Chapter 157: Fighting Cologne Again
The German Cup was won, and Karlsruhe in the league was also making great progress, especially after Wu Feng's return, there was an extra momentum in goalkeeping skills, that is, Capalani and other teammates were afraid of Wu Feng's momentum.
After Karlsruhe returned from Wu Feng, he started the winning streak again, and Cologne was originally suppressed by Wu Feng when he played against Wu Feng in the first half of the season.
Now that they have met again after a few months, they still haven't been able to get out of the shadow in their hearts, especially their main striker Yuya Osako, who behaved more like a midfielder in this game, and was an unqualified midfielder.
Seroux continued to attack Wu Feng, but it was difficult for him to do it as a single striker, and he was frequently blocked by David Pisot and Stoll.
On the contrary, it created a lot of chances for Karlsruhe, but Capalani did not play too well in this game, and the shooting angle was either too positive, or it was much off, and did not pose much of a threat.
It was 0-0 until the end of the first half, with Karlsruhe out of bad luck and Capalani and Freis's shots were shot by Cologne's goalkeeper Timo on several occasions or flew off the post.
At halftime, in the Cologne dressing room, head coach Colton pressed his hands in mid-air to signal the players to calm down.
He then continued: "We are now out of contention for promotion to the Bundesliga, but as I said before, you have to give your all in this game today in order to defend our Cologne honour. One thing you have to remember is that this game is for the great Cologne club, not for my merits, not for your worth to increase a little bit. We have to prove to the fans who come to the stadium today to cheer us on that we belong to the great Cologne club! ”
As soon as Colton's words fell, there was a chorus in the locker room. All the players blushed and roared. "Victory belongs to Cologne! Kill Karlsruhe! ”
Seeing that the morale of the players was boosted, Colton struck while the iron was hot and began to arrange the game tactics: "The three lines of Karlsruhe, except for the forwards, the other two lines are quite strong. This was confirmed when they played us for the first time. However, their midfield is not inferior to us, and their backline has also improved a lot under the construction of Chinese goalkeepers, and their forward line is clearly weaker in comparison. As a result, we continued to play in a 4-4-2 formation, battling them for control and relying on a back four to press down their three strikers. As for their backline, it was the Chinese goalkeeper who played the decisive role. Since the beginning of this season, the Chinese has only conceded 3 goals in official matches, which is an important reason why Karlsruhe has the strength to rush into the league in such a short period of time. ”
As soon as Colomba said this, Ceru, who was bent on challenging Wu Feng, couldn't wait to ask a question: "Head, what is the weakness of that Chinese?" How do we get the ball into the back of the net behind him? ”
"I'm glad you have such a high fighting spirit." Colton gave Seru an approving look, then looked at Yuya Osako, the Japanese striker who didn't have a shot on goal in the first half.
Da Qiang Yong can also score a lot of goals against other teams, and can be said to be the main scorer of Cologne, but when facing Wu Feng, he becomes timid, and he is not as good as the lower Seru. Thinking of this, Colton could only shrug helplessly: "It's a pity that until now, I haven't been able to find out his weaknesses." But one thing I know for sure is that if we can shoot at 200 kilometres per hour, we'll be able to score against him. Of course, this is just talking, and there are few people in this world who can do it, so we can only think about this, and if you want to break his goal, you have to rely on yourself, remember that there is no goalkeeper with a clean sheet in this world, since he has lost the goal, there must be a weakness. Let's go! It's time for your revenge. ”
At the start of the second half, Colton replaced the lost Da Qiang, and came on as a substitute for another Cologne striker, Jelf.
When Da Qiang Yong was also substituted, Fang Yu and others on the sidelines were full of joy, and the game once again proved that Chinese players are better than Japanese players. The Japanese reporters not far away were all depressed, they originally wanted to see the revenge of Yuya Osako, but in the end they failed, and they were ended early.
In the second half, Cologne changed the silence of the first half, began to control the ball in the backfield, and then the strikers pressed in the middle to create pressure on Karlsruhe's rear, and Karlsruhe's three forwards also kept running back and forth in the front court to press.
At the beginning, the two sides played with a wrench, not impatient or impatient, not like a game at all, but a practice match.
However, Sorensen, who was backing up in the backfield, suddenly made a long pass, and the football flew across the half court and flew to the right.
However, Vazenik suddenly appeared in front of him and pounced on the flying football, but the tall Hogg struck a reasonable charge with his shoulder.
The thinner Vazenik was his opponent and was immediately knocked to the ground, but Hogg didn't stop and dribbled down the touchline.
Vazenik sat on the ground and signaled for a foul, and the referee shook his head, "No foul." ”
Hogg's pace was unstoppable, getting to the right side of the box, and then before Jonas could come up to intercept, he lifted his foot to cross and the half-high curling ball flew into the box of Karlsruhe.
But such a passing intention is too obvious, not to mention a goalkeeper like Wu Feng, who struck first as soon as possible, jumped high, and confiscated the ball firmly on Seru's head. Then he looked at the front court and shouted loudly: "Fight back!" ”
With a big kick, the football swept towards the opponent's half of the court like a cannonball, and Federico and the others immediately followed quickly.
Marc grabbed the first point at the first time, but there was interference from the defenders behind him, and he couldn't take the ball, so he had no choice but to shake his head and give the ball to Thiem.
But Thiem didn't get the ball either, as Sorensen was already standing in front of him, and he turned to distribute the ball to the left and quickly ran towards the box.
After Capalani on the left got the ball, he did not break through along the wing, but directly distributed the ball to Federico, who was in a better position in the middle, and ran to the left penalty area by himself.
Federico made a collision with Marc and received the ball smoothly, and directly played a long diagonal pass to Bolcello on the outside of the box on the left side.
