Chapter 312 Leading!
England's offensive speed is not fast. They don't have too gorgeous cooperation, and they don't have too dazzling performances, but they are very direct and practical. This time the England team made a total of six passes from the backcourt to the front, and it took nearly 20 seconds. , the speed of the ball is not fast, but the German team did not touch the ball halfway.
The combination left the Germans scratching their heads and cheering England fans, who like to see the team play a smooth offensive.
Just like Loew's judgment, England's offensive is not mainly about passing, but about running and controlling speed. Every player is constantly looking for a position to run. In fact, there are still some players who are not very good. Adaptation, they seldom play in the game, they always look for positions, but the effect has already been played. Several key players with outstanding skills, such as Morris, Ashley Young, Gerrard, etc., each The speed of a pass is controlled, and they firmly remembered what Wansheng emphasized, "Be sure to control the rhythm at the point we are most comfortable with!"
The German team is a bit of a headache.
The movement of England players makes it difficult for them to defend. Whether it is man-marking or position-marking, as long as the opponent has the ball, they feel very passive.
If the opponent just controls the speed and finds a position to pass, of course there will not be too much trouble, but the key is that the opponent's movement is interspersed, which seems to be very aimed at the German team.
For example, the right midfielder of the German team, young teenager Thomas Muller, likes to move forward very much, and his retreat position is also a bit forward. The opponent's left midfielder Ashley Young keeps looking for the space behind him to run, so that So far, they have had difficulty defending Ashley Young.
Muller is better. After all, he is a frontcourt player. The defense of the center back Hummels is very dangerous. The opposing center Rooney and Morris are constantly looking for opportunities to move forward. They have to focus their energy on the front of the penalty area. Blockades and temporary adjustments to the defensive focus also affected the overall formation and their offense.
Many players are lamenting, "The opponent's offense is too targeted."
From this, we can see how well the England team prepared before the game. They were completely preparing for the German team, and they didn’t know how much energy it would take. How could they have so much time?
In fact, all these jobs are being done by Wansheng.
With the assistance of the football training master system, coupled with the analysis of the German team's game video, it is easy to know the ability and habits of each player in the German team, especially Ozil is a player of Atlético de Madrid, Wansheng knows Ozil every time. An ability attribute evaluation, knowing him deeper than himself, it is naturally easy to make targeted arrangements.
Wansheng's advice to each player before the game was his conclusion after careful consideration.
Those are the essence of 'against the German team'.
Now in the real game, the work is working, the German team is starting to have a headache, and the English players are starting to play.
None of them expected that the game would become so smooth.
The more they are integrated into the game, the more they can feel the advantages of the team's running and tactics. It can be said that the team is completely targeting the opponent tactically, so they have more confidence in the game.
Soon England played another wave of offensive.
The football is at Morris's feet.
In this game, Morris should be positioned as the 'core of the frontcourt', because with Gerrard and Scott Parker pulling, he does not need to retreat too often to defend.
With the support of the two, Morris is freed and can play at will.
This time, after Morris and Ashley Young completed the pass, they took the ball over the center line, and then he passed it to Milner. The transfer from left to right made it difficult for the German team to defend. When Milner took the ball , and no one came to press.
After Milner got the ball, he did not pass it immediately, but took two steps forward. He couldn't help thinking of the coach's pre-match advice, "Your journey is very important, and it is Schweinsch who is opposite you. Tiger, he's a very good player, the opponent's left back and Lahm..." Milner originally thought that the coach was going to tell him to be more cautious, but he didn't expect to hear such words, "But the German team has now Lost four goals, three of which were opportunities on the left, maybe because Schweinsteiger had a leg injury, maybe because Lahm was getting old, but anyway, you have to Look out for opportunities..."
Judging from the conceded data of the German team, there is undoubtedly some problems with their left defense, and Milner also carefully observed when he dribbled the ball.
Schweinsteiger ran over.
This is a very good player, the core of the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, it can also be said to be the 'substitute core' of the German team, without Ozil, Schweinsteiger will be the core without a doubt player.
As a core player, you need a very comprehensive ability.
That was the case with Schweinsteiger, Milner was very careful and before the two got close, he passed the ball back into the middle and followed him forward.
Schweinsteiger failed to react immediately, and when he realized that he was going to chase back, Milner had already received the pass again.
"Perfect two-for-one!"
The England commentator praised it.
Schweinsteiger was left behind by Milner. He felt a little strange. Generally, when teams meet the German team, most of them are looking for opportunities on the right side. Why does Milner choose to break through from himself? Isn't he afraid of being cut off?
Schweinsteiger never imagined that he would be considered a chance by his opponents along the way.
He didn't care about the team's conceded data, and always thought that his defense was doing very well. Coupled with the veteran Lahm behind him, the defense on the left side was impeccable. Which team would focus on looking for opportunities from the left side?
......
Seeing the two-to-one cooperation between Milner and Morris, Wan Sheng shook off Schweinsteiger and nodded with satisfaction.
As estimated before the game, Schweinsteiger's performance was inconsistent.
This may be caused by the fact that his leg did not heal, but in any case, it is also an opportunity for the England team. As for "despicable" or "despicable", Wansheng does not consider this, professional football games are for victory.
Loew clearly knew that Schweinsteiger had a leg injury, and let him start. It must be that the injured Schweinsteiger could also play better, so it would not be a big deal for the England team to find a breakthrough in him.
In this attack, the German team's defense in front of the penalty area played a role. Milner gave a pass from the middle and stopped the opponent's central defender Bad Stuber, but Milner saw his opportunity along the way.
Schweinsteiger's defense is not stable, and Lahm is a little old, and his body and explosiveness are not enough.
This is England's chance.
In the next game, the England team began to look for opportunities on the left. The players in the middle kept passing the ball to the left, and Milner became very active. The defense of the German team was a bit chaotic, and the central defender Bad Stuber had to be careful. Pay attention to the left, but he is too far back to help the front.
This time, Scott Parker suddenly plugged in, which made the German team's defense even more panic.
Parker ran forward quickly, Milner returned the ball, Parker ran to the ball, and then passed the ball to the middle, making Schweinsteiger's response useless, and then Morris stepped forward. Drop the ball into the penalty area.
The continuous passing of the England team from the outside of the penalty area distracted the German team's defensive attention. The central defender Bad Stuber had already run out. At this time, they found that there was only one defender in the penalty area, and the opponent had two in the penalty area. Players - Rooney and Ashley Young.
"Good chance! Look at this ball!"
"Danger!"
Two sentences with opposite meanings are illustrating a problem - the goal of the German team is in danger.
Ashley Young has just run to the penalty area, the football is placed in front of him, while the opponent Hummels is defending Rooney, and another full-back Boateng is behind Ashley Young. Shili - Young has a good chance.
This high pass is not very subtle, but the timing is just right. It is finding a moment when the German team's defense in the penalty area is weak. Hummels has no time to defend Ashley Young. No one can stop him except the goalkeeper.
All the German players watched as Ashley Young got the ball, and he even had time to make adjustments. Immediately, he raised his right foot high and swung it on the falling football.
"Bang!"
A powerful volley!
The football was blasted out by him like a cannonball. The German goalkeeper Neuer struggled to save. He stretched his arms as far as possible to cover a larger area. Unfortunately, the ball was too fast. It flew over ahead of time and plunged headlong into the net.
————
At the moment of scoring, Ashley Young was stunned.
Watching the football rush into the net, watching the referee stretch out his arm to point to the middle circle, and then hearing the cheers from Panpan, he finally realized that he had scored a goal.
This is his first goal in the European Cup!
When he reacted, Ashley Young immediately jumped up excitedly, and Milner and Rooney, who rushed over, hugged him tightly.
"Awesome! Jan!"
"Great! That shot just now! We're ahead!"
"How does it feel to score a goal!"
At the same time, the entire stadium burst into frantic cheers, and every England fan was struggling to roar.
"Goooooooooooooooal!!!"
"The ball is in!"
"In the 36th minute, England's Ashley Young broke the deadlock and helped the team lead Germany 1-0!"
"This is a wonderful goal. The continuous cooperation and delivery of the England team allowed Ashley Young to find an opportunity. He scored the goal without any suspense. …”
"Ashley Young! Ashley Young!"
"He has always been the main midfielder of the England team, but he has scored very few goals. In other words, the entire England team has not scored many goals in the past. In terms of scoring, he relies more on strikers Rooney and Gerrard. In the European Cup, we can see that in the past four games of the England team, the scoring performance has been very strong, including substitute strikers Burton Reiter, Walcott and Maurice, Rooney, Gerrard and other absolute main players They have scored goals, and now Ashley Young has scored goals, England has a lot of lines and their attacking performance is perfect."
"Maybe this is what Wansheng brought to the England team. England has changed a lot. The most important thing is that all changes are in the right direction..."
"The game was a lot better for England after a one-goal lead..."
