On the evening of September 7, the German team, which had been training for a week, finally ushered in the World Cup qualifiers at the AWD Stadium in Hannover, and the first game of Group C in the European zone was the Faroe Islands.

In this game, Yang Cheng discharged the 4231 tactic, the goalkeeper was Neuer, and the backline was Lahm, Bad Stuber, Hummels and Jérôme? Boateng, the double midfielder is Schweinsteiger and Toney? Cross, attacking the vanguard are Thomas? Muller, Mesut Ozil and Reuss, with Klose as the single striker.

As analyzed by the on-site commentator of this game, Yang Cheng gave up the defender Sven, who has outstanding defensive ability? Bender, choose Tony, who is more playmaking and passing? Cross, this in itself already represents Yang Cheng's attitude towards this game, that is, offense!

From the first minute of the game, the German team took advantage of the home field, launched a fierce attack on the Faroe Islands, with the advantage of strength, the German team firmly controlled the game, Yang Cheng issued a must-kill order in the pre-game preparation meeting, but also asked the team to get as many goal difference as possible.

Against the weak team, if you don't get the goal difference at this time, when will you get it?

In the 10th minute of the game, the German team, which took the initiative to attack, finally took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field.

Thomas? Muller pulled out an open on the left and got a shot from Tony? After a mid- and long-range pass, Kroos cut from the left to the middle and fired a long-range shot from the edge of the box, but it was blocked by the opposition centre-back and won a corner.

Germany takes a corner kick and Klose scrambles in front of the six-yard box. The header broke through the opponent's goal, and the ball grazed the fingertips of the opponent's goalkeeper and went straight to the bottom of the net, 1:0!

After the goal, the German team looked morale-boosting and continued to attack the Faroe Islands, even if the opponent resorted to a tight defence. But it still couldn't stop the sharp attack of the German team.

Thomas again? Muller ran to the left to pull the ball and cut inside, pulling the attention of the opposition defence and passing the ball back to Lahm, who was inserted in the back row. The two players worked well with each other, and Rahm got the ball and went straight to the baseline to cross.

Schweinsteiger was inserted in the back row, after Klose interfered with the defenders' attention. Forced into the penalty area, jumped to the top, and the header gave the German team another city, rewriting the score to 2:0!

But less than 5 minutes later, the German team played another round of fierce attacks, Reuss failed to pass the ball after a series of breakthroughs on the right side, and had to pass it back to Jérôme, who was inserted in the back? Boateng, who moved to the left unmarked Thomas with a big foot? Mueller's feet.

This time, Thomas? Muller dribbled from the left on the edge of the penalty area and cut inside into the middle, but only after two steps. Suddenly, he kicked up and fired a powerful long-range shot from the edge of the box, which crossed a beautiful arc and flew straight into the top right corner of the goal, giving Germany a 3-0 lead in the 29th minute. Seal the win early!

After taking a three-goal lead, the German team gradually slowed down the attack, and the game situation was firmly controlled by the team, Yang Cheng had to prepare for the next second leg, and he even replaced two players in one go in the 55th minute of the second half. Replaced the underperforming Mesut Ozil with Gotze, and replaced Thomas with Schurrle, who directed three goals? Muller.

After that, the game still seemed a little uneventful, until the 66th minute, Reus and Gotze ran a very tacit counter-run, Reus pulled to the middle to get the ball and sent a delicate short pass, Gotze got the ball and inserted it into the penalty area to hit the goal, rewriting the score to 4:0 for the German team!

In the 75th minute, Schurrle sent a cross after winning the ball on the side, and Gotze answered in the middle and easily pushed the goal, 5:0!

This score was finally maintained by the German team until the end of the game, the Faroe Islands failed to carry out a threatening attack on the German team's goal from beginning to end, and the whole game was pressed by the German team, and the field was very passive and embarrassed, so that the German team not only won the first victory of the group, but also got 5 goal difference. …,

On the evening of September 11, the Happel Stadium in Vienna ushered in the second round of Group C of the European World Cup qualifiers, where Germany challenged Austria away.

Germany is currently top of the group because they beat the Faroe Islands 5-0 in the first game, and the game against Germany is the first game of the group for Austria, and after a week and a half of training camp preparations, Austria will welcome the German team at their home stadium.

Because Klose played the whole game in the first leg, this game was arranged on the bench by Yang Cheng, and Ozil, who did not perform well in the first game of the group, also sat on the bench, and Yang Cheng discharged another set of 433 lineups and tactics.

The goalkeeper is Manuel Neuer, while the backline is Lahm, Bad Stuber, Hummels and Jérôme? Boateng, the three players in the midfield are Schweinsteiger and Sven? Bender, Khedira, and the three players in the front court are Thomas? Muller, Gotze and Reuss, there are no strikers up front.

However, the German team's strikerless tactics are obviously different from Spain's striker tactics, the German team's striker tactics emphasize more diagonal attack, based on defense, through the quick counterattack after the ball breaks to hit the opponent, quickly advance the ball to the opponent's threat area, and then play a match.

Austria is also a difficult opponent, after the opening, this team used the physical advantage to form a strong encirclement of the German team, so that the two sides fell into a fierce stalemate, it was always difficult to open the situation, but on the field, it was still the German team firmly in control of the game.

It wasn't until the 41st minute of the first half that Austria finally showed its flaws.

Khedira cut the ball in and handed it to Gotze, who leaned in towards Thomas? Muller, the two formed a quick pass on the left side, using quick counterattacks to tear apart the opponent's defense, attracting Austria's defensive pressure to the left side, and then Gotze made a diagonal pass to the right, allowing the unguarded Reusne to cut into the penalty area and easily push into the net. 0：1！

In the second half, the two sides changed sides again, and the German team continued to put pressure on Austria, and in the 54th minute, finally knocked on the Austrian goal again, this time Reuss cut in with the ball at 45 degrees on the right side of the rib and crossed. Muller followed up on the left and slotted the ball into the net from three yards out. 0：2！

The score was maintained until the end of the game, and Yang Cheng's team defeated Austria away with a score of 2:0. Won two consecutive wins in the group!

Two consecutive World Cup qualifiers, scoring 7 goals and conceding 0 goals. Such a record is enough to make the German team proud, which also made the German team unanimously praised by the media after the game, believing that the team is more and more stable, more and more strong team style, especially in the game against Austria, after falling into a stalemate, the German team patiently looked for a breakthrough, without the past anxiety.

"Perhaps, Mesut Ozil has become the only dark spot in the current German team!" That's Bild's review of both games, as Mesut Ozil played the Faroe Islands in their first game. Playing Austria as a substitute away from home, the result was average in both games.

Instead, Gotze, who replaced Mesut Ozil, showed a world-class standard, performing very well in two consecutive games and winning all the media accolades. Everyone agreed that Gotze was making a powerful assault on Ozil's main position, and when they threw the issue to Yang Cheng, the latter did not object.

"Yes, I don't deny that Gotze is really trying to use his excellent performances to elevate his status in my mind. I have found that Götze's rapid improvement since the beginning of this season has made me have to look at him, and I can clearly feel that his strength is taking a rapid leap forward in almost every training camp, and I am very happy about it. ”…,

'At the moment, our midfield position still belongs to Mesut Ozil, he is the best player, but in the past period of time he has been in a slump in the Bundesliga and in the national team, and although I still trust him, I sometimes reconsider whether I made the right choice!

This was interpreted by the media as Yang Cheng began to lose trust in Ozil, because the main striker has always been Yang Cheng's favorite general, but after Gotze was selected for the national team, his performance has improved by leaps and bounds, and the development momentum is very good, and unlike Ozil's lack of scoring ability, Gotze has improved very significantly on the last kick, and he is becoming more and more confident, and the brace in the first game of the group against the Faroe Islands is the most powerful evidence.

After playing two group games, the media in Germany began to unanimously hype that Gotze would challenge Ozil's position in the current national team, at least in the game against Austria, Ozil became Gotze's replacement, and Yang Cheng did not deny this.

Because Yang Cheng did not defend Ozil, he was criticized by many celebrities, thinking that he should stand up and defend his players, rather than choosing to fall into the trap when Ozil was not in good shape.

On the contrary, it was Ozil himself who took the initiative to stand up and accept an interview with reporters.

"Saying that Mr. Yang Cheng gave up on me, he is definitely a person who does not know the truth of the matter, because he talked to me the day before he was interviewed by the media, and he told me that he trusted me very much from beginning to end, and he also understood my ability, but he thought that my current state was really bad and must be improved."

"Yes, I don't deny that fitness and consistency have always been my weaknesses, but I've been training for a while and I want to be able to get rid of my shortcomings and faults and go into the game in better shape."

'I know that expectations are very high for me and for us as a team, and in the last European Championships we have shown our quality through excellent performances, we have all played our quality, but it is definitely not our peak, we can continue to improve ourselves!'

'I'm sure I'll be able to adjust quickly and the best of Ozil will be back in the fans' eyes soon!'

On the evening of October 12, 2012, the German team visited Dublin to challenge Ireland.

Captain Lahm was suspended for accumulating yellow cards, Hummels was injured in the league and two big players were sidelined, which undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the German team, and Schweinsteiger had just returned from injury in the league, which made many people doubt the German team's trip to Dublin.

Yang Cheng made some adjustments to the lineup in this game, and the goalkeeper is still Neuer. At the back, Schmelzer, Bad Stuber, Mertesacker and Jérôme? Boateng, midfielder double midfielder Toney? Cross and Khedira, the three players in the front court are Thomas? Muller, Mesut Ozil and Reuss, with Klose as the single striker.

One of the noticeable changes is that in the arrangement of the double midfield, Tony? Kloss was pulled to the position of the back by Yang Cheng as the team's organizational core. Khedira is more up front, responsible for Tony? Cross shared the pressure, a move that completely liberated Tony? Cross's organizational skills.

In this game, the German team played a very skilful and fluid combination from the start. Trapattoni's Ireland began to defend steadily, trying to keep the Germans out of the net.

But as the German team moved more and more fluidly, Ireland's goal was finally knocked open by the German team again and again.

Mesut Ozil set up Reus's goal in the 27th minute. Opened the scoring for Germany. …,

But in the 41st minute, he himself was 14 meters in front of the goal, and hit a volley with his left foot, the ball went straight into the far corner, and the goalkeeper couldn't reach it, 2:0.

In the second half, Germany continued to attack Ireland fiercely, Klose took the ball with his back and turned to cause a foul on the Irish centre-back, and Ozil took the initiative to take the penalty and converted it. 3：0。

Mesut Ozil, who scored twice, went from strength to strength, and Ireland were overwhelmed by Germany's flood of attacks, being punctured again and again, before losing to Germany by a jaw-dropping margin on their home turf.

7：0！

Mesut Ozil scored a hat-trick. Royce, Klose, Thomas? Muller and Khedira both scored a goal each!

With three consecutive wins, scoring 14 goals and conceding 0 goals, the journey of the German team in the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers can be described as surprisingly smooth, especially the good momentum shown by this German team, which makes everyone look at this new European champion, but what is more frightening is their defense.

Therefore. After the game in Dublin, when the reporter threw the question of how to ensure a sharp attack and both defense when he threw the question, the latter smiled from ear to ear and looked in a good mood.

"First of all, I want to say that the reason why our defense has become solid is because our players are very concentrated, we are a team, whether we are attacking or defending, we advocate teamwork, so when we are defending, we also pay a lot of attention to the overall layout and control, this is the way we defend!"

'Of course, we've played three games in Group C so far, and in those three games we haven't had too obvious threats, just like this game against Ireland, a team that lacks some ideas in the game, too much focus on simple long passes, but our players, especially Mertesacker, handled the long ball very well when defending the opposition's long balls, plus our counter-attack was very sharp.

When he said this, Yang Cheng kept laughing, "We Chinese have a saying, offense is the best defense, I believe so, at least this game is!" ”

"Mr. Yang Cheng, how do you evaluate Ozil in this game? You criticized him for his poor form, and now he has scored a hat-trick, do you think your motivation has worked? A reporter asked with a smile.

After Yang Cheng heard this, he shook his head with a smile, "I have to correct, I haven't criticized him, I just said my opinion, if this is also criticism, then I am criticizing people every day, right?" ”

After receiving the nods and acknowledgment from many reporters, Yang Cheng continued to continue.

'I think the most obvious change in this game compared to the previous two games is that he is more aggressive, he has become more physical, you can see all this in the game, he has run a lot more distance than in the last two games, I think it's a very welcome change because it shows that he is more integrated into the game!

'But I don't think it's the best Ozil, he can be even better, I have confidence in him!'

Yang Cheng's words were also recorded by all the reporters present, and now in the World Cup qualifiers in the entire European region, the German team has the strongest momentum, so every move of this team is very interesting.

"A lot of people say that after winning the European Championships, the German team has obviously become more confident, what do you think?"

Yang Cheng nodded, "That's for sure, the European Cup is an honor, an encouragement, an affirmation, winning the European Cup, let me and my players clearly see that as long as we are willing to work hard, we can also get everything we want, which will make us more combative, more persistent, and more confident!" ”

"Germany is on the right path and my hope for the team is that we can do better and keep improving, and we want not only the Euros, but also the Confederations Cup in 2013 and the World Cup in 2014!"

Winning the World Cup, this is undoubtedly Yang Cheng's bold words when he first took over the German national team, but many people were skeptical at the time, but now, who dares to say that the German team does not have such strength and opportunities?

But there are still people who are dissatisfied with Yang Cheng's remarks, that is, the number one star of the Swedish national team, Ibrahimovic, the Swedish striker has just helped the team defeat the opponent, and said in a high-profile manner that his team is not completely powerless against the German team, at least he believes that the team has a chance to win.

"I will definitely lead Sweden, defeat Germany, and let everyone know that they are not so strong that they are invincible!"

Regarding the provocation from the Swedes, Yang Cheng only smiled faintly, "I know that many people say that Ibu is a beast, but I have already arranged the trap to capture him!" (To be continued.)
