Qatar World Cup Football Championship Group E event on the 23rd, Japan reversed Germany 2-1, falling below the outside world's glasses, causing German fans to collapse collectively on the sidelines.
In fact, Germany's ball holding rate in the first half was as high as 81%, and Japan was almost hit, which seemed to make German players full of confidence. When defender Rudiger ran to the Japanese forward Asano Takuma to chase the ball, he suddenly changed to high-legged 's weird running posture, which was considered by the outside world to mock the opponent, and even ball reviews and senior German players criticized them sternly.
Germany's first half possession rate was as high as 81%, with a total of 14 shots. Although the 1 point he scored was a 12-yard free throw, it still seemed to make German players full of confidence. When the game was 63 minutes into the second half, Asano Takuma was sprinting from the left to chase the ball, Rudiger immediately caught up from the left. When he approached Asano, Rudiger suddenly changed into a strange running posture of the center of gravity raising his legs backward in one second, which made the audience and the ball commentator confused, and the picture was also spreading wildly on the Internet.
Former German professional player Haman criticized Rudiger's actions very disrespectful to Asano. You shouldn't be despising your opponent like this. I think this is very unprofessional and arrogant. He is still laughing, but now only one team can laugh. Harman said the spirit of the sport is to respect opponents, but he did not do so.
ball review Cascarino also expressed the same view. Rudiger was obviously mocking Asano, who was his opponent, in this weird running posture, he was also laughing while running, his arms were like a cartoon character running in syrup, with a special style, but it seems that this should not be the time to do it now.
Previous Premier player Liam Brady said that when Rudiger reviews his behavior, he should feel very embarrassed because the Japanese took revenge on him. I think he is laughing at Asano, but as Haman said, he himself can't laugh now.
3German finally lost to Japan with a total ball possession rate of 74%, 26 shots and 771 passes, while Japan's ball possession rate was only 26.2%, making it the second lowest ball possession rate of the winning team in the history of the World Cup. The German football fans on the sidelines were also quite collapsed, all of whom were incredible or slid their phones with their heads down, which was in sharp contrast to the Japanese fans who were excited to the highest point.
