Super Coach

On the football field, any tactic is relative and there is no absolute tactic.

In other words, any adjustment is a double-edged sword, which may hurt the enemy as well as yourself. The key lies in the balance and control of the head coach.

Yang Cheng noticed an interesting thing throughout the first half, that is, in Spain's midfield configuration, whether it is Iniesta, Xavi, or Xavi Alonso, they are all relatively deep.

Creating such a situation is actually very simple. Bosque's purpose is to ensure his own ball control and initiative. He hopes to take the initiative and give full play to his own advantages, but does not want the midfielder to press too high, because there is no virtue. For a thick player like Larede, Spain's midfield is slightly weak and needs to be grouped together to be effective.

The German team assembled heavy troops in the middle, but Spain couldn't move in the middle. They mostly went to the wings. This made Spain's two wingers Mata and David Silva close to the sidelines, and the two midfielders , except for Iniesta who occasionally goes forward to participate in the attack, Xavi almost always follows Xavi Alonso.

Then, the problem arises. Once someone suppresses Spain's two midfielders, Iniesta and Xavi, so that these two players cannot intervene at any time to respond to the frontcourt attack, the three frontcourt players can be completely eliminated. All players were ineffective, and forward Villa was directly exposed to the stranglehold of the two central defenders of the German team.

At the same time, with Iniesta and Xavi suppressed, as long as one more man is allocated, Xavi Alonso can be strangled!

Yang Cheng knows Xavi Alonso very well. The biggest shortcoming of this player is his ability to escape. When he encounters the opponent's entanglement and marking, it is always difficult for him to display his usual characteristics. If he is targeted If we make a fuss about this, things will be much easier to handle.

At the beginning of the second half, the German team began to make adjustments during the halftime break and launched a long-planned battle for the ball. And this is the key area of ​​the battle. Right in midfield!

…………

…………

For a long time, Ozil has given people the impression that offense is stronger than defense. Even many fans will wonder, does this guy have defense?

Insufficient physical confrontation ability and poor physical fitness are the common impressions of Ozil among fans. Even after a long period of hard training, physical confrontation has improved and physical fitness has also improved. Ozil still has not been able to change others' almost stereotyped impression of him.

If you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that compared with the European Cup, Ozil's average running distance per game has increased by a lot, but fans generally don't look at data. They pay more attention to the players' performance on the court. Performance.

But in the second half of this game,

He surprised everyone at the beginning of the game.

Just after the German team kicked off the ball. It didn't take long before a mistake occurred in a pass-and-receive coordination. Spain seized possession of the ball, but the nearby Ozil immediately forced Xavi to get the ball, forcing Xavi to move as quickly as possible and handed it to Xavi Alonso, but Ozil was unwilling to switch. He turned around and immediately pushed towards Harvey Alonso again.

As if he was determined to win the ball, Ozil entangled Xabi Alonso, and the two almost struggled together. The referee blew the foul whistle and awarded Ozil a foul. Spain got a free kick.

You can see that Xavi Alonso quickly took the free kick and handed it to Xavi again, but Ozil and Bastian Schweinsteiger pressed forward immediately. Double flank Harvey. The Barcelona midfielder wanted to pass back this time, but Ozil, who had already planned it, suddenly jumped out and intercepted the ball.

Beautiful! Ozil successfully intercepted the ball!!! the commentator shouted in surprise.

This was not only surprising to him, but also to fans who were familiar with the German national team and Bayern in the stands because they had rarely seen Ozil so devoted to pressing and defending, and he had already played in the first half. It’s been 45 minutes. Do you still have enough physical strength now?

After stealing the ball, Ozil quickly distributed the ball to the left and handed it to Thomas Muller. The latter faced Arbeloa's defense on the left and formed a coordination with Ram who came in behind. Behind the pass, Lahm, who was sprinting all the way, got the ball in front of the baseline and passed it in. Klose in the middle stepped in and completed a header, but it was slightly higher.

The German team's counterattack after stealing the ball created a huge threat and almost resulted in a goal!

This was the first shot from both sides in the second half. The German team finally decided to take the initiative to attack after the second half!

The on-site commentator Yi was obviously happy with Yang Cheng's decision. At least he felt that after the pressure, the German team should be more open and Spain would not be conservative. The two sides might fight against each other.

But they obviously ignored one thing, that is, the fact that the German team presses out to play does not necessarily mean that the game will definitely become an offensive battle. It can also be that the German team presses against Spain.

Isn't it strange?

not at all!

Carefully watch the German team's tactics in the second half, actively press forward, and isolate the front trident by suppressing Iniesta and Xavi. Because Spain plays 433 and does not have an attacking midfielder, they need a midfielder behind the forward. They stepped in to fill in, or the forwards retreated to complete it, but when Iniesta and Xavi were suppressed and Villa fell into the strangulation of the German team's central defender, this area was completely controlled by the German team.

Use this to suppress Spain's offense, and then use Ozil to entangle Xavi Alonso, disrupting Spain's ball control system, and then press forward through the defense line to continuously exert pressure on Spain's defense line and push Spain's The first half served as the main battlefield, forcing Spain to hand over the ball.

Spain has always been best at arranging the main battlefield in other people's half, pushing its own ball control area to the opponent's 32-meter area, thereby posing a threat. Once its own ball control system is disrupted, it cannot successfully complete the advancement. Then they will seem at a loss and don't know how to fight.

On the contrary, the German team, through this pressing and pressing in the Spanish half, successfully gained more possession of the ball and began to attack Spain's defense again and again, creating a threat and forcing Spain to retreat. , successfully controlled the situation of the game.

This resulted in the tens of thousands of fans in attendance and countless others watching the game on television being stunned. Or rather an incredible scene. That is, the German team is suppressing Spain, especially after the 60th minute of the second half, the German team almost completely controlled the game, and the situation on the field was almost one-sided!

Lahm, Thomas Muller and Ozil posed a huge threat on the left. The three players teamed up to maintain strong offensive pressure on Spain's right. The German team's offense was almost always launched on the left. It’s more of a containment effect.”

Compared with the increasing offensive momentum of the German team, Spain seems to be overwhelmed. As the game gradually progresses, their physical problems are gradually exposed. Now they can't even meet the minimum requirements. The pressure on the German team's defense gradually eased.

Three attacking players including Villa failed to maintain pressure on the German team's defense. The German team began to often create threats through overhead passes from the backcourt. Once the Spanish defense was pressed into the penalty area by the opponent, it looked awkward. Not adaptable, frequent mistakes!”

While the on-site commentator was talking, the German team once again tore apart Spain's defense from the left, and Ozil pulled to the left to meet Lahm who came in later. After getting the ball, he made a sharp through ball. Penetrating Spain's defense, passing between Arbeloa and De La Red, and heading straight into the penalty area.

Thomas Muller was well prepared. After Ozil's through ball, he passed Arbeloa. After getting the ball in the penalty area, he made an emergency stop in the face of Delared's interception. After deceiving the open position, he shot directly.

Casillas always maintains a high degree of concentration. He is also the world's top goalkeeper. After seeing Neuer perform at such a high level, he was also stimulated. When he saw Thomas Muller enter As soon as he entered the penalty area, he was ready. When the latter took off, he reacted and steadily saved Thomas Muller's ball from the far corner.

Beautiful save!!! The on-site commentator also felt that Casillas's save was also very beautiful, his body was very stretched, and the difficulty of the save was not low, although it was not as good as Neuer's save of Iniesta just now. It was a single shot, but it was considered a difficult save and won the cheers of the Spanish fans in the stands.

The German team's offense is becoming more and more dynamic. Now it is almost overwhelming Spain in attacking. This scene is simply unbelievable! the on-site commentator said when the German team was preparing for a corner kick. You know, in the past few years, countless Fans are looking forward to a team that can completely defeat Spain, but they have never seen a team that can dominate Spain and have such a huge advantage, but the German team did it in this game!

Based on this, I believe that fans all over the world who are waiting for this game will not be disappointed!

The German team's corner kick came out, but Ozil's corner kick was too high. Hummels failed to correct his position due to the interference of De La Red. The ball was too high and it became a Spanish goal kick.

But it is obvious that the German team's offense has gradually gained momentum!

…………

…………

Their physical energy is almost exhausted, just a little bit! Tim Hank walked out of the coaching bench and came near Yang Cheng and said.

In Yang Cheng's coaching staff, Tim Hank is responsible for physical training, and is also responsible for observing data during the game, so that Yang Cheng can grasp the latest data and intelligence at the first time, so as soon as he has any new news or gains, They always conveyed it to Yang Cheng immediately. What he paid close attention to in this game was Spain's physical fitness.

Through a series of data such as the player's running distance, pre-match physical condition, and daily physical consumption, the system can roughly estimate a player's physical consumption.

Then add a handful of firewood and send them on their way! Yang Cheng turned around, scanned the bench behind him, and finally set his sights on Tony Cross, shouting over there, Tony!

Toni Kroos has been looking forward to playing in such a game. He has already made all preparations. As soon as he heard Yang Cheng's shout, he immediately ran out of the bench and ran to Yang Cheng. in front of.

Go and warm up right away, go quickly! Yang Cheng patted his shoulder and told him to go quickly.

This kid must have been prepared for it a long time ago. He went to the sidelines for a walk and ran back immediately.

Wow, you're so fast! Yang Cheng was a little surprised. Looking at this smiling brat, he couldn't help laughing. That's fine. You go up and replace Jérôme Boateng for me, let Podolski look after Alba, you go and play the attacking midfielder, entangle Xavi Alonso, and let Ozil Go up to me!

The current situation is that Spain is retreating across the board. If it really wants to counterattack, it will be difficult to pass through the German team's Sven Bender and Bastian Schweinsteiger, so the four players on the back line are a bit too much. Rather than doing this, it would be better to simply replace him.

Moreover, Jerome Boateng lacks the ability to assist. This player has played in all the games of the German team in the Confederations Cup. Now that the game is going on, his physical fitness is starting to fail. Rather than staying on the court, it is better to replace him. Step up your offense. Anyway, the main theme of the German team next is attack. Instead of being defensive.

The German team made substitutions. Yang Cheng made a substitution in the 72nd minute, replacing defender Jérôme Boateng with midfielder Toni Kroos. This was a very positive signal. Yang Cheng obviously wanted to continue. To further strengthen the team’s offense, this is also the first substitution adjustment for both sides in the entire game, and the score is still 0:0!”

After seeing the German team's substitutions, the on-site commentator was analyzing Yang Cheng's substitution intentions.

He didn't actually need to say anything. After everyone saw the substitution, they were able to understand the German team's intentions immediately, including the German team's players on the field, and naturally including Spain's head coach Del Bosque.

For Bosque, this game was dragged into a physical quagmire by Yang Cheng's team, because the game has been going on for 72 minutes and it is still 0:0. But his players are obviously starting to lose their physical fitness.

Now that the German team has made substitutions to strengthen its offense, Del Bosque has two options. One is to strengthen defense, and the other is to substitute Villa, whose physical fitness is obviously not good enough, and then wait for Yang Cheng to make a move.

If it is to strengthen the defense, Alba and Xavi come down and replace Albiol and Miguel Torres, allowing De La Red to return to the midfield he is familiar with and accustomed to, but in this way, Spain will completely lose On the wing, the offense will also be further frustrated, and the situation will be even worse than now.

If you choose to replace the forward, Del Bosque will consider using Torres, but in this case, is the defense reliable?

This is undoubtedly a choice with huge risks, and the key depends on how Del Bosque chooses.

Just when everyone was waiting for Spain's change of tactics, Bosque finally made a decision and replaced Villa with Torres. Obviously, he also wanted to continue to maintain the threat of counterattack. Even now, he still refuses Give up the belief in scoring goals.

After all, he is a head coach from Real Madrid. Bosque's substitution this time is full of courage and worthy of admiration! The on-site commentator said with regret. Compared with more and more utilitarian head coaches nowadays, Bosque This substitution is indeed worthy of recognition, but this does not mean that his substitution will definitely achieve the effect he wants.

When the game reached the 78th minute, Spain finally got an opportunity to attack. Alba quickly advanced along the left to the frontcourt, but Podolski did not relax at all and quickly returned all the way along the left. He chased him all the way to the right side of his team's penalty area, treating himself as a full-back.

Sven Bender also immediately retracted to the right side of the penalty area. He and Podolski formed a corner, forcing Alba and locking him near the corner flag pole, and then Podolski grabbed it.

Alba is small and flexible. When facing Podolski, he first wanted to use his body to block Podolski and protect the ball, and then he wanted to use his foot skills to pass the ball away from Podolski. Take it out.

Podolski's defensive ability is good. As soon as he saw Alba dribbling the ball, he suppressed Alba with his body, squeezed his body when the opponent dribbled the ball, and forced Alba to fall near the corner flagpole, but the referee But no foul was called. Podolski immediately kicked the ball to Sven Bender and rushed forward.

Sven Bender passed the ball to Hummels, who directly met the ball with a long pass and accurately landed at the feet of Podolski near the center line. The latter faced Miguel Torres's Defensively, dribble the ball and choose to cut inward diagonally and pass the ball to Toni Kroos in the middle.

Toni Kroos didn't stop the ball and passed it diagonally to Ozil's feet. Ozil quickly dribbled the ball forward, crossed the midfield and quickly counterattacked.

At this time, in the Spanish half, Ozil took the ball and advanced quickly. Thomas Muller ran out of the space on the left. Klose in the center and Podolski on the right were both quick to jump in, anytime and anywhere. They were ready to respond, but in front of them, Spain only had two defensive players, Arbeloa and Albiol, while Pique and others were quickly chasing back.

Ozil dribbled the ball diagonally to the left and advanced quickly. When he advanced to Spain's 32-meter area, Arbeloa found that he had no way to retreat and had to call out to his teammates around him. He gave up retreating and chose He grabbed the ball and forced Ozil.

From the moment he dribbles the ball forward, Ozil has been waiting for a defensive player to attack him, because once he attacks, it is equivalent to exposing the defensive gap. Therefore, when Arbeloa attacks, Ozil cannot When he got close, he sent a through ball into the penalty area behind Arbeloa.

Thomas Muller never slowed down and was waiting on the left side of the penalty area. As soon as he saw Ozil's pass coming, he quickly inserted into the penalty area, forcing Albiol to immediately rush forward to stop it. He is a direct threat to the goal.

Unexpectedly, Thomas Muller went down to the baseline from the left side of the small penalty area and passed the ball. It passed Albiol and landed behind the goal. There, Klose, who was responsible for outflanking and supporting, was already in place. Got it!
