Chapter 201: Did he make up for the system's weakness?

The German team's overall speed is very fast.

During their defensive recovery, the visual impact they brought to the audience was extremely shocking.

German fans in front of the TV were extremely excited when they saw this.

In the past years.

Thanks to the top-down reform of the national youth training system, German football talent has sprouted like mushrooms after rain, with players one by one taking the stage in the five major leagues.

Podolski, Lahm, and Schweinsteiger were the first batch.

Müller, Kroos, Khedira, Götze, and Schürrle were the second batch.

Sané, Havertz, Brandt, and Kimmich were the third batch.

Germany's various youth teams almost swept Europe.

How does the youth training plan add skill points to kids?

Speed maxed out.

Technique maxed out.

Ground attack maxed out.

Extreme obedience to tactical direction... maxed out.

That kid named Kieslin, don't imitate Klinsmann and Bierhoff!

Even if you win the Bundesliga Golden Boot, you might still not make the national team.

The problem arises.

Veterans have long pointed out that the direction of talent development has gone astray; small players molded as center forwards are not valued by clubs and get no chance to play in the first team. Germany's number 9... is about to die out.

But with the national team's string of victories, nobody paid attention to these opposing voices.

Center forward?

They're everywhere.

Will there still be a shortage of players for this position in the future?

Atlantic Stadium.

Cazorla hadn't even carried the ball far when he encountered a front-and-back pincer from Kimmich and Schweinsteiger.

"The overall speed of the two teams differs greatly."

"Spain's advance can't keep up with Germany's defensive recovery."

"Löw's defensive formation is very complete; Spain's team has little chance."

"Wow!"

Spanish fans suddenly burst into waves of cheers.

Cazorla made a feint, leaning his upper body to the right.

His feet quickly tapped the ball back and forth twice, perfectly dodging Kimmich's incoming tackle from behind.

In the blink of an eye.

The Arsenal midfielder is about to break out of the encirclement!

Unfortunately, he was facing Schweinsteiger.

Smack!

Halfway through the fried‑ball dribble move, the ball was cut off by a white shoe.

"The person got past, but the ball didn't!"

"Schweinsteiger's perfect anticipation; he timed the interception too perfectly."

"Germany must seize this moment of attack‑defense transition and launch a lightning counter‑attack!"

Just how strong is Schweinsteiger?

During his Manchester United period he was useless,

during his Bayern period he was top‑tier.

returning to the national team he was a true god.

He was the midfielder most hated by Barcelona fans, Argentina fans, Portugal fans, Messi fans, and Cristiano Ronaldo fans over the past few years.

Portugal's nemesis.

The continuer of tragedy.

The target of online attacks on the football forum.

《Starting with Max Level Football IQ, Messi Was Astonished! 》

《Haibaibu's Most Annoying Opponent: The German Steel Little Pig! 》

This guy not only has all‑around ability, but also possesses an extremely frightening football IQ, and is perfectly suited to the tactical system of Hai Clan Bayern and the German team.

Schweinsteiger steadied the ball with his foot, standing sideways with his back to Cazorla.

His dribbling ability is very weak.

Every time he tries to turn or spin, he's so clumsy it draws laughter.

But thanks to his strong physique he can briefly ease the opponent's pressing.

The man nicknamed "Little Pig" has physical condition and time management far beyond ordinary people.

Before forming a counter‑pressuring momentum in Spain's front half.

Smack!

The ball rolled swiftly along the ground to near Kimmich.

"That pass choice is really smart, not directly giving it to Kroos in the back."

"Bypassing Spain's local press‑shrink circle!"

See how Kimmich handles it.

The tempo can't be dragged,

Koke recently started building muscle under Simeone's advice.

Anyway, you're not fast; you need to build strength.

But his muscles aren't trained yet, and he's gotten a lot bigger all over.

He charged at Kimmich enthusiastically, but his speed is relatively a bit slow.

The Atletico Madrid youngster is the core of the pressing network in Spain's frontline in a formation without a striker.

At the same time.

The German team players immediately turned back and surged forward; from a bird's-eye view, it looked like a herd of white horses galloping.

Li Kang observed Kimmich's bodily tendency from God's perspective, then he quickly retreated again to support the back line.

Kimmich plays as a defensive midfielder at Bayern Munich and as a full-back for the national team.

Under Guardiola's tutelage, he formed a habit: before receiving the ball, he actively looks for teammates with better passing lanes, but limited by his personal technique, his positioning before passing... is too obvious.

It can't be called a bad habit; the 'tendency' is a required course in German youth training, not every kid is Kroos.

This small detail, in top-level matches of recent years... will determine the success or failure of the entire attack.

Koke was still a few steps behind.

Kimmich passed the ball back diagonally to Boateng, who was lagging at the rear of the formation.

Thud!

Just yesterday he shaved off the long hair on his big black leg, then he suddenly swung it.

The football flew howling toward Spain's half.

"Precise!"

"Boateng is also an important outlet for the national team!"

"Götze!"

"Götze's current build makes the nickname 'little pig' more fitting."

"The former German superstar, plagued by a strange illness, has seen his strength plummet, as if hit with a debuff that lowers all attributes."

"But it hasn't affected his game intelligence."

"He dug his studs into the turf and easily shook off Busquets."

"As the ball dropped, he cushioned it with his chest and passed it to Draxler."

"Even if he's slower, he's still not slower than Barcelona's defensive midfielder."

"It's fine."

"Busquets saw through everything; he had already warned Juanfran, while he himself quickly retreated."

"Spain's defensive line has, for now, shown no gaps."

"At the moment Draxler was about to trap the ball, he gave a light jump."

"Juanfran was caught off guard."

"The ball skimmed over the area where the two were and continued rolling toward the touchline!"

"A strong figure suddenly burst out, received the ball and strode forward, trying to disrupt Spain's defensive line."

"Hector!"

"Look at this ball!"

"Is he going to cross it?"

"When did Müller appear in that position?"

"What a great chance for the German team!"

"Hector surged to the edge of the penalty area, beating Ramos and Busquets' double-team to slip in a diagonal pass."

"Müller's run was ghostlike, as he darted into the box."

"No adjustment needed."

"His connection between receiving and shooting is a gift from God."

"The man arrived."

"The ball arrived."

"A flawless alternative striker!"

"The spectators have already started imagining his awkward celebration!"

"At the sideline."

"Miniano is nervous."

"Bosque's beard trembles slightly."

"The players on Spain's bench clutched their heads in shock."

"On the other side."

"Löw finally couldn't resist poking his finger into his nostril."

"Fans from both sides held their breath."

"Their gaze locked onto Spain's penalty area."

"They faintly felt that a goal would come in the next moment!"

"De Gea didn't zone out,"

"Upon noticing the German team preparing to deliver a deadly pass,"

"he launched himself."

He dislikes coming out, but he has no choice; Manchester United is different from the national team, a goalkeeper in a strong team... must always be ready to come out.

Critical moment.

He maintained the K-shaped blocking motion!

Trying to minimize Müller's shooting angle as much as possible!

Suddenly.

The back of Spain's number 6 again blocked his view!

"Li Kang!"

"When did he appear in that position?"

"Oh dear!"

Müller only felt emptiness under his feet, a beast-like force lifted his waist and abdomen!

The ball was gone.

The person was gone too.

In the moment he fell to the ground, his heart filled with questions: how did this eternal law of launching a lightning counterattack at the moment of Spain's attack-defense transition fail...

Accompanied by applause from the stands behind him.

Thud!

Li Kang decisively kicked the ball clear to the front.

The shadows in his mind spread wildly, and countless red lines appeared in the God's perspective.

He was frantically deconstructing the overall differences between Bayern and the German team...

VIP box.

Cruyff's face broke into a smile.

Watching Li Kang play always makes people feel happy.

"You lost, because with Li's presence, All-out attack-defense, having derived all tactical systems over decades, will lose its weakness."

"Of course, he now has a group of excellent teammates."

Beckenbauer ignored it, his face flushed, he clenched his fists, muttering to himself: "Just how large is his active range on the pitch..."
