Chapter 20: Van der Vaart's Tactics to Break the Enemy

The so-called disadvantage is not the possession time of the two teams, but the threat caused, the Hamburg team has possession of the ball, but it is actually difficult to advance under the crazy pressing and active defense of the Schalke 04 team, but the Schalke 04 attack is impressive.

The hearts of the Hamburg fans in front of the TV began to tug again, they knew that the team's fragile defence, it was estimated that according to the current development, it would not be long before they would be conceded again.

"Song! Come here! Van der Vaart took advantage of the injury and collapse of his goalkeeper and quickly called Song Zhong to his side.

"Captain, what's the matter?" Song Zhong ran in front of Van der Vaart in small steps and asked inexplicably.

Van der Vaart glanced left and right, as if he had something unsavory to tell Song Zhong.

After confirming that there was no one around, Van der Vaart grabbed Song Zhong, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was like a big brother hugging a little brother, and said a little proudly: "If we continue to play like this, there will definitely be no chance of winning, I have a way to attack here now!" ”

"What a way!" Song Zhong blurted out directly.

"I'll tell you ......"

Before Van der Vaart's words could be fully spoken, a head suddenly appeared in the middle of the two, startling the two of them.

Then a cheap voice came out: "What are you two discussing, so mysterious, as an offensive partner, do you want me to let me know." ”

The source of this humble voice is, of course, Calhanoglu, who helped Hamburg score their second goal.

Calhanoglu's presence is very low, and sometimes Song Zhong thinks that he should not be a player, but a referee.

Time was in a hurry, and Van der Vaart didn't have time to Calhanoglu to talk poorly, and said directly: "You found that there was no other side after replacing the striker after Stadt, and actually let Goretzka retreat, and the defensive dynamics on the opposite side were basically Jermaine Jones guarding Song, and Goretzka was focusing on me." ”

At this time, Song Zhong looked at Calhanoglu with a meaningful expression.

Originally, the cheap expression on Calhanoglu's face disappeared immediately, and he was replaced with a serious expression, the main reason why Schalke 04 let him go like this is that his performance today is average, almost invisible, plus his pitiful sense of existence, but this is also the case, which gave him such a good opportunity to score that goal.

"But the opponent's offensive pivot point is also Goretzka, this person should not be underestimated, while defending me, he also grasps the team's attack, but it is also like this, his physical consumption is also very large! This is what I felt in the direct confrontation with him, this kid is almost at the limit of his physical strength! ”

After saying that, Van der Vaart showed that everyone understood.

Song Zhong also nodded, he knew what to do next.

Only Calhanoglu was still confused: "What do you two mean by this, isn't it that this kid is almost at the limit of his physical strength, we continue to consume him, but how can we consume him!" You two can't do this, don't talk and hide half of it! ”

"Tell him!" Van der Vaart looked at Calhanoglu with an unteachable face, but he himself was very excited to propose this strategy, he was depressed in Real Madrid, and in Hamburg, he was a god-like existence, after all, he has too many juniors in this team, such as Song Zhong and Calhanoglu, both of whom are quite talented, but they have insight into the situation on the field.

"Humph! The two of them are still a little tender! ”

On the other side, Calhanoglu and Song Zhong walked to their positions, and Song Zhong also told Calhanoglu what to do immediately.

"Immediately we will pass the ball to the captain, because Goretzka is more focused on defending him, as soon as he gets the ball, Goretzka will soon lean in, and then you will know when you go to pick it up!"

"There is one less midfielder on the opposite side than we are, and your place must be a winger to fill in, or Goretzka goes to your place and you just pass the ball out then!"

How can Goretzka be talented, and he is also a young man, which is Van der Vaart and Song Zhong, the old fritters who have experienced society in their previous lives, are "vicious"!

Once it is passed to Calhanoglu, and the opponent's winger is not in place, it is an opportunity, if it is not in place, then it will have to rely on Goretzka to make up the defense, as for Jermaine Jones, he will definitely be led by Song Zhong at that time is not in the position of the best defense Calhanoglu.

It was Goretzka's first game, he was substituted after 12 minutes, and his physical strength should have been able to support until the end of the game, but in this game, he only thought about the performance, so that the physical energy was not well distributed.

Of course, Schalke 04's head coach Keller also knows this, but he has no choice but to replace Goretzka in 12 minutes if he has a move.

"Hey, hey, hey! I get it! Leave it to me, and I'll get it done! Calhanoglu's face had the same look on his face as he had been earlier.

Through the contact with Calhanoglu, Song Zhong also knows that although Calhanoglu has good passing ability, he is not the kind of handsome midfielder, but a general!

Of course, Song Zhong also has his own tasks, Van der Vaart gave Song Zhong the task of containing Jermaine Jones at the same time, taking advantage of Goretzka's mistake in the midfield, he was able to enter the penalty area in time.

If Song Jong is too far forward, Jermaine Jones will hand over the defensive task to the defender to help Goretzka, if he is too far back, he may not be able to keep up with the passing rhythm of the midfield and run into the penalty area.

…………

Hamburg's goalkeeper Adler lay on the goal line for a long time before getting up, which was also a strategy for him, after all, the team's defense is a bit tight right now, and he is giving his teammates time to breathe and head coach Fink to rearrange the defense.

Shortly after the restart, Schalke 04 launched another dangerous attack.

In the 69th minute, Schalke 04's right-back Atsuto Uchida made a cross from the right side, and the unguarded Scholoy beat the Hamburg defender's header in the center of the small penalty area, but the angle was too positive and was brilliantly saved by Adler.

It was clear that the substitution did not disappoint manager Keller, and he won the applause of the home fans with his wonderful performances again and again.

"Today's two substitutions by the Schalke 04 manager were very successful, even the passive substitution in the opening 12 minutes, the performance of the substitute teenager Goretzka was very good! It's almost hard to fault anything! Smith commented as he watched Sholoy's brilliant performance.
