Chapter 96 Pass Timing
It is more difficult for Zhang Yuan to adapt to Stuttgart. It is a bit difficult to defend. The zone defense system of the Bundesliga team is really not comparable to that of the Serie A team. It is undoubtedly a bit difficult, because the space in the area is small, and it takes time to catch the ball. The opponent can quickly complete two or three people to double-team Zhang Yuan, making Zhang Yuan unable to make a breakthrough comfortably.

However, the game was originally a process of catching the opponent's mistakes and creating opportunities for himself. In the 34th minute, Jones stole the ball from Basturk and passed it to Rakitic. Rakitic controlled the ball and passed it to Zhengyou. Zhang Yuan in the middle, after Zhang Yuan got the ball, several defenders of Stuttgart contracted interestingly to form a zone defense, whoever defended, defended Zhang Yuan's breakthrough space, as for Kuranyi, it was fine to have someone staring at it, as long as there was a line behind Can maintain a line, Zhang Yuan pass the ball is offside.

Zhang Yuan didn't pass the ball, but controlled the ball and seemed to want to single out Stuttgart's defense, but when Stuttgart shrank, Zhang Yuan passed the ball, not to Kuranyi, who was trying to go to the Stuttgart defense line. The penalty area was charged and was offside, but Zhang Yuan passed a half-high ball to the penalty area on the right. Who would be there?

It was Asamoah who sprinted into the penalty area. Asamoah was originally guarded by Stuttgart's left back Hilbert, but Hilbert was young and inexperienced. He played lively in the middle, so he glanced at the middle , wanted to check the situation and keep a good line with his teammates. Asamoah originally came from the midfield and ran to Hilbert. He saw Zhang Yuan stop the ball and slowed down himself. Asamoah immediately started to rush into the penalty area from Hilbert's side. He still had a tacit understanding. Regardless of whether Zhang Yuan passed the pass or not, he would rush into the penalty area. Chasing, one step slower, Asamoah volleyed directly, but the ball was a bit straight, and Schaefer saved it out of the baseline.

Off the court, Slomka said to the assistant coach Jevedic next to him: "The ball was passed beautifully, the timing was well chosen, and there was an opportunity after one pass."

Jevedic said with a smile: "During this period of training, Zhang Yuan has changed a lot!"

"Train him well and he will be a blockbuster!" Slomka said.

Zhang Yuan's debut in the Bundesliga has been a blockbuster, but Slomka doesn't think so. At least he thinks that Zhang Yuan can be more threatening. He wants to train Zhang Yuan to be an all-round striker.

Asamoah was shoveled to the ground by Hilbert after a shot. After missing the opportunity, he got up from the grass and gave a thumbs up to Zhang Yuan in the middle. Zhang Yuan also gave him a thumbs up. , Zhang Yuan can't speak German now, he can only speak a few simple words. It's not very convenient to communicate on the court. He can only use gestures to communicate with his teammates. Those who can speak English can still communicate.

Duan from the sports station said: "Zhang Yuan passed the ball beautifully, but it's a pity that Asamoah's last shot was so right!"

Tao said: "Actually, I don't know Zhang Yuan very well, but he impressed me very much in this game. He was very fast and flexible. This pass also fully demonstrated his spirituality. He is really a good player. I dare not I believe I’m only 18 now, and I haven’t played professional football before.” He admitted in a TV show that he really didn’t know Zhang Yuan.

"Actually, Zhang Yuan is only 17 years old now, and he turned 5 in May this year. He has only been in contact with professional football for a year and a half, but his start is quite good. He also stayed for half a season, presumably this is the reason why he improved faster!" Duan said.

What he said is very reasonable. Zhang Yuan is far from being comparable to when he was studying. He has learned a lot in Italy for a year and a half, but he has only been in Germany for a month. He has gained a lot, the most important thing is passing the ball. In terms of choice, Rimini Arcori needs him to fight alone in the frontcourt, Inter Milan does not need him to create opportunities, but to seize opportunities, so although Mancini is not satisfied with Zhang Yuan's pass, he is not. pointed it out to him.

When Zhang Yuan came to Schalke 04, Slomka supported him not only to create opportunities, but also to score.

What is the fastest way to create a scoring chance in football?It is not a dribbling breakthrough but a pass, so Slomka took the trouble to teach Zhang Yuan to pass the ball and choose the timing of the pass.

Judging from the first few 10 minutes of the game, Zhang Yuan was a headache for the opponent. He could pass and shoot suddenly. But it's enough for Stuttgart's defense to be nervous.

Schalke 04 is far from being a threat by Zhang Yuan alone. Rakitic in the midfield is also very threatening. Maybe it is because he and Zhang Yuan are young people. The cooperation between the two is tacit. Rakitic's length The passes are excellent, and under his leadership, the Schalke 04 midfielder still has a faint advantage in the midfield competition with Stuttgart.There is also Kuranyi in the frontcourt. This center has no doubts about his strength. Any neglect may cause Kuranyi to deal a fatal blow.

In the remaining ten minutes, Schalke 04 really had two excellent opportunities, but they failed to grasp them, so the first half ended with Schalke 04 leading by one goal at home.

Back in the locker room, Slomka asked Zhang Yuan to choose to pass the ball more in the second half, but also asked him to control the rhythm in the frontcourt. In the second half, the opponent must strengthen the pressure on Zhang Yuan. Choose carefully whether to pass or pass.Slomka's arrangement is not so much an arrangement but actually a reminder that Zhang Yuan played well in the first half, but the intensity of the opponent's defense will be different in the second half. You have to take it easy, kid, and know how to play.

In the second half, Stuttgart really changed their marking tactics against Zhang Yuan. It was not a tactic, but a zone marking against Zhang Yuan, because Zhang Yuan's movement was very erratic, and man marking was a bit inapplicable, mainly because of the change in defensive strength.Stuttgart also fouled Zhang Yuan in the first half, but it was relatively mild. However, in the second half, Aminfei obviously strengthened the defense against Zhang Yuan. Stuttgart players always made small moves, relying on their strong bodies to squeeze Zhang Yuan.

However, under the reminder of Slomka, Zhang Yuan had already prepared for this method. He is now about 1.8 meters tall. Not afraid of the opponent's strength-based defense.

But this time he was wrong. Stuttgart saw Zhang Yuan protecting the ball like a king, okay, just foul it!At the beginning of the second half, Zhang Yuan retreated deeply, and the opponent fouled frequently. Such long-distance free kicks were not threatening and useless, and the opponent's foul was not very serious. The referee did not even give a yellow card. Zhang Yuan did it several times. They all signaled to the referee that it's time for a yellow card!The referee shook his finger "NO, NO", is this our fucking home game?

The boos at the scene showed that this was Schalke 04's home court, but the referee had no choice but to punish him, so the next time the opponent fouled again, he would lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. As the captain, Bolton naturally expressed his emotions to the referee. Negotiation, buddy, look at our team members have been injured by the other party, why don't we give cards?

Finally, Stuttgart's full-back Baker finally got a yellow card on Zhang Yuan. It doesn't matter. Stuttgart has replaced another person. This person is Khedira. He is three years older than Zhang Yuan. Stuttgart's youth training. Stuttgart played in the first team. This season is his second year in the Bundesliga. Let him watch Zhang Yuan. To be honest, he is full of fighting spirit in his heart. He is also a young man. What's the matter with you kid showing off in our half? I won't give you some Lesson you don't know how good I am.

Zhang Yuan retreated to catch the ball and was violated by the opponent many times. He also thought that it would be impossible to continue like this!After thinking about it for a while, he realized that he would not retreat anymore, and just stare at the front line, get closer to your goal, and see if you still dare to foul.

He was really at the front, and gestured with Kuranyi, indicating that our partner should play a double striker. Kuranyi leaned to the right, and Zhang Yuan himself leaned to the left. Anyway, he moved up and down with the opponent's defense line.

With Zhang Yuan being nailed to death, Schalke 04's offense was contained to a certain extent, to a certain extent, not absolutely. In addition to Zhang Yuan, there were Kuranyi and Asamoah on the front line. The strength of the two is not weak, and they are both dangerous. The other party just watched Zhang Yuan jump more vigorously in the first half, and strengthened his defense in the second half. As a result, Zhang Yuan misfired, and Kuranyi and Asamo over there Ah came alive again.

Kuranyi is 1.9 meters tall and has excellent header skills. Now that Zhang Yuan is restricted, Schalke 04 puts the attack point on Kuranyi again, frequently passing high-altitude balls to Kuranyi. Kuranyi serves as a frontcourt player Fulcrum, Zhang Yuan and Asamoah all moved closer to him, swimming around him.

In the 65th minute, the opportunity came. Bolton cut off Hitzlsperger's through ball and passed it to Rakitic. The ball, this is an opportunity to counterattack, Kuranyi has already rushed forward, Zhang Yuan is also forward, but this time he is not sprinting fast, after passing the top of Stuttgart's defense, Kuranyi will catch the ball One-handed, Zhang Yuan only needs to look for opportunities to make up shots in the penalty area. Running too fast may not be a good thing, so he didn't use his fastest speed to rush to the penalty area.

Rakitic passed the ball a little too fast, and Kuranyi couldn't catch up, and it was a high ball. When he took off, Schaefer also made a fist and hit the ball over Kuranyi's head out of the penalty area. , Zhang Yuan, who was not the fastest runner, picked up this bargain, and the ball happened to be able to volley, but unfortunately he failed to volley the ball, because Khedira, who returned to the defense, directly knocked him to the ground.

The Schalke 04 players surrounded the referee, thinking that the ball should be a red card for Khedira, and intentionally maliciously charged someone. Look, Zhang Yuan was lying on the ground and clutching his waist.
