Chapter 962: Audio-Technica

When the referee Weber from the United Kingdom blew the whistle at the end of the game, all German fans in the Warsaw National Stadium, which can accommodate a total of 58,000 people, stood up from their seats in unison. Shout.
On the red scoreboard of the Warsaw National Stadium shows the final score of the two teams in this game.
The number below the Czech team name on the left is 0, and the number below the German team on the right is 3, which means that the German team finally scored 3: 0 in this 90-minute game. After defeating the Czech team, they successfully stood out from the quarter-finals and entered the semifinals of the European Cup.
Before the game, everyone predicted that the German team would win this game, but in the course of the game, the Czech team caused a lot of trouble for the German team, especially this tenacious team. From the beginning, a posture of guarding against death was put on, and even tightened to within 20 meters for a long time.
In other words, the defense of the Czech team started from the frontier of the big penalty area, which made their defense density in front of the goal very large. As soon as the German team's ball entered this area, it was like a bull into the sea, silent.
If they think that the German team can easily win before the game, after watching the first half, or even after the first 15 minutes of the second half, they will not think that the German team can easily win, even they will think that the German team ’s offense Will be completely contained by the Czech team, the game may enter overtime, or even a penalty shootout.
But when everyone felt that the German team might be under attack, Yang Cheng's substitution completely changed the situation of the game. He used Tony? Kroos replaced Hedira, allowing Tony Kroos to control the team's rhythm and sort out the midfield, completely liberating Schweinsteiger and Ozil.
This substitution adjustment has obviously changed the situation of the German team, especially the trend of chasing the Czech team since the start of the game, began to slow down the rhythm, and began to pursue a stable and orderly performance. Even the German team will take the initiative to withdraw the defense line, release the Czech team, and then fight back.
After substitutions, the German team's attack began to show its power. The midfielder shifts the transition, the wing advances the breakthrough, and the frontcourt midfielder strategy should cooperate. The whole offensive began to appear more three-dimensional cooperation routines, full bloom, far more effective than the previous monotonous broken intensive defense, especially in pulling and looking Loopholes.
after that. The German team rang several offenses , first with Thomas Muller on the left and Ram, and Thomas Muller assisted Ram with a long-range shot on the left and opened the record for the first time.
After, Desler and Ozil on the right side carried out infiltration advancement. The two teamed up in a continuous two-on-one cooperation at the front of the penalty area to assist Klose for the next team of the German team and completely control the game.
Finally, Goetze came off the bench and was fouled with a ball. Deisler hit a free kick. He scored the third goal for the German team, which was also the last goal of the whole game, which laid the foundation for another victory of the German team.
Same as the last two games. The German team ’s defense has performed well as usual in this game. The combination of Ram, Kyle, Hummels and Jerome Boateng has shown enough power, and this set of partners has become more and more tacit. To make the defense firm.
Schweinsteiger and Hedira were in front to protect the German team ’s defenses from direct exposure to the opponent ’s artillery, and several counterattacks did not threaten, even if they were replaced by Tony Clos, the German team. 'S defense line is still performing well.
But there is another important reason is that the Czech team started too aggressively and they knew that their strength was not good. Unable to maintain a level match with the German team, so they used a positive round of opening to defeat the German team's sharpness, which directly created the entire first half of the German team's offense has never been able to play .
In this way, the Czech team in the second half, especially in the last half hour. It also completely exposed the problem of physical overdraft. They obviously could not keep up with the rhythm and pace of the German team, which directly led to the collapse of the Czech team at the last moment.
Another important thing to watch out for is that their offense line is too singular, and they are always dominated by long midfielders. This has led Hummells to perform very eye-catching again, but precisely because he took on the opponent's main attack , Causing him to get a yellow card again in the game.
According to the Europa yellow card suspension rules, after the quarterfinals are over, all accumulated single yellow cards will be automatically cleared and will not be brought to the semi-finals. It is automatically suspended, that is to say, Hummells will be suspended in the semifinals.
This also became a knot in Yang Cheng's heart.
Hummells performed so well. He showed a world-class level in three consecutive games, made a great contribution to the German defense line, and the entire rear defense line was worn in place. Now the substitutions are adjusted. No matter whether it is Upper Muttersack or Upper Bad Steuber, there are certain hidden dangers.
And from the situation of always scoring without scoring in the first half, the German team also exposed a serious problem, that is, offensive and defensive conversion and rhythm out of control.
Speaking of which, we have to mention Schweinsteiger. The piggy's strength is actually not strong in his advantage, but strong in his average. He can play any position in the midfield, left middle right, He can play in any position in the midfield, and can play a role. He plays well, and there is almost nothing he can't do.
But the problem is exactly the same. When it comes to the overall situation and the ability to control the game rhythm, he is not as good as Xavi Alonso and Pirlo. When it comes to the fineness of the pass, he is not as good as Xavi and Busquets. Waiting for others, but he has the kind of breakthrough ability, defensive ability and excellent physical and running ability that these players do not have.
This type of midfielder is actually very interesting. If he plays well, he can play well in any position, but once he encounters a problem and needs a certain level of superb ability, he may not be able to. Too.
Playing Czech actually revealed his control of the game situation, the gap in the control of the game rhythm, at least throughout the first half, the German team's rhythm was obviously out of control, it seems that it was pressing the Czech fat beat However, in fact, the Czechoslovakia is getting tighter and tighter. Pressing their defense stronger and stronger.
When encountering this type of dead-end team, experienced and capable organizers will adjust the rhythm changes according to the situation on the court, through left and right points, and through appropriate retraction. By deliberately slowing down the rhythm and other ways to disturb the Czech team's defensive pace, the opponent's defense has lost its predictability.
Everyone knows that once the defense loses its predictability, it is too slow to wait for the opponent to attack at the moment of attack!
But throughout the first half, Schweinsteiger was obviously caught in the team's overall rhythm, not controlling the team's rhythm!
This situation didn't improve until Tony Kroes played. When the German team deliberately slowed down the rhythm and suddenly increased the speed of the ball and the control of the scene has been greatly improved, his overall view, scheduling ability and ability to allocate the ball have been released, especially in the offensive and defensive conversion And the ability to quickly and accurately transfer the ball to the frontcourt completely filled a big gap in the German midfield.
So it can be seen that after Tony Kroes came on in the second half, the entire offensive situation of the German team changed.
In this way, Tony? Clos also solved a big bottleneck of the German team, but also brought trouble to Yang Cheng.

"Rafa. Do you feel that things in this world are so nonsense?"
Yang Cheng watched the players on the court happily celebrating. He himself stood aside, patting his head, looking like he had a headache or annoyance. At least from his face, he couldn't see the joy of winning the Czech team.
Frankly speaking, he took it for granted in this game, and it was a strange thing not to take it, but the whole process of the game made him gain but also worried. Among them, he now began to feel the most annoying problem is the configuration of the midfield.
After defeating the Czech Republic and entering the semi-finals, the German team will encounter the winners of Italy and England, regardless of which team, the strength is not the Czech team can compete, and they must also see this How can the Czech team defend the German offense in a game?
Tactics as long as the football field is reflected. In the eyes of professionals, there can be no secret!
Benitez smiled bitterly after listening to Yang Cheng ’s complaint, and he also felt that it was difficult to handle, because both Tony Kroes and Schweinsteiger belonged to the same kind of headache. Players, or all belong to the kind of feeling that is a bit high but not low.
"If you want to completely eradicate the problems of midfield operation and offensive and defensive conversion, Schweinsteiger and Tony Clos will start together, and the effect is the best. The two are composed of dual cores like Harvey and Iniesta of Barcelona. Can play a stronger effect, but the defense of the midfield is a problem. "
After listening, Yang Cheng nodded and said: "So, behind them, a defender, Sven? Bender is the most suitable, but the midfield accounted for three, a forward in front, a Thomas? Mueller, left A place! "
Must have Thomas Mueller, because the latter's running position in the frontcourt is very active, covering a very large area, but more importantly, he reflects the wisdom and sense of cooperation when playing football.
When Klose retreated or shifted laterally, Thomas Mueller was always the first to react, and actively accelerated to insert the gap that Klose pulled out, hitting his opponent by surprise, and his calmness, and The solid basic skills have made him a very high shooting rate in the penalty area.
"Don't you always want to try the front triangle combination of Tony Klos, Thomas Mueller and Ozil? Now add Schweinsteiger, Tony Klos and Sven? Germany's midfielder Iron Triangle, I think you can give it a try! "Benitez said with a smile.
Yang Cheng has tried a style of play in training before, the position is similar to 4321, but it is an irregular position, but he has always felt that Tony Cross is not ready, and the performance of other players is also He was pretty good, so he was temporarily depressed, and now Benitez said so, he was a little bit emotional.
"Your kid can speak lightly, but the next European Cup semi-final!" But soon, Yang Cheng began to hesitate again.
In fact, the team played Portugal in the second game, Yang Cheng has already begun to change, but later Klose came back, he returned to the original 4231 tactics, and then won France 4: 0. The team performed so well, and there was no reason to play the Czech team again, but I didn't expect the Czech team to contain it so much in the first half.
"Anyway, I'm a part-time job anyway!" Benitez walked back smilingly. Malaysian Swordsman sat down on the coach's bench and looked like he had nothing to do with him.
Yang Cheng saw the fat man's appearance and felt funny in his heart, but he was clear in his heart that the problem of the German team's midfield has been exposed. The opponent will know that whether it is Italy or England. He will definitely grasp this point and strike, unless he can correct this problem, otherwise ...
Yang Cheng, the opponent of the semifinals, is more optimistic about Italy, because Prandelli's team has shown excellent progress and development momentum in the European Cup, and this team has also left a very impressive impression. At this point, England is not as good as them.
And Montolivo, Marchisio, De Rossi and Pirlo. The set of diamond-shaped midfielders that Prandelli created has become smoother and smoother in the European Cup, and it has become more and more stateful. It also shows the very rare offensive scene in Italy in recent years. And it is this set of midfielders in Italy that created this situation.
If the German team ca n’t adjust their midfield configuration, then when facing Italy, their midfield will definitely blow Germany completely, because Yang Cheng has no doubt that this is a game where the midfield decides the victory or defeat .
So for Yang Cheng, seeking change is the only way out of defeating Italy. How can it be changed, to what extent, is this the biggest test. It is also the key to measuring whether he can lead the team to beat Italy.
…………
…………
These two days back to Gdansk, Yang Cheng has been thinking about a question, should Tony?
The result of the game between England and Italy came out, Italy defeated England 2-0, which made Italy the other team that did not lose to Germany. It was regarded as the most promising team to challenge Spain. And this game also made Yang Cheng very clearly recognized the excellence of Italy.
The strength of this team is in the middle of the midfield, so although it is a diamond midfielder, the four players in Prandelli ’s midfield are all passers with good skills, but Germany has only Schwei in this position. Due to Steiger and Ozil, this is undoubtedly at a certain disadvantage, and someone needs to stand up and share their responsibilities.
However, if Tony Cross is on board, the assignment of tasks between him and Schweinsteiger and Ozil must be done well, otherwise, it will only cause the team into chaos and disorder, and The defense of Pirlo and De Rossi must pay attention, this is also a problem.
"How? Was it tricky?" Benitez walked to Yang Cheng's desk and watched with interest the tactical drafts he drew on the desktop, which contained Italy's starting lineup and player positions.
These were collected before the think tank. After Italy defeated England, they were transferred to Yang Cheng. The latter analyzed the coaching team all day today, combining the Italy and England games they watched together. , Studying the lineup and tactics against Italy.
But in the final analysis, the question that plagues the German team is always the same, how to configure the midfield.
There are still three days to prepare, but Yang Cheng hopes to be able to set the tactics as soon as possible, and then he will try his best to practice this set of tactics in the next three days.
"Italian play is really interesting. Their previous tactics were largely through Pirlo and De Rossi, who launched a long pass and played a diagonal attack in the frontcourt, but after using the diamond midfield, Prandelli It seems conscious to want to pursue high-level coordination penetration, but also more and more skilled. "Benitez analyzed the opponent's offense, it is a set.
"This is a natural pursuit of San. The routine is simple and easy to be frozen by opponents. So Italy ’s long and short pass cooperation is complementary to a certain extent. England died at this point. They frozen the Italians. The cooperation in the frontcourt penetrated and strangled Montolivo, but Rooney's defense against Pirlo was poor. "
"Also, the English attacking and defending against Italy on two sides were not in place. Pirlo had many long passes to find Cassano and Balotelli in the first half, but they did not know how to reflect. In the second half, he found his position twice again, directly tearing open the English defense, once Balotelli scored a goal, Cassano pulled out of the gap, and De Rossi scored the goal afterwards. "
"These two offenses seem simple, but they are all manifestations of Italy's offensive ability and are not so easy to defend!"
It's not just Yang Cheng who thinks so, even Benitez, who claims to be a targeted tactic world-class, feels awkward.
"You're right, unless we can suppress Italy's midfielders in an all-round way, it is difficult to contain their attacks, but if we want to limit their midfielders, we have to invest more troops and pay more. The price, what will our offense do then? "
On the football field, the advantages are largely reflected by the number of people. Without investing enough troops, it is difficult to establish a sufficient advantage, but there are so many starting lineups in a game, and more investment here It means that there is less force invested in other areas. This is a head coach's choice.
After listening, Yang Cheng smiled slightly, rolled out a tactical draft of the German team, and then focused on the name of a person. (To be continued)
