224 Attack is a smoke grenade
'It's not my forte to score goals, but when the opportunity arises, I don't miss it and I celebrate...
When Halilovic said this as a reporter guided the way to say this, it was doomed to get bigger and bigger, and soon the Hamburg player, defender Papadopoulos, who had just joined on loan from Bayer Leverkusen, responded to his comments that he would celebrate the goal:
'Maybe he doesn't have any feelings for the team he's been to, it's nothing, the important thing is that he didn't have the opportunity. X”
And Hamburg goalkeeper Adler's response was even more damaging:
'Halilovic is a good player, technically fine, but sometimes a little impetuous, obviously he never realised where he was in the team, in Hamburg and it didn't seem to have changed in Freiburg. He obviously didn't realize that his firing power in Freiburg was far behind Wagner and Yu them, and even Leonberry, who joined at the same time, had more chances than him, so the topic of celebrating or not celebrating was based on an illusory imagination..."
Apparently introverted and curious, Halilovich was stunned by the media's ability to provoke and misinterpret them, and then angered by the responses of Papadopoulos and Adler. He's a player who needs to be presence, so even though he knows there is something agitated in his words, he can't help but be impulsive, as evidenced by the fact that he tried several long-range shots in the face of boos from the home fans during his warm-up.
On the way back to the locker room after warming up, Sunset walked up to Halilovich and cared:
"Hey Harry, don't mind what they say, your importance in the team is not something they can deny..."
Halilovich glanced in the direction of his former teammate on the other side and forced a smile:
"Thank you, Yu, I know, I'll keep a good attitude..."
At half past six o'clock in the afternoon of February 18th, Freiburg's 21 rounds of matches were played in Germany's second largest city, the People's Park Stadium in Hamburg on the Elbe River, which can accommodate 57,000 people The World Cup stadium was crowded with fans from both sides, and also attracted the attention of many media and football circles.
It will be a very important game, as Bayern Munich were held to a 1-1 draw away at Hertha Berlin before this game and a win away from Freiburg would lift them at the top of the table, which would be an exciting moment for Freiburg to achieve this at almost two-thirds of the way through the Bundesliga.
However, as soon as the game began, Streich couldn't help but look at Hamburg coach Giesdor in the command area next to him, secretly hating that people are not ancient, and they are begging for a life in the Bundesliga, but they don't even have the most basic sincerity.
But soon Streich shook his head and threw away his naïve complaints, nervously thinking about what he had to do.
Gistor shouted before the game to suppress Freiburg's offensive ability, but when he arrived at the field, he put on a solid bus, and even the right winger position was standing with defender Dickmeier, the overall formation was compressed very closely, and the attack was only put into Philip Kostic, Hobbit, and Allencht two or three people, which looked like they were going to attack.
At least one of the things about Gisdor's pre-match remarks was sincere, he did take the defense of Yu very seriously, and he also used a compact formation to compress the space for the rest of the space despite the displeasure of the home fans. That's why I say Sunset is the best No. 10 for the poor team, and he has to get the most out of his characteristics when he moves and rushes. When Hamburg learned from Hertha Berlin and Cologne and positioned themselves as underdogs, playing with a dense defense, Sunset struggled. Of course, I'm looking forward to his performance to refute my point of view, and as a supporter of him, I'll gladly apologize..."
As soon as Schmitz saw Hamburg set up the bus, he directly expressed his disdainful attitude towards Sunset, much to the surprise of his partner Hannah Zommore. But combined with Sunset's technical and physical characteristics, as well as his not excellent in-situ skills and confrontation ability, I still agree with Schmitz's words very much.
"It's true that Yu is characterized by the ability to connect and process from static to dynamic, moving to moving, and now Hamburg's compact formation leaves him with no space to handle the ball, which will indeed be a bit troublesome... It is clear that Coach Streich was misled by Gisdor's pre-match remarks and chose Günther to be more defensive than attacking instead of Yu's attacking wingman Follenbach, and the right wing-back also rested Stenzel... It looks like Freiburg and Yu are in some trouble, let's see how they solve it, and expect some surprises..."
Streich was indeed a little confused by Gistor's offensive speech factory, and Streich still sent a regular lineup in the frontcourt, except for the normal rotation of Hubler and Leonberry, with Wagner with Habele, midfielder Sunset, Abrahi, Hovler and Halilovich, but the defensive wings still used the more defensive Günther and Ian Wiwski, the central defender was Seyunju with Gould, and the goalkeeper Schworov.
Such a lineup makes it a little difficult for Streich to adjust the iron bucket formation of Hamburg, after all, Peterson, a super substitute striker, is bound to occupy a substitution place, and he also wants to replace Leon Bailey, who has performed well recently, in due course, and also leave a place to deal with accidents, so not to mention the beginning, even after halftime, it is difficult for Streich to make too many adjustments in terms of personnel, and he can only hope that the fine-tuning of the players on the field will change the situation.
And judging by the siege of Hamburg from the beginning, Streich felt that there was enough time to react, and planned to wait and see.
Sunset does need a lot of room to play football, at least before it gets up to speed, as the two Sky Sports commentators said, and this Hamburg team simply didn't give him that opportunity up front. In addition to Dickmeier always by his side, the Hamburg players formed a tight formation in the 45-metre area of their side, preventing him from having a chance to rush. In addition to the dense defensive formation, once he was about to form a breakthrough, he was very resolute in fouling, so that his limited chance to get the ball could only get some free kicks in the middle and back, because he was far away from the danger area and the foul action was not big, and he would not even eat a yellow card.
And when Sunset enters the frontcourt, the Hamburg team is also guarded by Dickmeier, who will not be pulled by him to disrupt the defensive formation, and then use the dense formation to cut off the pass to him, and the striker Alunchette will also press the midfield carrier wildly, not giving Halilovic and Abrahi a chance to pass the ball comfortably.
This made the rest of Freiburg's players, who were accustomed to Sunset distributing the direction of the attack and dominating the offensive routine, very uncomfortable. Although it seems that the attack initiated by the other players in the midfield directly with a long pass is very lively, the coordination is not skillful, so it only blossoms and does not bear fruit, so that the Hamburg fans, who were still a little unhappy at the beginning, can see the doorway.
