Chapter 132: The Perfect Half
Faced with such a situation, Zhang Yuan quickly made a decision to go it alone, this kind of thing used to be done in Rimini, he was criticized by Mancini at Inter Milan, and when he arrived at Schalke 04 Slomka, he wanted him to pay attention to the timing of going alone, and he also reduced the number of times he passed others.
Soon such an opportunity to get the ball came, in the 41st minute Stenet passed, Zhang Yuan ran to the upper right corner of the Cottbus penalty area to receive the ball, he was followed by the opponent's right-back Angelov, Zhang Yuan pretended to pass horizontally to Kulanyi who was targeted by Mitresky, Angelov stretched out his foot to block Zhang Yuan's passing route.
But Zhang Yuan did not pass but at the moment when Angelov stretched his foot, the ball passed under Angelov's leg through the crotch, Zhang Yuan bypassed Angelov and went straight to the penalty area, Kovitanovic came to make up for the defense, Rost also followed behind, Zhang Yuan took the ball to face Kovitanovic head-on, he didn't know what to do next with this ball, because it was true that the opponent's defense was too tight, and Rost would definitely grab it next time.
Kovitanovic stood up with his hands behind his back to prevent Zhang Yuan from passing, Zhang Yuan had no choice now, he chose to suddenly change to the bottom again, and break through Kovitanovic head-on, he felt that he was not sure.
Zhang Yuan's change to the bottom this time was very sudden, although Kovitanovic prevented him from going down, but after all, the start was not as fast as Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan went down to the ground directly when he was about to go out of the bottom line and swept the ball back into the small penalty area.
The ball rushed quickly to the small penalty area, Kuranyi grabbed the point, and Mitreski who followed Kuranyi was also grabbing the point to try to clear the siege, the two stretched out their legs, but the ball Kuranyi did not touch, Mitreski who exceeded Kuranyi touched, but he touched his own goal, Tremel knelt, the ball got into the net through his small goal, and Mitreski scored an own goal.
Mitreski was depressed, he had hooked his foot in this ball, but he was a little slower to grab it, and the soles of his feet were really good at tackling the ball, if he had taken a quick step with the instep or his legs, maybe there would not have been such a mistake.
Kuranyi got up and happily ran to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan saw the ball in and got up from the grass outside the bottom line, this is obviously not the result he wants, this foot pass has no goal at all, it is completely forced to pass him to pass, sweeping to the middle Of course, he also has a mind, hoping that Kuranyi can grab the point, fortunately Kuranyi grabbed the point and blocked the ball into the goal.
"Well done, Kevin!" Zhang Yuan and Kuranyi high-fived.
"Haha, you made a beautiful pass, it wasn't me, it was an own goal from them!" Kuranyi laughed, his mouth saying this, but on the whole he still thought he had a great credit.
Breaking the ice, the players of Schalke 04 were all smiling and relieved, although everyone knew from Kuranyi that the goal was an own goal of the other party, but it did not affect everyone's happy mood at all, the own goal was also a goal, in short, we were ahead.
The big screen at the scene really hit this goalscorer, the unlucky guy Mitresky!
The fans of Schalke 04 applauded, I don't know if it was for Zhang Yuan, Kuranyi or the hapless Mitresky?!
Buskens jumped up and hugged Mulder tightly, to be honest, even if he is the acting manager, but he is under a lot of pressure, the club's top management chose you, of course, it is a great trust in him, and he is also an old minister of Schalke 04, hoping that his team can qualify for the Champions League, if he can win this game to make a good start to the acting manager's career in the future, it is wonderful.
Opposite Schalke 04's side is Cartbus coach Prashnica's face is pale, he has always been a stern manager, yelling at the field, "What are you eating?
The goal finally put the mentality of the Schalke 04 players on the right track, and with little time left in the first half, Buskens asked the team to slow down the tempo again and temporarily stabilize the one-goal advantage, and the Schalke 04 players began to play possession tactics on the field.
Maybe it was the own goal just now that had a bad impact on Mitresky, in the 46th minute, Schalke 04 scored again, Zhang Yuan and Streiter successfully made a one-two cooperation on the left side, shook off Angelov, cut the cross, Kuranyi in Dasilva and Mitresky's close marking, still forced Mitreski to head through the door of Ketbus, this time it was not an own, but it hurt more than an own.
Hoffmann held his son, and his son held Schalke 04's scarf, waving vigorously, 2:0, Schalke 04 took a two-goal advantage, and the surrounding fans sang and danced in the stands, excited, well, the last time two goals were scored at home was back in the game against Duisburg on March 15.
The on-site commentator happily commented: "Goalscorer Kevin Kuranyi, Kevin, Kevin......" The fans shouted "Kevin, Kevin ......" along with the commentator.
Kuranyi hugged Zhang Yuan tightly, and this time he lived up to Zhang Yuan's pass, and gave full play to his role as a battering ram.
After the restart, the referee soon blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the Cottage players walked off the field dejectedly, Schalke 04 swept away the haze of the previous game, everyone finally had a smile, some of the fans in the stands were still singing, some had already taken out the prepared food to eat, and some fans didn't have time to eat dinner in order to watch the game.
Hoffman handed his son a hamburger, "Eat, eat! boy, you have to eat the second half before you have the strength to shout!"
"Daddy, can you stop lifting me in the second half, my head is going to dizzy!" the son's little face showed a pleading expression.
Well, in the first half, I was so carried away that I lifted my son up and shook it around, Hoffman was funny when he thought of this, "Boy, Daddy is afraid that you won't be able to see it, don't know what to do!"
"I can see it, I can see Zhang, he's amazing!" said his son excitedly.
"Haha, do you want to meet him?"
"Is that okay?"
"Of course, I'm Zhang's chauffeur!" Hoffman bragged in front of his son.
"That's great, can you take me to him tomorrow?"
"Oh, it's fine tomorrow, how about I pick you up after class and take him to the training base?"
"Oh yes, long live Daddy, long live Daddy......
"Haha, good boy, hurry up and eat, you have to shout with me later!"
In the home team's dressing room, Buskens high-fived and praised everyone on the field, smiling and praised: "Well done! guys!
Everyone laughed and agreed, and Buskenston paused for a moment and continued, "But we can't be too happy! Forty-five minutes to go! Guys, think about it, we still have several competitors, don't relax in the second half, I don't want the three points to be one or even zero! Understand?"
"Got it!" replied in unison, saying that winning the game was a common aspiration, not just for Buskens and Mulder.
"There's definitely only one way for Ivbus to go in the second half, and that's attacking! That's good for us, it means they're going to be less defensively in the second half, and I hope you can take your chances and seal the win early!" Buskens explained the tactical play of the second half.
"If they still don't make adjustments, the two wings Zhang Yuan and Halil will strengthen their breakthrough and run! Kevin will continue to put pressure on their defense at the front! Rafael and Christian, you two must be resolute in inserting assists, don't be afraid of being counterattacked by them! All three lines should be pressed forward as much as possible, I don't believe that I can't break their iron bucket formation!" Buskens said fiercely.
At the beginning of the second half, Plašnika made a substitution, and the unlucky Mitreski was replaced by Radjic, who is also a central defender from Croatia, and it was clear that Mitreski's performance made Plašnica very unhappy.
However, in terms of tactics, Prashknika still did not make any changes, he did not have many cards in his hand, and in the face of the strong strength of Schalke 04, he could not find too many ways to deal with it, and he still planned to keep it and see.
Schalke 04 began to attack again after the start of the second half, Zhang Yuan's side became the center of gravity, Pandel and Zhang Yuan, Streit's three formed a triangle pass pattern, Pandel leaned up more boldly under the signal of Buskens, which reduced the pressure on Zhang Yuan, he and Pandel, Streiter through the change of running position, constantly impacted the left side of Cartbus.
In this way, even with the help of midfielders and defenders, Angelov was completely unable to parry, and was frequently penetrated by Zhang Yuan's side. (To be continued.) )
