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 breasts.
Diego Costa excitedly locked Saul's neck with his elbow.
Mignano exclaimed: "Boss, how could Li return to defense 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 on the bed in the resident bedroom, lying on his stomach watching the live broadcast of the game. He looked very anxious and said 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. The 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 and receiving spacing to counter intercept.
"The four of Kroos, Khedira, Boateng and Hummels keep football running very easily."
"Not to mention 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 center."
"From our perspective, the German team is like a big net that is about to cover Spain's backcourt!"
Atlantic Stadium.
Fans from both sides spared no effort in shouting wildly.
Although no goal has been scored, the scene is extremely enjoyable to watch.
Li Kang did not participate in the press.
Instead, he chose to stand parallel to Busquets, waiting for the opponent's violent offensive in the thirty-meter area.
From God's perspective.
He really couldn't guess who was responsible for increasing the overall tempo of the German team.
Cross?
Boateng?
Hummels?
These three guys all have terrifying ball-playing abilities and determine the different offensive directions of the German team.
All we can do is continue to wait.
Waiting for Cork to make a contribution makes Cross feel sick.
The Spanish team's defensive answer will become one of two options.
Are there any Atletico Madrid players who can't talk trash and make small moves?
some.
Young Cork has not yet fully learned the essence of Big Brother.
He was following Cross and talking "trash" indifferently.
The upper limit is what. Your shoes are really ugly and your hair wax smells really bad.
finally.
When Cross received the ball with his back in the 40-meter area.
Slowly raising your finger is a signal to speed up the attack!
The reverse forward rocking motion of the immortal guiding the way?
Emergency moment.
The Atletico Madrid youngster still showed a flash of inspiration.
Cork was like a little wild boar, arching hard into the bottom of the German core, trying to steal the football!
With the fierce momentum, the effect of muscle gain is infinitely magnified.
Snapped!
The football rolled out of bounds.
Cross sat down on the turf and raised his hands helplessly.
Beep!
The referee, Kaushoy, blew the whistle decisively and stepped forward quickly to give a gentle verbal warning to Cork.
"This game is tough."
"The only player who can equal the Spanish team in terms of ball possession data is their student: Loew's German team."
There was no chaos or dispute on the green field.
Cross is not only technically superb, but also as strong as an ox.
He sat on the turf and held out his hand to Cork unhappily.
The Atletico Madrid youngster was so embarrassed that he pulled him up.
This small clip caused bursts of applause from the neutral fans in the nearby stands.
Courtside.
Mignano said anxiously: "Boss, this is different from the pre-game deployment. Our current situation is very dangerous and very passive!"
Bosque had a kind smile on his face: "Where is the danger? The forward-less formation does not have the upper hand just by occupying the ball. Just watch, it will be difficult for the German team to advance into our dangerous area."
"Don't worry, football is not a race."
The other side.
Loew stood in the command area and couldn't help scratching his eyes.
His eyes were fixed on the Spanish team's midfield.
The coaching staff behind him was busy.
Assistant coach Sorge is making crazy deductions: If the ball is lost in different areas of the Spanish half, what kind of responses should be made? If the ball is lost, which method should be used to restrict Li?
This is a German team armed to the teeth.
