Is 1003 seen through?

The star-studded Maracanã Stadium.

After the start of the game, the two teams did not go all out, but tried to go their own way.

The pace of the game was not fast.

This is not surprising.

There's a saying that the final is nameless, and in an important tournament like the World Cup final, you can never expect the game to start with a spark.

In most cases, most of the final, it is unlikely to be very intense and exciting.

This is the inevitable consequence of utilitarian football.

Now it is the German team that has the ball.

Instead of rushing the ball up front, they poured their feet at the back in order to attract England players to press and tear apart the opposition's formation.

England weren't fooled, though.

Except for Vardy and Rooney, the two strikers who were pressing hard, the other players stood firmly in their positions, did not blindly press up, kept a good distance from each other, and did not give the German team a chance.

After all, England's players have also seen how Germany swept Brazil 7-1.

Against such a team, it is impossible to be too cautious.

"This guy..."

Loew on the sidelines smashed his mouth, the smell of boogers just now was quite fresh, he glanced at Gao Bo not far away, this was the first time he had fought with Gao Bo, but he had already expected such a scene now.

The England team's tactical response shows that Gao Bo's choice today is: defend and counterattack!

Between offensive tactics and defensive counter-attacking tactics, Gao Bo finally chose the latter.

This is a reasonable choice based on the basic situation of the team and the situation of the opponent.

Loew frowned, which meant that it would not be easy for Germany to score.

They have to be vigilant, they can't be in a hurry, they can't give England a chance to fight back.

England's squad is still very varied.

Adam White, a fast-paced England winger, could burst through the German defence at any moment after his speed exploded!

Loew has specialized in high waves.

He knows that this Chinese coach's team can play beautifully or conservatively!

It depends on his own needs.

At this time, on the side of the England coach's bench, Gao Bo sat in the coach's box, holding his hands on his chest and staring at the field.

Such a start was expected by him.

In fact, Gao Bo is very wary of the German team.

This German team is probably the strongest German team of all time.

They have retained some of the style of the original German team.

Fast and tough.

However, there are also some modern football things that are incorporated.

They were very delicate on the ball.

Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Cross.

These are very skilled midfielders.

Ozil aside, this is an atypical German - this guy is of Turkish origin.

Schweinsteiger and Kroos are very typical German players.

They have all the qualities of a traditional German player. But at the same time, they are also quite capable on their feet – and if you talk about their skills alone, these two are no less than some Spaniards who have flowers on their feet.

Such a German team, quite balanced, you can hardly find their weaknesses.

It's normal to be cautious against such a team.

The World Cup final, to be conservative, is always safer.

Of course, England's conservativeness doesn't mean they hold on to half time and wait for Germany to attack.

Once they have the opportunity, they will also take the initiative to press forward!

Even if it is a defensive counterattack, Gao Bo does not like a passive bucket formation.

He hopes that England can maintain some degree of pressing up front, and while protecting their own goal, they will also compete with Germany for the initiative in midfield!

As soon as the Germans were near the centre circle, England's pressing was immediately ferocious.

This is purposeful.

This kind of slightly aggressive pressing comes with a desire to attack.

If you can cut off the ball of the German team and launch a counterattack directly....

...

It's just that Gao Bo was a little surprised.

The World Cup went smoothly, and even the German team, which was swept by the host Brazil 7-1, didn't dare to press it out in this game...

Gao Bo looked at Loew and frowned slightly.

Obviously, in the final, Loew and him coincidentally chose the tactics of defending and counterattacking.

In a sense, Loew's choice was the right one.

This shows that his team did not rush to attack even against opponents like England, who have the advantage of each other's records.

They are conservative!

In such a game, it is not about who is more capable of breaking the opponent's goal, but about who makes fewer mistakes!

Only when there are minimal mistakes can it be a contest of offensive ability and offensive efficiency.

"Both sides are more cautious, whether it's Gobo or Loew, they both ask the team to defend well!"

"Although we should be mentally prepared for this, it will still disappoint fans who are expecting a Martian matchup!"

The commentators have expressed their opinions on the game.

It's been almost ten minutes since the opening, and neither side has any intention of pressing too hard.

Since the start of the game, there has been only one shot on goal from both sides in total.

Jamie Vardy pressed Kramer up front, swooped in with the ball himself after a steal, and fired a shot wide of Boateng's defence.

On the German side, although they had absolutely the ball - they had 72 per cent possession in 10 minutes of play, they have yet to shoot a single shot on goal.

"Judging from the current situation between the two sides, the game has not scored for 120 minutes, and it will not be a surprise, and it seems that we can hopefully expect a penalty shoot-out......," one commentator complained.

The game lasted another three minutes.

Thirteen minutes into the game.

The Germans finally had their first shot on goal!

Muller received a pass on the right and fired a shot that looked like a shot and the ball ran towards the goal, grazing the crossbar and off the line.

The ball is not fast, there is no threat.

And England, they also had a second shot on goal!

It's a set-piece opportunity!

Adam White dribbled the ball on the wing, as if he had pressed the accelerator button and did not let go, and ran all the way to the baseline, and was dropped to the ground by Ram.

The referee blew a free-kick.

Gerrard's free-kick flew into the penalty area, and the central defender Maguire shook his head in the penalty area, slightly off the left post, shocking the German fans in a cold sweat!

Loew was immediately alarmed!

He felt that he had captured Gao Bo's tactical intent!

England are very conservative, don't concede goals as the first priority, and at the offensive end, they have to make full use of the speed of Vardy and Adam White, play a quick counter-attack, shoot when they can, and can't know the set-pieces in front! Use locators to create killing opportunities!

England's centre-backs, all very tall, have good headers!

This... It's England's advantage!

Is that so?

Loew looked at the guy he admired.

Gao Bo still didn't mean to get up from the coach's seat, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and didn't look anxious at all.

Is this your tactic?

Loew thought to himself.

It's not going to be so easy for me to see through, is it?
