Chapter 5. A tumultuous first half
No one expected that just two minutes after the first half, a goal was scored against the opponent, and everyone was a little silent. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Favre shouted encouragement to the players on the sidelines, and it took a moment before he sat back with a dark face.
"Oh, we can see Coach Favre's anger in his actions, and we just hope our team can pick themselves up quickly."
The narrator was also happy to watch the picture of Favre kicking the water bottle that had just been replayed on the screen.
On the field, Arango was also loudly encouraging his teammates, and then gestured to Royce, who nodded.
Then the situation on the pitch began to stalemate, Schalke wanted to take the opportunity to expand the score and increase the investment in the attack, but Borussia Mönchen finally reacted after suffering a blow, and the defense was also organized.
'We've seen some changes in Borussia Mönchen's attack, Arango has dropped back a little bit and Reus has started to move a little bit down the middle, but if Borussia Mönchenchen wants to play a quick attack, it feels like it's hard to tear apart the opposition's defence.
The commentator saw it very accurately, with the current attack line configuration of Mönchenchen, if the counterattack could not be played, it would be even more difficult to break through the opponent's goal in the positional attack. But Mönchen's relatively conservative tactics in the face of the opponent, as well as the current score, make Mönchen very helpless and have to attack.
On the pitch, Schalke players hold the ball.
Arango stared closely at the opponent's ball carrier Kluger, and slowly forced the opponent to the side to reduce the opponent's threat of holding the ball, Kluge saw that there was no way to get rid of it, so he wanted to pass the ball to Farfan on the side, and at the moment he passed the ball out, Arango moved!
"Kluge took the ball and wanted to go to the middle but Arango pressed very hard, Klug went to the side and wanted to pass to Farfan, who was next to him for the ball, and passed, ah, the ball was broken! Good opportunity for Mönchen! ”
On the field, Arango was unusually calm at the moment, and did not dribble the ball, but directly made a long pass to Herman on the right side, Herman did not stop the ball under the interference of the opposing defender Schmitz, but pushed the ball back, and a white lightning suddenly appeared, receiving the ball and going straight into the penalty area.
"Royce! It's Royce! He was like an assassin wandering in front of the Schalke penalty area, and finally caught the opportunity at this time, perfect anti-offside! Reus went in, faced Neuer, shot, the ball went in! A blast from Reus's right foot, Neuer couldn't do anything about it! ”
Neuer looked at the ball that had landed in the goal, and went over to kick the ball away to vent the anger in his heart.
Reuss excitedly celebrated in front of the home fans, and the players also came to celebrate with Reuss, and the equaliser just after conceding a goal was a great morale boost.
Favre on the sidelines saw that the team had scored, and waved his arms fiercely, feeling relieved that he could equalize so quickly, which gave him confidence again. The offensive routine just now is actually a routine that is often practiced in the frontcourt during training, but I didn't expect it to succeed in one attempt today.
On the bench of Schalke 04 on the side, head coach Magath frowned and looked at the Borussia Mönchen players celebrating on the field, very angry in his heart, but he didn't know where to vent, this was a beautiful anti-offside, and the team's defense was blameless. Standing on the sidelines, although he still looks like a "devil coach" on the surface, he slowly feels a little tired in his heart, the team's poor record this season, and the 50 million spent in the summer transfer period have not been able to bring good results to the team, but has been repeatedly criticized by the media for buying waste, he has felt the surging undercurrent in the club, and can't help but sigh.
The home fans, who had been suppressed by Schalke 04 fans on the pitch, finally broke out, and a huge wave of sound swept the stadium, and celebratory songs rang out. All the fans were rejoicing and looking forward to the team being able to keep up the good work and win the game.
Ye Bing was also celebrating with his teammates on the bench on the sidelines, and the lively atmosphere on the court was about to ignite him, and he couldn't wait to play.
Favre took advantage of the team's celebration, quickly called Arango to the sidelines, and told him to take advantage of Schalke's just conceded goal, the team has some chaos, continue to work hard, and strive to score another goal, Arango nodded and said he knew.
On Schalke's side, Magath frowned and walked to the sidelines, pressed down with his hands, and made a steady gesture to the players on the sidelines, it was still the first half, and it was not time to make substitutions, he could only hope that the players could adjust quickly.
After kicking off again, Arango followed the coach's arrangement and carefully looked for opportunities, but Schalke was the team brought out by the devil's coach Magath after all, and soon stabilized the situation, and the midfield was gradually controlled by Schalke's side.
"We saw that in these few minutes, Schalke 04 gradually regained the initiative on the field and began to organize attacks in the backfield of Borussia Mönchenchen, but Borussia Mönchen's counterattack was too fast, and if it could not cut off the line of the opponent's counterattack well, Schalke's heavy attack would be very risky." The neutral commentator looked at several attackers in the front court of Borussia Mönchenchen and said thoughtfully, "However, Borussia Mönchen now has many points of counterattack, which can be played, whether it is Reuss, Herman or Idrissu, they are all players who can pass the ball quickly, and Arango, a core player, is not too restricted, so we can see that Arango frequently instigates counterattacks." ”
"Schalke's attack, Farfan dribbled the ball on the right, Damus was defending him, Farfan passed the ball and wanted to pass to Huntelaar in the middle, the ball was broken, Dams made a nice sliding tackle and the ball went to Dams' feet."
The situation on the field changed abruptly, and Dams glanced up and passed a long ball to the front.
Arango saw Dams kick the ball in the front court, and instantly started to run to the landing point, Schalke right-back Atsuto Uchida on the side wanted to keep up with Arango's speed, but was quickly taken away, and could only look at the ball and sigh.
'Arango has the ball on the left and now there are only three players at Schalke in the back, but Borussia Mönchen has four attacking players and Schalke is dangerous. The neutral narrator introduces the situation on the field.
"Arango is activated, Atsuto Uchida is following him, trying to stop him, oh! Arango was too fast, leaving Atsuto Uchida far behind, chance, this is Borussia Mönchen's chance, 4 to 3 in front, Arango crosses! The home commentator looked excitedly at Arango, who had passed the crucial cross, and the table thumped.
Arango calmly stopped the ball, took two steps forward, and made a perfect arc with his left foot on the left side of the penalty area, and Idrissu in the middle rushed to shoot at the front point, which was slightly wide.
"Whew!"
The voices of regret from the home fans rang out on the sidelines, and Idrissu also fell to the pitch with his head in his hands, his face full of frustration and disbelief that he had missed the opportunity to almost open the net.
Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer shouted angrily to the team's defenders, and he was also a little apprehensive.
'Idrissu missed the chance to be the savior of the team, he wasted Arango's brilliant pass, and looking at the face of the coach Favre off the pitch, I'm afraid he's not going to have a good time in midfield.' The neutral commentator quipped.
Favre shook his head from the sidelines, knowing that there might not be such a good opportunity in the future.
The situation on the field was also as Favre thought, and then Schalke 04 was like a frightened bird, and he no longer dared to attack in a big way, and the two sides ended the first half in a stalemate.
'The first half was over, the two sides played to a 1-1 draw, and after the break we watched the second half.
