Chapter 1109 Eating Boogers Can Relieve Stress
For most Chinese players, it was a difficult night, even more difficult than the semifinals four years ago.
Perhaps only Dong Fangzhuo got up early and was full of energy and came to the training ground for a run as always.
This may be the most extraordinary day, but it is also just an ordinary day.
He still runs, trains, and plans his day.
Of course, there is nothing going on today, there is only one thing, and that is to fight to the death with the German team, the winner takes all!
Perhaps Krauchen expected that the players would have insomnia last night, so there was no training at all this morning. Dong Fangzhuo was already sweating profusely from training, but still no one came to the training ground.
The sun gradually climbed higher, and it was not until ten o'clock that everyone came to the training ground. However, Krauchen did not arrange any training, just some easy ball exercises, playing net football and so on.
Krauchen called the coaching staff aside and continued to study tactics.
Fortunately, none of this news got out. If they knew that Krauchen decided on the tactics on the day of the battle, the fans would definitely be anxious to death.
Krauchen is unreliable...
But if Krauchen is not reliable, then all the head coaches who have led the Chinese team are not reliable, because no one can do what he did, leading the team to third place in the World Youth Championship, Olympic champion, and Asian Cup. Two consecutive championships, one World Cup semi-final, one World Cup semi-final, and now leading the team to the World Cup final.
He is already a legendary coach in this world.
Of course, if he wants to become the greatest legend, he, like Dong Fangzhuo, needs a Hercules Cup to prove it.
Krauchen's eyelids were a little heavy, and he seemed to lack confidence when he spoke. It seems that he stayed up all night last night, probably because he was thinking about tactics to deal with the German team.
The coaching staff meeting lasted just over half an hour, and then Krauchen summoned the players.
Although he has been unable to decide what formation to play, it does not mean that he is an ink-stained person, and now, he has made a decision.
"The following is the starting lineup."
He didn't say what formation to play, but just read the list.
"Zeng Cheng, Zhang Linpeng, Sun Jihai, Feng Xiaoting, Zhu Ting, Hao Junmin, Huang Bowen, Zheng Zhi, Zhao Xuri, Feng Renliang, Dong Fangzhuo."
After 11 people finished reading, basically the names of the previous starters, Gao Lin, who started the last game, was missing.
"We play a 451 formation."
"Perhaps it can also be called the 460 formation."
"We don't have a striker, we don't need a striker, and when we need a striker, it's Dong."
The 460 formation has not been played for a long time. The last time it was played was against Germany in 2006. I didn't expect that this formation would still be used 8 years later.
Krauchen thought about using 433 and 442, but he rejected them in the end. He couldn't afford to take the risk. Perhaps this was the game he dared not take the risk the most. In the end, he chose the safest formation. .
As for why not use 5 defenders?
That's impossible. Five defenders are waiting to be abused by Germany. The key to Germany's offense is not how many defenders you use, but whether you can compete with Germany in the midfield. The midfielder is the key, and The defender's job is still to mark Germany's ghostly forwards.
"Dong, you are actually a free man."
Krauchen's eyes fell on Dong Fangzhuo. This was his trump card. He was a god. He is the key to whether the team can win the Hercules Cup.
"This is definitely the most important fight of your life."
"It's also the most important battle in anyone's life."
"Maybe our footprints will be everywhere on the court, and we can never stop."
"Our offensive tactics did not rely on Dong in the last game, but in this game, our offensive tactics can only rely on Dong. The goal of all of us is to focus on defense first."

The German team is not as difficult to decide as Krauchen. Loew has too many choices.
And he doesn't have to work so hard.
These guys were in such good shape in the semifinals, did he even need to think about it?
The German team was the first to attend the press conference. He strolled towards the press conference. Although in full view of the public, he still habitually stretched out his fingers to pick his nose, and then put his fingers to his mouth, but in the end The mouth still didn't bite.
Eating boogers is said to relieve stress.
But obviously Loew is not that nervous now, and the pressure is not that great, so he didn't eat boogers, right?
"Just ask."
He was quite calm.
"Will you attack boldly in this game?"
"The German team has never been a team that can only defend. Isn't the result of defeating Brazil clear enough? I think the Chinese team will definitely defend across the board, and we must be prepared to break the bus."
“How to guard against Chinese directors?”
Loew put his finger to his mouth again, and it was already touching.
Obviously, Dong Fangzhuo's name made him feel pressure, but he still held back and didn't bite...
"Defend Dong?"
"I think it's almost impossible, but we won't let him shoot easily. We have the best goalkeeper in the world, the best defenders. We also have the best team spirit. Today's game is a team game. It’s a game, not a game of one person. I have confidence in the German team from top to bottom.”
"We have to keep him away from the penalty area, but I think he will also stay away from the penalty area. From what I know about Krauchen, he will definitely not put Dong on the defensive line because he is worried about lack of midfield control. Even Therefore, Dong may return to a deeper position."
"So if the German team fails, will you resign?"
"At this time, we should not discuss this issue. Germany will not fail, we will win the championship."
Finally, Loew stuck his right little finger into his mouth out of habit, biting and biting...
Because he really felt tremendous pressure this time.
"What do you think of the Chinese team?"
"On the surface, the Chinese team is Dong's team alone, but this is false. The Chinese team is actually quite strong. In the quarterfinals, their defender scored a goal, and in the semifinals, their captain scored a goal. Well, before that, several players have scored goals. In fact, like Germany, they are a team that pays great attention to the team. They also have a German coach Clausen, so you ask me why Argentina Will the team lose? Because they only rely on Messi, and the Chinese team does not. So, facing such an opponent, all the hairs on my body will stand up..."
"So, what's the predicted score?"
"I'm sorry, I never predict the score of the game, but I firmly believe that we can win the final victory."
