112 Butcher
The snowflakes of goose feathers falling in the morning stopped silently, but the white city of Kaiserslautern was empty, from Otterbach Straße to Wilberstraße, to Rosen Strasse, and finally to Parisslautern Street, it was difficult to see a single person in the entire urban area of Kaiserslautern.
Doors and windows were locked in every house, and the snow covered them out.
If someone had been standing in mid-air and listening, he would have heard the shouts of the narrator on the television, the cheers of the stadium on a 40-metre-high hill, and the cheers of excitement coming from every house.
On Saturday afternoon, the whole city was kidnapped by football! Coming up from Logan Street, along the winding hill road to Fritz, in front of the Walter Stadium, there were no empty spaces in the parking lot, except for a few security guards in heavy down jackets listening to the radio in the corner, no one could be seen, but everyone could be heard! The Walter Stadium is a sea of red rage! In the stands, you can see everywhere those Kaiserslautern fans with oil paint on their faces and hideous expressions, who have turned themselves into demons and are willing to give up everything they have to drag Bayern to hell! The fans who follow Bayern Munich to the away stadium are undoubtedly miserable, because they have become driftwood in this vast ocean, and they have no ability to change the direction of the sea except to go with the flow. They were very surprised to find that in this stadium, it was the fans of Kaiserslautern who dominated! It's the same as the frustration of the fans, on the pitch, Bayern's players are also depressed to find that "it is Kaiserslautern's players who dominate the game, and they can only resist passively, resisting wave after wave, like an angry wave crashing on the shore." From the first minute of the game, Kaiserslautern used his way of playing to get the game into a familiar rhythm, and they were able to quickly "speed up the ball as soon as it got into the heart of Bayern; But they can also be slow, and once the attack fails, the ball is immediately passed back and reorganized. And Bayern was very depressed to find that "they can only passively resist, follow Kaiserslautern's fast and fast, follow Kaiserslautern's slow and slow" They can't control their rhythm at all, they can't control the football at Kaiserslautern's feet.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, Larsson, Denilson, Veron, Schneider, Ballack, these six players in the midfield with tireless running and interspersed with cooperation, mobilizing Bayern's defense, finding out the flaws in Bayern's backline, and using them to "create opportunities again and again." The backline of Lizarazu, Kufuor, Helmer and Babel has to struggle again and again with the tidal wave of Kaiserslautern attacks, and they are under tremendous pressure because if they make a mistake in judgment, Kaiserslautern can create chances that can be converted into shots that threaten Bayern's goal. It was a group of players who attacked to an almost frenzied level, and Trapattoni's survival was so devastated by Kaiserslau's knee attack that even players such as Elber in the forward line had to retreat to defence. "What is the best defense in offense? Take a look at Kaiserslautern's performance, they "almost perfectly interpret this sentence with their actions!" Even the on-site commentators had to marvel at Kaiserslautern's performance after the opening.
Without any fancy tricks, without any superfluous processes, from the first minutes of the game, Kaiserslautern starters had only one goal: "attack!" Goal!! Every attack, every pass" in Kaiserslautern "always drew cheers from the fans in the stands, and cheers from countless fans in the Kaiserslautern city who were watching the game in front of the TV in the living room of their homes!" Yang Cheng and Trapattoni are both standing on the sidelines, one of them is 8 years old, the other is in the age of youth, the other is crying, they are the golden age of professional coaches, they seem to be old and serious, but they are all the same serious, the same concentration on the game. In this game, Trapattoni was well aware of the difficulty of Fritz and Walter Stadium, so he discharged two excellent defensive players in the midfield, Fink and Sterenz, Nelinger on the left and Sauer on the right both retracted to protect the wing, and Elber on the forward line also retreated to participate in the defense, leaving a Yankel in front.
Kosch's injury and absence made Trapattoni more comfortable using Yankel, but what he didn't expect was that Yang Cheng started with another central defender in this game, and the Brazilian central defender quickly let Yankel, a tall, strong, muscular, and powerful German center forward, understand what it means to be tough. Lucio, whether in terms of defensive skills or from the point of view of consciousness, is not comparable to Kosch for the time being, the German has a lot of experience against German center forwards, so Yankel has no problem as soon as he touches him, but Lucio does not, but he has something that belongs to him and Kosch does not have. That's his body! The strong clash between Lucio and Yankel, the two strong men in the Bundesliga, is definitely enough to detonate the whole game, and what is even more rare is that both players belong to the kind of fierce and vicious muscular men, which makes the competition between them like a Hollywood hardcore action movie, hot and fierce.
Without exception, in this kind of strong dialogue, Lucio's body is more dominant, his speed is faster, his body is more flexible, and his technique is better, and Yankel is completely inferior in the battle with Lucio. Freezing Jankel, coupled with Kaiserslautern's forward pressure, exerted tremendous pressure on the offensive end, and Gattuso and Kehl teamed up to cut off the connection between Bayern's forward line and the midfield, Elber had to retreat to respond, and Bayern's attack could not play at all. Kaiserslautern, on the other hand, looked light and solid defensively, allowing the team to devote themselves to attacking.
"He can't believe that not only did you not choose a balanced tactic, but you also acted even more crazy than you did three days ago, almost without any consideration for defense, and you didn't want to attack! Paul Beyer was pleased with Kaiserslautern's dominant performance and praised it convincingly. If you look at it offensively, Kaiserslautern's offensive power this season is not only second to none in the Bundesliga, but even in Europe, it is definitely among the top ranks, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Larsson are very efficient scorers, and players such as Denilson, Veron, Schneider, Nedved, Ballack, Salihamidzic, Deco, Deisler and other players can provide a steady stream of opportunities for the forward line. As a result, "Kaiserslautern's attack can definitely make any team scareless." The offensive routine of this game is slightly different from the previous game, Yang Cheng emphasizes patience more, as well as the change of offensive means, requiring players to run more, whether it is the forward retreat" or the forward insertion of Ballack, Veron, Schneider, Denilson and others, are required to have more cooperation. With more cooperation, the offense is no longer a direct contest between the forward line and the Bayern backline" always avoids the importance of mobilizing Bayern's defense, forcing them to expose their flaws and take advantage of them, which increases the difficulty of Bayern's defense. It's like this time, when Schneider gets the ball on the right, he goes sideways to the middle, "Larsson is running from the middle to the right, and Kufuor and Lizarazu are in trouble, so in the face of this back-and-forth running, should they stick to their position?" Or do you want to keep an eye on that player? Schneider made a gesture to pass the ball, and both Kufuor and Babbel rushed to block Larsson, but Schneider suddenly sent the ball forward gently, and Ballack slashed out of the diagonal stab, directly cutting the gap left by Kufuor, and in the narrow gap, "the ball was greeted with a powerful volley." The ball bounced out of Ballack's feet like a cannonball, almost in the blink of an eye, and Kahn reacted, but couldn't, "luckily he heard a bump and the ball hit the crossbar" and bounced off.
Everyone was shocked by this, but Schneider, who was outside the penalty area, judged the landing point of the ball in advance, knocked the ball directly to the left without stopping, and transferred it to Veron, who had already come up on the left side, who volleyed the ball forward. As Bayern's defense rested on the left, Denilson on the left got a chance after the penalty area and curled a ball. Karn got up from the ground, stretched out his right hand vigorously, and almost tapped the ball with his middle finger, and then saw the ball hit the crossbar in the upper right corner of the goal.
Falling into the penalty area, Kaiserslautern's two strikers rushed in, Bayern's four or five defenders also squeezed in, and the whole penalty area was in chaos, first Ruud van Nistelrooy took advantage of the chaos to hit Helmer's body, and finally Veron's shot was too positive and was directly confiscated by Kahn. It was a long process, but it happened in an instant, with Kaiserslautern having four shots on goal, each of which pushed Bayern to the point of exhaustion, and each time was within striking distance. Four shots in a row failed to hit, and Veron and other players walked back with a look of chagrin on their faces, waiting for Kahn to serve the goal kick. "It's okay, keep up with the status quo and press on!." Yang Cheng shouted on the sidelines, but his hands kept exchanging hands, telling the players on the field not to blindly hit the same place, and try to suddenly change the attack point. It's like that time, the ball suddenly came from the feet of Schneider on the right, passed through Veron's kick, and came to the feet of Denilson on the left, who completed the shot, it was very sudden, if it wasn't for Kahn's performance too well, if it wasn't for Denilson's shot too much angle, maybe the ball would have been there! Compared with Yang Cheng's confidence, Trapattoni was frequently roaring on the sidelines, especially when the Bayern players were caught by Kaiserslautern four shots in the penalty area in one go, which was absolutely not allowed in his opinion! You know, Trapattoni's defensive focus is to limit Kaiserslautern's attacking space and not give them the opportunity to shoot easily, but just now, Bayern's entire defensive system was messed up. Bayern's defensive strength must not be ignored because of this, after all, the players have to make judgments in a moment, especially in the face of strong offensive pressure, they must not be as tacit as usual, and it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes. With his previous experience, Kaiserslautern played more calmly next, and the team's attack was like a flowing cloud, and he was happy to "Regardless of whether he was on the left, right or in the middle, as soon as he saw a loophole, he would desperately hit the hole, and from time to time he would make a shift, playing smoke bombs that were pointing east and west." Bayern's defense is about strict order, and Trapattoni's Italian defense requires as little as possible to hit the ugly area, and in order to do this, Trapattoni even played two defensive midfielders in this game.
But when the strict order meets the random attack, it suddenly seems extremely passive and embarrassed. In the 29th minute, Kaiserslautern launched a counterattack after breaking the ball at the back, Veron made a long diagonal pass in the middle, which went directly to the unguarded right Lizarazu to support the attack, leaving a large gap behind him, and Larsson grabbed the ball before the Bayern defender. Defending the ball near the touchline, it was knocked back to Schneider, who stepped forward to receive the ball again, and Ballack ran to receive the ball, but it was sent to the right corner of the box at 45 degrees. Larsson, who had already run from the sideline, received the ball and went into the penalty area, but Kufuor pressed him to the ground and didn't give him a chance to face Kahn directly, so he could only make a sudden stop and cross to the middle. Ruud van Nistelrooy leaned against Helmer, his feet were long and stopped the ball, but his teammates around him seemed to be restrained by Bayern's defenders, and in a split second he decided to do it himself. But just as he was about to turn around and hit the goal, he suddenly noticed a player in a red jersey rushing from the backfield, and he couldn't see clearly in a hurry, but he made a gesture that everyone often cooperated with in training. Vanney almost squeezed his body towards Helmer and the ball was gently sent away from his feet, but the whole person ran to the left, looking like he was taking the ball and turning around, ready to hit the goal. This feint tricked not only Helmer but even Karn, and his center of gravity shifted to the left. But at this moment, everyone was surprised to find that after receiving the ball, a red figure stopped the ball in an unusually awkward posture, and then gently sent it into Bayern's goal. Karn sensed something was wrong, but by the time he reacted and made another save, it was too late. This shot was too angle-oriented, as if the person who shot the goal was extremely lacking in confidence, so the shot seemed a little weak, but because Kahn was deceived by Ruud van Nistelrooy, his reaction was also slow, and he could only watch this weak shot roll into Bayern's goal. “lllll!”。
"In the 30th minute, Kaiserslautern broke the deadlock on the pitch first!." "It was Gattuso, the Italian youngster, who scored the leading goal, and it was also the first goal of the full-time defender since joining Kaiserslautern, and it was a veritable first goal of his career!" It's hard to believe, this is definitely the most shocking fact, because many people speculated that Kaiserslautern would be able to score, but they definitely didn't expect it to be Gattuso! "Ruud van Nistelrooy, Larsson, Ballack, the three players who have scored the most goals this season have all appeared on the pitch, but no one would have thought that the first to help Kaiserslautern score was Gattuso, who has never scored in the professional league!" ”。 Not only was the on-site commentators amazed, but even the Kaiserslautern players were amazed, because Gattuso had never scored, and it would not be surprising to say that he had scored a bird-dragon goal, but he did score a goal that could have been the winner, which was nothing short of a miracle! "Haha, you stinky boy, you actually played and suddenly plugged in!." However, the players were very excited to score, and they all pounced on Gattuso, who was still full of disbelief. "It's so muddy, you fish seller, you finally scored! Gattuso stood stunned, one of his few advances this season and the first of the game. "Yes......... It was the boss who told me to step forward!. "Gattuso was surrounded in the middle by his teammates, and even this time, he thought it was incredible." Chief?. "The players were taken aback. Yang Cheng has been improving Gattuso's attacking ability, which is well known, because he feels that as Kaiserslautern's pressing tactics mature, Gattuso's full-time defender is too wasteful, and he wants to be able to get Gattuso more involved in the attack, preferably as soon as he grabs the ball. But the Italian seems to be a defensive genius, but he is an out-and-out stupid talent in attack, and he has not made any progress in half a season, but he didn't expect to score in this game! "The boss just now frequently signaled me to participate in the attack more, I didn't think much about it, I saw that there were Bayern players staring at you, and there was a flaw in the middle, and it was our side that controlled the ball, so I ran forward, and this run ran into the penalty area!" Gattuso chuckled stupidly. Everyone almost collapsed after hearing this, should this be said that this kid is stupid? Yang Cheng also looked directly on the sidelines, and the feeling of scoring goals was very cool, but as the head coach, he thought more.
"Gattuso can't afford to beat him to death, but I think we can increase the number of times he is involved in the attack, such as participating in the offensive coordination, or even directly participating in the goal! Moniz and Mulenstin looked at each other, and both smiled wryly, because they both knew very well how difficult it was to get Gattuso to practice his technique, this kid seemed to be insulated from his skills by nature, but he was also a boring guy, and no one could let him practice a simple stop action for half an hour like Vanney. "His football is very simple, the technique is enough for him, so I also think that your arrangement is the best for him, because he is a pure butcher! Moniz said with a laugh. Yang Cheng remembered Gattuso's character and couldn't help but wonder! (To be continued.)
