1030 Milo, we're waiting for you to come back!
As one of the most famous stars in the Bundesliga, Reuss is most admired for his scoring ability, and many people feel that he belongs to the kind of team that belongs to Thomas? Muller is a similar player, more of a scorer, and as for crosses......
Thomas? Muller also knew that Reus's cross was a bit unreliable, so after he got rid of Sildenfeld, he didn't blindly rush to the end, but on the one hand, he used his body to jam the position to avoid Hildenfeld from interfering with him, and on the other hand, he looked at the ball, deliberately slowed down in the middle, and adjusted his pace.
If he blindly speeds up and rushes to the end, the ball will be gone, but his slowness has made the ball just right to his head, and I saw that he almost didn't even have to jump, facing the incoming ball, and his forehead went forward.
From his forehead, he could feel the contact with the ball, and that feeling made him very sure, because it was easier to grasp the angle of the header with his forehead, so this time he deliberately pushed against the reverse far post, and also deliberately pushed a touchdown rebound ball!
Reuss's cross speed is not fast, this kid's cross ability is seriously unreliable, so for the sake of accuracy, he can't increase the speed of the ball, which gives the goalkeeper a chance to react and make a save, but the goalkeeper is paying more attention to Thomas? Muller will top a half-high ball or a high ball, so his attention is on the upper body, but he didn't expect this kid to use his forehead to top a bottoming rebound ball, and the most terrible thing is a reverse!
This damn German guy ......
The goalkeeper's invective in his heart didn't even finish scolding, and he heard the referee's whistle!
"The goal works!! In the 57th minute, the German team finally took the lead to break the deadlock on the field. Muller's header broke the deadlock on the pitch for Germany! ”
Just see Thomas? Muller had a hunch after the ball was overheaded. This ball is nine out of ten. So he didn't even wait for the referee to blow the whistle, and as soon as he finished the ball, the whole person turned around and rushed out of the penalty area. No one had time to stop him along the way, and they watched him burst out of the court with his arms raised. Rushed to the bottom of the stands on the sidelines.
The kid raised his head, stared at the stands, lowered his arms high, his eyes were full of sincerity, and slowly pulled up the black jersey on his body, so that everyone could see what was written inside his jersey.
"Milo, we'll wait for you to come back!"
"Milo, we'll wait for you to come back!" When the camera zooms in to Thomas? As Mueller was in front of him, the on-site commentator read the sentence written on his shirt. The white shirt and red letters are very conspicuous. Apparently Thomas? Muller deliberately wrote it for Klose in the stands.
"Milo is Klose. Thomas? Muller is going to dedicate this goal to the striker of the German team. Klose, who was injured, this is obviously his respect for this senior! ”
Standing on the sidelines, Yang Cheng also noticed Thomas? He was stunned for a moment, but quickly applauded vigorously.
Thomas? Muller and Klose are both from Kaiserslautern, and later joined Bayern Munich together, and then both played for the national team, so it can be said that they have played together for many years, and because of the relationship between Kaiserslautern back then, they have a good relationship with each other.
When he saw this scene, Yang Cheng was really inexplicably moved.
Remember when you were in Kaiserslautern, Thomas? Muller was only a few years old, a little kid, Kaiserslautern didn't have much talent at that time, no money, no people, the academy often trained with the first team, and this kid watched Ruud van Nistelrooy, Larsson and Klose train and play all day long.
Perhaps it is under this kind of influence that he has become more and more excellent in scoring efficiency, as well as his ability to run without the ball, which has been praised by countless people and is known as the hallmark of Yang Cheng's proud disciple.
Kaiserslautern is now a big club, with a well-established training base, a well-developed training ground and an academy, but the first team and the youth team are separated, and you can no longer see anything similar to Klose and Thomas? Muller and others have such a deep friendship and friendship, and now they are more about interests.
The live camera showed Klose in the stands, who smiled with relief and headed towards Thomas? Muller gave a thumbs up to show his appreciation and recognition for the striker's goal.
At least, without excellent adjustment and coordination, Thomas? Muller can't get on the scoresheet!
"On the touching side, we saw more German internationals coming to the stands, even though none of them looked like Thomas? Müller wrote slogans like that, but we can see that they are all waiting for Klose's return! ”
"Yes, many people say that Klose is not irreplaceable, but in the minds of this group of German internationals, each of their teammates is unique and irreplaceable, so they are all waiting for Klose to return, hoping that the veteran can continue to wear the German team jersey!"
"Thomas? Muller and Klose are both from Kaiserslautern, both from the Bundesliga Red Devils who swept the Europa led by Yang Cheng that year, and there are also people like Schweinsteiger and Podolski in this team who are also from that team, which is a great team! ”
Thomas? After Muller shook his fist at Klose and encouraged him, hoping that the old partner Big Brother would return from injury as soon as possible, he also turned around and hugged his teammates in celebration, and when he saw Yang Cheng not far away, he ran over and hugged his most respected head coach tightly.
Back then, he was just a child, but he was invited by Yang Cheng to Kaiserslautern, which changed his life and created his brilliance today, so he will never forget everyone in Kaiserslautern, especially his leader!
"I remember that Yang Cheng once said something touching to people."
"What football is, it varies from person to person, and for him now, football is no longer a game of losing and winning, but a medium of communication between him and his friends, comrades-in-arms, students, and opponents. Winning or losing football may already be secondary. The bigger thing is that he's enjoying what football has to offer him! ”
"We may not be able to understand Yang Cheng's mood at this moment, but we can guess that he must be very proud. Because the child he brought out back then has grown up and can be on his own! ”
The live camera always rotated on Yang Cheng's body. He also seems to be touched, and Paul next to him? Bayer and Barak hugged and high-fived, they were also the old courtiers of the Kaiserslautern team, and they all experienced and witnessed that legendary period together, which will be the most unforgettable experience of their lives.

Germany has scored, Croatia is in trouble!
Croatia's strategy against Germany has always been defence-oriented, with the primary goal of not conceding a goal, because they know it. Against a team like Germany, conceding a goal is a very dangerous thing, and the only way to do it is to make sure that you don't concede a goal. They have a chance to take points from Germany. Or even a victory.
However, when the German team scored. They panicked!
Offense or defense, this has undoubtedly become a dilemma in front of them!
That's the case with weaker teams, when you play against a strong team, you can always choose between offense and defense.
This difficult choice caused some confusion in Croatia, especially when the German team clamped down on Modric, leaving Mandzukic completely isolated in front, and Yang Cheng directly let Schweinsteiger and Toney? Klos boldly pressed up, taking advantage of this momentum and directly suppressing the Croatian midfield, Croatia was completely messed up.
When the rhythm was slowly controlled by the German team, when the situation of the game gradually tilted to the favorable side of the German team, when from the stands, the German fans cheered more and more enthusiastically, and when the German players launched an almost tidal attack from the opposite side, Croatia was completely stunned!
Mistakes after mistakes, and if it weren't for the retreat of the whole line, their goal would have been pierced by the German team for a long time, but they didn't seem to have a good solution.
The defensive midfielder replaced Rakitic, wanting to maintain the situation in the midfield and continue to stabilize the defense, but it was useless, the momentum of the German team was played, and it was impossible for Croatia to easily stabilize its position, especially when the German team skillfully controlled the ball and smoothly advanced to Croatia's 32-meter area, the offensive storm was completely launched.
Under the strong attacking pressure of the German team, Croatia exposed one problem after another, and it depends on when the German team will seize the opportunity again.
Hummels was able to intercept a long ball from Croatia before Mandzukic and drove forward, while the latter gasped for breath and tried to chase after him, but was powerless.
Since Luka Modric was frozen by the German team, coupled with Rakitic being substituted, Croatia's ball advancement has encountered a big problem, and the already weak central advance was directly cut off by the lazy waist, which forced Croatia to be unable to smoothly advance the ball to the front of the court and hand it to the feet of Mandzukic, they can only pass long passes.
Mandzukic is indeed good, a fulcrum, but unfortunately, he is not a beastly player like Drogba, under the joint freeze of Hummels and Bad Stuber, Mandzukic can get only a handful of chances to get the ball, or even almost none, Croatia again and again blind long passes, it looks more like transferring the ball to the German team.
Hummmels dribbled through the centre circle without much interference, and he noticed that Reuss on the right was being very active, the right winger was constantly pulling and running on the right flank, creating chances, and performing well, so he saw Reuss run out of an open space and immediately hit a long ball over the top.
This long pass wanted to make an arc and fell straight into the penalty area behind the Croatian defense, but Colluka, who was deployed at the front of the penalty area, was focused, and he kept an eye on Reus, as soon as he saw the German winger rushing up, he quickly stepped back, stared at the fall of the incoming ball, and stuck the position in advance.
"Colluka stopped Hummels' long ball and the German attack failed!" The on-site commentator said helplessly, this long pass is good, but it lacks suddenness, the opponent has long been eyeing it, and if you still pass it, it will be clear that it is to send the ball to others. So Hummels' long pass was completely unnecessary.
Royce also realized that he had made a sprint in vain. But he was not reconciled, and after seeing that the ball was intercepted by Colluka, he followed Yang Cheng's latest instructions. Pressed directly for Colluka, because he was the closest to the latter, and he should be the first to put in the counter-attack. It's not a pity that I didn't score just now.
Colluka stopped the ball, but as soon as he stopped, he saw Reus pressing up from his left side, but he was not nervous, first leaned on Reuss with his body, and then saw Vukojevic come back to ask for the ball, and immediately kicked the ball forward.
But just when Vukojevic thought he could get the ball smoothly, Ozil retreated at the same time and poked the ball in advance. Poked to the right and stabbed the pass to Vukojevic early.
Tony? Cross cut in from behind and watched after winning the ball. Found the distance between Colluka and Sildenfeld to be a bit large. Vukojevic also did not plug the hole, so he immediately realized that this was an opportunity. Straight to the feet, he drew a powerful volley against the ball.
Tony? It's hard to imagine how a guy who doesn't look physically strong could have hit such a powerful shot with this kind of straight shot, but after this kick was drawn, it went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal from about 23 meters from a distance of about 23 meters.
The goalkeeper's position is here, and as soon as you see Tony? Cross got up and immediately chose to fall to the ground and try to hold the ball with both hands, but the ball was too strong, the ball was too fast, and there was a little spin that he couldn't hold at all.
The ball seemed to hit the goalkeeper's hands together, but instead bounced out and landed a little to the left of the penalty spot.
After Kohluka intercepted the German team's goal just now, all the Croatian players thought that they were going to launch a counterattack, whether it was Srna on the left, or Modric and others, they were all preparing to press forward, and the overall formation was extending forward, but suddenly after being cut off the ball and playing a counterattack, everyone was caught off guard and immediately wanted to chase back.
But it takes time to chase back, no matter how fast the player is and how good the reaction is, it can't compare to Tony? Kloss's sudden long-range shot was so fast that when the ball bounced off the goalkeeper's hands, there were only two men left in the box.
One is Thomas in black? Muller, one is Hildenfeld.
Tragically, the Croatian centre-back was just beaten by Thomas? Muller used his speed and agility to shake it off, and after losing his position, he watched the German's header score, so since then, he has been sticking to Thomas like a dogskin plaster? Muller, so that the latter never got a chance.
But this time, he was also relieved and a little relaxed after seeing Colluca clear, and Tony? Klos suddenly got up, the goalkeeper suddenly got out of his hand, it all seemed to happen in the blink of an eye, and when he realized the danger, he found that he was facing away from the goal, and Thomas? What about Muller?
The damned German team didn't know when it had turned around and was facing the goal.
The biggest fear of defenders is when the opponent they are marking is attacking head-on, so when Hildenfield realizes the danger, Thomas? Muller picked up speed again, threw him behind him, and pushed the ball out of the goalkeeper's hands head-on.
Because the ball bounced off the goalkeeper and landed on the ground, Thomas? In order to pursue stability, Muller also deliberately lowered the castration of the ball, allowing the ball to almost stick to the turf and drill into the goal.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
The on-site commentator let out a long shout of the goal, and then the camera saw the fans in the stands standing up from their seats in rows and cheering vigorously.
"Thomas? Muller scored again for the German team, scoring twice, this is his second goal since this World Cup, and his seventh goal in the World Cup, a very beautiful follow-up shot, the Croatians suffered another painful blow, and the German team can even be said to have won this game in advance! ”
Yang Cheng is seeing Thomas? After Muller scored, he also excitedly shook his fists to celebrate, and then hugged and high-fived the assistants around him one after another, he knew that after the goal was scored, the game was won!
This goal seems to be accidental, but in fact it is not, because the German team in the second half obviously strengthened the long-range shooting near the penalty area, Yang Cheng at halftime, emphasized that the players should be more decisive and resolute to shoot and threaten the Croatian goal, so Toney? As soon as Cross saw the opportunity, he didn't hesitate too much and went straight to his feet.
Such shots were not uncommon in the second half, and after 23 minutes of the second half, Germany had a total of seven shots on goal, of which only three were on target, but all of them created a lot of threat for Croatia.
"It can be seen that Yang Cheng's midfield adjustment is very in place, and it is also very wise, and the German team obviously played more purposefully in the second half, especially their starting feet, a total of 4 long-range shots, and the players' starting feet are very decisive, which directly created the second goal of the German team!"
"And Thomas? Muller did not continue to stay on the wing as he did in the first half, but leaned more into the middle, creating an article against Sildenfeld's flaws, and the effect was also very ideal, and both of Germany's goals came from Sildenfeld as a breakthrough! ”
"2:0, with less than half an hour left in the game, the German team has undoubtedly won this game in advance, unless Croatia can play a Jedi counterattack, but from the current situation, Croatia is fully passive, not to mention that the counterattack is not very realistic, I am afraid that they can keep the score of 0:2, it is still an unknown number!"
