The hero of Rostock this time was Rostock captain Hiraov, who had not been seen for a long time. After receiving a pass from Li Yi just outside the small penalty area, Hirarov made a beautiful diving dive and headed the ball into the goal. Fortunately, Rostock took the lead in the away game.
,1 to 0.
Lying on the ground, after seeing the ball go into the net, Hirafu quickly got up from the ground and ran towards Li Yi. He has played in the league for more than 10 years, and his number of goals so far is still in single digits.
Li Yi has already contributed 2 assists to him in just 10 games. Hirafu is really excited!
Well, being ahead of the leaders of the Bundesliga 2 made all the players in Rostock soar with adrenaline. Li Yi, who assisted, became a "victim" again. How miserable is the bottom one among more than 10 people? Just look at Li Yi and you will know.
Enough chatter and get back on the field.
Seeing that Rostock was celebrating endlessly, the game time was also up, and the referee on duty blew the whistle to end the first half...
When everyone returned to the locker room, Li Yi kept rubbing his shoulders. He had been "besieged" just now, and now he couldn't calm down, and his whole body was still aching.
Funk, who had always been in a "hair dryer" state, did not continue his role this time. During the break, he spared no effort in praising the 10 players in Rostock.
Leading the leader at half-time, is there anything else that dissatisfies him? If he had to find one, it would be Frankfurt. Frankfurt faced Cottbus at home in this game. At the end of the first half, it was also 1-1.
0 lead!
In fact, for Funk now, he doesn't think relegation is a big problem. With Li Yi, his unbeaten record gives him full confidence to face the third place in the German Bundesliga, what, Funk
It took me a long time to think about Ingolstadt!
What Funk is thinking more about now is whether it is possible to upgrade to the Bundesliga 2 next season. By the way, as the season is coming to an end, Funk also thought of the issue of Li Yi's contract two days ago.
Li Yi is still on a youth team contract, which is a non-guaranteed contract. If a team poaches Li Yi at this time, he does not even need to pay a transfer fee to Rostock. Of course, the premise is that he has to do the work of getting Li Yi first.
.
So Fink urgently contacted Chairman Hoffman that day and proposed to increase Li Yi's salary and re-sign a formal professional contract.
However, a belly full of fat means a belly full of fat. After hearing what Fink said, Hoffman calmly told him not to worry and to wait and see!
Originally, Funk wanted to argue with Hoffman, but he suddenly thought that his own contract was still non-guaranteed! He had no choice but to give up and wait until the end of this season!
——————
With the referee's whistle, the second half of Kaiserslautern vs Rostock began.
After the second half of the game started, Funk discovered a strange problem!
That is, Kaiserslautern, who were behind by a score, did not seem to care about the outcome of the game at all. Once they came up, they controlled the ball steadily on the court and were not in a hurry to attack.
Funk, who had no idea about the opponent's head coach's arrangements, had to come to the sidelines and tell the Rostock players that no matter what the opponent was doing, they had only one task, to defend first, and it didn't matter if they counterattacked or not! Funk
His idea is to remain unchanged in response to all changes! He believes that if Kaiserslautern wants to change the score, they will definitely attack first.
After receiving the instructions from head coach Finke, Rostock, who had one less player to play, all retreated to their own half under the command of Hirarov, leaving only Shapzadeh near the midfield!
Under such circumstances, both sides seemed to have no desire to attack, and the match time passed by minute by second in a dull manner.
Seeing that they were lagging behind at home and had done nothing, the Red Devils, who had performed well this season, actually received boos from the home fans!
Kaiserslautern head coach Krasimir Balakov [this Balakov was one of Stuttgart’s European troika, Balakov, Elber, and Bobic] when he heard that the home court
Despite the boos from the fans, Ren remained unmoved and signaled the players on the field to continue playing according to the midfield arrangement.
If Li Yi starts the full-field analysis now, he will find a problem, that is, Kaiserslautern's seemingly meaningless kick near the midfield, the ball is actually getting closer and closer to Rostock's goal! It is a pity that Li Yi did not
, so although Rostock has some doubts about why Kaiserslautern would "cooperate" with them to win, they still have no clue!
In the 20th minute of the second half, Kaiserslautern, which had been maintaining a super slow pace in the second half, suddenly sped up. As Balakov replaced three main players on the offensive line, Kaiserslautern's offensive was huge.
Like waves, they pounced on the Rostock front one after another! The defense was not good to begin with. Can Rostock, who played less than one player for most of the game, successfully maintain the 1-0 score until the end?
At this time, Fink, who was sitting off the court and had been thinking about what Balakov was thinking, also realized that the tactic Balakov wanted to use was to use the 30 minutes of the second half to let the Rostock players follow their own rhythm.
, No, when Kaiserslautern speeds up, doesn’t Rostock also start running around all over the field? Don’t forget, there is one less person on the field in Rostock. If you follow Kaiserslautern’s rhythm like this, your physical strength will improve in the game.
In the last few minutes, you are bound to undergo a serious test!
However, even if he knew the opponent's thoughts, Funk felt that he had nothing to do. Rostock's three substitutions in this game have now been used up. Funk replaced goalkeeper Blinski in the first half and replaced forward Cohen in the second half.
Two more personnel adjustments were made in the midfield and backcourt. Now Fink can no longer be replaced. Whether he can hold on depends on the performance of the players on the field. As for telling the players on the field not to follow the opponent? This is more
It's impossible. Isn't that lighting a lantern in a cesspool and seeking death?
Sure enough, just as Balakov and Funk expected, the critical moment that determines the outcome of this game finally arrived, that is, the last 10 minutes of the game.
After running with the Rostock players for 15 minutes, Kaiserslautern suddenly slowed down the pace of the game again. This change in pace caused a problem.
People are all lazy. If you keep running, maybe if you grit your teeth and persevere, your physical strength will be able to push through the limit, that's fine. But Balakov, as an old fox on the court, didn't expect to become a coach.
, still difficult to deal with. He chose the critical point of fatigue of the Rostock players and slowed down the rhythm of the game. In this way, the players on the field in Rostock, in addition to the two players who played in the second half and Li Yi, and the goalkeeper Brin
Ski, everyone feels exhausted and can hardly run anymore. This race has only really begun now.
Seeing that almost all the players on the field in Rostock could no longer run, Balakov waved his hand on the sidelines to signal the Kaiserslautern players to start a full-scale attack.
In this way, Rostock truly realized the true strength of Kaiserslautern.
At the beginning of the first half, Kaiserslautern didn't have any main players in the offense. They were all substitutes and young players, so there was not much pressure on Rostock. Except for the penalty kick, there were almost no absolute chances.
In the second half, due to Balakov's arrangements, Kaiserslautern replaced three main players on the offensive line. In the attack, the actual threat was not great. All they did was to wear down the Rostock players.
Just physical strength.
Kaiserslautern's offensive wave started. Li Yi also wanted to make some effective interceptions on Kaiserslautern in the middle of the field. However, Kaiserslautern kept kicking the ball and did not give Li Yi a chance.
, Li Yi was helpless.
After all, he is still a human being, not a god. Even if Li Yi turns on god mode now, Li Yi is sure that the chance of stealing the ball will still not exceed 50%, and there is a high chance that he will become the god of sleep again due to excessive use of brain power.
!
After seeing that the robbery was ineffective, Li Yi simply returned to his own penalty area and chose to start a small analysis when the opponent passed the ball to fight for the first landing spot!
In this way, the effect is indeed much better than running around just now. Rostock's goal is temporarily safer.
[Actually, because of his thin body, Li Yi is not always able to fight for the opponent's cross. However, as long as you can constantly interfere in front of the opponent's offensive players, even if you can't grab the ball, the opponent's shooters will always be in confrontation.
, the opponent’s shot will also be inaccurate!]
Balakov on the sidelines saw that Rostock's defense was actually getting stronger, and he suddenly felt very incredible.
"They obviously have no physical strength, how can their defense become stable?" Balakov's head spun rapidly, and he saw forward No. 9 Rakic once again passed the ball from the wing under the interference of Li Yi.
The ball flew overhead, and Balakov finally discovered the key to the problem.
"No. 87, Artus - keyman" After writing this sentence on the tactical board, Balakov called No. 10 Chadli Amri, the soul of the team's offense, to the sidelines.
The underpassing tactic that he has been focusing on just now was arranged by Balakov, because there are too many people gathered in the middle of Rostock, and it is not easy to tear apart Rostock's defense from the middle.
How to break the iron barrel formation has always been a century-old problem on the football field. Balakov replaced two high center forwards, plus attacking midfielder Amri. I originally thought that facing a weak team like Rostock, let alone
In the end, it was definitely no problem to overtake and equalize. Unexpectedly, Rostock's cross was made useless because of one person - Li Yi! So he had to change his tactics.
"So, so, so, so" After saying this in Amri's ear, Balakov patted Amri heavily on the shoulder and signaled Amri to return to his position quickly!
After Amri returned to the court, Funk felt that Kaiserslautern must have undergone certain changes, but Funk was not a god. He really did not know the opponent's tactics before the opponent used them. This is the passivity of the defense.
Yes, you never know what the other person is thinking before they use it.
I saw that after Amri got the ball about 30 meters away from the goal, he did not divide the sides like before, but chose to break through... dd
