Chapter 212: 10,000 Reasons to Be Reluctant
With the referee's whistle, the game began, Schalke 04 was aggressive after coming on the field, as if to eat Hannover 96, firmly suppressing the opponent in the half, but they did not have many ways to attack, Farfan was seen to death, Gao Jun's breakthrough ability is not as much as Farfan, Schalke 04 can only play according to the time when Kuranyi is the master, crosses, high balls, but today Kuranyi is obviously not in the state, and the top has not been able to compete for others. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two coaches on the sidelines are not too calm, Magath is a little depressed that Zhang Yuan is not there, Schalke 04's ground attack efficiency is too low, the two central defenders of Hannover 96 are not low, the shortcomings of the single striker tactics are here, the winger is difficult to pull the opponent's defense line without adduction, and Kuranyi's state can't even be qualified.
If it's a powerful center, that's a different story!
Slomka is also very anxious, such a long-term suppression in his own half is not a solution, he made up his mind to play defensive counterattack today, but he didn't expect Schalke 04 to be so strong in the opening game.
Slomka's solution is very simple, to treat others in the same way, isn't Schalke 04 a good use of foul tactics? Hannover 96 did the same today, and began to use foul tactics frequently to block Schalke 04's offensive rhythm.
The consequence of this is that Schalke 04 has more set-pieces, which is not a big deal, Slomka has expected it, and he focused on training set-piece defense in training, and Schalke 04 did not get any bargain from this.
In the 17th minute, Hannover, who had been beaten, unexpectedly took the lead, Elson made a long pass on the left side of the midfield, Westman and Hevedes failed to make an offside position, Schmidbach was inserted into the right side of the penalty area for offside, and the ball hit the left leg of Westerman, who was back on the back, and refracted into the lower right corner, Neuer was caught off guard, 1-0.
Ho, Schalke 04, who took the initiative, is behind!
Magath's mouth began to chant again, and Zhang Yuan sat on the bench and heard it clearly.
"Bastard! idiot!" the words already revealed Magath's extreme displeasure.
Hannover 96, on the other hand, was elated, and Slomka waved his fist.
It was a crucial goal that greatly boosted Hannover 96's confidence, and the players will have more trust in Slomka's tactics and will be more resolute and thorough in execution.
Two minutes later, Hannover 96 won a corner, and after Elson took a corner, Schmitz accidentally handballed the ball when clearing the corner.
The players of Hannover 96 appealed to the referee, but the referee did not award a penalty, and Schalke 04 escaped.
Slomka, who was on the sidelines, was extremely unhappy with the decision, and the 2-0 score was obviously easier for Hannover 96 to hold on to the victory.
The referee showed him a yellow card.
Zhang Yuan sat on the bench and didn't see clearly whether there was handball, and it is estimated that the referee did not see it clearly, Schalke 04 was very lucky.
Judging from the field, Hannover 96 has been the main defense and Schalke 04 has been the main attack, but in terms of people, the players of Schalke 04 are not in very good shape, maybe the previous reversal really changed the mentality of the players, everyone is a little relaxed, Magath wanted to stop but couldn't stop.
In the 28th minute, Hannover 96 counterattacked, Schmidbach just crossed the halfway line and crossed over the top, Ya Konan grabbed the ball before Schmitz and then pushed it 18 meters out on the left front side of the penalty area, the ball passed between the legs of the blind Neuer and into the net, Hannover led 2-0 incredibly!
Captain Neuer also made a mistake at such a critical time, it was unimaginable, Zhang Yuan sat on the bench and watched everything in the stadium, his head was confused, and a ball did not wake up the players of Schalke 04 at all.
Bayern Munich will face Bayer Leverkusen later today, and Magath is absolutely unwilling to see Schalke 04 drop the chain, and this is when he made a bold decision.
Replaced Matip with Edu, Matip actually performed okay today, not bad, but Magath wants to attack and defend now?
Schalke 04's two midfielders Kruger and Rakitic have a certain defensive ability, Kruger is more balanced, and Rakitic has a stronger offensive organization, such a combination is clearly not intended to be a midfield defense but to attack.
Gao Jun and Farfan both took it back and played on either side of the midfield, but they were still playing as a winger at Magath's behest.
Edu and Kuranyi form a double striker.
Saying that Schalke 04's current formation of 424 is more like a little bit, Magath is obviously a little anxious, he is much calmer than the players, and everything is fake if the championship does not arrive at the moment.
However, this adjustment did not bring immediate effect to Schalke 04, under the constant urging of Magath, they were doing the same thing as before, taking a high ball cross, Kuranyi's form was very poor, and there was no way to make a ball for Edu at two points.
At the end of the first half, the score was still two goals ahead of the home team Hannover 96, and Magath returned to the dressing room in a frustrated manner.
"To put it simply, I don't know what you're kicking! Your performance really humiliates me! It's a shame for him!"
A group of players were silent, many people were blaming themselves, what happened to the team today, it was rare to take the initiative, but I didn't expect to play like this!
Zhang Yuan couldn't wait to stand up and say to Magat at this time, let me go!
Fortunately, before he had this impulse, Magath naturally ordered his troops.
"Zhang Yuan, you replace Kevin in the second half, Rafael, you replace Carlos in the second half! I need to attack on the ground in the second half, Zhang Yuan, you are flexible in the front of the penalty area, I want you to make a bold breakthrough after you come on the field!" Magath made a substitution adjustment, leaving no back road at all, and directly used up all three substitutions.
Kuranyi was out of form and he was substituted, he had nothing to say, but that was true of Sambrano, whose tragedy is that a lot of players have become a panacea under Magath, he is a centre-back himself, and now he is a panacea at the back.
As a result, there were some aspects of quality that did not improve, such as passing, and his crosses in the first half were really flattering, and it was a matter of course to replace him.
Less than 1 minute into the second half, Raphinha, who resolutely assisted, took the ball to the midfield and passed directly, Zhang Yuan knocked the ball diagonally to the right side for the first time with his back to the goal, and Edu was brought into the right side of the penalty area 13 meters outside to Fromlowitz and hit the far corner with his left foot, 1-2.
The three who came off the bench did a wonderful job of combining it in a minute.
This is not the end, Zhang Yuan is a stirring stick after he comes on the field, he dribbles well, he is not blindly carrying the ball in the penalty area, where the defense is very dense, he has little space to move, he is avoiding the players of Hannover 96 on the periphery to dribble the ball, it looks like useless work, but in fact, Hannover 96's defense on his side has to move with him, and it is very difficult for him to defend alone, many times he can attract three or four Hannover 96 defenders alone, and then he chooses the opportunity to pass the ball, which brings a lot of trouble to Hannover 96。
Slomka had no choice but to call his players to take it back, move closer to the penalty area and give way to the wings.
In the 50th minute, Zhang Yuan took the ball on the periphery again, Hannover 96 two players came up to attack, he gave the ball to Gao Jun on the right side, Gao Jun took the ball and did not stop the ball directly a pick-up pass, Zhang Yuan quickly inserted it into the penalty area, Gao Jun's pick pass was similar to the cooperation with Zhang Yuan in the national team, but this ball was a little too side, Zhang Yuan did not stop the ball, rushed up and forcibly pressed Ejiman's header to attack the goal, a hanging shot.
The ball made a graceful curve, successfully passed Frommlovitz and hoisted into the net, Egilman was not low, but there was nothing Ejman could do in Zhang Yuan's earlier decision.
Zhang Yuan did not celebrate after the goal to show respect for Slomka, this goal did not knock Hannover 96 into the abyss, but at least it wiped out the advantage that Hannover 96 had previously established, and 1 point was too little for them.
Magath waved his fist fiercely on the sidelines, watching Zhang Yuan's performance of passing and shooting, to be honest, he loved and hated in his heart, he would not change himself for Zhang Yuan, change his way of thinking about building a team, but Zhang Yuan's performance really gave him 10,000 reasons to be reluctant.
