Chapter 26: Winning Streak (3)

"Me?!" Eichner couldn't believe his ears, and the second half didn't even have ten minutes, and the manager actually let himself warm up.

"Didn't you want me to go up and play at left-back?" Becker shouted.

"Thank you, coach, I'll go, I'll go!" Eichner almost fell out of his seat in excitement and ran to warm up.

Becker substituted him off the pitch before Karls could cause a big havoc, just ten minutes into the second half. Karls also knew that his performance was a little reckless and impulsive, but he had always been the main left-back in Karlsruhe, he could not accept being substituted in this time period, and when he walked to the sidelines, he did not shake hands with Eichner, who was waiting for his hand, nor did he return to the bench, he went directly to the dressing room. Eichner was embarrassed, his teammates were surprised, Becker was furious, and the Bochum fans were delighted and cheered for Kars.

Eichner was cultivated in the Karlsruhe academy, his assist ability is not too strong, but the defense is quite solid, but he lacks a little experience in the game, he is ordered in danger, and is hostile to his teammates, as a result, this young man actually burst into valuable potential, with the help of the midfielder to resist Bochum's repeated onslaught, and try to keep the left side without conceding. Eichner's performance was met with applause from the Karlsruhe fans, who came over to pat him on the shoulder to encourage him.

Thirty minutes into the second half, Bochum still did not pry open the opponent's door, left and right in the middle, whether it was high-altitude bombing or short pass penetration, whether it was a strong long-range shot or a set-piece combination, they were breaking through the opponent's door, even if the defender occasionally made a mistake, their goalkeeper Miller also saved the goal like a god. Football is like a war, one blow, and then three times and then exhausted, the morale of the players who have not been able to beat Bochum for a long time has been frustrated, and the confidence to win has gradually been lost, and they are not as good as Karlsruhe in terms of tenacity, otherwise they would not be promoted and relegated so frequently.

Li Huan, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of attacking, did not give up assists during this time, but because the opponent's defense on the right side is very cautious, squeezing and pulling are commonplace, and unconventional actions such as shoveling kicks are not uncommon, the referee of the German Second Division is not always able to see what is going on, and there are many times when he doesn't see the salary, Li Huan fell to the ground, and there were two counterattacks when the opponent hit behind him, fortunately, Federico has been careful to help him protect the rear, otherwise it is likely to be a big mess.

Eichner successfully completed his defensive task, his left side defense has been very weak, but he has never dared to attack, he is afraid of mistakes, this opportunity to play is rare, Kars has always been the first choice for this position, the coach will not put him on the bench because he went directly to the locker room, once he makes a mistake, maybe there will not be such a long playing time in the next game, like Li Huan assists or goals are naturally the most brilliant, but Li Huan is a genius, The best thing for an ordinary player like him to do is not to seek merit but to be innocent.

Chances were always in front of Eichner, the temptation to attack was always there, and the Bochum men despised a defender who was reluctant to even try to attack, and their defensive focus was always on the right flank. Eichner is not calm, even the most ordinary person will dream of becoming famous overnight, and he will dream of becoming a millionaire with a lottery ticket.

In the seventy-fifth minute of the second half, Li Huan was kicked down by Misimovich, who likes to defend with his eyes and heart, when he took the ball to assist, the referee did not see it, and the linesman was also distracted for a while, and as a result, Bochum took the opportunity to play a beautiful counterattack, but their luck was really back to the extreme, the main center Orr forgot to bring his shooting boots today, and his stabbing shot hit the post again, and Orr, who was played twice by the goalpost, kicked the post madly, and hated to eat it.

Captain Stoll looked at Orr with apprehension, and said to Li Huan: "It's not bad to have a point, don't take any more risks." ”

Li Huan smiled indifferently and said: "Captain, the head coach has given me the task of tearing apart the opponent's defense, if I don't even dare to try, how can I deserve the coach's trust." ”

"If I don't even dare to try, how can I deserve the trust of the coach." Li Huan's words hit Eichner's heart like a sledgehammer, making him ashamed and embarrassed, he understood why he had been on the bench, but Li Huan could only impress the head coach in three days, and now he has become the absolute main force. Not just because he is a genius, but because he has courage.

In the 80th minute, Eichner tried to launch an assist on the wing, Bochum was indeed a little unexpected, and was rushed to the bottom line by Eichner, but the amazing thing was that Eichner's pass went directly out of the bottom line, which was equivalent to clearing the opponent. Immediately in the stands, Bochum fans cheered enthusiastically. However, Li Huan applauded Eichner on the other side and made a forward gesture, signaling that he was doing a good job and continued to work hard.

Two minutes later, Eichner made a comeback, barely receiving a decent interception in midfield, rushing straight to the wing and head-to-head with Lenze, who didn't look up to the kid either, jamming the inside to prevent Eschner from cutting inside and leaning sideways to block Eichner's cross.

In the face of the former Bundesliga defender, Eichner was unusually nervous, his brain was blank, and he habitually made an inward cut feint, and then raised his foot to pass the ball to the penalty area, Lenze was not deceived by this idiot-like feint, but his blocking was a beat slower, and after playing for more than 80 minutes, his physical reaction dropped a lot, and he couldn't keep up with Eichner, who came on the field.

Lenze looked at the path of the ball in annoyance, and couldn't help but smile, because Eichner's pass was high and floating, flying straight to the right side of the goal, and it looked like he had cleared Bochum again, but this time the direction of the flight was not the bottom line but the sideline.

However, just when everyone regretted Eichner's pass, a figure on the left side of the Bochum goal was lightning bolted, and his leaning and sprinting figure was completely tantamount to a leopard hunting for food, which was Karlsruhe's right-back Li Huan.

As the ball fell, Lee welcomed the ball with his left foot and pumped it, and after a brief contact with the outside instep, the ball made a wonderful arc towards the back corner of the goal.

This is a shot that is unexpected by anyone, of course, Bochum's goalkeeper Duinhofen is no exception, he never thought that Li Huan would shoot directly, of course, it could also be that Li Huan wanted to pass the ball, and he didn't stop the ball because he wanted to hit a sudden surname. But no matter what, the ball flew towards the goal.

Goalkeeper Doinhofen flew backwards to save the ball, but it was too late and the ball flew into the net against the poster.

Duinhofen covered his face with his hands, he couldn't believe that it was a fact that he could score a goal with such a shot, whether the opponent's shooting skills were too strong, or it was too lucky. But no matter what, he was the unlucky guy of the day, and he was scored at this sensitive moment. "Oh my God! Scored! The ball is in! It's incredible! Wonderful volley! Extremely small, is he the reincarnation of Robert Carlos? Bochum's commentator shouted excitedly, "The Chinese have been working hard, now he has got the opportunity to score a world wave, after a super long shot from the Copa del Rey, the young defender shocked Germany again, his talent is unmatched, he has scored in three games in a row, oh my God, he's a defender, he's not a striker." Bochum is in danger! With less than ten minutes left, they only have ten minutes to save their fate. ”

The Bochum fans in the stands were stunned, their eyes were full of despair, and the Karlsruhe fans were crazy, everyone chanted Li Huan's name, this is a name that can create magic, after coming to Karlsruhe, he brought a miraculous aura to this team, constantly scoring goals, constantly winning, what else could this young man not do.

Karlsruhe's head coach, assistant coaches, and substitutes all jumped up, and Thaler in the VIP box forgot his identity and cheered loudly like a regular fan. Li Huan pulled up the corner flag and waved it hard, this goal was like a dream, even he didn't expect to score, he just wanted to quickly hit back to the middle, or he also had the intention of hitting the goal, in short, this goal was very complicated.

All the frontcourt players of the Karlsruhe team ran over and hugged Li Huan tightly, and slapped the turf on the turf together to celebrate, this goal was really wonderful. Everyone was crazy about the goal.

Li Huan's goal has almost pronounced the death sentence of the Bochum team, Karlsruhe morale is boosted, Bochum morale is depressed, under normal circumstances Bochum did not knock on the door of Karlsruhe, so under the elimination of the other, can they still have hope?

Kohler sat in the dugout with a complicated expression, he had a premonition that he might lose, because he saw despair in the eyes of the players, the last game was 1:0, if this game was lost 0:1, what will happen to the next game?

After less than a minute, Kohler stood up decisively, he strode to the sidelines, and shouted loudly to the stunned Bochum players on the field: "Stand up, stand up if it's a man, don't fight like a girl, fight to the end like a man, even if you lose in the end, you have to lose like a man." ”

Bochum's players were impressed by the coach who had won only four games last season, at least a man who dared to face backwardness and difficulties, such a coach should be respected regardless of his results, and in fact, if they had followed Kohler's instructions from the beginning, they might not have fallen into such a difficult and dangerous situation as they are now.
