Football: Refuse to give red envelopes, reward full-level pre-judgment!

This season’s Schalke 04 is a decline from last season. The most serious effects are mainly two.

The first is the team’s offensive core, goal guarantee, front thighs, Lord of the Rings Raul is another year older, and in the preseason, Raul showed an inevitable decline in physical function.

This is an inevitable trend with age. Another major impact.

It is the team’s most critical defensive thigh, goalkeeper Neuer was poached by Bayern Munich.

It is said that a good goalkeeper tops the top half of the team. For Schalke 04.

One Raul in the frontcourt. One Neuer in the backfield.

It is the fundamental reason why they have been able to achieve remarkable results in the past two or three years

With the stable play of the two.

Last season’s Schalke 04 reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. Knock them out.

It is the opponent of this game, Manchester United.

So this game is for Schalke 04. The same battle for revenge!

At the time of pre-match mobilization.

Schalke 04’s head coach Stevens used this to motivate the team

They want to avenge last season’s elimination of Manchester United in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Stevens was one to take over Schalke 04 at the beginning of this start and his predecessor Rangnick resigned due to depression.

Schalke 04, who reached the last four of the Champions League, is now mostly in the main players except goalkeeper Neuer.

So their quality should not be underestimated – unfortunately, Share reached the last four of the Champions League last season, but because of the influence of European competition, they finished fourth in the Bundesliga and had to play in the Europa League.

Now in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

Ran into the faces that eliminated them last season. It can be regarded as an enemy meeting.

But revenge is revenge.

Stevens still knows that Manchester United must be very cautious against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Don’t be aggressive.

First on defense, then on attack.

Even.

If it doesn’t work.

Keeping a zero to zero is not impossible. Therefore.

Stevens’ strategy for Schalke 04 is to defend, reclaim half-time defense, compress space and let United attack.

He had studied Li Ao carefully.

He found Li Ao to be good defensively, but on offense he relied more on passing and a keen sense of smell to find space.

His individual combat ability is not strong, and his foot skills are not enough to get rid of the defense when facing the bag.

Against such a midfield core.

The key is to block the space. Let him not find the space to move forward. Are you going to pass the ball at the back?

Then you pass it.

If you have the ability, you can pass hundreds of times in a row without mistakes!

Otherwise, if you make a mistake, Shayouk D4 can launch a counterattack!

And no matter how many passes you make in the backfield, it’s useless, you have to pass forward to score a goal, and the space in front is all blocked, how do you pass?

You can only fall on the periphery! And for Schalke 04.

This game is good for them to fight on a rainy day. Because Schalke 04 played mainly defensively on the road.

Manchester United, who dominate the attack, are bound to make more passing errors in the rain. This is the opportunity that Schalke 04 can seize.

Stevens watched from the sidelines for a few minutes before returning to his seat in the dugout. He felt for a moment and a half.

It is difficult for United to pose a real threat to Schalke 04’s goal.

The main tone of this game is basically the same as these few minutes, United is looking for space on the periphery, while Schalke 04 is shrinking the half and compressing the space to the extreme.

If nothing else.

That’s the main scene of this game. Of course.

Stevens was expecting the unexpected.

For example, under heavy rain, Manchester United made a passing error. Catch mistakes and fight back!

That’s Stevens’ strategy for this game. Even if you can’t win.

That’s not easy to lose.

Facing Schalke 04 shrinks the defense of the half.

Li Ao, who was in charge of leading the team’s attack, did not rush forward to pass the ball.

To be honest, Bayer Leverkusen’s squad was still very good in this game. The centre-back has Matip partnering Papastasopoulos.

Matip went on to Liverpool, where he was instrumental in Liverpool’s subsequent revival and winning their first Premier League title.

Papastasopoulos also went to the Premier League, played for many teams, and was a temporary celebrity.

The left-back is Atsuto Uchida, an international of the Wokoku. What is left-back? International fringe international Ho Gran. They are all international-level figures.

In midfield, the two full-backs are Fox Le Hulardo.

The characteristics of the two are very close, they are the kind of wingers who can go up and down, have good speed, have a certain defense, and can play as a full-back.

The two central defenders are Draxler at the front and Hogg at the back.

Draxler is? The country’s active international players can even be regarded as the main force

Hogg is? The rookies that have emerged in national football in recent times, he has actually always been? The main player of the national U series national team.

Schalke 04’s forward line is even more luxurious. Raul and Hentral respectively.

Raul needless to say.

The status of the Lord of the Rings is here.

Hentral is also Ho Lan’s international – although most of the time it is to make up, but you must know that the main center of Ho Lan’s national team is Van Persie.

Give Robin van Persie a substitute, he’s normal.

This cannot be said that Hentral’s strength is not good. And with the Horan national team being taken over by Van Gaal.

Van Gaal, who built the system, is most likely to choose the pairing of Hentral and van Persie.

At that time, I hope that Hentral will carefully inspect the sticks in the dressing room.

In a word.

Schalke 04 has a strong starting lineup.

It is impossible for Manchester United to swallow each other in one go. Li Ao also knows this.

Therefore, he did not rush to try to penetrate the pass that could directly penetrate the opponent’s defense.

Instead, patiently control the situation and seek opportunities for battle. Even if Schalke 04 shrinks the defense.

But they can’t really lock up all the space. After passing a few kicks.

Li Ao’s eyes lit up.

A long pass came directly to the ball.

The football runs through the whole pitch and finds Ashley Young accurately. Ashley Young stopped the ball on his chest.

“Li Ao’s long biography! Pretty!! ”

He Ping was very happy.

The Longguo fans in front of the TV were also excited to see this scene, which was the first long ball transfer of Li’s game.

Very precise!!

It’s just that.

After passing the ball, Li Ao shook his head with some dissatisfaction.

His original plan was to pass an advance so that Ashley Young could run up to catch the ball, rather than stopping to catch the ball like he is now.

Because that’s it. The speed is gone.

Schalke 04’s hard-to-come defensive holes were quickly filled.

Opportunity.

Fleeting!

So Li Ao ran up again, ready to answer.

Really.

Ashley Young stopped the ball and found there was no space. The opposing defense is fully prepared.

Ashley Young had to pass back to full-back Fabio.

Fabio was observing Li Flip’s position when he received the ball – this is the most basic requirement, no matter who it is, the first choice is Li Pian.

Li Ao ran towards Fabio.

At the time of Fabio’s pass.

Raul, who was in the front court, suddenly started and rushed towards Li Ao. He wanted a sneak attack.

However, Li flipped as if he had long eyes in the back of his head, and gave the ball to Chris Smalling on the back line.

However, the rain was silky, and Raul could not brake the car. Slip under your feet.

By the way, he shoveled Li Ao. The referee blew the whistle decisively.

Then showed a yellow card to the somewhat helpless Raul. Raul explained that he did so because of slipping under his feet.

But the referee doesn’t look at this, objectively, Raul is the tackle behind his back. According to FIFA’s latest rules – the tackle from behind, the lightest is yellow

If the spikes are bright. The red card didn’t have to run.

Therefore, this action to give the yellow card is already considered a mercy to the subordinates. Raul helplessly stretched out his hand and pulled Li Ao up.

“Lee, I sometimes really wonder if you’re really only seventeen years old”

Raul patted Li Ao on the back and made a small joke, and then ran away. Li Ao touched his nose.

“What’s wrong with being old at seventeen, and I haven’t eaten your rice…”

Li Ao thought helplessly shaking his head.

But in fact.

Raul is not saying that he is old. Instead, he was surprised by Li Tuan’s performance on the court. Very mature and sophisticated.

Every time I handle the ball, I look very calm.

There is no impatience at all like the average young player. Raul is already a thirty-five-year-old veteran.

He has met a lot of talented young players.

But these young players basically have a strong desire to express themselves when they first step into the professional league.

The striker wants to hold the ball and score over the entire opposing defense.

The midfielder wants a straight kick to penetrate the opponent’s defence and send a beautiful assist to be honest.

Like Li Ao.

In the case of getting the tactical resources of the whole team, he still showed such restraint, caution, and stability.

Seldom!

At least.

Raul had never seen it.

“No wonder Mourinho wants him…”

Raul thought.

Although now a player of Schalke 04.

But the Lord of the Rings at the Bernabeu, the team he cares about the most is Real Mad, this episode did not affect the general trend of the game.

Under the steady play of Li Tuan.

Manchester United gradually developed a repressive trend.

However, Schalke 04’s side is not without opportunities to fight back. The game came to the twenty-eighth minute.

Schalke 04 launched an attack after gaining possession. However, this attack did not succeed.

Draxler tried to make a rhythmic change over Li when he received the ball. The result was directly recognized by Li Zhuan.

The first kick to steal the ball!!

After completing the tackle, Li Tuan certainly understood that this was a good opportunity to fight back. He quickly launched long balls to find the fast winger Valencia on the wing

Valencia dribbled forward and soon met Fox’s defence. He did not force a breakthrough.

It’s about keeping the ball down.

At this time, Li Ao had already come up.

Valencia crossed the ball to Li Ao’s feet.

At the time of Lee’s shooting catch

He doesn’t have a single Schalke 04 player around him. It’s not that Schalke 04’s players look down on him.

But now the players of Schalke 04 are quickly falling into position. In the process.

There will inevitably be gaps.

And what Li Ao is looking for is the gap on the court. The first time Lee shot to catch the ball.

Schalke 04’s defensive midfielder Hogg rushed up at the first time. Li Ao turned around and looked to the other side while protecting the ball. Ashley Yang’s side is already inserting forward at high speed!

Li Ao’s turn, plus Ashley Yang’s forward insertion.

The players of Schalke 04 quickly made the judgment that Li Ao was going to pass the ball to Ashley Young.

So their defenders are moving with it! Just as they moved.

Li Ao suddenly dug his body over and swept it with his right foot! The soccer ball rushed forward against the turf.

Meanwhile.

A huge gap was formed on the right side. Full-back Rafael is already on at high speed!!

This ball Li Ao kicked the ball up, keeping the football about a dozen centimeters high from the field, in order to avoid the unexpected situation caused by the water on the field when the football was transported on the turf under heavy rain.

In this case.

All Raphael had to do was run forward. Wait until he catches up with the ball.

He already scored the ball on the right touchline of the big penalty area!! At this time, the defensive strength of Schalke 04 moved again.

Raphael wanted to break through, but he was worried that the field was silky and there would be a mistake. Right at this moment.

He saw Li Ao when he looked at the middle road.

When Li Ao passed the ball.

United’s attackers, plus Kčavelli and Park Ji-sung, all rushed forward

Rush into the box and get ready to receive a cross! But Li Ao didn’t.

He paused abruptly in the run, then took a few steps back. Regained an unguarded gap. This is a gap he took the initiative to create!

He pulled back and threw the defenders away for a while. There is no one around him to keep an eye on him!!

Raphael certainly did not hesitate. He passes the ball first.

The football passed to the feet of Li Ao.

This pass diagonally behind looked to slow down United’s attack again

It seems that this time the attack failed.

Especially after receiving the ball, Li Ao did not pass the ball into the penalty area for the first time, but paused to make a slight adjustment.

This adjustment.

It gave Schalke 04’s defenders time to rush back up.

“Slow down!”

The commentator, Tao Wei, who is also a famous football player in Longguo, patted his thigh. He thinks Li wasted time by making this adjustment.

This attack was halted.

It’s just that.

What he didn’t know was.

What Li Ao is waiting for is the players of Schalke 04 rushing up! Schalke 04 players do not move themselves if they stand in position. So how does the gap come out?

“The gap on the football field can be created on your own initiative!! All you need to do is adjust the other party’s square line! Over the pass! ”

Scholes ‘s words swirled around Li Ao’s mind. This experience comes from a masterful midfielder.

Combined with the situation on the current scene. Li Ao, who gained full control.

Finally, he can watch this game according to his ideas. to confirm many of his ideas.

It’s like it is now.

When Schalke 04’s defenders pressed forward en masse. Their position could not have been kept perfect.

On the move. There will always be space to be utilized!

Li Ao’s brain is like the top supercomputer. Enter all the information present on the field.

Then calculate.

Get the best solution! Straight plug!

Football is like a bullet fired from a sniper rifle. From countless obstacles.

A narrow passage was found.

Under heavy rain. Football breaks through the rain.

Passing between several Schalke 04 defenders. In the surprised eyes of countless people.

The ball made a small turn on the small penalty area line. And then…

Krevili, who had inserted himself into the box from the other side, rushed up. In front of him.

Li Ao’s straight ball slightly higher than the ground passed through the penalty area, fell from the air, and smashed on the ground.

Under rainwater.

The ball suddenly stopped. Stopped at the small exclusion area line!

This was a godsend for Ccabelli. He doesn’t need to adjust.

Raise your foot and shoot directly!!

“Ccabvili!!!!”

Accompanied by the stands.

The long roar of Sky Sports commentator Andy Grey. The ball was kicked upwards by Cleverley. But.

Such a close distance.

Schalke 04’s goalkeeper Holmann only had time to raise his arms.

Then the ball hit the side of his wrist, changed the line slightly, and flew into the goal!!
