Chapter 492
On the last day of February, Schalke 2 ushered in Nuremberg at home, Sun Wu lifted the ban and came back to start the game.

When Sun Wu was the last one to come out of the player tunnel, the home fans of the Veltins Arena welcomed his comeback with roaring shouts. This was the first time Sun Wu appeared at home after the Ruhr Derby.

While becoming the most hated object of the Dortmund people, Sun Wu has also become the most welcomed and admired one by the Schalke people.

Sun Wu, who is leading the little fans, doesn't seem to have the domineering posture on the field at all. His sunny smile makes it hard to think of what he did in the Ruhr Derby...

Hummels blatantly attacked, saying that Sun Wu played the role of a despicable conspirator in the Ruhr Derby. !

"The game has started. Sun Wu unexpectedly appeared in the position of the midfielder today, and he was still a single midfielder. He played in this position temporarily in the Champions League match a week ago." Duan Xuan first reported the starting lineup after talking about the key points.

"Neuer guards the goal, Pekarik, Hewedes, Milito and Matip form the defense, Sun Wu plays with Rakitic and Firmino in midfield, Cavani, Farfan and Deutschland Laxler formed the trident."

"The history of modern football is always inseparable from one word, injury." Tao Wei looked down at the data, "Since his comeback a few years ago, Sun Wu has never been troubled by injuries, but this season's Schalke 04 other players There have been many injuries, among which Cavani and Rakitic, the absolute main players, have been injured for a long time, and other players have also suffered more or less injuries.”

"Now it's time to grab points. Schalke 04 is short of manpower in the defensive midfielder position. Westerman has not yet returned from injury. Jones and Hitzlsperger have strained their thighs in training."

"The most critical problem is the defense. Fuchs and Atsuto Uchida are both injured. Hewedes had to play left back and let Matip return to the center back. This directly led to Sun Wu dropping back to play at the back. Waist." Tao Wei was quite puzzled by Lannick's decision, "In fact, everyone knows that Sun Wu's strength lies in offense, and he is not good at defense..."

On the court, Sun Wu didn't have much dissatisfaction with playing the midfielder. After all, he was only a cameo, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart. Is the injury contagious like the epidemic... It hasn't stopped for half a season !

That is to say, Rakitic and Cavani used their medical insurance cards. If they were also injured, they would cry without tears!

The position of single midfielder brought freshness to Sun Wu, but it also brought him a sense of oppression. If Nima was broken through, he would have to face "unreliable" directly... If it wasn't for Papadop Ross is better, Lannick will never use Matip.

The so-called freshness immediately brought changes to Schalke 04.

In the 18th minute, through a series of passes, Nuremberg poured the ball out from the backcourt, and Schalke 04's high press failed to have an effect.

Jingdongan's wonderful running position made Firmino and Rakitic return without success. The Turk pulled the ball with his feet and turned around Firmino, and then sent the ball obliquely.

"Transfer... oh, Best steals the ball!" Adam Simpson shouted: "Wonderful prediction! This is Best's strong point!"

Sun Wu had already seen the loopholes. Hewedes pressed the high position and had no time to return to the defense. Naturally, JD would not let this opportunity go, so Sun Wu moved quietly and easily successfully intercepted the ball.

Although there is a lot of space in front of him, Sun Wu didn't dribble... The speed of passing the ball is always faster than the speed of dribbling!
After passing through to Draxler, Sun Wu speeded up and ran to the left to pull away a defender.

Seeing Sun Wu's running position, Rangnick on the sidelines nodded slightly, and then went to look at Rakitic. The Croatian did not speed up but stayed in the middle to respond, and secondly, to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.

Draxler dribbles the ball in small steps, accelerates after continuous feints and suddenly steps back with the sole of his foot. Firmino barely takes a long shot with his left foot from outside the penalty area. After the ball is saved by the goalkeeper, Cavani sprints at high speed Opened the scoring for Schalke 04 with a shovel shot.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"It's a Uruguayan striker again! Schalke can forget about Mandzukic!" Adam Simpson praised: "Cavani is the player with the most goals in the Bundesliga since entering 2011. He only scored one goal in the first half of the season, but Now he has scored 8 goals, scoring goals in almost every game..."

"Haha, very similar to Mandzukic in the first half of the season!"

If Mandzukic heard this sentence, he would definitely be pissed off.

This season's Nuremberg is very similar to Mainz led by Tuchel. It is a dark polo team in the Bundesliga, but its style is different. With Jingdong An's excellent organizational midfielder, Nuremberg's organizational ability is very strong... Specifically, they have the opportunity to break Schalke 04's high press!
Of course, this has something to do with Schalke 04 not fully adapting to this set of tactics.

In stoppage time in the first half, Rakitic took a corner kick and Matip scored a header from the back post to expand the score to 2-0.

It seems that the overall situation has been settled. In fact, Schalke 04 did win the game, but the situation in the second half... Sun Wu once again became the focus, but this time it is not a good thing!
The head coach of Nuremberg, Hei Jin, is a powerful coach in the Bundesliga. During the intermission, he made a very targeted deployment for Sun Wu, the midfielder.

In the second half, Nuremberg's offense...especially the counterattack often used breakthroughs instead of passes. Even Jingdong An passed Sun Wu twice.

Sun Wu's frontal defense ability is too weak, well, this is his weakness...

In the 67th minute, Nuremberg striker Eigler retreated to take the ball, and Sun Wu suddenly stretched his legs without warning... He was still five or six meters away from the opponent!

"This is being attacked..." Tao Wei said nervously: "There was no physical contact. Could there be another fan throwing objects?"

"Isn't it possible?" Duan Xuan wondered: "This is in the middle of the stadium. If the fans can throw it so far, is it accurate?"

Rangnick on the sidelines gritted his teeth and suppressed a smile, and finally covered his face with his hands... Rolf and Slomka beside them both lowered their heads and sat back on the coach's bench holding back the urge to laugh wildly.

To put it mildly, Sun Wu's defense is the embodiment of tactics and observation ability, but to put it mildly... it is guessing!
Tsk tsk, some people rely on their eyes to defend, while Sun Wu's defense depends on guessing!
Predict the opponent's passing route, make actions at the moment the opponent passes the ball, and launch a counterattack immediately after stealing the ball... This is a scene that often appears on the Schalke 04 training ground in recent days.

But the problem is that if this kind of prediction is correct, it will be a blessing, if the prediction is wrong, it will be... funny, okay?

Lannick persuaded and persuaded several times, but this is actually quite an amateur defensive idea!

But Sun Wu insisted on his own ideas... Also, he has the big killer of "God's perspective"!

It is a pity that the clever Sun Wu forgot that just because he can see it does not mean that others can also see it... The "others" refers to the opponent.

Sun Wu, who spread his legs apart and made a very unrefined movement, looked at Aigle resentfully, what a mess, your teammate Jing Dongan has already advanced and ran out of space, why don't you pass the ball! ! !
The referee also ran over to ask, and Sun Wuqian got up with a smile and explained that his foot slipped...
