Chapter 72: Damn, so that's how it is!

Hamburg's team is shoulder to shoulder in the penalty area, crowded and overwhelming. Both teams are very cautious about the opportunity for free kicks this time. You should know that when the two teams are evenly matched or the game is at a deadlock, set pieces are the only magic weapon to break the situation.

Stuttgart also wants to use this opportunity to take advantage of his team's height advantage to score a goal first, so that Stuttgart will play more calmly in the subsequent games.

Pardo has been standing behind the football for a long time. It’s not that he doesn’t want to kick off quickly, but that he can’t drive the ball. Both team players know the importance of this ball, and they just have to fight in the penalty area. The referee has whistled more than once, warning the players of both teams to control their temper.

After waiting for about 1 and a half minutes, I don’t know how many times the referee blew the whistle, but this time, Pardo (wallowed his ears) was able to successfully drive the ball over the Hamburg team’s penalty area.

"The referee blew the whistle again, indicating that Stuttgart midfielder Pardo could kick off the ball. Pardo observed the situation in Hamburg's penalty area again. Well, the pass, back point, Gomez, header! Huh, it's so dangerous, Kompani's running position is very good, just blocking Gomez's header. But the most important point is that when Pardo took the free kick, he did not retreat to give himself an acceleration distance, and directly swung his legs and kicked the ball towards the penalty area. Although he did not score because of this, it can be seen how strong Pardo's leg muscles are. No wonder he has such a good long-range shot."

Sean, a commentator from Hamburg TV, said with some savory taste. In his opinion, Trosovsky has good abilities and potential, but his condition is average, his performance is average, he has no mistakes, but he cannot give people surprises. If Trosovsky is replaced by Pardo, the overall strength of Hamburg's midfield will be improved. Of course, this is purely his personal yy.

The game continued, and the atmosphere of the game slowly began to become hot. The offensive rhythm of both players accelerated and the defensive movements were also quite good. The referees frequently warned the players of the two teams several times. However, because the Hamburg team had more threatening counterattacks, Stuttgart had to use foul tactics to curb the momentum of Hamburg.

However, in general, the two teams still seem evenly matched in terms of the strength shown in this game. No one can say that they will be the one who is on the other. Both sides have a chance, but they are not well grasped.

In the 23rd minute, Hamburg finally ushered in a chance to fight.

After receiving the pass from Trosovsky in the middle, Van der Fate turned his right foot and handed the ball from behind to Arolim who was inserted in front. But the Stuttgart player also reacted quickly and immediately blocked Arolim's forward route. In desperation, Arolim could only hand over the ball to Atuba on the wing.

Yarolim's pass was a bit deep. Atuba was tall and big, and his speed was not very fast. Fortunately, the Stuttgart full-back had already come to block Yarolim. Before he could come back to defend, Atuba was not too slow. After catching up with the football, he immediately made a cross.

The pass speed was very fast and the arc was not large, just heading towards the front point. Trosovsky, who quickly inserted, competed for the first point before the opponent, but did not shoot. Instead, he pushed the opponent and swung the ball to the open space behind the goal. Van der Fate was already ready to continue the ball at the back point. Seeing the ball coming, he immediately took a kick and volleyed to the near corner before the ball landing.

"Crossing...Ferrying...Shot!!!!"

"Bang!"

"goal!!! The extremely exciting goal, whether it is Artuba's cross, Trosovsky's ferry at the front point, or Van der Fate's last shot, Hamburg's attack came quickly and made a quick start. Cheer, Hamburg players, for your wonderful team cooperation!!"

……………………

None of the fans who were following this game expected that Hamburg could score a goal like this. In Hamburg's quick counterattack, Stuttgart could defend well. Who would have thought that in the sports battle, Hamburg could actually score a goal with a simple cross, and Stuttgart's defense clearly showed huge loopholes.

Many people in the penalty area were defending Guerrero. Xu Feng went, especially Xu Feng, with two or three Stuttgart players standing beside him, like a guard, guarding Xu Feng firmly. And it was precisely the bizarre defense of Stuttgart players who made Van der Fate's back point plugging in, but no one defended him. 0 to 1, easy pushing and shooting, it was difficult for Hamburg to not score a goal.

Seeing Hamburg scored, Stuttgart players were angry and annoyed, and they were very regretful that they did not go to guard against Defate in time just now, but instead came to surround Xu Feng. If Stuttgart players knew that Xu Feng would not head the ball at all, it would be a constraining effect in corner kick tactics at most. I wonder if they would be so angry that they vomited blood and died.

……………………………………………………………………………

Van der Fate's goal helped Hamburg to take the lead for the time being, but after the game restarted, the situation of Hamburg seemed not optimistic. The midfield organization had become chaotic and was completely suppressed by the opponent's high-intensity pressing. No counterattack could be achieved except defense.

Why is this happening? The head coach Dore, who was standing on the sidelines, still knows it. His team has just taken the lead, and he is happy and not focused enough. In addition, Stuttgart was completely angered by Van der Fate's goal. In order to defend home honors and to win the game to the top of the standings, losing one goal is losing, and losing two goals is also losing. Defense cannot help the team equalize the score. Then why not have a strong offensive tactic? Maybe Stuttgart can still attack quickly.

With a strong attitude, Stuttgart, under the command of head coach Armin Fech, attacked the Hamburg goal with all his strength. He made a cross from the wing, cut in the wing, made a back, broke through in the middle, and passed straight...... The magical method, whether it is good or bad, useful or useless, it is all used.

Although Stuttgart's two high centers are very tall, they do not mean that they have bad feet. On the contrary, Streller and Gomez are both very good players, with the ball and breaking through from time to time.

It is precisely because of this that both of them are very adapted to the changing passes of their teammates behind them, and the threat to Hamburg's goal is getting bigger and bigger.

"Hitzelsberg broke through in the middle...beautiful two-pass and one-on-one cooperation...passed the ball...Straeler went to the side...shot...Damn it, it was almost a little bit of the score to equalize."

"Da Silva forced a breakthrough on the wing... Trosovsky failed to stop... Gomez stepped forward to respond... A wonderful turn, are you going to shoot?.............................. This long shot is really a pity, it was only a little bit off. From the slow-motion replay, it can be seen that this long shot is only ten centimeters higher than the crossbar of the goal. Alas, but the quality of this shot is not average."

"Excellent steal... Hizelsberg made Yarolim fall into a dog-eating shit... God, Pardo is really skilled and brave, just wasting such a good offensive opportunity, which is a pity."

……………………

For a moment, Hamburg's defense line was in danger and the gate was in panic. However, it seemed that head coach Dole was not worried. He was still sitting on the sidelines coach's seat and holding his chin to watch the game. Only assistant coach Danny kept shouting to the players: "Stop it, keep it for me!" Damn, those who don't know thought who was sieging the city.

…………………………………………………………………………

Suddenly, Stuttgart head coach Armin Fech stood up and took less than 10 minutes to make tactical adjustments. Armin Fech called the team's midfielder core Mexican international Pardo and murmured in his ear. Then Pardo nodded clearly and turned back to the field.

"What did Armin Fech say to Pardo just now? Is there any secret weapon in Stuttgart that has not been used?"

All the fans and commentators who noticed this were guessing in confusion.

Suddenly, everything that happened in the game made everyone suddenly realize. Damn, it turns out that's how it is!
