Chapter 27 Rostock Relegation Battle 4
This time, the hero of Rostock is Rostock captain Birov, who has not appeared for a long time. After Birov received Li Yi's pass outside the small penalty area, a beautiful fish jumped to the top and headed the ball/entered the goal. Rostock was lucky to lead away from home, 1-0.
After lying on the ground and seeing the ball into the net, Birov quickly got up from the ground and ran to Li Yi. After playing in the league for more than 10 years, the number of goals has remained in single digits so far, and Li Yi has only played more than 10 games and gave him 2 assists. Birov is really excited!
Well, leading the leader of the Second Bundesliga made the adrenaline soar for all the players in Rostock, and Li Yi, who assisted, became a "victim" again. How miserable is the one at the bottom of more than 10 people? Just look at Li Yi.
Don't gossip and go back to the court.
Seeing Rostock's endless celebration, it's time for the game. The referee on duty blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the game...
After everyone returned to the locker room, Li Yi kept rubbing his shoulders. He was "besieged" just now. Now he has not recovered, and his whole body is still faintly painful.
Fink, who had been in a "hair dryer" state, did not continue his role this time, and spared no effort to praise the 10 players in Rostock during the break.
Leading the leader at half-time, is there anything else that makes him dissatisfied? If you have to find one, it's Frankfurt. Frankfurt played against Cottbus at home in this game. At the end of the first half, it was also a 1-0 lead!
In fact, for Fink, I don't think relegation is a big problem. With Li Yihou's unbeaten record, he has full confidence to face the third place in the Bundesliga. What? Fink thought about it for a long time before he remembered, Ingolstadt!
Now Fink thinks more about whether it is possible to upgrade the Bundesliga next season. By the way, as the season is coming to an end, Fink also remembered the problem of Li Yi's contract two days earlier. Li Yi is still taking the youth team contract now. This kind of contract is a non-guaranteed contract. If a team poachs Li Yi at this time, it doesn't even need to pay the transfer fee to Rostock. Of course, the premise is to do it first. Li Yi's work.
So Fink urgently contacted Chairman Hoffman on the same day, proposing to raise Li Yi's salary and re-sign a formal professional contract.
However, a belly full of fat intestines is full of fat intestines. After hearing Fink's words, Hoffman actually told him not to worry, let's see!
Originally, Fink wanted to argue with Hoffman, but it suddenly occurred to him that his own contracts were still non-guaranteed! I have no choice but to give up. Let's wait until the end of this season!
-----
With the whistle of the referee, the second half of Kaiserslautern VS Rostock began.
After the start of the second half of the game, Fink found a strange problem!
That is, Kaiserslautern, who is behind in the score, seems to not care about winning or losing the game at all. As soon as he comes up, he steadily controls the ball on the court and is not in a hurry to attack.
Fink, who didn't know how the other team's coach arranged, had to come to the side and tell the players on Rostock that no matter what the other side is, they have only one task. It doesn't matter if they defend first and fight back or not! Fink's idea is to adapt to changes without change! He believes that if Kaiserslautern wants to rewrite the score, he will definitely attack first.
Receiving the instructions brought by head coach Fink, Rostock, who played one less person, under the command of Birov, all shrank in his own half, leaving only a Shapzadehe near the midfield!
In such a situation where both sides seem to have no desire to attack, the game time is dull, passing minute by minute.
Seeing that the home score was behind, they did nothing. The Red Devils, who performed well this season, actually got the boos of the home fans!
Kaiserslautern's head coach, Krasimir Balakov, was unmoved after hearing the boos of the home fans, motioned the players on the field to continue to play according to the midfield arrangement.
If Li Yi starts the whole field analysis now, he will find a problem, that is, Kaiserslautern seems to be meaningless near the midfield, and the ball is getting closer and closer to Rostock's goal! Unfortunately, Li Yi didn't have it, so although Rostock has doubts about why Kaiserslautern "co-in-co-" with himself to win, he still has no clue!
In the 20th minute of the second half, Kaiserslautern, who had been maintaining a super slow pace in the second half of the game, suddenly accelerated. With Balakov replacing three main players on the attack line, Kaiserslautern's offensive was like a huge wave, rushing to the Rostock front one after another! The defense is not good. Can Rostock, who has played one less player for most of the game, successfully keep the score 1-0 to the end of the game?
At this time, sitting off the court, Fink, who had been thinking about what Balakkov thought, also reacted. The tactic Balakov wanted to use was to use, that is, to use 30 minutes in the second half of the game to let the Rostock players follow his own pace. Well, Kaiserslautern speeded up, and Rostock also ran around with the field. Are you coming? Don't forget that there is one less person on the field in Rostock now. In this way, he will follow Kaiserslautern's rhythm. In terms of physical strength, he is bound to face a serious test in the last few minutes of the game!
However, even if he knew the other party's idea, Fink felt that there was nothing he could do. The three substitutions in Rostock's game have now been used up. Fink replaced goalkeeper Brinski to replace striker Cohen in the first half, and made two personnel adjustments in the middle and backcourt in the second half. Now there is no one to change the funk. Whether you can hold it or not depends on the performance of the players on the court. As for asking the players on the field not to run with each other? This is even more impossible. Isn't it lighting a lantern in the dung pit and looking for death?
Sure enough, as Balakov and Fink expected, the critical moment to decide the outcome of this game has finally come, which is the last 10 minutes of the game.
After running for 15 minutes with Rostock players, Kaiserslautern suddenly lowered the rhythm of the game again, and the problem came out with the change of rhythm.
People are all lazy. If you keep running, you can't say that you can grit your teeth and stick to it, and your physical strength can survive the limit. That's good. However, as the old fox on the court before, Balakoff didn't expect to be a coach, and it was still difficult to deal with. He chose the critical point of Rostock's fatigue and put down the rhythm of the game. In this way, the players on the field in Rostock, in addition to the two players and Li Yi in the second half, as well as the goalkeeper Brinski, all felt exhausted and could not run. This game has really begun now.
Seeing that almost all the players on the Rostock court could not run, Balakoff waved his hand on the side of the field, signaling Kaiserslautern to start a full-scale attack.
In this way, Rostock really realized the real strength of Kaiserslauten.
At the beginning of the first half, Kaiserslautern did not have a single main player in the attack. It was full of substitutes and young players, so there was not much pressure on Rostock. Except for that penalty, there was almost no absolute chance.
In the second half, Kaiserslautern replaced three main players on the attack line because of Balakov's arrangement. In the attack, the actual threat was not great. What he had been doing was just to drag down the physical strength of the Rostock players.
At the beginning of Kaiserslautern's attack wave, Li Yi also wanted to make some effective interceptions against Kaiserslautern in the middle of the court, but after Kaiserslautern kept kicking the ball and not giving Li Yi a chance at all, Li Yi was helpless.
After all, he is still a human being, not a god. Even if Li Yi turns on the God mode now, Li Yi is sure that the probability of breaking the ball will not exceed 50%, and there is a great chance to become a sleeping god again because of excessive brain use!
After seeing that the robbery/robbery is invalid, Li Yi simply returned to his own forbidden area and chose to open a small analysis when the other party passed it to the first landing point!
In this way, the effect is really much better than running around just now. Rostock's goal is temporarily a little safer.
In fact, Li Yi can't compete for the opponent's cross every time because of his thin body, but as long as you can constantly interfere in front of the opponent's attacking players, even if you can't grab the ball and let the opponent's shooter always be in the confrontation, the opponent's shot will be inaccurate!
Balakoff on the sidelines suddenly felt very incredible when he saw that Rostock's defense had a slight tendency to become stronger.
"They obviously have no physical strength. How can the defense become stable?" Balakoff's head rotated rapidly. Seeing that striker No. 9 Rakichi once again flew the cross from the side to the top under the interference of Li Yi, Balakoff finally found the key to the problem.
After "No. 87, Artes-KEYMAN" wrote this sentence on the tactic board, Balakoff called the team's spirit of the team's attack, No. 10 Chadli Amri, to the side.
The bottom pass tactic that has just been playing is arranged by Balakov, because there are too many people gathered in the middle of Rostock, and it is not easy to tear up the defense line of Cairo Stock from the middle.
How to break through the iron barrel array has always been a century-old problem in the football field. Balakov replaced two high school strikers, plus the front waist Amri. Originally, he felt that in the face of a weak team like Rostock, not to mention the final overtaking, it would definitely be no problem to equalize. Unexpectedly, Rostock was actually because of one person - Li Yi, In the bottom of the pass, it turned into a chicken rib! So he has to change his tactics.
"So, so, so, so, so" After saying in Amri's ear, Balakov patted Amri's shoulder heavily and signaled Amri to return to his position quickly!
After Amri returned to the court, Fink felt that Kaiserslauten must have changed, but Fink was not a fairy. Before the other party used it, he really didn't know the opponent's tactics. This is the passiveness of the defense. You never know what the other side is thinking before the other party uses it.
After taking the ball about 30 meters away from the goal, Amri did not divide the edge as before, but chose to break through...
