Chapter 198 Pan Yi's Charm

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Schalke 04 really continued their oppressive style of play, implementing a close press on the Hamburg players.

This is predictable.

The head coach generally will not take the initiative to correct the tactics that can win or score goals.

Hamburg, on the other hand, voluntarily gave up control of the ball according to Pan Yi's instructions, and tightened the defense, allowing Schalke 04 to attack.

This situation lasted only ten minutes, and Hamburg has already ushered in an opportunity.

Because Schalke 04's pressing force is reduced faster than Pan Yi imagined!
Their players looked like Stevens had specially trained to execute this tactic in order to deal with Pan Yi, but after all, they were still not fully used to this intensity of fighting.

Including the distribution of physical strength and the rotation of pressing personnel, it is not as good as Hamburg.

Therefore, when they played for about 55 minutes, Hamburg began to have a tendency to take over the game.

They began to try to launch a counter-offensive.

In the 58th minute, Vardy withdrew his defense to help the team steal the ball, and then De Bruyne counterattacked with the ball in the middle. Sun Xingmin pushed from the left and was too positive, which was obtained by the opponent's goalkeeper Unnerstahl.

In the 62nd minute, Hamburg's corner kick caused chaos at the back point, and then Casemiro's pick pass found Wu Lei, who flew into the stands with a burst shot.

In the 65th minute, this time it was a long pass from Rudiger in the backcourt.

In the competition for the top of the arc in the middle circle, Casemiro overwhelmed Jones to top the ball and handed it to De Bruyne.

As soon as the Hamburg midfielder got the ball, two players from Schalke 04 rushed over to defend.

But De Bruyne played a two-for-one with his teammate Makoto Hasebe, easily reached the front, and then passed the ball directly with the instep of his foot!

The ball just passed through the gap between the two central defenders of Schalke 04, Hewedes and Papadopoulos, and reached the open space on the right.

After Wu Lei got the ball, he immediately started to speed up. Schalke 04's left-back Austrian player Fuchs couldn't stop Wu Lei's progress.

When rushing to the periphery of the penalty area, Wu Lei passed the ball to De Bruyne, who had already run in the middle to meet him, and he advanced at a faster speed and rushed into the penalty area.

At this time, most of Schalke 04's defenders' attention has been attracted by Wu Lei, but De Bruyne did not prepare to pass the ball after receiving the ball.

He stopped the ball with his right foot and flicked it horizontally, and he had already found the angle of the shot.

After slightly raising his head to observe the opponent's goalkeeper's position, De Bruyne kicked decisively!
At the top of the arc in the penalty area, he hit a high-quality shot close to the ground. The ball barely had any spin, and it just scraped the turf and went straight into Schalke 04's goal!
"The ball went in, De Bruyne's long shot!"

"This kick was very beautiful. Schalke 04's goalkeeper Unnerstahl seemed to have his sight affected by his teammates in the penalty area, and he hardly reacted."

"Now Hamburg has tied the score to 1:1!"

"This is a goal initiated by De Bruyne and completed by De Bruyne. At the same time, the cooperation of Hamburg in the center and the right is also very exciting. It can be said that it completely penetrated Schalke 04's defense. !..."

After this goal, Pan Yi was also greatly relieved on the sidelines.

Although he has made careful arrangements for the second half of the game, after all, goals sometimes do not come as expected because of tactical opponents.

If you are unlucky enough, maybe the home goal post and the opponent's goalkeeper will become factors that prevent Hamburg from equalizing the score.

Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen to Hamburg today.

Now that they have equalized, what they have to do is to continue to attack, and then strive to score another goal!
After all, this is a key battle for the top four. Hamburg is going to use the home court advantage to win the opponent, so as to get rid of such a direct competitor!
Under the signal of Pan Yi waving his hands forward, Hamburg also started to attack with all its strength.

At this moment, Schalke 04 is exhausted, but they are still very well organized in defense.

After realizing that his players were at the end of their strength, Schalke 04 coach Stevens also changed his strategy in time and switched from offense to defense.

It is acceptable for him to score a point away from home.

And defense is the guarantee that Schalke 04 can achieve better results this season!
In order to ensure the quality of defense, Stevens also replaced some young players, such as Draxler, Matip, Kolasinac, etc.-well, they are all old acquaintances in the future.

Therefore, Hamburg is also in a hard fight.

After all, positional warfare is not their best form of attack!
The game was played until 80 minutes later, and the stalemate was still maintained at 1:1.

But there is always a sparse one hundred secrets.

Schalke 04 captain Hewedes failed to return to his position in time after a grab, and the gap between him and Matip was once again exposed to the Hamburg players.

Vardy quickly realized this, accelerated suddenly, and after throwing Matip away, he rushed into the penalty area behind him and shouted: "Quick, here I am!"

At this time, it was De Bruyne who took the ball in Hamburg. His footwork can be said to be where he hits. With a light pick pass, the ball has already flown in front of Vardy.

The full-back Atsuto Uchida on the other side reacted quickly. After seeing Vardy going forward and not offside, he hurried over to fill the positions of the two central defenders, and tried to stick close to Vardy so that he could not continue to accelerate.

But the Japanese underestimated Vardy's speed.

In this short period of half a second, Vardy has already thrown him off with a burst, and kicked him without any hesitation!
This is the characteristic of this England striker, bold and direct!

And Schalke 04 goalkeeper Unnerstahl reacted quickly. When Vardy dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he had already rushed up.

At the moment when Vardy shot, he had already stretched out his arms and legs, using the largest defensive area to block Vardy's shot.

Unfortunately, Lady Luck was not on his side today.

Vardy's shot passed through his crotch wicket impartially and fell towards the goal behind him.

"The ball went in again!!!!!!"

"This time it's Vardy! In the 87th minute of the game, Hamburg reversed Schalke 04!"

"England center Vardy scored a reversal goal for Hamburg!"

"Now the score is two to one!"

More than 5 Hamburg fans were chanting Vardy's name frantically.

And Vardy also rushed to the sidelines excitedly, kept waving at the Hamburg fans in the stands, and put his hands to his ears, as if to signal that their cheers could come more violently.

"It was a very solid shot and Vardy played really well tonight."

"This striker who played in England's low-level league last season has grown into a top scorer in Hamburg and has scored 6 goals in the Bundesliga."

"But the best player in today's game, I think it should be awarded to Hamburg's midfielder De Bruyne."

"He led Hamburg to complete the reversal with one pass and one shot, so that the home fans will not be disappointed."

"This young midfielder performed well in Belgium before, but he has not been able to prove his strength after being bought by Chelsea. After moving to Hamburg this season, he has shown better and better performances! "

"Although Hamburg's performance in the first half was not ideal, they seemed to be a bit stunned by Schalke 04 and conceded a goal."

"But after entering the second half, after Pan Yi made adjustments during the intermission, Hamburg's performance improved significantly. However, Schalke 04 fell into a passive position and was pulled twice in a row, which was a tragic reversal."

"We have to say that tonight's game made us feel once again the key role of a head coach in a team."

"It can be said that from Hamburg, we have seen the charm of tactics, and at the same time, the charm of Pan Yi!"
