Five hundred and seventy-ninth chapter phoenix flying (nine)
Lao Gao's notice wiped out the excitement of the Chinese team almost instantly, causing everyone to start preparing for the game the next day. After being tested by three South American teams: Chile, Honduras, and Paraguay, the current Chinese team is not afraid.
For South American teams, we can even count the earlier warm-up match with Argentina that had room to spare. The Chinese team's style of play emphasizes collective victory, and it has a certain psychological advantage over the South American teams that are generally loose.
Facing Germany, this advantage disappeared.
The German team is also a team that emphasizes collectivism and overall play. The main body of this national team, including Wang Ai, is the "Tubingen system", which is a product originating in China and processed in Germany. Everyone is familiar with it.
I am deeply touched by Germany’s profound football culture and solid football foundation.
The next semi-finals can be regarded as a collision between "German original" and "German modified"!
If possible, Wang Ai really doesn't want to meet the German team, not to mention that there are two of his former teammates in the German team: Ozil and Mertesacker!
The little friends who grew up together have now become the main force of the German team.
We have such a deep connection with each other and have to fight to the death. This is competitive sports!
"If the young people of Tubingen are excluded, we can also open a training camp for Depor." Leonie had a rare one-on-one contact with Wang Ai: "Isn't this the back-up you prepared?"
"Yeah." Wang Ai responded and sat facing the sea breeze without speaking.
This was the day after the game. Everyone returned to Durban, back to the first suburban manor they rented after coming to South Africa. Although the two were just sitting side by side, their teammates also hid behind the two of them.
out of sight.
"What is supposed to come will eventually come." Wang Ai stood up after a long time: "The youth of Tubingen are just our kindergarten, and the World Cup is our coming-of-age ceremony. We will never be truly strong without crossing Germany."
"Yes." Leonie was still sitting with her knees folded, looking up at Wang Ai's silhouette admiringly: "The Chinese team's new tactical system is deeply rooted in Chinese cultural traditions, social traditions, football traditions, and German tanks.
It's not the same thing, the Chinese team has gone its own way. Right now, it's just a normal World Cup semi-final."
Wang Ai turned his head, lowered his head and looked at Leonie, and they both smiled at the same time. Wang Ai put his hand on Leonie's head, while Leonie closed her eyes and leaned on the outside of Wang Ai's thigh, enjoying the feeling.
Rare tranquility.
Having fought side by side for many years, they also have a silent understanding.
After a short lunch break, the Chinese team continued their review meeting in the afternoon. They said little about yesterday's game. Lao Gao almost said only one sentence: "Both of us changed formations at the same time, which provided opportunities for both of us. The difference is that we
We are stronger and our ability to seize opportunities is greater, so the game is one-sided. If it were the other way around, we would also be in danger of being one-sided."
Then, there is a detailed analysis of the German team.
Outside the large conference room in a suburban manor, Yan Shiduo listened for a while with his hands behind his back, then turned and walked out. Zhang Jilong and Leonie, who accompanied him, did not sit down until they reached the leader's room.
"Do we need to take any special measures? For example, inviting family members?" Zhang Jilong asked.
Yan Shiduo pondered and looked at Leonie: "Manager Lei, what do you think?"
Leonie frowned and thought for a while: "I feel that the national team is not nervous now, but heavy? It's not the kind of anxiety of reaching the semi-finals for the first time, but the prudence when facing the teacher Germany."
Zhang Jilong said "Oh" and sat down and thought for a while: "It seems to be true. If you say so, I take back the suggestion just now. If we really invite the family members to come and bring the excitement in the country, it may not be good.
.”
Yan Shiduo smiled: "They had no intention of celebrating or being happy, and they even suppressed the excitement of making history. Although this is not a normal situation, it was an accident and the mentality was good. We should now think about the aftermath of the next game
What should I do?"
Speaking of this, Yan Shiduo also pondered for a while: "If we lose, there will be a third-place match. We still have to strive for a good ranking. If we win, it will be the finals. I am afraid that the mentality of the players will have changed a lot by then. Let's start from here.
Think about it, I'll apply to my family for whatever I need. You all heard the boss's call yesterday. I'll give you whatever you ask for. It's rare for a superior to be generous, so don't be too polite."
The atmosphere in the leader's room suddenly became relaxed.
After two days of discussion, the Chinese team reached a consensus that there would be no luck in this game and it must be a tough battle. Not to mention that the German team knows the Chinese team better than other teams.
A person's "axis" strength is also destined to be a hard battle.
The Germans don't know what it means to stop when enough is enough, and they don't know what it means to leave one behind. Many of the ruthless big-scoring events in international competitions were created by the Germans.
The German team does not have any obvious loopholes for the Chinese team to exploit. What the Chinese team can do is to try to make its loopholes as few as possible, so as to start a head-to-head contest with the Germans.
Unsurprisingly, Wang Ai returned to the midfield and once again teamed up with Chen Tao to run the formation, and at the same time formed a new winger combination: Yan Song + Zhao Xuri. The forward line was filled with Dong Fangzhuo and Gao Lin, a pair that rarely appeared.
The combination. The two central defenders are the most stable Luo Tongliang and Li Weifeng, the two full-backs are Zheng Zhi and Sun Jihai, and the goalkeeper is Zong Lei.
Lao Gao selected people who had played in the German league for a long time, or who were strong and not afraid of collisions, so Mao Jianqing, Guo Liang, even Zhou Haibin, Bai Guanghai and other people who were not strong enough were arranged to serve as substitutes.
An hour before the start of the game, the German team's starting list also came out, single forward Miroslav Klose, double wingers Podolski, Ozil, attacking midfielder Trochowski, double defensive midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger,
Seeing this starting list, including coach Lao Gao and player leaders such as Wang Ai, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's all good and nothing will happen. Of course, the Chinese team didn't make any mistakes either. I believe the Germans can see it.
As for the two big guys Dong Fangzhuo and Gao Lin, I wouldn't imagine them playing midfield. Only Zhao Xuri's appointment may cause some doubts about Wang Ai being a winger, but it won't be too big.
Until now in the World Cup, he is already considered a bright star.
In the first semi-final yesterday, the Spanish team controlled the whole game and defeated Uruguay 2:0. They rested a day early and waited for the result of the game.
The eyes of fans all over the world are curiously watching the Durban Stadium on July 7.
