Hertha Berlin's free kick went wide. Hamburg had a near miss and the ball was once again in Hamburg's hands.
Although Hertha Berlin was one goal behind, they still had no offensive attack. When Hamburg took the goal kick, they all retreated to after halftime, and no one created opportunities by pressing forward.
Hertha Berlin, which once showed a tendency to win the championship last season, is in trouble both internally and externally this season. On the one hand, the club has not made any effective moves in recruiting players. The team's main defenders have been transferred out for 7 million euros, and players on loan from Liverpool and Monaco have returned after their expiration.
, a total of 10 players were transferred. However, of the 8 players introduced, 2 were transferred on free transfers, 2 were loaned, and 1 was brought up from the second team. In addition, the 3 players introduced with transfer fees only cost 210.
million euros, from the perspective of revenue and expenditure, Hertha Berlin has obviously made a profit.
In addition, the stinginess in the salary of the players in the team has made many players want to leave. If the team's performance is not good, the club will not find the reasons from itself, but will fire the coach, deduct bonuses and reduce wages. One after another, the bad name cycle, Berlin Her.
Towers has been firmly in the relegation zone from the beginning of the season.
The coach Funkel introduced by the team in the middle of this season is the head coach of Cologne and Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. The reason why this coach was introduced is, firstly, because he has rich experience in relegation, and secondly, because the price is cheap and the price-performance ratio is high...

"Schultz! Turn around!" Chen Zhuo shouted, passing the ball to Schultz at the center back position. Matteisen also paid attention to helping Schultz observe the situation on the field.

After several turnovers in the midfield and backcourt, Chen Zhuo dribbled the ball through the midfield. The cheers of the home fans became more and more enthusiastic, and the rhythm of calling "fire" also began to speed up.
Near the midfield, Hertha Berlin's pressing finally became active. They accumulated heavy troops in the area from the midfield line to the front of the penalty area.
After several turnovers, Chen Zhuo pulled away Hertha Berlin's defensive forces and passed the ball back. Matheson made a long pass from the back line to find Janssen on the left side of the midfield! Just like the routine against Bayern in the last game
Same!
Now Chen Zhuo is in the center, cooperating with the forwards and midfielders to open up the defense, and then the center back passes the ball diagonally to Jansen, using Jansen's header to move into the gap to form a breakthrough and attack. This has become a repertoire of the Hamburg team.
This time, Hertha Berlin did not dare to commit offside, and Elia took advantage of the situation after receiving the ball!
The Hertha Berlin players retreated again, not even leaving the forwards in the center circle who were suppressing the opponent's defense. Only the 1.73 meter Brazilian midfielder Rafael was near the top of the penalty area.
Facing the airtight iron barrel formation, Elia did not pass the ball hastily. He protected the ball and passed it back to Jansen who came up for the assist. Jansen then knocked the ball back to Chen Zhuo who was in charge. The Hamburg team was very patient.
"Fire!" the home fans started chanting "fire!"
This word has become Chen Zhuo's exclusive word. Whenever the situation cannot be opened on the court, the home fans will shout this word, calling Chen Zhuo to show off his super long-range shot.
Chen Zhuo raised his head and observed the goal, moved the outside instep of his right foot horizontally, and lifted his right foot...
"Fire!" As the fans shouted loudly, the Hertha Berlin defender who rushed towards him also thought that Chen Zhuo was going to take a long shot. He instinctively made a dodge action...
However, Chen Zhuo made a fake move. When the opponent's defender made a sideways dodge move, he made another horizontal movement and raised his right foot again...
"Fire!" This time Chen Zhuo finally stopped dribbling laterally and started kicking!
Why did he hit the goal so eccentrically? Isn’t it Chen Zhuo’s footwork?
It's a pass! In a narrow passage on the right, Tunai Torun is running at high speed!
The ball comes to the player without having to stop it. Just as it arrives, Toren volleys with his usual foot and the ball roars towards the opponent's goal!
This was definitely a lucky ball. With such a high ball speed, the goalkeeper had no reaction at all, but the ball was actually blocked by the tall Hertha Berlin defender Nemanja of Serbia standing at the near post with his body...
In fact, Nemanja ran into the goal to help the goalkeeper prevent Chen Zhuo's long-range shot. This was the arrangement of Hertha Berlin head coach Funkel. If the Chinese player had a chance to take a long-range shot, the goalkeeper would take care of the short-range blind spot.
To defend, in the far corner, the tallest central defender will stand in the door like a corner kick...
Now it was a mistake, the ball was blocked by Nemanja, and the running Hertha Berlin player kicked out of the baseline, resolving this serious crisis...
Although I didn’t see Chen Zhuo’s long-range shot score, this scalpel-like pass and small forward Toren’s shot were both wonderful. The shouts of “fire” in the stands seemed to deliberately create momentum for this pass.
To divert the opponent's attention, everyone applauded enthusiastically for this wonderful attack.

Hamburg gets a corner kick.
Teshe and Jansen stood at the front and back points respectively, Petric, Rincon, Teshe, and Elia competed for positions in the small penalty area, and Torun was ready to kick off.
Chen Zhuo ran towards the corner flag. He wanted to take the corner kick, but Torun obediently gave it to him.
"Is this a tactical corner kick? We saw Patton and Torun whispering a few words, Torun retreated slightly, and Hertha Berlin's players immediately ran out to mark Torun's point!" Karl, commentator of Hamburg Sports Channel
Heinz is good at capturing and analyzing the details of the shots.
"Elia also wanted to run over. It was either a tactical corner kick, or Patton asked several players to run to attract holes in Hertha Berlin's dense defense. We saw Patton make a gesture with his left hand before serving the ball.
, this should be some code word agreed upon by the players..."
Labbadia on the sidelines asked Moniz in confusion: "Have we ever practiced this kind of corner kick tactic?"
Moniz shrugged his shoulders and said: "Recently, Schultz, Behrens, these little guys, and Toren, they all like to practice with Patton, and now they are also using Patton's
Use the lob method to practice long passes and lobs..."
Labbadia looked into the field and saw that Behrens and Matthiessen were coming up from the center circle without assists. Toren was running in front and Schultz was also... He was starting from the center circle to the front...
Chen Zhuo kicked the ball! The fast ball crossed an arc and flew towards the top of the penalty area...
"Center! Center!" Hertha Berlin goalkeeper shouted!
Players from both sides began to move outside the penalty area, ran a few steps and then stopped... Chen Zhuo made a powerful internal arc with his left foot, and the ball began to spin inwards at the top of the penalty area and flew towards the back of the penalty area...
"Oh, by the way, Jansen has been doing it every day since he recovered from injury..." Moniz added.
"Janssen! Jansen ran back a few steps and then made an emergency stop to get rid of the Hertha Berlin player who was marking him. When he turned around, the ball happened to be near him. Janssen was in great shape after returning from injury. He hit the spot where the ball landed. The conscious judgment is so good!" Duan Xuan explained quickly: "He stopped the ball with his chest, but it was a little too big and too close to the middle...Schultz, the center back Schultz ran all the way just right. Hit it and shoot! The ball went in! Hertha Berlin’s goalkeeper was beaten so hard that he almost didn’t react!”
Moniz and Labbadia looked at each other and clapped.
These things that these players have figured out by themselves are really effective! Chen Zhuo’s precise passing position, Jansen’s judgment and handling of the first landing point, Schultz’s backcourt that is not much noticed Suddenly inserted and shot...
Moniz also noticed that if Schultz failed to hit the ball, Toren, who had run in an arc, would be not far from Schultz. Behrens had already appeared in front of Janssen at some unknown time. On the left, if Janssen is missed by interference, Behrens, who is inserted behind the ball, can use his left foot to hit a small angle...
(Four)
After scoring the goal, Schultz cheered to Chen Zhuo, who was running to the sidelines. He suddenly jumped on Chen Zhuo, raised his hands and cheered loudly...
Rosenauer, who was warming up, also ran over and hugged them, and said to Schultz: "Haha! Well done, boy, I don't have to worry about you now, just concentrate and let us old guys rest more. meeting!"
Labbadia touched his chin, looked at Moniz, and asked: "Let Matteisen take a rest, Petric retreats to the midfield, and Ruud van Nistelrooy goes up to work with Toren to find his condition, is that okay?"
Moniz thought for a while, and this arrangement is to play a formation between 3-5-2 and 3-4-3. This will put more demands on the defense, and it will also give Schultz more training. .
Nodding, Moniz said: "Okay, if there is a problem, let Patton make adjustments on the court..."
Now we are not only leading by two goals, but more importantly, the players on the field have rekindled their fighting spirit. They are no longer tied up and worried about gains and losses. The next game can be regarded as a warm-up for the Europa League game four days later. The game is here to play.
