Chapter 48: Tactical Change Zou Ping Gong Ji

"The first half of the game was unexpected. The German team did not play a controlled game as we expected. On the contrary, their game rhythm and content were very bad, and the final shot in front of the goal was also very cumbersome!"

"They always seemed to be thinking about how to pass the ball, not how to get the ball into the opponent's goal!"

"The second half of the game is about to start. What kind of adjustments can the German team make during the halftime break? The remaining 45 minutes are also the last chance for the German team to redeem themselves!"

Accompanied by the commentator's words, the players of both sides also re-entered the field and were about to start the second half of the game.

From the camera, we can see that the expressions of the German players are not as relaxed as they were at the beginning.

The unexpected game situation and the lagging score seemed to be a dark cloud hanging over their heads.

At this time, the overall atmosphere and emotions of the German team became complicated.

Many people have even begun to consider the problem of losing.

Before the start of the World Cup, this was something no one had expected.

As the defending champion, the German team would suffer a heavy blow in the group stage and face the danger of elimination in the group stage.

This is even more true for the German team itself.

If the 2014 World Cup was the glorious moment of the German team, then four years later, they may face their darkest moment.

"Hey! Guys! Show your fighting spirit! We can do it!"

Kimmich kept yelling.

Although he is not the captain, as the most energetic and spiritual person in the team, he is still full of passion even in a bad environment.

But the environment at this time is a little different.

Except Kimmich, the expressions of the others are extremely ugly, and the atmosphere is extremely stiff under the influence of emotions.

Except Kimmich, the others are not communicating.

Even Muller, a natural optimist, is frowning at this time.

The poor performance in the first half made them full of boredom with the game itself.

However, the game has to continue, and they need to make adjustments in the second half.

"There is no personnel change on the German team, and the German coach Loew still believes that this group of young people can create miracles!"

"It is also possible that even Loew doesn't know how to clean up this mess!"

Even the famous coach is also troubled by this situation.

The German team is facing more than just a problem of backwardness.

Before the World Cup, the whole world was exaggerating the strength and threat of the German team.

And a bad start cast a shadow on them.

Even if the German players seemed to be indifferent to the shame in front of the whole world, they would feel bad inside.

Moreover, they have the burden of the championship, the pressure of fans' expectations, media opinions, etc.

These factors are affecting the German players.

And the unachievable shots have caused some controversy in the team for Werner, the center forward.

Similarly, the performances of Muller, Kroos, Reus, and other highly anticipated players are not equal to the expectations, which is also exacerbating the contradictions within the German team.

It can be said that the pressure on the German team at this time is no longer imposed by the outside world, but comes from a kind of disagreement in their hearts.

"Chinese team!

!——"

"Come on!

!

!——"

A sudden roar awakened the German players.

They looked at the other half of the field, and the Chinese players formed a circle and shouted loudly.

The unity, passion and fighting spirit based on the game came to their faces.

Muller glanced at the others, but did not intend to do the same thing.

The same is true for other German players.

Chen Xiang came to the center circle with the ball.

After the halftime break, his physical strength recovered a little.

The lead in the first half made them less passive in the second half.

But if they want to win the game, they still have to fight hard.

Chen Xiang patted his cheek gently.

This is his first World Cup.

As a young player of this generation, Chen Xiang is lucky.

He is not like Wang Yi, who can only go it alone.

He has Chen Man beside him and Le Kai behind him.

These are teammates who can be trusted and even relied on.

It is precisely because of such strong teammates that the Chinese team has been able to get to where it is now.

As a center forward, Chen Xiang is also not very satisfied with his performance.

As a spearhead, he has not scored a goal so far.

He needs a better performance!

And based on the World Cup stage, for Chen Xiang, who has a dream of studying abroad, he needs to impress those scouts with his performance.

In fact, the Chinese team's game has also been watched by European clubs.

As the biggest dark horse in this World Cup, they can't help but pay attention to the performance of the Chinese team.

In addition to Le Kai, Chen Man and Liu Kairui, three already famous players.

The most popular player in the Chinese team is the left back Zhang Chenxi.

So far, Zhang Chenxi's performance in the game is the best among the young players.

He has shown enough ability in both defense and side attack.

For this reason, he has also received a lot of attention.

Maybe after the World Cup, he will receive trials and even transfer invitations from European teams.

Beep!

With a short whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

After the Chinese team kicked off, the German players rushed into the Chinese team's half like a wolf pack to press.

The Chinese players, who knew that they were not good at controlling the ball in the backcourt, passed the ball back continuously, and Liu Kairui kicked the ball forward directly.

The ball was quickly controlled by the German team.

"Hold on!"

Lekai lowered his center of gravity slightly, took a defensive posture, and reminded his teammates at the same time.

The Chinese players also immediately switched to a defensive posture after losing the ball.

With the experience of the first half, they also knew how to prevent the German team's attack.

But the German team changed a routine this time.

After the ball was passed to Muller on the wing, Muller took two steps forward along the sideline and then kicked the ball directly to the middle.

The ball flew high and flew towards the Chinese team's penalty area.

Werner was clinging to Liu Kairui, and the two were unable to move in the confrontation.

"Be careful at the back point!"

Liu Kairui turned his head to remind while confronting.

Gao Leiliang immediately retreated and stuck to Brandt who was heading forward.

"Don't even think about getting over there!"

Gao Leiliang was taller than Brandt, so while preventing the opponent from jumping, he judged the landing point of the ball. When his head touched the ball, his neck twisted outward.

The ball was pushed out of the penalty area.

However, since it was not exerted by the waist and abdomen, it did not fly far, and the direction could not be controlled.

The ball happened to fall in front of Kroos.

Kroos saw such a good opportunity and immediately chased the ball forward.

At the same time, he planned to shoot directly from a distance.

But just as he was about to catch up with the ball, a huge force suddenly hit his shoulder, and the next second, the whole person was knocked away.

Lekai rushed out from the side, pushed Kroos away, turned around and kicked the ball out.

"Be careful of their cross!"

Lekai was also a little impatient.

The German team's tactics have changed!

They no longer started to pass the ball slowly, but sent it more directly into the Chinese team's penalty area.

The first attack brought enough pressure to the Chinese team.

Lekai's clearance was controlled by the German players again and passed to Royce.

Royce rushed along the side again.

After a two-on-one match with Brandt, a lob was thrown to the back of the Chinese defender.

Werner saw the opportunity and immediately moved forward.

But someone was one step faster than him. Goalkeeper Tong Lei quickly judged the landing point, took the initiative, jumped lightly, and took the ball off before Werner.

"Beautiful! Tong Lei!"

Liu Kairui praised.

This time it was definitely Tong Lei's agile attack that made a contribution. If there was any hesitation, Werner might have caught up with the ball.

But at the same time, the German team's attack also put great pressure on the Chinese players.

"The German team's playing style has changed!"

After watching these two attacks, He Wei's tone became worried.

"Different from the passing and controlling in the first half, the German team's attack became more direct and sharper!"

"They no longer focus on passing the ball, but try to get the ball into the penalty area, and then use their cooperation and the players' abilities to deal with the shooting problem."

"In two consecutive attacks, although the German team failed to get a chance to shoot, it also shows that once they seize the opportunity, China's leading situation will be shaken!"

"So, we must never relax, not even a little bit of slackness!"
