Chapter Twenty-Three: Garbage Time Appears
On the pitch, Darmstadt, who had restarted the kick-off, suddenly came out of nowhere, and they pressed almost all the way to the Dortmund goal. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The Dortmund players on the pitch were unprepared for the sudden attack of the opponent, and there were many mistakes in defense.
In the 55th minute, Darmstadt had their best chance since the opening kick-off. When the forward No. 20 Heller won the ball in front of the field, he connected Weigel and Castro, and Dortmund's backline suddenly became a little confused. When Dortmund centre-back No. 28 Ginter stepped forward to grab the ball, Heller had already delivered a lethal pass. Winger No. 14 Bezak successfully countered offside and got a single chance, facing the attacking Dortmund goalkeeper Bilky, Bezak delicately pushed the far corner of the goal, but unfortunately this must-have goal was rejected by the goal post.
"Oh my God, it's dangerous, Bilki has already surrendered, thanks to the help of the goalpost......," Dicker was scared for a while, "this is Darmstadt's best chance to score so far!" ”
"Weigl and Castro had a problem in the defense, causing the opponent to burst into two, and the back line was torn apart in an instant, giving the opponent's striker this one-on-one chance, if it wasn't for the help of the goal, the score would have become 2-1." 'Darmstadt have pressed out and Tuchel should have adjusted, now that we are two goals ahead, it is time to control the tempo of the game. ”
Sure enough, as soon as Rupert's words fell, coach Tuchel stepped up to the bench. However, coach Tuchel did not call the fat man, but asked No. 18 Rod to warm up.
'Coach Tuchel has asked Rod to warm up, it looks like Coach Tuchel is going to change the players in the midfield position, who will be replaced by Weigl or Castro?' Dicker wondered.
'Weigel is more likely, he played the whole game in the last Champions League game and fitness is a big issue. However, today's team backfield is mainly organized by Weigel, and if Weigel is replaced, it will not be conducive to the control of the team, so Castro may also ......," Rupert analyzed.
Sixty minutes into the game, the situation on the pitch changed abruptly, Darmstadt back No. 18 Nemeier tackled Ramos behind his back, was sentenced to death, and was directly sent off by the referee with a red card. Darmstadt had to play more with less when they were two goals down away, which made matters worse and basically lost hope of an equalizer.
"The game is really over, Darmstadt has no chance. They will play with 10 men for the next thirty minutes and there is little hope of an equaliser. Dicker commented.
"No. 18 Nemeier is too uncalm, Darmstadt's attack has just improved, and he was completely buried by his uncalm red card." Rupert looked pity, "There really is too much unpredictability in football games......"
On the sidelines, Coach Frings was depressed and wanted to vomit blood. It was a terrible match for him. Whenever he makes adjustments to the team, there will always be something other than happening, disrupting his plans and making him unable to complain.
The ensuing game confirmed the opinion of the two commentators, and Darmstadt, who had just improved in attack, immediately died down, and this red card was too big a blow to the confidence of Darmstadt's players on the field. Add to that Dortmund's constant pressure, and Darmstadt can no longer organise a decent attack.
With 65 minutes played, coach Thomas Tuchel made his first substitution, with No.18 Rod coming on, but it was not Weigl or Castro who was replaced by Rohdes, but left wing-back Dort and captain Schmelzer.
'Coach Tuchel changed his mind and replaced Schmelzer with Rod and the Borussia Dortmund captain was given a break. Dicker commented: "Schmelzer has not missed a game since captaincy at the time, and this is the first time he has been substituted by a team-mate in a game. ”
"Actually, it doesn't matter if coach Tuchel replaces Schmelzer or Weigel or Castro with Rode, and it will be difficult for Darmstadt to turn the tables in this game." Rupert affirmed.
"Boris, do you think Pang still has a chance to play?" Dicker asked.
"Yes, and it's likely!" Rupert replied.
"What?" Dicker was surprised, "Didn't you just say that Tuchel will only choose Pom when the team is in trouble? ”
'That's just the first case, and there's also the situation where when the team is sure to win the game, Tuchel will also put Poe on the pitch and he needs to give Pom game time, not to win the game, just to keep Pom in shape.' Rupert said.
'Doesn't that mean that Coach Tuchel is not using Pang as a conventional weapon, but only as a secret weapon?' Dickleton got it.
"That's how players outside the system are treated, that's what I think anyway." Rubeer nodded, "Maybe that's not what Coach Tuchel thinks, but that's how he feels to me!" ”
'Man, maybe we're all thinking too much, after all, the new season has just begun, and we need to see how Thomas Tuchel will use Poon. Dicker analyzed.
"Maybe!" Rupert said helplessly.
Seeing Darmstadt sent off, the fat man had no expectations for this match. The fat man is no longer looking forward to playing, because even if he plays, it is not interesting, except for slaughtering the opponent, the fat man really can't think of what role he can play. It's like a basketball game, when a team has a big lead over the opponent, they will pass the time with a substitute at the last minute because the game has gone into garbage time. For the fat man, the rest of the game is garbage time, and it doesn't make much sense to go up or not.
However, Coach Tuchel does not agree with the fat man's idea. Because in the eyes of coach Tuchel, as long as the game is not over, it should be taken seriously. Just like in the last Champions League game, even though Borussia Dortmund had a four-goal lead in the first half, Tuchel coached his players to take it seriously until the 90 minutes were over.
Sure enough, as soon as Rod was replaced, Coach Tuchel asked the fat man to warm up. Five minutes later, the fat man was substituted, the No. 13 Guerrero was substituted, and the fat man was replaced by the No. 12 Moore, who replaced the No. 7 Dembele.
'Man, you really guessed it, coach Tuchel if he let Pang play.' Dicker was surprised: "Coach Tuchel not only brought Pom off the bench, but also played Pang in the midfield position. ”
Rupert was also surprised, but Rupert was surprised not by the fat man being substituted, but by the midfield position, which he had been strongly advising Tuchel to play in the midfield position. However, Rupert quickly figured out why, he didn't think Tuchel had endorsed the fat man, it was just a temporary attempt by Tuchel, after all, Gotze and Kagawa in the midfield position, their recent performances have not been very satisfactory to Tuchel's manager.
'Maybe it's just a temporary effort by Tuchel's manager, Rod has gone to play at left wing-back, why can't Pang try to play in midfielder!' Rupert said.
The fat man had lost interest in the game, but when he saw Coach Tuchel arrange for him to play in the midfield, he was immediately interested. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
'Grandma's, even if it's garbage time, my brother has to work hard to play MVP. The fat man made up his mind, 'Don't care, play well, take advantage of this opportunity first.' ’
This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fat people. Originally, Darmstadt was a double midfielder, but after the red card of No. 18 Nemeyer, Coach Frings did not make personnel changes to this position, he used the last substitution in the forward position, and in the 70th minute of the game, he replaced the striker No. 39 Schiplock with No. 16 Colak. Despite the slim hopes of an equaliser, Coach Frings did not give up hope. In this case, Darmstadt is the player who defends the fat man, and there is only one back No. 32 Holland.
Although he only played in the front midfield position for five minutes, the fat man felt the importance of this position, and the fat man had at least four points of the ball in front and back, the real attacking core. The fat man felt that his field of vision on the court had at least doubled, and this feeling was so refreshing that the fat man had a feeling of being in control.
With 75 minutes to play, the fat man, who was familiar with the position, began to show his offensive talent for the first time. When Dortmund attacked in front, Weigel made a pass and found the fat man accurately. After the fat man got the ball, he did not choose to divide the ball on the side, and pushed forward with the ball, and the fat man was ready to try to break through to see if he could disrupt the opponent's defense.
"Pong didn't split the ball wide after receiving a pass from Weigel, and he seemed to be about to break through ......" Dickel suddenly became interested.
"Pang is going to break through, he can't be wrong!" Rupert also came to be interested.
Coach Tuchel was very unhappy when he saw the fat man's action, because he had told the fat man before the fat man came on the field and let the fat man be responsible for organizing the attack, but he didn't expect the fat man to leave the task of organizing the task behind him as soon as he came on the field, and directly chose to go it alone.
The fat man had just advanced less than two meters with the ball, and Darmstadt defender Holland had already rushed over to defend head-on. The fat man is waiting for Holland to take the initiative to grab it, and the fat man may hesitate to try to break through when the opponent's two back players are left, and now there is only one back player left, and the fat man is not afraid at all. Almost at the moment when Holland kicked out, the fat man made a "croquette" smoothly, and this time the action was obviously much more chic. Just kidding, in the past few days, the fat man and the alien have learned this action, and it has been repeated thousands of times in the system.
"'Croquettes', Pang really used this trick again!" Dicker was very excited, "But this time, Pang's movements are obviously a lot more proficient!" ”
"Pang has really improved again, the last time Pang used this move, he stumbled, but I didn't expect it to succeed this time......" Rupert was very excited.
After the fat man passed Holland, Darmstadt's back line suddenly panicked, because there was an open area of four or five meters in front of the fat man, which allowed the fat man to gallop at will, whether it was a pass or a long shot, it was all in the fat man's thoughts. However, the fat man's final decision was to continue to move forward and continue to put pressure on the opponent's defense. At the same time, the fat man's teammates have already begun to thrust forward like crazy.
"Pang was so confident that he chose to continue to dribble forward...... "Dicker was even more excited.
After a moment of hesitation, Darmstadt's backline finally made a decision, with centre-back No.3 Milosevic opting to go up. The fat man wanted to pass the ball after seeing Milosevic stealing, but Ramos, who was in front of him, did not run out of the open space, and he was entangled by the opponent's other central defender, No. 21 Horn. In the face of Milosevic's grab, the fat man knew that the effect of "croquettes" this time would definitely not be as good as before, because the opponent had already taken precautions. The fat man suddenly stopped dribbling forward, ready to cut in laterally, looking for an opportunity to shoot from distance.
'Ramos didn't run out of space and Pang looked like he was going to cut inside and shoot from distance...... Dicker commented.
Before the fat man could make an inward cut, a shout suddenly came from behind him: "Pang, this way." The fat man knew it was Pulisic's voice, and almost as soon as he heard the voice, a yellow figure sprang out from the fat man's side. The fat man suddenly changed his mind and rushed to the opponent with the ball again.
'Christian Pulisic stepped forward and he and Pang were in a double game...... Dicker commented.
The fat man and Christian Pulisic rushed towards Milosevic at the same time, and Milosevic suddenly lost sight of which one to defend. Taking advantage of Milosevic's hesitation, the fat man chose to pass, and the target was the space behind Milosevic. By the time Milosevic turned to chase Pulisic, Pulisic was already on target.
"The ball is in, the ball is in! Youngster Christian Pulisic has scored! Dicker shouted, "Pulisic got a one-on-one chance when he got on the end of Poon's through ball, and he didn't waste that opportunity to not only score himself, but also to give Pom an assist!" ”
"Perfectly matched goals, so exciting!" Rupert said excitedly, "Pong's breakthrough was very exciting, directly disrupting the opponent's defensive system, and Pulisic's forward insertion was very timely, giving Pang the opportunity to send a wonderful pass, perfect coordination." ”
"Pang really brought a difference to the team's offense, and his individual ability is getting stronger and stronger." Dicker said excitedly, "I have a feeling of watching the Bayern team play when I break through, Pang is like Ribery or Robben in the Bayern team, sending a pass after the breakthrough, very threatening!" ”
"Man, that's the different role of Pang as an out-of-system player." Rupert chimed in: "He can change the situation on the pitch on his own, but at the same time he has changed the way the team works, I don't know if Pang has this attacking style, whether Coach Tuchel likes it or not. ”
The camera suddenly cuts to Tuchel's coach, only for the two commentators to be disappointed, as Tuchel has not said anything at the moment. At the moment when Pulisic scored, he was talking to his assistant, not paying attention to the situation on the pitch at all, until he was reminded of the goal by his opponent, and the Tuchel coach gave a symbolic applause.
