If you look at this World Cup, the best thing Scolari has done so far is the redivision of the midfield.

In the first game against the United States, Brazil, to a certain extent, did think about becoming an instant hit, making a good start, and creating momentum, but it was definitely not accidental that they were taught a lesson by Klinsmann's American team.

Scolari was very aware of one of Brazil's problems from this game, and that was attack!

Since Scolari took charge of the Brazilian team, since 2002 to establish the offensive tactics with 3R as the core, Brazil's attack is this kind of triangle rapid pass breakthrough formed at the fastest speed, and then form a local advantage in the shortest time, and then rely on the individual's excellent ability to crush the opponent in the local area to attack.

But there is a big problem, that is, in the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup, the 3R of the Brazilian team is Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho, these three players are definitely the strongest individual players in the world at that time, if you put these three players together, you can find three random players in the world to make up for it, who dares to say that they can surpass them? How dare that defensive combination be able to hold them?

Many people say that the success of the World Cup in Brazil, South Korea and Japan is the success of the 3R tactics, and Scolari never denies this!

Through the high arrival rate of the double back to ensure the solidity of the midfield, as soon as possible to transfer the ball to the front, to the 3R, through the advantage formed by the individual strength of the three of them, break through the opponent's defense, create goals, this is the Brazilian team's attack, and there were Cafu and Robert at that time? There is a wide player like Carlos.

It can be said that the success of the World Cup in Brazil, South Korea and Japan is based on the outstanding individual strength of the stars!

After the World Cup, the successor continued to follow suit. Follow Scolari's routine. But they all ignore the fact that the 3R is not replicable and that talented players like Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho cannot be replicated. The offense they have formed is similarly unrepeatable.

This situation was particularly evident in 2010, when all 3Rs left the national team.

There is only one card. The key is that Kaka is not a player of the 3R type, and there are no other teammates around him who can match the 3R in terms of personal ability, so it is destined that this road will not go on.

Dunga also knew that it would not work to continue to adopt similar tactics when his individual ability was not as good as the 3R, and the 06 World Cup in Germany was a lesson, so he adopted another routine, which was to change.

Since my personal strength cannot reach the 3R, I cannot continue to adopt the 3R cooperation method. So Dunga began to shorten the distance of the trio, and from Yang Cheng, he learned some offensive ways to run without the ball, so he launched the attack through more passes.

Such a cooperation may seem like a last resort. But actually. Although the attack is far less sharp than in the 3R period, it is for Brazil, which is generally fine-grained in technology. The distance is shorter, the time for the individual to hold the ball is shorter, the more passes there are, the more variations, and the more difficult it is for the opponent to defend.

One person with the ball, no matter how strong and excellent the individual ability, is not as threatening and varied as the cooperation of two people.

Therefore, the development of football is always in the direction of teamwork, and Dunga's change can be regarded as a kind of advancing with the times!

In Yang Cheng's view, Brazil during the World Cup in South Africa is the most promising Brazilian team in recent years, even since 1998, although this team does not have the genius of Ronaldo and others, but this team has a very good teamwork.

But Brazil's problem is actually really with the manager, Dunga is very good, but he is also very young, a young manager can easily make mistakes, and Dunga made mistakes in key moments, he let his emotions affect the team, he affected the game, and finally hated South Africa.

After that, Gilberto? Silva left the team, and the Brazilian team's midfielder also had a metabolic problem, which was only now solved by Scolari, and in this World Cup, Brazil except for the first game, the remaining games, the three back midfielders performed very well.

This has brought Brazil's offense and defence back to balance.

However, with Kaka out now, Brazil's attack has completely lost its greatest threat.

Having played under Yang Cheng for many years, Kaka has been excellent in running without the ball and assisting and passing after his transformation, which makes him a key part of the Brazilian midfield's attacking organization, without him, Brazil's attack will not be able to play!

Once the offense can't be played, the balance of the midfield will be broken, and the team's defensive problems, which were originally covered up by the balance of the midfield and the coverage of the back in place, have also been completely exposed.

…………

"Brazil's off-ball runs are more in small triangles, no more than 10 metres away from each other, especially after losing Kaka, as long as we put a little pressure on them, they will take the initiative to reduce the distance, and our players have to pay more attention to cutting these triangles when moving from attack to defense."

"Thiago? Silva up for grabs, David? Luiz defended, but right-back Alves was talking to David? Louis's spacing is not very ideal at all times, and there is often a disconnect, as long as Thomas? Muller can take advantage of that, and we can win this game safely! ”

These are the two issues that Yang Cheng repeatedly emphasized to the players in the locker room before the game, when he was making tactical preparations.

One is defensive, the other is offensive, and both points almost pinched the dead hole of the Brazilian team.

In the past few days, Yang Cheng has also been repeatedly practicing targeted tactics, and Ozil and Klose are the key points of Yang Cheng's offensive tactics, especially Klose.

Many people feel very strange that Yang Cheng arranged Klose to start, because the player has just returned from a serious injury and has not recovered very well, and the past two games have been played as a substitute, and everyone feels that the substitute should be the most ideal position for Klose. But I didn't think of it. Yang Cheng arranged Klose to start.

But Klose himself knew very well that Yang Cheng let him play, hoping to end the battle in a first half!

The so-called odd soldiers. In the eyes of the manager, there are many kinds.

Some people say that the odd soldier is to go up in the second half, when the opponent's physical energy is about the same. Take advantage of your physical strength to rush, but have the people who said these words considered that the other party's physical energy consumption is about the same, and your own physical strength is not the same?

So as a strange soldier, you need the support of your teammates around you, so is this strange soldier the starter, and it is more effective when everyone is in good physical condition? Or is it a substitute in the second half, and it will be effective when everyone's physical energy is about the same?

It depends, if it's a team tactical surprise soldier. When you start in the first half, the effect will be a little more obvious, but if it's that kind of individual ability. Ability to break an area by one person. Character Wizards who play a role in certain situations will have a more unexpected effect in the second half.

Klose is that old. is recovering from a serious injury again, and the state is not very ideal, this kind of player must play a role at the tactical level, so Yang Cheng let him start, using the advantage of the opening game, directly suppressed Brazil.

It was also very effective from the start, with Germany dominating the midfield from the start, and Brazil, who lost Kaka, lost the most important link in attack, mainly defending and counter-attacking after the opening.

One attack and one defense, the two teams played a close game from the start, the German team had a very obvious advantage on the field, but it was never able to create an effective absolute killing opportunity to break the Brazilian team's goal, but this team completely controlled the game.

This is also a typical characteristic of the German team, which is the only team that can completely control every game throughout the World Cup in Brazil, even Spain, because controlling the ball does not mean controlling the game.

It is because of this that so many people are optimistic about the German team!

When it comes to football, controlling the game equals winning!

But Yang Cheng is very clear about the knockout round, anything can happen, so he estimated all possible situations from the beginning, and even gave targeted countermeasures, and for the team's attack, Yang Cheng has developed two or three different routines for the loopholes in the Brazilian defense, waiting for the players to make decisions according to the situation of the game.

Others may not know, but Ozil himself knows very well, so far in the game, 26 minutes have passed, the German team has effectively attacked Brazil's 32-meter area 5 times, 4 of which came from his feet, 2 times to Thomas? Muller, looking for Klose twice, the effect is not obvious.

Podolski is more about containing Marcelo on the right side, and Yang Cheng knows better than anyone the strength of the Brazilian left-back, so he continued to choose to use the more defensive Podolski to contain the Brazilian left-back in this game.

Mesut Ozil knew that the German attack looked unthreatening, but in fact it was constantly trying.

There is no way to calculate the goals in the game, they are unattainable, but they can be obtained by constantly trying, if you try, you will have a chance, if you don't try, you will never have a chance.

Mesut Ozil's attempt was to pass, don't underestimate that, because Thomas? Both Muller and Klose are under tight surrounding, and they are actively looking for holes and creating chances against Brazil's defence, but that doesn't mean they can pose a threat once they find them, because they need a pass from Mesut Ozil.

When they find opportunities and loopholes, the ball is passed to the most appropriate place at the right time at the right time, which is definitely a huge test for an assister, and Brazil's back three is also very tightly guarded against Ozil's defense, which makes Ozil take the ball in the open position and then pass, the whole process has no extra time for him to think slowly and adjust.

Under this high-intensity pressure, Ozil's every move must be the most delicate, and the quality of his passing also determines the quality of his team's next action, which in turn affects the quality of the team's attack.

Sometimes, trying is a kind of running-in, a kind of adaptation.

Ozil and Thomas? Muller and Klose are closely surrounded by the Brazilian team's midfield, they are constantly trying to pass and receive the ball back and forth, adapting to the speed of the Brazilian team's defense, the degree of pressing, close defense, etc., they are like a goal machine in the run-in. The slightest deviation is enough to prevent a goal from being generated. But as long as the run-in is in place......

…………

…………

When Brazil launched a counter-attack, as soon as the ball entered the German team's midfield, it was immediately attacked by Sven? Bender breaks the ball down steadily. Without Kaka, Brazil's ball advancement has serious problems, at least in the current Brazilian team. No one can replace Kaka's role.

Polite? Bender rarely tries to pass more than 10 meters because he knows what he can do, and he also knows that a counterattack after a midfielder's pass is broken is absolutely deadly, so the first thing he thinks about after breaking the ball is not to counter-attack, but how to make sure the ball is passed safely to the feet of his teammates.

This is his strength, but it can also be regarded as his bottleneck, limiting him to only be a qualified defender!

Balls from Sven? Bender's feet came to Hummels' feet, who crossed diagonally. It was at the feet of Podolski, who dribbled into Brazil's backfield, while Germany's Schweinsteiger pressed quickly. Spread the defensive pressure off Mesut Ozil.

Podolski was given the middle. Handed over to Sven? Bend, which was transferred to Schweinsteiger. The ball landed to the left of the centre, but it was already on the edge of Brazil's 32-metre zone.

Thomas? Muller was watching, his back to the left touchline, and his eyes were in full view of the Brazilian defence, especially Alves and David, who were not far away from him. The distance between Luis was more than 10 meters at first glance, but Alves was clearly not clear enough to realize it.

Defensively, the gap between Alves and his predecessor McCone is indeed not small, especially the sense of position.

Thomas? Muller raised his hand and looked like he wanted the ball, a gesture that immediately brought Alves closer to him, but it was a code in the eyes of the rest of the German team.

Klose suddenly retreated from the front, he was in line with the movement of the Brazilian team's back Sandro, always moving behind Sandro, about 25 meters away from the goal, if he was allowed to get the ball in this area, Sandro would be difficult to defend, Klose's ability to definitely get up directly, and the hit rate was not low, so Thiago? Silva greeted his teammate and went up.

Thiago? As soon as Silva goes up, David? Luis protected him, and the distance between him and Alves increased to about 15-20 meters. Both Muller and Mesut Ozil were eyeing the transformation of Brazil's defence at the same time.

Mesut Ozil immediately ran to the left and raised his hand to ask for Schweinsteiger's pass to come to his feet steadily, Sandro and Ramires formed a left and right bag, not giving Ozil a chance to break through or pass, but the German striker did not let the ball linger at his feet.

As if the ball had hit his foot, it swerved in one direction and bounced to the left outside the top of the box at the edge of the box.

Thomas? Muller was the first to move from the left to the middle, running on a line 25 meters from the goal, almost parallel to the line of the penalty area, which was between the two defensive areas of the Brazilian defence and the midfielders.

As soon as you sprint, the ball is at your feet, Thomas? Muller turned around 45 degrees, and it looked more like he was going sideways and continued to charge, without stopping, which was an interesting move because Brazil's midfielders were retreating, and the defenders wanted to retreat, but Thomas? Muller's turn in this direction allows him to continue to get the ball on without a hitch, while also allowing the defenders and midfielders to focus on themselves.

A scorer with the ball, constantly approaching him, and at the same time already in range, whether it is Sandro or Ramirez, is obviously difficult to catch up with, because his movement is clever and exciting? Louis grabbed it, but his move was more like a hammer deal, and it could only cushion Thomas? Muller.

Thiago? Silva also had to choose to get closer, because he knew very well that if not in David? Luis is on his side, Thomas? Muller dribbled past David? After Luiz, he was able to shoot directly from the edge of the box.

That's how almost all the side dribbling inside and then kicking the goal!

But his proximity widened the distance between himself and Klose!

This can't be said about Thiago? Silva made a mistake because he didn't have a choice, in Thomas, who was holding the ball? Between Muller and Klose off the ball, he will always have to choose the former as a defender, and it's a matter of trade-offs.

But Thomas? Muller was also very quick to react, he had been calmly observing the situation from the beginning, if Thiago? Silva didn't come in and he wouldn't hesitate to hit the ball himself, and he was absolutely sure that he could score because he could hit a corner in the middle of the top of the arc, which was too easy for him with his right foot.

But Thiago? Silva leaned in, and he didn't sigh too much, but passed the ball diagonally to the right near the penalty spot, because Thiago? Silva leaned over and Klose was moving to the right all the time, so Thomas? Muller's pass went straight to Klose.

Raising his head and stopping the ball, Klose saw the surprised goalkeeper's incredulous expression, ready to move his pace, and then he could still feel it, Thiago? Silva pushed his speed valley to the highest speed in an instant, lunging towards him, and a Marcelo chasing after him.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and Marcelo, who had just pressed up to attack, would chase him outside the box at this time, and he would not be able to stop him at all.

Everything in the box came to Klose's mind, the ball was at his feet and he could feel where it was, a feeling that had accumulated over the years of stopping and shooting, or practice makes perfect.

Picking up his right leg, this time he didn't feel the slightest pain, because in the past time, he had been training his right leg every day, and even if it was really painful, it was already numb.

Yang Cheng said that he is determined to win this game!

Then, Klose also dares to say that he is bound to score this goal, because at this moment, he once again found the feeling of scoring a goal!
