There is a dream called football

Chapter 383 Showing weakness is a routine

"The game starts, the German team's starting lineup is."

"The goalkeeper is Lehmann from Arsenal, who is also Li Qiao's teammate. With his excellent performance at Arsenal last season, he finally squeezed out Kahn and became Germany's number one national goalkeeper."

"At the back, the left back is Lahm, the two centre-backs are Metzelder and Mertesacker."

"Right back is Friedrich."

"Midfield is Ballack, Frings, Snyder, Schweinsteiger."

"The two strikers are Miroslav Klose and Podolski."

This is also the strongest main lineup of the German team. The camera sweeps and shows Klinsmann with a stern expression on his face.

Because for Germany, qualifying in the group is just a pass, and it is reasonable to enter the quarterfinals. Their goal is the final in Berlin.

After the opening game, the Chinese team still faced off with five defenders and set up an iron bucket formation, hoping not to concede the ball first, and then just figure it out.

But at this time the German team's style of play was too domineering.

In fact, the way German football is played has undergone a change. In 2018, the German football that faced South Korea like Spanish football is different from the traditional German football at this time.

At this time, German football is simple and straightforward. There are unreasonable long-range shots in front of the penalty area, and it is impossible to pass them back and forth.

Therefore, in front of German football at this time, the Chinese team feels like it has been penetrated even if it is intensively defending.

Ballack shot an unreasonable burst in front of the penalty area, and the ball flew out of the baseline roaring.

Liu Yunfei jumped and missed the ball.

There was a loud sound of regret at the Allianz Arena, creating a sound wave similar to that felt when a Boeing plane took off.

Then Frings made another burst shot. In the game against Costa Rica, Frings scored a burst shot, but this time it missed a little bit.

The aggressiveness of the German team after the opening is to tell the Chinese team that defense is useless in front of the German attack.

Huang Jianxiang said nervously: "The German team's offense is simple, but the efficiency is too high."

"Three long-range shots are quite reliable. If they are within the range of the goal frame, the goalkeeper basically has nothing to do."

After the opening of the game, the Chinese team felt what is called a suffocating attack, which has never been encountered before.

"Now I understand how the Saudis felt back then."

Schweinsteiger ran forward with the ball on the right. Sun Xiang couldn't hold it down at all. His speed was okay, but he couldn't hold it down with physical confrontation.

Immediately after Schweinsteiger passed, he made a cross and a curve ball into the penalty area. This curve ball was aimed at Podolski in front of the penalty area, but there were defensive players around him, and the striker had instinctive feelings, so he swung the ball back with his header.

But Klose ran a bit and the ball went behind him.

"Oh my God, the ball went right behind Klose, just a little short."

"Otherwise, the back point is a big empty goal. Let alone Klose, even I can go in."

The German team used such indiscriminate bombing to deal with the Chinese team's penalty area, but in fact it was Klinsmann who was anxious first.

Because the Chinese team's fighting ability was also reflected in the game against England, it is indeed good, as long as there is no goal, then the advantage on the scene is useless.

"Goal."

"Goal."

Klinsmann's requirement is that a goal must still be scored in the first 15 minutes, otherwise the goal will be difficult to play, because the players will be tired and their physical fitness will enter a trough.

At 15 minutes, the score was still 0-0, and Klinsmann seemed a little anxious.

On the court, the Chinese team is gradually able to get the ball in the backcourt, but only in the backcourt, and it is still impossible to enter the frontcourt.

Li Qiao is also very sad to hold the ball in the midfield, usually passing the ball, because the physical confrontation of German players is really strong.

The Chinese team still used the football game style of the previous few games, passing quickly and avoiding confrontation as much as possible.

But the German team is different. In front of the Germans, the Chinese team basically loses the ball without passing three legs.

After Zheng Zhi took the ball, he passed it to Li Qiao with a long kick, but before the ball passed, it was cut off by the German team's Ram.

Li Qiao slapped his right hand with his left hand, and he rarely kicked the ball so aggrieved that he couldn't even get the ball.

The defense of the German team is a standard chain defense. It will not be fought by one person alone, but by a group of several people.

Of course, the benefits of this need not be said, the defense is like forming a chain, which is very difficult for Li Qiao.

But this is not enough. The German team's request is to completely freeze Li Qiao. This is the tactic Loew helped Klinsmann formulate, that is, the German team must freeze Li Qiao.

Li Qiao is facing Germany's best full-back Lahm.

In his previous life, Li Qiao liked to watch the German team's games. Whether Lahm was on the left or the right, he was always a dragon.

So Li Qiao paused, trying to use fake moves to get rid of him, but it didn't work. Lahm didn't use fake moves at all. This kind of excellent full-back is very good at getting stuck.

Some people have said that defense is actually the art of blocking positions. In fact, defense purely relying on the body is very low.

Li Qiao had no choice but to take the outside line left by Ram, but soon, Frings came over, and Lahm and Frings formed a double-team for Li Qiao, so this opportunity was lost. There was Hao Junmin in the middle, but there was no shot at all.

In the end, Li Qiao could only kick the ball towards Lahm. The ball went out of the baseline and the Chinese team got a corner kick.

"This is the Chinese team's first corner kick in this game, and it is also the first time it has attacked the German team's half area."

Li Qiao went to open the ball himself.

There are quite a lot of people on the Chinese team, and it is obvious that they want to use this opportunity to make some articles.

"Setting the ball is a better opportunity for the weak side, it depends on how the Chinese team uses it."

The Germans are also ready.

Li Qiao looked at Li Weifeng, who was running in the forward position, and kicked the ball low and flat to the forward position. Li Wei deliberately missed it, and Mertesacker was behind.

And soon, the Chinese team protested collectively.

"Handball."

Because the ball missed by Li Weifeng seemed to hit Mertesacker's hand.

At this time, both sides were very excited, because Mertesacker is so tall and his handball is quite obvious, it depends on how the referee decides.

After about 20 seconds, the referee blew his whistle and pointed to the location of the penalty spot.

There was an uproar.

Our side has been attacking for so long without scoring a goal, and the opponent got a penalty kick with just one corner kick so lightly.

This made the Germans at the scene unacceptable.

Ballack angrily negotiated with the referee.

"The ball leaked so fast that no one could avoid it. It was an unintentional handball."

But the referee decided that Mertesacker's arm was raised, which was a penalty.

This time, the Germans fried the pot.
