I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 229 Role Swap
After Loew finished paying attention to defense, he suddenly tore off the tactical board in the locker room, and wiped out the tactical layout written on it!

After doing all this, Loew was quiet for more than ten seconds before speaking:
"I've been thinking about tactics for the past few days, and to be honest, my strategy is to face the Italians the way the Italians do!
It does sound a bit unbelievable!

For this reason, I have specially asked Manuel to practice saving penalty kicks in the past few days. I don’t know if we will succeed if we abandon our usual offensive tactics and turn to conservative?

But now I don't want to think about these things, whether it's defense or offense, I need you to concentrate on doing your best! "

"Before the game starts, I hope all of you can clearly know one thing."

Love stood in the middle of the locker room and slowly turned around, his gaze swept over everyone in front of him.

Everyone cast their eyes on him, and the entire locker room could hear needles falling, except for Love's voice.

"That's the next game, we have only one goal for Germany."

Love's voice suddenly rises here:

"victory!"

"I don't want a penalty shootout, I can't accept defeat, we want to win!"

At this moment, Loew has completely let go of his reason, he roared like a lion!

"For today, I have waited many, many years. In the last European Cup, we lost [-]-[-] in Ukraine, and Balotelli scored twice. It seemed like an unbreakable nightmare!

Spain, Italy!Why is my trip to the European Cup always tinged with sadness!

Why can't I, Loew, conquer Europe, and why can't our German team overcome the hurdle of Italy? !
why? !

I can't accept it, I can't accept that after I conquered the whole world, I fell on the battlefield of conquering Europe again!

I can't accept that German football is always struggling, in the shadow of Italian football! "

"Do you know how many Germans are expecting us to win today?!
That is an unimaginable number, that is the will of tens of millions of people! "

"Answer me, all gentlemen present, please answer me, can we win today?!"

Love fully reveals the desire and anger hidden in his heart.

"can!"

The unanimous answer conveyed everyone's desire for victory!
"Fuck Italy! Today!"

Love abandoned rational tactics at the last moment before going on the field.

In the European Cup, he has suppressed it for long enough!He has endured long enough!
One runner-up, one semifinal.

Now, the time has come, after winning the World Cup, after regaining players like Zhao Jinge,
He doesn't want to think about it so much anymore, he wants to take his German team to completely kill Italy in this Atlantic Matmut Stadium!
He wants to be king of all Europe in France!

As soon as night fell, fans began to enter the arena one after another. Media reporters from all over the world carried a variety of equipment to broadcast the grand event live.

The finale of the quarter-finals of this European Cup is Germany vs. Italy.

This is not only the focus of this tournament so far, but also a decisive battle of fate that fans all over the world pay attention to.

Thanks to the overwhelming publicity of the media all over the world, all fans around the world who have followed the European Cup clearly know the love and hatred between these two teams.

This is an epic battle of revenge!
Even the United States, which is known as a football desert, the New York Times reported the game before the game, thinking that this is the most watched battle among the national team games in European football so far this summer.

Not only that, as China is a football jedi, their CCTV also dispatched a dedicated reporter team immediately, and will broadcast the game live on the official media.

"The media from all over the world rushed to the Atlantic Stadium in France. This stadium with only 4000 seats is completely unable to satisfy the crowds of fans!

TV stations in nearly [-] countries and regions will broadcast the game live, and the heat of the game has been fermented all over the world! "

"This is not only a quarter-final of the European Cup, but also a festival for fans all over the world!"

……

When the players from both sides entered the stadium under the leadership of the staff, the entire stadium, more than 5 fans, all stood up and gave the warmest applause to the players of their own country.

Countless fans are frantically shouting the names of their favorite players!
The atmosphere at Atlantic Matmut Stadium was at its climax right off the bat.

"We saw that the game hadn't officially started yet. When the players from both sides entered the field, the whole stadium was already boiling!"

"Under such a warm atmosphere, I believe that this match is bound to be a bloody hand-to-hand battle!"

"There is absolutely no retreat for both sides of the game!"

"Now, let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides:

Loew's German chariot was almost at the top of the lineup, and Zhao Jinge, the strongest striker of this European Cup, was at the front of the lineup.

Muller, Kimmich, and 272 are behind him. Toni Kroos and Schweinsteiger partner double midfielders. Hewedes, Boateng, Hummels, and Hector form the defense line. Neue Paul guards the goal!
On Conte's Azzurri, the staff is not so neat. Sturaro replaced De Rossi with a thigh injury, Thiago Motta suspended, and Candreva continued to recover from his injuries.

Compared with the star-studded Italian Legion in the past, the Azzurri in front of us is slightly dim, but full of blue-collar style!
Edel and Pellet form a double forward, and De Sciglio and Florenzi partner with Feiyi on the wing.

Giaccellini, Sturaro, and Parolo cooperated in the midfield, and the defense was still served by the three veterans Chiellini, Bonucci, and Barzagli.

The goalkeeper is the teenager Buffon! "

"The opening show has ended. Schweinsteiger went over to guess the side with Buffon, the captain of the Italian team. Buffon won and got the right to serve. Schweinsteiger took the lead in choosing the side."

After the two captains returned to their own half, the referee kept looking at the watch on his wrist.

With the growing momentum of the fans on both sides, the players of the two teams are on the verge of a formidable enemy, waiting in their respective halfs.

In the middle circle, Pellet and Edel stood opposite each other.

Only a whistle was heard, and Pellet immediately kicked the ball to Edel.

Almost at the same time, the players of the German team moved after hearing the news, forming three lines with clear front, middle and back.

Kimmich, Zhao Jinge and 272 in the frontcourt attack line are the leaders, followed by Muller.

The first interception line formed by the four penetrated into the Italian midfielders in an instant.

However, their position did not press too far forward, but spread in parallel with the midfielder of the Italian team.

The central defender combination of Hummels and Boateng entangled Pellet for the first time, while Mr. Tony and Xiaozhu propped up a line of defense in front of the back line.

After the opening, the German team did not show such a strong oppressive force as in the previous games. They voluntarily gave up the pressure on Italy's backcourt and goal, and formed a tight blockade in the middle circle and its own half.

Such a slightly conservative tactical arrangement created an unusual scene after the opening.

After winning the kick-off, the Italian team, which is known for its defense, actually attacked across the board, and their three elders in the rear had already pressed near the middle circle.

And the German team, which had been extremely bloody in the previous four games, was defending intensively, as if they were going to defend and counterattack, and lived like the Italian team more than the Italian team!
Such a scene instantly confused the mentality of some Italian players, what is the situation!This is?
Ya'er!The butchers of the German team took the wrong medicine. Why is this defense, this tactic, so offensive!Is it the German version of Hatake Kakashi? !

After being slightly surprised, the veterans of the Italian team adjusted their strategy in an instant. They were well-informed, and they also guessed the German's plan.

Although I know that the Germans are waiting for them to attack, but the atmosphere has already been enhanced to this point,
It is impossible for the Italians to hand over the ball rights they got from guessing coins in vain, so the Azzurri began to continuously launch offensives in the German team's half.

After two consecutive shocks, the Italian midfielder's lack of creativity began to appear slowly.

After several consecutive offensives to no avail, Edel just kicked the ball back when Erwa passed by his side.

As soon as Sturaro stopped the ball, he heard Edel in front yelling to be careful, and then saw Muller rushing over.

In the short-distance sprint, Muller's speed is still very fast.

Sturaro immediately turned around and knocked the ball back to the defense.

After Muller saw him pass back, he didn't charge forward again, and turned around to pester Sturaro again.

Chiellini stopped the ball and looked up. The Italian players in the midfield were tightly restricted by the Germans.

"When pressing forward, you must pay attention to your own defense!"

Conte loudly reminded his defense from the sidelines.

He is very aware of the problem of his three central defenders in the backcourt, the restrictions on both sides of the penalty area are not particularly good, and the threat of being counterattacked by speed players after being too high is also quite high.

More importantly, this kind of one-sided positional attack is not an option for Italy after Pirlo's retirement. They rely more on counterattacks to score goals!

During the opening period, Italy's offensive rhythm was quite fast, and the two wingers began to attack continuously, which was also one of the ways in which they scored the most goals.

There is no way, the battle in the middle cannot be fought, and the Italians can only think of a way on the side.
