Chapter 198 Round 34
Since losing the so-called face in a direct conversation with Qin Tian last time, Graffitt was depressed for a while, and even his competitive state had declined. However, the Brazilian player recovered very quickly. After the league came to an end, Graffitt found his goal feeling back.
Before the start of the last round of the Bundesliga, Grafitt ranked second in the Bundesliga scorer list with 26 goals, and of course Qin Tian’s 27 were ahead of him.[]
In the last game, the reporters were no longer concerned about who the champion was, but who was the shooter king? Can Schalke 04 succeed in an unbeaten game this season?
For the subsequent questions, they can be revealed in 90 minutes, and reporters cannot dig out any news points from them. However, for the previous questions, they can still do some articles.
Before the game started, the reporters first found Grafitt, which was not a low-key character. So when the reporters deliberately talked about the last time he lost to the other party to the last time he fought with Qin Tian, Grafitt was indeed the same as expected before, and he couldn't stop talking.
"Shooter King? Who else can it be besides me?" Grafittt obviously had a very discomfort about the reporter's confusion on this issue. "Yes, Qin leads me by one ball, but so what. The game has not been over yet, and I have 90 minutes to catch up and overtake him."
"But Qin also has 90 minutes to expand his advantage."
"Is that so? But first of all, they have to solve the problem of Hoffenheim, who is a tough guy. Maybe Randall will make Qin lost on the court. What season is unbeaten? What victory? That's all nonsense. Maybe Schalke lost at home in 04 in this game, God knows." Grafitt looked gloating.
Of course he had reason to be happy, because Wolfsburg's opponent was determined to be relegated to Bielefeld, while Hoffenheim fought to the end in order to be able to participate in European competitions, so Schalke 04's game faced great challenges.
"The last game?" Qin Tian frowned and was a little unanimous about the statement proposed by the reporter. "This statement is not appropriate. You must know that on the 31st, I still have the final of the German Cup, so this is not my last game."
"This game has a different meaning to me. It is a home court. Although it does not mean anything to decide the title. But everyone knows that our goal is not just to complete a game. After all, we have not lost this season, and we hope to get a perfect end."
“You mean the goal of this game is to win?”
"You are trying to get my words? But it doesn't matter, all we want is victory!"
A reporter reposted the interview with Grafitte to Qin Tian, obviously wanting to see how Qin Tian fought back. But let them down, Qin Tian still smiled faintly, "Well, Grafitte and his team have done a great job this season. Thank you for your reminder. We will definitely be careful in this game."
"Then how many goals are you going to score tonight?"
"Will it be a hat trick?"
"Yes, just like last time."
"Haha, if it was on the training ground, I would tell you that I could enter countless people, but this is a game, and everything on the court can happen. Prediction is meaningless, okay, that's it. Some of you will write after the game." Qin Tian waved his hand with a smile and ended the interview decisively.
On May 23, 2009, the 34th round of the Bundesliga, the weather was very loud. Today's Aoyu Stadium was particularly lively. Schalke 04 fans from all directions appeared outside the stadium in costumes like a festival. Every league and every match day is a festival for fans.
It was a while before the game began, but the stands were already full. Here was a blue ocean, with all kinds of team flags, banners, billboards hanging around the stands. Fans shouted slogans and sang team songs, holding various containers of beverages and beer in their hands.
The atmosphere was rendered very warm!
In the home team's locker room, Sloka seemed particularly relaxed. He first announced the starting list of this game calmly, and then briefly explained the tactical arrangements for this game. Seeing that the time is still there, in addition to reminding everyone not to be injured, the players will arrange the remaining time themselves.
Qin Tian and Rakitic sat together, gently hugging his shoulders, "It will be up to you from now on."
"Has it been confirmed?" Rakitic said with a little regret.
"Yes, I hope you don't be too ruthless when we meet next time," Qin Tian laughed.
"Tsk, this sentence should be what I said to you."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the two fists collided. Qin Tian then stood up and patted his hands, "Okay, brothers, the time is over, let's go out, gogogo."
After the game started, Schalke 04 took advantage of the home momentum and immediately launched a fierce attack towards the opponent's goal, which made the fans on the scene very excited. The cheers went higher and higher, and occasionally there were people-like teams sitting there to create momentum, cheering and put pressure on the opponent.
Originally, Hoffenheim's coach Randall was the same tactics as Sloane. He attacked at the beginning, and even said to be a strong attack. If Schalke 04 at home was caught off guard and scored a goal by himself, it would be even more enjoyable. But who knew that Schalke 04 would enter the state faster and his offensive was more fierce, and he would hold the initiative tightly in his hands at once.
Randall on the sidelines could only frequently signal his players to stabilize, stabilize first, stabilize the defense before counterattacking. After the opening, Qin Tian was greeted by Hoffenheim midfielders Copado and Teber. The two cooperated very well, one by one, defending and one by one assisting. This made Qin Tian feel a little difficult when dealing with the ball.
Once again, he received Rakitic's goal. Qin Tian wanted to cooperate with his teammates in a two-by-one way, but Copado was very tight, and Teber on the back kept swimming, obviously discovering Qin Tian's intention.
Qin Tian changed his strategy and wanted to deceive Copado with fake moves, but the opponent was still unmoved and defended very well. Obviously, he made careful preparations before the game. After taking the terrain for a few consecutive times, Qin Tian planned to force a breakthrough with his left foot. As soon as he started, Copado posted it first. The defense at this position was to control Qin Tian's speed. Now everyone knows that as long as Qin Tian raises the speed, no one can defend it.
"Damn it", Qin Tian fired a ghost, retracted the ball under his feet and redirected it back to Rakitic who rushed over to assist. The latter passed the ball to Marin on the side. Marin took a few steps forward on the left and passed it straight to Kulanyi on the edge of the penalty area. The latter suddenly turned around and shot behind. The ball actually didn't have much threat, but the victory was enough.
Goalkeeper Ozjan measured it and did not dare to reach out to hold the ball, so he pushed the ball out of the baseline with one palm.
Corner kick!
Schalke 04 The first corner kick in this game, Ozil came up to take the penalty.
Ozil stood in the corner flag area and exchanged glances with Kuranyi in the penalty area. Kuranyi slowly moved backwards, which aroused the alertness of Hoffenheim player Nelson and hurriedly followed. Without the referee not paying attention, Nelson pulled the hem of Kuranyi's uniform. This movement was not big, but the effect was very obvious, just not allowing you to jump comfortably.
Ozil assisted and started the run. The ball did not turn to the penalty area, but turned outside the penalty area and accurately found Qin Tian. The latter hanged the ball into the penalty area with his head, causing chaos in Hoffenheim's penalty area. After a chaotic battle, the ball was finally obtained by Falfan and made a shooting posture. Yankel, who was deceiving to defend him, subconsciously jumped.
Falfan passed the ball to Kuranyi on the other side. Kuranyi raised his foot and made a powerful shot. Goalkeeper Ozjan reacted quickly and blocked the ball. The ball still landed on the right side. Ozil stopped the ball in his chest and was about to lift the ball into the penalty area again. Hoffenheim left back Ibers had already tackled Ozil to the ground.
With a free kick, Schalke 04 got a continuous opportunity to attack set-pieces.
"Schalke 04, who played at home, seems to be extremely eager for victory today. The continuous attacks have made Randall's team very passive. It seems that Randall needs more effort to win a seat in the European game," said Tao Wei in the bj studio.
At this moment, Randall squatted on the sidelines, watching the disciples' game intently. Randall always feels uncomfortable about this free kick. After all, Schalke 04 has many free kick masters, which is equivalent to giving the opponent a great opportunity to rewrite the score. If the ball is lost at the beginning, the game will not be easy to play. As for the chance to play next season's League Cup, Randall is bound to win.
Taking advantage of the referee not setting up the walls of people in the penalty area, he still has to wait for a while for the game. The director on the scene was also leisurely looking for the targets he wanted to see in the stands, such as beauties, some celebrities, such as some club owners, scouts, head coaches, etc.
"Oh, this is a hot mom with a baby in her arms, this is an older hot girl again. It seems that the director today has a relatively good taste... Well, unique. Oh, who are those people? Quickly cut back, Mr. Morati of Inter Milan, Manchester City's new coach Mancini, and Real Madrid's prospective chairman Florentino, there is no doubt that they are all watching Qin Tian's game. Could it be..." Tao Wei was following the camera and suddenly saw the scene in front of him, and immediately understood the reason in his mind.
Look at the smiling Chairman Reiberg sitting next to them. Obviously, the rumors before were true. Now the clubs that are interested in Qin Tian have arrived. Maybe in the near future, everyone will see that Qin Tian may be wearing a white battle robe, a blue and black battle robe, or even...
The director is very good at doing things, and immediately cut the camera back to Qin Tian who was preparing in front of the ball. Tao Wei seemed to feel that the whole world's eyes were on the player who bent over and placed the ball carefully.
