Vol 2 Chapter 123: Missed to become the only possibility


"Schalke equalized the score! Wow, this time bounce, Zhou Wansheng. Poor Ibanez became the background wall... Actually, the height of the two is only one centimeter apart, but Zhou showed the crush of absolute power! This is the Schalke's desire for victory."
Marcel Reeve gave Zhou Tiancheng all the words of beauty that he could think of at this moment. At this time and privately rigorous, he completely judged the two.
The Spanish commentator Juan Peach was on the live broadcast seat at Calderon Stadium. At the moment, he patted the table angrily. Of course, he was annoyed because Atletico only led by three minutes and was equalized. The result made him depressed.
As for the goal itself...Look at his silence and wide-eyed expression for the first time after losing the ball.
How can this be! ! How did he do that?
And CCTV Duan Xuan said with full pride: "Pablo Ibanez, in fact, 28 years old is the peak of physical fitness, but compared with Zhou Tian, ​​even if he has to sigh The hero is late."
The Chinese fans in front of the TV deeply agreed.
At the same time, in Freiburg and Hanover, Germany, Ming Tao and Chen Pengfei also watched the live broadcast of the game in the rented apartment, and at the same time exchanged views on the game in the group.
When Atletico took the first goal, Ming Tao frowned and said: Schalke is in trouble today, and Cheng can't even get the ball in front.
The first time Zhou Tiancheng pressed Perea to hit the crossbar, the two's mouths began to open slightly, and seeing Zhou Tiancheng strongly suppress Ibanez to smash the ball to the goal. Although the two were across the screen, But the mouth became "O" at the same time. I wanted to exclaim "Wow!" But because my heart was too shocked, I stuck it in my throat. It was so shocked that there was no sound.
Ming Tao sent a series of ellipsis on the group, Chen Pengfei looked at the screen and sighed: "This goalkeeper, what's his name? Asenho... He still feels dissatisfied, what's the object of this ball, let alone him, even Kasy Buffon came and surrendered."
"Actually, I am sorry that Ibanez is here." Ming Tao typed on the computer screen. "Sometimes he was also a defender who played the World Cup. He was so crushed by people of the same height. Will this man not retire early? Haha, just like Frederick Weiss..."
"Frederick Weiss? Who is this?" Chen Pengfei heard the name coldly, and there was no such person in his mind.
"Do you know the slam dunk of NBA trapeze Carter? It was this Frederick Weiss who gave him a dunk ride. The two-meter-tall dude was smashed with suspicion of life, and he retired soon after the Olympics. ."
Ming Tao still remembers the scenes he has seen. At the time, he was eleven years old because of his excellent arm span, and he started to practice basketball. At the beginning of this century, it was an era when Chinese men's basketball talents came out. At that time, people with excellent physical conditions first considered basketball. It was only because later that the junior high school basketball team couldn't play the main role, and the football team was short of people, and the football team was wrong. The coach of the football team caught Ming Tao's excellent wingspan. I think this is a good goalkeeper. Ming Tao is only here. Start contacting football. Therefore, Ming Tao is obviously familiar with what is happening on the basketball court.
"Ah? Oh, I don't pay much attention to basketball." Chen Pengfei is a pure football fan. And he doesn't care about how his opponent feels, he only knows that the people he supports scored goals, and it's really beautiful.
After this goal, Schalke 04 continuously created a dangerous situation in the next few minutes. The return of the score to a draw is not enough to disturb the Atletico team. After all, Atletico has always been a strong team in La Liga. The main players are very experienced national or quasi-nationals. Only one point is wrong-yes, positive It was Pablo Ibanez.
Ibanez has suffered a double psychological and physical blow. Needless to say, the psychological blow is mainly from the violent impact of Zhou Tiancheng just now. Although it is temporarily awake, but pay attention The force is completely concentrated to deal with this high-intensity intensive bombing after Schalke's 04 goal and chase after victory. It is not possible to think about it consciously.
The loophole on his side happened to be exploited by Schalke 04. Rakitic focused his offensive focus around Ibanez. This time he focused more on conveying ground balls. This is a mature midfielder's performance. After all, innate conditions are there. Zhou Tiancheng can guarantee the face. Ibanes can have an advantage once or twice, but there is no guarantee that it will take advantage every time.
As a midfielder, not to pit teammates, to ensure the smooth development of the team's offense is a basic requirement.
Rakitic's main intention was to pass directly to Asamoa on the sidelines, but while Zhou Tiancheng swept the ball around, he very wisely turned around and took Ibanes to the ball in the penalty area. This poses another problem for the opponent: Ibanes is not slow to turn around in the high centre back, but he is flexible, and it is impossible to turn around and plug in faster than Zhou Tiancheng.
Magat praised Zhou Tiancheng as a "flexible big man", which is not said in front of the media, and Magat does not often praise people.
Less than ten minutes before the first goal, Schalke almost overtake. Asamoah passed a low ball before the penalty area, Zhou Tiancheng threw away Ibanez, outstriped to the middle road, stretched his foot less than two meters in front of the goal, the Schalke expedition fan's in the away team's fan zone has left the seat The chair, but Atletico goalkeeper Asenho responded quickly this time. He took the lead in front of the goal and risked the striker Zhou Tiancheng hit to sweep the ball out of the sideline.
Atletico players were all scared out of cold sweat, and Perea walked in front of Ibanes with a serious expression, reminding: "Iba, cheer up, you are our core!"
"Go to the core! The defense needs all of us to work together, Louis, what did you do just now?"
Of course Ibanes knew his responsibilities, he just couldn't swallow this in his heart, and he kept bored. So Perea just hit the muzzle this time, which became Ibanez's punching bag.
Although Peraia's expression was very unhappy, after all he didn't say anything, he endured this tone. If he is more true to Ibanese, there may be an internal conflict on the spot, and the game really does not need to be played.
From now on, with fifteen minutes as a node, Atletico dominated the scene in the first fifteen minutes. The advanced goal is the reaction of this advantage. However, from the overall trend of the game, the momentum of both sides showed a parabolic development trend. It's just the parabola on the contrary. At the moment of losing the ball, Schalke 04's momentum was at the lowest point, but as they boldly invested in the offense, the momentum was gradually climbing. Atletico has been suppressed.
Moreover, the goal just now was not finished, Schalke 04's offensive continued, and now the two players of Asamoah and Farfan in the frontcourt, like the beasts who have escaped from the cage, the wing breakthrough is completely unstoppable .
"It only takes one goal! As long as you can overtake, you can make Atletico unable to counterattack!" Marcel Leif is very anxious, and now is the best chance to overtake. Indeed, as he said, if Schalke can take the lead before the end of the first half, he will be able to turn the situation completely, and the game initiative will be completely controlled by Schalke 04.
However, Schalke was still a little behind from the lead. Zhou Tiancheng passed an exquisite heel to Farfan and Asamoah each on the front line, but the two started too early and crossed out of position in advance and ran to each other. Go behind the line of defense.
Two very imaginative pass and run cooperation, the idea is very good, but unfortunately the final result is offside.
In the first half of the game, only a 1:1 draw ended.
"It's a pity that Schalke took advantage of the opportunity to adjust Atletico Madrid's midfield, and Schalke could have taken advantage of the opportunity to win a key victory at the least cost." Listening to Marcel Leif's tone, it seems that Atletico Madrid is only a sand The meat at Erke’s mouth was the same at any time.
On the contrary, CCTV Duan Xuan should be more rational. From Schalke's perspective, he reminded: "It is not ruled out that Atletico can continue to grab the start of the second half. So the opening stage of the second half is a test. Schalke may wish to close the formation first. Both Aguero and Fran are extremely fast forwards, and Hevedes and Westman are not good at speed. Such a game tests patience, and Schalke's stamina is their biggest card."
In the Atlético Atlético locker room, Flores frowned and spurred Atlético players: "We have lost points that should not be lost. I don't think you are willing to just go home in the group stage and show your face in disappointment. ?"
No one answered him, Flores asked himself with a glance: "It seems yes, you all remember our goal... We just want to prove that football is a sport driven by spirit, not money! Even We have not invested much and are not worse than the Real Madrid lineup that was blown up by the reporters. I want to go to the knockout game to see the real big scene. From this second half, defeat the Bundesliga champion."
Some players thought of the knockout game, their faces overflowed, but Ibanez did not seem to hear it. He lowered his head and thought about how to effectively defend Zhou Tiancheng.
"Iba."
Hearing that the head coach called his name, Ibanez looked up and faced Flores with an unpleasant look. He heard Flores saying, "Come down and rest in the second half." He was anxious immediately. Stand up and explain: "Give me another chance, Kick, I promise to be scored by him only by accident."
Flores lightly explained: "I ignored, we just played a difficult game at Camp Nou, you really need to rest. Well Iba, give teammates some opportunities, we need the whole team Victory."
Ibanez sat down, drank the entire bottle of mineral water in front of him, and still couldn't feel the anger in his heart.
At the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid made a substitution adjustment. Ibanez's replacement was the young centre-back Gabriela after 90.
Marcel Reeve saw this substitution and said with a smile: "It seems that Flores is really intolerable to Ibanez's performance! I would rather give an 18-year-old young defender a chance, don't want to Leave him on the court for one more minute. It looks like Zhou has already done an important step."
The implication is simple. When a rookie in the Champions League comes up, the loopholes in the back line are bound to be greater.
And Juan Peach frowned, expressing deep doubts about this substitution: "Flores... has also played too much, and Pablo Ibanez is in a state of depression. But his experience will play a huge role in the defense. I really don’t understand why he should be replaced by such a young man. Joaquin Gabriela played in the Argentine First Division before and played only 40 minutes on behalf of Atletico. , And three pre-season warm-up matches. As for the Champions League experience, it is zero."
In fact, looking at the defense configuration of Atletico Madrid's first team, we can see that there are not many central defenders. In addition to the two central defenders starting, Uyfalusi and Gabrera can play, and Uyfalusi, who is not inexperienced, is also missing due to injury. It can be said that Flores is no choice but to die. Be a live horse doctor. (Gotting only arrived in Atletico in the summer of 2010. As for Jimenez, there are several other defenders who are now familiar with it.)
Replaced by a defender whose strength and experience do not match the platform very much, Flores's next response was full of offensiveness, requiring the front midfielder to start a high-level on Schalke. Reduce the pressure on the back line.
Raúl García is a tough guy with technical ability. On the defensive end, he really puts a lot of effort on his body. As long as the ball does not leave Rakitic's feet, he will be forced behind him to prevent Raki Ticky turned to face the frontcourt.
Zhou Tiancheng was pushed to the strike line, the problem was that the midfield changed from dual-core to single-core, Holtby was not enough to support the entire Schalke 04 offensive system.
Marcel Leif was right. Schalke did not seize the opportunity in the first half, and now the difficulty of the game has increased dramatically.
The team's poor midfield progress means that Zhou Tiancheng's chances of catching the ball on the front line have diminished. At this time, he can't control so much, taking the initiative to withdraw his position and looking for a chance to receive the ball. Before the retreat, however, he communicated with Asamoah and Farfan: "Don't play on the sidelines, you will be active near the restricted area of ​​the middle road. I withdrew the pass and gave the sideline to the full-back."
"Chou, are you sure that playing like this is effective?" Asamoah had some doubts.
"I'm not sure, but how do I know if I don't try it? I have to go back to meet Ivan, so I will give it to you in the front, you can play inside the side, and the middle road can't do it by speed."
When Zhou Tiancheng said this, the two immediately answered: "Just do what you say."
Men cannot say no.
For the rest of the game, both sides are using the speed of the forward players to create a threat, and Flores has successively replaced Reyes and Simao. The idea of ​​striving to win at home has become very obvious, but Schalke's defense is still solid, and the two central defenders have been shocked by the opening of small Aguero~EbookFREE.me~ The distance, coupled with Neuer's wide-range strike protection, did not leave much room for Atletico-as for the short pass to penetrate the defense line, Atletico's midfield configuration can not be done.
In turn, it turns out that Asamoah and Farfan directly faced the central defender in the middle, the effect was not obvious. In the face of the frontal shovel, it was difficult for the two to get rid of the central defender.
Hollerbach was on the sidelines and whispered to Magath: "Felix, we haven't practiced that way. Do you think Zhou is a midfielder or a forward? How did he run behind the two?"
It's easy for Magath to figure out what's going on, but he just smiled and said: "The player's whimsy on the court still needs to be encouraged, because it is them who really decide the game. Any questions will be discussed after the game."
In the second half, both sides went back and forth, but neither of them changed the score, and ended in a 1:1 draw.
Marcel Leff said bluntly in the comments after the game: "Although the result of the draw is not bad, Schalke deserves a victory. This also means that they want to win the plan to win the group stage this season. Haha! It's a pity to think about it. Five teams in the history of the Champions League have won the group stage, but no team has won the group stage for two consecutive seasons. It is a pity that Schalke missed this by doing this. The only'opportunity.'
However, from the point of view of Magath with a smile, he can achieve a point at Calderon Stadium, which has reached his plan. He pursues the big goal after the group's first qualifying, which is also his big plan to come here.
As for the consecutive two-season group stage victory, becoming this "only", Magath really does not care about these empty shelves that can only be seen useless.
If you can’t, you can’t.
