There is a belief called football

Chapter 636 Fighting Germany ([-])
20 minutes into the first half of the game, 10 minutes have passed since Ozil's goal. In these 10 minutes, the two teams played very fiercely. They did not entangle in the midfield, and they all played with one kick. This kind of game looks more exciting, but of course the turnover rate is also relatively high.

Especially the German team here.

You heard it right, the German team made more mistakes than the Chinese team in this game.

This is related to the injuries of the German team personnel. The two defensive midfielders of the German team in this game are Kroos and Draxler, and the German team's usual midfielders are usually Kroos and a tough guy.

Either Juventus' "Khedira" or Dortmund's "Bender", but in this cup, Khedira was injured in the first game, and Bender never came to Russia. Under such circumstances, Loew chose two purely skilled midfielders to play as midfielders.

Therefore, under the impact of the Chinese team's fairly good midfielder, it is difficult for Kroos and Draxler to protect the midfielder. This may be a hidden danger for the German team in this game.

Stan took out his "small notebook" again. Stan had done a lot of investigations before the game, but the information was still not enough.

"Give me the tablet",
Queiroz seemed to hear something strange, "You old antique still need a tablet"?
Stan has always been old-fashioned when it comes to his work, which is where he's more rigid.

"Less nonsense",
Stan looked it up online, and it seemed that this was the first time German football used two purely technical midfielders in recent years.

Everyone was still impressed in the last World Cup. The German team's midfielder was Kramer, who was hit by a concussion in the final.

Suddenly, Stan seemed to think of something, he walked to the sidelines and called Wang Kong and Liao Lisheng over.

"As long as the opponent's midfielder gets the ball, you go up and grab it like mad dogs",
"Mad Dog"?
This is a rough and unreasonable word, and Stan feels that only these two words can express his meaning now.

Wang Kong didn't care about these, he understood what Stan meant.

*****
In fact, some people think that the technical flow is like that of Spain, but it is not, the technical flow can also be sluggish.

For example, as in Belgium, the midfielders are all technical players, and the final result is that the game is stuck, because every midfielder will take the ball when he takes the ball. Everyone delays for 2 seconds, and it seems that the offense is not smooth.

Now the German team also has the same problem. It loses its original domineering and has more delicate football.

But this is also a double-edged sword.

The Chinese team has already targeted the German team's two midfielders and is waiting for an opportunity. Wang Kong has a good overall view. He knows that Kroos's ball is not easy to grab.

Wang Kong was approaching Draxler until he reached a distance of about 10 meters.The reason why Draxler did not develop to Kroos' level is partly because Wolfsburg delayed him, and he might have gone to Arsenal.

On the other hand, what is more important is that his own style of play is soft and easily injured. Draxler took a look at Wang Kong before taking the ball. He did not regard Wang Kong as a threat, so when he took the ball, he pulled the ball with his feet and prepared to turn around smartly.

But at this moment, Draxler was kicked firmly, and before he could react, the ball was lost.

The German players were protesting, but the referee signaled the game to continue. On the one hand, Draxler was really hurt, and on the other hand, he was pretending, because if a player is injured on the field, in principle, the ball needs to be kicked out of bounds.

At this time, Draxler was like a child who had made a mistake. He wanted to pretend to be a little bit, so that he could feel better.

But the Chinese team ignored him at all.

Lin Zhijian made an assault with the ball and lost the defensive midfielder barrier. The German team's defense was exposed in front of the Chinese team.

Li Qiao quickly cut in from the left to the right, forming an X-shaped cross-run with Lin Zhijian, and Rhodes, who was defending Li Qiao, chased after him. In fact, Rhodes had violated defensive discipline, but Li Qiao's movement made Rhodes not much room for thinking.

At the same time, Ding Mu ran to Li Qiao's position. In this way, Li Qiao attracted the entire defense line of the German team by himself, while Ding Mu ran out of space.

Lin Zhijian pushed the ball in front of the penalty area. The ball was given to Ding Mu. In order to pass it, Lin Zhijian increased his strength when passing the ball.

Neuer attacked, and Ding Mu accelerated, but speed is not Ding Mu's specialty. If Li Qiao was chasing the ball, it would be no problem, but Ding Mu was hanging.

In the end Ding Mu shoveled, and Neuer also shoveled.

The German goalkeeper deserved his reputation, Neuer still kicked the ball away first, Ding Mu was just a little bit, and Ding Mu hammered the ground hard, annoyed.

Then Ding Mu gave Lin Zhijian a thumbs up. The pass was excellent, and Ding Mu himself was to blame for not getting the ball.

*****
From a general point of view, this attack has been successful, but there is no goal in the end, but judging from Wang Kong's steal, Lin Zhijian's pass, Li Qiao's running position, and Ding Mu's final fight, this attack was completely successful.

Of course Loew also knew, so he was very dissatisfied with his midfield performance. Loew's character is still good. If it was Klinsmann back then, he would have smashed things.

Loew looked at the bench. Khedira was injured, and he didn't trust the others. It's a pity that Lahm is not there. Otherwise, if the captain is still there, the German team's defense will be rock-solid.

But Loew did not command the team too exaggeratedly. The world champion has his own background, which Loew has not forgotten.

He just waved his hand in a forward-pressing gesture.

The characteristic of the German team is still the wing. After Lahm retired, the teenager Hector took over and inherited the mantle of the German team's wing.

Hector's assists are very bold, and he often presses behind Chen Fei, parallel to the two central defenders of the Chinese team.

Stan had noticed Hector's position a long time ago. It was like a dagger on the Chinese team's defense line. He suppressed Chen Fei, which made the Chinese team very uncomfortable.

In fact, it is very simple to solve this problem in theory, just create an offside. If the four defenders of the Chinese team can skillfully create an offside trap, then Hector will have nothing to do. But the problem is that creating an offside is easier said than done.

For the time being, Stan still doesn't dare to do this, because several midfielders of the German team can pass the ball as accurately as a scalpel. For a team like the German team, anti-offside may not be difficult.

It was 30 minutes into the first half, and the Chinese fans were a little sluggish, no matter whether it was on or off the field, because the situation seemed that the Chinese team did not have much hope. Except for Lin Zhijian's counterattack, the Chinese team would not pass the ball more than 3 times in the frontcourt before losing the ball.

*****
In fact, if you watch too many football games, you will have an inexplicable sixth sense. Both Duan Xuan and Huang Jianxiang have watched a lot of games. They always feel that the Chinese team will lose the ball again. There is no reason, just a sixth sense.

The German team played backwards in the midfield, and now Draxler has learned how to play the ball immediately after receiving the ball in the midfield. He no longer sticks to the ball, and he himself is afraid of being kicked.

This time Draxler heard Wang Kong's footsteps and hurriedly returned the pass. The ball rolled to Hummels. Hummels passed under his crotch without stopping the ball and directly passed to Neuer behind him. Neuer made a long pass.

It seemed to be a careless pass, but it was very powerful and had a great parabola. The ball flew towards the Chinese team's half court, and bounced about 10 meters in front of the penalty area. After bouncing again, the Chinese players were dumbfounded.

Normally, when the ball hits the lawn, a large part of the force will be removed, but this ball is a bit strange.

Duan Xuan and Huang Jianxiang in the stands already sensed danger.

"The Chinese team is careful, this ball is a bit irregular," Duan Xuan shouted.

"Zhou Dun, watch Mu Le",
The ball flew into the penalty area after drawing a parabola again. Zhou Dun and Muller were stuck in their positions. Suddenly, the referee blew his whistle.

Offensive foul?

This was the first reaction of the Chinese fans, but then the referee gave Zhou Dun a yellow card, and then pulled his clothes, which meant that Zhou Dun had committed a foul.

Zhou Dun was full of grievances. He kept explaining that the pulling was mutual, and Muller also pulled himself. If there was a foul, both of them fouled.

The bench of the Chinese team is also protesting, but it is impossible to change the penalty. This penalty is taken by Muller himself.

The referee signaled that the players on both sides backed away and exited the penalty area.

The atmosphere at the scene was very tense, and Qi Rate kept moving on the goal line, trying to interfere with Muller. If the goal is scored again, the hope of the Chinese team is really slim.

Run up, shoot, the ball goes in! ! !
But when Müller was running to celebrate, the referee blew his whistle again, and he signaled for a heavy penalty because a player from the German team stepped into the penalty area early.

Muller held his head, he was a little helpless, for the penalty kicker, taking two penalty kicks is a very bad omen.

There was no way, Muller set up the ball again at the penalty spot. In order to interfere with Muller to the maximum extent, Zhou Dun and Li Qiao were still complaining to the referee that Muller's ball was not set up properly.

After a delay of about 10 seconds, Muller heard the referee whistle and he could take the penalty, but at this time Muller's mentality changed, and the advantage turned to the Chinese team.

Under tremendous pressure, Muller's second penalty kick flew away, and the Chinese players raised their arms and shouted, as if they had scored a goal.

The players of the German team also rushed over to hug Muller and comfort him. Everyone understood the huge pressure Muller faced when he stood on the penalty spot for the second time.

At the moment when Muller kicked the penalty kick, Huang Jianxiang was like crazy, "God is blessing the Chinese team. I thought we would lose the ball and we would be out, but the great God doesn't seem to want the plot to become so simple."

Duan Xuan also came to join in the fun: "Chinese team, come on."
