Chapter 36: Does This Guy Really Use Serious Defense?
St. Pauli locker room.
Zhen Shaolong became the most popular, and when he walked in, even several unfamiliar teammates took the initiative to wave and greet him, including the star Jonny Sulentic.
Sulentik gave a thumbs up, "Your goal was so beautiful, I didn't expect it at all." β
Zhen Shaolong smiled and nodded.
The rest of the people were talking about the game, about the goals, and Jean, who was loud, shouted, "If you want me to say, the coach shouldn't give up the game, maybe we can win?" Now we're ahead. β
He looked at Bol, "Fabian, you talk to the coach, play in the second half, with you, we have a better chance of winning." β
Many teammates nodded their heads.
Most of the time, Jean struggled to get support, but this time he said to his teammates, "We're all ahead, why not go for the win?" β
The door opened.
Bergman walked in.
Everyone in the locker room looked over, and when Bergman was outside the door, he heard Jean's words, or pretended not to hear them, but the smile on his face turned serious, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the atmosphere relaxed, "In the first half, we played very well, and we could lead the opponent, to be honest, I didn't expect it." β
Everyone laughed.
"It's thanks to Zhen." Bergman looked at Zhen Shaolong and praised it rarely, "That goal is beautiful...... It's also weird. He said and shook his head.
Bergman wanted to see Zhen Shaolong's ability to catch the opportunity, but that goal did not show it, the opportunity was created by himself, and even said that it was not a chance at all, but Zhen Shaolong sent the ball into the goal with a strange shot.
That's luck, right?
Bergman can't be 100% sure that it's luck, but no matter what you think, you can only say luck, let alone in a game, even in training, it's very difficult to kick a shot like that, right?
Bergman didn't talk about 'fighting for victory' or anything like that, but he seriously explained the way he played in the second half and told the team to do a good job of defense.
Also, he said about the front line, "Felix, you have to be involved in defense. β
"Zhen, you stay in front."
This is to divide the game responsibilities for the two.
Felix Luz was unconvinced, and normally when the team played passively, he would be the player up front.
This game is different.
Zhen Shaolong didn't retreat to defend at all, when the team was very passive, he was forced to retreat a little, and he also wanted to talk to Bergman to let Zhen Shaolong retreat more to participate in the defense, but he didn't expect the coach to let him retreat.
Bergman ignored Felix, not particularly taking care of Zhen Shaolong, mainly because Luz's performance was not good.
The last time Luz scored, I don't know when I want to recall it, Zhen Shaolong is a new player, but in his first appearance, he scored two goals for the team.
Now the team can lead the opponent, and it is also Zhen Shaolong's goal.
Whoever scores a goal performs well!
Even if it's luck!
ββββ
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and after Bergman explained the tactics and some game-related questions, the players didn't feel any time to rest and returned to the pitch.
The players of both teams took their positions, and as the referee blew the whistle, the second half officially began.
Bergmann doesn't talk about "fighting for victory", but he represents ideas with actions.
Two minutes into the second half, Fabian Bol was substituted.
After that came Robert Billyguca.
Fabian Bor, who plays as a central midfielder, adapts to the right side of the position, can also play as a right-sided midfielder, and he is the best combination for St. Pauli in the middle of the pitch with Sulentik.
Robert Biliguca is the main left midfielder, and the purpose of replacing him on the field must be to make up for Kreuzer's appearance, and the lack of defense on the left side can also play a certain role in supporting the attack on the left side.
The two main players came out, which improved St. Pauli's strength.
However, compared with the powerful Bochum team, St. Pauli only played more steadily, and the overall strength was still at a disadvantage, and the game situation was still very suppressed.
For the most part, football was still in Bochum's control, and they launched attack after attack in the hope of equalising as soon as possible.
Zhen Shaolong is still in front.
When St. Pauli attacked, he followed the whole to adapt to the run, constantly looking for positions and opportunities, and the rest of the time he stood there and watched Bochum attack the back.
At this point in the game, it became very difficult for Zhen Shaolong to participate in the defense.
Because...... The physical strength can't keep up.
Zhen Shaolong's physical fitness is the worst in the team, his endurance is only 43 points, if he wants to stick to the whole court, try not to run if he can, and occasionally sprint back and forth, he will be tired and out of breath, he doesn't want to be replaced because of cramps.
When Zhen Shaolong ran less, Sanvini's defense became much easier.
Since Zhen Shaolong scored in the first half, Sanwini has been by his side most of the time, perhaps because St. Pauli's offensive is not violent, only three or four players come forward each time the attack, and the Bochum defense has a sufficient numerical advantage.
Now Zhen Shaolong's physical fitness is a little unable to keep up, Sang Wini can see it, and he can't help but doubt his approach, "Does this guy really use serious defense?" β
"My body is very poor, my skills are average, and I can't even do ...... physical fitness"
Sanwini was a little unconcerned again.
However, he didn't care in his heart, and it didn't show in action, he still kept following Zhen Shaolong, because Bochum's defense was too easy, and he had nothing else to do.
In the 63rd minute of the game, St. Pauli finally played a good offensive wave.
The attack was launched from the left wing.
Robert Biliguca was quick, he dribbled across the halfway line and then passed the ball to Kreuzer in front of him, who drove the ball towards the baseline, but in the end the ball was broken by the opposing defender.
St. Pauli won a corner.
Kreuzer walked to the corner flagpole to prepare for a free throw, and Luz, Zhen Shaolong and Bol ran to the penalty area to fight for the spot.
This time, Zhen Shaolong knew how to stand.
Luz is the team's centre-forward, but also a big man, the main player in the header, standing in the middle.
Bol is a midfielder who is responsible for outflanking the back post.
Zhen Shaolong only needs to stand in front of the point and wait for the opportunity, under normal circumstances, unless it is a tactical corner, it is difficult to have any chance at the front point.
Kreuzer has good footwork, and the football he kicks finds in the middle.
Luz jumps up and heads the ball!
"Look at this corner! Find the middle-" With the shouts of the commentator Esfeld, no one noticed that Zhen Shaolong ran towards the goal.
The next moment--
Luz's header hits the crossbar!
The next thing everyone in the audience saw was that the ball bounced outward at 45 degrees, happened to hit the head of a black-haired player, and then turned to bounce into the goal.
"Hula......"
There was a commotion in the auditorium, which immediately turned into cheers from the fans.
The next shout from the narrator Esfeld became, "Look! The ball went inββ!! β
"St. Pauli has broken through the gates of Bochum again!"
"The score became 2-0, this time we can see very clearly, it is still the Chinese player Zhen on the 13th, I think his full name should be pronounced - Zhen Shaolong!"
"Zhen, Zhen! He scored twice to help St. Pauli score the second goal! β
