Chapter 196 Elf Dance
After the game started, Magath realized that his thinking was wrong. Today, Ruteng simply did not follow his routine. The midfielder was replaced by Rakitic with stronger control, and the forward forward was Zhang Yuan.
Against Zhang Yuan, he also specially arranged defenses on the side, but now they are all in vain!
What's even more exaggerated is Zhang Yuan, can you stand firm in the center position, don't let him? Always retreat!
Yes, today Schalke 04 has changed to another center forward with a completely different style of play. Zhang Yuan retreats and often plays the midfielder position, just like Spalletti's Roma, Schalke 04 without a forward!
Wolfsburg with five midfielders can't control the situation either. Schalke 04 has always had the ball possession rate, and Altintop Jr. and Asamoah often go to the center to look for shooting opportunities on the side.
In the 6th minute, Rakitic passed a pass to Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan took a step. When Barzali pressed on, he immediately gave the ball to Altintop Jr. on the left, and Altintop Jr. passed directly to the penalty area. , Asamoah from the far end put in a tackle and the ball missed the post.
In the 8th minute, Schalke 04 made a comeback. After Rakitic and Zhang Yuan made a one-two pass, a long-range shot from the front of the penalty area was thrown out of the crossbar by Wolfsburg goalkeeper Benaglio.
In the 12th minute, Schalke 04 found a counterattack opportunity. Ernst made a long pass to Asamoah on the right. Asamoah made a pass from the bottom. Zhang Yuan jumped high and headed the ball over the crossbar.
But Schalke 04 didn't have to wait long to score the goal. In the 18th minute, Zhang Yuan dribbled the ball from the right side of the front court and was pulled down by Little. The referee took a free kick in the front court.
Zhang Yuan took a free kick, Asamoah hit forward and back, Digan hit back and threw the ball into the gate guarded by Benalio.
"Ah!" Degan roared towards the corner kick, waving his fists, venting his excitement. This goal was his first goal in the top European league!
Well, it's been so many years since I came to Europe, this is the first time for Digan.
Zhang Yuan immediately rushed to him to celebrate his friend's first time.
When Digan saw Zhang Yuan, he gave Zhang Yuan a hug, and was too excited to speak.
Zhang Yuan can understand Degan's mood very well. He only joined Schalke 04 this season, and Degan ushered in good luck. First of all, the injury of the main central defender Kristajic directly lost a competitor. In fact, Schalke Erke 04 fought on the third front, Bolton was suspended for three games, and Degan ushered in another turning point.
During this period of time, Degan's appearances increased significantly. On the one hand, Rutten was out of helplessness, and on the other hand, it was also because Degan showed his strength in training.
Magath is not the one to mess with. He reprimanded his players for set-piece defense loudly on the sidelines. He has not found a way to deal with it until now in today's game. Zhang Yuan's running range and the way of passing and controlling the ball follow the wing totally different.
Today, Zhang Yuan's extraordinary style of play is obviously much less. He has more passing lines in the middle, and he is not restricted to a certain extent like the side.
Hoffman, Mikhailovich and Joseph raised their hands in the box for Schalke 04's goal.
Today's Zhang Yuan seems to be different, Mikhailovich began to analyze Zhang Yuan's playing style in his heart.
At least at this stage, Zhang Yuan Mikhailovich has never known him. In Inter Milan, Zhang Yuan has no chance to play the center position, so he feels unfamiliar with Zhang Yuan appearing in the center position.
At the beginning of the game, Mikhailovich was still a little worried. Zhang Yuan’s header in the last game did not mean that Zhang Yuan could play a good pivot role in the center position. It just showed that Zhang Yuan was good at heading. Great progress has been made.
Schalke 04's usual style of play is to fly with both wings and pass from the wing. Mikhailovich is very worried that Zhang Yuan will suffer from Barzagli and Costa in terms of headers. In terms of position, Schalke 04's style of play is not a single cross, but more of a ground attack.
Zhang Yuan is a bit at home in this mixed style of play, and he has a natural sense of adaptation.
After scoring a goal, Schalke 04 continued to attack unabated, frequently causing trouble for Wolfsburg's gate.
When Magath couldn't think of a better way, he could only let his team recover passively. He always believed that in such a high-intensity game, Schalke 04 could not last such an offensive for a long time.
His idea is not unreasonable, Wolfsburg is very active in fighting, Schalke 04 wants to control the situation, the players can only move more, both players consume a lot of energy, and physical training Magath He believes that his players will definitely be able to stand up, but Schalke 04 will definitely not be able to stand up.
In the first half, he had secretly set a goal for his team, God, just keep a goal behind.
But God didn't seem to take good care of him. In the 30th minute, Schalke 04 scored again, this time it was Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan, who had few people passing by, made both Barzagli and Costa believe that Zhang Yuan would choose to pass the ball more, but this time Zhang Yuan chose to fight alone.
Rakitic passed the ball, Zhang Yuan made it back, two to one, Rakitic went straight, Zhang Yuan went forward to the penalty area, and Barzagli strode forward to grab it.
Zhang Yuan pulls the ball, Marseille spins, and passes Barzagli. Facing Costa's supplementary defense, Zhang Yuan pulls the ball horizontally, with his right foot dangling on the ball, picks the ball with his left foot, and passes Costa again. Taking a step, he kicked his right foot and shot the upper left corner of the Wolfsburg gate.
Zhang Yuan and Rakitic cooperated with each other tacitly, passing through and shooting in one go. It was like dancing in the narrow space in the penalty area. Barzagli and Costa turned around and the ball had burst into the net. Benalio reacted a little nothing!
"Zhang Yuan and Rakitic made a two-for-one, beautiful forward drive! Oh my god! Is he dancing?! The goal is scored! Oh my god, unbelievable goal! Perfect shot! goa...l! Let's cheer for our boy Lightning, Zhang Yuan...!" Schmidt, the live commentator of Schalke 04, explained excitedly, he was so excited that he had to use the trailing sound that South Americans like to cheer!
The fans at the scene also made deafening noises, shouting Zhang Yuan's name!
Mikhailovich rubbed his ears, the decibels here are too high.
"Are you all like this here? Zhang Yuan is very popular with the fans here!" Mikhainovich asked Hoffman in English.
"Of course! Zhang Yuan is our favorite! He always brings goals! Beautiful goals! All my friends like him!" Hoffman said proudly.
Seeing Zhang Yuan dancing in the penalty area like an elf, Mihajnovic secretly felt sorry for Inter Milan, but as soon as he thought about it, he immediately thought of Mancini.
Mancini is his good friend, but it was Mancini's indifference to Zhang Yuan that caused Inter Milan to lose a genius.
Of course, the reason why Mancini didn't pay attention to the interior is definitely not as simple as skills and tactics. He also knows it. Now that Zhang Yuan is so popular among Schalke 04 fans, he suddenly feels why he feels pity for Inter Milan. .
Zhang Yuan is very good now!Here he found his own piece of sky!
After Zhang Yuan scored this goal, he also learned Ibrahimovic's way of celebrating. On the way to the corner, he put his hands next to his ears to listen, and the fans cheered even louder Respond to him!
"Are you dancing?!" Rakitic didn't expect Zhang Yuan to be so extraordinary in the penalty area. Although he knew that Zhang Yuan had that strength, in his mind, Barzagli and Costa The defensive distance between the players is very short. Under normal circumstances, many forwards will not choose to dribble, and it is too easy to lose the ball.
But Zhang Yuan is really a brave man with a high level of skill, he didn't feel scared at all, and danced a perfect dance.
"Thank you! Ivan! We really have a good understanding!" Zhang Yuan hugged Rakitic. The cooperation between the two of them just now was too tacit. got a chance.
The field captain Ernst ran over and gave Zhang Yuan a bear hug, "You will always surprise us!"
"Can Fabian stop praising me, I will really blush!"
"Really? I don't believe it!" As the big brother of the German side in the team, Ernst likes Zhang Yuan very much, because Zhang Yuan is very hardworking on and off the field, can also score goals, and has contributed a lot to the team.
Magath had no reason to be mad at the ball. This is when geniuses shine. Not any defender can block it. Even top defenders may not be able to block Zhang Yuan's blow, let alone Barzagli and Costa.
So he is more helpless, but now his tactics have to be adjusted again, and he can no longer stick to it. What to do is a difficult problem.
After thinking for a few minutes, Magath made a change. Zhang Yuan retreated deeper, so Wolfsburg's entire formation should be moved forward, and the defensive line should be prepared to create offside tactics.
With this tactic, Wolfsburg's formation is more compact, and it will definitely not suffer from midfield possession as before, but the risks and hidden dangers are relatively high. Everyone knows that Zhang Yuan is a player with very fast explosive power and failed to cause offside. Undoubtedly, it is the nail in the coffin.
This is why Magath has been reluctant to use it just now.
