Adhering to the tactical idea of "making it difficult for the Madrid Pirates", the Blue and White Munich played more aggressively in the second half.
This kind of aggressiveness surprised many people. Is this something that the Bundesliga overlord can do?
In the minds of many people, as the overlord of a national league and a top European club, it should have the demeanor of a master.
How could they lower themselves and fight with the Madrid Pirates in every corner of the stadium like the mid- and lower-tier teams?
But that's what blue and white Munich is.
Not to mention blue and white Munich.
In fact, the same is true for the Kings of Madrid, a top giant with great combat effectiveness.
After all, their honors are not earned by "aristocratic temperament, elegant and gentlemanly demeanor".
The Madrid Pirates also have ways to deal with the crazy pressing of the Blue and White Munich.
Pass control and pressing seem to be a pair of old enemies, mutually reinforcing each other.
Facing a press, it requires a high degree of tacit cooperation, but it also requires a high level of personal ability of the players.
Because sometimes, when the player with the ball is really forced into a dead end and has no way to pass the football, he has to rely on the personal ability of the player with the ball to pick the ball out.
Maxi Carey is such a player with outstanding personal abilities.
However, the two serious injuries did bring some shadows deep inside his heart.
Therefore, it cannot be wrong that Hantcheck arranged for players to surround Maxi Carey.
But this time Kyrie's performance in facing the press was a little beyond Hantcek's expectations.
※※※
Martin Lozada came up to press his former teammate Carey, who faced his pressing and dunked the ball from his left foot to his right foot.
At the same time, the body steps back and then uses the right foot to pull the football back.
Losada pressed forward step by step and continuously took the ball.
The first two attempts were missed, and the third time when Carey dunked the ball to his left foot, Losada was too slow and kicked Carey's right foot.
The latter immediately screamed and fell to the ground.
The referee's whistle also sounded.
Losada fouled.
Because he had been a teammate before, Losada was relatively polite. When he saw Carey fall to the ground, he leaned over and patted him, then stretched out his hand to pull Carey up.
The Madrid Pirates fans in the stands did not boo Losada, who once played for Pirates, and even applauded Losada's friendly gesture.
Kaili was pulled up by Losada without saying anything. The two parties patted each other and said goodbye.
Not long after, Kyrie was pulled to the ground by Torey Weier while picking up the ball in midfield.
The referee once again called a foul on the Blue and White Munich player.
This time Welco did not receive the same treatment as Losada because he had never played for Pirates of Madrid. He committed a foul and was booed by the Pirates fans in the stands.
However, the Blue and White Munich coach Hantcek on the sidelines was not impressed.
He even applauded Weier and praised him for his foul.
He just wanted to use such tactics to frequently interrupt the Madrid Pirates' passing rhythm, preventing them from running the football smoothly.
Now both Martin Losada and Torey Weier have completed the tasks they were given very well.
Of course, they should be encouraged and praised for their good work.
But Hantcek soon realized something was wrong.
※※※
When Hantcek thought about it, Maxi Carey, who had been seriously injured twice in a row, should have been afraid when facing an aggressive defense, made mistakes and gave up the ball.
But Kyrie not only did not feel afraid, but also frequently raised his hand to ask for the ball.
When he received the ball again, Munich's defensive midfielder Van der Stern rushed up from behind to defend him, while Martin Lozada and Torey Weier also rushed from different directions.
They want to trap Kaili in a circle.
If the movement is slightly larger and puts more pressure on him, he will naturally lose the ball.
Kyrie was indeed cut off from the passing route immediately, and he could only rely on his own personal skills to seek a breakthrough.
He first blocked Van der Stern with his body, then faced Martin Lozada who came up to steal the ball, and gently moved the football to the left with his right foot, trying to break through from the left.
But there's Torey Weier on the left.
When the latter sees the ball coming, he will stretch out his feet to grab the ball...
But the football was pulled back by Maxi Carey's left foot!
While pulling back, Kyrie stepped on the football and completed a turn, from facing Weier to turning his back to Weier. He directly bumped into Weier who rushed forward with his body to protect the ball.
When Vanderstern saw that Weier missed, he immediately came up to make up the defense.
He stood in front of Kaili and did not make a move easily. He just wanted to further reduce Kaili's space for movement.
In doing so, he is also unwilling to commit a foul easily.
Now the three of them are almost close to Kaili.
But I saw Kyrie suddenly pick up the football with his right foot!
The football passed by Vanderstern, and at the same time Kyrie himself went around from the other side of Vanderstern. He wanted to pass the ball!
Vanderstern quickly opened his arms slightly to block him.
Carey bumped into his arm, lost his balance and fell to the ground.
When he fell to the ground, Carey screamed and covered his heart with his hand, as if Vanderstern's hand hit his heart...
The referee's whistle and the boos from the stands sounded almost simultaneously.
"This is an obvious tactical foul. Don't you give me a card?" Spanish commentator Sanchez asked loudly amidst huge boos at the scene.
Van der Stern was only given a verbal warning by the referee after a foul in the first half of the game and was not given a card.
This made Madrid Pirates supporters unhappy.
As the main defensive midfielder of Blue and White Munich, there is a big difference between whether Van der Stern has cards or not, which will directly affect his performance in the next game and the results of the two teams.
Many Madrid Pirates fans discussed during the halftime break and believed that the reason why the Blue and White Munich were able to equalize the score in the first half had a lot to do with Van der Stern's lack of yellow cards and his unscrupulous behavior.
Now van der Stern fouls Maxi Carey again, and it's obviously intentional.
It would be really unjustifiable if the referee doesn't play any more cards.
So amid huge boos, the referee finally showed Van der Stern a yellow card.
Vanderstern felt aggrieved: "I did touch him, but I didn't make him fall...and I didn't hit him in the heart!"
He thought Maxi Carey was diving.
Hantcek also expressed dissatisfaction with the yellow card on the sidelines. He opened his arms and protested loudly to the fourth official.
Han Shuyu saw this scene and said to Li Qingliang next to her: "I think you can still welcome Hantcek home at home simply because the Pirates and Blue and White Munich have never met before..."
Li Qingliang did not answer.
I don't know how to answer either.
So just stay silent.

The yellow card received by the main defensive midfielder Van der Stern did have an impact on the game.
As a Dutch international, he had shown no mercy to national team seniors like Maxi Carey before.
But now he was forced to show mercy.
Because he is afraid of getting stuck again.
If you target Kyrie alone in a short period of time, he is likely to get another yellow card, and then two yellow cards will turn into one red, and he will be off the field directly!
Only then did Hantcheck understand what Kyrie was going to do. In response to the "foul tactics" of the Blue and White Munich side, he deliberately "created foul tactics"...
Logically speaking, this is a very dangerous approach.
After all, always putting yourself in dangerous situations may lead to injury.
But what Hantcheck saw was Maxi Carey screaming fiercely, falling horribly, and doing nothing...
He always rolls on the ground and lies there for a long time before getting up again.
He didn't look injured.
But you want to say he faked it...
Not really.
It was indeed a foul committed by a Blue and White Munich player that caused him to fall to the ground...
But this degree is very subtle.
Hantcek frowned when he saw it. The Maxi Carey I coached before was not like this!
Who the hell did he learn this from?
Not long after, Hu Lai shouted and fell to the ground while catching the ball in the frontcourt.
The referee blew the whistle again, and the stands booed loudly.
Blue and White Munich center back Eswein spread his hands with a look of helplessness on his face.
He felt that he did not commit a foul, but the referee did not think so.
Hu Lai was sitting on the ground and talking to him...
Seeing that he was still chatting leisurely, you knew that even if Eswein had committed a foul just now, it was definitely not serious.
But it happened to be a foul according to the rules, and it was at the Pirates' home court. As soon as Hulay fell to the ground, boos broke out in the stands, which put a lot of pressure on the referee.
So the referee blew it.
Hantcek figured it out, Maxi Carey learned it from Hu Lai.
Eswein's foul caused Hantcek to rush to the sideline again, but instead of protesting loudly, he spread his hands to express his dissatisfaction, but he was more helpless.
Because when you face a bitch, your anger may be encouragement and praise for him.
