On the evening of June 29, the European Cup final kicked off at the Happel Arena in Vienna, Austria.
Su Dong not only appeared at the scene, but also sat on the rostrum.
UEFA President Platini knew that Su Dong was watching the European Cup, not only the Portugal game, but Su Dong also took the time to watch many other games, so he invited Su Dong to attend the closing ceremony through Beckenbauer.
Wang Chuqing was sitting next to Su Dong, and on the other side was Bayern Chairman Beckenbauer.
They are also surrounded by celebrities in European football and even world football, and each one of them is a well-known legend.
One of the important reasons why Su Dong pays attention to this battle is that both sides are very familiar to him.
Needless to say about the German team, Bayern teammates Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Podolski and Klose are all in the current German national team.
There are even more on the Spanish side, including David Silva Iniesta and Marcos Senna, three young followers, and three former teammates, Xavi, Puyol and Marchena.
Casillas, Ramos, Xavi Alonso and Torres are also very familiar with Su Dong.
How could he miss such a game?
…
At the beginning of the game, the German team played well and created threats repeatedly.
But the good times didn't last long, and then the game entered Spain's rhythm.
Iniesta and Torres, in particular, frequently attacked the German team's left wing, which is the side where Lahm is stationed.
In the 14th minute, Torres knocked back and Xavi passed the ball straight into the penalty area. Iniesta dunked the defender and then passed the ball across. Metzelder almost hit the ball into his own goal, but fortunately goalkeeper Lehmann saved it in time.
Spain's quick and quick style of play makes it very difficult for the German team to defend. Iniesta, in particular, performed so well. He has improved a lot compared to when he played alongside Sudong.
very obvious.
Afterwards, Spain seemed to find its offensive rhythm.
Fabregas knocked back, Ramos passed into the penalty area, and Torres beat Mertesacker with a header that hit the crossbar.
This is again the left flank of the attacking German team.
"The left wing is a bit tight now, and the midfielder's support for the left wing is not enough. It is very dangerous if this continues." Su Dong shook his head.
The German team is now in a very bad situation. They can't grab the ball from Spain, and they can't control Spain with the ball. This makes the scene very passive. What's more terrible is that Spain frequently creates dangers on Lahm's side, but the players on the field and
Loew has no intention of supporting the left wing.
In fact, as early as in the semi-final match against Turkey, although Lahm was elected as the best player of the game, he had a big defensive problem on the left. Aragones obviously saw this, so from the beginning of the game
, just play unswervingly on the left flank of the German team.
Being beaten on the left, the German team's entire attack was contained by the opponent.
"Lahm can handle it," Beckenbauer said.
Su Dong turned his head, glanced at the Football Emperor, and then looked at the stadium. He didn't know whether Beckenbauer overestimated Lahm? Or underestimated Spain?
At least Sudong knows very well that Ramos, Iniesta and Torres, when these three players are active on this side, any defense line in the world will feel huge pressure, let alone the current left side of the German team.
Just rely on Ram.
Sure enough, Marcos Senna passed the ball through, Xavi stopped the ball, turned around, and sent another through ball.
Torres crossed the ball into the penalty area, and goalkeeper Lehmann abandoned the goal. Lahm immediately blocked Torres behind him, trying to buy Lehmann time to save the ball.
What I didn't expect was that Torres suddenly overtook Lahm in a corner and was extremely fast. He got ahead of Lehmann and sent the ball into the German team's goal. One to zero!
Beckenbauer was surprised to concede the goal, but Su Dong did not feel this way.
Maybe it's because he knows Spain, so he knows the strength of this team and this group of players.
But in the eyes of others, things are not like this.
This is why Aragones caused such a huge controversy around the world after he did not bring Raul.
In the eyes of everyone, Raul is the symbol of Spain and the core fighting force of Spain.
But who would have thought that without Raul, Spain would change its style of play and adopt a style of play similar to that of Barcelona, with Marcos Senna at the back, Xavi and Iniesta in the middle, and David
Players such as Silva and Torres have made Spain play smoother, faster and more impactful.
What Torres is best at, isn't it frontal impact?
From this point of view, when Aragones decided to attack the German team's left wing, Lahm was destined to be miserable.
Ram was responsible for the goal he conceded just now, or at least it was a mistake in judgment.
…
At the end of the game, the German team was unable to reverse the situation.
Even though Loew later replaced Kuranyi and Gomez, and the offense improved, it still failed to change the situation on the court.
Spain, with Barcelona players in the midfield, was very dominant, leaving the German team powerless.
In the end, the German tanks lost 0 to 1.
Aragones led Spain to win the European Cup.
After 44 years, Spain finally takes the lead in European football again!
…
"Su, what do you think of this game?" Beckenbauer suddenly asked.
Su Dong knew that the Football Emperor wanted to test himself, so he thought about it immediately and said: "If the goal is conceded, Lahm is responsible, but judging from the performance of the entire game, Spain deserves to win the championship, there is no doubt about it."
, the German team is far behind its opponents in terms of overall strength, but when it comes to the game, it is possible to go zero-to-zero."
Football matches are like this, full of all kinds of contingencies.
If it hadn't been for Ram's mistake, maybe tonight would have been zero to zero.
But the overall strength of the German team is weaker than that of Spain. It goes without saying that everyone who has watched the game knows it.
"Where is Loew?" Beckenbauer asked again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Su Dong nodded, "Very capable, soft-tempered, lacking in on-the-spot adjustments, but overall, very good."
After hearing this, Beckenbauer burst out laughing.
He found that Su Dong is a player who really likes to think, which is very rare.
Only those who know how to use their brains can win!
"You know what? The German team under Loew's coaching has improved faster than we expected. With such a team lineup, it can reach the European Cup final. To be honest, no one will question it."
Su Dong agreed with Beckenbauer's statement. With the German team's lineup, they could reach the final and only lose one goal even against Spain. This in itself is enough to explain the problem.
"We still have to wait. When the Bundesliga becomes more prosperous, people of Toni Kroos's generation should also take the lead. By then, the German team will truly have completed its transformation. I believe that the German team will be even better at that time.
It will be more competitive and more effective, but Spain will be old by then."
The big difference between the national team and the club is that the national team relies on the youth training of its own country.
Things like youth training are difficult to figure out. The risks are too great and the success rate is too low, but there will always be a wave of incidents every few years.
Spain is now in an era where talents are emerging, especially from Iniesta and David Silva to Cesc Fabregas and Torres. It can be said that there is a gathering of talents.
Now, they have achieved results!
Judging from Spain's current performance, they will still be the favorites for the World Cup in two years' time, and their overall strength may even be stronger than now, because Iniesta and others will be more mature by then.
As for the German team, Beckenbauer said it would have to wait until Toni Kroos' generation.
Toni Kroos is now seventeen or eighteen years old. When he matures and forms combat effectiveness, it will be at least twenty-two or twenty-four years old. In other words, it will not be until 2012 at the earliest, and most likely.
The one was in 2014 or 2016.
This is the difference between the national team and the club.
The club can introduce suitable players according to the needs of the team, and immediately make the team more complete and more combat-effective, but the national team cannot, they can only rely on the cultivation of talents from their own youth training.
The ups and downs of the national team's performance can be traced, and the performance in the next few years can be clearly predicted based on the degree of talent emergence.
But what really touched Su Dong was not Beckenbauer's expectations for the future of the German team, but their long-term plan.
Not only Germany, but as far as the Soviet Union knows, Spain is also like this.
Although football is very popular in these countries, on the other hand, their youth training is also down-to-earth in making long-term plans.
Needless to say, Spain is now in its harvest period, and the German team, according to what Su Dong learned, Beckenbauer and others have foreseen the shortage of German football talents since 1998 and began to initiate youth training reforms.
, starting from the bottom, radically reforming the German youth training system.
It takes ten years to cultivate talents. It was the youth training reform ten years ago that allowed the German team to reach the European Cup finals ten years later and to have young talents like Toni Kroos.
Now, the German team is experiencing a wave of growth and has hopes of competing in the European Cup and even the World Cup in the future.
Su Dong admires the long-term planning of Germany, and even the European football powers, as well as their youth training. Looking back at his own motherland...
This European Cup final seemed to be just a game, but it taught Su Dong an extremely vivid football lesson.
At least, he knows more clearly than ever before how football should be played!
How to build a world-class team!
…
While Su Dong was thinking about youth training, Beckenbauer was thinking about him.
Loew has proposed his favor to Sudong in front of the football emperor more than once, and judging from tonight's final, the weakest link of the German team is the center, lacking a world-class center.
There is a shortage not only now, but also in the foreseeable future.
Who would have thought that the German team, which had world-class centers such as Gerd Muller, Klinsmann, and Bierhoff, now does not have a top center. How is this so embarrassing?
If Su Dongpo can be naturalized, it will definitely greatly enhance Germany's competitiveness.
At least against Spain tonight, the German team will be more confident.
Although Su Dong has clearly rejected many invitations to the national team, Beckenbauer is still determined to find a chance to try and test his skills.
