A classic case of the 975 counterattack
If the two teams at least had Spain actively pressing and attacking in the first ten minutes before the first goal of the game, then in the following games, Spain did not seem to invest much in attack.
This makes this European Cup final look dull, because both sides are clearly going to play a stalemate, there is no kind of hearty attack, it looks a bit like fighting the landlord, the audience wants the three players to go back and forth quickly to play cards, but who would have thought that they are all consuming time, and even after the time has passed, they will not play cards.
It's really making people wait until the flowers are gone!
"Mommy, why hasn't Dad's team scored yet?"
In the stands at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv, the most impatient Jan grabbed Melissa? Trio's hand asked with concern, what is a child, as soon as he saw that his father was lagging behind, he began to wait anxiously for the German team's goal, but he didn't wait left and right, and he was anxious.
Melissa smiled lovingly and stroked Young's hair, looking at Charlize who was sitting next to her with a big belly? Theron, the latter is also smiling, while Charles is on the half-leaning and half-reclining seat of the Golden Knife, looking cool as an old god.
"Wait, he must have his own ideas, he will score!" Melissa comforted her son.
But in the end, her psychology is not bottom, because the opponent is Spain.
"Our coach told us that the really powerful martial arts is not to play a set of fists and embroidered legs all day long to confuse the opponent, but to wait patiently for the opportunity to knock down the opponent with one blow, he said, this is called one hit!" Charles spoke from the side.
"Your coach? Who is it? Jan asked curiously.
"You should also know, Wing Chun, Ip Man!" This kid also put on a Wing Chun stance.
This immediately amused Charlize? Theron and Melissa both laughed vigorously, and they really planned to ask, when did Ip Man say this?
But it's true. The stalemate was so torturous that it could be felt from the stands, and many fans couldn't sit still, after all, since Spain scored their first goal. The game began to slow down, losing the thrill of attacking football that it should have been.
But everyone was still watching the game intently, hoping that when the 20 minutes went in, the situation would change, but who would have thought that after the 20 minutes. The situation still hasn't changed, so what about entering 30 minutes?
It's still the same, and it looks like both sides are ready to spend so much!
In the first 30 minutes, Germany had just two shots on goal, both from distance, none on target, and Spain had just five shots on goal, one on target. It was the time the goal was scored, and the others were long-range shots and misses, which can be seen from that. How deadlocked and stuffy the situation is in this game.
'It looks like both sides are patiently waiting for their chances, with Germany defending more and more solid, and Spain investing less in attacking force, which means they haven't continued to create a threat like they did at the beginning, so it looks a bit dull on the pitch, but the battle of wits between the two managers on the pitch is still very intense.
"It's not just a tactical one, it's also a psychological one, and the Germans are falling behind. But their strength itself is at a disadvantage, how Yang Cheng will adjust, how to equalize, this is a key point that everyone is looking forward to. ”
"But Spain themselves are one goal ahead, and the lead is not very clear, at least at this stage. Their lead is so tight that if they can get one more goal, it will be a real game, but Bosque looks set to continue to hold a 1-0 lead. ”…,
"This is also in line with Bosque's previous tactical characteristics, many games are defeated by a narrow 1:0 lead, and now they are not guaranteed to continue to use this routine, but they are now dealing with Yang Cheng's German team, in the first game of the European Championship group stage, they were almost attacked by the German team, I believe this Bosque and his players must also be aware of this, so the 1:0 score is actually very dangerous."
Just as the on-site commentator was speaking, Yang Cheng made an inconspicuous gesture towards the players in the stadium, and then about 2 minutes later, the situation on the court changed somewhat.
When Alba advanced with the ball, Schweinsteiger, who was supposed to be killed, did not appear where he should have been, which led to Alba seeing an opportunity after dribbling the ball and killing directly to Jérôme? Boateng, the two battled on the wing, but Spain's back-cut players did not follow, which directly led to Alba's cross being controlled by the German team.
But soon, the ball was once again controlled by Spain, and the German team seemed to consciously guide Spain to the left, that is, Jérôme? Boateng attacked on the right, while Jordi Alba began to play on the left, and Spain's central players began to plug in frequently.
This scene made the Spanish fans in the stands seem to see the hope of scoring again, and they all began to shout very excitedly, calling for the team to continue to take the initiative to press the attack, and it is best to score the German team's goal again, it doesn't matter how much.
Gradually, Spain's offensive picked up again.
…………
…………
"Rafa, you know that our Chinese ancestors said a word, and I think it makes very, very sense."
Yang Cheng also smiled happily when he saw Spain rediscover his passion for attacking, because he liked to see Spain attack, and he was convinced that Spanish players also liked to attack in their bones, because they were all players cultivated by Yang Cheng.
"If you want to take it, you must first take it! That is to say, what you want to get, then you have to pay something first, there is a gain to pay, now against Spain, in fact, it is like this, you have to attack other people's goals, then you have to let people attack your goal, this is certain! ”
Sometimes, Yang Cheng feels that the football field is like a battlefield, it doesn't matter what is above board, it doesn't matter what is deliberately framed, as long as it can achieve strategic goals, it can be used by the head coach.
He wanted Spain to press back and attack, so he deliberately let go of the defense on the right flank. Activating the attack on Alba's side, the left-sided youngster is full of fighting spirits, having just joined Barcelona and is just establishing himself in the national team. He is eager to show his strength on this big stage and make a name for himself.
Letting go of the right side and strengthening the defense of the middle and left flanks, Alba didn't have much to do, and Yang Cheng made this decision when he saw that the team's defense was becoming more and more solid, if it was the beginning of the game, he really didn't have the guts.
Alba was active. There were a few chances, but the middle didn't keep up, and the team-mates were frustrated, so they had to keep up with Alba's progress, so that one by one, as long as Bosque acquiesced, then Spain would attack again.
Yang Cheng glanced at Bosque. The latter watched the game, but did not say anything to stop the team, and it was obvious that he was also probing. He wanted to see what kind of medicine Yang Cheng was selling in this gourd, and he must have wanted to take the opportunity to score another goal.
All it takes is one more goal and the situation is settled!
Alba's attack on the left created a few chances, but the threat was not great, and the German defence was quickly limited, so Spain began to press forward again in order to maintain the attack and possession, and the attack became more and more aggressive. …,
With 40 minutes going on, the first half was running out towards the end of the period, and Spain wanted to take advantage of the final stretch. Strengthen the attack, it is best to score again, and if not, it can also suppress the fighting spirit and morale of the German team.
But just when everyone thought that the German team was dangerous and Spain was likely to score again, the German team finally played a real counterattack.
…………
…………
Spain fell to the foot in a quick pass. Because the German team continued to strengthen the defense of the Spanish middle, Alba on the left side frequently got opportunities, he pressed on the left side, constantly looking for opportunities, and kept getting the ball.
But this time, when Alba picked up the ball on the left side close to the touchline, it was not just Jérôme? Boateng took the position and blocked in front of him, and Schweinsteiger next to him also stuck in front of him for the first time, and the two stuck in front of him, blocking his route to the middle and front.
As soon as the two were together, Alba hurriedly passed the ball to David, who came over to answer? Silva, but Sven, who was prepared? Bender suddenly grabbed an up, grabbed in David? Silva had the ball intercepted before.
As soon as the midfielder intercepted the ball, he happened to be directly facing the direction of Spain, and after seeing him intercept the ball, he took two steps forward, no more, no less exactly two steps, and then passed the ball directly to the left side of the Spanish defense with a big foot.
Why two steps?
Actually, it doesn't matter how many paces, but the time, preferably 2-3 seconds!
The effect of these 3 seconds is obvious, that is, to the trident in front of the German team, taking advantage of the opponent's offensive and defensive transition adjustment, quickly paste into the opponent's defense, because at this time the Spanish attack is frustrated and is preparing to turn into defense, which is a bit similar to driving forward car to stop and reverse sharply, then it must be stopped first before it can be put into reversing gear.
And taking advantage of these 3 seconds, Klose, Thomas? Both Muller and Ozil were posted for the first time, especially Ozil, who had already caught the empty loopholes on Alba's side and was preparing, Sven? As soon as Bender broke the ball, he ran towards the area.
The next thing is simple, directly facing Sven in the goal? Bender made a big kick and passed the ball to the left side of the Spanish defence, and Ozil successfully countered offside at the first time, sprinted quickly on the right side, and finally stopped the ball on the right side of the Spanish penalty area.
At this point, Pique had no choice, and when Alba couldn't get back in place, he chose to block the left touchline of the penalty area, ready to block Ozil's route.
Klose rushed forward quickly for the first time, although he was a lot older, but the head-on impact, the speed was not slow, he was always stared at by Ramos and others, but he inserted it into the small penalty area one by one, looking like he was going to receive Ozil's cross.
This move also made Ramos and Arbeloa desperately block Klose and the goal in the middle, not giving Klose a chance to face the goal directly, but who would have thought that while the cunning German striker hit them with his body, he also secretly pushed the two of them, tilting their center of gravity towards the goal, but this one was not strong.
But he himself suddenly made a sudden stop, turned back and retreated in the direction of the penalty, and Ozil's pass also crossed most of the penalty area. Harvey, who crossed the chase? In front of Alonso and De La Red, the pass was at the feet of Klose near the penalty spot.
The German striker met Mesut Ozil's oncoming ball and came to a steady stop, and he could feel Arbeloa and Ramos waiting for an opportunity to make a tackle behind him. Both of them were blocked behind Klose, preventing him from turning around easily.
The whole process happened in an instant, before Spain could be said to have the advantage, but the German team's sudden counterattack directly tore through the Spanish defense and entered the penalty area, which made the Spanish internationals very nervous one by one. The instinctive first reaction was to prevent Klose from scoring. …,
But after the German striker stopped the ball, he took a step back, passed the ball horizontally to the left side, and passed diagonally to the left side behind Arbeloa and Ramos. Muller didn't hold back his pace this time and rushed straight ahead of Arbeloa and Ramos. Push the ball to the incoming one.
By the time Arbeloa and Ramos realized the danger, it was too late and the only way to stop Thomas? Muller's is Casillas. The Spanish goalkeeper also took the spot, but Thomas? Muller's shot was calm, the angle he faced was too big, too wide, and Casillas made a save, but the ball was out of his reach and into the back of the net.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
The on-site narrator was almost clapping the table and shouting, and Thomas was seen on the TV screen? Muller excitedly burst out of the penalty area, forgetting to raise his arms and rushing to the corner flagstick. The whole person knelt on the corner flagpole, opened his mouth wide, and looked at the fans in the stands in disbelief.
The fans in the stands of the Olympic Stadium were stunned for two or three seconds, and then a very enthusiastic cheer broke out from the audience, and even Avril and Natalie, who were sitting in the stands, rushed out of their seats excitedly and cheered loudly for Yang Cheng's team.
"It's unexpected. Two goals in a row in this game are so surprising! ”
"A counter-attack by the German team, tearing apart the Spanish defence, very solid, Ozil successfully countered offside on the right side, and then planned this attack on the edge of the box, he passed to Klose, who used his body to suppress Arbeloa and Ramos, and also attracted the attention of the defence, for Thomas on the left? Muller's plug-in created opportunities. ”
"The whole process of the German team's advance is fast, sharp, and fully prepared for the changes of the opponent, and I even have a feeling that Yang Cheng has been executing his counterattack plan since the German team took the initiative to expose the defensive holes on the right side, let Schweinsteiger get close to the middle, and lure Alba to press the attack."
In the cheers of the German fans, the big TV screen and the live broadcast screen are replaying the whole process of the goal just now, but what is interesting is that this time the replay is not focused on the goal and the advancement part, and even includes Schweinsteiger and Jérôme? Boateng's flanking blow to Alba.
Obviously, this is because the director himself feels that this pinch attack is very important to the German team's counterattack.
"We can see that after the flanking attack, the German team has long been ready to let Alba pass David? Silva, Sven? Bender has been following the defense, Ozil is also defending behind Alba, no matter which angle Alba passes, there is a risk of being cut off, and after the break, the German team does not seem to launch a counterattack at the first time, Sven? Bender dribbles forward with the ball himself! ”
"It's an interesting place, Sven? This period of time when Bender was dribbling forward, Thomas? Muller, Klose and Mesut Ozil all moved quickly to the vital position, and then the Germans played on the left side of Spain, and Ozil quickly cut in to form an offside position and successfully broke through the Spanish defence. ”
"Judging from the whole process, the German team's counterattack was premeditated, arranged, and the timing was very well controlled, as if it had been carefully calculated, and even we had a feeling that Yang Cheng was almost pinching the characteristics of the Spanish players to arrange and arrange this counterattack."
Then we also saw that Ozil did not cross, and Klose did not fight for the top in front, but chose to cooperate, Ozil passed to Klose, who used his body to suppress the two Spanish defenders, attracted attention, and passed to Thomas on the left who was unmarked? Muller! ”…,
When it came to this, the on-site commentator used four perfections in a row to describe this counterattack.
"This is almost a textbook counterattack, I can't use more words to represent my praise for the German team's counterattack than to describe it perfectly, and I can almost say with absolute certainty that this is not a player's on-the-spot performance, but a premeditated arrangement and arrangement by Yang Cheng!"
"Oh my God, I don't know how to say it, but I'm very, very, very, very excited, this counterattack almost made Spain unable to resist, almost every step and detail, it was played against Spain's disadvantage, and finally scored, this is a textbook-like classic counterattack that should be recorded in football history!"
After the German team used a sudden counterattack to equalize, the German players looked excited, but the Spanish players looked disappointed, which is also the comparison between Yang Cheng and Bosque, the expressions of the two famous coaches seemed to be reversed from the first goal, which was extremely interesting.
But soon, Yang Cheng reminded the players to continue to maintain their rhythm and pace, and not to boldly advance because of the goal, and lose the good situation in hand.
The equalizer was equalized and the morale of the German team was finally back! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
