Chapter 374: Deadlocked
If you want to win the game, you have to increase the number of attackers, or improve the quality of the attack, one is the midfielders to press, and the other is the full-backs to increase the assists.
However, Almin-Feng did not dare to increase the attacking staff sharply immediately, and only asked the midfielders to press forward slowly. Rostock's attack gradually increased, and it began to hit the edge of the Karlsruhe penalty area several times.
In the 20th minute, after Yevseyev broke through Porcello on the left, he was brought down by Zhang Cheng, and Rostock won a free kick.
Yevseev drove the ball in front of the goal area, and Lopes and Karlsruhe centre-back Pisot jumped up at the same time to head the ball, and Lopes headed the ball high under Pisot's interference.
In the 24th minute, Julian dribbled the ball from the back and rushed to the front of the Karlsruhe penalty area, but the football was destroyed by Zhang Cheng first. Lopes grabbed the ball and continued to force Jonas on the left side of Karlsruhe, but this time he was brought down by Jonas.
Yevseev's right-footed free-kick hit the goal, and although the football went around the wall, it was held down on the goal line by Wu Feng, who reacted quickly, and there was no chance to break the goal, and this attack also reminded Rostock of the super goalkeeper.
In the 26th minute, after Zhang Cheng received the ball, he made a long-distance direct pass, and Capalani quickly broke through diagonally, but Julian tackled the ball cleanly from the side and dealt with the threat.
It was the best chance for either side since the opening kick-off, and after missing the one-on-one goal, Capalani was disappointed that a good chance was squandered by himself.
However, although this single goal did not score, it scared goalkeeper Brasvich and the head coach into a cold sweat.
Seeing that the breakthrough did not work, Rostock stepped up his crosses from the flank, and Saige and Gajaji kept sending crosses from the bottom line to force Jonas's side in an attempt to disrupt Karlsruhe's defence.
However, under the command of Wu Feng, Karlsruhe's defense is well-layered, and he is very deadly marked. Rostock's plan of attacking from the flanks did not work as expected, but Karlsruhe's counter-attack was almost fatal.
In the 31st minute, Zhang Cheng received the ball from the front of his penalty area and ran all the way to the right, passing two Gajaji and Yevseev in the middle, and went down to the bottom line to distribute the ball to Ruibrand in the penalty area.
Looking at the kick-off, Ruibrand volleyed a left-footed shot into the far corner, but Braswich did well this time, falling to the ground and keeping the ball off the line with both hands.
The corner kick was taken, Zhang Cheng took advantage of his height advantage, grabbed the football landing point, pulled the header to create chaos in the Rostock penalty area, and finally flew slightly off the post and flew out of the bottom line.
At this moment, Almin Feng was almost shocked into a cold sweat when he stood on the sidelines, and he was in a very anxious mood. Now that Rostock are bottom of the league, a point is not his goal, and he is very keen to win Karlsruhe in this game and try to get out of the relegation zone as soon as possible.
However, thinking about Wu Feng's super saving ability, he still resisted the urge to let the defender strengthen the assist. But his caution didn't help his side hold on to home advantage.
In the 35th minute, Saige was knocked down by Marc on the line of the Karlsruhe penalty area, but referee Vals did not award Marc for a foul.
Zhang Cheng immediately took the opportunity to take the ball and led it to Rostock's goal at high speed in the middle. At this moment, Rostock is switching from offense to defense, and there is only one Marcel who intercepts Zhang Cheng in the middle.
In such a large space, Zhang Cheng went straight to the ball rampage, and when he was about to meet, Zhang Cheng changed direction twice in a row, and Marcel was planted directly on the lawn as if he had drunk.
When he was still more than 30 meters away from the goal, Zhang Cheng saw the opponent's two central defenders coming up, he did not continue to move forward, but flashed the angle with a smash, and then pulled out his foot and immediately volleyed.
Zhang Cheng's powerful shot was so powerful that reporters behind the goal could almost hear the whistling wind of the football.
Goalkeeper Blaswich was prepared, he knew that Zhang Cheng's long-range shot was very powerful, and when he played Dortmund, he almost kicked Weidenfeller. So when Zhang Cheng was dribbling the ball, he was preparing to watch out for Zhang Cheng's long-range shot.
Although Zhang Cheng's kick was powerful, the angle was not tricky, and the distance was a little far, and the football flew towards the goal next to Braswich.
However, Blasvich tried his best to hit the ball out. However, after the shot, Zhang Cheng rushed to the goal at full speed to prepare for the supplementary shot, and he knew that this shot was not so easy to enter.
Julian also followed Zhang Cheng and ran into the penalty area, but how could his speed be compared to Zhang Cheng, and he was left behind in just a few steps.
Another centre-back, Fabians, was clever enough to get in Zhang's way, but Zhang's ability to control his body's centre of gravity was almost unmatched in Europe, and he still changed lines to bypass him at such a short distance.
However, in the final follow-up shot, Zhang Cheng was pushed from behind by Fabians, failed to stabilize the direction, and the football once again grazed the post and flew out of the bottom line.
The attack scared the Rostock fans so much that they almost thought they were going to concede a goal.
After Karlsruhe's threatening attack, Rostock's side did not dare to attack easily, and the game fell into a dull situation for a while.
When Rostock retracted all the players, Federico and Zhang Cheng had nothing to do, and it didn't work to break through and hang the shot, and the last ten minutes of the first half passed like this, and the two sides were still temporarily tied 0:0.
At the start of the second half, Rostock seemed to have decided that they had only one point, and they played the tightest defense at the back.
However, Karlsruhe don't want to take just one point, they are now five points clear of Bayern Munich, and they must not be left behind easily.
With a wave of Becker's hand, the Karlsruhe army was all pressed, but this approach compressed their offensive space a lot.
There are people in the penalty area, and they can't open the gap if they want to shoot from a distance, Zhang Cheng and Federico have several long-range shots in a row, but they are all blocked.
If you want to cooperate, there are legs everywhere, and the pass must be accurate to the centimeter, Zhang Cheng is a little weak to short passes, and can only be organized by Federico alone, but they are all destroyed by Rostock, and there is no chance at all.
The game dragged on like this, and until the 80th minute, it was still 0:0 on the field. Being pressed and beaten by their opponents on their home turf, Rostock's fans were very aggrieved.
But they looked at the cold goalkeeper in front of the Karlsruhe goal, and the restless heart settled down again. It doesn't seem like an unacceptable fact to score a point.
Wu Feng is also nervous in the backfield, but there is no way, he is just a goalkeeper. Although Karlsruhe has won three free kicks in this game, but the distance is more than 40 meters, he has two penalties, but all of them are blocked by the opposing player, and he can only look up to the sky and sigh.
"Go up, tackle decisively!"
"Raised by a bitch, keep running, don't give your opponent a chance!" Almin-Feng was in a hurry, he couldn't wait to run after the players with a whip, and the defense on the field was in jeopardy.
