Chapter 170 Steps Forward ([-])
"Oh, the ball was offside?" When the referee blew the whistle, Hoffenheim's bench was full of wailing. Originally, the offensive advantage of 4V4 in the frontcourt was very difficult to happen in a game, let alone it happened twice in a short period of time. They were all looking forward to the first goal, but unexpectedly heard the referee's whistle.

"Chen's position in today's game is quite good. He has all the positions he should be in. It's just that it would be better if the timing and grasp of the passing are bigger. Just now such a good passing opportunity was not able to grasp it, and it seemed difficult for him to pass this kind of through ball during training. I feel that his through ball is not good, so he consciously reduces his through balls?" Schroeder discovered the problem of Chen Feng's through ball.

"Well, I also felt this problem during training before, but it was normal to have a low through ball that penetrated the defensive line before. I didn't think much about it. Now that the position is advanced, the problem of through balls needs to be solved more and more. In the next training, he needs to train more on this kind of through ball. There are also passes that are pressed by many people in the frontcourt. These all need to be trained, but take it slowly. Will our performance be so much better? Prove that our choice is right, relax and relax, there is no need to pay attention to the court so seriously in normal games, our coach is already the profession with the highest probability of heart attack, so don’t put yourself under such pressure every day.” Nagelsmann said to Schroeder with a smile on his face, hoping that Schroeder would not keep his face rigid.

"Although Chen's improvement is indeed great, but this is a professional game, and the opponent is not weak. Have you forgotten the situation when we faced Freiburg and Hamburg? These two games were because we and the players were lax for a while, thinking that even if some key players were missing, we could still win the game with the ability of other players, but what happened? The result? We ushered in a two-game winning streak and almost fell out of the European theater. I am very pleased, but the risk is really too great to use the game to prove and test it? This is not in the U19 anymore. Every game may decide whether we will be in the Europa League or the Champions League next season, or maybe we can only compete in the country." Schroeder still said a little unwillingly. Although he had agreed to let Chen Feng enter the starting list, he became more and more worried after seeing Chen Feng's waste of these two opportunities. Crash and then give up the game victory?
"I don't think it's that serious, and isn't Chen's performance not bad? Before he went back to China to represent the national team, he also started as the core of the organization. He also performed very well. I think Chen's performance is still acceptable. Besides, isn't everything going well now?" Although Schroeder is very anxious, Nagelsmann is still very calm. He still advocates waiting and watching Chen Feng's performance before making any plans.

Schroeder knew that he could not persuade Nagelsmann. Although Nagelsmann would listen to the words of their coaching staff on weekdays, Nagelsmann was still very assertive in some key choices, even a bit arbitrary: "Well, I won't say much, but you also know that it is only the World Cup qualifiers in Asia. How strong can the Asian teams be? What's more, they are not playing strong teams like Japan and Iran. They are not very convincing at all, and what is the position of the national team in the competition?" Even some South American teams or European teams will put people who are not in that position in that position because of the lack of players in the national team. Some perform well, but they will not play in the club when they return to the club, because one game is not convincing, and the club will have better candidates. We are the same. Rudy is more capable.

Chen Feng didn't know that the head coach Nagelsmann and assistant coach Schroeder had already quarreled for him. Chen Feng was now more concerned about every move on the field. He didn't know whether the three central defenders performed very well today or Wolfsburg's offense was particularly bad today.

"This time Wolfsburg doesn't have enough offensive players. You can wait for the pass in the frontcourt, or watch the situation near the center circle. If your teammates are forced, you can also return to the backcourt in time to serve as a passing point." After seeing the offensive situation of Wolfsburg, Abbio immediately told Chen Feng, so that Chen Feng could have time to decide his next move.

"Well, I see, I'd better watch the situation near the middle circle." Chen Feng hovered near the halfway line, this position allows him to advance or retreat.

Jilavoji wanted to pass the ball to find the side, but Hubna directly headed the ball into the middle. Chen Feng returned to the backcourt to get the ball from the center circle. Gustavo did not give up on him, but the small moves were less. Feng's waist is against Chen Feng's weakness. This Chen Feng is not only difficult to turn around, but also difficult to exert normal strength. Moreover, Gustavo is always behind him and is always ready to go forward.

Chen Feng knew that he couldn't hold the ball, so he didn't stop the ball and gave it to Geiger who ran over in time. Then, when he turned around, he pointed his finger at the sky to Geiger, signaling Geiger to pass the high-altitude ball directly. As for the high-altitude ball, it was definitely not passed to him.

Although Hoffenheim used the high-altitude ball less frequently in this game, Wagner was always ready, waiting for his teammates to pass him a high-altitude ball. As the offensive fulcrum of Hoffenheim’s frontcourt, it was necessary to concentrate throughout the game.

While Wagner was running, Chen Feng was also running forward. While running, Chen Feng recalled what Rudy would do at this time?Go forward, find a second spot near Wagner, and find a chance to shoot or pass!Chen Feng ran towards Wagner decisively, and Wagner grabbed the first spot easily. Although he couldn't get the football directly due to the defensive interference of Wolfsburg, Wagner still tried his best to point the football towards the nearby teammates. This time, Wagner pointed to Chen Feng's direction.

At first, the central defender of Wolfsburg thought that Chen Feng would choose to pass the ball like the previous few attacks, but after Chen Feng took a few steps, he found that this position was very close to the penalty area, and if he passed the ball again, if it was not a cross pass, he could only force it directly into the penalty area.

It's a pity that although the central defender of Wolfsburg realized this, it was too late when they found out. Not only was Chen Feng ready to shoot, he even found the angle of the shot.

The old Swiss goalkeeper Benalio can only rely on his personal intuition to pounce to the left. He knows that the ball is too fast. Even if the shot is on target, it will be difficult to save it successfully.

After Benalio fell to the ground, he didn’t feel the touch of the football hitting his body. He already knew that this save did not catch Chen Feng’s shot. When Benalio was about to feel desperate, he heard a crisp sound. Benalio, who had been holding the goal for many years, immediately knew that the sound was the sound of a football hitting the goalpost. Benalio immediately looked at the goalpost. The football was flying towards him. Immediately flew forward and held the football in his arms for protection, preventing anyone from touching it.

"Chen's shot! The speed is very fast! Did it go in?! No!! The ball hit the goal post and bounced out. Wolfsburg goalkeeper Benalio immediately saved the ball and didn't give anyone a chance to make a follow-up shot. It's a pity that Chen's shot was very good. The ball was very fast and it was a low ball. Pursue speed, but also pursue angle, even the best shooter in the world cannot guarantee such a perfect shot." Effenberg felt very sorry for Chen Feng's goal this time.

"This is indeed a very good opportunity, especially in this position. Chen has performed well. In this position, Chen has scored two long-range goals, but it was in the position of the midfielder. Chen's forward penetration in the defensive midfielder position seems to be more threatening than now, because when he penetrates forward, he can find a good shooting opportunity and a blank area. There is no one in front of him. Ball," Clayton said.

Effenberg has a different view on this: "I don't think that's the case. The chances of shooting from the defensive midfielder and the attacking midfielder are determined by the individual. And you just said that Chen scored two goals in this position, and Chen has scored four goals this season. It's not a matter of luck. If you have the sense of smell, then the midfielder’s ability to control the landing point outside the penalty area and shoot is a player’s hunter ability. An excellent hunter can find the direction of the team’s attack at any time and accurately find the ball’s landing point, and then complete the shooting attack.”

Chen Feng was a little surprised that this shot didn't score a goal. When he shot, Chen Feng already felt that this shot was very good. If this long shot didn't score, then there might be no chance in this game.

Soon Chen Feng's feeling came true. After halftime, head coach Nagelsmann made an adjustment, replacing Chen Feng with Rudy. It was another alignment adjustment. It was very obvious that Nagelsman planned to fix Chen Feng in the midfield.

When Nagelsmann announced that he would replace Chen Feng in midfield, he first encouraged Chen Feng a few words, and praised Chen Feng for his excellent performance today. He let Chen Feng know that this was just a purely tactical substitution.Getting rid of is no longer a primary school student, and he needs a coach to comfort him when he is replaced.

Chen Feng sat on the bench and watched Rudy lead the team to take the upper hand in the game again. Rudy's attack could find the weakness of Wolfsburg's defenders every time. Although not every time he could directly find his teammates and complete the attack quickly, but every forward pass made Wolfsburg's center back very uncomfortable. Wolfsburg's midfield had to shrink to ensure that the space in the backcourt would not be directly penetrated by Hoffenheim's frontcourt.
