Chapter 58 For the fans!
Don't mention Hamburg coach Toplum's confusion. Just looking at the game on the Fairings Stadium, the two teams are indistinguishable. The two sides are looking for the opponent's flaws at any time to get the fatal blow and let their own side take the lead in breaking the goal.
It seems to be the same situation, but the efficiency of the two sides is very different.
Schalke 04 has such a heavy gunner like Don Jack, coupled with the advantage of the midfield line, which makes Schalke 04's offensive efficiency more, which can be seen from the shooting efficiency of both sides in the first 25 minutes: Schalke 04 shot eight times, four times in the frame, and scored zero goals; Hamburg team shot three times and hit The door frame is once, and the number of goals is zero.
Obviously, the draw in the situation does not explain all the problems.
Of course, Toplum found this, but he has nothing he can do. After all, it's okay to make small-scale tactical adjustments in the game, but now let the Hamburg team improve the attack into defense? That's no different from looking for death.
"Only at halftime, let's think about it..." Toplum couldn't help thinking about it.
If Hamburg can support the half-time break, then he can make some backcourt defense adjustments against Schalke 04's attack, and Hamburg's chances in the second half will increase. However, if you can't support it... Hamburg can only continue to attack!
What can I do?
What kind of defense do you want when you are behind? If you don't equalize the score, everything is empty talk. No matter how strong the defense is, what's the use? If you fall behind, you will fall behind. If you don't score, you will lose. No matter how many goals you lose, Hamburg will just be broken.
"It's all because of that annoying Holmes!" Toplum couldn't help but think that the more he looked at the black-haired 'heavy gunner' on the court, the more he felt that Holmes was hateful. Such an outstanding talented player, Holmes actually felt that there was no future, and even the Hamburg youth team was not allowed to enter?
What a ridiculous thing this is.
Look at it now. In less than half a year, this boy has arrived in the Schalke 04 team, standing on the Bundesliga field, and has become the player with the greatest threat to Hamburg's rear defense. This is really...
"Oh!"
Thinking of this, Toplum even regretted coming to Hamburg. At Hamburg, it is not only the president of the club who likes to dictate to the team, but he can put up with this. After all, the other party is his own boss and pays his salary. He can do whatever he wants.
But, that Holmes?
This guy is not very good, but he is very arrogant, and because he has been in the club for a long time, he has won the trust of the club president, and even promoted him to become his assistant.
What kind of assistant is that? It's just an ancestor!
Thinking about this, Toplum felt angry and trembling all over. Just two days ago, after learning about Jack Don's, although the president of the club also had some opinions about Holmes, the chairman only scolded him, but there was no punishment, and let him be his assistant. It's really...
"I must leave Hamburg this summer."
Thinking like this, the situation on the court has changed a lot, because Schalke 04 finally scored! Unexpectedly, it was not Don Jack who scored the biggest threat, but veteran Ebe. Sander.
After all, the veteran is a veteran! The game experience is not comparable to that of a young player!
After Don Jack's long-range shot was saved by the opposing goalkeeper, he rolled into a chaotic penalty area. Everyone panicked to find the ball, Mike. Hank was lucky. He hit the ball at a glance, but the distance was too far, and there were two players around him to defend. Hank failed to grab the ball at the first time.
But at this time, Ebe. Sander suddenly rushed into the penalty area and put a foot on the edge of the football.
Make up for the empty goal!
The opponent's goalkeeper didn't even stand up on the grass, and he was still glad that he saved this time, but the football had already flew into the Hamburg team's gate.
"Bing..."
With the effective whistle of the goal, the scoreboard number at Feltings Stadium became '1:0'. After 32 minutes of hard work, Schalke 04 finally scored a goal at home, leading Hamburg.
............
The Schalke 04 fans cheered. At the Feltings Stadium, Schalke 04 led the opponent, which is worth celebrating.
Today, the mentality of fans is different from usual.
Think about it, in the historical period, especially during World War II, Schalke 04 was a powerful German club. At that time, Schalke 04 was nicknamed the 'Tsar' by fans. It was the king of German football. No team could compete with Schalke 04.
And now?
Schalke 04 has been reduced to an ordinary Bundesliga team, but the overlord has been taken away by the original 'small team' of Bayern Munich, which is really ironic.
In the 'Tsar' period, the sharpness of Schalke 04 was unstoppable. At that time, art football advocated attack and used attack to destroy the opponent. Everyone did this, and Schalke 04 was the strongest among them.
Compared with now, Schalke 04 has become a utilitarian team. In order to maintain their position in the Bundesliga, under financial difficulties, they have to focus on defense and use defense to let the team win a better position in the Bundesliga. The gap really can't be calculated.
But now, everyone has seen another offensive Schalke 04. They are as if they have seen the rise of Schalke 04 again, which reminds the fans of the glory of Schalke 04 mentioned by their ancestors. They have a glorious history. Will history repeat itself now? Will Schalke 04 rise?
This idea made all Schalke 04 very excited, and the Schalke 04 fans in the North Side of the audience sang the team's team song to celebrate the goal. Soon, this celebration spread to the whole Feltings Stadium---
Blue and white, how much I love you;
Blue and white, don't leave me;
Blue and white are the color of the sky, the color of the sky; blue and white, the color of our uniform;
Blue and white are the color of the sky, the color of the sky; blue and white are the color of our uniform;
If we have a kingdom, we will build it like the Schalke people;
Girls are so young and beautiful, so young and beautiful, everyone has to wear blue and white to go for a walk;
The girls are so young and beautiful, so young and beautiful that everyone has to wear blue and white for a walk; Muhammad is a prophet. He doesn't know how to play football at all, but he chooses blue and white from many colorful colors;
From many gorgeous colors, yes, gorgeous colors, he chose blue and white;
Thousands of flames at night bring us luck.
Tens of millions of friends stand together;
Schalke Football Club will never be defeated,
Tens of millions of friends stand together;
Schalke Football Club will never be defeated!
......
The whole Fairtimes Stadium was filled with this song full of **. At this time, even the head coach Heinkes on the sidelines was moved to sing this song with the fans. The Schalke 04 players on the court no longer celebrate. They stood together and bowed to the players valued by Schalke 04, constantly Awe and thank them from the bottom of my heart.
This situation lasted for a few minutes. When the referee on the scene couldn't delay, the game restarted. Now, the Schalke 04 players have another reason to work hard for victory - for the fans!
'Yes! For the fans!'
Jack Don also thought so in his heart. At this moment, he was extremely excited. With the support of so many valued fans, how can you work hard only for your own interests?
It's all for the fans!
