Chapter 34 Control and Counter-Control (1)

Aachen's local media "Aachen News" also felt very helpless about the away challenge to Karlsruhe at this time, because at this time, Karlsruhe even the Bundesliga team did not dare to provoke easily, their limelight is too strong, even the full-backs can score a hat-trick team must be crazy, if you can wait for Karlsruhe's madness to pass and then go to their safari stadium is the most suitable, this team has always been emotional.

Head coach Heijin told reporters very worried after losing the game against Rostock, "We had a good start, but then the trend was very frustrating for the fans, like stocks, we are on a downward path, at least we can't lose this game again." ”

On Friday morning, the sun at Wilder Park was rejuvenating, Fox began to jog on the grass with his players, the goalkeeper coach Ken was training Miller's downed save on the sidelines, Becker watched from the sidelines, everything seemed so natural, calm and orderly, but Becker's heart was not as calm as the scenery on the training ground, and yesterday Karls found him, apologized to him, and hoped to be able to play at home against Aachen.

Kars went straight back to the dressing room after being substituted against Bochum, so that he was put on the bench as punishment in the last game, but he didn't expect Eichner, who replaced him, to perform consistently, and he couldn't see any difference after losing Karls. This made Becker very happy, but he was also a little worried about which player should be on the pitch for this game.

In the last group match, the players in Karlsruhe performed very hard, and everyone wanted to have a chance to play in front of the home fans tomorrow, because the head coach Becker prefers to use people in the state, Li Huan and Karls belong to the red and yellow sides, just opposite, and the relationship between the two is also a well-known thing, Li Huan will naturally not be polite to him in the confrontation, he and Federik's continuous breakthroughs almost beat Kars into a sieve, scored a goal himself, and assisted Federik twice to score.

Karls was extremely annoyed, he was worried that his performance was too poor and was abandoned by head coach Becker, and he was so angry that he stepped on Li Huan's ankle after Li Huan wore his crotch past him in the following training.

Seeing Li Huan fall to the ground and roll with his feet in his hands, the players in the audience were stunned, everyone knew Li Huan's current status and role in Karlsruhe, and Kars was simply helping Aachen do what they wanted to do the most.

The team doctor Schweiser ran over quickly and quickly checked for Li Huan, Federico pointed his finger directly at Kars's nose and asked him what he wanted to do, Becker and Hoss looked at Li Huan's ankle nervously, but the fullback who was at the peak of his condition was injured, but Li Huan's body was obviously stronger than everyone imagined, and Kars's kick did not cause much damage.

Becker breathed a sigh of relief this time, he called Kars over coldly, and said, "Kars, do you want to kill him!" ”

Kars bowed his head and remained silent.

Becker didn't look at Kars again to announce the end of today's confrontation, and then asked Schweiser to take Li Huan to check it out and not leave hidden dangers.

Although Becker did not criticize Karls so harshly, but the discerning people know that Kars's main position is only afraid of not being guaranteed, before Eichner did not rise, Becker could still tolerate Kars and Kovo's provocation of Li Huan and Martins, and now Eichner is fully able to provoke the beam, Becker naturally wants to take the opportunity to eliminate the discord in the team.

Back at home, Karlsruhe fans are no longer enthusiastic than before, and Karlsruhe's three-game winning streak has made loose tickets for Wilder Park hard to come by, and fans who bought the package are secretly congratulating themselves on their pre-season wisdom, otherwise they would have to spend a third more money to cheer for their beloved team at the stadium.

Before the start of the game, the reporter of the "City Daily" released the news that Li Huan was tackled by his teammates in yesterday's training, and he was not sure whether he would start tomorrow's game, this news made Karlsruhe fans startled, and many people were worried, the biggest highlight of Karlsruhe this season is this super defender and Federico in the midfield, the cooperation of the two is seamless, and any one of them will almost make the other person less powerful. However, at the pre-match press conference, Li Huan was in the starting list announced by head coach Becker, and the fans of Karlsruhe finally put their hearts down at the pre-game press conference, and the two coaches who have been fighting for a year still competed verbally, Aachen's head coach Heijin is the image of a good man, who likes practical actions rather than grand speeches, and at the pre-game press conference, he was even not as good as Becker, who is known as a gentleman, to speak hard, However, the coach was able to unite the whole team, and he had just taken over Aachen last year, and the team's lack of results was also related to his lack of familiarity with the team, which was far better in the second half of the season. The game that ended this season was also an away defeat to last season's Bundesliga side Rostock.

Aachen's head coach said: "The first thing I can tell the outside world is that we are not going to play attacking football in this game, but we will take advantage of the scoring opportunities when we have the right opportunities and Schraudruff and Plas Henrich will help us take those chances. Karlsruhe's full-backs are dangerous to attack, but we can't put all our attention on Li Huan, he is just a defender after all, Capalani and Federico are dangerous, Federico's goalscoring ability is no less than that of a striker, but it is not easy for them to break our goal, we are ready. ”

Karlsruhe first refuted the rumors, he said that the reports of some reporters before the game were untrue, there was no internal conflict in Karlsruhe, Karls kicked Li Huan was just a normal foul, Li Huan did not suffer any harm, and later they called each other to say goodnight. For Kars, he was not in the squad because there was something wrong with Kars's body.

Speaking about the game, the spirited Becker said: "Everybody knows we're in a good place and I can't deny that, the morale is high, it's a great honour for us to be able to beat any opponent and get into the top flight and I hope I'll lead the team to write that history." Aachen is a good opponent with the strongest attacking combination in the Bundesliga, Schlaudruff and Epos can always find the back of the net, but our backline is one of our prides this season and I believe that the backline led by Stoll and Li Huan can withstand the pressure of Schroudruff and Epos. ”

In the ensuing question-and-answer session, Chinese reporter Jia Lei asked Aachen's head coach Hei Jin if he knew if Aachen had played for two Chinese players. What does he think of the Chinese players?

Heijin replied that he had only come to Aachen last year and had not brought any Chinese players with him, but he had heard Xie Hui's name and knew that he was a very good striker. He expressed great admiration for Li Huan Heijin, because even in Germany there are few players who are so strong and fast, and he joked that if Li Huan was in Aachen, he would transform Li Huan into a striker.

At half past three o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, the fourth round of the Bundesliga Karlsruhe and Aachen began, Aachen is still the 442 formation of last season, they have not changed the style of play for Karlsruhe, they have always been this way of playing, most of their midfielders can attack and defend, when they meet strong teams, they focus on defense, and when they meet weak teams, they press forward, and Black Gold did not change the team's tradition after coming to Aachen, but added their tactical ideas to the original style of play.

Karlsruhe's starting line-up has hardly changed from the last big win over Munich 1860, the only change is that Karls didn't even make the bench, and now it is Egilman who is sitting on the bench.

Karlsruhe took advantage of the home advantage to launch a fierce attack on the opponent Aachen after the opening of the game, trying to take advantage of the opponent's unstable footing to score first, and the right side, which had an excellent performance in the first three games, still took on most of the attacking tasks. Li Huan and Federik frequently played skillful cooperation from the beginning to open the gap from the left side of Aachen, but obviously it is impossible for Heijin not to pay attention to the performance of Li Huan and Federico in the first three games, today he laid a heavy defense on his left side, and the left back Noor, who can play both defenders and midfielders, gave up attacking today, and the left midfielder Fayer also focused on defense, he focused on blocking Federico, and did not let Li Huan and Federico do two-by-one and hit the wall.

Heijin's tactical arrangement is very targeted, without midfielder Federico's response, the opponent stays in the backfield and does not give him space, Li Huan's attack and assault is a little less sharp than the original straight into the bottom line and the penalty area, because the opponent is not worried about his pass, he can use the advantage of numbers to block Li Huan on the side, break Li Huan's attack rhythm, and use Li Huan's assist to hit him behind.

Karlsruhe's right side launched a ten-minute offensive did not receive good results, Stoll and Federico distributed the ball to the left side of their side, hoping to open the situation from the other side, left-back Eichner after the battle with Munich 1860 increased confidence, this game forward more times than on the field, but Karlsruhe mainly played on the right side, he did not have many chances to get the ball. However, Eichner is not in a hurry and jealous, now Li Huan is the darling of Karlsruhe, it is normal to be taken care of by the whole team, and his relationship with Li Huan is also good, the conflict that occurred in training on Friday can be said to have indirectly helped him to sit in the position of the main force.
