Chapter 105 Frontcourt Libero, the first goal of the national team!
Schurrle briefly introduced Wolfsburg's current predicament. After a large-scale loss of personnel, especially the painful period after the core players left the team, it is still quite difficult.
In the conversation with Xu Erle, Zhao Jinge also expressed his apology to him because of the jersey.
In fact, Zhao Jinge expressed his apology to Xuerle by phone after Loew officially announced that he would hand over the No. 9 jersey to him.
In fact, Zhao Jinge doesn't care too much about the number of the jersey. After all, the number 9 of the German team knows everything.
For nearly 20 years, it's been a damning number.
Hearing Zhao Jinge apologize again, Xu Erle waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
As a new generation of German players, he grew up listening to the curse of No. 9, and he was very happy to be able to change his jersey this time.
Looking at the sincere Xu Erle, Zhao Jinge also felt relieved. He didn't want to offend an old teammate because of the jersey.
To be honest, in the European football circle, various beliefs and superstitions emerge in an endless stream, and everyone still cares about things like spells.
But for Zhao Jinge, he doesn't believe in such things as spells, after all, he is a man with a system!
In the end, Zhao Jinge got to know most of the players of the German team through the after-dinner party.
Perhaps because they have been beaten, these German players who know his strength are also quite kind to Zhao Jinge.
In the next few days, Loew also seized the time for the final run-in time, and practiced his re-enacted tactics through a 45-minute training match every day:
After a period of time without a striker, the German national team switched back to a striker formation with the center as the tactical fulcrum.
All the players of the German team also knew Loew's trust and value for Zhao Jinge through the change of tactics, coupled with Zhao Jinge's outstanding personal strength.
No matter what the other main players of the German national team think in their hearts, at least in the execution of tactics on the court, Zhao Jinge is placed at the core of the striker.
Zhao Jinge also used his impeccable performance in the training match to let them gradually understand:
Why does Loew favor himself so much!
Of course, some people are happy and some are worried. There are only so many major player positions. When Zhao Jinge firmly occupies one of them,
Mario Gotze, the former German genius, was shot to death on the beach by the back waves.
Watching Gotze's heartbroken expression when he found himself getting the yellow vest representing the substitute in the first training match.
Zhao Jinge also warned himself from the bottom of his heart, taking this as a warning.
After a genius falls, he is no longer a genius.
In football, a sport where strength is paramount, if you don't take precautions, then today's Gotze will not be tomorrow's himself.
In Loew's new tactics, although he put Zhao Jinge in the center position,
But in fact, Loew not only wants Zhao Jinge to become a scoring machine that can eat cakes or rely on personal strength to blast the opponent's defense,
I also want him to be the hub of the team's support, organization, and connection in the frontcourt.
In the end, it became a role similar to a free man in the frontcourt.
Compared with Zhao Jinge when he was in Manchester City, because of the existence of Aguero, in many of the team's offenses, Zhao Jinge was confined to the wing position and did not fully develop his offensive ability.
Zhao Jinge, who acts as a free agent in the frontcourt in the German national team, no longer sticks to the restrictions of position, and fully exerts his characteristics of taking everything from the side and the middle, and shooting with both feet without dead ends.
Develop his offensive ability to an extreme state, and give him the highest right to fire and autonomy.
Moreover, because Zhao Jinge obtained the template of Mateus, his own support and organization ability in the midfield has also been greatly improved.
Not only did he repeatedly send wonderful passes in Manchester City's recent games, but he also often played exquisite teamwork in the national team's training games.
The current two wings of the German national team, on the left is the "little rocket" Reus, who is at his peak, and on the right is a winger, who can play the "two baby" Muller.
The core of the midfield is the front midfielder Egou, and the two organizational midfielders are played by Toni Kroos and Gundogan respectively.
These five people are definitely a world-class configuration. They can not only do their jobs well, but also play an all-around role:
Royce and Muller on both sides can complete the work of frontcourt organization and series after adduction, Cross's putter and Gundogan's long shot.
The six frontcourt players of the German team have the ability to score and organize on average.
This allowed Zhao Jinge to give full play to his offensive imagination during the training match.
Zhao Jinge not only made up for the lack of final decision ability of the German team in front of him,
It also allows them to get more supplements to their already top-notch offensive organization capabilities, and integrate them into a tighter offensive network!
Loew also borrowed from Guardiola's current tactics used in Manchester City, combining high-position pressing and oppressive play with pass control. It is necessary to control the situation and play a fast-paced offense.
This has high requirements on the players' passing and receiving, ball control, running positions, physical fitness, and tactical execution.
Fortunately, this is a team that is in its golden age, and there are a lot of technical streams in the team, and players who have adapted to pass and control tactics for many years.
Otherwise, Loew's new tactics really won't work.
After a few days of intense running-in, the re-started German team took a bus to the home court of the Irish national team at noon on October 10:
Dublin Stadium.
As the only UEFA five-star stadium in Ireland, it can accommodate [-] fans to watch the game together.
Because this game is particularly important for both sides of the game.
So at noon before the game started, a large number of fans gathered in the square outside the Dublin Stadium.
The Irish fans, who have the advantage of home field, occupied most of them, and they dyed the whole square into a sea of green.
A small number of German fans are mixed in, like reefs in the green ocean, although there are not many, they reveal an indestructible temperament.
In addition, Irish fans also sent a gift full of "enthusiasm" to the arrival of the German national team:
From the moment the German team left the hotel where they were staying, they lined up to welcome them all the way and followed them all the way to the Dublin Stadium.
The green fuming cans closed the streets along the way in a miserable green, and the singing of various demonstrations continued to come from the streets and alleys, trying to disturb the mentality of the German players and bring them more pressure and irritability.
"These guys are too crazy. A city full of culture, now it's like a poisonous gas leak. It's too bad."
Mu Le, who was sitting not far from Zhao Jinge, looked at the chaotic scene outside the car window and couldn't help complaining:
"Do they think this can interfere with our state of mind? They also think that we are too fragile!"
"The current momentum is far worse than our Westphalian atmosphere."
Several international players from Dortmund echoed Muller's words.
People in the bus either took out their headphones to play some favorite music, or took out the earplugs necessary for away games, put them on and closed their eyes to rest their minds.
No one cared about the scene outside the car window, no matter how happy the scene was, there was always a showdown on the court!
At the press conference before the game in the afternoon, Loew announced the starting list of the German team in this game.
After seeing Zhao Jinge become the starting player of the German striker, the reporters present were not too surprised.
If other 17-year-old players replaced Gotze as the starting center of the German national team, they would definitely laugh at Loew for making a crazy decision.
But when this candidate made seven appearances in the Premier League, he scored [-] goals.When Zhao Jinge played twice in the Champions League and scored five goals, the reporters at the scene took it for granted.
Although there are still many provocative media, asking why Loew is so bold in the selection of personnel?
Is it too anxious to put the burden of scoring goals for the German chariot on a young man who has just entered the national team?
But it was all pretending to be confused, trying to get some more news from Loew's mouth.
Of course, if Zhao Jinge's performance in the national team is not satisfactory, the reporters will immediately trample him and Loew into the dust and criticize wantonly!
After stepping on the field for training, the game between the two sides officially kicked off at [-] o'clock that night.
"Welcome everyone to watch the European Cup qualifiers, a focus battle in the penultimate round of the Group D group stage:
Ireland vs. Germany!
Ireland, which is currently third in the group, and the German team, which is the first in the group, both have the possibility of fighting for the top two in the group and the possibility of directly qualifying.
For the German team, as long as this game is tied, even if they lose the last game, they will qualify directly as at least second in the group!
For Ireland, this match against Germany and the match against Poland in the next round cannot be missed. They must score as many points as possible in order to have the possibility of directly qualifying!
In the first contest between the two sides last year, Ireland drew with the German team away.
Although far inferior in reputation, Ireland's performance in this European Cup qualifier is definitely remarkable.
Even compared with the powerful German team, Ireland has the possibility of a tie or even a win!
Of course, there are world-class players in every position, the new world champion German national team, their strength needless to say.
If they don't win this game, it can only prove their performance, and they are completely sorry for their own strength!
Now that the players from both sides have played, let us enjoy this focus match that determines the qualifying places in Group D! "
The game will be broadcast live on German national television with Sky Sports Germany.
The guest commentators are Ballack we are familiar with and Lahm, the former captain who quit the German national team not long ago.
After Ballack introduced the pre-match situation of the game, Rahm immediately introduced the lineups of the two sides.
"The Irish national team played a conservative formation.
From the perspective of personnel composition, it is about a four-four-two formation, but their four midfielders, except for one midfielder, the remaining three are very deep.
One of the back midfielders is already in the penalty area, and the two midfielders are also on the back waistline.
Therefore, their formation can be seen as five-two-one-two in terms of positioning, with a full seven defensive players hoarded in front of the penalty area.
This is not good news for our frontcourt players.
In the previous European Cup qualifiers, when our central and frontcourt players faced the opponent's dense defense, there were often situations where they gained momentum and failed to score.
I hope this situation can be improved in this game.
After all, Zhao, who has given us high hopes, is about to attack the German team! "
"For the German team, it can be said that the main force is almost out. Today, Mr. Joachim chose a more stable four-two-three formation, but did not use a defensive midfielder.
It seems that they want to break the Irish team's defensive circle through more passing and cutting cooperation between the midfield and the wing! "
"The referee has blown his whistle, the game has officially started, and the German team has won the kick-off!"
After kick-off, Zhao Jinge, who was standing in the middle circle, directly entered the Irish half as the team's single arrow, followed by other midfielders of the German team.
The Irish team on the opposite side, after seeing the German team's kick-off pressure, immediately chose to shrink the defense.
Just like what Lahm said in the live broadcast room, it can be seen from the formation,
They only left two forwards Walters and Daryl Murphy in front to counterattack,
The rest of the players lined up two lines to defend.
In front of their defense line, the three midfielders, centered on the defensive midfielder McCarthy, stood in a shallow dish, guarding the front of their own big penalty area.
The German team took the initiative from the very beginning and fully implemented Loew's new tactics.
The combination of high-position pressing, oppression and pass control was adopted, and he pressed heavily, directly rushing into the hinterland of Ireland, wanting to directly control the initiative of the game.
Facing Ireland, which voluntarily gave up a large defensive area, the German team unceremoniously suppressed them within the 30-meter area!
Constantly use a variety of skilled passing and receiving to pull and restrain the attention of the Irish defense line, and then through the repeated impact of side and center players, cut the integrity of the Irish defense line.
Facing the tide of German offensives, the Irish relied on shrinking defenses to block the repeated temptations and attacks of German tanks.
But they also paid a huge price. In order to intercept the frequent breakthroughs of Zhao Jinge and Royce,
In less than 15 minutes of the opening of the first half, the Irish team received two yellow cards.
Other fouls abound, and the referee's continuous blowing of the whistle has almost become the main theme since the start of the game.
The performance of the Irish players on the field was very embarrassing. They felt that the German team in front of them was a little different from the last time they played against each other.
The pass is more direct, the breakthrough is sharper, and of course the threat is greater.
Just when they were struggling to defend, there was a sudden change on the field.
When Ireland's defensive midfielder McCarthy shot the ball forward, he was suddenly robbed by Zhao Jinge. Although he didn't break the ball at his feet, it interfered with the angle of McCarthy's shot.
McCarthy made a mistake in passing the ball and kicked it directly into a clearing ball. The Irish midfielder Hullah Khan retreated back and watched as Toni Kross stopped the football first.
And continue to rush forward with the ball, the German midfielder who was just about to retreat followed by recoil back!
Toni Kroos took the ball and leaned to the left, seemingly looking for teammates on the left to cooperate.
Just when everyone thought that the German team was going to launch an offensive along the left, Toni Kroos suddenly made a long diagonal pass and sent the ball accurately to the right of the frontcourt!
And just now Ireland's defense line leaned towards the side where Cross was advancing with the ball, thus exposing his left defense line.
Zhao Jinge's sprint on the right was hardly hindered. Kroos' long oblique pass was just in front of him, as if it was a familiar pass from De Bruyne.
He took the first step to stop the ball, and then quickly started to rush towards the Irish penalty area.
However, the reaction of the Irish defense was fast enough. The midfielder Brady returned to the defense in time and blocked the left side of the penalty area.
Full-back Ward also helped defend.
Zhao Jinge looked at the two men who came to defend, and had no intention of slowing down at all, and was about to enter Brady's defense zone.
Zhao Jinge gritted his teeth, and almost used his extreme speed to turn inward, rushing directly into the penalty area, forcing Brady to chase back desperately along the inner line.
But then Zhao Jinge made a sudden stop, and Brady didn't react. Under the action of inertia, his body slid forward and collided with the Irish central defender O'Shea who was about to step forward to intercept.
Zhao Jinge took the opportunity to return the ball directly to Muller who was not far behind him.
He started to accelerate again, and pushed forward to the front of the goal.
Muller immediately passed the ball back to Zhao Jinge,
Zhao Jinge fell to the ground and rushed to shoot. Before the Irish goalkeeper Shay Given and another central defender Keogh blocked, he tiptoed the football.
Under the inconceivable eyes of the goalkeeper Shay, the football passed through his wicket and got into the net!
