0179 You're too short, which affects the quality of the human wall
The Rhine-Neckar Arena in Sinsheim is a relatively small arena in the Bundesliga, which can only accommodate about 3w fans.
However, Hoffenheim's nickname is Huocun because Hoffenheim was originally a village in Sinsheim, let alone Hoffenheim, even Sinsheim cannot be found on the map of Germany.
There are only about 3,000 residents in Hoffenheim Village, even if you add fans from the surrounding villages and towns, it would be good to fill up 3w as a fill, what is the use of doing more?
For this reason, Hoffenheim was not less ridiculed by other teams for hillbillies.
However, in today's game, Hoffenheim showed a very tough performance at home, intending to suppress Schalke 04 from the start.
Ye Feng remembers that in the first half of last season, Hoffenheim, who had just entered the Bundesliga, was still leading the standings, and if it weren't for the number one center Ibisevic who was reimbursed for the season due to injury, maybe they might have been able to replicate the miracle of Kaiserslautern.
However, everyone has slowly adapted to this "stunned" style of play, and Hoffenheim is not so mysterious, and can only rely on strength to break through in the Bundesliga.
And today, Hoffenheim's Bosnia-Herzegovina double star performance is very eye-catching, especially Salihovic, who is very active in the midfield.
In Jones's absence, Ye Feng had to take on more defensive responsibilities, while marking the opponent's core players, he also had to keep sweeping in the midfield to reduce the pressure on Matip.
What annoyed Ye Feng the most was that he didn't dare to foul.
Salihovic is a master of free-kicks, and the rate of direct free-kicks is very high, once he is given too many direct free-kick opportunities, Neuer will be troubled.
Therefore, Ye Feng can only use the iron wall to deal with Salihovic, and even at Hoffenheim's home stadium, he doesn't dare to stare at Salihovic too tightly, for fear that the referee will blow the home whistle.
In this way, although Salihovic can't pass Ye Feng head-on, because there is room for passing, he uses more passing to lead the attack.
Engelar is experienced, and although he still wants to go to the waves from time to time, he can still share a lot of pressure on Ye Feng.
But Matip on the right, because of his lack of experience in the Bundesliga, is more embarrassed.
In the 9th minute, Salihovic passed the ball to the feet of Eduardo, who broke through Matip's defense directly under Matip's close defense.
Matip is on top!
Pulling Eduardo to the ground with his hand.
Although it prevented Eduardo's breakthrough, it gave Hoffenheim a free-kick in a good position.
Ye Feng was one head and two big in an instant, and he was so difficult to defend Salihovic carefully and did not dare to foul, Matip didn't seem to realize this at all, and he had no scruples about fouling at all.
This will not work!
I was about to speak, but I stopped immediately.
Because Ye Feng remembered his first professional game.
It was when I was in the Bundesliga, and it was in that game that I was cared for by my father of the system.
But that's not the point, the point is that in that game, because of his defensive mistakes, Altentop, who recovered from the first team to the second team, was not angry with himself.
Whether it's their own fault or not, whether Altentop is a first-team star or not, since they are playing side by side on the same field, they are teammates.
With such an attitude towards his teammates, at least Ye Feng couldn't accept it.
So, in other words, if you scold Matip with a bad attitude, then what is the difference between yourself and Altentop?
After thinking about it, Ye Feng pulled Matip, who didn't seem to realize what he had done, to the wall, and while standing, he turned his head sideways to Matip and said: "I see a little nervousness in you, but this is normal, after all, everyone will appear for the first time, and excitement is inevitable!" ”
"But being nervous can affect your commitment to the game, so you have to learn to be restrained."
"In addition, Salihovic's free kick is very powerful, in the threat area, it is better not to foul as easily as possible, and if he takes the opportunity, the situation is not very favorable."
"Come on, boy, I'm optimistic about you!"
As he spoke, Ye Feng didn't forget to pat Matip's shoulder.
It's just that because Matip is a little tall, Ye Feng's posture of patting him on the shoulder is very stiff.
Matip looked at Ye Feng in a daze, and was a little speechless for a while.
He is a nobody from the second team, but Ye Feng has already made a name for himself in the Bundesliga, even if the two are of the same age, Ye Feng is only one year older than Matip, but in fact, the status of the two is very different.
And now, in Matip's opinion, Ye Feng, the big star who is high, is so calm and so patient to comfort himself, how can he not be flattered?
"Well, I'll definitely try!"
Matip nodded heavily, reassuring forcefully.
Ye Feng may not know how abyssal his words will have an impact on a young player, but now, as long as Matip doesn't get into trouble.
Schalke 04 lined up the human wall, and at this time, the advantages of Schalke 04 appeared, there were many big and tall, and the human walls were too high.
Englar, Matip, Westerman and a Kuranyi were all four of them blocking Salihovic's sight.
Where has Salihovich ever seen such an exaggerated wall of people?
For a while, I was a little confused.
However, at this time, Ye Feng was more confused than Salihovic.
For no other reason, he was originally going to join the human wall, but he was pushed out by Engral in disgust.
"You're too short, it's affecting the quality of the human wall!" Engal said to Ye Feng with great heart.
Ye Feng was about to cry, why was my 1.85-meter-old strong man actually disliked?
Where does this make him reasonable?
Besides, if the Barcelona midfielders know about this, how will they be embarrassed?
Ye Feng couldn't help but think of Barcelona's human wall, Messi 1.69 meters, Xavi 1.7 meters, Iniesta 1.71 meters, the three of them stood together, just like a wifi signal.
It doesn't seem to make sense to have such a wall of people lined up or not, right?
Where is it like in Schalke 04, it is not 1.9 meters, and I am not even qualified to row the human wall!
Salihovic had no choice but to take a penalty kick, and a curling ball really bypassed the human wall and went to the Schalke 04 goal in a big arc.
Luckily, Manuel Neuer was well prepared and leaped to keep Salihovic's free-kick away.
The Huocun fans in the stands couldn't help but exclaim regretfully, if Hoffenheim could take the lead at the beginning, then the game would be very easy to control!
At this time, Matip was also shocked into a cold sweat!
He's seen the power of Salihovic's free-kicks!
He also realized how reckless his actions were, and if Schalke 04 really conceded the goal because of this, wouldn't he become a sinner for the team?
He doesn't want his Bundesliga debut to be his most unbearable memory!
Thinking of this, Matip looked at Ye Feng's gaze, full of gratitude again!
