"Although the first half was not very exciting, the goalkeeper was still very good."

At the end of the first half, Schalke 04 temporarily fell behind 0-1, and the three poisonous tongues in the live broadcast room commented on the first half.

"It's really incredible, in the first half, Zhetian Zhang made 46 passes, 46 successes, the pass success rate is actually 100 percent, you know, this number of passes also includes the most difficult medium and long distance passes." Melmut Sauer exclaimed as he looked at the technical statistics of the first half.

Lothar Mateus exclaimed: "The younger the genius is, the more powerful he is? He tried 3 times, all of them were successful, and once he had a shot on goal, and he scored. The palm is not a goalkeeper at all. ”

Oliver Kahn smiled wryly: "He is not a traditional goalkeeper in the first place, and his interpretation of the goalkeeper position is even more advanced than Manuel's. ”

Sauer and Mateus looked at each other and nodded.

Manuel Neuer created the "goalkeeper", and there are more and more goalkeepers with outstanding skills at the feet in world football, and modern goalkeepers are increasingly actively involved in the offensive organization of the whole team.

But Zhang Zhetian seems very different, he is bolder than the doorman, to put it simply, what Neuer can do, he can do, but Neuer can't do it, dare not do it, can't do it, but Palm Zhetian can do it.

Neuer dares to run from the back to the opponent's front with a long-range shot like Zhang Zhetian?

Neuer dares to take a free kick like a palm yell? Goalkeepers who are good at free-kicks seem to have always been the preserve of South Americans, and in Europe, the most goalkeepers can do is to take penalties.

Manuel Neuer's footwork is good, but he hasn't reached the point where he can make the crucial pass that feeds the striker.

In the first half, there were 5 key passes from Zhang Zhetian, but unfortunately, the RB Leipzig players vomited.

In the first half of the game, a full 45 minutes, most of the time there was really no wonderful process, and the only thing that could be played repeatedly was Zhang Zhetian's one-stop goal and save.

"Oliver, Schalke No.10's penalty, can you save?" Mateus looked with interest at Kahn, the former German international and the famous Golden Lion King of Europa.

The Cologne Institute of Physical Education in Germany once introduced in the "2012-13 European Football Yearbook" that the average speed of penalty kicks shot by penalty operators in major European leagues reached 201 km/h, and the time from running to shooting was less than a quarter of a second.

However, it is such an unfair duel that has created one goalkeeper myth after another.

Germany has always produced good goalkeepers, especially those who are good at saving penalty kicks.

Let's just say that the retired lion king Kahn in the live broadcast room, 60 penalty kicks in the Bundesliga, 11 saves, 2 kicks, and a save success rate of 18.33%, and 14 penalty kicks in the Champions League, 4 saves, with a save success rate of 28.57%.

The most important save came in the 2000/01 Champions League final, where he saved three penalties in the penalty shoot-out to help Bayern Munich win the fourth trophy in the club's history, which was the peak of Kahn's moment.

"I'm going to be fooled by feints." Kahn candidly replied that his success rate in the Bundesliga is actually not high, and relatively speaking, it is in important games, especially penalty shootouts, that he can only improve his save rate.

As long as you are in the most important moments, you can play beyond the usual level, and friends who have played professional football will feel this way.

"The palm maintains a 100 percent save success rate." "I have a hunch that from today onwards, as long as he is still in charge of the Bundesliga, he will be the first goalkeeper to dominate the Bundesliga. ”

Kahn and Sauer looked at Ma Dazui in shock, dominating a national league, especially the top league such as Europe's top five leagues, if Melo has dominated Europe for ten years, then, in the next ten years, the one who dominates the Bundesliga, or even Europe, will be a goalkeeper?

"He's not your average goalkeeper. Oliver, Melmut," Mateus laughed, "Do you want to make a bet?" ”

In the second half, Schalke tried to sweeten up the game at the end of the first half, and Schalke continued to take the initiative to attack and maintain the pressure on the ball.

The visitors also responded, pressing heavily and replacing defense with offense.

This was lively, the two sides played against each other in the second half, and the fans who watched were addicted, and the RB Leipzig defense moved forward, and the fans were also excited to see Zhang Zhetian's frequent sweep outside the penalty area.

In the 47th minute, Naby Keita fouled and received a Topaz card, Schalke 04 got a free kick opportunity in front, Leon Goretzka took the penalty, and the ball shot went straight to the corner of the goal, which was saved by Zhang Zhetian.

In the 52nd minute, Zhang Zhetian went out to the outside of the penalty area to destroy the ball behind Schalke, and at the same time, he fed the cake to Marcel Sabitzer on the right side, and the Austrian right winger rose up and hit the goal directly on the right side of the penalty area, and was beautifully knocked out of the bottom line by Ralph Fairman.

In the 58th minute, Zhang Zhetian received Willy Orban's return pass from outside the arc of the penalty area, Franco Di Santo stepped up, Zhang Zhetian's beautiful feint past the Argentine, and then made a long pass to Joseph Poulsen, whose header was ferried, Timo Werner volleyed on the line of the penalty area, and Ferman fell to the ground again to save the ball.

Compared to the bland in the first half, the two sides played real fire in the second half, and if it weren't for Felix Tswil's clever means, I don't know how many players would have received a Topaz card.

In the 62nd minute, both sides made substitutions at the same time, the home team replaced the physically exhausted Di Santo with No. 16 Fabian Rieser, RB Leipzig last season's Bundesliga assist leader, No. 10 Emil Forsberg came on to replace Conrad Laimer, Keita returned to midfield, and Forsberg played left midfield.

Forsberg's introduction brought order to RB Leipzig's attacking organization, and the Swede also had coach Ralph Hasenhuttl's instructions: "Create more fouls in the front court." ”

Obviously, Hasenhuttl, who is not satisfied with scoring only one goal, still wants to score more, but Schalke's defense is too stable, and the back three will not have a temper to defend Red Bull's attack.

In order to increase the attacking variables, Leipzig used up two substitutions in the 75th minute, with No. 17 Bruma replacing the hard-working but unable to create chances, and No. 29 Jane Kevin Augustine replacing Marcel Halstenburg in a back three.

At this point in the game, Domenico Tedesco sighed, knowing that with the team's attacking power, there was no way to equalize, so in the 78th minute, two midfielders (No. 6 Johannes Gaiss and No. 2 Weston McKennie) were used in succession to replace the front-court players (Amine Harriet and Jevhen Konoplyanka) to strengthen the defense.

Tedesco wanted to lose a little, but Hasenhuttl was unforgiving, Leipzig was like drinking Red Bull, the more crazy they played, and finally in the 86th minute, McKennie, who had just been on the field, brought down Forsberg, received the Topaz card, and gave the opponent a well-placed set-piece.

Tedesco looked up to the sky and sighed, and Hassenhuttl shook his fist and yelled, and the reaction of both sides fell into the eyes of those who cared, causing them to smile.

Because the only active free-kick goalkeeper in world football, the master Zhetian, ran to the penalty spot with a smile on his face at the moment and gave a thumbs up to Forsberg, who made the set-piece.
