Chapter 180 Nepotism?
Seeing the team's lightning equalizer, Magath took a sip of the mineral water in the backpack on the coach's bench, obviously feeling a lot more relaxed. But the expression on his face was still tense. Assistant coach Hollerbach shouted to the players on the field instead of him: "Closer to Zhou! Jefferson, Gerald, you two!"
Hollerbach directly named Farfan and Asamoah. It can be seen that Magath is not satisfied with the overall performance of the team on the offensive end. The team's offensive advantage depends entirely on Zhou Tiancheng's personal strength. If it is at the end of the game, it is good to rely on the personal flashes of the stars to decide the game, but now it has only been more than 20 minutes, and it is very dangerous to continue to be suppressed by the opponent in the overall situation.
Magath immediately called four offensive players to warm up. Jiang Hao and Hao Junmin were among them. The live broadcaster in charge of the game signal caught this unusual scene on the coach's bench for the first time.
Marcel Leif opened his mouth slightly: "Is this going to be a substitution? The four players who went to warm up are Jiang, Hao, Baumjohn and Edu, all of them are offensive players... Is Magath a little too aggressive?" Already? In such a game, we should pay more attention to the balance of offense and defense!"
"Both Jiang Hao and Hao Junmin have gone to warm up. This is a wise choice. Inter Milan's momentum is currently at a low ebb, so we should seize this opportunity. There is nothing to be conservative about in away games. One more away goal will give you an advantage. The first 20 minutes of the game were enough for Schalke to realize that this line of defense cannot withstand Inter Milan's attack."
This is Duan Xuan's point of view. Of course, he definitely hoped that both Hao Junmin and Jiang Hao could play. But judging from the current situation, the morale of Inter Milan has just been poured with cold water. Active offense is obviously preferable to conservative pursuit of offensive and defensive balance. Marcel Leff must not understand the truth that "it is better to chase the poor with the remaining courage, and kill him while he is sick".
Five minutes later, Magath made an early substitution and Jiang Hao came on the field to replace Kluger, who was almost useless on the defensive end and gave a big gift. The Schalke 04 formation then became a 4-4-2 diamond formation, which was Magath's second backup formation.
Kluger also understood that his performance had brought disaster to the team. When he left the field, he just lowered his head and gave Jiang Hao a light high-five, and then walked back to the bench.
After the formation change, Zhou Tiancheng's position must be withdrawn to take into account certain defensive tasks, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Instead, they won more space for themselves. Cambiasso and Motta still did not dare to rush to the front of Schalke's penalty area for a high-position press, pressing in the middle circle and waiting for Schalke's attack to extend.
But now with the striker configuration, Zhou Tiancheng didn't need to do this at all.
Van Nistelrooy always stood at the front of the opponent's penalty area, using his own experience to completely rely on Lucio to squeeze into a favorable position. Zhou Tiancheng's precise long pass directly hit his head, and Van Nistelrooy immediately sent the header to Jiang Hao, Jiang Haowen Put the ball firmly under your feet.
Lucio's partner Samuel took advantage of his fast turning speed and clung to Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao was a little surprised to find someone who could be as fast as himself, thinking that it really was the Champions League , it is really not that simple.
He just wanted to put his head down and add another step to the speed, but suddenly he had a second thought: Everyone knows that I am fast, if I choose to pass to my teammate at this time, what expression will the other party have?
Jiang Hao decided to look up in a split second, and as a result, he immediately saw Van Nistelrooy running directly into the penalty area, which was exactly at a 30-degree angle from where he was.
Jiang Hao saw the opportunity, and directly pushed the ball diagonally, and the ball was accurately delivered to the penalty area of the penalty area. At this moment, Van Nistelrooy showed the effect of the advantage of the body, took two strides, and grabbed the ball. In front of Lucio and Cesar, the toe first poked the ball, and the next thing was simple for the legendary striker. Although not in the small penalty area where he was most comfortable, he scored a pair of straight shots The goalkeeper's single-handedness is the basic skill for a former superstar striker. Ruud calmly hit Cesar on the crotch,
Put the ball in the goal.
"GOOOOOAL!!! Ruud van Nistelrooy! The third personal goal of joining Schalke may be the most valuable goal. I don't think anyone will question Magath's original decision now. Van Nistelrooy is still the same. To be able to score goals against European giants, that alone is enough!"
Kuranyi was at home in Gelsenkirchen. Seeing this scene and hearing this commentary, he took a deep breath, took out his mobile phone and dialed his agent's number: "Shute, are you there...it's nothing, Just to let you know that I have considered that matter... well, I have made up my mind, and my time is over."
The first half ended with Schalke leading 2:1. At halftime, even though the Inter Milan players were all in a bad mood and lowered their heads, Mourinho still didn't show a good face, and his tone was very serious: "I am now I regret that I said that in front of the media. I have already shouted the goal of fighting for the Champions League, because I think we can do it. But now I find that you and I are becoming a big joke. It is ironic that we are behind at home. ! Do you want to be a joke?"
...
The spur of the dressing room at halftime seemed to arouse the fighting spirit of the Inter Milan players. In the second half, Mourinho replaced the 19-year-old striker Balotelli and attacked Schalke with high pressure at the beginning.
Balotelli sits in the middle of the road. He and Milito form a combination of strikers with completely different styles. He completely relies on impact to tear the defense. This is his trump card in the Italian National Youth League. Now it is also suitable for Inter Milan. The offense is energized.
Balotelli hit Hewedes' defensive area consecutively and found his chance in the 62nd minute. Balotelli rushed into the penalty area against Hewedes with his speed. Although Neuer tried his best to block the first single kick, Milito followed up with a supplementary shot and scored.
The score returned to 2:2, and now Magath faced another multiple-choice question.
"Felix, why don't we take it away? Two away goals, this result is not bad at all."
Magath shook his head: "No, old buddy, we have no choice. From the time we replaced Bill, we can only continue to attack. At this time, if we want to go back, we can only waste all the previous efforts... Go call Artemisia, let Artemisia go!"
Hollerbach was taken aback for a moment, but seeing Magath nodding at him, he no longer doubted that he had heard wrong, and walked towards Hao Junmin.
When Hao Junmin stood on the sidelines, many German journalists in the media seats were unanimously surprised.
"Huh? On the 7th, the Chinese Artemisia is actually going to be on it?"
"Is Magath joking? There is no need to adjust the wing now, and at this moment, if you change a rookie with only one European game experience, you are not afraid of him being nervous at all?"
"I think it's more meaningful to take Baumjohann to strengthen the midfield than to take such a risk."
"Heh, even the former German national youth players are not given a chance. Magath really prefers Chinese players...Hey, who of you knows if he has Chinese nationality?"
Almost everyone is not optimistic that Hao Junmin can perform well in the Champions League for the first time, but Magath is suspected of nepotism because of this substitution.
PS: Sorry, the second update arrived so late.
I watched the Asian Games women's football live broadcast earlier. The Chinese women's football team has overthrown North Korea for many years. The goddesses are awesome, and they don't talk much.
Also, Shuangmei from Paris is really strong, after all, she is in the same frame as Neymar!
