Super Coach

If the first half of the game was full of passion, although it did not have the exquisite passing and receiving coordination that is so admirable, it was still enjoyable to watch. Then in the second half, the performance of the two teams was It can be described as relatively boring.

The reason why I say it is relative is because in the second half, the German team scored another goal.

However, this goal was not so much scored by the German team as it was sent by Colombia.

Zapata and Yepes once played as central defenders in Milan. There is no need to doubt the latter's strength, but his height makes him suffer when facing forwards who are taller than him. As for Zapata, his mistakes from time to time are very annoying. It's hard to trust him.

Pekerman arranged the combination of Yepes and Zapata in the hope that the two could complement each other, but the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, especially when trailing by 2 goals, the situation is always firmly controlled by the German team. At the time, the Colombian central defender's psychology was also undergoing subtle changes.

When he was in Udinese, Zapata's performance made the whole world very optimistic, but after switching to Villarreal, he was like most Serie A defenders when they arrived in La Liga. He suffered from serious discomfort. Moreover, this period of time in the Yellow Submarine has worn away the confidence he finally built up in Serie A.

Although he later switched to Milan, his performance has never been able to return to his performance at Udinese, not even half of it. The most important thing is that he has never regained his confidence.

Just like when the game reached the 61st minute. The German team made a long pass from the backcourt to find Gomez. Zapata steadily grabbed the first point, stopped the ball directly, and controlled it at his feet. This could have given Colombia an opportunity to organize calmly, but when When he saw Gomez starting to press, he made a hasty clearance.

Gomez was beaten twice in a row, and fell into the hands of Gomez many times in this game. Coupled with the lack of self-confidence for many years, Zapata seriously lacked self-confidence, so he was worried and scared when he saw Gomez rushing towards him. However, this hurried clearance kick was accidentally missed. .

The ball fell to Thomas Muller on the left, who was right between the Colombian defense.

After getting the ball, he dribbled into the penalty area, although Yepes immediately stepped forward to block it. But Thomas Muller made a cross. Moved the ball from the left side of the goal to the right side.

Royce didn't waste his teammates' pass. He rushed over and easily pushed the ball into the net, 3:0!

This mistake and loss of the ball surprised everyone present, not only Zapata, but also his teammates. Even the players of the German team felt incredible, because this should have been a guaranteed opportunity. Zapata had many choices, but he chose the most unreasonable one. What's even worse is that he made an unforgivable mistake!

Obviously, this was a serious mistake caused by lack of concentration. Zapata must bear all the responsibility for this. In this game, he was also the worst player on the Colombian defense, conceding three goals. It has an inseparable relationship with him, and this may also make Pekerman reconsider the defense!

The on-site commentator said with regret after seeing the German team rewrite the score to 3:0.

Originally, everyone was optimistic about Colombia because this team had a Serie A-level defense line, but who could have imagined that this defense line was penetrated by the German team three times in this game. In the end, this is just Colombia's past ten years. A replica of several years ago.

It seems powerful, but once the critical moment comes, it always disappoints!

Zapata's performance in this game was indeed unconvincing. The German team often looked for Gomez, and Zapata lost 7 of the 9 direct confrontations with Gomez, including two. This success also includes the mistake just now, and this report card is the same as the result obtained by Colombian striker Falcao.

In the contest between Falcao and the two central defenders of the German team, the one-on-one success rate was 23%, which is similar to Zapata's one-on-one success rate. However, you must know that Falcao is a forward, and he is from Germany. The focal point of the team's defense, but Zapata is a central defender. This success rate can be said to be extremely bad.

However, the German team's three midfielders did a great job of suppressing the Colombian midfielder. Especially when passing forward, they actively cut off Colombia's pass to Falcao, allowing this traditional shooter to play in the game. It's hard to get a chance to get the ball smoothly.

Falcao is a bit similar to Gomez. Both of them are traditional shooters who need someone to pass the ball to him, rather than scorers like Messi and Ronaldinho who can create opportunities by themselves. Therefore, when the passing line is cut off, it is difficult for Falcao to pose a threat in front.

Both teams were stuck in the middle, but unlike the German team who actively opened up the wings, Colombia's wings were firmly suppressed by the German team. The latter, with its three midfielders, obviously allowed the full-backs to participate in the attack more decisively and actively Open up the wing attack and then suppress Colombia's wing.

Without the wings and a stalemate in the middle, Colombia's offense can be imagined.

After scoring the third goal of the game, Yang Cheng also began to make substitutions. He replaced Gomez, who scored twice, with Samed Yesil. The latter won the game. All the German fans cheered and applauded.

He is definitely the best player of the German team in this game, and all of this is inextricably linked to the loose space for him to play created by Yang Cheng.

Samed Yeshir replaced Gomez, Schmelzer replaced Lahm, and Ozil replaced Thomas Muller. Yang Cheng's three substitutions were all made one after another. The German team was completely After taking control of the situation, Colombia lost three goals and was demoralized and could no longer pose a threat to the German team.

This is Samed Yesil's first appearance on a big stage like the World Cup, although Yang Cheng gave him a chance to perform for 25 minutes. But it is a pity that the German youngster failed to perform well under the control of Yepes and Zapata.

Facts have proved that Zapata got two one-on-one confrontation success rates after Yesil came on the court, which also greatly improved his one-on-one confrontation success rate in this game.

As for Schmelzer and Ozil, Yang Cheng wanted them more to find their form after playing and get familiar with the rhythm of the game. After all, after 3:0, the German team had begun to slow down... When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all the German fans in the audience stood up and expressed their admiration for the team's performance. Warm applause, everyone is happy that the team can successfully win the first game of the World Cup group stage.

Captain Lahm, who was substituted, did not return to the locker room, but remained on the bench after the game. He led his teammates to the stands where German fans gathered and thanked this group of fans who supported and encouraged the team throughout the game. This move also earned them recognition and cheers from all fans.

The game is over. The German team defeated the Colombian team 3:0 with Gomez's brace and Reus' goal at the New Water Source Stadium in El Salvador. Pekerman's team did not As some outside fans and professionals expected, they were immediately upset in the first game of the group, but they suffered a complete defeat!

The German team that lost Klose did not show any embarrassment on the offensive end. Gomez's two goals proved it with facts. The impact of Klose's absence on the German team is not fatal. He will be the German team The most powerful arrow in the offense. He will also be a powerful scorer worthy of everyone’s trust and recognition.”

Regarding the remarks of the on-site commentator, Klopp, who is responsible for the live broadcast commentary in Germany, obviously has a completely different view. He believes that Gomez's outstanding performance has nothing to do with the losses caused by Klose.

We should see that Gomez did perform extremely well, and Thomas Muller and Royce have also improved greatly compared to the warm-up match against Portugal, but this cannot be the reason for Klose's absence. A piece of evidence that the loss was not big.”

For a forward like Klose, when playing against a weak team, whether you play Gomez, or even Podolski or Samed Yesil, the difference is not obvious, because From my observation, the German team’s ability to advance to 32 meters is definitely the best in the world. When facing weak teams, the German team’s midfield and backfield can create endless opportunities.”

In this game against Colombia, Yang Cheng played Bastian Schweinsteiger, Sven Bender and Khedira, but the team still created 17 shooting opportunities in the entire game and only scored 3 goals. Goal, this just proves that we still have a lot of problems in the 32-meter area, otherwise, we can definitely score more goals and a bigger score!

Of course, it's not that Gomez's performance is poor, but that for the time being, this forward cannot replace Klose's position in the national team. I believe this may not be too obvious in the group stage. , but in the knockout rounds, in the strong dialogue, when the opponent deploys targeted defensive tactics, we will see it more clearly!

As for the host's question about how far the German team can go this time, Klopp said that he was not sure and did not dare to make casual comments, but he felt that Yang Cheng's team was still strong despite not having Klose. Very powerful, still the most powerful contender for the championship... Congratulations, Mr. Yang Cheng! Although Pekerman lost, he still chose to congratulate Yang Cheng with great grace.

He did not lose this game unjustly. It was indeed because he and his team were inferior in skill, especially in the opening game, which directly led to the overall passiveness in the game. After the German team scored the second goal, The team's momentum was dissipated by the German team, and they were unable to adjust even after the game.

You are so tenacious! Yang Cheng also smiled and shook hands with Pekerman. After a polite hug, the two stood on the sidelines to communicate. Your biggest problem is mainly psychological. After all, you are still lacking. Be patient and steady.”

Pekerman nodded. Sometimes the opinions from opponents are more objective and fair, and Yang Cheng's words are also what he has been most worried about. The German team defeated Colombia. This psychological factor is also very important.

There are only two ways to adjust a team's mental illness. One is to let the team mature and improve through the accumulation and precipitation of time. The other is to rely on strong and powerful means to combine all the methods. People are twisted into a rope, the former is no longer suitable for Colombia, and the latter needs you to become stronger!

Yepes, the center of Colombia's defense, is 38 years old. No matter how hard he works, no matter how good his condition is, how long can he continue to play? It is estimated that he will retire after the World Cup. By then, Colombia's defense will face a new round of turmoil and adjustments.

There are also several midfield stars, including Falcao. This Colombian striker is 28 years old and in his prime. If this period of time is missed, the pair of players. for Colombia. It's all a big loss.

There is a saying that goes well, if you pass this village, there will be no shop like this!

Yang Cheng said this to Pekerman. In fact, he was not worried at all that Colombia would pose a threat to the German team. In other words, he was even eager to encounter Colombia again, because that would mean that the German team could Take a step forward more smoothly.

In his opinion, Colombia looks like a strong lineup. In fact, the weakness is very obvious, compared with the German team's comprehensive and balanced lineup. It is difficult for Colombia to get an advantage from the German team. There is a big gap in the strength of the two teams.

Come on, Mr. Pekelman! Yang Cheng patted Pekelman on the shoulder, turned around and left.

Colombia lost to Germany 0:3 in the first game of the group stage. It can be said that Colombia was forced into a desperate situation. If Pekerman is brave enough, he may be able to lead the team to stand out from the group, but how far it can go is hard to say. If Pekerman is not courageous enough, then Colombia's World Cup journey will stop at the group stage... Colombia's strength is not as bad as the score shows. This is a very capable team. Our game It’s not as easy as many people imagine!

At the press conference after the game, when Yang Cheng asked reporters about his views on the game, he did not belittle his opponent at all because of his victory. This made Pekerman sitting next to him I was secretly grateful.

At least Yang Cheng is doing his best to save Columbia and his face.

I am very satisfied with the performance of the players. I feel that every one of our players was very focused on executing the team's tactics in this game. This is the basis for our victory. The key to our victory is that we successfully put the game into play. Dragging into a rhythm that Colombia is not familiar with, and using the rhythm to defeat the opponents, they did not perform as well as they should.

It was not easy for us because the opponent was a very strong South American team, but I am very happy. We did a great job and achieved good results.

Faced with Yang Cheng's analysis, the reporters at the scene also gave high praise. Strictly speaking, the German team only played well in half of this game, that is, in the first half, the German team's offense was very impactful. The game was very exciting and enjoyable to watch, but in the second half, the game seemed very dull.

But compared to the games between Brazil and the United States, or Spain, the German team's performance in this game was at least within the range of not disappointing.

Getting these three points is very important for our team. I also emphasized repeatedly before the game that for us, this is a crucial game. It is not just about the three points, it is not just about the three points. It’s related to the team’s qualifying, but it’s also related to the team’s morale and start.”

Four years ago, we encountered a lot of problems in the World Cup. Our group stage performance was not ideal and some problems occurred. I told my players that I did not want them to be affected by what happened four years ago. We’re not the same team we were four years ago and we don’t have anything to prove anymore and I hope they put their baggage down and come and compete.”

However, I have always told them that we lost to Spain in the final four years ago. Since then, I believe that including me, all the players, and even all the fans, we have achieved great results in the past four years. We have achieved good results, but we always seem to be lacking something, losing something.”

This time, we are participating in the World Cup again. We have only one goal, and that is to get back what we lost four years ago. We have to fill the shortcomings in each of our hearts in the past four years. We have to use a To prove ourselves as champions, this is the best way for us to wash away the humiliation we suffered four years ago!”

Of course, I believe my players are also very clear. To achieve this, we need to go all out in every game and every one of our players needs to work together. We can only get the right attitude. Only then can you have the last laugh!”

After losing the World Cup four years ago, Yang Cheng shouted that he would win the World Cup in four years. Now Germany is the number one favorite to win the World Cup. At this time, no one should doubt that Yang Cheng's slogan of winning the World Cup is arrogance. .

And now that the team's morale is good, Yang Cheng feels that it is necessary to burn a fire in the hearts of all the players at this time, so that they can once again rekindle the determination they had after losing the final four years ago.

There were reporters at the scene who asked about Klose. The German forward was sitting in the stands accompanied by his teammates. A reporter met him outside the stadium and saw that he was no longer on crutches, so he asked about Yang Cheng. Regarding Klose’s situation.

We are still unable to determine the time when he will return to the game. Although we are all eager to return to the game as soon as possible, this needs to respect the decision of the team doctor, and I believe Klose himself is also eager to return to the game. I have great confidence in him, and we change clothes. His attitude towards this is also very optimistic. We are a united whole, and all of us are waiting for the moment when he returns!
