I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 239 The French team in desperation!
Deschamps watched his two full-backs being severely beaten, but couldn't come up with any effective solutions for a while. Those two on the field were already the best full-backs he could come up with. .

And what makes him even more embarrassed is that in his big list, there are no other orthodox full-backs except Sagna and Evra.

In the previous five games, the two veterans played every game!

Of course, this is also because Sagna got enough rest in the second half of the season in Manchester City, Evra's physical condition is also maintained very well, and the French team's squad selection is so bold.

However, this further reflects that the French team's full-backs really have no one available.

Otherwise, Deschamps would not be so stubborn, and really has been counting on two veterans in their thirties to work hard for the national team.

Substitution is impossible, don't say you don't have a suitable candidate.

Even if there is, this operation of substituting players in the first 10 minutes is definitely a bad idea to mess up the situation.

Deschamps could only helplessly shout to the field to let the French team withdraw its overall formation, and Payet and Griezmann also retreated back to help the full-backs stabilize the defense as much as possible.

So not long after the game started, the French team put on a look like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water under the noses of more than 5 French fans at the scene, and completely huddled and defended.

Such a decisive attitude made the more than 5 French fans who had been singing the Marseillaise a little bit overwhelmed, and the loud and powerful singing became a little dim.

Yes, every French fan has a vague idea of ​​how Deschamps will make adjustments after watching the German team's targeted attack after the opening game, combined with their own team's personnel reserves.

Defense, Deschamps' French team is like this, facing the weak team four three three, facing the strong team directly with a steady defensive counterattack.

There is definitely nothing wrong with this idea. After all, no matter how ugly the scene is, winning is the last word.

But to put it bluntly, we fans are still singing the passionate and majestic Marseillaise, and the players on the field immediately made a tactical move more like Italy than Italy. How much difference does it make?

In fact, just like the German team has a decades-long record of invincibility against Italy, the French team also has a decades-long history of embarrassment in front of the German team.

Coupled with the various strengths shown by the current German team along the way, in fact, many French fans have already shown a sense of emphasis on participation before the game.

To sum it up in one sentence, is it difficult to win?

Although they have already been psychologically prepared, many people still cannot accept the moment when things really happen.

Still the same sentence, I bought such expensive tickets, came to the Velodrome Stadium happily, sang my national anthem impassionedly, and you just showed me this?
Seeing his national team trying to shrink their heads like a tortoise and being suppressed on the scene, they can't hold their heads up at all?

The French fans who had been happily performing the Icelandic battle cry before the opening became unhappy, and a sad mood began to brew in the Velodrome Stadium.

Just when the French fans were sad, Zhao Jinge almost passed through the French team's rib defense zone through a sudden side pass from the German team on the field!

Fortunately, Deschamps chose the double midfielder combination of Kanter and Matuidi today. Kanter almost stuck himself to Royce, who was rushing forward with the ball, with his more dexterous steps.

But even so, the little rocket still found a chance to pass the ball, and he made a diagonal pass directly from the left to the penalty spot, almost banning the jaws of all French fans.

Fortunately, Koscielny's bold attack and Matuidi's reckless return tackle jointly stopped Zhao Jinge who was about to catch the ball, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The football was shoveled out of the bottom line by Matuidi. Although the German team was given a corner kick, the defense was successful.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Deschamps thought about it and decided to let Payet and Griezmann, the two players with the best ball control in the French team, retreat to a deeper position and the two defensive midfielders control the ball. Let's talk about the scene.

The area around the top of the middle circle is left to Pogba to handle alone. He would rather put the German team in his own half to play, and the rib defense area must be consolidated first.

This kind of position is too sensitive and dangerous. Zhao Jinge, Royce, and Muller are not slow.

Deschamps doesn't want to gamble on probabilistic events, especially when facing three strikers who are clearly out of form.

Facts have proved that Deschamps' adjustment is still very timely.

In the following five or six minutes, the German team has been using the French team's wing and rib defense area to make a fuss, trying to play behind the French team's defense three times.

The retreating Payet and Griezmann cooperated very well with the two retracted full-backs. They used two wonderful double-teams and a foul to stop the German team's offensive development.

But the German team's bold attempt today has indeed brought a great test to the French team's defensive system.

So much so that in the No. 18 minute of the first half, the French team played the first threatening counterattack of the game.

Giroud did not become the terminator this time. He used the fulcrum to ferry the ball to Pogba in the middle. Pogba and Griezmann, who was extremely fast in the counterattack, completed the offensive cooperation this time.

Griezmann's last pass was chased and destroyed by Khedira, and it failed to reach Pogba's feet behind the goal. Otherwise, Pogba's heavy artillery back door would still be very dreadful.

Although the threat of this counterattack was not played out, it also sounded a wake-up call to the German team, which is currently on the offensive. Don't look at the French team being beaten by them now, but as long as they are given a chance, France, which currently focuses on defensive counterattacks The team can still bite them!

Among other things, after today's opening, Pogba and Griezmann's state is obviously online. Whether it is counterattack or retreat defense, they are very active. It can be seen that both of them are full of excitement. desire to win!
Soon, the German team's offense made a comeback.

Teacher Tony passed the ball in a wide range from near the center circle to Royce who was ready to start on the left.

I saw the small rocket take off in an instant. Although Griezmann's return to defense was timely, he still couldn't keep up with Royce, who was fully fired.

It was not until he was followed by Sagna in the inside cut that Royce used a precise long pass and gave the ball to Muller on the other side of the court!

Erwa immediately took Khedira forward and rushed towards the left defense line of the French team composed of Evra and Payet.

If it weren't for Matuidi's timely card position, in the one-on-one duel forcing Muller to pass back and insert Kroos, the right defense line of the French team would definitely be more uncomfortable than the left at this moment!
But this time the German team's attack was not over yet. Mr. Tony, who had succeeded in responding, immediately passed the ball to Zhao Jinge, who retreated in the middle to respond.

Royce immediately moved to the side and raised his hand to ask for the ball. Muller, on the other hand, moved in a very clever position and acted as a support point.

Judging from the tactics of the German team in the past period of time, Zhao Jinge has not made many breakthroughs with the ball at present, and usually the wingers on both sides do this work.

Therefore, Kanter moved closer to Royce's position appropriately, preparing to guard against Royce's rapid breakthrough in the future.

But this time, Zhao Jinge was uncharacteristically. After everyone thought he should pass the ball, he stepped forward and waited for the opportunity, but he stopped passing the ball!
When he turned around with the ball and strode forward with the ball towards Matuidi, Kanter screamed in his heart that he was not good, and roared and began to return to defense decisively.

Zhao Jinge's teammate, in this season's Premier League, often staged long-distance raid performances, but left a deep impression on him.

The tactics on the court will change, the tactical responsibilities of the players will change, but the skills will not change in a short period of time!

It's because Zhao Jinge has teammates to help him share the tactical responsibilities, so he doesn't play rush and blast for the time being, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know how to do it himself.

Kanter, an old acquaintance, reacted quickly, but his speed was not as fast as Zhao Jinge's.

When he led his teammates to chase back desperately, Matuidi, who was the right midfielder today, had already been overtaken by Zhao Jinge!
This has nothing to do with the sense of position or defensive skills. It's simply that Matuidi couldn't keep up with Zhao Jinge's speed. He didn't even have time to make foul moves, so he was crushed over!
Koscielny was intercepting Thomas Müller who was going forward on the other side, Umtiti was alone on the French team's penalty area line, and Yutang's big brother Matuidi was also passed clean by Zhao Jinge!

Seeing this situation, the French goalkeeper Lloris had no choice but to throw out of the penalty area and try to intercept, but Zhao Jinge pushed the ball lightly to the area he vacated.

A figure with blond hair slanted into the penalty area from the wing, and directly chose to push Zhao Jinge's through ball!
"GOAL!!!!!!"

"Tony Kroos! Germany scored! Lloris didn't make a save! Goal! Goal!"

"Tony Kroos's classic non-stop ball directly putt the goal! This shot is crisp enough! Zhao Jinge's pass is just right!

It was Zhao Jinge who launched a counterattack relying on his personal ability, directly passing a midfielder and a central defender on the opposite side, creating this kind of opportunity that was not an opportunity!

We can see Deschamps' face flushed with anger!

It seems that the famous French coach is very dissatisfied with the team's defense, but how can he defend against such a breakthrough?This is really impossible to prevent! "

The commentator of the German team at the scene was already extremely excited at the moment. This is the semi-final of the European Cup!

The German team scored a goal in the first half, which is simply great news!

In fact, Deschamps' choice of defensive tactics after being blasted on the wing in the opening game is no problem, and the interception positions of the team's midfielders and central defenders are also no problem!

To be more serious, it can only be said that Kanter chose the wrong target at the beginning of this defense, and he gave Royce his attention!

But this is completely nitpicking, meaningless.

It can only be said that Zhao Jinge's promotion choice this time is too decisive, and his personal ability is too strong!

Seeing Zhao Jinge, who was hugging and celebrating with Toni Kroos on the court, the fans of the French team felt even more sad.

The fans of the German team were in a surprise carnival, and such a goal was like a surprise gift!
After all, the opponent is also the French team, a veteran giant, and the fans of the German team did not expect that their team would achieve such a surprising result in the first half!
You have no expectations for its arrival, so naturally you are not psychologically prepared, but it just comes, and it is still your favorite thing!
So how can they not be excited and happy?

The other neutral fans also became excited. For them, seeing a wonderful game and a wonderful goal is the biggest reward!

The balance of the game has been broken, and now the French team has no other way out except to step up their offensive. In other words, the French team is no longer qualified to play defensive counterattacks!
They must leave their comfort zone and start a real contest with the German team!
The two teams will enter a more intense competition rhythm!

For the French team, this is definitely more unacceptable bad news than the conceded goal just now!
In the case of strict defense, the opponent's top star has cracked his defensive formation, and now he has to press out to attack. Isn't this going out to seek death? !
"Let Payet go deeper! Pogba and Griezmann's advances are unavoidable. We need more offensive changes. Everyone else runs a little more and sweeps up the midfield! The counterattack must be more resolute! Believe in our striker!"

At this critical moment, Deschamps will not choose to complain, he is using the limited adjustment time as much as possible.

Although he seemed to be somewhat innocent at the beginning, he still chose to encourage his players.

However, he didn't say how to limit Zhao Jinge's performance.

In other words, Deschamps is a sensible person, and it is useless to talk about wasting words, so he simply made tactical adjustments in other areas.

The past matches between the German team and other powerful teams gave him a lot of reference.

Compared with trying to target Zhao Jinge in a laborious and thankless manner, it is better to spend more time on restricting Zhao Jinge's teammates.

For example, strengthen the sweep of the midfield, let alone completely cut off Zhao Jinge's connection with the midfield, try to interfere as much as possible, and buy more attack time for the French team's offensive line.

Pogba and Griezmann's offensive advance is inevitable. No matter who is the head coach of the French team, it is impossible to sacrifice the offensive ability of these two players.

Therefore, Deschamps can only make Payet, Matuidi, Kanter and others pay more energy in the defense of the midfield.

After all, in the reality that the ability is not as good as the opponent, how can you get a chance to score without running too much?

Now that things have come to this point, since they have fallen into a desperate situation, they can only fight desperately!
