163: The reason why Kaiserslautern is great
March 29, 2010, 7:15 pm, Kaiserslautern home field at Fritz Walter Arena.
What will be held here today is the 28th round of the 2009-2010 Bundesliga season when Kaiserslautern hosts Munich 1860.
This can be said to be the battle of Tianwangshan in the Bundesliga League this season.
The home team Kaiserslautern currently has 58 points, ranking second in the Bundesliga standings.
The visiting team 1860 Munich has 62 points and ranks first in the Bundesliga!
This is naturally the highest level game in the Bundesliga this season.
Kaiserslautern must be aiming for victory, but they don't want to give up the Bundesliga Championship trophy this season. Of course, the same is true for Munich 1860, and they even hope that the new team will lock in a spot to upgrade to the Bundesliga as soon as possible.
They are currently 9 points ahead of third-placed Augsburg and 10 points ahead of fourth-placed St. Pauli. With seven rounds left in the league, they are very likely to lock in the top two with three games in advance and get a spot to upgrade to the Bundesliga.
Therefore, this game is naturally crucial.
Munich 1860 needs to go all out here.
In this game, both sides sent out the entire main lineup of the current team. They didn't hold anything back, they just fought to the end! The starting lineups for both sides are as follows
Home team Kaiserslautern, head coach Marco Kurtz, formation 442
Goalkeeper Tobias Hipper
Back four from left to right Alexander Bragg, Rodney, Martin Amedik and Florian Dick
Midfield four from left to right Sidney Sam, George Manderjack, George Bilek and Markus Steinhofer
Forwards Adam Nemec and Erik Jendricek
Visiting team Munich 1860, head coach Tong Yi, formation 442
De Gea
Back four from left to right Alaba, Campbell, Senderos and Rukavina
Midfield four from left to right: Griezmann, Gilberto, Matic and De Bruyne
Double forward Costa and Vardy
It can be seen that the rankings and formations of both sides are somewhat similar.
The two of them chose a combination of one high and one fast on the front line. Of course, Kaiserslautern's risk combination has a better reputation than Munich 1860's risk combination. Kaiserslautern's striker combination is the striker combination of the Czechoslovakia national team.
In addition to the Czechoslovakia national team midfielder Bilek in the midfield, Kaiserslautern transplanted the Czechoslovakia national team's frontcourt attacking trident.
No wonder they can perform so well this season, their team is very strong.
As soon as the game started, Kaiserslautern took advantage of the home court and began to charge towards Munich 1860's defense.
Not to mention, Kaiserslautern plays very methodically. Bilek in the midfield is worthy of being the core of the attack, and his ability to organize offense is very good.
.
With a bang, the football at Bilek's feet was cut off by Gilberto.
"Oops, Bilek was a little stuck on the ball. Jendrysek in front had already moved forward and had a chance. Unfortunately, the ball was not passed!" Fred was very regretful.
Bilek saw Jendrysek's advance.
In fact, Bilek was waiting for Jendrisek to penetrate forward. He had already seen this opening. He and Jendrysek had a very tacit understanding. He knew that Jendrysek would definitely run into this space, so he controlled the ball and waited.
Sure enough, Jendrysek saw this opening and rushed forward quickly.
Just when Bilek was about to pass the ball, Gilberto took the lead and poked the football out.
Munich's defense of 1860 people was really amazing, and they even saw this gap.
Bilek was very sorry. If he hadn't waited, the ball would have passed.
If he hadn't waited, Jendrysek wouldn't have been there.
such a pity!
A good opportunity was missed!
"The Kaiserslautern offense is very unique. Their midfield and front three are very strong and have a good understanding of each other. If they continue to play like this, they will definitely get a chance to score! "Klinsmann also praised the Kaiserslautern people.
Kurtz also felt very sorry to see this on the sidelines.
What a great combination!
Nemec had already opened up space for Jendrisek, but unfortunately the pass was a little slow.
However, he was in no hurry.
If they continue to play like this, their team will have a chance. They will definitely be able to defeat Munich 1860. If they win this game, they will be stronger than Munich 1860.
But at this time, Munich 1860 had launched a rapid counterattack.
"Kaiserslautern is in danger. Cameroon international Mandjek was half a beat slow and failed to intercept Matic's long pass. Danger!" Fred suddenly roared.
The reason why Munich 1860 scored so many goals this season is because they switched between offense and defense very quickly, so fast that their opponents could not react, and then they completed the shot.
It's the same this time!
After stealing the ball, Munich 1860 switched offense and defense very quickly.
The poked football came to Matic's feet. Matic didn't even look up. He just relied on the feeling of playing with his teammates throughout the season and directly passed the ball diagonally. Passed to the left.
Because, Matic and the others had already discovered that Kaiserslautern faced
Luther Browne's defense on their right was very tight. Therefore, at the first moment of the counterattack, they passed the football directly to Griezmann.
At the same time, Matic also gave a suitable amount of advance, allowing Griezmann to easily catch the ball and initiate the attack without slowing down.
After the football flew out, Matic looked up.
Sure enough, Griezmann appeared where he imagined, rushing forward quickly.
What is tacit understanding?
This is a tacit understanding!
Griezmann rushed past Dick like a gust of wind, caught up with the football, and entered Kaiserslautern's penalty area.
"It's dangerous, Kaiserslautern is in danger!" Klinsmann also shouted immediately.
Kurtz on the sidelines jumped up, rushed to the sidelines, and roared loudly at the defensive players on the court, "Defend, defend! Go up and intercept!"
Amedik watched Griezmann drive into the penalty area, and he immediately stepped forward to intercept.
Griezmann immediately moved his legs and made a fake pass to the center.
Costa, who was following up at high speed in the middle, suddenly stopped and took a step back, standing a little behind the penalty spot, instantly widening the distance from the defender in the middle. There are no defensive players within a one-and-a-half-meter radius around Costa, and he is in a vacuum.
It's dangerous!
Kaiserslautern fans were horrified.
At this time, Kaiserslautern's center back also immediately stopped, rushed towards Costa, and went up to defend Costa.
At this time, Griezmann flicked his ankle, dunked forward, passed the center back Amedik who made an emergency stop, faced Kaiserslautern goalkeeper Hipper, and went to the meeting alone.
"With a beautiful fake pass and a dunk, Griezmann instantly destroyed Kaiserslautern's entire defense, a beautiful personal breakthrough. Griezmann's football intelligence is perfect, opportunity!" Klinsmann was very excited. .
At the same time, he gave Tong Yi a thumbs up in his heart.
It seems that this guy Tong Yi has thoroughly studied Kaiserslautern's tactics. You can tell from the straight forward defense that Gilberto's sudden attack was not a surprise.
Awesome, this young man Tong Yi is awesome!
With a bang, Griezmann hit the football with a heavy kick.
The football flew quickly towards the lower corner of Kaiserslautern's goal. Hipper fell to the ground like lightning and jumped sideways, hitting the football with one palm. The football changed direction instantly, then hit the inside of the goal post hard and bounced into the goal.
One to zero, Munich 1860 took the lead in the away game.
Hipper's reaction to this ball was already very fast. He was only 180cm tall and he got off the ground very fast, which was beyond ordinary people. He also encountered the football, but unfortunately Griezmann's shot was too powerful and he still could not stop the football from flying into the goal.
Kaiserslautern fans can't take it!
They were in a very bad mood, and it was clearly a good opportunity for them just now. Why did the opponent score a goal right now? This is impossible!
Kaiserslautern fans were in a very bad mood.
Of course, Kurtz was in a worse mood!
There is actually no problem with their offense, they should score goals. How did this happen? He felt very uncomfortable and immediately came to the sidelines and signaled Kaiserslautern's players not to think about the ball and continue attacking. Kaiserslautern had a chance.
Tong Yi was very calm and signaled the Munich 1860 players to continue to defend, continue to press high, and wait for opportunities!
Not to mention, Kaiserslautern's offense really has two tools.
After passing the ball continuously, everyone thought that Bilek would pass the football straight to the forward Jendrysek. Unexpectedly, he suddenly moved the football to the wing. Sam, who was on the wing, was very fast and thrust the football forward first. A man passed the ball past Rukavina.
Dribbling the ball at high speed on the Yanbian Road, he spotted Senderos, who had saved to intercept. He immediately gave up the idea of continuing to break through, directly picked up the ball from the wing and passed the ball, directly looking for Nemec in the penalty area.
Sam passed the ball very accurately, and the football flew directly to the top of Nemec's head.
Nemec used his body to hold Campbell behind him, and headed towards the goal.
The football missed the post slightly and flew out of the baseline.
Kurtz was so disappointed that he even jumped on the sidelines. What a great opportunity. This goal was not scored. My luck today is really bad.
Kaiserslautern fans thought the same way and felt they were very unlucky.
Even Fred and Klinsmann think so.
Only Nemec knew that he deflected the ball due to pressure from Campbell. If it were other central defenders, he would have been crushed by him long ago. This goal would undoubtedly be scored.
Unfortunately, behind him is Campbell.
When he shook his head to meet the ball, the strong Campbell interfered with him from behind, which caused him to deflect the football.
Nemec felt very sorry. He put his head in his hands and his face was filled with regret.
"Yes, yes, if we continue to play like this, we will have plenty of opportunities. We will definitely win this game, come on, come on!" Kurtz applauded on the sidelines to cheer for his players and boost their morale.
But Tong Yi still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and gave Campbell a thumbs up, indicating that he was on good defense.
However, he still reminded Rukavina and said, "Don't pounce so hard. That Sam is very fast. Don't give him a chance to get away. Do you understand?"
The sweaty Rukavina nodded firmly, indicating that he understood.
Tong Yi patted Rukavina's butt and signaled him to go back to the game.
The game continues!
