Chapter 73

On March 3, Bochum played an away game against Hertha Berlin, currently ranked number one in the Bundesliga Bundesliga.

Hertha Berlin has been in the Bundesliga since the 1997-1998 season, and did not fall to the Bundesliga until the end of the 09-10 season.

However, in the 10-11 season, they won the Bundesliga Championship and returned to the Bundesliga, but last season, they ranked No.

In general, the current strength of Hertha Berlin should be regarded as a goalkeeper in the Bundesliga, so Bochum dare not underestimate it-even if they defeated Stuttgart in the German Cup before, there were many accidental factors in that game, which does not mean that they can really challenge the Bundesliga team.

Amidst the cheers and cheers of the home fans, Hertha Berlin served.

They are strong in themselves—otherwise, they would not be far ahead of second-placed Brunswick, sitting firmly in the first position in the league, plus it is their home court, so they tried to take the lead in one go at the beginning, and then they played steadily to take all three points.

However, Bochum's defense has stabilized after several games, so under the attack of Hertha Berlin, they did not lose points.

At 8 minutes, after the Hertha Berlin players found that they could not break through Bochum's goal quickly, they also slowly slowed down their rhythm and began to look for opportunities backwards.

Neuluerer also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. If he falls behind at the beginning, then this game will be difficult to play, but fortunately he defended.

Five minutes later, Shen Peng received a pass from his teammate near the center circle, and then looked at the positions of Glashvili and Scheidhauer. He found that their positions were not good, even if they passed the ball, it was useless, and the razor pass was different from the vulture shot.

After Grezka received the ball, there was no good way, and then he passed it to Ortega in front. Ortega tried a long shot without finding the point of exit, but missed it and flew out of the baseline.

An attack in Bochum was thus disintegrated.

Shen Peng ran back quickly. In the attack just now, he actually had a good place to pass to, but according to the position just now, even if he passed, no one could respond.

He frowned slightly. In the situation just now, if it were Dedic, he would run in that direction, right?

He now feels that no matter how good the pass is, it won't help if there is no good striker to catch the ball.

In the next 10 minutes, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war again, but both sides seemed to be very patient and kept getting involved in the midfield.

The turning point appeared at No.203 minutes.

Hertha Berlin's left midfielder En Jiang dribbled the ball directly past Bochum's right back Rottenbach, and then kicked a cross.

Generally, Bochum is not too afraid of passing the ball, because there is a tall central defender Fabian, but the height of the ball does not seem to be too high.

Just as Shinjewicz was about to clear the ball, his eyes suddenly turned and he saw a black striker on the opposite side suddenly come out. In front of him, he directly stretched out a foot, flicked the ball, and the ball was directly hoisted into the goal in the air.

One to zero, the home court suddenly fell into cheers.

Neuluerer remained silent, this ball is not a tactical problem, it is purely a performance of the player's strength.

Shen Peng looked at the person who scored the goal. This person is Colombian striker Ramos. He is good at speed.Although according to the data before the game, they were already consciously guarding against this person, but as long as they let go a little bit, he would seize the opportunity.

There is only one such person in Bochum now!

Although one goal behind, but Bochum did not mess up here, but continued to play.They are not defensive counterattacks. It is normal to fall behind by one goal. After all, as long as there are goals in the game, there will always be a team leading.

The game continued, and Bochum's chance appeared after 6 minutes.

Perhaps it was a loophole in the opponent's defense. This time, Scheiderhauer's position was very good. Shen Peng saw the opportunity and directly passed the ball with a razor. The ball bypassed Hertha Berlin's defender and came to Scheiderhauer's feet accurately.

Scheiderhauer held his head, looking a little frustrated.

Shen Peng didn't expect that the ball could be missed. Even if he made the ball by himself, he felt that he could score it easily.

Bochum had another chance for the rest of the first half, but still missed the mark until halftime.

In the locker room, Neuluerer did not say anything to blame, but carefully analyzed the situation on the court.

"You have also seen that now our opponents have learned to defend against your long ball attack, so you can't keep trying to score goals in the same way. In the second half, Ortega, Grezka, Fryer, the three of you can properly attack when attacking."

"But coach, in this case, what if the attack fails and the opponent counterattacks?"

"If things go on like this, we can't win, and if Ramos has another chance, the score will reach [-]-[-], and we have no chance. If you all look for opportunities to attack, Shen Peng can also get more pass points."

Neuluerer said that as a coach, he naturally knows that the current team's midfield and backcourt are all good, but the striker is lacking. Shen Peng's wonderful pass before being replaced by a slightly stronger forward has all entered.

And it's not yet the transfer period, so he has no choice but to play forward with the current lineup.

Suddenly, he remembered Shen Peng's trial training at the beginning of January this year.

"Mr. Coach, please give me another chance!"

"I only need one chance. If I fail again, I will leave immediately."

……

Now he is very glad that Shen Peng was kept at that time. If it were not for Shen Peng, the team would probably still be fighting for relegation, and they would retreat and defend against Hertha Berlin.
Moreover, he gradually discovered that the current team can lack anyone, but Shen Peng is indispensable.

Shen Peng not only has a strong assist ability, but also plays a huge role in defense. He can be regarded as the heart of the current team.

"Shen Peng, in the second half, a few of them will attack at the right time, and the rest depends on you." Neuluerer said.

"Okay." Shen Peng nodded. He knew what Neuluerer meant. He was not afraid of passing the ball, but he was afraid that no one would pick it up. Moreover, when the other midfielders went up to attack, he had to bear more midfield pressure.

After a 15-minute break, the second half of the game ushered in.
