“…… Beautiful, Schweinsteiger breaks the ball...... There were three Spanish players around for counter-attacking ......"

"Oops, the ball is broken, Xavi? Alonso cut off the ball at Schweinsteiger's feet...... Passed to David? Silva...... David? Silva broke into the box and passed the ball...... Juan Mata's shot ......"

"Neuer saved the ball steadily, Mata's shot was too angle-oriented, failed to hit the force, and was firmly saved by the quick reaction of Neuer, which was the most threatening attack for Spain since the start of the second half, and the German team conceded again in a short period of time after the break, almost causing a goal!"

When the on-site commentator talked about this time, a scene that happened in the 62nd minute, he seemed shocked, just like all the fans in the stadium stands, who were aroused by the fierce collision between the two sides.

But when Juan Mata's shot was saved by Manuel Neuer, the Spanish fans were visibly sighing, while the German fans were excitedly chanting Neuer's name, and the German goalkeeper has been seen as Germany's most promising supergoalkeeper after Kahn.

This scene was also watched by Mourinho and Ferguson and others sitting in the stands, as well as Heathfield, who were both sitting in the chairman's stand, apparently receiving invitations from UEFA to watch the final.

"You say that you are defeated by yourself, is that feeling cool?" Mourinho asked with a smile and a relaxed smile.

This game has nothing to do with him, so his mood seems to be good, as for what he said about the ridicule of Yang Cheng, everyone can hear it, because Bosque's response is, to a certain extent, exactly what Yang Cheng responded to when he was coaching Real Madrid.

Bosque's response can't be said to be completely copied, there are very few players in the German midfield who can really hold the ball, and physically, Schweinsteiger is not bad. However, the ball skills are not detailed enough, and it is easy to lose the ball as soon as it is tightly pressed, and the midfielder, especially the defensive midfielder, loses the ball, which is very dangerous! ”

"Tony? There is nothing to say about Kloss's skill with the ball. Originally, he was also the best candidate, and he had enough passing vision, but the problem was that his physical confrontation was too weak, and as soon as he was closely marked and impacted, he would lose the ball directly, which was also a big hidden danger, I have to say. Yang Cheng's team is really superb! ”

Heathfield is quite familiar with the staffing of the German team, and when he analyzes it, he can't help laughing, and even he thinks that this German team can play to this level and can play with this almost perfect Spain in the current situation, Yang Cheng is definitely the biggest hero.

Without Yang Cheng, this German team would not be Italy. Even the group of death may not be able to qualify!

"Don't worry, this kid should still have hole cards!" Ferguson said with a smile, it seems. He is full of sincerity towards Yang.

When Mourinho heard this, he turned his head sideways and glanced at the old man, "And the hole cards?" ”

"Before the last step, no one knows how many good cards this kid has in his hand, and even if it really drags into overtime, the victory may not necessarily belong to Spain, and the German team has enough advantages to win!"

Mourinho pouted, "How do I think he is going to hold on to the penalty shootout?" ”

Hearing this, Ferguson was immediately happy. "You think he's you?"

Everyone laughed when they heard the bickering between Ferguson and Mourinho, but they all knew in their hearts that the current situation facing the German team was actually a problem of the ball point.

Yang Cheng's counter-attack strategy has been worked out, which is as long as I have a way to pass the ball behind your defense while my players face your defence. Then I can create dangerous chances. …,

But now, the Spaniards' strong pressing and counter-attacking tactics have curbed the German team's counterattack routine.

As a party, Yang Cheng naturally can't see the problems that the old friends in the stands can see.

"Stabilize the defense first, I don't believe that the Spaniards can always maintain this kind of high-intensity pressing!" Yang Cheng said.

The Spaniards will face a huge problem in terms of physical exertion if they want to maintain this high level of pressing, at least for how long they will be able to maintain such tactics, I am afraid that even Bosque himself does not know.

As Yang Cheng, who has been immersed in the field of head coaching for more than ten years, he knows very well that the main reason why football games can remain interesting and engaging and make the whole world crazy when there are obvious strengths and weaknesses and gaps is that football games have no offensive and defensive restrictions at the tactical level.

In other words, if you attack countless times and you don't get a goal, as long as I attack once and score a goal, then I can beat you, so the most important thing to win a football game is not really anything else, but how to score and prevent the opponent from scoring.

…………

…………

As time progressed, Spain still maintained a high-intensity attack and pressure on the German team, as well as counter-attacking on the spot, and they did not dare to relax in the slightest, because the German team has been patiently waiting for opportunities.

After entering the 70th minute, Yang Cheng took the lead in making the first substitution of the game, replacing Ozil with Podolski, who had obvious physical problems, Podolski's speed and counter-attacking ability were excellent, and he was able to adapt to sprinting back and forth to suppress Spain's left flank.

But Bosque quickly responded, and he used Miguel? Fernando Torres replaced the discredited Jordi Alba, in what was clearly a substitution for Germany, which immediately put the situation in a stalemate again.

"We can all see that Yang Cheng and Bosque both limit each other's tactics to the death, and in the current situation, it is difficult for either to easily break the deadlock on the field, because they both know the opponent's substitutions and purposes, and they are both carrying out targeted defense."

"Bosque's Spain met Yang Cheng's German team, and this game also showed us that Spain is not flawless, at least when the German team shrunk three lines to defend, Bosque's team clearly lacked an effective fulcrum in front."

"Maybe many of them will wonder, what is the purpose of the fulcrum?"

"I remember that in Yang Cheng's tactics book, he described the role of the front court fulcrum as the top of an umbrella, once the fulcrum went forward against the opponent's defense, it was as if this umbrella had been opened. The teammates behind him immediately spread quickly along the sides of the fulcrum, forming a rear insertion into the offensive echelon. ”

"At the moment, Spain is playing without a striker, and Bosque is aware that his team lacks an effective tactical fulcrum. Therefore, in the face of the German team's impregnable attack, they seem powerless, and now they even have to fear the opponent's counterattack, which must also make Bosque feel helpless. ”

While the on-site commentator was talking, the game situation was still stalemate, and no one was able to take advantage of the other party, and everyone was waiting for the other party to take the initiative to make a mistake.

But just as the clock was about to enter the 80th minute. The fans and everyone in the stands suddenly saw that on the bench of the German team, Ballack left the bench to warm up on the sidelines, which immediately caused all the German fans in the stands to be in an uproar.

"The German team is going to make a change!" The on-site commentator also shouted in surprise, "We saw that Ballack was warming up on the sidelines, is Yang Cheng going to replace him on the field?" Or is this another smoke bomb from Yang Cheng? After all. Ballack has only come off the bench once in this European Championship, and in such an important final, let Ballack come off the bench? ”…,

It's not just the confusion of the live narrator. I believe that everyone is wondering, that is, is it feasible to hand over the task of breaking the deadlock on the field to Ballack?

…………

…………

Many people say that in the past ten years, German football has belonged to the era of Ballack and Kahn, and since Kahn left the national team, German football has entered the era of Ballack.

Ballack has become an icon of German football. He is like a flag for the German team and the heart of the team, and he can give the players a sense of security and know that he is there for them no matter what pressure they face.

Don't underestimate this role. Because it is often only when you lose it that you will know the value of this spiritual effect!

The twilight years of every professional player will be accompanied by controversy, Kahn is like this, Raul is like this, Ronaldo is like this, looking at the past professional football, those former superstars can take a glory, and there are only a few superstars who can leave professional football, I am afraid that there is only one Zidane, but Zidane's situation is a bit special.

The same was true of Ballack's twilight of his career, with both club and national teams not treating him well, especially during Loew's time, when he was slapped by his teammates on the pitch and discredited the German captain, but in the end?

When Barak was slapped, Yang Cheng once said a word for him, which caused a lot of controversy at the time, he said: "Every player will have a day to leave, Ballack will have to leave the national team sooner or later, and Loew will have to give up on him sooner or later, but the crux of the matter is that the way you want him to leave makes him feel unacceptable and makes many people feel uncomfortable, this is the problem you have in handling things!" ”

"Now the whole of Germany is criticizing Ballack and accusing him, but I dare to stand up and say a word for my former students, no matter what any of you say, you can't change the fact that German football owes Ballack a decent farewell!"

Therefore, after Yang Cheng took over from Loew at the helm of the German team, he directly found Ballack and told him that he wanted to give him a decent farewell, and the most decent way to say goodbye is undoubtedly a championship trophy of a major competition!

Along the way, Yang Cheng has worked hard, he has worked hard to lead the team, fighting hard one after another, and holding on, the purpose is to win the championship placed in the middle of the player's tunnel!

During the warm-up, Balak took a special look at the Delaunay Cup, which was very beautiful and beautiful, so that he couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, but he finally held back, because Yang Cheng had warned the players before that before the game ended, whoever touched it would cause the trophy to pass through his fingers.

Back in the coaching area, Ballack was immediately shouted in front of Yang Cheng.

The two looked at each other, Barak was a little taller than Yang Cheng, but at first glance it was about the same, so the two could almost be said to be eye level.

"Think that trophy is beautiful and attractive, don't you?" Yang Cheng asked with a faint smile.

Barak smiled slightly, nodded, and said nothing, but the meaning was already obvious.

"I don't want to go to extra time in this game. I hope to be able to end the fight in 90 minutes! Yang Cheng said his thoughts and intentions succinctly.

Going into extra time, the players' physical fitness is almost overdrawn, and the advantage of the German team will be weakened at this time, and the risk is too great. And once it goes to extra time, uncontrollable factors increase, Yang Cheng doesn't like such a game, he likes to end the fight in 90 minutes.

"I need you to go up now, add a midfield without the ball, use your ability to run off the ball, and revitalize the midfield!" …,

"Hold the ball. Pass to teammates, or find Bad Stuber and Hummels and have them make long passes to Thomas on either side? Muller and Podolski, since Spain wants to widen the tactical width, let's use this to blow him up! ”

Bosque replaced Miguel? Torres, in essence, has basically refused to be brought in by a full-back on the left flank, and is ready to adopt a more secure tactic and not take risks at the back. While pulling out the width, let the frontcourt offensive players carry out orderly coordination and penetration, to see if they can directly penetrate the German team's defense.

Barak's health is not as good as it was back then. There hasn't been much improvement in his technique, at least not in the current German team, but he has the advantage that other players don't have, and that is his ability to run off the ball more and more shrewdly as he gains experience.

As early as Chemnitz, Yang Cheng had already begun to train Ballack's off-ball running, not only to let him run within the triangle, but also to consciously train him to become the fourth contact point.

It could even be argued that Ballack is the one who makes the best use of off-ball movement in both offensive and defensive systems. At his peak, he was definitely a superstar, and what he lacked was a trophy that represented his own.

Although Ballack's condition and fitness are not as good as they are at their peak as he gets older, he is also very dangerous at certain times.

There were only about 10 minutes left until the end of the second half. Yang Cheng must make the final substitution adjustment!

Replaced the main midfielder with Ballack, Toney? Cross!

…………

…………

Ballack's appearance is indeed a surprise, because the veteran is about to be 36 years old, and he has not played a few times in the European Cup, why did Yang Cheng replace him?

However, once on the pitch, Ballack quickly showed that he was a threat.

Every player's career is developed physically and technically in a parabolic way, only the consciousness is diagonally upward, when these three lines converge at a point, this point is the peak of the player, and after that, the physical and technical will go down, but the consciousness will continue to improve.

The same can be said for Ballack, who established himself at Chelsea in the latter stages, not least because of his ability to read the game, dropping back when Frank Lampard was in the attacker position, but his positional sense, defensive lateral interceptions and other aspects were excellent, all thanks to his outstanding off-ball running.

It's just that the live TV camera is always focused on the ball carrier running, and there is not much or no attention paid to a runner without the ball like Ballack.

But Ballack also has flaws, that is, his lack of rhythm control and technical delicacy, so Yang Cheng asked him to work with Schweinsteiger and Sven? Bender formed a midfield three to make the most of Ballack's ability to run off the ball, using him to intercept and harass opposition players and protect the area along the edge of the box.

Not long after Ballack came on, he made an interception at the back and launched a long pass, but Thomas? Muller failed to control the ball under Arbeloa's defense, resulting in the ball being cleared by Arbeloa, but Ballack's long pass still won the cheers of many fans.

Ballack's arrival brought not only a tactical change, but also a mental level. After failing to control the ball and missing a chance to counter-attack, Muller gave the youngster a thumbs up as he began directing his team-mates to prepare for the next defence. …,

Strangely, as soon as someone stands there, you can easily feel a kind of mental power, as if he is there, you just have to listen to him, which makes the German players feel a kind of trust and dependence.

Ballack also lived up to expectations, and he showed great performance after coming on the field, and he was soon at the back again, taking advantage of Mata's retreat to get the ball, pressing the opponent with his body, and stealing the ball with his feet early, allowing the chasing Schweinsteiger to get the opportunity to possess the ball.

Like every time the German team controlled the ball in the past, Spain stepped forward to exert pressure at the first time, especially the players in the midfield, who were put into the spot for the first time, Schweinsteiger was chasing back to get the ball, with his back to the goal, and surrounded by Spanish players in the bag, so he did not choose to come hard, but according to the pre-game manager's arrangement, the ball was passed into his penalty area.

As early as after Ballack broke the ball, Bad Stuber had already retreated, pulling a little distance from the defender in front of him, and when Schweinsteiger passed the ball back before the pack, Bad Stuber stopped the ball firmly in the penalty area, and looked ahead, all the situation was suddenly in his mind.

Then he pulled out his left leg, buckled past Iniesta, and rolled out a long-range long pass with his left foot.

This long pass arc is very beautiful, and the landing point is excellent! (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. )
