The three of them walked and chatted back to the locker room, where Buskens and Mulder were already waiting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"You did a great job in the first half, don't worry about scoring goals, don't get discouraged, it's not a big deal!" Buskens praised the performance of his players, the more he didn't want to put them on the pitch with the pressure to score.

"You also know that we played very hard in the first half, they defended very tenaciously and we couldn't get a goal! In the second half I think we have to change our strategy, and the continuous attack is also very physical drain on us! In the second half, I hope you can make a change in possession, don't blindly move forward, we should strengthen the possession in the middle and back, attract the opposing players, and tear away their current defensive system! Otherwise, everyone knows that once they play defensively, it will be difficult for us to score!"

Buskens' approach is to demand that his team reduce their attacking intensity and start playing with possession instead, and he believes Ten Carter's side are definitely not a safe team, as the first three games of the group stage have demonstrated.

Panathinaikos, no matter who they are playing against, attacking or their theme, are just passive at times and they have to retrench their defense.

In the second half, once Schalke 04's attack momentum waned, Buskens and Mulder both believed that Ten Carter would definitely not be able to sit still and let Panathinaikos take the initiative.

After the start of the second half, Schalke 04 continued to attack, which is one of the tactical arrangements in the midfield, after halftime, the tight string on the Panathinaikos defense will naturally loosen, and it is difficult to say whether it can be stretched up quickly after restarting, so at the beginning of the second half, Schalke 04 still has to attack wildly to see if it can score a goal at the beginning.

But unfortunately, Panathinaikos is still tenacious and defensively excellent, and Ten Carter faced up to the gap between the two sides at half-time and made up his mind that he had to defend first, and one point is perfectly acceptable for Panathinaikos.

Ten Carter believes that Schalke 04 will never be able to maintain the same attacking intensity in the second half as in the first half, everyone is playing twice a week, and the players of Schalke 04 will definitely not be able to maintain after their physical strength drops, and that is when Panathinaikos will have the opportunity to attack.

Ten Carter's prediction is correct, regardless of whether Buskens will make such adjustments in the midfield, Schalke 04's attack will be weakened in the second half, Schalke 04 is not very good on the whole, but now to control the ball, then the players can only run more space, the more they run, the more physical energy is consumed.

Zhang Yuan's style of play as a center is particularly physically demanding, first, he has to retreat to respond, increasing his running distance, second, he has to break through with the ball, and short-distance emergency stop sprints are very physically demanding, and third, as a center forward, he must also go to the penalty area to directly confront the opponent's defender when necessary, which is also very physical.

Once the physical fitness declines, Zhang Yuan's role will decline a lot, which is inevitable.

The fast attack failed, and Schalke 04 began to follow the tactics of Buskens, and began to frequently reverse feet in the midfield and backfield, and seemed to be very satisfied with a point.

Ten Carter finally couldn't sit still, because his team didn't hit the counter-attack today, because of the lack of counter-attacking speed, there were a few chances, but they wasted themselves.

Now that Schalke 04 is recycled, he chose to take the risk and attack out, and if he doesn't give Schalke 04 a little color, his team is completely enjoying the treatment of sick cats.

Soon he paid the price, in the 68th minute, Schalke 04 got a counterattack opportunity, after Rakitic got Jones's steal, straight to Altentop Jr., Altentop Jr. did not waste a second, and the diagonal line was plugged into the middle.

Zhang Yuan started, the small central defender Simang is only 20 years old this year, and his speed is also a relatively fast player, but his speed is still worse than Zhang Yuan, and he is not very experienced.

Zhang Yuan easily got a single chance, facing the attacking goalkeeper Galinovic, Zhang Yuan calmly pushed the far corner, and the ball went in without suspense!

Schalke 04, playing at home, bombarded Panathinaikos, but the goal came from a counter-attack, which was a bit of a comedy.

The fans at the scene shouted and cheered, the decibels were very high, and the three of them were so excited that they stood up and applauded Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan ran to the corner kick area as usual, kneeling to celebrate, and this time he stood up and made a celebration posture with ingenuity, "Bolt-style" celebration, this celebration posture was first done by Bolt, and now it has been learned by Zhang Yuan, and he used this in this celebration.

The fans at the scene cheered again, and the most reliable scorer this season was Zhang Yuan, who deserved to be the popular king among Schalke 04 fans.

Hugging his teammates one by one, the first to come was Altentop Jr., who has not played much this season, and he has only played a little more since Buskens came on the stage, and this assist will undoubtedly further increase the coach's impression points.

"Thank you, Hariel!"

"Haha, beautiful goal, Zhang Yuan!"

Buskens clenched his fists and exclaimed sehrgut!

With a one-goal lead, the next step is much easier, and whether Panathinaikos attacks or continues to defend, Schalke 04 has the initiative.

Corresponding to it is Ten Carter, his face is terrible, he feels that he has been fooled, of course, the biggest culprit is on the young central defender Simao, why didn't this ball foul?!

So he yelled at the players on the field, and the Panathinaikos players were also depressed, just when the situation improved a little, they were knocked on the stick by the opponent, and they were a little depressed.

Ten Carter's solution is to attack the opponent, and now the game time has reached 70 minutes, more than 20 minutes before the end of the friend, it is not long, it is not short, he can only choose to attack, because zero points are meaningless.

Panathinaikos is not a weak team, it can only be said that the strength is a little worse than Schalke 04, and when the whole line is really attacked, Schalke 04 feels the pressure.

Why did Panathinaikos not attack with all his strength at the beginning, Tengkart's policy at the beginning was to stabilize and wait for an opportunity to attack, so as soon as the opening was suppressed, Tengkat did not choose a risky style of play that pressed on all fronts, but now the situation is different, Panathinaikos has to attack.

However, even if Schalke 04 felt the pressure, but after all, the strength was still higher than the opponent, a ball in hand, unable to successfully penetrate the front, Schalke 04 continued to control the ball, try to control the ball at his feet, kill time.

By the 80th minute, Schalke 04's players on the field began to slow down, and Panathinaikos' attack gradually became a threat.

With a big wave of his hand, Buskens replaced Rakitic and replaced Ngraar, played three defensive midfielders, withdrew Zhang Yuan to the forward position, and now is playing a strikerless formation.

On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the strength of the defense, and on the other hand, the ball must be controlled to reduce the opponent's possession time.

Zhang Yuan really can't be regarded as a striker now, Rakitic is off the field, Schalke 04 is basically in a passive state, this passive state does not mean that Panathinaikos is very aggressive, Schalke 04 is completely in a state of resistance, but Schalke 04 has a serious decline in ball possession, Zhang Yuan must not fill the gap of Rakitic, frequent reception, passing.

He's tired too, but he's gritting his teeth and persevering, and he understands that Buskens doesn't replace him in the hope that he can play a key role in the counter-attack.

Zhang Yuan is also very slippery, now sometimes the ball is at his feet, he has strong ball control, it is difficult for the opponent to grab his ball alone, if the opponent collides with him, he immediately grinned and fell to the ground.

Although he usually disdains to use this method to delay time, he really can't help it, the opponent fouls once, and dozens of seconds have passed, and his physical strength is exhausted, so he can only make this decision.

Time passed minute by minute, the score on the field was still 1:0, Panathinaikos's fouls had increased a lot, Zhang Yuan was violated the most, and there was no way to tell him to delay time, which annoyed the opponent.

At the end of stoppage time, Panathinaikos still had nothing to do with Schalke 04, and Schalke 04 did not organize any decent attack in the final stage, but 1:0 was not bad, and finally won the opponent and achieved a difficult first win in the Champions League group stage. (To be continued.) )
