Chapter 17: A Powerful Central Defender

In the face of Wang Zhen's beautiful defense, Klopp also applauded excitedly, and shouted on the sidelines: "Tighten up for me!" Your opponent won't wait for you to get used to it! ”

To be reasonable, both sides are offensive teams, and the lineup given by Klopp is a notch higher than that of the opponent Fürth in terms of configuration and frontcourt personnel allocation, and of course, the corresponding defense is much better than the opponent.

If the defense can't withstand it, it's really miserable.

"It's a good defense!" Malcoros laughed: "Markovark is also a defender with good headers, I hate to partner with players with good headers, I have nothing to do." Malcoros quipped.

Wang Zhen said a cold joke coldly: "Then you are miserable, before I became a center forward, this position has always been me." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, returning to their places.

The atmosphere in the back is not the same as in the front.

When the frontcourt players attack, they don't have time to communicate verbally, and most of the time they make gestures or make eye contact.

The backfield players will always communicate with each other under the leadership of the defensive core or the goalkeeper, although they also have to shout.

Especially in this kind of small stadium, the shouts and cheers of the fans are like blocking the ears, too close to the sidelines.

In training, after all, it was different from in the game, and after a few minutes of adaptation, Wang Zhen gradually found his senses and knew how the formation during training was effective.

Malcoros is in charge of left-back, and generally the strong side of most teams around the world is on the right side, so Marco is here, and Mainz's defense has improved more than a notch.

He was borrowed from Hanover, Wang Zhen once scanned Malcolos with the FF system, and found that his average attribute on the left back was as high as 15, if you go further, it is an elite left-back, but Malkoros also has his problems, like goalkeeper Timovoche, more inconsistent.

The inconsistency doesn't mean he's a colander, just like in the first attack, if he was fully focused, the opposing midfielder Christian Webber couldn't have delivered such high-quality crosses.

Marco was quite mentally unstable, so Marco, who was in the prime of his career for a year, was loaned to Mainz by Hanover.

Overall, he is very trustworthy.

When Fürth attacked from the right side, Wang Zhen and he executed the closing defense, and the cooperation was not bad.

In the first ten minutes before the situation opened, the defensive combination of Wang Zhen and Marco became the brightest player on the court.

As a young coach who is only 42 years old, Eugenhach is also a little out of breath and has been wandering anxiously on the sidelines.

Judging from the field, Fürth still maintains an offensive posture, but he knows that in a short period of time, the players who have lost their physical strength can only retreat, and if they just attack frantically but cannot bring threat, it is tantamount to giving the opponent a big gift.

On the other hand, Klopp is much more relaxed, and he will not adjust anything until there is a hole in the back.

The offensive brought by Fürth is over, and this side sings that we are on the stage, and Mainz begins their offensive.

The midfield forward is actually a front, and Mimeen Hazaoch actually does not have the ability to have a metronome and attack initiation, and the ball has been under the control of Jurgenkameni, constantly penetrating Fürth.

However, the front court is obviously not in shape, and for a long time, I can't tell the other party.

Until the 32nd minute of the first half, Mainz failed to play a smooth attack, and there was not a single shot on target.

Klopp was also clearly anxious and began to go to the sidelines.

After a few small adjustments, little came of it.

The first half passed in a hurry.

At halftime, the home commentator couldn't help but complain: "We relied on the opponent's sluggishness to prevent the opponent's attack, while the opponent's backfield was very eye-catching, after this game, the defenders of both sides will become the focus?" Hopefully Eugen can make a difference in the second half. ”

Back in the locker room, after 45 minutes of boring football game, everyone did not look very good, both physically and mentally.

Jurgen Klopp walked into the dressing room: "I was very unhappy with the performance in the first half. ”

When he said that, all the players looked up at him.

Klopp walked to the small blackboard and turned the small blackboard away: "There is no point in talking about any tactical issues now, the league has only started a short time, and even a third of the games have not been played, so we are ready to give up the league?" Isn't our goal this season to be promoted? What do you think, how can this state be upgraded? ”

Jurgen Klopp said this for a reason, Mainz finished fourth at the end of the league last season, the same level as third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt, with 62 points!

When the season ended, everyone cried and wept, and from then on, the goal of promotion this season was already set.

There are two reasons for this, the first is that Mainz does not have a large turnover of players, and the second is that the strong teams in the Bundesliga have been promoted to the first division last season, and this season may be the best chance for Mainz to be promoted in recent years.

Klopp looked at everyone, and then at Wang Zhen: "In this game, Wang Zhen's performance is very good, this is his first professional game, you as teammates, as big brothers who should promote juniors, let him see your state?" If we can't even defeat Fürth, what impact escalation is there to talk about? Most of the results of the next game are out, and if we win this game, we can get back to fourth, are you going to lose the game and fall out of the tenth? ”

The players looked at each other before Klopp put his eyes on it again: "I don't want the second half to be like this. After saying that, he walked out of the player's tunnel and went to the toilet.

Wang Zhen asked cautiously: "Captain, the leader likes to get angry so much?" ”

"Yes and no, sometimes we get angry, maybe because the opponent is too weak, and we still play like this, which makes the leader very angry." Speaking of this, Michael Zucker stood up and clapped his hands: "Guys, we must win this game, everyone is ready to prepare, you have heard the words of the leader, one step forward is fourth, one step back is tenth, we have to win!" ”

Young teams have the advantage of not discouraged the players once the manager blows them wildly, but rather arouses the desire of the players to prove themselves.

It seems that the atmosphere of the team has been solved.

Still, if you don't play, who knows?

The game quickly went into the second half.

Mainz got together as a team, played well for three minutes, and then fell back into the old form.

Klopp also saw the problem, but there was nothing he could do, it was too early to make substitutions, and if he didn't make substitutions, he couldn't solve this kind of problem at all.

The reason is that the rhythm of the opponent is relatively slow, which causes the players to run weakly on the field, and they are deflated when they run, and then they seem lazy.

The scariest thing is that everyone hasn't found out yet.

In the 73rd minute, Klopp replaced No. 25 midfielder Antonio Silva.

Antonio Silva did change the mood a bit when he came on and his movement brought energy to the team, but he soon found himself in the mud.

The most terrible thing is that Fürth itself did not take advantage of it, and the control was originally in Mainz.

The two sides seemed to be kicking and kicking on the glue-stained field, and they couldn't run, and the fans at the scene were even dissatisfied with the home team, although there were no boos, but there were still complaints.

The on-site commentator made a conclusion: "Neither side wants to win, the best of the whole game has been determined, it is the central defender from Mainz, WANZHEN, although this player is the first time to appear in the German second division, but his defensive skills are very good, and when he becomes stronger, he will definitely become the target of the teams." ”

At the end of the game, Mainz drew 0:0 with Fürth, and Mainz successfully scored 14 points to rank ninth in the league, and the chasers behind Fürth failed to take the opportunity to complete the overtake, so it was still 12th.

After a good start, Mainz ushered in two straight draws.
