Chapter Fifty-Nine: Shocked

Stevens quickly noticed something unusual on the court.

The Dutchman stood upright, standing upright in the mixed area, as if counting the numbers, and his gaze slowly wandered back and forth on the pitch.

Romantic tulip country, elegant Dutchman, he is an outlier in the middle of the being.

He doesn't pursue creative power, doesn't want so many fancy things, just practicality, just patience, he can lead this team that looks mediocre in all aspects, and become an old powerhouse.

This philosophy of pragmatism is actually more like the work of a stubborn and conservative old German man.

He didn't see any contradictions.

Different plants can grow on every piece of land, let alone people?

The coal miners' team not only sounds unambitious, but will become the laughing stock of the giants, saving it for fun after tea and dinner.

Only he knows what kind of story lies behind a qiē.

In the monotonous life of the Ruhr mining area, football is the place where the workers have the greatest hope, far more than entertainment!

For them, the imaginary power of creation is a luxury and fragile thing, and the bloody battle like a man, the wolf pack tactics of collectivism supremacy, are the blood that flows in their bones. Similarly, the outrageous patience in the darkness and the excitement that swept through the light of day are their signature style of play.

Football, i.e. culture.

The people of this land are also eager to support the team to get good results. But the overly simple style of play and the generally similar characteristics of the players make it difficult for them to compete with strong teams. In the early 90s, when the team's finances were in trouble, they also became a lift, and gradually moved away from the road of the strong with a heart-wrenching table.

Change. It has become the most urgent wish of all the followers.

When he came to this team, he was questioned a lot.

Dutch?

In the country below sea level, in the land where euthanasia and doomsday complexes are the strictest, will there be different fruits?

If you change the style of the team rashly. Will it not be like four or six?

Amid the chatter, he led the team forward.

It wasn't until May of this year, after completing the biggest breakthrough in the team's history, that a qiē sound came to an abrupt end.

With his actions, he told the people of this land.

You guys, you didn't do it to the extreme, and you were shaken halfway!

Today's game, the script of both teams. It was going on as he had written, until 50 minutes into the second half.

The Kaiserslautern team, which has a lot of eggs, actually calmed down!

The signal is too dangerous, we have to find the source!

Than patience, veterans will not be afraid.

But the creative power that slowly emerged in the patience made them have to attach great importance to it!

With 58 minutes into the game, Kaiserslautern still couldn't break through the opposition defence, with only two shots on goal. A long-range shot didn't threaten much, and another shot from a tight angle ended up deflecting wide.

This kind of table xiàn seems to people who pursue the number jù. is far from qualified. Schalke 04, who has been doing a drip-tight defense, feels uncomfortable.

Sort of, can't keep up with the rhythm!

The struggle for the initiative in the game is always the main theme. Even if you give up the ball, you won't let the opponent lead the way. Teams of their kind are counting on flashy and complex ensembles to tear apart opposition defences. Obviously, it is difficult for some strongmen to plan.

Therefore, to concede the ball, just for the open area in the counter-attack. If you add the opponent's mistakes, the originally mediocre attack power will be magnified a lot.

But now the opponent's patience passes. From time to time, individual ability is displayed, so that their defense has the feeling of being pulled by the opponent to move.

It's not a good feeling!

Defense is a passive thing, and if you want to achieve your goal, you have to rely on early judgment as support, find the key to actively solve problems in passivity, and strangle the threat of the opponent in the cradle.

To put it simply, their on-field defense line has not gone wrong, but the psychological defense line is a little loose.

This kind of sign was accurately captured by the head coach, so he got up and changed, it was two people!

By the way, Stevens turned his head and glanced at Rehhagel, who was teaching at the right time, and Lu Wei, who was smiling.

In the 60th minute of the game, Christov went down, Lu Wei went up, and Ballack returned to the right midfield position

No one is unclear about the significance of Lu Wei's entry into the game at this time, and no one will ignore his role in the game.

But even if you know, what should come will still come. Like a crisis PR, how to limit his destructive power has become the key to the game!

Lu Wei seems to have been accustomed to playing as a substitute, as soon as he got on the field, he showed a very good competitive state, and in less than ten minutes, he has completed three personal breakthroughs!

Kaiserslautern's attack suddenly became even more uncomfortable for the opponent!

The two guys that Stevens replaced did not have outstanding individual ability, but the game was at this time to replenish fresh blood. What he didn't expect was Lu Wei's excellent form.

A simple breakthrough is not terrible, and the Schalke 04 team, which is good at chain defense, has plenty of experience to face this kind of one-on-one strong performance.

But those who are familiar with Lu Wei know that after this guy breaks through, he rarely kicks himself!

The breakthrough is quick and flexible, and the passing becomes more difficult to judge.

So, with the attack that was highly revitalized, the shooters began to perform!

Sheri, Ballack, Yumo, the three guys, high on the ground, from far to near, began to test the goalkeeper of Schalke 04.

Among the three, Sheri is the fulcrum, and he has been using his good form to exert force in the air. Barak was a long-range heavy gunner and was mainly responsible for perimeter fire. You Mo is more cloudy, in the sky and on the ground, in the ditch and in the river, no one knows what he wants to do, what he can do, and what he did in the end.

Moreover, in addition to these guys, Sforza's state was also activated, and the table on the field began to be active. Lachinho, who has never been able to go up, also completely relaxed, retreated a little bit, and played a defensive back with peace of mind.

With so many guys, how to prevent it?

Something that Stevens had been vaguely worried about. It's finally a reality. Although I am helpless in my heart, I will not have any sad and lost feelings.

His disciples are very capable of execution, but their ability to adapt is slightly weaker.

This state of affairs is also the result of a single tactic over a long period of time.

If you want to be the best, you have to be distracted, especially if you don't have a lot of talent. Too much thinking can slow down decisions and ultimately outweigh the losses.

Adaptability, in addition to talent, needs to be honed for a long time. What these disciples are not good at, he, as the head coach, has become dependent. In such a situation, quickly drawing up a plan and controlling the dangerous person on the other side has become a matter that must be decided to the best of its ability.

Stevens thought about it for a moment, and the answer was imminent.

The guy who is the third in the shooter list!

Of course. This kind of focus doesn't mean relaxing your attention to others, it's just that your center of gravity is tilted when defending, and you will always keep an eye on this guy's movement options

The game continued.

It has been 78 minutes, the effect of Lu Wei's arrival has been fully amplified, and under the patient passing, Schalke 04's defense line has been constantly pulled open, and while opportunities appear frequently, everyone has begun to look forward to it.

The kid who repeatedly works miracles in this situation. It's time to perform!

Another offense.

Latchinho crosses from the right and passes to Ballack on the touchline.

Once a silly boy. has initially gained a firm foothold in the team, and there is no longer any need to pretend to be cute to win favor. The middle lane failed to have a good appearance, and he held back a breath of anger in his heart. If it weren't for Rehhagel's timely tactical seminars, he might have continued to end his own lackluster game with an impatient watch.

Now, no!

The ball is on the halfway line, on the right touchline. His choice was decent. A cross was handed to Sforza, who came to pick him up, and he continued to rush along the flank.

The Swiss was also very average in the first half, and he was always hesitating because of his taciturn personality. Do you want to apologize at halftime?

His position in this team is peculiar.

is obviously the most descendant disciple of the head coach, but he has not been able to obtain the corresponding status. Whether it is the right to speak or the shouting on the field, he does not show the domineering spirit of being born as the core of a team.

Therefore, this hesitation tormented him, making him rarely doubt his appearance.

Wouldn't it be, it's not stated!

This is what happens a lot on the pitch.

If the tactics are not right, the game will be played awkwardly, the guys who are sensitive and not confident will doubt themselves from time to time, and there is no way to maintain 100% attention.

It wasn't until the root of the disease was found out that he suddenly realized.

It turns out that it's not that there is no state, it's that everyone is too anxious!

To deal with the old hunter, how can you pass in three or two, break through once or twice, completely tear open the gap in the defensive line, and finally kill with one blow?

At this point in the game, his body was a little tired, but his heart was very refreshed!

Be patient, learn patience from your opponents!

With his back to the ball, he didn't use his trademark change of pace to fight for a breakthrough. Half turned, took two steps diagonally to the left, and he spotted Lu Wei on the left periphery.

The defender next to him, the guy who was close to the receiver, the guy who was responsible for cutting off the connection in the middle, the three of them at the same time, highly concentrated, and when they were about to break the ball, he used his left foot to dunk it, and the ball obediently returned to the right side of his body!

The target, Barak who has been plugged in at high speed!

This is the case that makes Schalke 04 uncomfortable!

Playing cards not according to common sense, not choosing the most threatening storage zài, but becoming the most threatening choice!

Barak is not sure about Sforza's choice, but now, even if he runs away, he will not have any psychological burden.

Be patient, be patient!

Ballack received the ball on the right sideline, faced with the good space in front of him, the ball touched between the left and right feet, and broke through!

However, this breakthrough is not as sharp as expected.

After all, on the right flank, just leveling the line of the penalty area, it is difficult to maximize the attacking threat even if there is plenty of passing time.

Patience, the patience to devote yourself to the game!

After a surprise break on the flanks, Ballack found his way to the heavily guarded ribs. With this kind of defensive density, his not outstanding breakthrough ability is not enough.

Already in range, he took two steps sideways to the middle and pulled out his right leg before the defenders could get closer!

The shot that was taken for granted did not appear, and Ballack's right foot quickly fell and continued to cross!

Left ribs, Lu Wei!

When did he get to the shocking position? (To be continued......)
