Frost Shooter of Greenery

Chapter 243
After leading the score, Mainz's formation was slightly withdrawn, but Klopp asked the striker to continue to keep pressure on Hamburg's goal. Klopp would not retreat to defense because of a one-goal lead. After all, 1:0 is not safe.

What's more, Hamburg's strength is still very strong, and Joel's diamond-shaped midfielder in this game is also very targeted.

It is to concentrate their firepower to attack the middle, and the target is Nowitzki, a tall and slow central defender. Subotic is similar, but Subotic's defensive ability is better, so they will concentrate their firepower on the Macedonian defender. .

Olic is the representative. As long as Nowitzki gets the ball, the Croatian will keep harassing and grabbing. The same is true for Petrich, but his fighting intensity is not as fierce as Olic.

Mainz's defense was under great pressure. Near the end of the half, Olic made a sudden advance and made a strong steal, and even snatched the ball from Nowitzki's feet!

Seeing this, Subotic immediately made up his position. Olic rushed into the penalty area facing Subotic all the way, and then made a cross. Petrich shot a burst!
The ball was actually blocked by Subotic. The Serbian defender almost threw his body in front of Petritsch and forcibly blocked the explosive shot!

A textbook-like one defense against two!

Making sure the ball went out of the baseline, Subotic stood up and roared to celebrate the successful defense, and Nowitzki ran up to apologize that the ball was his mistake.

The players retreated to the penalty area to defend the corner kick, Zize and Schurrle stayed in the frontcourt to counterattack, Ivan Schitz was left in the midfield, and everyone else defended the corner kick.

Just now Mainz scored through a corner kick attack, and Hamburg also paid great attention to this attack, take the corner kick, find the front point!

The front point is Brazilian central defender Silva, who is the tallest player in the Hamburg team except for the goalkeeper, but the ball defending him is Nowitzki, who is taller than him.

Nowitzki made up for it and pushed the ball out, while Ivan Schitz rushed to the football. As soon as he received it, he swung his foot vigorously to pass the ball, and the football flew directly to the frontcourt.

After kicking the ball, Ivan Schitz also fell to the ground in embarrassment, but he wore the ball very accurately, and the goal was Schurrle.

This kind of long pass may be more suitable to find Qi Ce, but it may not work in this game. Matheson has been staring at Qi Ce. Facing this kind of long-distance ball, Ma Theisen has enough time to judge the landing point. Look for places where the defense is relatively weak.

That is, Schurrle's side.

After Xu Erle got the ball, he drove straight in with the ball and hit Huanglong!

I saw him dribbling the ball past Hamburg full-back Jansen, and then sprinting all the way into the penalty area. Except for the unsatisfactory position of the first pass, it was basically a one-and-a-half one-and-a-half!

Zize immediately ran to the side. The German teenager Boateng was already chasing Schurrle, but seeing Zize's running position, he hesitated a bit, but still chose to stare at Schurrle who was holding the ball.

Zize ran behind, very anxious, why didn't this Xu Erle pass the ball!

Schurrle has already dribbled the ball close to the penalty area. Hamburg goalkeeper Rost and Boateng's marking one after the other made Schurrle almost lose space, and Zize's side was completely unmarked.
Accompanied by the exclamation of the audience at the Bruchru Stadium, Schurrle finally passed the ball!
Boateng stretched out his foot to block, but failed to block the ball. Qi Ce, who was catching up at full speed, followed up and shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball hit the empty goal!

Mainz's speed wins!

"Good job!"

Zize ran forward to celebrate the goal with Xu Erle, this kid finally scored a goal.

If it were him before, he would definitely finish the job with one shot. If the ball is scored, he can brag for a while, and if he fails to score, he will be scolded by his teammates and fans, but this time he chose to pass the ball.

Before running, Schürle had already observed that Qi Ce followed him all the way. Not passing the pass earlier was also a reflection of his lack of confidence in his footwork, but at the final critical moment, he still passed it.

"I passed it pretty well!"

Zize smiled and patted Xu Erle on the head: "Yes, there is progress, next time you can pass it on earlier, be more confident."

Xu Erle nodded again and again: "No problem!"

2: 0!

Mainz continued to expand the score at the end of the first half!

With the goal scored at this point in time, the atmosphere at the Bruch Road Stadium has reached its peak, and the tickets for the final are just around the corner!

In another venue, Werder Bremen leads Schalke 1 0:04. This team is likely to meet Mainz in the final.

In the locker room at halftime, the atmosphere was very lively.

However, Klopp poured cold water on everyone. After all, it is only the first half. Even if we win the ball, we should not be complacent. The final is still to come.

It is necessary to ensure that there is still a final to play this season!

In the second half, this state was indeed taken advantage of by Hamburg.

Nowitzki, who made a mistake before, did not make a mistake this time. Bongert made a pass error and was intercepted by Olic. This time Olic did not take the ball and sent a cross directly from the side.

Petrich headed back to do it, and Trohovski shot the ball to close the score to one goal.

Klopp was a little dissatisfied and yelled at Bonget, who covered his head, feeling very guilty. He was also the one who made the most noise in the locker room just now, and he was punished this time.

The time is 10 minutes. Fortunately, the score is still ahead.

The fans at the Brugge Road Stadium did not feel annoyed by the conceded goal, and kept singing to encourage the team, but they did not expect the conceded goal to continue.

This was originally a counterattack by Mainz. The fans were hoping for a perfect counterattack like before the end of the first half to completely defeat the opponent. Unexpectedly, the counterattack was defeated by the counterattack.

Royce and Ivan Schitz made mistakes in the frontcourt pass, Boateng broke the ball and handed over a long pass, Olić stabbed the goal in the melee in front of the goal to equalize the score!

The singing at the Brugge Road Stadium was even suppressed. They didn't know what happened to the team.

Is this a loss of character at halftime?
Klopp was very angry. He should have been more serious in the locker room to express to the players that they need to concentrate. Before halftime, Klopp was a little overwhelmed because of the easy two-goal lead at halftime. He simply asked the players to stay focused. , Then discuss the tactics of the second half of the game with the assistant coach Buvac on one side.

But for the sake of the game, in fact, spiritual encouragement may be more useful than tactics.

After all, they have already led by two goals, which shows that there is no problem with the tactics.

Still careless!

Kicking off from the middle circle, Qi Ce pursed his lips and looked at his teammates on the field. In the second half, the team underestimated the opponent, and the opponent was a strong Bundesliga team!

After scoring two goals in a row, Hamburg's morale was boosted. Even Joel, who had been sitting on the coach's bench, stood up and returned to the technical area.

The Hamburg coach did consider leaving the team at the end of the season, but anyway, if the team has a chance to reach the final, why not consider the championship!

Just like players, coaches can use championships to find themselves a better job and a higher salary!

Even if Hamburg's executives are not in harmony with him, Joel, but no one will have trouble with the champion, right?

After making up his mind, Joel glanced at Klopp next door, who was yelling at the players on the field, trying to cheer them up.

I also have to respond here.

Joel walked to the sidelines and kept shouting, while looking at the bench, he was also thinking about how to adjust the moment when he scored two goals in a row would be more beneficial, and started to move to win the game.

Klopp was very depressed. The great advantage of leading by two goals was just equalized!

Klopp watched the gradually changing situation on the field, and secretly made up his mind that no matter what the situation is in the future, he must not lose his character at halftime!
