326 The Germans Who Never Give Up(1/2)
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
More than 20,000 Betis fans at the scene also burst into cheers like tsunamis!
Side-side!
At the moment Robben picked the ball over Leman, Tang Feng, who had already rushed to the sidelines, also raised his arms and celebrated with all his heart!
The players on the Betis team's bench rushed to the sidelines to celebrate. In their opinion, they were almost taking the championship trophy in advance with two goals!
On the field!
Robben, who scored a wonderful long-distance rushing towards the Betis fans, looked at him excitedly, put his hand in his ears, and enjoyed the cheers of the fans.
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Robben!!!"
After celebrating, Robben also gave Joaquin a strong hug!
Although Joaquin did not touch the ball from beginning to end in the attack just now, if it weren't for him who had been inserting at high speed to help Robben attract defense, Robben would not be able to easily break into the opponent's penalty area and then complete a fatal blow!
Therefore, this ball, Joaquin also has great contributions!
Joaquin did not show any dissatisfaction with Robben's practice of dribbling the ball all the way.
As produced by Betis' youth training camp, Joaquin's love for Betis is unimaginable.
Therefore, he is willing to make any sacrifices for the team to win!
...
Compared with the excited Betis, the Dortmunds were in despair.
He was already behind two goals in the first half. In the final of the single-game winning or losing, Dortmund was undoubtedly on the verge of the cliff, and it can be said that he was a life-threatening death!
As a standard German, Summer has the willpower of steel!
In his brilliant career, he has experienced countless major reversals from falling behind to overtaking!
Therefore, when you are only one step away from the championship, Summer will not easily admit defeat!
After looking at the time, there should be nearly five minutes left in the first half and stoppage time. So he walked to the sidelines and waved his hand, signaling the players to attack with all their might and strive to get a point back before the end of the half!
Tang Feng, who had finished celebrating in front of another coach's seat, also noticed Summer's actions.
So he also walked to the sidelines and clapped his hands, attracted the attention of the players, and made a false pressure on the players. He signaled everyone to stabilize the rhythm on the court in the last few minutes and strive to maintain a 2-0 ending!
Obviously, both coaches understand that the mentality of the difference between the halftime is one ball and the gap is two balls is completely different!
After the game started again, Dortmund's offense rushed to Betis' penalty area like a tide!
Betis's formation contraction and began to defend with all his strength.
Even Joaquin and Robben, two guys who don’t like to return to defense, returned to their side to participate in the defense of the wing on the half.
Even so, Dortmund, who was fully defeated, sent the ball to Betis' penalty area again and again.
For a moment, the Betis team was in a panic!
Fortunately, the time left for Dortmund in the first half is limited!
In the face of Betis's united defense, Dortmund's idea of recovering a goal before the end of the first half failed.
Until the referee on duty Larson blew the whistle to the end of the first half, the score was still 2-0!
On the way back to the locker room, when passing the player's passage, when he saw the League Cup trophy placed there, the Betis players were full of excitement because they believed that in another forty-five minutes, he would lift the trophy.
The Dortmund players' faces were full of frustration.
No one reached the final just to win the runner-up!
The Dortmund players are also here for the championship!
They hope that after this game, the club's honor room can fill another gap!
However, at this moment, they are so close to the championship trophy, but so far away...
...
Tang Feng was still the last one to return to the locker room, and he walked in with applause!
"You did a very good job in the first half! Your performance deserves the score in the first half!!!" Tang Feng was not stingy with his praise and highly affirmed the players' performance in the first half.
"Especially you, Al Yang! Seeing your long-distance raid just now reminded me of a word, that is 'Flying Dutch'! The Germans were completely unable to stop you from flying on the court!" Tang Feng praised Robben's performance again.
Robben seemed a little embarrassed about Tang Feng's praise. The flying Dutchman is the nickname of Dutch football emperor Cruyff. It is no exaggeration to say that Cruyff is the idol and role model of every young Dutch player.
"Of course, except Al Yang, every player on the field performed very well. On the defensive end, facing the big men of Dortmund, you did not retreat! On the offensive end, you made Dortmund's best defense line in the Bundesliga uneasy..." After praising the goal-scoring hero Robben, Tang Feng also praised the team's overall performance.
It was rare to hear Tang Feng's unreserved praise during the halftime break, and the young players were all very happy.
Several experienced veterans like Garney were relatively calm because they knew very well that the real focus of Tang Feng’s speech was often after “but” or “but”!
Sure enough, after some praise, Tang Feng continued: "But... we must not be satisfied with the status quo. The score of 2-0 is not enough to ensure that we win the championship! You should all know the Germans' steel willpower! In international events, the Germans have made many classic big reversals! I tell you very responsibly that once you make our team the background of the Dortmund's big reversal, you will suffer after you go back!"
When the players who were a little complacent just now immediately gathered their minds and sighed that Tang Feng changed his face so quickly!
I was just praising their performance in the first half, and then there was a naked threat!
Seeing the players' performance, Tang Feng nodded with satisfaction.
What is the use of kindness and power?
I am simply a living textbook!
Tang Feng said secretly.
"There is no doubt that the score of zero to two will not make Dortmund give up. There seems to be no word 'give up' in the German dictionary! In the second half, Dortmund will definitely launch a more crazy attack than the last stage of the first half! Therefore, I hope everyone can be mentally prepared! Of course, we cannot blindly defend the second half like the last moment of the first half. There are still 45 minutes left in the game. We should continue to put pressure on Dortmund on the offensive end so that they dare not attack with all their strength. Remember the weaknesses in their defense line that I told you, and play more on the ribs and behind them, and there will naturally be a chance. If we can score one more goal in the second half and expand the lead to three goals, then we can basically win this game!"
"So, my requirement for everyone in the second half is to keep our counterattack while doing a good job of defense! Try to lock in the victory early! Do you understand?" After reminding the players, Tang Feng also talked about the arrangements for the second half.
After hearing this, the players nodded seriously!
Although they did make them feel a little complacent in the first half, they all knew that in such an important final, there was no sloppy situation!
"Well, there are still the last forty-five minutes. Let's welcome the championship in the best condition!!!" After looking at the time, the second half of the game was about to begin. Tang Feng walked to the center of the locker room and shouted.
"Champion!!!" the players also shouted in unison with excitement!
...
The two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half, and Dortmund did not make personnel adjustments.
After the kick-off, Dortmund launched a fierce attack!
Not only the players in the midfield and frontcourt, the two full-backs over 30 years old, Heinrich and Reutt also began to assist frequently regardless of their physical energy consumption.
It has to be said that when the resolute Germans plan to attack with all their might, the physical and mental pressure they bring to their opponents are very high!
These young men from Betis have basically no chance to play against the German team before, so naturally they have no chance to experience the fortitude of the German team.
Although Tang Feng made them mentally prepared during the halftime break, when the German offensive really came, the Betis players still felt a little caught off guard.
"Damn it! Focus on the people around you! Don't give them the chance to shoot easily!!!" Van der Sar clapped his hands and shouted at his teammates after saving Kohler's header and Amoruso's turn and shot!
With rich experience, he obviously noticed that the team's defense was already a little panicked under the continuous attacks of Dortmund.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the goal is lost!
Tang Feng on the sidelines also noticed this.
He had no choice but to find that no matter how serious he reminded or arranged it, the players were the ones who were really facing the pressure.
If they can't withstand the pressure, no matter how much they do as a coach, it will be unnecessary.
He could only cheer the players on the sidelines with loud shouts!
Although Betis performed very hard, the goal was still concealed under the storm-like attack of Dortmund.
This is an hour after the competition is going on!
Ricken took the ball on the right and prepared to go down the bottom!
However, Garney, who knew that this might be his last European game, also performed very hard today, and his defense made Ricken unable to find the gap in crossing.
Recken had no choice but to force the ball down, but in fact he used his heel to knock the ball to Reuter who had assisted behind him.
Facing Ricken's pass, Reuter made a direct move to make a cross.
Huajin is not suspected of being a fraud, so he stretches out his legs and blocks it immediately!
Facing Joaquin's extremely amateur defense, Reut easily retracted his right foot and drove the ball forward, then shook the gap he wanted. Then he did not have any extra moves and directly took the ball to the penalty area.
Reuter is a standard German player. His feet are not fancy and his movements are very sharp, but his basic skills are very solid.
The cross ball without defensive interference is of high quality. It drew a wonderful arc in the air and then flew straight to the back point!
Kohler also encircled the commanding heights in the penalty area as soon as possible!
Even though Pablo Alfaro was trying to squeeze him out, he still couldn't stop Kohler from rushing to the landing point!
Then, Kohler, who was squeezed into the outside line, jumped high against Pablo Alfaro and pushed the ball in the opposite direction.
Van der Sar had just moved to this side of the post to block the shot, but found that the ball was flying in the other direction, and he didn't even have time to make a symbolic save.
The ball hit Van der Sa's body and plunged into the goal!
