Super Coach

\u003e June 23, South Africa time, 20:30, Johannesburg Football City Stadium.

The atmosphere on the scene became very intense before the game started. Everyone could feel that this was a life and death battle. The games between Australia and Serbia were held at the same time to ensure fairness and justice. This also made both duels full of excitement. There is a life-or-death atmosphere, and the person who loses the game will be expelled from the World Cup.

The strategy formulated by the German team is to attack and attack from the beginning.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Deisler sent a stunning diagonal through ball, which accurately found Gomez. However, Gomez did not stop when he picked up the ball, resulting in a missed opportunity. He had a good chance to score, but was later interfered with and his low shot was saved by the goalkeeper. He missed a good opportunity in vain.

Then came Schweinsteiger's straight overhead pass, which found Gomez, but he didn't hold it firmly.

In the 6th minute, the German team played a small-scale cooperation in the frontcourt. Ozil found Thomas Muller, who came over from the left to get the ball and then shot a long shot, slightly higher.

After that, the German team attacked all the way, taking advantage of the momentum after the opening, hoping to win the game in one go.

Live broadcasts of the World Cup games frequently found Yang Cheng sitting in the front row behind the German coaching bench. Sitting on his left and right were Heidi Klum and Sienna Miller, and Charles's wife, Charlize Theron sat alone on the rostrum with Merkel and Beckenbauer.

In the row behind Yang Cheng were Benitez and others. Paul Bayer and Tim Hanke entered the stadium and sat in an inconspicuous place on the coaching bench. They always kept in touch with Yang Cheng by phone. .

Thomas Muller needs to open more gaps to make room for Ram's forward penetration!

Deisler's position should be returned a little, and Boateng should give me a better position!

Ozil gets the ball more, makes more breakthroughs, and moves forward boldly. Ask him. What are you afraid of?

Did Gomez not eat today? Why does he keep making mistakes when stopping the ball?

After Lahm moves forward, Bastian Schweinsteiger must pay attention to keep up, and Friedrich must pay attention to fill in for Lahm!

Yang Cheng kept directing the players on the court through phone calls, although he was not the real acting head coach. But in fact, he was performing his duties as head coach, and his words were conveyed to the players on the court through Flick.

14th minute,

The German team got a chance at the front of the penalty area. Thomas Muller and Lahm formed a cooperation on the left. After the two hit the wall, Thomas Muller got the ball and passed it to Ozil. The defense at the front of the penalty area They were all attracted by Thomas Muller. Ozil dribbled the ball into the penalty area to form a single shot.

But this guy's left-foot push shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, and he once again missed a good scoring opportunity.

They are obviously too nervous! Benitez looked over from the back row, shook his head and sighed.

Psychological quality, this is what Yang Cheng is most dissatisfied with about this group of German players. He can't understand why the German team's previous careless and rough character seems to be ignored by this group of players. Is it weakened a lot?

The score over there is still 0:0! Chris Schmidt was paying close attention to another game.

Yang Cheng explained it before the game. It is forbidden for coaches and players to inquire about and convey the score of another game, because he wants all players to do their best to win the game without knowing it.

Ghana now has the advantage in the group. So they seem more relaxed and play more calmly than us! Yang Cheng frowned and analyzed, Now they are playing defensive counterattacks, and the three midfielders protect the defense. , the ability to restrict space is too strong, and it is difficult for our short pass penetration to create a threat!

In the first 15 minutes of the first half, the German team created two of the most threatening attacks. One was Gomez's single shot after the opening, but the result was not stopped, and the other was Ozil's single shot. He didn't score a goal, and missed the two best opportunities in vain. What else could Yang Cheng say?

Ghana's three midfielders are Kevin Boateng, Essien and Annan. All three are the kind of midfielders who can't run to death. Perhaps in terms of ball control and passing ability, they are not as good as the German team. But when it comes to running, intercepting and stealing, and stalking, the German team is really no match for Ghana.

It's time to slow down! Benitez said, after 15 minutes of attacking, especially after Ghana adapted to the German team's rhythm and became more confident as they defended, Germany's rhythm began to slow down. After all, they It's impossible to run a fast-paced offense all the time.

Let them be careful about Ghana's counterattack and don't accept too much at once! Yang Cheng explained on the phone.

But it was obvious that the players still made mistakes. The Ghana team played a very threatening counterattack. After taking the ball, forward Ayo deceived Jerome Boateng with a fake move and then passed the ball. Ji'an's header was missed by No. Il lifted the crossbar.

This goalkeeper with a general style has performed very well in this World Cup and has completely established himself in the national team.

When Yang Cheng in the stands saw Garner's counterattack coming directly to the doorstep, he had the urge to vomit blood and kicked the guardrail so hard that he almost wanted to curse.

Don't always think of this team as your Real Madrid! Heidi Klum held his hand and felt that this guy got excited as soon as the game came. It's really worrying. If he continues like this, will he be like Huo Huo? Does Leal have a heart attack like that?

That's right, look how excited he is! Sienna also complained.

Yang Cheng sighed, I don't think of them as Real Madrid, but I think they shouldn't!

After four years of training by Yang Cheng, Real Madrid has now gradually matured. The overall tactical system is very stable. The players are very familiar with and understand the entire system, so that they know what they should do anytime and anywhere in every game. How to do it, so they rarely make such mistakes.

Again, too nervous! Benitez commented.

Yang Cheng sighed, This is not a universal excuse, Rafa!

The Spanish fat man smiled and stopped answering. Of course he knew this was not an excuse, Have you noticed? This team is very good at taking advantage of the situation, but once they encounter difficulties or are in adversity, they will appear very nervous. Even helpless!”

Of course Yang Cheng knows this. This is also an old problem. He lost to Spain in the European Cup final. Yang Cheng once said that a sheep cannot lead a pack of wolves, and now he still has the same opinion as before.

A team that is always good at taking advantage of the situation, do you think it is possible to win the championship? Yang Cheng asked.

Benitez raised his eyebrows. In fact, he didn't think Germany had any chance of winning this year, whether it was Loew coaching or Yang Cheng taking over now. He is not optimistic about it. In his opinion, the German team has too many problems now and they are too obvious.

Relatively speaking, the flaws in the lineup are easier to deal with, but the psychological problems are not so easy to solve.

He firmly believes that Yang Cheng also understands this, so he doesn't want to lead the team in name only, maybe for this World Cup. The goal of the German team should be to qualify from the group and nothing more, or Yang Cheng can be more magical. But it is almost impossible to win the championship, because they also have the most powerful opponent, Spain.

After Bosque suffered a setback in the first round, he made determined adjustments. Now he begins to rely heavily on the Real Madrid team. De La Red replaced Busquets and formed a three-midfielder with Xavi and Xavi Alonso. Ines Tower, David Silva and Villa formed a trident, plus the full-backs participated in the attack and the midfielder inserted after. Spain showed strong control of the game. Even if they won 1 goal in every game, they all won very steadily.

It can be said that Spain has a strong imprint of Yang Cheng, whether it is personnel configuration or tactical characteristics. Del Bosque is obviously learning in the direction of Yang Cheng, and he has indeed shown strong and stable strength, which is something that the current German team does not possess.

Yang Cheng led the German team and met the Spanish national team composed of the Real Madrid internationals he had cultivated. He had no chance of winning!

Forget it if we lose this game. If we advance, we have to find a way to create favorable conditions in the game as much as possible! Yang Cheng said helplessly.

Taking charge of a team that is not good at playing against the wind, Yang Cheng does not have enough time to adjust slowly now, so he can only do the opposite. Since the players like to play against the wind, then create a situation where the ball is against the wind and let them Go play.

If you really fight like this, you have to sell the iron! Benitez said.

To create a tailwind, they have to attack frantically from the beginning of the game and strive to create a one-sided situation. This requires the German team to find the opponent's loopholes and then seize the opponent's loopholes to fight desperately. This is a risk and Crisis-coexisting tactics.

If the opponent fails to stop it and collapses, the German team will be unstoppable. But once the opponent blocks it, Germany will probably be annihilated, because if you attack too hard, you will not be able to defend yourself from behind, especially if you encounter such a top-notch opponent. team.

Sell it, sell it. If I make it out of the group, I will be holding the Double Heaven Supreme in my hand. Is there any bet I dare not place? Yang Cheng also became angry. As long as he makes it out of the group, he will have no burden or pressure. Just dare to fight!

In fact, Yang Cheng did not dare to fight too hard in this game. In the first half, he focused on stability, because the most important thing for the German team now is to qualify from the group, so he tried to stabilize the situation in the first half so as not to lose. , of course it is good to have a chance to score. If there is no chance, stabilize the players' emotions first, and then strive to make adjustments and counterattack in the second half.

Of course, the German team is a team with a profound imprint of Yang Cheng, and its ability to create opportunities is really not limited. In 15 minutes, taking advantage of Ghana's unsteady footing, he created two single shots in a row, which sadly destroyed Gomer. Neither Thomas nor Ozil scored, which can only make Yang Cheng cry with his head in his arms. Is it possible that he can personally replace them on the field?

…………

…………

Ghana's midfield interception and hardness are very strong. Kevin Boateng, Essien, Annan, these three beast-level midfielders are enough to make people admire Ghana's midfield hardness.

In the first half, except for the German team's offensive advantage in the first 20 minutes, the rest of the time was in a tug-of-war with Ghana. Although Germany had the advantage in technology and ball control, Ghana's midfield suppression was very good. It caused a lot of trouble for Germany, especially after the midfield lost control, the team's current situation was in danger.

Actually, we should add a control point on the central defender! Benitez said.

In the development trend of football explained by Yang Cheng, a very important point is control.

Why is the German team's central defender's slow turning problem so easily caught and exploited by opponents?

Careful analysis shows that the German team did not press their opponents enough. Loew's team excessively pursued beauty and smooth cooperation, and lost the pressure on their opponents. This made their midfield and frontcourt pressure unable to provide timely support to the defense. With effective protection, the opponent can easily threaten the back line of defense.

Looking at today’s football world, from club to national team. How many of the top teams don't emphasize on-the-spot counterattacks and midfield and frontcourt pressure? Pressure has become an indispensable and important element of today's football tactics, but Germany has not done enough in this regard.

Second, Germany’s control is insufficient.

Every defensive line will have problems, Real Madrid is high ball. Barcelona also has high balls and Pique's turn, but once pressure and control are achieved, this problem will be minimized, and the opponent will find that the ball and space are controlled by the opponent, making it difficult to exploit.

The German team's midfield control is not strong to begin with. There are Ozil and Deisler in the frontcourt who can respond, but that is the center of gravity of the opponent's defense, and it is not very useful in itself. Unless you have a player like Messi who almost never loses the ball after getting it, there is no tactical significance. It's not very big, but behind it, there must be a point in the defense.

That's why I want to see how much Sebastian Kyle can recover! Yang Cheng sighed.

Bad Stuber is good, but he's still too young! Benitez smiled. He could understand Yang Cheng's difficulties.

Modern football is all about attacking from the back. Which other team's attack starts from the midfield?

Then there is a player with outstanding ball-playing ability on the back line, which plays a decisive role. So Real Madrid has Thiago Silva, Barcelona has Pique, and Chelsea are also looking for such players now. Mourinho really can't find them, so he wants to poach Yaya Tu from Barcelona. Lei, let the latter play central defender.

The midfielder retreats to play as a central defender, which in itself is an important measure to strengthen the control and ball-playing ability of the defense line. Almost all the central defenders in Real Madrid can play as a defensive midfielder, in order to strengthen the ball-playing and organizational capabilities of the defense line.

On the contrary, it is the two central defenders of the current German team, Mertesacker and Friedrich. Neither of them had such awareness.

While they were talking, the first half of the game ended with a score of 0:0. Yang Cheng got news from another stadium that the match between Serbia and Australia was also 0:0.

It seems that we are going to fight hard in the second half! Yang Cheng chuckled.

…………

…………

Your performance in the first half was very good, I'm very satisfied!

In the locker room at halftime. Yang Cheng, who came from the stands, did not express his dissatisfaction with the players, because they are all under great psychological pressure now, and if they are reprimanded again, it will only be counterproductive.

A mature head coach must know how to control his temper, know when to get angry and when to provide encouragement.

But we seemed a little too sloppy in the final pass and scoring. We must pay attention to it in the second half!

The players were sweating profusely, but they all listened carefully. This was the first game that Yang Cheng directed them to. There are many people in this team who dream of joining Yang Cheng's team. Now that they got what they wanted, none of them dared to be careless, for fear of leaving a bad impression on Yang Cheng.

Mesut! Yang Cheng looked at Ozil, After the start of the second half, your area of ​​activity should be larger. If you move forward, you should be able to interfere with the opponent's central defender. If you retreat, you should be able to beat Essien for me. Pull people out, do you understand what I mean?

Ozil drank water and nodded heavily.

Ghana's defensive system is not rigorous and has many gaps. We must be good at seizing their gaps and taking advantage of them. Therefore, after the start of the second half, Thomas Muller, Deisler and Ozil all entered the 32-meter area for me. , run more, look for more gaps, and dismember the Ghana team’s defense!”

As long as the offensive players find gaps in the gaps, it will definitely cause the defensive side to be passive. They have to intercept, help defend, and fill in. These actions will disrupt their defensive rhythm and increase the friction between them and their teammates. The tight defensive distance has been maintained since then, and once the distance is opened, it will be an opportunity for the German team.

In the second half, the attack started from the left. Lahm, you have to be more decisive. As soon as you get the ball, rush forward and cut inside. You make your own decisions based on the situation on the court, but I don't want to see a hasty and hasty handling. Drop every attack!

Ram nodded heavily to show that he understood.

Thomas, you have to keep responding to Ozil. Once he attracts the pressure of the defensive players and pulls out the gap, you can hit the gap resolutely and decisively. Ram will form support behind you. Be smart, kid! Yang Cheng pointed heavily at Thomas Muller and said, this kid is an important part of his offensive tactics.

The Ghana team's counterattack was very sharp. In the second half, our midfielders and frontcourt players should pay attention. After losing the ball, everyone should counterattack on the spot. I want everyone to immediately engage in counterattack on the spot, even if it is Don’t be careless in the last minute of the game, and don’t slack off before the whistle blows!”

Everyone looked at Yang Cheng seriously, knowing that Yang Cheng's words carried great weight.

This is a life and death battle. If we lose this game, we will probably become a big shame in the history of German football. We were eliminated in the World Cup group stage for the first time in record time, so this game We have to win, understand? Yang Cheng asked sternly.

Understood! the players responded in unison. (To be continued...)
