long live football

The game went on to the 38th minute in the first half.

Cologne is still attacking and attacking, but the impatience in their players' hearts has been completely reflected on their faces, and even the fans at the scene feel that something is wrong.

Everyone leaned forward, cast their eyes on the court, and stared at——

Cologne striker Maier Hoffer fired a long-range shot and the ball hit the 1860 Munich crossbar hard.

The football rebounded and fell, and Yankel jumped up on the spot and successfully caught the ball at his feet.

Karl scanned the restricted area of ​​Cologne and found that there was no one there except the goalkeeper!Even the two defenders who were originally standing near the penalty area moved more than ten meters away from the penalty area because of Cologne's attack just now, and their center and sideways are almost full of loopholes!

"Yankel!"

Karl ran to the sideline closest to Jankel, waved and shouted at him: "Pass! Counterattack! Now!"

Yanker was shocked, and reflexively sent a long pass at the football, and the football flew straight to the midfield!

Shao Jia kept his eyes on the football and ran quickly. He jumped up with the central defender of Cologne, but he jumped higher because of his lighter body, so he just touched the football first.

Then Shao Jia hit the middle of the football with his forehead, and the football flew towards the Cologne half!

And Yekas and Portillo, as early as when Jankel passed the ball, took a step and quickly broke through to the Cologne half. At this moment, they happened to be near the football landing point!

This is the counterattack of Munich 1860!

And tens of seconds ago, Cologne was still making an extremely threatening attack in front of Munich 1860, but only a few tens of seconds later, the situation has completely reversed!

"Munich 1860's opportunity is here!" The narrator shouted at this time: "They are like hungry wolves, under the siege of fierce tigers all the time, but now, the tigers are exhausted, so they show their fierceness. own fangs!"

The Cologne defenders also realized that something was wrong at this time. They rushed towards their own half, hoping to stop the attack of 1860 Munich.

But Yekas and Portillo have been able to understand each other after several games of training. The two of them first made a two-for-one cooperation, and then Yekas used his flexible feet to dribble the ball. Dodged the Cologne defender, and quickly made a pass from the bottom of the penalty area.

Portillo scores from close range!

The football spun violently and flew into the goal, wiping the Cologne keeper's sleeve!

"1:0! 1860 Munich took the lead at home!"

A burst of strong cheers erupted in the Olympic Stadium, and the fans who had been on tenterhooks for the home team for the first 10 minutes finally put their hearts back in their stomachs!

With a slight smile on his face, Karl glanced at the Cologne coach's bench: the corners of Lapoord's mouth were tight and his face was livid.

……

During the half-time break, in the home team's locker room at the Olympic Stadium in Munich.

Hasler raised his hand to signal: "We took a one-goal lead in the first half, shall we switch to a defensive formation in the second half?"

Carl smiled and said, "No, we still play defensive counterattack."

Someone wondered: "Cologne played half of the offense and didn't break our goal. Instead, we poured in a goal. If they were sober, they would not continue to attack in the second half, but would change tactics."

"I think the head coach of Cologne will implement his tactics from beginning to end." Karl smiled mysteriously.

What he didn't say was: Judging by the look on Laporte's face at the end of the first half, he wished he could throw ten footballs into the goal of Munich 1860 in the second half to take revenge.He is not calm and rational enough, so he should continue to attack in the future.But even if Laporte is lucky enough, he won't be able to hold back the whole second half. It will appear that Cologne is too aggrieved and will make him lose face.

The players didn't understand a little bit. They had been struggling on the field and didn't pay much attention to the head coach of Cologne, and they couldn't understand where Karl's confidence came from.Just out of trust in his coach, there were no different voices in the locker room.

"Although our keynote in the second half is still anti-reverse, but I ask you to firmly control the football at your feet from the beginning, even if it is only a multi-legged pass in the half, we must have an advantage over Cologne in terms of possession rate , If you lose the ball, you must press immediately and on the spot, you must grasp the rhythm of the game, and then wait for the opportunity."

Shao Jiayi asked, "What opportunity?"

Karl smiled: "Cologne's defense is full of holes."

……

After the start of the second half, Cologne continued to attack violently.

The players of Munich 1860, especially Hassler and others who had trouble figuring out the tactics during the intermission, couldn't help casting admiring glances at Karl who was standing outside the field. They were thinking at the moment: The boss, he Could it be mind reading?He is amazing!

The Bavarian sports channel commentator was puzzled and said: "What happened to the Cologne team today? If they want to score first, the offense in the first half can be explained a little bit, but half the game has passed, continue If you play like this, isn't Lapoulde afraid of the physical exhaustion of the players?"

Lapoord is naturally afraid, but he is even more afraid that after the game, the team will lose Cologne, and he will lose face by then.

So his instructions to the Cologne players are: must score a goal in the first 10 minutes of the second half, and then he will make substitutions outside the field to adjust, and the pressure on the team will be greatly reduced by then.

But the development of things was far from smooth as Lapoord imagined.

Because of the excessive exhaustion of their physical strength in the first half, many Cologne players have been exhausted since the 50th minute.

Munich 1860 seized a loophole in their wing and launched their own attack again!

Hassler dribbled the ball from the side to 15 meters in front of the penalty area, and an in-cut shot was saved by the Cologne goalkeeper, but Jekas immediately came to make a supplementary shot.

The Cologne goalkeeper was still lying on the ground at this time, unable to make any saves against the shot.

2: 0!

Two goals behind, Cologne coach Lapoulde became irritable. He ran to the side of the court and grabbed his hair with both hands while shouting towards the court: "Is your defense only chasing the ball? Don't let them Break into the restricted area!"

After 5 minutes, the Cologne players faithfully implemented the coach's will - more tackles and presses. As soon as the Munich 1860 forwards entered the penalty area, they defended one-on-one and made great moves.

But it also led to more fouls, with more than five Cologne players given verbal warnings and two yellow cards.

In the 67th minute, Cologne defender Blake saw Jekas dribble the ball straight into the penalty area, and fiercely aimed at his feet with a sliding tackle!But this tackle hit Yekas' calf, and Yekas fell to the ground with the ball.

The referee couldn't take it anymore, and directly gave Blake a second yellow card. Two yellow cards turned into one red, and he was sent off the field, and a penalty kick was awarded to Munich 1860.

Carl replaced Yekas with Lauter. Although the latter's leg was fine, his physical strength was almost exhausted.

When Yekas left the field, many fans stood in the stands and applauded him, while sending him off. For this player who has made a lot of contributions to the team in the game, many fans have a feeling of love and gratitude .

Hasler took the penalty for the team.

He placed the football in front of the penalty spot, then slowly backed away for a run-up.

Hassler's free throw technique is not the best in the current Munich 1860. Most of his shots are not tricky and the speed is not very fast, but he has one advantage that other players can't catch up with, that is Calm and experienced.

Penalty kicks test players the most, in fact, not their skills at their feet, but their mentality.

Only those with a calm mind can achieve the maximum hit rate when free throws are made.

When Hassler made a free throw, Carl was distracted on the sidelines. He was wondering who should be the team's first free throw shooter after Hassler retired in the summer?The current strikers in the team are very good, but their biggest problem is that they are too young and not stable enough, and there is also the question of who will be appointed as the captain after Hassler leaves...

A huge roar resounded throughout the stadium!

Karl came back to his senses and quickly looked at the Cologne goal, and found that Hassler had scored the penalty!

This means that...

1860 Munich already lead by three goals at home?

He couldn't help observing the situation on the field: the players of the Cologne team looked blank, as if they had suffered a fatal blow, while the players of 1860 Munich were smiling and celebrating with Hassler on the field.

Karl took another look at Laporte and found that the Cologne coach was on the verge of collapse.

Neither sympathy nor embarrassment.

It's like this in football, winners and losers.

Carl turned his head, continued to look at the court, and waved to the players to stop celebrating the resumption of the game. There are still more than ten minutes before the official end!

……

4:0, a bloody number on the scoreboard.

This shows one thing to all Bundesliga fans: Munich 1860, which is ranked behind Cologne in the standings, had a big counterattack today. It not only took away the second place in the standings, but also cruelly abused Cologne. once!

This is beyond everyone's expectations.

Well, even if someone predicted that Cologne would lose [-]% of the time before the game, they didn't expect to lose so badly.

In the Olympic Stadium in Munich, the visiting team's Cologne fans had all left early. Tens of thousands of Munich 1860 fans in the stadium started celebrating more than ten minutes ago.

In the VIP box, the club chairman Orr couldn't close his mouth.

And Mourinho, who was sitting next to him, didn't bother to flatter him. To be honest, with Mourinho's intelligence and arrogance, he would not take the initiative to get close to the owner of any small club, because he knew that he would The future is destined to be associated with rich and powerful families.

Just now, Mourinho is also thinking a lot in his mind:

The coach of Cologne tried to smash the goal of Munich 1860, but he was played by Karl in the applause instead.

Carl, he has now grown to a state that even Mourinho is surprised by - the kind of people who simply stand in front of the coach's bench, seem to be in control of the overall situation, and quietly attract all the attention The aura of a person is formed by multiple factors such as wisdom, character, and charm.

Mourinho's heart suddenly beat a little faster in his chest, and many expectations rose in his heart.

Looking forward to the day when Munich 1860 returns to the Bundesliga and enters the Champions League, it would be great if we can be in the same group as Chelsea.

He wants to fight Carl again, because he is sure that the collision between the two can ignite many ideas in his mind.

Although that day may be very far away, he is willing to wait and waits patiently.

……

After the referee blew the final whistle, Karl and Laporte led their respective players to meet in the mixed zone.

He took the initiative to extend his hand to the other party, and said with a smile: "I learned a lot from the duel with you today. I wish Cologne good luck in the future."

The reporters were excited when they saw this. They took a camera in one hand and a ballpoint pen in the other hand to make shorthand notes in their notebooks. At the same time, they said with emotion: Auston, Mourinho, Lapoulde, 4:0... this game It's so exciting and so topical!Simply more interesting than many Bundesliga games!

But Lapoord just glanced at Carl with a sullen face, completely ignored his right hand, turned around and left.

The flashlight flickered nearby.

On the second day, Karl maintained his handshake posture, but the photo of his innocent and surprised expression hit the headlines of many newspapers, which aroused the affection of countless female fans.
