What is a destructive midfielder?

At Atlantic Stadium, cheers erupted one after another.

All members of the Spanish bench could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The painful experiences of the Confederations Cup and World Cup made everyone realize that Spain is not that strong.

The German team is a formidable opponent.

Mueller is even more of a "corkscrew of tragedy."

If they fall behind by one goal at the start, Spain will be passive in the next game and be snowballed step by step by the German team.

A simple rescue, extremely inspiring.

Isco excitedly grabbed a handful of Morata's penis.

Diego Costa excitedly locked Saul's neck with his elbow.

Mignano exclaimed: "Boss, how could Li's defensive speed be so fast? He seemed to have guessed it."

A gleam of wisdom flashed in Del Bosque's eyes and he said: "He knows Bayern's players very well, including Kimmich's passing tendency, and he deduced the German team's offensive direction and end point in a short period of time."

"The German team's offense is going to change again."

The other side.

Loew put his finger to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

Then he made gestures to the midfielders and backfielders.

Near the center circle.

Hummels stopped the ball steadily, and the German team was not in a hurry to continue attacking.

Cross retreated again to sort out the midfield.

The midfield and frontcourt players resumed their respective formation positions in an instant.

The football is passed slowly on the turf.

Boateng waved towards goalkeeper Ter Stegen, indicating the latter's position to move forward, just like Neuer usually does.

Speaking of Neuer, it's miserable.

He was still staying on the bed in the resident bedroom, lying on his stomach watching the live broadcast of the game, with a very anxious expression, saying to himself: "Your damn positioning distance is too far from the back line. Hey! It's not good to be too close. That kid Li will break up the defense line!"

Ter Stegen was inexplicably nervous in a way that a professional player shouldn't be.

It’s very unfamiliar and awkward.

His chances of playing for the national team were few and far between.

Fortunately, the guys on the defense line all grew up under the same German youth training system, so there won't be any big mistakes for the time being.

The German team's playing style in the midfield and backcourt is completely different from Barcelona's.

At the club.

Enrique told him: "You are still very young. Not only do you have to reduce mistakes, but you also have to learn from Bravo and become an important passing point in the backcourt. As long as you can integrate into the system, your foot skills can completely make up for attacks and saves." The best defense is to help teammates gain possession of the ball, just like Valdez did.”

In the German team.

Loew told him: "You have to learn from Neuer and master the threatening ball handling of the high defensive line, because the German team spends most of the time pressing its opponents to attack. Also, it is best to directly participate in the attack during the goal kick phase. Frontcourt teammates create opportunities.”

"Offense is the best defense."

These are two different concepts.

Ter Stegen, 24, is still too young based on a goalkeeper’s life cycle.

He may become one of the top goalkeepers in the world at some point in the future.

But it is still not fully understood: in top competitions, the goalkeeper's strength is not only reflected at the personal level, but also integrated with the team's style.

"The German team changed its previous attack of impact and speed!"

"Gradually and steadily they advance!"

"The Spanish team's frontcourt pressure doesn't have much effect."

"The two passing points of Kroos and Boateng are so stable that they are not afraid of the opponent's pressing in the frontcourt in a short period of time."

Cazorla and Iniesta started a quick press in the frontcourt.

David Silva is relatively slow, but he predicts the ball's second pass point very accurately.

These three people don't steal the ball for the sake of stealing it.

Instead, it interfered with the German team's second pass.

Influence the opponent's midfielder's advancement and organization.

Generally speaking, a team with a slightly weak midfield will have a hard time encountering these three midfield masters.

Where did Ke Pang go?

He is pestering Cross.

Even girls who don't usually watch football can recognize at a glance who the core midfielder of the German team is.

Very reasonable.

It seems that the legendary core players in football history are either handsome or ugly, and they have more or less temperament.

Unfortunately.

Kroos, who is active on the right, is too stable in taking the ball forward.

Cork worked hard, but couldn't interfere with the East Germans' passing rhythm.

What is forward and what is backward?

To understand it literally:

One is to take the ball head-on and face the press.

One is to face the press with the ball behind his back.

However, many experts also translate it as: front and back.

It involves many, many elements

Time passed by minute by minute.

Germany controlled the ball steadily and advanced slowly.

The game gradually became a "war of position within the movement."

Press → Counter press → Intercept the pass → Adjust the passing distance to counter intercept.

"The four of Kroos, Khedira, Boateng and Hummels keep football running very easily."

"Let alone the national team, even the giants in the five major leagues find it difficult to find two central defenders with excellent ball-playing abilities at the same time. The goalkeeper Ter Stegen from Barcelona can only stare."

"Beautiful football that belongs to Germany!"

"The two full-backs pressed forward!"

"Müller and Draxler moved into the centre."

"From our perspective, the German team is like a big net, about to cover the Spanish backcourt!"

Atlantic Stadium.

The fans of both sides shouted wildly.

Although there was no goal yet, the scene was very enjoyable to watch.

Li Kang did not participate in the pressing.

He chose to stand parallel to Busquets, waiting for the opponent's storm attack in the 30-meter area.

From the perspective of God.

He really couldn't guess who was responsible for the overall pace of the German team.

Kroos?

Boateng?

Hummels?

These three guys all have terrifying passing abilities and determine the different offensive directions of the German team.

We can only wait.

Waiting for Koke to make a contribution and disgust Kroos.

The answer to the Spanish team's defense will become a choice between two.

Are there any Atletico players who don't talk trash and make small moves?

Yes.

Young Koke. He hasn't fully learned the essence from his big brother yet.

He is following Kroos and saying "trash talk" that doesn't hurt.

The upper limit is what your shoes are so ugly, your hair wax smells so bad

Finally.

When Kroos received the ball with his back to the goal in the 40-meter area.

Slowly raising his finger is a signal to speed up the attack!

The reverse forward swing of the immortal's guidance?

Critical moment.

The young Atletico Madrid player still showed a flash of inspiration.

Koke was like a little wild boar, fiercely arching towards the lower body of the German core, trying to steal the ball!

With the fierce momentum, the effect of muscle gain is infinitely magnified.

Bang!

The football rolled out of the sideline.

Kroos sat on the grass with his buttocks and raised his hands helplessly.

Beep!

The referee-Kassai, blew the whistle decisively, stepped forward quickly and gave Koke a gentle verbal warning.

"This game is difficult."

"The only team that can share the ball possession data with the Spanish team is their students: Loew's German team."

There was no chaos or dispute on the green field.

Kroos is not only skilled, but also strong as a bull.

He sat on the grass and stretched out his hand to Koke unhappily.

The young Atletico player was so embarrassed that he pulled him up.

This short clip caused the neutral fans in the nearby stands to burst into applause.

On the side of the court.

Mignano said anxiously: "Boss, this is different from the pre-match deployment. Our current situation is very dangerous and passive!"

Bosque had a kind smile on his face: "Where is the danger? The strikerless formation does not have the upper hand just because it has the ball. You can see that it is difficult for the German team to advance to our dangerous area."

"Don't worry, football is not a race."

On the other side.

Loew stood in the command area and scratched his eye sockets.

His eyes were fixed on the Spanish team's midfield and backcourt.

The coaching staff behind him was busy.

Assistant coach Sorge was frantically deducing: If the ball is lost in different areas of the Spanish half, what should be done respectively? If the ball is lost, how to limit Li?

This is a German team armed to the teeth.
