Chapter 42 The National Character of the State

At half-time, Schmidt did not criticize the team for conceding two goals in the first half. In fact, he is a very gentle coach with high emotional intelligence and a good relationship with the players.

Of course, the problems in the first half were obvious, with the exception of a short period of time, when Platanias failed to create more attacking chances. Platanias is a team that mainly uses ground coordination and side fast breaks as the main means of attack. But in this kind of weather, there are actually certain restrictions on how their offensive characteristics can be played.

Therefore, Schmidt had to make adjustments. First of all, he asked the two full-backs to boldly assist the strikers, and decided to replace Charles Hanoglou, who played in the central midfield position, with Schmidt, and replace the 192 cm tall high school striker Kiessling, who played for eight seasons at Platanias.

Kiessling and the team's starting center Dermic formed a double striker, and the team's formation changed from 4231 to 442. This formation is very familiar to Schmidt when he was at Red Bull Salzburg, relying on the system of 442 double strikers to press and attack quickly, and he has maintained a 33-game unbeaten run in the Austrian league. The league bombarded 110 goals in a single season. His twin striker Soriano scored 31 goals in 28 games and Alan scored 26 goals in 29 games. He won the Olympic League last season and set a record of eight consecutive wins in the Europa League.

Since coming to Platanias, he hasn't been able to come over and pass on his tactical ideas to the whole team, but now he needs to work hard. Schmidt's first trick came to mind, of course, was his own success.

Most people are like that. When you've succeeded once with a set of things, you always use that set of things that make you successful as a standard. This is also the reason why the manager is so stubborn in the eyes of many fans. No one can easily break their shackles.

Schmidt asked the team to play more wingers. In terms of wingers, Platanias have players of speed and skill such as Stanley Matthews and Bellaby, and their two full-backs also provide excellent assists.

"Be sure to let more opportunities pass! You don't need to pass it from the bottom, you can pass it at a 45-degree angle. This weather is not suitable for ground attacks. We have to get the ball in the air. Kiessling will play in the second half. His height will create opportunities for us. Be sure to make the most of this! ”

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Reinhatbal was worried about something else.

'Slow down in the second half and try to slow down the pace of the game. We are now two goals ahead. The most important thing is to maintain our advantage at the weakest cost. ”

In this snowy environment, Reinhatbar's biggest concern is that if the pace of the game is too fast, the team will not be injured.

Now the Wasland Beveren club is two goals ahead of the opponent, and it is at the opponent's home stadium, so there is no need to fight with the opponent. As long as it's safe and you win the game.

……..

In the second half of the game, Platanias FC's high-pitched strategy caused panic in the Wallland Beveren FC penalty area, and the threat of the two forwards in the box made the Wallland Beveren Club tired to deal with.

"Bella Bikroos! Kiessling in the middle of the road grabbed a little!! Course!!!!!!!!!! Oh...... It's a pity that the top is high!! ”

Platanias' style of play started out simple and rough, but it was even more effective than the threat Platanias FC made in the first half.

But now that the opponent has scored, it is necessary to show more energy on your side!

Stanley Matthews pumped himself up and then turned to get the ball ready for a foul.

In the next game, Stanley Matthews was very active, and Stanley Matthews's flexible footwork was also beautiful. Under his leadership, the attacking threat on the left side of Platanias FC gradually increased.

In the 20th minute, Stanley Matthews played a game with his teammates on the side, and then cut the ball and fired a shot that went slightly off the crossbar, but Reinhatbarr on the sidelines and the visiting fans in the stands were shocked into a cold sweat!

But the home fans saw the hope of an equaliser and were even more noisy and cheering for the team.

Just two minutes later, Platanias FC made a comeback. The Platanias FC players saw the initiative in Stanley Matthews' eyes and more natural football came to Stanley Matthews, who seemed to be in good form in this game.

This time Stanley Matthews did not cut inside, but followed the baseline to the penalty area, and the inverted triangle near the baseline reached the penalty spot. Follow-up Bellaby pushed directly.

At the moment of Stanley Matthews' pass, the Platanias fans at the scene stood up, ready to shout and celebrate the goal.

But Bellaby's push was blocked by Miranda and then got rid of it directly.

"This time the Platanias club is attacking more and more! Be sure to take your chances if you waste too many chances in front of a team like Wasland Beveren.........................................................................................................................................................

The TV camera quickly switches back and the TV commentator realizes what's going on on the pitch!

William Adams Miller sprinted with the ball at high speed, and the Platanias club defender chased back at high speed, but could not get close to William Adams Miller.

Faced with such a one-on-one opportunity, William Adams Miller was very calm. In the face of the attacking goalkeeper, he shook it easily with a feint, and then kicked with his right foot, and the football rolled into the net!

Two to zero!

The Platanias fans were silent, with only the cheering Wasland Beveren fans remaining at the Bayer Arena.

Then there was a replay of the televised broadcast, so that the TV commentators and the viewers in front of the TV who had just missed the whole process of the goal knew what had happened.

Miranda's clearance ball was kicked up front, and Romin leaned on the defender with ease and grazed the ball back. William Adams Miller, who was swimming beside him, immediately exerted his leg strength and galloped forward like a cheetah.

After that, it was broadcast on TV.....

Schmidt helplessly spread his hands, he couldn't even complain about anything. Luo Ming, this is the embodiment of the individual ability of the opponent's striker. This goal is exactly the same as the previous one. This shows that the goal of the Wasland Beveren Club is not luck, but the opponent's fearlessness. The Platanias club fell into the abyss with just the individual ability of two strikers.

It is true that the Platanias club is now in a very precarious situation. If the match ends with such a scoreline, Platanias FC has little hope of advancing to the next round.

Reinhatbarr returned to the dugout after that goal. Although there were still sixty or seventy minutes left in the game, he was still very happy with the current situation. In such unfavourable away conditions, I took a two-goal lead and the game was basically won!

However, when Romin returned to the penalty area, it was all over. In the high-altitude ball game, neither Kiessling nor Dermic were opponents of Romin.

Kiessling is about the same height as Romming, but the difference between the two sides in jumping, physical confrontation and judging the landing site is still obvious.

These include Barcelona's Brazilian winger Neymar, Belgian talent Eden Hazard, Wales winger Bale and French talented midfielder Paul Pogba.

Luo Ming is one of them. These post-90s players can seize power and overthrow Messi Ronaldo's rule, which is the most likely thing to cause discussion and even controversy in the next few years.

................

With the referee's whistle, the quiet Calderón Stadium was once again filled with cheers.

"The game is on!"

The Wasland Beveren club, which had the right to kick off, did not take advantage of the kick-off and launched a fierce attack at the beginning, just like the hinterland of the Wasland Beveren club.

Villarreal FC's current style of play is very fond of playing quick counter-attacks, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale as the two sides that can move forward quickly. The pace of Villarreal's counter-attacks has scared a lot of teams.

"Scored !!!!!!"

"Scored !!!!!!"

Madrid's narrator shouted excitedly. Luo Ming

"In the eighth minute, the Wasland Beveren Club took the lead! The man who scored the goal was Kriezmann... Clear... Mountain! ”

"10th goal in the World Cup this season! A powerful long-range shot from outside the box opened the record for Wasland Beveren FC! ”

After the goal, Luo Ming was also very excited. He ran to the away fans' stands and patted the badge on his chest.

Probably the most tormenting fan in this winter's transfer window is the Wasland Beveren FC fans. Many of the players at the Wasland Beveren club are coveted by some big clubs, especially Romming. Almost every day there are rumors in the newspapers about Luo Ming's transfer.

Fans also unanimously responded to him: "Kriezmann !!!"

"Platanias FC was a goal after the start of the game. It's their home turf. If they don't get a good result at home, the prospects of the Platanias FC World Cup are not optimistic. You know, their opponents, the Wasland Beveren Club, are a team that is very good at playing downwind, with a very hard and flexible defense. If Wasland Beveren FC is ahead, their counter-attacking ability will scare a lot of teams when you have to press the counter-attack...........................................................................................................

At home, he conceded the goal first, and the opponent was such a strong opponent, so this game was not easy to play.

Schmidt raised his forehead after the goal. He certainly didn't think his team could stop the Wasland Beveren Club from scoring throughout the game. He was ready to concede the ball, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, less than ten minutes.

What he expects is that Platanias can take the lead in the face of the instability of the Wasland Beveren club so that the game can continue.

Wasland Beveren FC are not adapted to such weather and venues, but Platanias FC cannot envy the individual qualities of their players. Did the Wasland Beveren FC just score a goal after suppressing the Platanias club in terms of technique and tactics? Not at all! Before the goal, the Wasland Beveren club had only two players who combined with each other, and then Romin shot from the outside. The whole process is that Glitzmann and Romin have penetrated the entire defence of Platanias FC!

The defenders were in place, and the defensive line was fairly complete, but the opponent scored unreasonably. Schmidt, of course, was not reconciled. Especially in this kind of weather, the ball will accelerate significantly after rubbing on the grass, and long-range shots will make it more difficult for the goalkeeper to defend. From this point of view, such weather is more helpful to the Wasland Beveren club. After all, they've already scored!

The goal conceded left the Platanias FC players stunned, with the goalkeeper and centre-back even starting to complain to each other. However, they quickly regained their morale and prepared to fight back.

No one wants to go home for a team that makes it to the knockout rounds. What's more, falling behind by one to zero is not the end of the world. Platanias FC had more than 80 minutes to resume the score at home.

The celebration at the Wasland Beveren Club ended soon and football was placed in the center circle again. Because of the tendency of heavy snowfall, the ground is already white. The red soccer ball protrudes in the middle circle.

After the resumption of the game, Platanias began to attack the Wasland Beveren club with home strength.

The snowy weather had a big impact on the Wasland Beveren Club. In such an environment, the rules of running and the running movements of the players are different from ordinary football turf.

In the 12th minute, Godin broke the ball. Just as he was about to pass the ball to Gabe in midfield, the ball rolled a few times in the snow and was caught by the snow. The nimble Stanley Matthews dribbled forward and overtook Gabe, who was about to receive the ball. Then Stanley Matthews also fired from distance in the box. Luckily, Bian Yuan was quite focused and knocked the ball out of the box with one punch.

Stanley Matthews' shot immediately blew up at Bayer Stadium, and Platanias fans cheered Stanley Matthews' shot.

In the media seat, the Ingolan reporters all became fans at the moment, crying over Stanley Matthews' shot, which won the sideways eyes of other media workers next to them.

"What are you proud of, Luo Ming also scored, don't you shoot with one shot?" A Chinese reporter pursed his lips and sneered disapprovingly. I don't know how Romin reacted when he scored.....

Platanias FC knocks out Wasland Beveren FC?

In Schmidt's view, such an outcome is not discouraging at all.

Its implementation, Mitt himself, is a history of life fighting back. Originally, he was just a maintenance worker for an ordinary automobile industrial company. He usually plays amateur football. Like Luo Ming, he is also an amateur. However, Schmidt himself had no talent for playing football. In 2005, Schmidt, an "amateur footballer", chose to hang up his boots and began his teaching career with a local amateur team in Germany called Paris Saint-Germain.

Schmidt has no talent for playing football, but is self-taught as a head coach. In just two years, he has promoted this unofficial amateur team, which is made up entirely of fans, to the fifth tier of the German football league.

In 2007, Prussia Münster, one of the founding teams of the Spanish Extraction League, which had been relegated to the lower amateur league, invited Schmidt to coach the team, which really opened a new chapter in Schmidt's coaching career. Schmidt quit his job to become a full-time head coach.

Then Schmidt was out of control, and his coaching career took one step at a time. In June 2012, he served as the head coach of the Austrian team Red Bull Salzburg and led the team to win the league championship; In July 2014, he became the head coach of Spanish powerhouse Platanias.

This life experience is a complete structure. From football fan to coach of Spanish powerhouse Platanias, Schmidt went from football fan to coach in just seven years.

Schmidt, who has been attacking all the way, naturally wants to attack the Wasland Beveren club in this game, especially with Platanias FC occupying the right time and place, he will not miss such a good opportunity.

Perhaps he was born an "amateur", Schmidt studied Romin thoroughly. As a result, he was very wary of any attempt at possession of the ball by Romin .

But if a player commits fouls frequently, it is inevitable to draw cards. So for Platanias FC, it is key to score as soon as possible by taking advantage of the inconsistent opportunities of the Wasland Beveren FC.

The first time he had the ball, he was knocked to the ground. After Luo Ming got up from the ground, he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't find it too difficult to get used to such a venue. In the mire of the English lower league, Romin has been crawling for a year. Just give him a little time at a venue like this and he'll soon get back to playing in the mud.

Sure enough, he soon got a second chance to hold the ball. Kriezmann turned past a man and then was unsteady on his feet. In a hurry, he stabbed the ball at the feet of Luo Ming.

Luo Ming stood on his feet and stopped the ball.

This time, Lars Bender's collision didn't get any effect. Luo Ming stood firmly on the ground, arched his buttocks, and lowered his center of gravity slightly. Lars Bender's collision didn't knock Romin down, but he slipped and fell to the ground.

Romin took the opportunity to push the ball to William Adams Miller and ran forward himself.

The Platanias midfielders were immediately divided into two groups, one to steal the ball from William Adams Miller and the other to defend Romín.

The pitch was slippery and the Wasland Beveren Club did not have many counter-attackers. The Wasland Beveren Club will not be able to fight back easily as long as they hold the ball and receive the ball.

Romin ran from the outside to the inside, and William Adams Miller got the news. After he ran to Romin position, he just pushed the ball into Romin Romin's forward line.

Luo Ming, who was running, was very comfortable adjusting his pace during the run. To catch the ball directly is to shoot angrily.

"Bang!"

Underneath the soccer ball is the hard smoke of the instep, and the soccer ball jumps out of the snow much faster than on the grass.

The snow falling from the Bayer Arena was shattered by the high-speed flight, and the Platanias club goalkeeper only saw the red football through the snow and flew in front of his eyes in an instant.

He only had time to symbolically wave his hand and the football flew past him into the goal!

Although Stanley Matthews himself felt sorry for the shot to be thrown out, he was happy with the performance he had just played. The shooting feel is good, which makes him more confident.
