Schneider's jersey was soaked with sweat, but he was still running, still desperately trying to predict the England midfielder's passing route when defending, and then blocking, assisting in defense, filling in, and waiting for the attack.
Moving forward rapidly, he is no longer limited to the wing. It can be said that he has split the length of the court in half. He will appear on the right side at any time.
However, he still could not create better opportunities for the German team's offense.
Lampard is an important point following him closely today. Schneider has twice succeeded in breaking through Lampard, but that doesn't even count as breaking through the entire midfield line. There is also Hargreaves behind him, and so on.
There is a defender.
If Klose came to take over, there would be no threat on the front line. As for the offensive line planned by the head coach before the game, he tried to attack the east and west, using Schneider and Klose as bait to contain England's defensive force and tilt the opponent's defensive focus.
, the two of them did this very well, really well, but it was impossible for Bode on the other side to attack immediately, let alone become the sharp knife of the attack and go straight to the heart of the enemy.
The 33-year-old Bode, faced with the 27-year-old Beckham who is in his prime and has the physical ability to run to death, is dwarfed by him as an offensive player when he withdraws to defend, especially as he is still a tall man close to 1.9 meters.
Beckham, who is good at breaking through, seemed to be very good at his feet today. In fact, Bode who defended him was a little clumsy. As a result, he was suppressed behind the left wing and looked more like a full-back. It was really helpless.
As for Neuville, there was only one left in front, which really couldn't make any waves. Phil Neville and Campbell completely blocked him.
After witnessing Brazil’s magical samba dance steps, when looking at the German team, there is a huge contrast. In the German team, Schneider is good at technique, but he is not world-class. Klose is expected to step into the world-class, but he still needs to polish it.
, Secondly, he is not a player who relies on his personal ability to defeat his opponents.
In Aldrich's eyes, it's almost enough to think of Germany today as England in 1956.
The offensive side is paralyzed, the right side is strong, the left side is paralyzed, there are only engineers in the midfield, the defense is acceptable, the offensive organization has no highlights except for formulaic passing, and the forwards do not have the ability to break the deadlock on their own. The original configuration of the German team is still
It should be better, because they have Ballack who leads the team's offensive and defensive system, which is at least more reliable than the coexistence of two Germans. The transition between offense and defense will not be chaotic. Unfortunately, Ballack is suspended.
Football requires talent, so there is no need to worry about why England has seemingly strong dual virtues but has done nothing on the international stage. Who in England can break through like McManaman in the future? After Owen, there are forwards who can use speed
Overwhelm the defense? In the midfield, who can match Scholes’s accuracy of over 30 meters?
Through balls? Both sides are very good. They also perform well in the club and are even recognized by European football. But combined with the characteristics of their teammates in the club, you can understand that a team is not just the strongest combination together.
It must be strong, rationality, overall coordination, and especially the diversity of offensive methods are the watershed between strong and weak.
Aldridge was much quieter in this game than in the last game against Brazil. He almost stood on the sidelines with his hands behind his back, motionless.
Without Ballack, the German team's offensive strength will be greatly reduced, if nothing else. The most obvious combination of wing and center is no longer smooth, and the center has lost its soul. You can imagine how much the power will be reduced.
The German team is in a state of decline, and what is particularly pity is Ziege on the left. He was famous in German football back then, and is expected to compete for the top three wing talents in the world. Since his transfer to AC Milan, he has been in decline. He has never looked back since he left.
England's frequent changes of clubs have dulled their energy. Coupled with frequent injuries, their competitive strength has dropped again and again, and their stay at the sluggish White Hart Lane has become increasingly wasted.
The German team's group situation was very good. After entering the knockout round, the opponent's strength became slightly stronger, and the pressure and importance of the game also increased simultaneously. Ziege was replaced by Bode. In the final analysis, it was just a similar substitution, and it cannot be called a definite one.
Who is better? What can the German team do?
There are almost no aces. If you think about the fact that ten years from now, the German team will be full of talents in the front, middle and back lines, and they will need to be well-organized, make breakthroughs, and make all kinds of magical passes, then look at Germany in 2002. The contrast is huge.
, it cannot be compared with honor.
England is criticized by the outside world for being rough, but if you compare it with today's Germany, the German team may be even rougher than England.
Aldridge's formation is very targeted. Today he weakened the defense in the middle because the opponent Ballack couldn't come up. Jerry Mays, who is no longer at his peak, plus Hamann in Liverpool, even if he
If they both charge forward together, so what? Can they make a huge difference in the middle?
What's more, by releasing Beckham and letting him press the right wing, the German team is missing a side, and Phil Neville can tighten the inside line or boldly support the defensive midfielder. Why should Aldridge be afraid?
Schneider and Klose's efforts ultimately lacked the support of the entire team. In a 90-minute game, they may be at the end of their rope in less than 60 minutes.
As for England, in the attack, Beckham is on the right, Scholes is organizing and dispatching in the midfield, Lampard is mainly defensive to help Scholes, McManaman is free to move on the left and center, and Owen
Facing a slower back line, there is actually more room for movement and more opportunities.
England is much better than the German team in terms of offensive talent and methods. This is due to their methodical overall structure and the strong support of the tacit understanding of the offensive and defensive system. In the past year and a half, Aldrich has not adjusted the main lineup much. Compared with other teams
Some teams frequently change players. If we talk about tacit understanding, England will definitely be ranked among the top three in world football. This is also one of the factors that enhances the strength of the team.
In the first thirty minutes, England was still shooting long shots from the outside. Even though Paul Scholes and Lampard fired two beautiful long shots one after another, they were still easily resolved by the god-like Kahn. After thirty minutes,
, intimidated the German team's defense and forced them to start blocking England's peripheral opportunities, England began to play meticulously.
In the 32nd minute, Beckham, who was completely offensive in this game, broke through Bode on the right and then passed the ball directly behind Metzelder and LaMelo. Irving moved forward next to LaMelo and touched the ball first.
Seeing that the power of a single sword has been achieved, it is necessary to raise one's head
Irving was surprised when he shot. Kahn abandoned the goal and blocked the shooting angle to the maximum extent. Irving aimed a clever shot at the far corner of the goal. Kahn made a one-handed save, slightly changing the trajectory of the football towards the goal.
, the ball refracted and flew out of the baseline!
call!
The German fans at the scene were thankful to have survived the disaster, while the English fans sighed and then applauded.
3 minutes later, McManaman cut in from the left to meet Scholes and drove into the penalty area. Kahn abandoned the goal again. McManaman did not shoot in the first shot and let the ball bounce to the ground. It was not good.
After adjusting again, he reluctantly headed the ball towards the goal, but it was difficult to control his strength. Kahn easily picked the ball out of the air with both hands directly in front of him.
Lion King Kahn started roaring at his teammates.
The defense line is really terrible.
The German team's defense itself is slow. Once they are beaten behind, they are in a very awkward situation, with almost no chance to make amends. Otherwise, how could they have been beaten in front of the goal by Duff, Robbie Keane, Olembe and the like?
Not to mention the humiliation of Donovan running through the entire defense with his speed. Without Kahn, the German team would have gone home long ago.
The German team's defense was forced into the penalty area twice by the opponent, creating a one-on-one offensive threat with the goalkeeper. Therefore, the defense automatically retreated, not giving the opponent any space behind them.
As a result, the England team once again displayed its long-range shooting ability in front of the penalty area. Scholes' long-range shot missed the post and flew out of the baseline, shocking all the Germans. As for the bold statement after the start of the game that Scholes would cry.
Jeremys crawled back, which really made him dangerously cruel, and he was also wary of it, because there was a Beckham on the other side!
As time went by, the statistical gap between the two sides' offensive technical data became wider and wider. The German team was in disbelief. They could not believe that the England in front of them, who were operating smoothly and with tacit understanding, was the same England they encountered in Munich more than half a year ago.
After being bloodbathed in Munich, the German team was the main attacker and was short of major generals. England's counterattack was devastating and knocked the Germans into the abyss. However, the England team's positional warfare ability was really average, and it was not at all as strong as it is now.
Aldridge is more pleased that it is difficult to attack and easy to defend. This is the norm on the football field. The same is true for building a team. Starting from defense is definitely slightly easier than starting from offense.
If the offense is used as the point of transformation, once the offense encounters setbacks during growth and construction, the team will lose confidence because the risk of conceding the ball after the main attack is too great.
It is safer to use defense as the entry point, and constantly strive for excellence in counterattacks. England, which can play magical counterattacks, will also improve its positional warfare capabilities. This improvement comes from the tacit understanding between the teammates and the clear division of labor, but in the final analysis,
It is impossible to be so powerful, but the German team's defense has weaknesses and its offense is weak. In local confrontations, England has the upper hand and is stronger than its opponents on an overall basis. It will naturally make the opponent think how powerful England has become.
Throughout the first half, England threatened the German team with sometimes long-range shots and sometimes penetrating the penalty area, which made the German team frightened and panicked. Fortunately, Kahn kept the goal intact, and England hit the target 8 times.
Kahn successfully saved all the shots!
On the other hand, the German team only had two shots, and neither of them hit the target.
At the whistle of the first half, the Germans finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Voller remained expressionless as he walked into the tunnel.
He was not confused. Although the England team's offensive strength caught them off guard, the German team still had a backup plan.
This backup team is not mainly based on players, because the German team is really short of available players.
However, England, who had the advantage in the first half, failed to break through the city gate, and the German team was about to catch the Three Lions by surprise! r1152
