Chapter 968: Reach the final

Someone once asked Yang Cheng, what kind of off-ball running is really good?
The answer given by Yang Cheng is surprisingly simple, and the opponent who runs out of space is the best!
There is no doubt that ball-free running is becoming more and more important in modern football tactics. Even now it has become a subject that all coaches attach great importance to. Even countless people will specifically study the opponent's ball-free running. Players run without the ball. Any team wants to have as many masters as possible without the ball.
Because running without the ball can greatly enrich a team's offensive routines and defensive tactics.
Many people commented on Inzaghi, thinking that he can always appear in a key position at a critical moment, thinking that this is his sensitive sense of smell, which is also part of running without the ball, because he knows where to go to pick up The ball can be out of the control of the defensive player, and as long as it is out of the control of the defensive player, then he can shoot at will.
The German team's off-ball running has always been excellent. This team has never lacked excellent off-ball running cooperation, but this time, they once again staged an exquisite off-ball running cooperation routine.
When Badstüber passed the ball with his precise long-range missile and sent it to the frontcourt, Klose stood between Barzalli and Bonucci, the one he passed in Badstüber Immediately afterwards, the counter-offside was successful and the ball was grabbed before Balzali.
Too far away from the goal, it also consumes a lot of energy. Klose knew that if he chose to take the ball, he might not have the opportunity to enter the penalty area and face the goal directly to form a single pole, so he chose to lean towards the right side of the goal to take the ball. Both Barzali and Bonucci who caught up later pulled to the right.
But at this time, another striker of the German team, Thomas? Mueller quickly plugged in from behind. Instead of approaching Klose, he chose to kill the goal quickly.
In a counterattack at a critical moment. Defensive attention must be focused on the ball-holder, so Klose used his own dribble to disturb the attention of the Italian defensive players, and then in the front corner of the penalty area. He chose to pass the ball laterally to Thomas Muller who had just reached the top of the arc at the front of the penalty area.
At this time, there was n’t even a defensive player around the latter, and Thomas Mueller did n’t waste the opportunity created by Klosezing ’s hard work. After he took the ball and entered the penalty area, he faced a desperate attack. Buffon volleyed the ball to the right of the goal calmly and sent the ball precisely into the Italian goal!
at this moment. All German fans stood up in unison, and even Yang Cheng on the sidelines were excited to raise their hands and make a fist, celebrating the team's second goal in excitement.
"2: 0! Thomas Mueller scored twice to help the German team score the second goal !!!"
On the big screen of the stadium, he repeatedly replayed Klose's free time for Thomas Muller, and successfully sent the ball out under the impact of Balzali and Bonucci.
"This is a very beautiful team with a goal. Bad Steuble's backcourt long pass launched a counterattack, Klose cleverly used the anti-offside, dribbling the ball attracted the attention of multiple defensive players. For Thomas ? Mueller's back inserted into the manufacturing space, and then passed the ball to the undefended Thomas? Mueller. "
Live TV shots were directed at Klose and Thomas Mueller, who were hugging and celebrating on the sidelines. The two hugged tightly together to celebrate, and the latter apparently said something next to Klose's ear.
"Thomas Mueller's goal must be thanks to Klose, at least half of the credit for this goal is due to Klose, because the latter's pull is too smart, too clever, he directly Italy ’s main defensive attention has been drawn to himself, and only then has Thomas Mueller plugged in. "
"It is now the 68th minute of the second half, two goals behind. This game can even be said that there is not much suspense. Now the only thing we can look forward to is whether Prandelli still has a substitution strategy, otherwise, The German team may chase after the victory and continue to chase Italy! "
Was talking, and it was not long after the kick-off. Prandelli made a substitution and replaced Balotelli with Di Natale. The former is quite old and experienced. Perhaps the tactical effect is not as good as Balotelli, but the shooting efficiency is worse than Balotelli is even better.
And the most important point is that Balotelli no longer has much physical energy. From the moment he was in a disadvantageous position to Bad Steuber, the area of ​​activity gradually narrowed, it can be seen that his physical strength has been exhausted and he stays on the court. The effect is not obvious, instead of leaving a waste of opportunity, it is better to replace it and use a more efficient Di Natale to fight for a while.
Yang Cheng did not make substitutions, continued to maintain the team's 451 tactics, launched a round of fierce attack on Italy, taking advantage of the momentum of the goal to push Italy back, forcing Prandelli to make a second change Man, replaced Montolivo with Mota.
In this way, Yang Cheng made the first substitution for the whole game. He replaced Gezi with Ozil who was obviously unable to perform. He made it clear that he wanted to use Geze's assault ability and the bench after the game. Abundant physical fitness further impacted the Italian defenses.
…………

The time entered 70 minutes, and the problem of insufficiency began to appear in Italy.
Pirlo, Marchisio and other players all appeared to be unable to run. Prandelli had no choice but to signal the team to start retreating, letting the German team control the scene, he took the typical Italian style. Contract defense.
Germany with two goals in hand, plus now is a key game to decide the outcome, Yang Cheng naturally need not continue to die with Italy, he is happy to leave some energy to consume with Italy.
"Italy is obviously overstretched!" The commentator on the scene sighed.
"This is a very interesting thing, because before the European Cup, Yang Cheng decided to lead a team to Tignes, France for physical reserve training. At that time, this matter caused a great uproar in the world, and many people questioned Yang Cheng, I think he is a layman preparing for the national team competition and should not make such a decision at all. "
"However, now that the European Cup has played so many games, we can all see that the opponents have fallen in front of the German team, and this team has performed better and better. The state is getting better and better, and the physical fitness is also getting better. The more abundant it is, the physical advantage has become the most powerful weapon for the German team to destroy its opponents. "
"I believe that at this time, no one will ever doubt Yang Cheng's decision to do the training before the competition!"
When the live commentator was talking. Obviously you can hear that many fans of the German team in the stands have begun to wait for the celebration, because the situation on the scene has completely turned to the German team. The German team exerts pressure on Italy through ball control and pulling.
Prandelli ’s team is obviously unable to keep up. They have one day less rest than the German team. Secondly, they have no physical advantage, and they struggled so fiercely in the first half. . Naturally, I dare not press it out again, otherwise I might lose even worse.
"The reporter of the German Picture News once reported that I heard that Yang Cheng arranges players to perform high-intensity training for up to 30 minutes every day to pull up the physical fitness. For better recovery, they will let the players fill the ice every day. Activities in the water pool. "
"We have reason to believe that in this European Cup, the German team's abundant physical capacity is absolutely impressive. I don't know how many national teams will follow the German team's preparation method!" At that time, the on-site commentator laughed, he was clear. With Yang Cheng's influence and status today, his every move will cause countless people to follow suit.
"But it seems that we also need to remind those teams that want to emulate. The training of the German team is the result of rigorous calculation and experimentation of high technology. If you do n’t understand the tricks, you may be counterproductive and cause injury to the player. It ’s not worth the loss, after all, the athlete ’s body is very sensitive. "
Yang Cheng quickly made a second substitution, this time he replaced Schweinsteiger with Hedira, obviously to give the piglet time and opportunity to rest. Let him prepare for the next final.
Because everyone can see, Italy has obviously lost the confidence and fighting spirit of the final counterattack. Their physical fitness is not good, tactics have been suppressed, and they have been fully passive. The German team has obvious advantages. Naturally, it cannot be reversed by Italy.
The third substitution, Yang Cheng replaced Klose with Gomez.
The German veteran failed to score a goal in this game, nor did he get a very good absolute chance, but his contribution to this team is real. At least two goals of the team have his credit. Inside, both of Thomas Muller's goals came from Klose's assists. From this point, Klose's contribution to the team's offense can be seen.
So, when Klose was off the court, almost all German fans on the scene applauded the veteran.
In addition to the injured first game and the absence of the second game, Klose's performance in other games is very good, a good interpretation of the role of an all-round single forward, his contribution to this German team is also very Big, at least won the absolute trust of Yang Cheng, so he came back from injury, Gomez can only sit on the bench sadly.

Beep ~ beep ~ beep ~ ~ ~
"With the whistle of the referee, this European Cup semi-final is officially over !!"
At the moment the whistle sounded, the live commentator announced the result loudly, and in the Donetsk Donbass Arena, everyone from the German team rushed into the stadium and celebrated their killing again. Into the final of the European Cup.
In the past three major competitions, they have reached the final three times in a row, but it is interesting that their opponents in the three consecutive European Cup finals are Spain, and the previous two games lost a 0: 1, and In the first game of the group in this European Cup, the German team once again lost to Spain 0: 1, which has to be said to be a big anecdote in the history of football.
"Let's congratulate the German team, they finally reached the final of the European Cup again, this is the reward they deserve!"
"Yang Cheng ’s team has performed better in this European Cup. This team is improving in almost every game. Every game has an outstanding performance, let us have There are enough reasons to re-confidence in this team, I believe they will be able to bring enough threats and challenges to Spain in the final! "
"This semifinal was fierce and there were a lot of exciting scenes, but more is the tactical confrontation and planning of the two teams' coaches, and the player's execution on the court. This is a high High-quality games, although sometimes we seem to be boring, but the whole game is in crisis. "
"If you want to say that the German team won Italy in this match. If you win, then I think it should be won at their speed, especially at the side, the speed on the Ram side, and there is This team has an excellent run without the ball. "
"The German team defeated Italy, and this proves once again. A team that relies too much on a core player has begun to be out of touch with the current football environment. A team similar to Germany and Spain with multi-organization core tactics will It will gradually appear on the stage of world competitions. At least from the past three major competitions, it is these two teams that killed to the finals! "
"We should not blame Prandelli for this defeat. At least in my opinion, he has played this Italian player to the extreme, but they have consumed too much in the league. The rest time is more than the German team. Short, causing them to have physical problems, coupled with the German team ’s intention to speed up. It made Italy a bit unable to keep up with the whole game. "
"Prandelli is a head coach worthy of admiration. I believe that after the game tonight, he will win the respect of everyone, especially the more aggressive and tactical style he admires, to all of us. Demonstrated an alternative style of Italian football, which won the appreciation of experts and fans. "
"As for Yang Cheng, we have nothing to say. We can lead the German team that was not optimistic before the game. When the start was defeated by Spain, we just beat it to the final. With this point, Yang Cheng has already lived up to his reputation. Yes, but I believe that all fans, including me, hope he can play against Spain in the finals. It will bring us more surprises again. "
While the on-site commentator was talking, Yang Cheng walked into the stadium with a smile under the follow-up shooting of live TV footage. He kept on high-fiving with the players of the German team to celebrate, but he never stopped his pace.
Saw that he walked all the way from the side of the stadium to near the middle circle, and Pirlo was standing here, a little crazy, as if he was reluctant to leave this stage, as if hoping to stay longer.
This is his last European Cup, but unfortunately, he failed to laugh to the end in this European Cup.
If you use Chinese words, things are not satisfactory in the world !
"You have done your best, Andrea!" Yang Cheng walked over to him and put it on his shoulder.
Today, Pirlo is no longer the young and handsome double ten when he just went to Inter Milan. Now that he has entered the twilight years of his career, it is already certain that he will no longer have the opportunity to appear in the European Cup. Even the international stage like the World Cup.
Because of this, he is the team's best player from the beginning to the end of the entire European Cup, but unfortunately, sometimes the pay may not necessarily be paid back.
"I remember you said, how can the world be as good as you want, but be worthy of your heart!" Pirlo's translation of this Chinese word was awkward, and he couldn't help but laugh, but the meaning was translated. Now, "I didn't understand when I was young, but now I want to come, I understand!"
Yang Cheng nodded and smiled, "It means you are mature, and it means you have done it!"
Pirlo looked at Yang Cheng, and his eyes were full of respect, because then he was the one who directed Pirlo's progress and development, making Pirlo the world's top superstar. This is the most respected person in his life. Lose to him, Pir Luo has nothing to say.
"Congratulations, Boss!" Pirlo said nothing, stepped forward, spread his arms, and hugged Yang Cheng tightly.
This may be his last time as an opponent, embracing his most respected head coach. After tonight, he may have no chance, so this hug he held tightly for a long time.
Yang Cheng also hugged him and did n’t know what to say. In the end, he just said,
No matter what, I am proud of you. You are one of the best and best players in the world. The same is true of the European Cup! "
It is possible to have such outstanding performance at such an advanced age. There are not many players like football in today's world. Pirlo is one, and Klose is also. Such players are often prone to encounter the inhuman criticism of some young fans. Hope They can cross the green field like they were when they were young, but they always take a hard work and explain their professionalism and dignity. They are the objects that all players and fans deserve.
Gave away Pirlo, Yang Cheng thought of Barak.
This former disciple has retired from the Bundesliga. After the end of this European Cup, he will also retire from the national team and officially withdraw from football. While Yang Cheng promised him before, he must bring it to his career. A champion, taste his wish and pursuit.
In the European Cup final, he once again encountered Spain. Yang Chengli knows that this game will be very very difficult. Because Bosco has suffered a loss, he will definitely learn to be good. He will no longer give the German team the same opportunity as the European Cup first game. He will find ways to limit the German team's performance.
This game will become very very difficult. Even, this game will be the most difficult game since Yang Cheng coached the German team, but he has not retreated.
The World Cup final lost to Spain, the European Cup lost to Spain in the first game, and lost to the same team twice in a row. This is impossible for Yang Cheng to accept. He must fight back, must resist, and maintain his pride. And dignity!
For the German team, this is not only a European Cup final, not only related to a European Cup champion, but also a battle of shame! (To be continued)
