With the referee's whistle, the first half ended, Schalke 04 temporarily drew away from home, and it is not too much to say that Villarreal created more chances than Schalke 04. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Schalke 04 In addition to Farfan's chance, there was also a long-range shot from Asamoah, which flew out of the goalpost.

However, judging from the data, Schalke 04's shots are not lagging behind, similar to Villarreal, Schalke 04 completed 6 shots on goal, Villarreal completed 8 shots.

Schalke 04 also did not fall below in possession, 48% to 52%, with Villarreal having a slight advantage.

Manuel Pellegrini was unhappy with the result but had nothing to do, he was still missing a Diego Forlan, and he felt a little lucky to finish second last season.

In the away dressing room, Buskens and Mulder are setting up tactics, and the two of them now have almost no control over the dressing room, and they will naturally listen to them if they can listen to them, and they are helpless if they can't.

When Buskens first arrived in the team, the contradictions at the top of Schalke 04 were not so blatant, but later the contradictions at the top intensified, and they could no longer be covered within the team, and the players had different ideas, so they naturally didn't care about Buskens's "bold words"!

You two are just acting managers, and nine times out of ten you won't be in this position at the end of the season, who will be afraid of you, some players in the team think like that.

Buskens and Mulder's tactics in the second half mainly require the team to do their best to hand the ball to Zhang Yuan's feet, and Schalke 04's possession in the first half was mostly in their own half, because the opponent in the front court was very strong against Zhang Yuan, and they rarely passed the ball to Zhang Yuan.

After Senna was on the occasion once, he understood that it was definitely a wrong choice for him to go single-handedly against Zhang Yuan, and he took the initiative to ask his midfield teammates to form a joint defense in the area, and when Schalke 04 controlled the ball, he mainly intercepted the opponent's pass, and did not rush to grab it.

It is precisely because of this adjustment that Schalke 04 can have so much possession, but it is still difficult to pass to the front.

The ginger is still old and spicy, and Senna has to be admired!

"Zhang Yuan is very dead by them, and it is difficult for us to pass it to his feet!" Rakitic raised his own question, which was not a challenge to authority, but a question about his own practical problems on the field.

"Zhang Yuan will run more flexibly in the second half, don't be afraid of being intercepted, just pass the ball out! Zhang Yuan gets the ball, and he will organize the attack! Ivan, Gerrard, Jefferson, the three of you must cooperate with the running position in the front court, so that Zhang Yuan can have a point to play!"

"Orlando, Jermaine, I don't want you to step forward in the second half, I need you to put all your energy into defense!" Buskens continued.

In the face of strong offensive pressure from the opponent, Buskens had to separate the offense and defense in the second half, with six men concentrating on defense and leaving the offense entirely to four men to play freely.

Jones nodded fiercely, he is the kind of person who listens to the head coach, no matter who the head coach is, he listens, and it can be seen from the interview during the winter break that this fierce defender is actually very professional, and he has to be worthy of his salary with his salary.

Engral also listens to the manager, he wants to stay, the Eredivisie is definitely better than the Bundesliga, the income is higher, the stage is bigger, why not work hard!

So in fact, Engraar has been working the field, and after Luten left, he worked even harder, and his performance was average, and it was a matter of strength, and the team's tactics were not his attitude.

The two sides returned to the pitch, and at the beginning of the second half, Villarreal did not need to make any adjustments in a situation like Villarreal, and the lack of leadership could only be blamed on the team's poor ability to seize opportunities, and Pellegrini did not want to make substitution adjustments for the time being, and the scorer also sat on the bench with a Nihat.

Nihat was also in Real Sociedad in those years, and his performance in his first season at Villarreal was still good, but this season was immediately in no form, more weird than ghost novels, and Kuranyi's state is really a match, so far Nihat has played 16 times on all fronts, and the goals are zero!

Zero is too much of an unspeakable number, on the contrary, Llorente and Rossi on the field are a little more trustworthy.

Villarreal has always responded to all changes, but Schalke 04 has changed, and Pellegrini clearly feels that Schalke 04's frontcourt attack is very casual, and Engelar and Jones can't even do it in the middle circle, so they defend their own half.

As soon as they do this, Villarreal's ability to create chances has dropped significantly, and even if the opponent's defender adds one, the defensive area formed is not calculated according to one person defending, and Villarreal has more possession, but it is much more difficult to create threats.

Seeing that this will definitely not work, Pellegrini waved his hand and got on the veteran Pire in the 60th minute, Pire is now old, and he must no longer be able to gallop on the wing as he used to, and certainly not be an important scoring point under Wenger as he did at Arsenal.

However, Pire's passing and playmaking skills have continued to improve with age and experience.

On Pire, replace Augulen, and play 442 instead, Pire and Cazorla are separated on both sides, Pire has the ability to create opportunities to organize attacks, and Cazorla has speed and dribbling, which can be used as a winger.

Ibagasa and Senna in the middle can pass and organize the ball, and Rossi on the forward line has good skills and can hold the ball.

Villarreal's style of play will no longer revolve around the middle, but a combination of the side and the center, so far Pellegrini has fully figured out Schalke 04's style of play, and the three midfielders in the previous game have conservative ideas, so at this time he has come up with his own offensive means, vowing to take the lead in the two-legged game.

Manuel Pellegrini's tweaks are true to his nickname, "Chilean Engineer", first to build a solid foundation, and then slowly figure it out.

But Zhang Yuan didn't let him get his wish, Zhang Yuan has been observing Senna, he has retreated a lot in this game, and the direct opponent is not the two central defenders Fuentes and Bruno, but mainly against Senna.

Senna's style of play is not at all like the Brazilians, Brazilians often like to stick to the ball, like the feeling of the ball at their feet, but Senna is not, he plays more European, direct and simple, almost not sticky to the ball when he gets the ball, intercept and steal and pass, or to Ibargasa, or pass back, or divide the wing.

It's too difficult to find loopholes in such an old fritter, but it's not nothing, after Pellegrini changed the formation, Senna took the initiative to change, and Ibargasa was too difficult to organize alone under the pressure of Schalke 04 three midfielders, so Senna took the initiative to take on part of the organizational work.

This forced him to keep the ball under his feet for a little longer, he is not a god, he has no head and no live map, where to play, it is essential to observe the movement of his teammates, and finding gaps is indispensable.

Anyone who plays professional football knows that the coach is most disgusted by the player playing with his head down, but requires the players to watch and listen to the ball with their eyes and ears.

Even breakthrough players and coaches will demand this, and the playmaker will of course play with his head held high.

In fact, many of the ghostly passes, not that the defenders do not know, but after the organizer passes the ball, the teammates tacit run, the opponent is difficult to resist the impact of teammates, on the football field, once the speed rises, the defenders are congenitally at a disadvantage.

The offensive player's running speed comes together, the passing power speed is in place, and the defender will be half a beat slower than the attacking player even if he sees the direction of the pass first, which is the tacit advantage of the passer and the receiver.

In the 68th minute, Senna finally made a mistake, and this mistake is strictly to blame teammate Fuentes, when Senna held the ball, faced the opponent's dense middle, and did not pass the ball out for a long time, Fuentes saw Zhang Yuan touch from behind Senna like a ghost.

"Watch out! Marcos!" Fuentes shouted, alerting Senna that there was someone behind him.

Senna immediately alerted Zhang Yuan, who was in front, must have come from behind him, the calm Senna actually panicked, he was very jealous of Zhang Yuan's speed, Zhang Yuan came from behind, he didn't know which direction, he made a mistake in his busyness, and casually passed the ball to Ibargasa in front.

The pass was wrong, Rakitic grabbed the ball in front of Ibargasa and intercepted it, and then plugged it straight away, and Zhang Yuan received the ball smoothly.

This time it was Schalke 04 who made a steal in the front court, and Asamoah and Farfan failed to keep up on the side, and Zhang Yuan could only do it alone.

After taking a few steps, there are still about 30 meters away from the gate, Zhang Yuan made a surprising decision, shooting, this is a sneak attack, Zhang Yuan himself is definitely not untargeted, he aimed at Diego López's position very high.

According to Zhang Yuan's habits, Diego López obviously doesn't think Zhang Yuan will choose to shoot from a distance, and what Pellegrini instills in everyone the most is that the arrow figure Zhang Yuan is very fast and dribbles very well, and he is careful to counterattack.

He didn't think he should step back a little in the goal, but Zhang shot from distance a few metres from the two centre-backs, Fuentes and Bruno.

The leaves on the outside of his instep were falling and looking high, and Diego López took two steps back, the ball was already so close that he could only try his best to flick it. (To be continued.) )
