Chapter 397 There is a lot to do
In the stands of the Frankenstadion, the home fans were silent, only staring resentfully at the Schalke 04 fans waving blue and white flags in the corner.

But the next moment, bursts of boos broke the short silence, and the Nuremberg fans jumped up from their seats and loudly scolded the Schalke 04 player who had successfully intercepted the ball again.

"Best again!" Adam Simpson yelled. "He made another tackle... Gundogan conceded again!"

Sun Wu, who started suddenly, broke the ball with a beautiful sliding tackle. Before he could get up in time, he sat on the lawn and stabbed Draxler with his toes.

Draxler took a step and made a direct long-range shot, but the inside of his foot pushed the ball to Mandzukic who slanted to the right.

The Croatian striker took the ball into the penalty area, smashed the ball and passed it back...

Sun Wu, who got up from the ground, happened to be in place. He directly shot obliquely with his right foot. The ball passed through the defender's crotch, passed by the goalkeeper, and flew into the dead corner.

"Goooooooooooooooooooal!"

"The game only started 15 minutes ago, but with one pass and one shot by Best, Schalke 04 is already leading 2-0!"

Looking at the Schalke 04 players running wildly in celebration, Jingdong An, standing outside the penalty area, rubbed his nose vigorously. This Nuremberg playmaker is only 20 years old this year.

In this game, although Schalke 04 still had an uneven lineup, Sun Wu's homework in advance played a key role. He found that the core of Nuremberg was the later Dortmund's core organization JD.

This is a technical midfielder with solid passing, ball-handling ability and excellent vision. JD is responsible for organizing the offense in Nuremberg. In this case, Sun Wu and Magath decided to use fierce pressing and tackles to restrain JD. Ann's play.

This tactic seems ordinary, but the key is that the person who is going to force JD is Sun Wu.

Before the overhaul, Jingdong An was active in running, using running positions and passing and catching to connect the core of the team. From this perspective, Sun Wu of the same type will have a good effect on pressing him.

Only 8 minutes into the game, Nuremberg counterattacked with a counterattack from the backcourt. Sun Wu suddenly appeared beside Jingdong An and stretched out his foot to steal the ball, and then sent an overhead pass directly.

In the 15th minute, Sun Wu successfully intercepted the ball from JD's feet for the second time, and scored the long shot himself.

Magath on the sidelines finally sat back on the coach's bench. He has lost five consecutive games in all competitions. It seems that there should be no problem in this game.

With two goals in hand, Schalke 04 finally withdrew their formation a little bit. Farfan and Pekarik, the sharpest right-wingers in this game, did not start. They were replaced by the East Asian pair of Hao Junmin and Uchida Atsuto. As a result, the team's side attack is not very threatening, which is one of the reasons why Sun Wu decided to play on Jingdong'an. Once the ball is stolen, it can directly create a threat.

Although physically weak, Jingdongan's psychological quality is very strong. The Turk began to organize the offense calmly. Whether it is directing the team's offensive direction, sending threatening passes, or even going forward and cooperating with his teammates to shoot, he is quite capable.

Even if Sun Wu posts it now, Jingdongan can calmly get rid of Sun Wu's marking by cooperating with his teammates.

"Loew should consider calling JD. He is only 20 years old." Adam Simpson has a high evaluation of JD. "Think about Shaheen who is playing well in Dortmund now. That is the loss of the German national team."

But this game does not belong to Nuremberg, nor does it belong to JD.

Schalke 04, who have not tasted victory in five consecutive games, worked very hard today, especially the goal conceded in the last second of the last game, which made them all feel angry.

"Go forward!" Sun Wu yelled pointing to the right, "You are a winger, a winger, not a fullback!"

Hao Junmin showed hesitation. In the first 10 minutes, he failed to break through three times. Even Sun Wu's steal before the goal started when he broke through and was intercepted.

"Even if you can't pass, there are other ways, at least you have to be there!" Sun Wu pushed Hao Junmin hard, "Pay close attention to Mandzukic's running position, it is best to pass the ball as soon as possible."

In the 32nd minute, Sun Wu found another chance.

Nuremberg attacked in the middle, and the retreating forward Schieber could not turn around with the ball behind his back, so he had to choose to pass back.

But the return force of this foot is a bit light.

This is a "knife mountain ball".

Sun Wu's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed forward.

Jingdong An cleverly made a move to meet the ball, and then turned half-turned to protect the ball.

But Sun Wu slammed sideways unceremoniously, knocking Jingdong An into a stagger, and then Sun Wu immediately kicked the ball slightly away from Jingdong An's feet from the side and rear.

"No foul! Schalke 04's counterattack is coming!"

The boos from the stands sounded again. This season's Nuremberg record is good, and the most important contributor is Jingdong An. Sun Wu's merciless targeting is destined to be spurned by the home fans.

From the time when Pirlo retreated to play the organization's midfielder, there have been countless similar roles in European football. Some of them are unknown, and they became famous in one fell swoop. , Just like Pirlo and Gattuso.

Jingdong An is no exception. Not far from him is Simmons, who is a very tough defensive midfielder, but he has no choice but to find that in this counterattack, he has no chance to steal at all.

Sun Wu's tackle is very particular. First, he failed to bring down Jingdong'an and was sentenced to a foul. Second, although the ball flew out of bounds, the speed was not fast. Hao Junmin, who accelerated the speed, saved the ball back before it went out of bounds.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos, smart best!"

Sun Wu jumped up from the ground and advanced at high speed, but before he could reach his position, the attack was over.

Mandzukic rushed to the sidelines with open arms excitedly!

"3-0, Mario Mandzukic scored twice, Mandzukic has found his shooting boots since his last Champions League game against AC Milan!"

Hao Junmin, who was on the right side, did not choose to break through, but sent the ball to the center at the first time. This was a pretty big arc, and the ball perfectly bypassed the defender in front.

Mandzukic stopped the ball with his left foot, kicked up the penalty area line, and the ball went straight to the dead corner.

"Best's tackle, China Artemisia made a pass after saving the ball, and Mandzukic stopped the ball and shot." Adam Simpson praised, "There are three people in total, only five touches of the ball, and it took 11 seconds. The ball has appeared in the Nuremberg Stadium It's in the net."

"Of course, the most important thing is Best's tackle, which is the source of the goal. His perfect tackle pass created this counterattack. This tackle made Simmons completely unresponsive, and there was no remedy or even tactics. Possibility of foul..."

After 3 to 0, Nuremberg had no hope. Although JD.com was still running hard, a playmaker needed the cooperation of his teammates if he wanted to perform well, and Schalke 04 still did not stop.

In the 68th minute of the second half, Hewedes, who made a mistake at the end of the last game, scored with a header from a corner kick.

In the 82nd minute, Sun Wu cut in from the ribs and made a cross pass. Hitzelsperger kept the ball and made a strong long shot and was saved by the goalkeeper. Mandzukic made a supplementary shot to complete the hat-trick.

In the end, Schalke 04 swept Nuremberg 5-0 in the away game, sweeping away the bad luck of September.

After the game, Sun Wu and Jingdongan exchanged jerseys. He intends to partner with the Turkish midfielder, but the team already has Rakitic, and Jingdongan is absolutely unwilling to come to Schalke 04 as a substitute.

Looking at Mandzukic who was interacting with the fans who were traveling with the team in the stands, Sun Wu thought to himself that he was finally on the right track, and when Rakitic and Cavani returned from injury, they could use their medical insurance cards...

Schalke 04 has a lot going for it this season.
