Strong Waist

Chapter 48: Change of Tactics by Zou Pinggong

"The first half of the game was unexpected. The German team did not play a controlled game as we expected. On the contrary, their game rhythm and content were very bad, and the final shot in front of the goal was also very cumbersome!"

"They always seem to think about how to pass the ball, not how to score the ball into the opponent's goal!"

"The second half of the game is about to start. What kind of adjustments can the German team make during the halftime break? The remaining 45 minutes are also the last chance for the German team to redeem themselves!"

Accompanied by the commentator's words, the players of both sides also re-entered the field and were about to start the second half of the game.

From the camera, we can see that the expressions of the German players are not as relaxed as they were at the beginning.

The unexpected game situation and the lagging score seemed to be a dark cloud hanging over their heads.

At this time, the overall atmosphere and emotions of the German team became complicated.

Many people have even begun to consider the problem of losing.

Before the start of the World Cup, this was something no one had expected.

As the defending champion, the German team would suffer a heavy blow in the group stage and face the danger of elimination in the group stage.

This is even more true for the German team itself.

If the 2014 World Cup was the glorious moment of the German team, then four years later, they may face their darkest moment.

"Hey! Guys! Show your fighting spirit! We can do it!"

Kimmich kept yelling.

Although he is not the captain, as the most energetic and spiritual person in the team, he is still full of passion even in a bad environment.

But the environment at this time is a little different.

Except Kimmich, the expressions of the others are extremely ugly, and the atmosphere is extremely stiff under the influence of emotions.

Except Kimmich, the others are not communicating.

Even Muller, a natural optimist, is frowning at this time.

The poor performance in the first half made them full of boredom with the game itself.

However, the game has to continue, and they need to make adjustments in the second half.

"There is no personnel change on the German team, and the German coach Loew still believes that this group of young people can create miracles!"

"It is also possible that even Loew doesn't know how to clean up this mess!"

Even the famous coach is also troubled by this situation.

The German team is facing more than just a problem of backwardness.

Before the World Cup, the whole world was exaggerating the strength and threat of the German team.

And a bad start cast a shadow on them.

Even if the German players seemed to be indifferent to the shame in front of the whole world, they would feel bad inside.

Moreover, they have the burden of the championship, the pressure of fans' expectations, media opinions, etc.

These factors are affecting the German players.

And the unachievable shots have caused some controversy in the team for Werner, the center forward.

Similarly, the performances of Muller, Kroos, Reus, and other highly anticipated players are not equal to the expectations, which is also exacerbating the contradictions within the German team.

It can be said that the pressure on the German team at this time is no longer imposed by the outside world, but comes from a kind of disagreement in their hearts.

"Chinese team!

!——"

"Come on!

!

!——"

A sudden roar awakened the German players.

They looked at the other half of the field, and the Chinese players formed a circle and shouted loudly.

The unity, passion and fighting spirit based on the game came to their faces.

Muller glanced at the others, but did not intend to do the same thing.

The same is true for other German players.

Chen Xiang came to the center circle with the ball.

After the halftime break, his physical strength recovered a little.

The lead in the first half made them less passive in the second half.

But if they want to win the game, they still have to fight hard.

Chen Xiang patted his cheek gently.

This is his first World Cup.

As a young player of this generation, Chen Xiang is lucky.

He is not like Wang Yi, who can only go it alone.

He has Chen Man beside him and Le Kai behind him.

These are teammates who can be trusted and even relied on.

It is precisely because of such strong teammates that the Chinese team has been able to get to where it is now.

As a center forward, Chen Xiang is also not very satisfied with his performance.

As a spearhead, he has not scored a goal so far.

He needs a better performance!

And based on the World Cup stage, for Chen Xiang, who has a dream of studying abroad, he needs to impress those scouts with his performance.

In fact, the Chinese team's game has also been watched by European clubs.

As the biggest dark horse in this World Cup, they can't help but pay attention to the performance of the Chinese team.

In addition to Le Kai, Chen Man and Liu Kairui, three already famous players.

The most popular player in the Chinese team is the left back Zhang Chenxi.

So far, Zhang Chenxi's performance in the game is the best among the young players.

He has shown enough ability in both defense and side attack.

For this reason, he has also received a lot of attention.

Maybe after the World Cup, he will receive trials and even transfer invitations from European teams.

Beep!

With a short whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

After the Chinese team kicked off, the German players rushed into the Chinese team's half like a wolf pack to press.

The Chinese players, who were well aware that their backcourt was incapable of controlling the ball, after consecutive back passes, Liu Kairui stepped forward directly.

The ball was quickly controlled by the German team.

"Hold on!"

Lucai lowered his center of gravity slightly, took a defensive stance, and reminded his teammates at the same time.

The Chinese players also immediately switched to a defensive posture after losing the ball.

After the confrontation experience in the first half, they also knew how to prevent the German team's attack.

But this time the German team changed their tactics.

After the ball was passed to Muller on the wing, Muller took two steps forward along the sideline and immediately made a direct pass.

The ball flew high into the air and flew towards the Chinese team's penalty area.

Werner, on the other hand, was clinging to Liu Kairui, and despite the confrontation between the two, neither could move.

"Be careful!"

Liu Kairui resisted and turned his head to remind.

Gao Leiliang immediately retreated and stuck to Brandt who stepped forward to fight for the top.

"Don't even think about it!"

Gao Leiliang is taller than Brandt, so while preventing the opponent from taking off, he can judge the landing point of the ball. When his head touches the ball, he twists his neck outward.

The ball was pushed out of the penalty area.

However, since the force was not exerted by the waist and abdomen, it did not fly far and could not control the direction.

The ball accidentally landed in front of Cross.

Seeing such a good opportunity, Cross immediately moved forward to chase the ball.

At the same time, he planned to shoot directly from a long distance.

But just as he was about to catch up with the ball, a huge force suddenly hit his shoulder, and the next second, his whole person was knocked away.

Lucky came out from the side. After pushing away Cross, he turned around and kicked the ball away.

"Watch out for their crosses!"

Lucky also felt a little impatient inside.

The German team's tactics have changed!

They no longer poured the ball slowly at first, but sent it more directly into the Chinese team's penalty area.

The first attack brought enough pressure to the Chinese team.

Lucky's clearance ball was again controlled by the German players and passed to Royce.

Luo Yins killed along the edge again.

After Yu Brandt performed a two-on-one, a pick ball hit the position behind the Chinese defender.

Werner saw the opportunity and immediately stepped forward.

However, someone was one step faster than him. Goalkeeper Tong Lei quickly judged the landing point, took the initiative, jumped slightly, and picked the ball off before Werner.

"Beautiful! Tong Lei!"

Liu Kairui angrily praised.

This time it was definitely Tong Lei's clever attack that made the difference. If he hesitated a little, Werner might catch the ball.

But at the same time, the German team's offense also put great pressure on the Chinese players.

"The German team's playing style has changed!"

After watching these two attacks, He Wei's tone became worried.

"Unlike the passing and controlling in the first half, the German team's offense became more direct and sharper!"

"They are no longer obsessed with passing the ball, but are trying to find ways to send the ball into the penalty area, and then use their cooperation and the players' abilities to deal with shooting problems."

"In two consecutive attacks, although the German team failed to get a chance to shoot, it also showed that once they seize the opportunity, the Chinese team's leading situation will be shaken!"

"So, you must not relax, not even a little bit!"
