Before the final, when Yang Cheng received a report from Walfat about Kyle's injury, he had two options in front of him. One was to replace Kyle with Mertesack and partner with Hummels with central defender, and the second was to use Bad Stuber.

The national team coaching staff has a lot of debate on who will replace Kyle, because they all think that Bad Stuber can't fully realize defense at least, but Mertsack is a central defender who is good at stability, and he and Hummels can form a good complementary central defender combination.

However, Yang Cheng put forward a guess, which made everyone give up on persistence.

"In this game, we will definitely be beaten by Spain to retreat at all. Apart from retreating, we have no way to stop Spain's increasingly skilled attacking tactics. Their mercury penetration is like a ground-breaking penetration, as long as there is a little space, we cannot defend it. We can only retreat and defend against their lack of frontcourt fulcrum."

"However, if we retreat all the way, the team will lose the weapon of effective propulsion at the tactical level, especially when all our counterattack methods are contained by the opponent, we need a player to attack from the backcourt, which will become the key to our winning of this game!"

Hummels is also an excellent long-range passer, but first of all, his accuracy is not enough, and secondly, he needs space and time. In other words, he is a long passer that needs to be brewed and observed before making a foot. This takes a while for him to pass from getting the ball to passing, and during this period, the opponent may have already pressed him forward.

Therefore, Yang Cheng proposed to use Badstuber because he hopes that Badstuber can form double insurance with Hummels, just as he always uses left and right sides to attack the opponent's defense line in front. In addition, Klose, the German team's counterattack route can even be said to be double insurance.

Unexpectedly, Yang Cheng’s pre-match guess really turned into reality at the end of the game!

This time, after Badstuber dunked over Iniesta, he rubbed out the ultra-long-range missile with his left foot, and drew a graceful parabola from the middle of the backfield, he fell straight to the left side of the frontcourt, and fell behind Aveloa and Thomas Muller.

Thomas Muller had already chosen to press on the ball after the team intercepted the ball and stuck it into Aveloa. When he leaned sideways and waited for the pass from the backcourt, he suddenly urged his fastest speed, crossed Aveloa in an instant, and used his explosive power and speed in a short time to surpass Espanyol.

But Aveloa has a lot of experience. He knew that Thomas Muller's explosive power and speed were good. He had no choice but to fight him in this regard, so he did not choose to compete for speed, but chose to cut in. When Thomas Muller got the ball firmly in Spain's 32-meter area, he happened to keep up with Thomas Muller, and the position was on the way to cut in the latter.

Thomas Mueller had no choice but to stop the ball, and he deliberately paused, and then controlled the ball first.

Klose had also caught up from behind, followed by Ramos and Pique, but right at the front of the penalty area, Klose did not choose to continue to go deeper into the penalty area, but pulled to the left.

Thomas Muller immediately passed the ball to the bottom line of the left road. Klose also arrived and stopped the ball. Ramos behind him had blocked his turning angle and prevented him from easily entering the penalty area, because the Spanish central defender was more clear than anyone else, allowing a killer like Klose to enter the penalty area. The danger is too great.

Pique also returned to the left side of the penalty area to block, preventing Klose and Thomas Mueller from posing a threat. Miguel Torres on the right was looking at Podolski, but just when the Spanish defense seemed to have blocked the German team's counterattack, Klose suddenly dribbled the ball and retreated along the left and headed straight for Aveloa.

As soon as Aveloa saw Klose coming towards him, he threw away Thomas Muller as soon as he chose to block Klose with Ramos because there was also Pique standing in the left corner of the penalty area, and the midfielders were already in place.

Klose's ball was passed to Thomas Mueller's feet. Mueller took the ball directly to Pique, but he did not choose to dribble the ball himself, but instead drove the ball horizontally and passed it from the front of the penalty area to the middle.

At this moment, I saw a player wearing a white German team jersey catching up quickly from behind, intercepting Thomas Mueller's pass from the front, and took it into the penalty area and cut into the loophole in the Spanish defense. As soon as I entered the penalty area, Casillas took the lead and shot calmly and decisively.

The ball was from Casillas' right side at an extremely fast speed, almost pressing against the turf, and quickly penetrated into the goal behind him!

Facing this sudden Thunder shot, Casillas didn't even have time to react. As soon as he turned around, he saw that the ball had already entered the net.

Everyone looked at this scene in amazement. They looked at the person who was kicking in disbelief. After completing the shot, he fell to his knees in the penalty area, bent his waist, and lit his head on the grass in the penalty area. Everyone could only see the number on his back, 13!

The live commentator was silent, and all the fans in the stands were silent. Many of them suddenly felt like they were knocked on, because they actually discovered that at the critical moment, the person they had been suspicious and criticizing for so long.

Their captain, Michel Barak!

After Barack took the field, everyone can feel the changes in this German team again. They can feel that the players have become more cohesive because of the return of the captain. Moreover, Barack's every move on the court has also affected and infected his teammates.

From the league to preparations to the European Cup, we have played so many games. Even if the players are playing hard, they have almost exhausted their bodies. This game has been dominated by Spain. Now the 90-minute game is about to end. The players of both teams can be said to have fought for the last breath.

Why does Yang Cheng not like to play overtime? Because he knows that overtime is actually not technical and tactical, but rather depends on who has a stronger willpower, who has stronger spiritual strength, and who can make fewer mistakes when his physical fitness has been overdrawn. Whoever can laugh to the end.

He doesn't like this kind of game that is too risky. It's a choice that he is forced to accept when he has no other choice. Now he still has to choose, so he has to use Barack to try it out. First, use Barack's spiritual power to stabilize the team and drive the team, and second, use his experience to help the team.

Now, it is obvious that Yang Cheng's idea has been reflected. After Barack took the field, his contribution to the team is obvious to all.

The group of fans in the stands were stunned for several seconds when Barack scored, and then some shouts sparsely sounded, but they were quick and louder and louder. Finally, all the German fans in the audience were shouting Barack's name.

At this moment, Barack once again became the hero of German football!

"It's very, very admirable. This German team has played until the 86th minute. They finally completed an epic reversal, but more importantly, the one who scored the reversal for the German team was their captain, Michel Barak!"

Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of German fans, the entire German team's goal process was constantly replaying on the big screen of the stadium. Everyone can clearly see how the German team scored goals through the big screen.

"Badstuber's long pass was very accurate, which fully reflects the player's outstanding vision and technical skills, especially after he dunked Iniesta, he quickly completed the pass. The whole process showed an impressive ability."

"After the cooperation between Klose and Thomas Mueller almost made people suspect that the German team's counterattack could not be fought. In the end, Barack's decisive forwarding gave the German team a last chance to make a final decision!"

"We can't say that this goal made the German team surpass Spain, because the latter's strength even if they really lost this game in the end, we have to admit that they are still the strongest team in the world. But we can be sure that this German team is definitely the most difficult to deal with."

"The whole game was suppressed by Spain, and the whole game was in a passive state of being beaten. However, the German team made two beautiful counterattacks and pierced through Spain's goal twice. What's even more rare is that both of them were completed before the half-time was about to end, which fully reflects the German team's tenacious fighting spirit and victory, as well as their amazing fighting will."

The Spanish players all looked disappointed, but Bosque was already standing on the sidelines, desperately shouting at the players, demanding that all players cheer up again.

Immediately afterwards, Spain made its last two substitutions, and these two substitutions fully demonstrated Bosque's determination to go all out. He replaced Aveloa with Navas, and then replaced Pique with Lorent, which obviously wanted to use Lorent as the frontcourt fulcrum to beat the German team's defense.

But Yang Cheng quickly made adjustments. He replaced Klose, who was already exhausted, and strengthened his defense, allowing Mertesac to look at Lorent one-on-one, while the others further strengthened Spain's wing defense.

One of the important reasons why Boske has been reluctant to use Lorente is that Lorente's appearance will disrupt the fluency of Spain's midfield and frontcourt offense, because his tall and strong figure and lack of technical skills, he has never been able to complete seamless connection with Spanish frontcourt players in terms of flexibility and passing and receiving.

When he got on Lorent, it means that Spain's offense will be transferred from the original middle lane to the wing lane. This is also the reason why Bosque replaced Navas. He wanted to make a final effort to get a goal from the German team and drag the game into stoppage time.

Barack began to command his teammates constantly. He was waiting on the court and shouted at his teammates, demanding that all of them must be careful in their posts and must not relax in the last second.

The German team began to retreat across the board, while Spain launched a crazily attack. In the last 5 minutes, both teams fully demonstrated their tenacity of not admitting defeat, especially Spain, who almost ignored the defense behind them, and even Casillas rushed to the front and participated in the attack directly.

The Spanish fans in the stands were also very infectious. They all hoped that their team would not give up because the game was not over yet, so they must continue to persevere. Keep working hard and strive for goals.

In normal times, no one cares about it. If you squander it, you will squander it. But at this moment, every minute and every second, the players of both teams cherish it very much, wishing that every minute and every second could be extended into an hour, or even a day.

But the cruel time still reached the end ruthlessly!

When the time on the big red scoreboard in the stands steadily jumped into the 93rd minute, the referee on the scene blew the whistle to the end of the game, and all the German fans in the stands rushed out of their seats, shouting loudly and cheering.

"The competition is over!" The on-site commentator seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The last 7 minutes were a torment for anyone, because both sides tried their best and all tried their best.

So much so that when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, almost all the players on both sides fell on the grass. They had no extra strength to move, and they wanted to lie down or sit on the grass, silently listening to the sounds and movements coming from their ears, and silently feeling their mood at this moment.

Spain lost!

But the Spanish players did not cry, just sat on the grass expressionlessly, watching silently.

Barack struggled to stand up from the grass. Although he had not had much time to play, he had tried his best to do his last bit, and even his legs were shaking slightly, making it difficult to see whether he was excited or because of overdrawing his physical strength, but everyone could vaguely see a drop of crystal clearness from his eyes.

He won the championship in the club. It was when Kaiserslautern led by Yang Cheng. He reached the peak of professional players and won the unique triple-champion in German football in history, which made his career a regret. However, in the national team, he always missed the championship honors.

The runner-up again and again made him completely numb, making him feel that his life might be missed with the national team's honor. This has become his biggest regret in his life. Even after a dispute with Loeff and some teammates, he was completely desperate about winning the national team's honor again.

But he will always remember that he is Barack, he has his persistence and principles, and he has his own pride, so even if he regrets, he must stick to his bottom line and insist on what he thinks is right.

Yang Cheng, the most respected head coach in his life, once again saved him in his most difficult time!

Entering the national team again and playing in the European Cup again, it can be said that he was able to have the gift of Yang Cheng at this moment, which made him struggle to stand up from the grass, walk all the way to the coaching area, and go straight to the Yang Cheng who was already excited and waving his arms constantly.

"Thank you, boss!" Barack stood in front of Yang Cheng. At this moment, he let his tears slide down his face without hesitation, because at this moment, he was like the child from Chemnitz Team 2 who stood in front of Yang Cheng 17 years ago.

Time has changed, environment has changed, everything has changed, but some things have never changed!

Yang Cheng smiled, opened his arms, and hugged Barak into his arms. The latter was lying on Yang Cheng's shoulder at this moment, crying loudly, just like a child, but his crying was not sad, sad, only joy, only joy, but more of gratitude and gratitude.

Without Yang Cheng, there would be no Barack!

Without Yang Cheng, there would be no German national team today!

After more than ten years of the championship, the hard pursuit of two or three generations of players, at this moment, in Yang Cheng's hands, it finally became a reality and an iron-like fact. This scene made countless German fans waiting in front of the TV empathize with it, and they all had the urge to cry with Barack and cry loudly together.

"This scene is definitely the most touching scene on this European Cup!"

"Barak will leave us after the end of this European Cup. Yang Cheng once said that football owes Barak a national team championship. After he took charge of the German national team, he promised to bring a championship to his beloved disciple and give his career a successful end."

"We cannot experience the sincere master-apprentice friendship between Yang Cheng and Barack, and we cannot appreciate the excitement in the hearts of the two of us at this moment, but we can say with certainty that this scene will inevitably touch all the world and all those who love football!"

"This game and this championship made Yang Cheng one of the greatest head coaches in German football history. This is not only because he is the biggest contributor to the revival of German football, but also because he brought the first championship to the revival of German football and laid a solid foundation!"

"We have absolutely reason to believe that under the leadership of Yang Cheng, this young German team will become more and more outstanding and stronger. After winning this year's European Cup, the German team will also represent Europe to Brazil in the Federation Cup next year. We also wish Yang Cheng and his team to continue to win the championship honor in national team competitions!"

When talking about this, the live commentator watched Yang Cheng hugging and celebrating with German players one by one on the court, saying with a bit of sigh, "Many people say that in Germany, football is the belief with the most believers, and now, we can also say that if football is a belief of the Germans, then he, Caesar Yang Cheng, is the god who German football believes in!"
