Chapter 364: Difficult to Score Goals (1)
Rakitic knew in previous videos that Zhang Cheng's defense was very oppressive. But I still didn't expect the opponent's explosive power to be so strong, as soon as the kick-off ball was played, he had just stopped the football, and the opponent had rushed to a few meters in front of him.
Seeing that he was about to be robbed, Rakitic hurriedly passed the ball backwards, at this time he was not prepared and did not want to be reluctantly entangled with Zhang Cheng.
Soon the first attack of the game came, and in the 7th minute, Raphinha crossed, but the ball hit Marke, and then immediately bounced back to the other side of the Karlsruhe penalty area.
On the right side of the penalty area, Kuranyi, who was in the back row, grabbed a header and flicked the ball back to the left side of the box.
Wu Feng watched Schalke's players back and forth on the goal line, and did not rush to attack, he knew that the final blow had not yet come, and the one who came up behind was the most dangerous.
Sure enough, after the football flew to the left side of the penalty area, a gray figure also rushed up. Facing the landing point of the football, Ernst did not stop the ball, picked up his right foot and volleyed directly into the goal, and the football roared straight to the corner of the ball.
"It's coming! That's you! ”
The speed of the football flying was very fast, but Wu Feng was faster, his body rubbed a few times and quickly flew up, and his hands directly held the kick steadily.
A colorful attack and defense, a beautiful save!
Seeing this scene, the fans in Karlsruhe quickly stood up and gave Wu Feng a warm applause. Schalke's fans, on the other hand, booed Wu Feng one after another, and the goalkeeper ruined their beautiful attack.
However, this goal fully shows that Schalke's midfield's offensive ability is not bad, and it also shows that their midfielders are excellent players who can attack and defend well.
Seeing that his shot was directly taken by Wu Feng, Ernst was a little frustrated and raised his hand to cover his face.
"But our goalkeeper is not bad, Neuer was the best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga last season?" Ernst couldn't help muttering in his heart, he compared the two goalkeepers, and felt that neither of them was the object that he and others could easily break through.
The game went on and despite a good chance missed, the Schalke 04 players were undisturbed.
Under the guidance of Ernst from behind, they were still the dominant side, and the two sides fought directly in midfield.
In the 13th minute, Rakitic picked up a cross into the penalty area, and Kuranyi looked motivated and grabbed the front spot to shoot. However, at this time, Karlsruhe player Zhang Cheng rushed up, used his strong body to squeeze Kuranyi to the ground, and at the same time stretched out his foot to kick Rakitic's pass off the line.
However, Schalke 04's players raised their arms to signal a foul, but the referee ignored them and awarded a corner.
Ernst then whipped in a corner from the left, and the tall Kuranyi jumped high in front of the post to beat Gella and head home. However, when the ball flew towards the goal, it happened to hit the shoulder of Jones, the defender, and the ball bounced back and immediately changed direction and went straight to the other side of the goal.
Originally, Wu Feng had judged the direction of Kuranyi's header and jumped over to hug the football. But after Jones's refraction, Wu Feng's face changed greatly, this is really weird, seeing that football is about to enter the door.
For such a weird rebound curveball in front of the goal, even the most magical goalkeeper can only lament. However, Wu Feng was not willing to be broken like this, he was in mid-air, unable to make any changes, he could only raise his feet as high as possible, hoping to touch the football.
Fortunately, this time the Chinese gods and Buddhas favored Wu Feng, and the football finally touched Wu Feng's toes, and the rebound of the football after touching Jones was not strong. After the football was blocked by Wu Feng's toes, it bounced up again, then hit the crossbar, and bounced high back into the penalty area.
In the penalty area, Asamoah grabbed the second point and fired a quick follow-up shot. However, due to the fact that there were too many people in the penalty area and some hurry, when Asamoah got up, Zhang Cheng also rushed to him.
The two of them directly crossed feet near the penalty spot, and the "bang" football was hit by the huge force of both sides, and flew high again, with a hint of spin.
This time the two feet met, and the two did not distinguish the winner or loser, and each other shook each other back a few steps away.
At this point, Kuranyi reacted quickly again and immediately ran towards the football, where he was about to shoot again. However, Wu Feng would not let the danger continue to threaten the goal, he jumped up, kicked the turf, and rushed out quickly.
Both of them rushed towards each other, about to engage in a direct confrontation between bodies, and everyone was about to stop breathing, watching the two face off. Before Kuranyi pushed the football, Wu Feng's palms also slapped straight at him, like a smash in volleyball, and his palms slapped down fiercely.
"Bang", the football was firmly grasped by Wu Feng with both hands this time, without any movement, but Kulanyi, who was in the middle of the football, felt that he was slapped by a huge force, and his body couldn't help but retreat.
"Poof", after landing, due to the excessive force, Kuranyi did not stabilize his body, his body was crooked, and he sat down on the turf. He also felt the fate of Gomez and other air tyrants, and became a "victim" under Wu Feng's palms.
The fans in Karlsruhe felt the domineering spirit of Wu Feng's save, and all stood up to applaud Wu Feng with a "boom", which was even more inspiring for such a direct confrontation save.
"Fight back!" Wu Feng passed the ball directly, and this time it was Karlsruhe's turn to attack, and he didn't want Schalke 04 to threaten his goal all the time.
Wu Feng sent a long diagonal ball across the pitch from the back of the field over the top of the ball for Capalani, who was active near Schalke on the left.
This time, Wu Feng's pass was low and fast, which caught Schalke's defenders off guard, and there was a slight spin when the ball reached the target. It's comfortable for a teammate to catch the ball, but it's easy for the opponent to misjudge.
This requires a lot of footwork, because a low overhead ball can be easily broken by the opponent if it is not handled well. Raphinha thought that based on the height of the ball, he only needed to take two steps forward to get the ball easily before Capalani.
But he soon found that there was still a problem with his own judgment of distance, because the ball was actually spinning. In turn, it was Capalani who got the football before him, and Raphinha, in a hurry, rushed forward to steal.
However, Capalani was prepared, and he cleverly used his chest to block and stop, and he passed Raphinha, who was too fast.
Then he cut into Schalke 04's box and fired from a tight angle, but Schalke's young goalkeeper Neuer reacted very quickly and made a decisive save.
Last season, he was the main goalkeeper of Schalke 04 and was also selected as the German backup goalkeeper, and he quietly moved to the right when Wu Feng passed.
However, Capalani can shoot at a small angle, but he is very powerful, and he often trains with Wu Feng's "pervert", and it is strange that his shooting power can be small.
Neuer could only use his fists to send the powerful shot off the sideline, and in less than three minutes the two sides had already engaged in a round of attack, which really made the fans excited.
