Grass roots glory

Chapter 283 Just in time?
Naturally, Schalke fans can't watch Bayern fans singing and dancing here to celebrate goals.Regardless of the score and victory on the field, this involves defending the dignity of the home court.

How can you allow others to make mistakes in your own home court?

The Schalke fans began to sing the Schalke team song "Blue and White I Love You" in an organized manner, several times the number of Bayern fans, and instantly suppressed the momentum of the visiting team.The singing was loud and the team flag was flying. The fans hoped to use this method to call on the players to get back to their status.Although this start, to be honest, no one is not disappointed, but the Schalke fans who were able to enter the scene to watch the game have long had a strong heart.

The team has survived the long-term failure stage, will it still accept the temporary backwardness?
What about two goals behind?The Champions League final can stage a three-goal shocking reversal, and nothing is impossible on the football field.

And Duan Xuan interpreted it from the tactical level, offering advice for Schalke to get out of the current predicament. In fact, it is one: "Zhou Tiancheng needs to make more contributions on the offensive end. Too much energy is used for defense, which will not help the current situation. .”

Due to Bayern's overall high pressure, Zhou Tiancheng could only return to his position deep in front of the penalty area to assist Kluge in defense, and then launched a counterattack after stealing, but the distance from the striker was too far away, and he frequently used the same trick against Bayern in a row. When it was too lingering——Bayern's defense against Jiang Hao today was completely entangled. Badstuber regarded himself as a burden. One can imagine that it is difficult for Jiang Hao to display his nimble movement. The connection between Zhou Tiancheng and him fails, so it doesn't make much sense for him to be on the front line.

"Felix, we are really in trouble this time, we need..." Hollerbach glanced at Fonny.

Magath kept frowning, and this situation gave him a sense of crisis.The opponent seems to have found a way to deal with Jiang Hao, so they have to find another way in the next round of the UEFA Champions League at the Allianz Arena.

But in this game, there can only be one solution.

"Old man, take Fonny to warm up."

Hollerbach gave a heroic smile.

But in fact he is not as wise as Magath.To be honest, there are not many strikers that Schalke can use at present.Only Van Nistelrooy and Edu are the only forwards who can be steadily selected into the 18-man list. Although Kuranyi is still in the team, he is basically in the shadow of the moon, a forgotten corner.

In this situation, do you dare to replace Edu, who has not played much?So Fanny is the only option.

Now it is obvious that Jiang Hao is not effective on the field. If Magath is behind by one goal, he can patiently observe the end of the first half, but if he is behind by two goals, he needs a higher offensive efficiency.

In the 38th minute, Jiang Hao replaced Van Nistelrooy.

As soon as Van Nistelrooy came on stage, he first came to Zhou Tiancheng's side: "Zhou, press up and attack, come close to me, the boss means."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled lightly: "You don't need to say, if I pass you a ball like Jiang Hao, can you get rid of your opponent?"

The purpose of Magath replacing Van Nistelrooy is to push the formation forward. Van Nistelrooy has a stronger tactical fulcrum role, but at this age, he relies more on experience and needs more support from his teammates.

Magath quickly saw the effect of this substitution. Zhou Tiancheng consciously played two-on-one with his teammates on the side, pushing his position step by step across the midfield and approaching the opponent's penalty area.At the end of the first half, Schalke played a few decent offensives, at least able to threaten goalkeeper Bout.Unfortunately Ruud van Nistelrooy played a bit late in the first half. Schalke's offense had just picked up in the first half when the referee Osluna blew the halftime whistle.

A look of regret hangs on the faces of every Schalke player, even if there are three or five minutes more.We all have a chance to score a goal!If it is 5:1, there is a great chance in the second half.

However, Van Gaal felt that the referee's whistle was like a blessing from heaven, and at the same time he praised Osluna's professionalism in his heart-saying that 1 minute of stoppage time is only 1 minute, even if it is a chance for Schalke to attack the sideline from the frontcourt. None were given.

Deep inside, Van Gaal already had a sense of crisis, and in the midfield dressing room he encouraged the Bayern players: "We must wake up, guys! Your performance in the last few minutes has to make me worry about the second half. 2:0 no A safe score, 3:0, or even 4:0 is not, only your own focus is the most reliable, if you don't want to taste the taste of the previous games, show them the facts to make them despair!"

On the other hand, Magath is very pragmatic in making tactical arrangements: "There are only 45 minutes in the second half, and we have to speed up the offensive rhythm. We should give full play to our advantages, high pressure and pressing to compete with them for the ball. We need to control the offense more , opportunities will arise.”

Just five minutes into the second half, Schalke gave everyone who supported them a glimmer of hope.Rakitic sent a corner kick, and Zhou Tiancheng rushed forward to get ahead of Van Buyten and looked back at the moon to head towards the far end of the goal.

"GOOOOOOOAL!!! - Zhou scored a goal, it's not news that he scored, but it was his first shot of the day! No shot in the first half, it must be hard to believe, right? But, it doesn't matter, Zhou's performance once again proved what a leader is! The first goal was scored! The second half has just started, listening to the cheers, Zhou's goal gave Schalke unlimited hope."

Proudly going to the Schalke Stadium, Yang Cheng suddenly jumped up from his seat like the golfers next to him. He turned his head excitedly to look at the slogan, and secretly lamented how appropriate the slogan was.

Believe in Zhou Tiancheng, you really trust Zhou Tiancheng, he will not disappoint people.Now there is half time left, it is not difficult to score a goal, right?Maybe overtaking is possible!

However, Van Gaal reacted quickly, Schweinsteiger replaced, Alaba came on, plus Tymoshchuk...Seeing that Zhou Tiancheng's activity immediately brought a price to the team, Van Gaal is glad that the team is now There is still a way out for a two-goal lead, but this momentum must be resolutely killed!

Tymoshchuk and Alaba are the two most fierce fighters.Anyway, the team's offense today relies more on the wing and striker, so Van Gaal does not feel that there is any loss when Schweinsteiger is replaced.

In the next game, Zhou Tiancheng took the ball and fell to the ground frequently, the referee gave a warning, and the team doctor entered the field.The game time was consumed minute by minute. Bayern even took the initiative to provoke the anger of the Schalke players. If there was a conflict on the field, the game time would go faster.

"I have commented on the Bundesliga for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen Bayern treat the game like this. Even if they win the ball, they will not win applause."

"In a contest related to the Bundesliga championship, the referee has the most shots. No wonder the competitiveness of the Bundesliga is seriously inferior to that of La Liga and the Premier League. Certain giants are consuming their own style."

Although Bayern's subtotals make commentators feel contemptuous, it is an accepted part of football.The local media in Gelsenkirchen discussed quietly in the commentary.They can't help but think about whether Bayern will continue to use this method in the second round of the Champions League five days later.

"They don't dare! We won't let them score first. The importance of the Champions League itself is different, and there are lessons like today."

"But what if, what if?"

"Probably not. That's the Champions League. If Bayern dares to do this, it's embarrassing to go to Europe."

"Compared with winning, shame is nothing. Everything about the winner will always be selectively forgotten."

"It makes sense! In this way, it's not a bad thing. This kind of scene came at the right time. It would be really troublesome if such a scene happened in the Champions League. There is still a way out if you lose this match in the league, but there is no such thing in the Champions League."

"Bayern is going to be doomed, this should be their biggest hole card? They played too early, haha!"
