Picked up a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and took two sips, Yang Cheng casually threw the bottle of water on the lawn on the sidelines, but a pair of eyes stared intently at the game.

The time entered 60 minutes, the game situation was changing rapidly, and Yang Cheng did not dare to be careless for a moment.

For Belgium, it is a very desirable result to be able to draw with Germany, the strongest player in the group, at their home stadium, but for Germany, even a draw away from Belgium is an unacceptable outcome for Germany, so the German team must do their best to win this game.

At halftime, Yang Cheng also issued a must-kill order to the team, asking everyone to do their best to win the game.

"The oppression and on-the-spot counter-robbery are improving, and you have finally taken the first step!" Benitez looked at the performance of the players on the pitch and said with a smile, he felt that the German team had a lot of pressure intensity in this game, and the counter-attack on the spot was also very positive, although the effect was still poor, but nothing could be done in one step.

Besides, against Belgium, it is enough!

Football is like this, relying on accumulation, Yang Cheng is now instilling the concept of pressing and counter-robbery on the spot to the German team, and also put forward such a request, let them implement, although the initial effect is average, but it is also a good start, and then they will gradually become more and more comfortable with this tactic, and they will become more and more skilled in using it, such as arm force.

"The pressing and the on-the-spot counter-attack have improved, but the offense has declined!" Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It is understandable that the players are now focused on the two major requirements of high-intensity pressing and on-the-spot counter-robbery put forward by Yang Cheng, and they are deliberately paying attention to these two aspects, which will inevitably lead to their insufficient investment in other aspects such as offense.

"Take your time, it's only been a few days, do you think you're bringing Real Madrid?" Paul? Byer laughed.

How long did it take for Yang Cheng to bring out a Real Madrid?

Not to mention that it took three years for Real Madrid at its peak, it took more than half a year to lead Real Madrid to stabilize, and now he is leading the German team. Counting the World Cup, at best, the time together is less than 1 month, and many of them are competitions, and it has not gone through a long period of training and running-in to reach the current level, which is good.

"Kyle and Mertesacker play a double center-back combination, which is indeed a lot stronger, Kyle is really young!" Benitez praised.

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded. From Chemnitz to Kaiserslautern, Kyle has always been his favourite, and even after he left Germany, the two have been in contact frequently, and he has followed Kyle's game closely. Of course, I know what the German star is capable of.

"Let Bad Stuberdo watch Kyle play, this kid has to be carved!" Yang Cheng reminded Paul? Bayer, the latter nodded, in fact he had already told Bad Stubert long before the game, and the kid seemed to be watching quite intently.

"Jean Sven? Bender goes to warm up! Yang Cheng saw that on the court, Khedira made a mistake, and after seeing Schweinsteiger step forward, he also stepped forward, which directly caused the ball to be broken. Belgium played the ball straight to Romelu Lukaku and threatened the German defence.

Although Mertesacker decisively broke the ball off and did not pose a threat, Yang Cheng was still very dissatisfied.

In the 65th minute, Yang Cheng made the first substitution of the game. Bender replaces Khedira.

When the latter walked down, he came directly to greet Yang Cheng, but Yang Cheng had a serious face and didn't say anything. There is no explanation. Let Khedira go back to the locker room to take a shower first.

Polite? After Bender came on, Yang Cheng let Schweinsteiger step forward. And Sven? Bender is protecting at the front of the defensive line, this kid has performed well in training, and his condition is much better than that of Traesch, so originally Yang Cheng wanted to try Traesch, but now there is no reason to put Sven, who is in better shape? Bend doesn't. …,

Bender's first touch of the game was a tackle, in a one-on-one battle with Hazzard, Bender decisively stuck the position, broke the ball, handed it to Schweinsteiger, and directly formed a counterattack, but this time the counterattack did not have an effect, and Ozil's shot was slightly wide.

Scoring goals is something that is unavoidable, and you can only go with the flow, so Yang Cheng doesn't force it.

But what is clear is that after Bender came on the field, Schweinsteiger was released and began to press forward in the midfield frequently, and his wide range of runs and counter-attacks on the spot effectively slowed down the pace of Belgium's attack.

For Schweinsteiger, Yang Cheng feels that this type of player should be given the greatest degree of freedom, excellent body, strong ball protection ability, solid and reliable basic skills, good overall situation, excellent sense of rhythm, good passing ability, high long-range shooting target, coupled with his ubiquitous uniform running strategy, such a player has almost no shortcomings.

However, as a midfielder, Yang Cheng felt that Schweinsteiger was not good enough, because he lacked the ability to pass the ball, so Ozil and Deisler became the key figures in the German team's forward passing.

Schweinsteiger's passing route is actually very simple, diagonally to the sides, straight to find the front midfield, Ozil and Thomas? Muller often comes back to intersperse with changes and adds a Lahm, so Schweinsteiger is more of an all-round transition on the ball in Germany's midfield.

"Rafa, you say, if the striker is removed and a steady passer is added to the midfield, in addition to Thomas? Muller, how about arranging a back-up attacker, what do you think? Yang Cheng thought about it, but suddenly such an idea popped up.

Benitez was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and nodded, "It's feasible, but you have to form an effective tacit understanding, anyway, you don't care who is on the front line at all, and it's not strange to play without a striker." ”

The striker of the German team was out of gear after Klose, Gomez, Podolski and others were not liked by Yang Cheng, and finally came up with a Thomas that Yang Cheng admired? Muller, but what this youngster is best at is not to go up front, but to attack from behind, and his strength is to intersperse and run through the seams.

The reason why Yang Cheng thinks this way is because he has to think about how to organize the attack of the German team without Klose?

As they spoke, they saw a sudden change in the situation on the pitch.

…………

…………

Polite? Bender's arrival has provided a stable barrier for the German team's midfield defense, and his skills are good, and he can break the ball and protect the ball. He is a reliable defender and receiver, and his play greatly relieves the defensive pressure on Schweinsteiger.

At the very least, he no longer needs to worry about the gaps left by Khedira's forward insertion, and can concentrate more on the team's attack, which makes it easier to bring out his characteristics.

Belgium was strongly pressed by the German team with the ball, Klose, Thomas? Muller, Mesut Ozil and Deisler all drove in the 32-metre area of Belgium to press and press, forcing Van Bitten's fastest big foot to clear the ball.

The ball fell to the midfielder, Sven? After Bender scrambled to cut the ball down. A quick diagonal pass to Schweinsteiger in front of him.

While Piggy gets the ball, Thomas? Muller and Mesut Ozil formed a left and right back, Ozil pulled to the left to ask for the ball, attracting Fellaini's follow, Thomas? Muller cut into the edge of the box.

As soon as Ozil got the ball, he pushed it to the edge of the box, Thomas? Muller has the ball with his back. Kompany behind him immediately stepped forward to force Thomas? Muller, while waving his hand to tell Van Bitten to be careful of Klose.

But as soon as Kompany stepped forward, Thomas? Muller stopped the ball and turned around calmly under the interference of Kompany's body, and he was aware of the gap left behind Kompany after the grab, and as soon as he turned around, he sent the ball to the gap as soon as possible. That is, behind the Belgian defense. …,

Van Bitten knows Thomas too well? Mueller, he's worried about Thomas? Muller turned and shot directly into the penalty area, but unexpectedly, because of this, it directly led to a problem with his positioning, in Thomas? When Muller passed the ball, Klose was right next to Van Bitten and went straight into the box.

The ball passed right behind Van Bitten and Klose was not fast. But easily stop the ball. After a meal, he deceived the attacking goalkeeper Bailly. As soon as he pushed, the ball was kicked out of his feet, from the right side of Bailly, who lost his center of gravity because of the action, and rolled into the bottom left corner of the goal, 1:0!

“goalllllllllllllllllllll！！！！！” The on-site narrator shouted loudly.

Klose immediately turned and rushed out of the penalty area, and the excited German striker opened his arms excitedly and shouted, rushed to the corner flagpole, and celebrated the team's goal. Muller, Mesut Ozil and others also rushed up to celebrate Klose's goal.

'It was a very sudden, sudden, but reasonable goal, because the Germans were in control of the whole game, playing steadily, without being reckless, and in a way not as good as Loew's team, but more reassuringly. The on-site narrator analyzed.

The commentator on the side listened and shook his head, "You are right, Yang Cheng's Germany is not as good as Loew's, at least from the perspective of this game, but I don't think his viewing is not strong, and don't forget, Yang Cheng has only been in charge of Germany for a few days, and suddenly he wants to lead Germany to play beautiful and reassuring football, which is impossible!" ”

"I don't think there is a problem with Yang Cheng's approach, first consider stability, Germany in the past seemed to be devastating, but in fact there are many games, many times it is difficult to reassure, it is easy to have some heart-pounding scenes, but from this game, Germany has done a good job in this aspect."

"Loew's team is more idealistic, focusing on offense, lack of pressing and pressing, any team can win if it goes well, but once it doesn't go well, any team can lose, Yang Cheng is a master tactician, he doesn't pay attention to offense at first, first emphasizes pressing and pressing, first emphasizes controlling the situation, which is undoubtedly the most difficult for a team, but once it succeeds, then the goals that follow, beautiful, will follow."

Speaking of this, the on-site commentator also laughed and nodded: "Indeed, Yang Cheng's team has never disappointed people, and can always bring beautiful football enjoyment to fans, so our suspicions should be superfluous!" ”

While the commentator and the guests were talking, Yang Cheng did not react too strongly to Klose's goal.

"He doesn't seem to be happy!" The on-site commentator laughed.

"I should be unhappy, because the German team wasted a lot of opportunities in this game, especially after entering the opponent's 32-meter area, there were a lot of mistakes, but I think this has to be slow, give Yang Cheng more time, and I think. For a coach like Yang Cheng, scoring goals is expected for them. ”

"Sooner or later, you can score!" The on-site commentator nodded and said that the advantages of the German team were obvious and solid.

"Yes!" The guest agreed, "Yang Cheng once said that creating 15 scoring opportunities in the penalty area is that everyone can score; Created five scoring chances in the box, Ronaldo may not be able to guarantee a goal. Therefore, his pursuit is often not the number of goals, but how to effectively send the ball into the opponent's penalty area and create scoring opportunities. ”

The on-site commentator laughed, "Maybe this is the gap between the famous and the mediocre!" ”

"Well, so we only have one Caesar in this world!"

While they were teasing, Yang Cheng made two substitutions in succession. …,

The first substitution was with Tony? Klose replaces Klose. The second substitution was to replace Deisler with Gotze, and the two substitutions were to replace the veteran with a youngster, and he was replacing Toney? After Klos, there was no striker in front of the German team.

The substitutions were mediocre and it was a bit disappointing that Germany were unable to create any better chances to score until the end of the game, as they had such a strong advantage but couldn't score more goals in the end. It was just a 1-0 victory, which was a bit of a pity.

But as the on-site commentator said, "Spain also won by 1 goal, but Spain won the World Cup, which shows that steadfastness and control are the key to a team's peak. ”

However, even Yang Cheng himself was not very satisfied. It's just that he wasn't satisfied with not scoring more goals. It's that after he replaced Klose, the team failed to perform without a striker.

Klose is a player who is very important to the German team's attacking system. His interspersed runs and pulls in front of him can often create opportunities for his teammates behind him to cut in, and now without Klose, the German attackers suddenly don't know how to pull and threaten the opposition's defence.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" Yang Cheng shook his head and sighed, everything still has to be done slowly, and moving forward step by step is the king.

Benitez and Paul? Bayer looked at each other and smiled, and they all felt that Yang Cheng's substitution just now was a bit of a child's temper, and they all felt funny.

In the game, he thought of trying to play an offensive style without a striker, Yang Cheng suddenly decided to replace Klose, which was inevitably a little anxious, which directly led to the team's attack in the last ten minutes becoming very disorganized, with frequent mistakes, and the players didn't know how to play and missed the opportunity to expand the score.

Of course, Yang Cheng did not take a risk, because after the German team scored, the situation was controlled in his own hands, and Belgium could be said to have no chance of winning this game, so Yang Cheng's substitution could only be said to be a trial formation at best, without the slightest sense of risk.

The head coach, especially the head coach at the level of Yang Cheng, has a keen sense of smell for the game, whether they are sure or not, they all know it in their hearts, besides, with Yang Cheng's character, he will never joke about the future of the team.

And Yang Cheng tried the formation like this, it was not without gains, at least everyone saw the problem, after the German team lost Klose, the offensive power was suddenly weakened a lot, mainly for the opponent's defense, especially the pull of the two central defenders.

Offense requires space, and space is pulled and created.

The German team lacks the kind of players who can impact the opposition defense and create space, so they need a pulling player like Klose, and when he comes off the field, other players will pull very little on the Belgian defence, so that the Belgian defense does not bear much threat.

Any formed and settled defense line is theoretically very strong, even if it is composed of national football players, in the face of Real Madrid's attacking power, it can protect the goal to the greatest extent, so the goal always occurs when there are loopholes in the opponent's defense line, and the key to judging the strength of a defense line depends on his ability to assist in defense, transposition and protection in the face of pulling, breakthrough and other aspects, how to ensure the stability of the defense line to the greatest extent, which is the key to a steel defense line.

"In the next few days of training, we will continue to sculpt the team's pressing and counter-attacking on the spot!" The corners of Yang Cheng's mouth raised, he was still quite satisfied with this game. ..., not to mention a 1-0 win, even if it is a draw or a loss, he will not be too surprised, because he knows the situation of this team very well, and he values this game more than the result of the game, but the process.

Now the German team can ensure that Yang Cheng is satisfied, and can also achieve a victory in the result, which is undoubtedly the best, so Yang Cheng has no dissatisfaction with this game, on the contrary, he feels very satisfied.

At least the progress is a little ahead of his plan, which should be the impact and progress of his youth system over the years.

Moreover, there is really no need to doubt the tactical execution of the German players.

In the next game against Azerbaijan, the German team is playing at their home stadium, Yang Cheng is full of confidence in this game, and there is no big problem, after all, there is a big gap between the two teams in terms of strength.

Therefore, for Yang Cheng and the current German team, the most important thing is to ensure the formation of tactics as soon as possible, and then form combat effectiveness, only in this way can they have the opportunity to make a difference in the European Cup.

At least for Yang Cheng, the European Cup is a very good training event before the World Cup, and it is also a favorable opportunity to promote the metabolism of the German team.

If they could, Ballack, Kyle, Deisler and others would gradually leave the national team, if not...... We'll talk about it then!
