Chapter 718: Criticism
On March 3, the Bundesliga continued to begin, this time Schalke at home to Freiburg. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Due to the suppression of Bayern in the last game, Magath is very trapped, and the whole of Europe is counting his mistakes, and even the kicker magazine, which has always spoken for Schalke, believes that Schalke's dependence on Ai Phantom has reached a frightening point, and it is clear that Magath is doing poorly.
But there are not many people who disagree with this game, because their opponents are too weak, and they also suffered a heavy defeat in the last round, so the outside world still thinks that Schalke should be able to win, but the question is whether such a victory can cover up the dependence on Ai Huan? After this game, they will welcome the terrifying Barcelona, who dares to say that they can win without Ai Huan?
Since Freiburg's 1-4 defeat to Stuttgart in the last round, the two forwards Yandrishek and Santini were abandoned, and Freiss was at the front in this game, Schmid returned to the midfield, and Hinkel played as the left gate.
Magath also made changes in order to save time for the next game, with Farfan, Fuchs and Metzelder all not playing, while Pukki, Joaquin, Holterby and Matip replaced the absentees.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Schalke was very sluggish in this game, and the whole team seemed to be sleepwalking. In the eighteenth minute, Freis and Rosenthal passed the ball with consecutive headers on the right rib, and the top of the Froome penalty area was lightly plugged on the right side, and Freiss crossed Hildebrand in an offside position and shot into the empty goal from a small angle 7 meters away on the right side, turning the score into 1-0.
In the 65th minute, Schmid burst into the right side of the penalty area and was tripped by Matip to win a penalty, and Caligiuri fired into the bottom left corner, and the score had become 2-0.
Fortunately, in the final moments of the game, Mata finally played his game, and on the 71st minute he passed through from the right, and Pukki went straight into the right side of the box and fired a powerful low right-footed shot into the net from a tight angle to make it 1-2. Less than two minutes later, it was Juan Mata who beat two defenders in quick succession at the edge of the penalty area before striking a powerful shot to equalise.
However, in the 79th minute, Matip recklessly knocked down Reissinger and turned two yellows and one red, and he was banned for the next game, and Schalke also stopped the pace of the counter-attack, and they finally kept it 2-2 until the end.
After this game, the criticism became more and more violent, and the whole of Europe was saying that Schalke was a pseudo-strong team, not only had they been torn off the undefeated halo, but now they could not even deal with a group of old and weak soldiers, and this kind of team would inevitably become a shame. In fact, after two games, their lead has changed from 17 points to 12 points, but the super lead of four games still gives them a temporary worry in the league standings, but the problem is that no one knows what will come next.
At this time, Ai Huan is not in the mood to care about them at all, and he is now preparing for the match against Saudi Arabia on March 4. After the last game, Uribe was also criticized by many so-called experts, there are not many people who play in China, but there are countless people who know the ball, they will find the fragments they need from any game, and then draw a jaw-dropping conclusion, not to mention that the Chinese Olympic Games did not play well in the last game.
Although Uribe's criticism of Magath has come true, he does not feel comfortable at all, because he also understands that his last formation was a complete disaster. Originally, he hoped that the Chinese team's midfielder would control the game, and then use his own set of edge tactics to keep passing the ball to the middle, and then cause the opponent to collapse, but in fact, they did not show the control of the midfield throughout the game, and they did not even create any chances.
Although the score on the surface is a shocking 6-0, but that is almost Ai Huan alone, not so much that the Chinese team won, but rather that Ai Huan himself won, he scored three goals and assisted two, only one penalty was not made by him, but it also has a lot to do with him, while others are simply like headless flies kicking around, without the existence of Ai Huan, he doesn't even dare to imagine what kind of situation this team will have.
So he had to make a change in this game, and that's what he did. He made adjustments in the starting lineup, although it was still 4-2-3-1, but Ai Huan has been pushed to the position of the main striker, and then Zhou Tong, who likes to shoot very much in the last game, was directly won by him, such a player will obviously destroy the tactics on the field, so he sent Zhang Xizhe, and he used Chen Zhichao for the forward position, which is also the best person in the Chinese team now. He also made adjustments to the back waist, Mei Fang replaced Zhang Jiaqi, although Zhang Jiaqi has many advantages, he also has a fatal flaw in monofilament, that is, he likes to waste opportunities too much.
The main thing is that he can't do what Uribe asks him to be, and Uribe hopes that he can take on the role of a metronome, but the results are too obvious. Lu Peng is not that kind of player, he will only keep running, although this is very much Uribe liked, but everyone knows that it is just a player who does dirty work, and he must not be the backbone of the field.
The back line has not changed much, and this is where Uribe is most assured.
Saudi Arabia used to be the big man in Asian football, but they have fallen rapidly over the years, because the country's young people have become less and less interested in football and focus on more interesting spending, which has also weakened the country's football foundation too much, and the result is naturally like this.
In the last game, they were cleanly beaten by the Koreans to a 3-0, and they didn't have a temper at all, so the outside world didn't look down on them at all in this game, everyone's idea was very simple, even if the overall strength of the Chinese Olympic team was not good, but as long as there was an Ai Huan, then it would be enough to kill them, and the Saudis had no ability to block Ai Huan, which everyone knows.
The pre-match draw confirmed that China became the home team, so today they wore a brand new red jersey, which has become an irreplaceable home jersey for the Chinese team since the national team won the Asian Cup championship in the red jersey.
And when Ai Huan walked out with the captain's armband, he immediately became the focus of attention, which is also the first time Ai Huan became the captain of the Chinese Olympic Games, and this seems to be the situation that many people have long wanted to see, Asian Footballer is not the captain, who is the captain?
