Chapter 211: Beginning to Bear Strength

After scoring the first goal, the Hoffenheim team quickly entered the rhythm of the game of "shrinking the defense and waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack". Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The Hamburg team, which was playing at home, quickly launched a fierce attack after conceding the goal. However, the "missing" of my main player in the starting line-up, coupled with the fact that almost all the players of the Hoffenheim team were huddled near the penalty area, until the end of the first half, they could not knock on the visitors' goal.

At the start of the second half, Fink replaced the underperformers of the first half, Petrjiracek and Marcusberg, with the "Asian pair" of Feng Quan and Son Heung-min.

Although the Hamburg team has made a more obvious improvement in attack after the debut of the "Asian combination", however, in the case of Hoffenheim team not hesitating to give up the team's right side attack, so as to arrange two players to always follow Feng Quan, and also let a midfielder ready to help defend at any time, even if Feng Quan can barely rely on the advantage of speed and dribbling skills to get rid of the opponent's entanglement, but never get the opportunity to cut inside the penalty area to hit the goal as usual.

In desperation, Feng Quan had no choice but to switch positions with Son Xingmin, so as to get rid of the entanglement of the two wing players of the Hoffenheim team.

Unfortunately, what made him a little speechless was that even if he came to the middle after switching positions with Son Xingmin, the midfielder from the United States of Hoffenheim (Daniel Williams) was still like a dog skin plaster, "sticking" to his side.

In addition, because Hoffenheim except for Firmino, who has the advantage of speed, continued to stay in the Hamburg team's half of the field and waited for the opportunity to counterattack, the remaining ten players almost all retreated to the vicinity of the penalty area. Therefore, when Feng Quan switched to the middle, he felt that the middle of the field, where five or six defenders were gathered, seemed to be more difficult to break through than the left side where he was originally cruising.

However, for Williams' close defense, Feng Quanquan didn't care either. After all, he follows his side, which means that his teammates are likely to be in other areas, forming a situation of "playing more and playing less".

In fact, the reason why Feng Quan chose to switch positions with Son Xingmin is also to hope that he can attract the attention of the opponent's defense as much as possible, so as to open up more space for other teammates.

However, to Fengquan's surprise, in addition to Williams, who kept following him all the time. As long as he doesn't enter the Hoffenheim 30-metre zone, the other opposing players in the middle will not come forward to close him at all, but will remain stuck inside and outside the box.

Once the wind is inside Hoffenheim's 30-metre zone, at least two opposing players will step forward to join Williams in the circle.

The reason why Hoffenheim's head coach Babel made such an arrangement is entirely because he did his homework on Feng Quan before the game.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Although Feng Quandao has only played two Bundesliga games so far. However, two goals in two games, plus two assists, still made Babel have to be extra wary of him.

Therefore, in order to be able to curb Feng Quan's play, Babbel did not hesitate to give up his attack on the right wing, but also to strangle his assault on the wing.

Although Babbel seemed to "let down" his guard against him after the wind switched to the middle lane, leaving Williams alone to entangle him. But in fact, the reason why Babel did this was entirely because he felt that after the wind switched to the middle, he was almost no different from the ordinary "front midfielder" player.

Moreover, Feng Quan, who does not "have" the ability to shoot from a distance, has almost no other "ability" other than to divide the ball to the two wings or send a through ball into the penalty area.

Because of this, as long as the wind does not enter the 30-meter area of the Hoffenheim team, he will not be besieged. Once the wind is in the 30-metre zone, Hoffenheim's defenders will quickly close him to prevent him from breaking through into the box.

As a result, Feng Quan, who had no choice but to break through the Hoffenheim team's defense, chose to distribute the ball to two teammates on the wing.

However, because Hamburg don't have a tall and talented header in the middle of the box, even if Son Heung-min and Best can tear through Hoffenheim's wide defence, their wide crosses will be difficult to create a killing effect in the box.

Moreover, in the case of the opponent's intensive defense in front of the penalty area, it was difficult for Son Heung-min and Best to complete the in-cut shot after the side breakthrough.

So, despite having more than 70 per cent possession in the first 15 minutes of the second half, Hamburg were unable to create even a single chance to really threaten the opposition goal.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

After a lot of effort, Son Xingmin finally broke through the defense of the other two with difficulty and came to the bottom line on the left side.

However, just as Son was about to continue his breakthrough into the box, Andreasbeck, who had just escaped from the left behind him, was once again in the way of his breakaway.

"This damn guy is really tough!"

Although he was full of "resentment" towards Baker in his heart, Sun Xingmin also had to admit that it was difficult to completely get rid of the other party's marking by himself!

Because at this time, another midfielder of the Hoffenheim team, Sebastianrudy (Sebastianrudy), has also quickly moved closer to his relationship, and in desperation, Son Xingmin had to give up the idea of continuing to break through to the penalty area, and instead sent a cross to the direction of the opponent's goal.

It's a pity that although Son Heung-min's cross to the back of the goal landed well, but in the face of Hoffenheim's 1.93-meter-tall central defender Matthieudelpierre (Matthieudelpierre), who is only 1.78 meters tall, Rudneves had to watch the opponent press himself and take the first step to push the football out of the penalty area.

Although Rudneevs did not grab the first point, because Rudeneves in the penalty area and Feng Quan standing near the penalty area almost attracted most of the attention of the Hoffenheim players, Byster, who had been quietly ambushed on the right side, got the second drop point of the football in the right side of the penalty area line.

However, because Baist stopped the ball with his chest, he parked the ball a little further away from his body. Therefore, he had to make a slight adjustment before making the next step.

Just as Best finished adjusting, two Hoffenheim defenders also quickly pounced in his direction.

In desperation, Byster, who wanted to break into the opponent's penalty area and then complete the goal, or directly create the opponent's foul, had to force a strong volley near the line of the big penalty area. Even if the ball doesn't go in, it's better than being cut off by the opponent.

The next moment, I saw the football hit Williams, flew high and was easily picked up by Hoffenheim's goalkeeper Timwiese.

After seeing that his long-range shot failed to pose a threat to the other party, Byster, who was a little annoyed, had no choice but to kick the turf in front of him as if venting......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Although Byster's long-range shot did not create much of a threat, it made Feng Quan, who had been ambushed near the top of the arc of the penalty area, feel bright.

So, Feng Quan took advantage of an opportunity for his side to serve a sideline ball, came to Sun Xingmin's side, and leaned into his ear and whispered something.

At the beginning, when Feng Quan finished speaking, Sun Xingmin's face still had a trace of hesitation. However, when he saw the confident expression on Feng Quan's face, he made an "OK" gesture to Feng Quan.

Immediately after, Feng Quan quickly ran to the right side and whispered a few words to his teammate Byster.

After Baist made the same "OK" gesture, Feng Quan ran towards Arslan, who was standing near the center circle.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

In the 21st minute of the second half, after receiving a pass from RincΓ³n, who replaced Badelli, near the center circle, Feng Quan got rid of Williams' defense with a simple change of direction.

However, just as Feng Quan was about to enter the 30-meter area of the Hoffenheim team, he saw that the two defenders of the opposing team had quickly rushed towards him.

Immediately afterward, a sly smile appeared on Feng Quan's face, and he ran diagonally with the ball in the direction of the right side of Best.

The next moment, when the two Hoffenheim players who were standing near the top of the penalty area and Williams walked towards Feng Quan, Feng Quan suddenly made a sudden stop and passed the ball to the feet of Arslan, who was a little further back.

And when passing the ball to Arslan, Feng Quan also quietly glanced at the opponent.

Seeing Feng Quan's glance at him, a faint smile appeared on Arslan's face, and he used his right foot to dunk the ball to the left side of his body, and when Feng Quan switched positions with Baist again, and when he came to the right side, he sent a low flat ball in the direction of the left side of the front court.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

After receiving Arslan's ball on the left side of the frontcourt, Son Heung-min first made two feints to step on the bicycle and then burst in the direction of the baseline.

At the same time, Byster, who was still cruising in front of the Hoffenheim penalty area, and Arslan, who passed the ball to Son Heung-min, quickly rushed towards the front and back points of the goal.

Hamburg's only starting striker, Rudneves, came to the area between the penalty spot and the goal area. At this point, the players of the Hamburg team were in front of the opponent's goal, forming a three-ghost shooting trend.

When Son Heung-min dribbled the ball to a position less than two meters from the baseline, he quickly swung his left leg backwards and made a gesture ready to cross into the penalty area.

Just when Hoffenheim's full-back Andres Baker stretched his right leg forward to block Son Xingmin's cross, Son Xingmin was about to touch the left foot on the football, but suddenly pulled the ball behind him, and then quickly completed the turn, and used his usual right foot to complete a cross.

However, when the Hoffenheim defenders focused their attention on the three Hamburg players in the penalty area, the football from Son Heung-min unexpectedly flew towards the top of the penalty area slightly to the right.

The next moment, when the Hoffenheim players turned their bodies and were about to rush in the direction of the football landing point, they saw that Feng Quan, who had been ambushing on the right side before, had already appeared near the landing point of the football like a ghost.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Feng Quan lightly unloaded the ball with his right foot, and then used the outside of his right foot to flick the ball horizontally, and after dodging a little angle, he completed a powerful shot with his right foot and instep directly at a distance of about 21 meters from the goal.

Immediately after, when the football makes a "bangβ€”β€”! After a muffled sound, it whistled like a cannonball towards the Hoffenheim goal.

Although the speed of Feng Quan's shot looked a little terrifying, the angle of the shot was a bit positive. Therefore, Tim Wiese, who was already standing well, opened his arms slightly, and his face did not have the slightest panic to welcome the football flying into his arms.

However, before the football could fly into Tim Wiese's arms, Rudenevs, who had been ambushed near the penalty spot, suddenly started in an instant, and after shaking off Del Pierre, who was in charge of marking himself, came to the line where the football flew. Then, when there were still four or five meters between the football and Tim Wiese, he struggled forward and stretched out his right foot to block and change the course of the football's flight.

Although Rudneevs only blocked the ball with his right foot, because the power of Feng Quan's shot was too great, Rudneves, who was standing steadily, was driven by the momentum of the football, and his whole body rotated 90 degrees to the left, and then the whole person fell into the penalty area.

The next moment, the football, which was blocked by Rudenevs's outstretched leg, flew towards the right side of the Hoffenheim goal.

Although Tim Wiese, who reacted quickly, made a save in the direction of the right side of the goal, he was unable to prevent the ball from drilling into his own goal when he was so close.

Then, before he could be "knocked down" by the football just now, Rudneevs got up from the lawn and was crushed under Byster, who quickly rushed to his side. Then, I saw Arslan, Son Xingmin, Byst, and Fengquan several young Hamburg players, who also pressed up.

Although Rudneves, who is the "foundation" of the stacked Arhats, was pressed by several teammates and had some difficulty breathing. But when he heard the cheers of the spectators in the stands, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

At the moment when the football flew into the Hoffenheim goal, Fink, who had been suppressed for more than an hour, slammed his fist and jumped up from the coach's box.

Then, as several of Hamburg's attacking players celebrated the hard-won goal in a stacked manner, Fink turned around and walked in the direction of assistant coach Lars Bittencourt.

The next moment, the palms of the two "collided" together.

Immediately afterwards, Fink said to Lars-Bittencourt with a smile on his face, "Haha, Lars, it seems that I owe you a favor again." ”

"And how are you supposed to thank me?" Lars-Bittencourt asked, tilting his head.

In fact, Fink should really thank his old partner, if it wasn't for his long-range shot, I'm afraid it would have been really difficult for the Hamburg team to break through the opponent's iron bucket formation today.

"If we can finish in the top six after the halfway point of the Bundesliga, then I'll treat you to a beer ...... once a week until the end of the season" (To be continued. )
