Chapter 54 One thought of heaven and one thought of hell
"Huh? Could it be that the staff took it by mistake?" Duan Xuan said with great uncertainty as he stared at the small piece of paper in his hand with the German team's starting list written on it.
What kind of list was it that made Duanxuan think it was a mistake? Then, after Liu Jiayuan reminded him, Duanxuan finally read out the list.
"The German team's starting goalkeeper in this game is still Neuer, and there is no change in this. Even the four defenders, Lahm, Boateng, Badstuber, and Hummels, have not changed.
But this midfield has undergone earth-shaking changes.
First of all, Li Yi did not appear in the starting midfielder position. The two defensive midfielders of the German team in this game were played by Khedira, who had only played half the game as a substitute, and Schweinsteiger.
As for attacking midfielder Ozil, Low was assigned to the right winger position in this game. On the left wing, Low chose Kroos, who had not played much before.
Li Yi, who we Chinese fans are most concerned about, miraculously appeared in the starting midfielder position today.
I really don’t know what kind of mentality Loew’s big change comes from!
It would be fine if we win this game, but if Germany cannot escape unscathed due to this unexpected change of formation, then all responsibilities will be pushed to Loew. Loew will instantly become the culprit of all accusations! He,
This is a chess move with one thought of heaven and one thought of hell!"
After listening to Duan Xuan's comments, Liu Jiayuan on the side also echoed, "Well, just like Duan Xuan said, Li Yi played quite well in the midfielder position before. I really can't figure it out. Loew
What kind of mentality do you have to promote him as an attacking midfielder in such a crucial game? Hey! I hope Germany’s change of formation will not affect the players’ condition! Okay, the game has started, let’s get into the game together.
"
The bv2 commentators are 120,000 incomprehensible. The pre-match ceremonies between Germany and Italy are all over. The war is about to break out!!
And Li Yi, who was standing on the court at this time, just as Duan Xuan said, his position today changed from a defensive midfielder to a front midfielder!
Li Yi still remembers how overwhelmed he was when Loew told him how he was playing as an attacking midfielder in the semifinals.
By the way, although Li Yi played as an attacking midfielder or even as a winger when he was at Bayern, these were all Heynckes' helpless moves when no one was available, and,
Even if it is a guest appearance, the total number of Li Yi guest appearances does not exceed the number of one hand!
What's even more exaggerated is that you said that Loew wanted Li Yi to play as an attacking midfielder. Anyway, he gave Li Yi a little hint! No! Before the last team summary meeting before the start of this game, Loew started from
Didn't disclose any thoughts to Li Yi about wanting him to change his position!
To sum up, Loew’s formation changes this time are definitely changes that no one expected before the game!
Li Yi, whose personality has changed slightly, also talked about it with Loew after learning the news. He told Loew that his favorite position was actually the defensive midfielder. However, after listening to Li Yi's thoughts
In the end, Loew just smiled and told Li Yi: "Artus, you are wrong, the attacking midfielder is the most suitable position for you! If you play as a defensive midfielder, your offensive talent will be lost due to distraction on defense.
It’s less than perfect blooming. So, play hard!”
After saying that, without giving Li Yi any chance to defend himself, Loew walked away directly, leaving only the egg broken on the ground, and he kept thinking about what he said about Li Yi before!
What is Loew thinking? Even though his analytical ability is as strong as Li Yi's, he can't figure it out. Now that the game is about to begin, Li Yi has no time to worry about it anymore. What he can and must do now is to adjust himself.
mentality, and strive to integrate into the position of the front midfielder as soon as possible.
"Beep", as the referee on duty blew his whistle, the European Cup semi-final between Germany and Italy officially started.
After the game started, although Germany adopted a new formation, the players on the field were slightly unskilled in their cooperation.
However, after all, the German team is more dominant, and they are young, they have 2 more days of rest than the old Italy, and have better physical fitness. Therefore, it is natural that the German team easily controls the initiative on the court.
.
After being selected for the national team, Li Yi, who played as a midfielder for the first time, successfully integrated into the role after spending 5 minutes to get a feel for it, constantly creating threats at the front of the Italian penalty area.
With a fake move without the ball, Li Yi deceived Italian defensive midfielder Pirlo's center of gravity. Li Yi retreated backwards and took the ball from the foot of Lahm who was assisting.
Stopping the ball and turning around, Li Yi faced Pirlo, who was a master in the defensive midfield position.
Stretching out his right foot, he gently stepped on the ball with the sole of his shoe, keeping a little more than 1 meter away from Pirlo. Li Yi took his time and started the action!
Facing Li Yi who kept making fake moves, Pirlo calmly observed for a while, and finally succeeded in waiting until Li Yi showed his flaw. He kicked his feet fiercely and at the same time lifted his heart. Pirlo did not hesitate.
, chose to shovel!
But, is Li Yi's flaw really so easy to find?
I saw Li's outstretched right foot. When Pirlo lowered his waist, he first gently retracted it. When Pirlo thought he had perfect control of the timing, he fell to the ground and slid to tackle. Li Yi retracted his right foot with lightning.
Send forward.
With his toes tapping the lower part of the ball, the ball, like a naughty child, passed over the sliding tackle Pirlo and the two Italian central defenders, and went straight to the center of the Italian penalty area!
There, Gomez, who has a close connection with Li Yi, has already shaken off the defenders who were marking him and moved forward at the right time!
He padded the arch of his right foot and removed the ball. Gomez was about to shoot, but before he could take off his foot, Gomez, who was looking upward, was surprised to find that the Warsaw Stadium was attacked by a terrorist! At this time,
An unknown mountain actually appeared above the stadium, and this mountain was about to hit him!
Faced with a sudden crisis, Super Mario chose to dodge due to his survival instinct!
However, due to the shooter's sense of smell in front of the goal, Gomez fell to the side to avoid the mountain. At the same time, he just raised his right foot without putting it down and instinctively bounced the ball in the direction of the Italian goal.
After screaming "Ah!", after Gomez finished shooting, he realized that what hit him emotionally was not a terrorist attack, let alone a mountain. What hit him was just seeing Li Yi pass the ball.
The Italian national team suddenly struck out, and the man who could truly be called a god—Buffon.
Pushing Buffon away who was pressing on him, Gomez staggered up from the ground. Finally free at this time, he quickly turned his eyes towards the goal. Without him, although Gomez was soft just now, he
I didn’t forget that when he fell to the ground, he finished his shooting!
--------------------------
"Hey! What a good opportunity! Li Yi! Beautiful, so beautiful! This kick is perfect for imagination and footwork! Look at Gomez, Gomez, Gomez! What a chance! Oops, it didn't go in!
"Shaking his head, Liu Jiayuan added regretfully, "Gomez, Gomez, when the team needed you the most, you were soft! Although Buffon struck the ball in time, if Gomez didn't take the initiative,
If he fell to the ground and chose to dial the ball instead, Buffon's desperate pounce was 100% a foul! Even if he didn't get a red card, he could at least win a penalty kick for Germany. What a pity!"
"The Canadian dollar is right. The ball just passed by Li Yi was really beautiful, and Gomez stopped the ball well! But Gomez's performance after stopping the ball really exposed the biggest shortcoming of this artistic German. Before
Don’t the Germans always ask why they always fail to win the championship despite being the favorites in every major competition? Let me make a bold guess.
I think the biggest reason why the German team cannot win the championship is that while Loew changed Germany's playing style to be more beautiful, he also made these young men lose the biggest reason they once relied on to settle down - the German spirit!
Take Gomez as an example, if it were any other member of the German team in the 1990s and faced with his situation at that time, I am sure that the German players in that position would have crashed into him regardless of their own safety!"
"Well, Duan Xuan is right. When you say this, I also feel that the current German team is indeed more gorgeous than tough-blooded!" After listening to Duan Xuan's words, Liu Jiayuan quickly agreed.
----------------------------------
Seeing that Gomez's shot missed the goal, Li Yi also shook his head in annoyance. It was a pity that he missed this opportunity just now! But Li Yi touched his conscience and said, if he were to be put in Gomez's position,
If you encounter Buffon's flying swoop, you will most likely choose to hide!
After all, if you get injured for a goal, no matter how important the goal is, you are being irresponsible to yourself!
Therefore, at this time, Li Yi obviously would not be an idiot to complain to his teammates. He took two steps forward and came behind Gomez. Li Yi slapped Gomez hard on the butt, which made the still annoyed
Super Mario, come to your senses instantly!
"Mario, don't think too much, just pay attention to your movement and wait for my next pass!"
Between men, there is no need for too many words. After receiving encouragement from Li Yi, Gomez didn't say much, nodded heavily, and Super Mario walked straight towards the midfield!
The game continued with Buffon angrily scolding his two central defenders 2b!
After three passes and two downs, Italy successfully moved the ball from the right to the left through Pirlo's accurate wide-range transfer.
With one point on his chest, he removed Pirlo's long pass. Cassano used his speed to run towards the baseline.
However, although Cassano is fast, he is not necessarily stronger than Lahm when dribbling the ball.
No, after running less than 10 meters, his starting position was even worse. The German captain, who was 3 or 4 meters behind Cassano, had already come from behind and came to Cassano's side! And at this time, Lahm had already found an opportunity.
, he instantly adjusted his center of gravity and planned to shovel down to destroy...
