Chapter 235: Northern Derby (2)
Brumma, who pulled a goal back for Hamburg, immediately ran to Bremen goalkeeper Militz and threw himself on Janssen, who fell to the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After Bruma first pulled up Janssen who had fallen on the lawn, he hugged each other warmly. Immediately afterwards, the other Hamburg players also gathered around to celebrate the hard-won goal with the two of them.
Although Hamburg was still a goal behind, head coach Fink, who was standing on the sidelines, smiled with relief when he saw Bruma and Janssen hugging each other.
"If nothing else, this game is a winning ......"
ββββββ
After pulling back the goal, Hamburg's morale was boosted, and after the game restarted, the pressing in front of the court also increased a few points. Even Feng Quan, who has always been inactive in pressing, seems to have become a "fighting dog", starting from the opponent's 30-meter area, pressing the Bremen team's back line.
Due to the Hamburg team's extremely pressing in the front, the Bremen team could not delay the game time by constantly falling in the middle and back, so as to maintain the score advantage until the end of the game. can only rely on long passes to counterattack frequently in the attack, to seek offensive breakthroughs.
Although Bremen's striker No. 24 Nilspetersen is in good physical condition (1.86m tall and weighs 80kg), he also has a certain ability to head the ball. However, compared to the two central defenders of the Hamburg team, it is difficult to bargain. Especially in the scramble for headers, he was abused very badly by the physically strong Bruma.
As a result, under the ferocious pressing of the Hamburg team, the Bremen team only had to shrink back and be beaten passively.
ββββββ
Due to the fact that the Bremen team's defense was too tight, the Hamburg team had the absolute initiative on the field. But it's not easy to really equalize or overtake the score.
However, fortunately, Van der Vaart, the core of the team's midfield, has returned from injury, otherwise, if he encounters the Bremen team's relenting defense before he pays, Hamburg may need the favor of the goddess of fate if they want to score.
With Van der Vaart's midfield scheduling, coupled with the "Asian combination" of Feng Quan and Son Xingmin, the continuous impact on the two wings, the seemingly "airtight" defense of the Bremen team has gradually begun to appear one by one.
If it weren't for goalkeeper Millitz's super-level performance, I'm afraid the Hamburg team would have overtaken the score and even sealed the win.
ββββββ
Although Feng Quan and Son Heung-min's individual breakthroughs on the left and right flanks made the Bremen team's defenders miserable. However, due to the lack of strong strikers in the Hamburg team, the "Asian pair" will hardly choose to cross into the box even after tearing apart the opponent's wide defence.
As a result, Bremen focused their defensive efforts on helping the "Asian pair" and preventing long-range shots from other Hamburg players on the edge of the box.
With an equaliser delayed, head coach Fink began to make some adjustments.
With 26 minutes into the second half, Fink replaced Ogo with Gojkokacar, a versatile man with a strong body and excellent header at the back.
However, Cachar did not appear in the midfield position left by Ogo and was pushed up front by Fink.
Fink's push to the front line was to play on the Serb's header ability. Although, due to the difference in position, Cachar is inferior to the regular striker in terms of technique at his feet, as well as movement in the box. But if he just fights for a header inside and outside the box and helps his team-mates fight for a second spot, he's still up to the task.
So, after coming off the bench, Cachar conveyed Fink's latest instructions to several of his teammates in the frontcourt.
First, Fink ordered Rudneves, who had been at the front, to "get moving" and move as far as possible around either side of Cachar in order to compete for the second place in the football.
Then he also let Feng Quan and Son Heung-min break through on the flank, and then try to cross into the box, of course, the first target of the cross is Cachar. It is then up to Cachar to decide whether to head directly into the goal or to ferry the ball to his teammates who will complete the next attack.
At the same time, Fink also asked Feng Quan and Van der Vaart to switch positions appropriately, and also told Feng Quan that if he came to the middle, he could try to shoot from a distance appropriately. In Fink's view, with the power of the shot, as long as it is within 25 meters of the goal, it is difficult for the goalkeeper of any team to guarantee that the ball will be confiscated directly.
In this way, even if Feng Quan's heavy artillery bombardment cannot directly knock on the opponent's door, at least it is likely to cause the opponent's goalkeeper to get out of his hands, thus creating an opportunity for teammates to compete for the second landing point......
ββββββ
In the 31st minute of the second half, Son Heung-min broke through Selassier's defense on the right flank and sent a fast cross near the penalty spot two or three meters from the baseline.
Despite Bremen's centre-back Assani Lukimya-Mulongoti's excellent physical condition (1.89m tall and 89kg in weight), he is slightly inferior to Hamburg's Cachar in terms of physical agility.
Therefore, when Cachar, who had been ambushed near the small penalty area, suddenly turned around and moved quickly towards the penalty spot, Asani, who was in charge of marking him, failed to keep up with Cachar in the first place because of a brief hesitation.
However, although Cachar grabbed the first spot with little to no interference. But because he is turning his body to push the ball, he can't head the ball directly to the goal, but can only choose to ferry the ball to his teammates.
At the same time, because Cachar and Rudneevs were ambushed in the box at the same time, and Van der Vaart came to the right side of the penalty area when Son Heung-min broke through, ready to respond at any time. Therefore, the defensive attention of the Bremen players was mainly focused on the four of them.
When Cachar turned around from near the penalty area and rushed to the penalty spot to grab the spot, he saw a very obvious gap at the top of the penalty area. Moreover, Feng Quan, who had been cruising in the area on the left side of the large forbidden area, was also moving towards this empty area.
As a result, Cachar immediately headed the ball towards the area at the top of the penalty area.
The next moment, I saw Feng Quan first open his hands to block Schmitz (Lukasschmitz), who was in charge of marking himself, behind him, and then unloaded the football with his chest while facing the direction of the goal. Then he flicked the ball sideways with the outside of his right foot, dodged a little angle, and completed a heavy bombardment at a distance of about 20 meters from the goal.
Immediately afterward, the football was seen whistling towards the right side of the goal like a cannonball.
Although the angle of Fengquan's shot was not very tricky, because of the large number of people in the penalty area, when goalkeeper Militz quickly pounced on his left side and was about to knock the ball out with a single fist, the football Asani fell to the ground and changed the direction of flight.
In this way, the football, which was originally flying close to the ground, jumped above Militz's left arm, and then grazed the post on the right side of the goal and burrowed into the net......
ββββββ
Although there was a certain element of luck in this goal, it was still very exciting to be able to help the team equalize the score in the "Northern Derby" match when they conceded two goals in a row in the opening game.
In addition, the on-site commentator at the Northern Bank Arena led the home fans to chant his name after Feng Quan's goal. It made Feng Quan fall into an almost "crazy" state in an instant.
After scoring the equaliser, Feng Quan sprinted like a 100-meter sprint, hammering his chest and roaring towards the South Stand, where the team's most loyal supporters were.
And, when he was still five or six meters away from the sideline, he made a sliding gesture to celebrate, and after "sliding" out of the sideline, Feng Quanfang stood up from the turf. Then also in the direction of the South Stand, make a movement of raising both arms at the same time.
After seeing Feng Quan's actions on the sidelines, the fans in the south stand also became even more crazy. If the roof of the Northern Bank Arena was made of glass at this time, I am afraid that it would probably be shattered by the shouts of the fans.
And Fink, who was standing on the sidelines, also celebrated with his assistant Lars Bittencourt, happily high-fived. Although it was just an equalizer, judging from the expressions on the faces of the two, it was as if they had overtaken the score at this time.
ββββββ
Originally with a one-goal lead, the Bremen players could still hold back their strength in their hearts and wanted to maintain the lead until the end of the game.
However, when Bremen equalised with a heavy shot from the wind, their mentality began to show signs of imbalance.
Just four minutes after Feng Quan's equaliser, Van der Vaart easily escaped Clemensfritz's defence with a pull ball near midfield and through the crotch. And Fritz, who was embarrassed and angry, directly threw Van der Fatra to the ground.
As Van der Vaart fell to the ground, the referee's whistle blew at the right time, awarding Hamburg a free-kick in front of Hamburg and showing Fritz a yellow card.
Since the referee did not signal, his whistle must be heard before the penalty can begin. So Van der Vaart, after getting up from the turf, quickly passed the ball to Feng Quan on the left wing.
After receiving the pass, Feng Quan just accelerated and changed direction, and easily got rid of Schmitz's defense. Then, when he came to the vicinity of the penalty area, he first made a breakthrough to the bottom line, then suddenly made a sudden stop, and then flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot to complete the inward cut to the middle.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Quan took the ball horizontally to the top of the arc of the penalty area, and just when the defenders of the Bremen team thought that he was going to repeat his old trick and bombard the goal, Feng Quan sent a through ball to the right side of the penalty area.
Although central defender Sokrati Pastathopoulos went down at the first time and tried to reach out to intercept Feng Quan's through ball. However, the ball eventually grazed the tip of his left foot and the side of midfielder Aleksandarignjovski.
The next moment, Son Xingmin, who was still cruising on the right side of the front field, suddenly accelerated, shook off Selassie, who was guarding him, and inserted into the penalty area. And, on the right side of the penalty area, eight or nine meters away from the bottom line, he received a through ball from Feng Quan.
Facing Papastathopoulos, who pounced on him reflexively, Son Heung-min first dunked the ball with his right foot and dodged the opponent's pounce. Slightly adjusting the direction of his body, he directly hit the goal with his left foot.
Although Millitz, who played bravely in this game, made the right judgment at the first time and pounced in the direction of the left side of the goal. However, Sun Xingmin's shooting angle was too tricky. As a result, Militz, who was still "flying" in mid-air, had no choice but to watch the football helplessly, and after bypassing his right hand, he drilled into the upper left corner of the goal.
3-2, 36 minutes into the second half, Hamburg finally overtook the score through unremitting efforts.
ββββββ
After being scored by Hamburg, the mentality of the Bremen players was finally completely unbalanced.
In the 41st minute of the second half, when Fritz was about to change direction in his own half, he was recognized by Van der Vaart of the Hamburg team, and directly stretched out his foot to break the ball, and quickly launched a counterattack.
Due to the position where Fritz was cut off, there was only a little more than 30 meters between the Bremen goal, and there were only two central defenders and goalkeeper Militz behind him.
Therefore, Fritz, who was worried about Hamburg scoring another goal through a counterattack, shoveled Van der Vaart directly behind him to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the referee, who was very close to the place of the foul, quickly rushed to Fritz after the whistle blew. After showing him a second yellow card, he was sent off the pitch with a red card.
Normally, when a player receives a second yellow card, both himself and his teammates will run to the referee and argue. Although it is difficult to change the referee's decision, most of the time, the offender's side will choose to do so, in order to put pressure on the referee in this way, so that he will have a trace of concern when he makes an unfavorable decision against his side in the remaining game time.
But this time, not only Fritz saw the yellow card from the referee, but quickly turned and walked to the sidelines. Moreover, none of his teammates walked up to the referee to argue for him.
The already demoralized Bremen team, after Fritz was sent off the field, not only had a serious imbalance in mentality, but also had frequent holes in defense.
When the game was close to the last minute of regular time, Feng Quan, who had switched positions with Van der Vaart, received a pass from Son Heung-min nearly 30 meters away from the opponent's goal, and there was no Bremen player within 5 meters of him.
It wasn't until Feng Quan took a step forward and was about to perform another heavy artillery stunt that Igoniovsky reacted and pounced from the left side of Feng Quan's body.
However, because of the full knowledge of the power of the wind to shoot from a distance, when the football is making a "bangββ! After a muffled sound, as he whistled in the direction of the goal, Igoniowski subconsciously curled up quickly, and then spun his body to the left to avoid being hit head-on by the terrifying shot.
Although Feng Quan's [long-shot] attribute has only just broken through 70 points, but at this time, in this almost "no interference" situation, even an amateur player with good long-range shooting skills is likely to contribute world-class goals in the game, not to mention Feng Quan, the absolute main force of the Bundesliga team.
So, less than a second later, the ball grazed the post on the left side of the goal, hit the net inside the goal, and rushed forward with the net for some distance before rolling into the goal.
And until the football rolled into the goal, goalkeeper Militz didn't have time to react.
Immediately afterwards, in the Northern Bank Arena, after a brief silence, the home fans in the stands erupted in deafening cheers...... (To be continued.) )
