Chapter 46 German-Portuguese War

After the battle between the Netherlands and Denmark, there was another match between Group B, Portugal and Germany. This match was also a match between the two top scorers, Kimuro and Gomez. In the end, Kimbero lost to Gomez. The Portuguese striker failed to do anything in the game, while Gomez Si scored with a strong header to help the team win an important victory.

Some media commented after the game that Kimuro's performance in this game is not satisfactory at all, far less than the level he showed at Real Madrid last season. When the team needed him most, Kimuro disappeared. In fact, whenever he wears the Portuguese national team's jersey, Kimuro's performance always carries a deep gray.

At the beginning of this game, Portugal made it clear its idea to play around the number one star Golden Retriever. After the Real Madrid star received football for the first time in this game, he played a dazzling cycling skill in the face of Boateng, who defended him. However, the football he passed out, but Postiga grabbed the front point. After that, the ball was also damaged by Ram.

After that, it was not until such a long time before the start of the second half that Kim Mauro evaporated from the world. It was not until the sixty-fourth minute of the second half that Kim Mauro got a better chance. Mutinio made a diagonal pass, and Kim Mauro broke into the left side of the penalty area and was ready to shoot, but was shoveled out by Boaten first. Bottom line.

With the German team breaking the deadlock and the team falling behind, Kim Mauro also had several opportunities to threaten the German team's goal, but in the end he failed to help Portugal equalize the score. Kimuro's 2012 European Cup started with a loss and zero goals.

This has to be said to be a very strange phenomenon. In the club, Kimuro played well and won the Golden Globe Award at Manchester United. In Real Madrid's three seasons, he scored 146 goals in 144 games, averaging 1.02 goals per game.

However, in Portugal, Kimuro's goal efficiency has decreased significantly, including this game, he only scored 32 goals in 91 games, averaging 0.35 goals per game, almost only 1/3 of Real Madrid's scoring efficiency.

Spanish media have said that Kimuro's goal efficiency in the national team is much lower than that of the club, and it seems difficult to find a reasonable explanation, even if the strength of the Portuguese national team is indeed much worse than that of Real Madrid.

In history, in general, great stars have performed equally well in both the national team and the club, such as Bailey, Eusebius, Charlton, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Van Basten, Maradona and Baggio. Up to this day, the best example is Degan, who is in Fro. When he was in Lensa, he helped the team rule Europe, and then helped the team rule the world in the national team.

Di Stefano is an exception, but that is also because he suffered an injury when he was preparing to represent Spain in the 1962 World Cup.

However, in recent years, in the world football, in addition to Degan's three talented players Kaka, Kimuro and Messi are far worse in the national team. However, when Kaka is at least shining in the national team, Messi is also beginning to find a feeling in Argentina, and Jinmauro seems to still be a little lost.

So what's the problem with Kimuro in the national team?

Obviously, it is his mentality. The biggest problem in Portugal now is that there is a lack of a leader in the creative area. The team does not have the great passers of the past, such as Rui Costa.

Kimmauro needs such a passing expert to avoid becoming selfish again. If there is such a passer, Kimmauro does not have to look for football, pass the ball, and then score goals alone.

Although Jin Maoluo is excellent, he also needs to get great support behind his back, so that he can play an important role and complete wonderful movements. He can't always run all over the field and do everything by himself.

When playing in the national team, Kim Mauro can't think that he can be above other players. His role in Real Madrid is very important. He plays freely in the front court, and the whole team supports him behind his back.

In the national team, Kim Reros obviously hopes that the whole team will do their best for him, but that's not the case. Portugal as a whole cannot provide Real Madrid's overall support. Therefore, when he comes to the national team, he can't have the idea that I must be the best. He must be the best for the team and not be the best for himself.

But in fact, Kim Mauro came to the Portuguese national team with the idea that "I must be the best". He wanted everyone to serve him, but obviously, he was a little delusional.

So, the final result is just like the result of this game!

Look up to the sky and sigh, look up to the sky and sigh, look up to the sky and sigh!

This is the Golden Mave at the 2012 European Cup!

All four shots were within the frame of the German team, but failed to penetrate Neuer's ten fingers. Coupled with the lack of strength of his teammates around him, the Portuguese captain only got depression and disappointment in a defeat!

The most efficient striker in the history of Real Madrid, who has unlimited scenery in the club, habitually turned off the engine and lost the first game when he came to the national team, which not only cast a shadow over Portugal's team's appearance, but also made the Golden Globe Award that Golden Retriever had been looking forward to for a long time.

Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

Golden Mauro, the stars of Real Madrid, looked very tired when he returned to the national team. He not only had to create opportunities, but also had to complete the last blow by himself. In the choice of organization and end, he once again lost himself.

Postega's scoring ability on the front line is average, more than disturbing the opponent's defense line and creating opportunities for his companions. Cohentran played very hard and actively, but he was exhausted under the repeated attacks of Ozil and Mueller. The real support given to Kim Mauro is very limited. At this time, Kim Mauro must be thinking: If and How nice it would be for Real Madrid to play in the European Cup!

Because of the lack of a midfielder who can send the last pass, the main route map of Portugal's attack is depicted by the sideline. Ferreira and Coentran as full-backs, and Nani and Kimuro as wingers make the Portuguese national team's tactics tend to be from the outside to the inside, putting speed and the pass very important.

However, only the side road lacks the response from the middle, which is also a major weakness of the Portuguese national team. The result of a fruitless pass after pass is that Portugal's attack is useless, and the team finally lost to Germany by 0:1.

Before the game, Portuguese national team coach Bento expressed his concern about the team's lack of offensive strength: "We hope to become a team that controls the situation, because of our players' characteristics and the specific situation of the game, we must fight back, but we will not rely on it all. In counterattack, we need to organize the attack so that the team must become very strong when losing the ball to quickly complete the counterattack. The side road and the middle road must be combined. It is useless to have only the side road without the middle road. I hope the team can absorb this concept.

Bento's team suffered the most criticism in the qualifying stage is that the team could not open the opponent's defense without giving space.

Portugal team does not lack defensive strength, and can play out the three-back combination of Veloso, Merelles and Mutinio in the back position. Their running ability is quite excellent, but they lack rhythm. When the team controls the ball, they can't make a tactical balance.

In the death group with the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark, Portugal had to pursue more tactics, which made it quite difficult for Germany to play against Portugal.

However, although Portugal is indeed a very deep team, the team has always been affected by the lack of a strong center, which is also where Portugal has never been able to strengthen.

Although Portugal has Postega and Almeida, these two players are in average condition and can't be called a first-class center. Although Portugal still has Kimuro, an absolute superstar who has scored countless goals in Real Madrid, the Real Madrid star is also incompetent. In the case of teammates, he can't take care of two positions at the same time. Set.

"For many years, everyone has been saying that Portugal lacks a good center, even when Pauletta is still playing. You know, he is the player with the most goals in Portugal. We don't have a natural center, but those players who play on the sidelines can easily score goals."

Bento tried to cover up the team's shortcomings in this way, but it turned out that people's worries were not unfounded. In the match against Germany, Postega only shot once and failed to shoot the goal. The substitute striker Almeida had zero shots. There was a lack of people to grab points in the middle and became a foot on the goal and became a Portuguese team. A major reason for the failure.

In contrast to Portugal is Germany. Gomez made a strong header to declare that the strong center still plays a huge role in modern football.

Focusing on the side road, this is now Portugal's tactic, but the role of the side road has to be reflected through the middle road, but neither Queros nor Bento has solved the center problem.

Portugal has not produced an excellent center for a long time, from Joao in the 2000 European Cup. Pinto, Sa. Pinto, to Gomez and Pauleta, are not strong centers.

Almeida is in line with the characteristics of a strong center, but neither Queros nor Bento appreciate him very much. As a regular guest of the Portuguese team, Postega has now won a main position, but has still failed to change the problem of the soft Portuguese front line.

The Portuguese media pessimistically said that the national team may never be able to solve this problem, so Portugal now urgently needs Kim Mauro's goal, not his cross.

It can even be said that the number of goals scored by Kimuro will determine how far Portugal can go in this European Cup.

In the group of death, the first match between the two strong teams was much more dull than expected. The German team that grasped the control had no more threatening scenes except for scoring goals, while the relatively inferior Portuguese team found more scoring opportunities. Fortunately, the German team's goalpost helped twice, which was God's will.

But the human factor is more important. Neuer's divine performance kills the possibility of equalizing or even overtaking the Portuguese. It can be said that although there are not many highlight shots, Neuer played the best in the first four games of the European Cup.

Neuer's first real save in this game actually came from about 81 minutes in the second half, which made Neuer wait so long to show his skills, which was difficult enough for him to move back and down on the goal line.

At that time, Kim Mauro rushed into the left side, and then suddenly pulled out his foot and shot the low flat ball, and the ball went straight to the dead corner of the end of the gate, which was completely a proud skill frequently used by Kim Mauro in the league and the Champions League.

Because the ball is fast, the goalkeeper often jumps out and will also form a second attack of the opponent. What a Neuer, who has been prepared for him for a long time, lowered his center of gravity in the fastest time and flew out in a carp posture. His hand is soft and strong. There is a kind of gentle gentle touch of the surface of the water, and there is also a Chinese kung fu-like strike. Why is it so? Complicated?

Because blocking is only the foundation, hitting the ball to a non-hazardous zone is the foundation. The golden retriever of this ball is the most powerful candidate for this Golden Globe Award. It was not easy to hit a common shot in the league, but it was "elimated" by Neuer!

But there is no doubt that blocking Varela's shot at the end of the game is Neuer's best gift to German fans who are eager to win.

It is rare for Portugal to make a straight transition in the German penalty area. From left to right, it completely broke the German defense line. When the ball reached Varela's feet, he could choose any angle of the goal, and no one could effectively defend him.

At this time, Neuer really showed the world-class goalkeeper's single-knife quality. Instead of judging which direction to play, it is better to completely open his body and rush to the ball in a horizontal and completely split position.

This move was the biggest psychological shock that the goalkeeper could give to the single shooter, forcing the ball player to shoot in a hurry. Sure enough, Varela rushed over in Neuer. When Ram shoveled from the side, he hurriedly chose a shot approaching the corner. This is the most common one-on-one shooting method. How can he escape the "heavenly land" created by Neuer? Internet?!

This divine rescue made the golden burrow, who was watching, look up to the sky and sigh for a long time, as if the spirit of war in his heart had dissipated. There was such a divine gatekeeper, and it was in vain to want to break the door today!

In such a group of death, it is too difficult to score more goals, and you can fight for less goals. Judging from the competition in the first round, Neuer should be the most reassuring of the four goalkeepers.

With such a doorman, Levda can take time to study more about the attack. The German team that can't play the effect of mercury leakage is not a real German team. Once it meets a strong team with full offensive firepower, it is not a matter that can be saved by Noier!

Neuer's performance ensured that the German team did not lose, while Gomez's performance directly helped the German team win the victory.

I still remember that in the last European Cup, Gomez, who had high expectations at that time, performed as a disaster and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but he failed to score a goal, and even the close shot could release an earth-shaking anti-aircraft gun.

There was also a very dramatic scene in this game: when the German team could not attack for a long time, Löw decided to replace the then striker Gomez with veteran Klose. However, just as Klose was already on the sidelines, Gomez broke the deadlock and scored a header.

Loeb said after the game: "Gomez's goal is very important to the whole team, which makes us win 1:0, and victory is undoubtedly the most important!"

He did not deny the decision at that time: "I have decided to replace Gomez with Cloze, because I want to bring some fresh strength to the team near the end of the game."

I believe that with this goal, Gomez's situation in the national team can also be changed, at least he doesn't have to carry the name of incompetent.

At the end of the game, the Dutch team, another strong team in the same group, was unexpectedly defeated by Denmark, which gave the winning German team a quite favorable position.

"After the first round, the losing team will obviously face a very difficult situation," Lov said after commenting on the first round of the death group. "The Dutch team is now facing a lot of pressure, and we are much more optimistic, but we must continue to work hard because the game has just begun."

"This is a very tough game," German captain Ram also said in an interview in the mixed zone after the game. "But winning the game is the most important, and victory belongs to the whole team."

Gomez admitted after the game that he did feel pressure when he saw Klose standing on the sidelines: "I know this very well. Klose will play, so I need to thank the coach for his trust in me and giving me enough time."

Hedira, who assisted Gomez, said: "Today's game is very important, especially for physical requirements, which made us feel a little exhausted in the final stage, but we did not relax. Although the Portuguese team was well prepared, we won the victory!"

Compared with the joy of the German team, the Portuguese team broke out a discordant voice. The reason is that after the first half of today, after returning to the locker room as the team's number one star, Kim Retriever did not find a way to help the team win, but took time to change a hairstyle.

After the game, some media also exposed the different shapes of Kim Maello in the first and second half. For a while, the world was in an uproar.

Golden Mauro, are you coming to the European Cup, are you here to compete or to show!?

When a reporter interviewed Kim Mauro on this issue, he didn't feel sorry at all. Instead, he said, "As a public figure, I always guarantee my appearance. Is it wrong?"

Okay! What you said makes sense!

But now it's better to think about what to do to help the team get out of trouble.

As for the hairstyle, let's put it aside first!

Even the head coach Pingto, who has always been very valued by Kim Retrius, criticized: "He should say something more timely at this time!"
