Chapter 204 Changing coaches is like changing knives?

This is the first time that Zhang Yuan came to Karlsruhe's home stadium --- Weld Stadium. This stadium is used for both football and track and field, but it seems to be basically used as a football field now, because it has already If it does not meet international standards, it cannot host track and field competitions.

The capacity of the entire stadium is not large, and it can seat more than 3 spectators. There are still a lot of fans present today. A high attendance rate is a characteristic of Bundesliga teams, whether they are underdogs or strong teams.

Schalke 04's starting lineup today is:

Goalkeeper: Neuer
Defenders: Rafinha, Bolton, Westerman, Pender
Midfielders: Engelal, Jones, Rakitic

Forwards: Farfan, Zhang Yuan, Altintop Jr.

Karlsruhe has a 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Miller

Defenders: Glitz, Sebastian, Franz, Eichner
Defenders: Mutzel, Polcello

Attacking midfielders: Fries, Da Silva, Yashvili
Forward: Kennedy
After the opening, Schalke 04 turned away and firmly grasped the situation on the field. Zhang Yuan was very active in retreating and connecting. Karlsruhe actually had a certain advantage in the number of midfielders, but the key was With Zhang Yuan's retreat, they couldn't adapt to this pass and control style of play at all.

In the No. 15 minute, the city of Karlsruhe was broken. When Zhang Yuan received a pass from Farfan and shot in the penalty area, he was pulled down by Karlsruhe captain Franz. The referee took a penalty kick and gave Franz a penalty. Ci showed a yellow card.

Zhang Yuan personally took the penalty and volleyed the middle of the goal vigorously. Miller judged the wrong direction and jumped to the right. Schalke 04 led 1-0 in the away game.

After this goal, both sides played more openly. No.20 minutes, Schalke 04 found a good opportunity again. Schalke 04 took a two-goal lead.

Since then, the actions of the two sides have become a bit big. Karlsruhe fell behind by two goals, the players must be upset, and the actions became more and more serious. Zhang Yuan was knocked down frequently, and Farfan was also one of their key care objects.

Such foul tactics regardless of cost obviously played a very good role, and Schalke 04's offense was blocked.

But soon Zhang Yuan told them not to foul so easily. In the 41st minute, Zhang Yuan dribbled the ball on the right side of the penalty area and was pulled down by Muzel. The referee took a free kick.

Free kicks are still the number one in Rafinha this season, and Zhang Yuan has become the second free thrower. This time Zhang Yuan asked for this free kick from Rafinha. He wants Karlsruhe to try his free kick ball.

After setting up the ball, Zhang Yuan retreated 5 or 6 meters away. This position is about 20 meters away from the goal. It is not good for Zhang Yuan, a right-footed player, to choose to shoot directly, but he confuses Karl with this posture. Sruhe's players, everyone's most intuitive feeling is that Zhang Yuan will definitely shoot with a strong volley.

Starting to run, Zhang Yuan was aggressive, but when he was approaching the ball, he slowed down and kicked a deciduous ball, which hung straight to the near corner.

Miller flew and touched the football with his fingertips, but he still didn't get the ball out of the net, and the ball went in!

Zhang Yuan scored twice, and Schalke 04 extended its lead to three goals. Many fans must have never imagined that Schalke 04 had such a big lead in the first half.

Buskens and Mulder applauded at the same time. Zhang Yuan's role in the center position is obvious. His style of play has enriched Schalke 04's style of play. All three goals were equal to his There is a relationship, it can be said that he directed the first half of Schalke 04.

Karlsruhe head coach Edmund Becker helplessly spread his hands on the sidelines. The huge gap in strength has kept Karlsruhe from having an advantage in the scene, but he is at his home court and desperately needs a victory. At the beginning of the game, he didn't choose to stick to it.

Now it seems that sticking to it may not be a way out, and it is not bad to get one point. Who made a mistake in his judgment, thinking that Schalke 04 is not in a good state recently, and fantasized about getting three points.

Schalke 04's team formation today is not what he expected. Zhang Yuan's center forward and Kuranyi are completely different concepts and styles of play. Now he only regrets that he did not do enough work before the game.

And Karlsruhe has no other choice but to attack, no matter how slim the hope is, they have to fight.

In the first half, Schalke 04 had a halftime break with a score of 3:0. Buskens praised the players in the locker room, and also pointed out some problems on the field, that is, the two wingers Al Jr. Tuntop and Farfan didn't play very often in the penalty area.

In addition, in Karlsruhe's fierce pressing and unscrupulous foul tactics, the players of Schalke 04 were not calm. Farfan got a yellow card for revenge on Franz, and Zhang Yuan also got a yellow card for revenge on Polcello. Received a yellow card.

"You have to calm down and don't let the other party get angry! I don't want us to fight with ten players in the second half!" Buskens sternly warned Farfan and Zhang Yuan.

Farfan and Zhang Yuan are young and easily irritated by each other on the court. Zhang Yuan is not a good young man. Last year against Bayern Munich, Lucio trampled on him. It's going to be a full martial arts fight with Lucio.

Becker also warned his players to reduce fouls. In the first half, the referee was merciful to the home team. Franz had a yellow card on his back and dared to slap Farfan. The yellow card was for the home team again, and he should have been off the field in the first half.

Changing sides to fight again, Karlsruhe's situation has not changed much, and it is still behind in controlling the situation. When the two sides faced each other in the first half, Karlsruhe completed 6 shots, but now it is difficult for them Hit the penalty area of ​​Schalke 04.

With an absolute lead in the second half, Schalke 04 naturally controlled the ball more firmly to prevent Karlsruhe from getting the ball and launching a counterattack.

It didn't take long for the Karlsruhe players to lose their composure, especially as the captain Franz saw Schalke 04 holding the ball and became anxious.

In the 56th minute, he fouled Farfan again. Before the referee said anything, the line referee raised it up to signal Franz to foul. Originally, this was just a free kick. He probably thought the free kick in this position was dangerous, so He ran to the line judge and looked into the line judge's eyes. He didn't swear, but he was very emotional and sprayed the line judge all over his face with saliva.

The referee couldn't stand it anymore, and directly gave Franz a yellow card, and then sent him off with a red card.

What's funny is that after the referee showed the red card, Franz didn't say a word. He took off the captain's armband and handed it to his teammates before leaving the game. It makes people wonder if the captain took the initiative to apply for a red card to end the game ah!

Becker shook his head and replaced Muzel with Stoll. This game is definitely lost, so think about how to lose less.

Stel is a central defender, and Becker replaced a defensive midfielder with a central defender. First of all, he must ensure the integrity of the back line.

After Stel came on the field, Zhang Yuan was the target of defense. At this time, the free kick had not yet been taken, and Rafinha gestured to his teammates in the penalty area.

The players at Schalke 04 all know the meaning of his gestures, point forward.

Naturally, Stel kept pulling Zhang Yuan's jersey in his hand, and Zhang Yuan kept patting Stel's hand away with his hands.

At this time, Zhang Yuan is still maliciously guessing that Stel's hand must be swollen by him!
Rafinha kicked off the ball. Zhang Yuan hadn't moved before. The purpose was to give Steer a surprise attack. Steer hadn't let go, but Zhang Yuan suddenly started and the impact was up. Steer suddenly pulled Can't help the sweat-soaked jersey.

At the previous point, Zhang Yuan ran a bit too far, but he used an unconventional action to shoot, and used his heel to push the pad towards the goal. Of course, he was invisible, and it was entirely by his own feeling that changed Lafite. The direction of the Nia free kick.

Rafinha's forward point was very close to the goal, and Miller blocked the short corner, but Zhang Yuan ran over and made a pad, and he was completely helpless.

The ball hit Karlsruhe's gate again, and Franz's concerns became reality. A free kick from this position is a great threat.

After scoring the goal, Zhang Yuan completed his hat-trick. Excited, he ran to the corner kick and knelt to celebrate. His teammates surrounded him and hugged him.

After the celebration, Zhang Yuan pointed to his teammate Rafinha with both hands, "Thank you, Rafael! You helped me complete the hat-trick!"

"My God, how did you do it, you ran past and followed with your heels!" Rafinha praised.

Zhang Yuan shrugged proudly, and deliberately gave Rafinha a big hug alone.

Buskens and Mulder on the sidelines were determined, with a four-goal advantage, and Karlsruhe, which had one less player to fight, was basically sure that it would not be able to recover from the defeat.
