I Just Can Score

The outside media believed that the key to the victory of St. Pauli and Feyenoord lies in the performance of Zhen Shaolong, but the situation at the beginning of the game seems to prove that their views are not so accurate.

In the first minute of the game, St. Pauli shrank its defense.

It is normal for St. Pauli to play defensive counterattacks, but the game on the field is a bit abnormal, because St. Pauli shrinks the defense line 'too much'.

This is how St. Pauli prepares for the game.

Bergman and the coaching staff discussed the game style of play, and finally chose the most passive but most effective style of play: retreat across the board, that is, put up the iron bucket formation from the beginning.

When St. Pauli is defending, it can be said that it is an 811 formation. The eight players in the backcourt are four defenders and four midfielders.

This formation is very extreme.

St. Pauli almost gave up the competition in the midfield. As soon as Feyenoord got the ball, they immediately retreated across the board. If there is no chance, let the opponent continue to attack.

Before the game, when Bergmann talked with the players about the style of play, he blushed a little. He felt that the style of play was too utilitarian, but thinking that winning was more important, he resolutely adopted this style of play and refused to give Faye Nord any chance, "Victory is the most important thing!"

St. Pauli's extreme defense made Feyenoord very depressed. They didn't expect that at the beginning of the game, they would fall into the vortex of breaking the dense defense.

"Breaking dense defense" is not easy. St. Pauli almost gave up the midfield competition. When Feyenoord got the ball, there were three or four players in the penalty area for a long time, and there were also players around the penalty area. The football reached the frontcourt, as if everywhere They are all St. Pauli players. It is very difficult to pass the ball into the penalty area. Even if it is to attack the penalty area, it is very difficult to find opportunities.

Just "breaking the dense defense" is actually not difficult for Feyenoord.

Many strong teams in the league have experience facing iron barrels, because "intensive defense" is the only way for small balls to beat big ones.

but……

St. Pauli and Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong stood in front, alone against the breeze, but he was like a thorn stuck in Feyenoord's throat.

Don't spit fast!

Theo Lucius spit at Zhen Shaolong more than once. Maybe he didn't do it on purpose, let alone being provocative, but Zhen Shaolong made him feel uncomfortable. The frontcourt teammates obviously needed support, but he kept hesitating , I don’t know whether to attack or not.

"Attack? No way, the opponent's No. 13 must be defended!"

"Continue to stay at the back? It's not okay... teammates need support, and besides, there's nothing to do standing behind!"

Theo Lucius was really depressed. He was a bit envious of Andre Bahia. Bahia was designated by head coach Erwin Coman to mark Zhen Shaolong, but he was not assigned to the game.

What else does a central defender need to be assigned?

Just defensive.

Theo Lucius thought so before, but now he finds that he will become very embarrassed if he does not specify the game work,

He really has nothing to do, as if he has become the worst behaved person.

Theo Lucius feels malice from an 'unfair world'.

For example, Andre Bahia.

Bahia didn't do anything either. From the start of the game to the present, in more than ten minutes, there was only one pitiful touch of the ball, and he still received a pass from the goalkeeper and made a simple connection.

But as long as the opponent's No. 13 does not score, the media will definitely praise Bahia's excellent performance after the game.

What about yourself?

If Zhen Shaolong occasionally goes forward to assist and scores a goal, he will also be considered as "not doing a good job defensively", because he is a central defender like Bahia.

on the contrary.

If you don't step forward to assist, you will be considered as a 'mediocre performance' and the audience will have nothing to do.

The only way to be considered a good performance is to step forward and perform well in assists. At the same time, Zhen Shaolong failed to score a goal.

Theo Lucius wanted to fight for this 'opportunity', so he kept looking at Zhen Shaolong, wanting to make sure if the other party was threatening.

Of course that doesn't make sense.

Theo Lucius hesitated for a long time, so he could only run forward, but he didn't dare to go forward, and stayed behind for a while, halfway through, he kept aiming at Zhen Shaolong, the number of times he looked over was even more than that of Bahia. more.

Zhen Shaolong looked weird.

St. Pauli's style of play is very extreme, that is, defense across the board, and even rarely takes the initiative to attack. If you want to hit the ball to the front, you can only rely on luck.

So Zhen Shaolong couldn't get the ball at all.

When Zhen Shaolong was free, he simply stood there and stared at Theo Lucius, because the other party always looked at him inexplicably.

"Who is afraid of whom!"

"You definitely don't know how to kill with eyes, but I might be able to! Maybe the system rewards me with a "kill with eyes" because I keep looking at it?

The battle between Zhen Shaolong and Theo Lucius' eyes and heart has officially begun.

When Zhen Shaolong was standing at the end, playing a game of killing eyes with the opponent's central defender, Feyenoord was working hard to score goals in the frontcourt.

They played very depressed.

'Breaking the dense defense' will cause headaches for any giant. St. Pauli's dense defense is really a bit extreme. The players have been piled up in the back and have repeatedly become real defenders.

Eight defenders...

How do you play this ball?

Under such an extreme defense, the coordination and technology that Feyenoord relied on have become clouds in the sky. Even if they can change the color, it is meaningless. After a period of time, Feyenoord had to recognize the reality—— —

It is impossible for them to rely on technology and cooperation to make a chance!

Now it's time to get tough!

Tough style of play refers to the simplest, direct, and rough style of play, such as high-lobed crosses, strikers competing for the top, such as long-range shots, etc. Unfortunately, neither of them is Feyenoord good at.

If the opponent is Schalke 04, Bergmann will not be so extreme. Schalke 04 has three tall and strong forwards, who are best at simple and rough play.

Not Feyenoord.

Not to mention Bischalke 04, compared to ordinary Bundesliga clubs, they are all worse in terms of 'simple and rough'.

If you fight for skills and cooperation, Feyenoord is not weaker than others. Spelling 'simple and rude'...

Feyenoord wants to admit defeat!

The game situation on the field is that Feyenoord has been attacking and St. Pauli has been defending.

Feyenoord is the offensive side, and the situation is definitely in the upper hand, but the reporters in the media seats know that St. Pauli is in the upper hand.

First, St. Pauli is ahead.

Two to three in the first round was enough to support their continued defense.

Secondly, there are not many ways for Feyenoord to 'break the dense defense'.

In the nearly 30 minutes of the game, Feyenoord had only three shots, only one of which was within the range of the goal frame, and was easily held in the arms of goalkeeper Henarev. threatening shot.

If the game continues like this, even if Feyenoord scores a goal, they will be eliminated by St. Pauli.

The Dutch media reporters were anxious, they kept cursing St. Pauli's utilitarianism——

"He defended from the beginning!"

"Utility football!"

"They will do whatever it takes to win! We should resist this!"

"It's football going backwards!"

The German reporters were very calm. It doesn't matter how St. Pauli plays. The important thing is that St. Pauli can successfully advance to the top sixteen of the UEFA Cup.

The result is what matters!

Last summer, when "planning" the German club's European results, St. Pauli was not counted. Most of the media believed that St. Pauli would be eliminated in the group stage.

St. Pauli qualifying as the first in the group is already surprising. It is definitely an unexpected surprise to successfully enter the UEFA Cup round of 16. It is completely different from the mid-upstream teams such as Leverkusen and Stuttgart. The results of participating in the UEFA Cup Worse.

So the result is what matters.

St. Pauli's style of play is indeed a bit "shameless", but the tactics that can win are good tactics. For the first time, many German journalists applauded Bergmann's style of play from the bottom of their hearts.

Before……

They all just think that this guy... is just lucky!

Feyenoord's consecutive offenses were unfavorable, and they seemed a little anxious on the whole.

Theo Lucius and Zhen Shaolong failed in the confrontation with the "eye killing technique". When he saw that there was no opportunity for a long time in the frontcourt, he had to step forward to assist the offensive, and ran to the outside to cooperate with his teammates.

Then……

Nicky Hoffs is intercepted!

This time it was a poke pass from Theo Lucius. He received the pass from the right side and saw the opportunity to poke the ball forward. The pass was strong and angled, but Nicky Hoffs seemed to want to He gave the ball to the side with one kick, and didn't notice Bol rushing behind him, and the football was stabbed by Bol.

Cozmore immediately gave a big foot!

This big foot was similar to a clearance, but because of the sudden steal, Cozmore had time to scan the frontcourt, and the football rushed towards the frontcourt.

Theo Lucius sprints back, but he can't keep up with the ball.

The football went over his head.

Zhen Shaolong glanced at the ball, and immediately started to move forward quickly.

Bahia started at the same time.

The title of "Standing Warrior" is coming!

Even if he stood in the same place for a long time, Zhen Shaolong could still maintain his best condition, and Bahia was walking beside him, basically not consuming any physical energy, but his physical and mental state were not at their best either.

Zhen Shaolong took advantage of his best state for a short period of time, immediately launched an explosion and threw away Bahia.

The football game is not about speed, but about explosive power. If you have high explosive power, you can rush fast. On the contrary, it doesn't make much sense to run faster at the later speed.

Bahia was knocked out of the way when the football hit the grass.

Because the football hits the front, Zhen Shaolong didn't even need to stop the ball, he just competed with Bahia for speed. He didn't turn on "Strike", he rushed over in one breath, and then pressed the ball down with his feet.

Go ahead!

Goalkeeper Thimmer strikes early.

Zhen Shaolong took the ball two steps forward, and Timmer was almost at the penalty area line. He seemed to want to attack Bahia back and forth outside the penalty area.

It can only be said that the imagination is very rich.

Zhen Shaolong would not miss this kind of opportunity. After stably controlling the ball, he glanced at Timmer and kicked it immediately.

lob!

The football flew high, rushed over Timer's head, and then fell accurately into the goal!

next moment.

The surrounding stands were completely filled with loud cheers!
