Li Huan's corner kick did not pose any threat to Stuttgart's goal, the Stuttgart backline led by Mela has strong air defense capabilities, and there are air tyrants like Gomez, but Karlsruhe does not have many players with excellent headers, Capalani and Ferres are both technical forwards, and Dundee, the only air striker, is still sitting on the bench, in fact, even if Dundee plays, he may not be able to compete with Mela, Hitzelsberg and others, so Becker has no intention of competing with Stuttgart in the air todaySet-pieces, long-range shots and counter-attacks are the keys to victory in Karlsruhe today.

After Stuttgart won possession, the focus of the attack was on the left side of Karlsruhe, Schinkel and Meissner combined to attack, the back Sordo frequently assisted to the front, Schinkel has strong skills and impact, Meissner and Sordo are experienced, the three put great pressure on Karlsruhe's left side, Schinkel was robbed of the first point by Gomez on two consecutive crosses, although no goal was formed under the interference of Karlsruhe defenders, However, the psychological pressure on Karlsruhe's defenders and goalkeepers was very high, and in the end even the striker Ferres came back to help, but he still could not stop Stuttgart's attack, and the gap between the two teams was all-round, not just in individual ability.

After only ten minutes of the opening game, Becker couldn't sit still, he paced back and forth on the sidelines, pondering what to do. Karlsruhe's defenders can't defend against Gomez's header, and it's useless to make substitutions, this is already Karlsruhe's best defender, they can only strangle Stuttgart's cross from the side, don't give Gomez too many opportunities to head the ball, let him put on such an unscrupulous performance, Karlsruhe's goal will be broken sooner or later. Becker saw that Li Huan was very idle on the right side, after two trials, Li Huan posed a huge threat to Stuttgart's goal, Stuttgart's players did not dare to easily distribute the ball to the right side, Becker frowned, and suddenly let go, shouting at Martins, let him also go to the left side to support, leaving Li Huan alone in the right midfield. In the eyes of outsiders, this is an adventure, in fact, Becker himself thinks it is an adventure, but he has no choice, Karlsruhe's left side is too tight, burning eyebrows and looking at the front of him, he only believes for the time being that Li Huan alone can deal with the joint attack of the two big players of Grunschal and Hitzelsberg.

After Martins also came to the left, Karlsruhe's left side was overcrowded, and even Stuttgart's individual skills could not form an effective attack, but the Stuttgart players saw that Karlsruhe's right side was empty, and immediately passed the ball to the right to attack. Glen Schal was blocked by Li Huan twice, and he didn't dare to break through Li Huan with the ball alone, but cooperated with Hitzelsberg. Li Huan has a lot of experience in defense, neither following the players with the ball nor the players in the running position, retreating directly, guarding the dangerous area at the front of his penalty area and defending with the back Adubo and the right-back Barbera. Li Huan retreated quickly, and did not give the opponent a chance to play at all, and after Magnin and Hitzelsberg pressed up, he still faced Karlsruhe's tight defensive line.

Stuttgart was on the attack for most of the first 30 minutes, and it looked like Karlsruhe didn't have the power to fight back, but the Karlsruhe fans didn't fall into despair

Karlsruhe also retains the ability to counter-attack, and on the right flank, Li Huan and Capalani have plenty of space, but they lack a good pass. Fans believe that once Li Huan gets the ball on the right side, what awaits Stuttgart will inevitably be a chaotic situation, and may even bring goals to Karlsruhe.

Trapattoni, who has been squatting on the ground and commanding with a whistle, also knows this, so Grunschal and Hitzelsberg have been holding their troops on their left side, that is, to prevent Li Huan and Capalani's counterattack, his current tactic is to sacrifice his left side, gather the strongest force to attack the left side of Karlsruhe, and finally form a breakthrough, but he didn't expect Becker to be so ruthless, and actually transferred all the troops except Li Huan from the right to the left to defend it.

The real battle started after 30 minutes, in the previous time, Stuttgart left and right constantly changed the route of attack, and occasionally used Hitzelsberg and Magnin to attack in the middle, although Karlsruhe counterattacked not much, but as soon as Li Huan got the ball on the right side, Karlsruhe's attacking players would all press, forming a momentum of several arrows, which would also make Stuttgart scramble. However, because both sides played more cautiously and did not give their opponents a better chance, the score was still 0-0.

Thirty minutes later, both sides figured out the details of each other, the rise of the kill, the back line was not as cautious as the front when attacking, then Stuttgart got a good chance, after a continuous left-center-right pass, nicknamed Sledgehammer Hitzelsberg found a channel in the penalty area to shoot with his foot, his shot was powerful and heavy, goalkeeper Miller fortunately knew that he shot from a long distance and was very concentrated, and blocked the ball with both fists, but in a hurry, Miller's ball did not hit far, Tomasson met the ball with another volley, the ball hit the defender and bounced again, and Hitzelsberg, who was 1.90m on the penalty line, rushed over and headed the ball in the opposite direction of the goalkeeper's position. Seeing that there was nothing Miller could do about the ball, Eichner pushed the ball out again with his head on the goal line.

In the blink of an eye, three dangerous shots almost scared the Karlsruhe fans out of the way, and it wasn't until Eichner cleared the ball off the goal line that all the fans let out a long breath and applause rang out again, this time not for any one player, but for the entire Karlsruhe backline.

Just when the applause of the fans in Karlsruhe did not fall and the fans in Stuttgart were full of regret, a tall figure suddenly appeared in the crowd of defenders, who jumped high and stopped the ball in front of him with his chest, without even looking ahead, and seemed to raise his foot aimlessly to kick the ball forward.

Just when all the players in Stuttgart did not react, Capalani suddenly rushed out from behind Mela and Kivkovic like a leopard, and then people found that Li Huan's aimless pass happened to the left between Stuttgart's defender and the goalkeeper, so that the defender turned and couldn't catch up, but the goalkeeper didn't dare to attack. It's like measuring with a ruler, and it falls into the most uncomfortable position for the opponent.

Capalani unloaded the ball with his chest like Li Huan, and hit the penalty area with his knee forward, and the German international Hildebrand reacted quickly, and he didn't dare to be careless in the face of this nobody, and when Capalani knelted the ball, he quickly attacked to block Capalani's shooting angle. Capalani pushed the ball forward with his knee to save time, and when he saw that he might not be able to get the ball in front of Hildebrand, he took an unconventional sliding tackle shot, which Hildebrand couldn't get to the ground and the ball flew past his feet and into the goal.

Crawling on the grass by the post, his mouth ridiculously open, staring straight at the ball, it wasn't until it rolled in the net that he got up and ran frantically to the stands, excited to score a goal against his rivals.

Time seemed to stand still, and the Karlsruhe fans were speechless in disbelief, and for a moment the stadium was so quiet that you could hear each other's heartbeats. And then suddenly the pitch was like a handful of salt sprinkled in a pan. Cheers, whistles, shouts, cheers, countless voices mingled. Water bottles, handkerchiefs, snacks, newspapers, and other things that people can throw into the air are all thrown into the air, but even these still can't vent the joy in the hearts of fans. I don't know which side of the stand started first, the fans rhythmically shouted the name of their hero, and soon, all the voices of the entire stadium gathered together, shouting his name one after another. Capalani! Li Huan! Capalani! Li Huan! These two men were the heroes of the goal, one created the chance and the other turned him into reality.

Becker stood on the edge of the field, he witnessed the seamless performance between Li Huan and Capalani, although he would not shout the player's name as excitedly as the fans, but he also jumped up, this ball was so beautiful, but also too difficult, he held hard for more than 30 minutes, suffered for more than 30 minutes, finally won the goal, now he has to enjoy the Italian anxious look.

Trapattoni, who had been crouching on the ground, was blindfolded with his palm at the moment of the goal, and he couldn't accept the fact that he was scored first by a Bundesliga team, and for the Italian coach, there was only one thing that he hated and feared the most, and that was to be scored first by the opponent, because what they liked most was to defend and counterattack. Being scored by the opponent means that they have to attack, attacking means that the defense is unstable, and it goes without saying what it means to be unstable at the back, and the Martians know it.

Commentator Gerasim sighed: "One pass and one shot, less than three seconds, a goal was generated, and even the camera lens did not keep up with Li Huan's genius pass, I think the best thing is not the imagination of this pass, but the control of footwork, how can he pass so accurately, maybe the place between the goalkeeper and the defender in Stuttgart is the blind spot of their vision and imagination, and Li Huan's pass happened to hit there." Capalani's running and shooting are also absolutely first-class, and it is impossible to see that he and Li Huan have just played together for more than half a year, as if the two have been playing together since childhood. It was a perfect goal, a perfect assist, a decisive shot, and now the problem is in the hands of the opposition, so let's see how Italy's gold medal coach can cope with the situation after that. ”
