Chapter 068: Assassin
Eighty minutes into the game, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Wolfsburg were still tied 0-0.
VfL Wolfsburg dominated the pitch and had a whopping 21 shots on goal throughout the game, but those 21 shots failed to lead to a single goal.
Organthaler stood on the sidelines, with an anxious face, in this contest with the old coach Heynckes, he was inferior from the beginning, and was controlled everywhere, and now, the whole of Germany knows Wolfsburg's dependence on Yang Fan, Heynckes grasped Wolfsburg's pulse at the beginning, and made effective tactical arrangements.
At this time, not far away, Heynckes suddenly got up, and the old man walked to the sidelines and waved his hand at his disciple.
It was just this very ordinary gesture that made Augenthaler immediately alert.
Sure enough, with Heynckes' gesture, Borussia Mönchengladbach, who had been holding on for 80 minutes in today's game, seemed to have received a clarion call to attack. Suddenly there was an attack on the goal of Wolfsburg.
The so-called most classic defensive counterattack tactics are nothing more than this, you held on for most of the game, withstood the opponent's indiscriminate bombardment, wore down the opponent's patience, and used one or two counterattacks at the last moment to sneak up and win the game. Today, Heynckes tailor-made Borussia Mönchengladbach a targeted counter-attacking strategy.
Although this may be criticized by the media after the game, Borussia Mönchengladbach faced Wolfsburg, not Bayern Munich, and actually adopted such a conservative tactic, but at this time, where did Borussia Mönchengladbach still have the strength to pay attention to this. The only task for the Bundesliga vice-president now is to get points, get every league point he can get, and fight for relegation.
Corner kick from Wolfsburg.
Sarpe's ball, Yang Fan jumped up in front of the post, he headed back, Hank's subsequent header was powerless, and Borussia Mönchengladbach goalkeeper Keller jumped up and easily picked it up. Keller, who broke off Wolfsburg's corner, threw the ball directly and threw the ball to Insua in front!
After Insua won the ball, he pulled the ball and turned, and he did not dribble the ball extranely, but passed the ball directly to Neuville in front.
Neuville was optimistic about the situation in front of Wolfsburg before receiving the ball, Wolfsburg's attack had just ended, and their players had not had time to return to the defense, and now, in front of him was Wolfsburg's midfielder Van der Regate, after passing this midfield, only Madelen had a central defender behind him.
Neuville is known for his quick and agile dribbling and accurate shooting, and although he is 34 years old, the veteran is not convinced by his old age at all, and he realizes that this is a great opportunity for him to score!
"Neuville broke through with the ball. He was very fast, coming off the bench in the second half, which gave Neuville plenty of physique! The narrator shouted.
There was a huge cheer over the Brusia Park stadium, and it was a good opportunity for Borussia Mönchengladbach to wait for more than 80 minutes!
Van der Reeget greeted him.
The experienced Neuville had already figured out what to do with the ball, and he suddenly slowed down against Van der Regait. This made Van der Regait think he had found a chance to break the ball. He suddenly rushed forward, quickly closing the distance between himself and Neuville. Then the ball is broken in position.
Van der Régait was confident that he had broken the ball, but just when he thought he had succeeded, Neuville suddenly slammed the ball to the side, Van der Régait scooped up, and at the same time, Neuville accelerated around Van der Relgate, who had already made a dead move.
"Van der Reeget has been passed! he can't stop Neuville! he's still dribbling the ball!"
Madelen had been hesitating whether to rush out of the penalty area to intercept, but now seeing that the only barrier in front of him, Van der Reggate, had been crossed, he knew that he could not hesitate and immediately pressed out to grab it. Facing Neuville, who was dribbling the ball, Madelen fell to the ground and put a tackle.
"Stupid!" Augenthaler scolded angrily on the sidelines.
At this time, as the only central defender who dragged behind, this kind of robbery is completely a hammer deal, if it succeeds, it will successfully break the ball, and if you can't break the ball, then, you will give the opponent a chance to single the ball, as a defender, the most standard approach is to follow the opponent's striker all the time, play a role in interference, which is also much more secure than such a hammer deal.
Sure enough, Madelen failed to steal this time, and he was easily deducted by Neuville.
"The second one! Neuville's beautiful breakthrough! He's going to prove to the people that he's not old!"
"It's over!
The Wolfsburg fans in the stands covered their heads, and what does it mean to have an experienced veteran like Neuville face the goalkeeper one-on......-one?
Seeing Neuville get past the last defender, Madelen, Wolfsburg's goalkeeper Jench made a decisive move.
Neuville was taken aback by the speed of Yanki's attack, and as soon as he entered the box, he saw the goalkeeper make a save. Subconsciously looked at the goal, Neuville, who was going to hang the door, still gave up this plan, the goalkeeper attacked too fast, the distance was so close, it was not easy to hang the goal.
Neuville took the ball on the move and decided to get past the goalkeeper.
"It's over! Neuville has passed the goalkeeper! this is Borussia Mönchengladbach's chance!" the commentator shouted.
Neuville had just slid the ball out of the way, dodging Yanch's downfall, he went around the other side, and then caught up with the ball, and now all he had left was an empty goal, and it only took a light push to get the ball in. In fact, Neuville did just that, and he gently pushed the ......
The cheers of the home fans in the stands at the Brucia Park Stadium were so loud that Neuville had turned to run to celebrate the goal, but, at this moment, the huge cheers turned into boos.
What happened?!
Neuville turned his head to look.
"Oooo
That's right, it's Yang Fan, when Borussia Mönchengladbach counterattacked, he chased all the way back, when Van der Reeget was passed, he was still far from Neuville, Madelen's grabbing, slowing down Neuville's speed, which gave Yang Fan the time and opportunity to shorten the distance with Neuville, and then Neuville wasted a little time when Neuville passed Wolfsburg goalkeeper Yanch, and it was this little time that Yang Fan finally caught up! He slid the tackle, before the football crossed the goal line, shoveled the football out of the bottom line.
Yang Fan, who completed the tackle clearance, lay in the goal, tired and sluggling. He was hugged by goalkeeper Yanqi, who shouted at him, venting his excitement for the rest of his life.
"Oh, even though Young didn't score today, if Wolfsburg were able to get out of Brucia Park today, Young would still be a hero for Wolfsburg. ”
Yang Fan doesn't want to be such a hero, as a striker, he was not able to score, but became a hero because of the goal-line rescue, which is not something to be proud of and brag about.
Heynckes flicked his hands in frustration, he was ready to celebrate the goal, it was a classic counter-attack, and that was the tactical intention of bringing on Neuville in the second half. It's just that I didn't expect that when I finally hit the empty door, I was actually cleared, and the person who broke the siege would actually be Yang Fan!
Heynckes glared at Yang Fan, this is really a kid with character, be strong. He could guess what Yang Fan was thinking when he was desperately chasing back just now: I didn't score, and I won't let you score!
Borussia Mönchengladbach's corner.
Neuville drove into the box and Cae tried to head it over, but Wolfsburg goalkeeper Jench came out and slotted the ball over Cae's head.
"Football is out!"
"Counterattack! Now it's Wolfsburg's chance to counterattack!"
"Three to two!!"
Yanqi played the football out and landed at the feet of Santana, he directly transferred the ball from a long distance, got the ball in front of Sarpe, spread his feet and dribbled forward, at the same time, Yang Fan and Hank were also desperately inserting forward, and at this moment, the Menchengladbach backfield did not count the goalkeeper as two defenders, central defender Svensson, and Kruger, who was dragging behind in the midfield.
Three-on-two!
Chance for Wolfsburg!
Heynckes strained himself from his seat. He smelled danger.
Kruger went up to defend Salpe, but he didn't dare to make a rash move, so he could only run with Salpe.
The two men were so entangled, with Salpe getting close to the baseline with the ball. made a feint to break through, Kruger did not hesitate and immediately shoveled.
Salpe dunked the ball back and then, he crossed without hesitation!
It's a half-high ball!
Hank rushed to the front point, followed by Svensson, and at this time, Svensson couldn't care about Yang Fan at the back point.
Hank wanted to dive for a header, but Svensson clung to him, and the two of them rushed to the landing point of the football together!
The two men tugged and pulled, Hank tried to touch the football into the net, and Svensson stuck to it to prevent him from having a chance to touch the football.
"Hank—he didn't touch the football!" shouted the commentator.
Hank stretched out his leg to touch the ball into the net, but was unable to touch the ball under Svensson's defense. Borussia Mönchengladbach's goalkeeper Keller was completely attracted to Hank, who was up front.
By the time Keller noticed the blue-and-black figure at the back point, it was too late!
This is Yang Fan's chance!
Yang Fan who was running, the whole person flew up, dived and bombed!
His head collided with the football, and the football flew into the net, and Yang Fan flew into the net with the football!
He almost fell with the football and smashed into the goal!
This is the opportunity that has been waiting for eighty-five minutes!
Eighty-five minutes of waiting for a goal!
This is the Assassin!
