Among all the players Yunsheng has led, Hildebrand is the player who has been with Yunsheng the longest.
From Cottbus to Monaco, Hildebrand was Yunsheng's first goalkeeper. During Monaco's five-time crown-winning season, Hildebrand was once called the best goalkeeper in the world.
However, after Yunsheng left Monaco, Monaco began to decline. Dong Fangzhuo, Wang Chuhe, Diego Costa and other stars have left the team, greatly reducing Monaco's competitiveness. Despite this, Hildebrand's performance is still top-notch, because the team's competitiveness is reduced and the defensive pressure is greater, Hildebrand has more opportunities to perform.
However, after the highs, there must be lows. At the end of last season, Monaco was eventually relegated. Hildebrand's contract also expired, so he returned to Germany and signed a three-year contract with Schalke 04.
At the national team level, Hildebrand was the number one goalkeeper of the German team in the 2010 World Cup. He performed bravely in that cup and helped the German team achieve third place. However, due to Monaco's sluggish performance this season, he fell back to the third goalkeeper position, behind Enke and Neuer.
Yun Sheng and Hildebrand were filled with emotion when they met again.
As time passes, the two people's situations are different.
Hildebrand looked at his former mentor: "Boss, I haven't congratulated you in person for winning the Four Crowns."
Yun Sheng smiled bitterly: "If Juventus didn't have Buffon, I would definitely poach you and let's win another Champions League trophy together."
Hildebrand said happily: "Boss, I am very satisfied and satisfied with the experience of winning five crowns in Monaco. Being able to win all this makes my life complete. Since the summer of 2010, I have been I am fully enjoying the fun of football and don’t expect any championships. This time I chose to return to the Bundesliga to join Schalke 04 so that I can go home and be with my family.”
Yun Sheng nodded: "Originally, I should have blessed you with winning some national team honors, but forget it this time. You didn't start anyway, and I have nothing to be embarrassed about when I beat the German team."
"Haha, boss, this German team is stronger than you think."
"I know, but this Italian team is stronger than you think."
"Then I will wait for the result on the bench. If Italy wins, I will congratulate the boss after the game; if Italy loses, I will comfort the boss after the game."
"Haha, then I suggest you think of your congratulations in advance."
The players on the court are warming up, and the live broadcast room is also very lively.
In the live broadcast room in Italy, Di Livio was introducing the starting lineups of both sides.
"The German team's formation today is 4-2-3-1: goalkeeper Enke, defenders from left to right are Lahm, Metzelder, Hummels and Boateng, and the two defensive midfielders are Khedira and Bastian Schweinsteiger, the three attacking midfielders from left to right are Podolski, Ozil and Kroos, and the center position is Gomez. On the bench are Neuer, Hildebrand, Mertesacker, Badstuber, Schmelzer, Gundogan, Gotze, Schürrle, Miroslav Klose, Royce Thomas Muller and many other powerful stars."
"The Italian team's formation today is also 4-3-2-1: goalkeeper Buffon, defenders from left to right are Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli and Abate, and the three midfielders from left to right are Pirlo, De Rossi and Marchisio, the two shadow forwards are Montolivo and Del Piero, and the center Balotelli. On the bench are Di Natale, Cassano and other offensive and defensive players. Good hands."
"All the main players of the German team are here. They are ready to go and deal with Italy with all their strength today. But today Italy also welcomed back their captain Piero. Today Piero formed a striker with Balotelli and Montolivo. For the Trident, Balotelli and Montolivo have been in excellent form recently, and this combination will definitely become a powerful weapon for Italy to destroy the city."
However, Vieri frowned: "I feel very sorry that Cassano was on the bench in this game. At the beginning of the group stage, Del Piero, Cassano and Balotelli were the Italian Trident, when Del Piero was injured, Cassano did not take up the banner of destroying the city. So far, Cassano has only scored one goal and his performance is mediocre. According to the situation of this game Look, Cassano has been abandoned by Yunsheng in all likelihood, and the Cottbus master and apprentice who once cooperated with each other tacitly have now parted ways, which is sad."
At this time, in another live broadcast room, several commentators from Huaguo Sports 5 were also talking about this topic.
"Isn't it a waste to put Cassano on the bench? Is there any discord between him and Yun Sheng?" Li Feixiang looked at the substitute lists of both sides and then looked at Li Tie, "When they were in Cote Didn't we have a good relationship with Booth? It stands to reason that Yun Sheng should trust Cassano more."
Li Tie shook his head: "There will never be any disharmony between the two of them. Coach Yun Sheng is very good at dealing with talented stars. Those geniuses with distinctive personalities and surly behavior can always be dealt with and obeyed under Yun Sheng. Now that Cassano is waiting for an opportunity on the bench, it is definitely Yunsheng's tactical arrangement."
At this time, players from both sides have finished their warm-up and are receiving instructions in the locker room.
German team coach Loew seriously warned the players: "We require stability in this game, don't press easily, and we must try our best to ensure efficiency."
In the past few games, the German team recorded three 2-1 scores in the group stage, winning very steadily. In the quarter-finals, they defeated Greece 4-2, which was considered the biggest victory.
Generally speaking, the German team's tactical play is somewhat similar to that of the Italian team. After solid defense, they use the personal skills and concise passing of the midfielders and frontcourt players to create scoring opportunities.
At this time, in the Italian team's locker room, Yun Sheng had just finished explaining to the players.
"There are no special instructions for this game. Everyone is clear about my tactical arrangements. Just follow them in training. Especially in the offense in the midfield and frontcourt, you should use Del Piero as the core of the offense. Pass or advance. Leave it all to Piero. Pirlo, you must cooperate well with Piero and organize well."
The game is about to start and the players run onto the court.
Yun Sheng stopped Cassano and told him alone: "Antonio, I put you on the bench, which is indeed a bit wronged to you. But your physical condition is average. I hope that after Del Piero leaves the field in the second half, the team can still We can have a core offensive player on the front line!”
"Pierro was Italy's most important player in the first half. In the second half, I hope you can become Italy's most important star!"
