049 Battle for the top of the leaderboard
The head coach was tense and warmed up for the game in advance.
The battle for the top spot started before he entered the field, and Jiang Shan and Femmer had a tacit understanding and cheered for the team in the same way.
Jiang Shan tweaked the starting lineup a bit, sending out a lineup of 352, Starval started and appeared in the right central defender position.
He is a rare generalist who can play in every position in the midfield, but only average, not top-notch. At most, it's a poor man's version of O'Shea, the man who claims to be able to play 11 positions.
Pandel and Lahm became wing-backs, dominating a wide line, with a thick midfield, with Larne joining Heatersperberger and Kai again.
Up front, Kuranyi and Dorante took the starting positions. Diddick and Hutt were on the bench, waiting for their chance to play.
Hoffenheim's players have been unremarkable this season, with the top scorer being Kuranyi, who scored 10 goals in almost half of the game, which is not at all comparable to last season's goal rate, but he has four more assists, which is more comprehensive than last season.
Larne is the team's biggest discovery, full of energy, can rush and grab, and can also shoot from outside the penalty area, Hoffenheim's midfield butcher, has attracted the attention of many teams. It's a pity that Jiangshan marked a price of up to 12 million marks for him, which scared away many teams.
After the transformation, Kai is also getting better, and has contributed 5 assists so far this season, which is quite sharp, and he has not lost his side defense, and has also made up for some tips for middle defense, and the quality of the whole person has improved a lot.
In the latest issue of Bild, Kai is worth more than 4 million marks. Of course, Ram is worth up to 8 million marks, Pander is even higher, 9 million marks, and the team's top card Kuranyi is worth 10 million marks, all of which have risen a notch.
Saarbrücken was in a traditional 442 formation, with a strong impact on the flanks and particularly precise crosses, with Sanneno and Epizik waiting to strike Hoffenheim at any moment.
The combination of midfielders Mann and Kohler has been almost unstoppable in this season's game and has been the biggest contributor to the team's dominance at the top of the table so far.
Together, the duo scored 11 goals for Denan United, a high rate of goals, seven of which were from distance, and the threat is considerable as long as the pair are in front of the opposition box.
Goalkeeper Pockman has kept five clean sheets this season, second only to Hoffenheim's Wiese. Wiese is already recognized as the No. 1 goalkeeper of Denan United, worth as much as 8 million marks, not to mention the Bundesliga team, even the German national team is paying attention to his performance.
"The battle for the top of the list, this is a fierce collision, sisters, who do you think will win?" In the audience, several women were chattering and discussing, looking beautiful, all of them were models.
Several women appeared in the stands, which instantly attracted the attention of fans, but I didn't expect that there were still beautiful women in Huocun, and it seems that the name of Hoffenheim of the Blues has begun to attract fans from other places.
"I don't know who's going to win, but I don't think Jiangshan will at least lose." Heidi Krum was full of confidence and looked at Jiang Shan with joy, familiar people, "Jiang Shan's ability to control the game is better than other coaches." ”
"Don't say it, you're really young. But you said he's only 23 years old, I don't believe it, no matter how you look at it, it's over 30 years old......" Tyra Banks licked her lips, "I don't know how the ability is?" ”
Heidi Krum gave a blank look, "Nymphomaniac, it also depends on whether the country wants to do it or not!" ”
"Go, as long as I come forward, there is no man who can't be seduced." Banks said proudly, "Men, they are all animals that think with their lower bodies. Why don't you make an appointment in the evening? ”
"Oh, yes! If you can ask him out, I'll support you. "Krum was a little displeased. Xin said, "I haven't been able to seduce the man, you can do it?" ”
"About him? Of course you're here! Isn't it you who do it today? Banks chuckled and snorted, "But as long as you make an appointment, I can keep him from going back." But don't mess around, you've just gotten divorced and you definitely want a man. ”
"I'll talk about it after the game! Look at the meaning of the country. I don't know him very well. ”
At the beginning of the game, the two sides began to test and rub each other, and gradually generated the heat of the game.
Aside from the individual ability of the players, in terms of formation alone, the 352 formation discharged by Jiangshan restrained Saarbrücken's 442 formation to a certain extent. At least defensively, they feel more secure.
After the 352 formation is spread out, it is a set of water, which can be used to hold a lot of water, and can also be used as a balloon to blow and net Saarbrücken's attack.
Rub, rub. Both teams are trying to their heart's content, and soon they all know how deep and shallow each other is and what the bottom is.
It was fast, 30 minutes had passed, and although there were no goals on either side, some chances were created, and the forwards on both sides had chances to shoot, but they couldn't pierce the film.
In the 37th minute, Pandel received a return pass from Larne and suddenly burst into action, and his instinct told him it was time to shoot.
Bang! The ball was blocked by Saneno in the box.
Kulanyi was quick-eyed, took the ball on the edge of the penalty area, picked it up lightly, passed it, flashed out of space, shot at goal, and did it all in one go.
Kuranyi's shots are getting more and more tricky and more and more general-like. Jiang Shan knew when he saw him get up on his feet that the ball was there.
Hoffenheim finally pierced the membrane with two consecutive shots on goal and took the lead at home.
In the 38th minute, the score became 1:0.
In the battle for the top spot before Christmas, Jiangshan's team is ahead, and in terms of the standings, they have successfully reached the top. Yes, as long as the score is maintained until the end of the game, they will have another prize to pay.
In the second half, Femmer deployed troops and led the team to counterattack. Saarbrücken has been the team with the most reversals this season and he is confident of completing the comeback. How can Jiangshan's team turn around? No, not a single one.
The games won were the first to be scored. And the 3 games that were lost were all scored later, and they couldn't complete the reversal.
Saarbrücken forgot that the team could not be boasted of otherwise, but the defense was absolutely top-notch, quite tough, hard, like an iron bar. Even against Bayern, they will be able to keep the goal, let alone prepare for the match against Saarbrücken.
In the 69th minute, Saarbrücken was attacked by Hoffenheim again.
Kai's long pass, which penetrated four defenders, landed at the feet of Kuranyi. Kuranyi ran wildly with the ball and crossed to captain Dorante, who completed the final attack.
One step in the penalty area, shooting, goalkeeper Pokman couldn't react, the ball had already entered the net when he fell to save, lying on the ground, looking at the sky, helpless.
Femmer was depressed, how could he be one-sided after a good game? In the pre-game preparations, none of the tactics played well, and all of them were useless.
Hoffenheim took a two-goal lead to seal the win. The battle for the top spot of Denan United was uneventful.
