Chapter 415 The Uncoordinated Mandzukic
"In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Schalke 04 challenged Partizan Belgrade away. Here is the Xinlan video live broadcast. Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu will provide commentary and commentary for everyone."

Zhan Jun quickly reported the starting rosters of the two teams, "Partizan Belgrade's starting lineup has not changed, while Schalke 04's Sun Wu came back after the suspension, Raul started from injury, and the other injured Striker Cavani is on the bench."

"But Rakitic still failed to make a comeback. According to the information disclosed on Schalke 04's official website, Rakitic sprained his ankle after recovering from his injury this time. He may not be able to make a comeback until December." Zhang Lu added on the side : "But fortunately, Sun Wu has come back, and Mandzukic's feet are overwhelming."

"In this season's Champions League, Schalke 04 is a bit like last season's Inter Milan. All three games in one round were tied, and only three points have been accumulated so far. If you want to qualify, you must win this game!"

Zhan Jun looked down at the information, "In the last round of the Bundesliga, players from the three East Asian countries performed well in Germany. In this game, Magath sent all three East Asian players to the field. In addition to Sun Wu, Atsuto Uchida made a guest appearance. Left back, Hao Junmin at right back, let's see... OK! The game is on!"

It was clear that both Schalke 04 and Partizan Belgrade were trying to win the game, and the game started with a head-to-head attack.

One wants to compete for the right to qualify, and the other is thinking about playing in the Europa League. Both think that the opponent is the easiest target to score points.

if not?Do you want to go to Mourinho and Allegri for points?
In the minds of the media, fans and even the players and coaches of both sides, Schalke 04 and Partizan Belgrade are the two weakest in the death group...

But Sun Woo doesn't see it that way!
Today's Schalke 04 is qualified to stand on the same line with Real Madrid and AC Milan, while Partizan Belgrade is at least two grades weaker!
"Wonderful long shot! Neuer saves Schalke 04!"

"Oh, Savage's header...he beat Mandzukic again, this time in the post!"

"Matip, who was thrown away by Savage...hahaha! He actually kissed the goalpost hard!"

"Schalke 04's counterattack, another Best...accurate long pass! Draxler...Mandzukic shot from a long distance, this shot is weak!"

It's really not good if you don't move forward!Sun Wu glanced at Hitzelsperger. This tough midfielder was very mediocre after moving forward, and he had nothing to show except for a long shot.

"Thomas!" Sun Wu pulled Hitzelsperger and said in a low voice: "Stand in a good position, and leave the horizontal sweep to the captain to make room for me."

Hitzlsperger heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded quickly. To be honest, he himself didn't want to move forward frequently, which was not what he said he was good at.

There is no work under his feet, and he is not good at cooperating with his teammates. He is at least two grades weaker than Rakitic. The most important thing is that Hitzlsperger has difficulty finding space in the counterattack. !
And among all the teammates, Sun Wu and Hitzelsperger have the least connection. He is afraid that the other party will covet his beauty...

However, Mandzukic was too anxious!

"Mario!" Sun Wu roared loudly, stretched out his hand and pressed down, signaling not to worry.

Three minutes later, Mandzukic made a pass back in the middle, but there was a post-up single. After shaking continuously, he shot a long-range shot. The ball flew high over the crossbar, causing the home fans in the stands to give him applause.

Sun Wu, who had already advanced and ran out of position, kicked a piece of exposed turf away with force, and forced himself to restrain his anger and walked towards Mandzukic.

Magath on the sidelines waved his hand angrily, took a breath and prepared to use a "hair dryer". This skill is not patented by Ferguson, every coach knows it.

But Sun Woo is ahead of him.

"Mario, you are the striker, responsible for scoring goals, and I am the midfielder, responsible for passing the ball." Sun Wu tried his best to put a smile on his face, "Are you afraid that I will not pass the ball?"

Seeing that this guy didn't speak, Sun Wu simply spoke clearly, "No matter who is standing in front of me, I will try my best to send the most suitable pass, whether it is you Mario or Edinson!"

Seeing that the guerrillas had already delivered a goal kick, Sun Wu stopped talking and turned to run away, thinking about the chances of Cavani playing... In the last game against Leverkusen, Cavani only played for 5 minutes at the end. How is it coming out.

In the 23rd minute, Partizan Belgrade, who had been attacking wildly, finally scored a goal. It was still a corner kick, or Savage...

This 185cm central defender has an excellent sense of position. He cleverly shook off Matip, stretched his head before Westerman, and the ball changed course and flew into the far corner. At such a short distance, Neuer also powerless.

After leading 1-0, the Belgrade Partizans immediately returned to the defensive bus, and Schalke 04 began to press heavily against Magath's angry roar, but the effect was very mediocre.

The Belgrade Partizans allowed their opponents to pass the ball arbitrarily from 30 meters away, but once they entered the 30-meter area, the partisans would surround and destroy the ball with fierce crowds. Grid and Draxler repeatedly made pass errors.

At this time, Sun Wu missed Ivan Rakitic more than ever.

Under the signal of Magath, Uchida Atsuto and Hao Junmin also began to advance significantly, trying to find a breakthrough from the side. Farfan and Hao Junmin repeatedly sent high-quality crosses.

But Mandzukic either missed his position, or was blocked by the opponent, or even directly moved Savage down and then pushed and scored... The referee whistled for a foul, for which Mandzukic was still unconvinced and applied for a yellow card.

"Mandzukic looks very impatient. This is not a problem of ability, but a problem of mentality." Zhang Lu said very puzzled: "He also staged a hat-trick in the last round of the Bundesliga. What's wrong?"

"In this game... at least in the first half, Mandzukic played very averagely. He rarely cooperated with Draxler, who likes to cut inside, and Sun Wu, who likes to go forward." Zhan Jun pointed out the key point, "You must know that Mandzukic Although he is good at heading the ball and is an excellent center forward, he is not the kind of standing center forward, and the way of scoring goals does not only come from scoring goals after crosses from the wing."

In the 42nd minute, Farfan cut the pass and was destroyed by the opponent's defender, but Mandzukic completed a counter-robber on the line of the penalty area.

Knowing that there are at least two defenders behind him this time, Mandzukic did not choose to turn around forcibly, but passed the ball back, and then moved laterally to insert into the penalty area.

The Croatian thought very well, his teammate picked a pass, and he successfully countered offside...

But no one is a fool. After receiving the return pass, Sun Wu made a pick pass, but he could see clearly that the opponent's central defender had already retreated to catch up with Mandzukic.

Mandzukic himself found out, turned around and waved vigorously to complain that Sun Wu did not pass the ball in time...

"Pass back...Sun Wu took the ball, beautiful!"

Sun Wu paused for a moment, then suddenly poked the ball with his toe, and the ball flew to the other side of his ribs, and Farfan, who was retracted, rushed out like lightning and slammed the ball into the penalty area!

At this time, Mandzukic, who was full of complaints, turned around and was about to grab a point, but it was too slow!
Out of the corner of Farfan's eye, he saw that Mandzukic was not in position, and he finally chose to hit the goal from a small angle!
"Farfan... shot, oooh, Raul Gonzalez again, the Lord of the Rings scored again in the Champions League!"

When Mandzukic turned back to complain, Raul from outside the penalty area had quietly appeared at the back point.

When Farfan chose to hit the goal vigorously, Raul was not disappointed but accelerated his pace.

In the end, Raul knocked the ball into the goal with his knee before Savage made a clearance, and fell into it himself.

Sun Wu glanced at Mandzukic, and ran to Raul who was celebrating.

What is this called?
This is called "self-inflicted evil, not to live."

There was an element of surprise in this goal. If you follow the usual routine on the training ground, the goal should be a matter of course.

Farfan cut the ball in from the side and entered the small penalty area. Mandzukic, who was running, should appear near the penalty spot and wait for the inverted triangle to pass back...

But Mandzukic stopped to complain...
