Chapter 1042 - Come back
Klose sat on the bench, staring at the game on the court from start to finish.
This is his first appearance on the court since this World Cup, and the first time he appeared on the game list, the first time he sat on the bench, so he can feel it. The live shots on the side gave him several close-ups .
As early as the opening, when the fans on the scene heard that Yang Cheng put Klose on the big list, everyone was ecstatic about the news, because they were all looking forward to the moment when Klose came back For German fans, Klose’s comeback is not only because he defeated the injury, but also has other meanings.
Is he able to play? Is it possible to restore the state? Is it possible to break Ronaldo’s scoring record?
This has undoubtedly become a fan of the world, and has become the focus topic of the media all over the world!
Or it should be said that in addition to who is the final champion in this World Cup, the biggest suspense is precisely whether Klose can break Ronaldo ’s goal record, and this also follows Klose ’s reappearance on the roster, and Being more concerned by everyone, because this represents Klose’s opportunity is returning.
I believe that the **** fans of Ronaldo who saw Gomez ’s excellent performance will feel relieved. Because Gomez ’s excellent performance means that Klose ’s opportunity is being lost unless he has a performance against the sky, but this For a 36-year-old veteran who has just completed knee meniscus surgery. is it possible?
From the first half with a 3-0 lead into the second half, the German team controlled the situation from beginning to end. Argentina lost all the time. In order to save face, Sevilla finally had to choose defensive tactics. He doesn’t want his team to be washed by the German team like Chile.
Moreover, attaching importance to defense does not mean conservatism, at best it can be said to be a defensive counterattack.
Time seems to be tugged. He walked very slowly, just like the situation on the court. He was slow and sloppy. He didn’t feel happy in his heart. Without the kind of hearty and happy in the first half, it was a bit disappointing.
But no wonder. Played so well in the first half, if you continue to play in the second half. Unless the seeds of Argentina’s head are damaged. Or Savilla wants to lose one of the worst losses of the World Cup.
Everyone noticed that from time to time, some players from the German bench came out to warm up, and Yang Cheng ’s first substitution happened in the 57th minute. He replaced Thomas Mueller with Royce. The leading scorer of the German national team played all the games of the German World Cup, and Yang Chengli paid attention to his protection.
Not long after Royce played, Yang Cheng replaced Schweinsteiger with Goetze. Let Tony Cross come back to play the midfield and form a partner with Sven Bend. Let Goetze go up to play the midfielder position, which is also a big variable in the second half of the German team.
Seeing Argentina has begun to attach importance to defense. The German team is also happy to play the snake with the stick, strengthening an attack.
Royce, Goetze, Podolski, these three attacking avant-garde belong to the kind of attackers with good technology and excellent speed. Tony Kroes, under Yang Cheng ’s training, also has a fast ball speed, at least Not like Banega’s kind of slow grinding.
Klose sat on the sidelines, looked at Yang Cheng’s back against his back, and then looked at the stadium, he immediately realized his head coach’s idea, or it can be said that Yang Cheng has been doing this all along .
That is, when there is only one Mascherano in front of the Argentine defense, at least two of the three attacking avant-garde of the German team must threaten this area at the same time, suppressing the 32-meter area of Argentina, or even more Reach 3.
In fact, the football field contest can be subdivided into a number of contests in different regions. In a fixed region, whoever has the advantage will have the initiative in the region, so when the German team has at least When two or three players are in the 32m area, a Mascherano alone can’t help it.
In the simplest terms, even if these three players do not run, they simply stand there directly, but as long as they can pass and know how to pass, then Argentina should not expect to defend them unless they pull out Your own defense.
This is what happens if there is no ball-free running. With an excellent ball-less running system like Germany, it goes without saying.
Once this is achieved, what is lacking is actually to pass the ball to the feet of the three attacking avant-garde in the 32-meter area in the shortest time when the offensive and defensive transition is made, making 2 hits or 1 in the shortest time. It’s a 3 to 1 situation.
Looking at the three lost **** of Argentina just now, all of them are the changes created after the ball reached the 32-meter area!
Compared with Argentina, the German team’s defensive organization is tight.
Not to mention that Argentina has Lavic, Messi and Aguero top attacking, Di Maria also frequently involved in the participation, but in addition to the German defense and Sven? Bender, Podolski is also actively involved Cooperative defense, so most of the time they are 5 defense 4 or 6 defense 4.
However, the German team rarely reveals empty seats. Their defense is more dependent on their own ballless running and a strict fan-shaped defensive system. Since the ball enters the 32-meter area, every player in the area will be All are cut into independent individuals, and they are avoided to the maximum extent.
The personal abilities of Argentine players are indeed excellent. For example, Messi and Aguero are the kind of players with excellent personal abilities, but once they meet strict defense, such super-personal players can be one-on-one. But it is difficult to do one-on-two.
Today’s football is no longer a matter of individual ability, it is no longer a so-called technology, but a team.
“Our defensive task in this game is not to snatch, not to steal the ball, but to cut them and avoid them from cooperating!” This is Yang Cheng’s game for all players during the pre-match meeting The defensive points of the game.
Team is more important than individual. The organization and operation of the team is far more important than individual play!
Thinking of this, Klose couldn’t help but think that the combination of Mascherano, Banega and Di Maria was actually excluded from Argentina, and everyone expected that the German team had won the game. Grasped.
If you do n’t want Di Maria, you can change to a defensive midfielder. Perhaps Argentina ’s situation will be better, but Savilla ’s first concern is how to maintain the team ’s offense. But he neglected his own midfield problem too much.
“Maybe, the opponents they encountered in the group stage and the round of 16 knockouts are not strong, let them be a bit overwhelmed!” Klose secretly guessed.
This is not impossible. After the start was too smooth, it was easy to create an illusion that caused Sevilla to fall into this illusion.
Just as Klose analyzed the situation, the game time jumped steadily into 65 minutes. The German team continues to maintain the advantage on the scene, the Argentine player formation is still a bit loose. Especially when attacking. The midfield was severely suppressed, and the trident in the frontcourt did not pose much threat at all in this game.
“Milo !!!” Assistant coach Paul Bayer quickly walked back from the front and came to the bench, shouting loudly.
Klose raised his head and looked at the assistant coach whose face turned a little blushed because of being too loud, and saw him pointing to the distance, “Go warm up. Go on after 5 minutes!”
Klose’s eyes lit up, but this was the last substitution in this game. Yang Cheng left it to himself with a very clear meaning. Go up for a while and get familiar with the rhythm and atmosphere of the game. After all, you haven’t had regular training and competition for so long. You should grab the rhythm and feel the familiar atmosphere.
Without any hesitation or extra words, Klose stood up from the bench, took off his coat, turned and jogged towards the sidelines, and started a warm-up, after all, he was older, To warm up the body, he really needs a little time, even if he has been warming up frequently, but now it is time to play!
“Look, my God, Klose is warming up, is Yang Cheng ready to change into his effective striker?” The on-site commentator and the sidelines noticed Klose warming up.
When the picture of Klose warming up appeared on the big screen in the stands, all the German fans in the audience made a deafening cheer, and countless German fans shouted Klose’s name in unison for him Cheer up, encourage him, support him, and hope he can perform well after playing.
Klose warmed up and waved towards the fans, but his warm-up activities were not discounted at all, because he knew his situation, he had to warm his body to the level of the game, so he could go up as soon as possible. Have a good performance.
To be honest, he does not know how much he can recover, because since the operation of the meniscus on the right leg knee, he has been lacking regular training, and it has only been 3 days to return to the team ’s training ground. In 3 days, his training has not been good, and his performance is much worse than before the operation.
Because of this, Yang Cheng gave the main striker to Gomez, Klose also recognized this, but now Yang Cheng let him come off the bench, in fact hope that he will find a state through the stimulation of the game, It is best to be able to rediscover the passion and rhythm of the game that belonged to him in the past.
In the 71st minute, taking advantage of the chance of a dead ball, the German team replaced Gomez with Klose.
“We saw that Klose came on the court. He replaced the outstanding performance of this game and staged the scored Gomez twice!”
All the German fans in the audience were screaming. I believe that not only here, in every city of Germany, every German fan in the world, they must be crying for Klose to play again.
“Very, very difficult. At the age of 36, just before the World Cup, meniscus surgery was performed. Everyone thought he could not catch up with the World Cup, but Yang Cheng still stubbornly took him to the World Cup. Still stubbornly giving him support and encouragement, we finally saw the moment Klose was back on the court! “
When the on-site commentator said this, his tone was full of sighs, because he was clear, whether it was for Klose, Yang Cheng, or for the German team. Klose’s re-entry, not only represents the players themselves, but also a spirit of this team, the spirit of never giving up!
Sometimes, the flag and soul of a team relies on one player after another, using their hard work and writing with their own lives. It ’s not just talking.
Gomez and Klose embraced tightly on the sidelines, even if the two were competitors, but he still admired the veteran. He also learned a lot from Klose and he learned from Klose Ze also saw his own shortcomings, so after Klose was absent due to injury, he vowed secretly in his heart. I must use actual actions and performance to fill in the shortcomings caused by Klose’s absence.
Now, he is doing very well. He has done everything he can!
Many players have come by themselves. Embrace Klose and wish him a good performance. Many fans are applauding Klose for returning to the stadium, [Millo! Milo! ! Milo! ! ] ‘S shouts were deafening, which he deserved.
Returned to the football field and stood on the field again. Klose took a deep breath. He felt a looming sweat smell in the air. That’s the smell of sweat from the players trying to fight **** the court, a bit bitter. But there is a boiling magic.
He was standing at the front of the team, the closest to the opponent ’s goal. What he saw was Gareth and Fernandez, who were facing the enemy. Both of them looked at him with unwillingness, as if they would be anywhere anytime. It was like a hard tackle on his right foot, which is the attitude that all guards will treat the wounded.
But Klose was obviously not frightened by this, he smiled at the two of them, but this made the two Argentine central defenders who were supposed to be juniors somewhat overwhelmed and hurried to accompany a smile.
When the game restarted, Klose began to intersect frequently in front of him. His running consciousness was as good as ever. This is something deeply imprinted in his mind. No one can erase it, but his body is obviously still Unable to adapt to this high-intensity game rhythm, every time he takes the ball, when the opponent approaches, he has a feeling of pressure coming from the face and immediately passes the ball out.
Every time the ball reached Klose’s feet, it seemed to become a transition. Sometimes, there were obviously good opportunities, but Klose still quickly handed over the ball, letting the opportunity be missed, and sometimes he And because the timing of the ball was a little late, the ball was cut off.
All this was seen by Yang Cheng on the sidelines. He felt that he was normal because of Klose ’s lack of competition and training for a long time. Now he needs to keep making mistakes to master the rhythm of the game as quickly as possible. The body readjusts to this high-intensity game atmosphere, so that he can develop his strength.
Otherwise, he will always be like this now, realizing the position, but his body can’t keep up!
“I hope he can make good use of these 20 minutes!” Yang Cheng seems to be mumbling.
Both Benitez and Barak heard it, and both of them gave support to Yang Cheng ’s decision. If it can be used for 20 minutes, and it can be exchanged for Klose ’s fighting power, then for Germany For the team, it is definitely cost-effective.
Therefore, after Yang Cheng played Klose, the requirement for all players was to deliver the ball to Klose’s feet as much as possible.
However, with the increase of Klose’s turnovers, the German team also faced the threat of Argentina’s counterattack, especially Messi, this superstar desperate to fight back for Argentina, so he and Aguero played in front It was very ruthless, and the counterattacks were threatening again and again, just one goal away.
3 goals lead, for Yang Cheng, unless Argentina scored 3 goals, otherwise, the result of the game is meaningless, so he did not pay special attention to this matter, he still hopes to help Klose re-adapt The rhythm of the game.
In the past of one minute and one second, the Argentine players’ counterattacks have become more and more chaotic, especially when Savilla replaced Higuin with Aguero, which was originally intended to strengthen the team’s offensive substitutions. But instead, Argentina’s counterattack lost a greater threat. At least in the counterattack, Aguero’s threat was much greater than Higuain’s.
The German team ’s offense also played around Klose as always, and many passes were sent to his feet, which gave Klose a lot of opportunities, but the German striker either stopped the ball and coordinated his pace. Not good enough, or there is a problem with the prediction of the ball, and it always saves the shot.
After playing for 20 minutes, Klose did not even have a shot. This has to be a disappointing number. At least it also proved that Klose ’s recovery situation is not ideal, even serious. not ideal.
Until the second minute of stoppage time, the German team finally played another chance.
On the left, Ram took advantage of Argentina’s opportunity to attack and counterattacked the ball to advance quickly. After forming a two-on-one cooperation with Royce on the left around Sabaletta, he quickly crossed the ball to Argentina The defense line is ready to cut into Argentina’s restricted area on the left side of the large restricted area.
Fernandez rushed outside to intercept, but Ram was fast and suddenly accelerated after an emergency stop. After throwing off Fernandes, he went down to the bottom line and passed a low pass to the middle.
The ball wasn’t fast and hard, but the angle was good, but it passed the Gary who was back and fell to the front of Klose. The latter also ran back quickly. But his speed is no less than that of Garrett, and he is a little behind, so he got the ball on Gareth’s right side.
At this time, the big goal appeared in front of him, and all he had to do was kick the ball into this goal.
As long as he is not saved by Romero, then he will have a shot, and he will tie Ronaldo’s total of 15 World Cup goals! (To be continued)
