Godfather Of Champions

One goal behind Germany in the first half made many English players very upset. They vented their dissatisfaction in the locker room.

"Their jerseys are so dazzling in the sun, it's despicable!"

"Yes, I can't concentrate at all!"

"Don't talk about paying attention, I can't even see their movements. Why doesn't UEFA prevent such behavior?"

A group of people blamed the German team's snow-white jerseys and the brilliant sunshine as the reason for their backwardness.

When Dunn followed Rooney in, the voice still did not disappear. Until Dun En closed the door of the locker room heavily, everyone realized that their head was here, not the time to make noise.

"What did I say before the game?"

After looking around the locker room, Dunn asked sternly.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering why the boss was so dissatisfied? Although we are one goal behind, the team's morale is still very strong. Recovering a goal in the second half shouldn't be a problem.

"I said you should keep your heads calm, but I didn't see it in the first half." Dunn spread his hands and shook his head. "I know we have a grudge against Germany, and the game against the German team will increase your adrenaline. But if you let that thing dominate your brain, then we will lose this game..." Dunn suddenly raised his volume. "I'm not alarmist! I'm not agitating you either! I'm telling you seriously--"

He raised his arm and waved vigorously with his words: "If you can't focus on how to win the game, but how to find the Germans for revenge, we will lose! Then we will make the possibility of qualifying Send it to Portugal and Wales!"

"Have you never experienced such a game in your career? On a sunny afternoon, opponents are dressed in white or light-colored jerseys, reflecting the sunlight and a little dazzling... Don't the Premier League kick off in the afternoon? Is it like that? Did you all lose the game?"

As Dunn asked loudly, the English players slowly lowered their heads.

"So why did your performance in today's game be so bad? Because your opponent is the German team! You only think,'The Germans are so cunning!' The Germans are so despicable!'Have any of you thought about'I want to win the game'" You put all your energy into these minutiae, but didn't think about the current game! Now I say:'Take this game as an ordinary game' can you listen to it?"

Dunn saw George Wood sitting in front of his cabinet. He didn't seem to be listening, because his eyes were fixed on the locker room door, and his heart seemed to fly onto the court.

"Now take my mind back to the game itself. I don't want to tell you what the consequences will be if we can't get out of the line. I just want to tell you that we have an agreement with George. He is waiting for us in the knockouts. We go to the knockouts to see him."

Everyone turned their eyes to Wood. Wood really didn't listen to what Dunn said, he didn't respond to these words, just continued to stare at the locker room door in a daze.

"Are you men?" Dunn asked, "Men must keep their promises! We must do what we promised! We promised George that we must qualify for him from the group! If we can't, we are all women!"

"Forget the hatred of England and Germany, remember that this is a game, a game that concerns who can directly qualify! Now, let's make tactical adjustments."

Dunn drew up on the tactical board: "Tony Kloss is their midfielder, but the attacking core of the German team does implement Weinsteiger. Pay attention to his position. Where he goes means the German team. Where is the focus of his offense?"

This is the conclusion obtained by Dunn's observation in the first half. Tony Kross is only responsible for the ball. "Little Pig" Schweinsteiger is the most threatening person. His position is also very unstable, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, and sometimes he will Switched positions with Tony Kross as the midfielder. Although Kross has gained fame in the Bundesliga in recent years, whether in Bayern Munich or in the German national team, the core has never been him. He is just a cover to cover Schweinsteiger. If too much defensive attention is placed on that genius boy, the big fish will be missed, which will eventually lead to terrible consequences.

"So our defensive focus must be on Schweinsteiger. Limiting him also limits the German offense. Only when the defense is stable can we be able to attack with confidence, and be more careful when defending with set-pieces. "

Hearing this, Walcott lowered his head. Obviously the goal conceded has something to do with him.

Dunn glanced at Walcott: "Special Olympics. I don’t know what happened to you. The performances before and after the first half were totally different. But I don’t want to go into it, as long as you know it, I will give you the second half. Fifteen minutes, if you are still like this, I will replace you without hesitation. You are not a newcomer, and you don’t need my care. You know what you should do."

Walcott nodded vigorously.

"Now let’s talk about offense. In the first half we did not have a lot of counterattacks, but our players lacked the ability to seize opportunities... Is this true? No, your mentality is wrong. I bet, When facing an empty goal, you all want to get the football in. Usually you are not like this." Dunn looked at Rooney and Mitchell and said.

In the first half, these two people were indeed a bit over-excited, they seemed to be over-strength when every opportunity appeared under their feet.

"Well, take it easy, I won't eat you." Looking at the frustrated players who were scolded by him, Dunn laughed again. Don't hit them too much... Adjusting the players' psychology is really a technical job.

"The Germans will not eat you. Just put your mind at ease and you will find that defeating the German team is an easy task. They are not such powerful opponents at all! I have the confidence to defeat all the strong teams in the world. , You have to have it too. This kind of confidence helps you stay calm when facing a strong team." Dunn pointed to his head, "This is very important."

"When attacking, we must pay attention to the success rate. We are behind. In the second half, our chances of counterattack will not increase, but will decrease. Summer is a very cautious head coach. As long as we can win such a game, one goal is enough. Enough, so he will definitely shrink the defense. I ask you to seize every opportunity to attack. I don't want to see the blind long shots like Welsh happen frequently-the number of shots does not bring goals."

On the other side, in the locker room of the German team. After praising the team's performance in the first half, Summer also made adjustments: "At the beginning of the second half, attack, and then slowly shrink the defense. Remember, all I want is a victory, whether it is 1:0. , Or 2:0, it makes no difference."

The players nodded. German players are known for being disciplined, and the words of the head coach are imperial. They will not violate the manager's schedule just because they want to play a good game.

Oddset, Germany's largest betting company, once filmed a TV commercial that used ridicule and exaggeration to illustrate the characteristics of different leagues. For example, after the players of the Italian League were injured, the staff with the hair dryers came up with the team doctors to play with the hairs of the injured players; in the Qatar League, a European star player appeared on the side of the court with a bonus Lincoln and came out. He kicked a corner kick, then put on his sunglasses and got into the car, leaving amidst the cheers of the fans. As for the German local league, they behaved like this-players from both sides lined up in a neat 442 formation, under the command of the coach holding a loudspeaker, stepping forward or backward in neat steps.

It is obviously reasonable for the local German bookmakers to describe their league in this way. The discipline of the Germans is not only reflected in football, but also played an important role in other work and even in the war.

Now Summerer tells his players that he needs to defend and that he needs a safe way to win, then the German players will follow suit. "They are like robots with no emotions." Someone must complain about German football, rigid and stubborn machinery and lack of beauty, but it is this style that makes them the most feared team on the European continent. It can always inspire great potential in desperate situations and complete impossible miracles.

Just as the famous British sports commentator Kennett Walstenholm exclaimed: "They thought everything was over, but the Germans stood up again!" (Some_people_are_on_the_pitch......they_thinkits_all_over......it_is_now!)

※※※

When the intermission time came to the last minute, Dunn ended his tactical adjustment arrangements. The players stood up and walked out of the locker room one after another, towards the court.

George Wood was consciously dragged to the end, he wanted to talk to Dunn alone.

Dunn also noticed Wood's strangeness. He stayed and planned to see what happened to Wood.

"Are you looking for me, George?" When the players and coaches walked out, Dunn turned and looked at Wood who was still in the dressing room, he asked.

"Let me play in the second half." Wood said straight to the point.

"It's impossible, George." Dunn also rejected him simply.

"The situation is unfavorable now."

"But it's not so bad that you need to be injured in the battle. Otherwise, your teammates-those teammates who have been on the court for forty-five minutes, and those who are healthy on the bench-what would they think?" Dunn pointed to the door of the dressing room, outside was the corridor leading to the hall.

"Don't you believe them, George?" Dunn asked, staring into Wood's eyes.

"No..." Wood shook his head slowly, "I just... I just don't want to be a spectator anymore..." He muttered with his head down.

Dunn smiled and reached out to touch Wood's head. "You won't be a spectator. We will definitely go to the knockouts. See you then, George."

He went out first.

※※※

When the German team players reappeared on the court, Dunn did not see the slightest complacency on their faces. Instead, they had a stern face and a solemn expression as if they were one goal behind.

This is the opponent that Dun En hates most, because they are not arrogant and underestimate the enemy, and will not easily be irritated by themselves. They faithfully implement tactical discipline, as long as the head coach makes no mistakes. Even in the face of very unfavorable adversity, they will not give up easily, and will want to tie the score at the end of the game.

Tenacious like a rock. Confronting such an opponent, the game will be very difficult. There will be no moments of relaxation, the nerves must be tense for ninety minutes.

What makes him feel a little relieved is that the England players are back to normal.

The other good news is that when the second half started, the lights on the roof of the stadium had been turned on, and the bright sun and dazzling white jerseys were gone. Now there is no off-court interference, and the England players no longer have to squint their eyes and deal with the Germans restlessly.

It is six o'clock in the afternoon, and it is already evening. A cloud of mist flew from the sky, dimming the brilliance of the setting sun, and the New Mestalla Stadium was shrouded in a faint golden glow. If you don't turn on the lights, you can see nothing.

The temperature also dropped, and a cool breeze blew into the New Mestalla stadium, and the stadium gradually cooled down after 45 minutes of frenzy.

But this is just an illusion. When the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the second half, a huge noise erupted from the quiet stand.

The English fans' singing sounded again, and the German fans were not to be outdone. The stands became a place for fans of both sides to sing songs. That is, only with the presence of English fans can the stadium have such an atmosphere. Whether it is a Spanish fan or an Italian fan, or a French or Dutch fan, they rarely sing for ninety minutes like an Englishman while watching football.

The German team felt the changes in the England team. Less than three minutes into the second half, England made a pass through the wing, creating a murderous opportunity.

Mitchell's header flew off the goal post under the interference of Mertesacker, shocking the German fans into a cold sweat.

This time the attack was not made by a counterattack, but an opportunity created by England's patient inverted foot transfer in the battle of position.

"That kid is very weak and can't stand the collision. Next time you can defend it a little bit more!" Mertesacker said to Westman next to him, telling him the secret of defending Mitchell.

Westerman nodded, indicating that he knew.

※※※

Ten minutes later, England and Germany are entangled in the midfield. It seems that no one can find a cheap. The England midfielder's defense against Schweinsteiger is fairly successful. No matter where the "Pig" is changed, he will find himself following an English player like a shadow. This English player may be Michael Johnson or it may be. Chris Cohen, maybe Walcott, or two full-backs. England does not use man-to-man defense. To deal with players with a wide range of activities, man-to-man will disrupt their defense.

After Schweinsteiger lost free space, his contribution to the German team's offense plummeted. England also has more opportunities to attack. However, the Germans' defense is very stable. Even when the German team is attacking, their defense is still firmly behind the rear. The head coach Summerer pays attention to defense as he did when he was a professional player. As a result, England lost the opportunity to counterattack, and can only honestly fight the German team. The Germans shrank their defenses and stuck to the middle. Several giants in the penalty area over 185 meters tall made the originally large penalty area crowded. Wanting to pass the ball to the forwards is simply wishful thinking. If you force a long shot, the biggest possibility is to waste an attacking opportunity that you finally get.

Mitchell stood in the penalty area and kept raising his hands for the ball, just like a center who hit the opponent's basket. But his teammates cannot guarantee that the football will be delivered to his head accurately every time.

Cohen's cross was excellent, but in the second half of the first half, England used his side as the main attack direction, and the German team was defensive in the end. Walcott is fast and good at breaking through, but he lacks fire in the cross.

At this time, Dunn missed the injured Bentley very much. His speed and dribbling are not as good as Walcott, but his cross is comparable to Beckham. With him on the right, Mitchell's role can be played to its limit.

Pity……

Although there is another Adriano Mok, his characteristic is neither speed breakthrough nor cross, but dribbling...

Walcott obviously knew the problems he was facing. No matter how fast he is, the defense against the German team's shrinking line is useless-without sprint space, his technical characteristics cannot be used. Mork is the kind of person who can get rid of the defense on the spot, he is not.

The boss only gave him fifteen minutes, and now he is still three minutes away from that deadline. He didn't doubt that if his performance still didn't improve, he would be replaced mercilessly by the boss.

Walcott is unwilling to be replaced in such an important game, which is tantamount to being labeled a "failed performance" label.

After receiving the football again, the German defensive players habitually prepared to guard against Walcott's breakthrough, and the left back Jensen retreated to compress the space behind him. Although he left the empty space in front to Walcott, he didn't worry too much. Walcott's crosses were of very low quality, and the four legs passed before were not accurately delivered to Mitchell's head.

Walcott originally intended to break through the bottom and then walk into the penalty area, so as to create confusion, and then take the opportunity to pass the ball, pass a low ball, to see who can touch the goal. But after seeing Jensen's reaction, he temporarily changed his mind and chose to pass directly!

The football drew an arc and flew towards the penalty area.

This time the quality of the cross was quite good, and the football went straight to where Mitchell was.

"Squeeze him away!" Mertesacker was defending Rooney, and he shouted to Westerman.

Mitchell stared at the football running, and just as he was about to jump up and head the goal, he felt a force from below, which completely lost the center of gravity he hit.

Some exaggerated stretched his arms in the air, yelled, Mitchell fell into the penalty area!

No one encountered Walcott's cross and flew directly out of the bottom line.

Looks like another bad cross and failed offense?

Do not!

The referee's whistle sounded. He ran to the penalty area, pointing to the penalty spot!

"This is a penalty!" John Mortensen cheered, raising his arms.

Mitchell, who was lying on the ground, also raised his arms and punched the sky. And Starman who fell next to him stared at the running referee with an incredible expression-how could this be a penalty? I used a little bit of force, but it was a reasonable collision!

Regardless of Westerman’s doubts, the referee stood on the penalty spot and unswervingly awarded England a penalty! Looking at his serious expression, he believed that Westman's defense must be a foul.

Walcott, who was in charge of the cross, raised his hands on the sideline and cheered for his cross.

Dunn even rushed to the sidelines, waving his fists again and again excitedly.

"Fucking beautiful!"

Summerer was very dissatisfied and yelled at the referee: "That's an obvious flop!" He rushed into the court and made a flop gesture, "Can't you see it? Can't you see it!"

It wasn't until the fourth official intervened that he turned and walked back with a clouded face. Leaning on the shed on the coach's bench, he kept shaking his head while watching the stadium. This is a sudden accident. As the head coach, he is useless no matter how superb his level is.

After cheering, Dunn squatted on the sidelines, supporting the ground with one hand and covering his mouth with the other, expecting and a little nervous waiting for the result of the penalty kick.

The German players on the field sought the referee to appeal and the referee did not change his penalty. The German fans booed and cursed from the stands, and the English fan thieves suppressed their cursing with singing.

When everything could not be changed, calm was restored in the stands.

The German players unwillingly withdrew from the penalty area and gave the goal to the Englishman.

Goalkeeper Adler constantly opened his arms and moved laterally in front of the goal, creating psychological pressure on the English players who took free throws.

The person who came to play was Gerrard. He was not disturbed by Adler after the battle, and the boos from the German fans in the stands did not waver him.

Facing the stand where the German fans gathered in front and the dense **** in the stand, Gerrard rushed the penalty kick into the goal after the whistle!

Adler judged in the right direction, but was no match for Gerrard's strong volley, and he flew past after the football hit the net.

"Nice goal! Gerrard resisted the pressure and made a penalty! England evened the score! We now see hope again!" Mortensen shouted.

After the goal, Gerrard ran all the way back to the team's bench, then pointed to George Wood and gave him a strong hug.

"This goal is dedicated to you, George! We will definitely go to the knockouts!" He growled in Wood's ear.

When the cheering crowd dissipated, Dunn walked to Wood and smiled at him and said: "Sit back and watch the game, George. It doesn't look like you need to be on the court."
