At 2:25 a.m. on July 8, Beijing time, and at 8:25 p.m. on July 7, local time in South Africa, the Durban stadium was brightly lit at night, and the Germans in white jerseys and the Chinese in red jerseys were shaking hands on the field.
.The players from both sides barely greeted each other. Even Wang Ai, Ozil and Mertesacker just smiled at each other.
Wang Ai and Ram exchanged team flags, and the Chinese team won the right to kick off.
Gao Hongbo stood outside the sideline, with a serious look on his face and a hint of nervousness. Just like his expression, the game was going very hard. In the first few minutes, there was no organization at all between the two sides. 4231 vs. 442, Wang Aijia, Chen Tao vs. Special
After gaining a short-term advantage, Rohovski immediately joined the team in Schweinsteiger's position. Just after achieving balance, Ozil moved laterally and increased the weight again. Seeing that the situation in the middle was difficult, Zhao Xuri took the initiative to approach...
Centering around the dual core of the Chinese team composed of Wang Ai + Chen Tao, the two sides launched a series of organization and destruction, attack and interception, control and counter-control. The scene was extremely chaotic, even for the Chinese team whose tactical goal was to "fight for dominance".
The coaching staff can't see the outcome or direction.
The new system of the Chinese team clearly puts forward the idea of system confrontation. The midfielder versus the midfielder, the frontcourt versus the backcourt, and the backcourt versus the frontcourt all have to confront each other, from the individual skills and bodies of the players to the coordination and cooperation of small groups.
From the aggregation and dispersion of small groups to the confrontation in the thinking and direction of the entire system... to put it simply, there is confrontation everywhere and at all times, establishing advantages in confrontation and finding victory in confrontation.
If you are on the wing, forward or even full-back, you can retreat appropriately if the situation is unfavorable, but only the dual-core midfielder will give up the dominance of the court or even the dominance of the game once it retreats. It is absolutely not allowed. Lao Gao and even the whole team do not care.
Wang Ai's attack power puts him here just to stand. Therefore, no matter how fierce the German team is, no matter how ugly, Wang Ai must stand here.
Nail it firmly here!
Probably Loew also saw the key point of the Chinese team. Uncharacteristically, he did not organize the attack systematically, but desperately urged the players to compete with Wang Ai and others for dominance in the midfield. Both sides seemed to have forgotten the existence of the other side's goal, and instead insisted on
, even stubbornly demanding the territory in the middle of the midfield!
There is no elegance, agility, or splendor at all. It is nothing more than two beasts attacking each other with their claws.
This lasted for 15 minutes.
Wang Ai's sweat had mixed with grass blades and mud, turning into a dark substance hanging on his face. He felt that at least one-third of his physical energy had been consumed! Of course, the "Little Pig" who was opposite him had to do so.
He could no longer run, and Ozil, who was knocked down by him several times, could no longer stand.
Suddenly, whether it was a natural reaction after the German team members' collective physical strength had been exhausted to a certain extent, or whether it was something Loew had arranged before the game, Wang Ai, who was carrying the ball after receiving a diagonal pass from Zheng Zhi again, suddenly discovered that the German
Not so pressing anymore.
Although the Germans may take a breather and come back again, the Chinese team can also take a breather and fight again!
Dominance has been obtained!
Only then did the game get on the "right track" and enter a rhythm that the audience is familiar with. The German team mainly used the two wingers to break through and create threats, while the Chinese team mainly used the midfield dual-core to flexibly mobilize and initiate the offensive.
But the 15-minute fierce confrontation caused too much "trauma" to both sides. Wang Ai and Chen Tao, except that their brains are still good and their footwork is still guaranteed, they have almost no spare power to launch a quick counterattack. Similarly, the German team's
The two wingers Ozil and Podolski also consumed too much in the confrontation and were unable to play sharp fast breaks.
On the contrary, the defenders on both sides were in good physical condition, so after 45 minutes of fierce battle, the two sides returned to the locker room 0:0.
Heavy breathing echoed in the locker room. No one in the Chinese team spoke, everyone was taking time to rest. Lao Gao didn't say a word. He only said one sentence after the break was over and everyone was about to return to the court: "The Germans will be better than us."
Uncomfortable."
At the beginning of the second half, the situation suddenly changed. The Germans didn't know what they drank during the halftime break. When the Chinese team kicked off and still played according to the existing rhythm, they suddenly accelerated collectively and caught the Chinese team by surprise. Ozil went down and defeated the Chinese team.
Loser pulled, and Podolski scored a lob, which attracted huge cheers from the German fans.
The Chinese team, which was lagging behind 0:1, immediately launched a fierce counterattack. Wang Ai and Chen Tao divided the work. He was fast and stayed behind to prevent the Germans from quickly counterattacking and widening the score. Chen Tao led the team forward to contact all directions to organize the attack.
Overshadowed by Wang Ai's glory, the number two figure of the Chinese team finally has a critical moment that attracts everyone's attention, and a stage where he can fully display his talents.
Just as Wang Ai stayed behind and stared at Trochowski cautiously, he kept an eye on Klose from the corner of his eye, turned to the left to support Sun Jihai in defending Podolski, glanced to the right at Zheng Zhi's defense against Ozil, and took the opportunity to
When he was taking a breath to adjust his physical strength, Chen Tao was already as heroic as the Yangtze River in front of him.
Sometimes he shoots coldly from the outside, sometimes dribbles the ball to penetrate, sometimes suddenly separates sides, and sometimes makes breakthroughs in a small area. For a moment, Chen Tao, who has practiced in Spain for many years, even left a mark for Wang Ai, Li Weifeng and others in the backcourt.
The illusion that Lairon is leading the battle.
In the 30th minute of the second half, Gao Lin of the Chinese team, who had been unable to attack for a long time, was accidentally injured. Lao Gao urgently sent Mao Jianqing into the battle. On the other hand, in order to delay time, Loew also sent in the powerful Gomez to try to threaten the Chinese team's retreat.
And reduce stress.
In the 31st minute, Chen Tao, who made a last-ditch effort, went deep into the German team's lineup and had a wonderful cooperation with Mao Jianqing in the penalty area. Mao Jianqing seemed to be possessed by Harvey at that moment, and he caught the ball while moving.
With a knock, the football penetrated the German team's defense. Chen Tao calmly controlled his footwork in front of the goal and hit Neuer with a shot at his feet.
The tall Neuer was caught off guard and watched the football roll past his feet. He watched the Chinese in red turn around, lower his head, raise his arms, raise his index finger, and run towards the applause of his own fans.
The Germans are no longer cowering, and the Chinese are no longer careless. Just like in the first 15 minutes, the green field was full of war, and the Chinese team's goal was once in turmoil, but the Chinese team's new tactical system finally held up. Whenever there was a problem with the defense
, Wang Ai will take the initiative to get the ball, control the ball, dribble the ball, delay time, and break the rhythm.
There are other people who did this, such as Mao Jianqing, who just came on the field. In the 89th minute of the game, he went to chase a frontcourt ball that had little hope. Unexpectedly, the opponent's central defender Friedrich was careless and he snatched the ball.
After a while, seeing his amazing speed, he simply pulled him down.
The position is in the penalty area.
Penalty kick!
The cheers of the Chinese people echoed throughout the stadium.
Chen Tao smiled and hugged Wang Ai: "Boss, I can't hold on anymore."
Mao Jianqing stood behind the football, waiting for the noise to subside. Just as the referee was about to blow the whistle, he suddenly turned back and looked at Wang Ai. Wang Ai approached without knowing why, and Xiao Mao said with a sad face: "Boss, my idol is Baggio..."
"Okay, I'll do it." Wang Ai patted Mao Jianqing's shoulder and walked to the free throw position.
Mao Jianqing breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the crowd. He knew that the boss was just too lazy to kick the penalty kick, but it was not that he didn't know how to kick it!
Facing the tall Neuer, Wang Ai moved his shoulders, bowed slightly, and his eyes gradually widened.
The solemnity and murderous intent in his eyes made Neuer seem to see a lion about to pounce!
