Super Coach

Beep~beep~~

With the referee's whistle, the first half is over!

The on-site commentator had a lot to say before, but because the game was still going on, he could only hold it in. Now after hearing the whistle, he began to play along with the wonderful replays of the first half without vomiting. Not fast.

This is not the most exciting 45 minutes. I even think that the first half of the first game of the European Cup group stage between Spain and Germany is the best 45 minutes in the entire European Cup so far. It is also a typical example of the most classic offensive battle. Compared with that game, this game seems very dull.

But this dullness is not due to the inaction of both sides. Instead, they are actively brewing and preparing for the offensive. They are actively and patiently looking for the opponent's loopholes. Once they seize the opportunity, they will launch a thunderous offensive and defeat the opponent. Caught off guard.

Spain's goal was aimed at the holes in the German team's defensive organization. The impact of Kyle's injury is very huge. The central defender combination of Badstuber and Hummels still lacks a little bit of Kyle's stability and sophistication. Spain took advantage of this problem in the German team, seized the opportunity, and took the lead.

The German team's tactics in this game seem very conservative, but their conservatism is very interesting, especially the defensive tactics arranged by Yang Cheng in this game, which are very research-oriented. I don't know what happened on the scene. How many people have seen this, but I believe that after this game, the German team’s defense will once again become a learning object for countless teams.”

Yang Cheng's tactics don't just emphasize defense. I believe he knows very well that if he continues to use the kind of offensive battle he used in the first game of the group, the German team will only die miserably, so he adopts another approach. Then It’s defensive counterattack.”

That's right. The entire first half. The German team only had one threatening defensive counterattack, but it was precisely this defensive counterattack that made all of us worth it. Because what we saw was an almost perfect defensive counterattack. , not fast, even. Compared with previous defensive counterattacks, the German team’s counterattack can be said to be a bit slow.”

After Sven Bender intercepted the ball head-on, he simply took a few steps forward. This was obviously a waste of time, but what we should see more is that from the moment the German team got the ball, to Ozil afterwards I stopped the ball on the wing, and then Klose suppressed two Spanish defenders, creating an opportunity for Thomas Muller to step in. The whole process seemed to have been very carefully calculated, and everyone executed it perfectly on the court. to complete the entire process.”

Perhaps, in the eyes of many fans, this first half is mediocre and dull, but in my opinion, I think this first half is the most exciting one among all the football games I have ever seen. 45 minutes, not because of anything else, but because I saw two classic goals!

When talking about this, the director also reminded the on-site commentator that a commercial was about to break out.

So he began to summarize the first half and predict the second half.

Today's situation can be described as a turnaround. The German team equalized the score in the 42nd minute. The two teams returned to a balanced state. They will stand on the same starting line again in the second half and sprint, but the situation is already different from the beginning. There's a noticeable difference.

Spain was equalized, and the players' mood will definitely be affected, and they may not be willing to play overtime and penalty kicks with the German team, because Yang Cheng's German team has outstanding fighting spirit and willpower, and they are absolutely perfect at critical moments. To be clear, dragging into overtime and penalty shootouts is very dangerous.

The German team may continue to adopt a game strategy of stabilizing defense first. After all, they are at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but I believe that after the morale boosted by this goal, this German team will definitely have more success in the future. With a good performance, they will definitely not be willing to enter overtime and penalty shootouts, so the second half will definitely be more beautiful and exciting than the first!”

…………

Just as the on-site commentator said, in the German team's locker room, the players were obviously still immersed in the goal. As soon as they entered the locker room, they all started happily discussing what had just happened. Goal.

Did you see that the Spanish guys walked off the field with their heads lowered? I have played so many games with them and I have never seen them play like that. It was so enjoyable!

This group of guys haven't lost in the past few years, and none of them are used to losing. Suddenly we equalized the score, and we didn't stun them. According to me, they must be upset and upset in the locker room now. I’m afraid, I’m afraid I’ll lose this game!”

I didn't say it before. We are here just for the trophy. Now that the situation is so good, we must kill Spain!

Yes, kill them and take the trophy home!

A group of people were discussing noisily in the locker room, and everyone looked as if they had already won the championship in advance.

When Yang Cheng opened the locker room door and walked in, each of the boys put on their big smiles, facing him like sunflowers, but when they saw the seriousness on their head coach's face, It was as if the flood at the end of the world was about to come, and I couldn't laugh anymore.

Give you three minutes to forget about the first half of the game! Yang Cheng shouted in a deep voice.

As long as everyone heard this sentence, they would get chills all over. Although the head coach did not reprimand them, they could all hear from the tone that the head coach was not happy with their optimism, and could even be said to be angry.

In the next three minutes, the locker room became quiet except for the movement of the staff.

As soon as the time came, Yang Cheng began to make midfield tactical arrangements.

I want all of you to clearly realize that we only equalized the score, not took the lead, and we did not win the championship. We are facing Spain, the most powerful team in football today. Facing such a team, even if There is no guarantee of being ahead by two goals, not to mention that we are just drawing with the opponent now, what is there to be happy about?

Faced with Yang Cheng's shouts and questions, the players were all silent and speechless.

There are many players in the Spanish team who were brought out by me. What kind of people they are. I know better than you. Don't think that a tie can make them feel frustrated or frustrated. , I tell you. Go home and daydream about the blue sky!

Our goal, our equalizer, will only make them more motivated. It will only make them more aggressive and aggressive. I can even tell you that the situation in the second half will be infinitely more difficult than the first half. Times, because they will try their best in the second half, and by then, can we still hold on?

No one here could answer the last question, because they had all experienced the first half, when they thought they were already solid. But he was suddenly cut open by Spain, and the opponent scored a crucial goal from under his nose. Now. What else can they guarantee?

Our real test. The second half officially started. If you think that after we equalized the score, we can easily win this game. I can tell you that it is so wrong. Our equalizer will put us in despair. If If we continue to play the second half as we did in the first half, we will lose miserably!

Yang Cheng's almost pessimistic and desperate statement surprised all the German players present, but no one could refute it, because in the past three games, they had all lost to Spain, and every game they lost The score was 0:1, and there were even games where they lost completely, which made them all deeply feel the power of Spain.

Guys! Yang Cheng, after deflating their arrogance, began to prepare tactics for the second half. If we want to win this game, then you all listen to me. We must maintain absolute concentration in the second half. , to maintain full concentration, I want each of you to put down all distracting thoughts and only think about the game, can you do it?

Yang Cheng's question stunned many players present, but soon, they all answered in unison, Yes!

In the first half, Yang Cheng's adjustment and command were the key to the team's equalizing the score. The players knew this better than anyone else, so they now have an inexplicable sense of admiration and dependence on Yang Cheng. They all They began to believe that Yang Cheng could lead them to defeat Spain, provided that everything obeyed Yang Cheng's command and arrangements.

At the beginning of the second half, I don't ask you to engage in counterattack. The first thing we have to do is to continue to ensure the stability of our defense. Especially after the opponent cuts from the wing to the center, our defensive system must change quickly, and the midfielder Toni Kroos and Bastian Schweinsteiger must pay close attention to the team's defensive transitions and provide adequate protection.

The players listened attentively one by one and kept it in their hearts.

All our actions in the second half are based on stable defense. All of you must remember that if Spain scores another goal, we will be finished! Yang Cheng said this very seriously, because He hopes that all players will be deeply aware of the seriousness of this problem.

On the basis of stable defense, our counterattack continues to adopt our first half strategy. Once the ball is intercepted, whether it is facing the defensive player head-on or holding the ball behind the back, we must try our best to catch it first and then pass it. , but you must remember that after intercepting the ball, the first consideration is to protect the ball. Don't be intercepted easily, otherwise, our goal will be very dangerous!

In fact, the strategy given by Yang Cheng is exactly the strategy adopted by many teams when dealing with Real Madrid. The reason is very simple. If you fail to steal the ball and protect the ball when Real Madrid counterattacks, , the counterattack players in the frontcourt have no chance to reach the attacking position. In this case, the counterattack is impossible to achieve the expected purpose.

In the years when Yang Cheng coached Real Madrid, almost all the goals and defeats occurred in this situation, but later he also learned some experience and arranged confrontation methods, but he didn't know that Bosque was Isn't it also conceivable, or whether the players also gave Bosque a reminder.

Sometimes, competitions between teams that know each other well are so troublesome. Many of Spain's tactics are the same as Real Madrid's, which makes Yang Chengji know how to restrain Spain, but Real Madrid's players also know Yang Cheng well. Once they see If Yang Cheng makes a move, they all know what is going on and may have strategies to deal with it.

In short, in this kind of duel where we know the basics, it’s really a headache, and we often have to resort to tricks!

…………

…………

After a 15-minute intermission, the two teams returned to the court.

After Spain opened the second half. Just like the first half. Continuing to adopt a proactive offensive strategy against the German team, Del Bosque obviously hopes to take this opportunity to achieve dual purposes. One is to use offense to force the German team to shrink. In order to resolve the blow caused by the German team's equalizer near the end of the first half.

The second is definitely the team that hopes to break the German team again, preferably directly scoring, then Spain will once again establish its advantage. And Bosque will definitely have a better response strategy.

As soon as the game started, Yang Cheng's team was overwhelmed by Spain's powerful offensive. They had to retreat to the front of the penalty area to set up formations, ready to defend Spain's attack.

The tempering of actual combat is more effective than any drills and training. The first half of the competition greatly improved the German team's defensive system, because the 11 players of the German team already have sufficient professional game experience. They all know and understand very well how to implement the head coach's tactics, but what they lack is a tacit understanding.

After 45 minutes, they had fully established a certain tacit understanding. On this basis. Coupled with Yang Cheng's numerous instructions during the halftime break, asking them to devote themselves wholeheartedly, they made the game after the start of the second half. Able to keep the goal firmly. Don't let Spain have the opportunity to easily tear apart the German team's defense.

However, Spain's offensive is so fierce. The German team was unable to find a chance to counterattack for a while.

The situation on the scene is a bit one-sided now, but the German team is still struggling to support itself. This team is obviously not willing to sit back and hand over the initiative in the game easily. It still stands firmly in front of the goal and does not let Spain There were easy opportunities to face the goal, which allowed Spain to shoot but not create a real threatening opportunity.

This situation was also seen by Del Bosque, his assistants, and all the professionals sitting in the stands. They all knew very well that if they continued to attack like this, the German team's defense would only get worse and worse. Solid, Spain's morale will become increasingly sluggish. In the end, as long as the German team seizes another opportunity, it may be Spain that is finished.

We can't continue to attack like this! Tony Grand said beside Del Bosque.

In countless games, the situation was one-sided, but the frenzied attack failed to score a goal. In the end, the opponent succeeded in a counterattack and sneak attack. It was often the dominant side who was too aggressive, blindly eager to attack, and pressed the opponent too tightly, causing the opponent to Entered a defensive state.

Once encountering this situation, usually experienced teams will choose to relax their offensive, retreat and let the opponent press out.

There is a saying that is right. If you want to hit your opponent with force, you must first retract your fist and then punch it out hard. Only then will it be more powerful. Otherwise, the hit will not hurt the opponent at all.

After hearing this, Bosque nodded. He knew this very clearly, However, we cannot relax the situation. Otherwise, as you saw in the first half, their counterattack was obviously to take advantage of our loopholes. If I give them another chance, I'm worried that the defense will lose control!

In terms of individual defensive players, Spain's defenders are not outstanding in strength, because the principle of forming the defense line of all teams is not to find the strongest, but to find the most suitable, so Spain's defense line It has to be Ramos and Pique.

If they are allowed to face offensive players one-on-one, they will be at a passive disadvantage. This is what the German team's counterattack just reminded Del Bosque, reminding him that Spain's offense is powerful, but your defense sometimes fails. Like paper.

This Caesar of ours really has nothing to say! Bosque praised with a helpless smile.

Both games caused so much embarrassment and trouble for Spain. Both games almost caused Spain to suffer a big loss. Del Bosque had to admire Yang Cheng. At least he could lead such a German team to compete with Spain to the current level. Looking at the current situation in football, there are only a handful of such famous coaches, or even none.

Remember what Xavi Alonso said? Tony Grand reminded.

Yang Cheng once mentioned in Real Madrid that there is a key link in such a counterattack, because our defense line is very high and we have a lot of offensive troops, so their frontcourt players actively participate in the defense. From defense to offense, they need time to move forward.”

This is the reason why Sven Bender, as a defensive midfielder, insisted on dribbling the ball by himself just now. It was to create opportunities for Ozil and others in front of him. Therefore, as long as he saw through Yang Cheng's With this strategy, the problem will be solved.

After hearing this, Bosque nodded and smiled, Then inform Ramos and Pique that the defense should pay attention to the German team's forward and the two attackers Thomas Muller and Ozil, and then tell our center In the frontcourt, we must increase our investment in on-the-spot counterattacks and don’t let our opponents control the ball easily!”

Why are Mourinho and others' teams unable to defeat Real Madrid despite knowing their problems?

Because it is already very difficult to control the ball in a high-pressure situation where the opponent is intensively counterattacking on the spot. Players like this also want to observe the movement of the counterattack players in the frontcourt and then pass the ball smoothly. Too little, too little.

However, if this is not possible, it will be impossible to pass the ball forward and create opportunities, and then the German team's previous counterattack routine will be in vain.

Bosque's adjustment quickly took effect on the court!
