Chapter 136: Pizarro: I must learn this trick!

Hauk Brückner, midfielder. Wild Sand Literature Network

Elcha Biltez, right midfielder.

"Switching from midfielder to right midfielder?" A substitution adjustment that makes some sense, anyone with a discerning eye can see the meaning behind it.

On the St. Pauli field is a 442 formation.

Among the two midfielders, Sulentic is the core of the formation, attacking and defending well, and can be counted as a midfielder, plus Brückner, it is equivalent to having two midfielders, even if Bor is counted as a right midfielder, the formation has become a strange 4222.

If Sulentik is considered a striker, Bol is counted as a right-sided player, and the formation becomes 4132.

These two formations can only be said, but in fact they are completely unformed.

Bergmann's substitution adjustments were completely unjustifiable, and would have confused St. Pauli's formation, and it made more sense to replace Luz with Brückner.

But Luz didn't end up.

This shows one point: Bergman did not completely give up the attack, he gave up the frontal advance, and without the support of the normal formation, the frontal advance will encounter the embarrassment of 'there is a position but no player', and it will be difficult to threaten.

After the substitution adjustment, St. Pauli's style of play is more inclined to defense, and it cannot be said that it is completely rigid, but Brückner, Sulentik and Bor, three central players are at the front of the district, which can greatly strengthen the thickness of the district defense.

Various media are also discussing the substitution --

'Brückner is a good midfielder, he has a tough style and will greatly enhance the ability to fight for the front of the district.

"After this adjustment, St. Pauli has lost the ability to play head-on!"

"St. Pauli is going to defend it!"

"Against the mighty Bayern, this is also a last resort!"

“……”

As the game continued, the situation on the field also confirmed the judgment. St. Pauli attacked significantly less than in the first half, and most of their energy was focused on solid defense.

"It was the right decision!"

In the eyes of many, St. Pauli was right to choose to strengthen their defence, and no one would blame Bergmann for this, as the two sides are not teams of the same level.

For a weak team to win against a strong team, it must defend solidly.

At this point in the game, it was already a miracle that the two sides were drawn. If St. Pauli wants to seize their chances, the only way to do so is to strengthen their defense.

Hold on!

Drag on time!

It's best to drag on for 120 minutes and decide the winner in a penalty shootout!

This style of play sounds very negative, but the results of countless matches in the past have proved that only in this way can you have a chance to beat the strong teams, and those teams that let go of playing against the strong teams have mostly lost miserably, and it is not surprising that they have been abused by a large score.

When he saw St. Pauli dedicating himself to defense, even Bayern Munich, as an opponent, was not surprised at all.

That's normal.

It would be strange if St. Pauli continued to play head-on with them in the face of a tie.

That's not courage.

The only thing that can be explained is that the coaching ability of the opposing head coach is not qualified.

Everyone can understand that St. Pauli gave up the positive push and insisted on defending in order to fight for the hope of victory, but being able to understand does not mean that he can accept it.

As Bayern's head coach, Magath felt depressed.

He was watching the game with a headache.

St. Pauli was so focused on defending that with all the players retreating to the periphery of the zone, Bayern had to face a major test: breaking down the dense defence.

It's not easy for any team to 'break down a dense defence'.

When the opponent chooses to retreat across the board, it will cause a surge in the number of people in the vicinity of the zone, not to mention the players who are running, even if ten fixed pillars stand in front of the goal, they can block most of the angles.

How did the game come to be like this?

This is where Magath frustrated, Bayern had a chance to decide the winner at half-time, and they did well, scoring twice in 45 minutes.

But the other party's performance is also good.

No.

It should be said that the opponent's number 13 performed very well, and Karn was caught by the opponent on his only mistake.

The goal at the end of the first half surprised many players in the team.

At halftime, several players, led by Pizarro, were constantly experimenting with the 'back-heel slalom ball'. 'Back Turn', 'Crotch', 'Man Ball Split', and 'Back Heel Slalom Ball' are incredible to think about, and no one blames Lucio for being shaken away and conceding the ball, because anyone who suddenly faces that kind of pass is unlikely to react.

Regardless, Bayern conceded two goals.

At the start of the second half, Bayern did not have a single goal advantage and had to face the challenge of breaking down dense defence.

Fortunately, St. Pauli's strength is really poor.

From the first minute of the second half, football was completely controlled by Bayern, with more than 80% possession, so to speak, football has always been under Bayern's control, and St. Pauli has no room to fight back.

Most of the players in the St. Pauli team did not cross the halfway line for 20 minutes.

They've been defending, defending.

In the process of continuous defense, some St. Pauli players have performed remarkably, such as the new Brückner, who destroyed Bayern's cross twice in a row, but the most outstanding performance is the central defender Jean, and the TV commentator introduced Jean with 'St. Pauli's famous villain', so you can imagine how bad his reputation is.

A wicked man, with the ability of a wicked man.

Jean's defense is very tough, and his defensive skills are quite good, his strong body makes him stand out in terms of confrontation, and Nice Gao also has some air defense.

Pizarro was taken care of by Jean.

Even if Pizarro's level is quite outstanding, it is difficult to play against the dense defense of St. Pauli, he is not the kind of player who can score goals on his own, and he has not been able to touch the ball several times in a row under Jean's marking.

Jean couldn't defend Pizarro.

Even with the team's dense defense, Jean's performance was quite good.

Bayern's most active player is another striker, Roy Mackay, who is tall, physical, and technical, and still very active in the face of dense defense, creating two threats in the space of 20 minutes.

One is heading!

One is volleying!

Twice failed to score, but St. Pauli was also lucky, especially Mackay's volley on the right side, which hit goalkeeper Honarev's arms directly, as long as he deviated from the previous point, Honarev could not react.

In Bayern's fierce attack, most of the time, the camera camera points to the St. Pauli half, or even the regional range, but occasionally the camera will also point to the Bayern half.

There's only one St. Pauli player there --

Zhen Shaolong.

After the start of the second half, all the members of St. Pauli were on the defensive, and only Zhen Shaolong was in front, and he had no intention of participating in the defense at all.

St. Pauli did not attack for a long time, and Zhen Shaolong was still standing in front.

"Why didn't he go back?"

"The game is played like this, what's the use of standing in front?"

"St. Pauli should replace him!"

Those fans who know Zhen Shaolong said this, "Zhen is really calm!" He's always been like that, he's never been involved in defense! ”

"He's waiting for his chance!"

"Who's to say you don't have a chance? Maybe in the next minute, he was in front for a long time, but he never disappointed......"

In the eyes of the media and fans, Zhen Shaolong is like the mascot of St. Pauli, his luck has always been very good, as long as he stands on the field, St. Pauli's overall fortune will not be bad, in addition, even if he does not participate in the defense and has no contribution to the defense at all, but he has scored two goals, and no one else will contribute more than him.

The Bayern players felt it differently.

Bayern's players on the field do not agree with the media and fans, the 'mascot' is placed with useless things, but the opponent's No. 13, even if there is no performance, just standing in front makes Bayern feel like a fish in the throat.

He's a fishbone stuck in his throat!

Sharp fish bones!

If the game had started, they would definitely not have cared about Zhen Shaolong, but the two goals in the first half of the game were not scored by luck, even if the first goal was Kahn's mistake, but can the average striker seize that opportunity?

The second goal, not to mention, was a great individual performance!

Such a dangerous player must not let go of the front, even if the football is controlled by the feet of the Bayern players most of the time, they must also devote their energy to pay attention to defense, lest any accidents happen.

Without Zhen Shaolong, Bayern can attack with all their hearts.

With Zhen Shaolong, they must be distracted.

Bayern is very much looking forward to seeing Zhen Shaolong retreat to participate in the defense of the backfield with others.

It's a pity that the other party didn't.

Bayern's inability to attack with all their strength seemed to affect the efficiency of the attack, and they still failed to find the back of the net for 35 minutes in the second half.

Halfway through, St. Pauli's defense was also tough.

Again and again, the fouls, the conflicts, the crisis in front of the goal, every time the football is sent into the zone, it seems as if the next moment the goal will be breached, St. Pauli went through an extremely difficult half an hour, and they succeeded.

In the eighty-first minute of the game, St. Pauli finally played a wave of offensive, because of the long-term defense, even the formation on the field was not neat, and the offense naturally had no coordination at all.

This time it was on Philippe Albrecht.

In the face of the powerful Bayern Munich, Albrecht's technical strength has no advantage, the only thing he can rely on is the speed of dribbling, after receiving the pass, Albrecht rushed forward with the ball, he couldn't even stop, slowing down could mean being tackled.

Albrecht dribbled the ball to the bottom line, then applied a textbook brake and squeezed the ball backwards to shake Rahm away, but Rahm followed up with a kick to the ball.

Two on foot.

Football is kicked off the line!

Because Lahm was kicking outside the baseline, the referee awarded the ball to St. Pauli, who got a corner.

This is an extremely rare opportunity.

Since the start of the game, St. Pauli have only won two corners, the last time was in the first half, and now it is only the second.

Albrecht wants to kick the ball.

In the process of walking towards the corner flagpole, Albrecht noticed Zhen Shaolong's gesture, "Use ...... That tactic? He turned to look at Sulentik.

Sulentic nodded, and he also received the signal.

At the same time, Luz and Bor also received the signal, Luz couldn't help but pout, he had no confidence in 'that tactic' at all, but he still nodded secretly, even if he was not optimistic about 'that tactic' at all, but on the field, he didn't have enough say in the game.

In the match of St. Pauli, the most vocal ones were Sulentik and Zhen Shaolong.

Sulentic is the captain of the team and the best performer among the 'other players', so naturally he has a lot to say.

The other is Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong has the right to speak, the reason is the simplest, he is the team's number one player, his performance is very outstanding, and he is the key to winning most games.

Zhen Shaolong said that he wanted to cooperate, and Sulentic did not object, Albrecht, Luz, Bor, etc., naturally had an indifferent attitude.

Then give it a try!

"That tactic" was conceived by Zhen Shaolong, and it has not yet been named, because it has not been used in actual combat.

Even when training, the success rate is extremely slim.

Zhen Shaolong proposed to use it, and several other people did not object, the game has come to this point, everything depends on luck and on-the-spot performance, how to play is secondary.

And then everybody saw 'that tactic' --

When the referee signaled that he could take the penalty, Albrecht took two steps back, trotted forward and passed the ball to Sulentic, who had passed past him.

Luz ran diagonally out of the district, as if to pick up Sulentik.

Bol also ran towards the perimeter, but his direction was the other side.

Among the St. Pauli players, those who are good at fighting for high-altitude balls are Luz and Bor, but Zhen Shaolong was ignored, because his confrontation ability was not strong, and he was not outstanding high, and he was defended by Lucio, and there was almost no chance.

As soon as Luz and Bor ran, Bayern's defense naturally followed.

Meantime.

Zhen Shaolong seemed to be retreating, he took a few steps back, and Lucio immediately followed, but the moment Sulentik stopped the ball, he surged to the right.

This turn is a bit big.

Lucio reacted again, and he had already arrived after Zhen Shaolong.

That's when Sulentik poked the ball over.

Luz and Borr helped attract too much attention from the defence, Bayern were empty in front of goal, and even goalkeeper Kahn took two steps back and withdrew from the 'corner mode' position.

Zhen Shao only has Lucio on the side of the dragon.

Another defender who was closer was Demichelis, who was about to rush up to block, he gave up the defense of Luz and wanted to run over to block between Sulentik and the goal, but no one expected that Sulentic did not transfer the ball horizontally, or drove the ball to the middle with a big foot, but passed the ball to Zhen Shaolong, who threw away Lucio.

Demichelis couldn't stop the ball.

The purpose of "that tactic" is to let Zhen Shaolong get the ball in the corner of the community, and Zhen Shaolong and his teammates said, "If the defender doesn't keep up, he can turn the ball." ”

Indeed it is.

But Lucio reacted as soon as possible, and after blocking Zhen Shaolong, it was impossible for him to turn around.

So Zhen Shaolong's choice was to wait in the corner of the community and come with a back heel to meet the ball......

"Nirvana", triggered!

Next, all the players of Bayern really saw what is called a 'back-heel curve goal'.

In the process of rolling forward, the football encountered Zhen Shaolong's back heel, which instantly accelerated and rotated, and then the football successfully bypassed Lucio, who was completely unresponsive, with the trajectory of the front instep arc, and drilled into the bottom corner of the goal without hesitation.

It's not just Lucio who didn't react.

Kahn's vision was blocked, and he couldn't react, and by the time he noticed, the ball had already turned past the goal line.

That moment.

The movements of the players in front of the Bayern goal stopped, and everyone grew their mouths in surprise, as if they had seen the most amazing thing in the world.

"Heel arc?"

"It's really a heel arc! My God! I'm not dreaming! ”

"How is this done?"

"This guy's heel is not only capable of spinning, but also arcing...... How flexible is it? ”

In the midst of the shock, Pizarro exclaimed, shook his fists hard, and shouted firmly, "I must ...... Learn this trick! ”
