Super Coach

Klose sat on the bench, his eyes staring at the game on the court from beginning to end.

This is the first time he has appeared on the court since this World Cup, the first time he has appeared on the match list, and the first time he has sat on the bench, so he can feel it. The live footage on the sidelines has given him several close-ups. .

As early as after the opening, when the fans at the scene heard that Yang Cheng had included Klose in the squad, everyone was ecstatic about the news because they were all looking forward to the moment when Klose would come back. , for German fans, Klose's comeback is not just because he has overcome injuries, but also has more meaning.

Will he be able to play? Can it be restored? Can he break Ronaldo's scoring record?

This has undoubtedly become a hot topic for fans around the world and media around the world to pay attention to!

Or it should be said that apart from who will be the final champion of this World Cup, the biggest suspense is whether Klose can break Ronaldo's scoring record, and this has also happened with Klose reappearing in the game roster. Everyone pays more attention to it because it means that Klose's chances are returning.

I believe Ronaldo's die-hard fans will feel a little relieved after seeing Gomez's outstanding performance. Because Gomez's outstanding performance means that Klose's opportunities are disappearing, unless he has an extraordinary performance, but this For a 36-year-old veteran who has just undergone knee meniscus surgery. is it possible?

Entering the second half with a 3:0 lead from the first half, the German team controlled the game from beginning to end. Argentina was losing ground. In order to save face, Savilla had to choose a defensive strategy in the end. He does not want his team to be bloodbathed by the German team like Chile.

Moreover, paying attention to defense does not mean being conservative. At best, it can only be said to be defensive counterattack.

Time seems to be being dragged. It was very slow, just like the situation on the court, slow and stalemate, which made people feel unhappy. It lacked the hearty joy of the first half, which was a bit disappointing.

But no wonder. We played so well in the first half, if we continue to play like this in the second half. That is unless Argentina's head is broken. Or Savilla wants to suffer one of the worst defeats of this World Cup.

Everyone noticed that some players on the German team's bench would come out to warm up from time to time, and Yang Cheng's first substitution occurred in the 57th minute. He replaced Thomas Muller with Royce. The leading scorer of the German national team played in all the games of the German team in the World Cup, and Yang Chengyi paid attention to protecting him.

Not long after Royce came on the field, Yang Cheng replaced Bastian Schweinsteiger with Gotze. Let Toni Kroos come back to play in the midfield and form a partnership with Sven Bender.

Letting Gotze play the attacking midfielder position was also a major change for the German team in the second half.

I see that Argentina has begun to pay attention to defense. The German team is also happy to follow the stick and strengthen its attack.

Reus, Gotze, and Podolski, these three offensive midfielders are all attackers with good skills and excellent speed. Under the training of Yang Cheng, Toni Kroos can also hit the ball very fast, at least It's not like Banega who always grinds slowly.

Klose sat on the sidelines and looked at Yang Cheng's back in front of him, and then looked at the court. He immediately realized what his head coach was thinking, or it could be said that Yang Cheng had been doing this all along. .

That is, when there is only one Mascherano in front of Argentina's defense, at least two of the three offensive midfielders of the German team must be threatening this area at the same time, suppressing Argentina's 32-meter area, and sometimes even more Reached 3.

In fact, to a certain extent, the competition on the football field can be subdivided into competitions in multiple different areas. In a fixed area, whoever has the advantage will be able to take the initiative in that area, so when the German team at least has When two or three players are pressed in the 32-meter area, Mascherano alone cannot prevent it.

To put it in the simplest terms, even if these three players don't run and simply stand there, as long as they can pass the ball and know how to pass the ball, Argentina can't hope to defend them unless they pull out. own defense line.

No movement without the ball has to be like this. With an excellent movement system without the ball like Germany, there is no need to say more.

Once this is achieved, what is lacking is actually to pass the ball to the feet of the three offensive midfielders in the 32-meter area in the shortest possible time during the transition between offense and defense, and create a 2-on-1 or two-on-one or two-on-one situation in the shortest possible time. It's a 3 versus 1 situation.

Looking at the three goals Argentina conceded just now, they were all changes created after the ball reached the 32-meter area!

Compared to Argentina, the German team's defensive organization is much tighter.

Although Argentina has Lavezzi, Messi and Aguero attacking from the front, Di Maria also frequently moves forward to participate, but in addition to the German team's defense and Sven Bender, Podolski is also actively involved Assist defense, so most of the time it's 5 against 4 or 6 against 4.

However, the German team rarely exposes open spaces. Their defense relies more on their own running without the ball and a strict fan-shaped defense system. From the moment the ball enters the 32-meter area, every player in the area will be eliminated. They are all cut into independent individuals to prevent them from fighting together to the greatest extent.

The personal abilities of Argentine players are indeed outstanding. For example, Messi and Aguero are both players with excellent personal abilities. However, once they encounter a tight defense, players with such strong personal abilities can fight one-on-one. But it’s hard to do one-on-two.

Today's football is no longer about individual ability or so-called skills, but about the team.

Our defensive task in this game is not to press or steal the ball, but to cut them apart and prevent them from fighting together! This is what Yang Cheng gave to all the players during the pre-game meeting. Defensive points of the game.

The team is far more important than the individual. The organizational operation of the team is far more important than individual performance!

Thinking of this, Klose couldn't help but think that in fact, Argentina had arranged a combination of Mascherano, Banega and Di Maria. Everyone had expected it. The German team had already won this game. Got it.

If Di Maria is replaced and a defensive midfielder is replaced, Argentina's situation may be better, but Savilla's first concern is how to maintain the team's offense. But he ignored the problem of his own midfield too much.

Perhaps, the opponents they encountered in the group stage and the top 16 knockout rounds were not strong enough, so they were a little overconfident! Klose secretly guessed.

This is not impossible. After the start, it was so smooth that it was easy to create an illusion and let Savilia fall into this illusion.

Just as Klose was analyzing the situation, the game time jumped steadily to 65 minutes. The German team continued to maintain its advantage on the field, and the Argentine players' formation was still a bit loose. Especially when attacking. The midfield was severely suppressed, and the front trident did not pose much of a threat in this game.

Milo!! Assistant coach Paul Bayer quickly walked back from the front and came to the bench, shouting loudly.

Klose raised his head and looked at the assistant coach, whose face was a little red because he was too loud, and saw him pointing in the distance, Go and warm up. Come on in 5 minutes!

Klose's eyes lit up, this was the last substitution of the game. Yang Cheng kept it to himself, and his meaning was very clear. Go up and play for a while to get familiar with the rhythm and atmosphere of the game. After all, you haven't had formal training or competition for such a long time. You should catch up on the rhythm and feel the familiar atmosphere.

Without the slightest hesitation or any unnecessary words, Klose stood up from the bench, took off his coat, turned around, jogged towards the sidelines, and started a warm-up. After all, he was older. He does need some time to warm up his body. Even though he has been warming up frequently during the game, now he has to play!

Look, my God, Klose is warming up. Is Yang Cheng preparing to replace his capable striker? The commentator and the camera on the sidelines noticed Klose warming up.

When the scene of Klose warming up appeared on the big screen in the stands, all the German fans in the audience let out a deafening cheer. Countless German fans shouted Klose's name in unison to support him. Cheer him up, encourage him, support him, and hope he can perform well after playing.

Klose was warming up while waving to the fans, but his warm-up activities were not compromised at all, because he knew his situation very well. He had to warm up his body to the level of the game, so that he could perform as soon as he got up. Have good performance.

To be honest, he didn't know how much he could recover, because he had been lacking formal training since the meniscus surgery on his right knee, and it had only been three days since he returned to the team's training ground. During the three days, his training condition was not very good, and his performance was much worse than before the operation.

It is because of this that Yang Cheng gave Gomez the main forward. Klose also agreed with this, but now Yang Cheng lets him come on as a substitute. In fact, he hopes that he can find his form through the stimulation of the game. It would be best if he could rediscover the passion and rhythm of his game that used to belong to him.

In the 71st minute, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the German team replaced Gomez with Klose.

We saw that Klose came on, and he replaced Gomez, who performed well in the game and scored twice!

All the German fans in the audience were shouting. I believe that not only here, but in every city in Germany and every German fan around the world, they must be shouting for Klose to play again.

It is very, very difficult. At the age of 36, he had meniscus surgery just before the World Cup. Everyone thought that he would not be able to make it to the World Cup, but Yang Cheng still stubbornly brought him to the World Cup. We still stubbornly gave him support and encouragement, and we finally saw the moment when Klose returned to the field!

When the on-site commentator said this, his tone was full of sighs, because he clearly understood that whether it was for Klose, Yang Cheng, or the German team. Klose's return to the field represents not only the player himself, but the spirit of this team, the spirit of never giving up!

Sometimes, the flag and soul of a team depend on one player after another, using their own hard work and their own lives to write it. Not just by talking.

Gomez and Klose hugged tightly on the sidelines. Even though the two were competitors, he still admired the veteran. He also learned a lot from Klose. He learned a lot from Klose. Ze also saw his own shortcomings, so after Klose missed the game due to injury, he secretly swore in his heart. He must use actual actions and performance to fill the shortcomings caused by Klose's absence.

Now, he is doing very well. He has done everything he can do!

Many players came over on their own initiative. Hug Klose and wish him a good performance. Many fans are applauding Klose for returning to the court, [Milo! Milo! ! Milo! ! 】The shouts were deafening, and he deserved it.

Returning to the football field and standing on the field again, Klose took a deep breath. He felt that there was a faint smell of sweat in the air. It was the smell of sweat from the players working hard on the court, and it was a bit bitter. But there is a kind of boiling magic.

He was standing at the front of the team, closest to the opponent's goal. What he saw was Garay and Fernandez, who were facing formidable enemies. Both of them looked at him with malicious intent, as if they were going to attack him anytime, anywhere. Then he hit his right foot with a hard tackle. This is the attitude that all defenders have towards the injured.

But Klose was obviously not going to be frightened by this. He smiled at the two of them, which actually made the two Argentine central defenders, who were considered juniors, a little confused and quickly smiled with them.

When the game restarted, Klose began to frequently weave back and forth in front. His running awareness was as good as ever. This was something deeply imprinted on his mind that no one could erase, but his body was obviously still in shape. Unable to adapt to this high-intensity game rhythm, every time he gets the ball, when the opponent approaches, he feels as if pressure is coming on him and immediately passes the ball out.

Every time the ball reaches Klose's feet, it seems to be a transition. Sometimes there are great opportunities, but Klose still hands the ball over quickly, letting the opportunity go to waste. And sometimes he And because the ball was released a little late, the ball was intercepted.

All this was seen by Yang Cheng on the sidelines. He felt that this was normal, because Klose had been lacking competition and training for a long time. Now he needs to make constant mistakes to grasp the rhythm of the game as soon as possible and let his The body re-adapts to this high-intensity game atmosphere so that he can show his strength.

Otherwise, he will always be like now, his consciousness is in place, but his body can't keep up!

I hope he can make good use of these 20 minutes! Yang Cheng seemed to be mumbling to himself.

Benitez and Ballack heard it, and both of them supported Yang Cheng's decision. If these 20 minutes, which have no meaning, can be exchanged for Klose's combat effectiveness, then for Germany For the team, it’s definitely a good deal.

Therefore, after Yang Cheng came on the court, Yang Cheng's request for all players was to put the ball at Klose's feet as much as possible.

However, as Klose's mistakes increased, the German team also faced the threat of Argentina's counterattack, especially Messi. This superstar tried his best to get a game back for Argentina, so he and Aguero fought in front It was very ruthless, and every counterattack posed a threat, just one goal away.

A 3-goal lead. For Yang Cheng, unless Argentina scores 3 goals, it will be meaningless to the outcome of the game. Therefore, he does not particularly care about this matter. He hopes more to help Klose adapt again. The pace of the game.

As time passed by, the Argentine players' counterattack became more and more chaotic, especially when Savilla replaced Aguero with Higuain, which was originally a substitution to strengthen the team's offense. But instead, Argentina's counterattack lost a greater threat. At least in the counterattack, Aguero's threat was much greater than Higuain.

The German team's offense also revolved around Klose as always. Many passes were sent to his feet, which gave Klose a lot of opportunities. However, the German forward either stopped the ball and coordinated his steps. The shot is not good enough, or there is a problem with predicting the path of the ball, and the shot is always missed.

After playing for 20 minutes, Klose didn't even have a shot. This has to be said to be a disappointing figure. At least it also proves that Klose's recovery is not ideal, and can even be said to be serious. not ideal.

It wasn't until the second minute of stoppage time that the German team finally had another chance.

Lahm on the left took advantage of Argentina's opportunity to attack, counterattacked and dribbled the ball forward quickly. After forming a one-two with Royce around Zabaleta on the left, he quickly dribbled the ball past Argentina. The defense line is on the left side of the penalty area, preparing to cut into Argentina's penalty area.

Fernandez rushed outside to intercept, but Ram was very fast. After a sudden stop, he suddenly accelerated. After getting rid of Fernandez, he went down to the baseline and passed a low ball to the center.

This pass was not fast or powerful, but the angle was perfectly chosen. It almost passed Garay, who was chasing after him, and landed in front of Klose, who was also running back quickly. But his speed was not as fast as Garay's, and he was a little behind, so he got the ball on the right side of Garay's side.

At this time, a huge goal appeared in front of him, and all he had to do was to take the ball and poke it into the goal.

As long as he is not blocked by Romero, then he will have a shot, and he will tie Ronaldo's total of 15 goals in the World Cup! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) RQ
