Chapter 794: Confrontation Battle
We saw that the German team's tactics were slightly adjusted, with Jeremes still pestering Olli, and then Frings moved back a little bit to prevent Oli from counterattacking. ”
"Da Yang also retreated a little bit, ready to receive Oli's pass, and both sides made corresponding adjustments to see who can make the breakthrough first." The situation on the field changed, and both sides strengthened their forces near the center arc.
"Although the Chinese team is ahead, but we can't let our guard down, Jeremes's entanglement allowed the German team to get the opportunity to cross, although the Chinese team has three central defenders, and Oli back to defend, there is no guarantee that every attack can be prevented, and it may be difficult to maintain this score to the midfield." Commentators from other countries who understand football analyzed.
The Germans have adopted a similar strategy to Brazil's, but with a slightly different detail, which has given them more attacking opportunities, and the Chinese backline will be put to the test.
As Worrall expected, Oli alone would never be able to block all the crosses, especially when the German team was already prepared, and in just ten minutes, they had a number of good chances to shoot, Klose and Neuville threatened Jiang Jin's goal, once by Jiang Jin out of the line, and the other by General Fan on the goal line.
Bode used his physical advantage to get rid of Wu Chengying and sent a cross again, this time he deliberately avoided Oli in the middle and passed the ball to the front point, Neuville used his erratic running position to avoid General Fan, rubbed the football before Li Datou cleared the siege, raised his foot and gently rubbed it, changing the flight trajectory of the football.
The bizarre shot caught China's goalkeeper off guard and could only watch as the ball fell into the net, and less than ten minutes after the Chinese team scored, Germany equalised.
This time, the fans of the German team were jubilant, while the fans of the Chinese team fell silent, Neuville ran all the way to the corner area, and the other players came to knock him down, this goal was really not easy.
"Rudy, your strategy has worked! The victory in this game is ours! Skibe clenched his fists in excitement as he saw the hope of the German team winning the championship.
But there was not much joy on Worrall's face, because he saw that Jeremes had not participated in the celebration team just now, and he was using this time to rest with his hands on his knees.
In the past ten minutes, he and Haman have consumed considerable physical strength to defend Oli, and they both showed fatigue after a fifth of the game.
There are still more than 70 minutes to go, will the two of them be able to hold on? Originally, Worrall thought that a three-man rotation would be enough to support the entire field, but now it seems that it is not enough.
The two midfielders have to guard against Oli to support the wings and prevent him from entering the box to defend, and almost every minute they have to arrange two players around him, so there is still time to rest.
But Germany can't have four defenders in midfield, can they? Regardless of whether the formation will be disrupted, and the Germans don't have so many midfielders in the team, there is only one option, which is to continue to attack and try to score more goals before Jeremes, Hamann and Frings are exhausted.
If you can get a two-goal lead in the first half, you can focus on defense in the second half, and then Oli's physical energy should be about the same, and there won't be much energy to attack, right?
At the same time, in the coach's seat of the Chinese team, Milu was also discussing countermeasures with the coaching staff, "Mr. Milu, are we going to stabilize first?" Shrink the formation a little bit more and withstand this attack of the German team? ”
"No, continue to maintain the current formation, and let the horses on the side and Li Xiaopeng pay attention to Oli's pass at any time." Milu thought very clearly, relying on the defense of the Chinese team will not be able to withstand the attack of the German team, so the only way to attack is to attack, even if you can't score immediately, you can consume the physical strength of the German team players to the greatest extent, in this way, Oli has a chance.
After the celebration, the Chinese team restarted, this time the German team deployed heavy troops in the middle to prevent Shen Long from breaking through, and there were also two central defenders next to the goalpost on the defense, but because Bode and Schneider on the side shrank slightly, the three backs formed different levels of defense, and did not leave much space for Shen Long.
Several players exchanged glances, Da Yang knocked the ball to Hao Cannon, Hao Cannon passed back to Shen Long, Shen Long rushed over and shot a shot, the football flew straight to the goal of the German team, and he once again staged a good show of midfield shooting.
Kahn rose into the air, stretched his body, and blocked the ball with his right hand, the football flew in the air for so long, and the strength of this shot was still beyond his expectations, even the best goalkeeper in the World Cup, Kahn, could not control the direction of the ball bounced back, and could only watch the football fly out of the bottom line and give the Chinese team a corner kick.
Worrall and Skibe were relatively speechless, they felt that they had done enough, how did they give the Chinese team a chance? With Ori's header technique, any corner kick is extremely dangerous.
"Klose, go back to defense!" Worrall commanded loudly, and he decided to put two players in the team, Klose with the best header skills and the tallest Metzelde, to flank Ori, while Jeremes and Hamann would also interfere with him, and he took out four men to defend one player.
However, Oli's choice left the German players a little confused, the corner was on the left, but Oli went to the corner on the right side of the penalty area, what was he going to do? Didn't he want to score with a header? Or is the Chinese going to take a tactical corner, drive the ball to the back point, and let Oli volley score?
Wouldn't that be easier to defend? Metzelder immediately stood in front of Oli, and as long as it was not a ball over three meters high, he was confident to stop it.
Kahn stood on the goal line and shouted loudly to direct the defensive formation, with a German player on each side of the post blocking the angle, and the rest of the players also watched Da Yang, Hao Dacang, General Fan and other players, and the German team seemed to be ready for everything.
Li Xiaopeng raised his right hand high, compared the tactical signal to play this attack, the players of the Chinese team began to run, Ou Li used the cover of General Fan to bypass the defenders and rushed towards the goalpost, Li Xiaopeng vigorously drove a corner kick.
Well? What's going on with this corner? It feels like it's almost a metre higher than the crossbar, which player can get it? Was this a mistake by the Chinese team?
