Chapter 314 Two Goals
In the second half of the first half, the adjustment made by the German team was obvious. Low let Schweinsteiger play the core, freed Ozil, let him play freely in the frontcourt, and used his outstanding personal skills to attack. England's defense.
Ozil brought a lot of trouble to England's defense, and even for a time the England team could only defend but not attack.
If the game goes on like this, England will be very disadvantaged.
Wansheng also thought of a good coping strategy, that is 'star to star', 'core to core', Germany has Ozil, England also has Morris, Germany can let Schweinsteiger play the core, England can also allow Gerrard to stir up the brunt.
At halftime, when Wan Sheng explained how to play in the second half, he emphasized these two points. The positions of other players remained unchanged, the most important ones being Morris and Gerrard.
Wan Sheng is very confident in Morris, but he needs to focus on Gerrard, "You must pay attention to grasp the rhythm, don't let the speed be too fast, don't attack too far ahead, and don't give the opponent too many opportunities. "
"When you have time, give the ball to Lee and he will know what to do."
"Pay attention to the drop-back defense, I don't think it needs to be emphasized."
"To command the team well, we must pay attention to the overall formation at all times and suppress the formation. We need to attack, but not to sacrifice defense."
"..."
Wansheng is still worried about Gerrard as the core, and he knows that this is a difficult challenge for Gerrard.
In the Liverpool club, Gerrard is the core, and in the England team a few years ago, Gerald was also the core, but Liverpool is completely different from England at that time, and the team's tactics need a core that can grasp the overall situation.
In terms of individual technology, Gerrard is still very good, but the organization and the overall situation are worse.
Wan Sheng hopes that Gerrard can do well.
This is also the frustration of Wansheng coaching the England team. The only top player the team can come up with is Morris. Gerrard is a lot worse, not to mention other players, unlike the German team. , Schweinsteiger and Ozil are excellent, and Thomas Muller and Gomez in front are also reassuring. Among them, the midfielders are also very skilled. The important thing is that the Germans are 'old-fashioned'. The style of the game, at least, will not make the overall tactics go wrong.
England need to worry about this, especially after liberating Morris.
Wansheng is worried that the overall performance of the team will be affected.
But at this point, there is no other way. They can only hope that the team will perform well. Fortunately, the team still has a goal advantage. It is not necessary to score goals quickly. The most important thing is to keep the advantage.
————
Soon it was time for the second half.
German coach Loew stood on the sidelines and watched the game carefully. Wansheng also stood on the sidelines. Both of them were very concerned about the game. It was obvious that the German team's tactics had not changed. , they are still playing '10+1', that is, ten other German players plus an Ozil.
This style of play is undoubtedly very rare in the German team, and it can also be seen that Loew attaches great importance to Ozil.
Wan Sheng scratched his head.
Who made his own Ozil so good?
Fortunately, there is Morris in the England team. Wan Sheng is more clear. Morris is better than Ozil. Putting the 'national event honor halo' on Morris's physical fitness, increasing his physical fitness by 10% means that Morris can hold on for 10 more minutes, which somewhat makes up for the physical fitness gap between the two.
On the field, England and Germany were in a close match.
At the end of the first half, the German team played a considerable field advantage. Some football analysis commentators believed that the German team would continue to fight for the situation in the second half, in order to create more opportunities to tie the score. , especially Ozil, is widely concerned, everyone believes that Ozil will be a key figure in the game.
But in the second half, Morris began to show his power.
Whether in Manchester City or Atletico Madrid, Wansheng will rarely liberate Morris, because his effect on the entire team is greater than the individual impact on the defense line, but now facing the targeted adjustment of the German team, he must also use Morris' ability to contain the German team's defensive energy in order to allow the team to save the situation.
When Morris was freed, he did quite well.
Compared with Ozil, Maurice's skills are better, so the German team's defense encountered problems. They always saw Maurice in possession of the ball, but couldn't grab the ball, especially when the opponent dribbled the ball. It's moving towards a dangerous position, and they have to devote more energy to defending Morris, and the price to pay for this is sacrificing offense.
This is Wansheng's coping strategy.
The liberation of Morris did not improve England's overall offensive ability, but it was able to contain more energy of the German team, so that they could not focus on offense, and thus restored the disadvantage on the scene.
Overall, the two sides are still evenly divided.
But at the beginning of the game, the two sides had each other's offense and defense, the German team was '10+1', and the England team was also '10+1', just as the English commentator said, "Now the leading stars of both teams, Individual performance becomes extremely important.”
Maurice is indeed better than Ozil, especially Maurice's head coach is Wansheng. He will enjoy the bonus effect of many game skills, and his performance will be even more outstanding, but Ozil's offensive desire is stronger. , he is almost not in the defense of the German team, he is focused on looking for opportunities in the frontcourt, and also brings a lot of pressure to the England team.
By this time, both sides began to look forward to scoring goals.
Germany hopes to be able to rely on goals to tie the game, England want to extend the lead.
Wansheng is also looking forward to it.
But the game often doesn't go as expected. The German team was the first to score the goal. In the 61st minute, Ozil shook Terry and handed the ball to Thomas Muller, who was in the front. The young German genius used his toes. Poke the ball into the goal.
“Goooal!!!”
The moment the football flew into the goal, the German fans exploded, including half-time, they waited for nearly an hour and a half, and finally they waited for the German team's goal, they were all cheering desperately, shouting Mueller's name.
"What a genius!"
Wan Sheng also sighed with emotion. Germany has few outstanding teenage talents. Their old-fashioned youth training system can easily stifle the creativity of geniuses, but Thomas Muller is a special one. Now Muller is already the chief of Bayern Munich. As a striker, he is very competitive with Gomez. In the German national team, he has not yet become a No. 1 striker, but he is also a scorer second only to Gomez.
This goal is very important for the German team.
After Muller finished scoring, he hugged his teammates excitedly. All the German players were very excited. They all breathed a long sigh of relief because the team finally tied the score.
They have experienced the difficulty of the game.
Before the game, they never thought it would be so difficult to play. In the eyes of many players, the England team would not be Germany's opponent, but in the game it was different. This England team has changed a lot, both offensively and defensively. Both brought them considerable trouble, and also scored the first goal.
Before Muller's goal, some pessimistic players were even thinking that there was no hope for the game.
The German team has a 'habit' of losing in the finals.
Every time the German team is a "favorite to win the championship", they have performed very well in every group stage and quarterfinals. They often encounter big wins over their opponents, but once they reach the semi-finals or finals, they will lose the game.
Now that they are finally tied, they can start looking forward to the lead.
The German team's goal made the England team very depressed. Many players looked to the sidelines, but the coach was still standing there with a confident face, as if he didn't care about the German team's goal at all. This somewhat rekindled the players. Fighting spirit.
After the restart of the game, the competition between the two teams became more and more intense.
The German team has always wanted to overtake the score, but neither they nor the England team thought that the goal would come so quickly.
65 minutes!
Just 4 minutes after Muller completed the goal, the two teams attacked each other. This time the England team made a frontal advance. Terry passed the ball to the frontcourt with a big foot. Gerrard took the ball and glanced at it. directly to Morris.
Morris' ball swept across the door.
Schweinsteiger came to defend, Morris seemed to be passing the ball, but he suddenly rushed forward, leaving Schweinsteiger behind.
German central defender Hummels wanted to come over to help defend, but what he didn't expect was that Morris waved his right foot before he ran to the position.
A 30-meter long-range lob!
For this shot, the German goalkeeper Neuer was completely unprepared. Hummels blocked his line of sight. He also carefully paid attention to where Morris would pass the ball. As a result, the football appeared in the sky the next moment.
"Danger!"
The German team commentator shouted, as if to remind Neuer, but it was too late for Neuer to react.
The football falls directly into the top right corner of the goal!
“Goooooooooooooal!!!!”
"Goal scored!"
"Morris! Morris! Morris!" The England commentator was very excited. He was worried about the German team tying the score just now, but he did not expect England to regain the lead so quickly, especially this shot was very unexpected Unexpectedly, Morris did not cooperate with any teammates, and completely opened Schweinsteiger by himself and hit the door directly.
"Nice job! Maurice, this is Maurice! You never wonder what he's going to do next!"
"The German team couldn't do anything against Morris, they all watched the football fly into the goal, even the goalkeeper Neuer. The drop was very precise, almost as preset, Morris's footwork was too Outstanding!"
"2-1, England regain the lead!"
