I believe that when everyone gets the starting roster between Germany and Uruguay, they will definitely be surprised and puzzled by Yang Cheng's choice, and even wonder whether Yang Cheng decided to give up this game?

Veteran Klose was hidden by Yang Cheng and was not even arranged to be on the roster. Yang Cheng had already given a clear statement at the pre-match press conference. He felt that Klose needed some time to adjust his physical condition...

The other Sven Bend, who was diagnosed with illness after playing against the Brazilian team, did not appear on the roster this time. Although he had been resting for two days and started resuming training again, Yang Cheng also left him in the stands this time without putting him on the roster.

Another person who failed to get the starting position was the midfielder Ozil, whose position was replaced by Gotze. However, some reporters believe that the reason why Yang Cheng arranged this way was actually to prepare for the finals, but is he so confident in playing against Uruguay?

In this game, Yang Cheng lineup was Neuer, the goalkeepers were Ram, Badstuber, Hummels and Jerome Boateng, the three midfielders were Schweinsteiger, Tony Klos and Lars Bend, and the tridents in the frontcourt were Thomas Muller, Gotze and Reus.

Klose failed to start, but Yang Cheng still did not choose Gomez. This can be seen from a certain extent that he is not satisfied with the current German team's forward configuration, which is no longer news. As early as 2012, many people have speculated that Yang Cheng would adjust the forward, but he has never taken action.

The lineup that Yang Cheng lined up looks very attacking and very offensive, but he lost Klose, Ozil, and Sven? Bend, can the German team continue to maintain that strong momentum?

Such worries began to arise when everyone saw the roster. They remained until the start of the game and had not relaxed until the 27th minute of the game, and the German team took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the court.

This was an attack launched from the left. Ram dribbled the ball by himself on the left and tore open the Uruguay team's defense line. After entering the Uruguay half, he passed the ball across the middle. After passing it two consecutive feet, Lars Bend inserted the ball and suddenly shot with a fury.

This shot was 30 meters away from Uruguay's goal. But Lars Bend's long shot was very powerful, which scared the Uruguay goalkeeper quickly saved. Although he finally saved the ball, he failed to catch it. Thomas Mueller, who was inserted behind, successfully counterattacked and steadily shot the ball in front of him and pushed it into the net, 1:0!

After scoring the first goal, Uruguay took the lead in launching a counterattack.

There is an interesting part of the midfield configuration of the German team in this game, that is, the three midfielders are Tony Kloss in the center, but the position is relatively backward. Schweinsteiger and Lars Bend are both in front, and the three players stand in triangles and run, like they are embedded in the midfield hinterland of Uruguay.

Ram and Jerom Boateng are also relatively ahead of their positions, forming a strong and powerful pressure on Uruguay's midfield, cutting off the ball path of Uruguay's midfield and making their midfield and frontcourt disconnected.

Tabares took the forward's midfield route, but after Cavani retreated, the German team's defense slammed Suarez. Fran was already older, and his physical and condition had long lived up to his courage. This made it difficult for Uruguay to create an effective threat in front of the German team's defense.

After all, he was a world-class coach in South America. Tabares quickly realized this problem. He began to retract, keep the distance between the three lines, and avoid the three lines being split by the German team. This has indeed played a certain role to some extent.

But while curbing the German team's offense, their own offense was also resolved by the German team and they never had a threatening offensive opportunity. With the German team scoring the first goal, Uruguay began to shrink its defense, and the scene became an overwhelming situation where one side attacked and the other side defended.

If it weren't for the goal just now, Yang Cheng might have a little headache now, but now he is firmly sitting on the Diaoyutai and has not even made adjustments during the halftime break, allowing Uruguay to continue to defend.

Seeing that the game time passed by minute by minute, Yang Cheng still had no movement. Uruguay could no longer sit still. He began to try to push out and fight again, and began to stretch the formation and actively press forward to the attack.

In the 66th minute, after Thomas Muller and Ram formed a cooperation on the left, the latter dribbled the ball and cut horizontally to the front of the penalty area, and transferred it to Gotze who ran to the gap. The German young player was very determined and kicked the ball directly, but the ball hit the opponent's defender and rebounded. Tony Klos inserted the ball and passed it straight through the ball with a precise pass, passing it into the penalty area from the gap exposed in the Uruguay defense line. Reus inserted and cut into the penalty area and scored a single goal, 2:0!

With two goals ahead, the German team seems to be sure to win!

At this time, Uruguay could no longer be conservative, and Tabares could only make the final effort, while the German team took advantage of the victory and fought a round of offensive against Uruguay after scoring the goal.

It turns out that when the forward's ball path is cut off and the forward's retreat to the midfield tactics lead to the isolation of the front line, it is very wise to retreat to the defense and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. If Tabares insisted on this tactic from the beginning, there might be a chance, but with the German team's successive goals, they were forced to come out and play.

But the problem is that once Uruguay presses out and plays, the ball's path will be blocked by the opponent. The German team arranged Schweiingsteiger and Lars Bend to intercept this area specifically, and the purpose is very clear.

Cavani became a constant retreat and participated in defense, and stepped forward to participate in the ball promotion. He was both a father and a mother. In the end, there was no way. Suarez had to come back with him. Fran was alone in front, without support and no threat.

In the 72nd minute, Hummels intercepted the ball from Fran's feet and handed it to Badstuber. The latter made a diagonal pass to find Reus. After the German striker successfully counterattacked, he drove the ball and ran wildly. Finally, he passed the ball to the left of the penalty area. Thomas Muller inserted a header and scored, scoring, breaking the goal of Uruguay again, 3:0!

At this time of the game, everyone had already clearly realized that Uruguay's seven inches were pinched to death by the German team. One of the important reasons why Yang Cheng dared to arrange for Klose, Ozil and Sven in such a game was that he knew very clearly how to restrain Uruguay's tactics.

…………

…………

"Everyone said that Yang Cheng is a master of offensive football. His offensive training methods are superb. Any team can make amazing attacks in his hands. If anyone with a little tactical qualities knows that the so-called offense is actually promoting the ball path of coaching and combining the teams."

"In this regard, Yang Cheng is definitely a master-level figure, so from this game, we can clearly see that despite Yang Cheng's large rotation, he still locked Uruguay's fatal hole, which curbed Uruguay's ball path and made Uruguay's offense lose its threat."

"Perhaps, no one in this world knows better how to crack this tactic than Yang Cheng!"

After seeing the German team scored the third goal, the commentator sighed in his heart. At least in this game, Uruguay's seemingly luxurious front line failed to pose much threat to the German team's defense line. One important reason is that their ball path is difficult to pass to the forward.

Just imagine, how could a forward who failed to get a pass easily create a threat?

At this time, despite his reluctance, Tabares had to adjust the team's offensive tactics, replacing Fran, who almost disappeared throughout the game, and replaced the 23-year-old striker Abel Hernandez in Serie A Palermo.

"Abel Hernandez, the speed-type terminator. He performed well in Palermo, but he has not yet had a very convincing result. He is the new generation of forward killers who are highly favored by Uruguayan football. Now he is 23 years old, and he is the heroic player Diego Fran!"

"Fran's performance in this game is indeed unsatisfactory. His range of activities is not large, his number of receptions is not many, he failed to pose a threat, and he did not even have a very impressive picture. The only thing that entered our field of vision was that Hummels intercepted the ball and hit a counterattack, which directly caused the team to lose the ball. This has to be said to be a great tragedy."

"Tabares is very optimistic about Hernandez. He has been cultivating and cultivating this young player. Now let's see if this young player can create a threat to the German team's defense after he comes on the court."

When Tabares substitution was substituted, Yang Cheng was also making substitutions.

Khedira replaced Schweinsteiger, Schmelzer replaced Ram, and Scherler replaced Thomas Muller, all of which were counter-substitutions. It can be seen that Yang Cheng wanted to give this group of main players more rest time. After all, in the current situation, the German team is completely sure to win.

"Behind three goals, Uruguay has completely lost the morale and fighting spirit of counterattack. Tabares trained Uruguay well, but the problems with this team are also obvious. When Fran's state is no longer as brave as he was back then, Uruguay's entire offensive system has been greatly affected!"

"Now the football tactical offense and defense are complementary. The offense is affected, which means that the defense is also affected, and they are both opposite each other, which has become the key to the victory or defeat of the Uruguay and Germany in this game!"

While the on-site commentator analyzed and felt sorry, Tabares made his last two substitutions, and these two substitutions completely announced that he had given up on this game, because with only 6 minutes left, he could no longer see any hope of equalizing the score, so he had to choose to give up.

It is said that successes are different, but failures are the same.

While Yang Cheng defeated Uruguay, he actually saw the future of the German team!

Both rely on the forwards and allow the forwards to play a very critical role. The German team and Uruguay can be said to be surprisingly similar to those of Uruguay. The difference is that Yang Cheng's German team is relatively lucky. His Klose is in good condition and always exerts strong combat and tactical roles.

But if one day, Klose's condition declines to the level of Fran today, isn't Uruguay in this game equivalent to Germany in the next game?

Yang Cheng has never believed in a little bit. Success and failure are not accidental, so although he won the game, his eyebrows did not appear to be stretched out at all, but instead were tightly twisted together. Just like the person who lost the game was him.

"I was wondering, will we also have the day to become Uruguay?" Yang Cheng asked Benitez with a wry smile.

The gap on the front line has made Yang Cheng deeply feel that the future of the German team is facing huge unknowns. Perhaps Klose can still play until the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, perhaps Yang Cheng will leave the German national team after the World Cup, and perhaps a super genius will stand out at that time, perhaps...

But the question is, what if not?

One has a very clear idea of ​​handling the ball. One can cooperate with different teammates, the other can retreat, pull the edge, act as a tactical fulcrum, and can insert into the penalty area to grab points. A striker with the top sense of running without the ball, such a player is a treasure in any team and a priceless treasure!

Yang Cheng has no doubt that once the German team loses Klose, their strength may not decline as quickly as Uruguay. But he can say with certainty that without Klose, the German team's chance of winning the World Cup will be reduced by half.

Sometimes, this probability can be calculated!

"Under the current situation of German football, it is difficult for a suitable striker to emerge, and it is impossible to find a substitute for Klose in a short period of time, so we can only pray to God and worship Buddha!" ​​Benitez was helpless about this.

If he is coaching a club, then Yang Cheng can squander the transfer fee and make one from the transfer market. But the problem is that he is coaching the national team now. Not to mention that the German team has a shortage of talents, even if there are enough talents, there may not be anyone who is suitable for the current German team's tactics.

Unless, Yang Cheng carves and cultivates one by himself!

"Take it slow!" Benitez patted Yang Cheng's shoulder and comforted him.

It can be said that Klose has become a key factor in whether the German team can win the World Cup. If the striker falls, the possibility of Yang Cheng winning the World Cup will also be lost, and even completely desperate!

…………

…………

The referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, and the German team finally defeated Uruguay 3-0 in this semi-final!

This victory also made the German team's Federation Cup journey present to the world with nearly perfect data.

5:0 against Japan, 4:0 against Mexico, 2:0 against Brazil, and now 3:0 against Uruguay. In the Federation Cup game, Germany not only won four consecutive victories, but also achieved a defensive record of zero goals conceded, scoring 14 goals, averaging more than 3 goals per game. Such defensive and offensive data are enough to amazed fans all over the world.

After the game, Germany was celebrating the team's advance to the finals. In this way, all they need to do is wait for the final opponent to be released, and see whether it is the new enemy, Brazil or the old enemy, Spain. No matter who the opponent is, the German team has only one goal, that is, the championship!

When all the players were celebrating, Yang Cheng walked towards the visiting team coach's seat with a modest look on his face and towards Uruguay's head coach Tabares, but he no longer had the ostentatiousness he had when facing Scolari, and replaced it with a respect and affirmation written on his face.

"It's very regretful, Oscar, you performed well, really!" Yang Cheng stretched out his hand with a sincere look.

"No, no, Mr. Yang Cheng, your team is even better and deserves to win this game!" Tabares was blunt. Losing was not unacceptable to him. He has always been elegant and talkative, and he did not have the twists of other head coaches at all. If he loses, he will lose. There is nothing to deny or cover up. It is not as good as others. It is normal!

"To be honest, Uruguay is interesting now. If the midfield problem can be solved, I believe it will become stronger!" Yang Cheng directly expressed his opponent's weakness. He believed that even if he didn't say it, Tabares himself would know it.

Tabares did not deny it and nodded, "It will take time. I said in 2007 that in 10 years, I will bring out a better Uruguay. It's only 6 years, and it's still early!" After that, he laughed loudly.

The current Uruguayan team is indeed becoming younger. Sebastian Coates, born in 1990, currently plays for Liverpool, but has already gained a foothold in the national team and performed well. Hernandez is also the focus of the national team's training. This group of players should be Tabarez's future soldiers.

"I believe you will succeed!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

If Uruguay continues to entrust trust and support for Tabares, he firmly believes that the revival of Uruguayan football will be just around the corner, and they may even threaten Spain and Germany in the next few years.

Tabares is good at cultivating young players, so he is also the type of head coach that Yang Cheng admires very much. Perhaps on the court, they must decide the winner and lose, but this does not hinder them from establishing a certain friendship and friendship outside the court.

This is also what Yang Cheng always said. The birth of football was never to make people confront each other and to build hatred, but to make people find happiness in it.
