Chapter 72: A Good Start (2)

Immediately after scoring the second goal, Becker replaced Madinis with Giman, and having such a player in the midfield who loves to attack and does not like to defend is not conducive to the unity of the team's tactical thinking, and what Karlsruhe needs now is to control the situation on the field. The Karlsruhe players understood the manager's intentions and were no longer as eager to score the game-winning goal as they were at 1-0, they calmly played with their opponents in midfield, attacking when they had the chance, and patiently waiting for Higan's players to come up when they didn't have the chance. Looking at the thirty minutes after the game, the time entered the decisive stage of the last fifteen minutes, Becker looked at Mai not far away and did not have the intention of launching a general attack, he smiled slightly and replaced the striker Dundee with defender Barbera again, Dundee is old, it is not easy to play 75 minutes, and now Karlsruhe is no longer attacking, more counterattacking, Dundee's role is not very obvious.

This is Becker's challenge to Mai again, which means that I am going to collect troops, you can do it yourself. Ma Yi stared blankly at the pitch, not knowing what he was thinking, and three minutes later he sent the two strikers on the bench, Rolls and Frijns, onto the pitch, removing a midfielder and a centre-back. This is a completely life-fighting style of play, either the fish dies or the net breaks.

But Karlsruhe, who once defeated the opponent 5-0, is not afraid of the desperate efforts of a team at the end, they have long been sharpening their knives and waiting for the opponent's counterattack, Barbera's play is purely to liberate Li Huan, so that Li Huan can gallop freely in the front and back courts, and do not need to worry about the safety of the rear.

Now Higan is starting to taste the pain of a dense defence, Karlsruhe has five defenders, two defensive midfielders, and the forwards are all aggressively returning to defending, a defensive line that is only stronger than Higan and not weaker than Higan. However, Higan's forward line is obviously inferior to Karlsruhe, and there is no such bug-level player as Li Huan who can break the balance. You can imagine how difficult it will be to fight.

The final decisive moment came, and the first victory in the second half was still unfavorable in the last fifteen minutes, and the home and away fans in the stands were excited, cheering for their teams loudly, and the atmosphere was as lively as boiling water.

On the pitch, the situation of the game also changed abruptly, Higan, who was originally in a defensive position, began to attack with the backhand of the two forwards, Karlsruhe did not retreat from the defense, they started to intercept from the midfield, and the opponent did not easily organize the attack, and Higan was also unceremonious, they went directly over the midfield, handed the ball to the strikers inside and outside the penalty area. Use four strikers to form the first blaster. A fierce battle ensued between the two sides on the edge of the penalty area in Karlsruhe.

Although Karlsruhe's defense is not the strongest in the Bundesliga, it is definitely not something that a team like Hiagan can easily break when they defend with all their might, not to mention that because of Karlsruhe's fierce interception at the front of the penalty area, their second wave of attack could not be completed smoothly and could not form a sustained blow to Karlsruhe, so although there are four strikers, the actual effect is not much stronger than the attack power when there are two strikers, but Karlsruhe's counterattack becomes more threatening because there is enough space.

The two sides fought fiercely for five minutes, the ball changed hands repeatedly in the steal, Higan did not find a chance to score, but Karlsruhe's counterattack quickly took effect, Li Huan went deep into the position of the central defender to grab the header, and cleared the ball in front of Adubo, who has always been a blue-collar worker in Karlsruhe, did an exception today, and he actually penetrated Higan's backline with a straight pass, allowing Capalani to directly form a chance for a single goal.

The fans at the scene applauded Adubo in amazement, but in all fairness, this is mainly because the Higan team has too much space for Ferres and Capalani in the backfield, and there is no problem with Adubo's pass difference of one or two meters.

Capalani naturally couldn't let go of this great opportunity to score, he used his speed to surpass Higan's central defender to face the goalkeeper Mark directly, Capalani did not choose a more beautiful past the goalkeeper to score the fancy, he was not a fancy player, Capala rubbed lightly, the ball flew over the head of the goalkeeper Mark, the distance was very close, the ball flew over his head before he jumped up and reached out to hit, but at this time the ball had flown into the goal of the Higan team.

At 3:1, Karlsruhe basically locked the game.

After the goal, Capalani jumped excitedly on top of another striker, Ferres, and the two hugged each other.

The away fans in the stands immediately cheered, this goal was scored beautifully, another hanging shot, plus the two clever shots in front, today's Mark lost three times to the opponent's hanging shot, he was beaten by the opponent's hanging shot without any temper.

The commentator was not as excited as the previous three goals, and after shouting a few goals, he began to analyze the trend of the following games for the fans. "It was a goal that sealed the win, it was beautiful, it calmed the anxious mood of the fans and players in Karlsruhe, look at the current situation, the score is going for a big score again, there are about ten minutes to go, obviously this can't be the last goal, let's see who the next player is to score. Hibangan's head coach Mai is now ready for the next game, and that's pretty much the way it went. ”

Karlsruhe, like most German teams, was ruthless and unrelenting about their opponents' feelings, continuing to test Hicgen's defence on the counter-attack, with another striker, Ferres, tasting the net in the closing stages of the game. It was only this goal that completely extinguished Higan's hopes of a comeback. They failed to score in three minutes of stoppage time and were beaten 4-1 at home to Rheinbral.

The game is over. The home fans left disappointed, they had a good start but didn't get the results they wanted, and for Higan's fans, whether the process was ugly or not, as long as they could get the life-saving three points, they didn't get what they wanted.

With only a few hundred Karlsruhe fans cheering and cheering along with the visiting players on the empty pitch, they got the game in control and scored four goals to get the second half off to a good start.

In the mixed channel, Li Huan, Martins and others were stopped by reporters. Li Huan saw Jia Lei among the reporters, Jia Lei smiled at him, picked up the microphone and waved at him. Li Huan smiled and nodded, Jia Lei originally called him to go back to Germany with him, but the experience of being surrounded by fans at Yanjing International Airport made Li Huan shudder now, he thought that it was Jia Lei's ghost, otherwise how could there be so many fans waiting at the airport so well.

Higan's reporter asked Li Huan: "Is it the first time in your life to score a goal directly from a corner kick?" Did you think about shooting straight at the time? ”

Li Huan said: "This is the first time in the official game, I had the experience of scoring a corner kick in training, I didn't expect to score directly at that time, because I didn't deliberately shoot, so far away from the goal, there are many players from myself and the opponent in the middle, they all want to intercept the ball, so it is unlikely that I will directly think about hitting the goal." ”

"How do you feel you are after the winter break and are you happy with today's game?"

"It's impossible for me not to be satisfied, my team-mates have just returned from holiday, it's a very happy time to be able to play like this, and for us Chinese, it's important to get off to a good start, which means that our next games will go more and more smoothly." ,

Then reporters from Karlsruhe also conducted an on-site interview with Li Huan.

"Before the winter break, there are a lot of Bundesliga interested in you, and they want to bring you in during the winter break, including Bayern Munich and Stuttgart, and after this league game, you will face Stuttgart, the strongest opponents of Baden, on their home turf, what do you think of this game?"

"I think we're going to be serious about preparing for their game, we've reached the quarter-finals of the German Cup, we're not going to give up now, the fight with Stuttgart is going to be a must, we're going to beat Stuttgart at Wilder Park." Li Huan saw the reporter's tentative intention and said very happily.

"You've scored 16 league goals, just one goal away from the 17 goals set by your compatriot Xie Hui in Aachen, did you think about it?"

Li Huan was slightly stunned and said: "I don't know this, it's just a record, it won't make me full of more motivation, I will try my best to score more goals, in order to help the team go further." ”

At this time, Jia Lei also pointed the microphone at Li Huan and said, "Are you happy to score directly from a corner kick?" ”

"Happy, as long as it's a goal, I'm happy."

"After coming back from vacation in China, you played in just a few days, have you returned to your best condition, I don't think you attacked too much today?"

Li Huan laughed: "I haven't reached my best form yet, but so are our opponents. So it's all fair, but the opponents behind us are getting stronger and stronger, and we have to adjust our form quickly. In the second half of the year, the first five rounds will determine the success and failure of the season, and we have to make ourselves perfect from the start. ”

"Do you mean the game against Bochum and Stuttgart?"

"In fact, Munich 11860 is also not to be ignored."

"Okay, thank you for accepting my interview, I won't delay your rest today, goodbye."

"Goodbye."
