Chapter 63 Unexpected Situation

The fans, led by Richard, a famous fan of the Nice team, frowned as they watched the game on the field.

Richard is not an ordinary fan who has only watched football for a year or two, he is a senior hardcore fan.More than 20 years of watching football experience let him have a vision different from that of ordinary fans.He was very worried about what he saw.

The scene before his eyes was that the Nice team had a relatively high formation, fighting with Schalke 04 in the midfield, and then invested a lot in offense.It is a posture of giving up defense and only focusing on offense.

If the Nice team played this way in the first few games, he will be as happy as all other Nice fans.Because that's what they want to see.

But today he was not happy at all.As a senior fan, he understands that the strength of the Nice team is not as good as that of the Schalke 04 team.At the same time, he also knows that after the Schalke 04 team changed their coach this season, they are very good at playing fast defensive counterattacks, and at the same time, they also like to make high-pressure presses in the frontcourt.

Facing such a Schalke 04 team, isn't the Nice team's style of play today just to attack the other's strengths with their own short-term?

Richard couldn't figure out why Sun Yi would do this today.Obviously Sun Yi can only play defensive counterattacks, but he takes the initiative to attack opponents who are good at defensive counterattacks.

"This is simply messing around!" Richard, who finally had a slight liking for Sun Yi because of his four consecutive victories, had to start to suspect that Sun Yi's previous victory was entirely due to luck.Or be drunk today.

Drunk?How can it be?

Sun Yi is very sober now.It is because he is very sober that he decided to take a risky move today.

Everyone knows that the Nice team is far inferior to the Schalke 04 team in terms of overall strength.Everyone felt that facing the Schalke 04 team, the best and most likely option for the Nice team was to defend.It can be defended in multiple positions, especially when the positions of the midfielder and the backcourt are much different. It is very likely that you will not be able to defend.Even if they hold it, at most it will be a draw.

To be beaten passively is either to lose or to draw, Sun Yi naturally wants to do the opposite.You all expect me to play defense, so I'll attack.Not only can it be unexpected, but it can also try to give full play to the advantages of the Nice team on the front line.

The core idea of ​​Sun Yi's strategy is to fight against each other to see whose knife is sharper.Whoever stabs the opponent first will have the upper hand in victory.

Of course, if he had met Schalke 04 a month ago, Sun Yi might not have the determination to do so.But the strangely fast Thrall of the Schalke 04 team was sold to Manchester City by them earlier.Without the quick counterattack point of Sane, Sun Yi doesn't have to worry so much.

Sun Yi still has confidence in his arrangement today.

And after the game started, it really made him very happy.

The uncharacteristic approach of the Nice team was obviously beyond the expectations of the Schalke 04 team.Schalke 04 was very uncomfortable with Nice's strangling in the midfield and forwards desperately attacking.For a while, he played without any rules.

On the sidelines, Schalke 04 coach Andre Breitenwright frowned.This tactic of the Nice team completely exceeded his expectations.In his research and analysis, Nice is a team that likes to play defensive counterattacks.Both he and the coaching staff believe that the Nice team will definitely play a defensive counterattack today.

Breittenwright is the most familiar with defensive counterattacks, and he himself has been immersed in this aspect for many years.It is very thoughtful.Therefore, his previous preparations were all about how to counterattack against the Nice team.

With the strength of the Schalke 04 team, he is very confident in his arrangement.He felt that he was either a draw or a winner in this game, and his winning rate was very high.

Now the unreasonable situation of the Nice team has disrupted his arrangement.It was supposed to be the Schalke 04 team pressing high in the frontcourt and besieging the opponent.But now everything is reversed.

Breitenwright couldn't help feeling a little worried.

However, after pondering for a while, his brows loosened.

After thinking about it calmly, he felt that his opponent made a bad move today.Using methods that you are not good at will only expose your weaknesses more.

Now Sun Yi's arrangement looks like this to him.He felt that not only would it not be effective, but it would actually weaken the Nice team's offensive ability.The strongest of the Nice team is the counterattack driven by Salah. Now putting Salah in the positional battle is just tying his own hands and feet.

Now the discomfort caused by the Nice team to the Schalke 04 team is only temporary.When the Schalke 04 players get used to it, the Nanis team will only lose worse than imagined.

"Are you going to give me points? Young people, they are too impulsive and easy to take for granted!" Breitenwright smiled with a certain victory on his face, and turned to look at Sun Yi, unable to bear it. Live shook his head.

After thinking it over, Breiten Wright was more confident before the game.

As the game progressed, the Schalke 04 team gradually adapted as Breitenwright thought.Because they are good at pressing in the frontcourt, and they are also used to fierce confrontation.

Seeing this, it seems that everything has begun to proceed as Breitenwright just thought.

Breitenwright, however, was a bit wrong.Salah is very threatening in quick counterattacks, but he is not only threatening in counterattacks, he is also threatening in positional warfare.

In positional battles, Salah's speed may be limited, but his better dribbling ability and through pass ability make him the offensive engine of the Nice team in positional battles.

After playing for ten minutes, he has already passed two threatening balls for his teammates.

With Salah taking the ball and organizing in the frontcourt, Nice's offensive firepower is not weak at all.

Apart from Salah, Breitenwright was wrong about something else.That's the threat that Nice's defense and Schalke's 04 can bring on the counter-attack.

In fact, in order to defend Schalke 04's quick counterattack today, full-backs Dalbert and Pereira, who used to step forward to participate in the attack, were pressed by Sun Yi on the back line.In addition to sending Balotelli a 45-degree cross in the penalty area, their main task is to guard against the opponent's quick counterattack at any time.

The place where the quick counterattack is most effective is the opponent's flanks and the ribs between the center.Dalbert and Pereira, two full-backs with good speed, can just control these places.

As a result, the Schalke 04 team did not give full play to their characteristics and advantages in counterattack.

After 10 minutes of the game, Breiten Wright also began to discover this.

Schalke 04 had many chances to counterattack.But every quick counterattack did not achieve the desired effect.In the counterattack, the ball holder is always disturbed at the first time, and often the football will be stabbed out of the boundary.Then the fast break becomes positional warfare.

"What should I do?" Breitenwright had to start thinking about countermeasures.

And just when Breiten Wright's attention left the field for a while, the whole stadium burst into cheers.
