[football] walk side by side

"This free kick is 30 meters away from the Portuguese goal. What choice will Schweinsteiger make? Direct free kick to score? Or cooperate with teammates to attack the goal?"

With Schweinsteiger standing still in front of the football, Portugal also lined up the human wall at the same time. Two seconds later, the referee blew his whistle at the right time.

At the same moment when the whistle sounded, Schweinsteiger swung his foot and shot!The ball bypassed the human wall and was hoisted high into the penalty area!

The ball was not heading towards the goal. From the very beginning, Schweinsteiger did not think that he could directly score this free kick. He hung it into the penalty area to create chaos in front of the goal, and amidst the chaos , is the best time for German players to play!

After all, Portugal's air defense is weak, and after three group games, it's already an open secret.Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, Germany itself is extremely good at heading the ball, so naturally it will not let go of such a good opportunity.

It really is a golf ball!

At the same time, this idea just sounded in Cyril's mind. Before he could make a move, in a blink of an eye, a player wearing a German jersey jumped high in the penalty area, facing the ball. Shaking his head, he pushed the football hard towards the net!

When he jumped up, there wasn't even a Portuguese player beside him!Originally responsible for the "guard" in the penalty area should be Ferreira, but he made a mistake at the most critical moment.When the opponent headed the ball into the net, Ferreira could only stand one meter away and stare in a daze.

Carvalho's position is a little later than Ferreira's, and this alone can basically announce the work that Carvalho was originally responsible for-making offside errors.

The only one closest to the jumping German player was Cristiano, who immediately realized Schweinsteiger’s intention and chased back. However, compared with the opponent player who was ambush in the penalty area earlier, his movement was obviously much slower one chip.

Ricardo reacted in time and immediately jumped up to save, but the angle of the header was too tricky. He judged the correct direction in a short time, and the ball even wiped his arm. But in the end, he could only watch the ball jump from his fingertips into the net!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! Miloslav Klose!! Germany's second goal!! Miroslav Klose from the World Cup golden boot!! It's a header of very high quality and the angle is so tricky It is hard to imagine that this is a header! Ricardo can do nothing about it! In the 26th minute of the game, Germany expanded the score through a free kick opportunity. The World Cup Golden Boot, which had not scored a goal before, finally broke his scoring drought! "

"One pass, one shot! Less than half an hour into the game, German player Bastian Schweinsteiger delivered a satisfactory answer. He opened the scoring for Germany with a shot, breaking the deadlock, and at the same time took advantage of a free kick Assisting Klose further consolidated Germany's advantage."

Curt, the commentator of the game, is a neutral player. Although Klose's goal made him excited, he did not go crazy.He was happy for Germany's goal for a while, and soon turned his attention to Portugal.

"Carvalho and Ferreira are mostly responsible for this goal. Carvalho's position was too far back, which is the main reason why Portugal failed to make an offside. Not to mention Ferreira, he didn't There was no marking, when Miroslav Klose jumped up in the penalty area, he didn't even react - is he crazy to ignore a World Cup golden boot in a European game?"

"Since this European Cup, Klose's performance is indeed not as impressive as the last World Cup. Maybe this is why Portugal has let down its vigilance? But it turns out that Klose is always Klose! It paid the price!"

When the second goal was born, Loew, who was sitting in the stands, finally showed a smile.

He is no longer as excited as he was when the first goal came, and the advantage of two goals is enough to let him relax a little bit, of course - the most important thing is that so far, everything is as he planned before the game.

Assistant coach Flick also seemed relieved. He didn't actually make any additional changes, but it seems that the situation on the field at this time is almost the same as the coach's tactical concept, or even better.This is of course the best thing.

On the other side of the coach's bench, Scolari's expression sank, but there was only helplessness and bitterness in his heart.

In this game, Ferreira's performance was really terrible. He only won two of the seven one-on-one confrontations. There was nothing he could do about Schweinsteiger, who was superior in technology and speed.Perhaps no one expected that it would be a defender who finally decided the direction of the game, right?

In fact, Scolari didn't plan to use Ferreira originally, but Portugal's defense line was really short of people. In desperation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and write Ferreira into the list.

Nearly 30 minutes have passed since the game at this moment, but both conceded goals are directly related to Ferreira. However, under such circumstances, Scolari still cannot replace Ferreira-compared to the old Valente, the poor Ribeiro, Ferreira is his only choice.

The defensive line cannot be strengthened and changed, so we can only start from the front line, but the front line...

The ball was sent to Cristiano by Deco. Although the formation is a double midfielder, in actual effect, the position between Deco and Cyril is more like an exchange with the Porto period. Cyril sits in the middle The offense and defense are organized behind the field, and Deco's forward penetration is more frequent, and Deco is mainly responsible for the connection between the midfield and the front field.

At this moment, after a small-scale cooperation with Cristiano, Deco did not try to take the ball forward again. He passed the ball back to the wing, and the ball returned to Cristiano's feet again. Swipe to the left, just to avoid Friedrich's flying tackle, before the next German player catches up, he pushes the football forward, speeds up and runs forward, and regains control of the ball under his feet.

He didn't think about passing the ball. At this moment, there are very few players who break through to the penalty area at the same time as him. Most importantly, there is no gap in the penalty area in Germany, even though Gomez is standing at a distance not too far from him. place, but the orderly positioning of the German defenders made it difficult for Cristiano to find the time and opportunity to pass the ball.

Since the ball cannot be passed, it can only be forced to shoot.

The space and angle of this position are actually not suitable for shooting, but at this time, seeing that Portugal's offense is about to return in vain, they can only try to shoot.

Thinking of this, Cristiano didn't hesitate anymore, he didn't try to dribble the ball forward, but kicked on the spot and kicked a long shot!

The ball was thrown by Lehmann, and Ballack immediately made a big-foot clearance and drove the ball towards the middle circle.

The Portuguese fans let out a sigh of regret.

Cyril's thinking did not come to an end because of this failed attack.

At this moment, he is still urgently thinking about the scene just now - as usual, Portugal's advancement is generally not too difficult, but once it is close to the penalty area, the closer it is to the goal, the more difficult it is to move forward. Most of the defensive players are piled outside the penalty area, but they can block the best shooting angle of the Portuguese players as soon as possible while minimizing the space in some areas.

Loew did not deliberately mark Cristiano, but successfully limited Cristiano's performance.

As long as the space problem after the breakthrough of Cristiano and Simão cannot be solved, Portugal's winger is equivalent to useless!

In terms of strength on paper, there is no big gap between Germany and Portugal. The strength of the two sides is almost the same. If you look at the comments from the outside world, even many fans and media are more optimistic about Portugal-but the facts at this time However, Portugal was strictly restricted by Germany throughout the game, and it was impossible to use punches, let alone score goals.

Thinking of this, Cyril turned his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the German coach in the stands.

This kind of gap in the scene is not so much a lack of strength, but a tactical suppression.If Scolari cannot respond and make changes quickly, Portugal may be in danger in this game.

However, at this moment, Scolari was standing on the edge of the court, frowning, as if he was thinking about how to save the score, and it didn't look like he could make a decision in a flash.

He sighed slightly in his heart, and for a moment he couldn't tell what emotion was in his heart.

According to the usual practice, many head coaches will formulate corresponding tactics based on various possibilities before the game. For example, Mourinho, whether it is Porto period or Chelsea period, he will guess all possible situations before the game starts. , and think about countermeasures.Another example is the German coach sitting high in the stands at the moment. Although he was not able to direct on the spot, everything on the field has actually been in his plan since the start of the game.

In fact, in previous games, Scolari did the same.However, in this game alone, Scolari did not design a backup plan for the team's offense at all. At this time, the two wings are broken, which is equivalent to the break of Portugal's offensive line.

Cristiano and Simao in the frontcourt lost their support, and no matter how strong their breakthrough ability is, it would be difficult to grab a good opportunity in the frontcourt.Cyril in the backcourt was tired by the Portuguese defense, and he often had to be distracted from organizing the offense to defending, not to mention advancing forward to form a cooperation with the frontcourt.

One stays up front, making constant futile attempts; the other gets stuck in the back, exhausted.

Since he was promoted to the first team in Porto and officially participated in the game as a professional player, Cyril has participated in countless professional games. He has encountered various unusual dangers so far, but there has never been a single one The game gave him such a sense of loss and helplessness.

The small cooperation between the players is still tacit, but it is strictly limited to a small area.The teammates are clearly in sight, but they seem out of reach because of the huge gap between the front and back courts.You can't go forward, and you can't go back.

It can be said that there is no help.
