In the second half, the situation changed suddenly.

Nijmegen changed their strategy. They aimed at the opening stage of the second half, ran up for a few minutes at any cost, and successfully grabbed a wave of opening.

Forty-seven minutes, Sparta Rotterdam's goal was pierced, and the score between the two sides returned to 1:1.

This was under the high pressure of the Nijmegen forward, and Promes made a mistake in the ball, and was countered by the opponent and scored with a long shot.

Westveld also made a mistake on this ball. He was not concentrating, and he couldn't even make a save, watching the ball fly into the goal.

Pines was very annoyed. He felt that it was a change in his thinking that led to the loss of the ball. Originally, he thought that it would be smooth to replace Qi Ce, but he suddenly decided not to replace Qi Ce. In this way, the original smooth will become unsatisfactory.

Well, it seems quite reasonable to say so, but there seems to be something wrong?

Yes, the butterfly effect! A change in thinking will result in a change in reality!

"Darryl! Quick! Go warm up!"

Pines hammered his thigh and shouted to Robert through gritted teeth.

Robert was refreshed, and immediately took off his coat and ran to the sidelines to start doing warm-up exercises. After an absence of more than two months on the football field, he was finally coming back.

Zize was also a little anxious on the court.

After using up the potion in the first half, there is only the last bottle left. This is a great weapon!

It's just that there is no time to pay attention to these now, and Buhari passed the ball again.

Zize led the ball with his left foot and was about to make the next move. Weisgerhoff stepped forward and accurately grabbed the ball at Zize's feet.

He was more active than in the first half. When Zize got the ball, he would try his best to steal it. If he couldn't, he would consider going back to defense.

There is another teammate behind him to help him delay.

Qi Ce fell into a fight with his opponent again, and his physical fitness was not outstanding, and he suffered repeated defeats in the confrontation.

"Darryl! Get ready, it's time to play! All right?"

"No problem boss! I'm fully recovered!"

Pines nodded, and he was about to replace Robert: "Go and tell them to let Edward go up front and Nourdin return to the midfield! You, Ice Cube, and Edward go to attack their defense!"

"Got the boss!"

Prepare to call 433.

Pines is a conservative coach, but at this time, the half-season is coming to an end, and he doesn't want to lose the chain.

As the Dutchman's offensive instinct, he chose to follow his original intention.

1:1 is a result that neither team wants to see. After Nijmegen scored, the game scene suddenly became clear.

The pace of the two sides accelerated and mistakes became more frequent. In 60 minutes, Sparta Rotterdam took the lead in making substitution adjustments.

Robert came on and replaced Lutes, another midfielder, Zize, Dupron, and Robert as three forwards, Lindbergh, Van Buren and Buhari as three midfielders.

Robert playing means that Sparta can play a high ball threat to the opponent's defense.

Although Zize had scored a very beautiful header before this, but most of the time he could not compete for the header, and Pines did not always choose to let Zize head the ball in the penalty area.

This can now be done.

Robert's playing had to change Nijmegen's original defensive plan.

Their targeted deployment of Zize was very strong before, but now the opponent has switched to playing three strikers. It is too easy for the other two players to find opportunities if this continues, so they can only change.

Zize appears more between the center line and the striker.

The striker is Robert, and the midfielder is Buhari and others. Zize's current position is more like a second forward, a false nine.

Dupron and Zize have partnered forward several times, and this is the first time for Robert, but Zize feels that Robert is much more effective than Dupron standing here.

Because Robert is a serious center, a real center player.

In Shanghai East Asia, in Mainz, including the previous Sparta Rotterdam, Zize has never played with a true center forward.

In East Asia, the partners are Zhu Zhengrong and Lu Wenjun. The former is more like a midfielder and the latter is more like a winger.

In Mainz, the partner is Schurrle, dribbling and speed are his advantages, and he cannot be expected to be a fulcrum in the penalty area and head the ball.

In Sparta, Dupron, the only cameo striker, is an offside king...

Robert wasn't their type of player at all. He was tall, strong, could handle the ball, and shot better than any of the Spartans except Zitzer.

Zize played beside him and found that many things could be simpler.

For example, the heel assist in the first half, in fact, Zize didn't intend to pass the ball like this, but wanted to pass it to Dupron.

Dupron didn't understand Zize's meaning. Fortunately, Lindbergh made an assist in the back row in time, and the goal was scored.

Although Robert will not cut in from the side like Dupron, but if that counterattack is Robert, Zize has more ways to handle the ball, even if Dupron does not cut in on another point, it is fine.

This is a matter of formation and style of play, but some clues can also be seen.

If Robert is on the court, the offense has more options, and the ball can be handed over to him with more confidence, and then he can handle the next step by himself.

That's what the centre-forwards do, scoring goals isn't their only job.

It is true that Robert's playing will definitely lead to a loss of midfield control, but this has nothing to do with Zize, he is a forward.

For example, after playing, Robert's first touch with the ball.

Sparta Rotterdam's quick counterattack was destroyed by Wisgerhoff, but he did not kick the ball to his teammates and failed to organize a wave of fast breaks. The ball was still at the feet of the Sparta players, and Van Buren was in control.

The counterattack quickly turned into a fortified position. Van Buren looked up and passed the ball vigorously to Robert's feet.

Robert leaned on Weisgerhoff's fight and handed the ball to Zitzer in the back position.

It was just a simple possession, but it's one that Zitzer hasn't had a chance to get in the months he's played for the Spartans.

The ball is rolled back from the front, it is a conscious return, that's it, there is nothing superfluous to describe, but it is such a simple pass, which is the most significant role of the center.

Zize will also play this way, but he is not very good at confrontation. He is very embarrassed when receiving this kind of ball, so his teammates will not give him this kind of ball very much, and only center Robert will play this way when he is on the court.

Zize looked around and saw no chance, so he continued to give the ball to Buhari, who was coming up beside him, and let him continue to organize the offense.

Then Zize continued to run to the unmarked position. It doesn't matter if the ball is passed or not. The purpose of running is to stretch the space.

Buhari and Van Buren passed consecutively in the middle, and then Van Buren took the ball to the side and made a slightly larger pass.

The offense ended without a problem, but Qi Ce felt very comfortable with the possession of the ball, except for the result of passing the bottom line at the end.

The so-called striker partner really should be like this!

After seventy minutes, the physical fitness of both sides declined greatly.

Sparta Rotterdam will have three games in eight days, and Nijmegen is no exception. This is the schedule of the Eredivisie League, and every team faces such a schedule.

Both teams started to make more substitutions. Pines had already used up his quota three times. He kept his promise and did not replace Qi Ce.

The next thing Zize has to do is to keep his promise and help Robert find the feeling of scoring goals.

The physical fitness has declined, and the two teams also made frequent mistakes. Robert, who has just played, is not bad in physical fitness.

Zize's kicking rhythm is very slow. At this time, he is conserving his energy and getting ready to be taken away in seventy-five minutes.

Pines also discovered this problem with Zize. Twenty minutes before the start of the second half was the quietest time for Zize.

Ice Cube Boy, just wait for your explosion!

Do what you say, you are a genius!

Pines roared inwardly.
