Chapter 1507

On the evening of June 27, Kazan, Russia.

In the final round of the World Cup group stage, China played against Germany.

The final of the last World Cup was staged at the finale of the group stage. This game is related to the qualifications of the two teams to qualify for the group stage, and it has attracted the attention of media and fans all over the world.

When Yang Yang stood on the center line of the court, waiting for the German team to kick off first, and seeing the German team's players' positions, he already knew that the Chinese team had a chance in this game, and a very good chance!

Goalkeeper Neuer, the defense is Hector, Hummels, Sule and Kimmich, the midfielder is Toni Kroos and Khedira, and the frontcourt is Royce and Ozil With Gretzka, the lone striker is Werner.

When he got the starting lineup in the locker room just now, Yang Yang discussed with Queiroz, where will Gretzka appear? Is the German team playing four-three-three? Or play four two three one?

Undoubtedly, 433 tends to be aggressive, while 4231 is more conservative.

But now, Yang Yang stood on the center line and saw Gretzka standing as a winger.

He understood what Loew was thinking at this moment, he wanted to win, but he was afraid of losing.

It's a terrible state of mind, but very realistic.

Especially in the face of the defeat of his subordinates, the strength is far inferior to the Chinese team four years ago.

Almost everyone will face such a situation, for example, when they meet something they like very much, but its price is too high, and they want to buy it, but they are reluctant to pay such a high price.

Whether it is four, three, three, or four, two, three, one, the German team is doomed to fail in this World Cup. Even if they advance from the group stage, it will be difficult to go far, because their problems are too serious.

...

A lot of people just saw Love's team have the ball.

After the first two games, many media and fans were criticizing the German team's possession of the ball, and even thought that they controlled the ball for the sake of possession, or that they didn't have the diamonds, but they wanted to do the porcelain work and the like.

It doesn't matter whether it's high-position pressing or pressing, or passing and controlling the ball in the midfield, these are not problems.

The real problem with the German team is the lack of wings, especially on the left.

Although he only played two World Cups, Yang Yang has deeply felt the biggest change in this World Cup, which is the leap in defense level.

Whether it is the top teams, the Chinese team, or other teams, the defense has undergone tremendous changes.

In this case, it is purely a joke to want to rely on the personal abilities of the wide players.

The Champions League proved this early on and the World Cup is quickly catching up.

The German team has no shortage of wide players, such as Royce or Sane, but Loew only brought Royce, not Sane.

Thus, the right side became a problem.

Perhaps Loew’s idea is to use right back Kimmich, but in fact, if Kimmich is suppressed, Germany’s right is basically paralyzed. Once the offense cannot play wide, the result of high-position pressing and oppression is that the frontcourt is too crowded. .

The German team has never been a team with delicate feet. They can't play the small-scale coordination of the Spaniards.

The high press leads to a lack of offensive space in the frontcourt. Forward Werner is not a fulcrum striker like Klose. He needs space. The same is true for Ozil, and even more so for Reus.

As a result, everyone found that the German team has the advantage of the scene, the high position presses and the pressure gets a lot of ball possession, but it is difficult to create a threat. Why?

Because there is no offensive width!

If you lose the offensive width, you can't effectively pull the opponent's defense line, and if you can't effectively pull the opponent's defense line, how can you create space and create opportunities?

In the previous two games, Germany took 29 shots and scored no goals against Mexico, and took 19 shots and scored two goals against Sweden, including Toni Kroos' finale.

The other goal was a goal scored by center Gomez who came off the bench to assist Royce.

But in this game against the Chinese team, Loew once again put Werner in the starting lineup.

After seeing the starting lineup and player positions of the German team, Yang Yang turned his head and smiled slightly at Queiroz on the coach's bench.

The Portuguese nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Yang Yang's judgment.

After getting the approval of coach Queiroz, Yang Yang turned around and gestured towards his teammates behind him.

He wants to use this game to prove his point of view, and at the same time let Van Gaal and others see clearly that if he does not get a right back, then his Ajax will be like the German team tonight!

…………

…………

Tonight's Chinese team formed a four-four-two formation, with Yang Yang and Wu Lei forming a double forward.

This also clearly tells the Germans that the Chinese team will play defensive counterattacks.

At the beginning of the game, the German team firmly controlled the ball, while the Chinese team retreated across the board.

In the first 20 minutes, the German team's ball possession rate was as high as 80%, and the scene was absolutely one-sided.

Relying on its own tyrannical strength, the German chariot firmly controlled the situation on the field, but it was always difficult to create a threat.

They pass and control the ball more in the midfield, but it is difficult for them to pose a threat in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team.

Several attempts were made to create a crisis through the right, but neither the center nor the left responded.

The best chance was that after Royce forcibly broke through Zhang Linpeng on the left, he made a pass from the bottom line to the back point, but in the right rib of the penalty area, the German team did not have even one person, which caused the ball to go directly out of the bottom line.

This has almost become the best evidence for Yang Yang's judgment on the German team.

The Chinese team still kept the three lines tight, and the best chance came in the 31st minute. Yang Yang almost pierced through the German team's goal with a direct free kick from 28 meters away.

But this time Neuer was obviously prepared. He took the first step and blocked the ball with one hand, but Wu Lei, who followed up with a supplementary shot, failed to hit the right position and directly hit the ball out of the baseline, missing a good opportunity.

After that, the situation on the court was still one-sided.

The Chinese team has no ability and has never thought about competing with the German team for the ball.

The German team is also slow, seems to be very leisurely, and keeps going back and forth through the midfield. It seems that they have already taken a big lead and secured the victory in advance.

From the fans' point of view, this will definitely feel that there is a problem with the German team's mentality, but in fact it is not. On the contrary, it is because the German team cannot find a good opportunity to score in the 30-meter zone of the Chinese team.

In other words, they can only turn their feet on the periphery, and they can't play when they enter the 30-meter area.

The Chinese team has eight players in the 30-meter zone, organizing two lines of defense, plus the German team's own players, which makes the Chinese team's 30-meter zone full of people.

Especially the middle road on both sides of the top of the arc in the restricted area is even more overcrowded.

Needless to say, the Chinese team deployed heavily in the middle, while Werner, Ozil, Gretzka, Toni Kroos, Khedira and others of the German team were all active in this area.

Although the German team has the ball possession advantage, with more than 75% or even close to 80% of the ball possession rate, there are many shooting opportunities, but it is useless, more of them are long-range shots, and there are almost no truly threatening shots.

...

The first half ended with a goalless score, and Loew clearly made adjustments at halftime.

After the start of the second half, the German team launched another attack.

Royce scored the ball from the center to the right. Kimmich began to press heavily, inserted along the right, and picked a pass from the right side of the penalty area. Gretzka, who was unguarded in the penalty area, scored a header in front of the goal and was blocked by the goalkeeper. Wang Dalei held out with one hand.

This time the offensive threat was not great. Wang Dalei played well and did not give the German team a chance, but it reflected the changes in the German team.

In the first half, Yang Yang appeared on the left side, and Kimmich basically didn't dare to press it easily, because he was worried about being hit behind by Yang Yang.

But Loew couldn't take care of it now, and began to ask Kimmich to leave Yang Yang behind and press him hard.

The head coach of the Chinese national team, Queiroz, also immediately made adjustments, replacing Hao Junmin with Wu Xi and strengthening the midfield defense.

Only ten minutes later, Loew finally lost his composure and replaced Khedira with Gomez to strengthen the offense.

Five minutes later, Loew stepped up the attack further by replacing Goretzka with Thomas Müller.

Yang Yang and Queiroz have figured out this style of play, because Love has made such substitutions in the past two games, which are all routines.

After Khedira left the field, Wu Lei began to retreat, focusing on interfering with Toni Kroos.

Yang Yang is too familiar with Toni Kroos, he is not suitable to play as a single midfielder, because he is afraid of being robbed.

Sure enough, under the interference, the German team had problems with the ball in the midfield, and the mistakes in passing and receiving began to increase.

In the 77th minute, the German team made a pass error. After Feng Xiaoting intercepted Werner, he quickly passed the ball to the right.

The German players did not press the ball immediately. After Zhang Linpeng stopped the ball, he took a step forward, swung his big foot, and quickly sent the ball behind the German team's defense.

Yang Yang quickly sprinted to the left side of the arc top area of ​​the penalty area at the first time, chasing Zhang Linpeng's long pass.

The two central defenders, Jule and Hummels, were chasing back at the same time, and both of them were closely behind Yang Yang.

Outside the penalty area of ​​the German team, on the left side of the top of the arc, Yang Yang got ahead of Jule and picked Zhang Linpeng's long pass back to his right, avoiding Jule's clearance. At the same time, Yang Yang's entire body The man made a sudden stop and changed direction, and quickly stopped the ball horizontally under his feet.

After stopping the ball, Yang Yang quickly adjusted his pace, before Hummels caught up and intercepted him. After he stabilized his left foot, he quickly kicked a strong volley with his right foot.

The two central defenders of the German team were both in place and were attacking Yang Yang at the same time, but Yang Yang still created a gap abruptly, and then this strong volley from the left side of the arc outside the penalty area hit the German goalkeeper Neuer. Caught off guard.

When Neuer reacted and quickly flew sideways to the right, Yang Yang's long-range shot had already brushed the inside of the right post and crashed into the goal of the German team.

It wasn't until this moment that all the fans in the audience suddenly reacted.

The German team was stunned from top to bottom, beyond shock.

They knew Yang Yang's threat, but what they didn't expect was that Yang Yang was able to play such a crazy performance after more than 70 minutes of the game.

It can be said that he almost single-handedly rewrote the result of this game and completely changed the fate of the Chinese team and the German team.

Not only the players on the field, but also the fans in the stands, and even the audience and fans all over the world squatting in front of the TV, were stunned at this moment!
