The Chinese Olympic team attaches great importance to this free kick in the frontcourt.
The German Olympic team is now being effectively counterattacked by the Chinese team, not because their players are not strong enough, but because their cooperation is really not tacit.
The strength gap between the two teams can be clearly seen from the starting players of the German team this time.
In this game, the eleven starting players of the German team all came from the Bundesliga, and basically all played rotations or even main roles in their own clubs. Among them were several players from Champions League teams like Borussia Dortmund.
For example, two central defenders, Ginter and Sule, and a forward, Brandt, were later selected for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. No matter how well the German team performed in the World Cup in Russia, at least they were able to squeeze out countless other outstanding players.
Players have been selected into the World Cup squad, and their hard power is beyond doubt.
To use something more vivid - the data in the system - to express it, this group of elite young players in the Bundesliga generally has an ability value of over 100, which is much better than many players in the Chinese team who have an ability value of over 80.
.
When a weak team beats a strong team, set kicks become the best opportunity.
Qin Minghao, who was standing in front of the ball, carefully observed the German team's position in the penalty area and kicked the ball out. Considering that the German team's center backs were not short, Qin Minghao cleverly passed the ball to the back.
point instead of hanging directly to the middle.
Germany is obviously investigating the Chinese team. Li Yun, who helped Red Bull Leipzig rise from the Bundesliga to the Bundesliga last season, is their focus. Zou Weijia has intuitively become a defensive player for the German team.
Take care of the list-after all, no one can ignore his 1.92 meter tall man.
On the contrary, Nie Jiang, who was standing at the back, was ignored by the German side through clever movement.
When Qin Minghao's ball came over, Nie Jiang happened to run from the middle to the back point. Facing the incoming ball, Nie Jiang, who was basically undefended, directly chose to volley the ball. The football passed through two German team defenders.
The player's legs then hit the inside of the goalpost and bounced into the net.
The Chinese Olympic team took the lead in the game with a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt.
"Ahhhh!" Chen Jiangfeng jumped up from the sofa excitedly this time. Because of his excessive excitement, his knees knocked over the coffee table in front of the sofa. Father Chen's beer on the coffee table was also overturned.
At this time, Father Chen didn't care to hold the beer bottle, and he and Chen Jiangfeng raised their arms happily and cheered, "Beautiful! Nie Jiang shot beautifully!"
It was around three o'clock in the morning in China, and the cheers from the father and son were greeted by Chen's mother's complaint: "Keep your voice down, if you don't sleep, others will still sleep."
At the same time, countless celebrations were staged across the country. This was also the second goal of the Chinese Olympic team in the history of the Olympic Games and the first goal of a Dragon Team player.
This loss of the ball can only mean that the German team missed someone. Of course, this is also a common problem of teams with few teams - offense may be accomplished through the players' personal abilities and movement coordination, but defense cannot.
The team's defense has always been a matter that requires both the player's personal ability, the player's personal experience, and the tacit understanding between the players. The German team, which has only practiced together for no more than a week, concedes the ball in set-piece defense.
Strange things.
After conceding the goal, the German team was very angry. Being scored first by a weak team like China was something they never expected. They responded quickly.
In the 11th minute of the first half, Selke, the German forward from Hertha Berlin, used his speed advantage to eat Du Zhenyu alive, and the one who passed the ball to Selke was one of the core midfielders of Schalke 04.
Yi Meier is also the captain of this German Olympic team.
The German team's attack was a result of Meier using his personal ability to get rid of the Chinese team's defense in the midfield and passing the ball to Selke who made a successful diagonal run.
In the end, one of the overage players of the Chinese team this time, goalkeeper Zengcheng, made a great contribution. His save was enough to deflect Selke's ball out of the baseline, and the Chinese team escaped.
In the 15th minute, the German team, which insisted on walking on the ground and playing short passes, once again got a chance. Arsenal youngster Gnabry on the left opened up a little space after continuously participating in frontcourt kicks.
, he chose to shoot directly.
The shot was powerful, heavy, and sudden. Zengcheng basically gave up resistance. Fortunately, in order to pursue concealment, Gnabry did not aim at the star before shooting, and the football missed the goal and flew out of the baseline.
Judging from these two consecutive shots, the German team still has an obvious advantage in the players' personal abilities.
Rick Linke on the sidelines made a gesture to the court, which meant pressing harder, not letting up, and not giving the German players a chance to pass the ball or shoot.
After playing until now, players from domestic leagues who came to participate in this game know the true strength of European teams.
As the best players in the Chinese Super League, they saw the gap.
First of all, in terms of physical strength, the players of the German team look thicker. This time, the German players are generally players in the 1995-1996 age group, which means that they are stronger than the Olympic requirement of under 23 years old.
young.
Of course, there are many reasons for the difference in physical strength. First, the German team players are both white and black. They are born to develop earlier than the yellow Chinese players. It can be said that they are 21 or 22 years old.
They are almost fully developed; secondly, the players on the Chinese Olympic team are younger this time. Players like Nie Jiang who were born in 1998 are rare among all the players in this Olympics.
The second is the intensity of the competition and the rhythm of the game.
In the past, in the Chinese Super League, the Longteng team was very particular about confrontation and high-tempo and fast passing. The players of the Longteng team were also proud of this style of play. Now when it came to the confrontation with the German team, everyone discovered that they were proud of it.
The reason why fast passing and cutting can be successful in the Chinese Super League is not that we are too strong, but that the opponents in the Chinese Super League cannot keep up in terms of confrontation and rhythm.
Now when we meet the German team, everyone realizes that their movements must be faster, their passing accuracy must be higher, their energy must be more concentrated, and their pressing must be more aggressive in order to keep up with the opponent's rhythm and not interrupt the opponent.
ball.
Because many players have been sent to Europe by the Longteng team, everyone in the Longteng team thinks that going to Europe is nothing. I can play in Europe if I work hard. Now they know that, if you don’t meet certain technical abilities,
, without a strong enough body, how difficult it is to play football in Europe.
The Chinese players, who were 100% committed to the game, still put a lot of pressure on the German team. At the 27th minute of the first half, Qi Ming's attack caused Bender to make a mistake in the back pass. Zou Weijia, who was on the front line, made a mistake.
The ball was intercepted midway, and the Chinese Olympic team once again had the opportunity to steal and counterattack in the frontcourt.
"Opportunity, another frontcourt steal." Chen Jiangfeng seemed to have seen the routine of the previous goal again.
Just when Chen Jiangfeng was thinking that the Chinese team could expand the score again, the German team's center back Süle quickly chased back. His speed was so fast that no one would have thought that he was a player over 1.9 meters tall.
When Zou Weijia wanted to make some adjustments before shooting, Jule quickly made a tackle. His side tackle first destroyed the football beyond the baseline, and then brought Zou Weijia down.
Sule was carrying a yellow card, but his decisive tackle proved that he was a very decisive player with a big heart. It is no wonder that he was later bought by Bayern and trained as a core central defender.
Of course, Zou Weijia's lack of confidence in shooting at his feet also gave Sule such an opportunity.
The Chinese team was quickly punished for wasting opportunities.
After intercepting the ball in the frontcourt and only getting a corner kick, the quality of this corner kick was also very average. On the contrary, German goalkeeper Timo Horn hit the ball to the midfielder with both fists. After Meier got the ball, he made a beautiful
Turning around and getting rid of Qi Ming's defense completely failed.
After getting the ball, Meyer didn't dribble much. He passed the ball directly to Gnabry on the left. The latter used his speed to rush directly into the penalty area, and then used a beautiful curve ball to go behind the goal.
Corner, after bypassing Du Zhenyu's body, flew directly into the goal.
The German Olympic team took advantage of the fact that the Chinese team invested a large number of personnel in the corner kick attack and launched a high-quality quick counterattack to tie the score to 1:1.
"Oh! This is a lost ball." Chen Jiangfeng complained in frustration, "These German players are too strong and fast."
"It's okay." Father Chen consoled him, "There is obviously a problem with their defensive cooperation. If Zou Weijia hadn't been a little slower just now, we would have led 2-0. If these players from the Olympic team had been more aggressive, they would have had the chance.
There will be more.”
Dad Chen is indeed the "King of Football" in the old world. In the next game, the two sides really paid more attention to the battle for the midfield. The Chinese team used more running to press, while the German team used their strong foot skills.
To involve the Chinese team's defense.
Since Spain and Barcelona have frequently won championships in recent years, the pass-and-control style of play has become very popular. Germany is the most determined and thorough model of this style.
Starting from the U16 National Youth Team, the tactics of each youth team of the German national team are exactly the same, all based on foot skills and passing and controlling. Although this Olympic team is only temporarily put together, in terms of basic tactics,
I still continued the playing style of the National Youth Team and the National Team.
The German Olympic team's choice of this style of play has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the selected players have also been selected for national teams at all levels. They are relatively familiar with this style of play. The weakness is also obvious, that is, the pass-and-control style of play is very particular about coordination, proficiency and tacit understanding, otherwise mistakes will be very serious.
many.
The current situation on the field is exactly like this. The Chinese Olympic team is basically dominated by players from the Longteng team. Their cooperation does not happen overnight. Many times, they don’t need to shout loudly on the field. They all know what to do.
As the head coach who has brought these players from the national junior team, Rick Link is also extremely familiar with these players. What are the characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of each player? They have already been trained under him.
Countless times.
He can even sit on the coach's bench and give directions with ease.
On the other hand, for the German Olympic team, their head coach Hrubesch stood on the sidelines from the first second of the game and kept rushing to the court to shout instructions. Even so, the backcourt was still continuous.
Two big mistakes were made and the ball was intercepted by China.
In order to ensure that his defense was hit as little as possible, Hrubesch chose to increase the intensity of his offense and strive to push the battle to the midfield. However, the Chinese Olympic team must fight for every inch of ground and not give the ball to the German side.
There were opportunities to pass the ball, and the playing style of both sides kept the ball exchanged in the midfield. The game was very lively, but there were not many opportunities to shoot.
Until the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was still fixed at 1:1.
At the halftime break, Reiklink was very satisfied with the score. The German team, which was combined with young talents from the Bundesliga, played well. What else could you ask for?
When he was in a good mood, Rick Link began to praise the players and encourage them.
On the contrary, in the locker room of the German Olympic team, Hrubesch was very dissatisfied with the team, especially the defense.
I have never heard of Chinese football in Germany, except for the occasional news about Chinese Super League clubs spending money on the news. Most of the time, it is regarded as a football desert.
In the plan of the German Olympic team, the Chinese team, like the Fiji team, was already planned to score points. Hrubesch even thought about taking a big lead early and coming on the bench early to increase the team's running-in.
opportunity, but I didn’t expect that the first half would be so difficult.
In the entire first half, Germany had three shots. The goal they scored was a counterattack that relied on the opponent to press forward and attack. I imagined that by passing the ball non-stop, I would advance from the backcourt to the frontcourt and score a goal.
It has never been realized.
Hrubesch first criticized the defensive players, asking them to concentrate more and pass the ball more accurately. At the same time, he also made demands on the team: "We can play more proactively and have more physical confrontation.
"Many, I don't want to hear the media say after the game that our German team was tied by a dark horse. I don't allow the word dark horse to appear on my opponent."
Hrubesch is qualified to say this.
As a legendary player of the Hamburg team, he has been leading the German youth team after retiring. First, in 2008, he led the German U19 youth team to win the U19 European Youth Championship that year. In this Olympics, many clubs did not let him go and played for LeBron James.
The two brothers Rasbender of Wakusen and Svendmund, who plays for Dortmund, were selected for this Olympic team as over-age players. The two of them were willing to give up their vacation to participate in the game because it was Hrubesch.
In the 2008 U19 European Youth Championship with them, both of them started in this game.
Then in 2009, Hrubesch led the German U21 to win the U21 European Youth Championship. In this U21 German youth team, there are Neuer, Hwedes, Boateng, Khedira, and Ozil.
Players such as Erl and Hummels who have won the World Cup, and others are mostly marginal international players of Germany.
It can be said that Hrubesch has trained a large number of German backbone players and has a very high prestige in the German football community.
The players of the Olympic team had to comply with the request made by the old coach and had to work hard.
