Many people said that Gomez's shortcomings were obvious, with headers and back-to-back balls.

It is undeniable that it is a pity to have such a great height and body, and such a traditional center forward, but not outstanding heading skills, but this does not mean that Gomez can't head the ball at all, on the contrary, his headers have always been above average, even among the strikers.

Those who say Gomez can't head the ball are probably looking at the header percentage in his goal tally, but can this thing be accurate? If you put a player with perverted header ability in a team that specializes in playing ground and penetration, can his header be played? Is it difficult to shoot with your head?

If you want to talk about the defects of being a center forward, it is obvious to hold the ball with his back, because Gomez's legs belong to the more slender type, and it is okay to sprint with big strides, but if you want to play physical confrontation, the effect is definitely not as good as that of a pervert like Drogba.

But that's relative to Drogba, and if it were someone else, it wouldn't be necessarily.

Many people's criticism of Gomez, especially Yang Cheng's harsh criticism of him, is more based on the standard of a German center forward, you must know that the German team is now one of the two strongest national teams in the world, that is to say, Yang Cheng is completely demanding Gomez with the standard of the world's No. 1 center forward.

Perhaps, by the standard of being the number one in the world, Gomez has great shortcomings, there are shortcomings of one kind or another, but if the standards are lowered, then he is completely a beast-level powerful striker.

Look at the Japanese central defender who was in charge of guarding Gomez in this game, Maya Yoshida, who is 1.89 meters tall, which is exactly the same as Gomez, but he weighs only 81 kilograms, while Gomez has 86 kilograms. That's 5 kilograms less.

Don't underestimate these 5 kilograms. That's 10 pounds of meat, for professional players, especially for strong centers and central defenders. These 10 pounds of meat can often represent many aspects of a player, including being strong and physically confrontational. In terms of strength, it's not just a matter of losing 10 pounds of muscle.

Therefore, as early as before the game, Klopp once said that Gomez can play a huge role in playing Japan, and Yang Cheng unceremoniously pushed Gomez to the front line again in this game, and at the same time ran the team's offensive tactics around him.

Germany's first shot on goal after the opening came in the 54th second, when Jérôme? Boateng crosses from the right. Finding Gomez in the box with precision, the latter pressed Maya Yoshida and shook his head to the goal. But the ball went just wide of the goal.

But less than a minute passed. Germany are back again, and this time looking more prepared.

Tony? After Kloss got the ball and got rid of the tangle of defenders. A through ball crossed the attacking line, through the Japanese midfield, and pinpointed into the area between the back line and the front line.

Ozil to the left, Gomez retreated from the front line for the first time, pulled out Maya Yoshida, but did not stop the ball and passed the ball back directly, to the feet of Ozil who was facing the goal, Bayern's forward and teammates were skillful and tacit, pulled to the vacant position to receive the ball, stopped, fell, the ball crossed the Japanese team's defense, fell to the position where Yoshida Ma should have been stationed.

Thomas? Muller rushed forward from behind, using his arms and body to firmly leave the Japanese right-back Atsuto Uchida behind, raised his foot high, hooked Ozil's pass with his foot, and stopped, at the same time, his original sprinting body also stopped suddenly, so that Atsuto Uchida, who was entangled with him at all times, couldn't retract directly and fell to the ground.

Stopped urgently, pulled out a position in the middle, volleyed with his right foot, the ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the far point of the goal, hit the right post, and bounced into the goal, 1:0!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

"Oh my God, less than two minutes into the game, Germany had two dangerous shots on goal, and Thomas ? Muller took the lead in the first minute to break through the Japanese team's goal, 1:0! ”

'It was definitely a very premeditated rush and goal, from Toney? Klos went straight to Gomez, who retreated to receive the ball, pulled the Japanese team's defense, and knocked back to find Ozil, who did not hesitate to plug behind him, Thomas? Muller cut in from an offside position to stop the ball and volley, the whole process happened in the blink of an eye, but it directly blew up the Japanese team's goal! ”

Just see Thomas? As soon as Muller scored, Zaccheroni couldn't help jumping up from his seat anymore, rushed out of his position, looked at the field in amazement, watched the German who scored the goal rush out of the penalty area excitedly, he still can't see how the German team scored!

It's so fast, it's just dazzling, it's like magic!

Watching the excited Germans on the pitch celebrating their goal, and watching the frustrated Japanese on the pitch, their heads pulled and looking like a defeated rooster decayed, all of this completely disrupted Zaccheroni's pre-match set-up.

Yes, he wants to be stable, but the premise of stability is to prevent Germany from scoring!

But now not only did they fail to prevent Germany from scoring, but they also conceded in the first minute of the opening game, which is an absolute nightmare!

Pulling, this is undoubtedly the strength of the German team, their off-the-ball running is pulling the opponent's defense all the time, which is also the most headache for all teams facing Germany, because a team that keeps running and cooperating is the most difficult to defend!

"I'm going to sue this bastard for plagiarism!" After Ferguson in the stands saw Yang Cheng's team score a goal for Japan, he laughed and said to Mourinho next to him that this was simply copying his Manchester United run-and-gun tactics.

I have to say that the current trident speed of the German team is not slow, especially in this game, Yang Cheng's team suppressed Japan in the midfield, and the fullbacks actively pressed into the midfield, which made the team's overall formation pressed, which shortened the distance between the trident and the opponent's goal, so the speed requirements were not great.

Of course, it would be more ideal if there was a speed player like Xiao Xiao Luo.

The Japanese defense had to maintain enough stretch, also known as depth. So it's impossible for them to put the back line in the box. This is a dead end, once the defensive line is placed in the penalty area, it will definitely be pressed by the German team. Mourinho and others have said this many times.

However, if you keep defending in depth, once the opponent attacks. Getting the ball into your dangerous zone, your backline having to retract, and the midfielder having to retract all take time to complete, so if the opponent can move the ball quickly and create a threat during the period when you retract, it could theoretically form a shot.

Like just Thomas? Muller's shot, the whole process looked tedious, but it was a touch of the ball. Quickly, when the ball came to the feet of Ozil, it was combed by the player. He rubbed the ball past the Japanese defence. Into the penalty area, Thomas? Muller cut into the box and had his final shot on goal. The whole process of the Japanese team's defense was completely toyed with applause.

The so-called run-and-bomb tactics are actually that when the opponent's speed from defense to attack is faster than the speed at which you change from attack to defense, the threat of run-and-bomb tactics can be brought into full play!

For this game, the Japanese team started steadily and wanted to slow down the tempo, but the German team was indiscriminate and gave you a slap directly from the beginning, but I didn't expect to really break through the Japanese team's goal.

"This bastard is a blind cat who touched a dead mouse and picked up a bargain!" Mourinho didn't like it, how to look at it and think that Yang Cheng was lucky, he started the game completely to attack, to actively attack and strive for goals, but the second attack worked, which is definitely luck.

It is also to blame that Zaccheroni's tactics were too conservative, and he took a completely passive attitude after the start, which undoubtedly boosted the arrogance of the German team, while Gomez, although he did not have an advantage in physical confrontation and competition when encountering some of the first-class central defenders in Europe, faced Japan...... It's just crushing!

The goal just now also related to Gomez's use of his own deterrence to attract the attention of Japan's two central defenders. Muller's chances have a lot to do with that, in a way, Gomez is also contributing to the team.

"In such a game, Yang Cheng must insist on focusing on his own offense, they have an advantage in all aspects, and it is naturally impossible to think about Japan's problems anymore, so this guy is ruthless enough, he will be crushed directly as soon as he comes up, and he will not save some face for others, no wonder that group of Japanese fans hate him so much, he deserves it!" Ferguson laughed.

Jose Mourinho laughed too, but they laughed more about the current situation in the German team.

scored in the first minute, the situation was completely opened, with Yang Cheng's character, with the strength of the German team, and with Japan's passivity, Yang Cheng had no possibility of keeping his hand at all, this guy would definitely pounce directly and tear the unlucky opponent to pieces.

"I was expecting Japan to teach him a small lesson, but I didn't expect this team to be so bad!" Mourinho sighed, looking regretful.

Ferguson laughed, these two guys are used to fighting, and now Yang Cheng is no longer coaching a professional team, making Mourinho, an old boy, seem to be a little lacking in opponents, although not long ago, Mourinho's Chelsea successfully froze Real Madrid's attack in the final, but in the end it was still Raul's team with the flash of the star, a goal lost.

But Mourinho is not too addicted to this game, feeling that Raul's Real Madrid lacks the kind of treachery of Yang Cheng's period, or rather, Raul is just following the rules, following the path and direction planned and arranged by Yang Cheng for him, at best, some small changes, which makes Real Madrid face any team is crushed.

The reason why football is called war is because in the world of football, the law of the jungle is still retained, and whoever has the biggest fist can win the final victory.

…………

…………

A goal was scored at the beginning of the game, and such a dream start undoubtedly gave the German team full of confidence and morale to win a big victory against Japan and wash the opponent in blood.

When he saw that the morale and the situation were in his favor, he immediately asked the players on the pitch to press hard, especially the two full-backs who actively pressed forward, completely suppressing the Japanese team in their half and having a trapped-beast fight.

If Germany just scored after the opening, if they just attacked fluidly, it wouldn't be a headache. However, the front trident of this team began to actively participate in the frontcourt counter-robbery. Gomez, in particular, is uncharacteristically very aggressive in front.

Gomez's aggressiveness and pressing were mainly aimed at Japan's two centre-backs, who he was constantly juggling between. Wrap around them, don't give them a chance to get the ball easily, once the ball is running to the back. Immediately force them to move the ball out as quickly as possible.

In the face of such a team, it is really unlikely that the Japanese team wants to control the ball and slow down the tempo.

If they continue to play their own possession, unless they have the same kind of anti-natural possession skills as Barcelona, but the Japanese team is far inferior to Barcelona in terms of technical details and running off the ball, which makes them either change their style and tactics. Follow the German team, or you will make frequent mistakes and mistakes.

Zaccheroni is also a well-known manager. He's not the kind of person who doesn't understand the situation. A manager who doesn't know how to be flexible, after he realizes the problem. Adjustments were made immediately, requiring players to play the ball as quickly as possible, abandoning the slow-paced tactics of possession that they had set up and arranged after the opening.

But the German team is a bit like the kind of reckless man who is unforgiving, anyway, I don't care if you have a reason or not, no matter who you are or what you want to do, anyway, I have an advantage in strength now, I just want to completely crush you and knock you down.

This made the Japanese team depressed, but the Japanese team is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Zaccheroni is also the head coach of Italy, and the defensive line is also the first way, and he began to organize an effective defensive line, trying to suppress the German team's fierce offensive momentum.

But this kind of blocking is still effective in a short period of time, but if the opponent is allowed to attack like this for a long time, it will inevitably be a hundred secrets.

This time, the German team still found Reuss on the right side with a long pass directly from the backfield, who quickly cut inside with the ball and cut diagonally into the Japanese team's penalty area at a 45-degree angle, but when picking up Gomez, the ball was intercepted by the Japanese team's defenders and cleared out of the penalty area with a big foot, but Schweinsteiger, who was inserted in the second wave, controlled the ball steadily.

Japan's defense started from the midfield, and immediately pressed Schweinsteiger for the first time, Piggy moved the ball to the left, and Lahm cut in from behind, and after winning the ball, he dribbled along the left side.

At the front of the big penalty area, Thomas? Instead of standing inside and waiting for Lahm's pass, Muller ran outside to prevent Lahm from being forced to death on the touchline by Japan, and Lahm quickly sent the ball straight to Thomas? Mueller's feet.

Thomas? Muller took the ball on the left side, leaned back to the sideline, faced Atsuto Uchida, a feint, suddenly increased his speed and quickly walked the ball to the bottom line, but Atsuto Uchida was also stable and followed Thomas to death? Muller.

Seeing that there is no more chance, Thomas? Muller made a sharp stop, changed direction, turned around, and still failed to break through.

But just when everyone thought that the German team's attack was about to come to an end, Rahm didn't know when, he shook off the Japanese team's midfielder and defenders, and quickly inserted along the left corner of the penalty area. Muller's ball was soon at the feet of Lahm, who stopped the ball in the left-hand corner of the box and headed down the middle.

“…… Lahm wins the ball in the box and is dangerous......"

Before the on-site commentator had even finished shouting about the danger, Ram had already picked up his right foot and slammed it against the ball, and everyone just heard a thud, and the ball shot out like a cannonball from Ram's feet.

Lahm's shot was a bit similar to the one he scored against Costa Rica at the '06 World Cup, but this time instead of using the forefoot as he did back then, he curled the ball with the outside of his instep, sending the ball in a subtle arc but with a strong spin.

The ball seemed to be in the middle, but the slight arc turned to the far corner, that is, the position of the upper right corner, the goalkeeper of the Japanese team made a mistake in the judgment, and when he reacted, he made a flying save, it was obviously too late, and he could only watch the ball hang into the corner of the goal.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

"From Philip? Lahm's goal, a very beautiful volley, scored the second goal of the game for the German team, and the game was played in less than 25 minutes, and the German team had already taken a two-goal lead, and the advantage was very obvious! ”

If the past two games have been depressing, then in this game, the German team's performance since the beginning of the first half has made everyone addicted, and the desire to attack is very strong, especially after scoring in the opening game, and then it was a round of fierce attack, completely suppressing the Japanese team with artillery fire, and pressing Japan in the half.

But even so, it was still forced out of the defensive line by the German team.

"The Japanese team's defense is sloppy, revealing flaws, in the left corner of the penalty area, the backfoot Lahm is definitely the most goalscoring area, their midfielder did not follow Lahm in time, resulting in the German captain advancing to the left corner area, and no one is on the side to follow the defense, which has to be said to be a big mistake of the Japanese team."

However, it can also be seen from the slow motion that Gomez is in Thomas? When Muller pulled to the left side, he obviously had a move to attract the defender to his side, obviously to create opportunities for Lahm's insertion, which should also be a conscious offensive cooperation of the German team, very tacit understanding, causing the Japanese team to concede two goals in a row, and the German team also made a fantastic start! ”

"With a two-goal lead, the German team is undoubtedly already winning, and then it depends on how the Japanese team defends, will this game become the best goal battle in the group stage of the World Cup?" The on-site commentator laughed for fear that the world would not be chaotic.

Undoubtedly, this is also the thinking of countless people.
