Chapter 257: As expected
In fact, before Rudeneves could finish his follow-up shot, the assistant referee on the sidelines had already raised the flag for offside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although the two Hamburg strikers only started to run towards the goal after seeing the "code" given by Feng Quan, the moment Feng Quan got rid of Kierst's kick shot, Rudnev was indeed slightly offside by about half a step.
Of course, the assistant referee would not raise the flag if Feng Quan's long-range shot directly broke the goal, but when the assistant referee saw that Rudeneves was about to make a supplementary shot, he did not hesitate to signal to the referee for offside.
However, although Rudenevs's follow-up shot was ruled offside. But when he unconsciously twisted him in the direction of the away team's bench, he still saw Fink smiling and giving him a thumbs up......

Although Hamburg failed to knock on the door of the opponent due to Rudneves' offside, Stuttgart also paid a big price for it.
At the end of the first half, Ulreich, who suffered some minor head injuries due to a collision with Rudneves, injured the elbow of his right arm because he was not fully prepared for Feng Quan's long-range shot.
Taking advantage of Rudenevs' shot being ruled offside, medical staff administered emergency treatment to Ulreich. However, after four or five minutes of treatment, Ulreich's right elbow joint still felt a very strong tingling sensation when he moved.
In desperation, Stuttgart's coach Labadia had to replace Ulreich, who was brave in the first half, with veteran goalkeeper Marc Ziegler, who was about to turn 37.
Although in the goalkeeper position, it is not unusual for an elderly player who is over 35 years old. However, for Mark Ziegler, who has been absent from the team for a long time and has been in a hurry, the pressure he needs to bear is undoubtedly very huge when the team is in a very passive situation.
Immediately after seeing Mark Ziegler on the bench, Fink gave his players the latest instructions to "speed up the tempo on the pitch and play from both flanks".
Fink, who has played with Mark Ziegler many times as a player, knows very well that Mark Ziegler and Ulreich are also 1.92 meters tall, but he often makes some inexplicable mistakes when handling high-altitude balls.
Because of this, Mark Ziegler, who had no less advanced skills than Oliver Kahn in his youth, not only was he never selected for the German national team, but even for most of his career, he could only play the role of "second goalkeeper" in the team he played for.
Mark Ziegler, who is now at the end of his career, has become less powerful with his physical fitness declining. Therefore, when faced with a high ball, he rarely chooses to abandon the goal. And when it comes time to have to deal with the high ball, he tends to be a little hesitant.
As a result, Fink believes that increasing the number of crosses from the wing is likely to force them to make more "low-level mistakes".
And as the game continued, the situation on the court seemed to be evolving little by little towards the script that Fink "wrote".
Halfway through the second half, Feng Quan, who switched positions with Son Heung-min and came to the right flank, forced an overtake with his superior speed advantage to get rid of the defense of left wing-back Molinaro, and sent a well-placed cross to the position of Cachar who was ambushed near the penalty spot.
Due to the slight loss in physical strength, even though he kept using small movements to push Kachar, who had already occupied an advantageous position, in the background, Tashcher, who had "done his best", did not get the result he wanted.
Seeing that his teammates couldn't help the "muscular man" Cachar, Mark Ziegler, who was not good at handling high-altitude balls, had no choice but to choose to attack
Although with the advantage of his height and "arm length", he took off the soccer ball flying in mid-air from the top of Kachar's head. However, due to the excessive momentum during the jump, after Mark Ziegler took the football from the air, he was unable to control his momentum and collided with Cachar, who was straight up and down without any superfluous movements in his hands.
Then, after a collision with Cachar, the football that had been picked off by Mark Ziegler "accidentally" slipped from his hands and onto the turf.
Because the place where the two collided was not in the small penalty area, the referee, who stood outside the penalty area without any interference in his line of sight, did not blow the whistle to stop the game, but only made a gesture to continue the game......

Due to the many drills that had been carried out in the pre-match training, when Feng Quan relied on his speed to force his way through Molinari's marking, Rudneves, who had been ambushing on the right side of the penalty area to meet Feng Quan, quickly approached slowly in the direction where Cachar was.
Then, just as the wind was up and sending a cross into the box, Rudnevs ran towards the small space between the penalty spot and the big penalty line.
According to the arrangement in the pre-match training, once Cachar has seized a good position, he has to ferry the ball to an open spot near him as much as possible, and then Rudenevs, who has a keen sense of smell in front of goal, decides whether to go directly to the gate at the first time, or to grab the second point and then "think long-term".
Unfortunately, although Kachar once again won an "easy" victory over Tashcher, he did not take advantage of the contest with Mark Ziegler.
At this time, if you switch to some strikers who are not very sensitive in "front of goal", after seeing that Mark Ziegler has taken off the ball in the air, he may have already begun to turn and run in the direction of his own half to help his team defend.
However, as early as Fink conveyed the instructions to "strengthen the crosses from the wings", Rudenevs had a strong feeling that Stuttgart's backup goalkeeper might really make a low-level mistake.
Not only that, but when Mark Ziegler picked off the football in the air, Rudneevs had an "inexplicable" feeling in his mind that "the opportunity has come".
So, even though Mark Ziegler took off the football with both hands, Rudneevs did not hesitate to rush towards the predetermined position as he did in pre-match training.
The next moment, just as Rudnev "expected", the football "slipped unexpectedly" from Mark Ziegler's hands, and fell in front of him like a ghost.
Then, Rudenevs's right foot took the lead to cross the ball, dodged a little space, and curled a shot from the inside of his left foot into the top left corner of the unguarded goal.
With the "close contact" between the football and the net, the referee standing outside the penalty area also blew the whistle in his hand and made a gesture to score a goal.
Although several players of the Stuttgart team immediately surrounded the referee in the middle, hoping that the referee would withdraw the valid penalty for the goal on the grounds that Cachar had charged the goalkeeper.
But unfortunately, the Stuttgart players' arguments not only failed to get the results they wanted, but instead allowed Martin Harnik, who was the most fiercely defended, to receive a needless yellow card.
In the 23rd minute of the second half, Hamburg finally broke the deadlock with a goal from Rudneves...... (To be continued.) )
