Despite Fink's encouragement at half-time, the morale of the Hamburg players was noticeably much higher than it was in the first half. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

However, due to the lack of one player on the field, after the start of the second half, the Hamburg team still chose a more secure defensive counterattack.

In addition, because of Son Heung-min's dismissal, the Hamburg team's wing attack appeared a serious "left/tilt" situation. Although Feng Quan will move to the right side from time to time to try to break through, for Feng Quan, who is more accustomed to moving on the left side, the threat created by moving to other positions is relatively weak.

So, after more than ten minutes of thinking, Fink made a "bold" attempt.

With 16 minutes into the second half, Fink replaced the team's starting centre-forward Rudneaves with Best, who can adapt to both the forward center and the right winger positions.

Then, when Best came on the pitch, he was allowed to play on the right wing, thus creating a "strikerless formation" similar to that of Barcelona......

In fact, the reason why Fink made such an adjustment was really helpless.

Although with the continuous enrichment of game experience and the "learning" of Van der Vaart, Feng Quan's understanding of football has also risen to a new level. But in any case, the large area to the left of the front court is the stage where Feng Quan can give full play to his strength.

Although it is easier to disrupt the opponent's defensive setup by switching to the middle or right side, in any case, only the most suitable stage can allow the "artist" to show his full strength.

Moreover, if it is only based on constant movement and positioning, the Schalke 04 team only needs to send one or two players to follow Feng Quan's side all the time, and it doesn't care whether he stays on the left side or moves to other areas.

Therefore, only by trying to maintain the relative balance of the two wing corridors can the team's attacking problems be truly solved.

As a result, Fink thought of trying a "strikerless formation" style of play, as Barcelona did. In fact, even the Barcelona team is not a "strikerless formation" in the true sense of the word.

Although David Villa has a wide range of activities, and compared to other "center" players, he does have more speed, flexibility, and ability to dribble through the dribble. But more often in attack, the characteristics of cruising in the middle of the box and his excellent nose in front of goal are the final proof of what he thinks is a "goalmouth killer".

Perhaps, the risk profile of the Hamburg team is not comparable to that of the strong Barcelona team, but it is still possible to find some players with similar characteristics and try the same tactics. That's why Fink dared to make a similar attempt.

While putting Bister on the right winger, he put Van der Vaart back up front.

At the same time, since Feng Quan's biggest threat still comes from his relationship with the breakthrough, Fink made the following detailed deployment before Best's debut:

First of all, when Feng Quan is ready to break through from the left flank, Van der Vaart has to move closer to him and be ready to respond. Best, who plays the role of left winger, must quickly move closer to the middle of the penalty area and take on the role of grabbing the center.

At the same time, Badelli and Arslan, who play as the team's midfielders, have one in midfield ready to defend at any time, and the other must be ready to step forward near the penalty area.

Secondly, when Byster is on the right side, Feng Quan has to move closer to the middle, ready to respond. Then decide whether to break through directly from the middle, or link up with Van der Vaart and other midfield teammates to tear apart the opposition's defence. If you are within 30 meters of the opponent's goal, you may be able to shoot directly from distance.

Sure enough, with Fink's adjustment, not only did the defensive pressure on the Hamburg team decrease, but at the same time, the threat to the Schalke 04 team's goal also increased in the attack.

The reason for this result, in addition to the appearance of Beist in the position of right winger, helped Feng Quan share a certain amount of breakthrough pressure, but also "liberated" Van der Vaart's organizational ability.

That's right, with Van der Vaart's ability, he can indeed adapt to the responsibilities of a central midfielder or even a midfielder. But in the final analysis, in the entire world football, the only player who can perfectly complete the task of "front and back" is Pirlo.

Van der Vaart may have been even better defensively than Andrea Pirlo, but unlike the Italian, who is better at finding gaps on the pitch with his wide vision and delivering shells to his teammates with precise mid-length passes. Van der Vaart, who is slightly inferior in the big picture, is better at organising the team's attack through small areas or within 25 meters, passing and cutting combinations.

Moreover, unlike Pirlo, who is good at finding open spaces and then using mid-length passes to deliver shells to his teammates, Van der Vaart prefers to "get closer" to the opponent's penalty area and help his teammates find breakthroughs by "passing the ball".

Therefore, only by getting Van der Vaart up front and closer to the opposition penalty area can he fully play to his strengths.

In the 27th minute of the second half, Schalke 04's Farfan crossed the ball near the bottom line on the right side, which was pushed out of the penalty area by Bruma first.

Badelli, who had been guarding near the top of the penalty area, held the ball steady and quickly passed it to Arslan next to him.

Arslan took a step forward from the ball before Draxler and Afelai pounced on his right and front, respectively. Seeing that it was difficult to continue to push forward, he passed the ball back to the feet of Badelli.

At the same time that Badelli received the pass, Van der Vaart, who had been cruising near the halfway line, had also retreated to his own half and quickly moved closer to Badelli to prepare for the pick-up.

So, when Schalke 04's defender Neustadt pounced on Badelli who had the ball, Badelli and Van der Vaart made a wall-hitting combination, and easily got rid of the opponent's entanglement. Then, when Neustadt came back again, Badelli passed the ball to Van der Vaart, who was temporarily unmarked.

Van der Vaart, who received the pass, first took a few steps forward, and when he found that Jermaine Jones, who had been "sticking" to Feng Quan, was getting closer and closer to the penalty area, he "gave up" the help defense of Feng Quan and pounced on Van der Vaart instead.

However, just when Jermaine Jones was only four or five metres away from his "new target", Van der Vaart suddenly crossed the ball to the left wing.

As a result, Jermaine Jones, who didn't have time to "brake", had to watch the football roll past him not far away, but he couldn't change the trajectory of the football......

——————

Because the Hamburg team put on a "no-striker formation" at this time, the defenders of the Schalke 04 team "expected" that Fengquan would inevitably choose to break through in the direction of the penalty area, and then wait for a good opportunity to shoot.

As a result, the Japanese player Atsuto Uchida, who was responsible for keeping an eye on the wind, deliberately "exposed" the flaws in the direction of the bottom line, and stuck in the position of the inside line to guard against the opponent's inward cut.

At the same time, centre-back Kyriakos Papadopoulos also moved his position a little higher in order to quickly complete the task of complementing the defense after Atsushi Uchida was breached.

However, they obviously "underestimated" Feng Quan's physical ability. Who has a rule that a winger must cross into the box after he has gone down? It's just that after breaking through to the vicinity of the baseline, the area that can be moved becomes small, and it is difficult to continue to break through to the penalty area, so most wide players will choose to cross "not for merit but for no fault".

"Humph! Since you let me go to the bottom, I will fulfill your good intentions! ”

Seeing that the other party deliberately "sent" the direction of the bottom line to himself, Feng Quan sneered in his heart, first made a bicycle movement with his right foot, and then used the outside of his left foot to move the football in the direction of the bottom line.

Although he had already "guessed" that Feng Quan would choose to break through in the direction of the baseline, after all, the defender was still at a disadvantage in one-on-one. Coupled with Feng Quan's speed and explosiveness, which was enough to "crush" the earthlings, it was not until he had been thrown away by Feng Quan that he barely completed the action of turning around and chasing back.

However, just after Atsuto Uchida had completed his turn and chased two steps forward, Kazequan suddenly made a sharp stop, and then flicked the ball with his right foot, and the football obediently "drilled" through the Japanese's legs that were running back and forth.

Then, before Atsuto Uchida could stop the momentum of his body, Feng Quan's left foot kicked the ground and chased in the direction of the football.

In the face of Papadopoulos, who came to the defense, Feng Quan did not try to control the ball, but suddenly made a forward sliding tackle, and then swept the ball to Van der Vaart, who was already ambushed outside the penalty area, before colliding with the opponent.

Before Feng Quan's pass could reach his control, Van der Vaart quickly swung his left leg backwards and fired a long-range shot.

As a result, Schalke 04's defensive core Hweedes, and the defender Neustadt, who is responsible for keeping an eye on Defat, slid towards Van der Vaart from the front and the right respectively.

However, just as Van der Vaart's left foot was about to touch the football, he suddenly changed the powerful volley that the opponent had expected to be a light button. Then, when he dunked the ball to the right side of his body, he then pushed the ball to the right side of the box with the inside of his right foot.

The next moment, because Schalke 04's left wing-back Fuchs was attracted by the attention of Bayster cruising nearby, when Badelli stepped forward into the box and received Van der Vaart's pass, he was not entangled by any defender.

So much so that Bardelli even had time to think, "Should I pass the ball?" It's still time to shoot straight to ......", Schalke 04 goalkeeper Hildebrand, and Fuchs, who "gave up" Byster, reacted and pounced in the direction where Badelli was.

However, after only "thinking" for less than half a second, Bardelli already had the answer in his mind.

Seeing that Fuchs was less than 3 metres away from him, Badelli slammed the ball to his left with his right foot. Then, after a slight adjustment, he directly hit the goal with the inside of his left foot.

Although after seeing Badelli shoot with his feet, Hildebrand forced a stop to his body's momentum and pounced on the left side of the goal at the first time.

But Hildebrand, who was soaring in the air and stretched his body to the extreme, had no choice but to look at the football flying in mid-air, wiping his fingertips and flying towards the upper left corner of the goal.

The moment the ball hit the net, referee Hank blew the whistle for the goal and made a gesture with his fingers in the middle circle.

Outside the court at this time, Fink, who had been standing nervously in the coach's command area, was also excitedly waving his right fist.

Moments later, when Fink saw the hero of the team's equaliser, Badelli was first "pushed" to the ground by Bayster, then Van der Vaart, Arslan, Dickmeier, and finally Dickmeier celebrated the goal with a stack of arhats, and his face couldn't help but smile with relief.

Especially when he saw the "cunning" grinning, the last one to jump up and stack the arhat turned out to be Feng Quanshi, and the team's assistant coach Lars Bittencourt, who was standing next to Fink, even laughed "presumptuously".

"Hey! Speaking of which, that Chinese kid is really a bit 'cunning', old man. When he scores, he runs faster than a rabbit, and when others score, even if he is the last to press up......"

Hearing this, Fink couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, old man, don't you like his cunning?" Although the odds are very small, there are people who have been injured when celebrating the goal......

Although he has never said it himself, he has already created a terrifying 35 goals for the team after joining the team for half a season, and has actually become the "spiritual leader of the team" in Fink's heart......

——————

Although the Schalke 04 team playing at home has a numerical advantage, due to the threat of Fengquan's feared speed, the head coach of the Schalke 04 team, Jens Keller, while moving the team's formation forward, also sent Jermaine Jones and Atsushi Uchida to stick to Fengquan's side to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.

Not only that, but to be on the safe side, Jens Keller also asked the team's defensive core Hevedez to keep an eye on the movements of Feng Quan.

"Wherever the Chinese moves, you move in the direction of that area so that you can help defend the ...... at any time."

In this way, although it basically limited the play of Feng Quan, it also caused the Schalke 04 team to be unable to form a numerical advantage in the Hamburg team's home field.

Therefore, despite taking the absolute initiative on the field, until the moment when referee Hank blew the final whistle, Schalke 04 team failed to knock on the door of the Hamburg team again......
