Chapter 160: Dead Guard
No wonder they fought so fiercely in the first half!
Neururell reacted immediately, and his opponent didn't intend to maintain that kind of high-intensity scramble throughout the game, but intended to defend it as soon as he took the lead.
Judging from the previous Bochum games, the players are not good at breaking dense defense, even Shen Peng: when facing a weak team, Shen Peng's goals are not as good as those of a strong team, because strong teams generally believe in their defenders and focus on offense, which gives Shen Peng a great opportunity, while the weak team will defend against Shen Peng, so when facing a weak team, Shen Peng scores fewer goals and more assists.
Of course, Shen Peng also has an excellent long-range shooting ability, but now the Bundesliga team is not as good as the original Bundesliga team, plus they all know Shen Peng's ability, so the general long-range shot cannot threaten their goal.
However, Neururell is not afraid, they have also faced teams that have defended before, but few have been able to hold on completely.
The stadium is so big, unless all eleven people stand in front of the goal in a row, there will always be a gap between the positions, and the attacking players will definitely have defensive players to defend when they want to pass through these gaps, so that the defensive formation will change, and then it depends on the tactical game on both sides and the individual players play.
It is precisely Shen Peng who is a person who has good skills and play, as long as Shen Peng can find a chance to score a goal, then Freiburg's plan will be all in vain.
But the situation on the field was a little different from what he expected, until the 40th minute of the game, Bochum did not have a decent attack, not even a few shots, let alone scored.
Neu Rurel looked at the situation on the field with his brows twisted, the reason why this situation occurred in this game was because in this game, Shen Peng was a little "invisible".
And Shen Peng's situation is because of the two team members who specialize in defending him......
Shen Peng also feels very awkward now, because every time he gets the ball, there will be two players on the opposite side to defend him, and when defending him, there will be many small movements to affect his next move, making him unable to comfortably take the ball to pass.
Although one of the players had already received a yellow card for this, he had no intention of relenting.
Freiburg coach looked at the field with some smugness at this time, at present, it seems that his tactics in the first half were very successful, Shen Peng was restricted throughout the field, Shen Peng is currently Bochum's offensive center, as long as Shen Peng is restricted, then Bochum's offense will come to a standstill, although there are teams that have taken this into account before, but they have not done it thoroughly, and will always let Shen Peng seize some opportunities, so he simply let the two players train to deal with Shen Peng.
As for that yellow card...... This is Freiburg's home stadium, and the referee will generally think about the home stadium a little, so a yellow card is already a "fair" performance of the referee, as long as the action is not big, the referee will basically not award the second chapter yellow card.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if that player has a tendency to eat a second yellow card, he will immediately let the players on the field change positions and replace a player who has not eaten a card, he has not only prepared two players for Shen Peng, but also a spare one, which is in another position at this time.
So, he wasn't worried at all.
The last few minutes of the first half were over, Bochum didn't get much of a chance and Freiburg had no intention of attacking again, and after that goal, they didn't even have a shot on goal, and there were very few players even past half.
At half-time, Bochum's players were depressed, and it was clear that Freiburg had prepared well enough to make them suffer a loss, and if they didn't make some changes, the game could have ended 1-0.
Neururell didn't have a good idea for a while, after all, he was only a coach in the Bundesliga before, and his level was limited.
"In the second half, you guys try to shoot from distance, we were not prepared for this game, it's my responsibility, everyone doesn't have too much pressure, even if you lose, it's nothing." Neururell had to say that after a week of preparation, it was obvious that he could not come up with a countermeasure in these dozens of minutes.
As for other aspects, he also raised some of the problems he found, and the rest is only to see the performance of the players.
The situation in the second half was still the same, and the home fans also knew that the current situation of the team was not optimistic, so they were not harsh on the team, as long as they could win, whatever it was, so even if Freiburg was shrunk into a ball, they were cheering for the team.
The game lasted until the thirty minutes of the second half, that is, the seventy-fifth minute of the whole game, Freiburg ate another yellow card, this time it was another player who defended Shen Peng who pushed someone to foul, at this time, the two of them each ate a yellow card, and if someone ate a card, they would be sent off with a red card.
At this time, in order to show his fairness and try not to offend the home fans, if there is another foul, the referee will send one of them off at the end of the game.
In this way, he did justice and the impact of one less person towards the end of the game was not very great, so Freiburg would probably hold on to the scoreline, and after the team won, the Freiburg fans will forget about it in the blink of an eye.
So in order to avoid this, Streich hurriedly signaled that the spare player should replace one of the carded players, and due to the pre-match explanation, this backup player would take on most of the defensive tasks at this time, minimizing the risk.
After doing this, Streich sat down in his seat, and by this time he seemed to have seen the goddess of victory beckoning to him.
And as the game progressed, the Bochum players were also a little anxious.
Although Neururell did not ask for a win, they now have a chance to win the Bundesliga, because they are already 2-0 ahead of Bayern Munich at the same time on the other side, and if they lose to Freiburg, the gap with Bayern Munich will widen to nine points, and it is almost impossible to surpass Bayern Munich in the standings.
For many of the team's players, they have never been so close to the Bundesliga championship in their lives, so it is inevitable that they will have some gains and losses, which will affect their performance.
Seeing that the state of the players was a little deformed, Neururell also sighed, sat back in his chair, a defeat is inevitable, now I just hope that the team will not lose their fighting spirit in the next games, otherwise, this season is likely to not even be able to play in the Champions League, although the Europa League is not a big problem, but this gap, the average person may be a little difficult to accept.
