1030 Milo, we are waiting for your return!
As a well-known star in the Bundesliga, what Reus appreciates most is his scoring ability. Many people think that he is a player with similar characteristics to Thomas Mueller, and more of them exist as a scorer. As for crossing...
Thomas Mueller also knew that Reus' cross was a bit unreliable, so after he threw away Sildenfield, he did not rush to the end. Instead, he stuck his position with his body to prevent Sildenfield from interfering with him. On the other hand, he looked at the ball and deliberately slowed down a beat in the middle and adjusted his pace.
If he just speeds up and rushes to the end, the ball will be gone, but his slowness will make the ball just right when he comes to his header. He sees that he almost doesn't even have to jump. He pushes forward with his forehead when facing the ball.
You can feel the contact with the ball from your forehead. That feeling makes him very sure, because using your forehead to head the ball, it is easier to grasp the angle, so this time he deliberately pushed towards the reverse distant post, and deliberately pushed a touchdown rebound ball!
Reus' cross speed is not fast, and this kid's cross ability is seriously unreliable, so for accuracy, he cannot increase the speed of the ball, which gives the goalkeeper the opportunity to react and makes a save. However, the goalkeeper is more concerned about Thomas Muller's half-high ball or high ball, so he is all focused on his upper body, but he did not expect that the kid put a bottom rebound ball on his forehead, and the most fatal thing is the reverse!
This damn German guy...
The goalkeeper couldn't even finish the insult in his heart. He heard the referee's whistle sound!
"The goal is valid!!! In the 57th minute, the German team finally took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the court. A header from Thomas Muller broke the deadlock on the court for the German team!"
After seeing Thomas Mueller overhead, he had a premonition that the ball was almost certain to win, so he didn't even wait for the referee to blow the whistle and finished the ball. He turned around and rushed out of the penalty area. No one had time to stop him along the way. He watched him raise his arms, rushed out of the court, and rushed to the bottom of the sidelines.
The boy raised his head, stared at the stands, and put down his arms with his raised arms. His eyes were filled with sincerity, and he slowly pulled up the black jersey on his body. Everyone saw what was written in his jersey.
"Milo. We'll wait for you to come back!"
"Milo, we're waiting for you to come back!" When the camera approached Thomas Muller, the on-site commentator read the sentence written on his shirt. The white shirt and the red words were very conspicuous, and it was obviously Thomas Muller deliberately wrote to Klose in the stands.
"Milo is Klose, Thomas Muller is going to give this goal to the German striker. Klose, who is injured, is obviously his respect for this senior!"
Standing on the sidelines, Yang Cheng also noticed Thomas Mueller's actions. He was stunned for a moment, but soon applauded vigorously.
Thomas Muller and Kloser are both from Kaiserslautern, and later they joined Bayern Munich together. They both played for the national team. They can be said to have played football together for many years. And because of Kaiserslautern's relationship back then, they had a good relationship.
When Yang Cheng saw this scene, he was really moved.
I still remember when I was in Kaiserslautern, Thomas Muller was only a few years old and a little brat. At that time, Kaiserslautern had no big abilities, no money, no one, and the youth training camp often mingled with the first team. This kid just watched Fanny, Larson, Klose and others train and play football all day long.
Perhaps it was because of this influence that he became more and more outstanding in scoring efficiency, as well as his unball running ability, which was praised by countless people, who were known as the symbol of Yang Cheng's proud disciple.
Kaiserslautern is now a big club with a complete training base, a complete training ground and youth training camp. However, the first team and the youth team are separated, and we can no longer see such deep friendships and friendships as Klose, Thomas Muller and others. Now it is more about interests.
The live footage gave Klose in the stands. The latter smiled with a gratitude and gave Thomas Mueller a thumbs up to express his appreciation and affirmation of the striker's goal just now.
At least, without excellent adjustment ability and coordination awareness, Thomas Mueller would not be able to score!
"As a touching side, we see that more German internationals have come to the stands. Although they have not written slogans like Thomas Mueller, we can see that they are all waiting for Klose's return!"
"Yes, many people say that Klose is not irreplaceable, but in the minds of this group of German internationals, each of their teammates is unique and irreplaceable, so they are all waiting for Klose's return. I hope this veteran can continue to wear the German team's jersey!"
"Thomas Muller and Kloze are both from Kaiserslautern, both from the Bundesliga Red Devils led by Yang Cheng back then, and in this team there are also people like Schweinsteiger, Podolski and others who are also from that team, which is a great team!"
Thomas Muller clenched his fists at Klose to encourage him, hoping that the old partner would recover from injury as soon as possible, and then turned around and hugged and celebrated with his teammates. When he saw Yang Cheng not far away, he ran over and hugged his most respected head coach.
He was just a child back then, but he was invited by Yang Cheng to Kaiserslautern, which changed his life and created his glory today. So he will never forget everyone in Kaiserslautern, especially his leader!
"I remember that Yang Cheng once said something that touches people."
"What football is, varies from person to person. For him now, football is no longer a game of losing and losing. Instead, he has many friends, comrades, students, and opponents. For him, winning and losing may be second, and the greater significance is that he is enjoying all the things football has brought to him!"
"We may not understand Yang Cheng's mood at this moment, but we can guess. He must be very proud, because the child he brought out back then is now grown up and can stand alone!"
The live footage was always on Yang Cheng's body, and he seemed to have a lot of feelings. He hugged and slapped Paul Bayer and Barack beside him. They were all old ministers of the Kaiserslautern back then. They all experienced and witnessed that legendary period together, which would be the most unforgettable experience in their lives... The German team scored a goal. Croatia was in trouble!
Croatia's strategy against Germany has always been based on defense and strives to not concede the ball as its primary goal, because they know that conceding goals is very dangerous for teams like Germany. Only by ensuring that they do not concede the ball can they have the opportunity to score points from Germany and even win a victory.
However, when the German team scored a goal, they were completely panicked!
Offense or defense, this undoubtedly became a dilemma before them!
This is how a team with weaker strength is. When facing a strong team, you can always choose one of two between offense and defense.
This difficult choice caused some chaos in Croatia, especially when the German team suppressed Modric and left Mandzukic completely isolated in the front, and Yang Cheng directly let Schweinsteiger and Tony Klos push up boldly, taking advantage of this momentum to directly suppress the Croatian midfielder, Croatia was completely in chaos.
When the rhythm was slowly controlled by the German team, when the situation of the game gradually tilted towards the favorable side of the German team, when the German fans came from the stands, the German fans cheered more and more enthusiastically. When the German players from the opposite side launched nearly tide attacks, Croatia was completely confused!
One mistake after another. If it weren't for retreating across the board, their goal would have been pierced by the German team for a long time, but they didn't seem to have a good idea.
The defensive midfielder replaced Rakitic, who wanted to maintain the situation in the midfield and continue to stabilize the defense, but it was useless. When the German team's momentum came out, it was impossible for Croatia to easily stabilize its position, especially when the German team skillfully advanced the ball to the 32-meter area of Croatia, the offensive storm broke out completely.
Under the strong offensive pressure of the German team, Croatia has exposed one problem after another, and it depends on when the German team will seize the opportunity again.
Hummels steadily intercepted the long pass from Croatia, snatched before Mandzukic, and then drove the ball forward. The latter gasped heavily, trying to chase behind him, but was powerless.
Since Modric was frozen by the German team, and Rakitic was substituted, Croatia's ball path has encountered serious problems. The already weak middle path path was cut off by the tidal, which forced Croatia to push the ball to the frontcourt and hand it to Mandzukic's feet, and they could only pass long passes.
Mandzukic is indeed good, a fulcrum, but unfortunately, he is not a beast-level player like Drogba. With the joint freeze of Hummels and Badstuber, Mandzukic can get only a handful of opportunities to get the ball, and even fewer. Croatia's blind long passes again and again seemed to be transferring the ball to the German team.
Hummels dribbled the ball and pushed through the middle circle without much interference. He also noticed that Reus on the right was very active. The right winger was frequently pulling and running on the right to create opportunities and performing very well, so he saw Reus running out of an open position and immediately made a long pass over the top.
This long pass wanted to hit a curve and fell straight into the penalty area behind Croatia's defense line, but Korluca, who was deploying at the front of the penalty area, was focused and he was always paying attention to Reus. As soon as he saw the German winger rushing, he quickly retreated, stared at the falling trend of the incoming ball, and stuck his position in advance.
"Korluca steadily stopped Hummels' long pass, and the German team's offense failed!" The commentator on the scene said helplessly. The long pass of this kick was well, but it was not sudden. The opponent had already set his sights on it. If you still pass, it was obvious that it was giving the ball to others, so Hummels' long pass was completely unnecessary.
Reus also realized that he had a sprint in vain, but he was unwilling to accept it. After seeing the ball being intercepted by Korluca, he followed Yang Cheng's latest instructions and directly rushed towards Korluca, because he was closest to the latter and should have invested in counter-grabbing at the first time, rather than regretting that he failed to score just now.
Korluca stopped the ball, but as soon as he stopped, he saw Reus pushing up from his left side. But he was not nervous, and first leaned against Reus with his body. Then he saw Vukoevich come back to ask for the ball. He immediately kicked the ball forward.
But just when Vukojevic thought he could get the ball smoothly, Ozil retreated at the same time, poked the ball in advance, and poked it to the right side, and poked the pass to Vukojevic in advance.
Tony Klos inserted from behind, and after getting the ball, he observed it and found that the distance between Korluca and Sildenfield was a bit large. Vukoevich did not plug the loophole, so he immediately realized that this was an opportunity. He kicked his feet and drew a powerful shot against the ball.
Tony Close's straight shot was hard and the force was also strong. It was hard to imagine how he, a guy who didn't look strong, made such a powerful shot. However, after the ball was drawn out, he went straight along a straight line, about 23 meters away from the goal, and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.
The goalkeeper was at this point. As soon as he saw Tony Klos kicking his feet, he immediately chose to fall to the ground and want to hold the ball with his hands, but the ball came too strong, the ball was too fast, and it had a little rotation, so he couldn't hold it at all.
The ball seemed to hit the goalkeeper's hands together, but instead bounced out and landed at a distance of a little left of the penalty spot.
Since Korluka intercepted the German team's goal just now, all Croatian players thought they were going to launch a counterattack. Whether it was Serner on the left, Modric and others, they were all preparing to push forward. The overall formation was extending forward, but suddenly the ball was intercepted and another counterattack was made. Everyone was caught off guard and immediately chased back.
But it takes time to chase back. No matter how fast the player is or how good the reaction is, he is not as good as Tony? Klos's sudden long shot is faster, so when the ball bounces out of the goalkeeper, there are only two people left in the entire penalty area.
One is Thomas Mueller in black, and the other is Sildenfield.
The tragic thing is that the Croatian central defender was just thrown away by Thomas Muller with speed and flexibility. After losing the position, he watched the German header score, so since then, he has always stuck to Thomas Muller like a dog-skin plaster, which has never been able to get the chance.
But this time, after seeing Coleluca clearance, he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little. Tony Close suddenly kicked up and the goalkeeper suddenly took off. All this seemed to happen in the blink of an eye. When he realized the danger, he found that his back was facing the goal, and where is Thomas Mueller?
Damn German team had turned around at some point and faced the goal.
What the defensive players are most afraid of is when the opponent they are guarding is launching a head-on attack, so when Schildenfield realizes the danger, Thomas Mueller speeds up again, throwing him behind him, facing the ball that the goalkeeper took off, and pushes him head-on.
Because the ball popped up by the goalkeeper fell to the ground, in order to pursue stability, Thomas Mueller deliberately lowered the ball's castration and let the ball drill into the goal almost against the turf... The commentator on the scene made a long shout for a goal, and then the fans in the stands stood up from their seats in rows and cheered vigorously.
"Thomas Muller once again scored a goal for the German team, scoring twice. This is his second goal since this World Cup and his seventh goal in the World Cup. With a very beautiful shot, the Croatian suffered a painful blow again. The German team can even be said to have won the game ahead of schedule!"
After seeing Thomas Mueller scored, Yang Cheng also excitedly clenched his fists to celebrate, and then hugged his assistants one after another to celebrate with high fives. He knew that after the ball was entered, the game was won!
This goal seemed accidental, but it was not, because the German team significantly strengthened the long-range shot near the penalty area in the second half. During the break, Yang Cheng emphasized that the players should shoot more decisively and resolutely, threatening Croatia's goal. So when Tony Klos saw the opportunity, he did not hesitate too much and directly kicked.
Such shots were not uncommon in the second half. After playing for 23 minutes in the second half, the German team won a total of 7 shots, although only three of them were directed, they all created a large number of threats to Croatia.
"It can be seen that Yang Cheng's midfield adjustment was very well-placed and very wise. The German team obviously played more purposefully in the second half, especially their kicks. There were 4 long shots in total, and the players' kicks were very decisive, which directly led to the German team's second goal!"
"And Thomas Muller did not continue to stay on the wing like in the first half, but instead relied more on the middle, creating articles against Sildenfield's defects, and the effect was also very ideal. The German team's two goals were from Sildenfield as a breakthrough point... With less than half an hour left in the game, the German team undoubtedly won the victory in this game in advance, unless Croatia can strike a Jedi counterattack, but judging from the current situation, Croatia is completely passive. Not to mention that the counterattack is not very realistic, I am afraid that whether they can save the score of 0:2 is still an unknown number!"
Chapter completed!
