podium, where German Chancellor Angela Merkel reappeared, and she has now become the most loyal fan of the German team, cheering on every game.

Merkel said in an interview with reporters before the game that she is still full of confidence in the team, and the German Chancellor has always been hailed as the lucky star of the German team, it depends on whether she can bring good luck to the German team again this time. …,

"Oscar-winning actress Charlize? Theron, and her and Yang Cheng's son, Charles, is a handsome guy. They are obviously all here to cheer Yang Cheng on, the pot-bellied Charlleze? Theron is said to be giving birth to a daughter after the European Championships, which is also good news for Yang Cheng, who heard that his greatest wish is to dedicate a European Championship championship to his daughter who will be born. ”

"But at the moment it seems to be a very difficult challenge for Germany because Spain are in surprisingly good form. At present, the group has won two consecutive games and has qualified early, and other places like Italy and England have also performed well, but now the German team is still struggling for a place in a group. ”

"This is a famous French talent, Melissa? Trio, she also brought her son to cheer for Yang Cheng, but she just didn't know if their arrival would bring good luck to Yang Cheng, who had been unlucky recently. ”

As the on-site commentator spoke, he saw the players of the two teams walking into the metallurgical stadium one after another under the leadership of the referee, and heard the 38,000 fans on the scene immediately burst into an overwhelming cheer to welcome the arrival of the team.

"Okay, the players of both teams are coming in one after another, and the game is about to start!"

How to play Portugal?

Yang Cheng has his own set of ideas, which are different from others, that is, he will not formulate the team's tactics around how to limit Xiao Xiaoluo, which is completely different from everyone's predictions before the game.

It can even be said that Yang Cheng was not prepared to arrange tactics around defending Xiao Xiaoluo from the beginning!

At the pre-match preparation meeting, he had already set the tone for this game very clearly, Portugal is a team that belongs to the Latin American style, and the team must maintain a rigorous tactical system, maintain a strong pressing ability, and limit the play and performance of the Portuguese.

As for Xiao Xiao Luo, he has a very high opinion of his most proud disciple, but he also mentioned an important place, that is, Xiao Xiao Luo's position in this national team is the finisher.

The so-called finisher is actually the scorer, which means that Ronaldo is responsible for scoring goals for the team, and the team must give him as much support as possible to give him the opportunity to play to his strengths, and if the team can't provide him with a lot of opportunities, then his performance will lose his threat.

So, from the beginning. Yang Cheng's positioning for this game is not to limit Xiao Xiao Luo at all, but to limit Portugal's midfield, firmly suppress the opponent, and then make Xiao Xiao Luo useless in front.

One of the interesting things about it is. Paul? Bento also seems to be afraid of the German team's tactics, and he seems to be aware of his team's problems, so the opening tactics dragged the defense line back, put on a posture to lure the German team to attack, and then tried to play the German team's counterattack.

"Typical waiting for you to make mistakes!" Paul? Byer shook his head and smiled, he thought, Paul? Bento's tactics were all about stability from the start. Don't even dare to take the slightest risk.

"Wait for me to make a mistake?" Yang Cheng also laughed, "I just don't know if he can catch it!" ”

After speaking, I saw Yang Cheng give instructions to the players on the field, signaling them to attack directly after the opening.

Taking the opportunity of kick-off, the German team launched a round of attack on Portugal at the first time, and their attack did not appear conservative at all, but very proactive and aggressive, taking the initiative to make a fuss on the two side roads. There is no intention of leaving a back hand at all.

As soon as the ball was released, the German team immediately started to push forward and soon passed the ball to the feet of Ozil on the right. The latter faced Pereira's defense, protected the ball, and wanted to lead to the middle, but fell into the bag between Moutinho and Pereira, and had no choice but to knock the ball back to Jérôme, who was cutting forward? Boateng. …,

The latter won the ball near the midfield and, as soon as he looked up, saw Gomez raising his hand in the middle and immediately kicked the ball out.

The ball crossed a high trajectory and landed in the middle of the goal, where Gomez cut in quickly from behind. Firmly blocked Pepe behind with his body, jumped high, and shook his head at the incoming ball.

The ball was hit by him, and he sent out a force, but it hit it right!

Portugal's goalkeeper Patricio took the position for the first time and directly hugged the ball. The whole person fell to the ground.

"It was the first shot of the game, and Gomez, a striker from the German team, had a very powerful header on goal, but unfortunately the angle was too correct and he couldn't score!" The on-site commentator was also talking about the game.

Patricio got up from the ground, grabbed the ball in his hands, looked ahead, and saw his teammates scattering like a tide, but he didn't choose to kick the ball away, but kicked it quickly to Coentrão.

Because in front, Portugal has almost no high points to fight for except for Xiao Xiaoluo, because their striker Postiga is not the kind of tough striker, let alone in front of the tall Hummels, even in front of Kyle, his height of 1.79 meters does not have the slightest advantage.

In this case, rashly sending the ball to the front is definitely giving the German team the right to give the ball!

But after the ball was given to Coentrão, the latter was immediately hit by Thomas? Muller's pressing had to pass the ball to Pepe, who immediately kicked the ball forward and gave it to the feet of Meireles.

As the team's central midfielder, Meireles was positioned relatively deep, but it was strange that Schweinsteiger appeared in this position and pressed him, forcing Meireles to pass the ball to Veloso as soon as possible.

Piggy didn't stop the ball in the slightest, and as soon as he saw Merreles' pass, he immediately changed direction and pressed towards Veroso, who immediately passed the ball back to Merreles, and at this time Khedira had already forced to the front, Sven? Bender, on the other hand, kept a certain distance from the two teammates in front of him to create defensive depth.

Seeing that there was no chance, Mereles had to pass the ball back and back to the back.

"The German team's pressing after the opening was fierce, especially in the pressing of the Portuguese midfield, and the back line also took the initiative to press forward, but it was obvious that Yang Cheng was also guarding against Xiao Xiaoluo and Nani's counterattack, so his defensive line was not willing to take risks, and always maintained a certain appropriate distance."

As he spoke, he saw that after seeing the ball back in the backfield, Pepe saw that the midfielder couldn't pass the ball out, and passed directly to the front with a big foot, trying to find Postiga's point, but Hummels was firmly stuck in position, and when he was competing with Postiga, he steadily pushed the ball back to Portugal's half.

Schweinsteiger quickly passed to the left side after winning the ball, and Rahm quickly dribbled along the left side after winning the ball, very fast, Thomas? Muller, on the other hand, chose to run to the bottom line and pulled a gap for Ram.

Sure enough, Thomas? As soon as Muller ran forward, Lahm opted to cut inside with the ball down the middle, attracting the attention of the chasing Veloso before crossing to the edge of the box. Khedira, who was cut in from behind, met the ball and fired a powerful volley.

This shot was full of power, like a thunderbolt, and everyone on the scene could clearly hear the bang, and then it seemed to be in the blink of an eye. There was another bang, and I saw the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back, and Gomez cut in to meet the incoming ball and volleyed, but it hit Alves' foot and went out of the line.

'Oh my God, Germany's long-range shot almost went through the Portugal goal and the crossbar saved Paul? Bento's team. Gomes' volley then almost threatened, and the Portuguese penalty area was in turmoil. ”…,

The live TV camera switched to a slow-motion replay of the two consecutive shots just now, and you can see that the German team's long-range and supplementary shots are very resolute, without the slightest drag, and both players are also decisive and powerful.

"In the three minutes since the opening, the German team has made 3 shots on goal, all of which have created a lot of threats, and it seems that Yang Cheng's opening tactics are very proactive. Want to break Portugal's defense from the start and take the initiative in the game.

After the corner, there was chaos in the Portuguese penalty area. Hummels got the ball in front of everyone, but alas, it was a little too high and didn't threaten, goal kick!

After the opening, the German team attacked fiercely, and the German fans in the stands also spared no effort to support and encourage the team, constantly cheering for the team, hoping that the team can make persistent efforts to break through the Portuguese goal as soon as possible, and give the fans a reassurance. Save them from being so frightened all the time, and they can't stop worrying.

"From the beginning of the game to the present, although the Portuguese backline led by Pepe seems to have many holes and created a lot of dangers, the performance is quite solid, at least it did not give the German team an absolute chance!"

The comments of the on-site commentators are fairly fair. At least from the point of view of the game process, Portugal's strength is indeed inferior to Germany, but it is definitely not to the point where there is no ability to resist, and the important factor that caused the one-sided situation after the opening to the present is that Yang Cheng's opening tactics are positive, Paul? Bento is a bit too steady.

If you retreat at the back, the midfield will naturally retreat, and the forward line cannot be alone at the front, which causes Portugal's third line to retreat, but the problem is that you can't retreat, but you have to have the opportunity to counterattack and create a threat, otherwise, if you let the German team continue to attack like this, you will have problems sooner or later.

Paul? Bento also thought, but the three midfielders of the German team pressed the Portuguese midfielder to death and did not give them a chance.

No, as soon as Portugal wanted to make a move, the German team created a dangerous situation.

This time it's Thomas from the left? Muller, the youngster who has become famous at the World Cup in South Africa, has been more and more solid and better, this time after winning the ball on the left side, facing Pereira, he chose to dribble directly through Pereira and pass diagonally behind the Portuguese defence, to the right side outside the penalty area.

After Ozil got the ball, he shook off Coentrão and took the ball along the middle, and decisively chose to get up, but the shot was not strong and was directly confiscated by Patricio.

This is also one of Ozil's major flaws, that is, the lack of scoring ability, which can even be said to be bad, but the advantage of this striker is also very good, that is, finding space and making the last pass, which are Ozil's strengths.

The continuous attack made the German team morale low, but Portugal was so pressed and beaten by the German team, saying that it was as aggrieved as it was, especially the blow to the morale of the players.

As a former professional athlete, Paul? Bento is not unaware of the problem, he also knows that in this kind of critical game, once the opportunity is lost, once the morale is lost, then this game will not be played again, and he will go home and eat himself.

So after seeing the German team attack so fiercely, Paul? Bento himself also has a headache, he also walked to the sidelines, and frequently issued instructions to the players, asking them to move as soon as possible once the ball is broken, don't stick to their feet, the German team's pressing is so fierce, as soon as the ball sticks, it is easy to fall into the encirclement, and then be broken.

As for the direction of the ball as soon as possible, Paul? Bento gave two wings, especially Ronaldo's side, and the Portuguese superstar's speed was definitely a counter-attacking weapon, and if he was given the opportunity, he could single-handedly tear apart the entire German defence.

As the minutes passed, the German team's offensive was not weakened, but there were faint signs of strengthening, especially the threat from the two wings, Yang Cheng gave full play to the tactics of attacking on the wings and grabbing points in the middle, allowing Gomes to create articles in the penalty area and capture fighters, which made the Portuguese defense tired to cope.

When the game reached the 23rd minute, the German team, which had been unable to attack for a long time, made a passing mistake in the front court, and Khedira's pass to Gomez was intercepted by Pepe in advance, and the latter got the ball and drove the ball to the left side of the front field with a big kick.

At this time, the German team pressed too much on the attack, causing the entire back line to almost enter the Portuguese half, and the air behind it was completely exposed to Portuguese fire.

And so far in this game, there is not even a little bit of outstanding performance of Xiao Xiaoluo this time finally seized the opportunity, he was not offside, but he played his excellent speed, rushed forward, like a lightning sprint on the left side, in front of him, the German team players are left with one Neuer!
