Chapter 450 Worrall's Smoke Bomb

Chapter 450 Worrall's Smoke Bomb

Especially when the Germans have already exposed their flaws!

In fact, sometimes I think about it the other way around, and some things are acceptable. For example, the German coach Völler really understands Kenny, which is not good news for Italy.But if you think about it the other way around, doesn't Kenny's success in the Bundesliga just prove his availability against the German team?Therefore, Zoff immediately made up his mind after two short days of thinking. He not only wanted to use Kenny, but even reused it!

And Kenny, who was notified by the coach, was also overjoyed. You must know that such an opportunity has long been waiting for him. He has always been relied on as the core of the attack in Leverkusen and Leeds United. More ball possessions, then the performance will definitely go up to another level.Under such circumstances, Kenny did not express his feelings, and after being excited, he also devoted [-]% of his energy to training.

Kenny is very clear that he still has a long time in the national team. If he really wants to be firmly established in the star-studded Italian formation, and even become the core of the offense, then he must not only have the current performance, but also stand up when necessary , Tell everyone the responsibilities that you can bear, and this time is a unique good opportunity.The formation that the Germans are good at in this World Cup is mostly based on the system of 3 central defenders. Not surprisingly, it will be the same in the semi-finals with the Italians. This is a huge good news for Kenny.

Among the three central defenders, apart from the Leverkusen captain Lamelo he is familiar with, and the Bayern central defender Thomas Link who has played against him before, only the supernova Metzelder is a player he is not familiar with.

Metzelder, who was born in Halten, Germany, has played for TuS Halten, Schalke 04 and Munsterpressen in Germany. Merle bought Dortmund for £2000. In his first season of joining, Metzzel was able to get a chance to play and became a blockbuster because of the team's main defenders such as Ruth and Nellinger missing due to injuries.

Metzelder, who is 1.93 meters tall, has an excellent header, and his ability to control the air is unmatched among the younger generation in Germany. In May 2001, he was selected for the national team for the first time. The outstanding performance in the 5 World Cup meant that he established a main position in the country, so the 2002-year-old Metzelder became another discovery of the Germans in the 21 World Cup after Miroslav Klose.

For this player Kenny said that he has never heard of it, it must be false. No matter in this life or in the past, Metzelder's name has been heard more or less in his ears, but Kenny has no idea how skilled this person is. I don't know.So Kenny can only obtain information from the coaching staff. Fortunately, the Italian coaching staff is still unambiguous. They have already done a detailed investigation of the Germans, even Metzel, who was not so conspicuous before the World Cup. Germany is no exception.

It is clearly written in the observation report of the Italian coaching staff that although Metzelder is young, he has gradually become the Optimus Prime of Dortmund's defense in the past season.He has a keen awareness of defensive positioning, decisive and fierce kicks, clean and accurate tackles, and excellent headers. In addition, he is tall and strong without losing speed and flexibility. Losing situation.

I have to say that although this report seems a little exaggerated, Metzelder is obviously not a silver-headed wax gun. What is more worth mentioning is that in the eyes of the German media, he is the same as "iron plaster" Jurgen Kohler, None of them belong to those who rely on talent to play football. They all rely on their own hard work and unremitting efforts to achieve success step by step. And like Kohler, they both became famous in the Bundesliga and started their brilliant green legend when they were less than 20 years old. He has a deep connection with Dortmund, so people in German football call him "Korer II"!

After seeing this piece of news, Kenny knew exactly what kind of player Koller was. When he first arrived in the Bundesliga, he caused him a lot of trouble. In the end, he resorted to superfluous tactics to try It took several times to get rid of it.And now the title of "Korer II" is enough to make Kenny feel Metzelder's difficulty.

After handing the report back to the assistant coach, Kenny couldn't help sighing, saying that the defense line was supported by Kahn alone. Looking carefully now, it seems that people are even more dazzled by the light of the Lions goalkeeper. Forget the three central defenders under his light!The strength of the old captain LaMelo Kenny is very clear, coupled with the current Metzelder, it seems that Thomas Link is the only one who is more active.

Perhaps to confirm Kenny's guess, Kahn also made a famous remark in an interview conducted after the German team's training that afternoon.People have always believed that the German team was able to make it all the way to the top 4 without being favored by others. Goalkeeper Kahn contributed a lot, but when he was interviewed by the national media, he said so.

"Football Emperor Beckenbauer said that the German team without Kahn is unthinkable, what do you think?"

Kahn: "I don't think it can be said that every player is important, but no one. I can only say that being selected for the national team is very important to me. Every athlete wants to represent the country. I think It's very important for athletes."

Reporter: "The German team's ability to enter the semi-finals is a very good result for the entire team. Everyone is very grateful to Kahn for his outstanding performance. What do you think?"

Kahn: "I am a part of the team, and I have worked hard, but it is everyone's efforts. It is the same for any team. Without the cooperation of the whole team, I am nothing. We must have a clear Goals, abide by the discipline of the team, be dedicated in training, and not make big mistakes. In fact, this is very simple to say, but it is difficult to do. Now we can't look left and right, we can only think about the front, now we only want to play, think What happens in the game, that's our responsibility, we can't care about anything else, and that's what we've been doing in the first few weeks of the World Cup."

When Kahn's words "Without my teammates, I am nothing" in an interview spread all over the world through TV, everyone was calling for Kahn's noble heart, and the German team was also in this situation. Under the circumstances, they are more united invisibly.But what is ironic is that when the German team is tightly hugged and united, almost all the big-name veterans of Germany are optimistic about the prospects of the German team. Only the German football emperor Franz Beckenbauer also stood up to oppose it. This time, the juniors didn't give him face anymore, and the German internationals protested.

Völler's old comrade-in-arms Rummenigge believes that the German team will undoubtedly enter the final, but he is not optimistic about Klose winning the top scorer, so the German team should not place high hopes on Klose.And Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness also showed enough confidence in Germany: "It is not easy to beat Italy, but we have the advantages both technically and psychologically."

"We will win the game, but the German team can't just rely on Kahn and luck. Ballack didn't show what he should have. This German team is a failure!" Beckenbauer pointed out that if it wasn't for Kahn's performance Brave, the German team has already packed up and left.This remark immediately attracted a lot of bricks and tiles from Worraer and Zieg, and even Netzel, who has always been "Wo", expressed his respect for Worraer: "It is not easy for the team to reach this level. They should have Relatively relaxed environment, which is very important for them to win the semi-finals."

Although His Majesty's remarks contain more iron than steel, shouldn't the players be encouraged before the big battle? Your old man's words made it extremely difficult for Kahn to be a man. Fortunately, the Lion King is not stupid and said this in advance .

The following days were spent in such an uproar. At the same time, the two sides also played smoke bomb tactics in the few public training sessions. It seems that for the sake of safety, in the two days of group training, Worra The back line of the main lineup has always used 4 backs.

In the training on the 24th, the four defenders of the German team were Frings, Link, Lamelo and Metzelder in turn, and the most tactical drills were that Frings or Metzelder went to the bottom to attract the defense. Players, knock back to Schneider or Bode who followed up, and these two people will make a pass. The area of ​​the pass is basically at the two corners of the penalty area, and it is mainly the outflanking of the rear point. There are relatively few forward points. It is a matter of course that this kind of pass is more conducive to the attacking side's strong impact.

The speed advantage of Bode and Schneider is quite obvious, and Ziggy's cross is of higher quality. During the training break, Worrall called Bode to his side to teach him the opportunity. In the eyes of the reporters, he hoped to use the winger. The speed advantage opened up the situation, and the speed of Kenny on the Italian winger is amazing. After suffering from the losses of the Americans, Worrall regards speed as very important. Therefore, in the contest between the 4 midfielders, Zieg is likely to become victim.

But the Italian coach Zoff is very experienced. He can tell at a glance that the four backs are not in a parallel position. Anxiously waved LaMelo back not to press too hard.Frings' position is between the full-back and the full-back. Obviously, if the scene is more passive, the formation may immediately change back to the familiar 4 of the German team.

As for the forward line, Völler still uses Neuville and Klose, so Zoff, who knew it well, waited for the start of the game.
