Chapter 509: Schalke IV's Gate of Fate

In the away game, they led 2-0 at halftime, and the opponent was sent off. The Schalke 04 locker room was full of excitement, even though Fuchs had been sent to the hospital.

"Is it a big problem?"

"Not sure." Lannick shook his head. "At least there is no fracture. It seems to be a sprain at present, but is there any other problem that needs to be checked by the hospital."

Sun Wu sighed. This season is really difficult. Cavani was seriously injured before the start of the season. Afterwards, Rakitic, Raul, Westerman, and Höwedes were all injured one after another. Kex came back in the last game, and now he is injured again!

In the Schalke 04 lineup, Fuchs is the only one who plays left back. Atsuto Uchida, Höwedes and Hitzlsperger are all just guest appearances.

Sun Wu shook his head and stopped thinking about it. What he had to consider now was the second half of the game. He turned his head and glanced at Hitzlsperger, "The position of the midfielder in the second half?"

Rangnick also had a bit of a headache. According to the plan, in the first half, Jones traded for Modric, and then chose the time to let Hitzlsperger replace Jones, but now Fuchs' injury interrupted the plan.

The position of the defensive midfielder is the weakest link in Schalke 04 lineup. There is no way, a good defensive midfielder is very expensive. Sun Wu proposed several candidates in the two transfer windows, but unfortunately the club has no money to buy... Westerman's good work is mainly due to his high sense of responsibility, but he also has many weaknesses, not to mention the other Matip, Jones, and Hitzlsperger.

Two months ago, through a scout, Sun Wu discovered Kanter, the main midfielder of the "Fox City Miracle". Unfortunately, this guy is only less interesting than Sun Wu, but he is still hanging out in the youth team... and he is still from the French second club youth team.

Now the question is, if Jones gets a yellow card in the second half... that's almost a certainty!

So who is going to play the midfielder?

Hitzlsperger moved the midfielder and let Hewedes play the left back, so the central defender can only use "unreliable"...

If "unreliable" is used to hit the midfielder, it is obviously difficult to reassure Lannick...

Lannick was speechless for a long time, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Looking at the development of the situation on the field, I made a temporary decision. I have an idea..."

During the intermission, Lannick didn't have much to explain, time passed quickly, and it was time to play.

"Jermaine, be tough on the Croatian midfielder, allow him to pass the ball, but not allow him to break through!" Sun Wu told Jones, who took on the most important task in the second half, "Whenever you get a yellow card, you can leave the field. How long you can play is up to you."

"Pekarik, Rakitic." Just as he was about to go out, Sun Wu suddenly stopped his teammates, "Be careful, both of you, if you can leave with a 3-goal advantage, you can consider shuffling the cards."

Rakitic nodded with a smile. He and Pekarik both received two yellow cards, and if they get another one, they will be suspended.

"Papa!" Sun Wu clapped his hands and said loudly: "Guys, 10 against 11, there will always be unexpected situations... Don't forget the Ruhr Derby. Dortmund, who lacked one player, almost drew us!"

Walking out of the player tunnel, he happened to meet a Tottenham player. Sun Wu squinted his eyes and looked carefully. Lennon was off, and it was Defoe who played. Spurs don't have many chances to play.

"Schalke 04 didn't make any substitutions, but Tottenham replaced Lennon with Jermain Defoe. This is a choice out of desperation." Zhan Jun said with a smile: "Judging from the current situation, Schalke 04 has great hope of advancing. .”

"It still depends on the second half." Zhang Lu heheed twice, "The key is to see if Schalke 04 can withstand Tottenham's attack in the second half. The key point is whether Van der Vaart and Modric can be revived."

After the start of the second half, Tottenham, who had been forced into a desperate situation, pressed forward aggressively. The two wingers immediately pressed Schalke 04 back. Modric and van der Vaart in the center were able to send exquisite direct passes obliquely, and there were also shots from the outside. The ability, Bell's position is slightly changed and retracted,

Continuously tested Neuer with long shots.

"Rakitic returned to the midfielder position...Instead, Jones moved a little forward to mark Modric." Mortensen is very interested in Schalke 04's defensive deployment, "I have to say that Rangnick is very interested in the heat. Thorn knows very, very well."

Being knocked away in embarrassment again, Modric was a little helpless, half kneeling on the lawn and complaining loudly to the referee... although the whistle had already sounded.

As an excellent organizational midfielder, Modric certainly has a way to get rid of Jones, but the problem is that the Croatian midfielder can't stay in the backcourt and organize calmly. Heavy duty, which makes it easy for Jones to capture the trajectory of his movements.

In the 56th minute, Modric and Sandro made consecutive kicks and finally bypassed Jones. Facing the defense of his friend Rakitic, Modric cheated a gap with continuous fake moves, but he did not wait for him to pass the ball , Jones, who was chasing up from behind, stepped on his heel...

"Beep!"

This time Sandro couldn't help but rushed forward, and shouted at the referee angrily: "Are there no yellow cards like this!?"

There were boos from the stands.

"Sir, he didn't move his hand, he just stepped on it accidentally!" Sun Wu explained: "It's not a malicious foul, I promise!"

The corners of Jones' eyes twitched when he heard that...

The referee finally gave Jones a verbal warning, but he was merciful and did not play a card.

But the good times don't last long. Jones, a midfielder who made his debut halfway, is really not an opponent of Modric, who is gradually entering the golden period of his career.

In the 61st minute, Modric shook Jones with an outside instep pass after two consecutive outside instep passes. dridge.

"Dick!" This time the referee showed a yellow card without hesitation.

Sun Wu covered his head and had a headache. He said that he was allowed to pass the ball and not allowed to break through... But Jones was still shaken by Modric's realistic fake moves. This is a matter of level.

"Jones has been in Schalke 04 for many years, but he has been playing forward until 2009." Zhan Jun explained: "The advantages and disadvantages are very obvious. He has good physical strength, can run, has a wide coverage, and is aggressive. , but the sense of position is too poor, and I really like the opponent's fake moves..."

"He came back during the winter break, but he hasn't had many chances to play in the past few months, and he has received two red cards and three yellow cards." Zhang Lu shook his head, "Schalke 04 must be replaced!"

This is a free kick nearly 30 meters away from the goal. Modric rubs the ball into the penalty area. Dawson beats Cavani and then nods the ball. bottom line.

There were sighs from the stands behind the goal, and many Tottenham fans hugged their heads and lamented.

Sun Wu didn't care, but turned his head to look at the sidelines.

Pushed to the halfway line by Rangnick was No. 25, Roberto Firmino.
