Chapter 169: Just an Opponent
The second half of the game began in a slightly quieter atmosphere.
Neither side knew what had changed in the other, and both sides were equally calm and cautious, which made the game a constant trial from the start.
To be honest, this way of fighting for internal strength has neither the excitement of opening and closing the attack, nor the pleasing of gorgeous and delicate technical performances. Although the fans in the stands did not leave, the audience in front of the TV set showed little interest.
The camera camera also seemed to have nothing to do, and from time to time it wandered around the dugout on either side.
Soon, the two guys who appeared in the camera had intriguing expressions under the magnifying glass.
Rehhagel sat alone in the coach's box, like an outsider, quietly thinking with his hands on the railing.
Daum was already standing on the sidelines.
The dignified look is in stark contrast to the score on the field, and the constant shouting is even more incomprehensible.
With the goal safe, the score ahead, and the simple midfield scramble necessary to be so involved?
No one knew what he was thinking, including himself.
What prompted him to get up from the dugout and stand on the sidelines all the time was just the uneasiness in his heart.
The opponent will not give up resistance, whether it is tactical adjustments to break through or replace fresh blood to fight to the death, it will be undoubtedly displayed in the second half for 45 minutes. This is what he repeatedly emphasized to his disciples during the 15 minutes of the intermission.
The game is like that, even the opponent who is extremely important before the game will inadvertently change his opinion as the game progresses.
In this game, there was a lack of attacking desire for the watch, the tempo was slow, and there were no decent chances in the entire first half. It didn't take much effort to take the lead. It's hard for them to really value it from the bottom of their hearts.
The insatiable promotion horse has no power to fight back!
Daum was well aware of the potential for such thoughts, and the speeches in the dressing room did not blindly emphasize the horror of his opponents.
Analyze the opponent's possible responses, arrange the dangerous people to keep an eye on in the defense in advance, and explain the huge difference between 1:0 and 1:1
These well-organized situation analyses calm down the restless hearts. Stop thinking about the sensation of the end result.
Unfortunately, ten minutes into the second half, the opponent's watch still made them feel like they were smashing their fists on cotton.
Soft, soft, resilient, and lacking in excitement, these guys who have created a bunch of miracles seem to be really tired. Moreover, even the audience seems to be infected. The sounds that come out are all weak.
There are opponents, there is an atmosphere, and the state can be activated, relying solely on professionalism, the head coach's ear and face, it is obviously difficult to reach the ideal height.
Moreover, not only did it not reach the ideal height, but the original height of the first half now seems to be a little difficult to guarantee!
Pay attention to your opponents. Be wary of your opponent's quick counter-attacks and always keep in mind the authenticity of the Reds' moments
These are like shackles. Let their all-offense and all-defense have always been in a state of convergence, using a slow-paced offense and defense that is completely different from the usual, and maneuvering with the opponent.
That's not right!
After observing the generally sluggish footsteps of his disciples, a voice in Daum's heart shouted.
In the 57th minute of the game, Bayer Leverkusen took the lead in substitutions
Substitutions mean that the game needs to be changed.
But I carefully observed the two old commentators for more than ten minutes before. They shook their heads a little.
"It was actually the Bayer Leverkusen team that changed first, and it was the striker who was replaced!"
"yes, it's a bit confusing. Sergio played well in this game, and judging from the long-range shot just now, he should not have obvious fitness problems at this time. β
"Such a slow-paced offense and defense. It should be the situation that the leading side wants to see the most, but why did Daum take the lead in adjusting? Are you worried about the team's delay in securing the win? β
"Probably because Kaiserslautern's watch today is very different from usual. They have not always shown an efficient passing and receiving level in attack, and the accuracy and creativity they use to create a threat are not at all comparable to usual, but they are impressed by the lack of leakage in defence. β
Well, in the second half, they still suffered from the opponent's key care on the right side, but the veteran Christov, who usually attacks and defends weakly, showed amazing tenacity. This makes the opponent's passing and breakthrough in this area obviously blocked, and if you can't continue to invest more, the scene begins to tend to balance. β
"Yes, he often goes back to the bottom line to participate in the defense, he is not physically strong but he often goes down to tackle. In order to curb the opponent's crosses and shots, he even sacrificed himself to block the gun's eye on several occasions. As a veteran, this spirit is worth learning from young people. β
However, his attacking power has dropped a lot as a result, and the whole team doesn't seem to be pinning their hopes on attacking from the right. For more than 10 minutes, as long as they got the ball, the ball kept circling in the middle and on the left. β
"Without the assist of Schjungberg on the right flank, Christov, who is not good at individual breakthroughs, is operating alone on the wing, and even if he is in good form, it is difficult to open the gap from the right. On the contrary, it was his resolute defense that gave the team an important boost to regain the balance of the game. β
"That's probably the adjustment Kaiserslautern made at half-time."
"It seems so. Daum probably didn't expect that the opponent would solve the problem of heavy dΓ in defense with such a small adjustment. If his team continues to play the same page, it will be difficult to predict the outcome of the whole game! β
"That's right, the Reds are getting closer, the score is still 1-0, the attack has no direction, and there are scruples about pressing hard. The team in this situation is actually a bit too conservative! β
"Yes, they are characterized by unrestrained all-out offense and full defense, and the slow defensive counterattack naturally cannot release their attack power, if it is maintained, the balance of victory and defeat will inevitably fall in favor of the opponent!"
"Substitutions mean adjustments, will it be a tactical return?"
Really!
As a famous handsome, there is no lack of courage to give it a go. Sensing the declining vitality of his disciples, Daum waved his hand vigorously.
Attack and defend!
Lineker who had been on the off scene for a while. Suddenly busy!
It's just that this kind of busyness is the normal operation of the defensive system, and there is no need for fans to be worried and exclaim.
The reason is, naturally, 90 to 120 forward, and an acceleration process is needed!
Attack and defend. It means that the local numerical advantage, and at the same time, it must also be supported by the high competitive state of the players, so that the local advantage can be spread to the whole field, so that the opponent cannot attack and prevent.
A big wave of the hand is just an attitude, and if you want to reproduce the glorious moment, you still need to accumulate bit by bit.
Bayer Leverkusen's sudden uptick of pace. Obviously, the balance between creating and grasping opportunities has not yet been found, and the numerical superiority of the local rapid build-up has brought about a marked increase in quantity, but the quality is mediocre.
As if anticipating their opponent's intentions, the Red Devils, who had been a little depressed throughout the game, finally heard the voice that made everyone excited.
"Now that they're here, let them see what we're preparing."
Preparation?
The voice that made the opponent flutter a little has been hidden in the hearts of the Red Devils for a long time.
Such a cautious and cautious enemy is like a hedgehog with the tip of a needle retracted. If you punch it rashly, you are likely to come back with a bloody hand.
After 120 minutes of fierce fighting four days ago. The thrilling results are in stark contrast to the apparent dip in form, a fact that even 10,000 unconvinced Americans Kuka can't deny.
There are ups and downs in the state, how can we still maintain strong competitiveness in the stage of decline?
Tactics!
In a crazy game, the guys who are in a bad state are like a group of German tanks, brutally and unreasonably crushing the past. and you can get the perfect result.
In a dull game, rely on the advantages brought by the overall operation to make up for the lack of individual form. Use tactical layout to bring the opponent into the preset trap step by step, and finally maintain enough morale and competitiveness of the team.
In Lu Wei's opinion. In this game, Daum has already made two mistakes.
The first was after the 15th minute of the game.
It is normal for the opening storm to be carried by an opponent who has been on guard for a long time. Recycling formations to prevent sneak attacks from opponents seems like a smart choice.
Not really!
If you want to take the initiative in the game, you must try to find out the weaknesses of your opponent while giving full play to your own strengths as much as possible.
If you don't have or can't find an obvious weakness, then do what you're good at to the extreme!
As a team that is good at attacking and defending, they like their opponents to open up and play against them. If the opponent can't get out of the hole, will they also abandon the usual method and use conservative and prudent tactics to win the ugly game?
If the opponent is any other team, Daum's team will not do that. But only such an opponent made him ignore his own strengths.
What should have been a me-oriented tactic turned into an opponent-oriented tactic, and that was the first mistake he made.
If they don't, they may complete the bloodbath after going crazy!
The second mistake was made just now.
In such a crucial battle, the score of 1:0 is a huge roadblock!
If it's 0:1 or 0:0, this decision to give it a go is undoubtedly a move that everyone expects.
Unfortunately not!
With a score of 1:0, the difference in mentality between defenders and attackers may not be big, or it may be beyond imagination!
In such a game that was watched all over Europe, they led until 60 minutes, and if the score was rewritten for defensive errors, the guy who made the mistake would undoubtedly be reviled by everyone. In this case, the caution of the defenders can be imagined.
The attacking players were certainly not happy with the delay in securing the win, and in their opinion, it was too conservative for the team to abandon the way they were always good at fighting. Strong tactical discipline is a sword hanging over their heads, and no one dares to change the tactical strategy repeatedly emphasized at half-time without clear instructions from the manager.
As a result, as time goes by, the gap between the mentalities of the two sides widens. Mapping to the game, it's disjointed!
Attack and defend in an all-round way, and pay attention to the overall action. Both the defenders and the midfielders have to contribute in attack to ensure that the team has strong game control. Daum's command is a boon for the offensive players to release their excitement, and for the defenders, it is a dilemma.
What should I do if the attack is not timely?
The further back in the race, the greater the loss of body and concentration. Even if the guys who are good at attacking and defending can remember the defense, the weakness will also happen in the second half of the game. Defenders who are well aware of this situation will obviously not use riskier positions to maintain control of the ball.
If the second mistake is not made, Kaiserslautern has prepared a plan for a long time, and it is likely that he will be stillborn!
The 0:1 score relied only on defense and obviously could not change the outcome. Kaiserslautern had been preparing for the first 15 minutes of the second half.
A direct manifestation of poor state is the inactivity of the mind and body.
Rigid thinking and sluggish body. The game that such guys can play is naturally a stereotypical and boring 5 yuan box lunch. Immature teams are often helpless in the face of this situation, and the result of impatience and rashness is very likely to be losing and losing.
Kaiserslautern's offensive in the first half was stopped by Lu Wei with a word, and the offensive in the second half improved slightly, but due to the problem of form, he has not been able to really threaten the opponent's goal. In this case, the temperament of this team that has precipitated after a long period of ups and downs begins to shine. The whole team is still not impatient and patiently uses the overall way of cooperation. to make up for the lack of personal ability.
In the absence of any clarity on the opponent's intentions, this method of fighting is undoubtedly the only option to maximize the strength of Cheng DΓΉ, and even if he fails to equalize for a long time, he will not allow the opponent to extend the lead.
Now, while the opponent blows the horn of the charge, they also see the dawn of victory!
The laggards were able to have an open attack in the last 30 minutes of the game. Such a good thing could not be missed!
In the 68th minute of the game, Yumo and Ballack stood in the substitution area, and the two were ready to replace Sheri and Sforza, who had dropped significantly, to accumulate strength for the final counterattack.
Daum, who was still busy standing in the substitution area, began to feel uneasy in his heart!
It seems like. Something is wrong!
As a famous marshal, I have realized this, and the answer is about to come out.
Attacking and defending the wrong way, shrinking the defense is the best way to win the game!
However, if the order just given is overturned so quickly, where is the authority of the head coach?
Daum, who couldn't help but shake his head, gave up his intention to change tactics immediately, and waved to replace the slightly impatient Ze Roberto with a defensive midfielder.
The Brazilian's table for this match is not satisfactory.
The first 15 minutes of the first half were his best moments, passing, passing, long-range, mastering everything, and threatening several times, which was the best on the pitch at that stage.
Unfortunately, as the team's clear tactical retreat, his watch began to fall back, and the goal he scored came from an assist from his compatriot Emerson, who only played a covering role on the side.
He became the most excited one when the horn sounded in the second half, and the idea of taking a kick himself was stronger than ever in the face of the opportunities that kept appearing.
At this time, he was replaced, and he met the guy who became a laughing stock himself, and the fire in his heart can be imagined.
"Hey, Golden Boot, have you figured out how to explain to the media?"
Before he reached the substitution area, Ze Roberto raised his hand and waved it vigorously in the air, lest others not know about it, and shouted loudly.
"Ah, Jin's left foot, how does it feel to be replaced?"
Yu Mo really didn't pay attention to the Brazilian's cunzΓ i, if it wasn't for Ballack stabbing him in the back, he wouldn't have known that the other party was talking to him.
However, now that he came back to his senses, he blurted out a counterattack, and he looked at Barak on the side without thinking at all.
"Answer my question first." Ze Roberto was clearly in a bad mood, frowning and biting his lip.
"The media is not my opponent, you are." You Mo didn't have so much time to talk nonsense, and he high-fived Xie Li in the air, and after trotting two steps, he did an easy front flip, which instantly aroused the enthusiasm of the whole stadium.
Amid the applause and shouts, Ze Roberto stood in the substitution area.
Just an opponent?
Isn't it an enemy?
In the new week, shout a few words, and the impatient can ignore it.
After a week of competitive pushing, the collection is finally not far from the 1,000 mark. To be honest, it's close to 2 million words to collect so much, and I'm embarrassed to face the editor-in-charge.
Life still has to go on, the problem of eating still has to be solved, no matter how bad the grades are, no matter how ugly the face is, I don't plan to cut it all at once.
The next book is already in full swing, and the book is expected to be released at the end of the month.
So, I'm sorry to tell you that this book is going to be updated a little slower.
At present, it is planned to change from two to one change, and the number of words is between 4,000 and 5,000, please understand.
This month's subscriptions and collections have risen well, and the monthly pass is a bit pitiful.
The reduction also requires a monthly pass, and this kind of thing can't be done by a guy who is not thick-skinned.
Fortunately, I have a lot of research in thick black studies, and there is no psychological pressure to shout this voice!
Finally, thank you for the monthly pass of the fat denim with the same shoes, the reward of the same shoes of T**, and the praise of the same shoes in the immortality. With your years, the sound of tapping on the keyboard is very pleasant! (To be continued......)
