Chapter 30: The battle that decides the fate (2)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 As the start time approached, the players from both sides came to the center of the court and looked at each other. The expressions of the Tubingen team were relatively relaxed, while the Hoffenheim players were more excited. They may think that as long as they win this game,

You’ve basically got the championship, right?

They also won all four rounds. Hoffenheim's performance was extremely stable, while Tübingen's performance was getting worse and worse. No wonder the players' confidence was inflated.

However, Flick's performance was surprising. As soon as the game started, Hoffenheim retreated completely and launched a defensive counterattack. Although there was some dissatisfaction seen on the faces of Hoffenheim's players, no one objected to the main goal.

The coach’s tactical arrangements.

Wang Ai and Ozil were both on the court. Wang Ai glanced at the sidelines in surprise, while Flick stared seriously at the court with his hands in his coat pockets.

"What is this guy thinking? Has our deception tactics been exposed?"

Wang Ai was pondering and observing the situation on the field. Five minutes later, Wang Ai basically confirmed that Flick should not have seen through the Tübingen Youth's strategy, but he could clearly see the major difference between the Tübingen Youth and the Hoffenheim team.

The Tübingen youth team's defense is better, conceding only one goal in four games, while Hoffenheim has conceded seven. If they play against Tübingen, they are likely to be blocked outside the gate, and our team

The defense line cannot be trusted, but it is likely to be penetrated by the opponent.

In order to seek victory, Flick consciously strengthened the density of personnel to defend. However, Tubingen Youth's defense line is old, small, and not very fast. As long as Tubingen is attracted out, the team's young and powerful players can be used.

The forwards counterattacked and used their speed to break through Tübingen's defense.

This kind of tactics of Hoffenheim team is far from Tübingen's tactical idea. Before the game, I never expected that Hoffenheim would actually launch a defensive counterattack against Tübingen who was in "poor" condition.

But this tactic is very effective. After testing each other in the opening minutes, Hoffenheim decisively showed its fangs: In the 11th minute, Hoffenheim launched an attack in the backcourt and found the 442 formation with a long pass.

At the junction of the midfield and the backcourt, Boateng struggled to catch up, but was unable to shorten the distance quickly. Hoffenheim's two forwards plunged into Tübingen's backcourt like two arrows, causing a big mess. In the end, it was still

The attack was ruined by Favre's shovel.

After that, Hoffenheim's tactics frequently created threats.

The speed of forward players, whether it is body, strength or pure speed, makes it very difficult for Mertesacker. He often only has a chance to take a shot, and it is easy to intercept it. If he cannot intercept it, he can only fall behind.

In the first twenty minutes, although it was Tübingen pressing Hoffenheim, the actual attack effect was completely opposite. Even Wang Ai had to retreat to help defend, but his weight was too light.

Compared with the forward players who rushed up and weighed more than 180 kilograms, Wang Ai flew away at the first touch and could only help defend.

It's not that Wang Ai can't change the result of the game with his personal ability. For these amateur players with rough skills, Wang Ai's technical advantage is too great. But Wang Ai can't do this. This is different from national team competitions, such as the Asian Youth Championship.

It's just five or six games, and it will take another year to play again. Even if you rely on Wang Ai, other players will need a whole year to grow. But this is not possible in a professional team, where there is one game a week or even double games a week.

Under such circumstances, it is a very terrible phenomenon to become dependent on a certain team member. It will not only hinder the growth of other team members, but also put too much pressure on Wang Ai. It is certain that he will be targeted, and the burden on his body will be too great.

Wang Ai doesn't want to fight to the death with these amateur players, so he has been working hard to adjust the team's condition, while he is willing to provide assists.

But in such a crucial event like today's game with Hoffenheim, Wang Ai doesn't mind competing.

Just when Wang Ai was about to take the risk to go to the forward line, Favre came to Wang Ai and said a few words in a low voice: "I think Pell and Boateng should be allowed to switch positions."

"You mean, let Pell be responsible for the first interception and attack dispatch in the midfield, avoid the shortcomings of slow running, and let Boateng have more time and space in the back line to defend against the rapid impact of the opponent's forward?" Wang

Ai understood instantly.

Favre gave a thumbs up and Wang Ai nodded. The two found Mordessack and Boateng in the front and backcourt respectively, and quietly completed the change of positions. Hoffenheim head coach Flick did not notice Tubingen on the sidelines.

The young man's position changes on the field. He is still not used to the situation where the opponent does not have a head coach. The team's performance in the first twenty minutes made Flick very satisfied. He studied this method for a long time before the game, and the effect was quite good.

Not bad, boss Hope should be satisfied now, right?

However, twenty minutes later, the situation on the field began to change. Hoffenheim's counterattacks often faced the interception of a big man with excellent consciousness, height and long legs, just before they got the ball.

, immediately formed an attack on Hoffenheim after the interception. And even if the big man cannot intercept, the forward will hit the opponent's defense line with the ball at high speed, and a bearded barbarian will intercept and harass him at high speed.

The forward's ability to hold the ball is average, and his shooting skills are not very good. Under frequent and high-intensity harassment, his shots are often outrageous.

It seems that our team's tactics are not working well?

Flick looked at Tübingen's midfield and backcourt in surprise, and hurriedly took out the opponent's formation layout from his pocket. After looking at it for a while, he discovered this hidden change of positions.

"The opponent's offensive is getting more and more powerful, what should we do?" Flick bit his thumb nervously, but could not think of a way. Before the game, he thought his tactical arrangement was perfect, and he did not expect a

A team without a head coach can adjust so quickly.

However, the game doesn't care whether he is anxious or scared.

As mentioned above, Mertesacker's interception ability in the midfield is very scary, especially when targeting the opponent's less fast forward players who have just started.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Mertesacker intercepted another one. The tall man had a very good perspective. He saw Allison raising his hand to ask for the ball, and also saw Ozil waiting for the pass on the left front, and even saw King Wang.

Ai Zai sneakily stood on the same line as the opponent's central defender, right there!

Mertesacker made a quick long pass, crossing the back line between Wang Ai and the Hoffenheim defender. Wang Ai, who had already been prepared, started immediately and jumped up to meet the ball, using his right foot in mid-air.

The bow padded the football, and the football instantly changed direction and speed. After Wang Ai's right foot landed, the football just slipped into the air in front of the left side of his body, and Wang Ai's left foot had already been raised.

Half turned around and drew a big arc!

At this time, Wang Ai had just stepped into the penalty area. The goalkeeper felt that the opponent player in front of him jumped up and passed the ball. Then, the football quickly zoomed in front of him. He only had time to turn his eyes. When the football entered the net, he

He reacted with his neck stiffly, staring at the football stiffly, unable to believe that this scene was happening.

The rabbit rises and the falcon falls!
