Chapter 160 Some People Lie Down and Earn Money, While Others Work!

Seeing Shen Feng break into Hamburg's goal.

Head coach Martin Joel gasped.

His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had troubles that couldn't go away.

This fellow Shen Feng!

Joel took up the coach at the age of 40 and moved to the Eredivisie, Premier League and Bundesliga in 14 years.

It can't be said that he is a famous coach, but he definitely has experience and vision in the world.

In his eyes, Shen Feng's scoring goals already proved his ability to seize opportunities.

And a player must have strong characteristics to become a star.

As a winger, Shen Feng's breakthrough ability is not the strongest in the Bundesliga.

Even the top three are absolutely impossible to get in. Ribery is at the top, followed by Farfan, and 272 and Marin in the new generation are more technical in terms of breakthrough ability.

But Shen Feng's team spirit can be called the top of the Bundesliga.

He is currently the only player in the Bundesliga with double-digit goals and assists.

Team spirit is not something that can be manifested simply by passion.

The overall situation, the awareness of cooperation, the ability to pass and run, etc.

Throughout the Bundesliga, there is no second person who can perform as well as Shen Feng in the tug-of-war.

The pass is decisive and accurate, and the thinking is clear when capturing the space.

Take one step, see three steps, all in one go.

This kind of non-stop impact in a straight line can maximize the speed.

Even if he is not the fastest runner in the Bundesliga.

However, compared to too many players, they may take one more dribble, or observe after stopping the ball to delay the timing of the ball, giving the opponent time to adjust the defense.

Shen Feng's handling of the ball is definitely at the actual combat textbook level.

Martin Jol suddenly remembered Shen Feng's career trajectory from La Masia to the Netherlands.

It was definitely the stage where he laid a foothold and established his current style on the court.

For such a player, Hamburg actually missed it last summer because of Raiola's "blackmail"?

Perhaps Raiola has an element of asking for money.

But Shen Feng was indeed worth the money.

Martin Jol gesticulated to his disciples on the sidelines with a sullen face.

Don't panic, don't panic!

The defense line shrinks, give up the outside line!

Hamburg must attack strongly, which will definitely give Hoffenheim enough space to attack.

If you want not to be penetrated, you must guard the key defensive area.

A threat like Shen Feng's is definitely not something that can be frozen simply by asking the team to launch a zone defense.

Unless Hamburg sticks to it and strives for a goal of only one point.

But Hamburg wants to win.

Since he has the intention to kill, he must take risks.

After celebrating the goal, Shen Feng walked back to his own half with his teammates.

The Hoffenheim fans cheered.

Immediately, the haze in my heart dissipated.

Shen Feng is back!

Goal!

Hoffenheim's generals also instantly became more confident.

Hamburg kicked off, and the fierce offense and defense of the two teams continued.

Shen Feng's running speed on the court is obviously ahead of other players today.

It also has to do with his positional role.

Neither midfielders nor defenders can run around.

Forwards have higher degrees of freedom, and wingers have higher degrees of freedom than center forwards!

When Hoffenheim made another fast break to the frontcourt and Shen Feng dribbled forward, Hamburg's defense retreated and he continued to advance.

Sensing that the back line was shrinking, Shen Feng returned the ball in front of the penalty area to find Salihovic.

He ran forward into the penalty area, Tavares failed to press him, turned around and intercepted Salihovic head-on, and the latter shifted his offensive to the front right.

Eduardo cut inside and wanted to reproduce the previous assist, and sent a through ball.

As a result, Hamburg shrank the defense line, the space became smaller, and Eduardo's through ball was broken.

Two consecutive fast breaks by Hoffenheim failed to turn into a shooting threat.

Martin - Jol's adjustment seems to be immediate.

In the 34th minute of the game, Hamburg made a fast break in the frontcourt. Trohovski sent a through pass in front of the penalty area. Forward Olić quickly got rid of the defense and then stopped and shot the ball into the lower left corner of the penalty area. !

The Hamburg fans were relieved.

equalizer.

There is still hope for the championship!

Hoffenheim's defensive line is unstable, and the world knows it.

In fact, looking at the ball conceded data of all teams in the Bundesliga this season, there is one data that can explain the quality of defense.

All teams conceded more than 1 goal per game.

That means no team is particularly good defensively.

Including Bayern Munich.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the issue of defense.

Conceding goals is commonplace for every team.

Even if you have zero opponents today, you may concede two goals in the next game.

If you dare to keep zero opponents in two consecutive games, just wait, you will be blown up by an opponent soon!

Hamburg will not be satisfied with an equalizer.

The game continues.

Shen Feng tried to use himself to contain his opponent and create opportunities for his teammates.

But Hamburg's defense is not based on man-marking.

It is completely based on area defense. As long as Hoffenheim's dangerous attack enters the offensive dangerous area, the defense line will retreat and guard the key area, so that Hoffenheim cannot penetrate the space behind them in the penalty area.

After trying two waves of offensive, Hoffenheim also threatened to shoot, but lacked some luck from the goal.

Hamburg's offense is getting better and better, and after Olić scored, it also brought some panic to Hoffenheim's already lacking defense.

Dangers continue.

Hildebrand performed well today, repeatedly blocking the opponent's shots.

As the game approached the end of the first half, Hoffenheim's fast break broke into the frontcourt again.

Shen Feng dribbled forward and rushed all the way. Seeing that he was about to enter the penalty area, the midfielder Tavares came from the side, and the back line entered the penalty area to form a tight defense.

Shen Feng suddenly smashed the ball and changed direction to the outside line. Fullback Benjamin subconsciously rushed up. Shen Feng continued to smash the ball to the outside line to complete the dodge, and then changed direction and dribbled towards the baseline.

All the defensemen in Hamburg thought that Shen Feng would complete the cross after taking advantage of the depth of the attack.

Therefore, quickly withdraw to the front area of ​​the small penalty area, at least not to give Demba Ba the space to outflank and grab points.

When only 5 yards away from the baseline, Shen Feng suddenly passed the ball back in an inverted triangle.

As soon as Salihovic entered the penalty area to meet, he saw Tavares blocking the way, and he directly hit the ball across the right side.

Tavares turned his head and looked, Weiss rushed to kill, took advantage of the situation to stop the ball and adjusted, then kicked and shot!

The football goes straight to the bottom left of the goal.

Played a little right!

Goalkeeper Rost fell to the ground to save the ball and blocked the ball, and the save was missed!

Demba Ba was about to make a follow-up shot, but Grafgard, who had returned to the small penalty area, had no time to dodge the football and blocked it into the goal!

Own goals!

Martin Joel was troubled.

Unlucky?

Everything happens for a reason.

Since Hamburg has adopted an extremely shrinking defensive strategy, it naturally increases the probability of chaos in front of the goal.

Although Weiss did not score the goal, it did not prevent him from celebrating.

Teammates rushed over one after another, and everyone laughed and patted Weiss's head.

Halftime is over.

Shen Feng and Salihovic were exchanging views along the way.

Nominally, Salihovic is the core of Hoffenheim's offensive playmaker.

But it was Shen Feng who was able to bring the rhythm and switch styles of play.

The two work together, and it's hard to say who will steal the limelight. Hoffenheim fans are also very excited to see it.

After the intermission, the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half.

With Hamburg falling behind, it forcibly started to speed up and pull up the rhythm, and the scene was always intense.

Hoffenheim took the lead and played more pragmatically in the second half.

In the first half, Shen Feng charged more aggressively. In the second half, he and Salihovic shifted their offensive to the right after hitting the frontcourt one after another.

Eduardo did not have a chance of a dragon in a single-handed raid, but he continued to make threats when he made a cross from the wing or sent a through pass to find Demba Ba.

Hamburg's defense is under increasing pressure.

Especially after they force the rhythm, it is difficult for the midfielder to return to the defense immediately after being counterattacked.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Eduardo received Salihovic's oblique long pass from the frontcourt.

Demba Ba followed up all the way and pressed the back line to move towards the goal.

Eduardo came to the edge of the penalty area and cut the ball inside. When he encountered the full-back Ogo, he decisively passed the ball across the middle.

Demba Ba stopped and turned to look back.

However, Shen Feng cut in and made a strong attack!

Tavares was freed by Shen Feng who took the lead with the ball.

As he made a kick to shoot, he saw central defender Mattison coming up to block, so he smashed the ball across when he landed.

Mattison's outstretched leg failed to touch the ball, and when Shen Feng had passed half his body in front of him and was about to cross him, Mattison did not withdraw his leg, but continued to interfere. He tripped over Shen Feng's left leg.

When Shen Feng fell in the penalty area, Mattison's mentality exploded and angrily reprimanded Shen Feng for diving.

The referee blows his whistle and points to a penalty.

Shen Feng stood up without changing his expression, turning a deaf ear to Mattison's roar.

Demba Ba and Eduardo rushed to fend off Mattison.

Shen Feng turned around and briefly high-fived Salihovic who was trotting over.

The first penalty shooter in the team is Salihovic, and it hasn't changed since Shen Feng came.

Shen Feng was not uncommon about this.

Salihovic made a strong shot and sent the ball into the upper left corner of the goal!

Hoffenheim 3:1 Hamburg!

Rangnick shook his fists.

The expression is not easy.

If the draw of the past two games can make him feel less pressure, then he is too heartless.

At this time, it is natural to further strengthen the defense.

Demba Ba and Eduardo were removed, and midfielder Tebel and striker Obasi were replaced.

Hoffenheim stepped up their defense.

Martin Joel's mood fell into the abyss.

This game has become hopeless.

Hoffenheim took the initiative to control the rhythm.

Shen Feng and Salihovic found the right opportunity and created singles opportunities for Obasi.

Obasi and Shen Feng are both top-paid players in the team, but his performance in the past two seasons in Hoffenheim has been unsatisfactory, and he has even lost his regular main force.

Last season, he reached the top 12 in 27 games in the Bundesliga Bundesliga, but failed to reach the pass line, and the average goal rate per game was too low.

In 20 appearances this season, he scored 5 goals.

It's no wonder that even Hoffenheim fans joked with self-deprecating tone: The annual salary is also 1.5 million euros, Obasi is here to lie down and earn money, and Shen Feng is working hard!

If it wasn't for the fact that Shen Feng was really worried about Hoffenheim's defense, and he was a thorn in the side of Hamburg's defense, his room to play was not as good as Obasi's, otherwise he would definitely dominate the offensive end.

Shen Feng took the initiative to retreat to strengthen the defense, and it was basically difficult for Hamburg to create even a threatening attack.

Martin Joel's face became more and more gloomy.

This Shen Feng is both coveted and hated!
