The Strongest Demon Front

Coach Gao Hongbo walked into the locker room and handed Zidane a note.

It says the German team's starting lineup for this game.

Zidane looked at it twice carefully.

Subsequently.

Zidane smiled.

He expected that the German team might not take this game seriously, but he did not expect that Loew would be so arrogant.

In today's game, the German team's starting lineup changed drastically.

Compared with the last victory over Sweden, they almost hid nearly half of their main players.

For example, in the last game Germany's central defender combination was Rudiger and Boateng, but in today's game it was replaced by Hummels and Süle.

A completely different pairing of defenders.

Zidane can guess that Loew has made such personnel adjustments in advance to prepare for the games after qualifying from the group.

After all, in the intensive schedule of the World Cup, if you want to go all the way to the end and win the championship, it is very important to preserve your physical strength appropriately.

Loew has extensive championship experience with Germany.

It's perfectly normal for them to do this. Think about it from their perspective.

Zidane touched his head.

He put down the German team's roster and said to his players seriously.

"Remember what I just said, maintain a good formation and defend the middle."

"Today's game will not really start until the 70th minute!"

"I know, you may not believe what I say now. But we can win this game!"

…

Loew stood on the sidelines.

He was full of ambition.

In the last World Cup, he beat Brazil violently and won the World Cup in a way that subverted tradition. This brought Loew's reputation in Germany to a peak. Two years later, the success of the German second team in the Confederations Cup convinced Loew of his tactics.

Although the warm-up match before this cup did not perform well, and although Germany struggled in the first two games of the World Cup group stage, Loew always believed that he and Germany were on the right path.

Just as Zidane guessed, he did make a larger rotation in the game against China.

Germany won the last game against Sweden, but the consumption was not low.

In order to ensure the physical strength of the main players and to go further in the knockout rounds in the future, Loew believes that rotation is necessary.

If there is no rotation in the game against China, should we wait until we play Brazil before doing rotation?

Loew smiled.

Thinking of Brazil, an interesting opponent, Loew couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile, and unconsciously and familiarly stretched his right index finger towards his sexy big nostril.

At this time.

Zidane emerged from the tunnel.

Loew turned around and saw him.

Taking the initiative to greet him, Loew stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zidane.

"You're doing a great job!"

"I never thought,

Today's game will actually become a life and death battle to determine the right to qualify, haha! "Loew laughed and hugged Zidane.

Zidane thought to himself, judging from your starting lineup, I don't see at all that this is a life and death battle for you.

Or maybe the German never thought that China would become their opponent in the group qualifying route?

Zidane and Loew exchanged a few pleasantries and then left.

As he walked back to his coaching bench, Zidane suddenly remembered something.

Before shaking hands and hugging him, that person seemed to be picking his nose?

Damn it...

Zidane felt bad, as if he had encountered a magic attack.

My body is dirty...

Zidane is a little depressed.

He looked at Chu Ge who was walking out of the players tunnel, feeling very unhappy.

If he cannot win this game, Zidane will feel that he has suffered a big loss.

The game hasn't started yet.

Chu Ge was preparing to warm up on the field.

When passing by Zidane, he noticed that the coach looked a little strange, as if he had been drilled repeatedly by a strong man. Chu Ge couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Are you okay?" Chu Ge asked with concern.

Zidane shook his head quickly.

"fine."

He said.

By the way, he hugged Chu Ge. Then, he wiped his palms hard on the jersey behind Chu Ge.

"I'm fine," Zidane said.

Chu Ge:......

…

Chu Ge soon met Cross.

The two former teammates came together.

"Let's have dinner together after the game." Chu Ge greeted Cross.

Today's game is the last game of the group stage. It's almost a week before the top 16 game. It's enough time for familiar friends to have a small dinner.

"Okay." Cross agreed readily.

"However, I'm worried that you won't be in the mood to treat me to dinner by then." Cross put his arm around Chu Ge's shoulders and chuckled softly in his ear.

"As long as you're not in the mood then." Chu Ge laughed.

The two of them stood very close, but a little far away from the German players.

Kroos has a good relationship with his Real Madrid teammates, including former teammates. But he doesn't seem to have that close relationship with the Bayern players. Therefore, during the warm-up, he was more willing to chat with Chu Ge, but kept some distance from his national team teammates.

…

The game starts soon.

The starting lineup of the German team is: Neuer, Kimmich, Hummels, Süle, Hector, Toni Kroos, Khedira, Goretzka, Draxler, Reus, Werner .

Zidane looked towards Germany's bench.

On the bench are Barcelona's young lion ter Stegen, Chelsea defender Rudiger, Manchester City midfielder Gundogan, Dortmund rookie Brand, and "comedian" Muller.

All are famous generals.

However, Sane, who is trusted and valued by Guardiola, is not among them.

Sane was not selected for this German national team at all.

The reason is simple, Loew doesn't know how to use it.

Loew used his so-called passing control to win the World Cup in the last World Cup. Therefore, he did not want to make any changes to his tactics. He once tried to integrate Sane into his tactical system, but the interesting thing is that Sane performed well under the pass-control coach Guardiola, but he was lost as soon as he returned to the German national team.

Loew believes this must be Sane's problem.

As a result, this talented wing attacker bid farewell to this World Cup early.

This is actually good news for every Germany opponent in the World Cup.

Loew's national team relies too heavily on Bayern, which is a good thing. Because Bayern's international players have a good understanding at the club, and they are indeed excellent. When Bayern's international players return to the national team and they bring the club's tacit understanding to the national team, the work of the national team will naturally be much easier.

But this will also have some problems.

For example, Sane's integration problem.

For another example, Bayern's state was not good in the past year.

…

Just as Zidane expected, the German team quickly passed the half and held China firmly in the half.

The football is always passed back and forth in front of the Chinese penalty area.

Germany's ball possession rate soon exceeded 70%.

In football matches, 55% of the possession of the ball can already show a relatively obvious advantage, and 60% of the possession of the ball is almost one-sided.

The Germans achieved 70%.

This means that the football is almost passed from the feet of the German players, and basically nothing happens to the Chinese players.

The Chinese players have been passively defending.

The fans were worried when they saw such a scene of being passively beaten.

Although they know that there is a huge gap in strength between their team and the powerful Germany, fans can't help but be worried. Whenever the German team moves the football to the front of China's penalty area, the fans' hearts will be lifted into their throats.

They were worried that the German team would score.

They are worried that the national football team will suffer a rout.

For example, 1:7.

(Brazil: Feeling offended)

but.

After being besieged by Germany for a long time, Chinese fans actually began to gradually adapt.

They were no longer as nervous as they had been at the beginning, worried that the other party would use too much force or suffer too much pain. Instead, they began to relax a little, and even began to feel a little pleasure.

This is not because fans have Stockholm Syndrome and are getting beat up.

But the Germans failed to attack for a long time.

The football was passed lively outside the penalty area, but as soon as it entered the Chinese penalty area, it immediately seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and the operation began to fail. In order to prevent losing the ball, the German players had to pass the football to the outside again, regain control of the ball, and reorganize the goal.

Their offensive organization is very lively, but they always just dabble without going in.

The danger to China's goal is not very great.

…

Zheng Zhi stood firmly in the penalty area, like an iron tower. In front of him, Werner worked hard to squeeze away Zheng Zhi and fulfill his duties as the team's center. But no matter how hard Werner tried, he couldn't squeeze away from Zheng Zhi.

In front of Zheng Zhi, the handsome Werner is like a younger brother.

"The coach is indeed right. The biggest weakness of the German team is the lack of a center."

"The last step of their passing and control is to pass the football to the center. In the center, they don't have Klose or a tall center like Bierhoff as a fulcrum, and they lack the ability of Klinsmann. The strong point in the middle with impact makes their offense look lively, but the threat is greatly reduced."

Zheng Zhi forced Werner away and knocked the football out of the wing. Looking at the football flying out of bounds, he suddenly had more confidence in this game.

"Germany is not that strong."

Zheng Zhi thought to himself.

And Werner was a little depressed.

At the beginning of his career, some people regarded Werner as Mario Gomez II. But then people discovered that in addition to being born in Stuttgart and having excellent scoring ability, Werner and Gomez are almost completely different types of forwards.

Now, Loew uses Werner as Gomez. No wonder Werner plays awkwardly.

…

The game quickly went on for nearly thirty minutes, and the score was still 0:0.

Germany had a clear advantage but failed to score. They had a total of 5 shots, four of which were long-range shots from outside the penalty area, and a total of two shots hit the goal frame.

China had two shots, both from long range.

Zidane stood on the sidelines.

The situation of the game was just as he expected.

In La Liga, he once coached Real Madrid and played passing games, and he was also passed and controlled. Zidane is very familiar with this set of tactics of passing and controlling.

He knows very well where the vitality of this style of play lies.

It's a pity that China only has one Chu Ge, but there is no Cristiano Ronaldo, Modric or Marcelo. Otherwise, he would be sure to knock out all the brains of the German team and teach Loew how to behave.

Tactics are dead, people are alive. If you forcefully force living people into old-fashioned tactics that do not keep pace with the times, even if that set of tactics has created brilliant achievements, it will eventually be outdated and outdated, and will be severely beaten by society.

Obviously, Loew's national team did not learn the lesson of being beaten by Mexico.

The problem with China is that they do not have the strength like Mexico to quickly give the Germans an unforgettable counterattack.

They still need time to accumulate strength.

During this period, players need to work harder and defend better. Especially the defense in the middle. As long as Germany's pass to the center is blocked, more than half of Germany's offense will be paralyzed.

Who told them not to bring a center.

Keshen's reputation is not just blown away, but achieved through actual killing.

…

Knock God?

Cross: Yes, right down there!

The football was passed between the two central defenders of the German team. Now it was Sule who passed to Hummels, and now it was Hummels who passed to Sule. The ball possession rate soared, and the two central defenders passed the ball. The number of passes and the success rate of passes have skyrocketed.

Everything is so peaceful and peaceful.

Just no threat.

Cross thought, this was not going to work, so he took the initiative to retreat and come to get the ball.

Sule called Cross back and decisively passed the football to Cross.

As soon as Cross got the ball, Chu Ge followed.

However, Chu Ge was not a professional defensive player after all. Cross made a few adjustments and protected the football.

But when he turned around to protect the ball and was about to find his teammates, Cross was dumbfounded.

In front of him, seven German players lined up in a straight line, side by side, side by side with the Chinese defenders.

wdnmd……

Cross couldn't complain.

For a time, Kroos, a world-class midfielder, didn't know how to play football.

What's our formation now?

217?

who I am?

Am I Casemiro?

Cross was in deep doubt.

However, a world-class midfielder is a world-class midfielder after all. When he had doubts about life, Kroos was still very stable in protecting the ball and did not give Chu Ge any opportunities to take advantage of.

After passing the football back to the defender, Kroos ignored it.

He also rushed towards China's penalty area.

Not to mention that Cross is not good at playing Casemiro's role for Bayern. Even if he can do it, he is not willing to do it now.

"We still relied on my goals to win the last game. If we want to win this game, we may need me to score. I have to be closer to the goal."

then,

Cross thrusts forward happily.

Behind him were Süle and Hummels.

The two big guys looked at me and I looked at you, and they happily started passing each other around again.

…

"The German team doesn't seem to be in a hurry."

"Yeah, it's like they're already ahead."

"But if the game ends in a draw, aren't they the ones who will be eliminated? If I remember correctly, the number of goals scored by the German team is not as good as that of the Chinese team. The points are the same and the goal difference is the same. Isn't it the goal with more goals? Did the team show up? Did I remember it wrong?"

Looking at the world-famous paintings on the court, the fans began to talk about it.

The German fans began to sit still.

They became somewhat silent.

And those betting dogs who placed heavy bets on Germany to win, or even a big victory, felt that things were not that simple at this time.

The soles of their feet began to feel cold.

"The German team won't be tied, right? No, no, no, no, no?"

They never expected that such a stable game would lead to the current situation.

…

After the halftime break of the game, in the second half, the scene was still similar to the first half.

The entire Huaxia team retreated.

Including Wu Sanshi and Chu Ge, everyone returned to their own half.

In its own defensive area, China deployed heavy troops. Especially for the penalty area and the top of the penalty area, they deployed layers of defense.

Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting and others are all working very hard.

They firmly established their defensive position, using their numbers and willpower to make up for possible deficiencies in consciousness and technology, and they just prevented Germany from finding a good opportunity.

Of course, this is also related to the poor performance of the German team in the first half of the game.

"Werner is not suitable to play as a center forward. Goretzka and Draxler are very capable players, but they go to wealthy clubs to play as substitutes when they need the ball the most. Kimmich has just transformed from a defensive midfielder to playing on the wing. Wei, we are still in the adaptation period.”

"Brandt, the only one who stood out in the German team, Loew did not use his courage. Muller, who can change the situation, has not been in good shape this year."

"If Klose is still there, we will have other tactical options. Now, do we need to count on the 33-year-old Mario Gomez who has been seriously injured and can't even play in the club?"

The German commentator shook his head while watching the game.

The German national team in front of him was not what he was familiar with.

"Lew quickly replaces people and adjusts quickly!"

"If this game ends with a draw with China, Loew should get out of here and don't go back to China!"

The fans became a little anxious.

At this time.

As expected, Loew couldn't sit still.

He picked his nose while making substitution adjustments.

Gomez played with Muller, replacing Goretzka and Draxler.

When substitutions were needed, Loew chose to continue to believe in the players who had helped him win the World Cup.

Zidane glanced at Loew.

The German team's substitution adjustments were completely within his expectations. He had long expected that Loew would make such a substitution.

It can be regarded as an indispensable policy for Qi Xuanzong.

"Gomez has made up for Germany's strong ability in the middle, but he has expired."

"Mueller is very strong, but he is not a player who creates opportunities, but a player who seizes them. Moreover, the Germans have criticized him too much. In this competition, Muller may be in the best shape of the German team. Bad player."

Zidane has a clear understanding of the two new German players.

He didn't panic at all.

I even wanted to laugh a little.

When will the German team, which is full of talents, encounter the dilemma of having no one to replace.

…

really.

The appearance of two new players did not activate the German team. Their offensive was still just thunder and no rain. It looked lively, but there was no threat.

The German players pushed forward desperately.

They seemed like everyone was a vanguard.

In terms of offensive organization, the German team became even more disorganized.

After Gomez came on, they even played the old-fashioned cross from the wings.

But this style of play is based on the passing player's passing footwork being accurate enough, and the central player's body and positioning advantages.

If Gomez were ten years younger, or even five years younger, it would be possible to support the German team's midfield.

It's a pity that he is no longer the Gomez who could push Klose out of Bayern Munich.

After several attempts at the top failed, the Germans became increasingly anxious.

They began to get confused.

Every time they get the ball, they want to attack and send the football into the penalty area faster.

As a result, Germany's ball possession rate began to decline, while the Chinese team's chances of getting the ball improved unknowingly.

At this time.

The game reached the 70th minute.

Zidane looked up at the score.

The score is still 0:0.

He touched his head.

The texture of this braised egg is still very moist.
