Chapter 139: The Trumpet is Blown

139 sounded the trumpet

Zhang Yuan's lonely hands crossed his hips, standing in place and regretting, if his header ability could be better, this goal would never be an own assist but a successful clearance.

After Zhang Yuan came abroad, he found that he needed to improve too much, he didn't have much time to practice headball, and he spent a lot less effort on it than other projects, and now he finally devoured the bitter fruit, in such an important game, he was really depressed and regretful!

Goalkeeper Neuer rarely lost his temper, the reason is naturally because Zhang Yuan is his good buddy, and Zhang Yuan has always performed very well in the first half, but what to say about this ball, the luck is too bad.

"Alright, buddy, don't be depressed! The game isn't over yet, we still have a chance! It is better to blame yourself for the past than to look forward to the future! Instead, Neuer came over to comfort his good brother.

"yes, man, we haven't lost yet!" Jones, the tough guy on defense, came over and comforted Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, rubbed his face with his hands as if he was washing his face, and said to the two of them: "I'm fine, it's just that I always regret making mistakes in such an important game!" But I'm not going to be affected by this goal, I'm still me, wait for my performance! ”

Zhang Yuan is very confident that after the first half, he has basically figured out some characteristics of the Hamburg team's defenders and the operation of the Hamburg team's defensive system, and he is confident that he will tear through the opponent's defense.

It is not only Schalke 04's teammates who are worried about Zhang Yuan, but also Anna who is far away in the United States, as well as her sister and brother-in-law who are far away in China, as well as many fans who like Zhang Yuan, as well as the two commentators of the sports station, Duan Xuan and Tao Wei.

Naturally, the sports station would broadcast the heavyweight game, and Hamburg's lead at the start of the first half caused both commentators to worry about the prospects of Schalke 04.

Don't look at them as if they are quite neutral in the commentary, in fact, the meaning revealed in and out of the words is to support Zhang Yuan and support Schalke 04,.

Now that the end of the first half is approaching, Zhang Yuan's own goal assist gave Hamburg a two-goal lead, and Schalke 04 is facing a really difficult situation now.

"Alas, Zhang Yuan sent an own goal assist to Kompany! I hope this oolong assist will have a greater impact on Zhang Yuan! Duan Xuan was worried about Zhang Yuan.

"There must be an impact, Zhang Yuan is young after all, and he will definitely be annoyed if he makes a mistake in such an important game! It's going to be halftime soon, I hope he can take a break and adjust his mentality as soon as possible, in fact, two goals are not much, Schalke 04 strength is there, and there is still hope for an equalizer! Tao Wei said.

But he said that there was hope for an equaliser, and it was only an equalizer, and even the equalizer could be felt from his tone that it was not easy.

Hamburg scored the goal as the first half was almost at an end and the remaining minutes were dominated by a battle in midfield, with the referee blowing the whistle for the end of the first half after three minutes of stoppage time, with Schalke 04 trailing Hamburg by two goals.

Entering the locker room, Buskens opened his mouth to scold, "Are you worthy of our fans?" Is it worthy of this jersey? ”

"Are you here for a tour? Is the football field a place for you to walk? That's where you fought, there were trenches, and there were enemy bunkers to uproot! ”

Everyone lowered their heads and listened to Buskens' roar, the first half was terrible.

"Now I will arrange the tactics for the second half, I will state one thing in advance, whoever doesn't want to play, who wants to get off the field, tell me immediately, I can clearly tell you that you can get out, get out of here!"

No one spoke.

"Good! That's that no one wants to quit this game! The first is to run more, and in the second half you have to run like a mad dog, and I don't want to see anyone walking! ”

"Second, I need midfield to control the situation, Albert is down, Ivan is on!" It was a midfield change, with Streit, who couldn't control the situation, coming off and Rakitic, who had recovered from injury, coming on.

"Third, return to the 433 formation, Zhang Yuan, I need your breakthrough on the left side, and I will give you freedom in the position on the field, you can lean on the middle! Kevin is going to be a nail in the back line of Hamburg, do a good job of the fulcrum, Haril, you try to get to Kevin's side on the right side, I need a second point! This is a requirement for the front line, and Buskens did not look down on Zhang Yuan because of Zhang Yuan's own goal, although he was really angry at the time and kicked the mineral water on the sidelines.

Obviously, in the second half, he pinned his hopes on Zhang Yuan's breakthrough, Zhang Yuan's breakthrough in the first half was 4 times, and the success rate was 100%, De Jong, Medel, and Boateng were the victims, and Zhang Yuan would make more individual breakthroughs in the second half, of course, there were selective breakthroughs, Buskens did not let him play alone to the end, but hoped that Zhang Yuan's breakthrough would tear apart the opponent's defense, or attract defense to create opportunities for the middle, Zhang Yuan understood what it meant.

"Fourth, I hope there will be no more mistakes in the backline, Heiko will rest, Christian will play, in the second half I hope that both sides can be inserted to give offensive support, the back line will try to go to the front, and create offsides against the opponent's attack, now we have no choice!"

Buskens no longer intends to continue the stalemate with Hamburg in the second half like in the first half, he needs the team's perfect attack, and indeed Schalke 04 is two goals behind, there is no need to stay strong, he must attack.

Hamburg, on the other hand, Stevens was happy with the current situation, and the players entered the dressing room, and he praised everyone's performance in the first half, and sometimes it is much better to praise in such an important game than to tell a thousand words, and everyone has long understood the importance of this game and will not take it lightly.

In the second half, Stevens found that Schalke 04 made two substitution adjustments, Westerman, who was not strong in assists, went down, Pandel played, Stenet, who performed averagely, and Rakitic, who recovered from injury, Stevenston understood that Schalke 04 was going to attack, and he could also understand Schalke 04's situation, but he was not afraid at all, the formation he sent today actually required a high degree of freedom in the frontcourt, and the backcourt defense was piled up with heavy troops, judging from the effect of the first half, it was not bad, Although Zhang Yuan is capable, he can't rely on him alone, and he doesn't have an advantage in his own forbidden area, Schalke 04.

Zhang Yuan returned to the position of left winger, and faced Boateng directly again, Boateng is more than a year older than Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan used his speed to break through him once in the first half, and now he is full of energy waiting for Zhang Yuan on this side, wanting revenge.

As he wished, soon the opportunity came, in the 49th minute, Rakitic passed the ball to Zhang Yuan in the middle, Zhang Yuan took the ball to Boateng's side, Boateng is relatively tall, the speed is average, in the face of Zhang Yuan, he first lowered his center of gravity, and his heart was inclined to Zhang Yuan's bottom, he had an abacus in his heart, and De Jong was in the middle to assist in the defense, Zhang Yuan was followed by Demer, Zhang Yuan's only way out was to cut inside, so Boateng made up his mind to block Zhang Yuan's bottom route.

Zhang Yuan faced Boateng and stepped on a few bicycles in a row, but he didn't shake Boateng's center of gravity, he also underestimated Boateng too much, Boateng was prepared, not to mention, although he was tall, his body balance was very good, and this little method was useless to him.

Kulanyi was running in the penalty area, and this time Zhang Yuan was running, he did not run to the center of the penalty area, but ran to Zhang Yuan's side, trying to meet Zhang Yuan, and it was Reinhardt who was close to Kuranyi.

Kuranyi started to run slowly, when he reached the right side of the Hamburg team's penalty area, he suddenly turned to the baseline to run, and Zhang Yuan just stepped on the bicycle while always aiming at his teammate's running position, when he saw Kuranyi coming to answer, he passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area near the bottom line.

Boateng saw Zhang Yuan's pass, rushed to the bottom line first, and broke the ball in the position, but unfortunately he was wrong, Zhang Yuan did not go down to the bottom but ran from his other side to the penalty area.

Kuranyi and Zhang Yuan formed a tacit understanding at this moment, and Kuranyi didn't care whether Zhang Yuan could be in place or not, and directly used the arch of his foot to make it back to Zhang Yuan, fortunately, Reinhardt, who was sticking to him behind, didn't touch the ball.

De Jong, who has been assisting in the defense, also launched, and directly crashed into Zhang Yuan, his idea was to use a reasonable collision to squeeze Zhang Yuan away, but Zhang Yuan was very dexterous, seeing De Jong menacing, he alertly stabbed the ball with his right foot, flashed back to avoid De Jong, and then rushed up to get the ball with an arrow step.

De Jong pounced, but it wasn't meaningless, he delayed Zhang Yuan's lateral dribbling, and Mathieson had already made up for it.

Zhang Yuan kicked at his feet, raised his speed to the extreme, and touched the ball before Mattheison cleared the siege, this time it was a rush shot, and he shot before Mattheison kicked out, and shot at the upper corner of the hamburg gate, with great power!

The ball went straight into the net, and Rost's half-squatting posture did not change, the speed was too fast, and he couldn't react at all.

Schalke 04 relied on Zhang Yuan's goal to get back a point, Zhang Yuan didn't celebrate, rushed to the net to pick up the ball and ran to the middle circle, and other teammates saw Zhang Yuan like this, and they all ran to their own half.

Zhang Yuan yelled at his teammates who were running together: "Made, the second half has only started, we still have a chance to win, we will definitely win!" ”

This is the clarion call for a counterattack, the players of Schalke 04 were infected by Zhang Yuan's move, yes, there are still more than 40 minutes, we can win, we will definitely be able to do it!

All the players didn't wait for the Hamburg team to return to the center circle, everyone was already in their own half, and in the second half we had to show Schalke 04 that he was a fighter, not a lamb, not an egg!

The goal just now was between the lightning and the flint, the cooperation between Kuranyi and Zhang Yuan was perfect, and the Hamburg team's defensive strength has tried their best, but sometimes trying their best does not mean that they can really prevent Schalke 04's every attack to death.
