1043 Never Give Up
There is no doubt that as a veteran with more than ten years of career, Klose is very familiar with his body and knows very well how to use his body to play football.
So for a long time, he can use the information conveyed by his body and his many years of rich game experience to determine whether his movement can achieve the purpose he expects to get.
When he saw Ram's cross coming to him, he knew very well that Ram's pass was definitely for him. With his speed and consciousness, he would definitely be able to catch up. The key is that he caught up with the subsequent shooting.
The shooting skills and movements that have been practicing repeatedly in the past decade have all come to his mind in an instant. Although he has expressed very affirmatively that after this summer, all of this will leave him forever, out of habit, he is still very clear about all this and vividly remembered.
Moving forward, stepping, swinging your feet, everything was exactly the same as usual. He was extremely familiar with all this, as if it was no different from the past, and as long as it was the same as the past, this shot would definitely be able to hit.
But just when Klose swung his foot and tried to hit it hard, he felt for no reason that something seemed to have been sucked by his knees, which was slightly, but he felt it very deeply, which made him feel for no reason. Is it a problem with the meniscus? Did he exert too much force and get hurt again?
It is impossible to put down the swinged foot, and it is impossible to stop the momentum. However, Klose's sudden panic made him suddenly want to stop the momentum, but the result was that the shot did not put much force into the shot and the speed became very slow. In the end, Romero occupied the position in time and hugged the shot steadily.
As a goalkeeper, Romero could feel that the shot didn't have much force at all. So when he was crawling on the ground, he looked up at Klose, who was dull. The latter looked like a person who had lost his inch and stood there at a loss.
Everyone looked at this scene in amazement. They were all wondering. This should have been a sure-fire opportunity to score, but why did Klose missed it in vain? Has he forgotten how to shoot?
Not only the uproar fans felt unbelievable, but even the German internationals were unbelievable because they could not imagine that Klose actually shot a shot that any professional player should be able to hit the goalkeeper!
Yang Cheng looked at the beloved disciple who was standing straight on the court, with no blame in his eyes. There was only pity.
"Maybe, I'm too hard!" Yang Cheng sighed.
Anyone who has just passed a serious injury and surgery like Klose will definitely leave some shadows. This can only be recovered by time, but Yang Cheng wants him to recover in such a short time, which is impossible!
It is not a question of whether there is certainty or whether Klose has determination, but a shadow in the subconscious power!
It’s like a person breaking his leg just now. When it happened, he still didn’t dare to step on it because he was worried that after he stepped on it, he didn’t know if his leg would break again. It took some time to slowly adapt and slowly recover the trauma in his heart.
Once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years!
The game was also over with Klose's shot!
In the last moment, with its excellent defense, the German team resolved the crisis brought by Argentina's counterattack again and again, and finally defeated Argentina 3-0 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. This time, the German team's opponent in the semi-finals was an old enemy in the past few years. Spain!
Brazil defeated Plandelli's Italy 2-1 with a controversial goal and further reached the semi-finals. Their opponent was England led by Hodgson.
Many people say that England is a typical overrated team, but this does not mean that this team has no combat effectiveness. On the contrary, England's major competitions have always been very good, especially the England coached by Hodgson, which adopts more of the ** silk style and defensive counterattack tactics, which is often effective.
The German team defeated Chile and Argentina in the knockout round, which was a bit like a South American killer, resulting in three European teams in the semi-finals. However, as early as the schedule was arranged, the organizing committee had already considered a problem, so they arranged the two Brazilian strongest competitors, Germany and Spain, to the same region.
In this way, unless Brazil capsizes its gutter, it will have to wait until the finals if it encounters these two strong competitors.
As for Germany and Spain, they finally fought to the death in the semi-finals as everyone expected.

"What we face this time is a strong German team. They are very competitive, play very well, and are in excellent condition, creating more opportunities, especially in the first half and relatively fewer second half, but this team has strong control."
At the post-match press conference, Argentine head coach Savilla praised the German team led by Yang Cheng very well in an interview with reporters. He said that he would bear all the responsibility for this loss, and also congratulated the German team on his successful advance to the semi-finals.
"The German team's playing style is very commendable. They always have enough methods and tricks to make it difficult for opponents to perform their losses, and they can always play wonderful scenes. They have always been very outstanding teams, but more importantly, they have a very great head coach, which is the basis for them to come to this day!"
"We do have many problems in the midfield, which is not something that we have today. As early as before, from the Maradona period to the Batista period, we all had such problems. We have been trying to find solutions to the problems, but sometimes we solve them well, and sometimes we are dragged down by the problems."
"We have exposed the same problems as this game in the past, but our opponents were unable to seize these problems in time to create opportunities, so we were able to escape unscathed, but this time, the German team took advantage of these problems well."
"I don't want to say more about specific things to the outside world. I will solve these problems in the locker room, but what I want to say is that discovering problems is the prerequisite for all teams to solve problems. At least we have already made it clear what should we do next!"
"The biggest favorite to win the championship?" When Savilla was asked this question, he expressed his affirmatively. "There is no doubt that the German team is the number one favorite in this World Cup. I am very optimistic about Caesar's team. I believe they will definitely be able to laugh to the end!"
Faced with the praise from Savilla, Yang Cheng gave a polite response, "I think the Argentina problem will definitely be solved well. We are lucky in today's game. If we play another game, the result may not be so!"
"Savilia's team caused us a lot of trouble in the second half, but I'm glad that our defense protected our goal well and ultimately avoided losing the ball, which made us extremely proud because we are the only team that has not lost the ball so far in the World Cup. But we won't be proud and complacent about it, and for us, it's just a gift!"
A reporter raised his hand and got permission and stood up. "Mr. Yang Cheng, Klose finally made a comeback in the World Cup, but his first game after his comeback was not satisfactory, especially the shot before the end of the game. I don't know what you think about this?"
Yang Cheng smiled, waved his hand, and signaled that the reporter could sit down. Then he pulled the microphone over and thought about it before speaking.
"I know everyone is concerned about Klose's situation, but I ask you the other way around, do you think, for a player who has been away from the injury for several months and finally defeated the disease and returned to the court, what kind of performance do you want him to perform?"
Speaking of this, Yang Cheng smiled, "I know, some of you always like to compare Cloze and Ronaldo. Both of these players were my players. I think they are completely incomparable!"
"Ronnie is a player with excellent talent and talent. I even suspect that he is not a Earthling, so he can score goals every time he returns after injury, or even score twice, so he is Ronaldo, a phenomenal great star, but that is Ronaldo, and we are talking about Klose now!"
"Klose is a player with little talent. What he can do today is not because of his outstanding talent, but because of his diligence and studious and hard work. So Ronaldo participated in the World Cup when he was 18 years old, but Klose has to wait until he is 24 years old to play for the German team. This is the difference between the two!
"I know, you like comparison, because there is controversy, and there is controversy, and there is gimmick to sell. But I think..." Yang Cheng raised his head and looked at everyone present with a serious but sincere look on his face. "... Everyone, we are discussing two different types of strikers, but equally great, one of them has left us, and the other is about to leave us!"
"I'm wondering whether as a professional footballer, a professional media person, or a fan, should we look at these players with a more tolerant standard? Should we abandon the commentary standards of the past and agree with two equally great strikers instead of always raising one and stepping on the other?"
These words were also remarks that Yang Cheng had mentioned many times before, because he knew that after today, there would definitely be many people who would give new doubts and doubts about Klose, but there would definitely be someone who would support him. Yang Cheng hoped that the latter would be more and the former would be less, so as to create a relaxed environment for Klose as much as possible.
As for the standards for looking at old players, this situation has always existed. At least, look at how many great players who were energetic when they were young were completely thrown into the cold palace by forgetful fans after they got old and were given various titles and hats.
If it is fair, this is understandable, but the problem is that the media's inspiration has caused this group of fans who cannot understand the real situation to make a fuss, and in the end it turns into a one-sided suppression.
This is an information explosion but seriously lacks the ability to think!
…………
…………
Yang Cheng's appeal had a huge effect. At least in the major mainstream media the next day, what can be seen is a more tolerant attitude, and they all quoted Yang Cheng's words.
"Milo is the biggest victory for us to be able to come back!"
This also made Klose, who had woken up early and looked through the newspapers provided by the hotel, felt a little touched.
Of course, he knew his problem, and he also knew clearly that Yang Cheng was willing to risk his crimes and multimedia. The purpose was to gain him a more relaxed environment. He did not want Klose to leave the football world with regret. He hoped that his love would retire in a more glamorous and decent way.
So. Yang Cheng firmly arranged him on the 23-man list, so Yang Cheng is now doing this.
"I owe too much!" Klose raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said word by word.
His wife Sylvia pulled Cloze aside. She could feel the respect her husband had for Yang Cheng, and she also knew that in the past period of time, Yang Cheng had been supporting and encouraging her husband to make him come to this day.
"It's already here, don't give up easily!" Sylvia said, encouraging her husband.
Klose nodded. He would not give up easily, absolutely not!
After eating, he went directly to the hotel gym and conducted separate training here. Especially for the exercises between his legs and knees, he knew that it was the hidden danger here, which led to a deviation when he was shooting.
Just as Fanny said, for a player who has grown up and has completely set up his technical movements, the greatest significance of training is no longer to improve one's own strength, but to make oneself more confident in one aspect.
Just like speed training, how much can you improve even if you practice hard?
The purpose of training is not to increase your speed much, but to become more skilled and confident in using speed, which can allow you to better perform your speed in the game.
Klose sat on the fitness equipment and repeatedly swayed his legs. The posture seemed to be conducting shooting training. Through this action, he kept familiar with this right leg that had just undergone a major operation. He hoped to learn more from this leg.
As a professional player for many years, Kloze is clear about the problems he is facing now. He also knows that his legs have recovered, so the coaching staff will allow him to play, but his biggest problem is no longer physical, but mental. He must overcome this before he can go back to the past.
He practiced his legs repeatedly, especially his right leg. Klose was already sweating profusely, but he had no intention of stopping because he felt that he could continue to persevere.
Yang Cheng also received news that Klose was training alone in the gym. At this time, he was having a meeting with his coaching staff. The next game he had to face Bosque's Spain, which would be a big challenge for the German team, a very big challenge.
Even though the German team is performing very well now, no one is sure to defeat Spain because this team has the most powerful star lineup on the planet. Who dares to say that they can win them?
"Do you want it? I'll go and persuade him?" Paul Bayer saw Yang Cheng frowned, thinking that he was worried that Klose would hurt him, so he volunteered to ask.
Yang Cheng shook his head, "No need, he has a sense of his own. He knows what he needs, so let him adjust slowly by himself!"
He has been playing for so many years. If Klose still doesn't understand these things, then he is not Klose.
Yang Cheng believes that after the short 20 minutes of Argentina's game, Klose must have been stimulated. For such a professional player who has been playing football for more than ten years, 20 minutes are short, but it is enough to resonate with his body, allowing him to find the familiar feeling he had when he played football.
Perhaps, the body no longer allows Klose to go back to before the injury, but Yang Cheng still believes that even if he cannot go back to before the injury, a Klose can still bring enough contributions to the German team, because Klose has never relied on his body to play football. He relies more on his brain and his wisdom, and all this will not leave with the body or with the injury. So now, the most important thing for him is to find the rhythm of the game again and break his own psychological pressure.
"In the next game, play Spain, continue to put Klose on the bench!" Yang Cheng thought for a while and said.
The members of the coaching team all looked at Yang Cheng, and there were only 7 people on the bench, each representing the team's weapon to cope with changes. Now that Yang Cheng puts Klose in, it is equivalent to allowing the team to lose another change. If Klose was Klose before being injured, there was nothing to say, but the problem is that Klose's situation is not optimistic now.
Seeing his assistants staring at him one by one, Yang Cheng smiled confidently, "I believe he will be able to recover. I have confidence in him, and you must also have confidence in me!"
After hearing this, all the coaching staff members couldn't help but laugh. These people have been cooperating with Yang Cheng for so many years, and of course they know this guy's temper and personality. If he said that, it means that Klose must be good, otherwise, Yang Cheng would not give up.
"I really have no way to deal with you!" Benitez shook his head and said with a smile, "I hope Klose will not disappoint you again this time!"
"I never doubted this!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Perhaps this may be a bit unreasonable, a little stubborn, or even stubborn, but Yang Cheng really believes that Klose can help the team, not only because he has led Klose for many years, but also because he knows Klose.
After working hard for so many years, I finally survived until now. Kloze hopes to contribute to the team more than anyone else!
