Chapter 422: German Cup Round of 8 (2)
However, there is also a good thing about it now, it is a group of young players, with the encouragement of Wu Feng, full of confidence. They don't have good technique, but they have the drive, they have the stamina, and they can constantly run around.
In such a situation, even the Hamburg team was temporarily suppressed back by Karlsruhe.
However, Xu Bu seemed to prove that his words were not false, and in this game he sent all the main team to the stadium, and they have gradually fallen behind in the league, so they can only gamble in the German Cup.
Soon, 10 minutes had passed. Karlsruhe, with the constant rush of young players, neutralized the Hamburg team's field advantage and almost completely blocked the Hamburg team's attack.
Originally, the Hamburg team was willing to give the opponent a dismissal at the beginning of the game according to the instructions of the manager, but the performance of the players in Karlsruhe disappointed their expectations.
"The players in Karlsruhe, although it looks very technically rough. However, they are very energetic, and under the leadership of Wu Feng, their energy cannot be underestimated. However, it is too far from our strength, as long as we stabilize our position, the situation on the field will gradually fall into our control. Van der Vaart, it's all up to you? Xu Bu sat in the coach's seat, looking complacent, and didn't seem to be worried about the current situation at all.
Becker watched the stalemate battle quietly, but secretly said in his heart: "These guys, when did they cooperate so well?" Could it be that under the leadership of Wu, they can still turn the sky upside down? It's weird! ”
As the head coach of the team, he is well aware that the weakness of the team is that he is too young, and when these players are in the limelight, they play well. Once the opponent finds an opportunity, it is easy to make mistakes, and he has no choice but to send these players.
But in the case of the player's poor strength, he can only temporarily send these young army players, as for whether to win or lose, depending on the emperor's arrangement, he has done his best.
He didn't know that under Wu Feng's strong "halo", these young soldiers were in high spirits and played at a higher level, advancing and retreating with evidence, and temporarily hiding the weakness of strength.
But weakness is always weakness.
Over time, the weakness of Karlsruhe's overall strength was undoubtedly exposed.
In the 16th minute, the Hamburg team finally opened up the situation, and a few smooth passes were linked, and the fullback Casterron took the ball to the right side of the Karlsruhe penalty area.
"Keep an eye on the players who come into the box, keep an eye out for No. 9 Guerrero and No. 7 Zidan, and Gravell out of No. 11 Ollie!"
Wu Feng saw that the players of the Hamburg team had come to the penalty area and were eyeing them, so he hurriedly reminded Borden and the others loudly. At the same time, he watched Castron's actions intently, and even observed the position of Van der Vaart and the others clearly.
At this time, Casterron saw that Nareli was approaching, and there were no teammates nearby to answer him. He had no choice but to get close to Nareli and send the ball high into the box.
The ball streaked across the air and landed directly in the penalty area. Suddenly, the crowd in the forbidden area became agitated. Zidan was closest to the ball's landing point, and he felt the timing before he jumped hard before Dick and headed the ball overhead.
"At such a close distance, the chances of a goal should be very high." As Zidan was overjoyed as he pushed the ball forward, a gloved fist appeared.
This is Wu Feng, after he saw Castelon pass from the bottom, he decisively chose to attack, turned the sky with a move, and knocked the football out of the penalty area with one hand when Zidan had just pushed it out.
“…… Five...... Our Patronus was very accurate, reacted quickly, and struck decisively, smashing the ball out with one palm to defuse Hamburg's dangerous attack. It's really a good judgment, and it is said that Kokubu is now training with the ball's ball machine......"
Wu Feng successfully defused the attack of the Hamburg team, and after venting his excitement, the on-site commentator Jemais, did not forget to shake out some secrets about Wu Feng's training to enliven the atmosphere of the scene.
"Without excellent judgment, the high ball doesn't have much of a problem for him." Zidan lost the battle for the top, and after landing on the ground, he said to Van der Vaart, he felt that Wu Feng's defense was too strong.
Before the game, head coach Xu Bu told them to keep trying to find Wu Feng's weaknesses, and he firmly remembered this.
"Since Mr. Manager can't find your weaknesses, let me finish it." Van der Vaart gave Wu Feng a deep look, and then ran to the field in silence, he felt that he should have a chance.
He was determined to break Wu Feng's goal in this game, and if this match failed to achieve this wish, the next chance would be two months later.
Wu Feng didn't know that the players who were fighting for the top just now, as well as his teammates, all had a desire to challenge themselves, and they all wanted to try to break their own goals.
After defusing the Hamburg team's attack, Wu Feng retreated to the goal again, watching out for the opponent's next attack.
Van der Vaart's long-awaited chance didn't come until the 29th minute, when Hag took the lead after Wu Feng knocked the ball out of the box again. Under his organization, Karlsruhe immediately launched a counterattack. They counter-attacked quickly, but lacked strength of their own and were blocked by the Hamburg team with all their might.
A few minutes later, veteran Dundee made a mistake and was successfully cut off by his opponent, missing the opportunity to attack.
Hamburg, who regained control of the ball, naturally did not give Karlsruhe any face, and they did not hesitate to attack Karlsruhe at the back after receiving the ball. At this point, Van der Vaart rushed to the front with the ball, and several other strikers actively ran to try to open up space and create opportunities for Van der Vaart.
Van der Vaart knew it was nearly half an hour into the game, but there was only one chance to threaten the countryman. Without more shots, it would have been impossible to find out the weaknesses of that man in the remaining hour.
Finally, the hard work paid off, and Cohen, who was in charge of keeping an eye on him, was a little dizzy by Van der Vaart's seemingly aimless running, and he couldn't follow closely for a while.
Van der Vaart took advantage of this time to shake off Cohen with a switchback run and waved loudly for the ball.
"Here, pass me the ball!" Seeing this, Cohen was in a hurry and hurriedly leaned in, he wanted to prevent Van der Vaart from receiving the ball. But it was too late, Cohen was not a brute force player like Zhang Cheng after all, and he didn't react fast enough, and he was powerless to stop in the face of the former European golden boy, and the ball still reached Van der Vaart's feet.
In desperation, Cohen had to press close to prevent the latter from breaking through or shooting. But Van der Vaart's physical resistance is not weak, and Cohen's obstruction is a little inadequate.
"The high ball doesn't work for you, I'll try a long shot!"
Van der Vaart deflectombly guarded the ball and looked for the right moment to shoot. After a while, he saw Cohen's body shift and knew that the opportunity had come.
