Chapter 54: We Will Live (1)

Goalkeeper: Hayne

Defenders: Koznitz, Westermann, Boggs, Schuler

Midfielders: Kobilik, Max, Cob, Bowmer

Forward: Akhon Fov

Forward: Kurt Zouma

This is Bielefeld's usual formation of 4-4-1-1, which is not much different from 442, but it can be seen that Hesse attaches great importance to defense in the team's style of play, although it cannot be judged from the number of forwards whether a team is an offensive team or a defensive team, but a team with only one striker will certainly not be an offensive team. For young and inexperienced coaches, playing offensive football is much more troublesome and complicated than playing defensive counterattacks, and it is not easy to produce results, they are not reassuring, so they must make results early, otherwise when your offensive football is almost run-in, you should also get out of class, which has little to do with a coach's coaching style and tactical thinking, and is a requirement of the coaching environment. Hesse is no exception, and he has taken over the team defensively, even if he sacrifices the attack, he must ensure the safety of the backline.

Goalkeeper: Miller

Defenders: Eichner, Stoll, Boden, Li Huan.

Midfielders: Aduber, Mane, Masdinis, Martins

Forwards: Ferres, Capalani.

Today Becker unexpectedly lined up Masdinis in the starting lineup, which made the on-site commentator Mutter a little strange, he questioned: "Coach Becker's lineup today is a bit risky, originally after the loss of Capalani, there are certain variables in Karlsruhe's midfield, no one knows how Martins played, and now he has sent Madinis, who is even more defenseless, on the field, if he can score early, then he will naturally be happy, if he can't score, Maybe it will be scored by Bielefeld, which is a solid defense in the Bundesliga, and it will be very difficult to play if they score. Regardless of the outcome, Coach Becker's line-up is a bit risky. Maybe Coach Becker doesn't want to get too entangled with Bielefeld and wants to play a blitzkrieg, but it's still hard to say what is going on, so let's wait and see. ”

Hesse on the sidelines was also shocked when he saw Mastinis playing, but he was very confident in his defense, not afraid of Karlsruhe sending the strongest attack formation, after a shock, there was a trace of joy in his heart, Mastinis's defense He saw it very clearly through the game video, it was a scumbag word, although the young black Martins knew before the game that he was going to start, but he didn't know much about this player, and there was too little information about him, However, if he really had Federico's strength, he wouldn't have been sitting on the bench all the time. The youngsters are inconsistent, and as long as Akhanfov and Kurt Zouma can score first, he can slowly play with Becker. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Hesse's mouth.

The referee of this game is Kampter, he is a bank clerk, only 22 years old this year, the same year as Li Huan, he is the youngest second division referee in Germany, "smart, not affected by the outside world, motivated, can withstand the test, brave ......" This is the official comment of the German Football Association on Kampte, many people believe that he will become the successor of Merck, the most famous referee in Germany. And Merck also said: "There can be no doubt about the referee's enforcement, and Kampt already has that quality. It is said that Kampt is likely to be in charge of the Bundesliga next year, so that he will surpass Merck as the youngest Bundesliga referee. Before the game, the media once joked: The brightest stars of this game are the referee and Li Huan.

Before the game started, the fans in Karlsruhe began to cheer excitedly, Federico was gone, and their biggest hope at the moment was Li Huan, Li Huan was a more reliable offensive weapon than strikers Capalani and Ferres for the fans, "Li Huan!" Li Huan! ......" has been heard from the very beginning, and the current Karlsruhe fans can already shout Li Huan's somewhat awkward and complicated pronunciation clearly.

There are not too many Bielefeld fans who come to cheer away, and Bielefeld fans do not put all their enthusiasm into such a German Cup match with Karlsruhe, they have consumed too much energy in the exciting relegation battle every year, and they do not take such a cup match that has nothing to do with life and death as the fans of Karlsruhe do not take it as seriously. Seeing the Karlsruhe fans chanting the strange name of the defender at the beginning, the Bielefeld fans couldn't help but say with disdain, 'Buns, who have never seen the world, and who holds a defender like a world-class star'. They are now desperate for their team to keep a clean sheet against the defender and show him how different there is between the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga.

With a whistle from the young, handsome and still single referee Kempt, the third round of the German Cup began.

The first kick-off was the away team Bielefeld. After South African veteran Kurt Zouma and Khampfof passed the ball back, Zouma quickly stepped forward, but Khampfoff stayed in the centre circle to meet his team-mates. Although he said before the game that he would break through the door of Karlsruhe, he was still cautious in the game to observe the opponent's style of play first.

Ferres and Capparani resolutely inserted into Bielefeld's 30-metre area, and Becker's order before the game was to put pressure on Bielefeld's backline as much as possible, so that they could not control the ball at the back and pass the ball badly, and then create opportunities for Madinis and Li Huan, who was inserted in the back. In this game, Becker's tactical requirements are very clear, that is, to attack resolutely, break through the opponent's defense line first, and not to entangle and stalemate with Bielefeld, which is not the characteristic of Karlsruhe, fierce and strong is the characteristic of Karlsruhe, who has seen the lion and mouse play hide and seek. Sending Masdinis is to win a free kick through his breakthrough in front of the court, so that Li Huan's little Li Feidao can be powerful. In addition, after flattening the opponent's formation, he can also give full play to the characteristics of Li Huan's long-range shot, and now the whole of Germany knows Li Huan's nickname for Xiao Li Feidao's unmistakable hair, but they don't know that Li Huan just became famous for his shocking hanging shot 70 meters away.

Bielefeld's players didn't expect a Bundesliga team to be so confident and play so openly, and they actually pressed them to play at the beginning, and they didn't take them as a Bundesliga team in their eyes at all, which can also see how rampant Karlsruhe is in the Bundesliga. Bielefeld also took care of the face of the Bundesliga team at the beginning, and wanted to resist, change positions, and be pressed under the giants in the Bundesliga as a whole, should they also be pressed down against the Bundesliga team?

But minutes later, the Bielefeld players were resigned to their fate. Under the pressure of Karlsruhe strikers Capalani and Ferres on the opponent's backline, Madinis got space to dribble the ball, his skills are really good, Bielefeld's defenders are afraid of Li Huan's free kick power, dare not easily foul, and was actually driven into the penalty area by Mastinis in three sets and two belts, fortunately the central defender Westermann shoveled the ball out of the bottom line in time. But then Mane's corner kick went directly to the left side of the Bielefeld penalty area, and at this moment Li Huan inserted it from behind to the side of the opponent's penalty area, and he shot directly with the outside instep at a small angle on the left side, grazing the crossbar and flying out of the bottom line. These two attacks scared goalkeeper Hain into a cold sweat. Bielefeld's players saw that the attack was too dangerous, so they played the counter-attack that they are best at.

Seeing that his team made two threats after the opening, the Karlsruhe fans in the stands were even more excited, with thunderous applause, and many fans chanted Madinis's name, and then the whole stadium was cheering for Madinis and Li Huan's names in turn.

Madinis followed Becker's instructions, resolutely broke through in the frontcourt, he wore the crotch past Max, and the bicycle shook off Kobilik, at this time he could pass the ball, Ferres pulled to the side and pulled out the gap, but Madinis was a man

Crazy, he was already very excited to be able to start today, seeing the fans put him and Li Huan in the same position, enjoying the chanting of the audience, his adrenaline hormones increased suddenly, and he began to work hard to show off his personal skills

Getting up, he didn't pass the ball and continued to break forward, as if he wanted to play a game of Maradona's practice five. But Bielefeld's defence was not in vain, as after the two midfielders were shaken apart, centre-back Westermann and midfielder Kof stepped forward to close the ball and cut the ball off the feet of Madisinis.

Seeing that Masdinis was so alone, Ferres roared angrily and scolded: "Idiot! Becker on the sidelines was also angry, but helpless, this is the characteristic of Mastinis, he is like this, he is a double-edged sword, he can break in and mess up the opponent's defence, but he can't make the most of his individual breakthrough, and now Becker can only count on him to get a good free kick.

After Westermann cut the ball, Masdinis was also squeezed to the ground by the closing action, and the referee Kampter ignored him, which was an effective defense, but Madinis did not immediately get up and counter-attack, but lay there to get sympathy from the referee.

Westermann has a long pass technique, he raised his foot to find Uhan Fof, Ashram saw the ball menacing, worried that it was not easy to control, so he ferried to Zuma, Zuma's chest stopped, and after taking the ball, he led it, and killed Li Huan's defense area. Li Huan waved his hand to signal the players in Stoll and Aduber's defense, and he himself came to deal with Zuma.

Kurt Zouma is a South African player, he has good technique, he is not slow, he does a shake of the upper body, a quick low cross, he is 29 years old, and his technique is much more concise than Masdinis. Li Huan didn't shake, he kept staring at Zuma's feet, he also started when Zuma started, and Li Huan had already blocked when Zuma passed.

The ball was directly stuffed on Zuma's body, and after rebounding back, it hit Li Huan's thigh, then I could see how fast Li Huan's reaction was, Li Huan's thigh muscles instantly relaxed, unloaded the ball, and did not touch the ball out of the bottom line, Zuma was stunned, and immediately raised his foot to grab it, Li Huan seemed to expect the opponent's grab when he unloaded the ball, he took advantage of the situation, the ball passed through Zuma's crotch, Li Huan pulled Zuma with his hand, accelerated forward, and pulled the South African striker behind him, Then he accelerated to the front.

Li Huan's unloading is accelerating, like a cloud of peers, and in a blink of an eye, the South African was left behind, this is a rare time for Li Huan to play since the professional game, he has been winning the current status and reputation with his furious long-range shots, lightning speed and precision-guided free kicks, these actions made the fans on both sides of the home and away sides a little dumbfounded, Bielefeld's players and coaches were also a little flustered, no one thought that such a strong person would have such a fine work, By no means worse than Mastinis, who had just broken through in front.

In the thunderous applause of the fans, Li Huan ran along the right side with the ball, this is his corridor, the Bielefeld midfielder who had already run to the midfield of Karlsruhe hurriedly returned to the defense, Bowmer in the right midfield, immediately moved to the side near and intercepted Li Huan's dribbling with Schuller at left back, Li Huan knocked the ball to Martins in the middle without pause, and continued to accelerate forward, if it is Federico standing in the midfield now, then the next must be a two-by-two match that hits the wall, and now it is Martins, Li Huan is also really worried about whether this black boy can pass a good ball, training is not the same as a real game.

Martins was a little nervous, but he didn't pause to make a wall-kick pass.

Martins' passing power was a bit big, and at Li Huan's speed, he also ran to the bottom line to step on the ball, and his body rushed to the billboard. When Li Huan turned around and wanted to control the ball again, the opponent's central defender also arrived and shoveled the ball out of the bottom line. Karlsruhe was awarded a corner.

Although Martins' ball was passed very ordinary, but after all, it came out, Li Huan saw Martins' somewhat apologetic expression, so he smiled and stretched out his thumb to him to give him an encouragement, and he went to punish this corner kick himself. He takes corners from the right and Mane on the left.

It was Karlsruhe's first corner, and the team's best headers rushed to the Bielefeld penalty area to grab a header.

Li Huan glanced at the front and back of the opponent's penalty area, and saw that their goalkeeper Hayne was standing on the left side of the goal, and immediately got up and passed the ball to the back point of the goal, Li Huan's pass was not straight to the back point, but the arc ball drawn out with the outside instep, and actually went straight to the back corner of the goal, Bielefeld's goalkeeper Hayne's face was pale, he didn't expect Li Huan to hang the door directly, he moved to the back corner as fast as possible, and kept praying in his heart that Li Huan's hanging door was not too accurate.

Bang! The ball hit the crossbar and bounced off.

"Damn!" Li Huan waved his fist depressedly, this crossbar, quickly changed after the game, and in less than ten minutes, he blocked his two shots.

The fans in the audience let out an exclamation, and no one expected that it would be a hanging door. It's a pity that it hit the goalpost.
