Chapter 255: Opportunity After Changing Formations
Back in the dressing room, the atmosphere of the team was a little strange, not like the slightly desperate depression of the previous game against Dortmund, but it was also by no means a grin-and-a relaxation, an atmosphere mixed with self-doubt and discouragement permeated the dressing room.

Rangnick stood in the doorway for a moment, pinching the tactical board in his hand, adjusting his expression, and walking in with an indifferent smile on his face.
"In the second half, our chance came!" Rangnick's confident voice stunned the Hoffenheim players for a moment, but seeing his energetic appearance, everyone couldn't help but be cheered up.
Did the coach find a way?
"What? Don't believe me? Or do you think you're too vegetable? Don't believe you can kick the Bundesliga team out of the ass? Rangnick smiled and asked rhetorically, this is a trick.
But there were still many players who were stimulated, and Gustavo was the first to jump up and said angrily: "No, we are going to kick them hard!" ”
"Excellent! Be confident, our future is in the Bundesliga, there are many more teams like Wolfsburg, so from now on, lift your heads up and let me see your pride! Rangnick shouted.
"Yes!" Uniform shouting.
Rangnick walked to the whiteboard in the locker room, picked up a marker, tapped it, and said, "In the second half, we're going to change the lineup......"
……
Coming back in the second half, Rangnick made a direct substitution, Obasi went down, Tebel went on!
At this moment, Collett in the TV commentary box shouted incomprehensibly: "What does Rangnick mean by this adjustment?" Increasing the thickness of the midfield and letting Ibisevic play as a lone striker? ”
Everyone has the impression that Ibisevic's impact ability in the forward position is not as good as Obasi's, if it is a single striker, then Obasi should also be allowed to play!
"I think Rangnick saw the disadvantage of Hoffenheim in this game and decided not to fight hard!" Merkel told Collett, "So he replaced the main striker, increased the scramble in the midfield, and reduced the pressure at the back. ”
"That's no use!" Collett shook his head.
"At least they can concede a few fewer goals," Merkel laughed, "and if the score is not too different, the loss can be a little better." ”
But is that really the case?
The Hoffenheim players on the pitch did not start to defend passively as Collett and they suspected, but the midfield scramble became ferocious.
At the beginning of the second half, Magath also replaced Dzeko. The young Bosnian is a stump striker, who has been pressing near the Hoffenheim penalty area, eagerly waiting for the opportunity to score, but the ball just can't pass!
Dzeko frowned, a little worried about whether his teammates were planning to play in the midfield and not attack, he couldn't help but raise his hand: "Here, here!" ”
Hoffenheim, who played in a 5-4-1 formation, left Beta to keep an eye on Dzeko, and the midfield put in five or seven men to encircle them, and if it weren't for Josue's excellent ball control, they would have been cut off countless times!
But even so, Wolfsburg's attack was indeed contained, and in the first ten minutes, they only completed two attacks in the penalty area, but because of the small number of troops invested, they were destroyed by Beta and Compaq respectively.
But Hoffenheim's attack is coming!
In the 69th minute, Eduardo on the wing staged a long-distance run, passed three people in a row, and was finally tackled to the ground by Marcelinho!
Eduardo was fine, but Marcelinho made a dangerous move for a behind-the-back tackle, and the referee blew the whistle selflessly and pulled out a yellow card to light it at him.
Magath frowned slightly, he felt a little bad in the dark!
The fact that there was no home whistle on the goal was a surprise to the Hoffenheim players. Although it was a bit far away, the free kick given by the referee was definitely their chance!
Free kick!
The teams that played against Hoffenheim knew that they would rather give the ball to Hoffenheim than easily foul their own half. Give Hoffenheim a free kick and you have a good chance of conceding a goal!
Salihovic walked to the penalty spot and rubbed with the referee to sneak his way to a more forward penalty position, and Beta trotted over the halfway line.
"Keep an eye on Beta, and also prevent him from shooting directly!" Magath pointed at Salihovic and shouted from the sidelines with some uneasiness, as if they were behind!
His voice reached the field, and the Hoffenheim players also heard it, and Beta, who had just entered the Wolfsburg penalty area, heard it clearly, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Let's cooperate!" Beta's expression was serious, and he made a two-to-two gesture to Ibisevic, not speaking, but it was the code they had agreed upon.
Ibisevic was a little surprised, but he nodded earnestly. I saw him twist his head and start running in the forbidden area, where there are few people, he will run!
"It won't be him!" Simonek snorted, and Dzeko surrounded Beta, trying to stop Beta's run.
"I won't let you touch the ball easily!" Simunek also glared at Beta and squirted.
Beta frowned at him, as if she had suppressed him defensively a few times in the first half, right? Do you need to be so bitter and hateful?
Of course, he didn't know that Simunek was actually a little envious, jealous and hateful. He is a bit similar to Beta's technical characteristics, and they both play in the central defender position, why can Beta score so many goals?
Don't mention that, the whistle blows, the ball is thrown!
In order to make this attack successful, Beta activated Tobiang's advanced skill "Deployment Turret" before Salihovic took the ball!
Salihovic, who has gained 20 percent of his form, kicked a very high level with this free kick!
It looked like it was heading for the back of the goal, and Simonek couldn't help but run in the direction of where the ball landed.
But Beta was unmoved, he had a tacit understanding with Salihovic, and knew that Salihovic's goal was looking for him!
Sure enough, the soccer ball fell sharply in the air!
Elevator Ball!
Beta spotted the landing point of the football, rushed over in two steps, and jumped high!
Madelen was also shaken, and only Dzeko stared at Beta and hurriedly followed. But jumping in the air, Dzeko's eyes widened in surprise.
He jumped very high, but the two bodies collided in the air, and the beta of the yellow race actually gave him the feeling of encountering a typical African striker, the muscles were hard and full of power!
Dzeko's ability is not weak, but after all, he is still very young now, and he does not even have a lot of experience in judging the landing point when competing for a header, coupled with his slightly thin figure, he fell behind in the header scramble with Beta.
"Bang!" Beta topped the header, loud and powerful.
"Oh!" More than 30,000 fans in the stadium also let out an exclamation, they thought that Beta's header was about to go to the goal!
In fact, goalkeeper Benario thinks so too! (To be continued.) )
