952 Yang Cheng's back hand
For a long time, in the face of Spain, Yang Cheng was most worried about a situation not to be pressed by Spain, but to lose the ball first!
Playing against a team like Spain is similar to playing against Real Madrid, conceding first is a very scary, very passive ending.
Because, once you concede the goal first, if you want to equalise or even reverse, then you have to adopt a more proactive attacking tactic, and for Germany, the instability at the back will be exposed in attack, which may allow Spain to take advantage of their chances and score more goals.
Real Madrid played so many big scores, it was because the opponent was not convinced and wanted to attack when he was behind!
Well, if you don't take the initiative to attack, then how do you break down the Spanish defense?
This Spain team is really strong, very strong, Yang Cheng knew from the beginning that once he conceded the ball first, it could almost be said that he would lose more than half of this game, and he didn't expect that when he started so well, before the end of the first half, there would suddenly be a mistake.
slapped his forehead hard, even in the crowded Lviv stadium, Yang Cheng himself could hear the snap, and the hard work and efforts of him and the players in 45 minutes were completely in vain.
"What now?" Paul? Bayer didn't have any ideas.
The German team is not as strong as Spain, and now it is behind, it is really difficult to equalize and reverse, and the main striker Klose is also injured on the field, which undoubtedly makes the prospects of the German team worse.
Without Klose, there is no moving fulcrum in the frontcourt, Gomez is good, but at the tactical level, the role is not as obvious as Klose, the latter's style of play is now more and more demonic, unconvincing, in this regard, Gomez is still much worse. More experience and awareness are needed.
"Stabilize the situation first!" Yang Cheng said resolutely.
He can expect that an attacking team like Spain will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to score goals and press it in one go. If the German team loses a goal and affects their morale, or if the players are in a trance, it will not be a goal, but more balls.
So Yang Cheng quickly cleaned up his mood and walked to the sidelines to remind the players to pay attention, and at the same time let Jérôme? Boateng don't care too much about conceding a goal. Let Mertesacker not take the conceded ball to heart, and let Keldo look at these two teammates.
Now is not the time to hold accountable, the game is still going on, and if it is held accountable now, isn't it about infighting in the German team? How will this game be played then?
Not to mention now, even if it is after the game, Yang Cheng will not be held responsible, on the contrary. He has to take the initiative to take all the responsibilities and avoid the players being under too much pressure, otherwise the game will not have to be played.
Think about it sometimes. It's really hard to be a head coach...... At half-time, Yang Cheng received a piece of good news, Walfaert said that Klose's injury is not serious, and he should be able to recover quickly after resting, but he doesn't know if he can make it in time for the game against Portugal.
In the locker room at halftime, Yang Cheng first praised the team's performance, believing that the team played the tactical style they wanted well in the first half, and weakened Spain's passing and threat very well. However, he also pointed out the team's shortcomings, especially in the final goal, and wasted a lot of chances.
During the whole process, he never mentioned conceding the goal, and he kept saying that the team must have a chance to take the initiative again.
Interestingly. In the 15 minutes of the break, the managers of both teams did not make any substitutions or adjustments, and they still maintained the same set of tactical play, but did not continue the situation of the first half. …,
However, Spain's advantages in ball control and technology are still obvious, the German team is relatively passive on the field, and Yang Cheng did not ask the team to attack, so the field has become a little stalemate.
"It seems that we can only wait now!" Yang Cheng looked at Bosk, the old fox, who was not risky at all, and he didn't have a problem in his heart.
To be honest, Bosque is the kind of cautious manager, which can be seen from the fact that he only wins one goal against the opponent in many games, he belongs to the cautious type, so he has finally taken the lead now, and naturally he is unwilling to easily expose his flaws, and then be caught and used by Yang Cheng.
Bosque is not as good as Yang Cheng in terms of game sense, so all he can do is minimize loopholes and mistakes.
Benitez sighed deeply, all the German team can do now is wait, passively wait.
There's no way around it, if you pull it out and play against Spain, it's purely looking for death, the opponent has a ball in hand, and he wants you to go out and fight him, and as soon as you go out, you fall into his trap, so now the German team has to wait.
Spain's players are mainly Real Madrid players, and Real Madrid's players have played so many games in the past season, including La Liga, Champions League, Copa del Rey and Club World Cup, plus the Spanish Super Cup and European Super Cup games before the season.
Although many of them said that Spain's style of play determined that their physical consumption was not very serious, but in the first half of this game, they were dragged by the German team for such a fierce and fast offensive battle, and the physical consumption of this Spanish team must be not small, so Yang Cheng has to wait until their physical fitness is a little unable to keep up, and then make a fuss.
Physical fitness, the German team has undergone high-intensity physical reserve training, although the current state has not yet fully come out, but it will definitely last longer than Spain, Yang Cheng has enough confidence in this, at least he can use his physical fitness to drag them down.
The only suspense is whether the German team can wait until Spain's fitness can't keep up.
So after the start of the second half, when Spain attacked hard and the German team was a little embarrassed, Yang Cheng replaced Podolski with Khedira, and let Ozil play as a right winger and play a three-back tactic.
The back three has a greater range of protection for the defence, especially when the team is shrinking the defence, and it is more difficult for Spain to effectively send the ball into the German penalty area, although they have the initiative. But they never found a way to break the German team again.
This is also determined by the tactics of Spain, David? Silva, Juan Mata and Andres Iniesta are all the kind of players who are quick and fast, and Bosque is destined to use ground penetration and advance to complete the attack. Because no one can catch the ball at all, do you still expect these three players who are about 1.7 meters tall to grab a header above the heads of the German players who are more than 1.8 meters and more than 1.9 meters?
And once you play the ground penetration, then you can only go inside and push in the middle, so the German team's contraction defense can effectively limit the space, plus the back three are in front. The defense suddenly became solid.
It's just that, in this way, the scene is naturally not as good-looking as after the opening, so hearty...... Shit, didn't this bastard say he looked down on the defense? I didn't expect him to have today! ”
In the west stand of the Lviv Stadium, Mourinho sat in one of the positions, and he looked gloating when he saw Yang Cheng also put on a three-back tactic. Because he feels that this seems to be his patent, Yang Cheng, who has always advertised himself as a representative of offensive football, should not use such a tactical style of play.
"Please, why are you sour like this?" Ferguson shook his head and smiled. "Where did he say he looked down on the defense? Don't put the media's exaggerated words on his head, if you want to spread this, everyone will say that you are jealous! ”…,
"I'm jealous of him?" Mourinho was immediately upset, "Fart! ”
When Wenger saw Mourinho's expression, he immediately shook his head with joy, feeling that the Portuguese man's death hole was Yang Cheng.
It's no wonder that whoever touches Europa and England has a headache, but there is no way to take Yang Cheng. Originally, there was still a bit of revenge, but now that people have switched to the national team, even if Mourinho plays well in club competitions, everyone will only say that he is Yang Cheng's defeated player, and he is firmly seated in this title.
"The start was really impressive, and he was much more proactive on the counter-attack than yours. I think he's already found the style of the German team! Ferguson said admirably.
A quick and proactive defensive counterattack, which can fully reduce the risk caused by the German team's hidden worries at the backline, and can give full play to the advantages of the German team's offensive coordination, coupled with the frontcourt pressing that he has always advertised, as long as it is sharpened, the strength of this German team will be greatly improved.
"Didn't you suffer the loss of this tactic back then?" Mourinho said sarcastically.
Ferguson encountered Real Madrid with Bosque in 2000, when Real Madrid's 5-back tactics were actually this kind of active defensive counterattack tactics, when Manchester United drew 0:0 with Real Madrid away, but then lost a 2:3 at home, which directly led to Real Madrid being eliminated from the Champions League and losing the opportunity to challenge the Champions League.
Ferguson has always been haunted by this matter, Mourinho doesn't say it, he will choose to press it down, but now that the scar is revealed, he immediately becomes angry, his face is red, and he looks like a thunderbolt.
"When you were in Barcelona, when did you meet Real Madrid, didn't you fall under Real Madrid's tactics? Haven't you ever suffered from him? Ferguson counter-attacked, and it was widely accepted that Real Madrid's tactics were a counter-attack to Barcelona's traditional tactics.
"Oh, yes, I remember, no wonder, you weren't on the coaching staff back then!"
Ferguson's words also made Mourinho unhappy, he has always told people that he is from the Barcelona coaching staff, but in fact he is a translator, but he has always said that the translator also belongs to the coaching staff, and now Ferguson said this, it is clear that he is personally attacking, this old guy is really impatient.
Seeing Mourinho's round eyes, Ferguson didn't give an inch, and in the end, both of them snorted coldly, turned their heads, and simply didn't look at him, saving trouble.
Wenger couldn't stop laughing when he saw these two rivals like little children.
"I always feel that now he seems to be ready to play a defensive counterattack, he should be waiting!" In the end, he is also a famous handsome, Wenger quickly saw Yang Cheng's intentions, "But what else does he have?" ”
When it comes to football, Ferguson and Mourinho are in good spirits again.
"This guy can't fight like this without a backhand!" Mourinho looked very determined.
At least with what he knew about Yang Cheng, if he didn't have a backhand, maybe he would gamble with Bosque now, but he wasn't too sure in his heart. Because it is now the group stage, the goal difference is very important, so if Yang Cheng strives to lose 0:1, it is not impossible.
'He has one more substitution. There are three more times in Bosque's hands, and the situation is no less optimistic! Ferguson shook his head.
In this game, in fact, the most unlucky part of the German team was Klose's downfall, which not only made the German team lose the main striker and wasted a substitution, but also disrupted the momentum that the German team had built up all the way from the beginning.
If Klose hadn't been injured, the whole situation would have continued. Maybe the Spanish attack won't go in.
But it's too late to say anything now, now the situation is behind, the score is also behind, Yang Cheng's situation looks bad, the only thing that can change the situation of the game is the one substitution he has at hand, but don't forget, Bosque has three more substitutions. …,
The three men in the stands were clearly worried about Yang Cheng's situation, as the German team hardly had any advantage at the moment. If you want to reverse the situation, the difficulty is really not something that ordinary people can do, unless Yang Cheng still has some backhand.
But even if it really has a backhand. It's almost coming out, because it's already 65 minutes into the game, and if you don't have to, it's going to be too late...... Isn't it time to go? "Paul? Bayer also felt that he should be on it.
It actually takes a little bit of time for a substitution in a soccer game to work, because football is different from basketball, the latter scores a lot of goals, but soccer tends to be difficult to score, so you have to set aside a little time.
Those substitutions who turned the tide as soon as they came on the pitch and helped the team score goals. Luck accounts for a large part of the reason.
"Wait!" Yang Cheng also looked dignified, he knew better than anyone else when to change people, but now was not the time, because from just now Tim? Hank's stats, and what he saw from the scene. Spain still have gas and Bosque has three more substitutions in his hands.
Time gradually passed, and the fans in the stands began to sit still, especially the fans of the German team, who began to shout the names of the players and Yang Cheng, hoping that they could do something to change the situation.
When the clock ticked for the 68th minute, Spain made their first substitution, bringing on Fernando Torres for Mata.
The latter, who had been entangled with the German backline throughout the game, looked a little tired, ran significantly less and played less, and replaced Torres with an obvious need to strengthen the attack.
"There should be another change!" After Yang Cheng saw Torres playing, he decided to continue waiting.
Torres is a player who is on the field at this time, definitely not to play ground coordination, Bosque is obviously also worried about Yang Cheng's backhand, so he wants to further expand the score, so he replaced Torres, but in this way, he has to have someone to make a fuss on the wing, and whether it is David? Silva or Iniesta, it's obviously not good.
Sure enough, as if he was pinched by Yang Cheng, Bosque came on the field for 2 minutes after Torres came on, Navas came on the field to replace Iniesta, and Sevilla's wide attackers had a clear purpose of playing the ball, starting from the side and continuing to put more pressure on the German team's defense.
Frankly speaking, Bosque's substitution is very powerful, and he is decisive and clear, but unfortunately, Yang Cheng is waiting for him to replace.
In the third minute after Keylor Navas came on, although the Spanish winger immediately had a chance to break down the flank, Lahm was firmly stuck in position and broke the ball, and Germany took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to replace Ozil with Bad Stuber and let Lahm play the right attacker.
This is almost a targeted move to pinch the Spanish team's substitutions, originally Deisler had already warmed up, but Yang Cheng saw that after Bosque replaced Navas, he chose Bad Stuber, obviously to prevent Navas and further strengthen the stability of the backline, and Lahm can also create killing opportunities on the side, especially on the right side, he is a right-footed general.
Nowadays, Spain's physical fitness has dropped a lot, and the coordination of passing and receiving the ball is obviously not as smooth as before, and the speed is not as fast as before, and the German team immediately launched the final round of counterattack as soon as the German team made a substitution, and the time was exactly 76 minutes.
The Germans fought back, first after being cut off by Khedira in midfield, and then passed to Lahm
After winning the ball on the right, Lahm immediately dribbled along the flank at high speed, played a counter-attack, drew the attention of the defence, and passed the ball to Gomes, who fired a shot that went just wide.
But this attack also made people break out in a cold sweat.
On the contrary, Spain wanted to play an offensive on the right side after the substitution, but after Bad Stuber came on the field, he always maintained the connection with Kele, coupled with the back three midfielders, the defense was solid, Navas never got a good chance to play the ball on this side, and Torres's role in the middle was seriously weakened. …,
Defend one side, attack one side, defend steadily, and attack resolutely!
After Yang Cheng substitution, it can almost be said that he is going to fight, the right side of the German team, Jerome? Boateng and Lahm formed a attacking combination on the right, frequently launching fierce attacks on the Spanish left, and several counter-attacks began to threaten.
When the game reached the 81st minute, the German team formed an attack on the right side again, pressing the left side of the Spanish team, but Lahm failed to form a breakthrough in the face of Arbeloa, and could only knock the ball back to Jérôme? Boateng.
The team's goal-losing culprit has been holding his stomach to clear his name, and as soon as he got the ball, he immediately noticed that the Spanish defense was heavily left-leaning, exposing the gap on the right. Muller was always on that side, so he just kicked the ball to the right side of the Spanish defence.
Thomas? Muller stopped after winning the ball and dribbled diagonally into the box. Torres and Ramos both pounced for the first time, and Casillas also stood to the left for the first time, trying to block Thomas? Muller's shot angle.
But just see Thomas? Muller was very calm, and as soon as he entered the penalty area, he suddenly made a sudden stop, pulled out the space, flicked the ball horizontally, and the ball was passed horizontally to Gomez, who ran out of space and had no one to defend.
At this time, Gomez was facing most of the goal that was no longer defended, almost the same as facing an empty goal! (To be continued) RQ
