While the Cottbus players were interacting with the fans to celebrate the goal, Funkel called several players to his side and made changes to the tactics, but did not adjust the personnel on the field. After all, it had just started.
, it is not the time to make a substitution, and there is no better choice on the bench.
After the restart, Almaditis, who had been in front, returned to the midfield to help defend, and Prince appeared in the opponent's half. Kailai Funkel was also worried that Cottbus's momentum would become even higher after taking the lead, and the defense would be blocked.
The prince of the black hole pushes to the front, and Almaditis, who has strong pressing ability, intercepts in the midfield. In this way, when defending, the midfielder accumulates heavy troops, and when attacking, he directly looks for the prince in front without passing through the midfield, using the prince's
Speed up Cottbus's counterattack. Of course, this is only a temporary expedient. It only applies when Cottbus attacks fiercely. As soon as their offensive stops, they will change back to the previous tactics, organized by the prince.
Attack and slowly press Cottbus.
The change in tactics quickly had results. More than 10 players from both sides gathered in the midfield, which was like a meat grinder constantly stifling the offense of both sides, but the consequences for both sides were different. Cottbus played
The tactics are to advance layer by layer, while Frankfurt crosses the midfield and directly looks for the forward. This determines the situation. It seems that Cottbus has the advantage in possession of the ball, but it is Frankfurt's counterattack that is threatening. However, at this stage
, because Cottbus's offensive was still very strong, Frankfurt did not invest too much offensive force, and only the prince was supporting the front. Although the prince had extraordinary abilities, he was not a god and could not defeat the entire team.
The scene of passing three or four defensive players and then scoring does not happen all the time. Faced with the close defense of the opponent's two central defenders, it is very difficult for the prince to even get the ball.
As a result, the situation on the field fell into a stalemate, but the coaches of both sides were discerning and knew that the current situation was gradually becoming beneficial to Frankfurt. As time goes by, Cottbus's offense will inevitably slow down or even stop.
, this is an inevitable rule on the court, no matter how strong the team is, it is impossible for them to attack for 90 minutes.
At the 25th minute of the first half of the game, the Cottbus players who had suppressed Frankfurt for most of the game finally ran out of energy. They had no choice but to slow down the pace of the attack and stabilize the situation. After all, they were now leading by two goals and there was no need to rush the attack.
Well, the urgent thing now is Frankfurt.
Prince clearly felt the change in the situation in the frontcourt, signaled to Almadetis, and then retreated to the midfield to change positions with him, thus returning to the opening tactical arrangement.
As Cottbus's attack slowed down, Frankfurt slowly started to counterattack under the midfield dispatch of Prince. Of course, the midfielder at this time was still the center of the confrontation between the two sides. Generally speaking, whoever wins the midfielder wins the world. This saying
Although this cannot be implemented 100% of the time, it can still be applied most of the time.
After the two sides competed in the midfield for a period of time, the prince decisively accelerated the rhythm of the attack, constantly dividing the ball to the two wings, and then constantly pulling the wings to support. Since Frankfurt's tactical arrangement did not set up full-backs,
Therefore, the prince can only continue to support the two wingers. The two wingers, Madavecchia and Meyer, are extremely fast players with excellent skills. If they face only one defensive player on the opponent's side, they can break through decisively.
, if there are players to help defend, then hand the ball to Prince to continue dispatching. Frankfurt's two defensive midfielders are protecting behind Prince, and they will step forward to respond when Prince does not have a good route for the ball. In this way,
The prince was surrounded by more than 5 ball-out points, which made him even more comfortable with his already strong organizational skills. Under his continuous distribution of the ball, Cottbus's midfield quickly collapsed, and gradually
The defense line has changed from the midfield to the backcourt. Frankfurt suppressed Cottbus for the first time in this game, and the game also entered a situation that they can control...
In the 30th minute of the first half, Spicher intercepted the opponent's side breakthrough and handed the ball to Prince. Now Prince is Frankfurt's first ball point. As long as there are no obstacles, the players will hand the ball to him as soon as possible.
He came to organize the attack. After the prince received the ball, he faced the opponent's player's attack. He moved the ball away from the spot and leaned on the opponent to hand the ball to Madavecchia. Then he quickly stepped in to receive the Iranian's counterattack.
The latter player passed the ball and avoided a defensive player. At this time, Almadetis and Meyer had already inserted themselves into Cottbus's penalty area. Although there were defensive players around them, the attacker was always
They all took the initiative. The prince controlled the ball at his feet and waited for the opportunity. Meyer did not disappoint the prince. He first quickly pulled out of the penalty area, and then used Alma Ditis to make a pick-and-roll similar to a basketball tactic, and got rid of it.
Cottbus's defender, at this time, Prince's through ball accurately came to Meyer's feet. Cottbus goalkeeper Piplica decisively gave up the goal in the face of Meyer's single-handed ball, but Meyer immediately
The goal was so sudden that even Cottbus defender Mitreski's sliding tackle in front of the goal didn't have time to clear the ball.
, his sliding tackle directly hit the goalpost. In this way, Cottbus not only lost one point, but even the main defender was injured and left the field. Misfortunes never come singly.
Meier pulled the captain who was pulling for him to find the passing prince, and the three of them started to drive a train together to celebrate. Other Frankfurt players gradually joined in, so the train was composed of Frankfurt players, substitute players and coaching staff.
The train drove around the Friendly Stadium, the home stadium of Cottbus. Every time it passed a stand, the Cottbus fans naturally threatened the train with huge boos. The best result would be if it derailed.
.But the Frankfurt players didn't care. They had been accustomed to these boos for a long time after many battles. So this happy train drove all the way to Frankfurt's bench, and then took off the next quarter at the urging of the referee.
opened.
After the goal, Frankfurt became more energetic and attacked more fiercely, aiming to overtake the score in the first half or at least equalize in order to achieve a more favorable situation in the second half.
In the 35th minute, Prince launched a very threatening attack. After dividing the ball, Prince quickly moved forward to the penalty area. This was the closest distance between Prince and the opponent's goal in this game. Meyer continuously broke through Kurt.
The two wide players of Booth buckled the ball back and cut a few steps along the penalty area line to shoot. When the defender of Cottbus blocked the block, he faked a shot and passed the ball into the penalty area.
At that time, Prince and Almaditis had penetrated the Cottbus penalty area like two sharp knives. Meyer's pass went straight to Prince on the left side of the penalty area. At this time, Prince had defensive players in front and behind him. Although he took the
There is nothing wrong with protecting the ball, but with his tragic shooting skills, if the goal is to hit the ball directly, the second option is to protect the ball before passing the ball, which will definitely delay the attack opportunity, so Cottbus'
The defense must be in place, and the opportunity is lost. Prince suddenly had an idea and stepped directly over the ball. The two players double-teaming Prince were also shaken by this action. They thought that Prince would dribble the ball and continue walking inside, so they continued to follow him.
Follow the prince closely. Unexpectedly, the football has passed between the prince's legs and reached the feet of Almadetis. The Greek may not be that kind of powerful center, but in the face of such an opportunity, there is definitely no reason to let it go.
Leaning on the Cottbus defender behind him, he took a curved ball with his left foot, passed the goalkeeper's defense and spun into the Cottbus goal.
Armaditis, who scored the goal, jumped directly on the prince in excitement and kept rubbing the prince's head...
"That's a beautiful leak, Jose, I'll treat you tonight." Almadetis wanted to express his gratitude to the prince. Meyer was extremely unbalanced on the side, "This is my assist, okay!" But no one paid attention to it.
There was no further achievement from either side in the next half, and the score of 2:2 remained until the end of the first half.
"You guys, you all turned a deaf ear to what I said. If you had focused on defense at the beginning, we would definitely be in the lead now. However, your performance in the second half of the first half was still good and deserves praise. In the second half,
I have to keep it up. I won’t make any changes in tactics, but I will make some adjustments in terms of personnel. Ioannis, you also scored in the first half. You will take a rest in the second half. Naotai Takahara will take your place. For the time being,
In this way, if anyone feels that there is a physical problem in the second half, please let me know quickly. If you win this game, then we will create a new record for consecutive wins in the beginning of the Bundesliga. Although I don’t care about this thing myself, I think
You should still have this sense of honor, so we still have to attack with all our strength in the second half, but we must also invest energy in defense. The current record of Cottbus is 0 wins, 2 draws, 5 losses, and we are at the bottom of the standings with two points.
One, if you can't win against such a team, then you might as well commit suicide. The league leader was defeated or tied by the vice squad leader. With such an ending, you can imagine how the major media will comment on us the next day.
, "Eintracht Frankfurt, which had a bad luck defeating some bad teams and ranked first in the standings, finally showed its true colors when faced with the challenge of the league deputy monitor. Since then, it has been sluggish and plummeting." Do you want to see such a thing?
What happened?" During the halftime break, Funkel did not arrange too many tactics, but gave some words of encouragement to Frankfurt's players.
