Dear Gua
Chapter 199 That Simple?
Giant red and white jerseys occupied their respective halves of the field.
The European Cup theme song echoed through the sky.
Hundreds of dancers twisted their waists to the beat.
Perhaps because the dance was too boring,
the director's camera would occasionally move to the stands.
Especially long were the shots of the "German WAGs."
Unfortunately, Lina Gercke was missing, which disappointed many German fans watching TV.
Speaking of Lina Gercke, she was once Germany's hottest A-list actress, with a height of 179cm.
Outside the stadium, a mighty roar returned.
It wasn't an echo.
But the tens of thousands of fans who couldn't get in.
...
"We can see that mainstream media around the world have put up pictures of Li Kang and Kroos in their pre-match promotions."
"It's not just a contest between two strong European teams."
"It's also a dialogue between two midfield geniuses."
"The two of them each lead a star-studded lineup, and they will leave an epic chapter in the summer of France."
For afternoon matches, the coin toss is especially important.
Iniesta won.
He made a point of looking up at the sun and chose the shaded side for De Gea.
The players then stood in position in their respective halves.
Bip! Bip-bip~
With the referee's whistle,
the game officially began!
Germany had possession.
Götze passed the ball back to Kroos.
The latter calmly observed Spain's pressing formation in the middle and front of the field.
As the current invincible midfielder, he was not afraid of the opponent's press.
"Calm as water."
"Kroos's dominant foot is his right foot, and when he is active on the right half of the field, any pressure is difficult to affect his ball distribution."
"The Spanish team obviously knows this, David Silva's press is a bit soft, it looks more like a stroll."
"Hey, isn't Kroos going to pass the ball yet?"
Duan Xuan was a little puzzled.
He and He Wei had said four sentences, and several seconds had passed, but Kroos still hadn't passed the ball.
....
Both sides had spread out their formations.
As David Silva "slowly" approached Kroos, Koke had already provided defensive support.
Facing the double team,
Kroos placed his supporting foot between his opponent and the ball.
Without any extra movement, his calm gaze turned to the right!
Koke did not immediately make a move. In several Madrid derbies, he knew the German center-back's characteristics very well.
Knowing it was useless.
Pa!
With Kroos's dashing half-turn!
The ball left the ground, spinning violently, drawing an elegant curve as it leaped to the left!
The audience erupted.
"Beautiful like a painting."
"He's waiting for his teammates in the front to run into space!"
"The movements before the pass are very concise! The misleading and concealment are too high!"
"He's going to pass to Draxler!"
....
Forty meters out, on the left.
Draxler raised his leg slightly, and the ball obediently stuck to his feet.
This guy's ball control... is sometimes legendary, and sometimes at the level of the Chinese national team.
The camera zoomed out slightly,
and the audience in front of the TV noticed that the German team had now come out in full force, rushing like the wind in the Spanish half!
The German fans at the scene were overjoyed and cheered in unison.
"Very strong impact, very fast speed!"
"The Spanish team needs to be careful."
"Kroos has switched to the back of the formation, and Khedira has rotated to the position of winger!"
"Danger!"
....
Busquets' time seemed to stand still.
He wasn't paying attention to Draxler, who had the ball.
Instead, he was judging the direction of Germany's overall second attack.
His explosive speed wasn't fast enough, and if he forced a tackle out of position, the consequences would be serious.
His brain was running at full speed.
The Barcelona defensive midfielder had been trained as the number 4 position in La Masia since he was a child.
'The switch between Khedira and Kroos is a feint, the Real Madrid big-faced monster is just a passing point.'
'The real killing move must still come from the right, yes, that kid named Kimmich has moved up to the front line.'
'I need Li's cooperation... first like this... then like that... the two of us will definitely be able to stifle Germany's attack in front of the penalty area.'
'Next, simplify the complex.'
'Where's Li?'
'What are you doing?'
Time resumed.
Busquets stared blankly as he watched Li Kang run while making gestures to the defense.
Ramos understood and began to lose his position and rush to the left.
The Barcelona defensive midfielder was stunned.
He quickly retreated to fill the vacant area of the center back.
....
On the sidelines.
Minano trembled in fear: "Boss... the opponent's offensive is visibly swift and fierce! The overall formation is moving forward and rotating too quickly, like an army!"
Del Bosque smiled and said, "Löw wants to use the flanks as the main battlefield. But our waist... is very hard."
On the other side.
Löw tried hard to control his fingers, looking calmly at the green field.
...
Draxler is the dribbling king of the Bundesliga.
He once beat Real Madrid's wing.
Unfortunately, this time his defensive opponent wasn't Danilo... Danilo was beaten by third-rate players from Ecuador and Peru in the Copa América.
After dribbling the ball to the thirty-meter area,
he was considering speeding up or passing the ball.
Two figures appeared in his field of vision.
One went outside.
One went inside.
Juanfran.
Ramos.
Could he get past them?
Don't even mention the dribbling king of the Bundesliga, even Hazard would have a hard time!
Draxler did not hesitate and immediately passed the ball horizontally to Khedira, who was moving forward!
The overall offensive rhythm must not slow down!
As long as the ball was passed, the German team could tear apart Spain's backfield!
Pa.
The ball was intercepted during the pass.
"Beautiful!"
"Li Kang's interception was too crucial!"
"Calling teammates to put pressure on a small area, and then relying on his own judgment of the ball's path..."
Germany's swift offensive came to a sudden halt.
The ball drew an equally graceful arc in the air, landing precisely in front of Cazorla.
It was as if the roles had been reversed.
The German team immediately retreated.
All of Spain's midfielders and forwards began to rush forward!
Including San José.
Where to find the bridgehead for a strikerless formation? Draw a big center back from the defense!
....
'Is it that simple?'
'They just dismantled the opponent's attack like that?'
'They're Bayern... the German team!'
Busquets felt a cold wind blow by.
Immediately afterwards, De Gea's roar came from behind.
"Busquets, don't you fucking wander off!"
