The classic case of 975 counterattack
If the two teams at least Spain actively pressed and attacked in the ten minutes before the first goal, then Spain did not seem to have invested much force in the attack in the next game.
This made this European Cup final look dull, because both sides clearly had to fight a stalemate, without that kind of exciting attack, it looked a bit like landlords. The audience wanted the three players to play cards quickly, but who would have thought that they were all spending time, and even after the time passed, they still didn't play cards.
It really makes people thank you until they wait!
"Mommy, why haven't Dad's team scored yet?"
In the stands at the Kiev Olympic Stadium, Yang grabbed Melissa Trio's hand with the most impolite, and asked with concern, "After seeing his father fall behind, he began to wait anxiously for the German team's goal, but he waited but didn't wait, and was anxious.
Melissa smiled and caressed Yang's hair, looking at Charlize Theron, who was sitting beside her, with a big belly, with a smile on her face, while Charles was on the seat with a half-lying half-lying on the Malaysian Golden Knife, looking as if he was cool.
"Wait a little longer, he must have his own ideas and will score a goal!" Melissa comforted her son.
But after all, she was not sure about her mentality because her opponent was Spain.
"Our coach told us that a truly powerful martial art is not about playing a set of huā boxing and embroidery all day long to confuse the opponent, but patiently waiting for an opportunity to knock down the opponent with one blow. He said, this is called hitting the opponent with one blow!" Charles spoke from the side.
"Your coach? Who?" Yang asked curiously.
"You should know Wing Chun, Ip Man!" The boy also posed as Wing Chun's fist.
This immediately made Charlize Theron and Melissa laugh. I really planned to ask, when did Ip Man say this?
But it is true. This stalemate confrontation is tormenting, and you can feel it from the stands that many fans can't sit still. After all, since Spain scored its first goal, the game has begun to slow down and lose the pleasing pleasure of offensive football that should have.
But everyone was still watching the game attentively. They were looking forward to the situation changing when the 20 minutes entered, but who could have thought that after the 20 minutes entered, the situation still did not change, so what about the 30 minutes entered?
It's still the same, it seems that both sides are ready to waste so much!
In the first 30 minutes, the German team had only two shots, both long shots, none of which were directed. Spain only had 5 shots and 1 shot. That was the time when the goal was scored, the rest were long shots and missed. From this point, we can see how stalemate and boring the situation in this game was.
"It seems that both sides are waiting patiently for the opportunity. The German team's defense is becoming more and more stable, and Spain's investment in offensive forces has decreased, which makes them not continue to create threats like the opening game. So the scene looks a bit dull, but the wits and wits of the head coaches of both sides on the court are still very fierce."
"This kind of competition is not only a tactical competition, but also a psychological test. The German team is currently lagging behind. However, their strength itself is at a disadvantage. How Yang Cheng adjusts and equalizes the score is a key point that everyone expects."
"But Spain itself is only one goal ahead, and the lead is not obvious, at least at this stage. Their lead is subtle. If they can score another goal, then this game can be said to be a sure win, but Bosque seems to be ready to continue to lead 1:0."
"This is also in line with Boske's previous tactical characteristics. Many games have defeated their opponents with a slight 1-0 lead. Now they cannot guarantee that they will not continue to use this routine. But they are now dealing with Yang Cheng's German team. In the first game of the European Cup group stage, they were almost captured by the German team. I believe Boske and his players must have noticed this, so the score of 1:0 is actually very dangerous."
Just as the live commentator was talking, Yang Cheng made an inconspicuous move towards the players on the court, and then about 2 minutes later, the situation on the court changed.
When Alba got the ball and pushed forward, Schweinsteiger, who was supposed to be killed, did not appear where he should have appeared. This led to Alba seeing an opportunity after dribbling the ball and directly hitting Jerome Boateng. The two competed on the wing, but the player from Spain intervened in the back but did not keep up, which directly led to Alba's cross being controlled by the German team.
But soon, the ball was once again controlled by Spain. The German team seemed to consciously guide Spain to the left, which was Gerome Boateng's right attack, and Alba began to be very active on the left, and Spain's middle players also began to intervene frequently.
This scene made the Spanish fans in the stands seem to see the hope of scoring again. They all started shouting very excitedly, calling on the team to continue to actively push forward the offense, and it would be better to score the German team's goal again, which doesn't matter.
Gradually, Spain's offense improved again.
…………
…………
"Rafa, you know that our ancestors in China said something, and I think it makes sense."
When Yang Cheng saw that Spain had found its passion for offense again, he laughed happily because he liked to see Spain's offense. He also firmly believed that Spanish players also liked offense in their bones because they were all players cultivated by Yang Cheng.
"If you want to get it, you must first give it! This means that if you want to get, you have to pay first. Only by giving will you gain. Now, when dealing with Spain, this is actually the case. If you want to attack someone's goal, you have to let others attack your goal. This is certain!"
Sometimes, Yang Cheng feels that the football field is like a battlefield, and it doesn’t matter what is open and honest, or what is intentional framed. As long as it can achieve strategic goals, it can be used by the head coach.
He wanted Spain to push forward the attack again, so he deliberately let go of the right defense and activate the attack on Alba's side. The left young player was full of fighting spirit. He had just joined Barcelona and had just gained a foothold in the national team. He was eager to show his strength on this big stage and make his name come true.
Alba couldn't make much trouble by letting go of the right and strengthening the defense in the middle and left. Moreover, Yang Cheng made this decision when he saw the team's defense becoming more and more stable. If the game was just beginning, he really didn't have the courage.
Alba was active. He created several opportunities, but failed to keep up in the middle, and his teammates were also depressed, so they also had to keep up with Alba's pace of progress. In this way, one should lead the other, as long as Bosque acquiesced, Spain would take another offensive.
Yang Cheng glanced at Boske. The latter watched the game, but did not say anything to stop the team. It was obvious that he was also testing. He wanted to see what Yang Cheng was selling in this gourd, and he must have the intention to take the opportunity to score another goal.
Just score another goal and the situation will be decided!
Alba's offense on the left created several opportunities, but the threat was not great. The German team's defense was quickly restricted. Therefore, in order to maintain the offensive and ball possession rate, Spain's defense line began to push forward again, and the offensive became more and more fierce.
The time has entered 40 minutes, and there is not much time to end the first half. Spain wants to take advantage of this last period to strengthen its offensive and be able to score another goal. If it doesn't work, it can also suppress the fighting spirit and morale of the German team.
But just when everyone felt that the German team was in danger and Spain was likely to score another goal, the German team finally made a real counterattack.
…………
…………
Spain was quickly passing and receiving the ball. Because the German team continued to strengthen their defense against Spain's middle, Alba on the left frequently got opportunities. He pressed on the left, constantly looking for opportunities and constantly getting the ball.
But this time, when Alba was holding the ball against the sideline on the left, he saw that it was not just Jerome Boateng who occupied the position and blocked him in front of him. Schweinsteiger next to him was also stuck at the first time. The two of them were stuck in front of him, blocking his passing and dribbling route to the middle and front.
As soon as the two of them surrounded, Alba hurriedly passed the ball to David Silva who came to pick him up. However, Sven Bend, who was prepared for a long time, suddenly grabbed it and intercepted the ball before David Silva.
As soon as the midfielder intercepted the ball, he was facing Spain directly. After seeing him intercept the ball, he took two steps forward, no more or less, just two steps, and then directly passed the ball to the left side of the Spanish defense line with a big foot.
Why two steps?
In fact, you don’t care about how much pace you are, but about time, preferably 2-3 seconds!
The effect of these 3 seconds is obvious, which is to give the German team the trident in front of the team, and quickly stick it into the opponent's defense line while the opponent's offense and defense is being adjusted, because at this time the Spanish offense is frustrated and ready to turn into the defense. This is a bit similar to the car driving before driving to stop and reverse. You must stop first before you can get into the reverse gear.
And taking advantage of these 3 seconds, Klose, Thomas Muller and Ozil both posted it as soon as possible, especially Ozil, who had already grasped the empty loophole on Alba's side and prepared. As soon as Sven Bend intercepted the ball, he ran towards this area.
The next thing was simple. Sven Bend directly faced the goal with a big foot and passed the ball to the left of the Spanish defense line. Ozil succeeded in counter-offside at the first time, sprinted quickly on the right and finally stopped the ball on the right side of Spain's penalty area.
At this time, Pique had no choice. When Alba was unable to catch up, he chose to block the left line of the penalty area and prepared to block Ozil's cutting route.
Klose rushed forward quickly at the first time. Although he was old, his frontal impact was not slow. He was stared at by Ramos and others, but he kept inserting into the small penalty area, as if he was about to catch Ozil's cross.
This move also made Ramos and Aveloa desperately block Klose and the goal, not giving Klose the opportunity to face the goal directly. But who would have thought that while the cunning German striker was hitting them with his body, he also pushed the two people secretly, causing their center of gravity to tilt towards the goal, but this move was not strong.
But he suddenly stopped suddenly and turned around and retreated towards the penalty kick. Ozil's pass also crossed most of the penalty area. He passed the back-chasing Xavi Alonso and Delarede and passed to Klose's feet near the penalty kick point.
The German striker faced Ozil's goal and stopped steadily. He could feel behind him that Aveloa and Ramos were waiting for the opportunity to steal. Both of them were blocking behind Klose, preventing him from turning around easily.
The whole process happened in an instant. Spain had the advantage before, but the German team's sudden counterattack directly tore open Spain's defense line and entered the penalty area, which made the Spanish internationals very nervous. The first reaction they instinctively made was to stop Klose from scoring.
However, after the German striker stopped the ball, he took a step back and directly passed the ball horizontally to the left, and passed it diagonally behind the left side of Aveloa and Ramos. He saw that Thomas Muller, who had been deliberately running back and ambushing the penalty area, did not suppress his speed anymore, and rushed forward and rushed forward before Aveloa and Ramos. He pushed the ball towards the ball.
When Aveloa and Ramos realized the danger, it was too late. The only thing that could stop Thomas Muller was Casillas. The Spanish goalkeeper also occupied the position, but Thomas Muller's shot was calm. The shooting angle he faced was too large and too wide. Casillas made a save, but the ball was still in a place where he could not reach, and straight into the goal.
"goallllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"
The commentator on the scene almost slapped the table and shouted. On the TV screen, Thomas Mueller rushed out of the penalty area excitedly, raised his arms high, and rushed to the corner flagpole. He knelt on the corner flagpole, opened his mouth wide, and looked at the fans in the stands in disbelief.
The fans in the stands of the Olympic Stadium were stunned for two or three seconds, and then there was a very warm cheer from the audience. Even Avril and Natali, who were sitting in the stands, rushed away from their seats excitedly and cheered for Yang Cheng's team loudly.
"It's so unexpected. Two consecutive goals in this game were so surprising!"
"A counterattack by the German team tore open the Spanish defense line and was very stable. Ozil successfully counterattacked on the right and then planned this attack on the side of the penalty area. He passed it to Klose, who suppressed Aveloa and Ramos with his body, also attracted the attention of the defense, creating an opportunity for Thomas Mueller's insertion on the left."
"The German team's advancement speed was fast and sharp throughout the whole process, and they were fully prepared for the changes in their opponents. I even felt that the German team had just exposed a loophole on the right defensive, allowing Schweinsteiger to get close to the middle and lured Alba to press the attack, Yang Cheng was already implementing his counterattack plan."
Amid the cheers of German fans throughout the audience, the TV screen and live broadcast screens were replaying the whole process of the goal just now, but what is interesting is that this replay was not focused on the goal and promotion, but even included Schweinsteiger and Jerome Boateng's attack on Alba.
It is obvious that this is because the director himself also feels that this pincer attack is crucial to the German team's counterattack.
"We can see that after the pinch attack, the German team had already been preparing to let Alba pass David Silva, Sven Bend keeps defending, and Ozil is also defending behind Alba. No matter which angle Alba passes, there is a risk of being intercepted. After the ball is intercepted, the German team did not seem to launch a counterattack as soon as possible. Sven Bend dribbled the ball forward!"
"This is a very interesting place. During the period when Sven Bend dribbled the ball, Thomas Muller, Klose and Ozil all moved to the key position quickly. After that, the German team played on the left side of Spain. Ozil quickly inserted into the counter-offside and successfully broke through Spain's defense."
"From the whole process, the German team's counterattack was planned and arranged, and the time was well mastered, as if it had been carefully calculated. We even had a feeling that Yang Cheng almost arranged and arranged this counterattack with the characteristics of Spanish players."
"And then we also saw that Ozil did not make a cross, and Klose did not fight for the top, but chose to cooperate. Ozil passed to Klose, who used his body to suppress the two Spanish defenders, attracted attention and passed it to Thomas Muller on the left without anyone being guarded!"
When talking about this, the on-site commentator used four perfections in a row to describe this counterattack.
"This is almost a textbook-like counterattack. Apart from using perfection, I can no longer use more words to represent my praise for the German team's counterattack. I can almost say with certainty that this is not a player's on-the-spot performance, but a premeditated arrangement and arrangement by Yang Cheng!"
"Oh my God, I don't know what to say, but I was very, very, very excited. This counterattack almost made Spain unable to resist. Almost every step and detail was played at Spain's disadvantages, and finally scored a goal. This is a classic counterattack case that should be recorded in the history of football!"
After the German team took advantage of a sudden counterattack to equalize the score, the German players looked excited, but the Spanish players looked disappointed. This is also a comparison between Yang Cheng and Boske. The expressions of the two famous coaches seemed to be in tune with the first goal, which was extremely interesting.
But soon, Yang Cheng reminded the players to continue to maintain their pace and pace, and not to boldly make a goal just because they scored, and lost the good situation.
After equalizing the score, the morale of the German team finally came back! (To be continued)
