Chapter 256 Wishing
The opponents in Frankfurt's next few games are OK, first playing Stuttgart away, Hertha Berlin at home, then playing Nuremberg away, and back to Bochum. The first two strong teams and the next two weak teams. For Frankfurt, if he can win two wins in four games, he will pass.
But now that Li Yin is missing, it may not be the case.
Shuster tried two options during training. The first one was Zheng Zhi retreating and formed a double midfielder with Shure. Schneider was allowed to play in the front midfielder, and the right side was left to Brinkman, and the other positions remained unchanged.
Another option is to play 442. Li Weifeng entered the main lineup, Zheng Zhi and Shure are still in the middle, and Schneider and Grosso are separated.
Both formations have good results, the former has stronger attack power, while the latter has more balanced offense and defense.
However, the opponent is Stuttgart. Frankfurt lost the game when he played them at home in the first leg. Schuster still didn't know what formation he should use on Friday afternoon. In the past, he would have announced the next day's lineup early, but today was an exception.
Li Weifeng stood behind the team anxiously. He didn't care whether he could enter. He just wanted to enter the team's roster. He only asked to get to this point temporarily...
I have really fought hard these days and performed well in training. Although I still can't defend against Klose, this is not his own problem. Klose is actually not feeling well. Many training goals were scored from Binderward because of the staggered Li Weifeng.
He has been preparing for a full month and a half...
If Schuster can't be impressed, Li Weifeng really doesn't know what to do.
"Don't worry,"
"Your name will definitely be there."
"I have performed so well recently, it's not difficult to get on the roster, especially when the money is gone, Shuster needs players who have to play with their lives."
Zheng Zhi comforted him.
Li Weifeng was silent, feeling unsure. As long as he didn't read his name, he wouldn't be sure.
"Li Weifeng,"
But as soon as Shuster spoke, he pronounced Li Weifeng's name...!!!
Li Weifeng didn't even have time to continue to suffer.
It's actually the first one.
This should be intentional by Shuster. He wanted to give Li Weifeng a surprise, so he should also be very clear about Li Weifeng's thoughts.
When he heard his name, Kloze and Zheng Zhi both looked at Li Weifeng at the same time.
"Congratulations,"
"Congratulations,"
Li Weifeng's shoulders shook, and tears seemed to flash in his eyes.
Although he was prepared, when things really happened, he still couldn't help but feel excited and the muscles on his face were shaking violently.
For this day, he paid more sweat than others. He questioned countless times whether he really couldn't do it. If Zheng Zhi hadn't been encouraged by all the time, he might have been a little disappointed.
That night, domestic ccbv5 also reported that Li Weifeng was included in the competition roster.
Among the four Chinese players who played football in Frankfurt, Li Weifeng has not played official games for Frankfurt yet, and the Chinese people are still worried and looking forward to it. Even if Li Yin is injured, everyone doesn’t think it’s a big deal, so they hope that Li Weifeng can play the game as soon as possible.
"I finally gave Li Weifeng a chance."
"But the opponent is Stuttgart."
"I lost to them at home in the first half, and I feel unsure of playing against them away."
"Bo was not here at that time, and he would definitely be sure tomorrow. There is also Akboboli, which is not easy to guard. The former is too high and the latter is too fast, which is definitely a huge test for Li Weifeng to start. If he plays as a third defender, it will feel cold. If he is a fourth defender, it will be fine, at least he will have teammates to help. If Li Weifeng plays as a left guard, it should be OK, if he plays as a central defender..."
Chinese fans are analyzing that they seem to know the Bundesliga well.
"I guess Shuster won't let him go, it would be nice to play a substitute for the first time."
"Stuttgart wants to score points for the Champions League, and Shuster also wants to consolidate his advantages in the standings. This game is definitely exciting."
On Saturday morning, Zheng Zhi was also giving Li Weifeng a small meal, and explained the characteristics of the two forwards to him and gave him vaccinations in advance. In fact, Li Weifeng heard these things talk about at the tactical meeting, but Zheng Zhi reviewed them again and he listened carefully. I don’t know whether he can play, but he must be well prepared.
At 3 pm, the Frankfurt bus arrived outside the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and more than 500 Chinese fans were waiting for Zheng Zhi and the others here.
When the players started to get out of the car, Yang Chen and Zheng Zhi were called the most fiercely. If you don’t know, you thought that the Mercedes-Benz Stadium was Frankfurt’s home court.
The press conference in Frankfurt was obviously more lively than Stuttgart, because there were more than a dozen Chinese journalists alone, and there were only about ten journalists in Stuttgart.
"Bornde, can Li Weifeng?"
Zhang Li of ccbv5 asked straight to the point.
"Lee, he's on the bench."
Shuster didn't hesitate and told Zhang Li directly the answer, but he didn't disappoint, "But he will get a certain playing time."
“It’s going to be a great game.”
"He should be ready for this game."
"What formation will the team play?"
"Do you play as a three-back or a four-back?"
"We will play four defenders. Stuttgart's attack power is too strong. They are a team of another level, and we must defend well." Schuster finally made a decision. Although Elber has transferred to Bayern Munich, the other two guys in the Stuttgart troika, Barakov and Bo are still very strong. Last time I hit them, Barakov was not even Barakov, and only one of them, Barakov played Frankfurt.
This time, Shuster dared not be careless, although Emmantrout was the leader at that time, not him...
Four defenders, Schuster pursued a more balanced 442. I originally thought Brinkman had no chance, but after announcing the roster for this game, Schuster still made a surprise adjustment to the lineup.
Goalkeeper: Nikolov
Defenders: Binderward, Couchera, Pederson, Grosso
Midfielder: Schneider, Zheng Zhi, Shure, Brinkman
Forward: Yang Chen, Kloze
Yes, Grosso appeared in the left back position for the first time in Frankfurt, while Brinkman appeared in the left front position.
"How can I say this lineup?"
"I feel that Brinkman's position is a bit overwhelming. He was originally a right forward, and was used as a left forward. The defense is also very average. I guess the reason for doing this is to let the tall Grosso assist in defense at the back?"
Chapter completed!
