As a German fan, say:
Germany is very lucky. If it wasn't for Mexico that wasted a counterattack, Germany could lose 0-2 or 0-3.
In addition to counterattack efficiency, Mexico played very well. They didn't directly stack buses as they did yesterday in Iceland. From time to time, the highs forced him to bully Khedira and Cross, and even pressed Hummels directly, making the German shaft difficult to play and advancing slowly.
This shows that Mexico is amazingly fast, and Germany is extremely heavy.
Once Germany's progress is slow, Loew's signature multi-point attack in the frontcourt becomes a tough battle in the compressed space. The position of the Mexican front line of defence was neat and tidy, and the German sideways were not included in the outpost and they were frozen.
Kroos scored the team up to 6 times to prove that he couldn't speed up and that Germany couldn't enter the penalty zone and only had long shots.
This Germany has won the world championship, so Loew insists on this style, and I have no opinion. But to be honest, Luf is too addicted to this style of non-frontal, this conduction-oriented style. Two years ago the European Championships suffered and he continued.
Today’s confrontation with Mexico’s unchallenged demands is clearly ineffective. This time, one of the needs is a speed breakthrough, and the second is the siege hammer.
Speed, could have used Sanni, but he is not.
The siege hammer, Germany's last Gomez, is similar to Argentina’s yesterday’s Iraq’s Higuain’s, and France’s yesterday’s return to Jirug, which was unfortunately late.
Originally, Germany was the most feared team in the world. Twelve years ago, the World Cup started, Frings solved a long-range shot. Sixteen years ago, Saudi Arabia and Klose made the first goal sixteen years ago. Twenty years ago, Klinsmann's chest threw the ball in the first game. Afterwards, Yugoslavia was the long shot of Tanat and Bill Hoff.
In the most difficult years of Germany, Germany can rely on long shots and headers to break the city. If you lose today, don’t say forget it, but really, it’s not Germany.
Still, I don't have any opinion on Loew's insistence on this style. After all, he has won the world championship. But in today's game, when Germany is clearly blocked and pushed forward, it really needs the kind of rough but enviable style of old Germany: Ballack's plug in, Klose's grab points, Schneider's cross, Harman's long shot, and so on.
In the last term, Germany and Klose were alternatives, and the change was quicker. In the middle of the field, there were still fierce warriors like pigs. Today, it was slow and he was strangled by Mexico.
Is it true that Love is so proud? Really think that the world cannot break his routine?
Losing the ball is not afraid, but losing is not very German.
