Chapter 154: Coquettish Characters
The two psychopaths simply asked Rakitic and Kuranyi not to stand there, and let Werder Bremen stand on the human wall by himself. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The referee soon blew the whistle, Raphinha stepped back a little more, and Zhang Yuan only retreated two or three steps away.
However, when Raphinha was retreating, Zhang Yuan said to him: "According to the original plan, you run faster, I want to play the time difference, you run the ball, I will shoot!"
Both men were right-footed, with Zhang Yuan sideways towards the ball, and Raphinha was slightly more upright and retreated wide.
Raphinha started to run, he skimmed over the ball like the wind, and at this time there was a problem with Werder Bremen's wall, some players could not jump without seeing the ball, and some started to jump in advance.
Shaking like this, Wiese's mind will inevitably be affected a little, it is this time difference, Raphinha has just passed the ball, Zhang Yuan took two steps and directly pumped it on the ball, and the ball went directly to the upper corner of Wiese's block.
When he reacted, Wiese was too late to reach out, and it felt like he had made a symbolic jump, and the ball hung in the dead corner.
Zhang Yuan's speed is not extreme, but the victory is tricky at the angle, and the time difference is very good, you must know that when he shoots, Raphinha skimmed the ball at most and just one step, and the two almost collided together.
"Wow......" Schalke 04 fans in the away seat screamed!
We're ahead! Everyone jumped and jumped in the stands, waving flags and posters in their hands! The Lightning Kid gave Schalke 04 the upper hand.
Wiese spread his hands to express his helplessness, Zhang Yuan and Raphinha's cooperation is seamless, it is a mistake to find you for a moment, and every goalkeeper may be defeated in such a psychological war.
Free kicks have the disadvantages of being close, but they also have advantages, once the goalkeeper is wrong, it is too late to save the ball.
What's more, Werder Bremen's wall jump just now did not form a tacit understanding, someone jumped, Wiese must pay attention to whether the ball will fly from the feet of the jumper, so such a goal is also a coincidence of many factors.
Zhang Yuan felt that the ball was there when he came out of his foot, because he felt that he had a good control of the power angle of the ball, and it really broke through the gate guarded by Wiese.
He hadn't scored in the league for more than a month, so he was also excited, rushed to the stands of the visiting fans, jumped high, and made a punch in the air to vent the bad luck of recent times.
Raphinha followed, "Hey, hey, we made it!"
"Yes, Raphael, your fake shot is too coquettish! It's unreasonable not to fool them!" Zhang Yuan grinned.
"Haha, you moved too fast! I almost got hit by you!" Raphinha and Zhang Yuan hugged tightly, and the other teammates surrounded Zhang Yuan to congratulate him.
"What a beautiful shot!" Schalke 04's assistant coach Eichkorn clenched his fists beside Magath.
"Werder Bremen's defense was deceived by them!" Magath shook his head with a smile, thinking about whether his team would be deceived in the face of such a free-kick scam?
If the goalkeeper only stares at the ball and does not make predictions in advance, then it is still difficult to score such a shot.
In any case, there is a certain element of luck, and the next time Zhang Yuan is in the same position, the possibility of missing the penalty is still very high, Werder Bremen's wall is very high, the two central defenders Mertesacker and Nardo are close to two meters tall, and a row of people stands at a position of 9 meters, making it difficult for free kickers of Juninho's level to bypass.
"According to Schaaf's personality, they won't be playing Tai Chi with us anymore!" said Eichkorn conclusively.
"That's not necessarily, it's still early! It's okay to play later! But let's see how they change with the ball in hand!" Magath shook his head, Shaaf today is not the same as in the past.
Schaaf's side are all about fluid, fast-paced attack, and Klopp is a bit like him in that regard, but today they played possession.
Mesut Ozil dropped back a lot in the midfield position and his role in the tandem was impeccable.
So Magath doesn't guess what Duschaf thinks with common sense.
Schaff does intend to continue to be careful, he takes into account the counter-attacking speed of Schalke 04, and it has to be said that Magath has insisted on using the youth combination of the midfield this season, resulting in Schalke 04 not having much advantage in midfield.
But because of this situation, they have developed another skill, which is to counterattack quickly, and there are many teams that have suffered in this move.
Today, Schalke 04 also has a big killer Zhang Yuan in the front court, this player is a very good combination of speed and the ball, once he counterattacks with the ball, it is simply an old birthday star hanged - I think his life is long.
Therefore, today's Schaaf prefers to choose another way of attacking, that is, to penetrate and easily not let his three lines get out of touch.
There's nothing wrong with him doing this, because he has Mesut Ozil under him, and not only does Ozil have the ability to pass through the space in quick attacks, but he also has such special skills even in positional battles, and the key is to see if the two strikers, Marin and Almeida, can do a good job of running.
With Marin on the front line, Schaff is not without the idea of penetration, Marin is a relatively thin player like Ozil, but he is flexible, full of aura, and can form a good tacit understanding with Ozil.
However, this kind of tactic, playing until the end of the first half 45 minutes did not have much effect, the reason, the reason is in the relatively thin bodies of these two, Schalke 04 side frequently relied on their bodies to stop Werder Bremen.
Not only for the two of them, Schalke 04 was fierce in the first half, and there were many fouls, reaching 14 times, while Werder Bremen only had 5 times.
If it weren't for Schalke 04's foul tactics, I'm afraid Schaff's tactics would have really worked.
In the away team's dressing room, Magath praised the players of Schalke 04, but he was still thanking one person in his heart, that is, the referee Kilche, who was merciful and always reluctant to have a yellow card in his pocket.
In the second half, Schaff will definitely have to adjust his tactics, especially on both sides, and he will definitely think about it.
Almeida is also a high striker, and his header is an advantage, but in the first half Werder Bremen used too few crosses for Almeida to be played.
If the penetration in the middle is stopped, the only option for the saff is to press the two wings, make more crosses, combine the middle and the middle, and activate the wings.
The disadvantages of this are obvious, and the full-backs are inserted, undoubtedly to leave a counterattack opportunity for Schalke 04's side, but Schaff estimates that there are no good options.
Magath's tactical arrangement is to continue to strengthen the half-court siege on his side, so that Werder Bremen's ground cooperation cannot play, and another point is to require Zhang Yuan and Farfan to do a quick counterattack after winning the ball.
He also explained to Kuranyi that in the second half, Werder Bremen's three lines must be pressed forward, and Kuranyi must do a good job of anti-offside and press on the opponent's last line of defense.
Soon the halftime was over, and at the beginning of the second half between the two sides, everyone did not make substitutions for the time being, and Werder Bremen basically had the strongest lineup, and Schalke 04 was similar.
I'm afraid it will take a while to adjust, after the opening Schaf's adjustment is as expected, the three lines no longer hesitate, boldly pressed, they have the upper hand, Schalke 04 is still fouled to stop the opponent.
After about 10 minutes, Werder Bremen still did not improve, and the legendary attack on the two wings was resisted by the midfielders of Schalke 04.
Schaff made his first substitution, bringing on Borowski for Jensen, who was a bit of a poor performer, with his position in midfield not only taking on the attacking task, but also limiting Fritz.
But his body is not as strong as Zhang Yuan, his speed is not as fast as Zhang Yuan, and his defensive ability is there, but in general, he is completely below in the confrontation with Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan's free kick in the first half, he was a little careless and careless, so that Zhang Yuan almost played a dragon.
Borowski is physically strong, and against Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan has to weigh whether he can resist it, and the battle for the top must not take advantage of him, and at this stage, Schalke 04 also happens to frequently use long passes, trying to play a quick attack, so that Zhang Yuan can roll over Yansen through physical advantages.
Jensen is gone, and it is estimated that the physical confrontation will not be effective against this trick!(To be continued.) )
