On the football field, any kind of tactic is relative, there is no absolute tactic.

In other words, any adjustment is a double-edged sword, which can hurt both the enemy and the self, and the key lies in the manager's balance and grasp.

Yang Cheng noticed a very interesting thing throughout the first half, that is, in Spain's midfield configuration, whether it is Iniesta, Xavi, or Xavi? Alonso, the position is more backward.

The reason for this situation is actually simple, Bosque's purpose is to ensure his own possession and initiative, he wants to take the initiative and play to his strengths, but he does not want the midfield to be too high, because without a thick player like de la Red, Spain's midfield is slightly weak and needs to be grouped together to be effective.

The German team has assembled heavy troops in the middle, and Spain can't go through the middle, and more on the side, which makes Spain's two wingers Mata and David? Silva's position is close to the touchline, and the two players in midfield, except for Iniesta's occasional step forward to participate in the attack, Xavi almost always follows Xavi? Alonso's.

Then, the problem arises, once someone suppresses Spain's two midfielders, Iniesta and Xavi, so that these two players can not be inserted at any time to echo the front-court attack, it can completely make the three players in the front field ineffective, and the striker Villa is directly exposed to the strangulation of the two central defenders of the German team.

At the same time, suppressing Iniesta and Xavi, as long as one more person is separated, Xavi can be strangled? Alonso!

For Harvey? Alonso, Yang Cheng knows very well that the biggest flaw of this player is his ability to get rid of it, he always struggles to play his usual characteristics when he encounters the opponent's entanglement and marking, if you make a fuss about this, then things will be much easier.

As soon as the second half began, the German team began to make their own half-time adjustments and start a long-planned battle for the ball. And the key area of this scramble. Right in the middle of the field!

…………

…………

Ozil has always given people the impression that he is stronger in attack than in defense, and even many fans will wonder, does this guy have defense?

Lack of physical ability and poor physical fitness are the general impressions of Ozil among fans, and even after a long period of hard training, the physical confrontation has improved and the physical fitness has improved. Ozil still hasn't been able to change the impression that others have of him, which is almost stereotyped.

If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that compared with the European Championship, Ozil's average distance per game has increased a lot, but the data is generally not watched by fans, they pay more attention to the performance of players on the pitch.

But in the second half of this game, he startled everyone at the beginning of the game.

Just see the German team kick off. It didn't take long for a mistake in a pass and catch. Spain snatched possession, but nearby Ozil immediately forced Xavi, who had the ball, to force Xavi to move as soon as possible and hand it over to Xavi? Alonso, but the unwilling Ozil turned around and immediately pressed Xavi again? Alonso.

Seemingly obsessed with grabbing the ball, Ozil entangled Xavi? Alonso, the two almost scuffled together. The referee blew the whistle for a foul and awarded a foul on Mesut Ozil, and Spain were given a free-kick opportunity.

See, Harvey? Alonso quickly whipped in a free-kick and handed it to Xavi again, but Mesut Ozil and Schweinsteiger both pressed on the first hand, and the two flanked Xavi one after the other. The Barcelona midfielder wanted to pass back this time, but Ozil, who had been premeditated, suddenly jumped out and intercepted the ball.

"Beautiful! Mesut Ozil broke the ball!! The on-site narrator shouted in surprise.

It wasn't just him who was surprised, but the fans in the stands who were familiar with the German national team and Bayern Munich were surprised, because they rarely saw Mesut Ozil so desperately engaged in pressing and defending, and he had played 45 minutes in the first half, is he still fit enough?

After the break, Ozil quickly distributed the ball to the left and handed it to Thomas? Muller, who faced Arbeloa's defence on the left, formed a link with Lahm who cut in from behind, straight behind him, and Lahm won the ball in front of the line and crossed, while Klose in the middle cut in to complete a header, but it was slightly higher.

"The German team counter-attacked after a break and created a big threat and almost caused a goal!"

"It was the first shot on goal in the second half and the Germans finally decided to press out after the second half!"

The on-site commentator is obviously happy with Yang Cheng's decision, at least he thinks that the German team should play more openly after being pressed, and Spain will not be conservative, and the two sides may fight in pairs.

But they obviously ignore one thing, that is, the German team pressed out to play, which does not necessarily mean that the game will necessarily become an offensive battle, or it can be that the German team will press Spain to play.

Isn't that weird?

Not at all!

Carefully watch the tactics of the German team in the second half, actively press, by suppressing Iniesta and Xavi, isolating the trident in the front, because Spain is playing 433 and does not have a forward midfielder, so behind the striker it needs to be inserted in the midfield to fill it, or the striker retreats to complete, but when Iniesta and Xavi were suppressed, Villa fell into the strangulation of the German team's central defenders, this area was completely controlled by the German team.

To suppress Spain's attack through this and then to entangle Xavi through Mesut Ozil? Alonso, disrupting Spain's ball control system, and then pressing forward through the defensive line, continuously exerting pressure on the Spanish defense, using the Spanish half as the main battlefield, forcing Spain to hand over the ball.

Spain has always been best at arranging the main battlefield in someone else's half, pushing their own possession area to the opponent's 32-meter area, and then forming a threat, once their own ball control system is disrupted and cannot successfully complete the advancement, then they seem overwhelmed and do not know how to play.

On the contrary, the German team, through this kind of pressing and pressing in the Spanish half, successfully got more balls, and began to attack the Spanish defense again and again, creating a threat, forcing Spain to retract and successfully control the situation of the game.

This turned into tens of thousands of fans in attendance, as well as countless fans watching the game in front of the televisions. Or an incredible scene. That is, the German team pressed Spain to play, especially after entering the 60th minute of the second half, the German team almost completely controlled the game, and the situation on the field was almost one-sided!

"Ram, Thomas? Muller and Mesut Ozil pose a huge threat on the left, and the trio have combined to maintain strong attacking pressure on Spain's right flank, with Germany's attack almost always on the left, and the right side more of a diversion role. ”

"Compared to the German team's attacking momentum, Spain seems to be a little overwhelmed, and as the game progresses, it gradually progresses. Their fitness problems have gradually been revealed, and now even the most basic pressure on the German backline has gradually eased. ”

"Villa and three other attacking players failed to maintain pressure on the German defence, and the German team began to create a threat through overhead passes from the back, while the Spanish defense looked uncomfortable and made frequent mistakes once they were pressed in the penalty area by the opponent!"

As the on-site commentator spoke, Germany once again tore through Spain's defence from the left, with Mesut Ozil pulling to the left to meet Lahm, who had cut in from behind. A sharp through ball after winning the ball. Penetrated the Spanish defence, passed between Arbeloa and De La Red, and headed straight for the penalty area.

Thomas? Muller was prepared to get past Arbeloa after Mesut Ozil's through ball and after winning the ball in the box, he made a sharp stop to the end of De La Reid. After deceiving the vacant seat, he directly pulled out his foot and shot angrily.

Casillas has always maintained a high level of concentration, he is also one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and he was also stimulated after seeing Neuer play at such a high level. Muller entered the box and he was ready for it. When the latter got up, he reacted and steadily put Thomas ? Muller's shot into the far corner was saved.

"Nice save !!" The on-site commentator also felt that Casillas's save was also beautiful, his body was stretched, and the difficulty of the save was not low, although it was not as good as Neuer's single knife that Iniesta had just saved, but it was also a difficult save, which won the cheers and cheers of the Spanish fans in the stands.

"The German team's attack is getting more and more lively, and now it is almost pressing Spain to attack, this scene is unbelievable!" The on-site commentator said when the German team was preparing for a corner kick, "You know, in the past few years, countless fans have been looking forward to a team that can completely beat Spain, but they have never seen any team that can press Spain and occupy such a big advantage, but in this game the German team did it!" ”

"With this alone, I believe that fans all over the world who are waiting for this game will not be disappointed!"

Germany's corner was delivered, but Mesut Ozil's corner was high and Hummels couldn't get on top of De La Red's interference, and the ball went too high for Spain.

But it is obvious that the German team's attack has gradually gained momentum!

"Their physical energy is almost exhausted, just a little!" Tim? Hank walked out of the coach's seat and came to Yang Cheng and said.

In Yang Cheng's coaching staff, Tim? Hank is responsible for physical training, and is also responsible for observing the data in the game, so that Yang Cheng can grasp the latest data and intelligence at the first time, so whenever he has any new news and gains, he always conveys it to Yang Cheng as soon as possible, and what he pays close attention to in this game is the physical fitness of Spain.

Through a series of data such as the player's running distance, the physical condition before the game, and the physical expenditure on weekdays, the system can roughly estimate the physical consumption of a player.

"Then add another handful of firewood and send them on their way!" Yang Cheng turned his head and swept around the bench behind him, and finally set his eyes on Tony? Cross's body, shouted to that side, "Tony! ”

Tony? Cross had been looking forward to being able to play in such a game, he had already made all the preparations, and as soon as he heard Yang Cheng's shout, he immediately ran out of the bench and ran in front of Yang Cheng.

"Warm up right away, go!" Yang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and told him to hurry up.

The kid estimated that he had already prepared, went to the sidelines for a walk, and immediately ran back again.

"Wow, you're fast enough!" Yang Cheng was a little surprised, looking at this stinky boy who was grinning, he couldn't help laughing. "That's fine. You go up and take Jérôme? Boateng replaced me, let Podolski look at Alba, you go play the front midfield, entangle Xavi? Alonso, let Ozil go up! ”

The current situation is that Spain is retreating on all fronts, and if you really want to fight back, it will be difficult to pass Sven of the German team? Bender and Schweinsteiger are in the same line, so the four players at the back are a bit too much. Rather than that, it's better to simply replace people.

And, Jérôme? Boateng lacks the ability to assist, the player has played all of Germany's Confederations Cup games, and now in the game, his fitness is starting to fall a little low, rather than staying on the pitch, it is better to switch to strengthen the attack. Anyway, the main theme of the German team next is attack. And not defensively.

"The German team made a substitution, Yang Cheng made a substitution in the 72nd minute, using midfielder Toney? Klos replaces defender Jérôme? Boateng, this is a positive signal, Yang Cheng is obviously going to continue to further strengthen the team's attack, this is also the first substitution adjustment between the two sides in the whole game, the score is still 0:0! ”

After seeing the substitution of the German team, the on-site commentator was analyzing Yang Cheng's substitution intention.

Actually, he didn't need to say much. After everyone saw the substitution, they were able to understand the intentions of the German team for the first time, including the players on the field of the German team, and naturally the head coach of Spain, Bosque.

For Bosque, he was dragged into the quagmire of physical fitness by Yang Cheng's team in this game, because the game has been going on for 72 minutes now, and it is still 0:0. But his players are clearly starting to run out of fitness.

Now that the German team has made substitutions to strengthen the attack, Bosque has two options, one is to strengthen the defense, and the other is to make a substitution for the opposite position, replacing Villa, who is obviously not physically good, and then waiting for Yang Cheng to make a move.

If it's to strengthen the defense, Alba and Xavi go down and replace Albiol and Miguel? Fernando Torres will return de la Reed to the midfield he is familiar with and accustomed to, but in doing so, Spain will lose their wings completely, and at the same time, the attack will be further frustrated, and the situation will be worse than it is now.

If he chooses to replace the striker, Bosque will consider bringing Torres on, but in this case, will the defense be reliable?

These are undoubtedly risky choices, and the key depends on how Bosque chooses.

Just when everyone was waiting for Spain's change of tactics, Bosque finally made the decision to replace Villa with Torres, obviously to continue to maintain the threat of counter-attack, and even now, he still refuses to give up the belief in scoring.

"In the end, it is the head coach from Real Madrid, Bosque's substitution is full of courage and worthy of admiration!" The on-site commentator also said with embarrassment that compared with more and more utilitarian managers today, Bosque's substitution is indeed worthy of recognition, but this does not mean that his substitution will definitely get the effect he wants.

When the game reached the 78th minute, Spain finally got a chance to attack, Alba quickly advanced along the left side to the front, but Podolski did not relax at all, all the way along the left side of the rapid chase, all the way to the right side of the team's penalty area, thinking of himself as a full-back.

Polite? Bender also immediately retreated to the right side of the penalty area, and he and Podolski formed horns, forced Alba, locked him near the corner flagpole, and then Podolski stepped up.

Alba is small and agile, and he faced Podolski, first trying to block Podolski with his body and protect the ball, and then he wanted to use his foot skills to take the ball away from Podolski.

Podolski's defensive ability is good, as soon as he saw Alba with the ball, he used his body to suppress Alba, squeezed his body when the opponent was dribbling, and forced Alba to fall near the corner flagstick, but the referee did not blow the foul, Podolski immediately kicked the ball to Sven? Bender, rush forward on your own.

Polite? Bender played the ball to Hummels, who met the ball and played a long ball straight to the feet of Podolski near the halfway line, who faced Miguel? Torres' defence, with the ball choosing to cut diagonally inward, pass the ball to Toni in the middle? Cross.

Tony? Klos kept the ball and slashed it to the feet of Ozil, who quickly dribbled forward and quickly counter-attacked past the midfield.

At this time, in the Spanish half, Ozil took the ball and advanced quickly, and Thomas on the left side? Muller ran out of the gap, Klose in the middle and Podolski on the right were quickly plugged in, ready to receive anytime and anywhere, and in front of them, Spain only had two defenders, Arbeloa and Albiol, and Pique and others were in quick pursuit.

Ozil dribbled diagonally to the left, advanced quickly, and when advancing to the 32-meter area of Spain, Arbeloa found that there was no way to retreat, and had to call out to his teammates around him, and he gave up the retreat, choosing to grab up, forcing Ozil.

From the beginning of advancing with the ball, Ozil has been waiting for a defender to rush him, because once he grabs, it is equivalent to exposing the gap in defense, so as soon as Arbeloa grabbed, Ozil did not wait for him to get close, and a straight ball was given to the penalty area behind Arbeloa.

Thomas? Muller didn't slow down, waiting on the left side of the box, and as soon as he saw Ozil's pass coming, he quickly cut into the box, forcing Albiol to pounce on him immediately to prevent him from threatening the goal.

Unexpectedly, Thomas? Muller went down to the bottom line on the left side of the six-yard box and crossed the ball past Albiol and into the back of the net, where Klose, who was in charge of flanking and responding, was already in place!
