Chapter 062: King of German Standards! Rangnick plays!
The most attractive thing about football is that it is not until the last second.
No one ever knows what will happen.
How arrogant RB Leipzig was in the first half, how frustrated they are now.
The coach's seats on both sides are only seven or eight meters apart, but the atmosphere is completely different.
St. Pauli's side was naturally rejoicing.
"This group of stinky punks, isn't it just a equalizer? Make it like they're ahead! ”
An assistant coach from Leipzig said hatefully as he looked at the other side.
Completely forgot how they celebrated when they scored in the first half.
Only Ralph Rangnick remained motionless on the sidelines, waiting for Sabitzer's details.
Although his face was expressionless, the blue tendons exposed on his forehead already showed that this elegant-looking academic coach was by no means at peace inside.
The news came quickly, Sabitzer was not a big problem, only a slight cramp, and he could continue to persevere.
Rangnick nodded, this matter was related to his next tactical arrangement.
The previous substitution was only a passive adjustment, and the next second substitution is when he really played his cards.
It's just that even he didn't expect St. Pauli's goal to come so quickly.
"Warmed up?"
A tall Red Bull player stood silently beside Rangnick, watching with interest the celebrations of the St. Pauli players across from him, with a cynical smile on his face, and no sign of the anxiety of the team after conceding the goal.
"Yes, Professor! I can't wait! ”
"Go for Dominic! They know what formation to use. ”
Rangnick didn't do much, just patted the player the back.
No coach wants to be overturned on his home turf.
The fourth official on the sidelines held up the substitution card.
Magnum, who was waiting to see the game, immediately set his sights on the new players.
Information about the other party flashed through his mind.
David Sec, only 20 years old, but the height has reached 1.95 meters high school forward.
He scored 9 goals in Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga last season and was hailed as Klose's successor, and it is rumored that Loew is scouting him, but he has not been selected for the time being because the national team is now playing without a striker.
To everyone's surprise, he actually joined RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga in the new season, and 8 million euros is also the transfer bid of the Bundesliga this season, which is enough to prove his strength and potential.
It can only be said that Leipzig is too extravagant, and such a player can't even play the main team.
There was no time to give Almighty an emotion, because he immediately found a detail.
Celke replaced another defender, Kaiser?
Rangnick: What kind of operation is this?
As soon as the ball was restarted, Leipzig's formation was pulled out, and Magnum understood.
It seems that the professor is also in a hurry!
A 4-2-4 formation was offered!
There is no other trick than to replace a midfielder and add a striker!
This is what it means to attack to the death!
Since you want to execute the strangulation tactic in the midfield, then I'll go both ways!
While avoiding the midfield, add another fulcrum to the frontcourt!
Continue to carry out high-pressure pressing in the front court!
And with the arrival of Celke, Leipzig's two wings also changed the previous style of breakthrough-based and began to hang up with long passes!
With this big center, their success rate of long passes has also increased visibly!
Previously, their long passes were mainly played in the back, but because Magnum used the card "Add Butcher's Chicken Blood Elixir", the players were very focused, and under the command of captain Günther, they successfully created offside traps on several occasions and defused Leipzig's attack.
But after replacing Celke, Leipzig's long pass has another option.
Whether facing Gunther or Neyareger, Sec always relied on his height to grab the first point, and with him around, Leipzig's other front-court players were like sharks cruising around, waiting for their chance at any moment.
The two strikers were like two thick horns, dead on the vital point of St. Pauli.
Rangnick, you thick-eyed guy with big eyebrows, you are still known as the godfather of German football in vain, you are so shameless!
Isn't that using my tricks against me?
Almighty scolded secretly in his heart!
Having said that, I have to admit that Rangnick's trick really worked.
The St. Pauli backline immediately felt the pressure!
If the back four stand a little tighter, Leipzig will distribute the ball to the flanks, and if they are scattered, they will find a fulcrum in the middle.
In the 67th minute, Leipzig made a long pass directly to Selc in the backfield, and the center's header was ferried, and Forsberg, who received the ball, did not hesitate and shot directly from a distance, but unfortunately the ball was high above the crossbar.
In the 72nd minute, Hastenburg broke the ball on the side, and after playing a one-two on the side, Hastenburg crossed with his feet, and it was Selc who grabbed the front point and hit the goal with a direct header, but fortunately he grazed the post and went out of the bottom line.
In the 75th minute, RB Leipzig took the ball again, but this time it was not Selke who made the pass, but saw the ball on the right side of St. Pauli.
Against the diminutive Zatkowski, Forsberg also easily got the first point, and then knocked the ball across to the receiving Ilsanke, who took a few steps with the ball and saw the St. Pauli midfielder pressing up and moving the ball to the other side.
Sabitzer, who had been cramping a bit earlier, pretended to break through, but instead passed the ball to the retreating striker Poulsen.
Poulsen didn't stop the ball, and with a direct push, the ball reached the feet of Forsberg, who quietly moved to the middle.
Forsberg kicked a straight shot, but it was a pity that Celke started a little slower, and the ball was held in the arms of the attacking Himmelman.
Although the goal did not result in a shot, it was also a wake-up call for St. Pauli.
During this time, their attention was on the high ball, but Leipzig made a sneak attack on the ground.
This is not an option.
Magnum stood in the front court, twisted his neck, and looked to the sidelines.
St. Pauli substitution.
Assistant coach Manuel followed through with his move, bringing on winger Sobota for Zatkowski.
Zatkowski's size has suffered a bit from playing as a full-back, so this move is something he has been preparing for a long time.
It's just that looking at the current situation on the field, this backhand still needs to make a little adjustment.
Magnum ran to Sobota, who had just come on.
The latter was about to cross the pitch and go to the right midfielder position, but Magnum called out to him.
"You play left, Lennart you play forward!"
The two players who received the coach's instructions were a little dumbfounded, what kind of tactic is this?
Magnum ignored them and continued to run to the backfield.
"Bernd, you go to the right, Pompon, don't you always want to play in front? Here's your chance! ”
When O'Neil Hernandez heard his coach say this, his eyes immediately began to glow.
Magnum's first value for him is that this kid can play all positions on the right wing, and there is no coach who doesn't like this kind of jack-of-all-trades player.
That's right, I'm just boasting about myself.
In the whole of German football, there should be no one more versatile than me.
Magnum stood on the back line and silently gave himself a thumbs up.
Yes, that's how he coped with it.
Swap your position directly from centre forward to centre-back.
The king of the German second standard?
Klose's heir?
Leipzig's secret weapon?
Boy, I'm here to touch you!
