In the second half, both sides did not make any adjustments to their tactics and lineups, with Slomka intending to wear up Porto's patience with a little more defensiveness, while Porto tried to continue to attack to see if they could break Schalke 04's goal.

15 minutes after the break, Schalke 04's players seemed to be resurrected again, the midfielder was desperately pressing, Porto couldn't control the ball, and the two sides were deadlocked in the midfield, which was the intention of the two managers, but is it true?

Slomca was happy to see it happen, but Ferreira didn't want it, he wanted Porto to keep the ball, but Porto couldn't.

Schalke 04 controlled the ball and changed the way of fighting in the first half, more controlling the ball at his feet, passing the air without a chance forward, not giving up the ball easily, instead of the previous half, holding the ball must attack Porto's penalty area.

Seeing this situation, Ferreira kept telling his players from the sidelines to strengthen their running positions and counter-attack on the spot, so that Schalke 04 could not control the ball smoothly.

Schalke 04 is not a team that is good at ball control, and the pass success rate is still not too high under Porto's pressing, but Schalke 04's players also use their physical advantages to maneuver with Porto, and the two sides are indeed very close.

The game looked a little boring like this, He Wei said with a smile: "The current situation on the field is a bit lethargic!" Schalke 04 didn't seem to plan to score another goal after scoring a goal, and spent the main energy on defense! What about Porto, now the control in the midfield is gone, Schalke 04 is very fierce, and Porto can also control the ball! ”

"It's a bit of a stalemate right now, Porto is very inactive on both wings, Quaresma and Farias don't have the support of the midfield, and there is nothing they can do. Schalke 04 Zhang Yuan and Asamoah have recovered a lot, the purpose should be to help the midfielder control the ball, not to lose the ball easily, not to let Porto control the ball This should be the main purpose of Schalke 04, once Porto plays a short pass to penetrate, forming a suppression of the Schalke 04 penalty area, it is very likely to create goals. Don't think that Porto suppressed in the first half and failed to create goals, not in the second half, but it is possible in the second half, after all, the physical strength of both sides declined in the second half, and the execution of tactics may not be so perfect! ”

Tao Wei has a point, but there is no sign of fitness decline on either side.

Raiola sat in Schalke 04's box for this game, and he was not alone in this box, but also Schalke 04's manager Muller.

Raiola came to Schalke, the main purpose was to come over to see Zhang Yuan in person, and naturally he would also learn about Zhang Yuan's training with Schalke 04 Club, so Muller invited Raiola to watch the game.

When Zhang Yuan was introduced, Schalke 04 itself had a buyout clause of 4 million euros, and now only in the past few games, Muller has almost determined that Zhang Yuan Schalke 04 has to win, but the key question is whether it can be won is in the player, and Muller also hopes that the agent can blow the wind in Zhang Yuan's ears.

Zhang Yuan's performance so far has been remarkable, Raiola has seen his improvement, the previous Zhang Yuan was basically only suitable for defensive counter-attacking tactics, because of his fast speed and strong dribbling ability, once he was given a chance to counterattack, it would be fatal. But now Zhang Yuan is different, Inter Milan and Schalke 04 are not teams that play defensive counterattacks, the core of Inter Milan is to play the middle, and the two sides mainly rely on the 45-degree oblique pass of the fullback, while Schalke 04 is used to using the impact of the two wings, using crosses to create a threat, and the middle is assisted. Although the playing style and tactics of the two teams are not absolute, but everyone is mainly positional warfare, which must require the players to be able to pass, Zhang Yuan's progress is to be able to pass, and he has not yet reached the peak, but Zhang Yuan can be expected to see Zhang Yuan in the future.

From time to time, Muller praised Zhang Yuan in front of Raiola, Raiola understands, but how long is it time to talk about a buyout?

And Raiola has not thought about Zhang Yuan's future yet, if Zhang Yuan can continue to perform well in the Bundesliga, it is one way to return to Inter Milan, and it is also one way to continue to stay in Schalke 04, and it is still one way to other teams that can play.

At present, why bother with Schalke 04, not to mention that Raiola also understands that the Bundesliga team can not give much salary to young people, why Ozil left Schalke 04, in the final analysis, it is not because of money. As an agent, Raiola has to think about his players, and he is not interested in Muller's ecstasy soup at all.

In the 70th minute of the game, there were no substitutions on both sides, Ferreira thought that the score of 1:0 was not unacceptable, and Slomka thought that Schalke was now executing his tactical intentions well, and fitness was of course a problem, but it was not yet at the point, and the players had no signs of physical decline.

Zhang Yuan fought very hard in the second half, mainly not only to retreat to meet the midfield, but also to help the midfielder to defend, the physical exertion is very great, now it is only more than 70 minutes, he feels that his lungs are about to explode, but he is still gritting his teeth and insisting, he is eager for a goal, this is his motivation.

In the 71st minute, Ferreira made personnel adjustments, he replaced Farias with Seketioyu, which was a counterpoint substitution, Farias's performance in this game was average, Ferreira just wanted to change someone to try, Sekedioyu was better than Farias in terms of team cooperation.

With a fresh force, Sekedioyu did a good job of dropping back and Porto were in control for the time being, but they still had the same problem of not being able to penetrate the Schalke 04 penalty area and they didn't have an advantage with their headers.

Schalke 04 was forced to return to the defensive posture, and in the 80th minute of the game, Schalke 04's players showed signs of declining physical fitness, and Slomca had to make a substitution, and he replaced Rakitic, who had a large range of running in the game with Grosmuller, who was the hub of the midfield, and faced Porto's attack, the pressure on both the defensive and offensive ends was great, so the running was very active and the physical strength was almost exhausted.

In the 84th minute, Slomka replaced Asamoah with Altentop Jr. and Kuranyi with Sanchez, he transferred Zhang Yuan to the center forward position, and gave Zhang Yuan clear instructions, telling Zhang Yuan to retreat a little deeper and attract the opposing defenders, and the team is now going to play a defensive counterattack.

Slomka used up the three substitutions, just don't change Zhang Yuan, he doesn't know that Zhang Yuan's physical strength has been used up like Rakitic, he just insists on the field, but he still doesn't want to, and now Porto has returned to the same pressure as in the first half, this is a good opportunity to counterattack, Zhang Yuan only needs one chance, and no one else has Zhang Yuan's speed, breakthrough, and shooting ability.

According to the coach's arrangement, Zhang Yuan is now on the field with a leisurely stroll to describe it is more appropriate, he as a center forward does not care whether he returns to the defense or not, he slowly walks on the field again, trying to take a breath to recover a little physical strength, when the counterattack opportunity arises, he has the strength to create a threat.

In the 89th minute, Schalke 04 finally ushered in the opportunity to counterattack, Porto pressed too high during this time, which is completely inconsistent with Ferreira's tactical arrangement, but there is no way Schalke 04 shrunk badly, the two wingers Altentop Jr. and Sanchez are not so much wingers, but two wingers, Schalke 04's formation is now like 451, Porto can only press hard in this situation, after all, they are behind, and the players also want to equalize and strive for an away goal.

It is this situation that created this counterattack opportunity, Quaresma and Gonzalez went forward to the penalty area after a two-one, but Jones was able to let him pass, relying on his strong body to stand in a position, Quaresma hit Jones, and fell to the ground as soon as he made contact, he sat on the ground and reached out to referee Duhamel to take a penalty, but Duhamel ignored him and signaled him to stand up, at this time the ball was held by Westerman, Westman looked at the gap on the right side, and passed directly to Altentop Jr., and a group of players in Porto came back to their senses, Altentop Jr. unloaded the ball with his feet, Porto's central defender Emmanuel forced over, Altentop Jr. did not try to pass, although he was very physical, he passed the ball to Zhang Yuan, who responded, Zhang Yuan followed by Alves, he wanted to pull Zhang Yuan down, but as soon as Zhang Yuan started, he paid attention to the situation of the Quaresma incident, and he was inattentive, and immediately fell behind one position, and it was too late to catch it.

Zhang Yuan sideways to meet the ball outside the instep forward, with his best to run forward, now he has completely gotten rid of Alves, other Porto players are farther away from him, sprinting with the ball, getting closer and closer to the penalty area, Elton will not sit on the goal line, can only abandon the goal, lower his body, try his best to block Zhang Yuan's shooting route, but Zhang Yuan estimated the distance, rubbed the ball with his feet, this is a hanging shot outside the penalty area, Elton has come out, turn around and want to catch the ball, but his speed is still a little slower, The ball inevitably went into the Porto goal.

Schalke 04 led the opponent 2:0, Zhang Yuan, who scored the goal, really had no strength, and he didn't even kneel in the corner kick area to celebrate, just stood in place and raised his hands high, won, and also had the advantage of two goals.

The teammates rushed over, and the players on the bench also rushed over, if he didn't consider his identity, maybe Slomka would also rush over, he bet right, he only needed one chance, and with good luck, Zhang Yuan could seize it.

The fans in the stands fell into a frenzy, the voice of "Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan" was very uniform, and the on-site commentator also said in a timely manner, "It is the No. 16 lightning boy Zhang Yuan who scored for us, let us cheer his name together, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan"
