Chapter 12 Crack

"Excellent! A superb performance in the first half!"

Hoffman is very satisfied with the team's performance. If they continue on this momentum, he will definitely catch the eye of the management by the end of the season.

Thinking of this, he didn't hold back his praise and gave a final word of advice.

"Control the pace, stay calm, and especially conserve some energy."

"Don't worry, boss!" said Kopac, the team's playmaker, with complete confidence. "I'll control the pace of the ball distribution."

"OK, it's up to you now." Hoffman finally felt relieved.

The second half began with Bielefeld U19 kicking off.

Bielefeld U19 still used a 4-4-2 formation, but suddenly sped up the pace, determined to seize the initiative from the start.

Dortmund U19 played with great momentum in the first half, taking a two-goal lead and refusing to back down.

For a moment, the midfield turned into a meat grinder, with possession changing hands wildly, only to be frequently ended by long-range shots.

More running, fewer great opportunities.

In this situation, both sides quickly deplete their physical strength.

In the 65th minute of the match, Bielefeld U19 made their first substitution.

Defensive midfielder: Yazar → Severg

Forwards: Flock → Doan

This substitution was a simple positional change.

Severnger's technique was rough, but his running ability was excellent, making him a competent engineer.

Dogan is a pressing striker; he was brought on to be a disruptive force in Dortmund's backfield.

The purpose of bringing on these two players is to wear down Dortmund U19's backline!

Upon seeing the formation of Bielefeld U19, the team's core player, Kopac, immediately roared.

"Don't pass the ball around in your own half; it's easy to make a mistake."

"We have to fight back!"

Defensive midfielder Yirma thought the same way. If Bielefeld U19 seized control of the middle, he and Kopac would have to drop back frequently, wasting even more energy.

When talking about this kind of back-and-forth attack, how can we forget Yuan Meng?

Kopac's eyes were fixed on Yuan Meng; as soon as he made a run into space, the ball would be there in the next second.

Yuan Meng understood that he was being tasked with tackling the toughest challenge!

no problem!

He wreaked havoc on the right flank, frequently attempting to break through with his outstanding physical attributes.

As a result, they will definitely concede a lot of goals.

It's okay, Yuan Meng took back the ball she lost herself!

Attack and defense integrated!

Hoffmann, standing on the sidelines, unconsciously frowned.

What happened to controlling the pace?

Captiva is treating Yuan Meng like a donkey!

Will I still have the energy after 70 minutes?

"Copacabana, the balanced attacker on both sides!"

"Is this how you control the rhythm?"

"Brut's going to catch a cold! Let's go left!"

Kopac seemed not to hear, and he also wanted to go down the left flank, but Bielefeld U19's formation was very targeted, leaving almost no space for midfield to play ball movement.

The only option was for Yuan Meng to make long passes and transfers.

But Yuan Meng didn't seem to understand his meaning and focused on breaking through.

Left-back Petsmayer, who was matched up against Yuan Meng, was much calmer than in the first half; their coach had already figured out a way to counter Yuan Meng's spin.

As soon as Yuan Meng uses that move, it will be the time to counterattack!

Petzmayer took his position and waited quietly for the right moment.

In the 70th minute of the match, Bielefeld U19, through tenacious tackling, greatly exhausted Dortmund U19's stamina.

Hoffman was forced to make a substitution, with Kopac being replaced by Mangala.

Mangala walked over to Yuan Meng and relayed the head coach's instructions.

"Yuan, the coach wants you to calm down and conserve some energy."

"I'll be pushing down the middle lane later, just follow me."

Yuan Meng adjusted her breathing and nodded.

After Mangala took possession of the ball in the middle, Dortmund U19's pace slowed down.

"OK, very good!"

"Yuan, you don't need to stand too close to the front."

"Brut, come closer, don't pull too far apart."

Mangala gave frequent instructions, controlling the rhythm of the game.

He wasn't the kind of genius who could deliver a brilliant pass; he was just a striker with some ability to advance the ball.

However, he has an excellent overall perspective, and the team won't be too chaotic as long as he's on the field.

Dortmund U19 should slow down; the team that falls behind will not give up easily.

Mangala observed calmly for a while and saw that Bielefeld U19 was a bit anxious. He seized the opportunity to receive the ball with his back to the goal, suddenly turned halfway to avoid the defender who was pressing him, and quickly advanced forward.

This is the call to attack.

Yuan Meng didn't hesitate and quickly inserted the needle into the right side of the body.

"Yuan!" Mangala quickly passed the ball to the right wing.

Yuan Meng passed the ball to the wing with one foot.

The right-back, Scudri, who was following up, played a one-two with Yuan Meng, allowing Yuan Meng to shake off the covering defensive midfielder and face the full-back, Petsmaier.

it's time!

Yuan Meng dribbled the ball at low speed, probing the opponent.

Petzmaier stood his ground, unmoved.

Not eating it?

Yuan Meng used the Anthony spin, forcing Petzmaier to intercept.

Still not moving, huh!

Yuan Meng suddenly flicked the ball out, her first step was incredibly fast.

However, just as Yuan Meng's body rushed out, Petzmaier blocked the baseline, forcing Yuan Meng to cut inside.

Hmph, just what I wanted.

Yuan Meng flicked the ball with her right foot and sprinted to the left.

boom!

In that instant, Yuan Meng felt as if she had crashed into a rigid wall, and her feet stumbled.

The ball was ruthlessly intercepted by the center-back Dickmann who was covering the play.

This was the idea of the Bielefeld U19 coach – to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

When facing Anthony's maneuvering, the more you try to steal the ball, the more likely you are to make a mistake.

Instead of focusing on the fundamentals of football, block both lanes and wait for the ball carrier to stop before stealing it from their blind spot.

A right winger's breakthroughs essentially boil down to two routes: cutting inside from the left or going down the right flank.

No matter how fancy your dribbling skills are, they can't escape these basic principles.

Yuan Meng's maneuvering, at first glance, seemed like a publicity stunt, but in reality, it was a psychological tactic.

As long as the defender doesn't rush in to intercept, then maneuvering is just a waste of their time.

As for passing during a turn, as long as the defender is focused and blocks all routes, the only option is to pass back.

Tuchel, standing in the stands, said the same thing and even offered a definitive conclusion.

"This little trick won't be of any use against Bundesliga teams in the first team."

Ricken laughed and said, "Young players always have their own ideas. Once they are exposed to a higher level of football, they will naturally give up these little tricks."

Tuchel nodded and continued watching the game.

This sudden interception gave Bielefeld U19 a chance to counter-attack.

They advanced quickly, sending a long pass into the attack zone.

The two strikers tried their best to compress the defensive line. Just as Dickmann in midfield was about to make a through pass, he was tackled by Irma!

"Good defense!"

The referee did not blow the whistle. Irma's shin first swept the ball, then tripped Dickmann.

The football got out of control, and a group of people scrambled for it.

Yuan Meng, his eyes bloodshot, charged back from the edge of the opponent's penalty area and slid the ball to the feet of center-back Piper.

"pretty!"

Piper made a long pass to Brutter on the left wing.

The roles of offense and defense have been reversed again!

Ignoring the mud covering her body, Yuan Meng got up from the grass and charged into the opponent's penalty area again.

Hoffman was dumbfounded.

"You're so tireless!"

"That's incredible stamina!"

"Could it be that you drank protein powder like baby formula when you were a child?"
