Football: King of Penalty Area
Ch. 36 - DJK Wurzburg (2)

Raynaldi actually felt a little uncomfortable at first, but this cheering sound could easily make Raynaldi enter a state.

This feeling was like a general preparing to go to war, with countless soldiers behind him. It makes Raynaldi seem to realize he is not alone and loses his nervousness.

This will become the norm in the future. In this game, there are many opportunities to fight.

DJK Wurzburg advocated offense, but their defense was not good, and the defensive Athletic Koln could easily stop the attack and set up a counter-attack.

This makes Koln Athletics play very comfortably.

Raynaldi also felt good, just ten minutes later, DJK Wurzburg made a mistake in the coordination of his attack, and Koln Athletics quickly set up a counterattack.

Defending midfielder Koln Athletic Van Buren is the player with the strongest passing ability among the midfielders. He usually arranges attacks on the backcourt. If there was a chance, he would also send a straight forward or long pass.

The Wurzburg formation was very high, which was used for them, but they were always exhausted while defending.

Van Buren got a right-hand gap in the Wurzburg backcourt, and in that gap, Raynakdi showed up.

“This child can always get a good position.” Van Buren remembers how he felt when he partnered with Raynaldi in training. He took off a long pass and used his arch to pass a breakthrough pass. The ball almost crosses the entire midfield. The Wurzburg players also failed to back down in time.

“This is a good opportunity to attack.” Thought Raynaldi.

But the ball bounces a bit when it rolls over, Raynaldi is hard to control, so he only tries a little when he touches the ball and swipes the ball forward.

Due to his previous pass, Raynaldi's foot touch made a forward bounce. The Wurzburg defence is very empty and there is enough room to accelerate.

Raynaldi's pace is quite fast compared to players in Germany's second league. Two Wurzburg defenders rushed past him. They form three lines. Raynaldi is on the side and two defenders are in the middle. One of them was heading towards Raynaldi. This side was close, but its speed was obviously slower than Raynaldi's. So when he approached Raynaldi, he was already half-positioned behind.

Defender Wurzburg opted to risk a foul and steal the ball forcibly.

Raynaldi was ready to attack each other. When the two were contacted, Raynaldi used the momentum formed by the running steps he had taken earlier.

The Wurzburg defender who saw Raynaldi speeding up also kept running to force a physical confrotation with him.

Two people collided a little. After a slight stagger, Raynaldi continued to dribble forward, and the Wurzburg defender fell to the ground after losing balance.

After overturning the defender, Raynaldi faced the Wurzburg goalkeeper alone. He chose a low shot. The goalkeeper tries his best to open his hands to expand the defensive area, but

cannot prevent the ball from passing between his legs and drilling into the goal.

Sobek and Danny opened their mouths Of course they were happy to score, but they were also confused.

In training, Raynaldi's weakness was actually very obvious. Physical confrontation will not work.

So when designing tactics, Sobek changed the tactics of the team. When Robert was in the past, two wing passes were a very important means of scoring. Bait under the Spartan team is not uncommon.

After all, the previous style of play is used to it, and it will be difficult to change it in a week or two, this is seen from Van Buren's pass just now.

He is good at sending the ball to both sides on the backcourt. Not very good in the long pass. Luckily, Raynaldi got it.

Then, Raynaldi drove straight, which was in line with Sobek's tactical requirements.

Even if the goal was not scored, Sobek would praise the team for this beautiful counter-attack, but the next thing he did not expect.

Raynaldi flipped the opponent's defense in a physical confrontation. Although this result also depended on the momentum of the run and hit he deliberately made, but the result was still remarkable in the eyes of Sobek and Danny.

And the opponent is a centre-back. Even if the Wurzburg defender is a bit worse and has a small body, his physical fitness is still there, and you can see it just by looking at his posture.

But there are not many reasons on the football field. Ball printed. The referee thought that there was no problem with the confrontation between the two. The scale of referee penalties in this match is relatively loose.

Athletics who play at home easily lead, currently the time on the scoreboard has only reached 11 minutes.

This season, the fans of Koln Athletics are unaware of this feeling, after scoring goals, the emotions of the fans who had been long held back finally broke.

"He has scored again! This is his fourth goal! Ray's boy almost tied half the goals from half a season of Koln Athletics!" Andrei roared excitedly, the fans in front of the radio. Only then did it reflect that this was his fifteenth goal in the league, and Raynaldi almost took a third of it in two games.

Fans chanted Raynaldi's name. Part name ‘naldi’ is a bit difficult for them to pronounce. They were always pronounced as ‘nadi’, so they simply called out the nickname Andrei had given him, Ray.

Raynaldi ran to the sidelines to thank the fans. The teammates behind him ran to celebrate goals one by one, rubbing Raynaldi's hairstyle into the bird's nest.

“All specially arranged haircuts to welcome the first home game in the morning are ruined.” thought Raynaldi was depressed.

Athletics colognes that break the deadlock are also not conservative. They score very few goals, but that doesn't mean that teams don't like to attack. In any country attack is an exciting part of football.

The scene after the goal was very open, DJK Wurzburg still did not give up attacking, and Koln Athletics had plenty of chances to counter-attack.

But it also has its flaws.

Counter-attacks, meaning players will run and run a lot. In his previous match with Dynamo Aue, Raynaldi had not had many chances, and the ball was not much passed to him in the first half. Moreover, the defense of Dynamo Aue is very good. There was hardly a chance to run.

And this game is different, the Wurzburg defense has exposed too many chances, has many chances to counter-attack, and runs with higher intensity.

This match turned into a test for Raynaldi, his stamina endurance test.

The result was less than the first half. Raynaldi, who completed several high-intensity sprints, experienced a severe decline in physical fitness. On the sidelines, Sobek also saw this. "The biggest disadvantage of this brat is endurance."

On the field, Buhari sent the ball a breakthrough. The odds were good, but Raynaldi's speed slowed down significantly. The defenders rushed to clear the ball in front of Raynaldi and missed the chance.

“Need to change how to play.” Thought Raynaldi.
