Someone once asked Yang Cheng, what kind of off-ball running is called outstanding?

The answer given by Yang Cheng is surprisingly simple, and the running that makes the opponent lose space is the best!

There is no doubt that running off the ball is becoming more and more important in modern football tactics, and has even become a subject that all managers attach great importance to, and even countless people will specialize in the opponent's running without the ball, studying the players' running without the ball, and any team wants to have as many masters of running off the ball as possible.

Because, running without the ball can greatly enrich a team's offensive routines and defensive tactics.

Many people commented on Inzaghi, believing that he can always be in key positions at critical moments, believing that this is his sensitive sense of smell, which is also part of running without the ball, because he knows where to run to catch the ball, can get out of the control of defenders, and as long as he is out of the control of defenders, then he can shoot as he wants.

Germany have always been excellent off the ball, and this team has never had a shortage of excellent off-ball runs, but this time, they once again staged a clever off-ball running routine.

As Bad Stuber sent the ball up front with his precise long-range missile pass, Klose stood between Barzagli and Bonucci, and he cut in the moment after Bad Stuber's pass, and was offside and got ahead of Barzagli.

It was too far from the goal and his physical strength was too much, Klose knew that if he chose to dribble the ball, he might not have a chance to enter the penalty area and face the goal directly to form a single knife, so he chose to lean to the right side of the goal to dribble the ball and pull Barzagli and Bonucci, who was catching up behind, to the right.

But at this time, the other striker of the German team, Thomas? Muller cut in from behind, and instead of getting close to Klose, he chose to make a quick move to the left side of the goal.

In the counterattack at a critical moment. Defensive attention must have been focused on the ball carrier, so Klose used his own dribbling to distract the Italian defenders and then around the edge of the right-hand corner of the box. Choosing to pass the ball laterally to Thomas, who had just reached the top of the arc at the edge of the box? Muller.

At this point, there wasn't even a single defender around the latter, and Thomas? Muller did not waste the opportunity that Klose had worked so hard to create, he dribbled into the penalty area, faced Buffon, who had to abandon the goal, calmly volleyed the ball to the right side of the goal, and sent the ball into the Italian goal!

At this moment. All the German fans in the stadium stood up in unison, and even Yang Cheng on the sidelines was so excited that he raised his hands and made fists, excitedly celebrating the team's second goal.

“2：0！ Thomas? Muller's brace gave Germany their second goal!! ”

On the big screen in the stadium, there was a replay of Klose for Thomas? Muller pulled open and was caught between Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci to get the ball out.

'It was a very beautiful team goal. Bad Stuber's long ball from the back launched a counter-attack, and Klose cleverly exploited the anti-offside position to attract the attention of several defenders of the opposition with the ball. For Thomas? Muller's back-cut to create space and then pass the ball to an unguarded Thomas? Muller. ”

Live TV cameras focused on Klose and Thomas, hugging and celebrating on the sidelines? Muller, the two hugged tightly in celebration, and the latter was clearly saying something in Klose's ear.

"Thomas? Muller's goal must be thanks to Klose, at least half of the credit for this goal went to Klose, because the latter's pull was so clever and ingenious, he directly pulled Italy's main defensive attention to himself, and that's why there is Thomas? Muller's plug in. ”…,

'It's already the 68th minute of the second half, two goals behind. There is not much suspense in this game, and the only thing we can look forward to now is whether Prandelli still has a good way to make substitutions, otherwise, the German team may take advantage of the victory and continue to chase Italy! ”

As he was talking, he saw that not long after the restart. Prandelli made a substitution, replacing Balotelli with Di Natale, the former is not young and experienced, and may not be as effective as Balotelli in terms of tactics, but he is better than Balotelli in terms of shooting efficiency.

And the important point is that Balotelli no longer has much physical fitness, from the fact that he was at a disadvantage to Bad Stuber one after another just now, and the activity area is gradually shrinking, it can be seen that his physical strength has been exhausted, and the effect of staying on the court is not obvious, rather than wasting opportunities, it is better to replace it and use the more efficient Di Natale to play for a while.

Yang Cheng did not make substitutions, continued to maintain the team's 451 tactics, launched a fierce attack on Italy, took advantage of the momentum of the goal to press Italy back, forced Prandelli to make a second substitution, replacing Montolivo with Mota.

In this way, Yang Cheng made the first substitution of the whole game, replacing Ozil, who was obviously not physically fit enough, with Gotze, making it clear that he wanted to use Gotze's assault ability and the abundant physical strength after Yu Bu came on the field to further impact the Italian defense.

…………

…………

As the clock ticked 70 minutes, the Italian began to experience a lack of fitness.

Pirlo, Marchisio and other players were unable to run, and Prandelli had no choice but to signal the team to start retracting, allowing the German team to control the field, and he adopted a typical Italian contraction defense.

With the German team with two goals in hand, and now it is another key game to decide the outcome of the game, Yang Cheng naturally has no need to continue to fight with Italy, he is happy to leave some energy to spend with Italy.

"Italy is clearly overdrawn!" The on-site commentator sighed with embarrassment.

"This is an interesting thing, because before the European Cup, Yang Cheng decided to lead the team to Tigne, France for physical reserve training, which caused an uproar around the world at that time, and many people questioned Yang Cheng, thinking that he was a layman preparing for the national team competition, and should not have made such a decision at all."

"However, now that there are so many games in the European Championship, we can all see that one opponent after another has fallen in front of the German team, and this team is playing better and better. The condition is getting better and better, and the physical strength is getting more and more abundant, and the physical advantage has completely become the most powerful weapon for the German team to destroy the opponent. ”

"I believe that at this time, no one will doubt Yang Cheng's decision to train before the competition!"

The on-site narrator was talking. It was clear that many of the German fans in the stands were already eager to celebrate, as the situation was now completely tilted in favor of the Germans, who were putting pressure on Italy with possession and pulling.

Prandelli's team has obviously not been able to keep up, firstly, they have one less day of rest than the German team, and secondly, they are not physically advantageous, and they fought so fiercely in the first half that they are now starting to be a little overwhelmed. Naturally, they don't dare to press out and fight again, otherwise they may lose even worse.

"Previously, a reporter from the German Bild newspaper reported a news that Yang Cheng arranged for the players to conduct high-intensity training for up to 30 minutes every day to stretch their physical fitness, and in order to better recover, they would let the players go to the swimming pool full of ice water every day for activities."

"We have reason to believe that the fitness of the German team at this European Championship has definitely impressed. I don't know how many national teams will follow the German team's preparations! When he said this, the on-site commentator smiled, and he knew it clearly. With Yang Cheng's influence and status today, his every move will cause countless people to follow suit. …,

"But it seems necessary to remind those who want to be effective that the German team's training is the result of high-tech calculations and experiments, and if you don't understand the trick, it can backfire and cause injuries to the players, which is more than worth the cost, after all, the athlete's body is very sensitive."

Yang Cheng soon made a second substitution, this time replacing Schweinsteiger with Khedira, obviously to give the little pig time and opportunity to rest. Let him prepare well for the next final.

Because everyone can see that Italy has obviously lost the confidence and fighting spirit of the final counterattack, their physical fitness is not good, their tactics have been suppressed, and they have been completely passive, and the German team has a clear advantage. Naturally, it is impossible to be reversed by Italy.

In the third substitution, Yang Cheng replaced Klose with Gomez.

The German veteran didn't score in this game and didn't get too good absolute chances, but his contribution to this team is real, at least the team's two goals have his credit in it, Thomas? Both of Muller's goals came from assists from Klose, which shows Klose's contribution to the team's attack.

Therefore, when Klose left the field, almost all the German fans on the scene applauded the veteran.

Except for the first game of the injury and the second game he missed, Klose performed very well in other games, interpreting the role of an all-round single striker, and his contribution to this German team was also very large, at least won the absolute trust of Yang Cheng, so as soon as he returned from injury, Gomez could only sit on the bench sadly.

Beep~Beep~Beep~~~

"With the referee's whistle, this European Cup semi-final is officially over!!"

The on-site commentator announced the result loudly at the moment of the whistle, and in the Donetsk Donbass Arena, everyone in the German team rushed onto the pitch to celebrate their arrival in the final of the European Championship again.

In the last three tournaments, they have reached the final of three consecutive editions, but interestingly, they have faced Spain in three consecutive European Championship finals, and the first two games have lost 0:1, and in the first game of the group of this European Championship, the German team lost to Spain 0:1 again, which has to be said to be a big interesting story in the history of football.

"Let's congratulate

Germany, they finally reached the final of the European Championship again, and this is the reward they deserve! ”

"Yang Cheng's team has been doing better and better in this European Championship, this team is improving in almost every game, and there are eye-catching performances in every game, which gives us enough reason to renew our confidence in this team and believe that they will be able to bring enough threat and challenge to Spain in the final!"

"It was a very intense semi-final, and there were a lot of exciting scenes, but it was more about the confrontation and strategy of the two managers on a tactical level, and the execution of the players on the pitch. It was a high-quality game and although it looked like it was dull and stalemate at times, it was a dangerous game throughout. ”

"If you want to say, this game Germany won against Italy. If you win somewhere, I think, it's their speed, especially their speed on the wings, on Lahm's side, and the team's excellent off-ball movement. ”

"The German team beat Italy, and that proved it again. Teams that rely too much on a core player are starting to lose touch with the current football environment, and teams with multi-organizational core tactics like Germany and Spain will gradually appear on the world stage, at least in the last three tournaments, it has been these two teams that have reached the finals! ”…,

'We shouldn't blame Prandelli for this defeat, at least in my opinion, he has played this Italian team to the extreme, but they have consumed too much in the league. The shorter break time than the German team led to problems with their fitness, coupled with the German team's intention to speed up. As a result, Italy was a little unable to keep up with the whole game. ”

"Prandelli is a manager to admire and I am confident that after tonight's game, he will earn the respect of everyone, especially the more aggressive style of tactics that he admires, showing us all an alternative Italian style of football, which has won the admiration of experts and fans alike."

"As for Yang Cheng, we have nothing to say, we can lead the German team, which was not favored before the game, and was defeated by Spain at the beginning, and finally reached the final in one go. On that basis, Yang Cheng has already lived up to his reputation, but I believe that all the fans, including me, hope that he will be able to play against Spain in the final. Bring us more surprises again. ”

While the on-site commentator was talking, Yang Cheng walked into the stadium with a smile all the way under the tracking and filming of the live TV camera, and he kept high-fiveing and celebrating with the players of the German team, but he never stopped his pace.

I saw him go all the way from the side of the court to the center circle, and Pirlo was standing here, a little stupid, as if he was reluctant to leave the stage, as if he wanted to stay longer.

This was his last European Championship, but unfortunately he didn't have the last laugh at this European Championship.

If you use Chinese words, things in the world are not as good as they should be!

"You've done your best, Andrea!" Yang Cheng walked up to him and put it on his shoulder.

Pirlo is no longer the young and handsome Double Ten young man he was when he first went to Inter Milan, and now he has entered the twilight of his career, and it is already certain that he will not have the opportunity to appear on the international stage such as the European Championship or even the World Cup.

Because of this, he was the hardest player in the team from beginning to end of the entire European Cup, but unfortunately, sometimes the effort may not necessarily be rewarded.

"I remember you said, how can things be as good as they should be, but please be worthy of your heart!" Pirlo translated this Chinese sentence so awkwardly that he couldn't help but laugh, but the meaning was translated, "I didn't understand it when I was young, but now that I think about it, I understand!" ”

Yang Cheng nodded and smiled, "Understanding it means that you are mature, and it means that you have done it!" ”

Pirlo looked at Yang Cheng, his eyes were full of respect, because he was the one who guided Pirlo's progress and development, making Pirlo the world's top superstar, this is the person he respects the most in his life, losing to him, Pirlo has nothing to say.

"Congratulations, Chief!" Pirlo didn't say anything, stepped forward, opened his arms, and hugged Yang Cheng tightly.

This may be the last time he will hug the manager he respects the most, as an opponent, and after tonight, he may never have a chance again, so this hug will be held tightly for a long time.

Yang Cheng also hugged him, not knowing what to say, and finally he just said, "No matter what, I am proud of you, you are one of the best and best players in the world, and it is the same in this European Cup!" ”

To be able to have such an outstanding performance at such an advanced age, there are not many such players in today's football, Pirlo is one, and Klose is too, such players are often prone to the harsh criticism of some young fans, hoping that they can be as diverse as they were when they were young, but they always have a conscientiousness, interpreting their professionalism and dignity, they are worthy of the admiration of all players and fans.

Seeing off Pirlo, Yang Cheng thought of Barak.

This former disciple has retired from the Bundesliga, and after the end of this European Cup, he will also retire from the national team and officially retire from football, and Yang Cheng promised him before that he must bring a championship to his career and taste his wishes and pursuits.

In the European Cup final, he met Spain again, Yang Cheng knew that this game would be very, very difficult, because Bosque had suffered a loss, he would definitely learn to be obedient once, and he would no longer give the German team a chance like the first game of the European Cup, and he would definitely try his best to limit the German team's performance.

This game will be very, very tough, and it will even be the most difficult game since Yang Cheng took charge of the German team, but there is no way back for him.

Losing to Spain in the World Cup final, losing to Spain in the first game of the European Cup, and losing to the same team twice in a row, this is impossible for Yang Cheng to accept, he must fight back, he must resist, and maintain his pride and dignity!

For the German team, this is not only a European Cup final, nor is it just a European Cup title, but also a battle of shame! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
