In the last two days, there were only football matches. First of all, in the third and fourth matches, Italy defeated Austria 2:1 and won the third place.

The championship battle, the game between the East China Government and the German team, also aroused great interest from German audiences. Originally, in the round-robin stage, the East China Government defeated the German team with a score of 5:2, which made many Germans disappointed their national teams. However, in the subsequent games, the German team's performance was also very eye-catching, beating Italy 3:1 and Austria 5:0, and finally entered the final with the second round-robin round. This result was no worse than the East China Government team, so it rekindled the hope of the Germans and restored some confidence in their national teams. At the same time, the German royal family, ministers, and envoys from various countries in Germany were also invited to attend the game.

Before the game, both coaches of both sides accepted interviews from reporters and said that the game would be very difficult. Menesler emphasized the defeat in the round-robin match, believing that the strength of the East China Government Football Team is above them, and I only hope that the German team can perform well in the game and make progress over the previous game, so I am satisfied. Qiu Yi believes that the round-robin match has become a thing of the past, and the German team did not play all their strength in that game. The last two games are the embodiment of the German team's strength. Although the East China Government Football Team is confident in its strength, it is not absolutely sure to defeat the German team. The victory or defeat of the game is inferior to the last game of both sides. In the end, Qiu Yi hopes to contribute a wonderful game to the audience.

Obviously, German head coach Menesler is still setting off smoke, deliberately showing weakness and confusing his opponent; while Qiu Yi's speech is not to be arrogant, and he has both confidence and respect for his opponent.

In this game, both sides arranged the strongest lineup. The East China government still had a 541 formation. First of all, based on defense, all five veterans were on the field, distributed on 3 lines, the back line still adopted the free central defender tactic, Lu Ling dragged in the end, and the other four defenders were in front of him; while the four midfielders were square positions, Qiu Yi and local player Fang Xianyang formed a double midfielder, Tang Qufei and local player Liu Shipei formed a double front midfielder; Huang Taisong still broke in front, serving as a single arrow, and these three people formed an iron triangle for attack, among which Huang Taisong scored four goals, Liu Shipei scored three goals, and Tang Qufei scored two goals, accounting for 70% of the team's goals. And according to the needs of the field, these three players can switch positions with each other. The two sides were left to the full-back Zhou Hao and Zhu Qi.

In fact, full-back assists are a conventional tactic of football in the old era. The football team of the East China government has also conducted special training and used them in the previous few games, but they were not used much. In this final, Qiu Yi planned to give the German a surprise victory, so he was ready to use the tactic of defenders assisting, and set up a double midfielder, one is to leave room for assists for full-backs; the other is to make up for defense after assists for full-backs.

The German team lined up 325 formation and strengthened the back line. It turned out that before the game, Menesler had colluded with four clubs, the coach of Berlin Victoria, because this game was the least easy game for the East China government football team to win. Then Menesler then formulated a response based on the games he had watched. Because the East China government football team has excellent skills, skillful cooperation, and many midfield players, it is often difficult to perform a midfield transition attack, and the simple long pass and hoisting tactics are more effective to give up the midfield.

In defense, offside tactics are not very effective for the football team of the East China government. Adding a defender can strengthen the strength of the defense line, and the two midfielders' positions are also moved back. The main responsibility is to assist the defense line. There are still five forwards on the forward line, including Hubner, the right inner striker of Berlin Victoria. He scored a total of three goals in the first three games, second only to Karlsruhe's center Henesky, who currently tied for the scorer list with Huang Taisong and also scored four goals.

The game officially began, with the German team kicking off first, center Henesky and right inner striker Hubner led the ball, and passed the ball to the right forward Wothler in the rear. The latter received the ball and adjusted it slightly, and drove the ball to the left side of the frontcourt. The left inner striker Yanke jumped up to fight for the header, but left winger Rachel stopped a little bit when the ball was stopped, and was quickly grabbed by Zhu Qi, the right sideback of the East China Government Football Team, and then passed it to Qiu Yi who was receiving it.

Qiu Yi dribbled the ball over the midfield and passed the ball to Tang Qufei who responded to the receiving ball. After receiving the ball, Tang Qufei dribbled the ball quickly and used his personal skills to shake the defender Shao Yiner. After breaking through outside the right line of the penalty area, he made a cross. Huang Taisong and Liu Shipei both grabbed the ball in front of the goal. Liu Shipei grabbed the header, but flew out slightly above the crossbar, completing the first attack of the East China Government Football Team.

German goalkeeper Ilgole kicked the ball, and a big foot kicked the ball to the frontcourt. Hubner grabbed the first point and topped the ball into the penalty area of ​​the East China Government Football Team. Center Henesky and Lu Ling competed for the top, but Lu Ling grabbed the ball to the front and pushed the ball out of the penalty area. However, outside the penalty area, left inner striker Yanke grabbed the header again and pushed the ball into the penalty area. At this time, goalkeeper Chen Hengshi attacked, jumped high, and took the ball off the heads of Hubner and Henesky.

In this way, the two sides were going back and forth, the German team played high, and the East China government football team relied on ground cooperation, had offense and defense, and it was difficult to distinguish and resolve for a while. Although the East China government had a long time to control the ball and had more opportunities, it did not fully control the situation on the field like in the previous games, and the German team still had a chance, and the scene was not one-sided.

However, as time went by, the two sides of the East China Government Football Team played very active, and the German team was extremely unacceptable because several defenders were only concerned about guarding several frontcourt players of the East China Government Football Team, so the two full-backs frequently stepped forward to assist and created murderous intent.

In the 20th minute, left back Zhou Hao assisted in the frontcourt and cooperated with Tang Qufei to successfully break through the bottom. He made a cross near the left corner of the penalty area. Huang Taisong grabbed the point in front of the goal, and the ball slightly missed the post of the left goal.

In the 23rd minute, Qiu Yi dribbled the ball in the midfield and rushed to the top of the opponent's penalty area. German left-back Schneider was taken out by Liu Shipei. Zhu Qi, the right-back of the East China Government Football Team, assisted to the frontcourt. Qiu Yi passed the ball diagonally to Zhu Qi, who was unguarded. Zhu Qi caught the ball and broke into the penalty area and passed the ball to the middle. Huang Taisong took the ball and shot with his foot, and finally scored successfully. He took the lead 1:0!

On the scorer list, Huang Taisong also surpassed the German team's Henesky with 5 goals, becoming the player with the most goals.

After conceding the ball, the German team also launched a counterattack. Left winger Rachel got the ball from the upper left corner of the penalty area and hung the ball into the penalty area. Center Henesky competed for the top to beat Lu Ling and pushed the ball to the middle. Gubner headed the ball, but the angle was too straight and was obtained by goalkeeper Chen Heng.

In the 33rd minute, the German team kicked the ball directly into the penalty area of ​​the East China Government Football Team. Henesky and Gubner both competed for the header in the penalty area. Hubner grabbed the ball and crossed the goal area in the middle. Unfortunately, the left inner striker Yanke was slower when he was crossing the middle and was grabbed by Lu Ling, and the big foot cleared the ball and kicked it out of the sideline.

But then the East China Government Football Team immediately returned with a color. Right back Zhu Qi ran for more than 60 meters and assisted to the frontcourt. She made a cross in the upper right corner of the penalty area. Liu Shipei followed up and shot the ball, but unfortunately the goalkeeper Ilgole jumped and saved it out of the baseline. The East China Government Football Team got a corner kick.

Qiu Yi took a tactical corner kick, left back Zhou Hao dribbled the ball and broke through along the sideline, dribbling over the German right back Mu Qin made a cross from the edge of the penalty area, and Tang Qufei, who was surrounded in the middle, scored a shot from the back, but missed the right post.

Immediately after Qiu Yi intercepted the ball in the midfield and dribbled two steps forward, he passed the ball in the middle. The left back Zhou Hao received the ball from the side and broke into the penalty area, shot at an oblique angle, goalkeeper Ilgole flew to make up for it, but he failed to touch the ball, but unfortunately he passed the post and left again.

The first half ended, and the East China Government Football Team led 1:0 to end the half.

Overall, the situation in the first half was 46, and the East China government football team had a certain advantage, but the German team still had a chance.

After the second half, just 5 minutes later, Qiu Yi intercepted the ball again in the midfield and gave it to Zhu Qi on the right. Zhu Qi quickly passed the ball to Tang Qufei who was inserted. Tang Qufei dribbled into the penalty area and passed the ball to Huang Taisong on the right. Huang Taisong received the ball and then passed it across the goal. Liu Shipei inserted the ball into the middle and pushed the ball into the position, scoring again, and the East China Government Football Team took a 2:0 lead!

Shortly after the opening, the German team lost another goal, and the audience on the 7th were a little desperate. It seemed that the game was definitely lost. In the VIP stands, Emperor William II's face was not very good, but the German team was not discouraged. After only 3 minutes, they hurled the ball into the penalty area again. When defender Wang Qi jumped up to compete for the top, he accidentally touched the ball and was awarded a penalty. Hubner took the penalty and scored the ball, and finally got a goal back.

After scoring the goal, the morale of the German team was greatly boosted, and the audience also ignited hope again, and cheered for the home team desperately, and William II finally showed a smile on his face.

In fact, during the halftime break, the German head coach Menesler made adjustments to the two active wings of the East China government football team in the first half, and simply closed the defense line and retreated to the back of the penalty area line to defend. The two midfielders retreated to the defense line at the top of the penalty area, completely abandoned the midfield, concentrated five people on the defense line, and divided them into two levels of defense lines.
