Chapter 352: A Perfect Fit
Basically all the Schalke 04 players are now full of confidence in the game, relying on their unbeatable attributes and technical advantages, and they immediately played the home team Kaiserslautern as soon as the game started, and both sides were very frequent, which is what the visiting team likes to see these days.
What kind of team is Schalke 04? Just look at their head coach, the German devil coach Magath who trains with solid balls will be a nightmare for the team's veterans when he takes office!
Farfan is racing down the flank, the Peruvian winger has never tried what it feels like to be under Magath since joining Schalke 04 in '08, and although he is unhappy with the high-intensity training mode, the 26-year-old has done his best to improve his fitness as much as possible, and they have reached the peak of their career.
And it was the integration of Farfan and others on the wing, and the breakthrough of the other side gave the home team a lot of pressure.
Schalke 04 is not only able to run, but also fast, many times it seems that Kaiserslautern is anxious with Schalke visitors, but if this anxiety is accompanied by his exhaustion, it will be accompanied by an avalanche-like collapse!
Hovedes thinks so, left-back Schmitz also thinks so, looking at the Kaiserslautern No. 31 who is extremely active in front of them, in addition to completing the manager's defensive tasks, they are more with a play-watching mentality, to look at the opponent who wastes physical strength again and again and is constantly looking for a breakthrough.
Schmitz would love to share his happiness with the left centre-back next to him, Hovedes.
"As long as this Ni Tu doesn't let him into the penalty area, he has no ball at his feet, and he is always going back and forth on the side, except for wasting physical strength, there is nothing else to see!"
Hovedes also has something to say that he and his team-mate Schmitz at left wing-back have a lot in common.
"Is this Ni Tu really scared? I don't see a trend towards the middle of the penalty area, is the manager a little too worried? ”
Ni Tu has not seen a situation of carrying the ball for dozens of meters at a time in the past few minutes since the start of the game, first, the opponent is very capable of running very tough, and secondly, he also realizes that he may disrupt the team's tactics like this, and the speed of attacking and advancing the ball is still faster than people.
"Ni Tu was relatively calm during this time, he stayed more on the right side of the team to play passing, but Ni Tu was as positive as ever."
As a Chinese commentator, Duan Chengxuan automatically assumed the responsibility of Ni Tu's special commentary, and he would turn the topic to his compatriot Ni Tu at every turn during the game.
"Ni Tu has worked hard, but his performance has yet to improve." This may be Duan Chengxuan's subtext, his commentary tends to be visible, and it is obviously towards his compatriots on the field.
As the opposition defence perceived, Ni Tu did not try to attack more dangerously, and in the first 15 minutes, he acted less like a winger and more like a playmaker on the wing.
The time of the game ticked by second, and the two sides went back and forth, although the scene was lively, but there was no substantive attack.
The fans in the stands are restless, since they have come to the scene, the team has not yet seen an obvious gap between strength and weakness, and it is natural to use their own shouts to bring energy to the team, this is Kaiserslautern's home stadium, Schalke 04 The poor number of fans can't make any waves at all!
Schalke 04 had players who couldn't help it, and so far in the game, they haven't seen any physical bottlenecks in their opponents.
"Do you have to wait until the second half? Look at this situation, the hateful Kaiserslautern is not much worse than us! It can't be consumed anymore, when will it be a head? I'm going to score, I'm going to score! ”
Huntelaar, the Dutch centre-forward, was the first to change his model, becoming more targeted and aggressive, and no longer planning to go around the corner with his team and opponents.
Huntelaar moved, and Farfan on the right seemed to be fed up with this purposeless war of attrition, the two sides came and went, and there were still too few really threatening attacks, and not everyone could start from the beginning!
Rakic took advantage of the gap in the dead ball and gave Ni Tu a look, which seemed to be true, and the opponent still seemed to be a little less patient than us.
Ni Tu nodded, everything was going according to plan.
Now if Ni Tu does not cut inside on the side and enters the top of the arc of the penalty area, he is relatively free.
Magath was originally worried about Ni Tu's threat, so he specifically asked Schmitz not to press and defend Ni Tu, Kaiserslautern's only counter-attack point, with peace of mind.
Schmitz was also a little eager to try, the team's front court was already moving, and he comforted himself in his heart:
"My teammates up front are trying to find a way to break through the opponent's door, and they need my support even more at this critical time!"
If Ni Tu can hear what this defensive player thinks in his heart, he will definitely be happy in his heart, "What I'm waiting for is your time!" ”
The left-back, who was at the back, looked at the target player who was some distance away from him, and thought to himself, "Is this Ni Tu creating opportunities waiting for me to get out?" I'm out and there's Hovedes, if you have a kind, try it! ”
So Schmitz also pressed on.
Magath was a little unhappy with the fact that his players were starting to make changes to his tactics, but at the same time he felt that it was time for him to start a formal attack, and it was really not a problem to spend so much time with his opponents.
Hovedez had not been particularly busy before, Kaiserslautern's lone striker Rakic, who was not a threat to the center-back combination of himself and Metzelde, and Ni Tu, a winger who would have tried to cut inside on the wing, was also very stable at this time, and it seemed that the previous head break and blood flow had made this Chinese learn to behave.
Is that really the case?
"Siperel hugged the football, and if Huntelaar had the ball to Raul behind him, maybe Schalke would have a better chance! Siperl, he threw the ball quickly, Kaiserslautern counterattacked...... Ni Tu's ball! ”
Schmitz was not too bold to stay away from Ni Tu, but Ni Tu was not hacked either, he quickly passed the football out, Kirsch received the pass, Schmitz lost his goal, he didn't know whether he should keep an eye on Ni Tu or go to help defend.
However, just as he had made up his mind to walk away a little, the ball was back at Ni Tud's feet, this time with a sharp acceleration before Schmitz could react, trying to shake off his opponent.
Schmitz panicked, along with Schalke 04's central defender was also a little panicked, and Kaiserslautern's attacking momentum was obviously different.
"Stop him!" Schmitz roared inwardly.
"Can't let him go any further!" Hovedes also thought to himself.
When both of them turned their attention to Ni Tu, Ni Tu passed the ball again, he dodged the marking, the football was not here, he pulled down the middle road!
"This time, Ni Tu scored, perfect match!" It seems that there is a goal, and this goal seems to give the opponent a disadvantage immediately!
