Tianjiao midfielder

Chapter 165 Back on track ([-])

This situation made Chen Feng not expect him to be so relaxed in the frontcourt. He even felt that during the training match, his teammates pressed against him more intensely than he is now on the field, which made him feel more threatened. You must know that Schmidt emphasized the counterattack and offense in the frontcourt. Many of Leverkusen's goals last season were counterattacks in the frontcourt, but immediately scored through smooth offensive counterattacks. Take the ball and take the ball out quickly, otherwise, I would rather simply destroy the ball out of bounds than do some more dangerous moves and pass some difficult passes.

But Leverkusen is not what they imagined at all. They basically have very little press in the midfield. The combination of Bellarabi and Charhanoglu in the frontcourt is due to Bellarabi's injury and Charhanoglu's double contract problem.

Keasling has been with the team for a long time.At the age of 32 this year, he has renewed his contract with the team for another two years. Without him, it is difficult to imagine how the team moves forward.He is one of the most popular players on the team. He worked hard last season, but the effect was not very good.But when the team decided to renew his contract, the general manager of the team said: Kisling is the symbol of the team, he only belongs to the team, and the team will always be his home. "He still has a high shooting efficiency and is the striker who poses the greatest threat to the opponent's goal in the league. He is more like a point-grabbing striker. Last season, Hernandez and Kisling basically reached the top level of European teams. When people believed that they could make progress this season, Hernandez began to be ignored by Schmidt. From the average of 70 minutes per game last season, he suddenly dropped to 45 minutes per game. It became only half time.

Part of the reason for this is that Schmidt is not satisfied with Little Pea Hernandez's frontcourt pressing, and another part of the reason is because of the addition of new players in the frontcourt, such as Flanders and Leon Bailey, who has the same name as the Brazilian legend.

Especially with the joining of Flanders, Schmidt has a very high degree of reuse for Flanders. Even if the offensive personnel in the frontcourt are very crowded, even if Flanders showed a style that is incompatible with the team in the pre-season warm-up match, Schmidt has been giving Flanders a chance. This time, Kisling will be paired with Flanders, a star who was once proud of Hoffenheim fans.

Although Leverkusen did not show the ability to constantly press the frontcourt as the coach said, Leverkusen's offensive threat ability in the frontcourt is still strong enough. At the beginning, Volland would enjoy the cheers and applause of the home fans every time he touched the ball, but these soon disappeared, because Volland's breakthrough ability in the frontcourt completely threatened Hoffenheim's defense. Prevention did not cause a catastrophe.

The fans of Hoffenheim still missed the familiar sharp breakthrough of Flanders at first, but they couldn't sit still when they saw that it was Huebner who was being teased.

When Chen Feng kept taking the ball and attacking the defense in Flanders, he would immediately return to the backcourt to defend. Schroeder, who was outside the field, was a little anxious. Although he usually hoped to see the frontcourt players return to the backcourt to help defend, but Chen Feng was the core of the playmaker, and organizing the offense in the frontcourt should be his top priority. The ingenious name made it seem like Geiger was the organizer of the frontcourt, not Chen Feng.

"Are you sure it's the right thing to use Chen? I think Chen is indeed a good player and has a certain degree of personal organization ability, but after all, he has been used to the position of the midfielder for a season. Since he entered the first team, he has played in the midfielder for most of the games. Will there be players in the market? I think they'll be better."

Hearing Schroeder's words, Nagelsmann just smiled: "Isn't this more able to test Chen? You said that his current performance is caused by getting used to the midfielder. He always needs some time to get used to the position of the frontcourt organizer. Let's sit down and take a good look at the performance of the players. Before, you were always worried that the frontcourt players would not like to come back to defend. Now that Chen is so active in returning to defense, doesn't that make you less worried?"

"But..." When Schroeder wanted to say more, he could only see that Nagelsmann had turned his head and walked towards the bench, so he could only shake his head. Anyway, the head coach is not in a hurry. Why is he so anxious as an assistant coach?
Due to Chen Feng's aggressive return to defense, there was no one to fill the gap between Hoffenheim's midfield. Therefore, even if Leverkusen's pressing level in the midfield was not high, they could still get the ball relatively easily.

After a successful defense by the Hoffenheim team, the football fell to Chen Feng's feet. Amiri, who was in the backcourt, immediately asked Chen Feng for the ball. After getting the ball, Amiri turned around and took the ball to the frontcourt at high speed, completing a decent shot.

Aranguiz and Campbell did not immediately step forward to press Amiri when Amiri got the ball forward, but kept a certain distance from Amiri and always paid attention to Wagner and Kramaric behind him. Most of the time, he relied on his personal skills to play in the frontcourt. Although he scored five goals, he only got one assist, and the average number of threatening balls sent per game failed in the analysis of many media.

After seeing Amiri fall into the position of fighting alone many times, Chen Feng finally knew that he should not stop helping the defense in the backcourt. This time he was organizing the midfield and had to help the team in the frontcourt. However, Amiri had just been cut off the ball, and now he needs to help the team get the ball first.

Folland retreated to the side to get the ball again, wanting to break through on the side, Jubel immediately went back and forth to defend Flander, Chen Feng approached the side to help defend Flanders, preventing Flanders from suddenly cutting inside, after being blocked by Chen Feng on the inside, Folland had no choice, if he had to force it, it would definitely not be an easy time to play one-on-two on the outside, so he could only pass back directly to the midfield.

Chen Feng started chasing back immediately after Flanders returned the pass. While Chen Feng was running for the frontcourt, Geiger began to move closer to the middle. This is the most familiar pattern for them in the U19 team. Chen Feng goes forward and Geiger will defend the space behind Chen Feng.

When Chen Feng was chasing the ball, Amiri also immediately returned to defend Aranguis who was holding the ball. He wanted to defend Aranguis in the midfield together with Chen Feng. Geiger, pass the ball to Geiger, and then Amiri and Chen Feng start the race at the same time.

Aranguis thought about it and decided to run with Chen Feng. Geiger didn't pass the ball to Chen Feng or Amiri, but directly played a long pass to Wagner. Wagner stared at the tower's personal marking on him, and pointed the ball to the empty place in the midfield. This is the direction where Chen Feng ran. The position, Amiri has already run to the position behind him.

Amiri took the ball and went straight into the goal. Tower immediately gave up Wagner, the goal that the coach asked him to guard, and turned to defend Amiri. Amiri swung his calf, as if he wanted to shoot directly to the near corner of the goal. Tower immediately flew to block Amiri's shot direction. The moment he fell to the ground, he saw Amiri cross the ball to the middle.

When he heard the sound again, he could only hear the sound of the football hitting the net when it flew into the net, and then the cheers of Hoffenheim's home fans celebrating like a tsunami.

"GOALLL!!!! The ball went in!!! Kramaric's goal, this goal is very, very entertaining, especially Wagner, the two headers did not choose a blind attack direction, but fully played his role as a fulcrum. One point was given to Chen who was running, allowing Chen to easily distribute the ball to Rupp on the wing, and then quickly returned to the penalty area. It is very difficult to get the quality of this goal, so Wagner did not choose to head the goal, but hit the ball behind him, where Amiri has been lying in wait for a long time, and then Amiri's gorgeous personal skills in the penalty area, fake shots and real passes knocked the tower to the ground, and it is easy for Wagner or Kramaric to complete this goal in the middle!!" Kleinton tried his best to restore the picture of the goal in words.

"The perfect goal coordination, Hoffenheim's offensive organization is always so fast and exquisite, especially in this season, they were able to complete such a wonderful goal in the counterattack process. No one held the ball for more than three seconds. After double-teaming in the middle, Chen and Amiri quickly completed a kick and then counterattacked.

After seeing the goal, Nagelsmann and Schroeder clapped their hands excitedly to celebrate: "Look, I said that Chen needs a little time to adapt. His adaptability is very strong. I never doubt his ability."

This time it was Schroeder's turn to only smile, and then he learned how Nagelsmann had dealt with him before, and went straight back to the bench to sit.

Hoffenheim's bench is full of active atmosphere, but Leverkusen on the side that lost the ball is completely different. Schmidt screamed badly when he saw Tafei falling to the ground to intercept.Isn't the gate in the middle handed over, and Amiri is welcome to pass the ball to the middle?
Although very angry, Schmidt is used to it. Since this season, the team's backcourt has been making such low-level mistakes, and he has even gotten used to it. The perfect performance of the defense in that game may have made him particularly emotional.
