1006 Flashes of Genius

"Bosque has adjusted Spain's starting lineup in this game. The goalkeepers are Casillas, the defenses are Alba, Pique, de La Reed and Aveloa, the midfields are Iniesta, Xavi Alonso and Xavi. The frontcourt tridents are David Silva, Villa and Mata."

"The main central defender Ramos was injured in the game against Brazil. Although there have been frequent reports from the media that Ramos was not seriously injured and would continue to appear in this final, we can see that Boske did not arrange Ramos into the final roster, but let him sit on the bench."

As soon as the camera turned, you can see that Spanish players such as Ramos and Puyol, as well as some international players who were not on the roster, were sitting in the stands. It was obvious that his injury prevented him from participating in the game, so Bosque did not even let him in the bench.

"Drarede replaced Ramos' position, and in the midfield configuration, Bosque chose Xavi. The veteran Barcelona's performance is still stable and he is currently Barcelona's midfield core. I just don't know if he can help Xavi Alonso well in this game and complete control of the midfield."

The on-site commentator obviously also felt that after the midfield configuration changes, it should be the winner of this game.

"The German team's starting lineup has not been adjusted or changed much. The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is Ram, Badstuber, Hummels and Jerome Boateng, the midfield's double midfielder Schweinsteiger and Sven Bend, the attacking forwards are Thomas Muller, Ozil and Podolski, and the single striker is Klose!"

"Sven Bend was also injured after the match against Brazil and missed the semi-finals against Uruguay. Now we see him returning to the main position again. Yang Cheng trusts and relies heavily on this defender, and his appearance will inevitably strengthen the defense and interception of the German midfielder."

"In the right winger position, Yang Cheng's choice is Podolski. Reus, who has a stronger attack power, was placed on the bench by Yang Cheng. It is obviously a targeted strategy, because Spain's left back Alba was famous for assists before, and Yang Cheng used Podolski to play the right winger against the opponent, which was obviously to limit Alba."

When analyzing this, the on-site commentator also felt that the arrangement of the head coaches of both sides could also be said to be very targeted.

"These two teams can be said to be the best teams in the national team field in the past few years. The overall strength is strong. Both teams have appeared in almost all the finals of international competitions in the past, and they also have wins and losses. Now it depends on what the result of the two sides' reunion in this game will end."

"For Spain, whether the recombination of the midfield can maintain the stability of the team's control after Ramos is absent is the key to Spain's victory. Because if the advantage of the midfield is lacking, it will be difficult for Spain to create a threat to the German team's defense; and for the German team, whether their defense can withstand Spain's attack is also a big test!"

"In short, the showdown between these two teams is full of suspense, and it also makes fans all over the world look forward to this game!"

At this moment, the referee finally blew the whistle to start the final of the Federation Cup!

…………

…………

Yang Cheng expected Spain to actively attack after the start of the game. But he absolutely did not expect that Spain's attack would come so fiercely, so fast and ruthlessly, and it started from the moment the whistle sounded.

The first shot of the game occurred in the 41st second. After Spain made a series of passes and receiving, the ball advanced to the front of the German team's penalty area. Before Sven Bend formed a double-team, the ball passed the ball to Mata who cut in, who used his left foot to shoot a powerful shot at the front of the penalty area.

Although the shot ended up slightly off the post, it surprised everyone on the scene.

Yang Cheng was also shocked by this sudden shot and was a little scared, but he was mentally prepared for this. He knew that any possibility would exist in the face of a team like Spain, or even conceal the ball.

"Philip!" Yang Cheng walked to the sidelines. He called Ram's name and made a squeeze move at him, indicating that he should pay attention to maintaining a good position when facing Spanish attacks. Once the wing players get the ball, the first thing to do is to block their cut-in path and prevent them from pulling from the wing to the middle to get the ball to form a threat.

In the same sentence, if a counter-football player like Mata wants to limit his threat, he has to stop him from cutting inward.

Soon, the Spanish offensive came to the front of the German team's defense line again. They were so eccentric that they quickly gave the ball to Mata's feet, but this time, Ram's position was on the inside of Mata, preventing him from cutting inward. Mata was difficult to gain advantage from Ram in terms of speed and physical confrontation. The latter's one-on-one defense ability also made him afraid.

As a last resort, Mata chose to go to the bottom line, while Ram followed closely and followed the defense in the sideline of the penalty area. Mata's low cross was finally blocked by Ram and went out of the bottom line and corner kick.

When Xavi Alonso walked over and was about to take the corner kick, Neuer looked at Yang Cheng on the sidelines, who nodded to him because before the game, they made an appointment to give Neuer priority to the high ball and set ball in the penalty area, and Yang Cheng also conveyed this to the players before the game.

After getting Yang Cheng's approval, Neuer took a deep breath in his heart. He knew that if he wanted to take this step, he had to take the initiative, so he patted his hands hard and shouted loudly in German, "Let me do it!"

This sentence is equivalent to telling his teammates that this time he will take the initiative to attack.

The goalkeeper attacks, and writes down the word and says it, it is simple and easy, just a word, but it is really difficult and very difficult to do it. It is difficult for those who have never played the ball or guarded the goal to understand the difficulty.

The penalty area is 40 meters long and 16.5 meters wide. You can experience how big it is. When the opponent is taking a corner kick, people are everywhere in the penalty area. The main attacking team will calculate every inch of space in the front, middle and back of the penalty area into their attack range in terms of personnel arrangement, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of defense.

When the goalkeeper attacks, he usually considers the first landing point, because when he gets this landing point, all the opponent's attack methods will be resolved, but to get this point, the goalkeeper's ability to predict the landing point is very high.

Generally speaking, from the time it takes to the corner kick to the ball falling into the penalty area, the time should be about 2 seconds, or even shorter. Perhaps some people may be surprised. 2 seconds is not short, isn't it enough for the goalkeeper to react?

It's not just a simple reaction. When you see the ball path and determine the landing point of the ball, your body must also move to this area immediately. This requires a high level of response and coordination between the goalkeeper. Moreover, when the corner kick is being punished, there are people in the penalty area. When you move, you may be disturbed by the opponent's intentional arrangements, and even an own event of collision with your own people will occur.

Therefore, the goalkeeper's attack is not just a prediction of the landing point, nor is it just a movement of the body, but also a change in the penalty area. Especially after the ball is sent off, the movement changes of the personnel in the penalty area are considered very clearly, especially the position and movement of the opponent's main attacker.

This is a premeditated battle between active offense and passive defense. The goalkeeper's biggest advantage is that they can use both hands, while the opponent's players can only use parts other than their hands, so the goalkeeper's control range is larger. They only need to predict the landing point within a range that their hands can control. Then make every effort to ensure that they are not disturbed by their opponents during the movement.

The reason why I had to notify my teammates before was that my teammates knew that he wanted to attack. He had to cooperate and coordinate well to avoid the misunderstanding of his own collision with him.

In short, attacking seems simple, but in fact the test for a goalkeeper is comprehensive. It can even be said that a goalkeeper who guards the goal line is not a complete goalkeeper. Only by being good at and daring to attack can he be a complete goalkeeper.

When Xavi Alonso made a corner kick, Neuer saw that it was a high ball and the arc was not big, so he had a premonition that he would fall at the back point. When he made this prediction, his body was already retreating quickly, and his movement was in line with the gliding arc of the ball.

When the ball began to fall, Neuer had already reached the control range and saw Pique preparing to complete the last blow here. But Neuer jumped high, took the ball off Pique's head, grabbed it with both hands, and was firmly in his hands. When it landed, the ball was still firmly controlled by him.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that because he could clearly feel Pike's helpless expression and his teammates' expression full of surprise, excitement, and excitement. He was full of an emotion called a sense of accomplishment, as if the stone that had been suppressed in his heart had been moved away by him for a while.

"Counterattack!" Neuer grabbed the ball and moved quickly outside the penalty area. When he was about to leave the penalty area, he grabbed the ball with a big hand and threw it quickly to Ram's feet on the left, who quickly launched a counterattack from the left.

Standing at the front of the penalty area and watching the enemy and us rush towards the heart of Spain like a tide, Neuer straightened his waist. He was still excited and excited by the attack just now, as if he was stimulated.

He knew that he had finally taken the first step, a difficult step!

…………

"Jerome, Philip comes to grab it. Come back and come into the penalty area!"

When Spain launched another attack and Ram stepped forward to entangle Mata, Neuer looked to the left, but his eyes were still paying attention to the situation in front of him, and he made a sound to remind Jerome Boateng.

After hearing Neuer's call, the latter approached the middle. As soon as he came back, Hummels decisively stepped forward and intercepted a cross from Spain in the penalty area in advance, and broke the ball with his big foot.

Having ruined a Spanish attack, Hummels looked at Jerome Boateng and Neuer as he walked back, nodded, Neuer looked calm and nodded in response. After seeing Spain in the distance gain possession of the ball again and launching a wave of attacks, he immediately reminded his teammates.

After the opening, Spain's attack was very fierce, and it launched a fierce attack on the German team's defense line, causing a lot of trouble, making the German team's defense line tight. Once the ball is destroyed, Spain will quickly start pressing, grab the ball back, and then launch an attack again.

This is a typical tactic of using offense instead of defense, and such high-intensity pressing consumes a lot of physical energy.

"Sven, come back a little bit, Harvey is coming!"

"Jerom, look at Alba, he's on the right!"

Neuer has a broader vision. He is the last level of the team. The movements of the people in front are within his sight. When the ball enters the attack range, he is more concerned about the progress of the ball and observes the opponent's running. But once the ball enters the attack range, he will devote himself to the goalkeeper's defense.

There was a goalkeeper commanding the defense from the back, and to some extent, it helped the defense a lot. At least in the first 15 minutes of the game, Spain made a fierce attack, but it was never able to effectively pass the ball into the German team's penalty area. All this depends on the German team's defensive organization.

But no matter how strong the defense is, it will still be torn apart by the opponent.

When the game reached the 17th minute, Alba stepped forward and participated in the attack. David Silva and Iniesta supported him in the front. Alba was defended by Podolsky and had no choice but to pass the ball to David Silva.

Jerome Boateng stood on the road of David Silvanece. When he saw that there was no chance to cut inside, he chose to knock the ball across to Iniesta. At this time, Sven Bend was about to leave the position and go forward to defend Iniesta. But unexpectedly, Iniesta did not stick to the ball. After the ball came to his feet, it seemed to hit a wall, turned the direction and rebounded.

After passing the ball, David Silva began to rush to the baseline quickly. Iniesta's ball came to him, but Jerome Boateng also followed suit. David Silva got the ball again and knocked back. Iniesta inserted into the penalty area and caught the ball steadily.

At this time, Hummels made a defense and followed him immediately, but Iniesta cleverly used Hummels' movement when he stopped the ball. Taking advantage of his unheard of foothold, he got the ball and changed direction. He kicked the ball gently from Hummels' left side, allowing Hummels to pass through Hummels like a loach.

Iniesta and David Silva, in this narrow gap, played the tall and powerful man of the German team with almost juggling delicateness. Even in the end, Iniesta's extraordinary kick was light, ensuring that after he passed Hummels, he could quickly get the ball before everyone and form a single shot!

This series of technical cooperation completely goes beyond the scope of tactics and is purely a flash of personal genius. No one can do anything to them. Dear! If you think this site is good, please remember this site to help promote it! This site!
