Will the frequent and drastic changes in the starting lineup have an impact on coordination?

To be honest, Rehhagel didn't have an answer to that question in his mind.

If the team didn't have such ambitions, that kind of problem wouldn't bother him.

Now, in addition to creating the miracle of zào, there are more and more exaggerated goals, and the adaptation and cultivation of cooperation have become the only way to achieve the goal.

In this game, Sheri and Kuka have been partners for many years, and both of them have been in good form recently, and there are no problems with cooperation.

In midfield, Sforza was the centrepiece of course, with Christov and Booker at the mercy of Leahy behind them.

Such a combination, even against the opponent in the league with medium strength, still has the strength to fight.

The only thing that has a huge variability is the backline!

The centre-back combination of Bremer and Sesker is a deliberately cultivated pair after Rehhagel's careful observation. The other two wing-backs and the substitute goalkeeper were all good guys in the first three German Cup games.

Of course, this kind of goodness is based on the fact that the opponent is not strong. In the face of a strong Hamburg team, and it is the first time to play away from home, whether it can withstand the high morale of the opponent has become a huge test for the entire backline.

To be honest, in this kind of knockout match in front of us, even if neither side has the main force on the field, the fans will not mind the quality of the game.

Win, move forward, lose, go home. This choice with no way back can easily arouse the enthusiasm of the fans in the stadium. At the beginning of the game, the huge roar from the stands made the newcomers in Kaiserslautern a little uncomfortable.

This maladaptation has nothing to do with the size of the heart.

It's all the starting lineup of the newcomers, no matter who makes a mistake. No one else will solve the problem with a lofty posture and a tone of lesson. In this situation, the overall atmosphere of the team is relatively peaceful, as long as the overall level of performance is good, then everyone in the team will be free of distractions and give their best to the game.

But if you are in the starting lineup. There are only a few newcomers in a bunch of old people, and that cautious mentality is the choice of the vast majority of newcomers. If you add the opponent's deliberately improved offensive and defensive rhythm and the constant noise of interference from the stands, the concentration problem in the game will emerge from time to time and sound the alarm!

To put it simply, the guys who weren't nervous about the game before are now so nervous that they can't let go!

By the 28th minute of the game, the score was already 1:2.

Veteran Sheri in the 12th minute of the game. It's off to a good start. He received a cross from his old partner Christov and smashed the ball home with a header. Unfortunately, he and Kuka failed to capitalise on the next few chances, and as a result of a successful quick counter-attack, breaking through the entire right side of the defence, and successfully equalising on 21 minutes.

This counterattack really reflects the style of the old strong team, two one-on-one strong opponents, three accurate and fast passes. Kaiserslautern's defence was completely crushed and it was reasonable to concede a goal.

Just when the newcomers haven't come to their senses. The morale-boosting opponents went out collectively, first the high position forced Booker to choose to pass back, and then the encirclement made the receiving left back obviously panicked, which could have directly destroyed the ball out of the sideline, and under the hesitation of the psychology, it became a breakthrough for the opponent to counterattack on the spot!

This kind of conceded goal is not a small blow!

You're going back and forth. The excellent side of the table takes the lead, and this is something that is acceptable to both sides. But if you don't know how to play after taking the lead, it's not enough to concede a goal, and you have to make mistakes one after another, then the balance of the game has obviously been broken!

Unstable at the back. What about offense?

No team will deny the above well-honed views.

On both occasions, Bremer and Sesk played the role of firefighters, but both failed.

After an apparently unforgivable second conceded goal, Bremer struck the post with a slap.

All the Kaiserslautern players on the field were a little dazed, but unfortunately, the expected anger did not come out, and the 35-year-old captain raised his head and glanced at the bench.

There, there was 31-year-old Lineker

In this team full of mysteries, there are many strange characters.

The 18-year-old star, the 18-year-old assistant coach, the disciple of the unknown head coach, the designated successor who is 3 years older than the star, and the bad boy who can still tie for the team's top scorer from time to time

Outside of these guys, the original order of the locker room still exists.

Captain Bremer, vice-captain Schjungberg, former captain Ruth, Lineker.

Due to his foreigner status and lack of confidence brought by the word "deputy", the vice-captain devoted all his energy to the game and training many times, striving to repay the trust of the head coach with an excellent performance.

The captain has reached the final stage of his career, the main position has long been lost, and his own personality is more than stable and domineering. It is obviously impossible for such an old guy to guarantee a good atmosphere in the locker room all the time.

Of course, there are amazing stars in the house, and this kind of problem does not make him sad.

Unfortunately, things are impermanent.

Today, at this moment, he really misses those guys on the bench!

Getting angry is not what he is good at, teaching people, and it is not something he is willing and willing to do. But now that danger has been ignited, should the situation be allowed to worsen?

"The old captain is in trouble!"

The two guys standing on the track looked carefully at what happened on the field, and after a while, Lachenhuo sighed with emotion.

"What would you do if it were you?" You Mo followed Bremer's gaze and turned to the bench.

Rehhagel was doing the same thing, staring blankly at the silent Lineker.

"Me? Why do you keep testing me today? "Brazilians are clearly not mindful of this kind of thing, and they look reluctant when asked.

"If I don't test you, who will I test? Runway, fans? You Mo withdrew his gaze and looked at the other party with a strange expression.

Rachin Huo Dan scratched his head in pain, and reluctantly said, "My words are probably right. I will learn from the BOSS and continue to trust young people! ”

Yumo was noncommittal, pointing at Sesk's blank expression, "Look, this guy is going to be infected by his teammates." ”

On the field, the 20-year-old youngster is very active in defending on the right side. In the middle, he lost his position. The opponent quickly seized the gap and fired a volley wide of the post.

The Brazilian was stunned for a while before muttering, "As for the head coach, I can't even do the captain!" ”

"Hey, Kuka, what are you doing?"

Yu Mo's loud voice hadn't been on the field for a long time, after a huge sigh in the stands. It's rare to shout out.

The effect is not bad, except for the Americans, other people of all ages have taken a look.

Including Rehhagel, Lineker, Bremer.

Kuka visibly froze, and when he spoke again, the ball was already flying over the field.

"Ah, what are you doing, kicking a ball!"

After a speechless answer. The American ran to the ball in the spotlight and jumped. But it's a big difference.

Hamburg's attack was still strong, and after another rush in front of Kaiserslautern, the ball was placed on the line of the small penalty area, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the goalkeeper to kick off.

"Hey, Sesk. Do you want to be a defensive leader when you grow up? ”

Kuka didn't run towards the halfway line as usual, and when he saw the dazed guy, he greeted him in a loud voice.

"Ah, that, no. Didn't think about it. Sesk shook his head vigorously, as if he would be knocked out if he was too slow.

"Listen to me, if you want to, the best opportunity is in front of you, believe it or not?" The Americans' eyes widened, and a blazing light ran out of them.

"yes, I see. You're going to help me, though. Sesk snapped, stopped, and his eyes widened as well.

"Of course, you can invite me to dinner!" Kuka grinned, raised his fist, and swung it hard in the air.

"No problem!"

In the last 15 minutes of the first half, the game gradually balanced.

Hamburg's on-field line-up was not strong enough to hold Kaiserslautern down, and after a burst of onslaught at the height of morale, they found that their opponents had slowly stabilized their positions, so they retreated and tangled with their opponents in midfield.

Kuka painted a big cake for everyone, but he didn't deliver on his promise, although the little guys at the back believed it.

Intermission, in the locker room.

Rehhagel smiled and knocked on the top of Kuka's head as soon as he entered.

"To be honest, I was fooled by him and thought about the 'best chance' for a while."

Kuka bared his teeth and didn't dare to refute.

"Sometimes, though, when you turn your attention away, you're in a much better mood. This feeling is like attending a funeral, in the midst of a painful cry, but you suddenly recall a very funny scene from the deceased's life. As a result, the atmosphere of grief is ignored by you, and the joy of memories makes your mood no longer heavy. ”

"It's the same with life, suffering, frustration, loss, is the eternal theme, and in the whole long river of life, at least half of the time should be occupied. The unpredictability of the future makes us magnify our pessimism, immerse ourselves in the pain of the present, and cannot extricate ourselves. ”

"In life, there is a group of guys who interpret 'believe to be true' as 'as long as you keep believing it, it's true.' I looked down on them at first, thinking that if I didn't have enough preparation and enough strength for anything, where would there be so many miracles on my head? ”

"Later, a guy appeared in front of me and shouted at me with a look of surprise, 'Don't you believe the myth of the promotion horse sweeping a qiē?' ”

"At first, of course I didn't believe it, I didn't even think of making a bet. Fortunately, I didn't bet with him, otherwise I would be so old that it would be shameless to lose to a little guy. ”

"Okay, the story is over, everyone will continue to work hard in the second half."

Rehhagel pushed the door open and went out for a while, but the locker room was still quiet except for the ticking of the clock.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Bremer got up and stretched.

"The boss is too foolish and doesn't talk about tactics. Do you like stories or tactics? ”

"It's really boring, it's not fun to finish the story so quickly!"

Sesk followed him, stretching as well.

"yes." The guys behind him stood up one after another, lazily one by one, as if they had watched a movie that ended without an ending. (To be continued......)
