Chapter 213: A basin of cold water
Schalke 04 chased two goals in a row to equalize, Hannover 96's players were demoralized, and they looked a little flustered for a few minutes after the restart, Schalke 04 began to make frequent killings with this time, but unfortunately there were two excellent opportunities that could not be grasped, and Zhang Yuan wasted one of the points to shoot, his foot part was not accurate, and the ball was directly put into the anti-aircraft gun under the interference of Ejiman.

The fans at the scene gave him a "friendly" boo.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Slomka made two substitutions in a row, Balic replaced Schmidbach and Shahed replaced Koné, and he kept shouting at the players on the field.
"Hold your breath, calm down, pay attention to defense!"
Amid his shouts and the cheers of the fans, Hannover 96 gradually regained its footing.
Seeing Zhang Yuan's frequent ball to the side, Slomka pulled the formation a little more, Schalke 04 used less side cross tactics after Zhang Yuan came on the field, but their several attacks were launched from the side, Slomka felt that he couldn't let Schalke 04 do this, and he also changed his marking of Zhang Yuan, and no longer used two or three people to force.
You like to dribble on the perimeter, so let you take the perimeter, our defensive formation is not easy to move, it is enough for one person to top you.
Such tactical adjustments are useful, many times a breakthrough striker like Zhang Yuan needs confidence the most, Zhang Yuan tried to move around in the penalty area, but it was unsuccessful, so he was not very confident that he could play in the penalty area today, and it was a helpless idea to go to the periphery at the beginning.
Now that Slomka is doing this, Zhang Yuan himself is not very confident in entering the penalty area, so the threat of Schalke 04 has decreased a lot, and he can no longer get an easier opportunity.
Magath saw that the situation couldn't be opened, and he felt that Zhang Yuan was not good at this time, you are now a single arrow, and the breakthrough is not effective, you have to pick up your other skills, especially running.
Kuranyi is in a bad state and can't run, you can go up and run.
Through the words passed on by his teammates, Zhang Yuan turned into a running striker again, and running is not his strong point but now it is also a weakness.
The two sides have reached a new equilibrium, Hannover 96 executed Slomka's tactics very resolutely, defending and counterattacking!
Schalke 04 was able to suppress Hannover 96's possession after getting off Matip, but the opponent got a lot of counter-attacking opportunities.
They also created a threat in front of the Schalke 04 goal, but Schalke 04 had the advantage, but the passes on the side and the pass in the middle were frequently intercepted by the iron wall of Hannover 96, and they did not pose much of a threat to the opponent's goal.
Magath is powerless on such a scene, all three substitutions have been used up, and there is no room for any more personnel adjustments, while Schalke 04 will not give up possession.
Besides, Hannover 96 oil is very, Schalke 04 gave up the ball, they were not in a hurry to fall in the backfield, not too willing to step forward to play positional battles, it seems that it is acceptable to take a point, Schalke 04 grabbed too much on them, they went directly to the front of the big foot, the ball handed, this style of play is very strange, but to the greatest extent to maintain the stability of the defensive system.
The resolute Hannover 96 finally reaped the results in the 80th minute, Schalke 04 in the front attack of Rakitic's pass was broken, Hannover 96 played a beautiful counterattack again, Shahed received the ball from Balic and broke through the cross on the right side, Balic stopped the ball 16 meters away in the middle and then half-turned and volleyed with his right foot straight to the upper left corner, 3 to 2!
That's what he did!Slomka shook his fist fiercely, the game was very difficult, and his proud disciple almost pushed himself into the abyss, but his boys were very good and powerful, and in this game they completely executed their tactical ideas, and finally took the lead again.
He also had a mistake in strategy in this game, such as Zhang Yuan's marking, he didn't know Zhang Yuan's thoughts at all, but he was afraid of Zhang Yuan's power and asked his players to pinch Zhang Yuan, but instead liberated Schalke 04's other points and gave Schalke 04 a chance to equalize.
Not to mention the Schalke 04 players on the field, even Magath off the field lost confidence at this time, for no other reason, Hannover 96's defense is too stubborn, he can do everything, the players are not in good shape, Farfan's breakthrough power has dropped a lot compared to before, and it is not possible to rely on a single Zhang Yuan in front.
Immediately afterwards, Slommka made another substitution adjustment, replacing Elson with Dutchman Brooking, which was a counterpoint substitution, playing for more than 80 minutes, Elson actually had a heavy defensive task, a large running distance, and his physical fitness had declined, and Slomka planned to replace a new force and still maintain the strength of defense and counterattack.
Schalke 04 players lose confidence is one thing, the situation they show is another, the scene they play very lively, around Hannover 96 bombardment indiscriminately, there is a lot of Loulan will not be returned, but Hannover 96 is like a rock by the sea, the wind and rain hit me and did not move.
In the second minute of stoppage time, Hannover 96 once again played a desperate counterattack, substitute Brookgold made a direct pass from the backfield, Ya Conan was offside and the ball passed Neuer, who rushed out of the penalty area, and then brought it to the right side 18 meters away and shot into the empty goal, 4-2.
The game is over at this time, Schalke 04 has no strength to turn the tables, Zhang Yuan is also passable on the field, unwilling to lose but helpless, blame only the strength.
I'm afraid no other team will give their opponents as many counter-attacking opportunities as Schalke 04, which only proves that they are not a good enough team.
Magath said after the game: "It's a basin of cold water, poured on our heads solidly, cold and biting, I hope the lads can wake up, the championship is not so easy to get, there are four rounds to come, we really can't be careless!"
The mood of losing the game is not very happy, Zhang Yuan can feel it when he asks for leave with Magat, Magath doesn't want to agree, because Zhang Yuan's reason for taking leave is ridiculous, in order to get together with the opponent's coach.
As soon as I heard the reason for this truth, Magath was upset, not to mention that we just lost to our opponent, just say that I am fucking standing in front of you, have you been alone with me?!
It's right to let you go, you're in Cao Ying's heart is in Han! Magat finally agreed, anyway, you have to go, you can be as happy as you like.
Zhang Yuan and Slomka's special relationship Schalke 04 knows a lot, and everyone is not surprised that Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yuan did not return to Schalke 04 with the team, Neuer even wants to go, he was also pulled up by Slomka, but think about Magath or forget it.
When he saw Slomka in the evening, Slomka smiled and said: "It's not easy to take a leave of absence today, right? I can imagine that Mr. Magath must be full of displeasure! He was quite dissatisfied with your performance at the post-match press conference today! You are no exception!"
Zhang Yuan is not at all dissatisfied with Magath at the press conference, generally speaking, this person is strong but also straight, and he will be angry if he is unhappy, but what does it mean to be dissatisfied with me, I still contributed a pass and a shot to help the team equalize.
"Me?" Zhang Yuan pointed to his nose.
"Well, he thinks you're not clever enough to run!" Slomka said bluntly, he didn't mean to say anything bad about Magat, but because Zhang Yuan was not mixed with Schalke 04 after all, the reason is that he also knew that he was not so compatible with Magat, and he thought that what Magath said was also the truth, and he could be regarded as saying it through Magat's mouth to give Zhang Yuan some advice.
After listening to Slomka's relay, Zhang Yuan fell silent, this is not nonsense, he recalled his running position on the field, there were indeed some problems.
To be honest, he has seen a lot of top center forwards run before, but in actual operation, he improved very quickly in this area last year, because Lu Teng and others used him as a single striker, and to be a single striker, you have to learn to run, and if you don't know how to run, you can't just break through.
The position of the second striker that Magath gave him this year actually requires him to run, and in the first half due to his personal reasons, he was more active in the style of play, and he was ready in the second half, but Magath intentionally or unintentionally let go of his freedom because of the requirements for results.
As a result, his improvement in the running position has been as outstanding but by no means as outstanding as last season, rather than what Eichkorn said about him, and he felt that he had improved a lot. (To be continued.) )
