Chapter 85 Caesar's Problem

The commentary guest lineup of this U21 European Youth Championship is very luxurious. The German ARD TV station invited the legendary German goalkeepers Kahn and Sauer, as well as the former national team coach Klinsmann.

The commentator Kevin Jancker (Kevin Jancker) is the ace commentator of ARD TV. He has also become good friends with many international players over the years.

Today, they will explain the match between Germany U21 and Spain U21 together.

Before the game, Kevin Yankel once asked: "Oliver (Kahn), which team do you think will win today's game?"

Kahn, who has just retired, has been paying attention to the youth training in Germany, so he knows this group of young players very well.

He said: "There is no doubt that the current German U21 has the best defensive front in the world at the same age. Especially their goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, this guy is the strangest goalkeeper I have ever seen. His range of activities and footwork are no less than any good central defender. This is the complete opposite of me. Although it is risky, it is very practical."

"So you think the chances of the German team winning this game will be higher?"

"Basically, I have faith in our lads."

However, as soon as the game started, Spain's U21 suppressed Germany and was out of breath.

Bojan Kerkic is the arrow figure of this Spanish U21 team and the core of the offensive end.Although he, a player known as a genius more than Messi, cannot guarantee his playing time in Barcelona, ​​he often gets pointers from the big brothers in the team during training.

With their help, Boyang has grown rapidly and has a promising future.

Spain's U21 formed a 4-5-1 formation, with Bo Yang at the forefront alone.

The Spanish national team that won the championship last year played well and dominated possession.And their youth team naturally followed suit. For a while, the German team couldn't even touch the ball.

"Damn, what kind of kick is this."

Andy wiped off his sweat. The Spanish U21s completely dominated the midfield. The German team captain Khedira and Hummels were played around, and they couldn't even touch the clothes of the opponent's midfielders.

Caesar was cruising behind Wagner, and upon seeing this, he also joined in the defense.

His participation made the Spanish U21 feel the pressure. After all, their team did not have super midfielders like Harvey and Iniesta. Under the running of Caesar and other players, the Spanish U21 began to make mistakes in passing.

Hrubesch has been standing on the sidelines since the start of the game. Before the start of the match, the Spanish U21 team also had high hopes from their domestic media, which made Hrubesch dare not be careless.

10 minutes before the first half, the game was under the control of Spain U21, and it was going on slowly.

In these 10 minutes, the Spanish U21 also caused some trouble to Neuer's gate through their high ball possession rate.

Right-back Cesar Azpilicueta slid in wide and combined with team-mate Esteban Granero in a wall-to-wall combination, out of the way of Ozil's defense and into the baseline.

The left back Bernisch stepped forward to block. He was tall and wanted to overwhelm AZP with strength.As a result, the opponent knocked the ball lightly to Bojan in the middle, dodging Bernish's defense.

Bojan's possession of the ball caused great trouble for the German U21's central defense. This guy is dexterous and has a very fast foot frequency.The German team is full of tall and strong men in the middle, and they defend like adults bullying children.

However, this kid is not simple. His dexterous legs allowed him to shuttle back and forth in the middle of the German team, completely disrupting the opponent's defense.

Just as the German team was battered by Bojan, Granero sneaked in from the flank.

Everyone focused on Bojan, but ignored Granero.

ARD commentator Kevin Yankel said: "Bojan is dancing in the middle! During this period of time, our young man has nothing to do with him! Bojan passed the ball! My God! When did Granero come in!"

The commentary consultant Kahn shouted: "Neuer!"

That's right, Neuer discovered Granero's insertion the moment Bojan passed the ball. I don't know if he didn't have time to call out to his teammates or he had great confidence in himself. Neuer just rushed out in silence.

This is very different from Kahn, but the effect is equally significant.

Granero was overjoyed after receiving the ball, and these stupid big guys really didn't realize their existence.

However.
"Beautiful blocking! Neuer hugged the ball directly! Granero lost his mind at the most critical moment! The ball was won by Neuer!"

However, this beautiful blocking did not help the German team recover their disadvantages, and the Spanish U21s had the advantage throughout the first half.Caesar didn't get a few chances until the halftime whistle blew.

Back in the locker room, Caesar took off the lucky bracelet that Sarah gave him with some depression.Sweat dripped on it, seeping in a little bit.

"Good job! The opponent's midfield control is stronger than ours, and it is already very good to be able to defend!"

Hrubesch encouraged the players, and Caesar said bluntly: "But we didn't counterattack at all, and we were stopped by the opponent every time."

Ozil was very tired, and he said angrily: "Luther! Your position is too tight. I tried to pass the ball to you several times, but you were crowded with the opponent's defender."

Before Kaiser could refute, Hrubesch nodded and said, "That's right, Kaiser, you still need to find a sense of position. In the second half, we changed our tactics. When counterattacking, Kaiser paid attention to pulling the side and opening the gap."

"But in this case, Sandro (Wagner) won the first point and no one responded to him."

"Idiot, don't you think you can do it yourself? If you cooperate with the ground, you will pull to the side, and if you cooperate with the high altitude, you will respond. Is the tactical level of the Bundesliga so bad? I even teach you how to move?" Hrubesch sighed.

Caesar suddenly realized, and he said that something seemed wrong.

He himself was always thinking about cooperating with Wagner in the first half, wanting to catch his header ferry.

However, most of the counterattacks of the German team were on the ground. Every time Ozil wanted to pass the ball to Kaiser, he could not be found.

Caesar is still wondering, Ozil is obviously a technical master, why he keeps making mistakes in the first half.

The reason is that he couldn't find Caesar at all, so he could only dribble the ball by himself, and then was cut off by the swarming opponents.

"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier." Caesar also complained about his teammates, and Ozil rolled his eyes. His eyes were very big, and he looked like a bitter woman.

"The opponent's offense is so fierce, I'm too busy defending, and I still have time to point out you idiot. Besides, you don't know such basic things. How did you become a professional player?"

Caesar blushed for a moment, stood up abruptly and shouted: "Go, go! Kill them in the second half!"
