The prince did not participate in the training in the next few days because he had a cold. It was a shameful reason and he was not accustomed to the climate. But fortunately, he finally recovered before the second round match against Bielefeld. Therefore, coach Funkel
The prince was still included in the 18-man roster, but out of the idea of protecting him, he was not allowed to start. He is considered a surprise player. If the situation is not good, let him play, which is also a good arrangement.
Frankfurt's starting lineup for this away game is goalkeeper Puller, Kiljakos and Spicher, the two unlucky guys who have been teased by the prince, still occupy the central defender position. The two full-backs are Oakes and Lu
Si, the five midfielders are Junichi Inamoto, Madavecchia, and Funk, the three unshakable main players, Meyer who is barely a good friend of the prince, and Streiter, who has been in poor form recently.
On the forward line, captain Almaditis strained his thigh during pre-match training, so he could only sit in the stands and cheer for the team in this game. However, Japanese international Naotai Takahara was still unable to play. Coach Fen
Kerr could only choose the team's third forward Turk. On the bench sat substitute goalkeeper Zimmerman, young midfielder Ljubicic, defensive midfielder Weissenberger and two substitute defenders Vasos
Ki and Shafta.
Bielefeld coach Middendorp tried his best to use the starting lineup that defeated Wolfsburg 3-1 in the last round away game, hoping to win Frankfurt at home.
After the opening, the Frankfurt team's tactics were very clear, which was to strengthen the pressing in the midfield and frontcourt, hoping to limit Bielefeld's offense. This tactic worked well in the opening stage, and Bielefeld's players faced their mad dog-like attacks.
The pressing was indeed a little uncomfortable and there were many mistakes. Frankfurt's several counterattacks after stealing the ball in the midfield were very threatening, but they seemed to be unlucky and missed the goal.
In the 5th minute, Meyer returned to the center from the left side of the penalty area, and Streit missed the target with his left foot.
In the 8th minute, Streit received a pass from his teammate from the left baseline and shot with his right foot again past the right post.
In the 10th minute, Bielefeld midfielder Kucera made a mistake in passing the ball in front of his own penalty area. Turk hit the goal with his right foot from the top of the penalty area and missed the right post.
In the 14th minute, Madavecchia's right-footed attack from the edge of the penalty area was hugged by Hein.
Bielefeld's coach Middendorp kept making various complicated gestures on the sidelines, hoping to allow the players on the field to withstand Frankfurt's attack according to the instructions, but the effect was not obvious. The players on the field were obviously distracted.
Frankfurt was stunned by three goals in the opening game. It was lucky that they didn't score a goal. How could they still be in the mood to look at the coach who looked like a monkey with his butt burned on the sidelines?
However, Frankfurt's offensive did not last long. Coach Funkel felt that the away game was still about maintaining stability. Attacking too hard was not a good thing. It would be bad if he was caught fighting back, so he signaled the players on the field to slow down.
Don't rush to attack, focus on defense first. The prince on the bench felt that the head coach was too conservative. He had obviously overwhelmed the opponent, so he still had to think about defense. What a damn defense. Can the opponent still attack?
.
In this way, the rest of the first half ended in a dull tug-of-war between the two sides.
The prince did not go back to the locker room to listen to the head coach's explanation of the tactics for the second half. Instead, he was warming up on the sidelines because he was not optimistic about this game. If he really fell behind, he might have to play.
After the halftime break, Bielefeld obviously changed his tactics. He played a British-style long pass and crossed the midfield to directly find the forward players. When defending, he stayed in the midfield and quickly stopped Frankfurt's attack.
Slowly, relying on the momentum of the home court, they dominated Frankfurt's half...
In the 58th minute, Meyer brought down the opponent's forward on the left. In the second half, Bielefeld's midfielder Masmanidis, who came on as a substitute, passed a free kick. Center Aigler's header had already passed Pule.
His hands hit the crossbar.
In the 62nd minute, midfielder Boehme switched positions and passed from the left baseline. His midfield partner Kucera headered the goal in the penalty area. 1-0, Frankfurt fell behind in the away game. But it was even more terrifying.
Something happened. Before the players in Frankfurt could get over the shadow of losing the ball, they suffered a more fatal blow. In the 65th minute, the tall center of the opponent pulled to the left to support, received the ball and passed the ball across
In the penalty area, his striker partner Vychniarek cleverly shoveled a shot from behind and scored an empty goal, 2-0. The head coach Funkel on the sidelines patted his head in annoyance, perhaps regretting his conservatism.
Maybe he blamed himself for his on-the-spot command, but the prince always felt that he was a pitiful person.
Now there are less than 30 minutes left including injury time. If he doesn't score again, there may be no chance of this game. The prince really wants to play at this time, but he sees Funkel still in a daze on the sidelines.
There was no other way but to remind him of his presence. The prince roguely walked around the head coach Funkel. Maybe he thought that the prince's appearance could change the team's passive situation, or maybe he was really attracted by the prince.
When the situation got annoying, Prince was asked to come on to replace Strait, who was sleepwalking on the court.
This was a very special moment, and it was from this moment that the prince or Callejon began his glorious football career.
After coming on the field, Wang Zi explained the coach's tactical arrangements one by one. In fact, it was just to strengthen defense and wait for opportunities to attack. It was very untechnical. Wang Zi even felt that based on this idea, this game was really hanging in the balance.
The prince remembered that he still had three sure-fire goals, and there was no chance that he would waste one here. There was no other way. In this case, he had to score quickly to restore everyone's momentum, otherwise the rest of the game would not be possible.
I can't play. Moreover, this is my first professional game. I have the opportunity to become famous with one goal. I would be a real idiot if I don't fight for it.
The prince didn't hesitate at all. When he saw Meier successfully intercepting the opponent's ball, he immediately shouted to him to pass the ball. Maybe it was friendship that was at work. Meier actually passed the ball to the prince who was wandering on the wing of the midfield.
Although the distance was a bit far, the football still fell straight towards the prince. The prince, who had not touched the ball since he came on the field, naturally would not miss this opportunity. The player who was leaning on the opponent easily unloaded the ball and turned around to wipe it behind him.
The players, at this time, had a wide view, and there were no defenders of the opponent within 10 meters in front. The prince did not hesitate at all, and ran forward with the ball at high speed. After carrying it for more than 10 meters, he encountered the opponent's player's interception, but it was not very
Tight defense, after all, it was still in Frankfurt's half, and the pressing was not very active. Did the prince have too much entanglement? While dribbling the ball at high speed, he lightly pushed the ball to the right, and then dodged the defensive player from the left, passing the ball.
After passing, he continued to run forward amidst the exclamations of the home team fans. Several other Frankfurt offensive players also reacted at this time and rushed towards the opponent's half. As long as the prince could pass the ball,
That was a situation of more play and less play in the frontcourt. The probability of scoring was still very high, and Bielefeld's players also began to return to defense. What was unexpected was that the prince who had just brought the ball across the half court did not continue.
Dribbling the ball forward, he did not pass the ball to his teammate who was rushing in at high speed. Instead, he raised his right foot and hit the ball hard. The ball went straight to the goal in a rainbow-like arc.
At that time, Bielefeld's goalkeeper Hein was still observing the game on the line of the penalty area. He saw the football going straight to the goal and ran backwards in embarrassment. However, before he could reach the small penalty area, the trajectory of the ball had already reached
With his head on his head, he jumped backwards with all his strength, waving his hands randomly in the hope of hitting the ball, but wishes are always good, and the ball ruthlessly passed his hands and fell into the goal...
The prince completely copied Beckham's famous mid-line lob in Manchester United's away game against Wimbledon in the 1996-1997 season. Does this indicate that the prince will embark on a superstar career like Beckham?
Where is the road? This is the first thought of everyone who has watched this game.
After scoring the goal, the prince did not celebrate grandly. Instead, he quickly ran towards the opponent's goal amidst the boos of the Bielefeld fans. The other players who were stunned by his lob did not know that he was going to
What are you going to do? Is it to provoke a player from the other team? I didn’t see who he had a conflict with just now. It wasn’t until the prince picked up the ball that he just kicked into the goal and ran towards the center circle that everyone realized
He wanted to seize the time and start the game as soon as possible. Bielefeld's players were angry. It's not enough to score one goal. What's going on? Do you still want to win?
As the prince held the ball and ran towards the center circle, Bielefeld players kept trying to grab the ball from his hand, but they were all dodged by the prince one by one. He couldn't avoid it and could only give it a rough hand.
Fortunately, the Frankfurt players, led by Meier, came to support the prince and stopped most of the opponent's players, otherwise a violent incident might have occurred.
After several whistles from the referee, the players from both sides finally dispersed. After all, no one wanted to get a yellow card, so it was better not to provoke the referee's dignity.
After Bielefeld kicked off, he also began to slow down the pace interestingly. Although the goal he just conceded was a flash of inspiration from Prince, it was also because the team attacked too hard just now. Now that he knows where the mistake was, he can't make it again.
Fortunately, the score is still one point ahead. Frankfurt is still anxious. Now it only needs to do a good defensive counterattack.
The court gradually became calm again. Frankfurt's cautious attack and Bielefeld's full defense made the scene naturally dull. Until the 67th minute, Streit passed the ball low from the left into the penalty area. Meyer found out after getting the ball.
He had no chance to take a shot, so he had to pass the ball back to the prince who had just ran into the penalty area. Before the prince could make any move after getting the ball, he was pushed down by the sudden force coming from behind.
