Chapter 49: The Fulcrum
What twists and turns will there be in such a seemingly disparity between strength and weakness? Or will there be an upset?
Neutrals like to think so, commentators welcome the possibility, and supporters of underdogs especially want this to happen. Kaiserslautern and its supporters, certainly do not want to.
If you don't think about it, the likelihood of problems will increase.
If you accidentally meet a pit digger when you are complacent, the possibility of rapid improvement is about to come out.
Friedel was not a careless person, nor was he good at taking risks. Ever since the team fell from the altar, he had become more and more cautious. The two points Koch missed are still haunted by his mistakes.
But the clay people have three points of fire, who doesn't want to have the aura of Long Aotian?
He has been suppressing the anger in his heart, but before this game, he was moved by his own genius!
Just one person is changed, and the vitality of the whole team is different! In this game that needs to exert offensive firepower, not only is the offense guaranteed in the second half, but even in the first half, it is very likely that the opponent will not be able to find the north!
This state of affairs is not his untested YY. In the two training sessions before the game, the forward partnership of Yumo and Kuka was full of energy, and the constant sparks could simply mess up the defense of the substitutes!
The combination of the genius before yesterday + the genius after tomorrow, just two training sessions, made everyone impressed!
Therefore, as the initiator of this genius combination, Friedel's pride in his heart can be imagined.
Now, it's time to accept the results.
"When Kuka first debuted four years ago, he was also known as the 'Star of Geniuses', and then he didn't seem to have grown much. However, today's opening more than ten minutes table xiàn is quite eye-catching! "National Radio 2 is also an old veteran. The commentary style is more orthodox, more rational analysis, and lacks excitement * emotional roaring.
"Well, Friedel has worked this lineup. Partnered with two strikers with an average age of less than 20, this dynamic combination is a nightmare for tall defenders. Looking at this crossover running cooperation, the two are both flexible and tacit. The originally complete defense line was pulled out of a gap by them, but it was a pity that Mo's last shot was too positive, wasting a wonderful pass from Wagner! Gerd Müller doesn't usually talk much, but today he was noticeably more excited than his partner, as if he had found his younger self.
"Aachen was a bit passive, and after the first ten minutes, they didn't have a shot on goal, and there were very few times when they pressed the opponent's half. Fox is still firmly seated in the Diaoyutai and is not ready to adjust his tactical arrangements? Smitl felt the obvious anticipation. So he decisively sang the opposite.
This technique is common in two-player commentary, and it doesn't mean that they are rooting for a team. The reason is also very simple, in each period of the game, there will be advantages and weaknesses, blindly praise or blindly black, it is easy to leave a bad impression on the audience. The two of them sometimes sing and harmonize, and sometimes fight in the ring, can straighten out the obviously one-sided game a lot. It does not give people obvious tendencies.
"Probably not, I'll play. This guy is active on the field as a player and coach, and it is impossible to watch two boys go wild on their own turf. Gerd Müller looked at the familiar face, and there was some emotion in his voice.
I'm 51 myself, this guy should have 61.
"Well, get up. walked to the sidelines and shouted a few words loudly. Will there be a noticeable change? ”
――――
How could Yumo spark with the bad boy he once was?
Others may not understand it very well, but the proud Kuka clearly understands it in his heart.
Understand!
Kuka is a product of typical German-style professional soccer training, but as an American descent, his personality is at odds with rigid tactical discipline. In front of the rookie wall, which is the most critical to growth, this confrontation stopped him. So far he has not been able to surpass.
This almost became a piece of his heart!
It wasn't until he met these two boys that he understood. The so-called confrontation is just that he is competing with himself, but he is afraid that his personality will also be changed and he will become a member of those old antiques!
So, who didn't have the courage to stick to his own style and didn't want to be assimilated and changed, he wandered in front of the rookie wall for four years, his confidence and courage were about to be smoothed, and he still didn't try to kick it!
But now it's different!
Since partnering with this guy, that free breath has finally returned. Both of them have free-spirited personalities, and there is not much difference in age between them, and even the situation when they first came to this team is not much different. This natural near-ink black is simply a good playmate tailored for him!
Stand-up center?
Uncle's!
Kuka didn't come as he wanted, which was a bit of a surprise, but it didn't make Friedel angry.
Look at the effect!
The game is about winning, and all the means are just to serve that goal, and if they can get good results in this way, then it is worth encouraging!
Fifteen minutes passed, the two had 6 shots on goal and 4 shots on target, if it weren't for the opponent's goalkeeper to play bravely, the score would have been rewritten. And not only have there are many opportunities, but the opponent has suppressed the attack very much because of the excessive defensive pressure, and except for a single striker, everyone else has no chance to pass the half.
Lineke was already holding his arms coldly!
Friedel, who was always nervous when watching the game, finally sat down on the Diaoyutai in a rare place and hummed a little song in his heart.
Hurry up, reassurance!
――――
The reassuring pill is wrapped in arsenic, do you want to eat it?
Twenty minutes into the game, Friedel realized that trouble was coming!
Between 15 and 20 minutes, the Aachen team gradually recovered and were able to organize backcourt passes and ground advancements.
This is not surprising. No matter how strong a team is, it is impossible to crush the opponent in half the court when playing against a team of the same level. As soon as the first three axes pass, the other party is bound to have some signs of raising his head.
If it's just a rebound after being heavily pressed, then just recycle the defense for a while and then re-energize the attack. 20 minutes can pass. Friedel found that it wasn't as smooth and easy as it was at the beginning!
The reason is actually quite simple.
A team that lacks a metronome, the ball can't move quickly and smoothly in the midfield!
With two midfielders who can get the ball, Latchinho has a heavier defensive task and although his attacking ability is good, he is more than cautious in the lower position. Not enough adventure. Moreover, the other party also saw this, as long as he got the ball, there will be a high position to grab it immediately, if he chooses to pass back or divide the side, he will immediately recycle it, in case he wants to take the ball forward, the ambush that has been prepared will immediately rush up and catch him off guard.
Another guy who can hold the ball. It is Wagner, whose main position is in jeopardy. His treatment is much more grand than that of Rachinho, as long as there is a ball at his feet, there will be a number of defenders who will immediately stick it up from all angles, and if he can't deal with it quickly, he will only be broken!
His confidence and footwork, like this team, have been tossed by successive setbacks and have been overly up-and-down, coupled with an introverted and silent personality. The effect is obvious: if the game doesn't go well, he will be affected immediately!
The midfielder couldn't hold the ball. The defenders who could only pass back to the fallen foot began to get anxious!
Schjung Berg is a guy who loves assists, and he is very active on the right side at this time, up and down, up and down, but unfortunately, the ball always comes and goes. Or don't come when you should come, and hit your heels when you shouldn't.
The egg hurts so badly!
If the ground offensive is damp, then it will only go into the air.
After Friedel roared twice, he realized: "Bad food!"
There is no fulcrum in the front court!
Kuka was supposed to be in charge of this task, but the kicking unrestrained guy didn't remember that. At this time, he is running all over the field and becoming a free man!
It doesn't hurt if this is really possessed by Emperor Pei, and running all over the field can still have a miraculous effect, but how can he have that ability!
Seeing Kuka flying farther and farther in the free sky, You Mo looked at his 182cm height and 70kg small body, and looked at the ball flying in the air with tears in his eyes, speechless for a long time.
In fact, when he partnered with Da Yu, he was always the fulcrum of the frontcourt, relying on his strong jumping ability to fight a piece of the sky.
But it was a junior team game, and the team's offensive method was not dominated by high-altitude bombing, and the opponent's weight was only about 60kg!
The height difference between these strong men in front of them is not big, but the weight is at least 80kg!
What is the use of body weight?
It's true that the speed is limited and the turn is slowed down, but as long as there is a confrontation, you are not negotiable about the proper knockover!
The revenge that opened the corner of the eye last time has not been avenged, if you take the initiative to send it to the door this time, it will be strange if the other party does not laugh!
Moreover, the role of the fulcrum is completely different from the role of grabbing the point. The fulcrum is to play a turnover role in the offense, so although the position is in the front court, it is not close to the goal many times, and the ball that comes over is mostly a half-goal, and the probability of being knocked over or injured by mistake will be greatly increased!
What's more, he is willing to be the fulcrum, and Friedel is still reluctant!
If you can't shout back to Kuka, You Mo can only be a lonely ghost again, wandering around the same in the front court.
The two strikers lack support, and if you want to improve, in addition to substitutions, you can only shout at the midfield to boldly take the ball to the ground, even if you take a risk, you have to send the ball to the front court and hand it to their feet!
This choice is the arsenic in the reassuring pill, if you are lucky, you can't bite it, and if you are unlucky, you will be unlucky!
――――
"Kaiserslautern, this time was suppressed by the Aachen team, what a gentleman is not afraid of the dark!" Smittle, who has a little knowledge of Oriental culture, is suspected of being a showman.
"It's dark, but the stadium is lit! Kaiserslautern's midfielder lacks a guy who can command and dispatch. The two little guys in the front court will play a little out of touch with the whole team, unable to take the high ball, unable to catch the ground ball, this situation may be unexpected by Friedel! Gerd Müller frowned, eyes glued to the screen.
"The Aachen team, which is weaker than them, is not conservative away from home, which many people did not expect! Kaiserslautern may also be distracted, and their starting line-up is now about to be put to the test! Smitl was a little proud of his choice, and the idea of being unpopular went straight up.
"It's only been 28 minutes into the game, and it's impossible to make substitutions, so you have to make other tactical adjustments, so how will Friedel solve this problem?" Gerd Muller did not give up and still stood up.
"He probably wouldn't want to wait until the second half to change it, it's too passive! The Aachen team is now playing more and more energetically, and look at this shot, the difference is by a fraction! ”
"Well, we have to adjust right away, and the players are not only unable to find a way to deal with it now, but they are also a little anxious! Moreover, the mentality of the players on the field is not uniform. If this situation continues, it will be more dangerous! ”
"It's been 35 minutes and there is still no noticeable improvement, Kaiserslautern is getting more and more anxious and the unsolicited errors are starting to increase"
"The first half is almost over, Friedel's response is a bit disappointing, and I am afraid that I can't explain it when I play like this at home with Aachen!"
Sure enough, they were punished! In the 41st minute of the first half, the Aachen team had a perfect cooperation in the front, and finally No. 9 Seschi made a strong volley to break through Lineker's ten fingers! The score is 1:0" (to be continued......)
