Chapter 369 A Pot of Cold Water

After being chased by Schalke 04 to equalize with two goals in a row, the morale of the Hannover 96 players was low. They seemed a little flustered for a few minutes after the kick-off. He failed to seize the two excellent opportunities, and Zhang Yuan wasted one of the shots. He couldn't get his feet right, and under the interference of Ejiman, he directly fired the ball into the anti-aircraft gun.

The fans at the scene booed him "friendly".

Seeing that the situation was not right, Slomka changed two people in a row. Balic replaced Schmidbach, and Shahed replaced Kone. He kept shouting to the players on the field.

"Hold your breath, hold your breath, and pay attention to defense!"

With his shouts and the cheers of the fans, Hannover 96 gradually regained its footing.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan frequently sent the ball to the wing, Slomka stretched the formation a bit. After Zhang Yuan came on the field, Schalke 04 seldom used the tactics of crossing from the wing, but their few attacks were Initiated from the wing, Slomka felt that Schalke 04 could not be allowed to do this, and he also changed his marking of Zhang Yuan, instead of using two or three people to force him.

You like to dribble the ball outside, so let you dribble outside. Our defensive formation is not easy to move, and one person is enough to push you.

This kind of tactical adjustment is useful. In many cases, what a breakthrough striker like Zhang Yuan needs most is self-confidence. Zhang Yuan tried to move around in the penalty area, but failed, so he is not very confident today that he can play in the penalty area. It is also a helpless idea to go to the periphery at the beginning.

Now that Slomka is doing this, Zhang Yuan himself is not very confident about entering the penalty area, so the threat of Schalke 04 has been reduced a lot, and he can no longer get easier opportunities.

Magath saw that the situation could not be opened, and at this time he felt that Zhang Yuan was not good at this point. You are now a single arrow, and the breakthrough is not effective. You have to use your other skills, especially the running position.

Kuranyi is in a bad state and can't move, you Zhang Yuan go up and run.

Through the words passed by his teammates, Zhang Yuan turned into a running forward again. Running is not his strong point, but it is also considered a weak point now.

The two sides reached a new balance again, Hannover 96 implemented Slomka's tactics very resolutely, defending and counterattacking!
After Schalke 04 played Matip, the defensive thickness was reduced a lot. On the scene, they were still able to suppress the possession rate of Hannover 96, but the opponent got a lot of counterattack opportunities.

They also created a threat in front of Schalke 04. On the contrary, Schalke 04 has the advantage, but the pass from the side and the center are frequently intercepted by the iron wall of Hannover 96, which does not constitute too much for the opponent's goal. threaten.

Magath is powerless against such a scene, all three substitutions have been used up, personnel can no longer be adjusted, and Schalke 04 will not give up possession.

Besides, Hannover 96 is very oily, Schalke 04 gave up the ball, and they didn't rush to the backcourt. They were not willing to go forward and play positional battles. It seems that taking a point is acceptable, Schalke They robbed too hard on Ke04, and they directly kicked forward and gave up the ball. This style of play is very strange, but it maintains the stability of the defensive system to the greatest extent.

The resolute Hannover 96 finally reaped results in the 80th minute. Rakitic's pass was blocked in Schalke 04's frontcourt attack. Hannover 96 made another beautiful counterattack. Breaking through the cross, Baliqi stopped the ball 16 meters away from the middle and then half-turned and volleyed with his right foot straight to the upper left corner, 3 to 2!

That's it!Slomka waved his fist fiercely, the game was very difficult, his proud disciple almost pushed himself into the abyss, but the boys under him were very good and powerful, and they executed completely in this game He changed his tactical thinking and finally gained the lead again.

He also had some mistakes in his strategy in this game, such as marking Zhang Yuan. He didn't know Zhang Yuan's thoughts at all, but he was afraid of Zhang Yuan's power and asked his players to pinch Zhang Yuan, but the result was liberated. The other points of Schalke 04 were lost, giving Schalke 04 a chance to equalize the score.

Not to mention the Schalke 04 players on the field, even Magath off the field lost confidence at this time. There is no other reason. Hannover 96's defense is too stubborn. He has done everything he can. Players The state is not good, and Farfan's breakthrough power has dropped a lot compared to before. It is not enough to rely on Zhang Yuan alone.

Immediately afterwards, Slomka made another substitution adjustment, replacing Elsen with the Dutchman Brukink. This was a counter-positional substitution. Elsen played for more than 80 minutes. In fact, Elson had a heavier defensive task. , The running distance is large, and the physical fitness has declined. Slomka intends to replace with a new force and still maintain the strength of defense and counterattack.

It is one thing for the Schalke 04 players to lose confidence, but another thing is the attitude they show. They played very lively and bombarded Hannover 96 indiscriminately. Hannover 96 is like a rock by the sea, I stand still when the wind blows and the rain hits me.

In the 2nd minute of stoppage time, Hannover 96 once again made a desperate counterattack. Brookkin, who came off the bench, made a direct pass from the backcourt. Ya Konan countered offside and passed the ball past Neuer who rushed out of the penalty area, and then brought it to the right 18 Meters into the empty goal, 4 to 2.

The game was over at this point, Schalke 04 had no strength to come back, Zhang Yuan also muddled through on the field, unwilling to lose but helpless, the blame was only on strength.

I am afraid that no strong team will give the opponent so many counter-attack opportunities like Schalke 04, which only proves that they are not a good enough team.

Magath said after the game: "This is a basin of cold water poured on our heads, it's icy cold, I hope the boys can wake up, the championship is not so easy to win, there are still four rounds of competition , we really can’t be careless anymore!”

The mood of losing the game is not very good. Zhang Yuan can feel it when he asks for leave with Magath. Magath does not want to agree, because Zhang Yuan’s reason for asking for leave is ridiculous, and he wants to get together with the opponent’s coach.

Just hearing this truthful reason, Magath was very upset, not to mention that we just lost to the opponent, just say that I am fucking standing in front of you, did you get together with me alone? !

It is right to let you go, you are in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han!Magath finally agreed, anyway, you have to go, as you like.

Schalke 04 knows a lot about the special relationship between Zhang Yuan and Slomka. It is not surprising that Zhang Yuan did not return to Schalke 04 with the team. Neuer even wanted to go. He It was also Slomka who pulled it up with one hand, but think about Magath or forget it.

Seeing Slomka in the evening, Slomka said with a smile: "It is not easy to ask for leave today? I can imagine that Mr. Magath must be full of displeasure! He treated you very well at the post-match press conference today. Not satisfied! You are no exception!"

Zhang Yuan’s dissatisfaction with Magath at the press conference is no exception. Generally speaking, this person is strong but straightforward, and he will throw a tantrum if he is unhappy, but what does he mean by being dissatisfied with me? Anyway, I still contributed One pass and one shot helped the team equalize the score.

"Me?" Zhang Yuan pointed to his nose.

"Well, he thinks you are not smart enough in running!" Slomka said bluntly. He didn't mean to say anything wrong with Magath, but because Zhang Yuan was no longer in Schalke 04. The reason? He also knew that he and Magath were not so in tune. In addition, he thought that what Magath said was true, and he said it through Magath's mouth to give Zhang Yuan some advice.

After listening to Slomka's report, Zhang Yuan fell into silence. This was not nonsense. He recalled his running position on the court, and there were indeed some problems.

To be honest, he has seen a lot of running positions of top center forwards before, but in actual operation, he improved very fast in this area last year, because Rutten and others used him as a single forward, and you have to be a single forward. Learn to move, if you don't know how to move, you can't just rely on breakthroughs.

Coming to the second striker position given to him by Magath this year, he actually still needs to move. In the first half, due to his personal reasons, he was more active in his style of play. In the second half, he was ready, but Magath Due to the requirements of grades, Te let go of his freedom intentionally or unintentionally.

As a result, his progress in running positions is somewhat, but by no means as prominent as last season, rather than Eshkohn's evaluation of him, thinking that he has grown a lot.
