For a long time, when facing Spain, the situation that Yang Cheng is most worried about is not to be hit by Spain, but to lose the ball first!

Facing a team like Spain is similar to facing Real Madrid. Conceding a goal first is a very terrible and passive ending.

Because, once you concede the ball first, if you want to equalize or even reverse, you have to adopt a more proactive offensive tactic. For the German team, the unstable defense will be exposed during the attack, which may allow Spain to seize the opportunity and score more goals.

Real Madrid played so many big scores because their opponents were not convinced and wanted to attack when they were behind!

Well, if you don’t take the initiative to attack, then how do you break through Spain’s defense?

This Spanish team is really strong and very strong. Yang Cheng knew from the beginning that once the ball was lost first, he could almost say that he would lose more than half of the game. He did not expect that when the game started so well, a mistake would suddenly happen before the end of the first half.

He patted his forehead hard, even in the crowded Lviv Stadium, Yang Cheng could hear a snap. The hard work and efforts of the players in 45 minutes were completely wasted.

"What should I do now?" Paul Bayer had no idea.

Originally, the German team was not as strong as Spain, and now they are behind, so it is really difficult to equalize the score and reverse. Moreover, the main striker Klose ended up due to injury, which undoubtedly made the prospects of the German team worse.

Without Klose, there will be no moving fulcrum in the frontcourt. Gomez is good, but at the tactical level, its role is not as obvious as Klose. The latter's style of playing football is becoming more and more incredible, and it is not acceptable to be dissatisfied. At this point, Gomez is still far behind. More experience and awareness are needed.

"Stable the situation first!" Yang Cheng said firmly.

He could expect that Spain's offensive team, which is a snake-like stick, will take advantage of the goal and push it up in one go. It will bombard the German team in a round of bombing. If the German team loses the ball and affects the morale, or the players are in a daze, then it will not be one goal, but more.

So Yang Cheng quickly calmed down and walked to the sidelines to remind the players to pay attention. At the same time, he also asked Jerome Boateng not to care too much about conceding the ball. He told Mertesak not to take the concealment of the ball to heart, and even let Keldo look at these two teammates.

Now is not the time to hold the responsibility accountable, and the game continues. If the responsibility is held accountable now, isn’t it going to cause the German team to fight in an internal strife? How can we play this game then?

Not to mention now, even after the game is over, Yang Cheng will not hold him accountable. On the contrary, he must take all the responsibilities actively to avoid players under too much pressure, otherwise he will not have to play the game.

Sometimes I think about it. Being a head coach is really hard!

…………

…………

During the halftime break, Yang Cheng received good news. Walfat said that Klose's injury was not serious and he should be able to recover quickly after recuperation, but I don't know if he can catch up with the game against Portugal.

In the locker room during the halftime break, Yang Cheng first praised the team's performance, believing that the team played the tactical style he wanted in the first half, weakening Spain's passes and threats very well. However, he also pointed out that the team's shortcomings, especially in the last shot, wasted a lot of opportunities.

During the whole process, he never mentioned losing the ball. He kept saying that the team would have the chance to take the initiative again.

Interestingly, during the 15 minutes of the halftime break, the head coaches of both teams did not substitute or adjust, and they still maintained the tactical style, but did not continue the situation in the first half. It is obvious that after the rest of the midfield, the morale of the German team improved, and the players regained their fighting spirit and confidence in the game.

However, Spain's advantages in ball control and technical control are still obvious. The German team seemed passive on the scene. In addition, Yang Cheng did not ask the team to attack, so the scene became a bit stalemate.

"It seems that we can only wait now!" Yang Cheng looked at Boske, the old fox, without taking risks at all, and had no choice.

To be honest, Boske is the kind of cautious head coach. This can be seen from the fact that he only wins one goal in many games. He belongs to the cautious type, so he has finally taken the lead now, so he is naturally unwilling to reveal his flaws easily, and then is caught and exploited by Yang Cheng.

In terms of game sense, Boske is not as good as Yang Cheng, so all he can do is to minimize loopholes and mistakes.

Benitez sighed deeply. All the German team can do now is wait and wait passively.

There is no way. If you pull it out and fight Spain, it is just a matter of seeking death. The opponent has a goal in his hand and he wants you to go out and play with him. As soon as you go out, you fall into his trap. So now the German team must wait.

The Spanish players are Real Madrid players as the main body, and Real Madrid players have played so many games in the past season, including La Liga, Champions League, Cup of Rey and Club World Cup, plus the Spanish Super Cup and European Super Cup before the season. Although Yang Cheng's rotation system has been successful, his physical fitness has been almost exhausted now.

Although most people say that Spain's playing style determines that their physical energy consumption is not very serious, the first half of this game was dragged by the German team to engage in such a fierce and fast attack. The physical energy consumption of this Spain must be quite large, so Yang Cheng has to wait until their physical fitness is a little unable to keep up, and then make a fuss.

As for physical fitness, the German team has undergone high-intensity physical reserve training. Although the state has not yet been fully developed, it will definitely last longer than Spain. Yang Cheng has enough confidence in this and at least he can use his physical fitness to drag them down.

The only suspense is whether the German team can wait until Spain's physical fitness cannot keep up.

So when the second half began, Spain attacked well and the German team defended a little embarrassedly, Yang Cheng replaced Podolsky with Khdira, asked Ozil to play the right winger, and set up a formation to play the three-middle midfielder tactics.

The three-middle midfielder has a greater protection range for the defense, especially when the team shrinks its defense, it is even more difficult for Spain to effectively send the ball into the German team's penalty area. Although it takes the initiative, it has never been able to find a way to break through the German team again.

This is also determined by Spanish tactics. David Silva, Mata and Iniesta are all those kind of players who are quick and quick. Boske is destined to use ground penetration and propulsion to complete the attack. Because no one can catch the high ball at all, do you still expect these three players around 1.7 meters tall to grab the header on the heads of this group of German players who are more than 1.8 meters and more than 1.9 meters?

Once you play the ground and penetrate, you can only cut in and advance in the middle, so the German team's shrinking defense can effectively limit the space, and the three back midfielders are swaying in the front. The defense suddenly becomes firm.

However, in this way, the scene naturally is not as beautiful and so refreshing as it was after the opening.

"Bad, didn't this bastard say he looked down on the defense? I didn't expect that he would be today too!"

In the west stand of the Lviv Stadium, Mourinho sat upright in one of the positions. Seeing Yang Cheng also posing a three-middle midfielder tactic, he looked gloating. Because he felt that this seemed to be his own patent, Yang Cheng, who has always claimed that he is the representative of offensive football, should not use such tactics.

"Please, why are your words so sour?" Ferguson shook his head and laughed. "How could he say he looked down on the defense? Don't put exaggerated words on him. If you want your words to spread, everyone will say you are jealous!"

"Am I jealous of him?" Mourinho was immediately upset, "Bad!"

Wenger was so happy that he shook his head when he saw Mourinho's expression, thinking that the Portuguese's fatal hole was Yang Cheng.

No wonder, it’s a headache for anyone to touch Europa and England, but he just has no way to deal with Yang Cheng. He had a little revenge, but now he has turned to the national team. No matter how good Mourinho plays in the club competition, everyone will only say that he is Yang Cheng’s defeated player, and he has confirmed this title.

"The beginning was indeed amazing. His defensive counterattack was much more proactive than your defense. I think he should have found the style of the German team!" Ferguson said with praise.

Fast and proactive defensive counterattack can fully weaken the risks brought by the hidden worries on the German team's defense line, and can also give full play to the advantages of the German team's offensive cooperation. In addition, he has always advocated the frontcourt pressing. As long as he is running-in and forming, the strength of this German team will be greatly improved.

"Didn't you just suffer from this tactic loss back then?" Mourinho said sarcastically.

Ferguson encountered Real Madrid led by Boske in 2000. Real Madrid's five-defender tactics were actually this kind of active defensive counterattack tactic. At that time, Manchester United tied Real Madrid 0:0 away, but then lost 2:3 at home, which directly led to Real Madrid being eliminated from the Champions League and losing the opportunity to challenge the Champions League.

Ferguson was always worried about this matter. Mourinho didn't say that he would choose to suppress it himself, but now that someone has opened his scars, he immediately became angry, his face turned red, and he looked furious.

"When you were in Barcelona, ​​when did you meet Real Madrid, you fell under the Real Madrid tactics? Haven't you ever suffered a loss?" Ferguson counterattacked. Many people recognized that Real Madrid's tactics just restrained Barcelona's traditional tactics.

"Oh, by the way, I remembered it, no wonder you were not from the coaching staff back then!"

Ferguson's words also made Mourinho unhappy. He kept telling others that he was from Barcelona's coaching staff, but in fact he was a translator. But he personally always said that the translator also belongs to the coaching staff. Now that Ferguson said this, it is obvious that he is attacking himself personally. This old guy is really impatient.

Seeing Mourinho's round eyes, Ferguson refused to give in. In the end, both of them snorted coldly, turned their heads, and simply ignored him, so as not to worry.

Wenger smiled so hard when he saw these two arch rivals just like a child.

"I always feel that he seems to be preparing to fight a defensive counterattack now, and he should be waiting!" After all, he was also a famous coach. Wenger soon saw Yang Cheng's intention, "But what else does he have to do?"

When it comes to football, Ferguson and Mourinho are immediately energetic.

"This guy can't fight like this without a backup!" Mourinho said with great confidence.

At least with what he knew, if Yang Cheng had no backup, he might bet on Boske now, but he was not very sure. Because it was a group stage now, the goal difference relationship was significant, so if Yang Cheng strives to lose 0:1, it is not impossible.

"He has another chance to substitution. Boske has three more times, and the situation is also not optimistic!" Ferguson shook his head.

In this game, the most unlucky thing about the German team was actually Klose's fate. It not only allowed the German team to lose the main striker and waste a substitution place, but also disrupted the momentum that the German team has built up all the way since the opening.

If Klose was not injured and the whole situation continued, maybe that attack from Spain would not have made it.

But it's too late to say anything now. Now the situation is behind and the score is also behind. Yang Cheng's situation looks bad. The only thing that can change the situation of the game is the substitution he has at hand. Don't forget that Boske has three substitutions.

The three players in the stands were obviously worried about Yang Cheng's situation, because the German team has almost no advantage now. It is really difficult for ordinary people to turn the situation around, unless Yang Cheng has any backup plan.

But even if there is a backup plan, it will be almost out, because the game has been over 65 minutes. If you don’t need it, it will be too late!

…………

…………

"Is it time to go?" Paul Bayer also felt that he should go.

It actually takes a little time to make a substitution in football games, because football is different from basketball, the latter scores a lot of goals, but football is often difficult to score goals, so some time must be reserved.

Those so-called substitutions that turn the situation around as soon as they come on the court and help the team score goals are a large part of the reason.

"Wait a little longer!" Yang Cheng also looked solemn. He knew better than anyone else about when to substitutions, but now is not the time, because from the data of Tim Hank just now and what he saw from the scene, Spain is still angry, and Boske has three substitutions and adjustments.

As time passed, the fans in the stands began to feel a little unable to sit still, especially the fans of the German team, who began to shout the names of the players and Yang Cheng, hoping that they could do something to change the situation.

When the time came to the 68th minute, Spain made its first substitution and replaced Mata with Torres.

The latter was entangled with the German team's defense throughout the game. He looked a little tired, and his running was obviously less and his effect was also small. If you replace Torres, it was obvious that you would strengthen the offense.

"We should have to change another person!" After seeing Torres on the court, Yang Cheng decided to continue waiting.

The player Torres was definitely not playing on the ground to cooperate. Boske was obviously worried about Yang Cheng's backup, so he wanted to further expand the score, so he replaced Torres, but in this way, he had to have someone to make trouble on the wing, and neither David Silva nor Iniesta were able to do it.

Sure enough, it seemed as if Yang Cheng was saying it. Two minutes after Torres played, Navas replaced Iniesta. The purpose of Sevilla's wing assaulter on the field was clear. He kicked the ball from the wing and continued to put more pressure on the German team's defense.

To be honest, Boske's substitution is very powerful, very decisive and clear, but unfortunately, Yang Cheng is waiting for him to replace him.

In the third minute after Navas came on the court, although the Spanish winger immediately got a chance to break through on the wing, Ram steadily stuck his position and destroyed the ball. The German team took advantage of this dead ball opportunity to replace Ozil with Badstuber and let Ram play the position of the attacker on the right.

This is almost a targeted move to replace the Spanish team. Desler had already warmed up, but after seeing Boske replace Navas, Yang Cheng chose Badstuber, which was obviously to defend Navas and further strengthen the stability of the defense line. Ram can also create murderous intent on the wing, especially on the right side, where he is the right foot player.

Spain's physical fitness has dropped a lot now, and the coordination of one pass and receiving ball is obviously not as smooth as before, and the operation speed is not as fast as before. As soon as the German team made a substitution, they immediately launched the last round of counterattack, which happened to be 76 minutes.

The German team's counterattack was fierce, first intercepted the ball by Khdira in the midfield and passed it to Ram

After getting the ball on the right, Ram immediately dribbled the ball along the wing and shot a high speed, hit a counterattack, attracted the attention of the defensive, and passed the ball to Gomez, who shot with a shot and missed slightly.

But this attack also made people sweat.

On the contrary, Spain wanted to attack on the right after the substitution, but after Bad Stuber came on the court, he always maintained the connection with Kyle. With the three midfielders, the defense was firm. Navas never got a good chance to play on this side, and Torres' role in the middle was seriously weakened.

Defend one side and attack the other side, defend firmly and resolutely!

After Yang Cheng made a substitution, he could almost say that he was going to fight. The German team's right-hand side Jerome Boateng and Ram formed a right-hand offensive combination, frequently launched fierce attacks on Spain's left side, and several counterattacks began to create threats.

When the 81st minute of the game was in progress, the German team formed an offense on the right and pressed Spain's left. However, when Ram faced Averoa, he failed to make a breakthrough and could only knock the ball back to Jerome Boateng.

The team's convict of the goal was always full of anger and wanted to clean up the charge. Once they got the ball, they immediately noticed that the Spanish defense was seriously left-leaning, revealing the gap on the right. Thomas Muller always swam on that side, so they directly transferred the ball to the right side of the Spanish defense line with a big foot.

Thomas Muller stopped steadily after getting the ball, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and Miguel Torres and Ramos rushed over immediately, and Casillas also stood left immediately, trying to block Thomas Muller's shooting angle.

But I saw Thomas Mueller very calm. As soon as he entered the penalty area, he suddenly stopped suddenly, pulled out the open space, and transferred the ball horizontally, passing the ball horizontally to Gomez, who ran out of the open space without anyone defending it.

At this time, Gomez was facing most of the goal without defense, which was almost the same as facing an empty goal! (To be continued)
