Chapter 39: Revenge (3)
At the beginning of the second half, Offenbach's team was replaced by another person, the left-back Haight who was beaten by Li Huan in the first half was replaced, he received a yellow card, and met a fierce man like Li Huan, if he was sent off because of eating cards in the second half of the duel, the blow to morale and strength was difficult to measure, as a German coach Hoysen's thinking is very thoughtful and meticulous.
I don't know what wind Hoyson blew in the dressing room, Offenbach's players swept away the gloom and slump in the first half, and fought desperately in the midfield from the beginning, fighting with China's mad dog tactics. Karlsruhe expected the opponent's counterattack, but he didn't expect the counterattack to come so fiercely, the first few minutes were very passive, almost pressed in the half by the opponent, Offenbach was afraid of Li Huan's super offensive and defensive ability, and did not attack Karlsruhe's right side, but desperately attacked their left side. Karlsruhe's left-sided Boden is a centre-back who is not very good at defending on the flanks and was almost broken down the wing by the opponent to score. Seeing that the situation was not good, Becker quickly replaced Eichner when the opponent took a corner, and used an orthodox full-back to resist the opponent's attack.
Eichner's arrival stabilized Karlsruhe's defence, and Offenbach's attack was blocked and retreated into midfield, where the two sides fought fiercely. It has come to the 20th minute of the second half, Offenbach is still playing very well, in the German Cup, they do have much stronger fighting power than the league, 0:2 behind, even a lot of well-trained, highly tactical Bundesliga teams will become impatient in this situation, but Offenbach can keep such a style of play is a strange thing.
Offenbach is not in a hurry, Karlsruhe is even less anxious, the 2-0 score can already give them a chance to make mistakes, they can maintain this state until the end, revenge is very important, but after scoring two goals away from home, their anger is a lot, if they can score again, no one wants to waste, but at the moment what they have to do is to win the game with the minimum cost, because there is still the league behind, no one wants to spend all their energy on this game, If you just play happily for this game, and you delay the rest of the game, it will be worth the loss. Of course, the most fundamental problem is that in the second half the opponent played well after recovering and did not give them too many chances.
Karlsruhe replaced the veteran Dundee, replaced the faster Ferres, and slowly played a war of attrition with the opponent in the midfield, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, after being fooled by the opponent in the last game, they learned to be smart and knew how to be patient with the opponent slowly, anyway, they are now leading 2:0.
In the final 20 minutes of the game, Offenbach did not find a flaw in Karlsruhe and had no choice but to fight to the death, Hoyson replaced a defender with the last striker and began to fight with Karlsruhe.
Karlsruhe saw that the cunning opponent couldn't hold their breath, and they were not in a hurry, so they used the same trick that the opponent dealt with them in the league, concentrated in the rear, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, handed the ball to Federico at the first opportunity, and then launched a quick counterattack from the right side where Li Huan was.
As soon as Hoyson made a substitution, Karlsruhe gave him a dismount, the central defender's header passed to Federico who went in front of the front, Federico passed the space behind the Offenbach defender, Li Huan went straight along the side, and then Karlsruhe outflanked three players from the left and middle sides, but in the end the ball was cleared by Offenbach's defender, otherwise Offenbach could only fight for honor.
But there is a big gap in strength between a team like Offenbach and Karlsruhe, they can make do with a defensive counterattack, and it is a joke to press Karlsruhe to attack, a few minutes later, Karlsruhe once again got a good opportunity to counterattack, this time the initiator is still Federico, the person who quickly went down became Ferres on the left, and the outflanking people became Federico, Capalani and Li Huan, but this time Karlsruhe did not miss this great opportunity again, Federico tiptoe the ball into the ball at the front post. Changed the score to 3:0.
After the goal, Federico was excited and hugged Li Huan who rushed over, and the two walked to the sideline with each other's shoulders and stretched out three fingers to the fans, indicating that they had returned the humiliation to the opponent three times.
The away fans, who had already satisfied 2:0, were even more excited, and the fans stretched out three fingers to shake at the fans and players of Offenbach, for whom this was a perfect revenge, this revenge was even more painful, because the league lost and had a chance to come back, but the German Cup was out of Offenbach and Offenbach had to wait for next year.
The score became 3:0, the cunning Offenbach could no longer hold back his anger, the head coach Hoyson waved his hand, signaling the team to press hard, at the moment they can only fight for honor, they were scored three goals by the opponent at home, if they can't score a goal to save a little face, how can they have the face to face the fans in the future.
The more Offenbach was in a hurry to score a face-saving goal, the more he couldn't score a goal, but their open-minded style of play made them have a bigger gap in the backfield, and when the game was about to reach the ninety minutes, Karlsruhe got a good chance again, goalkeeper Miller threw the ball to Mane in the middle, Mane pushed directly to Li Huan on the right, Li Huan drove straight into the ball and went straight into the opponent's penalty area from the side. Substitute left-back Huber was overtaken by Li Huan from behind, and he didn't even have a chance to foul. can only follow the chase in the back, Li Huan's speed is too fast, when he went down to the side of the penalty area, he found that his teammates were tired, the speed could not keep up, he could only fall behind, he killed the bottom line and crossed and no teammates could have time to outflank, Li Huan immediately changed his mind, no longer went to the bottom, cut to the penalty area with the ball, and decided to hit the goal himself, when Li Huan cut in, the opponent's central defender Leroux also returned to the defense in place, he is the core of Offenbach's backline, In the last league Offenbach was a clean sheet against Karlsruhe under his leadership, but the opponent scored three goals in this game, which made him feel very ashamed, seeing Li Huan with the ball to his own penalty area, he and goalkeeper Wurnikovsky grabbed a grab, one blocked Li Huan's shooting angle, the two of them were resolute, and resolutely did not let Li Huan score again on their field, because Li Huan scored another goal and scored a hat trick again, Offenbach is Germany's scratching market, But they don't sell hats.
Li Huan didn't expect that he had to score a hat trick at the moment, the two opponents he was facing at the moment, and the defenders who would catch up at any time behind him, he spent all his energy on dealing with the opponents in front of him.
Lelu didn't dare to foul in the penalty area, but followed Li Huan closely, and his biggest hope was to be able to drag Li Huan until his teammates were in place. Only by two people sandwiching this defender can it be possible to break the ball, or at least to be able to clear it easily.
Li Huan is very difficult now, Lelu is in front of him, he didn't shake him off for two consecutive drums, if you want to shoot vigorously, there will definitely be no chance, this experienced defender will not give him enough time to exert his strength, stabbing and sneaking is a good way, but if he can't make a force, he is likely to be saved by the goalkeeper, pass? Teammates haven't come up yet.
Li Huan suddenly made a move with his left foot to shoot, Lelu raised his foot to block, Li Huan raised his foot and buckled back, buckled the ball to the back of his supporting foot, and made a Cruyff turn, Li Huan's body of 1.83 meters was as flexible as a bobcat at this time, smashing the ball and turning around in one go, Leroux had not turned around, Li Huan took advantage of the situation to hit the goal with his right foot, this kick was purely based on his habitual surname, Li Huan didn't even care where the goalkeeper Wulnikovsky was, He didn't want to shoot the corner of the goal, and he didn't have time to think about the mess at the moment, and the opponent wouldn't give him that time.
At such a close distance in the penalty area, as long as Li Huan didn't hit the goalkeeper or the goalpost, the ball would be there, but Li Huan's luck was very bad, his shot hit the goalkeeper's leg and bounced out, and the goalkeeper Wulnikovsky really didn't have time to react.
However, Offenbach did not escape this disaster, the ball bounced to the right side of the penalty area, and at this time the substitute Eschiner, who was full of energy, caught up with this point, he grabbed the opponent's right-back and raised his foot to meet the ball and shoot, the ball suddenly turned back like an arrow and went straight to the bottom right corner of Offenbach's goal, goalkeeper Wurnikovsky had time to react this time, but Eschiner's volley was too powerful, and the ball had already flown into the bottom of the net when he flew over.
It was Ezner's first goal of the season, and it was a world wave. The excited Eichner got carried away, he took off his shirt and waved it and ran to the stands, at this moment he felt that the taste of scoring a goal was so wonderful, just like **, no matter how good the foreplay is, how wonderful the process is, shooting is the happiest, in order to bring**.
His teammates were happy for him and ran over to congratulate him, but the silly boy was still immersed in the thrill of scoring goals, allowing his teammates to hug him and beat him, and he himself still waved his jersey desperately, as if it was a victory flag.
The fans in the stands applauded Eichner's goal, the conservative left-back finally scored a goal, can he grow into a super defender like Li Huan, of course, even if he can't, as long as he can have half of Li Huan's effort, the fans will be satisfied. After all, a Li Huan is already a gift from God.
