I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 230 Merit
"Maybe the Italians now look at the German formation as if they were looking in a mirror!"

10 minutes have passed since the opening, and the Germans' [-] formation looks more like the same style as Italy's [-] most of the time.

Hewedes shrunk to the middle, Hector moved forward to partner with Kimmich on the wings, 272 began to cruise to the middle, and the Germans were preparing for a forward counterattack while maintaining a tight defense.

With the stability of their own half, the Germans began to spread the influence of counter-grabbing and oppression to the Italian half, and the players in the midfield began to gradually press up.

With a top striker like Zhao Jinge in front as a fulcrum, Muller and 272 also began to wait for an opportunity to pull the Italian defense line and create opportunities for teammates who came in behind.

German players may be the strongest in the world at present in terms of pass control and organizational ability. The midfield players are all the core players of the major giants, and the original tactics are very mature. Coupled with the increasingly skilled cooperation, the Germans The attack began to exert force.

Seeing that the game was about to reach 15 minutes, Italy handed over the ball to Florenzi on the right when he made a quick ball from the backcourt.

In today's [-] formation, the Azzurri do not have regular full-backs, and can only rely on wing-backs for wing attacks.

And Florenzi is the most active side of the Italian offense.

After getting the ball, the Italian right wing-back moved forward quickly, and was blocked by Hector just as he was about to cross the center line.

Florenzi tried to pass the ball to Pellet who retreated to respond, and then rushed forward quickly to form a cooperation.

Unexpectedly, Hummels suddenly went forward and poked the ball, so that Pellet did not get the ball.

Schweinsteiger, who turned around and returned to the defense, received the ball first. Before Florenzi, who counter-robbed on the spot, approached, he quickly passed the ball to Toni Kross.

Florenzi abandoned Schweinsteiger and went straight to Mr. Tony, trying to put pressure on the German team's midfield organization.

After Mr. Tony stopped the ball, he passed it back to Hewedes who was dragged at the end.

At this time, Edel quickly chased the German central defender.

This time difference is enough for Hewedes, who is a full-back, to easily divert Kroos's pass. He glanced ahead, saw Edel approaching, and sent a long pass accurately.

The football crossed an elegant arc from the front of the German team's penalty area, leaped through the layers of defense, and fell to the back of the Italian defense.

On the left side of the front center of the German team, a high-speed silhouette is sprinting fast.

The German fans in the entire stadium suddenly boiled up, and the German team's counterattack began!

In this tactical system in Italy, the reason why Florenzi dared to press forward boldly, and even after losing the ball, his first choice was not to return to the defense in time but to counterattack on the spot. It was because behind him, three The right midfielder of the midfielder is Parolo, and the other point is because of the old and strong Barzagli!

The two Italian defensive players will always stay behind Florenzi, assisting Florenzi to fill in.

When Hector moved forward at the fastest speed, chasing the long pass from Hewedes, Parolo also tried his best to return to the defense.

Behind Hector, Florenzi also realized that his press was useless in the face of the German pass control, and began to chase back desperately.

Hector was on the left line, which was almost at the same level as the Italian penalty area, and caught up with Hevedes' long pass, but Parolo kept chasing him inside. Although he was a little behind, as long as the ball was stopped , was caught up immediately.

And Florenzi behind him also caught up.

The speed of the Italian right wing back is quite fast.

At this moment, Hector had a flash of inspiration, and the whole person suddenly stopped, and stopped Hewedes' long pass to the inside with his left foot.

Parolo couldn't stop rushing over the head, and the ball that Hector stopped landed right behind him, and there was Zhao Jinge who came to meet him.

After Zhao Jinge received the ball, he changed to cut inside and rushed from behind Parolo to the penalty area.

But Parolo is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. He is very experienced and quick enough to react. With a nimble turn around, Zhao Jinge, who had started quickly, completely threw himself off, and directly fell to the ground and put the shovel.

Zhao Jinge, who had been holding back for ten minutes after the opening, completely let go of his hands and feet, and started his bold operation.

At this moment, Parolo was on his left side, and Barzani was blocked in the penalty area, just on the line of Zhao Jinge's inward cut. When he saw that Parolo was about to tackle, Barzani immediately went to Block Zhao Jinge's dodging angle, for fear that this evil star will break through!

But at this moment, Zhao Jinge, who had originally cut inwards, suddenly stabbed the ball to the right of Barzagli. After narrowly avoiding Parolo's tackle, he changed direction again, slanting to the baseline , inserted into the restricted area of ​​​​Italy.

The entire Atlantic Matmut Stadium is completely boiling!
The uncontrollable exclamation of the German fans resounded throughout the stadium.

Zhao Jinge rushed into the big penalty area, caught up with the football on the left side of the small penalty area, glanced at the penalty area, and threw a pass with his left foot.

The football was picked up and fell right in front of the penalty area.

Until this time, Muller was like a elusive civet, grabbing the football before Bonucci!

After the football was kicked by Muller, it turned in one direction and flew quickly towards the right side of the Italian team's goal.

Buffon standing in the middle of the goal is beyond reach!
"GOAL!!!!!!"

"Thomas Muller!"

"Only No. 17 minutes! Ten 7 minutes!!!"

When Erwa scored the goal, Bonucci's hand was still holding his jersey, but he turned around and rushed to the sideline after a little effort, leaving only Bonucci standing at the front of the small penalty area, dumbfounded .

The entire Atlantic Matmut Stadium is shouting Muller's name!
More than 3 German fans rushed out of their seats, shouting and roaring at the top of their lungs!

Loew was originally concerned. When he saw Zhao Jinge passing two opponents in a row and making a cross with his left foot, he couldn't help clenching his fist. When he saw Muller rushing to shoot the ball into Italy On the right side of the team's goal, Loew rushed out of the coach's bench excitedly!

Then he heard the crisp whistle, which represented an effective goal, and his whole body was overwhelmed by surprise, and he cheered uncontrollably.

Behind him, the German team's coaching staff and substitute players also rushed out, all hugging Loew vigorously.

Everyone, like Love, was so excited that he couldn't get any more excited, shouting and venting at the top of his lungs.

"I really didn't expect that just after the opening stage of the first half, the German team scored the goal of Italy first."

"It was very surprising."

"All fans who watched the German team's game will not be unfamiliar with the German team's opening goal, which is their signature in this tournament!
But I didn't expect that the German team would be able to take the lead in the opening defense, which is quite beneficial for their next game. "

"It can be seen that the players of the German team are in better condition, and their attention is more concentrated after the opening!"

"This gives people a feeling that Conte does not seem to have targeted deployment of the German team's defensive counterattack tactics after the opening.

Of course, this was indeed beyond his expectations, because everyone, including the media and fans, said before the game that the German team's opening was very aggressive and aggressive, so we must be careful. "

"As a result, no one expected that the German team would be so conservative, and no one would have expected that their grasp of opportunities and their sensitivity to counterattacks would be so high!"

"One to zero, for Italy, the current situation is difficult to handle."

"The situation is not good!"

In the chairman's stand, seeing that Italy was scored by the German team just after the opening stage, the expressions of all the famous Italians turned ugly, especially Carlo Ancelotti, who came to watch the game, shook his head again and again .

"The German team played a very good rhythm. Now that they scored a goal, it seems to have given them another shot in the arm. Loew must let his players continue to work in this direction. Italy is passive. .”

And it turns out so.

After the re-kick-off, the German team did not rush to launch a violent press towards Italy, but focused on attacking to the right while maintaining a certain intensity of pressure.

On the other hand, there is no lack of tacit understanding and running ability in Italy's midfield and backcourt. What they really lack is a commander!

Italy conceded the ball at the beginning and was caught off guard. Coupled with the particularity of this game, they were a little messy on the scene.

In Juventus or Italy a few years ago, the midfielder was Pirlo with a thug, or Gattuso or De Rossi, and Pirlo remained the same.

But this European Cup, Pirlo is old, and the first and second generation successors Montolivo and Verratti are absent due to injuries.

The midfield configuration has changed to Giacherini, Parolo, Sturaro and others. It is difficult to play the ball, and the counterattack efficiency is reduced. There is a physical strength, but it lacks the aura of Pirlo Xavi's kick. The team's unscrupulous frontcourt pressing and Loew's tactical surprise have also caused the current decline in Italy.
