976 Desperate
Beep~beep~~
"With the referee's whistle, the first half is over!"
The live commentator had a lot to say before, but because the game was still going on, he could only hold it in. Now that he heard the whistle sound, he began to cooperate with the exciting replay of the first half, and he couldn't speak up.
"This is not the most exciting 45 minutes. Even in my opinion, the first half of the European Cup group stage, Spain and Germany, was the best 45 minutes of the entire European Cup so far, and it is also the most classic offensive battle. Compared with that game, this game seems boring."
"But in this dullness, it is not the inaction of both sides, but the active preparation and preparation of the offensive, actively and patiently looking for the other party's loopholes. Once they seize the opportunity, they will launch a thunderous offensive and catch their opponent off guard."
"Spain's goal was aimed at the loopholes in the German team's defensive organization. The impact of Kyle's injury was huge. The central defender combination of Badstuber and Hummels was still lacking in Kyle's stability and sophistication. Spain took advantage of this issue of the German team, seized the opportunity, and took the lead."
"The German team's tactics in this game seem to be conservative, but their conservatives are interesting, especially the defensive tactics arranged by Yang Cheng in this game are very research-oriented. I don't know how many people on the scene have seen this, but I believe that after this game, the German team's defense will once again become the object of learning for countless teams."
"Yang Cheng's tactics are not just about emphasizing defense. I believe he knows it himself. If he continues to use the kind of offensive battle in the first game of the group, the German team will only die miserably, so he takes another way, that is, defensive counterattack."
"That's right. In the whole first half, the German team had only one threatening defensive counterattack, but it was this defensive counterattack that made all of us worth the fare. Because what we saw was a nearly perfect defensive counterattack, which was not fast, and even. Compared with previous defensive counterattacks, the German team's defensive counterattack can be said to be a bit slow."
"After Sven Bend intercepting the ball from the front, he simply took a few steps directly. This is obviously a waste of time, but what we should see more is that the German team started from the moment they got the ball, then Ozil stopped the ball from the side, and then Klose suppressed two Spanish defenders to create an opportunity for Thomas Mueller to insert it. The whole process seemed to have been carried out very carefully, and everyone performed it on the court to complete the entire process perfectly."
"Maybe, in the eyes of many fans, this first half was mediocre and dull, but in my opinion, I think this first half was the 45 minutes that excites me the most among all the football games I have seen. It's not because of anything else, just because I saw two classic goals!"
When talking about this, the director also reminded the on-site commentator to enter the advertisement, so he began to summarize the first half and estimate the second half.
"The current situation is a turning point. The German team equalized the score in the 42nd minute, and the two teams returned to a balanced state. They will stand on the same starting line again in the second half, but the situation is obviously different from the opening."
"When Spain is equalized, the players' mood will definitely be affected, and they may not be willing to play overtime and penalty against the German team, because Yang Cheng's German team has excellent fighting spirit and willpower, and they will never be vague at critical moments. It is very dangerous to drag into overtime and penalty shootouts."
"The German team may continue to adopt the game strategy of stabilizing the defense first. After all, they are at a disadvantage in strength, but I believe that after the boost of morale by this goal, this German team will definitely perform better in the future, and they will definitely not be willing to enter the overtime and penalty shootout, so the second half will definitely be better and more exciting than the first half!"

As the on-site commentator said, in the German team's locker room, the players were obviously still immersed in the goal just now. As soon as they walked into the locker room, they began to discuss the goal just now happily.
"Did you see that the guys from Spain all walked down with their heads down. I played so many games with them, but I haven't seen them like that. It's so satisfying!"
"These guys have not lost the ball in the past few years, and they are not used to losing. They suddenly got equalized by us, and they are not stunned. According to me, they must be upset and afraid in the locker room now, for fear of losing this game!"
"I didn't say that, we came for the trophy. The situation is so good now, we must kill Spain!"
"Yes, kill them and bring the trophy home!"
A group of people were discussing noisy in the locker room, and each of them looked as if they had won the championship in advance.
When Yang Cheng pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in, the group of boys all showed a smile on their faces, looking at him like Sunflower. However, when he saw the seriousness on their head coach's face as if the flood of the end of the world was about to come, he couldn't laugh.
"Give you 3 minutes and forget the first half of the game!" Yang Cheng shouted in a deep voice.
Everyone will feel cold all over whenever they hear this sentence. Although the head coach did not scold them, they could all hear from their tone that the head coach was not happy with their optimism, or even angry.
In the next 3 minutes, the locker room became quiet, leaving only the movements of the staff.
As time came, Yang Cheng began to make midfield tactical arrangements.
"I want all of you to clearly realize that we just tied the score, not the lead, nor did we win the championship. We are facing Spain, the most powerful football world today. Faced with such a team, even if we lead two goals, there is no guarantee of winning the 10th. What's more, we are just tied the opponent now, what's there to be happy about?"
Faced with Yang Cheng's shouting, the players were all silent and speechless.
"There are many players in the Spanish team that I have brought out, and they are like people. I know better than you. Don't think that a tie-up can make them feel frustrated and frustrated. I tell you. Go home and do your daydreams in the sky!"
"Our goal, we equalized the score, will only make them more fighting spirit. It will only make them more aggressive and aggressive. I can even tell you that the situation in the second half will be countless times more difficult than in the first half, because they will do their best in the second half. By then, can we still hold on?"
The last question, no one can answer, because they all experienced the first half, but when they thought they were already solid, they were forced to make a bloody hole by Spain, and the opponent scored a key goal from under their noses. Now, what else can they guarantee?
"Our real test. The second half has just officially begun. If you think that after we equalize the score, we can easily win this game. I can tell you that it is ridiculously wrong. Our equalization will put us in a Jedi. If we continue to play the second half according to our performance in the first half, we will lose miserably!"
Yang Cheng's almost pessimistic and desperate statement surprised all the German players present, but no one could refute it, because in the past three games, they have lost to Spain, and each game has lost 0:1, and there are even many games that have lost completely, which makes them deeply feel the strength of Spain.
"Guys!" After Yang Chengzhao slapped their arrogance, he began to prepare to arrange the tactics for the second half. "If we want to win this game, then you all listen to me. In the second half, we must maintain absolute concentration and devote ourselves wholeheartedly. I want each of you to let go of all distracting thoughts and only think about the game. Can you do it?"
Yang Cheng's shouting made many players present stunned for a moment, but soon, they all answered, "Yes!"
In the first half, Yang Cheng's adjustment and command were the key to the team's equalization score. The players knew this more clearly than anyone else, so they now had an inexplicable sense of admiration and dependence on Yang Cheng. They all began to believe that Yang Cheng could lead them to defeat Spain, provided that everything was subject to Yang Cheng's command and arrangements.
"At the beginning of the second half, I don't ask you to fight back. The first thing we need to do is to continue to ensure the stability of our defense, especially after the opponent cuts from the wing to the middle, our defensive system must be changed quickly. Moreover, Tony Klos and Schweinsteiger in the midfield must pay close attention to the team's defensive conversion and provide sufficient protection."
The players listened carefully and kept it firmly in their hearts.
"All our actions in the second half are based on the premise of stable defense. All of you have to remember. If Spain scores again, we will be finished!" Yang Cheng said this sentence very seriously because he hopes that all players can deeply realize the seriousness of this problem.
"On the basis of stable defense, our counterattack continues to adopt our first half strategy. Once the ball is intercepted, whether it is facing the defensive player head-on or holding the ball with his back, you must hold it as first as possible and then pass it. But you must remember that the first consideration after intercepting the ball is to protect the ball. Don't be cut off easily, otherwise our goal will be very dangerous!"
In fact, the strategy given by Yang Cheng is precisely the strategy adopted by many teams when dealing with Real Madrid. The reason is simple. If you fail to counterattack Real Madrid on the spot after intercepting the ball, the counterattacking players in the frontcourt will not have the chance to reach the attack position at all. In this case, counterattacking will not be able to achieve the expected goal.
During the years when Yang Cheng coached Real Madrid, almost all the goals and losses occurred in this situation, but later he learned some experience and arranged methods of confrontation. I just don’t know if Boske could think of it, or if the players also reminded Boske.
Sometimes, the competition between teams that are familiar with each other is so troublesome. Spain has many tactics like Real Madrid, which makes Yang Cheng clear about how to restrain Spain, but Real Madrid players also know Yang Cheng. Once they see Yang Cheng making a move, they all know what is going on and may have strategies to deal with it.
In short, in this kind of confrontation that is really a headache, and you can often only deal with it by chance!
…………
…………
After 15 minutes of halftime break, the two teams returned to the court.
After the start of the second half, Spain continued to take the initiative to attack the German team, Boske obviously hoped to take this opportunity to achieve a dual purpose. One is to use offense to force the German team to shrink, so as to resolve the blow brought by the German team's equalization score as the first half approached.
The second is definitely that I hope to defeat the German team again, and it is best to score directly, so that Spain will establish an advantage again. Bosque will definitely have a better response strategy.
Yang Cheng's team was suppressed by Spain's strong offensive after the game, so he couldn't raise his head. He had to retreat to the front of the penalty area to set up a formation, defending Spain's attack with great confidence.
The practical training is more effective than any drill or training. The first half of the competition has greatly improved the German team's defensive system, because the 11 players of the German team have already had sufficient professional competition experience. They are very clear and understand how to execute the head coach's tactics, and what they lack is tacit understanding.
After 45 minutes, they fully established a certain tacit understanding, and on this basis. In addition, Yang Cheng repeatedly told them to devote themselves to it during the break, so that they could firmly defend the goal after the start of the second half and prevent Spain from having the opportunity to easily tear the German team's defense line.
However, Spain's offensive was so strong. The German team failed to find an opportunity to fight back for a while.
"The situation on the scene is a bit one-sided, but the German team is still struggling to support it. This team is obviously not willing to wait for death and refuses to give up the initiative of the game easily. It is still firmly guarding the goal and prevents Spain from facing the goal easily. This allows Spain to shoot but cannot create a real threat opportunity."
This situation was also seen by Bosque, his assistants, and all the professionals sitting in the stands. They were very clear that if they continued to attack like this, the German team's defense would only become stronger and stronger, and Spain's morale would become increasingly sluggish. In the end, as long as the German team seized another opportunity, the end of the matter might be Spain.
"We can't continue to conquer like this!" Tony Grand said beside Boske.
In countless games, the situation was defeated by one side, but the crazy attack failed to score. In the end, the opponent succeeded in a counterattack. Often, the advantageous side was too fierce and blindly greedy for attack, which pushed the opponent too tightly, causing the opponent to play in a defensive state.
Once this happens, experienced teams usually choose to relax their offensive, retreat, and let the opponent push them out and fight.
There is a saying that is right. If you want to hit your opponent with a strong force, you have to retract your fist first and then hit it hard, which will make it even more powerful. Otherwise, it will not hurt the opponent at all.
After hearing this, Boske nodded, and he also knew this clearly, "But we cannot relax the situation, otherwise you will also see it in the first half. Their counterattack was obviously to seize our loopholes. If we give them another chance, I am worried that the defense line will lose control!"
As for individual defenders, the Spanish defenders are not outstanding, because the principle of building the defense line of all teams is not to find the strongest, but to find the most suitable one, so the Spanish defense line must be like Ramos and Pique.
If they are allowed to face offensive players one-on-one, they will be at a passive disadvantage. This is the warning given to Bosque by the German team's counterattack just now, reminding him that Spain's offense is powerful, but your defense is sometimes like paper.
"Our Caesar is really nothing to say!" Boske praised with a helpless smile.
Both games have caused such a great embarrassment and trouble for Spain, and both games have almost caused a big fall. Boske has to admire Yang Cheng. At least he can lead such a German team to compete with Spain in the current situation. Looking at the current football world, there are only a handful of such famous coaches, and it can even be said to be none.
"Do you remember what Harvey Alonso said?" Tony Grande reminded.
"Yang Cheng once mentioned at Real Madrid that such counterattacks have a critical link. Because our defense line is pressed up and there are many troops invested in the offense, their frontcourt players actively participate in the defense. Once they turn from defense to offense, they need time to move forward."
This is why Sven just now? As a midfielder, Bend insisted on dribbling the ball and pushing forward, which is to create a chance for Ozil and others in front of him. Therefore, as long as he sees through Yang Cheng's strategy, the problem will be solved.
After hearing this, Boske nodded and smiled, "Then inform Ramos and Pique that the defense line should pay attention to the two attackers of the German team, Thomas Muller and Ozil, and then tell us the midfield and frontcourt to increase the investment in counter-attacks on the spot, and don't let our opponents control the ball smoothly!"
Why did Mourinho and others' teams know the problem of Real Madrid but never get rid of Real Madrid?
Because it is already very difficult to control the ball in a high-pressure state where the opponent is intensively fighting on the spot. I also want to observe the running position of the counterattacking players in the frontcourt and then pass the ball smoothly. There are too few such players.
However, if this cannot be done, it is impossible to pass the ball to the front and create opportunities, and the German team's previous counterattack routine would be useless.
Boske's adjustment soon played a role on the court!
Chapter completed!
