Football: King of Penalty Area
Ch. 98 - Hanau SV (3)

Players like Raynaldi are the hardest to spot, as their pragmatic and boring playing style makes fans less fond of them. Likewise the opposite, there are more "shows" players, and there are more short-lived players.

Simply put, a good dribbling technique is easy to remember, and easily dubbed as a genius child. Fans always prefer to watch imaginative shows, but players like this are also more prone to drowning and disappearing.

In the past few months, Raynaldi must have been among the first. Most of the technical moves are very simple. Even if he occasionally made outstanding work, he was basically a basic skill like shooting and stopping the ball. The visual impact is not as great as a stronger player in dribbling.

This time, the fans were very surprised and very surprised.

In fact, Raynaldi was also very surprised, the strength of the opponent in this game was indeed relatively weak, and he also observed his position before dribbling, but it was really surprising to take him all the way.

Could this show that his ability is already qualified enough to play at this level of competition?

Raynaldi recalled that when he came to Cologne, his technical ability was almost rendered useless when he first arrived at 2.Bundesliga. In front of more mature players in 2.Bundesliga, Raynaldi's ability is not worth mentioning, but he's getting better lately.

It also shows that Raynaldi is also making rapid progress.

After losing the ball, the smell of gunpowder was mostly lost, the main reason being Hanau SV devoting their energy to the internal division of the team.

When one person breaks the defense, everyone is responsible, but everyone is unwilling to admit that it is their own responsibility.

“Excellent, how do you do it!” Deschamp, who had just sparred with the other party, ran first.

Raynaldi patted his back. "Seriously, don't be offended by the other party, it's not good for us."

"Well, you're right." Deschamp.

The game starts again. This goal brought the score back to the same starting line. Coach Hanau SV changed his strategy. The goal just happened because the players were too aggressive and allowed Raynaldi to pass so many opponents by himself.

Although Raynaldi may have good talent, he knows that Hanau SV's defensive problems just now are mainly due to making the players more aggressive.

Raynaldi is very calm and has good skills, he is still considering his own way of playing when everyone else on the pitch is just following the way their coach plays. With this mentality, it will be easier to make mistakes on this field, it's just that Raynaldi is famous for being calm and rarely affected by things off the field.

Perhaps, this is why many German media call him “der Jager” which means “Sang Hunter”. Raynaldi had always been the quietest on the field, and as he began to launch attacks it was as if a hunter had ascertained his prey.

Many defenders who have fought Raynaldi have told the media about their feelings when playing against Raynaldi, and most of them will say that “I lost focus for a moment, then everything was messed up and Ray had already scored the goal”. It's like a wild animal that has been unknowingly targeted by a hunter.

Bastian Flitz also applauded. This time he actually saw how fast Raynaldi was progressing. He is not the type of striker with great personal ability, nor is he envious of this type of player, but of a player who can score extraordinary goals like this, he also sincerely admired.

The first half ended very quickly. Everyone is discussing goals during the break. The previous controversial penalty seemed less important.

Soon, the second half of the match began. Athletics decided to start. As soon as the ball came out, Raynaldi, Robert and Deschamp rushed to the opponent's penalty area. This is a standard 4-3-3 formation.

Robert was in the middle, Raynaldi and Deschamp were behind Robert on the left and right, and the ball was passed back to Lindbergh's feet and passed straight on.

Robert reluctantly stopped and failed to control the football. He was caught by defender Hanau SV. Raynaldi immediately countered the attack on the spot. This strong start of the game surprised Hanau SV.

Deschamp ran into the penalty area at full speed, he would be in an offside position one step later!

Raynaldi was already running to respond to Robert's ball. Initially, he wanted to snatch the second ball after Robert failed to control it well, but after Robert had the ball, he chose to come to his side.

The position to Robert's right has a larger empty space to utilize. And if he can break through with the ball at the moment, Raynaldi feels it is another opportunity.

So Raynaldi focused his attention on the ball, the position of everyone and the space he could use. At the moment everything on the pitch suddenly became clearer for Raynaldi, then he saw Deschamp who was almost offside running into the box.

This feeling was very strange, and Raynaldi could not tell whether what he saw was real or fake. But he has a subconscious feeling that he wants to pass the ball there.

With the movement of his feet, Raynaldi immediately threw the ball forward after getting the ball. In the eyes of others, Raynaldi barely moved. After Robert took the ball with great difficulty, Raynaldi was only considered flirting.

But the entire defensive line instantly collapsed!

Hanau SV players have started consciously making offside, but they are still a step slower. Offside is a double-edged sword. If done, they can complete threatening attacks and even cancel goals. If they don't do well, they will make the best chance for their opponents to score.

Deschamp faced the goalkeeper alone. The danger comes too soon. Goalkeeper Hanau SV didn't even have time to attack. With such a big goal chance, Deschamp's poor finishing ability will not miss this opportunity.

It is clear that he himself did not expect Raynaldi to pass the ball. The quality of his subconscious shots was not high. The ball was decent for the goalkeeper and slowly slid into the goal. If it is a little harder, the ball will bounce out.

2-1, the home team of Koln Athletics overtakes the score!

Deschamp ran into Raynaldi who had helped him celebrate goals together. This season, he scored a total of four goals, three of which were given to him by Raynaldi.

“Umpan is amazing. How did Ray see it? He can do everything!” Deschamp scored, but Andrei seemed to ignore this, and Raynaldi passing the ball earned full praise.

"His goal-scoring ability is enough to surprise people, but Ray still has a lot of incredible magic, God, I hope he's not on loan, let him play in the Athletics Cologne forever!"

The 2-1 scoreline lasted until the end of the game. After running out of stamina, Raynaldi was a little speechless as the game continued. Fortunately, Koln Athletics never let Hanau SV find a chance and keep the win.
