Chapter 0346 - Downturn

If Zhuo Cunzhi and his offensive players are just in a stalemate, defensive players like Bernd are beaten to the point of losing sight of one or the other.

In the 78th minute, Bernd made a rare loss of position and missed Alonso.

To be precise, Alonso was still standing in the back midfield.

However, in his hurry, Bernd did not see the vast space in front of Alonso.

(Don't miss it, don't miss it!) )

Alonso did not choose to break through at the first time, unlike Zhuo Cunzhi, he is not good at breaking through, and his personal forward ability is not outstanding.

However, he also has his own methods.

Through codes and gestures, Alonso was the first to convey his message to his teammates.

Valery faintly made a move to get down, drawing Arne's attention; Nihart approached Mertesacker, a talented but young man who was still stunned; Mateo Kovacevic approached Spanier with a smile, the captain of Aachen, who is not outstanding in terms of individual strength, and even after two seasons in the Bundesliga, his ability value is still barely hovering around 80 points.

It was this Spanier who was an indispensable member of the Aachen backline.

His wealth of experience and his ability to play against weak teams without becoming a major breakthrough point have made him a regular in Aachen.

But it must be said that when facing Kovacevic and facing opponents at the star level, Spaniel's personal flaws were completely exposed!

In the past, there was Manuel who was even more powerful, but now, there is only Mertesacker.

In terms of ability, Mertesacker is no worse than Manuel, but his experience and overall view are still a little bit worse.

Just like now, he was attracted to Nihat's attention, and he didn't react until two seconds later, and he should focus on the overall situation.

When Alonso unleashed a long, precision-guided ball at his feet, when Kovacevic pressed Spanier to get the spot, and when Benaglio stood thin in front of the Aachen gate, the result was already predestined......

2:0!

“gooooooooooooooooooooal!!!”

Confused, Mertesacker, at this moment, may not know what he is wrong.

As a centre-back, it's not a wrong thing to do to play man-to-man defence.

Rather, if Aachen's defensive strength is good enough, Mertesacker's performance can even be described as steady!

The problem now, however, is that Aachen is not as strong defensively.

Aachen's backline has reached the point where it has to rely on Mertesacker's individual ability!

And in this case, Mertesacker didn't pay attention to the big picture and just played the role of a role player.

Aachen's backline has reached the point where he needs Mertesacker as the core!

Obviously, Mertesacker, who has just started playing in the professional league, cannot think that he can be the core of the defense unless he is as heartless as Joao!

Even Hach, who was off the court, just didn't blame Mertesacker at this moment, not even Spanier.

Because, he knew that Mertesacker's inexperience and Spanier's lack of personal ability.

This defensive lineup combination, from the beginning he did not have high expectations.

In other words, even he, as the head coach of the team, never thought of making Mertesacker, a young man, the heart of the defense.

This kind of thinking is normal.

But the proper arrangement is destined not to wake people up.

With the strikers in poor form and the absence of three big players in the midfield, Aachen's defeat seemed like a matter of course.

2:0, which is also the final score of this game.

Finished!

This was Haher's first thought.

In the next round, Real Sociedad play Panathinaikos away, and they have a good chance of getting three points!

Also in the next round, Aachen will face Manchester United at home!

No, no, no, no!

Hach shook his head, shaking all the negative thoughts out of his mind.

On the bright side, the results of the Manchester United vs Panathinaikos match are already in.

Manchester United won, 2-0, now Manchester United has accumulated 11 points with three wins and two draws, and is already destined to qualify for the top of the group.

The Premier League schedule is approaching the winter break.

As we all know, the Premier League's winter break is the same as that of other leagues.

Perhaps for commercial reasons, Premier League players are still preparing for the game while other leagues are out of hiatus.

This approach has indeed made the Premier League occupy the attention of many fans, at least during the winter break, the football of the five major leagues can only be watched by the Premier League.

However, when it comes to business, the clubs are complaining.

The so-called not suffering from inequality, after seeing that the players in other leagues were able to rest peacefully, he still had to play hard.

Needless to say, physical exertion alone is quite difficult to deal with.

Even if Ferguson's Manchester United is the hegemon of the Premier League, they will have to make some physical reserves in the face of the upcoming winter break.

Coupled with the fact that qualifying for the Champions League group stage is already inevitable, Manchester United basically does not need to do its best.

There is hope, there is hope, there is hope......

As if trying to convince himself, Hach kept repeating the same sentence in his mind.

Regardless of the usefulness of this psychological suggestion, Hach at least made a "not a big problem" expression in his performance.

However, the media reporters will not let them go so easily.

"Clean sheet for the first time of the season! Zhuo's away performance is sluggish! ”

In fact, Zhuo Cunzhi's performance in this game cannot be considered bad.

After the game, the statistics media rated him with a score of 7.9, which is the highest score of any player in the Aachen team.

The best player in the game was Alonso with 8.7 points.

However, seeing Aachen being kept clean sheets, seeing Zhuo Cunzhi being kept clean sheets, many pseudo-fans who only look at the score and don't look at the process will naturally think that Zhuo Cunzhi's performance is not good.

In fact, even if the rating is not low, even if the performance is not bad, as long as Zhuo Cunzhi fails to lead the team to victory, the performance cannot be considered good.

As the heart of the team, this is a matter of course, and it is also the pressure that the core should take on as a matter of course.

Therefore, in the 14th round of the Bundesliga, Aachen drew 0:0 with Stuttgart, and in the 15th round of the Bundesliga, Aachen drew 3:3 with Bochum away.

If it is a big club like Real Madrid, they will naturally find ways to say good things about their core with excellent media and public relations skills.

Aachen, naturally, does not have such an influence.

Even so, it is strange that this wave of skepticism has intensified like this.

Worried, head coach Hag approached Zhuo Cunzhi......
