Chapter 273: The Backbone
Turkey, Istanbul, Ali, Miyan Stadium, the famous Hell Stadium.
Yang Fan stood in the middle circle, and he looked up to see that in the front stand of the court, there were not only two hundred bloody sheep's heads, but also a huge banner, hanging vertically from the roof of the court. The white 'color' banner, the blood-red 'color' font, as if dripping with blood, reads:
Welcome to Hell.
Yang Fan muttered to himself, "Hello, hell." ”
At this time, the big screen in the stadium also played the starting lists of both sides in this game.
Galatasaray:
'Goalkeepers': Mohammed, Borouk;
Defenders: Sabri, Setin, Balta, Ganger;
Midfielders: Topper, Ackerman, Tulan, Lincoln;
Forwards: Round, Hakan. Sucre;
Nine of Galatasaray's starting eleven were Turkish, one Brazilian and one Congolese. Of the nine Turkish players, except for veterans Hakan and Suker, who have announced their retirement from the national team, the other eight are Turkish internationals. The Brazilian is midfielder Lincoln, and the Democratic Congolese striker Roundup.
Almost 90% of the players of the Turkish national team are from the top three of the Turkish Super League, and Galatasaray, Besiktas, and Fenerba provide blood for the Ottoman Iron Horseman.
Wolfsburg line-up:
'Goalkeeper': Yanqi;
Backline: Merler, Ricardo, Costa, Madelen, Schaefer;
Midfielders: Josue, Boateng, Santana, Marin;
Forwards: Yang Fan, Zheke;
After Josue moved to Wolfsburg in the winter, he immediately occupied a main position in the team's midfield, 'Monteyanu' completely fell out of favor, and Marcelinho's place was gradually replaced by Santana. As for Marin, the German youth international is very popular with Magath and also occupies two main midfield positions with Boateng.
At the start of the game, Wolfsburg kicked off first, and Yang Fan kicked the football to Dzeko.
The entire stadium erupted in huge boos.
Ali. The Miyan Stadium has a capacity of 25,000 people, but the noise created by Galatasaray's fans made the visiting Wolfsburg players think they were facing 250,000. All the heartbeats involuntarily followed their boos and sped up in frequency.
Wolfsburg's possession was quickly lost.
Marin was clearly out of shape after the start of the game, and after receiving a pass from Santana, he was easily denied a tackle in the face of Toper's tackle.
Galatasaray broke the ball and immediately launched a counter-attack.
Lincoln made a long pass to the front, Hakansuk headed the ball, and Roundup tried to volley 'volley' and 'shoot', but unfortunately the high 'shot' was released.
Although Galatasaray's 'shot' and 'goal' were not threatening, the entire Ali and Miyan stadiums immediately erupted in huge cheers, as if they had scored.
Magath frowned slightly when he saw Marin lose the ball.
Sometimes, a small mistake can have a profound impact.
Galatasaray's opening 'shot' and 'goal', although there was no threat, but it greatly boosted morale, this team in their home stadium as if playing 'chicken' blood, in the subsequent game, in the whole stadium 'fans' almost crazy roar, they frantically attacked Wolfsburg's goal 'goal'.
Magath's wishful thinking before the game, hoping that Wolfsburg could preemptively suppress Galatasaray's momentum, failed at the beginning.
In the face of Galatasaray's fierce attack, Wolfsburg could only fully defend, and even Yang Fan had to retreat to the half to help defend, because he was alone in front of him, and no one passed the ball to him, so it was better to return to his own half to be able to get more football.
Ten minutes later, Galatasaray's attack was ferocious, but Wolfsburg's goal was still standing, and the score was still 0-0. However, Wolfsburg was very wolfish and they were overwhelmed by the home team. It seemed to sink into the frantic noise of Ali, Miyan Stadium.
Generally speaking, the home team is 'obsessed' with the away team, and it is usually the important players who boo the away team, or when the opponent gets a good opportunity, the boos will be very violent.
However, Galatasaray's ball 'fans' are obviously not like this, as long as a player from the visiting team touches the ball, the stands immediately boo. And if an important player of the away team gets the ball, such as Yang Fan, the boos can be so breathless that people with heart attacks can even faint in fright. And once the ball was converted and Galatasaray's players got the ball, the shrill boos instantly turned into cheers. Even the neutral commentators who don't like Turkey's hellish home stadium have to admit that Galatasaray's ball 'fans' are too crazy and powerful, and their methods are absolutely devastating to the away team.
"Let's be honest. Ali, the Miyan Stadium is really like the banner they hung said, this is hell, the visitors play here, they have been tortured like this since the beginning of the game. This requires a great deal of mental endurance, and being able to play at the usual level of seventy or eighty percent is already quite good. The narrator said.
That's right, you heard it right, according to a UEFA survey, in Turkey's three big 'clubs' stadiums, the teams in other European leagues can show Xiàn at the usual level, which is already quite good. The road trip to Turkey is something that Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and other giants like Milan are not willing to face.
When Yang Fan got the ball, he would hear the crazy boos in the stands, not only boos, but also all kinds of abuse.
In Ali, although there are seats in the stands of the Miyan Stadium, almost most of the Turkish football 'fans' still choose to stand and watch the game. They sang and danced and shouted insults, and they were the twelve men on the field of Galatasaray
Yang Fan received a pass from Boateng and tried to make a wall-to-wall connection with Marin, but Marin's pass was a little weak and was tackled out of the touchline by Galatasaray's midfielder Ackerman.
Galatasaray's 'fans' just now were still in Ackerman's clever tackle, which immediately turned into cheers, which is really admirable, and their change is even more 'precise' than the computer design.
Wolfsburg's throw-in, Santana threw the sideline ball, Dzeko stopped the ball in the chest, and chose to knock the football to Josue who came to pick up, who used a very awkward posture to give the football to Yang Fan under the pressure of Ganger.
After Yang Fan stopped the ball in the 'chest', he raised his foot and 'shot'! Galatasaray's players were very closely marked by him, and there were many movements in his hands, so Yang Fan had to choose to pass the ball at the first time, pass or 'shoot' the 'goal', and once he hesitated, he would fall into a heavy siege. However, his 'shot' and 'goal' were a little out of standard and hit the plane.
Seeing Yang Fan's 'shot' and 'goal' hit the plane, Ali, the stands of the Miyan Stadium resounded with huge schadenfreude boos and whistles.
"Chinese, you soft egg!"
"Oooo
"Chinese pigs!"
Yang Fan's face twitched, he glanced at the stands viciously, although he couldn't understand what these Turks were saying, but he heard the boos in the stands, in addition, what made Yang Fan the most angry was Ali, a huge portrait in the stands of Miyan Stadium:
This is a caricature of a Chinese during the Qing Dynasty, with long braids, a cowardly face, kneeling there.
Next to it is also written in Chinese and English: Ignorant Chinese, kneel!
When he saw this cartoon at that time, Yang Fan's face changed, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. It's very difficult to go up and beat these scumbags, he can't go up to fight, this breath is uncomfortable, and he can only wait until the game to vent. Coupled with the previous tricks and humiliation of him and his teammates by the Turks, this can be regarded as a new hatred and an old hatred, if Yang Fan does not score in this game, he will be aggrieved and frustrated! Therefore, in this game, Yang Fan will be desperate as never before.
However, in today's game, Wolfsburg's table Xiàn is very bad. At the beginning of the game, the home team Galatasaray took the initiative on the field, and Wolfsburg fell into passivity from the beginning, in addition, I have to admit that the crazy home atmosphere of this stadium has a great impact on the players of Wolfsburg, many people are very nervous, in the face of crazy boos and abuse, some people have stiff bodies, and some people even have blank brains, and they don't know what to do at all.
In a word, many people are really scared by this crazy stadium. No matter how many rumors they have heard about this hell stadium before, and even because they are angry at their opponents, they have already gritted their teeth to play well, to fight hard, and tell themselves not to be affected by the away environment, but when they really face the current situation, there are really few people who will not be affected.
Yang Fan belongs to the kind of player who has a big scene, don't look at him as less than twenty years old, but, when it comes to psychological elements, he said second, no one in the Wolfsburg team dares to say first, even those veterans who have played in the Bundesliga for many years, do not have the perseverance he shows.
Ali, the boos and insults at the Miyan Stadium, as well as the cartoons that insulted 'sex', instead of frightening him or scaring him, instead of 'arousing Yang Fan's anger' and making him high-spirited.
Yang Fan has no psychological burden, and he has a strong desire to fight, but he is a striker, if he wants to get the opportunity to 'shoot' and 'goal' and score goals, he needs the support of his teammates, no one passes the ball to him, and it is impossible to expect him to take the ball from the back to the front. Even if Maradona is here, it's unlikely that he will be able to do it, Galatasaray's players are extremely fierce, if you pass with the ball, you can pass the first, you can't pass the second, you can pass the second, you can't pass the third, because you will definitely be brought down.
The striker needs the support of his teammates, so when the whole team is bad, Yang Fan's performance is naturally not much better.
On the other hand, the home team Galatasaray's table is much more 'colorful'.
Although the Turkish Super League is not one of the top five European leagues, the strength of the three giants of the Turkish league is not weak, and, don't forget, Galatasaray is a frequent visitor to Europe, they are the winners of the League Cup in 2000, and they can occasionally play in the Champions League. The goalkeeper has played in the Champions Cup or Valencia, Liverpool and other teams in the League Cup, coupled with the crazy atmosphere at home, they are still relatively comfortable against Wolfsburg, a European rookie opponent.
Galatasaray, playing at home, were on fire and laid siege to Wolfsburg's goal.
As for Wolfsburg, he was huddled in his own half, looking pitiful and helpless with his head in his hands and no way to fight back. The only threat was Yang Fan's long-range 'shot' from outside the penalty area.
Seeing the situation on the field, the commentator in Istanbul couldn't help but sneer: "The Wolfsburg people played a European match for the first time, for them, playing in this stadium is really a great torture, German rookie, feel Ali, Miyan Stadium, feel the strength of the Turkish team." By the way, there is also Yang Fan, the golden boot of the Bundesliga, I hope this Chinese 'shooter' will not cry after the game. ”
Magath had a solemn expression on his face, he knew it was going to be a tough away game, but he still didn't expect the team to play so passively.
Originally, Magath still had a glimmer of hope for the stadium to win away from home, but judging from the current situation, it is quite good for Wolfsburg to be able to get out of this game, and it is not unacceptable to take a step back and say that if it can lose by a small score of 0-1, it is not unacceptable.
Galatasaray's midfielder, Brazilian Lincoln, shook off his fellow Brazilian Josue with a beautiful bicycle movement in midfield.
The stands erupted in frantic cheers.
The cheer, however, immediately turned into a loud boo, as Boateng rushed up and stabbed Lincoln's soccer ball out of Lincoln's feet with a foul tackle. The football rolled to the side, Galatasaray's captain Turan went to catch the ball, however, someone got the ball before him, it was Santana.
Santana pulled the ball sideways, let go of Turan, who pounced on the ball, and passed the ball out. Yang Fan wins the ball!
The Wolfsburg fans, who had only 200 people, burst into the few cheers since the start of the game, although they were quickly silenced by the huge boos of the opponent's Galatasaray fans."
After Yang Fan received the ball, he didn't look ahead, nor did he move forward with the ball, he passed the football to Marin for the first time, this kid is fast, and his foot skills are also good, and he can form a breakthrough on the side.
After receiving the ball, Marin immediately dribbled the ball forward, and in the face of Ackerman, who came up to intercept, he tried to pass the ball, but his intention was seen by Ackerman, who fell to the ground and shoveled the football out of the touchline.
"What's wrong with this kid today?" Yang Fan was very dissatisfied with Marin's appearance, Marin seemed to be sleepwalking on the field today, and he hadn't succeeded once since the start of the game. This is in stark contrast to Marin's table in the league.
I was frightened by the atmosphere of this stadium?!Yang Fan was suspicious in his heart.
On the sidelines, Magath frowned, and he was also very dissatisfied with Marin's appearance after the start of the game.
Wolfsburg's sideline ball, this time, Santana's sideline ball, was knocked to Yang Fan by Boateng.
Yang Fan controlled the ball at his feet, he was not in a hurry to make a move, after nearly twenty minutes of the game, he could see that today's game was a fierce battle, and it was more about patience and perseverance. Unless there is a good opportunity in a good position, it is impossible to shoot blindly from a distance.
Yang Fan made a move that pretended to break through, drawing Galatasaray's back midfield. Captain Turan ran two steps back to block, but he pulled the ball back and did not break through. There is no passing, but looking up and waiting, waiting for his teammates to 'plug in', otherwise there is no passing point.
"Yang Fan is now the calmest player on the entire pitch at Wolfsburg. The commentator exclaimed, "This player who is not very good-tempered in the Wolfsburg team and is most likely to be affected by emotions and the environment is the most normal person in the away team!"
Yang Fan controlled the ball and controlled the game situation, which really made the Wolfsburg players who had been suppressed take a breath a little, not only that, but seeing Yang Fan take the ball so calmly, their hearts were also unstable. This young man who is not yet twenty years old, this Chinese teammate, has long been the real backbone of this team!
Seeing that Yang Fan was not flustered, the tension in the hearts of the other players in Wolfsburg was actually slightly relieved.
"Yang Fan is the absolute core of this team, this Chinese 'shooter' is Wolfsburg's top scorer, he is the Bundesliga Golden Boot last season, and now he is also the first 'shooter' in the Bundesliga. The Sky TV commentator said, "Yang Fan is very calm, he is not affected by Ali at all. Influenced by the frenetic atmosphere of the Miyan Stadium, he is the most normal person in Wolfsburg, and this team can not be from Ali. Miyan Stadium got the result that they were satisfied with, and it was up to the young Chinese star to see what he was looking for. ”
Boateng came over and Yang Fan passed the football to him.
Boateng, who received the ball, immediately attracted a scramble from Galatasaray's players, and Yang Fan immediately shouted, "Prince." The latter did not hesitate and passed the football to Yang Fan.
In the case of an unfavorable attack, Yang Fan came out on his own, and he became the offensive organizer of Wolfsburg.
Magath on the sidelines was also stunned, he didn't arrange it like this. However, he didn't make any changes, nor did he shout, but waited and saw what happened.
