Chapter 595: A Little Twist and Turn (I)
But I don't know if it's because Schalke is relaxed as a whole, or because of some other reason, Schalke as a whole began to relax, and their attack was no longer aggressive, but a little lazy, which also gave Wolfsburg some opportunities, and their offensive became more and more fierce. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the 33rd minute, Wolfsburg launched a quick counterattack, their direct pass directly over the midfield to the feet of Schaefer, who had assisted to the front, Schaefer passed the ball to Yongsong on the left, and the latter crossed to Mandzukic on the left, the Croatian shook his head before Fuchs broke the goal, at this time Krischito was out of position, and Hovides jumped up to stop the shot, but his jump just affected Zhang Chong's vision, the football flew into the net between the gaps between the two people, the score was dressed up as 1-1, Wolfsburg fans immediately burst into cheers, this is Schalke Their coordinated attack is also very exciting。
However, Schalke's players still seemed to be a little listless, and the goal did not attract their attention, so after the kick-off again, there was another mistake, and Gundogan in the midfield made a mistake, and the football was cut off and passed to his backfield again. Tresch and Makoto Hasebe combined to get a quick past Högel and then cross the ball, but the ball was immediately lifted over the crossbar by the well-prepared Zhang Chong. Wolfsburg took a corner, and Cristo took the lead to push the ball off the line for another corner.
After another corner, Ai Huan, who had already returned to the backline, cut the ball off and quickly handed it to Juan Mata in front. This time, though, Mata didn't make the breakthrough and he just charged before he fell on his own, feeling like he was on the line.
Ai Huan also frowned, wondering in his heart what was wrong with his team, how could it be as if the whole team was out of shape today? But he couldn't say anything on the field, so he had to return to the back line to participate in the defense, which also made Schalke's somewhat chaotic back line become orderly.
However, Schalke seemed to be running out of power today, and the state of the whole team became very sluggish, which is not a problem that can be solved by Ai Huan, which also made Magath who was sitting on the bench frown tightly. Before this game, he had already felt that some of his players were a little out of shape because of the national team, but in order to win this game smoothly, he still did not change the lineup easily, and now it seems that he was careless, and he immediately began to think about the tactical changes in the second half, if this continues, it is not a good way.
However, while he was on his mind, Gundogan made another mistake when a foul at the back caused Wolfsburg to win a free-kick in front of his side. Schaefer hit the goal with a heavy shot outside the penalty area, just rubbed by his teammate Mandzukic in the penalty area, the ball changed direction and flew into the Shakhtars' goal, Zhang Chong could only look at the ball and sigh and watch the football roll into the goal, and the score became 1-2.
This time the Wolfsburg fans were completely crazy, they sang the Wolfsburg war song in the stands, for a while the wolf howl filled the stadium, it seemed very feeling, Schalke's players couldn't believe their eyes, who would have thought that this originally simple game would have become like this.
At halftime, before Magath had a seizure, Ai Huan was furious, and he asked loudly in the lounge, "What's wrong with you? Why are you all listless today?"
In Schalke, Ai Huan's prestige is still very great, and he usually doesn't lose his temper so much, but once he gets angry, no one dares to say anything nonsense at this time, and they all bow their heads and dare not look at him, only Raul feels a little too much, so he explains for his teammates, "Everyone is playing in their national team, and all of them are important games, and no one dares to relax, in fact, everyone has not rested for the past ten days, plus the journey is tiring, who can maintain their best condition?"
"Oh. Ai Huan also understood this reason, after all, this is the reality, and he was not so angry immediately, frowning and saying, "Then we can't play like this, if that's the case, we will be hanging in this game." ”
At this time, Magath happened to walk in, and when he saw that the atmosphere in the room was so solemn, he knew that he couldn't sing blackface, so he said in a soothing tone, "I didn't think about this game well, it was a bit careless, we have to make adjustments immediately in the second half, and we must not let this kind of scene continue." As he spoke, he immediately went to the front of the tactics board and drew on it.
Magath made a change at the beginning of the second half, Ai Huan was pushed up front, Farfan was pulled into the midfield, he did not have the national team game to play in good form, and Mata was replaced by Holtby, he stood behind Ai Huan to organize. Joaquin was also replaced by Draxler, which was also to give Gundogan an an assistant, and the back line was not because he didn't want to make adjustments, but because there was really no one to adjust, he had to continue to appoint, but he deliberately told Ai Huan not to easily return to the backfield to defend, his task is to attack with all his might.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, Schalke immediately seemed to be a different team, and their tactical counterattack was extremely ferocious. In the 49th minute, Fuchs quickly crossed the halfway line and then passed the ball diagonally to Farfan on the other side, and the Chilean got the ball and shook off the right side of the opposing defender's pass, but this pass did not go into the box as he imagined, but was hooked by the opposing defender and kicked the football out of the box.
But at this time, Holtby has caught up quickly, he did not shoot directly and vigorously, but lightly picked up the football, directly into the penalty area, Raul quickly from the opponent's backline, he first made a shot feint, and then pushed the football to the other side, this action is very hidden immediately deceived the opponent's goalkeeper and defenders, they actually collided together, and instantly the opponent's gate became an undefended place.
At this time, Ai Huan had already killed in front of the football, and before the football hit the ground, he volleyed, and the football flew into the opponent's goal very obediently. Although Hitz had quickly stood up and made a save, he really couldn't do anything in the face of Ai Huan's powerful volley, and just fell to the ground again.
The equaliser was levelled at the start of the second half, which left Schalke's players full of confidence, and Ai Fan raised his arms to the sky after the goal.
