Chapter 140: Tacit Understanding Lasts Forever
Jiang Hao, who came on stage, felt very lucky at this moment. Although the process of waiting for this moment is very painful, he did not dare to think that he would be able to play in the game against Bayern.
Think about it, how many rookies like myself who have no experience in the first team can get the opportunity to show themselves in such a big scene? Definitely a minority.
Jiang Hao suddenly understood that he was valuable in the eyes of the head coach, and he must do his best to repay this trust.
He even shook his fist lightly towards the Bayern stands as he walked onto the field. The stands that had no reaction to his appearance immediately booed.
"Boy Schalke, wash your ass and wait for a beating!"
"Huh, number 40? Who is this? I have no memory at all. How dare a boy with no name or name dare to provoke here?"
"I read from the media that this No. 40 seems to have scored more goals in the German Cup... I don't remember the name, but it seems to be from China, just like the opposite Zhou Tiancheng."
"Haha! German Cup? Garbage Cup? Boy, this capital is not enough for you to be arrogant here, go back to the bench."
"For a country like China, which is backward in football, it is already a miracle to have Zhou Tiancheng, but it is absolutely impossible to have a second star. Otherwise, he should have been a frequent visitor to the World Cup long ago."
"Has China never been in the World Cup?"
"Aren't you a fan for twenty years? Depp."
"I'm just a German fan, who cares about football in these countries."
Jiang Hao didn't hear how the home fans responded to him, and walked into the field with sonorous and forceful steps. His teammates also ran over to give him high-fives, encouraging the young man to make his league debut.
"Brother Cheng, pass the ball to me more!"
Zhou Tiancheng patted him on the shoulder: "Do you need to worry about it? Run your position carefully, as long as you can run, I can pass it to you."
Only four minutes into the second half, Schalke rewritten the score. Zhou Tiancheng controlled the Bayern defender's clearance header from the front of the penalty area. At this time, Jiang Hao quickly followed up from the penalty spot on the right side of the penalty area. The speed was not at the same level as Kuranyi just now. Even the Bayern captain Lahm, who was inward for protection, was not at the same level. Before he could react, Jiang Hao showed his speed like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye or two, he was already in the position where he could stretch his legs to make a follow-up shot.
The Bayern fans who were still laughing at him just covered their mouths with their eyes widened, and there was only one thought in their mind: so fast!
But it's a pity that Bout's second reaction was also quick. He forced his body to move laterally by one centimeter, completely blocking a gap that Jiang Hao was targeting, and blocked Jiang Hao's shovel shot with his stomach.
"Oh——Hans Bout, he has done a great job! Schalke 04's second shot is so fast." Munich TV 1 commentator Taf Baumann breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was alive after a catastrophe.
"Ha! Jiang Hao—ah!! He was actually blocked by Bout, and he was only a little short of his first goal in the league. If he didn't fall to the ground and stretched his leg to shoot, he would be a great hero for the team. What a pity!" Duan Xuan sighed unceasingly. In his opinion, this was originally a supplementary shot that could further improve Jiang Hao's personal value.
But this kick shocked Bayern enough, Van Gaal immediately called Demichelis to the sidelines and explained: "Martin,
Take it back, the new striker is fast, don't let him grab the space behind you. "
Immediately afterwards, he called Captain Lahm over and told him to pay attention to protecting the two central defenders when defending. Neither Van Buyten nor Demichelis is the type to defend by chasing speed.
After the dangerous situation at the beginning, Van Gaal became more determined to score again. He must not be conservative at home. Only 2:0, 3:0 can firmly put these three points in his pocket.
In the fifty-seventh minute, Van Gaal once again increased the offensive end, and the 20-year-old young player Thomas Muller came off the bench.
Twenty-year-old Thomas Muller is an excellent striker trained by Bayern's youth training camp in recent years. Last season, he represented Bayern's reserve team in the Bundesliga. Scored 15 goals and has already demonstrated super strong front-of-goal attributes. The legendary World Cup striker, Thomas Muller's predecessor with the same surname, Gerd Muller, publicly expressed his optimism for him in an exclusive interview with German TV station 2 at the end of last season.
Thomas Muller has a height of 1.86 meters, but his playing style is completely different from the traditional standing center. His style is between the No. 10 midfielder and the No. 9 forward. He belongs to the "Number and a half" player, without the ball Running and grabbing points in front of goal are his specialties. Van Gaal also needs his ability to seize opportunities to expand the score as soon as possible. Put him behind Klose and use Klose's containment to gain space.
However, Müller was not yet familiar with the rhythm of the game. Zhou Tiancheng interrupted Van Bommel in the process of returning to defense, and advanced with the ball himself. Schalke 04's counterattack came first.
Schalke 04's counterattack is very familiar. Asamoah and Farfan each descended from a side at high speed to open up space, while Jiang Hao followed the striker's running method from the middle to form a three-line fast attack situation.
However, both Demichelis and Van Buyten knew that the arrow figure should not lose control, so they blocked Jiang Hao and chased after him.
Jiang Hao saw that the opponent had taken precautions in a straight line, so he had to divert around Demichelis's side and insert a half-circle behind him. He was a little worried, wondering if his teammates behind him could understand his intentions.
But he also has no choice. If he wants to get rid of the entanglement of the two tall guards, he can only use this trick.
Jiang Hao accelerated around to the outside, got rid of the most difficult Van Buyten, and started from behind Demichelis. When he just caught up with Demichelis, he suddenly found that there was an empty space on the line he was going to cut in. A ball!
Jiang Hao was overjoyed, and immediately put his head down and accelerated again. He and Demichelis are now capable of running shorter distances than ten meters-obviously Jiang Hao is better in this respect. In the process, he also left Ram behind. The double captains of Bayern and Germany wanted to give it a shot, but seeing that there were no defensive players in front of them, they finally didn't dare.
Jiang Hao cut into the penalty area, took the ball out of the shot angle, and even calmly stopped for half a second to observe Bout's position and Van Buyten's supplementary defense, and then shot into the far corner with one kick.
1:1, this goal poured cold water on the frenzied atmosphere at the Allianz Arena. Bayern fans felt a chill from head to toe as they watched the Schalke player, who had only come on in the second half, equalize the score in this way .
After scoring the goal, Jiang Hao immediately looked back to see who passed the ball to him. Seeing Zhou Tiancheng running towards him with his thumb outstretched, he smiled as expected.
Yes, there is no one else who can think of a point with himself and pass the ball so comfortably, except Brother Cheng.
"Haoko, well done!"
"Brother Cheng, the transmission is so comfortable, you still understand me."
"That's right, you knew what you were going to do as soon as you turned to me. Brothers didn't do it in vain for so many years."
"Hey...Brother Cheng, I just said this to you, go back and find a place to have a drink?"
"Why? You know I don't like drinking." Zhou Tiancheng resisted.
"Brother Cheng, it doesn't matter at ordinary times, you must drink this wine, for the sake of our tacit understanding forever, you have to have a toast no matter what!"
