Chapter 70 A powerful opponent

The answer is naturally no.

Schalke U19 had close to 19% of the overall ball possession rate in the first half, and eight shots were within the range of the goal frame. It is not normal to miss a goal. Wolfsburg U[-] wants to continue to be favored by the goddess of luck and drag the game into a point The decisive battle is just their wishful thinking.

At the beginning of the second half, Elgert actively changed the formation of the three central defenders and began to strengthen the attack. Schalke U19 has been in an active offensive situation in the first half, and the physical consumption is much smaller than that of the opponent. Naturally, there are further measures at this time. Pressured capital.On the other hand, Wolfsburg is already at the end of its strength. It is really lucky to be able to withstand Schalke's onslaught in the final stage of the first half. It broke the opponent's already highly nervous psychology.

In 7 minutes, Jiang Hao dribbled the ball into the penalty area and faced the opponent's blocking, showing his progress since the past half of the season. With a flick of his ankle, he swung his leg and volleyed extremely quickly, sticking to the ground and rushing directly into the dead corner on the left side of the goal.The central defender who was swayed by Jiang Hao just now wanted to adjust the remedy, but it was too late just as he turned his weight around.

For Schalke U19, the progress of the next game should be much smoother.The role of the first goal is to pierce the fragile window paper and break the balance of the score.Generally speaking, as long as the first goal appears, the party with a clear advantage will win the final victory.

The progress of the game is indeed going according to the conventional script.Only 3 minutes after Jiang Hao broke the deadlock for the team, he created a penalty kick for the team. Jiang Hao was very generous this time, and gave Zhou Tiancheng the chance to make the final decision. Lock the win.

After leading 2:0, Elgort began to rotate core players such as Zhou Tiancheng and Jiang Hao one after another, planning for the finals.The possibility of the opponent scoring two goals in a row is almost negligible. What Schalke U19 needs to avoid most at this time is the accidental injury of the core players. If it affects the prospect of playing in the finals, it will not be worth the candle.

Elgort has rich experience in this area. Facts have proved that replacing Zhou Tiancheng and Jiang Hao will not get many opportunities for the opponent. 2:0 is also the final score at the end of the game.Schalke became the first team to advance to the finals, a successful step forward compared to last year.

After winning the game, Elgort gave the players a special day off to relax and unwind, but he also said the ugly things up front. For the next finals, he asked everyone to prepare for the game with the fullest spirit.

The team members left the base for the holiday, but Elgert couldn't be idle at all. Early the next morning, he took the train directly to Munich, the capital of Bavaria in southern Germany, to watch another semi-final match on the spot.

Originally, these tasks could have been done by the professional scouts and analysts of the club, and there was no need for Elgort, a man in his 50s, to make a trip in person, but Elgort also had his own reasons.As the head coach, his focus is different from that of others. The key point is that in such an important finals, Elgort always feels that he can only have more confidence in himself if he has first-hand information.

Of course, Elgort's focus is on Bayern U19s, and he has indeed worked hard enough to win back the championship.

Compared with Schalke's semi-final a day ago, today's game is much more stalemate.Borussia Dortmund and Bayern are the two clubs with the most historical background in German football. The collision at the first team level is dubbed the German national derby. The collision of the youth echelon is also not giving in to each other.

Bayern U19 is stronger than Dortmund.However, in the first half, Dortmund turned away from the guest, and the scorer was Dortmund U19 genius Mario Gotze.Following the youth Ruhr Derby, he broke the goal of the Bundesliga giant Bayern youth team.No wonder the Borussia Dortmund U19 coach was grinning from ear to ear.

If there are no major accidents, the young Gotze will be a dazzling new star in German football.

……

Elgort also showed a knowing smile when he saw Dortmund take the lead.This development of the situation is also what Schalke hopes.

Although Schalke's ambition to regain the championship this season is unstoppable, but two opponents with completely different difficulty coefficients are in front of them. Under normal circumstances, they all know how to choose.

However, Dortmund's lead did not last long. Bayern seemed to be awakened by the first goal and began to launch a fierce counterattack.

Watching the home team quickly seize the initiative on the field, equalize and overtake the score within 5 minutes, Elgort frowned slightly, and the main threat of Bayern has emerged in front of him.

Elgort, armed with a miniature video camera and a notebook, focused mainly on Bayern U19 striker No. 11.

He scored two consecutive goals for Bayern U19s.Once in front of the goal, he went around a small half arc from the back point and grabbed the ball in front of the Dortmund defender.The second goal was even more impressive. Originally, he was in a disadvantageous position in the penalty area with his back to take the ball. As a result, he accidentally completed the coherent movement of pulling the ball, turning around and shooting, which is equivalent to directly volleying the ball in a sideways state. Goal for Dortmund.

This goal made Elgort, who was watching the game from the sidelines, widen his eyes.

"It feels so good in front of the door?"

Elgort couldn't help but think of Jiang Hao, who also has a strong finishing ability, but it is obvious that the No. 19 of Bayern U11, the ability demonstrated by this coherent movement, Jiang Hao cannot match.

Elgort vaguely felt that with this shooter's ability, he shouldn't be unknown on the scorer list.So he turned on his phone and logged into the youth league scorer list for this season.Sure enough, the player who ranks first in the scorer list and has scored fifteen goals so far is the No. 19 player of Bayern U11.

Thomas Muller.

……

As the game progressed, Bayern gradually showed dominance on the field, and Elgort's expression became more serious. The opponent's top scorer, the top scorer, was enough to give him a headache, but the strength of this Bayern U19 echelon is just as strong as theirs. Same with the first team.Never relying on the personal flashes of a certain star to stun opponents, facing the super midfield control of the German team is the foundation of Bayern's long-term domination of the Bundesliga.

And Bayern's youth team completely inherited this glorious tradition.

Elgort felt the pressure like never before.The players have never encountered a strong opponent at Bayern's level before.Even Dortmund were suppressed to the point of parrying.A few days later, how much power would your own team have to fight back?
Elgort couldn't help but sweat for those young people under him who have gone so smoothly.

PS: As I said before, before it goes on the shelves, it will be updated every Saturday.Give me some time to save more manuscripts, and try to have a 10th update on the shelves.
