I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 171 The Last Test!

After the game ended, the German players who had won their opponents began to carnival at home. The German fans at the scene drank the beer in their hands while cheering and applauding the outstanding players.

On the other side of the field, compared to the German players who were constantly interacting with the fans while taking advantage of the excitement, the England team looked gloomy.

After the game, Taigong Huo walked back to the locker room without looking back. His livid face dissuaded Loew, who was about to go up to shake hands routinely.

One more thing is worse than one less thing. Loew saw Hodgson's look of not wanting to communicate, so he turned around and joined the carnival of the German players.

England's players, like their manager, don't want to see their opponents celebrating at all. Such a game is a great shame for them.

How many years?Although the strength of the England national team is constantly declining, they have never lost like this in these years!

Losing four to zero, this score is the biggest difference England has been kicked out in international competitions in the past 20 years, plus it still lost to the German team.

The England team hardly dared to think how manic the post-match public opinion would be after this game.

At least with the pissing nature of the British media, all the players of the national team, including the head coach, have to hang up in newspapers and portals of all sizes for at least a week!
In particular, Sterling and the regent Joe Hart, who made mistakes and lost the ball, are definitely the focus of attracting media firepower.

Before the Premier League and the world-renowned Champions League quarter-finals start in April, they will not be able to get off the stigmata.

In the selection session after the game, Zhao Jinge, who performed a hat-trick, won the title of best player of the game as expected.

Later, when the awards were presented, Zhao Jinge, you accepted a quick interview from the reporters. When the reporter asked Zhao Jinge how he felt when he scored the second hat-trick of his career in the official game of the national team.

Zhao Jinge did not forget to tease his Manchester City teammates:
"Of course I'm very happy, I can't believe that I can play such a wonderful performance.

But more thanks to my teammates, if not for their contributions and help, I would not have gotten so many opportunities.

Especially Joe and Raheem, without them I would never have scored so many goals! "

"Who? Zhao said two incredible names from your mouth!"

A funny smile appeared on the face of the reporter who asked the question:

"Zhao, Joe and Rahim will cry if they hear your interview."

"Don't worry, their psychological quality is one of the best, well, no kidding, I can already foresee how miserable they will be scolded by the fans, amen."

After the quick interview, Zhao Jinge returned to the locker room and immediately received a "warm welcome".

Today's locker room celebration was particularly enthusiastic, and the stadium staff even provided a small amount of beer for the players to use.

The next game is four days later, and it is at the juncture of a big victory. For these players who want to have a good time, Loew just turned a blind eye and did not prohibit these players They drink a little.

As today's biggest protagonist, Zhao Jinge, of course, was not spared from the disaster, and was poured into the room as soon as he entered the door.

The entire locker room was full of joy, and Zhao Jinge also took this opportunity to deepen his relationship with several national team teammates who had a good relationship.

Compared with the locker room full of laughter and cursing, the scene of the post-match press conference is much more serious.

The head coaches of the two teams did not bring players for interviews today.

Both Loew and Hodgson came to the venue alone, but with a smile on their faces. , a dignified look.

The post-match press conference began. The reporters first congratulated the German team for their victory, and then interviewed Hodgson in unison.

Especially those media from the UK, they are like hungry wolves staring at a sheep, and can't wait to criticize the England national team coach.

Facing the bombardment of reporters, Hodgson couldn't speak.

"How do you evaluate England tonight?! Who should be responsible for the result of this game!"

Facing the problem of splitting the pot from the very beginning, Hodgson could only bite the bullet and tell the truth:
"I think everything was clear tonight: we conceded four goals, which meant we could have done better in some ways, but the results were obviously different.

At the beginning of the game, our offense was very smooth, which is definitely a positive performance. At the beginning of the first half, we once took the initiative on the court.

But the German team's reaction was too fast. They stabilized the situation after the initial panic, and then launched a swift counterattack.

Like our offense, the German team was very dangerous offensively, and they broke our goal quickly again and again.

We could have scored a couple of goals at the start of the second half, we had chances but were a little bit unlucky because the opponents were fighting in the penalty area and Neuer showed what a world-class goalkeeper could be.

Then there was the continuous loss of goals in the second half of the first half. We failed to complete the defense better, and I failed to make practical adjustments on the sidelines.

It was indeed a mistake, because the way we conceded the ball several times was exactly the same, and the counterattack of the German team directly penetrated our defense.

The performance of the players on the defensive end is really bad. It can even be said that our four goals were lost in this way.

On behalf of the players, I would like to apologize to all British fans. We did not stop Zhao Jinge, and my defensive tactics against him did not work.

We should have completed the defense better, there were obviously enough players around, but no one could intercept Zhao Jinge.

Every time we play against the German team, it is the most intense contest, whether it is a friendly match or a game like the European Cup.

But it is obvious that our performance today was very bad. We will conduct a deep review and conduct a detailed replay analysis of this game, trying to avoid the recurrence of a situation like today's game.

If anyone is responsible for the game, it should be me. After all, I underestimated Zhao Jinge in the defensive arrangement before the game.

It is normal for the players to have ups and downs. They have just experienced the club's competition, and after a few days of rest, there is another high-intensity national team competition.

I hope everyone can continue to maintain confidence in the national team, and in the next friendly match, I can guarantee that the situation like today will not happen again! "

At the end of his speech, Hodgson took the initiative to memorize most of the responsibility for the loss of the game. He did not dare to shift all the responsibility for the loss of the game to the players.

But it can be seen that he is a little reluctant, as he said, the performance of the England players today is really bad.

He felt he was taking the blame for his players.

Hodgson clearly knows that at this critical juncture approaching the European Cup, it is always impossible for the FA to change coaches hastily.

And he also has self-knowledge, as far as the current British national team bullies and bullies some weak teams, it is okay, but if it encounters strong teams like Germany and France, it will definitely be broken at the first touch.

The performance of the England national team in this European Cup will definitely not be very good. If it can enter the quarter-finals, it will be considered a high profile.

After this European Cup, I am afraid that even if I don't want to, I will propose to resign. At least I can gain a face.

His coaching performance is indeed not good, and those British media who are making trouble have long been clamoring for him to leave the national team.

"Do you think this defeat will have an impact on your prestige? Is there something wrong with your insistence on four-three-three tactics? Given England's recent inconsistent performance, are you at risk of leaving?"

The second question still pointed directly at Hodgson.

Hodgson smiled reluctantly, and made his own answer bitterly:
"I see that everyone thinks so, which is understandable, but in reality it is not.

Because I told the players directly after the game that something different happened tonight, it was the exact opposite of what we wanted.

We made mistakes conceding goals and yes we admit our defeat.

I have also said several times that a failure is a failure if you do not learn from it, and we can learn from it after failure.

After all, this is just a friendly match, and we still have time and possibility to make amends. At least the mistakes we made today will not be shown in the European Cup.

We still have the possibility of thinking and remedying!
On the other hand, tonight we started both halves very well attacking.

In short, we played the way we wanted to play, we became what we wanted to be and that's what we have to keep doing.

So if we let this result affect us, then we are really stupid.

We've got a few days and we're going to make sure we get the right stuff out of this game.

Although this game definitely had some impact on the future of the team.

But I hope he can inspire shame in the players, make them work harder in future games, and find what they lost in the next match.

There is no problem with our offense, and the focus of the subsequent supplements will be on defense. I will use some new players who have performed well in the league, and I will make corresponding adjustments in the formation.

As for the risk of leaving, I don't know yet. I believe that some small setbacks will not affect my coaching journey in England.

I will continue to lead England to this European Championship," he said.

After answering the two questions, Hodgson got up and left the venue directly, not wanting to continue entanglement with these reporters.

He also needed to rush back to the dressing room to comfort his players and fly overnight to England for another friendly at home.

Regarding Loew's question, the reporter's question seemed quite friendly. The reporters who asked the question were mainly German media. After all, after a big victory, the interaction between these German reporters and Loew seemed extremely harmonious.

When reporters asked him what he thought of the game, Loew's answer also left a little face for the opponent:
"It was an intense game and I want to congratulate my team.

Because during this period of time, we need to fight against powerful opponents in order to test the strength of the team and some loopholes that cannot be found in normal training.

So in the selection of opponents for friendly matches, we will choose one of the strongest teams, and the opponents are always very difficult to deal with.

But our boys have contributed such a wonderful victory to us at home. This is a great victory that cannot be met, and it is such a strong opponent as England.

It's worth celebrating, and to tell you the truth, I lifted the alcohol ban tonight, and the players can drink some beer in small quantities. "

Hearing Loew's words, the reporters at the scene knew that he was deliberately raising the value of his opponent, and they all proposed such a disparity in the score, and they kept saying how strong their opponent was, which was too Versailles.

"But we have to admit we didn't start well, they got off to a good start, they came through their flanks, they made a fantastic transition and Sturridge ended up with a fantastic finish.

Then we adjusted, the players played very intelligently, played to their strengths, and we broke the opponent's goals consecutively in the first half.

Of course, the mistakes of the opponents and the lack of attention to the defensive end are a big help for us to achieve such a disparity in scores! "

As expected, there are as many players as there are coaches. Zhao Jinge, the number one contributor to the German team's win, teased his Manchester City teammates. You, the head coach, don't forget to name your opponent's mistakes at the end of the interview.

It's like putting Sterling and Joe Hart on the grill, just for the interview of the German team's mentor and apprentice. At the German team's celebration banquet, if these two guys don't move their chopsticks, others don't at all Qualified to take a seat on the table!
After a night of joyous celebrations, the German team went into rest and preparations. Their next opponent, the Italian team, had already departed for Frankfurt Airport after their match with the British team.

Compared with the poor defense of the British, the Italian defense composed of Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli and Buffon is definitely the strongest defensive combination in the world.

Their outstanding performance not only helped Juventus reach the final of last year's Champions League, but also created a horror record of conceding only three goals in [-] Champions League games before the final in the Champions League next season.

Definitely a flowing concrete line of defense!
Now Italy is fully worthy of the title of the strongest defensive team in Europe. If the German team can overcome Italy's steel defense, then Loew's transformation of the team's offensive power can be considered to have reached a satisfactory height.

Compared with the English, Italy is Loew's last test for the German team!
