Chapter 386 Fighting alone
Every professional player will have a peak period in his career, but the length of this so-called "peak period" varies from person to person.

For example, Hubner in Serie A won the top scorer at the age of 35, and his peak was this season.

Like Messi and Ronaldo, at their peak...

Sitting on the bench, Sun Wu rested his chin in his hand, and watched the black player on the field showing his bright teeth and running wildly in celebration.

When doing homework before the game, Sun Wu really didn't notice this guy, the Senegalese star who later shot across the sky like a shooting star in the Premier League, Papis Cisse.

Cisse... This name is too popular, and black people look so special in Sun Wu's eyes...

Sun Wu clearly remembers that this guy scored twice in the second goal of the game against Chelsea, and beat Petr Cech with an extremely weird instep curve ball, and became the best goal of that season.

上半场第18分钟，第20分钟，3分钟之内西塞梅开二度，弗赖堡2比0领先沙尔克04。

Sun Wu is not clear. This season and half a season after the transfer to Newcastle, Cisse has played at a phenomenal level, but other periods are relatively ordinary, and the number of goals in a season generally does not exceed 10.

"Big trouble." Adam Simpson's eyes fell on Magath on the sidelines, "0 to 2 behind, and the offense is a mess. The absence of Rakitic and Best makes it difficult for Schalke 04 to organize a limited Offensively, Holtby can't play a substitute role at all."

In this game, Holtby, who started for the first time this season, appeared in the 10th position. He wanted to show too much. He insisted on dribbling and breaking through when it was time to pass the ball. He wanted to make a breakthrough after breaking through the first one. the second……

The two conceded goals were Freiburg's counterattack after stealing the ball from Holtby's feet. Cisse appeared in the penalty area like a ghost, kicking his head and kicking two goals in a row.

Magath turned back with a livid face and yelled, "Best, go warm up!"

No way?Sun Wu ran off the bench to warm up, wondering when Magath would make a substitution.

Under normal circumstances, unless it is an injury, the head coach rarely changes players in the first half. This is not only denying his own formation, but also causing irreparable damage to the replaced players.

In Sun Wu's impression, Mourinho has used this trick more than once or twice...

In the 28th minute, Magath replaced Holtby with Sun Wu.

Holtby, who was replaced, looked pale and extremely frustrated, and ran off the field with his head down. Sun Wu even saw tears glistening in the corners of the little guy's eyes.

After Sun Wu entered the field, he accepted the midfield organization and quickly stabilized the situation by running and passing the ball. However, Freiburg immediately retreated and could not defend strictly, leaving only Cisse, who had excellent personal ability, waiting in front for a sneak attack opportunity.

Without Rakitic, without Farfan, without Mandzukic...Facing the iron barrel formation, Sun Wu can't come up with too many solutions. After all, he is a team player, not the personal ability of Messi and Ronaldo. Very good player.

The first half ended with Freiburg leading 2-0.

During the intermission, Magath went into a rage in the locker room and scolded almost every player, even captain Westermann and vice-captain Neuer.

In the absence of major generals, Magath has no way to make personnel adjustments.

"Julian, don't hug the wing, go inward." Sun Wu pulled Draxler and whispered: "After passing the ball, enter the penalty area to find opportunities."

In the second half, Freiburg continued to hold out, Schalke 04 aggressively pushed up, but Westermann stayed behind and closely guarded Cisse.

In the 65th minute, Schalke 04 unexpectedly pulled back a victory.

Sun Wu played with Draxler twice in a row on the left and then suddenly took a long shot from the left rib. The ball was blocked by the Freiburg defender, but Hitzlsperger came in the middle. Great long shot.

The ball hit two Freiburg defenders in the penalty area and rebounded and changed the line. Draxler, who inserted into the penalty area, scored a goal and scored a goal.

But then, Freiburg's defense became more and more strict, and even Cisse came back to assist in the defense, and the defensive players became more and more active.

In the 75th minute, Raul was brought down from behind by the Freiburg defender outside the penalty area, and fell to the ground clutching his ankle...

Magath looked back at the bench, except for the substitute goalkeeper and Holtby who has already played, the rest are... Lukas Schmitz and Metzelder, the other two are youth team promotions Come up to make up the number!

This is called the house leakage and the continuous night rain. Sun Wu looked at this scene helplessly with his hands on his hips.

In the end Magath replaced Raul with Schmitz, allowing Draxler to play center forward.

Sun Wu admits that Draxler has the ability to play a center forward, but the problem is that when a center forward like him is on the opponent's bus...it is really not very effective.

Schmitz brought Magath's confession...to play more long shots.

It's just luck!
In the next 10 minutes, Schalke 04 made ten long shots. Under Sun Wu's conscious running and passing, Hao Junmin, Draxler, Lucas Schmitz and even Matip Both came with long shots.

But only two kicks hit the goal frame, both of which were confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper. Only Sun Wu's long-range shot was quite threatening, but it was a pity that the goalkeeper set it aside with his fingertips.

In the end, Schalke 04 lost the game on the road, and Cisse killed the game with a long-distance attack in the 87th minute.

"It's a bit disappointing, but Freiburg deserves this victory." Sun Wu said helplessly to reporters: "They performed better, whether it was offense or defense."

To be honest, even if Sun Wu started this game, the probability of winning the game is not high. Freiburg’s tactics are simple but very practical. Send the ball into the penalty area, with a center in excellent form, this tactic works very well.

More importantly, when the core players in the frontcourt of Schalke 04 were absent, the Freiburg players focused most of their attention on Sun Wu, defending him very closely, and the long-range shot at the last moment In tactics, Sun Wu relied on running positions to build a fort for his teammates, but he only got one long-range shot.

Moreover, when Sun Wu came on the field, Freiburg began to guard against death, and set up a bus in front of the goal. The starting center Raul, and later Draxler were not the kind of centers who were good at hand-to-hand combat. No matter how high Sun Wu's passing level is, he still needs space.

Standing under the stands of away fans, Sun Wu paid tribute to the fans who traveled with the team, even though they lost the game.

"The ball is conceded first, and the opponent will set the bus. It's really difficult to attack..." Draxler complained on the side.

Sun Wu shook his head lightly. How to break through the iron barrel formation is a world-class problem. Even technical teams like Barcelona and Arsenal dare not guarantee it.

But one key to breaking through the iron barrel formation is to have teammates who are good enough and have a strong understanding of tactics.

After all, Raul is old and his running ability has declined greatly. Although Draxler can run, he lacks experience.

And Lucas Schmitz, Hitzelsperger, Hao Junmin, and Uchida Atsuto are not on the same level as Sun Wu.

Sun Wu can mobilize the opponent's defense with passing and running positions, and occasional breakthroughs, but it is difficult for his teammates to find the gap and run to the correct position.

In other words, although there were Raul and Draxler in front of him, the Freiburg players used diligent running to separate Sun Wu from them. In fact, Sun Wu was fighting alone in this game. In a sense That said, the failure was justified.

Hope Cavani, Mandzukic, Farfan, Rakitic can return to the court as soon as possible...

No matter how good a player is, he needs good teammates to go further. Sun Wu understands this truth very well.

　Occasional troughs will end soon. You can’t keep winning, and the protagonists are not players like Ronaldo and Messi who can decide the game based on their personal ability.
