958 Champion Phase
There is a saying that is true, if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.
Flowers must always be accompanied by green leaves, and the protagonist must also have a dragon set off.
Xiao Xiaoluo is like a fish in water in Real Madrid, at least in Yang Cheng's entire tactical system, he can get very clear tactical instructions, he knows what he should do, what he should do, and he doesn't have to be in such a dilemma as now, completely lose himself.
Real Madrid's players are all outstanding, which makes Xiao Xiaoluo cooperate with them very smoothly, and after a long period of cooperation, everyone is tacitly familiar with each other, and often as long as a look and movement, you can guess what the other party is going to do.
But it is clear that in the Portuguese national team, it is impossible for Ronaldo to get all this at Real Madrid.
First of all, his partner, the forward line has always been Portugal's weakness, since Pauletta, Portugal's forward line has always been a big problem, some people may think that Pauletta himself is not a top scorer, at least he has not proven himself in the tournament, but Pauletta's goal efficiency is at least there, and the tactical contribution to this team is also indelible, isn't it?
But after Pauletta, Postiga obviously does not have the strength to support Portugal's forward banner, which makes Portugal have not been able to build a complete offensive system since Pauleta.
Without a striker, without a sharp knife at the front, there is no way to talk about the system!
There is also the decline in the overall strength of the team, before Portugal was guarded by famous players such as Maniche and Deco, but now Portugal is a midfield composed of Moutinho, Meireles and Veloso, not to mention the strength, you can see from the fame how the combat ability of these players is.
So in this game, the tactics of the German team are really very simple, pinch the Portuguese midfield, trap Moutinho, Meireles and Veloso, and completely suppress your midfield. How do you push the ball? You can only rely on full-backs and long balls to plan the attack, and bypass the midfield as much as possible.
This style of play is really ineffective against Ronaldo, Postiga and Nani, who have excellent frontal defensive ability against a team like Germany. Especially once the scene is contained, it immediately appears very passive.
It stands to reason that the problem with Portugal's forward line is not new to today, Paul? Bento has also been very clear before, in his tactical positioning, the striker has never been an important point of attack for the team, but a player similar to cannon fodder. He is responsible for connecting the left and right wings, which means that Postiga's mission is to be able to connect Rowe and Nani.
But Hummels' performance in this game was really open, and again and again made Postiga depressed and didn't even have a chance to get the ball smoothly, and resolved Portugal's attack again and again, coupled with Kyle sitting behind him, Hummels dared to move forward again and again, cutting off the connection between Xiao Xiao Luo and Nani. Let them fight on their own.
Well, once the left and right lose their echo, the front and back will be cut off. The entire tactical layout of Portugal has been cut into several pieces, Xiao Xiaoluo can only fight alone in the front, he will be the organizer for a while, and he will rush to the front as a terminator for a while, unless he is a superman wearing underwear, otherwise, who can withstand such a toss?
So at half-time, Ronaldo Jr. was in the dressing room, against coach Paul? Bento put forward his own ideas, he thinks the manager is at this time. The players should be given a clear task to be asked of, but also himself, to see how to play the game and what his thinking is.
Paul? Bento also made adjustments, allowing Coentrondo on the left to move forward aggressively and help Ronaldo. Provide support to the superstar and give Ronaldo the confidence to attack in front. …,
I have to say, Xiao Xiaoluo's strength is definitely super strong, this kid is really tough, don't expect to be able to defend against him single-handedly.
At the beginning of the second half, Portugal, who were at a disadvantage, immediately launched a round of attack.
This time, Ronaldo, who was a strong attacking point, got a chance to get the ball in the 46th minute, and he quickly dribbled forward on the left flank to face Jérôme one-on-one? By the time Boateng, the kid's speed had already risen, and he turned into an inward cut, and the whole movement was very beautiful, clean and neat, and directly put Jérôme? Boateng dodged away.
Hummels' performance in this game is indeed outstanding, as soon as he saw Xiao Xiao Luo's speed coming together, he was already aware of the danger, because Yang Cheng mentioned in the tactical preparation that Xiao Xiao Luo's threat is mainly reflected in his mobile state, especially when he is moving at high speed, so he has an extra heart.
Little Luo flashed away Jérôme? Boateng, Hummels blocked it for the first time, forcing the Portuguese to shoot directly when they could not get an effective point of the ball, but this shot failed to hit the goal, the angle was correct, but it was just cheap Neuer for nothing, giving the latter an extra statistic.
The Portuguese superstar was clearly talking to Coentrão behind him as he walked back, and three minutes later, he once again had a chance to break through on the left, but this time Ronaldo chose to break through with the ball along the wing, and after using his speed to force an overtake, he knocked back to Coentrão, who got the ball and got his foot directly at the edge of the penalty area.
It was Hummels who flew to block Coentrão's shot and turned it into a corner, but Portugal's corner couldn't get a good deal on Germany...... Only one Cristiano? Ronaldo is not enough! Yang Cheng saw all this on the sidelines, and he believed that Xiao Xiaoluo must have felt very deeply at this moment what it means to be alone, because he is like this!
"Now Portugal's offensive and morale are a little up, we have to keep him down!"
Yang Cheng realized the problem, if Portugal is allowed to continue to attack like this, the rhythm and situation of the game will gradually be pulled away by them, which is very unfavorable to the German team, so the best way is to suppress this threat before it becomes stronger, and nip it in the bud.
"Let Khedira and Schweinsteiger move a little further forward, keep an eye on Moutinho and Veloso, especially Moutinho, and let Portugal go more on Veloso's side!" Yang Cheng immediately made adjustments.
Veloso is a player known to anyone who has played FM Football Manager, Yang Cheng also liked to play FM Football Manager in his previous life, and he also knew this Portuguese demon, he felt strange at that time, why is no one interested in a world-class defender? Are all European scouts blind?
Wait until he actually coaches a team. After really understanding Veloso's style of play, he really realized that a game is still a game after all, but the reality is very cruel. There are many things that can be seen in reality, but they can't be reflected in game data.
Veloso is an interesting player, physical, with good headers, good ability to read the game, good passing and good ability to shoot and score. He won a lot of praise when he debuted, but he was a bit weird, a little defensive, but not a sweeper, a little technical, but not the playmaking and passing ability that a playmaker would need.
In Yang Cheng's view, one of the most important factors hindering his development is actually because of his slowness.
Slow to get the ball. Slow balling has become the biggest taboo in modern football tactics as a midfield passer. Because if you are slow, it will directly prompt the team's entire offensive and defensive transition to be slow, which is a big taboo. …,
So it can be seen that the three most talented midfielders in Portugal, Veloso became famous the earliest, but he is still in Portugal, Moutinho became famous early and was used with De Cobi, but he also stayed in Portugal because of his physical confrontation with the weak relationship. But the development was better, but it was Meireles, who joined the big team directly and performed well.
Yang Cheng said that he wanted to focus on Moutinho, in fact, he wanted to further amplify Moutinho's weaker characteristics and weaken his role. At the same time, as long as Moutinho's side is frustrated, Portugal will naturally go to Veloso's side, and at that time, Veloso's slow ball will also be exposed.
Yang Cheng's adjustment quickly reaped the effect, and the German team quickly repressed Portugal, especially in the midfield, completely re-pressing the momentum of Portugal's three midfielders, and making Portugal's trident once again lonely in front.
In the 68th minute, Sven? Bender broke the ball successfully and passed to Schweinsteiger to play Portugal on a counter-attack, and after the piggy advanced quickly with the ball, it was distributed to the left side and handed to Ozil.
At this time, Coentrão stepped forward to assist and did not come back, Alves had to make up for it, but Ozil cut to the middle with the ball and crossed the high point of the penalty area with his left foot.
Thomas? Muller cut into the penalty area from the left side, and when no one was defending, he shot Gomez's ferry with a steady foot, and sent the ball directly into the goal guarded by Patricio again, 2:0!
After the German teenager scored a goal, he turned excitedly and rushed out of the penalty area, rushed to the sideline and jumped high, waving his hands in fists, this was his first goal in this European Championship and the second goal of the German team in this game, which can almost be said to have laid the situation in advance.
The on-site commentator did not have the passion for this goal in the first half, in his opinion, Portugal was suppressed by the German team throughout the game, and it was a matter of time before they were scored again, and it would be strange if they did not score.
"Everybody knows that Portugal's biggest advantage is their number one superstar, Cristiano? Ronaldo, Portugal's left winger's performance in Real Madrid is simply phenomenal, but when he comes to Portugal, he feels like heaviness, and every sprint seems to be dragging the whole team in the sprint, making him lose the sharpness he had when he was in Real Madrid, the shock of lightning tearing through the night sky. ”
"After the adjustment in the second half, Portugal launched a counterattack, and Ronaldo had a few times to get the ball and perform back to the level, but he was quickly pressed back, which really makes people wonder, Paul? Is Bento's tactics really designed around Ronaldo? ”
Soon, Portugal made their first substitution, bringing on Oliveira for Postiga, who was clearly trying to link the midfield and the attack, and Oliveira's introduction immediately played a key role.
In the 73rd minute, Portugal played a counterattack, Pepe found Oliveira, who passed a diagonal pass from behind in the middle, and accurately found Xiao Xiaoluo on the left, who dribbled into the box at high speed and faced Jérôme who quickly returned to the defense? Boateng's close press barely got to his feet, but his shot from close range was saved by Neuer, who reacted very quickly.
Such an attack did not work. Xiao Xiao Luo looked very depressed, and when he walked back, he still seemed to be muttering words, and his heart looked unhappy, because the pass he gave Oliveira just now was actually not comfortable receiving it.
In Real Madrid. His catch is comfortable, is that because of David behind him? Silva, Kaka and Iniesta were always able to get the ball to his step so that he didn't have to slow down to catch the ball, but Oliveira was not the kind of creative passer after all, and the passing was watched by people, so that Ronaldo's speed could not be effectively used. …,
But no matter what, Xiao Xiao Luo finally got a chance. It's just that these opportunities all look bad.
"At the end of the day, this Portuguese offensive push has its own serious problems!"
Yang Cheng was on the sidelines, watching his beloved apprentice go back again and again in vain, and his heart was uncomfortable, at least he knew clearly what the problem was, maybe Paul? Bento himself knows it, it's just that he hasn't found the right solution and there may not be the right person.
In Portugal's entire tactical system. The forward line is strong enough, the midfield is strong enough, and the back line is not much of a problem. The biggest problem is that the midfield is far forward, that is, the traditional forward area, and there is a lack of an assist who can pass the ball creatively.
Many people say that Xiao Xiaoluo looks selfish in the national team, but this is relative, and even to a certain extent, his selfishness is forced out by the team and himself.
This kid's personality Yang Cheng knows that playing in an environment like Portugal where the ball is problematic, he has to come back to catch the ball himself and wait for his teammates to pass the ball. Then you have to advance with the ball yourself, and the whole process is done by yourself, so you don't care about the last shot, not to mention that his role in Portugal's tactical system is to be a finisher.
Any prolific shooter, or a great scorer, has to have a group of teammates behind him to provide him with tremendous support. Give him a steady stream of opportunities so that he has the opportunity to score goals, to play his attacking talents, and if he has to do everything himself, no one can become the World Footballer of the Year.
Therefore, in this game, Yang Cheng choked Portugal's seven inches from the beginning, and the whole game was unceremoniously grabbed the seven inches from the beginning, without relaxation, which directly created the two goals of the German team, and at the same time completely suppressed Portugal throughout the game.
It's a game to be a scorer, and it would have been even more perfect if we had scored more goals.
After 75 minutes, Yang Cheng made two substitutions, one with Tony? Kloss replaced Schweinsteiger and Kyle with Bad Stubert once, and both substitutions were clearly in the rotation.
"It can be seen that Yang Cheng is already in control of this game!"
In fact, Portugal is indeed unlikely to pose much of a threat to the German team anymore, at least from the fact that the German team scored again, we can see that Portugal has gradually lost the last fighting spirit, Paul? Bento wasn't even ready to make any further substitutions. ”
When the game reached the 80th minute, Yang Cheng made another substitution, replacing Ozil on the right with the veteran Deisler, which was also Deisler's first appearance in this European Cup, and he passed a very high-level cross on the right side as soon as he came on the field, but Gomez's header was saved by Patricio.
Sler once again took a corner kick of a very high standard, but it was a pity that Hummels headed it a little higher this time.
Both passes showed Deisler's deep passing skills, and he also won the applause and cheers of all the German teams in the field, because for a long time, Deisler was one of the most admired players in German football.
Three substitutions, two training youngsters, and one meeting veterans, Yang Cheng defeated Paul tactically? Bento, the German team also beat the Portuguese in the game, it was an all-round victory.
"This victory gave Germany three points and jumped from the bottom of the group to the second place in the group, while Portugal and France each took one point, and the situation of the German team to qualify from the group has become clear, as long as they win the French team in the last round, then they can qualify from the group."
"In this game, Portugal's performance was indeed a bit disappointing, because apart from the flashes of Ronaldo's own strength on several occasions, this team was not too impressive, but the German team, against Gomez and Jérôme, who were not performing well? Boateng, both showed convincing quality in the second match. ”
"The overall performance of the German team today is also better than the first game against Spain, the attack and defense are also relaxed, and they have always controlled the game steadily, which is very reassuring to them, without the worry of worrying about the defense being counterattacked anytime and anywhere, Yang Cheng's team's performance in this game is convincing."
"If the German team is just relying on this game, the strength of the German team is indeed a sign of their championship, but if the German team wants to go far in this European Championship, it will undoubtedly require them to maintain this form for a longer time, only in this way can they rekindle the flame of hope of winning the European Championship again!" rq
