Chapter 730: Substitute (I)
Magath was also upset, and the criticism he had encountered lately was so much. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but this old guy has encountered countless criticisms in his coaching career, this kind of messy criticism is simply not worth mentioning for him, but the problem is that he doesn't want to admit defeat now, he doesn't want everyone's praise, he wants the final result, and it is obvious that it is difficult to achieve results without Ai Huan.
So when he saw Ai Huan in his office, the joy in his heart almost made the old man jump up, he jumped to Ai Huan's side, grabbed Ai Huan's arm, and Ai Huan couldn't help but be startled when he saw the whole action, if this old boy could keep this state, then he could definitely play.
"Great, you're finally back, and then I'm finally relieved. ”
'No problem, I'm in really good shape right now and ready to play. Ai Huan said without hesitation, "I remember that we are going to fight burgers soon, right?"
Magath shook his head, he was in a very happy mood at this time, "As long as you come back, we don't need you to play in this game, I want you to focus all your energy on Barcelona, that's the mountain we have to cross, understand?"
Ai Huan was stunned for a moment: "I'm in good shape now?"
Magath immediately shook his head, "You are in a bad state now, and you still have injuries on your body, this is what we need the most." I'm going to put you on the bench for this game, but I'm definitely not going to let you play, hehe, and then we can move on. ”
Ai Huan immediately understood what Magath was thinking, but did it work?, and he had some questions, "I have no objection to this arrangement, but can we really accept a defeat now?" Although it is not explicitly stated, the meaning is also obvious, what if we lose to Hamburg again?
Magath looked confident: "You don't really think we can't even beat Hamburg, do you? In fact, the first two games were just a little twist, and I believe that as long as you show up on the bench, they will be confident enough to break Hamburg." You have to believe that!"
The weekend was full of fans who had already been seated with fans, and they had all received the news of Ai Huan's return to the team, although the news from the club recently was not very good, but as long as he came back, everyone knew how terrifying Ai Huan's recovery ability was, as long as he was there, God would be on Schalke's side.
Uncle Deepp is announcing the line-ups of both sides as usual: "Hamburg played 4-4-1-1 today, and it seems that they also know that God is back, so they have to put on a defensive formation. Goalkeeper Drobney, defenders Dickmeier, Westerman, Bruma and Janssen, midfielders Rincón, Cachar, Sala and Ilicevic, and the forward Alrans, there is only one Petrich in the front. It's almost the same squad as it was in the Telecom Cup before the season, but have they forgotten how we slaughtered them back then? ”
After that, he immediately raised his voice, so that his every word was clearly transmitted to every corner of Schalke, "Today we still lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, and the goalkeeper is still Zhang Chong, a Chinese international that we can trust." The back line of Högel, Maputi, Sarpe and Crishitto, the midfielders Gundogan, Mata, Joaquín and Holterby, the forward line is made up of Demba Ba and Pukki who have recovered their form, and it seems that this is also reserved for the upcoming showdown with Barcelona, but this is not a problem, the best news is that our god Ai Phantom has returned, and he has been on the bench for this game. Yes, the long journey has made him physically weak, and the fight for his country has also left him with some injuries, but these are not problems, as soon as he appears we can believe that God is on our side again, and whoever is there can only surrender to our feet before God, whether it is Hamburg or Barcelona, they can only die in the game. ”
That's the way it is, when Ai Huan appeared on the bench, Schalke's players really broke out with fierce combat effectiveness, as if Ai Huan's appearance really made them take a dose of stimulants, and their performance on the field made everyone can't believe what was happening in front of them.
Surprisingly, however, Hamburg didn't throw in the towel outright, they played brilliantly on the counter-attack, and their first shot of the game came from their counter-attack. In the fourth minute, Allans' long-range shot was blocked by Sarpe, Hamburg won a corner, and Westerman rubbed his heel in front of the corner from the right side of his teammate, but the power was too small and was easily obtained by Zhang Chong.
After Zhang rushed away the goal, Schalke's attack showed its power, Mata and Hegel made a wonderful combination, and then crossed from the right, the unguarded Finnish teenager Pukki shook his head in front of the goal and headed the ball into the far corner, and the score became 1-0. The whole coordination played very smoothly, and it felt like it was easy to tear the opponent's defense to pieces.
After that, the two sides fell into entanglement, but it was obvious that Hamburg still couldn't stop Joaquin and Juan Mata's quick attack, these two technical maniacs were too much of a headache for the Hamburgers, and they could only use fouls to stop the opponent's attack, but fortunately, there was no Ai Phantom on the field, and the threat of free kicks was not so obvious. The only threat came from Joaquín's free-kick in the thirteenth minute, but Demba Ba's header went just wide.
In the eighteenth minute, Hamburg launched a counterattack, and Dickmeier drove straight into the right side, but was blocked by Krishitto in front of the penalty area, and could only push the middle in front of the penalty area.
In the 26th minute, Juan Mata received a through ball from behind Demba Ba and burst into the box from an offside position, but his powerful shot was saved by Drobney and Schalke was awarded a corner. Holterby took a corner kick from the right, the ball fell to the feet of the unguarded Demba Ba in the middle, Demba Ba, who had just shown his skills in the Africa Cup of Nations, fell directly to the ground and tackled, and the football flew into the goal without hindrance, and the score became 2-0.
At this time, the proud Schalke had turned into a sea of joy, and Uncle Deep's voice sounded again: "God is with us, advance to Schalke, fight and win!"
