Chapter 585: Hat-trick

There was also a small incident before the game, as a large number of fans flocked to Schalke, which caused a traffic jam, which also caused the Cologne team bus to be stuck on the road, and it was delayed for ten minutes, and the game was delayed for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The fans were excited about the situation, thinking that there would always be some psychological problems for the other side and that their own team could use the opportunity to break them down in one fell swoop, but the reality was surprising because Schalke had their own problems after the game started.

In the last game, Magath also saw the problems of his team, he originally abandoned Holtby in this game, and let Ai Phantom stand in the forward position, but before the game, there was an injury problem with Escudero, and Fuchs was placed on the right side, which made Magath have to use Holtby again, and before the opening, he also deliberately explained that Holtby was used as a needle in the front court.

But it's easier said than done, Holtby's style of play has gradually been finalized, although he is very the field, he still seems to have more than enough strength, the most important thing is that Holtby's speed is slow, but he uses his own physical strength to run to fill this problem, but the lack of explosiveness is also an indisputable fact, but the problem is that both Mata and Ai Huan are fast and amazing, so this position makes him very uncomfortable to play, and it is precisely because of his performance that Schalke's midfield once again has a disjointed problem, and even a threatening attack did not appear in the first ten minutes。

This made Magath very dissatisfied, he kept frowning tightly, he couldn't help but look at his bench, fortunately, Schalke is much better now than last season, and there is also a lot of talent on the bench, there will definitely be no one to replace, but who should be replaced? This is a question.

Draxler: He's good, but he's always been trained as a playmaker midfielder, and it's problematic to ask him to do that now, because his explosiveness is only half a pound or two compared to Holter. The rest of the people are all young people, and none of them are the best candidates to play in this position, do they really need to use him?

Joaquín has always been a typical Spanish winger, he can use his speed as his best means of penetrating, but the question is that this player who has always been strong in attack and weak in defense is a bit chicken, can he really change himself and integrate into the team?

Just when Magath hesitated, there was a sudden change on the field, a mistake by Holtby was cut off by the opponent, and then a quick counterattack was launched on the spot, and the football was passed directly to the backfield. Schalke 04's defender was immediately offside, but Metzelder suddenly fell to the ground without warning as he ran forward, and then rolled on the ground in pain holding his thigh. The Cologne players did not stop the game, Yayallo broke through and transferred the ball to Petsko, who chose to cross in front of the goal in front of Zhang Chong's attack, Zhang Chong was helpless in the face of four opposing players, and Podolski, who received the football, shot into the empty goalkeeper to make the score 0-1.

Podolski looked so excited after his goal that he ran straight to the East Stand to celebrate with his supporters above, while the Schalke fans erupted in loud boos.

"Is there any sportsmanship in this, seeing that we have players injured but still not stopping attacking, is this kind of goal really that heavy?" Deepp couldn't help but curse "None of our players are responsible for this goal, it's only because of Metzeld's injury that caused this situation, I just want to swear." ”

Several Schalke players on the field surrounded the referee to distinguish that there was a problem with the goal just now, but the referee had no choice, it was not a foul, so he had no possibility of blowing the whistle, and there was no technical problem with the ball.

And Ai Fan ran to Metzelde's side, he squatted on the ground to help Metzelder take off his shin guards and shoes and socks, only to see that Metzelde's ankle was already swollen and high, at this time the team doctor also ran up, and after a simple treatment, he changed direction to signal that he was going to make a substitution.

Magath didn't expect that his side was still a little uncertain, and there was already a forced substitution on his side, and it seemed that Metzeld's injury was not light, and this situation also made him a little confused, and after a little hesitation, he turned around and shouted, "Joaquin, you are ready to play." ”

Joaquin was also stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Magath wanted to do on the field, and immediately frowned, "Boss, do you want me to go up and play as a central defender?"

"I want you to come on and activate the midfielder, you take Holtby's place, and let Ai Huan go to the back line first. Magath quickly explained his plan again.

Joaquin immediately understood what Magath meant, and immediately nodded and said, "Boss, don't worry, I know what you mean." ”

After a brief period of confusion, Schalke re-stabilized, with Iran moving on to the back line and Holtby returning to his familiar forward position, with Joaquin effectively replacing Holtby.

Schalke immediately pushed forward as soon as the game resumed, with Fuchs crossing from the right and Juan Mata firing wide from the edge of the box. However, Schalke's midfield still did not have an immediate effect, after all, Joaquin also needs time to adjust himself.

Cologne also took the opportunity to immediately counter-attack, Podolski dribbled the ball down the left flank at high speed, but he never completely got rid of Krishitto's entanglement, he saw that he could not turn and pushed it to Hihi, whose cross was directly pushed out of the box by Ai Huan.

In the 27th minute, Ai Huan launched a long ball from the backfield, Mata passed the football into the box with Joaquin's cooperation, but Demba Ba's goalmouth tackle did not hit the ball. In the 35th minute, Yayalo was brought down by Gunduoan in the front, and the direct free kick he sent was saved by Zhang Chong, who reacted quickly, and the next corner kick was also pushed by Ai Huan and then held firmly in Zhang Chong's arms.

At this time, Joaquin gradually began to familiarize himself with his position, and he gradually strung up the midfield to let Schalke slowly start to control the situation, but now Ai Huan is pressed to the backline, which also makes Schalke's attack a little problematic.

This also made Magath's face more and more ugly, he knew that he had to make another substitution, and only by freeing Ai Huan as soon as possible could he play the result he wanted.
