If the first half of the game was full of passion, and although it did not have the kind of delicate passes and receiving that were admirable and meticulous, but it was still satisfying to watch, then the performance of the two teams in the second half could be described as relatively dull.

The reason why it is relative is that in the second half, the German team scored another goal.

However, this goal was not so much scored by Germany, but rather by Colombia.

Zapata and Yepes once partnered with central defender in AC Milan. The latter's strength does not need to be doubted, but his height makes him suffer when facing a striker who is taller than him. As for Zapata, it is difficult for him to feel at ease with him from time to time.

Peckerman arranged the combination of Yepes and Zapata in the hope that the two could complement each other, but the wishes were beautiful, but the reality was cruel, especially when he was behind two goals and the situation was always firmly controlled by the German team, the psychology of the Colombian central defender was also undergoing subtle changes.

When he was at Udinese, Zapata's performance made the whole world very optimistic. However, after he switched to Villarreal, he felt serious discomfort like most Serie A defenders who came to La Liga. Moreover, during this period of time with the yellow submarine, he wore off the confidence he had finally established in Serie A.

Although he later switched to AC Milan, his performance never returned to his state when he was in Udinese, not even half. The most important thing is that his confidence has never been recovered.

It was as if when the game reached the 61st minute, the German team made a long pass in the backcourt to look for Gomez. Zapata steadily grabbed the first point and stopped the ball directly and controlled it at his feet. This could have given Colombia an opportunity to organize calmly, but when he saw Gomez start pressing, he hurriedly cleared the ball.

He was eaten solely by Gomez twice in a row, and fell into Gomez's hands many times in this game. Coupled with the years of lack of confidence, Zapata had serious lack of self-confidence, so when he saw Gomez pounce, he was worried and scared. However, this kick was quickly lifted, but he kicked it in a terrible way.

The ball fell to Thomas Muller on the left, who was right between Colombia's defense. After getting the ball, he dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Although Yeppes went forward to block the ball at the first time, Thomas Muller made a cross and moved the ball from the left side of the goal to the right side.

Reus did not waste his teammates' passes, and arrived, and easily pushed the ball into the net, 3:0!

This mistake and the goal loss surprised everyone present. Not only Zapata, but even his teammates, even the German players felt incredible, because this should have been a sure chance. Zapata had many choices, but he chose the most unreasonable one. What's more serious is that he made an unforgivable mistake!

"It's obvious that this is a serious mistake caused by insufficient concentration. Zapata has to bear all the responsibility for this. In this game, he is also the worst player on the Colombian defense line. His three goals conceded are inseparable from him. This may also allow Peckelman to consider the defense line again!"

The on-site commentator said in a sigh after seeing the German team rewrite the score to 3:0.

Originally, everyone was optimistic about Colombia because this team had a Serie A defense line, but who could imagine that this defense line was penetrated by the German team three times in this game. After all, this is just a replica of Colombia in the past decade.

It seems powerful, but once it reaches a critical moment, it always disappoints!

"Zapatta's performance in this game is indeed unconvincing. The German team often looks for Gomez. Zapata lost seven times in 9 direct confrontations with Gomez, two of which also included the mistake just now. This report card is the same as the results obtained by Colombia's striker Falcao."

In the match with the German team's two central defenders, Falcao's one-on-one success rate was 23%, which was similar to Zapata's one-on-one success rate. But you should know that Falcao is a forward and the focus of German team's defense, but Zapata is a central defender. Such a success rate can be said to be extremely bad.

However, the German team's three midfielders suppressed the Colombian midfielder well, especially when passing the ball forward, actively cut off Colombia's pass to Falcao, making it difficult for this traditional shooter to get the ball smoothly in the game.

Falcao is a bit similar to Gomez. Both of them are traditional shooters, and they both need someone to pass the ball to him, rather than scorers like Messi and Ronaldo who can create opportunities by themselves. Therefore, when the passing line is cut, it is difficult for Falcao to pose a threat in front.

Both teams were in the middle, but unlike the German team actively opening the wing, Colombia's wing was firmly suppressed by the German team. The latter, with the three midfielders, obviously more decisively allowed the full-back to participate in the offense, actively opened up the wing attack, and then suppressed Colombia's wing.

Losing the wing and falling into a stalemate again in the middle, you can imagine Colombia's attack.

After scoring the third goal of this game, Yang Cheng also started to make substitutions. He replaced Gomez with Samed Yehill, who scored twice. The latter's outcome won cheers and cheers from all German fans.

He is definitely the best player in the German team in this game, and all of this is closely related to the relaxed space Yang Cheng has created for him.

Samed Yehill replaced Gomez, Schmelzer replaced Ram, Ozil replaced Thomas Mueller, and Yang Cheng's three substitutions were all made one after another. The German team completely controlled the situation. After Colombia lost three goals, his morale was greatly damaged and he could no longer pose a threat to the German team.

This is the first time that Samed Yeshir has made a debut on a big stage like the World Cup. Although Yang Cheng gave him a 25-minute chance to perform, it's a pity that this German young player failed to perform well in the clampdown between Yepas and Zapata.

It turns out that Zapata got two one-on-one confrontation success rates after Yeshir came on the court, which also greatly improved his one-on-one confrontation success rate in this game.

As for Schmelze and Ozil, Yang Cheng is more about finding their state after they come on the court and getting familiar with the rhythm of the game. After all, after 3:0, the German team has already started to slow down... When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, all the German fans stood up together and applauded the team's performance. They were all happy that the team was able to successfully win the first match of the World Cup group stage.

Captain Ram, who was substituted, did not return to the locker room, but stayed on the bench all the time. After the game, he led his teammates to the stands where German fans gathered, thanking this group of fans who supported and encouraged the team throughout the game. This move also won them recognition and cheers from all the fans.

"The game is over. The German team defeated Colombia 3-0 with Gomez's double score and Reus' goal at the New Water Source Stadium in El Salvador. Peckerman's team did not go out of the group's first game as some fans and professionals expected, but suffered a complete defeat!"

"The German team that lost Klose did not show any embarrassment on the offensive end. Gomez's double score proved by facts. The impact of Klose's absence on the German team is not fatal. He will be the most powerful arrow for the German team's offense. He will also be a powerful scorer worthy of everyone's trust and affirmation."

Regarding the words of the live commentator, Klopp, who is responsible for live broadcasting the commentary for Germany, obviously has a completely different view. He believes that Gomez's outstanding performance has nothing to do with the losses caused by Kloser.

"We should see that Gomez did perform very well, and Thomas Mueller and Reus also improved significantly compared to when they played Portugal in the warm-up match, but this cannot be evidence of Klose's lack of loss."

"When a striker like Klose plays a weak team, whether you are playing against Gomez, or even Podolsky and Samed Yeshire, the difference is not obvious, because in my observation, the German team's ability to advance to 32 meters is definitely the first in the world. When facing a weak team, the German team's midfield and backcourt can create endless opportunities."

"In this game, Yang Cheng played Schweinsteiger, Sven Bend and Khedira, but the team still created 17 shots throughout the game and scored only 3 goals, which just proves that we still have many problems in the 32-meter area. Otherwise, we will be able to score more goals and bigger scores!"

"Of course, it's not that Gomez's performance is poor, but this striker cannot replace Klose's position in the national team for the time being. I believe this may not be too obvious in the group stage, but in the knockout stage, in the strong dialogue, when the opponent's targeted defensive tactics are arranged, we will see more clearly!"

As for the host's view of how far the German team can go this time, Klopp said that he was not clear about it and did not dare to make random comments. However, he felt that although Yang Cheng's team did not have Klose, they were still very strong and were still the most powerful contender for the championship... Congratulations, Mr. Yang Cheng!" Although Peckerman lost the ball, he still had a graceful choice to congratulate Yang Cheng.

He lost this game without any unfairly. It was indeed because he and his team were not as good as others, especially when they were not sure at the beginning, which directly led to a full passiveness in the whole game. After the German team scored the second goal, the team's momentum was dispersed by the German team, and even after the game was over, they could not adjust.

"You are very tenacious!" Yang Cheng also smiled and shook hands with Peckelman. After the two of them hugged each other politely and politely, they stood on the sidelines to communicate. "Your biggest problem is mainly psychologically, and they still lack patience and stability."

Peckelman nodded. Sometimes the views from the opponent are more objective and fair, and Yang Cheng's words are also the thing he has always been worried about. The German team defeated Colombia. This psychological factor is also important.

"Adjust the psychological illness of a team is nothing more than those two ways. One is to make the team mature and progress through the accumulation and precipitation of time, and the other is to rely on strong and powerful skills to twist everyone into a rope. The former is no longer suitable for Colombia, and the latter requires you to become stronger!"

Yepas is 38 years old in the middle of Colombia's defense. Even if he works hard and actively, no matter how good his condition is, how long can he play? I guess he will retire after the end of the World Cup. At that time, Colombia's defense will face a new round of turmoil and adjustments.

There are also several midfielders, Falcao, who is 28 years old and is in his peak period. If you miss this period of time, it will be a big loss for players and Colombia.

There is a saying that goes, there will be no such store after passing this village!

When Yang Cheng said this to Peckelman, he was actually not worried that Colombia would pose a threat to the German team, or that he even wanted to encounter Colombia again, because that would mean that the German team could move forward smoothly.

In his opinion, Colombia seems to have a strong lineup. In fact, its weaknesses are very obvious. Compared with the German team's overall lineup, it is difficult for Colombia to get a bargain from the German team. There is a big gap in the strength of the two teams.

"Come on, Mr. Peckelman!" Yang Cheng patted Peckelman on the shoulder, turned around and left.

Colombia lost to Germany in the first game of the group stage 0:3. Colombia can be said to be forced into a desperate situation. If Peckerman is bold enough, he may be able to lead the team from the group, but it is hard to say how far he can go, but if Peckerman is not bold enough, Colombia's World Cup journey will stop in the group stage... Colombia's strength is not as bad as the scores show. This is a team with strong strength. Our game is not as easy as many people imagine!"

At the press conference after the game, when Yang Cheng asked reporters about his views on this game, he did not belittle the opponent at all because of his big victory over his opponent, which made Peckelman, who was sitting next to him, secretly grateful.

At least, Yang Cheng is doing his best to help Colombia and his face.

"I am very satisfied with the performance of the players. I think every player of our game is very focused on executing the team's tactics. This is the basis for our victory. The key to our victory is that we successfully dragged the game into a rhythm that Colombia is not familiar with, and used the rhythm to defeat the opponents so that they did not show their due strength."

"This is not easy for us, because our opponent is a very capable South American team, but I'm very happy that we did a good job and achieved good results."

Faced with Yang Cheng's analysis, the reporters at the scene also gave high affirmation. The German team strictly played a good goal in the first half. In the first half, the German team's offense was very impactful and had good viewing, but in the second half, the game seemed boring.

However, compared with Brazil, the United States, or Spain, the performance of the German team in this game is at least not disappointing.

"It is very important for our team to get these three points. I repeatedly emphasized before the game that this is a crucial game for us, not only related to the three points, but also to the team's qualifying, but also to the team's morale and start."

"Four years ago, we had a lot of problems in the World Cup. We didn't play well in the group stage and some problems also happened. I told my players that I don't want them to be affected by four years ago. We are not the team four years ago. We don't need to prove anything anymore. I hope they put down their burdens and compete."

"But I have always told them that we lost to Spain in the final four years ago. Since then, I believe that although we have achieved good results in the past four years, we always seem to have lost something and something."

"This time, we are participating in the World Cup again. We only have one goal, that is, to get back what we lost four years ago. We want to fill the shortcomings in the hearts of each of us over the past four years. We want to prove ourselves with a championship. This is the best way for us to waste the shame four years ago!"

"Of course, I believe my players are also clear. To do this, we need to do our best in every game, and we need to work together. Only by getting the right attitude can we laugh to the end!"

After losing the World Cup four years ago, Yang Cheng shouted that he would win the championship four years later. Now Germany is the number one favorite to win the World Cup. At this time, no one would suspect that Yang Cheng was arrogant and arrogant when he shouted the slogan of winning the championship.

And now the team is in good morale, Yang Cheng feels it is necessary to burn the hearts of all players at this time, so that they can once again ignite the determination after losing the final four years ago.

A reporter asked about Klose at the scene. The German striker sat in the stands accompanied by his teammates. A reporter met him outside the court. Seeing that he was no longer using crutches, he asked about Yang Cheng's situation about Klose.

"We are not sure when he will return to the field for the time being. Although we all desire to be as soon as possible, this requires respect for the team doctor's decision. I believe that Klose himself is eager to return to the field. I am very confident in him, and our locker room is optimistic about it. Everyone is a united whole, and we are all waiting for his return moment!"
