Football: The immortal legend on the green field

"Germany and Panama are two different teams. Among Panama's players, only three or four who played in Mexico have received systematic training. The others are amateur players who were brought in temporarily."

"When they played against us, they simply couldn't keep up with the Chinese team's high-pressure defense, backcourt organization, and quick transitions, so there was no problem with our tactics when we played against Panama."

"But the German team is the exact opposite compared to Panama. They are all active players in the Bundesliga or players from the Bundesliga echelon. Their training intensity is obviously stronger than ours."

"If we continue to play the same way as Panama, we will be courting death. Apart from Tiote, Deng Zhuoxiang, Chen Tao and me, it will be difficult for the rest of us to keep up with the Germans' pace."

"I guess Krauchen will use the same team and tactics as in the last game to compete with the Germans. Mr. Ali Haan will definitely have different opinions. You have to support Mr. Ali Haan then."

The Germans will definitely make some small moves. This was Shen Bin’s heartfelt words last night, and it was also a piece of advice.

Gao Haiyang was skeptical at first, but this afternoon, when the organizing committee informed him that the Chinese team's No. 21 would wear the away team's jersey, Gao Haiyang got angry. According to the regulations, in the knockout stage, the team with better results in the group stage has the right to choose whether to wear the home jersey or the away jersey. The organizing committee changed the rules without consulting the Chinese team, which was a contempt for China.

What is incomprehensible is that when the organizing committee took a tough stance, Xia Yalong, who was traveling with the group, agreed to the organizing committee's unreasonable arrangements on the grounds of not causing international disputes.

Gao Haiyang was careful at the pre-match preparation meeting. When Gao Haiyang listened to the head coach's tactical lineup arrangements, just as Shen Bin expected, when Krauchen adopted almost the same personnel configuration as the previous game, he took the initiative to put forward different opinions.

What he didn't expect was that Alihan supported Krauchen's opinion.

Gao Haiyang was worried. The national youth team suddenly lost control of itself, and the game between the national youth team and the Germans went in a direction unfavorable to the team before it even started.

After the preparation meeting, Gao Haiyang walked out of the meeting room in frustration. Ali Han patted Gao Haiyang on the shoulder and said, "Gao, the coach will analyze the opponent before the game, but you cannot guarantee that the game situation will be exactly the same as your analysis. This requires the players to adapt and adjust during the game. The final decision-making power lies with the players themselves, who make judgments based on the needs on the field."

"When I was coaching the national team, during a match, a Chinese player made a mistake and I asked him why he did it. The player said that the coach had asked him to do so before."

"I told him that he should not just follow other people's opinions, but should make a more reasonable decision based on a comprehensive analysis of the situation in the game, the positions of his teammates and the opponent's defensive intentions."

"Do you know how he answered me? He actually said that what the coach said couldn't be wrong!"

"Fortunately, we have Shen Bin, who has never been a person who follows the rules."

After saying that, Ali Han raised his eyebrows and gave a weird smile.

At 9 o'clock the next morning, Gao Haiyang came to the training ground and found that Krauchen was not there. The person leading the training was Stewart, the assistant coach of Krauchen's team. Because the match between the Chinese National Youth Team and the German National Youth Team was tomorrow afternoon, the players were still focusing on recovery. Most of the players were running slowly with the ball. Only Shen Bin was leading Bai Yuefeng in one-on-one offense and defense drills, and constantly corrected some of Bai Yuefeng's defensive mistakes.

When Gao Haiyang asked why the head coach didn't show up, the assistant coach shrugged and said, "The old man has a stomachache, and the team doctor is accompanying him to the hospital to see a doctor. I will host this training..."

Gao Haiyang called Shen Bin and asked about the details. Shen Bin's answer confused Gao Haiyang, "You are the leader, so it's better for you not to know these despicable means. Don't worry! We have an overall strategy. Playing military tactics? The Germans are far behind..."

On the afternoon of July 7, more than a dozen buses brought hundreds of fans from Roda City. They had grease paint on their faces and were topless. They came to the hotel where the national youth team was located in a disorderly manner and began to sing "We Are the Champions" loudly outside the hotel, screaming like wild animals from time to time.

In the second half of the night, instead of dispersing, they set off fireworks and firecrackers within ten minutes, followed by loud laughter.

Gao Haiyang was harassed so much that he couldn't sleep at all. He was very worried about the players' rest. He was helpless and had to call the police.

But when the police arrived, they told Gao Haiyang that these fans had their own freedom and the right to express their emotions. Besides, their setting off of fireworks did not violate Dutch law and they had no right to interfere.

Then the police were withdrawn.

When he went to knock on Shen Bin's door the next morning, he saw Sun Ke walking out of the room panting.

"Why are you in this room? Where is Shen Bin?" Gao Haiyang asked.

"Brother Shen took the main players out last night and never came back. He arranged for me to come here to rest. It's so noisy! These German fans are so shameless. I didn't sleep a wink all night. Fortunately, Shen had foresight and took the main players to rest somewhere else last night. Director, I want to sleep for a while..." Sun Ke replied with a tired face.

Gao Haiyang was shocked and quickly called Shen Bin. The two talked for a few sentences. Gao Haoyang's face went from worried to relaxed after a few words.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on July 7, with half an hour left in the game, the German youth team's head coach Stewart received the starting rosters for both teams.

"Oh! Shit! That bastard Klauchen betrayed us. Fortunately, we were well prepared..."

Live studio.

Liu Jianhong also got the starting lineups of both teams. "Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the Chinese team. Goalkeeper: No. 1 Zeng Cheng."

"Guards: from left to right: No. 2 Zhang Fanlin, No. 3 Feng Xiaoting, No. 4 Lu Jianjun, No. 5 Tan Wangsong."

“中场：6号队长沈彬、7号蒂奥特、8号陈韬、10号邓桌翔、19号白岳峰。”

"The striker is No. 18 Jiang Ning from Beijing Guoan who was suspended last game."

"It seems that the Chinese team arranged three defensive midfielders today. Is this going to play the "Christmas tree" again? Coach Zhang, what do you think of the Chinese team's lineup? Can you tell the fans the reason for this choice?"
