Chapter 390: Priceless Treasure
The half-time result was 1:1, and Ni Tu's goal helped the team take the lead that was finally "wasted" by his own teammates before the end of the first half.
Although his teammates expressed their disappointment, Ni Tu was not angry that what he "hard" did was easily erased by his teammates, as if this shot was insignificant.
Don't think that a lob shot that doesn't go past half is particularly chic, it's not a simple matter to get such an opportunity and score it.
Ni Tu showed that he didn't care, just to try to mobilize the emotions of his teammates, so that they would not be hit by the loss of a goal in stoppage time in the first half and affect their confidence.
"Since we have lost the goal, we might as well simply look forward, the team is under too much pressure, mistakes are inevitable, no team will not concede the goal, we must guard against arrogance and rashness, play football, how can there only score other people's goals and not lose the ball? To be honest, I don't think there is an irreparable gap between us and our opponents, as long as we take our chances, we will be able to score again in the second half to take the lead! ”
These words are indeed quite appropriate for Ni Tu, because the only person in the team who could pose a threat to Schalke 04 in the first half was afraid of him, and he also helped the team to take the lead, and his team-mates at the back wasted his hard-earned results.
Now that the main master is enlightening everyone, many people are relieved, and the faint depression in the dressing room seems to be less.
The players looked at Ni Tu and nodded yes, their demeanor mostly regained color, and everyone's movements became bigger, as if the computer's mute mode was turned off, and the slightly noisy sound slowly began to echo in the locker room.
"Ni Tu wants to lead the team to regain the lead in the second half of the game, and this idea will not be surprising or ridiculous for everyone to pass through his mouth, because subconsciously everyone knows that he can do what he says!"
Kurtz later reminisced about the past in his little memoir, and now he is a Kaiserslautern manager who has five minutes to discuss with his players.
He heard Ni Tu's sonorous voice outside the door, he was still thinking about how to mobilize the fighting spirit of the team's players, but now this kind of work has been taken over by Ni Tu unconsciously.
"Looks like we don't have to bother too much, don't we?"
Kurtz asked his partner in a good mood, it was more like a one-way sentence, he didn't want to get a reply, Kurtz just wanted to share his joy with someone.
Lutz smiled slightly and said, "Marko, you're right, this Ni Tu is really a treasure we picked up!" ”
"Priceless!"
Kurz responded succinctly that if he could lead the team to defeat Schalke 04 and win the German Cup, what would be the significance of Ni Tu's importance to Kaiserslautern?
"Well, it's time for us to come on, maybe the Schalkes will want to keep up the effort and score our goals in the second half!"
Kurtz returned to the team's dressing room, and he paused, taking advantage of Lutz to add to what Ni Tu had said as he was writing about the team's second-half tactics:
'We played really well in the first half and a draw for the moment was acceptable for us......
Then the manager's words were a turn.
"You should know the importance of this game, in this game, any small mistake can bury the final championship trophy, you don't think that you come to Berlin just to get a silver medal, right? Tell me now, what are we here for? ”
Ni Tu, who was listening to his head coach's speech, took the lead in shouting: "Defeat Schalke and win the championship!" ”
The teammates reacted from the difference in the different speech styles of the two before and after, and were tempered by this "one hot and one cold water", at least in this game, they are a good piece of steel.
"Beat Schalke and win the championship!"
"Beat Schalke and win the championship!"
The atmosphere in the dressing room continued to be high, and the players all had the spirit of a wild wolf at this moment, their eyes lit up, as if only the championship trophy could alleviate their "illness".
Then, Kurz signaled everyone to calm down: "Seeing that each of our players is so motivated, at least my confidence in the second half has increased by two points, in the first half we are based on defense, and the second half will be more open and close, Schalke 04 does not want to play extra time with us, or even a penalty shootout, Ni Tu, in the second half, you and Ilicevic are more on the two wings, don't be afraid of mistakes, mistakes have teammates behind you to take the blame for you!" ”
Kurtz first "greeted" Ni Tu and arranged to give him an incomparably free role.
"In the second half, you can do whatever you like and do what you want!"
The manager's request for his players is simple, saying:
"I don't ask for much, I just hope that you can score another goal against the Schalkes while making sure you don't concede a goal!"
Kurz didn't even mind his team playing extra-time against the opposing team, and he didn't mind letting his players play a penalty shoot-out with Schalke in extra time.
In this German Cup final, he is a "defensive master"! What team doesn't practice penalty kicks before the final? It's just that the level of emphasis is not the same, and it is clear that Kaiserslautern is more serious about penalty shoot-outs.
The time to play was about to come, Ni Tu was the first to jump up, was he continuing to boost the morale of his teammates, after he stood up, he slapped himself vigorously, it seemed to be used to boost the morale of the big guys.
"The Schalke 04 players had already come out of the dressing room early and now Kaiserslautern was late, and it seemed that they really studied the way they played in the second half after half-time, and the shadow of conceding a goal in stoppage time in the first half has been haunting them!"
Marcelleff gave his bizarre commentary to Kaiserslautern with Ni Tu.
He actually had a point, Kaiserslautern did study the second half very carefully, but the shadow of their psychology had long since been removed, replaced by a much more aggressive fighting spirit than in the first half, a psychological change that a commentator who was bent on finding fault would not have noticed.
The second half started quickly, Kaiserslautern served, and Ni Tu completed a breakthrough as soon as he came up.
With little energy wasted in the first half, he was able to get past Krueger with great ease, and he was in the middle of the pitch this time, with left, centre and right now in his sphere of influence.
And with this successful breakthrough, it seems to announce that a different trend is quietly coming!
