996 The key to defeating Germany
Many fans say that Scolari is a typical representative of utilitarian football. His tactics are conservative and traditional, he pays great attention to defense, and has poor ornamentality, but he himself has no awareness of this and has always adhered to his own style of conduct.
"Only the head coach who leads the team to win can be considered a good coach!"
This is Scolari's creed, and he always follows this creed and does things. Even when a Portuguese reporter asked him, "Did Yang Cheng's success give you inspiration, and does it give you the urge to change your football philosophy?", the fat Fili nodded with a smile.
"Yes, Yang Cheng was very, very successful in Real Madrid, and he also gave me a great inspiration, that is, if he didn't win so many games, if he didn't win so many championships, then he is nothing now!"
You can do anything to win. This is Scolari's style of behavior. He can play conservatively and as long as he can win, he can also play relatively openly. If there is such a need, it can be said that Scolari is the kind of head coach with a very varied and very tactical nature.
Different formations, different players, different opponents, different changes, everything seems to have become his props and weapons to win the game for Scolari, who has been immersed in his coaching career for more than 20 years.
Brazil's most authoritative professional newspaper, Lance Sports, once described Scolari like this, and what's interesting is that the evaluation criteria are still Yang Cheng.
"From the standards and perspective of a woman, between Yang Cheng and Scolari, I will definitely choose Caesar without hesitation before I was 40 years old, because such a man is interesting, romance, knows how to create atmosphere, and knows how to please you. He is an almost perfect man, but the problem is that such a man always faces too many competitions from outstanding women."
"After the age of 40, I will choose Scolari because he is the kind of person you can feel at ease. Although he seems to be uninteresting and difficult to give you the feeling of being in love, he is with such a man. Be at ease because you will always know that you are his only choice!"
It is hard to say whether this is evaluating Yang Cheng and Scolari's football philosophy, or their behavior, or both, but I know that this joke is popular in Brazil and has been widely spread among the fan groups.
Now, when the live commentator saw Scolari appearing in the stands at the Pernambuko Stadium, he couldn't help but say this in a joke tone, wanting to share this interesting comment with fans all over the world.
It was just obvious that Scolari didn't know all this, and he was always paying attention to the German team's every move.
Scolari has been very clear from the time he learned about the group and the German team. The German team will be Brazil's biggest enemy because he went to the scene to watch the European Cup finals between Germany and Spain. The German team's defense left a deep impression on him in that game.
After the game, he highly praised the German team's defense in his column, believing that their players' movements seemed to have passed precise distance and time calculations. The moving route was like a cutting knife, cutting Spain's passing route into pieces and cutting Spain's push route.
Scolari expected that the German team would become stronger and more difficult to play, but after he came to Pernambuko Stadium in person to watch the German and Mexico game, he suddenly realized that he had underestimated the German team's progress.
"The Mexican team is completely finished in this game!" The old man sitting next to Scolari is the current technical director of the Brazilian national team and the former World Cup champion coach Pereira.
Some people say that the reason why the Brazilian Football Association has re-required Scolari and Pereira to enter the palace again this time, and even let them perform double insurance, is that one of the important ambitions is to make a difference in the 2013 Federation Cup and the 2014 World Cup, and it is best to win the championship at your doorstep.
"It's impossible to reverse!" Scolari shook his head and sighed. If Mexico could defeat the German team, the pressure would be much smaller for Brazil. At least Scolari was not willing to meet Yang Cheng and his German team.
"The initiative has been lost, and the rest is just one breath, and Mexico has completely defeated!"
While they were talking, they saw the German team launching another attack. This time Ozil pulled the ball to the right again to get the ball. Facing the defensive player who was flying up, he made a dexterous fake move and made a move to volley the goal. After tricking the blocked defensive player, he cleverly passed the ball to the left. After Thomas Muller blocked the defensive player with his body, he directly volleyed at close range to hit the ball, and scored the ball into the Mexico goal, 3:0!
At this time, the game had just reached the 32nd minute!
"Ozil is a player with a strong mobile ability and is very smart. When he is alone, he can't play many threats. Whether it's taking the ball or personal skills, there is no big threat. It's easy to defend, but once players gather around him, help him pull the defense line and create gaps, his threat will appear!"
Pereira is an old man, and he suddenly saw what Ozil is best at. Of course, he may have watched reports about Ozil before, so he was able to keenly find out Ozil's strengths.
"The three goals were all assisted by Ozil, and the three goals had a very obvious feature, that is, the players around him pulled, Ozil ran to the space to catch the ball and then made the ball. His shot was secret, and it could even be said to be weird, with a fast speed, and he tore the defense line in an instant!"
When we arrived here, Pereira looked solemn, "If we can't limit him, then it will be difficult for us to defend against the German team's attack!"
When Pereira analyzed, Scolari always watched the game, but this did not mean that he was not listening. On the contrary, Scolari could hear every word Pereira clearly and remember it in his heart. Both of them had the same judgment.
That is, Ozil who runs to catch the ball, the threat is the greatest!
"This German team's running without the ball is too smart, and it's hard to defend!" Scolari replied with a frown.
After hearing this, Pereira smiled and looked at the game with admiration. At least in the eyes of this respected old coach, Yang Cheng's German team is undoubtedly a very respectable opponent and the biggest test for the Brazilian team. His responsibility is to use all his best to help Scolari defeat the German team.
"I have read the book by Yang Cheng. Many things are well said and thoroughly, such as the control of rhythm, which is fast and slow, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and it is indeed changing. Mexico died at this point in this game. After the start, he was stunned by the German team's fast-paced offensive storm, resulting in the loss of the entire game!"
"But this does not mean that the German team is a perfect team. Compared with Yang Cheng's phenomenal Real Madrid, this German team can only be considered a broken beauty. When they play double midfielder, there are obvious problems in the process of changing pace from slow to fast, so Yang Cheng is now turning to a long pass from the backcourt to a diagonal attack."
After hearing this, Scolari smiled, "It seems that we all think of going together!"
"This should be the most effective way to restrain the German team, that is, to make them unable to get up!" Pereira also smiled and nodded.
It is undoubtedly a very exciting thing to be able to compete face-to-face with tactical masters like Yang Cheng, and the win or loss of the game is the same. However, this kind of real-life battle in strategizing has made famous coaches like Pereira and Scolari feel inexplicably excited.
Looking at today's football world, there are not many head coaches who can be seen by them!
Of course, it is not that they can win the opponent steadily, because a football game will never be won by the head coach, and the game will be won. There are often many games, and the head coach will win, but the score will be lost because the loss depends on execution and game variables.
"It is difficult to create a threat for a German team that cannot get fast!" Pereira said in a word.
In the eyes of Scolari and others, the current German team is completely different from the Galaxy Battleships created by Yang Cheng before, and the biggest difference lies in personal abilities.
Every player in Real Madrid is selected as the world's top superstars, which gives Real Madrid players excellent personal abilities, one-on-one, one-to-many, and all of them are good at this group of superstars in Real Madrid.
But the German team is different. There are no superstars in the German team, but German players have a nearly natural team attribute aura. They are almost born with a team collaboration ability. By running in a group of teams, they can produce chemical effects and exert combat effectiveness that they do not have when fighting alone.
But this does not mean that the German team's problem will be weakened. At best, it can only be said to be covered up on a tactical level.
Because the German team does not have the personal ability of a superstar and does not have the kind of player who can break the deadlock when restricted, Yang Cheng has made it clear from the beginning that he pursues team cooperation and pursues more flexible off-ball running, so as to cover up his personal ability shortcomings and also plays out Germany's traditional advantages.
It can be said that under Yang Cheng's training, the German team's ability to advance to the front of the penalty area is already the best in the world. The biggest problem of this team is how they break the opponent's iron wall when the ball reaches the front of the penalty area once they face the opponent's tight defense.
The lack of one-on-one breakthrough ability and the lack of individual ability to get rid of is an objective flaw of this group of players in the German team!
Yang Cheng also gave many measures. One was to use Klose to suppress Gomez, who was a pure shooter and lacked the flexible running awareness and the awareness of passing and receiving the ball. The other was to attack diagonally, from the wing to both sides of the opponent's penalty area, then pull the defense line and then cut in. This was still a way of team cooperation.
But to do this for these two days, there must be a prerequisite, hurry up!
Everyone knows that fast is easier to create time difference than slow, and it is easier to create loopholes, and it is more difficult to assist the opponent in preventing and filling up positions and blocking them. Therefore, the German team's offense is based on the word "fast".
Without speed, team cooperation will never create much threat!
Just imagine a team that constantly passes and receives the ball. Is it possible to slowly pass the ball into the opponent's penalty area without speed and efficiency? Defensive players can easily block their passing routes, which is impossible to achieve in a strong dialogue!
So, Pereira said that the German team that can't get fast is not scary. This is not wrong!
If you give Yang Cheng a Messi, you don’t even need Messi, Kaka and Ronaldo at the level. Just give him a player with excellent personal abilities and can fight alone to break through the opponent’s defense, such as Robben and Ribery. As long as there is such a player, this German team is definitely the strongest in the world, no one!
But it’s also a pity that Germany is still Germany after all, this is an objective fact that no one can change.
"If..." Scolari also affirmed Pereira's judgment, "Klose's condition has declined sharply, and it will be difficult for Yang Cheng's German team to achieve good results in the World Cup!"
The tactics of no front are good, but if there is an effective penalty area fulcrum, the German team will lose another weapon to break the deadlock, which is equivalent to providing the opponent with a weapon to freeze the German team's offense.
"So. Yang Cheng still has to pray to God and Buddha. Kloze must not be injured or deteriorated!" Pereira also smiled.
There are so many things that anyone with some knowledge can easily see at a glance. The German team's problems have always been no secret, and Yang Cheng himself is very clear about this.
Looking at the series of actions after Yang Cheng took office, he gave up the active offensive tactics he had advocated in the past because he knew that it was impossible to solve the problem of insufficient personal ability, so he chose to rely on defense to win the championship. This is also a kind of compromise. At least when I can't break your defense line, I can guarantee that you won't break my defense line!
"Sometimes, this kid really makes us not admire you!" Pereira smiled slightly when she saw Yang Cheng on the sidelines and said with appreciation. The more he looked at this guy, the more he liked him.
There is a skill in training and offense, and there is also a skill in training and defense. More importantly, he is not the kind of person who is extremely stubborn. On the contrary, he is very sleek and knows how to adapt. He does not stubbornly stick to his own things, but changes according to local conditions.
"But, no matter what, his Union Cup road is doomed to end in failure!" Scolari smiled confidently.
After finding the loopholes in the German team and finding targeted tactics and arrangements, Scolari has absolute confidence that his team can defeat the German team because this is what he is best at!
…………
…………
Yang Cheng obviously didn't know that there were two old guys in the stands who were commenting on him. If he knew, he might be better than the middle finger, but he didn't know, so he still commanded the game as he pleased.
The first half ended 3-0, and the German team entered the halftime with a huge advantage.
In the second half, Mexico still failed to emerge from the shadow of the tragic blow after the German team started. At least Yang Chengyi knew that if he wanted to get out of this shadow, Mexico might have to wait until the Federation Cup ended before slowly reflecting on it.
In the second half, the German team took the initiative again. Thomas Muller and Ram played two-way and one-on-one on the left. Ozil was ambushed at the front of the penalty area. After Ram dribbled the ball and cut inside, he came out to ask for the ball. The ball was comfortably given to Ozil's feet. After the latter took the ball, he turned around and kicked the ball directly. The ball seemed to have eyes, and passed through Mexico's entire defense line and drilled straight into the penalty area. Klose had already ambushed in the penalty area, and he achieved it in one go, neatly and neatly!
4:0!
All the German fans in front of the TV in the stands of the Pernanbuco Stadium were completely crazy!
If the first game of the group stage was against Japan and won 5:0 and the German team was still bullying the weak team, then the game against Mexico and won 4:0 again, and the German team can be said to be an overwhelming victory in strength.
The German fans all celebrated the same as the festival, cheering, but they all knew clearly that the key to winning this game was not only Ozil, who played the assists, but also their head coach.
"Caesar!" "Long live!"
"Caesar!!" "Long live!!"
"Caesar!!!" "Long live!!!"
All the German fans shouted in unison, and they all knew that the German team could play so smoothly in two consecutive games, and the biggest contributor behind the scenes was their head coach.
In this game, after the start of the game, this is the tactic set by Yang Cheng before the game. Even who is responsible for the promotion, who is responsible for pulling, who is responsible for passing, and who is responsible for the final shot, Yang Cheng arranged it very delicately, and the two goals were exactly the same, which shows Yang Cheng's coaching ability and level.
Yes, players are the executors of the game, and they are the key to the team's victory, but as head coaches, without Yang Cheng's behind the scenes planning and commanding behind the scenes, there would be no such game.
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the German team was obviously very excited. All the German fans stood up and shouted Yang Cheng's name. Even the players rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the victory with Yang Cheng.
"In two group matches, Germany scored 9 goals and conceded 0 goals. This record is surprising. Their strong attack power and excellent condition are incredible. They are definitely the number one favorite to win the championship in this Federation Cup, and even Spain is not as good as them!"
"We have enough reason to look forward to this German team, and Yang Cheng will be known all over the world again for this German team!"
But just as the live commentator praised Yang Cheng and the German team for a round, Scolari and Pereira returned from the Pernambuko Stadium with a full load. They had found and clarified the tactical style of the match against the German team, and they also found the key to defeating the German team.
For the first and three consecutive wins in the group, Scolari is determined to win!
Chapter completed!
