Chapter 170: Warm-up Match (Part II)
The warm-up match against Eintracht Frankfurt has been going on for 10 minutes and so far neither side has achieved anything, and the score is 0-0.
Kaiserslautern seemed to have finally shown their depleted quality, not only not in terms of the scoreline, but also in the game – the Kaiser players played with great energy.
Ni Tu looked at the beating figures in the field in the corner of the bench, and suddenly had a strong envy in his heart, yes, he also wanted to go up and play football!
Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. The little flame in him began to grow like a wildfire burning in the prairie fire.
Ni Tu is not so optimistic about everything that happened in this game, the score is 0:0, yes, the scene is not bad, but Kaiserslautern's attack is really a little weak, looking lively, in fact, his team does not bring any real threat to Frankfurt.
Jandrisek seemed to work hard in this game, but his effort did not resonate with the team in a sense, which meant that the striker was somewhat out of the team's system.
Football is a team sport and that's the biggest charm of it, it's great to play individually, but everything has to be supported by a strong team, and for Kaiser's main striker he needs to understand that.
Kurtz was also keeping an eye on the pitch, a little nervous and hoping that his team would bring some extra surprises, but it seemed to be a bit of a struggle.
"The team's attacking problems have to be solved, and it certainly won't work with one Jandrisek, because the impact of his form on the team is too great, and the player's heart is no longer here...... It would be nice if he could play in Kaiser with peace of mind! The head coach muttered to himself that Kurz had to find a solution to the problem before the start of the new season, and that was to solve the team's offensive inadequacy.
It's fair to say that Jandarek has nothing to blame for anything other than being out of the team's system, whether it's a salary increase or a job elsewhere, he has the right to express his demands. Even if he hates someone, whether he hates Chairman Kuntz, or head coach Kurtz, or looks down on the recruit Ni Tu, as long as he doesn't interfere with the normal interests of these people, he can hate it as much as he wants.
His only mistake is to stay out of the team, no matter what a person's future holds, "being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day" is the minimum code of conduct for people to do things. Just like in the workplace, even if you plan to quit your job, as long as you are an employee of this company for one day, you have to take on the responsibility for one day. ……
Thirty-five minutes into the game, the score between Kaiserslautern and Eintracht Frankfurt remained unchanged. Visitors Eintracht Frankfurt don't seem to be in a hurry, they are still "slowly" looking for a good opportunity to break the balance.
Djandrysek's long-range shot from outside the box was an anti-aircraft gun, he had to shoot or the ball would have been lost, and it might have been better if he had passed the ball to a team-mate in the middle before he cut inside.
Kurtz cursed in his heart: "Bastard! "He's expressing his displeasure, this ball Driesek can certainly choose to cut inside, the key is that Hesse's movement is very good, and passing to him is a big opportunity!
Kaiserslautern has been thundering and raining so hard that a good opportunity was wasted, and it was a shame for anyone in the team, including the players on the pitch and Ni Tu on the bench.
It's shameful to waste an opportunity, and God will punish you for wasting an opportunity, this sentence is not false at all. As Kaiserslautern was sighing, Eintracht Frankfurt seized their chance to "finally" break the deadlock in the 40th minute......
Kurtz was very sad when he was scored in the second half of the first half, and the players on the field were also very depressed. The most worrying result is still coming, and some people must be thinking: "In the end, it is the powerhouse of the First Division, not our Second Division team!" ”
At halftime, due to only one goal behind, Kurtz did not rush to make substitutions out of safety, and Ni Tu and other substitutes were once again left aside.
But after the start of the second half, Eintracht Frankfurt obviously exerted their strength, and the whole process was a cat-and-mouse game, Frankfurt was a cat, and Kaiserslautern was a mouse. The Bundesliga powerhouses began to work hard, even if it was just a warm-up game, they wanted to move their muscles well, and when the cats had enough, Kaiserslautern was not in a good situation.
Thanks to the excellent performance of the back line led by Amedic, otherwise the score would not have been as simple as 0:1. However, no matter how good the defense is, there are always times when it is not in place, and there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the game came to the 63rd minute, and Eintracht Frankfurt finally scored again. With a score of 0:2 and almost a third of the time remaining, Kaiserslautern seems to be unable to escape the end of defeat......
Kurtz shook his head on the sidelines, the team he took over obviously needed further adjustment, and they didn't win a single warm-up game. But whether to adjust or not to adjust will have to wait until after the game, and as a manager, what he needs to do now is to try to change some of the situation on the field as much as possible. There are two ways to change the situation, one is to change the current tactical arrangement, and the other is to make simple and crude substitutions.
"Isn't it time for a change? It's time for the newcomers to come out and feel the atmosphere, maybe the unique hard work of the newborn calf will bring a different situation? Kurz thought to himself.
Finally made up his mind, he beckoned his partner to call the players who had warmed up on the sidelines back and prepared to play.
"It's time for them to play, right, Rutz?"
"Understood!" Lutz was ordered to turn around and leave the arrangement.
The home team made five changes at once this time, most of them midfielders, and Ni Tu was honoured not to come on as a substitute in the 80th minute, leaving him with about 25 minutes.
The Chinese player's chance has finally arrived.
According to the pre-arrangement, Lutz is explaining the precautions to the players who are about to play.
"Ni Tu, you replace Djan Derisek after you come on the field, dribble more on the left side, disrupt their right corridor, things may be difficult, do your best!"
Ni Tu received a task that was not light, although he replaced the starting striker, but he did not appear in the absolute forward position, appearing on the side may also be a good thing for him, able to minimize the physical confrontation with the opponent, avoid his weaknesses.
"I'll try to get it done, Coach!" Ni Tu nodded and said to Lutz, his inner monologue was "I will definitely finish it!" ”
He looked a little eager to try, and he really looked like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers!
