During the halftime break, Funk fully praised the Rostock players for their outstanding performance in the first half.
To be honest, being able to lead Paderborn, who are fifth in the standings, in an away game was something that even Fink did not expect. In this game, he thought it would be good if he could take away 1 point from the away game, so his pre-match tactics were
The defensive counterattack can be seen from the 4-5-1 formation.
Soon, the referee on duty blew the whistle to start the second half.
As soon as the game started, Paderborn's players launched a violent offensive. For a while, the Rostock goal was filled with chaos and chaos.
Moreover, Paderborn's head coach has thoroughly studied Li Yi's strengths and weaknesses. When Paderborn attacked in the second half, he quickly hit the ball against Li Yi and did not engage in one-on-one confrontation with Li Yi at all.
Li Yi's defensive analysis was at a loss for a while.
Paderborn even left three defensive players in the defense. They were all tall, fast and smart, which weakened Li Yi's long pass counterattack to the extreme. This was not the end, Schubert also arranged
Shupan kept an eye on Li Yi throughout the game.

The coaches of both teams standing on the sidelines directing the game also had different expressions.
Rostock's coach Fink looks calm and composed. Not to mention the current score lead on the field, the defensive organization is also pretty good. Coupled with Valcke's stable performance, although it seems that Paderborn's offensive is very fierce.
, but the actual threat is not very great.
Paderborn's coach Andre Schubert is not as relaxed as Fink. Paderborn has achieved a beautiful 4-game winning streak before and is only 3 points away from St. Pauli, who is third in the standings.
The gap, so as long as this game is successfully won, Paderborn will successfully join the promotion team. However, the current situation on the field is really not optimistic. Of course, what Fink can see, he can also see it.
The actual threat from Deborn's offense was not great. He couldn't help but frown. After thinking about it, Schubert replaced a defender and put Turkish winger Serkan Juvenishik on the court.
Since the start of the second half, Li Yi has also encountered unprecedented difficulties.
In the past, he always came on as a substitute at the last moment. At that time, the opponent's coach had already played all the cards, or Li Yi broke out too suddenly and the opponent coach had no time to adjust, so Li Yi's performance seemed to be very dazzling.
But in this game, Li Yi was the starter. He performed well in the first half, but he received special treatment from the opponent in the second half.
When attacking, the opponent didn't give Li Yi a one-on-one chance at all, and always turned the ball away in advance; when defending, the opponent's midfielder Shu Pan actually turned into a candy, following Li Yi anytime and anywhere, constantly
He used his strong body to push Li Yi, and even if it was a foul, he would not let Li Yi get the ball comfortably. As a result, Rostock's most deadly weapon - Li Yi, completely lost its threat in the offense.
As a result, Rostock fell into endless passivity and could only be beaten without being able to fight back.
But I don’t know if God is favoring Rostock, where Li Yi is playing, in this game. Paderborn, who played a 4-forward tactic in the second half, had 3 goals blocked by Rostock’s goal post. Look at Paderborn
The commentary shows how helpless they are today.
"The best thing about Rostock in this game is not their players on the field, but the goalpost next to Valcke. He has saved our must-goals three times today!"
————
Shupan, who was ordered by the coach to stay close to Li Yi at all times, was completely tragic in the second half. After Li Yi saw that he could not contribute to the team on both ends of the offense and defense, Li Yi simply took Shupan to the garden full-time in the second half.
He kept running on the court, and Shupan, who was always famous for his running ability in the second division of Bundesliga, was completely overwhelmed by Li Yi's abnormal physical fitness. In the past few minutes, he could no longer interfere with Li Yi.
Soon, the game reached the 87th minute of the second half, and both sides had used up their substitution quotas. Li Yi looked at Shu Pan, who was breathing heavily beside him, and smiled knowingly.
After seeing that Shupan was completely useless on the court, Li Yi began to observe the situation on the court. At this time, Paderborn left winger Brandy was picking up the ball on the left wing. Facing the defense of two defenders of his own side, there was no chance that
He took the ball slowly without any fear.
Li Yi, who analyzed this data and concluded that "Brandy's chance of crossing the line is 70%" accelerated and ran toward his penalty area.
As expected from Li Yi's analysis, Brandi made several fake moves on the left side of the penalty area, successfully passed two defensive players, came to the bottom line, and passed the ball to the penalty area with a horizontal knock.
For Rostock's goal, right center back Sebastian also pulled out to defend Brandy on the wing, so a gap suddenly appeared in the middle of the penalty area. Paderborn center Klose [not Klose from the German national team]
】 Alertly appeared in this gap, swung his feet on the line of the small penalty area, and prepared to hit the goal with a sideways volley.
But the moment Krauser shot the ball, Li Yi appeared in front of him like a ghost. With a sliding tackle, Krauser's shot was blocked from the baseline.
Unguarded, facing a mostly empty goal, and in a small penalty area, these three conditions combined, so the moment Krauser shot, Krauser and the Paderborn coach were already ready to celebrate the goal.
However, they did not expect that this inevitable goal was blocked by Li Yi who "disappeared" in the second half. Both of them stopped mid-celebration and put their hands on their heads.
Schubert, who originally wanted to blame Shupan for not keeping track of people, was shocked when he saw Shupan on the field like a puddle of mud! In the second half, Li Yi went to the garden with Shupan and disappeared from everyone's sight, which made him
The head coach didn't know what happened between the two people, but after seeing Shupan's current state, Schubert had a rough guess. Like Fink, Schubert was also shocked. He didn't expect Li Yi
That small body was actually able to "run to death" Shu Pan, who was unable to escape.
"tmd, is Chachhuber SB? Such a good player, he actually played for Rostock for the first time today. It would be great if that so-and-so, No. 87, was in my team. I firmly believe that if we have him, we will
It can definitely be upgraded." Schubert couldn't help but sigh.
——————————
Okay, without further ado, let's get back to the field.
Seeing that Li Yi actually saved the team at a critical moment, Finke hesitated for a long time in the second half and finally chose not to replace Li Yi. He jumped up excitedly. Li Yi proved to Finke with his performance that keeping him on the court is a good idea.
The right choice.
Sebastian also ran over excitedly and hugged Li Yi. If the ball just caused a goal, he could not shirk his responsibility. He gave up his defensive position and went to flank the opponent's wide player. He was caught by the opponent's wing player.
The passer passed easily and passed the ball to where it should have been. Fortunately, Li Yi appeared there in time, so Sebastian couldn't restrain his excitement and hugged Li Yi.
Because the inevitable goal was eliminated by Rostock, Paderborn's determination to win was slightly shaken. Rostock was different. After the successful defense, the whole team's morale was greatly shaken and they successfully defended the remaining few minutes.
In the end, the game ended with the score fixed at 2-1. Rostock won the away game. Li Yi played the most important role in this game. He initiated both of Rostock's two goals. He also resolved the opponent's must-goal at the last moment.
He tried his best to keep his own goal. So although he disappeared for a while in the second half, Li Yi was still named the best player of the game.
After winning the first victory in the second half of the game, Rostock successfully improved its record to 4 wins, 9 draws and 13 losses, accumulating 21 points. It is 5 points behind the red and white Allen who drew this round, ranking fourth from the bottom in the standings.
Eintracht Frankfurt's 9 points finally brought a glimmer of light to relegation.dd
