I Just Can Score

Frank Baumann, 32 years old, has been playing for Werder Bremen since 1999. He is the main defensive midfielder of Bremen. He is strong and decisive. With his stable and excellent performance, he has been selected for many times Passed the German national team.

As a calm and unmistakable defensive midfielder, Bowman's main advantages are positioning and tactical awareness, coupled with fierce tackles and outstanding skills, he has become an important pillar of Bremen's backcourt defense and offensive and defensive conversion.

In Bremen's lineup, Bowman plays a very important role.

In the offense, he is indispensable for the support of the frontcourt, and is also the core of offensive and defensive transitions. Occasionally, he will take the initiative to take on the important task of organizing the offense.

In defense, Bowman is a defensive midfielder, and relying on strong fighting alone, he can create a defense line for Bremen.

Such a core player in the team is definitely overqualified to defend an opponent's striker.

But Schaff can't help it!

The reason Schaff chose Bowman was that the opponent's No. 13 was indeed very difficult to defend. Naldo's defense had already failed, and Bowman's performance has always been very calm.

Second, no one else took the initiative to stand up.

In this difficult and embarrassing time, someone must shoulder the burden. Bowman is not only a core player and main midfielder, but also the captain of Bremen.

The captain must take responsibility!

Bowman was also a little surprised to be named by Schaff. He was one of the few midfielders in the locker room who didn't bow his head, because he didn't feel that the coach assigned him to defend.

Now that Schaff called his name, Bowman also felt a lot of pressure.

He has to admit that Naldo is good.

Naldo admits that he may not be able to defend players who cannot be defended. One-on-one defense is no better than overall performance. any sense.

After returning to the game, Bowman stared at Zhen Shaolong carefully and thought seriously, This guy is too threatening and his shots are very accurate. We must not let him kick in the penalty area.

The skill he shows at times is also amazing, you can't let him touch the ball in a dangerous position.

Be sure to follow steadily,

Follow along and it's best not to let him catch the ball.

As long as he runs into the restricted area...

What Bowman paid attention to was still the restricted area.

Zhen Shaolong's two goals were completed in the penalty area. After receiving the ball in the penalty area, he was able to successfully shake off Naldo. Bowman is learning the lesson of Naldo's failure, and he concluded that absolutely not Let the other side go in and get the ball.

The second half of the game has begun.

Werder Bremen's defense against Zhen Shaolong was a headache, but their offense was not bad, and they continued to attack St. Pauli half-court, launching a bombardment-like attack.

St. Pauli's defense is indeed very average.

Even if Bergmann adopts the intensive defense strategy, most of the players retreat and shrink the penalty area, it is still difficult to withstand the bombing of Bremen again and again.

There are frequent crises in front of St. Pauli.

St. Pauli also had an offensive in the middle. The tactical strategy formulated by Bergman was mainly based on quick counterattacks. In fact, it was difficult for St. Pauli to play a quick counterattack, because there was only one Zhen Shaolong in front, and the kick-off from the backcourt to the frontcourt, allowing the Zhen Shaolong went to fight alone, and the chance of scoring a goal was too small.

St. Pauli's ability to launch a threatening offensive mainly relies on means and frontal advancement.

In the process of frontal advancement, he mainly relied on Luz's front goal to grab points, or simply passed the ball to Zhen Shaolong. In the second half, Zhen Shaolong touched the ball more frequently.

This is not because of Bowman's poor defensive ability, but because Zhen Shaolong has greatly increased the number of retreats. Even in the process of advancing forward, Zhen Shaolong will stand outside the penalty area instead of rushing into the penalty area to find opportunities.

Bowman was a little depressed.

After receiving the job of marking Zhen Shaolong, he has been thinking about how to defend. The core of his thinking is to focus on the inside of the penalty area, not the outside of the penalty area, because most of the time in the first half, the opponent is trying to move forward. standing.

Why are you standing back now?

Bowman didn't understand.

A player's style of play is often fixed, just like the high center forward will be at the forefront, relying on positioning to attract defense, and can also rely on air superiority to compete for headers.

I can't understand Zhen Shaolong's style.

He is not a high center forward, he is a technical forward no matter how you look at it, and his position should be a 'second striker', but he occupies the position of a high center forward. The opponent's high center forward automatically gives way, and he should play second most of the time. forward.

This is also understandable.

The opponent's front goal is very efficient, and standing at the forefront can get better opportunities.

but……

Why are you back now?

This sudden change in style of play made Bowman's preparations useless, and he couldn't help thinking carefully——

why?

He suddenly retreated? And is it a continuous retreat?

Doesn't even enter the penalty area if you push forward?

That's good news.

Werder Bremen's defense all see it this way, and they are also surprised that Zhen Shaolong's retreat has increased, but when the opponent advances, Zhen Shaolong is outside the penalty area, which will also greatly reduce the defensive pressure in front of the goal.

The two central defenders, Naldo and Mertesacker, felt a lot more relaxed, and they couldn't help giving Bowman a thumbs up, Frank is the best!

As soon as Frank went to defend, that guy stood on the outside!

He probably knows that he can't break through Frank's defense! He doesn't want to fight Frank head-on!

A group of Werder Bremen teammates are very approving.

Bowman immediately felt good.

In the first half, Naldo defended carefully, but still allowed the opponent to score two goals. The opponent seemed to be an invincible boss. Now? He stood up and showed himself, but before he could make any effort, the other party raised the white flag and surrendered.

My reputation is really big enough!

This guy is really smart. When he saw that I was coming to defend, he simply stood on the outside!

thought Bowman.

Of course.

As the player designated by the coach to defend Zhen Shaolong, Zhen Shaolong stood on the perimeter, and Bowman had to follow him to defend, but the defense on the perimeter of the penalty area was much easier, because the threat from the perimeter was not great, and he could perform various moves, even if it was Seeing a threat, a direct foul is a yellow card.

Bowman immediately felt relaxed.

In fact, it took Zhen Shaolong a long time to notice that the defender next to him became Bowman, because most of the time, Bremen was attacking, he stood at the front of the formation, and Naldo also stood beside him.

He didn't know Bowman's name, but he was just surprised that Naldo didn't come to defend.

That's a pity.

Zhen Shaolong is used to Naldo, and it feels a little weird that the opponent doesn't come to defend. He keeps retreating frequently and changes his style of play. The reason is also very simple--

No more skills!

Strike is used up, Surprise is used up, there are no active skills that can be used, why are you still in the restricted area?

It's like a mage in the game, throwing away several skills and staying on the battlefield, waiting for the enemy to kill him? The best choice is to stand far away, let the fighters stand at the front, and use normal attacks to level a from a distance. Maybe the passive will be triggered, so if you find a chance, come and attack, and you can also grab the head by the way.

This is the right way!

In the process of cooperating and finding opportunities outside the penalty area, Zhen Shaolong also realized that Bowman is difficult to deal with. Bowman is different from Naldo. He prefers to use his body and gets stuck in the position in advance every time. He knows where to stand is more advantageous.

Bowman doesn't use his body frequently, but uses it less, but when he needs to be tough, he will also be tougher.

This time Zhen Shaolong retreated to catch the ball, Bowman was a little slower in chasing, and simply fell sideways to the ground with a shovel.

A kick in the middle of the football!

Zhen Shaolong was tripped and fell to the ground. After standing up, he was full of depression, because Bowman scored the ball first, and it was not even a foul. Bremen also took the opportunity to counterattack. Diego shot from inside the penalty area and almost helped Werder Bremen scored.

This guy is not easy to deal with! Zhen Shaolong had a feeling.

Next, Zhen Shaolong paid special attention to Bowman, because the opponent's defense was very tough and experienced, so he simply retreated further back.

Every time he gets the ball, Zhen Shaolong will try to break through. It is not easy to break through Bowman without skills, but with the improvement of his ball feel, his dribbling and breakthrough ability also improve It is not easy for Bowman to grab the promotion.

The two played one-on-one consecutively, which became the highlight of the game.

Zhen Shaolong tried three times in a row, and found that it was not a good way to break through Bowman, because Bowman paid great attention to running, even if he was tricked by his movements, he could still follow up successfully.

But that's the way the game is.

With repeated tentative attacks, you may find an opportunity, but if you don't try, you will be completely stared at. Zhen Shaolong still continues to test.

In the 79th minute of the game, Zhen Shaolong finally found a good chance.

Bol passes the ball from the right.

Zhen Shaolong dribbled the ball forward and swung Bowman away with a small change of direction. The latter immediately caught up, but Zhen Shaolong took the opportunity to run forward for more than five meters.

Pass?

Zhen Shaolong glanced at the goal which was more than 30 meters away, hesitated for a moment, and handed the ball to Bor, and started to accelerate to pass Bowman.

Bol passes the ball back again.

Zhen Shaolong finally locked his position, leaving Bowman behind, and he was about to receive the return pass.

Bowman sensed the danger.

He must not let him catch this ball! Bowman was behind Zhen Shaolong's left, seeing that he couldn't stop it at all, he simply fell to the ground like a sliding tackle.

Rear crisis strikes!

Zhen Shaolong subconsciously jumped up to dodge, but was still kicked in the foot, suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

What!

How did you kick it!

asshole!

After blurting out three consecutive curses, Zhen Shaolong stood up from the grass depressingly.

The referee avenged him.

yellow card.

Free kick.

I suggest a red card! Zhen Shaolong said to the referee, It was too dangerous just now!

The referee glanced at Bowman.

Bowman was startled and quickly waved his hands, I didn't mean to!

Of course he did it on purpose.

The referee may also change the penalty just because of Zhen Shaolong. He just took a symbolic look and warned Bowman's actions.

Zhen Shaolong felt a little regretful that he couldn't help Bowman get a red card, but after he glanced at the location of the foul and then at the goal, he was in no mood to pay attention to the penalty.

This location is great!

The place where Bowman fouled was five meters away from the penalty area line, slightly to the right of the goal, almost facing the right post of the goal, which is Zhen Shaolong's favorite position.

When training direct free kicks, Zhen Shaolong likes to play this position.

Werder Bremen are also aware of the danger.

In order to cope with the match against St. Pauli, the head coach Schaaf has studied Zhen Shaolong quite deeply. He knows that Zhen Shaolong can kick excellent direct free kicks, and the foul position is the easiest to score directly.

Shaf couldn't sit still for a moment, he stood up and walked to the production change.

The camera gave Schaff a shot, and the game commentator analyzed, Scharf is also a little worried, and the free throw position is very suitable for direct free kicks.

Zhen Shaolong scored a few direct free kicks before, and he has the ability to kick the fallen ball. It depends on whether he can score this time.

If Zhen Shaolong can score the ball, he will not only perform a hat-trick, but also tie Gerd Müller's single-season scoring record in the Bundesliga...

The Bremen fans were suddenly very nervous, and some fans simply uttered 'shh' in order to affect Zhen Shaolong's state.

Zhen Shaolong stood at the penalty spot, swept left and right to the surrounding stands, the corners of his mouth curled up and his eyes were full of indifference.

He looks towards the goal.

Do a few stretches on the spot to adjust the feeling of the body.

Werder Bremen lined up the wall.

Under the attention of several cameras, Zhen Shaolong's expression became more serious. He jumped on the spot again, then pushed back a few steps, and carefully stared at the wall and the goal.

The referee whistled and waved.

Zhen Shaolong took a deep breath, took two steps forward and swung his right foot high, the left side of the football was slanted.

Outer instep!

arc!

With a long-tailed trajectory, the football quickly rushed over the blocking wall, and then slowly turned towards the goal.

in front of the door.

Wei Ze looked solemn and very calm.

Zhen Shaolong kicked a free kick, and a free kick could not threaten his safety, so he became undivided and could devote himself to saving.

Wei Ze has researched Zhen Shaolong.

The head coach Shaf studies Zhen Shaolong's abilities, such as dribbling, ball control, speed, shooting, etc. Wei Ze is a professional football goalkeeper, so he only needs to study Zhen Shaolong's shooting.

In the field of goal shooting, there are many places to study, and one of them is very important--

Get used to shooting!

Every striker has a shooting habit, some like to hit the right side, some like to hit the left side, some like to hit the far corner, and some like to hit the short corner.

Wei Ze's research on Zhen Shaolong found that the free kick he chose was the leaf kick, and the number of times he hit the far corner was more, accounting for as much as 80%.

The far corner is also easy to score.

Wei Ze's position is slightly closer to the left, to prevent Zhen Shaolong's fallen leaf ball from falling into the far corner.

When Zhen Shaolong kicked, Wei Ze took another step to the left, but he immediately realized that it was not good, because the opponent did not kick the fallen leaf ball!

Standard outer instep arc!

Weize immediately knew how to defend. The trajectory of this kind of ball is also difficult to judge, but it is much easier to deal with than the fallen leaf ball. The important thing is to judge the trajectory in advance.

Right!

When the football was halfway flying and tended to fall, Weiser made an accurate judgment, but his position was a bit awkward, so he could only forcefully twist his center of gravity and take two steps across to the right.

Then--

Jump to the rescue!

Weiser's judgment is still very accurate, and his save performance is also very good, but he is still a little slower and only touched the ball with his fingers.

Football has taken a small turn.

This change of direction is very critical. The intersection point between the trajectory of the football and the goal is already close to the post. After a small change of direction, it immediately hits the post.

Boom!

Successful!

Wei Ze couldn't help the emotion in his heart, even though he was about to lie on the ground.

next moment.

Wei Ze lay on the ground on his side, with only his legs separated to support his body, in a half-prone state.

Boom!

Another sound.

Before Wei Ze could be happy, he felt a gust of wind coming down from his step, and then he was hit hard on half of his hip. He grinned and turned his head to see that the football had already flown into the goal.

——??

After hearing the shouts from the stands around him, Wei Ze realized what had happened, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat from fear-the football hit between his two bodies and bounced into the goal.

At this moment, Wei Ze made a decision: When we meet St. Pauli in the future, no, as long as there is a team with Zhen Shaolong, we will pretend to be sick... we must pretend to be sick... the health of the second child is more important than a game too much!
