Yesterday's three UEFA Nations League games, only one game was played, and the report card was ugly. If Griezmann had handled that one-handed knife a little better..... Unfortunately, the most unreliable thing in this world is the word "if", if I hadn't drunk much that night, I would have talked to Guli Reba until dawn. Today's plan is still the European League, plus a World Preliminary Tournament UAE vs Australia, the tickets have been out, first of all, everyone is most concerned about Germany vs England.
Germany vs England
Germany's last performance against Italy was probably Frick's worst performance since he took office, not because Frick's tactics were not well designed, but because most of the German players seemed to be in a state of vacation, not on the intensity, physically and mentally unprepared. Frick's tactics are still the same as when he coached Bayern, focusing on the side of the pressing, the center not only has to take on the task of finishing, but also has the ability to do the ball at a high altitude, giving mueller and Grezka in the second line. But the gap between Werner and Levan is not a tiny point. Sane and Gnabry, on the other hand, were completely sleepwalking.
According to the Speculation of the German media about the starting lineup of this game, Frick's thinking tonight must change. Because of today's lineup, it's harder to meet Frick's tactical needs. Havertz's no. 9 position may be the best solution at the moment. But the combination of attacking midfielders such as Musharra, Muller and Hoffmann is not easy to play a very sharp side attack, and the combination of the back with Kimisi and Gundogan is delicate and hard, and there are also concerns about the problem of the middle road barrier. Germany's centre-backs are not much of a problem, but full-backs have limited help in attacking. Then today is to resolutely infiltrate the middle road, scramble for the second or even the third landing point, and continue to attack the middle road.
Then Southgate can be lazy, as long as he takes out the starting formation and tactical arrangement of last year's European Championship against Germany, it is basically targeted deployment. Southgate's victory over Loew relied on a tough midfield defence, with Rice and Phillips playing as double backs, the front to Kane and Sterling, and England's centre-backs and wing-backs rich. You can laugh at Southgate for being tactically conservative, but this 343 formation is the ideal formation england uses to play Germany, Belgium or Spain, which is an offensive powerhouse. Copying your own homework is the optimal solution.
The German team, which plays at home, is still stronger than England in terms of market attractiveness. Than the background, you England can not compare, and you England just lost to Hungary, this state of visiting Germany, the market image can not be dominant. But I must say that the german team is not much better. That's why there will be some data, initially only positioned in a draw, Germany can not make concessions at home, which is already very telling. Even if it rises later, it only means that Germany is more popular. After all, in the public opinion circle, where is the wind evaluation of the three meows in England comparable to the German chariot?
So combining the information at the data level, and the technical and tactical understanding of both teams, I think England are unbeaten tonight. If you're going to ask me who's stronger, Frick or Southgate, I certainly recommend Frick. But this game, not only the competition between the two coaches, the focus is still on the players, the current German squad, is not Frick's favorite, the performance of the winger and the full-back is not passed, and there is no serious center who can use it. Southgate already had a successful experience, and as long as he did not make major mistakes in platooning, England was now not afraid of Germany. Finland vs Montenegro, UAE vs Australia, Italy vs Hungary three shows.
