Chapter 174 Dragon Kingdom Football also had wisdom
"...?"
"...?"
"...?"
Question marks popped up on the heads of the Borussia players.
The corner kick hadn't been taken yet, so why did the Korean attack with the ball?
But in this flash of lightning, Son Heung-min had already reached the edge of the small penalty area.
Borussia's two central defenders didn't care and pounced directly on him.
But then the back will be empty.
Son Heung-min directly picked up the ball and passed the two central defenders, as well as Ter Stegen, who was moving to the front point.
Kjaer in front of the goal didn't even take off. He touched the ball gently with his head and headed it into Borussia's goal.
In an instant, the entire Prussia Park stadium became dead silent.
Everyone looked at what was happening in the stadium in disbelief, while the Borussia players on the field looked at the referee at a loss.
A crisp whistle sounded, and the referee pointed his finger at the center circle. The goal was valid!
Kjaer, the arrogant centre-back, roared excitedly, turned around and rushed out of the field to celebrate.
Behind him were a group of Hamburg players who ran over equally excitedly.
The Borussia players surrounded the referee:
"Referee, how can this ball be counted?"
"Yes, isn't he going to take a corner kick?"
"The ball has not even been released. How can they, No. 11, bring the ball into our penalty area?"
"Is this a big joke, sir?..."
The referee explained calmly: "There is no problem with the ball! Their No. 10 kicked the ball out of the corner flag area in the first shot, which means that the game has resumed from the dead ball state! Then No. 11 took the ball
It is in line with the rules of the competition to attack with the ball again!"
On the sidelines, Monchengladbach's head coach Favre was watching the video replay with his assistant coaches, while Pan Yi from Hamburg had already rushed towards his players and celebrated passionately with them!
This corner kick tactic is of course carefully designed.
It’s even based on the Dragon Kingdom team!
It was an international football friendly match between the Dragon Kingdom and Costa Rica in 2005. When Zhao Junzhe was about to take a corner kick, he suddenly signaled his teammates to come over and kick the ball out of the corner flag area pretending to be unintentional.
After that, Zhao Junzhe walked away slowly as if nothing had happened, but in fact when he left, the Dragon Kingdom team's corner kick had already been taken.
The Costa Rican team members were deceived by Zhao Junzhe's superb acting skills.
Then Sun Xiang walked to the corner kick position. When the opponents thought that a substitution was coming, Sun Xiang accelerated the ball and passed the ball. Zhang Yaokun scored directly, catching Costa Rica off guard.
This goal can also be said to be the wisdom of Longguo football at that time, and the players' tactical execution on the field was also very strong.
Pan Yi transplanted this tactic into this game and unexpectedly achieved success!
Of course, Pan Yi was a little worried before the referee blew the whistle that the goal was valid.
After all, some more serious referees may think that such a serve is against the rules...
In a match between Manchester United and Chelsea in 2009, Rooney and Giggs "tributed" the corner kick tactic of the Dragons. As a result, Ronaldo scored with a header from Giggs' pass, but the penalty was ruled invalid.
Fortunately, Hamburg did not encounter such a problem today and now has a two-goal lead in the away game!
When the referee signaled the Gladbach players to stay away from him and started to warn him about yellow cards, the entire Prussia Park stadium was filled with boos.
Of course, there were also faint cheers from Hamburg fans.
"This goal really impressed us!"
"So witty! So realistic! I dare say that if these players in Hamburg acted instead of playing football, they would definitely win Oscars for acting!"
"The Borussia players were completely stunned, but after reprimanding to no avail, they could only accept this bitter result."
"Especially Xhaka, he was obviously stunned when Son Heung-min was dribbling the ball forward, and he didn't immediately block it, which ultimately led to such a strange goal."
"Kjaer's header is his first goal in the game in more than a year. This also repays Pan Yi's trust in him!"
"At the same time, we can also see that all the coaches and players in Hamburg are now hugging each other to celebrate the goal. This is definitely the best manifestation of the affection between them!..."
After the game restarted, Borussia had to press out hard.
After all, we are already two goals behind, so there is no point in staying behind anymore.
Hamburg also "cooperated" and moved its front back a bit.
After all, keeping the opponent's formation very flat is actually detrimental to our own offense.
The opponent's players are stationed in a dense position, and the space between them is small. There is not enough space for dribbling or passing.
But since Borussia now wants to go out, Hamburg will let them take two steps, and take two steps if nothing happens.
However, this "two steps" also has limitations.
Of course, Hamburg did not retreat with all its personnel and set up buses in front of its own penalty area. This is completely unnecessary.
They retreated, but not completely.
Hamburg is currently implementing a flexible, multi-layered defense, which arranges the strangulation area between the center line and the front edge of its own thirty-meter area.
There, it's Casemiro and Makoto Hasebe who run and cover a wide area, while De Bruyne provides support from the front.
Coupled with the pressing pressure from the front trident, this made Hamburg's entire defense very meticulous.
As soon as they get the ball, Hamburg resolutely moves to both wings and counterattacks fast and hard.
As a result, Borussia's counterattack wave after wave hit the Great Steel Wall built by Hamburg, and failed every time.
After conceding two somewhat inexplicable set pieces at the beginning, Borussia Monchengladbach's morale and fighting spirit were greatly affected. However, such a counterattack could not pose a sufficient threat to Hamburg, which made the Borussia players even more worried.
No bottom.
As a result, the Borussia players began to feel a little discouraged, and sometimes their feet were not very agile.
At the end of the first half, Hamburg once again completed a steal in the middle of the midfield.
Hasebe Makoto handed the ball to De Bruyne, and Wu Lei also ran quickly on the right.
Borussia left-back Daems quickly followed up.
Wu Lei has been running non-stop in this game, which has taken a lot of energy from the Belgian full-back, but he has to run along.
Don't run away, Wu Lei will break through and show you right away!
But this time, Wu Lei did not go to the bottom line, but ran sideways to the middle.
When Da Ames followed Wu Lei and ran over, a large gap on the side road was revealed.
De Bruyne still chose to pass the ball!
The ball fell into the open space.
Just when the Borussia players felt a little confused, wondering if the opponent's core midfielder had made a rare passing error, they saw a figure appear like lightning.
This figure quickly controlled the ball, then quickly penetrated into the penalty area and fired directly at the goal.
The ball flew out with lightning speed and went straight into the lower right corner of the goal.
Ter Stegen was helpless against such a fast shot.
"The ball goes in again!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Oh my god, the score has reached three to zero!"
“Hamburg wins again!”
"The goal was scored by Hamburg's Spanish full-back Carvajal. He scored a goal for the team with a shot from behind!"
