One Thousand and Two Priceless Treasures

I believe that when everyone gets the starting lineup for the match between Germany and Uruguay, they will be surprised and puzzled by Yang Cheng's choice. They will even wonder if Yang Cheng decided to give up this game?

Veteran Klose was hidden by Yang Cheng and was not even included in the squad. Yang Cheng had already given a clear statement at the pre-match press conference. He felt that Klose needed some time to adjust his body. situation.

Another one, Sven Bender, who was diagnosed with physical illness after playing in the Brazil team, did not appear in the squad this time. Although he had restarted recovery training after two days of rest, Yang Cheng also left him in the stands this time instead of including him in the game roster.

Another player who did not get the starting qualification was midfielder Ozil. His position was replaced by Gotze. However, some reporters believed that the reason why Yang Cheng made this arrangement was actually to prepare for the final, but could he just play against him? Is Uruguay so confident?

Yang Cheng’s starting lineup for this game is Neuer as the goalkeeper, Lahm, Badstuber, Hummels and Jerome Boateng in the defense, and the three midfielders are Bastian Schweinsteiger, Toni Kroos and Lars Bender, and the front trident is Thomas Muller, Gotze and Reus.

Klose failed to start, but Yang Cheng still did not choose Gomez. This also shows to some extent that he is not satisfied with the current forward configuration of the German team. This is no longer news. As early as After 2012, many people have speculated that Yang Cheng will make adjustments to the forward line, but he has never made any move.

The lineup arranged by Yang Cheng seems to be full of offensive power, but without Klose, Ozil, and Sven Bender, the German team can continue to maintain that strong momentum. ?

Such worries began to arise when everyone saw the big list. It continued until the start of the game and never let up. It was not until the 27th minute of the game that the German team took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field.

This is an attack from the left. Lahm dribbled the ball from the left and forced a breakthrough, tearing apart Uruguay's defense. After entering the Uruguay half, he passed the ball across the center. After two consecutive passes, Lars Bender stepped in. After getting the ball, he suddenly took a shot.

This shot was a full 30 meters away from Uruguay's goal.

But Lars Bender's long-range shot was so powerful that it scared the Uruguayan goalkeeper to make a quick save. Although he finally saved the ball, he failed to catch it. Thomas Muller came in behind. Successfully countering offside, he steadily shot the ball that fell in front of him and into the net, 1:0!

After the first goal. Uruguay took the lead in launching a counterattack.

There is an interesting thing about the German team's midfield configuration in this game, that is, the three midfield players have Toni Kroos in the middle, but they are positioned relatively deep. Bastian Schweinsteiger and Lars Bender are positioned relatively forward. The three players stand and run in a triangle, as if they are embedded in the hinterland of Uruguay's midfield.

Lahm and Jérôme Boateng were also positioned relatively high up, forming a strong pressure on the Uruguayan midfielder and blocking the Uruguayan midfielder's advancement, allowing their midfielder and The frontcourt became disjointed.

Tabarez took the route of the forward retreating to the midfield, but after Cavani retreated, the German team's defense pinched Suarez's point. Forlan is already very old, and his body and condition are no longer what they were back then. Courage. This made it difficult for the Uruguay team to create an effective threat in front of the German team's defense.

After all, he is a world-class coach in South America. Tabares quickly realized this problem. He began to retreat and keep the distance between the three lines to avoid being separated by the German team. This does play a role to some extent.

But while containing the German team's offense, their own offense was also neutralized by the German team, and they were never able to create a threatening offensive opportunity. When the German team took the lead in scoring, Uruguay began to shrink its defense, and the scene became This creates an overwhelming situation where one side attacks and the other defends.

If it hadn't been for the goal just now, Yang Cheng might still have a headache now, but now, he sits firmly on the Diaoyutai without even making adjustments during the halftime break, allowing the Uruguay team to continue to defend.

Seeing that the game time passed minute by minute, Yang Cheng still did not move. Uruguay was the first to become unable to sit still and began to press out again. It began to stretch the formation and take the initiative to attack.

In the 66th minute, after Thomas Muller and Lahm formed a cooperation on the left, the latter dribbled the ball horizontally to the edge of the penalty area and called Gotze who ran into the gap. The German teenager was very determined and started directly. , but the ball bounced off the opponent's defender. Toni Kroos stepped in and got the ball. He made a precise through ball and passed it into the penalty area through the gap in the Uruguayan defense. Royce cut in and cut into the penalty area. After getting the ball, he scored alone, 2:0!

Leading by two goals, the German team seems to have a chance to win!

At this time, Uruguay could no longer be conservative. Tabarez could only make a last-ditch effort, while the German team pursued the victory and launched a round of offensive against the Uruguay team after scoring the goal.

Facts have proved that when one's own progress is blocked and the forward's tactics of retreating to the midfield result in the forward being isolated and helpless, it is a very wise choice to retreat to the defense and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. If Tabarez can do it from the beginning, If they stuck to this set of tactics, they might still have a chance, but as the German team scored one goal after another, they were forced to come out and play.

But the problem is that once Uruguay presses out to play, the opponent will definitely catch the break in the ball path. The German team arranged Bastian Schweinsteiger and Lars Bender to specifically target this area in this game. The purpose of interception is very clear.

Cavani kept dropping back to participate in defense, and advanced forward to participate in the advancement of the ball. He could be said to be both father and mother. In the end, there was nothing he could do. Suarez had to follow him back, and Forlan was alone in front. No support, no threat.

In the 72nd minute, Hummels stole the ball from Forlan and handed it to Badstuber. The latter found Royce with a diagonal pass. After successfully countering offside, the German forward ran with the ball. Finally, he passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area, and Thomas Muller scored with a header, once again breaking the Uruguay goal, 3:0!

At this point in the game. Everyone has clearly realized that Uruguay's seven inches were strangled by the German team. The reason why Yang Cheng dared to arrange for Miroslav Klose, Ozil and Sven Bender to rest in such a game is of great importance. The reason is that he knows very clearly how to restrain Uruguay's tactics... Everyone says that Yang Cheng is a master of offensive football. His offensive training methods are superb. Any team in his hands can play an amazing offense. Anyone with a little bit of tactical literacy knows that the so-called offense is actually training and combination. The team's ball advances. "

"In this aspect, Yang Cheng is definitely a master-level figure, so from this game, we can all clearly see that despite Yang Cheng's extensive rotation, he still locked Uruguay. The Achilles’ heel of the ball. It curbed Uruguay’s progress and made Uruguay’s offense lose its threat.”

"Perhaps, there is no one in the world who knows how to crack this tactic better than Yang Cheng!"

After watching the German team score the third goal, the on-site commentator sighed inwardly. At least in this game, Uruguay's seemingly luxurious striker failed to bring much threat to the German team's defense. , a very important reason is that their ball path is simply difficult to pass to the feet of the forward.

Imagine a forward who doesn't get the pass easily. How could it be possible to create a threat?

At this time, Tabarez, no matter how reluctant he was, had to adjust the team's offensive tactics. He replaced Forlan, who almost disappeared throughout the game, and replaced him with the 23-year-old forward Alejandro Argentine from Palermo in Serie A. Bel Hernandez.

"Abel Hernandez, a speedy terminator. He performed well in Palermo, but he has no convincing results yet. He is a highly regarded striker of the new generation in Uruguayan football. He is now 23 years old. , the replacement is Uruguay’s meritorious star Diego Forlan!”

"Flan's performance in this game was indeed unsatisfactory. His range of movement was not large, he did not receive many passes, he failed to pose a threat, and there was not even a very impressive picture. The only thing that came into our field of vision was that he was Hummels counterattacked after stealing the ball, which directly caused the team to concede the ball, which has to be said to be a great tragedy."

"Tabarez is very optimistic about Hernandez, and he has been training and nurturing this young player. Now we will see if this young player can pose a threat to the German team's defense after he comes on the field."

When Tabarez was making substitutions, Yang Cheng was also making substitutions.

Khedira replaced Bastian Schweinsteiger, Schmelzer replaced Lahm, and Schürrer replaced Thomas Muller. All were counter-substitutions. It can also be seen that Yang Cheng is I want to give this group of main players more rest time. After all, the current situation can be said to be a sure win for the German team.

"Three goals behind, Uruguay has completely lost the morale and fighting spirit to fight back. Tabarez has trained Uruguay extremely well, but the problems of this team are also obvious. Forlan's state is no longer what it was before. In the absence of Yong, Uruguay’s entire offensive system was greatly affected!”

"Today's football tactics, offense and defense are complementary to each other. If the offense is affected, it means that the defense is also affected. They are all relative to each other. This also becomes the key to the outcome of the game between Uruguay and Germany. The essential!"

While the on-site commentator was analyzing and lamenting, Tabarez made the last two substitutions. These two substitutions also completely announced that he had given up on this game, because there were only 6 minutes left on the clock. Under the circumstances, he could no longer see any hope of equalizing the score, so he had to choose to give up... The truth is that the winners are different, but the losers are the same.

When Yang Cheng defeated Uruguay, he actually saw the future of the German team!

They also rely on forwards, and they also let forwards play a very key role. The German team and Uruguay can be said to be surprisingly similar to a certain extent. The difference is that Yang Cheng's German team is luckier, and his Clooney Ze's condition has been maintained relatively well, and he has always exerted strong combat effectiveness and tactical effects.

But if one day, Klose's condition drops to the point where Forlan is today, will Uruguay in this game be equivalent to Germany in the next game?

Yang Cheng has never believed anything. Neither success nor failure is accidental, so even though he won the game, his brows did not look relaxed at all, but instead were tightly knitted together. It was like he was the one losing.

"I wonder if we will one day become Uruguay?" Yang Cheng asked Benitez with a wry smile.

The interruption on the forward line has made Yang Cheng deeply feel that the future of the German team is encountering huge unknowns. Maybe Klose can still play until the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Maybe Yang Cheng will leave the German national team after the World Cup. Maybe by Sometimes a super genius will emerge, and maybe...

But the question is, what if not?

A very clear idea when handling the ball. A forward who can cooperate with different teammates, a player who can retreat, pull wide, serve as a tactical fulcrum, and at the same time can insert into the penalty area to grab points, a forward who has the best awareness of running without the ball, such a player can play any role in any game. There are treasures in a team, all priceless treasures!

Yang Cheng had no doubt. Once the German team loses Klose, it may not decline as fast as Uruguay did. But he can say with certainty that without Klose, the German team's chances of winning the World Cup will be reduced by more than half.

Sometimes, this probability can be calculated!

"With the current situation of German football, it is difficult for a suitable striker to emerge, and it is impossible to find a replacement for Klose in a short period of time, so we can only pray to God!" Benitez was also confused about this. Nothing can be done.

If he were coaching a club, then Yang Cheng could squander the transfer fee and get one from the transfer market, but the problem is. Now he is coaching the national team. Not to mention that the German team is currently short of talent. Even if there are enough talents, there may not be anyone suitable for the current German team's tactics.

Unless, Yang Cheng carves and cultivates one himself!

"Take your time!" Benitez patted Yang Cheng on the shoulder and consoled him.

You can say that. Klose has become a key factor in whether the German team can win the World Cup. If the forward falls, Yang Cheng's possibility of winning the World Cup will also be lost, or even completely despairing... The referee blows the whistle At the whistle of the end of the game, the German team finally defeated Uruguay 3:0 in this semi-final!

This victory also allowed the German team's Confederations Cup journey to be presented to the world with almost perfect data.

Beat Japan 5:0, beat Mexico 4:0, beat Brazil 2:0, and now beat Uruguay 3:0. In addition to winning four consecutive games in the Confederations Cup, the German team also got a clean sheet. ’s defensive record, scoring 14 goals, averaging more than 3 goals per game. Such defensive and offensive data are enough to amaze fans all over the world.

After the game, everyone in Germany was celebrating that the team had reached the final. In this way, all they had to do was wait for the opponent in the final to be announced to see whether it was the new enemy Brazil or the old enemy Spain. No matter who the opponent is, the German team has only one goal, and that is the championship!

While all the players were celebrating, Yang Cheng walked to the visiting team's coaching bench and Uruguay coach Tabarez with a humble face, but he did not have the arrogance he had when facing Scolari. , replaced by a respect and affirmation written on his face.

"I'm very sorry, Oscar, you did a great job, really!" Yang Cheng stretched out his hand with a sincere look.

"No, no, no, Mr. Yang Cheng, your team is better and deserves to win this game!" Tabarez said it bluntly. Losing is not unacceptable to him. He has always been elegant and talkative. He doesn't have any qualms like other head coaches. If he loses, he loses. There is nothing to deny or cover up. His skills are not as good as others. That's normal!

"Frankly speaking, Uruguay is very promising today. If the midfield problem can be solved, I believe it will become even stronger!" Yang Cheng directly pointed out the opponent's weakness. He believed that even if he didn't say it, Uruguay would be stronger. Barres himself knows it very well.

Tabarez did not deny it and nodded, "It still takes time. I said in 2007 that in 10 years, I will bring out a better Uruguay team. It has only been 6 years now, it is still early!" "After saying that, he chuckled.

The current Uruguay team is indeed getting younger. Sebastian Coates, who was born in 1990, currently plays for Liverpool, but has already established a foothold in the national team and performed very well, while El Nandez is also the focus of training for the national team. This group of players should be regarded as Tabares' future disciples.

"I believe you will be able to succeed!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

If Uruguay continues to entrust Tabarez with trust and support, he firmly believes that the renaissance of Uruguayan football will be just around the corner, and they may even threaten the Spanish and German teams in the next few years.

Tabares is good at cultivating young players, so he can be regarded as the type of head coach that Yang Cheng admires very much. Maybe on the court, they fight each other to the death and must decide the winner, but this does not hinder them at all. A certain amount of friendship and camaraderie has been established away from the court.

This is what Yang Cheng has always said. The birth of football has never been to make people antagonize or build hatred, but to make people find happiness in it. (To be continued)RQ
