Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 241 World Wave

In the 28th minute, Werder Bremen launched a counterattack. Rosenberg volleyed unattended near the penalty area. The angle was too positive and was confiscated by Neuer.

Schalke 04 did not have the best chance until the 31st minute. Zhang Yuan dribbled past Baumann, passed Mertesacker on the left side of the Werder Bremen penalty area, and kicked near the small penalty area. Shot, the ball was shot too squarely, right in Weize's arms.

This was Zhang Yuan's first shot in the first half and Schalke 04's third shot in the first half.

It's a pity that this opportunity was missed, and Schalke 04 fans hugged their heads with regret!
After playing this, the two teams fell into a stalemate again and entered the intermission. The score between the two sides was still 0:0.

During the intermission, Buskens and Mulder readjusted their tactics.

"In the second half, we need to use more long balls. Zhang Yuan, you have to fight for the top! Gerrard, Jefferson, you need to play more high balls on the wing! Ivan leans a little further, pay attention to the second point!" Bu Skens gave instructions to several players.

Everyone nodded. Zhang Yuan didn’t like this style of play very much. He prefers the cooperation on the ground. Fighting for the top is not his strong point, but he won’t say it now. Long pass is a good way to fight in rainy days. He has no reason To question the coach's decision.

He didn't want to end himself, so he had to follow the coach's arrangement!

"We must work hard in the second half and score goals as soon as possible!" Zhang Yuan thought to himself, he knew that if he could not complete the task of fighting for the top of Buskens and Mulder on the front line, and did not score a goal, then he would be very upset. It is possible to be replaced by Kuranyi, who is good at heading the ball.

After the [-]-minute break, the two sides resumed the game. Zhang Yuan was stopped by Buskens when he left the locker room door.

"Zhang Yuan, you have to work hard! In the second half, you should strengthen your long-range shots from outside the penalty area! You should try this method on this rainy day, and you may score a goal!" Buskens said, patting Zhang Yuan on the shoulder.

Long shot? !Why didn't I think of it? !

It was only at this time that Zhang Yuan came to his senses. He really should strengthen his long-range shots in this rainy day, but he didn’t think about it in the first half, and he didn’t even have a long-range shot. He should try it in the second half.

After the start of the second half, Werder Bremen's Schaff still did not change his tactics. Schaff's consistent style of play, the two full-backs used more frequently to go up, and it is still the same today, but the effect has been compromised.

On the one hand, the midfielder and Schalke 04 struggled inextricably, and the number of insertions was limited. On the other hand, the quality of crosses from Fritz and Bernisch in this rainy day was not high, and their own level was also limited.

Fritz even took a wide-footed kick from the sidewalk and flew into the audience behind the goal, causing the fans to boo him.

Schalke 04 began to use long passes frequently according to the arrangement of the head coach. Zhang Yuan's header is indeed not his strong point, especially since the Mertesackers and Naldo are both big men above 1.9 meters. It's really not worth it.

In the 60th minute, Buskens made a substitution adjustment. Kobiashvili was replaced by Englar in the middle, Asamoah was replaced by Kuranyi, and the formation was adjusted to 442, playing double forwards.

Kuranyi went up to the front to fight for the header, Zhang Yuan played the second striker position, Rakitic played on the left, and Farfan played on the right of the midfield.

The main responsibility of Jones and Engelal in the middle is to intercept. Buskens saw that Zhang Yuanzheng did not have the advantage of heading the ball, but he was reluctant to replace Zhang Yuan, so he resorted to the tactics of double forwards and sent Kuranyi to ease the attack. The pressure on Zhang Yuan.

This trick is very effective, because with Kuranyi on top, Zhang Yuan can move more freely, and he can go to both sides of the middle lane.

Kuranyi is not in good condition, and it is still possible to be a qualified pile in front. Mertesacker and Naldo both focus on Kuranyi. After all, Kuranyi's header skills are in their images is nice.

In the 65th minute, Farfan went down and passed Bernisch to make a cross. Kuranyi fought hard and gave the ball to Zhang Yuan on the left side of the penalty area. After Zhang Yuan took the ball, Mertesacker immediately pushed forward.

Long arms and long legs are also an advantage. After poking, Zhang Yuan lost the ball, but Zhang Yuan reacted quickly, turned around and caught up with the ball again. This time he turned his back again, and it was a bit troublesome to completely get rid of Mertesacker.

Zhang Yuan swiped the ball with his left foot, a fake action of a reverse bicycle, and then immediately cut across with his right foot. Before Mertesacker stretched his leg, he took a long shot with his foot.

Whether he can score or not depends entirely on feeling and luck. Zhang Yuan just roughly judged the position of the goal based on the position where he caught the ball just now. At this time, he made a shot based on his feeling.

When Zhang Yuan shot the goal, he directly pumped it with the back of his foot. The purpose was to kick a ball and bounce off the ground in front of the goal.

He did it. The model Sutter stretched out his long legs and failed to touch the ball. The ground fell at a low altitude and bounced on the slippery ground, which affected Wiese's judgment of the ball's trajectory.

Kicking off to the side, Zhang Yuan's sudden long-range shot finally defeated Wiese and got into the lower left corner of Werder Bremen's gate.

Schalke 04 led Werder Bremen 1:0 at home, and Zhang Yuan scored a crucial goal in his first comeback in the league.

Buskens jumped up in the coaching area, turned around and hugged Mulder who was running over.

"I said that kid will definitely do it! I said that kid will definitely do it!" Buskens said excitedly to Mulder.

When the substitution was made just now, Mulder suggested that Zhang Yuan's frontcourt role is not obvious under the current tactics. It is better to replace him and let Kuranyi fight for the header. Buskens refused desperately, insisting that Zhang Yuan should Stay on the field.

In the end, he made the right bet, and Zhang Yuan knocked on the opponent's door with a world wave, giving Schalke 04 the lead.

"goa...l! A world wave from our Lightning Boy Zhang Yuan! Gained the lead for us! The Lightning Boy who just came back obviously didn't need any adaptation, he adapted to the game perfectly! Let's cheer Lightning together Kid——Zhang Yuan!" The on-site commentator may have not called for a goal for the home team for a long time, and this time he dragged on for a long time.

"Blitz! Blitz!..." the fans of Schalke 04 shouted loudly!
After Zhang Yuan scored a goal, he also ran under the stands of the fans and interacted with them. After the game started in the second half, the Schalke 04 fans couldn't sit still. Could the team only play this kind of long pass? !We're not bloody Brits!
At that time, there were boos in the stadium, boos to the coach and players of the home team, but now you score a goal, everything can be forgotten!

The interaction between Zhang Yuan and the fans aroused the enthusiasm of the fans. At the end of the celebration, Zhang Yuan signaled the fans to cheer and cheer!

Schaff squatted in the coaching area before scoring the goal, and stood up again after scoring the goal. He spread his hands helplessly, and the world waved without solution!
The players of Werder Bremen were a little hit, especially Ozil, who stared at Zhang Yuan with both eyes and was a little helpless.

So far in this game, Ozil has not played well. In the attacking midfielder position, he was followed by Jones like a shadow, and he could not give full play to his passing advantage.

Only at this time did he feel that Zhang Yuan's golden boy deserved his name, and he was really inferior to Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan's performance in this game was not very good, but sometimes he could decide the game with a flash of inspiration. , but I still can't do it myself.

Re-kick-off, the morale of the Schalke 04 players was high. Werder Bremen's Schaff did not make any adjustments. He just replaced Bernisch with Pasanin. Bernisch is Schalke The old player in 04 was not only booed by the fans like Ozil in this game, but also played like Ozil. The pass just now passed by Farfan from his side.

It is a habit of Schaaf to squat in the coaching area again. As the head coach, Schaaf's level of on-the-spot command and substitution needs to be improved to be fair.

Generally, his formation and tactics are fixed, and he always fights to the end with this tactic. When the wind is going smoothly, the opponent can't stop him no matter what.

Just like at this moment, after Buskens adjusted to 442, the two midfielders are responsible for intercepting, Rakitic and Farfan on the wing suppress Werder Bremen's offense, Werder Bremen has nothing to do Attack to the hinterland of Schalke 04.

In the 80th minute of the game, Schaff made a second substitution adjustment, allowing Hanik to replace Rosenberg.

Harnik's ability to hold the ball is better than that of Rosenberg. At this time, Schaff tried to change the situation by strengthening the ball-handling players in the frontcourt, but everything was over.

The game time ended soon, Schalke 04 beat Werder Bremen 1:0 at home and successfully scored 3 points.
