Chapter 356: Two Hat-tricks
Marek Mintal, who is a midfielder but often works as a striker, scored 24 goals last season. In fact, Mintal's tactical system at Nuremberg is similar to Zhuoyang's '9 and a half', except that Nuremberg is not as quintessential as Madiburg in this respect.
Mintal's technical characteristics and even the role of the team are very similar to Zhuo Yang in all aspects, the standard poor man's version, but the biggest difference between him and Zhuo Yang is in physical fitness. The 28-year-old is an injured man, and he has to rest for days if there is any trouble. Last season's miraculous absence ensured his high attendance, which was the key to his Bundesliga Silver Boot triumph.
But Mintal was not so lucky in the new season, in the summer and Stuttgart, Werder Bremen and other teams eyebrows, never gave Nuremberg a word of approval, Xu is character value overdraft, he injured the third phalange of his right foot in the Slovak national team game, and will not recover until the new season has begun, but then suffered from the flu, the unlucky Mintal only came off the bench twice in the new season, and did not score a goal. Mintal's absence and slump are also important reasons for Nuremberg's dismal start so far.
This was Mintal's first start of the new season, and Madiburg's medicine for him was Sasha Ritter.
Coach Wolf was actually very hesitant, and it was not very appropriate for Mintal to face such a tough opponent as Madiburg as soon as he recovered from injury. However, the team's enormous performance pressure eventually led Wolf to choose a more favorable choice for his own position, after all, only Mintal could match the Madiborg players in the whole team. Moreover, Mintal himself had a strong desire to fight.
As the top scorer second only to Zhuo Yang last season, although this 'second only' represents a gap of more than a dozen goals, it is inevitable that Mintar wants to continue to chase Zhuo Yang. However, Zhuo Yang has continued to gain momentum since the new season, with 13 league goals already on his scoresheet, and he is still in a blank slate, and Mintar will be very keen to break the ice in this head-to-head encounter.
As soon as the whistle blew, Mintal couldn't wait to attack the Madiburg goal, but now Uncle Scum's soldiers are not many, but they are fine, and the young masters can be of great use to pull them up.
Ritter's defensive footsteps are very good, he pushed Mintal so that he couldn't get close to the penalty area at all, although he was about ten centimeters shorter than the opponent, but outside the penalty area, Mintal's head was just a flash, not to mention that Pompon Louis behind Ritter was not the master of dry food.
Mintal: That's in a hurry! Seeing that Zhuo Yang had already scored two goals in his leisurely stroll, but he couldn't even draw a few long-range shots on his side, he could even see the ridicule on the corner of Handanovic's mouth. As the old saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and Mintar is just attacked by a hurry, and it is inevitable that the action will be a little big.
In the 40th minute of the first half, Mintal and Ritter faced each other, and his right foot was slammed into the sole nail of Ritter's shoe, and Ritter fell down with a tom, so you can imagine how hard Mintal used. The Slovak screamed and fell, hurting like a bastard.
Coach Wolfgang Wolff looked at the stretcher with a sad face and lifted Mintal, what does it mean to steal chickens and rice?
After the game, Mintal was diagnosed with a fracture of the fourth heel phalangeal bone in his right foot. When the core of the Slovak midfield lay in a hospital bed lamenting his fate, he never dreamed that this matter was not over, and that three, four or five phalanges would suffer in turn this season. It's all fate......
Nuremberg, who was already tired of resisting and suffering another injury and blow to the number one star, was even more chaotic, and in the 44th minute, after several pulls, Ibisevic faced the goalkeeper and passed the ball to Zhuo Yang in front of the empty goal. The ball is not passed very well, not Zhuo Yang's ideal small high ball, but the height of the crotch above the knee below the waist. In order to complete the hat-trick of left and right feet plus headers, Zhuo Yang had to bow his head and kneel down, and he threw the football into it very awkwardly.
Of course, Zhuo Yang won't play again in the second half, and Uncle Scumbag has a big temper. Helmers went up to play as a second centre-forward, Barnetara came back to step up front, and Madiburg remained untouched. However, today the whole team should show his face with Ritter.
Nuremberg's replacement for Mintal was Russian winger Sayenko, who moved from Karlsruhe in the Bundesliga at the beginning of the season, and he is no outsider, and it is this man who made Grandpa Mo lose three front teeth on the field two years ago. [For details, see Chapter 121 of Part 1 (II) Jianghu Brothers' Big Move]
It was a game in which the Six Musketeers avenged their brother Hasler, but at that time, Sayenko, who was bent on competing with Scar Ribery for the first left winger in the German Second Division, was very inopportune and brave and tenacious. First, his grandfather knocked out three front teeth with his shoulder, and then he was deliberately touched by Zhuo Yang, the butcher, and the little pig so that his mouth was bleeding. The scene at that time was unbearable to look back on.
Of course, the current Sayenko no longer has the mind to compare with Scar, which is now the world-famous first winger in the Premier League, and the Six Musketeers have all become his unattainable cloud existence. At that time, the eleven players involved in Madiburg were not on the field at this time, and no one knew what kind of immortal he was, and even Zhuo Yang had already forgotten him. The reason why a genius is a genius is because the brain never stores people and things that don't matter.
Sayenko is just a mediocre striker who wouldn't have made it to the first division for nothing, and Coach Wolf's replacement is a bit of a gamble with the club: see for yourself what you have brought in.
As expected, Sayenko didn't mention the attack after coming on, and he didn't even scratch his boots in front of the Madiborg defence. However, this buddy's consistent diligence and dedication are also worthy of praise. Sayenko actively counter-attacked in the front, who got the ball and he pounced on it was a cheerful, and his enthusiasm did not come to an abrupt end until the 70th minute of the second half, when Ritter's big foot clearance ball was directly wedged in the mouth of Saenko, who was fighting back.
As a result, two years ago, three expensive titanium dental implants were neatly spit out again.
Seeing that Sayenko, who was still bleeding with a large lump of cotton yarn, was forcibly ordered to leave the field by the referee, Zhuo Yang, who was wrapped in a down coat and was talking to Edmund, always felt that this scene seemed similar.
However, it was not the end of the game, as Wagfeld, who had replaced Sayenko, was kicked out of his right leg by Ritter in a scramble, and the midfielder, who was in the top three at Nuremberg in terms of salary but in the bottom three, was also lifted.
So far, Sasha Ritter, an all-round player in the midfield and backfield of Madiburg, former captain of the German U21 national team and former captain of the Madiburg B team, has supported three opposing players one after another in one game and completed an alternative hat trick. In the end, Madiburg thrashed Nuremberg 4-1 away, with Debich and Kiellings, both 20 years old, scoring a goal for their respective teams in the second half.
At noon the next day, Nuremberg FC president Michael Roth announced that head coach Wolfgang Wolff, who had been in charge for more than two seasons, was out of class and that the team would start emergency procedures to find a new manager.
This is the second incident of a coach being sacked in the Bundesliga this season.
