Mexican football has always given people the feeling of being traditional or classical.

They are not tall, relatively short, and not outstanding in terms of physical fitness. To some extent, the skills of Mexican players are not outstanding. This is what Dos Santos, who was once known as the star of hope in Barcelona, ​​now has the current style of playing. The latter is a well-known technical player in the Mexican team...

But it is precisely such a team. When facing the competition between the American team with excellent physical fitness and high-speed, Mexico can be evenly matched for a long time. Even when facing top teams like Brazil, they are not at a disadvantage. They rely not on their physical and technology, but on the overall technology and collaborative combat capabilities of the team.

At the 2012 London Olympics, the Mexican National Olympic Team defeated Brazil and won the championship. The team also produced many hope stars. Now in this national team, the team's personal abilities may not be considered top-notch, but they are very solid, with fine technical details and good sense of ball, which makes their passes and receptions very good. The team's overall ball control and movement are very good. This is why Mexico can always achieve good results in the World Championships.

When holding an in-team meeting, Yang Cheng commented that Mexico is an enhanced version of Japan. The reason is that both teams emphasize passing and receiving cooperation, but Mexico is better in terms of technology and personal ability than Japan, which is enough to make any opponent feel a headache.

But Mexico's teams also have weaknesses, that is, their offensive characteristics are too single.

In recent years, football has undergone earth-shaking changes around the world, especially in terms of cultivating players, the traditional front midfielder has lost its position, which is the same in Mexico. However, in the traditional Mexican style, the front midfielder position plays a significant role, which has led to a talent gap at the core level of the Mexican national team.

It was difficult to produce a Dos Santos before. But later it was proved that these two brothers were cheating and never showed convincing core abilities. It was like the striker Carlos Bella who joined Arsenal at a young age, but in the end she failed to show her eye-catching ability. Instead, Hernandez, who later joined Manchester United, became the hope of scoring for the national team. From this point, it can also be seen that Mexican football is confused.

Losing the traditional midfielder. Mexico's football has turned to focus on breakthroughs and advancement on the wing. Mexico has a Guardado on the left. The player has excellent strength and skills. Barrera, a fast horse-type player on the right, plus Dos Santos, three people form an offensive phalanx behind Hernandez.

But when playing on the wing, Mexico did not have a decent high center forward to conquer the penalty area. This has also become a major shortcoming in Mexico's tactical level, making it difficult for their offense to create an effective threat. After all, Hernandez's body is there. Can he still ask him to compete with the tall and powerful defenders?

Another disadvantage of Mexico can also be reflected from Hernandez, that is, the gap in physical conditions.

Without further ado, just count how many players in Mexico are above 1.8 meters tall. The central defender in the team is former Barcelona defender Marcos, who is 1.82 meters tall.

The disadvantages in body shape often make the Mexican team suffer when they encounter tall and powerful teams.

Germany is undoubtedly the type of team that Mexico doesn't like to meet the most, because under Yang Cheng's training, this German team is not inferior to the Mexican team in terms of overall, technical and power confrontation.

Yang Cheng has always paid attention to knowing himself and his enemy. He has a deep study of the Mexican team and has a very thorough understanding of his own advantages. Therefore, he decided to play the advantages of his own team from the beginning in this game.

…………

De La Torre, after Mexico's 2010 World Cup in South Africa, after head coach Aguirre resigned, he hurriedly hired the coach. Compared with Aguirre, De La Torre has no glorious resume. His only result was to lead Guadalaja to the league championship in 2006.

But after taking office, Dela Torre completely changed the original image of the Mexican national team and collectively called prostitutes. Such a thing could no longer happen to Dela Torre's team. With this discipline and order, Dela Torre led the team to defeat the United States and won the North American Golden Cup championship.

Dela Torrei knew that fighting the United States, Brazil, and Argentina, no matter who it was, it was completely different from fighting against Germany in this game, because in this game, it was not someone else standing on his opponent's seat, but the world's number one coach, Yang Cheng.

Any head coach will feel a sense of pressure when facing him. Even when he meets Scolari's Brazilian team in the first game of the group, he has not been that great, because he seems to have a feeling that he cannot have any cover or secrets in front of Yang Cheng.

In order to prepare for this game, he has been working almost all night long in the past few days, studying the German team's tactics, thinking about how to restrain the overall and physical advantages of the German team, and then dragging the game into the most powerful situation against him.

"Be careful at the beginning. The German team has the advantage in strength. We must stabilize the situation first!" Dela Torre gestured to captain Marcos, who gave him a sign language to rest assured. Because when he was in Barcelona, ​​he had many competitions with Yang Cheng's team, so his fear of Yang Cheng was not as good as other teammates.

What Korra Torre did not expect was that from the beginning of the game, the German team had an unimaginable momentum.

If, in the past, the German team gave people the feeling that they first tried to stabilize the defense, then in this game, the German team actively pushed forward from the beginning, actively took offense, used their physical, technical, and overall advantages, and crushed the Mexican team's formation without any scruples from the beginning.

When the game just started, the German team launched the first attack. After receiving Ram's straight pass from the left, Thomas Muller took the ball and threw it away from the defensive player and cut inside. Ozil ran to the position he should have appeared to meet, allowing Thomas Muller to pass the ball to the middle before the opponent's double-team was formed.

At the moment when the ball was stopped by Ozil, the game had just started less than 20 seconds, and everyone in the Mexico team had not even done the preparations. Even their defense was not organized, and Marcos was unable to convey the head coach's intentions to his teammates. The German team's offense had already arrived at their doorstep.

Fast, this is everyone's first impression of the German team; accurate, this is the second impression that the German team's offense surprised the Mexicans, because when Marcos realized that he could not let Ozil take the ball at the front of the penalty area and faced the goal, he resolutely chose to save. At the same time, he let his teammates watch Thomas Muller and Klose, he saw Schweinsteiger.

At this moment, Marcos' third impression of the German team's attack after the start of the game came to his mind. It was fierce!

Too cruel, astonishingly ruthless as it is, and astonishingly ruthless as it is caught off guard!

Schweiingsteiger almost gave up his midfield mission and rushed forward quickly, as if he was not worried that the ball would be cut off by the Mexican team and then hit a counterattack. He almost urged himself to jump forward as fast as possible.

Ozil's position of holding the ball was clever. It was between the opponent's defense line and the midfield, so Marcos and his teammates organized a double-team ring for three people. But unexpectedly, Ozil first turned around and blocked Marcos who was robbing the ball with his back. After protecting the ball, he pushed the ball horizontally the moment before the opponent completed the double-team.

The ball was light and slow, but it appeared strangely at the step where Schweiingsteiger rushed forward.

I saw Schweiingsteiger who was inserted from behind without hesitation. He took advantage of his inertia to rush forward and supported his left foot, swung his right foot with the momentum, and pulled the ball with a fierce pull!

Just as he heard a bang, the nearly 50,000 fans in the stands of the Pernambucco Stadium in Recife could hear it clearly, as if the kick was thrusting in their hearts, and they could feel the power of the thrust from the loud bang.

The thunderous shot was shot from Schweinsteiger's feet. The ball was like a flash of lightning. It found a gap in Mexico's penalty area and drilled straight into the bottom corner of the goal, 1:0!

After Schweiingsteiger made the ball into the goal, he turned around excitedly and rushed out of the court, stretched out his arms wildly, and welcomed the cheers and cheers from the fans in the stands.

This goal not only surprised the fans present in the stands, but even the head coach of Mexico Dela Torre was shocked because he did not expect that the German team would start so fast and ruthlessly, and almost didn't give the Mexico team a chance to breathe at all, and directly brought the game into a fast-paced contest.

The goal was conceded in less than a minute of the game, which made Dela Torre panic. At least he knew from the beginning that conceding the ball first against the German team is fatal, because if the Mexico team wants to turn the situation around from the German team, it must be pushed out and played, but what is the German team best at?

Yang Cheng himself said that his German team’s favorite is to play defensive counterattack!

And this goal completely destroyed Dela Torre's tactics to prevent opposing the counter-countermeasures before the game, at least they were behind!

"What should I do?" the assistant coach walked over anxiously and asked.

Dela Torre frowned, walked to the sidelines, waved at Marcos, "We must stabilize the situation first, don't be in chaos!"

Marcos is also very experienced, and he knows that he encountered such a blow at the beginning. The first thing the team has to do is to stabilize the situation and never be confused, because if you are confused, the German team's chance will come.

Sure enough, less than 5 minutes have passed since the first goal, and in the past few minutes, neither Germany nor Mexico made any shots, so strictly speaking, this is the second attack of the German team.

This was a time when the ball was cut off after being passed to the German team's penalty area. The German team made a counterattack and a long diagonal pass was transferred to the right side of the Mexico penalty area. Reus, who replaced Podolski in this game, stopped the ball steadily on this side, quickly dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area with a 45-degree foot.

Reus's dribbling action attracted the defense of the Mexican team. Because they all knew that this dribbling ball that cut into the penalty area at 45 degrees from the ribs was not blocked, and once it was not blocked, it could directly kick the ball after entering the penalty area, forming a threat.

But just after the Mexico team's defensive attention was pulled by Reus, Reus kicked back when he entered the penalty area, and the ball was given to Ozil who was receiving the right side. The player once again moved to the space created by Reus. After receiving the ball steadily, he passed the ball horizontally.

Mexico's defense has been seriously tilted right, Kloze, Reus and Ozil are all on this side, and Thomas Muller is behind on the left side, and the left side of the middle has become a vacuum. Isn't this where Schweiingsteig scored just now?

"Dangerous!!!" Marcos was the first to react, because he was facing Schweiingsteiger, who rushed up again, and he rushed out immediately, but it was obvious. His reminder and reaction came too late.

It was almost the same place, almost the same position, and almost in the same way. After 5 minutes, Schweinsteiger once again took a powerful shot that was almost exactly the same as before, and the balls also drilled into the bottom corner of the goal, forming a goal again!

The excited and excited Schweiingsteiger rushed out of the court and jumped on the sidelines to celebrate. He hugged his teammates tightly, and in front of the live broadcast of the TV. He was celebrating his goal in a hurry.

2:0! Just 5 minutes into the game, Germany led Mexico by as many as 2 goals!

"Oh my god. Is the German team crazy in this game?" The live commentator made a surprise voice after Schweiingsteiger scored again, "Or, Mexico has been collectively infatuated in this game?"

"In 5 minutes, two shots were shot, two hits, and they all appeared in the same place strangely. In the same way, we could not describe these two goals in any way, but he did appear, and they both hit the target. The German team made two shots in the first game, showing a very high hit rate!"

The live TV camera replayed the whole process of the German team's two goals in repeated slow motion, and the live commentator was also watching the whole process seriously, and he did get some gains from it.

"We can find that the German team took advantage of the opportunity of Mexico's unstable foothold at the beginning and launched a rush attack very decisively and quickly. However, the German team's rush attack seemed to be heading towards the goal, but in fact they also have another purpose, which is to provide an unguarded area for Schweinsteiger who was inserted in the back."

"From the slow motion, we can see that when the two kicks, Schweinsteiger was on the left side of the arc in the penalty area. It is very suitable for his right foot to exert force, and the pass given by Ozil is also very comfortable. He almost doesn't need to adjust it when he comes up, and he just swung his foot and pulled it hard!"

When he arrived here, the commentator on the scene also praised him, "Two shots and two shots, Schweiingsteiger's head was tough today, his shot was very decisive and strong, and his shooting rate was also very good. It can be seen that Yang Cheng took a fancy to his outstanding shooting feeling, so he was the final player!"

Before the game, the German Football Association's official website had published training reports on interacting with fans, which mentioned that Yang Cheng specially played a shooting match. As a result, Schweinsteiger and Gomez were the players with the highest shooting efficiency and hit the most. This was not valued by fans before the game, and even many opponents were probably overlooked.

But what was unexpected was that the reason why Yang Cheng arranged a shooting game was to see the players' sense of shooting and status, which directly led Schweinsteiger to become the team's final scorer after the opening game, and the piglets did not disappoint everyone, making two shots and two hits, allowing the German team to determine a 2:0 lead in the 5th minute.

"Then it will be more and more unfavorable for Mexico, and the game will be more and more difficult to play, because they are now 2 goals behind. In addition, after the opening, their defense line was scattered by the German team, and their momentum was completely suppressed by the German team, which made them completely lose any initiative in the game."

The live TV footage happened to be given to Dela Torre on the sidelines. He lives in the coaching seat of the Mexico team. He looks helpless and confused, and it is obvious that he still can't figure out what happened after the opening game, what mistakes he made, and he actually loses so badly.

"Now, for the Mexicans, the most important thing is to wake up from the attack and goal storm created by the German team as soon as possible, and stabilize the situation and position as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to threaten the German team in this game, and it will be difficult for them to see the chance of winning again."

After the opening game, the German team will naturally maintain this advantage and initiative, while Mexico will be in a mess. No matter how Dela Torre arranges it next, it will be difficult to reverse the initiative of the game again.

The possibility of getting back 2 goals from the German team with such a strong defense without being sneak attacked and counterattacked is almost zero!

It is precisely because everyone, including Mexican players and their head coaches, and even the fans in the stands, know this very clearly, so the result of this game has lost its suspense from the 5th minute.

"Yang Cheng, it's really Yang Cheng! It's not easy to win Mexico in 5 minutes!!"

In the stands at the Pernambro Stadium, Scolari also appeared in the stands with his assistant to watch the game, and this is his evaluation of Yang Cheng!
Chapter completed!
