At 2:25 a.m.
Beijing time on July 8 and 8:25 p.m. local time on July 7, South Africa, the Durban Stadium was brightly lit at night, and the Germans in white jerseys and Chinese in red jerseys were shaking hands in the field.The players on both sides barely greeted each other, even Wang Ai, Ozil, and Mertesacker only smiled at each other.Wang Ai and Lam exchanged team flags, and the Chinese team won the right to kick off.Gao Hongbo stood outside the sideline, his expression serious with a hint of nervousness, and the game was just like his expression, it was very difficult.In the first few minutes, there was no organization between the two sides, 4231 against 442, Wang Aijia Chen Tao against Trokhovsky, and after gaining a brief advantage, Schweinsteiger immediately joined the team in the prerequisite.Just achieved a balance, Ozil sideways again increased, seeing that the situation in the middle was difficult, Zhao Xuri took the initiative to approach the double core of the Chinese team composed of Wang Ai and Chen Tao, and the two sides launched a series of organizational and destruction, attack and interception, control and counter-control of the competition, the scene was extremely chaotic, even the Chinese team coaching staff with the tactical goal of "fighting for dominance" could not see the victory and defeat.The new system of the Chinese team clearly put forward the idea of system confrontation, midfield to midfield, front court to backfield, back field to front court, all have to confront, from the player's individual technology, body to the coordination and cooperation of small groups, to the gathering and dispersion between small groups, and then to the whole system's thinking and direction confrontation is simply to fight everywhere, all the time, to establish advantages in confrontation, and to find victory in confrontation.If it is a winger, a striker or even a fullback, the situation is unfavorable and you can retreat appropriately, but only the midfield duo, once you retreat, you will give up the dominance of the pitch or even the dominance of the game, which is absolutely impossible.Lao Gao and even the whole team put him here regardless of Wang Ai's attack power, just to stand up.Therefore, no matter how fierce the German team is, no matter how ugly it is, Wang Ai must stand here.Firmly nailed here!
Probably Loew also saw the key point of the Chinese team, and did not organize a systematic attack unusually, but desperately urged the players to snatch the dominance of the midfield with Wang Ai and others.Both sides seem to have forgotten the existence of the other goal, and instead stubbornly and even stubbornly demand to gain ground in the middle of the midfield!
There is no such thing as elegance, agility, or splendor, but nothing more than two beasts attacking each other with their minions.And just like that, it went on for 15 minutes.Wang Ai's sweat had mixed with blades of grass and mud, turning into something black and hanging on his face, and he felt that his physical strength had been consumed by at least one-third!
Of course, the "little pig" who was opposite him couldn't run, and Ozil, who was knocked down by him several times, couldn't stand.Suddenly, I don't know if it was the natural reaction of the German team players after their physical fitness was collectively consumed to a certain extent, or if Loew had arranged something before the game, Wang Ai, who got the diagonal pass from Zheng Zhi's feet again, and then carried the ball, suddenly found that the Germans were no longer so pressing.Although the Germans may come back after taking a breath, the Chinese team can also fight again after taking a breath!
Dominance is gained!
The German team mainly created a threat through the breakthrough and bottom of the two wingers, and the Chinese team mainly mobilized and instigated the offensive through the midfield duo.But the "trauma" caused by the 15-minute fierce confrontation on both sides is too great, and Wang Ai and Chen Tao have little energy to launch a quick counterattack in addition to their brains are still good and their footwork is still guaranteed.Similarly, Germany's two wingers, Mesut Ozil and Podolski, also consumed too much in the confrontation and could not play a sharp fast attack.On the contrary, the defenders of both sides were well preserved, so after 45 minutes of fierce battle, both sides returned to the dressing room 0-0.Heavy wheezing echoed in the locker room, no one in the Chinese team spoke, they were all hurrying to rest, Lao Gao didn't say a word until the end of the break, and everyone was ready to return to the stadium before he said: "The Germans will be more uncomfortable than us." ”At the beginning of the second half, the situation changed abruptly, the Germans didn't know what they drank at halftime, and when the Chinese team kicked off and was still playing according to the existing rhythm, they suddenly accelerated collectively and hit the Chinese team by surprise.The Chinese team, which fell behind 0:1, immediately launched a ferocious counterattack, Wang Ai and Chen Tao divided the labor, and he stayed behind to prevent the Germans from quickly counterattacking and widening the score, and Chen Tao led the team forward to contact all sides to organize attacks.The No. 2 person in the Chinese team, who has been hidden under Wang Ai's brilliance for a long time, finally has a critical moment for everyone to focus on, and a stage where he can show his talent to the fullest.Just when Wang Ai stayed behind and cautiously stared at Trokhovsky, kept an eye on Klose, responded to Sun Jihai's defense of Podolsky to the left, glanced at Zheng Zhi's defense of Ozil to the right, and took a breath to adjust his physical fitness, Chen Tao was already like the Yangtze River in front of him, and his bearing was heroic.He sometimes shoots coldly from the periphery, sometimes penetrates with the ball, sometimes suddenly splits the side, and sometimes cooperates with the breakthrough in a small area, Chen Tao, who has been honed in Spain for many years, has a moment, and even leaves the illusion that Belleron is leading the battle to Wang Ai, Li Weifeng and others in the backfield.In the 30th minute of the second half, Gao Lin of the Chinese team, who had been unable to attack for a long time, was unexpectedly injured, Lao Gao urgently dispatched Mao Jianqing to the battle, and on the other side, in order to delay time, Loew also sent a powerful Gomez to try to threaten the back of the Chinese team and relieve the pressure.In the 31st minute, Chen Tao, who fought for the last time, went deep into the German team's lineup, and made a wonderful cooperation in the penalty area with Mao Jianqing, who had just come on the field.The tall Neuer was caught off guard, watching the football roll past his feet, watching the Chinese in red turn around, bow his head, raise his arms, raise his index finger, and run to the applause of his own fans.The Germans are no longer cowering, and the Chinese are no longer careless, just like the opening 15 minutes, the green field was full of war, and the Chinese team's goal was once stormy, but the new tactical system of the Chinese team finally survived.Whenever there is a problem in the defensive line, Wang Ai will take the initiative to take the ball, control the ball, dribble the ball, delay time, and break the rhythm.There are other people who do this, such as Mao Jianqing, who has just come on the field.In the 89th minute of the game, he went to chase a promising front-court ball, but he didn't expect the opposing central defender Friedrich to be careless, and he grabbed the first point, and then saw his amazing speed and simply pulled him down.The position is in the penalty area.Penalty kick!
The cheers of the Chinese resounded throughout the stadium.Chen Tao smiled and hugged Wang Ai: "Boss, I can't hold on." ”Mao Jianqing stood behind the football, waiting for the hustle and bustle to subside, and when the referee was about to blow the whistle, he suddenly looked back at Wang Ai, Wang Ai didn't know why he approached, Xiao Mao cried with a sad face: "Boss, my idol is Baggio" "Okay, I'll come." ”Wang Ai patted Mao Jianqing's shoulder and walked to the free throw position.Mao Jianqing returned to the crowd and breathed a sigh, he knew that the boss was just too lazy to kick a penalty, but he didn't know how to kick!
Facing the tall Neuer, Wang Ai moved his shoulders, bowed slightly, and his eyes gradually widened.The solemnity and murderous intent in his eyes made Neuer seem to see a male lion that was about to pounce!
