Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior
Chapter 96: Promote core players! 3 goals ahead of Inter Milan! (page 12)
Martin assisted Dost to score, and the scoreboard showed a score of 2:0.
The fanatical atmosphere in the Volkswagen Arena was also completely detonated by this goal, pushing it to the highest peak since the start of the game.
The on-site director gave multiple slow-motion replays in succession, allowing fans watching the live game to fully experience the wonderful moment when Martin faced Juan Jesus and turned around 360 degrees to assist Dost in scoring.
Almost every commentator marveled at Martin's 360° turn to assist Dost during his rapid movement.
Martin, who sent the assist, knew best how flawed his technical move was. If he hadn't reacted quickly, his high-speed 360° turn would have become a joke.
In this regard, he also spurred himself from the bottom of his heart.
Next, make as few quick turns as possible like that.
Affected by insufficient balance ability, turning too quickly can easily lead to an unstable center of gravity and fall to the ground.
Wolfsburg took a two-goal lead less than half an hour into the game. The home team fans in the auditorium were particularly excited, creating waves of cheers.
The home players who performed well were encouraged by the strong momentum and it didn't take long to complete the reversal of possession with a unified attack.
The Inter Milan players, who were two goals behind, played very frustratedly. If they wanted to attack, they could not threaten Benaglio's goal. The poor defense caused Handanovic to be frequently tested.
Handanovic can still keep the goal with excellent reactions and goal-line skills when shooting from a distance, but it is easy to be helpless when faced with shots in the penalty area.
In order to ensure the safety of the goal, Mancini believes that the offense should be strengthened as appropriate, forcing Wolfsburg, which is leading by two goals, to pay attention to defense.
As for defensive problems that may lead to a transition from defense to offense, he plans to require players to actively counterattack after losing the ball.
If it really doesn't work, use fouls to make up for it.
But making such a decision requires courage. It is too risky to step up the offense before a quarter of the 180-minute game in two rounds has been played.
After a long period of struggle, he still couldn't make up his mind.
The Inter Milan players on the field did not receive any tactical adjustments from Mancini and could only play according to the tactics formulated before the game.
If the score is still 0:0 or 0:1, there is no problem in playing according to the original plan.
But now Inter Milan is already two goals behind. It will be difficult to narrow the point difference without making changes, and it may even be further expanded by the home team.
As the transition from offense to defense almost resulted in conceding the ball, Mancini decided to solidify his defense first and then wait for opportunities.
Although some players on the field believed that strengthening the offense was the most correct choice, their tactics were very disciplined and they fully implemented the tactical changes made by Mancini.
In addition, when playing away games, it is always right to keep a low profile.
Wolfsburg, who led by two goals, also consciously slowed down the pace and allocated physical energy reasonably.
In the second half of the league, there are only a few main frame players. It would be very uneconomical to get injured at this juncture.
For Heijing, there are two most important players in his tactical system.
One is De Bruyne and the other is Martin.
Other players have to be replaced if they are injured, but if one of De Bruyne or Martin is injured, it will be a serious injury.
The home fans continued to cheer for the players on the field, as if they had endless energy.
The overwhelming shouts lasted for a long time.
After a brief silence, the Inter Milan fans who traveled with the team quickly resumed their support for the players, singing the team song and cheering for the players who were struggling on the field.
Playing away from home, the team we face is Wolfsburg, which can beat Bayern at home. Falling behind is a reasonable result.
The knockout rounds of the Europa League are two-legged. It doesn’t matter if you lose in the first leg away from home, but you can win back in the second leg at home at San Siro. It’s no big deal.
0:2 Back at home, there is still hope.
Inter Milan strengthened their defense, and the home team consciously slowed down the offensive and defensive rhythm. The scene was much worse than in the first half hour.
However, this situation is very beneficial to the emotions of the fans on both sides of the game. If there is no threatening ball, there will be no ups and downs of emotional changes.
Very friendly to fans with a history of heart disease.
But for those neutral fans, it is a bit boring, and the lackluster offense makes them lack the desire to continue watching the game.
So, the channel turned to the other Europa League 1/8 final first-leg matches that were being played at the same time.
However, the real fans are at this time holding their breath and watching carefully.
There is often calm before the storm.
The boring competition process may also contain hidden murderous intent.
Black and Gold's team seemed to be slowing down the offensive pace, but in fact they were waiting for Inter Milan's defense to expose problems.
So why not Mancini?
He indeed asked the team to stabilize the defense first, but the key is to wait for opportunities to attack.
Therefore, games that slow down the offensive pace are still very enjoyable to watch.
The preparation for each goal always requires a long period of preparation and organization, and then key players are used to seize or create opportunities in fleeting opportunities.
However, a well-prepared master always points his attack to the end, so as to leave room for the next move.
Time often passes very quickly in high-level events, and it’s the end of the first half in a blink of an eye.
Players from both sides of the game once again tightened their defense under the instructions of their respective coaches to prevent the ball from being conceded during the four most vulnerable periods of the game.
0:3 against Inter Milan is difficult to accept, and 2:1 against Wolfsburg also has a big psychological gap.
Entering the halftime period with the current score is the tacit consent of both sides of the game.
With the whistle of the referee Maziniak, the focus of the first leg of the Europa League 1/8 finals at the Volkswagen Arena came to halftime.
Players from both sides entered the locker room through the player tunnel. The home fans at the Volkswagen Arena were particularly excited and danced to create a fanatical game atmosphere.
The excited fans didn't stop releasing their energy until the players completely entered the tunnel.
After forty-five minutes of almost crazy shouting, the fans were exhausted.
They had to take advantage of the halftime break to eat something to replenish energy for the second half.
Throat lozenges are also a must-have 'miraculous drug' for professional football fans.
Many fans used this time to visit the restrooms and stadium stores, and some bought burgers, Cokes, draft beers and other food at mobile stores in the stands.
Home team locker room.
Assistant coach Bremser closed the locker room door, and the noise from the stadium stopped abruptly.
After the players briefly wiped their sweat, head coach Heijing quickly took the tactical board and explained to the players what they should pay attention to in the second half of the game.
The players listened as they ate bananas, energy bars, chocolate, chicken salad and other quick-calorie foods.
Throughout the first half, their physical energy consumption was really high.
After explaining the tactical adjustments, Heijing clapped his hands vigorously and encouraged the players: "Keep working hard in the second half and try to end the two-round knockout round early at home. Are you confident?"
