#World Cup 2022#In the early hours of November 17, Germany welcomed the only warm-up match before the World Cup in Qatar. In the end, Germany defeated West Asian powerhouse Oman 1-0 thanks to a goal from Bremen striker Phil Kruger.
After the start of this game, the German team took some initiative. In the 14th minute, Oman's Rabia volleyed high after being brought into the box on the left. In the 15th minute, Germany penetrated with a short pass from the right flank and Kai Havertz's push into the far corner of the box was saved by goalkeeper Mulheini. In the 30th minute, Germany won a free kick in front, and Sane's powerful free-kick was blocked by Omani goalkeeper Moheni. In the 45th minute, Lau sent in a cross from the left flank, and Mukoko won the ball from far inside the box and hit the post with his kick. In the first half, the two teams drew 0-0.
The game entered the second half, and in the 52nd minute, Oman made a mistake in a pass at the back and Phil Kruger volleyed after winning the ball in the box, which was denied by goalkeeper Moonheni. In the ensuing corner kick, Thilo Correll poked in the scuffle and the ball was blocked by Muheni on the goal line. In the 71st minute, Oman counter-attacked, Ahmadi crossed in front of the penalty area, and the unmarked Gasani strafed the ball wide, and Oman missed his best scoring opportunity of the game. In the 79th minute, Germany pushed forward on the right flank and Kai Havertz passed the ball to Phil Kruger, who pushed through Oman's goal in the box. Germany also narrowly beat Oman 1-0 with this goal.
Since this match was Germany's last game before the World Cup in Qatar, it was reasonable that they did not play the championship and failed to show their full strength. In this game, the only thing the German team lacked was that the assist ability of the two full-backs was not very good, and the attacking ability was average, and it was a complete copy of Bayern's tactical system.
In addition, in terms of defense, in continuing the tactical concept of Bayern's high-level pressing, whether Flick's national team can solve the problem of pressing on the defensive line and leaving a large area of space for the opponent in the back line has become very important, and the Oman team, which is not strong in this game, also seized the defensive space of the German team and played a high-quality counterattack.
