And Kaiserslautern has created a youth storm in Germany and even Europe this season, and Kaiserslautern is a very strong team in terms of offense no matter in the Bundesliga or in the UEFA Cup. Everyone analyzes this game to see who can do better in what they are best at.

Whether the spear pierced the shield, or the shield broke the spear.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon on April 4th, at the Friuli Stadium in Udine, Italy, players from both sides had already stood in their positions, waiting for the referee's whistle to sound.

In today's game, Jiang Feng also sent his strongest lineup, the goalkeeper Cech, the back line from left to right are Evra, Metzelder, Coloccini, Alves, and the two defenders The midfielders are De Rossi and Gattuso, the forward midfielder Kaka, the left and right wingers are Saviola and Quaresma, and the center Ibrahimovic.

Udinese's starting lineup is goalkeeper Tulsi, the four defenders are Toledo, Sodir, Manfredini, Bertoto, the two midfielders are Poggi and Van der Wijkt, and the two forwards It's Fiore and Martin Jorgensen, midfielder Locatelli, striker is Maggiota, Udinese coach De Canio sent a very typical defensive formation 451, it seems that he has studied it seriously Kaiserslautern.

Soon the referee standing near the middle circle communicated with the fourth official on the sidelines, and immediately blew the whistle to start the game.

Kaiserslautern, who grabbed the offensive ball, took the lead to kick off.

After the game started, the tactics of the two sides were clear from the situation on the field. Udinese resolutely played a defensive counterattack even if they were at home, while Kaiserslautern continued to face each other at the beginning of the game. The defensive line launched a fierce attack.

However, Jiang Feng's tactics are not mindless offense. He also knows that with the opponent's defense, Kaiserslautern may not score soon, and according to the information collected by the team from Udinese It shows that the opponent's counterattack is very sharp. In the last round of Eindhoven's two games, both of the goals conceded were hit by Udinese's counterattack. Therefore, before the start of the game today, Jiang Feng asked the players to If you lose the possession of the ball when attacking, you must start a counter-grab on the spot to slow down the speed of the opponent's counterattack, and if you really can't do it in the midfield, you will decisively foul and disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

The situation of the game was just as Jiang Feng expected before the game. The game had started less than 15 minutes ago. Kaiserslautern did not find a good opportunity to open the situation, but Jiang Feng's anti-counterattack arrangement was also very effective. The high-intensity pressing and even fouls that started on the field made Udinese's counterattack unable to exert its strength at all, and there was no rhythm at all.

However, Jiang Feng, who had been frowning on the sidelines, soon discovered a weakness of Udinese. I don't know how De Canio thought about it. Jiang Feng found that the opponent's two midfielders obviously lacked tacit understanding. There have been many small mistakes in the cooperation between individuals. Although it seems that these mistakes have not had a big impact on the overall situation, Jiang Feng feels that this can be used.

Thinking of taking advantage of the dead ball, Jiang Feng waved at Kaka on the court, and then whispered a few words to Kaka on the sidelines.

In fact, when Jiang Feng saw the formation formed by De Canio today, Jiang Feng still felt very strange. He always thought it was De Canio's trump card, because according to the information collected by Jiang Feng on Udinese, this The 451 formation with double midfielders is rarely seen in Udinese's games this season. This season Udinese is more of a peculiar 41311 formation, but today it is a 42211 formation.

In fact, as Jiang Feng observed, in all the games of the past season, De Canio's lineup was a single defensive midfielder. In the position of the avant-garde, and today may be because of concerns about Kaiserslautern's attack, De Canio put Van der Wijkt in the position of the midfielder, which made Van der Wijkt very uncomfortable, so it also caused There was a problem with the cooperation between him and another midfielder Porgy.

De Canio on the other side of the court also saw the player's mistakes, but he was confident that this problem would slowly disappear as the game developed, and he would soon regret having such thoughts.

After receiving Jiang Feng's advice, Kaka returned to the game and changed his style of play. In the past 20 minutes, Kaka was mainly passing the ball in the midfield, but after the restart , Kaka began to consciously break through with the ball in the midfield, and the point of his breakthrough was chosen in the middle of the opponent's two midfielders.

In the 27th minute of the game, Kaka once again received a pass from Gattuso in the middle circle, and then immediately began to advance with the ball, and decisively started towards the middle area where the opponent's two midfielders stood. advance.

Sure enough, there was a problem with the tacit understanding between the two. As an authentic midfielder, Porgy chose to step forward immediately to intercept, and if Van der Wijkt and Porgy cooperated tacitly, they should focus on defending Kaka's passing route at this time, but No one expected that when Porgy made a move, Van der Wijkt also made the same choice as Porgy. Both of them were going to step forward to do the same thing, that is to say, Kaka took the ball in the center forward alone. It attracted the attention of two people on the field, and this is not the most uncomfortable thing. The most uncomfortable thing for De Canio is that when the two people stopped halfway to intercept, they appeared. The action of giving in to each other.

This was a catastrophe for Udinese, because at this moment Kaka directly dribbled the ball through between the two people, and immediately got rid of Udinese's two midfielders. In other words, Kaka's attack, Udinese's two midfielders have no effect at all.

As for a team with 94 points in terms of tacit tactical understanding, the other players don't need to command at all, and they all start to perform their own duties. Kaka dribbles the ball at high speed and is about to reach the top of the arc. Run, took away one of the central defenders, and when Kaka dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, a fake shot made the other central defender fall to the ground and made an interception, and then Kaka dodged it with a buckle Position, swinging his thigh again to prepare to shoot. This action also made the central defender who was following Ibrahimovic turn around and prepare to block the hole. Moreover, Kaka’s shooting action tricked the goalkeeper into changing his center of gravity. No one expected this. The second Kaka kicked the ball, but unfortunately it was not a shot but a pass. A light half-high ball was sent to the unguarded Ibrahimovic.

The next thing was much simpler. Facing the goalkeeper who had lost his center of gravity, the ball was very simple for Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic pushed the back of his right foot lightly, and the football rolled into the goal.

1 to 0, Kaiserslautern took a one-goal lead in the 29th minute of the game.
