Chapter 119: Chain Defense (5)
"This coach is not simple" Ma Qingguo did not scold, but praised Frank Schmidt.
"Old Ma, aren't you too ambitious to destroy your own prestige," Du Qing said dissatisfied.
"Decisive and resolute, know how to make trade-offs, and the most important thing is not to pay attention to face, this kind of person is also a good hand if he starts a company"
"Is that awesome?"
"Yes"
……
Although the contempt of the fans had already reached Frank Schmidt's eyes, he still sat in the dugout, as if the abuse outside was directed at another person.
This little fox.
Heiko unconsciously elevated him to another position in his heart, and as a manager who is only 37 years old, Frank Schmidt has done well enough.
Four years ago, when he was only 33 years old, he chose to hang up his boots and took the lead of Heidenheim, who was in the amateur league at the time, and in just two years he led Heidenheim to the Bundesliga, which also caused a commotion at the time.
However, in the past two years, Heidenheim has not made any waves in the German C, and the strength of Jena has always been comparable, and several encounters have won and lost each other.
Unexpectedly, Heidenheim, who had been dull for two years, turned into a dark horse again this season, and fought all the way to the top three, and Frank Schmidt was more decisive and ruthless than before.
After Jena replaced Björn and Steffen and restrained Heidenheim with a new formation, Frank Schmidt did not hesitate at all, and directly set up the iron bucket, which really made Heiko extremely painful.
Both attacking players were withdrawn by him, and Frank Schmidt immediately seized on the weakness.
This time it was Haike's turn to be distressed.
It's not that he has no way to crack the iron bucket formation, but at this time he doesn't want to take this risk, although Heidenheim's formation suddenly shrunk, and it looks like an iron bucket on the outside, but their two forwards have also been defending near the center circle.
After half-time they did not retreat, but stayed firmly in the middle circle, waiting for the attack to begin.
Although there is a bit of a disconnect between the defense and the forward, Haike can still see the hidden killing motive with his rich experience.
So Haike could only let the players play freely, and he decided to take a closer look at the game.
Frank Schmidt was relieved to see that Heiko didn't move.
To be honest, now he and Haike are afraid of beating wolves, and he is actually gambling on leaving two strikers in the middle circle, and he bets that the goalkeeper has taboos about the attack just now.
Unexpectedly, he bet right, that Ye Xin let his teammates foul in the penalty area not to show that he was good at defending penalty kicks, but because he was not sure to defend the two of them and run at the same time.
In fact, that kind of attack is not easy to play, and the attack that Heidenheim wanted to play in the first half was honestly a bit of luck.
However, he also got Haike's psychology right, and he investigated every coach of the German C, although Haike seemed to be more flamboyant this season, but the caution of a typical German in his bones still couldn't hide from him.
In this case, there is a high probability that Haike will choose a 0-0 draw.
Frank Schmidt's half-truth scare did work, at least Jena didn't have the idea of attacking with all his might right now.
These two nails are not only rooted in the court, but also in Haike's psychology.
To attack or not to attack, that's the question.
Heiko is in a dilemma at this time, if he attacks with all his might, he doesn't believe in his players, 0-0-10 cracking the iron bucket is also effective, it shouldn't be difficult to score, but if there is a mistake, Heidenheim can play a beautiful counterattack nine times out of ten.
And Ye Xin just made it clear that he was not sure to hold this kind of 2V1 attack, so the two Heidenheim strikers in the middle circle made Heike dare not let go.
If he scored a goal and Heidenheim didn't score, it was Jena who earned it.
But if they score a goal and Heidenheim also scores, even if it's a draw, then Jena loses and the long-established clean sheet myth will be shattered, which will undoubtedly be a blow to the confidence of the players.
And this blow effect can spread, not only Ye Xin's fans, it is estimated that Jena's fans will also be a little depressed.
What worries Haike even more is whether Ye Xin's state will decline after scoring this goal, because many goalkeepers have conceded a goal by inertia after conceding a goal in a certain game.
A 0-0 story isn't necessarily a good choice.
Thinking of this, Haike glanced at Frank Schmidt with deep meaning, if this person had anticipated his choice early on, then Haike had to admit that he was a gambling expert.
Even so, Heiko didn't make any tactical changes in the end, and Heidenheim's Frank Schmidt did the same, and Heidenheim finally held out until the final whistle when Jena couldn't attack for a long time.
0:0
Heidenheim managed to get a point from the Ernst Abbe Stadium.
"Alas, why doesn't the head coach of Jena dare to go up, with Ye Shen here, what are you afraid of" Du Qing said helplessly.
Ma Qingguo shook his head.
"Heiko has a reason for doing this, and the 0-to-0 result is a good choice for Jena"
"Oh? How so? Du Qing looked at Ma Qingguo's expression and suddenly became interested, as far as he knew, Ma Qingguo had been a fan for decades, and he was also very interested in analyzing football in the forum.
Especially in the last World Cup, he made accurate predictions for several teams in the top eight, all of which were amazing.
"This has to start from the age and character of Haike......"
******
The post-match press conference was also lively, and the reporters were also very interested in the confrontation between the two head coaches.
"May I ask Mr. Weber, why Jena didn't take any tactical measures with nearly 30 minutes left," a young reporter stood up.
"Young man, don't be so restrained, you can call me Haike" Haike was not very happy to hear his question, but when he saw that it was from the Jena Daily, he suddenly changed his face, but he also cleverly avoided this question by the way.
“…… "The young reporter was a little confused for a while, it shouldn't have been him who came here today, but because the reporter who usually covers football was sick today, it was his turn to interview this time."
It's just that Haike's answer made him not know what to ask for a long time.
The others won't wait for you, and immediately someone else asked.
"May I ask if Woji's foul was instigated by Ye Xin, many of us have heard the word 'foul'" Several other reporters in the audience also nodded.
"How is it possible, you heard it wrong, that's Ye Xin's hometown dialect"
