When Xiao Ming was sizing up Loew, Loew was also sizing up Xiao Ming.
Loew's coaching resume at the club is not particularly outstanding, although he created Stuttgart's "Balakov, Bobic and Elber" frontcourt golden triangle in his first independent coaching, and won the title that year. He won the German Cup and reached the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup the following year. In the end, he only narrowly lost to Chelsea and finished second. However, he had no achievements after that. He played in Turkey's Fenerbahce and Adana, as well as His old club, Karlsruhe, was dismissed due to poor results. He led Austria's Tirol Innsbruck to win the Austrian League Championship and then left again because of the team's bankruptcy. After that, he stayed at home and did not become Germany until 2004. Assistant coach of the national team, and became the head coach of the German national team after Klinsmann resigned, but so far he has not performed well.
Loew has never dealt with Xiao Ming before, but like most Germans, he did not have a good impression of Xiao Ming because of Xiao Ming's nonsense about German football. What's more, his opponent in the final this time is Xiao Ming. The England national team led by Ming will naturally not show any friendly behavior after meeting.
So something exciting happened for the reporters, and the entire press conference was filled with tension.
The trigger came from a German reporter's attack on Xiao Ming: "Mr. Xiao Ming, in the five previous dialogues in the knockout stage of the World Series, England all lost to Germany. Do you think this will be the sixth time?"
Xiao Ming has never been a good person. Although he rarely does things like if you don't mess with me, I will go to mess with you. But unless he is holding something bad and wants to deal with the other party behind, otherwise someone messed with him. He has plenty of ways to make others unhappy.
"Knockout round? What we are playing now is the final." Xiao Ming pretended to rub his temples and looked like he was thinking hard: "It should be the final, right?" he asked a British reporter in the audience.
The British reporter suppressed his laughter and replied: "Yes, Xiao, we are playing in the finals."
"Oh, it's the final?" Xiao Ming suddenly said, "I don't remember clearly. When was the last time England and Germany met in the World Series final? Who won in the end?"
The British reporters in the audience burst into laughter and gave random answers: "We won the 1966 World Cup final! Four to two! The only hat trick in the World Cup final! Hurst!"
Keywords, 1966, England World Cup, hat trick, Hurst
Even a fool can hear it. Aren¡¯t you talking about history? Well, the only time in history when England and Germany met in the World Series final, England won
The faces of the German reporters present turned ugly. Loew said coldly: "What's there to say about a controversial goal?"
"Mr. Loew, the final score of that game was 4 to 2! England won by two goals! Even if the goal was controversial-not to mention it was only controversial-we still had three undisputed goals, and Germany only had Two." Xiao Ming turned to look at Loew and emphasized the number four to two
"Without the controversial third goal, the fourth goal may not have been scored!" Loew snorted.
"In 1990, in the final, I fell down outside the penalty area and got a penalty kick." Xiao Ming reminded him with a smile.
Now Loew was speechless. If England relied on a controversial penalty kick to defeat Germany and win the World Cup, then in the 1990 World Cup in Italy, Germany relied on Bremer's controversial penalty kick to win the match. Zero defeated Argentina. If the penalty kick is not scored, it is still unclear who will win
"In that case, who has more World Cup titles, Germany or England? Who has more European Cup titles?" A German reporter couldn't help it, stood up and said loudly to Xiao Ming.
"Are we talking about history in today's press conference? Then there is no need to compete in the finals, let's count Germany as the winner? There will be no need to compete in the World Cup in the future. Every World Cup will be Brazil's, okay?" Xiao Ming laughed. .
¡°Obviously you were the first to talk about history¡± The reporter choked up halfway through his words. Xiao Ming looked at him with a smile and reminded him that it was the German reporter who first brought up the subject of history
The reporter sat down angrily, and the host of the press conference came out to smooth things over: "Okay, everyone, this press conference is about the 2008 European Championship finals. Please don't leave this topic. Category, thank you.¡±
he thinksShooting and comprehensiveness are Ballack's strengths, and Bastian Schweinsteiger is the lubricant of the midfield. His running and passing are the guarantee to make the German midfield come alive. Although Podolski's position He is a midfielder, but he appears more in the forward position. His back-row insertion and cooperation with Klose make him often play much better in the national team than in the club. For a period of time, it was Podolski who played in the midfield. Bayern sits on the bench and scores goals as soon as he goes to the national team
The three of them and Klose accounted for most of Germany's offense. The two midfielders behind them, Frings and Hitzlsperger, basically focused on defense. Frings occasionally moved forward to attack, and his long shots Quite powerful and physically fit.
Germany has never lacked outstanding defenders, and this national team is no exception. The defense line of Friedrich, Mertesacker, Metzelder and Lahm, although Lahm, a short man, is holding him back. , however, the other three are extremely tall, especially the central defender line composed of Mertesacker and Metzelder, which can be called the tallest in this European Championship. However, in Xiao Ming's view, it happens that Germany's back line The defensive line is something that can be exploited.
If you are tall, you won't be too fast. In fact, Mertesacker is a slow central defender. Metzelder can turn around quickly, but his constant injuries have reduced his physical fitness a lot. Friedrich Hope is more focused on defense, but the only fast Lahm often has to go forward to assist. Coupled with the goalkeeper Lehmann who is not as good as two years ago, the current defense line of the German national team is not to mention the same. Compared with the time of Sammer and Kohler, even compared with the German national team's defense line in the 2002 World Cup, it seems to be a notch behind.
So from the beginning, Xiao Ming had no intention of using defensive counterattacks to deal with Germany - although their defense was not fast and counterattacks seemed more appropriate, Germany's offense was quite good and they did not lack players who could break through from the wing. There is no shortage of centers who can grab points in the middle, and there is no shortage of heavy gunners outside the penalty area. Against such an offensive lineup, it is really inappropriate to use recycling to counterattack.
And if the defense zone is expanded to the midfield for a head-on confrontation, England will not have the upper hand physically. German football has always been synonymous with strength. Rather than fighting for the strongest point with the opponent, it is better to seize the opponent's weakness and attack fiercely.
After the pre-game war of words, Xiao Ming was not afraid that the Germans would not attack - this was one of the reasons why he wanted to go all out to stimulate his opponent.
Let¡¯s have a vigorous battle! This is what Xiao Ming thinks.
