On the evening of September 11, the Vienna Hapel Stadium ushered in the second round of the World Cup qualifying European Group C match, where the German team challenged Austria away.
Since the German team broke the Faroe Islands at 5: 0 in the first game, they are currently ranked first in the group, and the game of the German team is the first game of the Austrian group. After a week and a half, Austria has prepared for training The German team was greeted by the team at home.
Because Klose played the whole game in the first round, this game was arranged by Yang Cheng on the bench, and Ozil, who performed poorly in the first game of the group, also sat on the bench. Yang Cheng discharged another. Set 433 lineup and tactics.
The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defenders are Ram, Bad Steuble, Hummels and Jerome Boateng. The three midfielders are Schweinsteiger and Sven Bend. , Hudila, the three players in the frontcourt are Thomas Mueller, Goetze and Royce, there is no striker ahead.
However, the German team’s tactical tactics are clearly different from the Spanish tactics. The German team’s tactical tactics are more emphasis on diagonal attack, based on defense, to strike opponents through a quick counterattack after the ball is broken, Quickly advance the ball to the opponent’s threatened area, and then play out the cooperation.
Austria is also a tough opponent. After the opening, this team used its physical strength to form a strong and powerful siege against the German team, which caused the two sides to fall into a fierce stalemate. It was always difficult to open the situation, but on the scene, The German team is still firmly in control of the game.
Until the 41st minute of the first half, Austria finally showed its flaws.
Hedira suddenly inserted the ball and handed it to Goetze. Goete leaned towards Thomas Muller. The two formed a quick pass on the left and used a quick counterattack to tear the opponent’s defense line. Austria’s defensive pressure was attracted to the left, and then Goetze’s foot was passed diagonally to the right, so that unmanned Royce cut into the penalty area and easily pushed into the net. 0: 1!
In the second half, the two sides changed sides again and the German team continued to put pressure on Austria. In the 54th minute, they finally knocked on the Austrian goal again. This time, Royce crossed the ball on the right rib 45 degrees and crossed. Thomas Muller followed on the left and pushed the ball into the net 3 meters in front of the goal. 0: 2!
This score was eventually held to the end of the game. Yang Cheng’s team defeated Austria with an away score of 2: 0. Won two consecutive victories in the group!
Two consecutive World Cup qualifiers, scored 7 goals, 0 goals conceded. Such a record is enough to make the German team proud of the heroes, which also made the German team get unanimous praise from the media after the game, thinking that this team is becoming more and more stable, more and more strong team style, especially in After stalemate against the Austrian game, the German team patiently searched for a breakthrough, without the restlessness of the past.
“Perhaps, Özil has become the only dark spot in this beautiful German team!” This is the photo comment on the two games, because Özil played the Faroe Islands for the first time. Playing the Austrian bench away, the results in both games were average.
Instead replaced Gezi, who played for Ozil, and showed a world-class level. He has performed very well in two consecutive games and won the reputation of all media. Everyone agreed that Goetze was making a strong impact on Ozil’s main position, and when they threw this question to Yang Cheng, the latter did not object.
“Yes, I don’t deny that Goetze is really using his outstanding performance to improve his position in my mind. I found that since this season, the rapid progress of Goetze has made me have to look at him, almost every time. I was able to clearly feel his rapid leap in one training session, and I am very happy about it. “
“For now, our starting midfielder position still belongs to Ozil, he is the best player, but in the past period, whether he is in the Bundesliga, or in the national team, he has been sluggish, No good, although I still trust him, I sometimes reconsider whether my choice is correct! “
This was interpreted by the media as Yang Cheng began to lose trust in Ozil, because this main midfielder has always been Yang Cheng ’s love, but after Ge Ze was selected to the national team, he showed rapid progress and the development momentum was very good. Ozil lacked the ability to score differently. Goetze made significant progress on the last foot and became more and more confident. The score of the team’s first game against the Faroe Islands was the strongest evidence.
After playing two group matches, the German domestic media began to unanimously speculate, Goetze will challenge Ozil’s status in the current national team, at least in playing Austria, Ozil has become Goetze’s Substitute, and Yang Cheng does not deny this.
Because Yang Cheng did not defend Özil, he was accused by many famous people, thinking that he should stand up to defend his players, rather than choose to fall into a bad position when Özil is in poor condition.
Instead, Ozil took the initiative to stand up and be interviewed by reporters.
“Mr. Yang Cheng gave up on me, that is definitely someone who does not understand the truth of the matter, because he talked to me the day before he was interviewed by the media. He told me that he trusted me very much from beginning to end and knew me well. Ability, but he thinks that my current state is really bad and must be improved. “
“Yes, I do n’t deny that physical fitness and continuous combat have always been my weaknesses, but I have been insisting on physical training recently, and I hope to be able to correct my shortcomings and defects in order to better and better State puts into the game. “
“I know that the outside world has very high expectations for me and our team. In the past European Cup, we also proved our level through excellent performance. We have all played our own strength, but this is absolutely Not our peak, we can continue to improve ourselves! “
“I believe that I can adjust my status quickly, and the best Ozil will soon return to the fans’ sight!”

On the evening of October 12, 2012, the German team visited Dublin and challenged Ireland.
The team captain Ram accumulated a yellow card suspension, Hummels was injured in the league and the two generals were absent, which undoubtedly caused a heavy blow to the German team, plus Schweinsteiger just injured in the league More and more come back, which made many people doubt the German team’s trip to Dublin.
Yang Cheng made some adjustments to the starting lineup in this game, and the goalkeeper is still Neuer. The back line Schmelzer, Bad Steuber, Mertesacker and Jerome Boateng, the midfielder double backs are Tony Cross and Hedira, and the three front players are Thomas? Muller, Ozil and Royce, the single forward is Klose.
One of the obvious changes is that in the arrangement of the double midfielder, Tony Cross was pulled to the midfield position by Yang Cheng as the core of the team’s organization. Hedira is even more advanced and is responsible for sharing the pressure for Tony Cross. This move completely liberated Tony Cross’s organizational ability.
In this game, the German team played a very skilled and smooth cooperation from the beginning. The Irish coached by Trapattoni started to defend steadily, trying to block the German offense from the goal.
But as the German team is running more and more smoothly, the Irish goal is finally knocked out by the German team again and again.
Özil assisted Royce in the 27th minute. Set the first record for the German team.
But in the 41st minute, he himself shot a volley with his left foot 14 meters in front of the goal. The ball went straight to the far corner, and the goalkeeper could not reach the whip, 2: 0.
After the second half, the German team continued to launch a fierce attack on Ireland. Klose turned the ball back and caused a foul on the Irish central defender. Ozil took the initiative to take the penalty and hit the penalty. 3: 0.
After Ozil scored twice, Ireland performed better and better. Ireland was beaten by the German team’s wave of offense, and it was penetrated again and again. Finally, it lost to the German team at home. A nearly dumbfounded score.
7: 0!
Ozil staged a hat trick. Royce, Klose, Thomas Mueller and Hedira each have a goal!
Hao won three consecutive victories, scored 14 goals and 0 goals. The journey of the German team ’s World Cup qualifier group stage was surprisingly smooth, especially the good momentum shown by this German team, which made everyone They are all impressed by this new European champion, but their defense is even more frightening.
Therefore. After the game in Dublin, the reporter threw Yang Cheng into the question of how to ensure a sharp offensive as well as defensive consideration. The latter laughed together and looked good.
“First of all, I want to say that the reason why our defense can be solid is because our players are very focused. We are a team. Whether we are offensive or defensive, we all advocate team fighting, so we are defensive. At the time, we also paid great attention to the overall layout and control, which is our defensive thinking! “
“Of course, we are currently playing three games in Group C. In these three games, we did not encounter too obvious threats, as if playing Ireland in this game, this team is missing in the game. Some ideas, too much emphasis on simple long pass rush, but our players, especially Mertesacker, when defending the opponent’s long pass high ball, handled very well, plus our counter-attack is very sharp . “
When talking about this, Yang Cheng was always laughing, “We Chinese have a saying, offense is the best defense, I believe so, at least this game is!”
“Mr. Yang Cheng, how do you evaluate Ozil in this game? Before you criticized him for his poor condition, now he staged a hat trick, do you think this is your incentive working?” A reporter laughed Asked.
After listening, Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head. “I have to correct it. I haven’t criticized him. I just said my opinion. If this is also criticism, then I am criticizing people every day, right?”
Was nodded and acknowledged by many reporters before Yang Cheng continued.
“I think the most obvious change between Ozil and the previous two games in this game is that his running is more positive, and his physical fitness has become outstanding. This can be done from the game. Discovering all this, his running distance is more than the past two games, I think this is a very gratifying change, because it proves that he is more involved in the game! “
“But I think this is not the best Ozil, he can become even better, I have confidence in him!”
Yang Cheng’s words were also recorded by all the reporters present. Nowadays, the World Cup qualifiers in the entire European region have the strongest momentum of the German team, so every move of this team is very interesting.
“A lot of people said that after receiving the European Cup, the German team obviously became more confident, what do you think?”
Yang Cheng nodded, “This is affirmative. The European Cup is an honor, an inspiration, an affirmation, and getting the European Cup, let me and my players clearly see that as long as we are willing to work hard, we are also You can get everything you want, which will make us more fighting spirit, more persistent and more confident! “
“The German team is now on the right path. My hope for the team is that we can do better and always keep improving. Our goal is not only the European Cup, we also want the 2013 Confederations Cup , The World Cup in 2014! “
Won the World Cup, which is undoubtedly the rhetoric made by Yang Cheng when he just took over the German national team, but at that time, many people expressed doubts, but now, who dares to say that the German team does not have such strength and opportunity?
But there are still people who are dissatisfied with Yang Cheng ’s remarks, that is, the number one star of the Swedish national team, Ibrahimovic, the Swedish forward just after helping the team defeat the opponent, said in a high-profile, he Faced with the German team, it is not that they have no power at all. At least he is convinced that the team has a chance to win.
“I will definitely lead Sweden and defeat Germany to let everyone know that they are not strong enough to be invincible!”
For the provocation from the Swedes, Yang Cheng just smiled lightly, “I know that many people say Ibrahimovic is a beast, but I have arranged to capture his trap!”
