Chapter 47: We Are Not Soft Eggs (2)
After the start of the game, Fink immediately figured out Becker's trick, the so-called back five is just a cover, from the referee Sonke's whistle Li Huan did not stay in the left-back position for a minute, he appeared in Federico's position, and Federico came behind Ferres and Capparani, this change Fink saw in Karlsruhe against Offenbach, this time although he was deceived by Becker, but he was prepared for this style of play in Karlsruhe, Whether it's four-four-two, three-five-two, he has his players practice how to deal with them, and Fink believes his players can withstand Karlsruhe's attacks. "The whole of Germany knows that Freiburg's defense is bad, don't I know it?" Fink secretly thought that he had already made serious preparations to make up for this weakness, and the back 5 was one of his ways to deal with Karlsruhe today, although Freiburg also used this formation when facing Bayern, Bremen and other strong opponents in the Bundesliga, but Karlsruhe was not qualified to let them discharge the formation of five defenders like this, the No. 14 central defender Diat was actually prepared for Li Huan, Diat can play both defender and midfielder, as long as Li Huan appears in the front court today, Antar is responsible for marking Li Huan, Diat stepped into the midfield position, but he actually played at the back of four and did not weaken the control of the midfield.
Li Huan's position is actually higher than the midfielder, almost becoming a winger, Karlsruhe's entire right side is given up for him, Li Huan can go up and down on the side, and can also cut horizontally to the middle to shoot. Federico cooperates with him tacitly and will not collide with him in the running position, after the change of formation in Karlsruhe before, on the right half of the court, Li Huan, who has super speed, is the absolute ruler.
However, today's situation is a bit weird, Li Huan found that the Lebanese midfielder has been following him from the first minute, at first Li Huan thought it was because of his own possession of the ball, but soon he found that this was not the case at all, the Lebanese man did not leave his side when Freiburg controlled the ball and attacked, and always followed him inch by inch, Li Huan used to play as a defender, and he had no experience in being marked, and he did not see Freiburg's head coach Fink have commanded after the opening, Fink had been sitting in the coach's seat, and Li Huan thought that Antar had done it unintentionally. However, after ten minutes of the game, Antar always followed him like a shadow, and Li Huan finally understood that this was Freiburg's pre-match tactical arrangement. He couldn't help but angrily raise his middle finger at Fink in the coach's box, "Damn, it's so perverted, it's actually a man-marking tactic against a defender." The skin is thicker than Lao Tzu. ”
"He actually sent someone to keep an eye on Li Huan!" Becker in the coach's seat also looked at Fink not far away in surprise, who was sitting on the bench with a calm face, and was not ashamed of his tactical arrangement. At this moment, Becker remembered Fink's confident statement at the pre-match press conference, "Li Huan's attack is very strong, but we have a way to deal with him." "It turned out that this was how it was dealt with, and it seemed that even if Li Huan appeared on the back line, Freiburg would definitely have someone staring at him, because it was arranged before the game. Becker didn't know how to deal with the opponent's tactics for the time being, he could only wait for the change to see how Li Huan would deal with Antar, who was always following him.
Li Huan began to not adapt to the opponent's marking defense, and received the ball as before, Antar did a special study on him before the game, and did not give him the opportunity to receive the ball easily, Li Huan did not get the ball, he defended closely, and did not give Li Huan a chance to turn around. Although Antar's physical condition was a little worse than Li Huan's, after Li Huan carried him, Freiburg's players also surrounded him, and Li Huan had no chance to break through with the ball at all. Li Huan gave up dribbling and switched to passing the ball to play with Federico, but with Antar by his side, the success rate of hitting the wall two-to-one was not as good as before. After an occasional success or two, Li Huan found that he was facing a ferocious foul by the Freiburg left-back. Absolutely ferocious! The tackle is basically a knockdown with the ball. Even if you can't tackle the ball, you have to tackle people, which is not at all like Freiburg's original style of play.
Karlsruhe coach Becker was no longer able to sit firmly in the dugout, and he angrily waved his arm at the fouling player, shouting: "Do you want to kill him?" Seeing that referee Sonck only awarded a free-kick without giving Bernard a yellow card, Becker protested to the fourth official. The fourth official patted him on the shoulder and signaled him to calm down and the referee would make the right decision. Becker's mood eased a little and he stopped yelling.
Freiburg's fierce fouls were not only aimed at Li Huan alone, all the offensive players in Karlsruhe were brutally fouled by Freiburg, which made the players in Karlsruhe a little uncomfortable for a while, because in their impression, Freiburg's style of play is soft, and they have always been afraid of their fierce fouls. The original derby didn't see them so desperate.
When Li Huan was kicked in the middle of the field by Koulibaly from behind and fell to the ground, but Koulibaly turned and walked away, without even the polite act of pulling a hand, Federico was furious, he rushed over and pointed at Koulibaly and said: "You are a barbarian, do you know how to be polite?" ”
The visiting fans in the stands also booed, chanting that Yashvili was rubbish, a villain.
Amid the boos of the fans and the accusations of the opponents, Koulibaly said contemptuously: "I want this kid to understand that we are not soft eggs, and anyone can shovel and kick people." ”
Li Huan stood up, he didn't express his indignation, but said calmly: "I not only scold you for being a soft egg, but I can also prove that you are a soft egg." ”
Koulibaly was stunned by Li Huan's words, and said, "Yellow-skinned monkey, wait and see who is the soft egg." ”
Karlsruhe were not good either, and they fired back with even more vicious fouls on Freiburg's players. Referee Sonk saw a slight escalation in the mood between the players, and he immediately pulled out a yellow card and began to warn of fouls that hurt the players.
One for Freiburg, two for Karlsruhe, and three yellow cards in quick succession from Sonk to calm down the anger of the players on both sides, allowing them to focus on football rather than on the legs of their opponents.
For half an hour, neither Karlsruhe nor Freiburg had fully achieved their goal, and of course neither had completely lost, and the score was still 0-0. Freiburg's man-marking tactics are very effective, Li Huan seems to have a stone on his back, the chance to get the ball is greatly reduced, and there is no chance to break through with the ball, the right side lacks Li Huan's strong insertion into the attack, Karlsruhe's attack power is greatly reduced, and Freiburg has consumed too many troops and energy in defending Li Huan and Federico's side attack, and it is mostly lackluster in attack. The two sides were more entangled in midfield, with only five shots in total in the space of 30 minutes, and only two painless long-range shots hit the woodwork.
Failing to score did not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans, every accurate pass of the players on the field, every clever escape, and even every vicious tackle foul would cause the fans to cheer, in the derby, the excitement of the game is no longer the most important thing, the most important thing is to win, defeat the opponent, trample them under the soles of the feet and humiliate them.
In these thirty minutes, Li Huan has been fighting hard with Antar, and the marking defense is the first time he has encountered it, in his previous life, his body was thin, he had never played a marker, and he didn't know how to get rid of this shadowy bodyguard for a while. Seeing that thirty minutes had passed, he was seen to death, and his teammates couldn't knock on the opponent's door, Li Huan was anxious, and he couldn't wait to kick Antar off the field.
As everyone knows, Antar is even more anxious than Li Huan at this moment, Li Huan is strong, fast and explosive, he has to pay twelve points of energy to barely keep up with Li Huan, the high concentration of attention for a long time has made him feel a little tired, not only physically, but also mentally, he doesn't know if he can support the remaining fifteen minutes, let alone the second half.
This is not only a contest of physical strength and intelligence, but also a contest of will, the last fifteen minutes of the second half has been a goal-scoring period, because the players' concentration and physical strength at this time are beginning to be a little tired, the most prone to make mistakes, it depends on who can seize the opportunity, who can seize the opportunity first who can occupy the initiative on the field.
The first to make a mistake was Karlsruhe, centre-back Boden made a mistake in passing, he wanted to pass the ball to midfielder Aduber, but the force of the pass was a bit small, the ball was cut off by Freiburg's striker Yashvili, who was very fast, grabbed the ball and cut into the box from the empty space between the two central defenders.
It was the best chance since the start of the Freiburg game, and all the Freiburg fans looked at Yashvili in surprise, hoping that the Georgian striker could surprise them and let out a bad breath of a decade of not beating Karlsruhe.
And the visiting fans have already begun to pray that God will help them and block the opposition's striker's one-on-one shot.
Karlsruhe striker Miller is an excited player, the atmosphere of the derby made him extremely excited, playing far beyond the usual level, Yashvili broke the ball and he made a decisive attack, Yashvili entered the box and was about to get up, Miller had already pounced at his feet and pressed the ball to the ground just after leaving Yashvili's feet. According to common sense, Yashvili should have stopped and jumped up at this moment, but Yashvili did not close his foot, his foot kicked on the ball, and the ball hit Miller's face hard, Miller's neck jerked back, his eyes were dark, and he was lying on the ground in a whirlwind.
Seeing that Yashvili didn't stop his feet, the indignation of the players in Karlsruhe suddenly broke out uncontrollably, and the irascible Boden choked Yashvili's neck, Yashvili was not polite, and his backhand also choked Boden's neck. The players of Karlsruhe came around and pushed Yashvili, the players of Freiburg pushed the players of Karlsruhe, the team doctor ran into the field to treat Miller, and the two head coaches also hurried to the field, and there was a big mess on the field, seeing that the players on both sides were about to break out into a large-scale group fight, fortunately at this time the referee Songke ran away, he took out the red card and shook it at the two players who were still pinching each other, Yashvili and Boden, and then looked at the other players who were pushing with blazing eyes, and there was a great intention to continue to play cards. The players froze and didn't dare to move again, and at this time the two coaches, Fink and Becker, also arrived, and they quickly scolded the players to the side. Two players have been sent off now, and if someone is sent off, the game will not be played.
At this time, under the emergency treatment of the team doctor, Miller also came to his senses, he only had a slight concussion after his brain was violently hit by the ball, and there was no big problem.
Freiburg lost a striker, Fink did not adjust the personnel, but the Karlsruhe back line lacked a big general, but it had to be adjusted, Becker did not make a substitution, the first 30 minutes of the game Freiburg marked Li Huan, his change of formation achieved results, so Becker is to withdraw Li Huan to the right-back position, the original replacement of Li Huan Barbera is now moved to the center of the position of the center.
When the game continued, although Li Huan returned to the position of the defender, according to Fink's tactical arrangement, Yashvili should be marked, but now that Yashvili has been punished, someone must score on the front line, Antar has no choice but to press to the position of the striker to continue Li Huan's marking. However, at this time, Antar felt a huge pressure, because there was one player on each side, the space on the field became larger, and Li Huan received more support from his companions in the backfield, which invisibly increased the difficulty of Antar's marking.
When the game entered the last five minutes, Eichna, who had been quiet, suddenly launched an attack on the left side, Federico took the ball in the front court and Ferres and Capalani cooperated to infiltrate the penalty area, at this time Li Huan quickly ran along the side to Freiburg's front, such a long distance, Antar did not foul without the ball for the first time, and it was impossible to keep up with Li Huan, Li Huan ran to the front court at full speed to pick up Federico, Federico saw Li Huan plugged in at high speed from the side, and was overjoyed, and immediately distributed the ball to the side, Li Huan won the ball for the first time in this game without being marked, and he was so happy in his heart that he quickly took the ball to the bottom, and the left fullback Bernard unceremoniously shoveled Li Huan, obviously the ball passed but the ball passed but the ball was passed. But Li Huan distributed the ball to the top of the penalty area before Bernard's tackle. Federico didn't catch the ball at this point, he leaked the ball and the ball leaked to Ferres at the back post. Ferres raised his foot to shoot, but suddenly shook off the defense of central defender Ritter and prepared to enter the penalty area. Ritter lay on the ground in desperation and tripped Ferres with his foot. Referee Sonk was on the sidelines, and he blew the whistle for a foul on Freiburg and awarded Karlsruhe a well-placed free-kick.
The Freiburg fans in the stands were in an uproar, "Fake fall!" Fake fall! "The fans clamored and complained that the referee gave Karlsruhe a free kick, because Freiburg fans know very well what it means to give the opponent a free kick in this position, Karlsruhe defender Li Huan has a nickname called Xiao Li Feidao, his free kick has no precedent for missing so far, giving the opponent a free kick in this position is equivalent to giving the opponent a penalty, and the penalty kick is missed, but Li Huan's free kicks are all shots. However, the referee Sonk was unmoved, he saw the ball clearly, Ritter fouled first, he stood in front of him and if the penalty was not awarded, it would definitely cause great controversy tomorrow. He had to take the free-kick.
The fans in Karlsruhe suddenly became excited, about 25 meters, and the position was on the left side of the goal, which was exactly within Li Huan's range. This one is almost certain that Karlsruhe will get a goal. Although Li Huan has not yet walked in front of the ball, the fans have begun to celebrate in advance, which makes the fans of Freiburg even more angry, and some over-the-top fans can't help but be inferior to the fans of the away team.
The faces of the Karlsruhe players showed a relaxed smile, Federico easily kicked the ball to the penalty spot, and said with a smile: "Li Huan, you have to take this ball in." ”
Li Huan smiled and stepped forward to straighten the ball and made a victory gesture to his teammates, the free kick in this position was his favorite, the position was a little to the left, he just kicked a banana ball with his right foot, the power was a little smaller than the outside instep, but the accuracy was better, and it was more certain than the outside instep shot.
This position actually doesn't need to run, but Li Huan is bent on torturing the fans and goalkeepers of the home team today, he was extremely depressed by Freiburg's players today, I don't know how many kicks he was given, his thighs were scratched with several bloodmarks, and he almost had a fight, if he didn't entertain the opponent at this time, he would not be Li Huan.
Li Huan pulled the running distance to about ten meters, after the referee blew the whistle, he walked easily to the penalty point, and waved to the fans, his posture was like going to a banquet, and what made the goalkeeper Goltz more dissatisfied was that before Li Huan's free throw, he actually gave himself a flying kiss, which is simply a great shame, Goltz hated to save the ball, picked up the ball and smashed it into Li Huan's face, and then scolded: "Go to Mars and pretend to be forced." ”
Li Huan behaved very easily, but he was not polite at all when kicking this free kick, he seemed to be very easy to wave his arms back, raise his legs, and rub the inside of his feet towards the middle and lower parts of the ball, but at the moment when his feet touched the ball, the muscles of his body suddenly contracted, like a whip, the power was transmitted from the waist to the thighs, and the thighs were transmitted to the calves and ankles, and the muscles of the arches of the feet were instantly tensed, concentrating all the power on the ball. Like a spinning top that has been violently whipped by a whip, the ball spun violently over the wall and flew into the front corner of the goal.
