My uncle is Inzaghi

"I don't think the German team is dominant overall!"

Hargreaves had not yet finished speaking.

Another guest commentator, Arsenal legend Ian Wright, immediately refuted.

"I don't even think that what fans in the media say about Italy restraining Germany is a baseless and unreasonable conjecture."

A British guy with a strong sense of morality, a famous Arsenal star, and a natural supporter of Li Mo, are now arguing in the live commentary room of Sky Sports.

"Isn't it? Ian, do you also think that such a thing as restraint really exists?"

"Of course it exists!"

Ian Wright said.

"You are right, the German team relies on teamwork to win, but at the same time they also have a big flaw, that is, they lack an absolute breaking point!! When such a German team faces the Italian defense, they will definitely encounter When it comes to problems, sometimes. In this case, it is necessary to rely on the personal ability of the star to solve the problem. If there is a Robben or a Ribery in the German lineup, I will not say such things. !”

"The German team has players with strong breakthrough ability"

"For example?" Wright pouted, "Royce was injured before the World Cup, which is definitely the biggest loss for the Germans!"

"For example, Mario Gotze"

"laugh"

Ian Wright made a snort from his mouth.

The opposition between the two seems to be very acute.

This is exactly what the network wants to see.

Just as various TV stations were warming up for the upcoming finals of the competition.

Players from both sides have finished their warm-up and returned to the locker room.

In the locker room.

Prandelli looked around at his players.

After losing in the 2012 European Cup final, Prandelli thought it would be difficult for the Italian team to reach such a big stage again.

But I didn't expect it.

In 2014, this year's World Cup, the Italian team once again stood on the stage of the final.

at this time.

It stands to reason that as a head coach, Prandelli should have a lot to say.

But looking at these players, especially when he set his sights on Li Mo.

Prandelli suddenly felt that he had nothing to say.

Without Li Mo, the Italian team would be inferior to the German team in all aspects.

If the Italian team can win the championship, it must be because of Li Mo's outstanding performance.

Therefore, he said something that surprised the Italian players present.

"Li, please say a few words."

Everyone was surprised.

It stands to reason that this occasion should be the moment for the head coach to do his final pre-war mobilization.

Even if the head coach doesn't speak.

There are also captains and deputy captains.

However, everyone was just surprised, but did not find it abrupt, because Li Mo's position in this team is here.

Li Mo was also a little surprised.

He didn't expect that the head coach would let him say a few words on this occasion.

"At this time, I want to hear what you have to say, Li."

Prandelli said.

He felt that the confidence of the Italian team's players came from Li Mo.

at this time.

It is most appropriate to let Li Mo do the pre-war mobilization.

Li Mo showed his confidence, so other players in the Italian team will have confidence.

"good!"

Li Mo didn't hesitate, he stood up immediately.

He walked up to Prandelli, and the other twenty-two players and twenty-two pairs of eyes looked at him.

It's not just the players.

It also includes the coaching staff, logistics team, and medical staff.

In the locker room.

Everyone fell silent.

Everyone wants to hear what Li Mo has to say.

At this moment, he is the captain of the Italian team without the armband.

Li Mo looked at his teammates.

He made eye contact with almost every player.

This feeling was familiar to him.

It's the same at Arsenal.

He is what the team relies on, and he is what other players rely on.

He didn't reject this feeling.

There is a saying that goes well, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

"Actually, I don't have anything to say. Football is played, not talked. We are not here for a runner-up."

Li Mo didn't know what to say at first.

But after he opened his mouth, the words seemed to burst out from his fighting spirit.

Italian players were also infected by him.

After a speech.

Everyone was excited and their fighting spirit reached its peak.

The Germans were also clearly well mobilized.

When players from both sides come to the player tunnel.

Everyone stared intently.

Captains of both sides.

Buffon and Lahm both stood at the front of the queue with their heads held high.

Li Mo stood at the end of the queue.

Standing at the back of the German team is Klose, who currently holds the World Cup scoring record. In the World Cup, he scored 16 goals, surpassing Ronaldo to become the World Cup scoring king!

"I know you are powerful, Lee!"

When no one spoke.

Klose suddenly spoke.

Everyone couldn't help but turn around, and even Li Mo couldn't help turning his head to look at his opponent in this match.

"You scored 14 goals in a single World Cup. Your talent and ability are really amazing."

Klose seemed to be complimenting Li Mo.

"Thanks."

Li Mo said.

But Klose waved his hand: "Don't think I'm complimenting you. I'm an old man. It took me 4 World Cups to score 16 goals. You only took 1 World Cup to score 14 goals. This comparison is really... It’s so embarrassing to me.”

"I know you'll eventually beat my record."

Klose turned his head, stared at Li Mo, and said word by word: "But, not in this game!"

"I don't care about that!"

Li Mo said suddenly.

"I only care about the championship!"

Klose was stunned for a moment, and then a wry smile appeared on his lips.

As Klose said. He is an "old man".

He is not naive enough to think that a World Cup goal record is more important than a World Cup title.

The reason why he said that.

Or because

Li Mo is too young.

This young face is so deceptive.

Klose didn't play against Li Mo much.

But he knew Li Mo's abilities very well, and he never dared to underestimate Li Mo.

These words are actually psychological tactics.

He hopes to arouse Li Mo's desire to compete with him for the total number of World Cup goals.

He scored 16 and Li Mo scored 14.

The difference is two.

The gap between the two will put some pressure on Li Mo, making him more inclined to shoot by himself on the court, thus neglecting to cooperate with other Italian players - this is Klose's purpose.

But obviously.

Li Mo was not fooled.

Klose looked at Li Mo and turned his head.

He knew that his own era was almost over.

The back wave, uh, it should be the tsunami from behind, which has been overwhelmingly suppressed.

Klose suddenly felt a little gloating - those geniuses of the same era as Li Mo, hehe, you are in a miserable state.

Fortunately, I am an old man.

No matter how awesome Li Mo is, it has nothing to do with me.

Maybe I will be a commentator on TV in the future.

Klose thought as he led the caddy into the court.

When he stepped onto the turf, he jumped up and bent his knees out of habit.

"This guy is still an old man."

Li Mo couldn't help but complain.

Klose’s jumping height is quite high.

With this skill, he still speaks like an old man.

What kind of sweeping behavior?

After going through a series of pre-match rituals.

Klose and Thomas Muller stood in the center circle ready to kick off.

The TV stations of all parties are busy broadcasting the first starts of both sides.

The Italian side’s starting lineup for this game is as follows:

Goalkeeper Buffon, center back Chiellini partnered with Barzagli, left back Saletta, right back Damian, the three midfielders are Pirlo, De Rossi, Montolivo, Verratti plays In the attacking midfielder, Li Mo and the Italian striker Immobile, who was transferred to Dortmund for 10 million euros, partnered on the front line.

Balotelli temporarily sat on the bench.

Immobile played for Turin last season and scored 22 goals in Serie A, which was very efficient.

He didn't have many chances to play in this tournament.

So far, he has not scored a goal, but in this game, Balotelli had some leg discomfort before the game, so he got the chance to play.

The German team has an initial position of 4231.

The goalkeeper is No. 1 goalkeeper Neuer.

The center back combination of Boateng and Hummels, right back Hwedes, and left back Lahm.

In the midfield, Bastian Schweinsteiger partnered with Khedira, Kroos stood in the attacking midfielder position, Thomas Muller played on the right, and the left was handed over to Bad Beggar.

The one who leads the forward line is naturally the veteran Klose.

The three midfielders of the German team are all players with attacking midfielder attributes.

Neither Beggar nor Muller are winger-type players. Beggar is placed on the left and plays as a wide midfielder.

When Muller plays on the right wing, he takes advantage of his flexible movement and switches between the roles of inside right forward and midfielder.

The initial position of the German team is 4231, but when attacking, they can still switch to various offensive formations very flexibly and develop various offensive routines.

This is because the players in their midfield are basically the kind of players who can play various roles in the midfield.

Switching is very flexible.

It is precisely because the five players in the German team's midfield have the ability to pass the threatening ball forward.

Therefore, Loew chose Klose, who is more capable of eating cakes, to play forward instead of Podolski, or, as was also the case in previous games, let Gotze play the center position and play without a forward.

obviously.

Klose's appearance in the game has completely explained the German team's tactical choices - they will definitely take the initiative to seek offense! !

"During this period, some people are talking about past results or tactical restraint. But in the final analysis, the result of the game is still controlled by the players. German team! Come on!!"

The German commentator took a deep breath and said.

At this moment, the referee had put the whistle in his mouth and raised his wrist to look at the time.

At this time, the entire Maracana Stadium suddenly became quiet.

The television broadcast cut to aerial footage from a drone over the Maracanã Stadium.

New technology brings new angles to broadcasting.

Drones circle the field.

Finally, the picture continued to rise, and a huge statue of Christ appeared in the picture.

in the distance.

It's a fiery red sunset.

When the sunset was about to be swallowed by Monte Cristo.

Beep! !

Two sharp whistles.

The screen also switched back to the stadium.

Game!

Start!

In an instant, the cheers on the scene exploded like thunder.

In this most famous stadium in the world.

Klose kicked the ball to Thomas Muller.

And he himself ran directly to the center position.

No striker formation is a helpless choice.

With a top center forward.

Who is willing to play a no striker formation?

Thomas Muller kicked the ball back to Schweinsteiger.

And at this moment.

Li Mo had passed by him like a gust of wind.

This scared Muller - if he was a little late, or passed a little slower.

This ball might have been directly intercepted by Li Mo!

Muller took a deep breath.

The pressure of being dominated by Li Mo in the Champions League came back.

He couldn't help but remind loudly: "Be careful!!"

But he didn't need to remind.

Schweinsteiger was facing the Italian team's goal head-on.

He saw Li Mo rushing up.

So he handled it calmly.

He passed the ball diagonally back to Lahm.

This resolved Li Mo's aggressive rush.

And Li Mo did not rush towards Lahm immediately.

He knew that he had lost his chance if he did not panic the Germans in the first attempt.

Continuing to rush over would only mean being played around.

It would be a waste of energy.

Schweinsteiger continued to walk to the backcourt after passing the ball.

Lahm advanced more than ten meters with the ball.

The two central defenders of the German team pulled away to the left and right.

Swiinsteiger landed on the back line.

Kroos retreated to form a double defensive midfielder with Khedira, and the two full-backs often pushed forward and stood in a line with Kroos and Khedira.

At the same time, the evil beggar was received from the wing to the front midfielder.

And Muller pressed to the front line.

At the beginning of the game.

The Germans switched their formation to a 3412 shape.

This position ensures that every player has at least two points of contact when he gets the ball.

In addition, German goalkeeper Neuer has a strong ability to get the ball.

The German team's set is almost a copy of Guardiola's tactical system in Bayern Munich.

Of course.

The Germans also have their own things.

In the case of a large number of passing points in the backcourt.

If Italy does not press forward, it will be impossible to intercept the ball from the German team.

But now the game has just begun.

So Italy is not in a hurry to get the ball back.

If the German team wants to pass the ball in the backcourt.

Then let it pass!

Italian players only need to stand in key positions.

As soon as the game started, the German team passed the ball several times in the backcourt.

It seems that this is another boring final.

Many commentators showed disappointment on their faces.

Although it was predicted long ago, no one really wanted to watch a boring and sleepy game.

"The German team passed the ball in the backcourt"

Andy Gray, the commentator of Sky Sports TV, said with a bit of disappointment in his tone.

But the next moment.

He suddenly became louder.

"Kroos! Long pass to Klose!!!"

Amid the exclamations of the commentators.

Kroos suddenly made a long pass and hit the Italian team's penalty area.

In the penalty area, Klose rushed forward and headed the ball towards the goal!

Fortunately, Buffon was focused, moved one step and jumped, and hit the ball out of the baseline.

"Oh oh oh! Klose! He turned his head and looked at the moon at the beginning of the game!"

"Klose's header is still powerful!"

"His first few goals in the World Cup were all headers. At that time, people thought Klose was a striker who could only head the ball."

The commentators praised the performance of the veteran Klose.

The camera also locked on Klose.

Li Mo stared at Klose in the distance, and couldn't help but complain to Immobile beside him: "Did you see this guy's header? He has the nerve to say that he is an old man with such a physical condition!" (End of this chapter)
