Chapter Ninety-Nine: Desperate Situation
This time, Zhang Yuan did not run to the corner area to celebrate, but grinned widely, and pointed his hands at Farfan, who was running towards him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Sixty percent of the credit for this goal should be attributed to Farfan, who was calm and witty, did not shoot at a small angle, but gave it to Zhang Yuan, who was in a better position, and let Zhang Yuan score this goal easily.
Falfan rushed over, jumped directly into Zhang Yuan's arms, raised his right hand and raised his arm and shouted.
"Jefferson, you're so beautiful!"
"You're doing a good job, man! I've got an assist!"
The fans were in a frenzy, and although the outcome is still unknown, after all, we have a better chance of qualifying.
Buskens was also in the stands today, and the changes in the first half were honestly a big blow to him, and it was difficult for him to understand when Schalke 04 became so psychologically fragile.
He knew that someone needed to stand up at the critical moment, and he had been looking forward to Zhang Yuan standing up to deal with it, Zhang Yuan lived up to his expectations and stood up in the 60th minute.
In the stands, he waved his fists excitedly, chanting Zhang Yuan's nickname "Lightning Boy!" like other fans.
Schalke 04's players because of this goal, the low morale finally picked up again, anyway, everyone saw the hope of qualifying, in their own home stadium was suppressed by Villarreal, there were even some boos among the fans, expressing dissatisfaction with the situation on the field, but in the end we still scored first.
"Okay! just do it!" Mulder blushed on the sidelines, waving his fists, Schalke 04 was in a passive state on the field, morale was low, it can be said that he didn't lose but was already cornered, this goal came too timely.
"That Chinese player, Zhang Yuan is very good!" Platini said to Schnusenberg, who was accompanying him.
"Mr. Platini, he's a gem for our team! a really good young man, not even 19 years old!" Schnutenberger said.
In fact, he doesn't care so much about whether the team is promoted or not, although the promotion is good, but this will also make Muller linger breathe, and if he does not advance, Muller is getting closer and closer to getting out, and he still chooses to hope that the team will be promoted.
Winter transfer, he and Peters, who hold the financial power, have repeatedly blocked Muller's transfer plan, and no money is the biggest reason for them to deal with Muller, is it reasonable? It is reasonable to say that Schalke 04 is actually a big investment in summer transfers, and it is normal to have no money in winter transfers.
But to say that Schalke 04 really has no money, it is impossible, as the third largest club in Germany, the big here refers to the large number of members, operating income, Schalke 04 has no background and no champions, but sponsorship match day income membership fees and so on, Schalke 04 is still rich.
The general operation of Bundesliga teams is to be budget-conscious, Schnusenberg said that there is no money to invest in winter transfers, not only can it be perfunctory to Muller, but even fans will not think that there is anything wrong with it, after all, more than 20 million were invested in the summer.
Zhang Yuan's contract renewal is mainly due to Muller's responsibility, and the renewal has not been moved, the reason is that Muller, Muller also has selfish intentions, when Raiola just proposed to renew the contract, Muller's attitude was positive, but then Schnusenberg and Peters studied endlessly, Muller understood that these two people were just going to make a stumbling block for themselves, okay, what about him, I'll get out, don't think about it! Muller didn't get the support of both of them, and then simply did nothing, shelved the renewal negotiations with Zhang Yuan, ignored it, Zhang Yuan was angry and went better, see how you play!
In fact, it is not surprising that the struggle at the top is so fierce, as is the case in many clubs, the private work of the top management is dirty, and there are many people who fill their pockets, which is like a political struggle, either you get out of the way or I get out, and it is not uncommon for each other to stumble together.
Schnusenberg looked at the smiling black-haired boy on the field, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
Good player, the first thing to do after getting rid of Muller is to renew the contract with Zhang Yuan and put the responsibility on Muller.
Without raising the intrigue between the layers, the game on the field has been restarted, Senna looked at Zhang Yuan a little speechless, saying that this kid is not strong, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a nemesis if he scored three goals in two rounds.
Let's say this kid is great, but he is also very ordinary in terms of headers or other times when he doesn't score, and the special thing is that he has a very good combination of man and ball, speed and dribbling, but this kid has not been very good in two rounds.
Senna really can't understand how Zhang Yuan, this kid, can score three goals?!
If Senna looked at the stats of the opposing players after the game, he found that he had overlooked something.
Zhang Yuan's shooting accuracy was surprisingly high in those two games, with only three shots on goal in the last game, but two were on target, one of which converted into a goal.
And this guy is even more amazing in this game, so far he still has three shots on goal, but there are already two goals.
This shows that Zhang Yuan's ability to grasp opportunities is getting higher and higher, and Zhang Yuan may not be aware of his provision in this regard, but the data does not lie.
Mulder stood on the sidelines and signaled that his central midfield needed to be compressed, and the counter-attack scored a goal, and Farfan was now back on the wing to help his team-mates defend.
Capdevilla's pressure did put Westermann under a lot of pressure, but Villarreal rarely chose to cross, Nihart and Rossi were not good at headers, and Digan and Bolton were more tough in header defense, and the two small bodies suffered a lot from headers in front of them.
Capdevilla was mostly a playmaker on the wing, opening up Schalke 04's defensive width.
As the minutes ticked by, 10 minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and with around 20 minutes left in the game, Manuel Pellegrini still couldn't see any hope of scoring.
Schalke 04's players looked united and the defence was difficult to overcome, with Villarreal having to shoot from beyond the box on a regular basis, with far results far from the box to great effect.
At this time, Pellegrini decisively chose to make substitutions, replacing Nihat with Llorente and Pire for Egulen, and changing the tactical play to a combination of crosses and central penetration.
He had no choice but to do so, and after 70 minutes, both sides were in a state of reduced fitness, and Llorente could have gone and attacked the opposition's defence.
Mulder has no one to change, and now he needs to defend, and the players on the field are in just the right state defensively, so he doesn't need to adjust.
Llorente still caused problems for Schalke 04 when he came on the field, he was full of energy, his heading ability was also very good, and he was not dominant in height, but Bolton was returning from injury, and his physical condition was not so good, and the game was at this stage, and the old captain was a little unable to keep up with Llorente's pace.
Bolton Wanderers and Llorente were both below the charts, and although they did not pose any substantial threat to Schalke's 04 goal, it was a big question mark whether they could hold the rest of the game if they continued like this.
Coach Mulder on the sidelines frowned, he was very hesitant, really talking about strength, Bolton is actually the strongest of several central defenders, and now Bolton can't keep up with his physical fitness, he is very hesitant to replace the captain and replace the young Hevedes.
After weighing in for a few minutes, Mulder made the worst decision by not replacing an overstretched Bolton, but instead of keeping him on the pitch.
In the 85th minute, Pire and Ibargasa made a one-two combination on the wing, crossed, Rossi ran forward to contain Degan, and in the center of the box were Bolton and Llorente.
This time the passing point was in place, Llorente grabbed the point, Bolton was powerless, the jump was slow, Llorente shook his head to attack the goal!
He headed the ball into the top left corner of Schalke 04's goal, and Neuer flew to the ball, but although his fingertips blocked it, it still couldn't prevent the ball from going into the net.
Looking at the football spinning in the net, the Schalke 04 players collectively lost their voices, and they all had the same thought in their hearts, it's over!
Bolton squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and didn't dare to look at the ball in the goal, it is true that he is a troublemaker, but he definitely fulfilled the responsibility of a captain in this game, very hard!
His slow motion once again buried Schalke 04's advantage, and now Schalke 04 is really in a desperate situation, according to the rules, away goals in the Champions League are very important, everyone draws to compare away goals, now Villarreal has two away goals, Schalke 04 has only one, they want to qualify must score again, to achieve this goal is obviously very, very difficult.
