Chapter 869

In the following games, Schalke still took the initiative on the field. Their offense was still higher than the wave, while Stuttgart was completely stunned. They could only retreat and defend hard in the half court. Target opponents by counterattacking defensively.

No. In 203 minutes, Jing Duoan made a long pass from the backcourt, but the football was a bit high. Ai Huan immediately jumped high to head the ball, but the football immediately flew to the other side. Shot, but the ball goes slightly over the goal beam.

No. In 30 minutes, Mata suddenly scored the ball in the frontcourt, Pukki made a high-speed assault, and volleyed with his left foot from the front of the penalty area, but the football went over the lintel again.After that, Schalke's offense still did not weaken in the slightest. On the contrary, Stuttgart's counterattack really did not see any threat. The loss of the midfield made them unable to organize an effective counterattack at all.

But before half-time, Hovides was unable to continue the game due to a facial injury due to a collision with teammate Escudero, which made Magath very nervous, because the most lacking in his hands was the rear. Defensive players, now Howards' injury immediately caused him a bit of a headache.

However, he immediately made a decision to let Joaquin play to replace Howides, and then Joaquin and Fuchs coordinated positions, and Ai Huan returned to the central defender line. This is also a no-brainer.

"There is a problem at this moment. There is such a big problem in our defense, but why didn't the club introduce central defenders during the winter break? Could it be that Schalke has reached the most dangerous moment?" Di Pu said Satisfied, Ai Huan was put on the defense line, which was equivalent to cutting off his own arm, which was a big problem.

Fortunately, Schalke was not affected much after the change of sides, but the problem soon appeared again. Fuchs strained his calf muscle less than 3 minutes after the opening of the second half, and Schalke performed another Forced to make a substitution, this time Magath replaced Fuchs with Draxler, and Draxler also went to the right after he came on, while Mata stepped into the forward position.

At 7 minutes, Draxler broke the ball and handed it to Ai Huan who came up to help defend. Ai Huan quickly counterattacked and made a through pass. The football pierced the opponent's defense line like a scalpel, and Pukki directly broke into the penalty area. The strong shot from the left was saved by Ulreich to the bottom line!

Then Draxler took a corner kick from the left, Joaquin leaped high in the penalty area and scored with a header, making the score [-]-[-], and the slow motion showed that when he scored, the opponent even came up to defend. No, the Stuttgart players almost watched Joaquin's header.

It also made the coach of Stuttgart very angry. He was unwilling to lose, so he immediately sent Sie Bell and Shinji Okazaki to play five forwards, trying to make a last-ditch effort, but this method was almost the same as suicide. The field is already weak, and now it is even more out of control, and Ai Huan and Matip's cooperation in the backcourt is very skilled. The counterattack seemed a bit tragic, but full of nonsense.

But Schalke also took advantage of this opportunity to fight back non-stop, and almost every time they could set off a small climax, and the opponent who hit them was disheartened and had nothing to do.

No. In 606 minutes, Demba Ba sent a wonderful slash ball from the right side. After Mata stopped the ball, his push shot from the left side of the penalty area was saved by Ulreich!Joaquin immediately followed, but when he got the ball and tried to get rid of the defender, the ball was intercepted. Schalke missed another great opportunity.

Four minutes later, Stuttgart created the team's most threatening attack of the game. Scibel got rid of the left side and then made a cross, which was blocked by Escudero and almost caused an own goal. Fortunately, Ai Huan followed up in time. Resolve the danger before the line!
"Sure enough, it's God. With him in the frontcourt or the backcourt, we can sit back and relax. This is our Schalke's strongest trump card. What are you waiting for if you don't surrender?" Uncle Di Pu laughed. .

When the game progressed to No.80 minutes, Ai Huan made a wonderful steal again. After the steal, he and Gundogan and others played a wonderful collision into the wall. , Draxler scored with his left foot from the middle of the penalty area, and the 3 football flew into the opponent's goal again.Aofu Schalke once again fell into ecstasy.

Before the midfield, Schalke was still looking for opportunities to score. Mata picked the ball in the penalty area and then scored. Demba Ba's shot from the left side of the penalty area hit the far post and popped up. Pukki also seized this opportunity and directly scored a supplementary shot, and the score was locked at [-]-[-].

"We saw Schalke's smooth offensive coordination in this game. It can be said that the current Schalke is a bit too strong. At least in the Bundesliga, it is difficult for them to find new opportunities. Maybe their opponents should be The next opponent in the Champions League is now, we all know that in the draw held yesterday, Schalke's next opponent is AC Milan, this should be the most eye-catching game."

"Yeah, that's where Ai Huan left. He has always expressed complicated feelings towards Milan, and now he's finally going to face it. It's really hard to tell what it's like." Xie Quan also echoed Zhang Dao's words. .

Zhang Dao sighed slightly, "But the current Schalke also has a big problem. They didn't introduce any defenders during the winter break. This seems to have confirmed some rumors, and will these rumors affect the team? What about the next game? That's the question."

"I don't think those rumors are true. After all, several players said that they have never heard of these things at all, and now it seems that Ai Huan can also play as a central defender. This does not affect Schalke's future. Integrity defense, to be honest, Stuttgart did not have any effect after strengthening their offense in the second half of the game, which can already show that Ai Huan is good, and there is really no need to spend any more money in Schalke with such players."

"I have a different opinion on this. Let me ask you something, if Ai Huan is in our national team, do you think he should be placed in the frontcourt or the backcourt?"

Xie Quan immediately said, "Of course it's an offense. Wouldn't he be a fool if he doesn't use his offense? We don't even need to defend."

"That's right, it's a waste. Not to mention whether his defensive ability is world-class, but his offense is absolutely top-notch. It must be impossible to put him in the backcourt. Reluctant to choose."
