Chapter 195: An Unpredictable Collapse
"What the hell were you doing!? We're not here to play today! ”
Ballack roared angrily at Schweinsteiger, just now Belgium broke the ball again to counterattack, and it was Schweinsteiger who lost the goal.
In this game, Schweinsteiger was the offensive core of the German team, but seven or eight minutes into the game, the piggy didn't even have an effective pass, and put all his attention on competing with Fellaini, and as a result, he challenged three times in a row and failed three times in a row, which made Ballack unable to bear it.
"Forget all the nonsense in your head, we're not here today to see you duel with that exploding head, we're going to win, I said it would be a disaster if the Germans fell in front of the Belgians!"
The Germans looked down on the Belgians from the bottom of their hearts, whether it was World War I, World War II, or after the end of the Great War, in the eyes of the Germans, the Belgians were a group of hypocrites who were accustomed to comfort, they didn't know how to fight, and they never understood what iron and blood were, but now the German team was suppressed by Belgium on the field, which was absolutely unacceptable to Ballack.
Schweinsteiger's head was a little dazed, and he knew that he was indeed a bastard just now, but he didn't know why, as long as he saw Fellaini's mocking smile, he couldn't help it, and an urge to kick the football in Fellaini's face slammed into his heart.
"We don't have time to play, if you can't take on the task given to you by the team, just get out of here, German football doesn't need you bastard!"
Now Schweinsteiger was completely sober, he had just finished the ban, he didn't want to spend his European Cup on the bench, took a deep breath, and calmed down his swollen brain: "I'm sorry! Captain! I think I know what to do! ”
Schweinsteiger forced himself to regain his composure, but someone didn't agree, Fellaini came on the field with a task, so as soon as the piggy got the ball, he would come over immediately, and constantly disturb Schweinsteiger with small movements, and verbal attacks were of course indispensable.
But this exploding head is so bad, too deceptive, he remembered what Degan had told him before the game, smiled, with a smile on his face, even though his words were more vicious than the old witch in the fairy tale, but the smile on his face did not change at all, and the referee who watched it even wanted to give him a gold medal for avoiding death.
On the other hand, the grumpy Schweinsteiger, who kept complaining and roaring, has become the focus of the referee's attention.
Schweinsteiger was entangled by Fellaini, and the German team's offensive power was immediately reduced by half, without Schweinsteiger's tandem and passing, the German team could only attack through Podolski's side, but Prince Porti also had to face the focus of Bayern's teammate Van Bitten, and it was difficult to play as freely as in the group stage.
Lacking enough support, Klose, who had high hopes for Loew in this game, could only play alone more often, but he was not the type who was good at attacking with the ball, without wide crosses, without penetrating through balls, his characteristics could not be brought into play at all, and he could only run back and forth in vain.
The German team's attack could not open the situation, but in contrast, Belgium's attack was booming, which was estimated to be unthinkable before the game.
According to most people's thoughts, although Belgium with Digan has the strength to fight and may be able to score in the game, it should be the stronger German tank that wins in the end.
But now in this situation, the German team is in danger of being blown up!
Just like Schweinsteiger's role in the German team, Degan is the offensive core of the Belgian team, and all offensive initiations must revolve around him, and Degan is obviously much smarter than Schweinsteiger, and more capable, under the tandem of Degan, Dembele, Bolaite also launched attacks towards the German team's penalty area, and Gul, Naeng and Fellaini in the back are even inserted into long-range shots.
Lehmann became the busiest man in the German team, and the shirts of the other German players were still clean, but Lehmann was already covered in grass clippings.
Everyone can see that a goal, just a goal, can become a lethal weapon to crush the German tank.
Loew crouched on the sidelines, frowning, his fingernails were about to gnaw off him, and those who knew him well knew that this was Loew's nervousness, and the atmosphere on the court was almost solidified, making his heart explode.
Think of a way! Think of a way!
Loew's heart was like beating a drum, but what to do, he didn't have a clue now, and the players who were sent to the field were already the strongest lineup that the German team could come up with.
Loew also knew that he should focus on defending Deegan and limit his play, and he also formulated tactics before the game, but now it seems that it is obviously impossible to restrain Deegan with one person.
However, if the defense against Digan is implemented, the rest of the Belgian attacking players will be able to gain more space, and Antienes is very smart and does not have reservations in the formation because the opponent is Germany, but invests enough attacking troops on the field, which makes Loew very uncomfortable.
Loew was nervous, Antienes was nervous, his heart was in his throat with every shot from Belgium, and he needed a goal now, a goal that would give him peace of mind.
Beep~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With a sharp whistle, the referee quickly ran to the place of the incident, separating the players from both sides, and when Digan was dribbling the ball just now, he was brought down from behind by Friedrich, this foul is not an exaggeration.
But at this moment, the game has only started for less than 20 minutes, and if one person is sent off, he is afraid that the game will lose suspense, and after a moment's hesitation, the referee still only gave Friedrich a yellow card.
"Yellow card!? My God! Friedrich's foul just now was enough to put him in jail, the referee's courage was still too small, he didn't have the courage to let the German team have one less person at the beginning of the game, and now I'm more worried about Degan, judging from slow motion, just now Friedrich kicked Deegan directly in the left leg! ”
Degan was fine, as he fell backwards the moment Friedrich kicked him in the left leg, relieving some of the impact, otherwise he would have had to recuperate again.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with a yellow card, Deegan did not complain, he wanted to make a good impression on the referee, so in the next game, the referee would relax some of Belgium's standards because of guilt, and this deal was not a loss.
The place of the foul was exactly in the direction of the 45-degree angle on the left side of the German goal, which was not very far away, and it was exactly within the range of Digan's attack.
Degan stood in front of the ball, he also had Naeng England and Dembele beside him, the Germans were on guard, Degan's free kick skills were known to everyone, and if he was not careful, he would be blown up by Degan's long-range guidance.
The referee's whistle blew, Degan moved, the German's spirit immediately tensed up, watching every movement of Degan, Lehmann was also moving towards the near corner of the goal, he had studied Degan's free kicks before the game, generally speaking, the free kicks in that position were large arc free kicks directly into the near corner of the goal.
Deegan swings his leg and is ready to shoot!
The human wall of the German team jumped together under the command of Ballack, but when they jumped, they were surprised to find that Digan did not shoot, his foot just slid over the surface of the football, and then stopped abruptly, stepping on the football lightly, Dembele stopped the ball again, and then Naeng, who had been standing still, suddenly ran two steps, shot at the goal, and kicked the ball out.
Naeng hit the bottom of the ball head-on, and the ball slid through a huge arc and went straight into the far corner of the goal under the desperate gaze of the German players, especially Lehmann, who had already moved to the near corner!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!”
The Belgian narrator sprang to his feet, waving his arms and roaring loudly, ignoring the resentful gaze of his German counterpart beside him.
"The ball is in! Na England! It turned out to be Na England! It was his second goal at this tournament and I bet the kid will definitely make a name for himself after this tournament! ”
After the goal, Naeng England was also very excited, kneeling on the ground, raising his arms high, and roaring loudly, Degan directly pounced and pressed him down, and other teammates also ran over and played on the court.
This free-kick tactic is completely designed by Degan, when he sees Lehmann always moving towards the near post intentionally or unintentionally, he knows that the opponent has been prepared, he is used to playing the near corner of the goal in this position, but Naeng England is the opposite, so before the penalty kick, he took Na England over and whispered a few words.
Naeng was surprised, but the task assigned by Degan, he had to carry out, and he had to complete it, fortunately he succeeded, Deegan deceived Lyman, and then handed him a big empty goal, and he was punished.
Looking at the Belgian team that was hugging and celebrating wildly, it is estimated that no one will say anything about national contradictions now.
On the sidelines, Antienes also hugged his assistant François excitedly, and the other Belgian substitutes rushed to the sidelines, celebrating excitedly.
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! You must know that in the past, whether in the club or the national team, Deegan was the undisputed chief penalty taker, but this time he gave up the opportunity to Na England, and Na England did not disappoint people, scoring a wonderful free kick! ”
The balance of the game was broken by a free kick from Na England, and when the game restarted, the Germans immediately pressed the attack, this backward situation could not last too long, once there was no way to equalize, wait until the second half, I am afraid that the situation will be more and more unfavorable for the German team.
However, to everyone's surprise, the leading Belgium did not choose to retreat from the defense, they even attacked more fiercely, which is also the tactic that Digan discussed with Antienes before the game, that is, to attack to the end without giving the Germans any respite.
Loew looked at Antienes not far away in surprise, and he vaguely guessed Antienes' thoughts, not only to defeat the German team, but also to completely destroy the German chariot!
Antienes agreed with Dugan's idea because he also knew that the situation would be very unfavorable for Belgium if the German team was allowed to gradually find their form through the energy reserves.
Everyone knows the characteristics of German football, and the disadvantages are also unfavorable, the more it will motivate them, and once they are given a chance to breathe, they will have the ability to pull off any miracle.
So after the game restarted, in the face of the German team's large-scale attack, Belgium decisively launched a full-court tight marking, to summarize it in the words of a famous Chinese coach, that is, to grab one by one! Force! Surround!
Use a wide range of running, at the expense of physical strength, to compress the German team's offensive space, once there is an opportunity, a decisive attack, put all the troops into it, if you lose the ball, immediately start a counter-robbery on the spot, absolutely not let the Germans stop, let them rearrange.
Belgium's mad dog tactics immediately worked wonders, although the Germans had the advantage in body and strength, but the ball control skills were obviously a little inadequate, and in the face of the Belgians' frantic scrambles, their passes began to make mistakes.
Finally, in the 37th minute of the first half, the Belgian's chance came again, as Fellaini cut off Schweinsteiger's pass and headed straight for Degan.
Degan leaned on the defender of Mertesacker, headed the ball to Dembele, and after landing, turned and ran forward, Dembele's pass also arrived at this time, Dugan stuck the position, Metzelder was stopped behind him, and Degan stepped into the box in one step.
Lyman attacked, although he is old, but he is experienced and his strength is still there, but it's a pity that like this kind of single knife ball, Degan's hit rate is high and terrifying.
A volley into the far corner of the goal, Lehmann just waved his hand, grabbed a handful of air, and then could only watch the ball roll into the net.
2:0!
Belgium led Germany by an incredible two goals.
The Belgian fans at the scene were stunned, and it took a long time before they erupted in cheers.
Degan was running with open arms, and it was his first goal in the European Championships, and it was a thrilling feeling.
"Unbelievable! Belgium is unbelievable to lead three-time European Championship winners Germany by two goals! ”
It was unbelievable that Belgium scored two goals in a row, and of course it was even more unbelievable that the Germans could not do anything about Digan's goal.
The Germans were dumbfounded before half-time when they were two goals down, and this situation was indeed completely unexpected.
They guessed that Deegan would pose a certain threat to their defenses, but they didn't expect that this threat would be completely deadly.
Loew clutched his hair in pain, he was trying to figure out what to do, but he still had no clue, the defense had been breached, but to make matters worse, the team's offense was completely lacking.
If Frings could play?
If Frings can play, when Schweinsteiger is hot-headed, he can take over the burden of organizing the attack, but Frings is injured, he can only send Rolfes, who is good at defense, but now it seems that the effect is not at all, Rolfes can not play any role in the attack, a Gul can make him completely dumb, in the defense, he also failed to do his duty, just now lost the ball, that is, he did not respond in time, resulting in Schweinsteiger in a hurry, can only passively pass, As a result, Fellaini was cut off and the Belgian team played a successful counter-attack.
However, in the first half, the German team's blow was not over, and beating the water dogs is now a form of entertainment that every Belgian player likes to see, not to mention the opponent they are chasing today, which will give them a greater sense of accomplishment.
Offensive! Offensive!
With a two-goal lead, the Belgians were not willing to stop, and they were given the task of attacking today, when the referee's whistle blew and when to stop.
When the game reached first-half stoppage time, Belgium once again played a quick counter-attack, running for more than 40 minutes without the slightest tendency to slow down their speed, and the run was still as fast as the wind and the pace was powerful.
"Defend! Stop them! Can't let him get close to goal! ”
Seeing Deegan once again drive straight into the German team's penalty area, Loew on the sidelines finally couldn't help it and roared loudly, he knew very well that once he took a three-goal lead in the first half, his team would really be finished.
It's not often that happens on a night in Istanbul, and Belgium are obviously not Milan and they don't start cheering and celebrating at half-time.
Stopping Degan, who was already rushing with all his might, has so far not been able to do it except for fouls, so when Degan shook off Rohrfes and Mertesacker with two Marseille spins in a row, the German goal was once again exposed in front of him.
There was the slightest hesitation, and he shot directly with his feet, the football grazed the turf and flew towards the far corner of the goal, although Lehmann made a timely save, he did brush the football, but unfortunately failed to change the trajectory of the football.
3:0!
Degan was cheering to celebrate his second European Championship goal, and the German players were at a loss, they had always been extremely mentally strong, and they had already begun to collapse, without warning!
