Attacking can be said to be a compulsory course for a goalkeeper!

The defense on the football field is actually very interesting. If you study it carefully and think about it, it is not difficult to find that it is actually full of profound truths. As a head coach, how to choose a goalkeeper is a test of the head coach's skills, or it can be said that the goalkeeper determines the success or failure of a defense line!

Modern football defense is just one sentence after all, compressing the opponent's offensive space.

What should I do if there is room between the traditional central avant-garde and the defense line? The central avant-garde retreats and becomes a midfielder to fill this space!

What should I do if there is room between the central defender and the goalkeeper?

Could it be that the central defender retreated and the scavenger's position? Or, move the goalkeeper forward?

Equipping a suitable goalkeeper for the defense line or forming a suitable defense line for the goalkeeper is where the head coach is tested, because how to coordinate the relationship between the defense line and the goalkeeper undoubtedly requires skill.

He has strong frontal defense ability, but his turn speed is slow, his body lacks flexibility, and he is easily beaten by the central defender behind him. It is best to have a goalkeeper with a large control range, which is commonly known as a goalkeeper with strong attack ability, and then maintain a good distance between the central defender and the goalkeeper, and hand the ball behind him to the goalkeeper to attack to solve the problem.

If the slow central defender encounters a goalkeeper on the goal line, what should I do? Then I can only arrange the defense line as far as possible and keep a distance. I cannot expose a gap between the defense line and the goalkeeper, but this is always just a theoretical choice.

A team like Spain with a small and quick-witted team. Because they have been actively attacking for a long time, the goalkeepers they come out are basically goalkeepers with strong attacking ability. Although such goalkeepers occasionally have a bit of nerves, they can only choose such goalkeepers, which is purely due to tactics and environment.

If a team like Spain finds a goalkeeper similar to Van der Sar during the Manchester United era, the result will be tragic. Because in order to ensure defense, they will not dare to press too much on the back line, and the pressure in the midfield and frontcourt will be insufficient.

So, like a team like the German team, the centre-back Badstuber and Hummels are both high-powered central defenders with strong front defense ability and insufficient turn and defense behind them. The speed of back pursuit is slow. Such a central defender combination needs to be equipped with a goalkeeper with strong attack ability and large control range.

Look at the German team's previous goalkeepers, Kahn, Schumacher, and Ilgena, are all goalkeepers of this type.

After joining Bayern, Neuer was always worried about gains and losses in the issue of attack, which led to his frequent deviations in the timing of choosing attack, causing some mistakes, but this was definitely not a problem with his strength, but a psychological level. Because he did not have such a problem when he was Schalke 04.

Yang Cheng organized a fan-shaped defensive system in the German national team. His purpose was actually to strive to expand the defense area and allow the team to steadily push forward while ensuring the stability of the defense. But after some games and getting familiar with it, he found that there was a lot of problem, that is, the goalkeeper's control range was not large enough.

There is no goalkeeper with a large control range to fill the space behind the defense line, which is absolutely deadly!

Some people may also say that Neuer often breaks out of the penalty area in the Bundesliga, which is called the control range not large enough?

You should know that this is the range of activity, not the control range!

The goalkeeper's control range is that when the ball enters the penalty area, he is confident enough to defend it!

This requires attack, and attack requires prediction of the ball path, prediction of the situation, and prediction of all possible situations. Another very important thing is the timing!

Or you should say that, how far away the opponent is from you, how fast he moves, how many steps you have to run to be just right. When he dribbles into a gap, you just step on the step point, fall to the ground or move, and save the ball.

You can imagine, if you don’t step on it and have no place to leverage your legs, how do you move? If the ball is at the opponent’s feet and he sees you attacking, and one move will pass you over. How can you defend?

All these require instant judgments, and instantly converting these judgments into your own actions on the football field!

It was as if this time, when Neuer saw Hummels pounce, he noticed Iniesta's actions. He felt that something was wrong, because Hummels' pounce was too strong. Usually, such a blockade would be easily used once the opponent was guarded against, and in turn lost his position and was passed by the opponent.

So after Neuer saw Hummels grabbing, he realized the danger. When Iniesta passed Hummels, he had already made the decision to attack and rushed out of the goal in an instant.

At this moment, there was only the ball in his eyes because he knew that Iniesta's actions had nothing to do with him. The next challenge to him was whether he could block the ball before Iniesta. This was a war between him and the ball.

His steps were firm and fast, and he stepped on the point every step. He trained this step almost every day during training, and then he fell to the point he was familiar with, just like the movements he performed during training, falling to the ground and poking the ball with both hands!

This simple movement is repeated every day, and he has done countless times, making many feelings and experiences. Di Palma repeatedly trains his feelings and senses of the ball. He knows clearly what postures to take in this situation and how to prevent Iniesta from kicking the ball into the empty goal behind him.

His hands first hit the ball. Before Iniesta's shot could be done, Neuer saved the ball, while the Spanish superstar had no choice but to stop and cross Neuer, unwilling to end this attack!

In an instant, tens of thousands of German fans in the stands of the Maracana Stadium were in an uproar. They rushed from their seats involuntarily, clutching the fence in front with their hands tightly. They grabbed the flag pole in their hands, clasped their fists tightly, opened their voices, and shouted loudly!

At this moment, Yang Cheng on the sidelines also raised his hands at the first time to clap Neuer's beautiful attack!

Prediction, calm and decisive, predict the enemy's initiative; standard action. It can be written into a textbook; the timing is just right, making Iniesta come back without success. Neuer's attack is brilliant!

"A very, very, very wonderful attack and save! Manuel Neuer from Germany's goalkeeper!"

The on-site commentators also praised Neuer's attack. This was not only a key save to stop Spain's goal, but also a key attack to attack Spain's offensive morale and inspire the German team's fighting spirit.

"Manuel Neuer, this attack allows us to see his strength at a critical moment. He is another proud disciple carved out by Deepalma again. You know, the Italians have cultivated excellent goalkeeper coaches including Buffon, Reiner, Casillas and other world-class goalkeepers, and are also Yang Cheng's hardcore team!"

The slow motion was repeated, replaying Neuer's save from multiple different angles, very decisive and determined, and the timing was just right. This was definitely an impressive attack, and it could even be said to be the best save in this Federation Cup.

Climbed up from the ground. Neuer grabbed the ball with both hands and looked forward. What he felt was the praise from his teammates, and he also felt that as the game progressed, his teammates trusted him more and more, which made him feel excited.

"Ah~~~~~~~" Neuer grabbed the ball with both hands and roared in the direction of Spain, looking like an angry lion, "Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack!!! Counterattack!!!"

After that, Neuer threw the ball in his hand to Badstuber, who immediately quickly transferred the ball to Spain's left and handed it to Thomas Mueller, and made a counterattack.

Seeing Neuer like this, Yang Cheng on the sidelines showed a gratifying smile, because he knew that after so long, after joining Bayern, Neuer finally began to explode. The sleeping lion was finally about to show his wildness. This is a good thing for him, Bayern, or the German national team!

"This kid finally revealed his nature!" Benitez also praised Neuer.

Paul Bayer was also happy because they could all feel that a more proactive, aggressive and control-wide Neuer will be of great help to the current defense of the German team and will make the team stronger.

"You are still great. What Deepalma hasn't done in the past three years has been done by you for a few words!"

Yang Cheng shook his head, "I did nothing. I just asked him to release the Bengal tiger that he was imprisoned in the cage by himself, but the premise is that he still needs such a tiger in his heart!"

It can be seen that Neuer's progress and transformation have made Yang Cheng and other coaching teams feel relieved and happy.

…………

Changing the situation of a game can be a goal, a steal, or a strike and save. No one can predict what it will be. This is the interesting thing about a football game.

After Neuer saved Iniesta's single shot, Spain's attack seemed to be cursed.

Spain is as strong as ever, their offense is as aggressive as ever, their advancement is very fast, and the German team's defense is very tightly organized, but the oppression and large-scale pulling tactics frequently create loopholes, which gives Spain frequent opportunities.

In the previous 45 minutes, Spain completed a total of 7 shots, which did not include Iniesta's one-on-one shot, but unfortunately, Spain's shot only hit the goal frame once, which happened in the 36th minute. Villa made a shot in the penalty area, but Neuer steadily occupied the position. Villa's shot was more like kicking the ball directly into Neuer's arms, and the latter was not as respectful as a smile.

With such a strong attack from Spain, the German team seemed to have no strength to counterattack. They only had one counterattack in the first half to cause a shot, but they hit Spain's goal, which was a pity. Casillas also put Thomas Muller's shot into his arms, and the Germans did not get a little cheaper from him.

7:1, such a number of shots is enough to show the situation of these two teams in the first half. Spain is also far ahead in terms of ball possession rate, and even they once pushed the ball possession rate to a high of 72.7%. The passiveness of the German team can be imagined.

"Compared with the European Cup final a year ago, the final of the Federation Cup is more open. The German team is no longer limited to their own threatening defenses. They have expanded the defense scope, which has also given Spain a lot of opportunities."

"However, we should also see that although Spain has an absolute advantage and initiative, Bosque's team has a ball possession rate, but when it advances to the threat area of ​​the German team, it has never been able to convert the ball possession into a threat. They only have 7 shots. Compared with the advantages they have, it is not much."

"I think the reason for this is simple. The German team consciously gave up the ball and initiative in the first half. They chose to counterattack defensively to get rid of Spain's offensive spirit, so they gathered heavy troops in the middle defense, allowing Spain's offense to lack the middle penetration."

"Let's look at another set of data. In the first half of this game, Spain's crosses alone were as high as 17 times. However, their success rate of finding their teammates was only pitiful 2 times, and there were no threats. Most of the crosses fell into the penalty area and were easily confiscated by Neuer!"

"Neul's performance in this game was absolutely eye-catching, very impressive, and he definitely showed the level of a world-class goalkeeper. And now he seems to be getting more and more in shape, more confident, more decisive and calm. Spain's offense is losing threat in front of him again and again."

"This also made the German team's defense very strong. At least Spain tried to break into the 32-meter area of ​​the German team for as many as 39 attempts, and 21 successes were made. Among these 21 attempts, the number of attempts to break into the German team's penalty area was only 15 times, and 3 times were made. It is conceivable that Spain's offensive efficiency is very low!"

"Of course, the reason for this situation cannot be just to blame Spain for its poor offense. As the team with the best offensive ability in the world, Spain's offensive ability does not need to be said more. The only thing we say is that the German team's defense is too solid. This team that has never conceded the ball in the Federation Cup is really excellent in defense!"

"Yang Cheng has always given people the feeling that he has excellent training and offense, but from this German team, we have clearly seen that Yang Cheng has created an unbreakable steel defense line for the German national team, making the defense of this German team solid!

While the commentator was talking on the spot, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half. Everyone could see that the German team walked out of the stadium with something to gain, while the Spanish internationals looked depressed.

"Now, for Boske, during the halftime period, one of the things he needs to do most is to re-energize the morale of the team. To do this, the best way is to give a way to tear the German team's defense and let the players see the hope of breaking the opponent's goal again."

"If this continues, it will be difficult for Spain to ensure the situation in the second half. At least we should not forget that in the semi-finals of Brazil, Spain's physical fitness was not continued at the last moment, and the German team took a day off and had more physical fitness. In this case, Bosque's team can't afford to drag it down!"

"In contrast, Yang Cheng's German team, we also really hope to see Caesar be able to effectively adjust his tactics during the half-time break. Although the first half was fierce and not dull, it was relatively not open enough. We hope that Yang Cheng can adjust the team's tactics in the second half and effectively counterattack. It is best to press it out and play, bring us a wonderful good goal!"

At the end, the live commentator couldn't help laughing.

Almost most fans who are paying attention to this Federation Cup have only one biggest wish, that is, to watch a refreshing battle and a palace-level contest at the highest level in football today.

The first half was of high standard and sufficient technical and tactical content, but there was still a certain gap between the top level in the fans' minds, so they naturally hope that the German team can play more openly.

But from a pragmatic perspective, Spain has the advantage in strength and the German team plays against Spain. Then Yang Cheng’s idea is really a problem, which is equivalent to using his own weaknesses to touch other people’s strengths. It is purely lighting the lights in the toilet and seeking death!

But who dares to say that Yang Cheng doesn’t have such an idea?

When they returned to the locker room of the German national team, everyone looked excited because they did not concede the goal in the first half and completed Yang Cheng's tasks and arrangements almost perfectly. This means that everything that happened in the first half was under Yang Cheng's control, and even better than the situation he expected.

This made all the German internationals look excited and happy, and they are communicating loudly in the locker room, talking about what happened on the court, and having some communication and communication with each other.

Until Yang Cheng pushed open the locker room door and walked in, everyone calmed down and looked at his head coach unanimously.

With a confident smile, Yang Cheng's smile was very contagious, which made many people laugh involuntarily.

"Everyone did a good job in the first half!" Yang Cheng smiled and praised. The players laughed and laughed.

"Spain fought in the first half, and its physical energy consumption was almost done, so everyone..." Yang Cheng raised his brows, revealing confidence and smile, and he was confident and confident, "...It depends on us in the second half!"
