I was sold by Barcelona at the beginning, so I turned around and joined Real Madrid

The first time was a good time for the team to play.

"Welcome to watch the 2020 European Cup, the quarter-finals, Germany's home game against Croatia!"

"Today's game is a gathering of stars, full of highlights!"

"Then let's follow the camera and take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams."

"Let's look at the German team first!"

On time, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu appeared in the live broadcast room, introducing the two teams' not-so-simple starting lineups.

......

Germany, 3421:

Goalkeeper: Neuer.

Defenders: Rudiger, Hummels, Ginter.

Midfielders: Gosens, Goretzka, Kroos, Kimmich.

Attacking midfielder: Muller, Havertz.

Forward: Werner.

Substitutes: Gnabry, Sane, Emre Can, Musiala, Halstenberg, Ferland, Leno, Sule, Neuhaus, Gundogan, Trapp, Koch.

Zhan Jun said: "It is indeed a three-back formation! Loew is now even a little obsessed with the three-back formation. He has used such a lineup more than once in the national competition. Looking at this situation, the German team's position is more like a diamond!"

Zhang Lu added, "That's right, and the starters are all players who have performed well this season. In addition, the German team's bench is also full of talents!"

Isn't it full of talents! Players like Gnabry, Can, Sane, Gundogan, and Musiala are not in the starting lineup, which shows how fierce the competition in the German team is. It is precisely what they have in excess that Croatia lacks.

Croatia, 433:

Goalkeeper: Livakovic.

Defenders: Juranovic, Vida, Lovren, Gvardiol.

Midfielders: Kovacic, Brozovic, Modric.

Forwards: Perisic, Petkovic, Chen Qi.

Zhan Jun read some unusual meanings from this lineup, "Dalic made a big change, directly changed to 433, the most important thing is that Gvardiol and Modric both came to the right, is this to cooperate with Chen Qi, and make up their minds to attack from the right side?"

"It's possible!"

Zhang Lu gave his own opinion, "In fact, after Mandzukic's age and decline in ability, what Croatia really lacks is a forward and winger who can take on the responsibility... Rebic is a good choice, but he has conflicts with the coaching staff, so he still didn't start this game. Then, in the case of insufficient forward ability, Dalic can only rely on two wingers, among which Perisic's breakthrough passing and shooting ability has declined compared to his peak period, so he can only bet all his bets on On the right side, try to rely on Chen Qi to open up the situation!"

Zhan Jun nodded, "Zhang Zhi is still as sharp as ever, directly pointing out Croatia's current 'dilemma'."

"But there is a problem!"

"Dalic's deployment is so obvious, can Löw not see it?"

"If Löw piles up heavy troops on the wing to contain Chen Qi, then Croatia's attack?"

"Wouldn't it be directly useless?"

Zhang Lu smiled, "So, it's time to test the two coaches' battle. Whether Dalic's sharp knife tactics can be a great success, or Löw's diamond-shaped German tank can crush the opponent, it depends on their on-the-spot performance!"

......

Beep--

The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the first to control the ball and attack was the German team in white.

The defense was Croatia in blue plaid uniforms, and they were wearing away jerseys.

After getting the ball, the German team steadily advanced forward in a 3421 formation, like a tank, and had already pressed across the half court, maximizing the threat!

Start the game with strict defense!

This is the order Dalic gave to his disciples!

It is also what the Croatian players have to do.

Fortunately, their defense is very effective... The German team has a high ball possession rate, but it can't break through Croatia's defense.

Loew was a little anxious, waving his hand and commanding, "Pass the ball! Remember to pass more! Don't fight alone, understand? Go find Timo, give him the ball, let him end the attack..."

Dong——

The German players were still obedient and did not violate the opening tactics set by Loew.

Many times the pass was to find the blond Werner in the penalty area.

It's just that what Werner is good at... or his position in the team is a bit awkward.

He does not have good physical confrontation ability like traditional center forwards, nor does he have impressive heading ability like his predecessors Klose and Klinsmann... He plays more of a shadow striker role in the club, being a fulcrum and finishing, which is not his strong point!

Look at this time, in the 7th minute of the game, Mr. Tony's ability is still unique in the national team!

Just when Brozovic thought that Kroos would continue to divide the sides, dispatch the offense, and act as a metronome after getting the ball as usual.

He suddenly turned into a crescent moon scimitar!

The arc pass he gave penetrated the Croatian defense line, allowing Werner in the penalty area to successfully counter-offside and get the ball.

Go to the meeting alone!

The German striker who got the ball adjusted a little more and shot!

Bang——

Unexpectedly, it hit the defender and went out of the baseline.

No, Kroos's pass has left all four defenders behind. Where did the defensive players come from? Werner looked up. Black hair and yellow skin? A little unfamiliar!

When he turned around, the number on his back was 26, CHEN!

Hmm? No. 26? Isn't this guy a striker?

Dude! Are you crazy? Treating a striker as a defender? !

At this moment, it was Chen Qi who appeared in the penalty area and roared in a low voice to remind his teammates. He listened to Modric's description of Kroos' technical characteristics that night, not just listening with his ears, but also remembering it carefully.

When Mr. Tony got the ball, he started to rush into the penalty area. Sure enough, it was not a safe ball, but a threatening ball!

Fortunately, he was there to block Werner's shot!

Otherwise, a close-range shot!

Livakovic might not be able to stop it!

"Chen, great!"

"Too awesome!"

The teammates all breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to the side, praising the young player.

Chen Qi accepted the praise from his teammates, but his expression was not relaxed at all. He said anxiously: "Quick, the German team is going to organize a new round of attack. We must stop them and not let their attack succeed. Everyone keep an eye on them!"

That is a must. All the players on the field understand this principle.

Dong——

The German team took a corner kick. When the ball fell into the penalty area, something unexpected happened...
