There are many people, and even Yang Cheng himself doesn't know that Jerome Boateng has a special relationship with him.

When Yang Cheng took Kompany away from Hamburg, he was very optimistic about the Belgians. Hamburg was not satisfied with Kompany at the time, so he let it go directly. In order to fill Kompany's position, they introduced the then Bundesliga rookie Jerome Boateng from Hertha Berlin, hoping that the latter could replace Kompany and contribute to the team's defense.

Although Jerome Boateng had no relationship with Yang Cheng at that time, he knew that Yang Cheng not only created a rigorous youth training system to help him grow, but also indirectly helped him come to Hamburg from Hertha Berlin. He also gained a firm foothold in Hamburg and became a well-known rookie in the Bundesliga.

He was 19 years old that year!

Compared with his brother's ups and downs, Jerome Boateng's journey in the German team was smooth sailing. From u16 to u17 to u19 to u21, he improved step by step, and gained a foothold in every level, becoming the team's absolute main defender, and was regarded as the future star of Germany.

As a versatile player, Jerome Boateng can play in all positions in the back line. He has competed with giant stars such as Boyan, Balotelli, and Walcott in the youth team. His outstanding positioning and high-altitude ball advantage have made these opponents come back in front of him one by one. He even achieved an impressive record of one-on-one success rate in a game, and through a series of outstanding performances, he convinced Löw to bring him to the national team and participated in the South African World Cup.

If Lof is considered to be a mentor who excavated his mentor, then Yang Cheng is using his mentor!

After Yang Cheng came on stage, Jerome Boateng always firmly occupies the right-back position. In addition to making him pay attention to defense, Yang Cheng also needs to play his excellent crossing and large-scale transfer ability. Yang Cheng's hope for him is to hope that he can become a strong pillar of the team's weak spot on the right.

After experiencing Manchester City's nightmare at the club, Jerome Boateng returned to Bayern Munich and performed well in Pellegrini's team. He helped the team to enter the Champions League final and received very high praise, so even he himself had high hopes for this European Cup, because he is 23 years old and 24 years old after the European Cup. He hopes to have more beautiful memories in his career.

But unexpectedly, his mistake against Spain in the first European Cup directly led to the German team's goal loss, and this mistake happened in his best one-on-one situation, and was directly fooled by David Silva.

Although Yang Cheng never mentioned the mistakes after the game, and also gave him enough trust and support, Jerome Boateng has always given people a low-key and quiet impression, this does not mean that he is not angry. On the contrary, people with this personality are often more arrogant than anyone else.

Now that he has been qualified for the starter again, Jerome Boateng has made up his mind to perform hard from the beginning. Even before the game, all the players' families and girlfriends stayed at the team's base. However, Jerome Boateng refused his girlfriend's call for courtship and chose to train hard.

His hope is to better prove his strength in the second game, at least he cannot disappoint Yang Cheng who trusted him, otherwise he would feel ashamed.

So after the game started, Jerome Boateng played very actively on the side. He accurately found Gomez with his first cross, almost pierced through the Portuguese goal and won a lot of lottery. After that, his offense and defense on this side were both good.

But what I didn't expect was that Pepe had a big foot and created a little Ronaldo's offside.

Jerome Boateng's responsibility for this game is Ronaldo, so even if Ronaldo has gone away, he still chased him tightly, without any idea of ​​giving up, and chased after him.

Pepe's big foot was a bit blind, passing to the left, but it was a little biased towards the boundary line on the left. So when Ronaldo chased after him, in order to catch up, he chased forward along the left side line in order to catch the ball. Although Jerome Boateng started slowly, this black guy was slower to start. Once the speed increased, he could also soar and quickly caught up.

The two players formed a confrontation on the left side of the German penalty area. Ronaldo stopped the ball, and Jerome Boateng blocked his way into the penalty area. The two set up a one-on-one battle.

Almost at the same time as the confrontation formed, Jerome Boateng came up in his mind. Before the game, Yang Cheng passed the tactical preparation drafts to each of their players through the coaching staff. His tactical preparation included the defensive precautions of Ronaldo. One of the important points of attention is not to eat his shaking, don't want to intercept the ball, just entangle him and wait for support.

Jerom Boateng's one-on-one is a strong point, but Ronaldo is famous, and Yang Cheng's tactical preparations rarely make mistakes, so Jerom Boateng immediately lowered his center of gravity and began to stalk, instead of sticking to Ronaldo's goal to intercept the ball.

The Portuguese had a fake move to go down the bottom, but what made him feel depressed was that Jerome Boateng just moved his body, but did not eat his trick. Then he used his foot to pluck a few times, and even stepped on a bicycle during that time, but Boateng did not eat his shaking and stood there tightly to guard against him.

Little Ronaldo was helpless at this moment. Firstly, because he was trapped in the corner, there was no place for him to play his speed advantage. Secondly, he was not particularly good at one-on-one passing. He knew this better than anyone else. What he was best at was running without the ball behind him, and his mid-range sprinting speed.

As soon as he saw Jerome Boateng not swaying, Ronaldo had no choice but to pull out a position and cross it.

But this time, the German team's defense had already fallen, and Ronaldo's cross was given to the penalty area. However, Hummels snatched the ball before Postigga, cleared the ball out of the penalty area with one kick, and also let the German team make a counterattack.

Seeing the attack failure, Xiao Xiao Luo sighed. He looked at Boateng in front of him. He felt that the boy seemed to have made plans, and then looked at Yang Cheng on the sidelines. The latter was smiling so much that he looked at them evilly, and he immediately understood in his heart. It must be the damn leader who gave the kid advice.

To be honest, if anyone knows Xiao Xiao Luo best, it must be Yang Cheng!

"Boy, don't think that having a leader's secret can prevent me!" Ronaldo provocatively smiled proudly at Jerome Boateng. Who is he? He is the world's number one star Cristiano Ronaldo, so easily prevented from falling?

Xiao Xiao Luo is also a donkey, and his personality is stubborn. Especially when he wants to do something, he will spare no effort to do it. He even has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder and has to force himself to do it.

So he soon took the initiative to look for opportunities when Portugal launched a counterattack, but this time he did not continue to choose to wait for opportunities on the left, but decided to give full play to his advantages and take the initiative to find fighter jets. So he ran from the left to the middle.

Moutinho's pass came to his feet almost when Ronaldo arrived at the front of the penalty area. As soon as Ronaldo got the ball, he felt comfortable and did not need to adjust. He directly kicked his foot and shot with an angry shot. But just when the ball was just kicked out, Jerome Boateng was like a black mountain blocking him, leaning sideways, blocking his ball.

This shot was very powerful, but after a big black man got a shot on his butt, he turned around and caught up with the ball, cleared the ball with his big foot, and drove the ball to the frontcourt again. Then he turned around and looked at Little Ronaldo provocatively, as if saying, don't think you have a chance to play!

Xiao Xiao Luo is even worse now. This guy just can't be accustomed to his temper, and he will get a problem when he is used to it.

He found another opportunity. This time he cut directly into the penalty area from the left. Postigga at the front of the penalty area passed the ball to his feet, but Jerome Boateng steadily blocked his route of driving the ball and blocked him steadily, forcing the Portuguese to choose to turn around in order to protect the ball, and then took the ball out of the penalty area again, and then knocked back to Coentrane.

In three consecutive matches, Ronaldo took the initiative to attack, but he failed to get any advantage from Jerome Boateng, which made the Portuguese look annoyed. Moreover, these three balls took a total of 10 minutes, which means that he only had three chances to get the ball in 10 minutes.

It can be imagined how powerful Portugal's midfield and backcourt were suppressed by the German team.

"If Paul Bento was smart enough at this time, he should have hit this kid, and he was obviously dizzy!" Yang Cheng shook his head on the sidelines. The biggest problem for Ronaldo is his personality, which is too easy to become irritable and too competitive.

"Do you think everyone is you? He may not listen to anyone except you!" Benitez said coldly.

At Liverpool, Ronaldo performed well when he was leading the team at Liverpool, but as soon as Yang Cheng left, Daglish could not control the kid, which directly led to him almost losing control. After coming to Real Madrid, Yang Cheng pushed him back again, and made his strength improve by leaps and bounds in the past few years, and his reputation and status have also made great leaps.

Although Paul Bento is also a professional player, a former international player, and a player of the golden generation in the past, no matter from which perspective, he is not like the kind of master who can suppress Ronaldo. If he asks him to hit Ronaldo, it may be counterproductive and make this man unhappy, it would be even worse.

Sometimes, the head coach is so difficult!

…………

…………

Jerom Boateng's performance and level are really a leaps and bounds compared to the previous game. The right he is stationed on is solid, but it is obviously not seen too much by fans.

This is also impossible, because defense is never so eye-catching, but offense always attracts attention.

So in the German team, there is another player who knows shame and becomes brave, but he is not as pitiful as Jerome Boateng. He performed well but received no praise. After he performed well, he received applause and encouragement from the fans in the stands.

That is the German starting striker Gomez!

In order to enable him to exert his strength, Yang Cheng deliberately lets Thomas Muller and Ozil pull him on the wing, either crossing the bottom, or cutting inward to attract defensive pressure. These are all hopes to exert Gomez's strength. The latter's performance is indeed sufficient, and his performance is good, but his luck is still a little bit bad.

However, the German team was able to rely on its own advantages to continuously transport shells to the front and provide opportunities for Gomez. Sometimes, hard work is rewarded. If a blind cat hits a dead mouse, he will always catch it once.

In the 39th minute, Portugal made a counterattack. After the side of Ronaldo failed, Portugal wanted to go to Nani this time. However, Ram and Kyle successfully intercepted the ball. Ram dribbled the ball along the left side and passed it to Thomas Mueller, making a quick counterattack.

During the counterattack, Gomez got plenty of running space in the middle. He first deliberately ran to the left, and seemed to be going to meet Thomas Muller. This immediately made Pepe and Merreles, who were chasing back, focus their attention on the left.

But Thomas Muller chose to pass the ball to Schweinsteiger. The latter pulled out another Portugal center back Alves when he dribbled the ball in the middle.

I saw Gomez suddenly change the line from the left side and run to the right side. Because Pepe and Merreles were both on the left side just now, and suddenly changed the line, both of them were caught off guard and chased after it as soon as possible, but Schweiingsteiger had already rushed to Alves and passed the ball to the far post.

The ball definitely did not pass to the far post, because Gomez intercepted the ball in the middle of the halfway point, and used his signature move, stopping and pushing. This time, both movements were completed at high speed. When Patricio reacted, the ball had almost rubbed the right post and drilled into the net!

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!"

The live commentator almost wanted to tear open his throat and shouted loudly!

"The German team finally scored a goal!!!"

With his shouts, all the German fans rushed out of their seats immediately, shouting loudly, venting the depression and unwillingness of losing to Spain in the first game.

From the camera, you can see that Young next to Melissa Terrio stood directly on the seat, pulled a scarf with both hands, shouting loudly, as if he was happy for his father's team's goal and cheering for his father!

"In the 39th minute, the German team beat Portugal for 39 minutes and finally broke the Portugal goal!"

"This is the goal that the German team deserves. They almost put a huge pressure on Portugal throughout the first half and launched a tide of attack, but they always missed the goal. Now, Gomez finally scored a heavy goal to score the first record for the German team and scored the first goal of the German team in this European Cup!"

"This is a very, very smart goal, which reflects Gomez's cunning when running, and also reflects his tenacity and never giving up as an excellent shooter. At least he suddenly changed the line and caught the Portuguese player off guard!"

"That's great, a very exciting goal, from the German striker Mario Gomez!"

When the camera was re-pointed at Gomez, the German striker had already kneeled on the sidelines, raised his arms, accepted the cheers and cheers from the German fans in the stands, and accepted their praise and affirmation!

"The first game against Spain, without a goal, made Gomez fall into a wave of criticism, but we can see that Yang Cheng did not change his employment policy because of criticism from outside public opinion. He chose to continue to trust Gomez and Jerome Boateng. These two players also used their outstanding performance and condition to repay Yang Cheng's trust and support for them in this game, which made us have to admire Yang Cheng's level!"

"What is a world-famous coach?" The live commentator obviously seemed very excited after Gomez scored. He didn't know if he was also Yang Cheng or a fan of the German team. "This is a world-famous coach!"

Gomez's goal also made Yang Cheng in the German coach's seat excited because he knew that now that the goal was scored, the German team had the lead in the game, and he would be more confident in the game next.

In this kind of elimination game, every game is the final, and one goal can completely change the situation of the entire game, so Gomez's goal can be said to be crucial.

At the critical moment, Gomez and Jerome Boateng finally did not disappoint Yang Cheng. One of them withstood the pressure and frozen the opponent's number one star, while the other was stubbornly seizing the opportunity. It can even be said that they created the opportunity themselves and set the first record for the German team.

This goal made the German team's qualifying situation clear again, and it can also be said that the German team saw the dawn of qualifying!

Benitez patted Yang Cheng's shoulder hard, and frankly said that Yang Cheng had previously said that he would continue to use Gomez and Jerome Boateng. He was worried and worried because he was worried that these two players would become the team's weakness because they were under too much pressure.

But what was unexpected was that Yang Cheng took the initiative to excuse them before the game and continued to entrust them with important tasks, which made them want to do a big fight from the bottom of their hearts and withstand the pressure well. This can be said to fully reflect Yang Cheng's wisdom in employed people!

"You win, I'll accept you!" Benitez said with a smile. He had a disagreement with Yang Cheng before. Now it seems that he was wrong. Yang Cheng's approach may have taken a little risk, but it has successfully inspired the state and strength of the two powerful generals.

Overall, this risk is good and wonderful!

At least after this goal, the situation in this game became completely cheerful!

What the German team needs to do next is to wait for work and see how Paul Bento made a move during the halftime break! (To be continued)
Chapter completed!
