Chapter 508 Red Card
Although he had a hunch before the game, the old Redknapp didn't expect to lose two goals in a row after only half an hour of playing, and the scene was so passive.
In the past two seasons, Schalke 04's offensive power is well-known throughout Europe. The combination of Sun Wu and Rakitic is known as the top three midfield combinations in Europe. Although they have different characteristics, they all have high scoring efficiency.
Although he was not reconciled, the old Redknapp made the most appropriate adjustments, commanding the team to make a large recovery, strengthen the defense and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Van der Vaart and Modric both recovered deeply. Facing Schalke 04's high-position press, they sent the ball directly to the two wings to allow Bell and Lennon to use their personal abilities to find opportunities.
This tactic is quite appropriate... Sun Wu muttered in his heart, this Lampard's uncle really has two brushes.
It is a common pattern to use long balls to deal with high pressing... However, the passers are Modric and van der Vaart, and the wing breakers are Gareth Bale and Lennon. Erke 04's defense poses no small threat.
Sun Wu didn't discuss with Rangnick, and he directed the team to retreat and start to control the ball. Facing a player like Gareth Bale, he couldn't give him too much room to start.
"Look, I don't need to tell you." Lannick, who had just got up, sat back on the coach's bench again, "With Best, at least it is very effective in protecting the voices of the coaching staff!"
Slomka couldn't help laughing. It is true that the head coach on the sidelines has many ways to direct the team, but the most common and commonly used method is to shout directly.
"Schalke 04 recovered, and the game has entered a stalemate. Now it depends on whether Tottenham can win a victory before the end of the first half." Zhan Jun said with a smile: "We all know that Tottenham's attack power this season is not enough. Not much weaker than Schalke 04, especially the two wings and the central midfield."
"Indeed, both van der Vaart and Modric can be regarded as first-class midfielders in the Premier League." Zhang Lu also said: "Both the organizational ability and the direct threat to the goal are excellent."
"Actually, when interviewed before Schalke 04's departure, Sun Wu spoke highly of Tottenham's midfield partner." Zhan Jun's work on data collection is very good, "He believes that Modric has Probably one of the best midfielders in the world."
Zhang Lu laughed and asked, "What about his evaluation of himself?"
"Haha, the reporter asked the same question at the time." Zhan Jun laughed and said, "Sun Wu's answer is that to be the best one requires individual outstanding performance as well as the honor of the team."
"Sun Wu has never concealed his pursuit and desire for honor!"
In the 39th minute, Tottenham organized a very threatening attack. Modric, Sandro, and Van der Vaart, who retreated, made continuous passes and cuts in the middle circle.
Just entering the 40-meter area, Modric did not choose to break through Jones who was approaching him, but passed sideways to Hector on the wing. It seemed that this was an ordinary kick.
But Sun Wu sensed the danger, and before he could remind, Modric's right foot retracted, and then popped out like a spring!
"Outside the instep!" Zhan Jun said loudly: "Bell...flip the ball and turn around!"
Sun Wu quickened his steps to return to defense, biting his lip in regret, the instep of the magic flute's outer instep is amazing, why didn't he think of it just now!
The leaked ball turned around and passed Pecarik, Gareth Bale faced Hewedes simply and rudely moved the ball forward, overtaking from the outside!
It's too simple and rude, but it's really effective... Hewedes tried to foul, but there was no chance of fouling. Bell deliberately ran an arc to bypass Hewedes' outstretched hand!
The blood-swelling speed caused long-lost shouts from the stands of White Hart Lane.
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
"Bell... cross!"
Crouch, who followed at high speed, stretched out his long legs and kicked the ball into the gate!
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"
"Tottenham pulled back a victory,
It's still early in the game! ’ Mortensen’s proclamation ends abruptly, “This is…”
The referee did not blow the whistle, nor did he point to the center circle, but shook his head and pointed at Schalke 04's goal.
"Gall kick?" Zhan Jun quickly made an accurate judgment, "Crouch's shot is not a problem, it should be that the ball has already passed the line before Bell's cross."
"Look at the replay..." Zhang Lu looked at the screen intently, "Sure enough, he has qualified... However, the referee is really courageous!"
Seeing Bell, Crouch, and van der Vaart swarming towards the referee, Sun Wu immediately led his teammates to make a clearance.
This move...
Adam Simpson couldn't help laughing wildly, "Hahahaha, it's exactly the same as the Ruhr Derby, I hope the referee won't be so unlucky!"
"Luka, trust the referee!" Rakitic hugged Modric and kept persuading: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"
"Beautiful instep!" Sun Wu leaned over and gave a thumbs up, "Luka, can you teach me?"
Modric is speechless, we are in the game, and it is the quarter-finals of the Champions League, you and I are discussing this kind of topic?
Are you kidding me! ?
Modric glanced at Rakitic, and said clearly in his eyes, this is the Chinese genius you told me many times... Oh, he is really easy to learn!
Rakitic grinned and pushed Sun Wu away, "Best, don't make trouble!"
Generally speaking, most of Tottenham’s frontcourt players have a good temper. Lennon and Bale are not hot-tempered. Modric is more modest and gentle. Although Van der Vaart often has conflicts with his teammates, he is not hot-tempered... But Crowe Odd is the exception.
This well-known football player is not guilty of many crimes, but his temper is really bad.
After the re-kick-off, Neuer made a short pass to Hewedes with a goal kick. After passing it several times in a row, Fuchs took the ball and prepared to go forward, and Crouch rushed over with a flying shovel!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." A shrill scream sounded, and Fuchs rolled over in pain while clutching his ankle.
The nearby Schalke 04 players rushed over immediately, everyone is an expert, everyone knows whether your flying shovel is intentional!
"Flying shovels with both feet and raising them high!"
"And it's still at the rear!"
Neuer found Crouch angrily. There was not much difference in stature between the two, and they were fighting head to head.
The referee who ran over asked the line referee who was not too far from the incident, and immediately took out a red card to expel Crouch.
"Stupid foul!" Mortensen said helplessly: "The goal was disallowed, Crouch paid the price for his impulse, but the worst thing is, the team will pay the price for this red card!"
There were boos in the stands, partly for Crouch and partly for the referee.
The team doctor Langes has already rushed into the field with a medical kit. Sun Wu glanced at Fuchs worriedly, and then turned to look at Lannick.
You must know that in this game, the team's two full-back substitutes Hao Junmin and Uchida Atsuto did not enter the squad.
Could it be that Hewedes is allowed to go to the wing, and the central defender lets Matip play?
Who knows if this "unreliable" will ruin the efforts of the first half, and another fall with the sole of the foot... Then Schalke 04 will become a laughing stock!
After a simple check, Langes immediately made a substitution gesture to the sidelines.
Rangnick looked back at Matip and other substitute players who were warming up, and finally chose Hitzlsperger to play as a left back. This German can play in this position... Rangnick is not worried about Matip. !
There was not much time left in the first half. Sun Wu and Rakitic used up the minutes with passes, but the old Redknapp on the sidelines was very nervous and loudly directed the team to retreat across the board.
Well, the old Redknapp has studied Schalke 04. This German team often succeeds in sudden attacks at the beginning and end of the second half.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, Sun Wu walked slowly towards the player tunnel, staring at the old Redknapp who was comforting the players at the same time, wondering whether the old guy would be a turtle in the second half or fight hard .
