Piao Tianwen     January 31, 2009, for the veteran Kobe Yashvili in Schalke 04, it was a day that could be loaded into his football career. Even a few years later, it was worth remembering this Georgian veteran, proud, and sharing it with his grandson and granddaughter.

In the 18th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 went to the awd Athletic Stadium to compete in Hannover's 96 pairs. This game has a different meaning for Kobe Yashvili, who was born in 1977. After participating in the last German Cup, this game also became the 200th game for Kobe Yashvili to represent Schalke 04.[]

Because the opponent's strength is indeed not strong, after Qin Tian's repeated requests, Sloka was also considering training Rakitic, Englar and other players as spare tires after Qin Tian left in the future. Therefore, when confirming the final starting list, Kobe Yashvili was placed in the midfield. At the same time, Kulanyi's partner veteran Saha was also arranged on the forward line.

It can be said that this is a competition performed by veterans.

Of course, Qin Tian, ​​who is full of kindness and admiration for the veterans, and Sloka, who wants to reward the veterans who have made great contributions to the team, doesn’t know that this game has almost made the veterans fail to perform on their own. There is a saying that people cannot accept old age. Competitive sports are not easy for veterans in their 30s. Maybe they have rich experience, but they have the will but lack the ability to tell you very practically that if you don’t have enough physical support, everything is empty talk.

At the beginning of the game between the two sides, Kobe Yashvili's performance was average, without any outstanding side, but he did not make any mistakes. However, as Hannover 96 players gradually found the feeling of home court, and it may also be that the long vacation made Schalke 04 players need to regain their sense of the game, so the offensive initiative gradually took the hands of the home team.

This made Sloka off the court a little depressed. Although he felt that the midfield rotation combination of Rakitic, Kobeashvili and Englar would require some adjustment when arranging the starting list, he did not expect that there was no tacit understanding between the three. And Saha on the forward line ran around like a headless fly, frequently hitting the opponent's offside trap.

This situation made Sloka very nervous. Looking at the group of young faces sitting on the bench, especially Qin Tian, ​​who looked calm, "Do you stop playing games after leaving Qin Tian? No, you must adapt to the days without Qin Tian?" Sloka secretly encouraged himself.

The game had just been held for 15 minutes, and Kobeyashvili realized that today's game was a bit difficult. Just a minute ago, the Hanover player who probably had no hair on the other side actually forced himself to score with a ball in front of him. Could it be that he was really old enough to let others bully him?

Kobe Yashvili also knew that he did not have the weapon of speed now, but it is absolutely impossible to deny his experience and consciousness. Soon, Kobe Yashvili successfully cut off the opponent's pass in a defense and passed it across to Marin on the left. The latter's sharp breakthrough on the left won Schalke 04 a free kick in the frontcourt.

Although the free kick was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, Kobe Yashvili used his outstanding experience to find the ball accurately in the corner kick of Schalke 04 and rushed to the goal before the opponent's defender destroyed it. Although the angle was too straight and was confiscated by the goalkeeper, these two fights still made Kobe Yashvili shine twice in a difficult manner.

However, Kobe Yashvili, who could feel his violent heartbeat and had difficulty breathing, still had a faint sadness on his face, "I am really old." So in the next few days, Kobe Yashvili could only use the foul to block the opponent's counterattack in the midfield.

In the 31st minute of the first half, Kobe Yashvili received a yellow card, and two minutes later he made another foul. Although his movements were not fierce this time, it still caused strong dissatisfaction among the Hannover 96 players. From the fact that they kept asking for explanations around the referee, it can be seen that their mood is now. Fortunately, the referee was not ruthless, but Sloane off the court was a little restless, and when one person was missing, every coach didn't want to see the scene.

But before Sloka could think about how to deal with Kobe Yashvili in the second half, a scene appeared on the scene that no one wanted to see. After Kobe Yashvili fouled just now, Hannover 96 got a free kick in the frontcourt. The opponent's player sent the ball, and I don't know if it was a flaw or it was a shot directly. In short, in the eyes of everyone in the outside world, a free kick that should have been passed to the back point flew strangely towards Schalke 04's goal.

Fortunately, Neuer's level was not enough. When he found that the situation was wrong, he immediately moved quickly on the goal line, adjusted the center of gravity, and threw the ball out with one palm, but perhaps Nine Astronomy.

Own goal!

Kobe Yashvili scored an own goal in his 200th club game!

An unspeakable and indescribable emotion instantly occupied Kobeashvili's entire face, putting his hands on his hips, looking at the ball in the goal, embarrassment, sadness or regret, no one knew.

Hannover 96 players who unexpectedly scored a goal are getting braver and braver, and they can even be said to be a little crazy. Schalkes can understand this. From another perspective, if they face the league champion, the Champions League champion, and the winter break champion of this season, they will lead with one goal and play even more crazy than them.

1:0, Schalke 04 unexpectedly fell behind away.

In the locker room, there was also a little unpleasantness between Slonka and Qin Tian. Slonka wanted to replace Kobe Yashvili with Qin Tian before the start of the second half. After all, the training team is the training team, but capsizing on the weak team is also something that Slonka cannot accept. From this point of view, Slonka's approach is correct, and there is no doubt.

But Qin Tian refused to replace him. He felt that it would be too cruel to replace Kobe Yashvili. He should give the veterans a chance to prove themselves again. This is a kind of respect for the veterans.

Looking at the determination in Qin Tian's eyes, Sloka felt that he understood a little why this big boy always had a kind of impressing temperament, that is, demeanor, a grand demeanor, and a natural leader style. "It is my luck and pride to be able to spend two seasons with such a player." Sloka agreed to Qin Tian's request, but he could only give Kobe Yashvili 25 minutes, after all, this is a game!

Perhaps it was the scene in the midfield that touched Kobe Yashvili, Saha and other veterans. After the second half of the game began, the big guys who made people feel old in the first half began to show their own characteristics and have a new look.

Sakhana's very sharp roaming and interspers in the frontcourt made Hannover's 96's defense line a mess. Kobe Yashvili also suppressed his impetuous heart and focused his attention on the game. Although the team fell behind by one goal, every player in Schalke's 04 game was doing his best.

Kulanyi, who had not received strong support from the midfield before, finally performed at this time. With Rakitic's imaginative pass through the crotch, he gave it to Marin on the wing. Marin made a fast and accurate cross with his left foot. He was originally confident in his defensive ability in the first half and made a fatal mistake.

Handball in the penalty area! Perhaps Hanover 96 players will defend against the referee. This is simply an unconscious action, but handball is handball. No matter how hesitates, it is impossible for the referee to change his penalty in full view of everyone.

Penalty!

Saha put the penalty kick, took a deep breath, and then chose the blind spot above the left side of the goal without hesitation.

However, when Hannover 96 goalkeeper judged the direction of the penalty, he completely chose the right direction and saved the ball to a real loss. No matter how upset Saha was or how excited the Hannover players were, the penalty he saved was received by Hannover players and quickly launched a counterattack.

The right winger of Hannover 96 took the ball and headed towards the side. The speed was not particularly fast. Not far from him, an indomitable blue figure caught him tightly. It was Kobeschvili. "He definitely can't catch up with him." It can be imagined that the Hannover players felt so in their hearts at that time, and the emotional Hannover fans in the stands also thought so. The penalty kick was saved by the goalkeeper and then their team counterattacked. What a wonderful thing.

Everyone was running towards Schalke 04's half, but no one expected that Kobe Yashvili would squeeze the wing player out of the sideline with just a simple collision. All Hannover 96 fans were stunned. It felt like when you were **, you suddenly discovered that yy's object was actually changing from Megan Fox to Fengjie.

The referee did not blew his whistle, and for such reasonable physical contact, no referee would be so stupid as to stop the game. When Hannover players were still immersed in objecting to the referee's penalty, the veteran's experience completely blossomed at this moment.

Seeing that the referee did not punish him for a foul, Kobeschvili immediately turned around and ran towards Hanover's goal. After running a few steps, he looked up and observed the position of his teammates in front of him, and easily passed a long pass, and found Saha who was upset that he did not score the penalty kick and did not follow the steps of the troops back to defend in time.

Happiness came so suddenly. Saha was stunned for only a second, stopped the ball immediately, turned around, and glanced at him. A Hanover 96 player stranded in the left front, angrily shot. He did not miss the opportunity this time. The ball roared straight above the goal, 1:1.
Chapter completed!
