Super Coach

When the German and Japanese teams played in the group stage, the media around the world seemed to be celebrating the festival, but they did not celebrate with firecrackers, because this 4: 0 victory was definitely called this year. The best game so far in the World Cup.

Sharp and fierce offense, smooth and skillful pass and catch, plus the entire game is completed in a fast pace of attack and defense conversion rhythm, which gives people a kind of pleasure when watching Hollywood blockbuster.

If you use the famous English critic Martin Samuel’s short comment on Weibo after the game, it is “a qualified popcorn game!”, His adjective is obviously from Hollywood. Those popcorn commercials.

As a head coach, Yang Cheng has a clear understanding of the player’s state. He can master the player’s situation through training, psychology, and a series of means. He can clearly understand the intuitive situation. Through the first two The match and transfer of the game, the player’s psychology and state have reached a node.

In the first two games, the German team won, but it was obvious that the game was not happy, or it can be said that it was not the kind of game that the German team was best at. The results and goals were obtained under the pressure of the opponent. This made the German players even if they won the ball, but they still felt unhappy, as if something was suffocating and blocking.

From a psychological point of view, they need to vent once!

Therefore, when faced with Japan, the German team played a hearty situation that was not in the first two games, all players gave a high level of performance. Almost one-sided to suppress the Japanese team in a half-beaten beating.

Thomas Muller, Philip Ram, Mario Gomez, plus Royce, who added icing on the cake to the German team, the four goals of the German team were completed by four different players, and the whole team went up and down The performances are very good, which undoubtedly allows everyone to see the strong side of the German team.

The process of the game was full of passion and wonderfulness, after the game. Everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of the game, but when the group of professional critics calmed down and began to think about and reflect on the game. They couldn’t help but analyze the game from other aspects.

The column of Martin Samuel was published in the Times, he used four words, to avoid weaknesses!

“When Klose was injured. The whole world felt that the offensive of the German team would be affected, but the scoring ability of the German team we saw did not decline in the slightest. They scored a total of 9 goals in the group stage The ball, without losing the ball, this is definitely an impressive record. “

“Unbreakable defense, sharp attack, this is the most impressive impression of the German team, but throughout the three games of the German team’s group stage, you can find a very interesting place, that is, the German team’s total It is arranging their own tactics according to the characteristics of the opponent. “

“In the face of better ball control and control ability. But Colombia and Japan, which have weaker body confrontation capabilities, the German team can play the impact and powerful running tactics without hesitation. They can use their body, technology and overall speed. Superiority, completely crushing opponents, and facing Croatia. They can also use more control tactics with better control. “

“In the final analysis, the core of tactics is actually to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses. This seems to be simple, but how many can be done in football today? And Yang Cheng is undoubtedly the best one among them, he will always be It is the kind of highly targeted tactics used to suppress the opponent. “

“I used to talk to Ferguson, Wenger. Mourinho, and later Redondo, and others. They all said the same thing to me, about today’s football playing targeted tactics. The best must be Yang Cheng, because Yang Cheng has a targeted master next to him, Rafa Benitez! “

“Of course, this is not to say that Yang Cheng is not as good as Benitez in targeted tactics. Both are considered to be the world’s top tactical masters, but Yang Cheng wants to coordinate the overall situation, taking into account the offensive and defensive, Benitez is in The details are aimed at the layout, the two complement each other, work together and cooperate with each other, which results in a series of brilliant records. “

“So we can see that Yang Cheng’s team has always been so targeted in terms of tactics. They can always exert their advantages on the basis of containing their opponents, and play the role of promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses. In the game, we can find that the poor 4 shots of the Japanese team are completely caused by the tactical defeat! “

“While looking at the three games of the group stage, we can find that the German team’s status has been adjusted in place, getting better and better, and after losing Klose, the integration of Gomez and the team’s offense is also getting better. , We have every reason to believe that such a German team is definitely the number one hit in this World Cup! “

Relative to Martin Samuel’s comment on the German team at the tactical level, the German Pictorial also gave a very high evaluation of the German team’s tactics, thinking that Yang Cheng adopted three different sets of offensive modes in three games. The key is It also allowed the German team to use skillfulness, which was obviously well-prepared, reflecting the strength of his world-famous coach.

“But in the case of outstanding team performance, we should not ignore individual performances. For example, in the game of Japan, Gomez’s performance surprised us all because we rarely see Super Mali. Austria will also have such a fierce and brave side, he even singled out the two central defenders of the Japanese team in the front field! “

“Yang Cheng ’s team was very clear from the beginning. To freeze a team like Japan that likes to control the ball at their feet, they have to start from the front line, so Gomez is in the frontcourt from the beginning. At all times, it is like a foraging beast. As long as the opponent’s central defender, even the full-back and the lower back get the ball, as long as his distance is not far away, he will choose to rush up. “

“Such a scene is rarely seen on weekdays, especially a body like Gomez, even a little closer will put pressure on the short Japanese players, which also makes them in a panic. The pass loses the weekday The accurate head. “

“There was such a scene in the game when Thomas Muller made a mistake when driving the ball inward on the left. The ball was cut off by the Japanese team and moved to the middle. They were originally prepared to launch a round of counterattack, but Gome Si was like a rocket, rushing back quickly from the front. While breaking the ball, he also turned the opponent to the ground, and successfully delivered the ball to the foot of Tony Klos. This time, he was snatched back. Won a round of applause from the audience. “

“We all know. Watching the German team’s game, you never want to see the kind of single-handed situation where the opponent’s entire defense line is turned upside down, and you can never see which player has no scruples to stand. Waiting for teammates to pass the ball in the opponent’s penalty area. Watching the German team’s game, all you can see is a group of players who have lowered their posture and every ball must go to the end with the opponent to win a game together The victory of the game! “

“Perhaps, the talents of German players are not the best. Perhaps, the technical skills of German players are not the most top-notch. Perhaps, the personal strength of German players is definitely not the best. However, German players will always have the fighting spirit that their opponents do not have. There will always be the arrogant fighting spirit sighed by the opponent! “

“I used to say that Gomez couldn’t fit into the team’s offensive system and could not replace Klose, but in this game, we saw hope. Maybe Gomez will never be able to replace Klose, but as long as he insists on his own This attitude of a game, as long as he insists on moving in this direction, he will become a new benchmark for Klose, the German front! “

Three group matches, Gomez played two starters. He scored three goals and two of the best on the spot, arguably one of the best players in the German team, and he also became the best scorer in this World Cup, although they are tied, But this is enough to make him proud.

Coincidentally, in this World Cup group match, the player with the most goals so far has scored 3 goals, 4 players have done it, and the German team has occupied two of them, Gomez With Thomas Muller, they both scored three goals and tied for first place in the shooter list.

Before the game, Samed Yesher, who was valued by Yang Cheng, had consecutive opportunities to come off the bench, but unfortunately, although the teenager had a lot of opportunities to perform, he never got a convincing performance. The transcript, at least as a striker, in the case of Gomes and Thomas Muller scored again and again, Samed Yesher has never been able to score his first World Cup goal, which has to be said to be A big pity.

Now, after three games in the group stage, the German Kicker Magazine commented on the German national team that the most mentioned word is maturity, comprehensive maturity, especially Thomas Muller is the most obvious.

This player has always been relatively low-key. Although he didn’t score a goal in the first game of the group, he got an assist, and his performance was also outstanding. It was only covered by the radiant Gomez, but the second game of the group In the face of Croatia, his two goals helped the team get rid of their opponents smoothly and got the group first in advance.

In the third game of the group stage, Thomas Muller scored and assisted again. Although his performance was not as conspicuous as Gomez, he was always stable. It was the kind that you might not care too much, but when you pay attention to it When you look at him, you will find that he has already surprised you.

According to the convention of the best shooter in the World Cup, if the number of goals is the same, the player with the most assists takes the golden boot, and if viewed by this scoring standard, Thomas Mueller is undoubtedly the golden boot, because his assists are all The player with the most 3 goals.

Many people can’t locate Thomas Mueller players. His skills are flawed. He can’t dribble and control the ball like a normal wing player, or like Royce and Goetze. , But he has an extremely keen sense of scoring and a remarkable sense of movement, he can always move to the most threatening place anytime, anywhere.

As for what a scorer needs most, stopping the ball and shooting, Thomas Mueller is very solid, and he has not been criticized by the shooter. He has the sense of cooperation and teamwork that many shooters do not have. Coupled with his tactical role, he made his first three matches in the group stage.

“Some people may say that after Klose was out, Gomez performed very well, but what we should see is. In terms of playing time and performance, the current national team Lilam and Schweinsteiger , Bad Steubel and Neuer are indispensable, but after Klose’s absence, Thomas Mueller’s performance is the most stable and most contributing player on the team. “

“After this World Cup, we will completely lose Klose, but we have every reason to look forward to our future. Because we ushered in a comprehensive and mature Thomas? Mueller!”

“Thomas? Mueller, Ozil, Tony? Clos, Royce, Sven? Bender, Bad Steuber, Hummels, Jerome? Boateng … Our backbone is all So young, this is a treasure house that Yang Cheng has brought to German football, and it has also laid a solid foundation for our dynasty! “

“Perhaps. Players like Thomas Mueller, you can never see his name at the top of the FIFA Golden Globes list, but any opponent will always mark him as the most threatening player. At least for this World Cup so far, his performance has been perfect, even the most discerning fans can’t blame him! “

After the German team won Japan, all the games in Group C were officially over.

Japan lost to Germany, but Colombia defeated Croatia 3: 2. At a critical moment, Falcao showed his ability to be the world ’s top scorer, playing a winning goal and helping Colombia kill Croatia.

In this way, the German team won 9 points in 3 wins. In the first place in the group, Colombia was defeated by the German team in the first game. In the next two games, Colombia scored a win and a tie, ranking second in the group with 4 points. Also stand out from this group.

The Japanese team ranked second in the group with 2 points, and Croatia ranked at the bottom of the group with a 1 point record. The biggest problem with this team was the promotion of the midfield, so the tragedy of Croatia from the beginning Doomed.

With the German team winning Japan, several other group games are also in full swing. Among them, the most interesting thing for Yang Cheng is the group D where his opponent is. The French team scored 7 points with 3 wins, 2 wins, and 1 draw. From the group, they came out as the first place, and the Chile team got the second place.

According to the lottery rules before the World Cup, Yang Cheng’s team will encounter Chile in the round of 16.

In the next few days, other games have been successively determined to win and lose, and the top 16 teams have also been born one after another. One of the very obvious boundaries is that Asian teams It was a complete annihilation of the whole army, and all of them collapsed into the group stage. No team can stand out from the group stage.

If it is said that during the World Cup in South Africa, the appearance of Japan and South Korea makes people think that Asia has already possessed the ranks of second-rate strong teams, then the Brazil World Cup, the entire Asian team is annihilated, especially the Japanese team suffered by the German team 0: 4 The game of mad slaughter made everyone realize that they were only second-rate.

Of course, if compared with Yang Cheng’s motherland, this is already a remarkable achievement.

The situation of this World Cup is still the European and South American teams singing the double reed, and then will continue to continue the confrontation and contest between Europe and South America, but the European teams still occupy a clear advantage, like Germany, Spain, France , Portugal, England, Italy and other traditional strong teams have successfully advanced.

South America’s Brazil, Argentina and other teams have also entered the knockout game. Among them, Argentina and Germany are also divided into the same zone. If the German team can successfully pass Chile, he may encounter Argentina in the quarter-finals. Maybe it’s a fight again.

Long before the World Cup group stage kicked off, Yang Cheng had asked the think tank to start collecting all the intelligence of the four teams in Group D. When the final opponent determined that it was Chile, the think tank would have collected more than 300 pages of intelligence that night. The data and materials were handed over to the coaching staff. Among them, the German coaching system also included some videos and highlights from the past two years of the Chilean team.

Yang Cheng also conducted an in-depth analysis of Chile as soon as his opponent was released.

You know, in the 2010 World Cup in Chile, under the leadership of Bielsa, he played a football that has been admired by countless fans. It was welcomed and affirmed by countless fans and won a huge response, although Bielsa left At one point, Chile ’s handicap fell short of the World Cup qualifiers, but soon, the Chilean Football Association invited another Argentinian, Jorge Sambali, to coach the national team.

The Argentinian claimed to be Bielsa’s most loyal follower. In the shortest time, he led Chile to complete the redemption, successfully received the World Cup finals, and brought Chile to the top 16 again. .

The bare-headed Argentinian has already completed his booking goal for this World Cup. The Chilean Football Association also announced that it will renew the contract with Jorge Sambali after the World Cup, allowing the latter to remain on the national team.

Faced with such an opponent, the German team was also challenged, especially in defense.

But Yang Cheng also knew clearly that Chile has maintained the current style from the time of Bielsa. Although there have been some ups and downs in the middle, the Chilean team also has some problems with South American teams. That is Heavy offense.

Faced with such a team, if you respond well, you can take it off smoothly, just like in the World Cup in South Africa, Brazil easily killed Chile, but if there is a leak, then you will be in the ditch anytime, anywhere!

The French team was at a disadvantage for a long time in the group stage, and almost lost to the hand of Chile. This is a great example! (To be continued)
