Forwards: Klose, Gomez, Sameban Yehir.

When the official website of the German national team announced the 23-man roster submitted by the team to FIFA, the whole world was surprised. Especially when the German team was at Frankfurt Airport and preparing to leave for Brazil, they still refused. With Klose on crutches, everyone was puzzled and confused by Yang Cheng's decision.

Is it necessary to send Klose, who is still pulling a cane, to Brazil?

This is the doubt in everyone's mind, and many people are puzzled by Yang Cheng's decision. At least they think that from a personal scoring perspective, Gomez is no worse than Klose, so why choose Klose? ? And for this old guy who is still on crutches and preparing to retire this summer, Yang Cheng gave up players in their prime such as Gundogan and Schürrle? What is going on?

Many reporters gathered at the Sao Paulo Airport in Brazil. When they saw Yang Cheng leading the team out of the airport, they all asked this question to Yang Cheng and Klose. The former seemed to have been prepared and blocked all the players on his own. reporter.

I know what you are going to ask, but I'm sorry, I will not answer any questions about the roster, and your questions are not convincing at all unless you feel that you are more qualified than me to stand on the coaching bench of the German national team!

These words are indeed a bit harsh, but with Yang Cheng's current status, saying such words means that bringing Klose into the list is a fact that cannot be changed, even if Klose is injured. Even before he recovers from his illness, he will continue to keep him in the national team without hesitation.

With his dazzling coaching career in the past, a European Cup and a Confederations Cup, and impressive results in the qualifiers, Yang Cheng's choice has not been questioned too much, and no one dares to challenge his authority. At most, there are some The media believes that Yang Cheng's team is likely to suffer because of this choice.

One media outlet didn’t even know where it dug up the news.

It was believed that Klose would no longer be able to reappear on the court. The meniscus injury, coupled with the illnesses accumulated over the years in his career, made it impossible for the German veteran to return to the football field, and Yang Cheng took him The only purpose of going to Brazil is to give him an honorable and dignified retirement.

Remember when Ballack was kicked out of the national team, Yang Cheng accused Loew in order to support his beloved disciple?

We have never denied that Yang Cheng is an outstanding head coach. He has an extremely brilliant coaching resume. We also believe that Yang Cheng's German team is likely to continue to create brilliance in this World Cup in Brazil, but we Express doubts and worries about Yang Cheng’s choice of Klose!”

Yes, Yang Cheng's emphasis on feelings and loyalty has enabled him to get the love and recognition of the national team players, but he would rather give up so many outstanding players to choose Klose who cannot play. This has to be said. A failure in the roster will also bring hidden dangers to the German team’s World Cup journey!”

On the day the team arrived in Sao Paulo, national team leader Bierhoff accepted an interview with reporters: The decision to call Klose this time was not entirely made by Mr. Yang Cheng alone. All of us agreed. His decision is because, in our opinion, the current national team needs Klose very much, and we need him to return to the court!

I hope the outside world can stop doubting all this. Unless there are more unexpected injuries, otherwise, this will be the last flying list of the German team. We do not plan to make any more changes or adjustments to the player list!

Bierhoff's words also prove one thing, that is, the German national team is monolithic, and no one can try to cause division!

Schniersbach, the head coach of the German Football Association who followed the team to Sao Paulo, Brazil, was also interviewed: Mr. Yang Cheng is responsible for all matters concerning the national team. I believe that every decision he makes is for the national team. For the sake of his performance, we unconditionally trust and support his decision. All the Football Association’s statements on the roster are baseless speculation!”

The Chairman of the Football Association personally clarified the rumors. This also proves the Football Association's support and affirmation of Yang Cheng. It also allows everyone to see clearly who is the most powerful person in the German national team at present, and as Yang Cheng is very familiar with Cheng's Gran, as Nack said, unless Yang Cheng is fired, Klose will definitely stay on the Flyers roster.

I want to tell everyone who doubts Yang Cheng. The reason why you are reporters and fans, not Yang Cheng, is because you don't understand how important Klose's tactical significance is to this national team, at least for us. In the eyes of many people, there are currently two players in the national team who are very important. One is Klose, who provides the offensive axis in the frontcourt, and the other is Lahm, who provides strategic width. The former is undoubtedly more important than the latter. !”

In an interview, FIFA President Beckenbauer also expressed concern that Klose had not recovered from his injury.

A healthy Klose is the key to the German team winning the cup. I also support and agree with Yang Cheng's approach. Klose is irreplaceable. I hope he can recover soon!

Many German fan organizations have also prayed for Kgoze. They all pray for this striker who has made outstanding contributions to German football in the past ten years. They hope that he can recover as soon as possible and return to the green field as soon as possible.

But after the team arrived in Brazil, they began their final preparations. However, the World Cup schedule was gradually approaching, and the good news that all fans who cared about the German national team were waiting for never came out. How is it?

In the office of the Cotiya training base, Yang Cheng looked at Chris Mitt and Wolfat in front of him. Around them, other members of the coaching staff, as well as the Football Association [Head] Niersbach, the national Team leader Bierhoff and others were also present.

Everyone gathered here, all concerned about one thing, Klose's injury.

Progress is still slow, strenuous sports are temporarily unavailable! Wolfat shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Many, many players have recovered and recovered under his hands. Countless people have called him a miracle doctor and even almost given him the title of bringing back the dead. But this time, he really can't do anything to Klose.

The human body is difficult to understand, especially the bodies of sensitive players. Even a proficient player like Wolfart cannot make Klose recover in the shortest time, or let him recover in advance. Start getting into the field for acclimatization because this can be counterproductive.

Upon hearing Wolfart's conclusion, many people present sighed, because they all knew what it meant.

How long will it take? Yang Cheng seemed relatively calm. He had already made the fastest plan.

At worst, Klose is just watching this World Cup from the stands. Yang Cheng will still use all his abilities to win the championship, and then, as the media said, he will use a World Cup championship to give Klose glory. A decent retirement.

He is not afraid to admit that this is his selfishness for his beloved disciple, so what?

I don't know. The fastest it will take is a week. The worst... Wolfat's shoulders were slender, and everyone could guess the tone of his words. The worst it could be that he would never be able to watch it on the court again. When it comes to Klose, there is no time.

How is the player's mood? Yang Cheng asked.

Chris Mitt was very satisfied with this and nodded: The mood is pretty good, but there will definitely be disappointment, but I believe it will not have a big impact on him. After all, he is a veteran and knows everything well. !”

After playing football for so many years and suffering so many injuries, Klose knows very well that being sad and disappointed will not do any good in recovering from injuries. Now he has no way out. If he wants to repay Yang Cheng and repay all those who are waiting for him. People, that is to recover as soon as possible, then you cannot be sad.

After Yang Cheng heard this, he also smiled slightly. As long as Klose still has faith, he will believe in his players.

After putting aside Klose's injury worries, everyone began to study the next warm-up matches and group matches.

The German team's opponent in the warm-up match in Sao Paulo was Ecuador, who can also participate in the World Cup. This team has a very good record in the qualifying matches in South America. As a typical South American team, Ecuador is what Yang Cheng uses as a team. Colombia's imaginary enemy, testing the team's ball possession and game control.

The teams in South America are interesting and usually you can't measure them by European standards.

For example, you cannot measure their defenders by the standards of European defenders, because their defenders are probably technically better than many European midfielders, and some of their defensive players, in fact, are better than Southampton. The defensive players of these American teams all have strong organizational skills.

In other words, South American teams have some characteristics of South American teams. They will form their own football system based on their own characteristics. And if you want to use the European standards and systems to measure South America, As for the American teams, they will undoubtedly die miserably and terribly.

Therefore, in the history of South American football, it is almost rare to hear that they will invite head coaches from outside the South American continent to coach, because even the head coaches from Europe, which is known as the most advanced tactics in the world, cannot have a thorough understanding of The characteristics and characteristics of South American teams naturally cannot bring out good results.

Even if he is as brilliant as Yang Cheng, he cannot guarantee that he can succeed in South America, because there are some technical and tactical characteristics of his own that Yang Cheng himself may not understand.

However, with the advent of the information revolution, now generally responding to the call of the global village, South American teams are gradually absorbing the characteristics of some European teams, and there will also be some signs of Europeanization, but this kind of Europeanization It is more based on the traditional characteristics of South American teams.

The German team has also competed with South American teams many times. Last year, they played against Uruguay and Brazil, and they had some experience.

This time against Ecuador, Yang Cheng decided to go all out and try to use Ecuador to test the team.

Goalkeeper Neuer, the defense is Lahm, Badstuber, Hummels, Jerome Boateng, and the three midfielders are Bastian Schweinsteiger, St. Bender and Toni, Kroos, and the attacking midfielders are Thomas, Muller, Ozil and Reus respectively.

In the warm-up match against Ecuador, Yang Cheng still chose the 4330 no-forward tactic, and his choice was to attack after the opening, because the defense of South American teams is generally not as rigorous as that of European teams, and South American teams are generally not as rigorous in defense as European teams. American teams generally have a slower pace, so Yang Cheng's team speeded up the pace from the beginning, increasing the intensity of the attack and pressure.

Ecuador's biggest star is Valencia, who plays for Manchester United. This player is also Ecuador's offensive weapon. However, in this game, Yang Cheng arranged for his left wing to attack Ecuador's right wing, especially Lahm's. Press forward, forcing Valencia to be more involved in defense, thereby containing Ecuador's attack on the right.

The German team quickly took advantage of the overall strength of the team, as well as rigorous tactics and formation advantages to control the situation on the field. However, Ecuador seemed to be very uncomfortable with the fast and smooth passing and receiving cooperation of the German team. Their preferred way of playing is to control the ball at their feet, but once they do this in the game, they are immediately pressed and pressed by the German team.

In the 19th minute of the game, the German team took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field.

Tol... Klos passed an overhead pass and crossed the Ecuadorian defense. Royce successfully countered the offside quickly. After getting the ball, he rushed into the Ecuadorian penalty area. After being blocked, he stopped and turned around. , passed the ball to the back point, Thomas talked about Leer and then inserted a header to break the Ecuador goal, 1:0!

After controlling the situation of the game after the start and quickly seizing the initiative, the German team quickly gained a certain advantage. After breaking the deadlock on the field, the German team began to consciously take advantage of this advantage. , mobilize Ecuador and let the latter try to press out and fight.

In the first minute, Ecuador launched an attack and reached the 32-meter area of ​​the German team, but Valencia lost the ball due to the combination of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Lahm, who knocked back Badstuber. .

I saw a precise long diagonal pass from the Bayern central defender, passing the ball to the opponent's half-court threat area. I don't know when Thomas Ohler, who had moved from the wing to the same position as the Ecuadorian defense, succeeded in countering offside. Afterwards, he got the ball and reached the edge of the penalty area, volleyed, once again breaking the deadlock for the German team, 2:0!

After scoring two goals in a row, the German team seemed to have the advantage in terms of strength, and the score remained until the halftime break.

In the second half, Yang Cheng made large-scale substitution adjustments. He used Adler as the goalkeeper. The defense was Schmelzer, Badstuber, Mertesacker and Hwedes. The double midfielder was Lars Sedida and Khedira, the attacking midfielders are Gotze, Sameban Yehir and Podolski respectively, and the lone forward is Gomez.

A very important reason why Yang Cheng made a wide range of substitutions is that after Gomez came on the field, the German team's tactics had to change a lot, and this kind of big change will occur in the course of a game. It is difficult to complete, or it may take some time for players to adjust.

So in the second half, he used another group of people to play a two-wing tactic, stretching the two wings to widen Ecuador's defense and create scoring opportunities for Gomez, Samey and others in the middle. .

After the start of the second half, the German team began to play more concisely and faster. After all, in the first half, there were Schweinsteiger and Thor... Klos, who are experts in controlling the ball and controlling the rhythm. In the second half, Lars Seddie Both Khedira and Khedira are the kind of offensive and defensive masters who can make a hard bridge and a hard horse. How can they control the ball?

However, this style of hard bridge and hard horse has brought a great impact to Ecuador, especially the impact of Gomez, a powerful forward, which can be said to be almost unstoppable.

Although this center has many shortcomings and has considerable differences with Yang Cheng's tactics, it must be admitted that once he is given the environment and space to display his strength, he will be like a duck in water and out of control.

In the second half, Gomez scored twice to help Germany beat Ecuador. When they were leading by 3 goals, they were equalized by Ecuador, but in any case, the results in the warm-up match were pretty good.

Thomas Ohler in the first half and Gomez in the second half. Yang Cheng spoke highly of the performance of these two important scorers, especially Gomez. When the forward rushed forward, it was really a car. Even in Europe, few defenders can stop heavy tanks, let alone South American defenders. It can be said to be a direct crush.

Not surprisingly, the outstanding performance of the German team in this warm-up match also made many media say that the German team can forget about Klose, because both Gomez and Thomas Muller are in this game. They showed strong scoring ability in the warm-up match. Even if Klose returns from injury, he may not be better than them.

In an interview after the game, Yang Cheng also expressed that he was satisfied with the team's adjustment progress and the performance of the players. At the same time, he also believed that Gomez was fully capable of supplementing Klose's injury. The remaining problem is that he has to be more actively involved in the game.

Regarding the praise and affirmation from the head coach, Gomez also said, For me, the team's victory is the most important. As long as I can help the team win, I can complete all the tasks assigned by the head coach, even sitting on the bench. On the bench, but I also believe that when I appear on the court, I can also make contributions to the team that are not lost to anyone else!

Seeing Gomez taking the initiative to challenge, especially his high-spirited attitude, Yang Cheng was also satisfied, because he had always hoped that Gomez could become more enterprising and ambitious (to be completed) Continued
