Chapter 39: The Story Behind the Scenes

Tough cookie!

After 20 minutes of hard-fought half-time, both sides had a similar feeling.

Loew's pre-match data and in-depth analysis were clearly beyond all of Kaiserslautern's previous opponents.

This is both a pride and a challenge for a promoted horse.

What does it feel like to be thoroughly studied?

Kaiserslautern's midfield combination is not weak, Booker, Ballack, Rachinho, Sforza, plus a free man, the average height of the five reached 184, and the weight was also 80 kilograms. Moreover, excellent physical condition is only their superficial condition, and in terms of confrontation ability, the five people are not weak. Except for You Mo, the other four are all in their playing years, and they are not lacking in game experience.

It's such a midfield five, and when facing Stuttgart's five people who are also in turn, they can't take advantage of it at all!

The power of understanding lies in the pertinence of offensive and defensive choices.

In the Kaiserslautern five-man combination, Latchenho has a certain ability to hold the ball, but he is at the back, he is more cautious when holding the ball, and when the pressure increases, he basically chooses to pass horizontally or back.

In addition to him, Ballack also has good skills at his feet, but his height of 188 determines his technical characteristics.

Accurate, but lacking variation.

In order to curb their role in attack, Stuttgart increased their frontal defence, making it difficult for them to have enough space to complete the action at all times.

In addition to the two, there is also the most important organizational core.

Sforza is undoubtedly the on-field commander of this team, and his footwork is clearly superior to that of the other four. However, the guy who is good at creating threats by changing the rhythm of guò is clearly in big trouble.

31-year-old guy, Barakov!

The biggest contributor to Bulgaria's semi-finals at the '94 World Cup was a masterful midfielder with excellent ball control. Gorgeous line changes. His elegant left-footed technique is what he is known for. On the pitch he was right opposite Sforza, who played as a right midfielder.

Two people, levels, achievements, abilities, Balakov crushed the opponent head, the only weakness. It's probably a physical problem caused by age.

However, to play to his physical advantage, Sforza had to wait until the last 30 minutes of the game!

In the case of mental arithmetic and unintentional, Kaiserslautern obviously suffered a dark loss!

The young marshal and the famous marshal sympathized with each other before the game, and the comparison of shots was naturally indispensable in the game.

After turning back and forth a few shots, the two old commentators began to sigh.

The expressions of the two were a little interesting. Stuttgart had an obvious advantage on the field, but the young coach Loew still didn't have any happy expression, standing straight in the substitution area, his calm expression seemed to be looking at the sunset. Reminisce about the past. ”

Rehhagel also stood up, but there was no hint of anxiety in his expression. Still, how do I feel as if he's watching the sun rise? ”

"Haha, kind of interesting. The young coach Loew faced an experienced but slightly aging Stuttgart team. The veteran coach Rehhagel faced an energetic but slightly immature Kaiserslautern team. No wonder you'll have strong contrasts too! ”

"Indeed, between the two teams. Stuttgart is missing Elber and relies only on Bobic's words. It's hard to really threaten Lineker. On the other hand, the opponent Kaiserslautern team, the obvious upward results, the creation of a powerful attacking combination, and the steady play of the backline, so that they are not discouraged in difficult situations, and have always maintained a high level of concentration. ”

"An old Ermijian. A young and promising team, the result of this collision is worth looking forward to! ”

"It seems to have changed!"

"Well, Rehhagel won't let the passivity continue."

'Sforza switched sides, Booker came in at right midfield.

"Rehhagel took the lead in making adjustments, see how it goes!"

Home to a draw. Apparently it was not the intention of Rehhagel and his disciples.

This Kaiserslautern team has gone through enough ups and downs to get all the way to where it is now. They have put aside their forbearance plots, and do not have revenge as their real goal.

Growth, the growth of all people, is their ultimate goal!

This pure competitive spirit allows them to never wait passively when faced with difficulties. Both the players and the coach have the courage to take the initiative to change and fight against the odds.

There is nothing to fear from the opponent, there is nothing to worry about in the end, we have tried to get out of nothing, and now we are not afraid to start from scratch!

Rehhagel's adjustment, in fact, is not very remarkable.

Avoid its edge and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

But behind this adjustment is the result of his initiative to let go of his usual stubbornness and learn from his opponent, a 37-year-old young student.

It was only after fifteen years of his control that the Bremen dynasty was able to deserve its de facto name. This experience of single-handedly creating a legend surprised and amazed everyone. Later, even after a defeat at Bayern Munihe, no one doubted his ability. So, when he first came to this team, no one would think that he would let go of the idea of taking control of a qiē and start all over again.

As the team's performance gets better and better, and the record continues to improve, no one doubts that he will take the initiative to delegate power and listen carefully to the opinions of others.

And now, this qiē change turned out to be only a pure commercial promotion!

This kind of unbelievable thing has to make people sigh, the world is too impermanent!

The effect of the position adjustment is still good. At the very least, Sforza doesn't have to deal with too much defensive pressure and will have a lot more energy invested in attack.

The wing-guard versus the wing-guard, in the arrangement of troops, is similar to the first battlefield of direct confrontation in military chess. Whichever side completely overwhelms the opponent will have a subversive impact on the entire battle situation.

Balakov's strong individual ability gives him a clear advantage in the left-sided midfield position. Rehhagel has a guy who can play right midfield, and there is no guy who can wrestle with him at the moment. In this case, the right side is the main defense, and the left side is the main attack, which is a good way to solve the passive situation.

Of course, this change Rehhagel could have imagined, and Loew would not have imagined.

'Kaiserslautern has picked up in attack during this period, with a long-range shot and a header on goal, allowing the Stuttgart goalkeeper to warm up.

"Still. Loew's response seems to be more threatening! ”

"Yes, Balakov gave way to the left side of the passage and began to swim in the middle and left ribs. He alone has created more threats than the entire Kaiserslautern team. If this situation continues, Rehhagel and his disciples will have a headache! ”

"Loew's post-launch was very targeted! He saw the ambition of his opponent and did not think that blindly suppressing his opponent's strong attack would solve the problem. After the 25th minute of the match. The Stuttgart team took the initiative to retreat in formation, released the opponent, and by the way, increased the depth of their own attack, and made more use of Barakov's personal ability to constantly create threats! ”

"In terms of tactical attainment, the two are indistinguishable, but from the perspective of understanding the opponent, the young marshal surprised the old marshal!"

"Barakov cannot be restrained. The team's defence will always be in a state of flux. With 40 minutes into the game, it looked like Rehhagel was going to leave the solution to the problem at half-time. ”

"Wait!"

"Wow, a direct free-kick in such a good position?"

"Lineker beware!"

"Beautiful!"

"Perfect arc! Balakov once again scored his 21st direct free-kick in the Bundesliga in his classic fashion! ”

"No way, Lineke did his best. This kind of free kick that crosses the side of the wall and goes straight into the dead corner, when he is in his peak state, he is afraid that he is powerless! ”

"Except for the arc. And ball speed! ”

"Yes, speed is the lethal weapon!"

Intermission.

Barak was depressed to death.

this game. The old guy who was active on the right side of his side really made him feel a lot of pressure.

There is no contrast, and I really can't feel the pressure!

This Stuttgart team, with Balakov, is a grade, no. It's another notch. A guy of this level used to be his idol. Now that they met on the field, he didn't have any thoughts of paying respect.

Strong, too strong!

The most direct feeling of this strength stems from the similarities between the styles of the two.

Ballack has good technique at his feet. He has a certain breakthrough ability, has a wide field of vision, and is also a good hand in organizing attacks, as for long-range shooting, it is a unique skill!

Take a look at the opponent's table!

Breakthrough sharp, accurate ball, super ability to organize and attack, first-class ability to create chances, free kick? It's been scored!

This kind of living suppression made his confidence, which was not firm enough, even more swaying with the wind.

It was his dream to raise the level of a team by himself. Now, the huge gap made his head wooden, his mood was low, and he didn't bother to say a word.

"How do you feel when you find your goal?"

You Mo's voice sounded behind his ears, slow, lazy, echoing around when he walked out of the player's tunnel, unwilling to disperse for a long time.

"It's too strong. I didn't think about it before, but now I can't even think about it. After determining the source of the voice, Barak lowered his head, his voice muffled.

"You're ten years younger than him, why don't you dare to think about it?" Yumo approached him and put his arm around his shoulders.

"Well, you have a point, but I'm still not in a good mood." Barak sighed lightly and refused to look up.

"Have you ever tried to be a core player in a team?" You Mo lowered his voice and asked with a smile.

"Of course, I always have been!" Barak's chest was erect, and his eyes brightened, only to be covered with a bewildered light as he turned around the corner of the passage and faced the light.

"What about later?" You Mo didn't look at him, and his gaze also turned to the larger exit.

"I don't know" Barak lowered his head, no longer looking for light.

"Why?"

"You don't think you can be so perfect, right?" Barak moved his lips twice before he could barely speak.

"Do you strive for perfection? Before, now, or in the future? ”

"Nope. I've never liked anything too perfect! Barak suddenly raised his head, looked straight at the other party, raised his voice an octave, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Everyone, is a complex of contradictions. It's not particularly surprising that people like you are. Not pursuing perfection, but envying perfection. But do you really understand the story behind the perfection you see? (To be continued......)
