Chapter 162: Adjustments at the time of Klop
Salihovic ended the first half with a brilliant free-kick. Pen ~ fun ~ www.biquge.info However, although Hoffenheim temporarily led the home team Mainz 2:0, this score was only the beginning.
'I'm bullish on Jurgen Klopp and he should make a change in the second half. Mueller said.
He is a bit similar to Klopp in that he chose to go professional after retiring.
However, Klopp's playing career is not as brilliant as his, and his coaching career is not as brilliant as Klopp.
Sure enough, the second half had just begun, and the two sides began to make substitutions!
Jurgen Klopp made a two-handed substitution, with Francis Lauren replacing Borja in front of him, while midfielder Peter Luhmann misplaced wing-back Demmitas.
Demmitas was an assist-oriented full-back, but his first half was almost completely conceded by Salihovic, so Klopp intended to drop Foyle and Luman step up front.
However, Rangnick, who had a big lead in the first half, also made a substitution, replacing Eduardo with Weiss after Klopp.
"Hey, I actually replaced Eduardo!" Lampe was a bit surprised that the Brazilian played a good role in the first half, with his low cross from the wing being very dangerous and even providing an assist to Beta.
Muller speculated: "Should Eduardo be tackled in the first half, or should he have suffered a little injury. ”
He guessed correctly, and at half-time, Eduardo said that he had some discomfort in his ankle, and after examination by the team doctor, it was indeed a slight sprain.
Although the sprain was not serious, Rangnick replaced Eduardo in order to protect the young players.
However, after replacing Eduardo, Hoffenheim's offensive firepower was much weaker!
Weiss has a bit of a passing ability, but he's nowhere near as dangerous as Edward.
One-on-one, Weiss chooses to pass the ball more than relying on strong ball control to get away from opponents like Eduardo.
In the 58th minute, less than ten minutes after Weiss was substituted, Klopp was keenly aware that Hoffenheim's attack was not as sharp as in the first half. He walked to the sidelines, waved his hand, and directed Mainz to step up the attack.
In the 65th minute, Mainz's chance finally came, and the newly substituted Luman made a contribution, and his unexpected pass directly penetrated the Hoffenheim defence, and Emiri did not waste another chance this time.
He calmly pushed the ball into the net guarded by Daniel, who was dangled to the other side.
Mainz chased 1:2, and the home fans seemed to see an opportunity, and they shouted one after another.
"Catch up with me!"
"Teach these hillbillies a hard lesson!"
"Victory, victory!"
The same was true of the excited Mainz players, and Emily, who did not celebrate, fished the ball out of Hoffenheim's goal and brought it to the halfway line, asking the Hoffenheim players to kick off quickly.
Not only do they want to continue chasing points, but they also want to snatch the victory back!
Rangnick's face was a little solemn, he already felt that the crisis in the first half and the current goal conceded was not accidental, but Klopp found Hoffenheim's weakness!
"Beta!" Rangnick called Beta over and told him solemnly, "I want you to retreat, to the back, to the back of the net, in front of the goal and Daniel, can you do that?" ”
Retreat?
Beta quickly understood that Rangnick was asking him to play the defensive scavenger position he had played before.
Beta immediately nodded solemnly.
This is a big task, Mainz has grasped Hoffenheim's weakness, and will definitely use it repeatedly, Beta, as a defensive spearhead, must stand up!
As a result, Hoffenheim changed the formation, Beta dragged back, and temporarily did not step forward to participate in the attack, and there were four people on the back line.
The midfield combination of Salihovic, Weiss and Copado is under more pressure, and they need to retreat in time and step forward to organize the attack.
Rangnick's timely adjustments worked.
In the 76th minute, Mainz played again and Foylner's pass passed between Yankel's legs, where striker Lauren, who had been substituted in the second half!
"Hoffenheim is in danger!" Lampe exclaimed.
"No, and Beta!" Muller reacted faster, and he saw that Beta was already blocked in front of Lauren!
As soon as Lauren raised her head, a tangled look appeared on her face.
The timing and position of Beta was too good, it was right between him and the goal, and more importantly, he found that Beta was blocking the angle of his shot.
Of course, Beta wasn't fat enough to block all the shot angles, but he found out where Beta wasn't blocking and Daniel was on his feet.
In other words, even if his shot is not blocked by Beta's body, it will be saved by Daniel!
Unless he's very rebellious and can kick into a corner where Daniel can't pounce.
If he has such skills, then he is not a substitute for the Bundesliga team!
Unable to do so, Lauren had to dribble the ball and try to get past Beta.
This is even simpler, Beta directly relied on his physical strength, stuck Lauren, the ball passed, but no one was over, and then he stretched out his foot and clicked the football, and the football was controlled at his feet.
This time, Beta didn't hold it up, didn't give the opponent a chance to force the opponent with the sticky ball, and kicked the ball directly to Jaisler at close range.
This time, the crisis in Hoffenheim was alleviated.
In the 82nd minute, Mainz made a comeback, but their attack still couldn't be played. Just as he was close to kicking the door, Emily just couldn't hit it for a long time.
"You can't stick the ball too much in the opponent's box! Pass to the left and give Lauren maybe there's still a chance! Lampe shook his head when he saw Hoffenheim's reinforcements arrive and cut off Emily's ball with Beta.
"Actually, I think Beta defended well, he couldn't find a chance to play!" After all, Muller was once a top player, and he looked at it more carefully, "Emily hesitated, and there was no room for it. ”
Jurgen Klopp watched with a frown from the sidelines, he saw it clearly, Beta retreated, and with his strong defensive ability, he contained the play of his own striker.
"At least these defenses, at the level of the Bundesliga!" Klopp couldn't help but secretly admire.
But now, they're rivals! Klopp saw the idea of Hoffenheim's forbidden area and quickly came up with a way to crack it.
"Compress their defence with crosses as much as possible, and then score from outside the box with a long-range shot!" Jurgen Klopp made another substitution, replacing Fojner with Karl Khan with some long-range shooting ability, and asked his players to switch their attacking strategy.
It has to be said that Klopp's adjustment has been very effective, and Hoffenheim's ability to defend long-range shots is a bit problematic, after all, they do not have a first-class goalkeeper.
In just six minutes, the Mainz players took turns to shoot at Hoffenheim's goal!
Luckily, there was also a problem with the quality of the shot, with only one shot in the woodwork that was blocked by Daniel, who was in the right position.
However, as he was about to enter stoppage time, Karhan hit Beta with a shot that bounced off the bottom line.
Mainz gets a corner!
