Super Coach

Sometimes, for a game, the role of the head coach is actually limited!

As if playing Croatia this game, Yang Cheng knew that the opponent used aggressive tactics after the opening, the purpose was to deter the German team, he also saw the problem and gave adjustments, but unfortunately, The German team still didn’t seem to be able to open the situation throughout the first half.

Not that the German team wanted to be conservative, but Croatia forced the German team to be conservative!

After slowing down the rhythm, the German team ’s advantage in ball control became more obvious. The German team ’s possession rate was as high as 72% in the first half, which also allowed Croatia to get only one time in the first half of the 45 minutes The shot was made in the 23rd minute when Srna crossed from the right and Mandzukic fired outside the penalty area, but it was ridiculously high. After that, Croatia never threatened the German team’s goal.

But ironically, the German team has never been able to threaten the Croatian goal.

Throughout the first half, Croatia always kept at least 8 players participating in the defense, leaving Modric and Mandzukic ahead, and even more, Modric also often retreated to participate in midfield defense and frontcourt Pressing, it is conceivable how strong Croatia’s defense is and has invested a huge amount of force.

Sometimes I have to admit that input and output are directly proportional, especially for a team like Croatia that is not weak. After investing 8 players to guard the goal, they defend the 32m area. It can be described as very firm. The German team is also difficult to find a better chance to break the goal.

However, the German team also did poorly, that is, they only shot 5 times and shot 2 times to the goal, but they did not pose a threat. On the contrary, the pass success rate and the ball control rate were both good. It also allowed the German team to firmly grasp the initiative of the game in the first half.

“Yang Cheng ’s team clearly lacks the ability to break the situation. If they say that they played Colombia in the last game, they still have the arrow character Gomez at the forefront. Then in this game, we can It was found that the German team clearly lacked a benchmark player on the front line! “

“Thomas Muller and Royce are more often on the wing. Under Croatia ’s siege tactics, it is difficult to effectively transfer the ball from the wing to the middle. This is a big problem. Once the German team advances to the opponent’s 32m area, there is a lack of opportunity to turn the ball into a threat! “

“We don’t know why Yang Cheng refused to go to Gomez, but we have every reason to believe. In this case. The last striker can achieve better results, at least Gomez’s impact and scoring ability, right Croatia is a deterrent. “

“It seems that there are a lot of fans who share the same view with us. They are shouting Gomez’s name. After obviously seeing that the team is weak, they are calling for the last game. Gomez, who scored twice, can play off the bench and can continue to lead the German team to knock on the Croatian goal. “

“I just don’t know when Yang Cheng is at halftime. Will he adjust the team’s lineup, or will he let Gomez come off the bench. After all, this striker is currently ranked first in the World Cup shooter list. Striker. “

In the group stage so far, the striker with the most goals is 2 goals. There are 4 players in total, Gomez is one of them.

Since the first group match scored twice, Gomez was quickly rendered into the hope of the German team by the media, thinking that after Klose was absent or directly retired, Gomez had the ability to assume the German team. There is hope for the offensive attack, so some fans will call on Yang Cheng to replace Gomez during the game.

However, as the team’s head coach, Yang Cheng must also have his own consideration, that is, after switching to Gomez, the team’s offense must be adjusted, which may cause players on the court to be confused, and once changed Going to Gomez means that there is one less person in the midfield, and the changes that must be taken into account by Yang Cheng must also be considered.

Besides, Gomez has never been a tough striker, especially in the face of intensive defense against the opponent, his effect is always very small. If he does not play well, it may make him The goal momentum and psychology are affected.

You know, Gomez is a kind of player who is more vulnerable to influence. The group played in the first game. Afterwards, Yang Cheng specially talked to him to make him understand the intention of letting him sit on the bench in the second game, soothed Gomez. Sri Lanka, if you let him go up now and perform badly, he may hit the players.

Sometimes, the fans are blind, but the head coach must remain calm and sane … The locker room is quiet, everyone is sitting in the seat, some are receiving the services of the masseur, and some are It was simply sitting there taking a rest, no one was talking, and there was some confusion in his expression.

They did not play well in the first half, but they were not bad because they controlled the situation.

If the Croatian penalty zone is left aside, the German team ’s performance will never lose to the usual, but the problem is precisely the passing and penetration of the vicinity of the penalty zone. It is difficult for the German team to successfully pass the ball into the threat zone. Croatia is simply in the penalty zone. Tianluodi has been deployed along the frontier. Once they enter this area, it is difficult for them to exert their advantages.

“That group of grandchildren is too rough, there are too many small moves, and they are very ruthless. Sometimes I really want to beat them up!” Ozil gritted his fists and gritted his teeth.

“The referee’s whistle is weak, and they obviously took a fancy to this point, so they even helped their arrogance!”

Some actions are regarded as fouls by some referees, and they need to be given a card, but in the view of others, they are considered normal and reasonable collisions and confrontations, so they will not give cards, and sometimes even fail to blow the foul.

This cannot be said to be the main referee’s bias, but should be said that the referee’s enforcement judgment is different.

For example, the referee who enforces the Premier League and the referee who enforces the La Liga. Judgment will definitely be different, because the Premier League has more physical confrontation. If all are blown according to La Liga standards, then the game may have to stop all day. This is a taboo in football games.

The German team wanted to control the ball, and the players arranged were generally in poor physical confrontation. This made Croatia immediately decide to strengthen the physical confrontation against the German team after testing the law enforcement standards of the head referee. At the same time, some small moves are also made to tighten the midfield and backcourt, squeezing the German team’s passing and running space.

This strategy has to be said that the effect is obvious. The German team’s ball control is more in the middle circle and its own half. Once in the Croatian half, the ball control rate is less and more, and with such a team Contest. The psychological quality and physical fitness of the players are huge challenges and losses.

Yang Cheng pushed open the door of the dressing room and walked in. Everyone immediately looked at his head coach in unison. They all looked at Yang Cheng. Because of this in the first half, it has obviously deviated from Yang Cheng’s plan for the game. The key now is to see how Yang Cheng adjusts and makes changes.

For many of them, winning the game is the most important. It does n’t matter who you change and who you change!

So at this moment. Yang Cheng walked into the dressing room and saw these pairs of eyes that were almost intimate. Looking at the players who trusted him one by one, he felt proud. Feel a confidence, because for him, no matter what team, the most powerful weapon is definitely not from technical tactics, but from players.

And the power of the most powerful player, that is unity and dedication!

Only a team of players who are extremely united and willing to dedicate all their strength to the team is the most powerful!

“We played well in the first half!” Yang Cheng walked slowly into the locker room and said lightly, his tone was flat, without any panic, it seemed as if he was not at all I was surprised, although everyone knew that the game he planned was obviously not like this.

“But we did not do well in two aspects, the first one is our depth of attack!”

Yang Cheng used the tablet he had in his hand to show everyone the first half pass and ball control area in the locker room through the screen. From these two pictures, all players can It can be seen that the German team’s ball control is more in the midfield and backcourt, and the pass route is more in the horizontal and back passes.

“I know that you played hard in the first half, but you also need to be clear that our opponents are no easier than us. How much physical energy we lose, they will lose much, even more than us. How much pressure we have, they are also the same. , Even bigger, and the problem we are facing now, they are also facing this problem! “

“Have you tied? We got 3 points in the first round, we got 4 points for the tie, but they only got 2 points after the tie, who has the advantage? We won Japan in the next game, and they still qualify, but they still Beware of the match between Colombia and Japan, no matter who wins the opponent, as long as they decide the victory or defeat, they will immediately drop the ranking! “

“So, we have more chips to compete with our opponents, and we should also have more confidence to fight our opponents, without the need to suffer gains and losses, or fear of mistakes. This is my request to you. In the second half, we need more Improve our deep pass, especially our deep pass to both wings! “

After listening to Yang Cheng ’s analysis, all the players accepted the first point, because they began to be unwilling to risk passing the ball into the opponent ’s defensive area after the opening encounter with the opponent ’s crazy forcing.

This is the World Cup. No one wants their mistakes to cause the opponent’s offense or even score a goal.

“I did not do well enough for your second point is to shoot!”

“Compared to our possession rate, we have too few shots. I know that the game is very tight, very difficult, the opponent is too tight, and our pass route is contained by the opponent, which makes you I feel great pressure, but I need each of you to give me a decisive shot as soon as I get a chance! “

“Whether it’s a long-range shot, whether you shoot a wide shot or a skew shot, it’s good. As long as you have the opportunity, you will give me a kick. Thomas Muller and Royce are all famous Bundesliga killers. Schwein Steiger, Tony Cross, and their long-range ability are also good, why not dare to get up? “

“You must keep in mind that as long as you get up, you will have the opportunity to pose a threat, and the other party will be afraid, and you will be able to deter the other party!”

After listening to all the players. They all nodded together, no need for Yang Chengduo to say, they both know how to improve these two problems.

Since Yang Cheng has played football for so many years, they all know Yang Cheng’s meaning and ideas, and they will understand it as soon as they say it.

“We have to make some adjustments in the second half. Schweinsteiger has to pay more attention to the left, Ram’s position is pushed up, and Ozil comes back. To help organize the midfielder, Tony Klos should pay attention to cooperating with Ecuador. Zil and Schweinsteiger! “

“Thomas Mueller, in the second half, you have to insert more from the left wing into the penalty area without the ball to drive the opponent’s side defensive player, and also pull the opponent’s defense line to create an offensive opportunity for Ram’s post-insertion It can also create opportunities for teammates to plug in the back row. “

“The central defender Sildenfeld has excellent frontal defensive ability. But the speed and rotation are weak points. The right-back Srna is also 32 years old. Make a fuss from the area of ​​the two. Eat them!” Yang Cheng pointed at the screen. The area on the right side of the Croatian restricted area signals Thomas Muller to enter the restricted area from here.

Srna is the captain of Croatia and the captain of the Shakhtar Donetsk. He is a player who has been seriously underestimated, but has only played in the Ukrainian league. It has caused problems including Ferguson and Mulini. Austria and other Premier League teams are concerned, but the Croatian right back is unmoved.

The real reason is not that he is not strong enough. It’s because of money.

Ferguson had intended to let Srner take over Gary Neville, and was willing to pay the transfer fee for him. But on the salary, they were unable to satisfy Srna’s after-tax salary as high as that of Shakhtar Donetsk. Therefore, they hoped that Srner would be able to join in a salary cut, just like Ashavin who joined Arsenal, but this was rejected by Srna.

This is not because Srna is greedy for money, but because his brother has Down syndrome, so every goal he dedicate to his brother, and he himself once said that during Croatia ’s football, Not making much money, his family worked very hard to feed and care for his brother. Now he has to work hard to feed his family and heal his brother.

Youdao is a child of a poor man, and this is a player who is worthy of respect, but unfortunately, this game, he is the opponent of Yang Cheng … With the adjustment of the German team’s tactics, especially Yang Cheng’s team To make a request, I hope they can make some deep passes, so the rhythm of the game will inevitably be accelerated, and the faster the rhythm, the more running, the more loopholes and space will follow.

For players such as Thomas Muller and Ozil who are naturally looking for loopholes and space, after the rhythm is accelerated, they can play more of their abilities, so they start to run through more off the ball Creating opportunities, especially Ozil, after the position retreated, he got more freedom.

After the opening of the German team’s midfielder actively suppressed the Croatian midfielder, especially the restrictions on Modric, Sven? Bender pays great attention to the defense of this player, once Modric gets the ball, he is always the first time stick it on.

Strangled Modric, and Croatia’s attack lost a majority of its threats!

“Broken ball, Sven? Bender broke Modric’s foot ball near the middle circle, a beautiful steal !!!”

With the exclamation of the on-site commentator, everyone noticed that the right of the ball was transferred from the hands of Croatia to the feet of the German team in an instant, and Sven Bender also transferred the ball to Tony Klos for the first time.

This is his role as a midfielder. Since he does not have a good passing ability, it is handed over to a player with passing ability.

Croatia’s press was very ruthless. As soon as Tony Klos took the ball, he saw the opponent Rakitic pounce on him like a wolf, he slammed the ball forward and saw Ozil quickly pull out from the middle , Retreat response.

Ozil got the ball, turned around, sprinted forward quickly, took the ball forward, and directly killed the Croatian penalty zone. The speed was very fast. Croatia’s midfielder kept pace, but it may not be able to stop the player. At this time, Korluka also filled in to avoid Ozil driving into the restricted area.

After scoring the ball, Ram quickly rushed forward to the bottom line, attracting the attention of the opponent’s right-back Srna, while Thomas Mueller ran to the middle, and it seemed to be preparing to be in the penalty area. The frontier responded to the pass from Ozil, which forced Sildenfeld to follow him.

The frontier of the penalty area is very dangerous. Once a scorer like Thomas Mueller gets a ball in this area, it is very dangerous, so he has to look at this German player.

Just when everyone thought Ozil would quickly dribble the ball into the penalty area, he suddenly divided the ball to the right, but he quickly moved forward. His move immediately put Croatia’s entire defense line Attention has been taken to the right of the goal. If you pay attention to it at this time, you can find that Croatian defensive players have been brought to the right of the penalty area by Ozil.

This is also a subconscious reaction, because they have to block the connection between Ozil on the right side of the penalty area and Royce on the right side of the penalty area to avoid the two from forming a cooperation, because once the ball enters the penalty area, then It’s dangerous.

The field was changing rapidly, and they were not given more time to think about it. No one noticed that after Royce got the ball, Thomas Mueller suddenly threw away the Silkenfield from the left side of the arc of the penalty area and quickly Rushed forward.

On the right, Royce stopped the ball and glanced at Thomas Muller. At this time, everyone was on the right side of the penalty area, and then a Sildenfield point, but was already thrown away by Thomas Muller. So, it started almost at the same time as Thomas Mueller, and Royce also used the speed to get rid of Strinic. After breaking through a position, he lifted his right foot and made a pass.

This foot pass the ball straight to the left of the goal! (To be continued)
