131 The thrill of passing
Originally, Streich would not have sent Sunset in the first half even if the fans called him, but some of Freiburg's situation on the field was out of control and someone was in dire need of someone to stabilize the situation first, so Sunset appeared in the first half.
This scene deeply stimulated Gu Shuo, Wang Yifan, and Niu Xinqi who watched the game in the stands, and also made Nie Lei, who watched the game in China, excited.
In fact, Sunset's cool appearance is completely disguised, and if familiar people see his warm-up movements, they will find that he is already trembling with excitement, so that some of Sunset's warm-up movements, which usually pursues the standard of action and are almost paranoid, are a little deformed.
"Hey, relax, Yu. It's one thing for the fans to shout at you, but it's another for you to mess things up..."
Sunset's excitement can't be hidden from those who are familiar with him, and the captain of the team, Schuster, who warmed up with him, is certainly aware of it. He knew that Sunset would deliberately lie down when he was tired and then train the basic movements in order to ensure the standard of movement, just to ensure the standard of movement when his body was exhausted.
And now, just warming up, Sunset has made two mistakes, and he won't believe it if he doesn't get excited.
Schuster's words reminded Sunset in time, and yes, the fans' love and hate were instantaneous. At the end of the day, it's football, and excitement is bad for football.
Before he could say thank you, Sunset was called into the game by Fassler, who replaced him with Khufnagar, a counterpoint substitution.
Sunset was substituted on the court at 35 minutes, and her first task was not to assist or score, but to stabilize the situation on the court and the emotions of her teammates. And this, neither Fassler nor tactical coach Jankovsky had much to do, only Streich confessed two sentences, so that he could respond and pass more.
This coincides with Sunset's thoughts, and after coming on the court, Sunset has been running non-stop, responding, short passing, running and receiving, and then short passing... In the simple and successful passing and combing with teammates, the emotions of teammates gradually stabilized, and mistakes and impatience were slowly reduced.
After Sunset came on the field, St. Pauli was obviously a little worried, after all, it was not one or two teams that were harmed by Sunset's assists and goals off the bench, and no Bundesliga team would ignore him, even if he was just a young, thin Chinese player.
First of all, right-back Horn Shu reduced the range of assists and recovered a lot to prevent Sunset's high-speed breakaway. Then he separated the back and stared at Sunset every step of the way, guarding him tightly.
But the script didn't go the way St. Pauli wanted it to be, Sunset didn't attack at all, but moved horizontally in the midfield like a midfielder, and occasionally moved forward vertically, and when he encountered some pressure, he decisively passed back and retreated.
Nerig slowed down after running with Sunset for a while, Sunset was always flexible enough to get him behind him, and then handled the ball without delay, not sticking to the ball at all, and the pass was not threatening and only pursued the success rate, and Nerig followed to run around in the center and back at all.
After a few minutes of passing from the back of the court, many commentators who criticized Sunset for being too focused on ineffective possession after coming on the court quickly changed their tune.
After all, Freiburg's offense and defense are obviously much more fluid and organized, and the changes that have occurred in the first ten minutes can be seen at a glance by anyone with a discerning eye, and Sunset's purpose in doing these ineffective balls is also very clear.
That's when St. Pauli realized what he had missed, and it was too late to foul Sunset. Freiburg's form picked up and the offense and passing weren't focused on Sunset alone, and the whole team came back to life.
In the 43rd minute, Freiburg launched another fast attack, and after the ball was broken at the back, two quick passes reached the feet of Sunset, who was standing closer to the middle.
Without waiting for the St. Pauli defenders to make any moves, Sunset half-turned and sent the ball to the right.
Nerig crashed into Sunset's steps and stopped the car in time, and it would be an ironclad foul to hit the ball after it went out, and if the referee contacted the previous few fouls, he would have lost a yellow card.
It's just that what the coach said and what the video showed were not all this No. 36 favorite breakthrough? Why did you change your personality when you played today?
In fact, Sunset no longer needs to adjust the psychology of his teammates through deliberate passing, but at this time, the right side is open, Philip has started at high speed, and the St. Pauli defense is concentrated in the middle and left, and Sunset has no reason to deliberately break through.
The experience of the Hexi varsity team and the U16 team often requires Sunset to lead and sort out a team's attack, which has made him form the habit of passing there when the opportunity is best. This habit also made Freiburg's teammates trust him, and they were sure that Sunset would give the ball to him as long as he had a good chance and a good position, so Sunset's teammates were extremely motivated when he held the ball. Although these are all psychological activities, it is difficult to say one, two, three, but morale, state, and other things are often inspired by these accumulated trusts. Even Philip, who is usually not close, used all his strength to grit his teeth and rush on the right flank, grabbing the fleeting empty crotch left behind the left wing-back who was too far forward. Then, the football appeared in front of him intimately, without even slowing down, and the strength was just right, and it rolled in the direction that Philip wanted with a light touch, which made Philip's fatigue from a long run swept away, and continued to rush towards the St. Pauli penalty area.
Philip, who was dribbling the ball, noticed that Niederlechner had an inconspicuous movement behind his back as he pressed forward at high speed, and he knew that it was the signal that Niederlechner and Sunset had agreed on, which meant that Niederlechner would make a quick stop and retreat within two steps, pulling out a chance to catch the ball and shoot.
Although Philip wanted to play this long-distance run more perfectly, and it was better to score a one-stop goal, Sunset's well-timed and comfortable passing should feel good.
Philip got his foot at random and sent the ball diagonally to the penalty spot. At this time, Niederlechner suddenly stopped and retreated in the process of rushing forward at high speed, and then the football appeared on the side, half-turned and volleyed, and scored in one go.
St. Pauli's midfielders were unable to get back into the box in time due to Sunset's left and right runs, and after Niederlechner shook off the defenders, there was a small empty space around the penalty spot. It was very easy to shoot, everything was planned, the body and mind were prepared, the quality of the shot was naturally very high, the ball speed was fast and tricky, and the St. Pauli goalkeeper was completely powerless and could only watch the football go into the net.
Philip stood on the right flank, watching Niederlechner's movements and results in the penalty area really complete according to the script he had foreseen, and there was a feeling that everything was expected.
"It turns out that this kind of passing can make you feel like a prophet, and this kind of pleasure is not worse than scoring a goal..."
