Chapter 695 Header passed to myself (Subscription required)
The old prince scored a crucial goal.
It doesn’t matter how many goals you score, but being ahead means you can firmly control the rhythm.
Is there any team in the world that is better at defensive counterattack than Italy?
No matter what tactics the coach uses, Serie A players will always have a set of counterattacks.
The fact that Serie A is becoming more and more hypnotic is also related to this.
As football develops, the individual performances of star players have been infinitely suppressed, and the game as a whole is still played with caution, so the game is naturally not good to watch.
At its core, football is still a sport that worships individual heroism.
Even though it is a team sport, whether it is the Ballon d'Or, the World Footballer of the Year, or even the title of Emperor of Football, they will only be given to one person, not Maradona and his teammates.
This also shows what kind of football fans prefer.
The key to this Italian team's success is that while they are functioning as a whole, these players with strong personalities have all performed well.
The combination of teamwork and individual skills has created a new Italian national team.
"Defend and wait for an opportunity to counterattack!"
Huang Kaiwen shouted from the sidelines: "No one should push forward, everyone should pay attention to your position, victory is already in sight, don't give the Germans any chance!"
I have to say, this German team is very strong.
Huang Kaiwen really doesn't want to go back to the same starting line and look for another opportunity.
And there is the death sentence of penalty shootout. The Germans are almost invincible in penalties. If it really comes to a penalty shootout, the psychological pressure on Italian players will be very, very great.
Just like when goalkeepers see the Yellow Ball King taking a free kick, they start to get scared before the kick even begins.
In this case, let alone an exceptional performance, we should be thankful that we didn't make any mistakes.
The lagging Germans did not lose their composure, and this was what Huang Kevin was most worried about.
The calmer the opponent, the more difficult he is.
Huang Kevin turned and looked at Love who was eating snacks.
Love frowned and pinched his nose subconsciously.
He obviously also realized some problems.
The German team put a lot of pressure on Kevin Huang, but Italy also gave him a headache.
The two teams are evenly matched.
Technically, the German team is better, but in terms of strength, physical fitness and defense, Italy has the upper hand, especially since Totti often retreats.
Instead, it allowed Insigne and Marchisio to attack their penalty area.
In addition, Candreva occasionally makes his way in. Although he is called a full-back, he is actually more like a winger who often returns to the penalty area to defend and search.
Oh shit!
Huang Kaiwen had already guessed that Germany would attack mainly on the right, so he placed Barzagli, who had the strongest personal ability, in a position opposite Muller and Lahm.
This is the downside of open cards.
Just like the Brazilian team back then.
Whether it is Maicon or Alves, the attack on the right is more fierce.
The current German team has the same problem.
Although Lahm can play on the left, other defenders are not comfortable playing on the right, which is equivalent to tying Lahm to the right.
Drosini and Barzagli, one in front and one behind, are really not easy to deal with.
The German team launched another attack on the field, and Italy chose the classic chain defense plus zone defense. They did not chase the ball at all and were only responsible for their own area.
The advantage of this is that you won't be blindly chasing the ball and disrupting the formation.
For example, the situation where no one on the right side of the German team allowed Candreva to receive the ball would never happen to Italy.
Candreva came forward to assist, and the BBC defense will immediately complete the transition from four defenders to three defenders, with each person responsible for a larger defensive area.
Schweinsteiger received the return pass and passed it to Kroos, who took a look.
In fact, picking the ball is a good opportunity.
But as a skilled player, he knows Juventus' defenders very well.
Considering the speed of Muller and Klose, it is still a little slow. It might be better to replace them with Torres.
He passed the ball directly to Muller with some regret, but safety was the priority.
Muller took the ball and moved to the side, looking up. De Rossi was already preparing beside him.
Pirlo stuck to Klose's side, while Motta was careful about the dog running around.
Knock back.
No chance.
Lahm received the ball and immediately passed it to Kramer, who was immediately pressed by Marchisio.
At this time, Kramer fell to the ground while turning around and passing the ball.
"Hey, what's going on? There shouldn't be much physical contact between Marchisio and Kramer. The Italian players are also explaining."
"It felt like a strain. Kramer was holding his calf. Players from both teams were nervously waiting for the referee to make a decision. Fortunately, there was no card, but the German team should make a substitution."
Hey!
Love thrust his index finger into his mouth and sucked it.
The first half wasn't even over yet and we were forced to make a substitution.
He stared at the field nervously.
Seeing the team doctor shaking his head, Löw turned around and asked Schurrle to warm up.
I feel like this is not a good sign.
Hey!
Huang Kaiwen just feels that man proposes, God disposes.
Kramer, who had the fewest passing targets on the German team, was injured.
Players like him who like to pass the ball to fixed teammates are easier to intercept.
Players who have a lot of passing targets are usually very good at observing the positions of their teammates, which is also a matter of vision.
More than half of this German team has players with strong vision and game reading abilities, which is one of the reasons why Kevin Huang feels they are difficult to deal with.
Like Gerrard, many people like to praise him.
However, Kevin Huang thinks that Gerrard is just a B2B and central midfielder, and he is not an organizing player with good vision.
The repeated back passes at critical moments show that he has problems with his judgment on the field and is much worse than players like Pirlo and Kroos in organizing pass choices.
Germany replaced Schurrle, who still needs to be observed.
He doesn't know much about short-lived players like Marin and Schurrle.
Once kicked out, they will be transferred, and after the transfer, they will disappear.
Huang Kaiwen's impression of him is that he has good speed and can cut inside and shoot.
Among these German youngsters, Huang Kevin was most optimistic about Marin and Reus. Later, he discovered that Muller was the real boss.
Today Italy imposed many tactical restrictions on Muller's movement.
Muller usually appears to be heartless, but his positioning is very smart.
If I have to mention Kevin Huang, I will think of the guy who looks like a farmer from the suburbs of Lisbon.
Deco looks honest, but he is also very smart when playing football.
It’s just that Muller is much more self-disciplined than Deco.
The ball was given to the German team, and they continued to organize patiently after the restart.
With Schurrle coming on, Germany's frontcourt became more erratic.
Schweini and Kroos played as defensive midfielders, and the positions of Erdogan, Muller and Schurrle were not fixed at all. But generally, Erdogan went to the middle, with Schurrle and Muller on the left and right.
Muller received the ball again in the frontcourt, and Barzagli kept a distance in defense while being careful of the opponent attacking from behind.
The retreating De Rossi blocked Muller's passing route and prevented him from establishing a connection with the center.
As expected, Muller passed the ball back to Lahm again.
Lahm didn't stick to the ball and directly hit it across to Schweinsteiger. The Germans were patiently organizing the attack.
"Go back, go back!"
Seeing Pirlo and Motta rushing up almost at the same time, Huang Kevin shouted immediately.
When two defensive midfielders rush forward to grab the ball, there will be space behind them, and if the ball is passed to them, there will be a lot of space.
"The Italian team played very steadily today. No one left their own defensive area. If the German team wants to make a difference in the Italian half, they must send more players forward."
"Yes, you see Lahm is the main attacker, but Howides will also come up to attack and wait for the opportunity to meet his opponent. The previous goal was because he came up and didn't go back, leaving the right side empty and Candreva found the opportunity."
"Look at the two teams playing, like AC Milan without Kevin Huang vs Barcelona. Germany's defense, like Barcelona, can only play high, otherwise their numerical disadvantage makes it difficult for them to make a difference in the opponent's half. Italy, like AC Milan, waits for counterattacks, but without Kevin Huang, their individual skills are greatly weakened."
Huang Kaiwen played for three teams, transferred three times, and had four coaches, but no matter how he changed teams, he always fought back.
Real Madrid's whirlwind play or Chelsea's steel jungle, with the blessing of Huang Kevin's personal skills, make the game exciting.
Even in Milan, the many technically excellent players forcibly changed the viewing experience of the game.
When it comes to Italy's authentic defensive counterattack, the fans find it hard to accept it.
Especially during this period of time, Italy only defended and did not counterattack.
The scene was somewhat like the German team's half-court offense and defense training.
Every Italian counterattack was resolved in advance.
Tassotti walked up to Huang Kevin and said, "It's not good for us to continue like this. How about letting the players waste less energy in the counterattack?"
"how come?"
Huang Kaiwen smiled and said: "Just because you can't see the effect doesn't mean there is no effect."
Huang Kevin's words confused Tassotti, but as Ancelotti's assistant coach, he fully understood one thing, that is, you must understand what the coach says, even if you don't understand it.
Tassotti nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, time will tell."
Huang Kaiwen smiled and nodded.
Yes, it’s time!
The counterattack was interrupted every time because the German team returned to defense quickly, but you pressed forward and returned to defense quickly, so physical energy consumption became a major problem.
In addition, the Germans were forced to make a substitution.
Huang Kaiwen felt that I had the advantage and he didn't even know how to lose.
Insigne is a consumable. He rushes forward with the ball and wastes the Germans' energy, which in itself is a very cost-effective thing.
In the second half, the Yellow King made another change and rushed into the German penalty area.
If it doesn’t work, change it.
Anyway, Giovinco and El Shaarawy are both very young.
If the German team continues to consume their energy like this, it is estimated that after 70 minutes, the Germans will show their flaws.
beep,
As Klose's header went wide, the referee blew the whistle for halftime.
Huang Kaiwen stuffed the towel into Inzaghi's arms, asked Tassotti to carry the water bottle holder, and went to the sidelines to greet the players.
As each person left the court, Kevin Huang patted their arms.
He also greeted several familiar German players.
Muller is also a client of the Yellow Ball King, so the relationship must be maintained well.
After Totti left the field, Huang Kaiwen asked with a smile: "How is it, are you tired?"
Totti nodded, breathing heavily.
Playing in Serie A is not that tiring. Those young people in Germany can really run.
"I'll find a chance to make substitutions in the second half, and if that doesn't work I'll just take you off."
Huang Kevin said.
Totti did not refuse, after all, he is old enough.
The atmosphere in the Italian dressing room was pretty good.
Candreva received praise from many of his teammates. He scored a world-class goal in this tournament and created a scoring opportunity for Totti today.
No one expected this guest full-back to perform so well.
"Your performance in the first half today was outstanding. I only want to emphasize this point. You showed perfect execution, which is the most important point for the team's success. Even in Milan, we must strictly implement tactics, so we have won so many championships!" Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
Chiellini nudged his old teammate Buffon with his arm and whispered, "Are Milan's tactics that strict?"
"Of course!" Buffon nodded and said seriously: "If you don't execute the tactics, you will be on the bench."
"Mr. Wenger's tactics are very advanced, right?"
Chiellini asked with some envy.
After all, he is a famous coach who has been famous for many years and has always maintained a high level of coaching. Most importantly, he is said to be a very good person, not as difficult to get along with as some coaches.
Buffon rubbed his chin before saying, "Actually there is no difference, it's all about passing the ball to Kevin."
Chiellini: …
Damn it, he thought Milan’s tactics were so complicated, but all they did was pass the ball to the strongest person.
Huang Kaiwen glanced at the two people who were talking and asked, "Is Jiji going to come up and talk?"
Buffon quickly waved his hands and said: "He asked me if I was tired. I said that today's tactics were well arranged and the Germans did not threaten the goal at all."
Chiellini was stunned.
Why didn’t I realize before that this guy who hasn’t even graduated from high school is so good at talking.
Huang Kaiwen smiled and nodded, saying, "Let's not discuss tactics. It's all thanks to the coaching staff. What I'm going to talk about next is attention. After 45 minutes of high-intensity competition, although your physical strength has declined and you are ahead in the score, your attention will be distracted. At this time, you must devote yourself to the game, don't give the Germans any chances, and strictly implement the tactics. Do you understand?"
"clear!!!"
After Huang Kaiwen finished speaking, the locker room became lively.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Inzaghi started to cheer again and shouted: "Kevin, tell a joke. You told a joke in the first half so that we could win. You should also tell one at halftime."
Gattuso looked at his old teammate with sympathy.
Why doesn't Filippo learn his lesson?
Huang Kaiwen smiled and nodded, then stood up and said, "Okay, let me tell you a story. One day, Filippo was on a train to Rome. He was sitting by the window enjoying the scenery when he suddenly felt the urge to pee. He quickly ran to the toilet, but found someone waiting at the door. A few minutes later, a beautiful girl came out, shook her hands, and splashed two drops of water on Filippo's face. Filippo licked it with his tongue, but there was no time to flirt at this time, because he had to pee. Filippo rushed in without even locking the door, took off his pants and urinated. With a shudder, he finally felt relieved..."
Many people in the locker room started laughing.
It is easy to shiver when urinating. It is said that it is a conditioned reflex of the body due to loss of heat.
"what's next?"
Inzaghi asked.
"Next... Filippo finished peeing and was about to wash his hands, but then he realized that there was no plumbing in the train toilet to wash his hands."
The locker room was stunned for just a second before erupting into deafening laughter.
Gattuso patted Inzaghi's shoulder and laughed.
Because this is something Inzaghi would do.
"Okay, let's go back to the game and concentrate."
Kevin Huang said, smiling and waving his hand.
"Kevin!"
"Kevin!"
"Kevin!"
As the sky gradually darkened, the enthusiasm at the Maracanã Stadium did not diminish at all.
As the two teams returned to the field, the fans immediately burst into thunderous cheers.
Although Huang Kaiwen will not play, everyone knows that Italy can go this far because of the young coach on the sidelines.
One midfielder was reduced and one winger was added.
The German team's tactics have quietly changed.
Kramer was originally supposed to replace the injured Khedira, but now he himself is injured and has been replaced by Schurrle.
The combination of Schweinsteiger and Kroos has good control, but they are definitely a little lacking in defense.
Their current formation itself is more offensive-oriented.
The three people behind Klose will all participate in defense, but it is hard to say how much defensive ability Schurrle and Erdogan have.
Insigne took the ball and cooperated with Totti to break forward. While dribbling the ball, he was paying attention to whether there were any teammates on the right.
However, this time Candreva encountered the defense of Hvides as soon as he made a forward run, and the German team did not want to suffer the same loss twice.
Insigne, who failed to find an opportunity, was holding the ball on the wing waiting for his teammates to come up. Huang Kevin couldn't help shaking his head.
Although Insigne is good at dribbling, his breakthrough ability is not strong enough. Many times when he gets the ball on the wing and encounters defense, he fails.
Many wingers have this problem. When they run and counterattack, they pass the opponent easily.
But once he slowed down, he couldn't suddenly start to pass the opponent.
Fortunately, Marchisio responded in time and passed the ball. Schweinsteiger went up to defend, and Marchisio immediately passed the ball to Pirlo who came in.
Pirlo went straight into the penalty area without any hesitation.
"Beautiful! This is a good chance. Pirlo should have noticed Totti running to the back line when he came up."
"Yes, but Totti didn't head the ball well, it went straight into Neuer's hands."
"It was mainly because there were people harassing us. Hummels and Boateng both had good air defense capabilities. It was not easy to score a goal through a cross."
Kevin Huang applauded the crowd.
The old prince is still old.
If I were a few years younger, I think I would have hit the ball into position.
The chance was good, but it fell a little short both in the start and in the confrontation.
But Totti's age is there, and Huang Kevin can't ask for more.
He waved his hands towards the field, allowing Totti to engage in more physical combat with the opponent.
As long as Totti is exhausted, Huang Kevin is ready to make a substitution.
Totti nodded.
It's good for the team.
Ranieri had asked him to do something similar before, but Totti did not give Ranieri face and the two parted unhappily.
Although Ranieri is also a coach.
But who is he to ask Francesco Totti to do the dirty work?
Totti has been playing in Rome for so many years and has always played according to his own ideas.
It's not that he's rebellious.
The main reason is that he feels he can play better if he follows his own ideas.
Even under Lippi in the national team, he never changed his mind, let alone a coach of Ranieri's level.
But Kevin Huang is different.
Just on the football field, Totti admires Kevin Huang very much.
Before, he thought that all geniuses were the same, he was just unlucky, and if he had transferred to Real Madrid, he would have won a few more championships.
But after seeing Kevin Huang, he realized that a truly awesome player is one who brings championships wherever he goes. His consecutive success in Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea fully demonstrated that it was Kevin Huang who was successful, not his team.
And the most important thing is that Huang Kevin has helped him before, which is already a huge favor, and now he has helped him solve the big problem with his ex-wife.
Even if Huang Kevin asked him to die, he might...consider it and find a reason to refuse.
The German team made a comeback. Totti immediately rushed over and made a sliding tackle. Kroos made a quick stop and avoided Totti's foot, but Totti got up quickly unexpectedly.
As he was handling the ball, Totti once again kicked the ball behind Kroos.
Insigne was pushed down by Howveds when he got the ball forward, and the referee finally showed the first yellow card of the day.
"This is a good free kick opportunity."
"Italy made substitutions. Cassano replaced Totti and El Shaarawy replaced Insigne. They are preparing to replace two new players. Totti and Insigne ran a lot today."
"Yes, Italy's counterattack mainly relies on these two, Marchisio and Candreva. These four people make more forward runs. Now Huang Kaiwen has replaced two people in one go, leaving only the last trump card."
"Löw hasn't made any plans to make any substitutions yet. Doesn't the German coach seem to be in a hurry?"
[Open your eyes and see the world].
"Klose didn't have many chances today. Loew should try a substitution."
"Who to replace? Gomez? Gomez is not as good as Klose. What kind of a mess did he play before?"
"The main problem for the German team is that they don't have many great chances. Italy defended Muller and Ozil very well today and no one could pass the ball to him."
"I have to say, Kevin Huang's tactics are quite interesting. When he led the Netherlands before, he kept changing the formation, and today was no exception."
"If it doesn't work, let Bo Feiji come up and give it a try. Bo Feiji is quite mysterious. He is only second-rate in the club, but he will be a top star once he joins the national team."
"Draxler should be brought on to try and break through."
"Fuck, are there any German players who can dribble past Italy's defense? Do they really think they are all like Kevin Huang?"
Germany has always been popular at home.
The reason for this is probably that in the 2002 World Cup, the Chinese team entered the top 32, and schools, enterprises and institutions organized viewings of the game, so the attention was extremely high.
The young player Klose, who emerged out of nowhere and scored 5 goals, won the hearts of many fans and also benefited the German team.
But now Klose's athletic ability has seriously declined.
In addition, he often returned to defense. Huang Kaiwen felt that as long as he did not make mistakes in defending high balls, Klose would not pose any threat to Italy today.
Unfortunately, Italy failed to score a goal from the set-piece.
As the game progressed, the Germans lost their previous calmness.
Falling behind meant being eliminated, so they began to attack frantically.
coming!
Kevin Huang knew the opportunity had come.
As long as Italy can hold on and then find an opportunity to counterattack and score a goal, they can completely secure the victory.
Kroos rushed forward with the ball and was soon pressed by Marchisio.
Kroos subconsciously wanted to pass the ball to Schweinsteiger, but the moment he passed the ball he realized that De Rossi was blocking the passing route.
In this situation, he twisted his body slightly and turned the ball into a return pass.
After passing the ball, he looked to the sidelines.
In fact, in today's game, he always felt that the German team's chance of winning was not high.
After all, the head coach of the Italian team is Huang Kaiwen. Having been teammates for such a long time, he has never seen Huang Kaiwen lose, even once.
Hummels took the ball and drove straight to the front court.
The ball quickly crossed the center line and headed straight for the Italian penalty area.
Bonucci rushed forward to compete with Klose for the header. Both of them jumped without any reservation, but Bonucci's jumping height was obviously a little higher.
As Pirlo took the ball and turned around to observe, he assumed a pose.
Swing your arms and feet.
boom--
The ball turned into a long rainbow and flew towards the German team's half again.
The eyes of the whole world were fixed on this pass along the director's camera.
The Germans were running back frantically, but Cassano had already appeared on the right. It was very easy for him to stop this long pass. He just stretched out his foot and the ball successfully flowed to his feet.
Howvides rushed up almost at the same time.
He wanted to take advantage of Cassano's unstable ball to steal the ball, but Cassano's foot moved slightly and the ball was directly hit behind him.
Cassano started to move and easily shook off Howides.
Huang Kevin almost couldn't help but shout out.
This guy is so beautiful!
He is worthy of being the most talented player in Italy.
If it was Insigne, the same situation would definitely result in a throw-in.
Sometimes the talent gap between people is so exaggerated. Insigne has developed well, and is similar to Cassano, both of whom are technically excellent players.
But when comparing the two people, he is still far behind.
After passing Howveds, there was almost no defensive player in front of him. Cassano deliberately went to the bottom to attract Boateng to come over to defend, and then he chose to make a sideways shot.
boom--
The pass was powerful and fast.
Boateng was a step slow in extending his foot, and Neuer in front of the goal was unable to stop him.
After the ball passed, it was directly into the empty goal.
Young player El Shaarawy didn't expect such a good opportunity to come, and he subconsciously got into a shooting position.
boom--
Salah failed to control the ball when he turned and shot, and the ball hit his own face and bounced into the goal.
boom--
"Stephen!"
"Stephen!"
"Stephen!"
Italy's substitutes and coaching staff rushed to the sidelines almost at the same time, celebrating wildly.
The stands were already a sea of joy.
As a legendary Italian player, Mapaolo had a bitter look on his face.
Several of his sons looked at him with disdain because he had made a considerable mistake in judging the direction of today's game. Not only did Huang Kaiwen's team not give the German team any chance, they also completely secured the victory!
