Vol 2 Chapter 30: The battle that determines fate (below)

As the start time approached, the players from both sides came to the center of the court and looked at each other. The expressions on the Tubingen team are relatively easy, and the performances of the Hoffenheim players are more excited. They may think that as long as they win the game, the championship is almost complete, right?
In the same four-round victory, Hoffenheim's performance was extremely stable, while Tubingen's performance was getting worse and worse. No wonder the players' confidence swelled.
However, Flick's performance was surprising. Just after the start of the game, Hoffenheim retired completely and started a defensive counterattack. Although some dissatisfaction was seen in the faces of Hoffenheim players, no one opposed the tactical arrangement of the head coach.
Wang Ai and Ozil were both on the court. Wang Ai glanced at the side of the field in surprise, Flick stared seriously in the field with both hands in his coat pocket.
"What is this guy thinking? Did our deception tactics come to light?"
Wang Ai pondered while watching the situation on the field. After 5 minutes, Wang Ai basically confirmed that Flick should not have seen through the strategies of the Tubingen youths, but saw the important difference between the Tubingen youths and the Hoffenheim team.
The Tubingen youth team has better defense. They have conceded only one goal in four games, while Hoffenheim has lost seven. If they play against Tubingen, they will likely be blocked outside the gate. An untrustworthy back line, but is likely to be penetrated by opponents.
In order to seek victory, Flick consciously strengthened the personnel density to defend, while the young defending line of Tubingen's youth was old, small, and fast. As long as Tubingen was attracted, he could use the team's strong years The striker fought back, using speed to break Tubingen's defense.
This Hoffenheim team's tactics are far from Tubingen's tactical assumptions. Before the game, Huffenheim never thought that Huffenheim actually defensively counterattacked against Tubingen.
But this tactic is very effective. After several minutes of trials in the opening minutes, Hoffenheim showed his tusks decisively: In the 11th minute, the Hoffenheim team attacked in the backcourt, and a long pass found the 442 formation midfield and backcourt junction, Boa Teng struggled to chase back, but couldn't shorten the distance quickly. The two Hoffenheim strikers entered Tubingen's backcourt like two arrows. There was a big mess. In the end, it was Feffer's shovel that destroyed this. Offense.
After this, Hoffenheim's tactics frequently threatened.
Speed ​​forwards, whether physical, strength, or pure speed, make Mertesacker very difficult. He often only has a chance to intercept and say that if it can't be intercepted, it can only be out of reach.
In the first 20 minutes, although Tubingen was pressing Hoffenheim on the scene, from the actual attack effect, the opposite was true. Even Wang Ai had to retreat to assist the defense, but his weight was too light. Compared with the more than 180 kilograms of forwards who rushed up, Wang Ai flew at the touch and could only assist the defense.
Wang Ai is not unable to change the result of the game by virtue of his personal ability. For these rough amateur players, Wang Ai's technical advantage is too great. However, Wang Ai cannot do this. This is different from the national team games. For example, the Asian and Asian Games, there are only five or six games. The next year, you will have to play next year. Even if you rely on Wang Ai, other players will have a whole year. Time to grow. However, in the case of professional teams, once a week or even a week, the dependence on a certain player is very terrible. Not only will it drag down the growth of other players, but it will also put too much pressure on Wang Ai. It will be certain that the fire will be caught, and the physical burden will be too great. Wang Ai doesn't want to fight with these amateur players, so he has been trying to adjust the team's status, and he is willing to assist.
But as important as today's game with the Hoffenheim team, Wang Ai did not mind fighting.
Just as Wang Ai was preparing to venture into the striker line, Feifuer came to Wang Ai and whispered two words: "I think Pell and Boateng should be replaced."
"You mean, let Pell take charge of the first interception and attack scheduling in the midfield, avoid the shortcomings of slow running, and give Boateng more time and space on the back line to defend the rapid strike of the opponent's forward?" Wang Ai realized instantly.
Fei Fuer gave a thumbs up, Wang Ai nodded, and the two found Murdessacker and Boateng in the front and back, respectively, and quietly completed the transposition. Huffenheim's head coach Flick didn't notice the change in position of the Tubingen youth this time, and he was still not used to the situation where the opponent did not have a head coach. The team's performance in the first 20 minutes made Flick very satisfied. He studied this method for a long time before the game and thought of this method. The effect is quite good. Should the boss Hope be satisfied?
However, twenty minutes later, the situation on the court began to change. The Hoffenheim team's counterattack often faces the interception of a big man with a good sense of height and long legs just before they get the ball. After the interception, an attack on the Hoffenheim is formed immediately. And even if this big man can't intercept it, the forward strikes the opponent's defense line with a high speed, and will face a bearded barbarian with high speed interception and harassment. The forward ability of this team is average and the shooting skills are not very good. Thus, under frequent high-intensity harassment, the shots are often outrageous.
It seems that our team's tactics are not good enough?
Flick looked surprisedly at Tubingen's midfield and back, and hurriedly found out the opponent's formation layout from his pocket. After looking at it for a while, he discovered the hidden transposition.
"The opponent's offensive is getting more and more aggressive, what should I do?" Flick bit his thumb nervously, but he couldn't figure out a way. Before the game, he thought his tactical arrangement was perfect, and he never expected that a team without a head coach could adjust it so quickly.
However, the game does not care whether he is anxious and afraid.
The prerequisite to the midfield is the terrible interception ability of Mertesacker, especially when it is targeted at the forward players who have just started with less speed.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Mertesacker intercepted another one, and his tall perspective was very good. He saw Allison holding his hand for the ball, and saw Ozil waiting for the pass in front of the left, and saw the king. Ai is sneaking on the line with the opponent's central defender, and that's it!
Mertesacker made a quick long pass, crossed the defense line between Wang Ai and the defender of Hoffenheim. Wang Ai, who was already ready, started immediately and jumped home against the ball, right foot in mid air The bow cushioned the football, and the football changed its direction and speed instantly. After Wang Ai's right foot landed, the football just slipped into the mid-left front air, and Wang Ai's left foot had already been lifted at this time.
Half-turned and drew a big arc!
At this time, Wang Ai just stepped into the penalty area. The goalkeeper only felt the opponent in front of him jumped off the ball and then unloaded the pass. Then, the football quickly zoomed in. He only had time to turn his eyes. When the football entered the net, he His neck reacted, staring stiffly at the football, and he couldn't believe what happened.
Rabbit rises and falls!
