"After the 1-4 defeat to Stuttgart in the last round, Freiburg coach Streich made significant adjustments to the lineup. The two forwards Jendriszek and Santini were abandoned, and Freis placed one person at the top. Up front, Schmid returned to midfield and Hinkle appeared at the left gate.
Schalke also lacked personnel. Huntelaar, Farfan, Fuchs and Metzelder were all absent due to injuries. Yang Feng, Obasi, Jones and Escudero replaced them. "
Freiburg 4-5-1.
Goalkeeper: 1 Bowman;
Defenders: 25 Sorge, 13 Diagne, 41 Hearn, 20 Hinkle;

Schalke 4-4-2.

Midfielder: 12 Heger, 13 Jones, 19 Obasi, 7 Raul;
Forwards: 31 Draxler, 9-Yang Feng.
Perhaps it was the adjustment in the last game that gave Stevens a taste of the sweetness. In this game, Raul was still placed in the attacking midfielder position, and the younger Draxler and Yang Feng formed a double forward, but this also It's just the position before the game starts. During the game, these two people will definitely have to change positions frequently.
Draxler said: "I heard that you didn't even prepare for a party? Is this how you Chinese celebrate birthdays?"
Yang Feng raised his chin towards the visiting team's stands, "This is the best party."
Many fans in the stands held up a piece of cardboard with "Happy Birthday" written in Chinese on it.
Some female fans also print "18" on one cheek and "9" on the other. The meaning is obvious.
Draxler said: "Your popularity is almost catching up with mine now."
After Bayern Munich, Yang Feng's jersey sales surged again, surpassing Farfan, and second only to Huntelaar, Raul and Draxler. If he continues to perform like this, it won't be long before he surpasses Djokovic. thing.
"I deserve this, don't I?"
"Yes," Draxler reached out and patted him, "Happy birthday, brother."
"It's useless to talk," Yang Feng said, "I need assists."
"Of course, you are the protagonist today."
A whistle blows and the game begins.
It is not unreasonable for Freiburg to be at the bottom in points. Their strength in all aspects is worse than Schalke 04, so the style of play is also very realistic. In addition to the forward Freis cruising near the penalty area preparing for a counterattack, the five middle The field has almost retreated to the center circle, and the defense lines are layer by layer.
Yang Feng and Draxler were heavily guarded, and their speed advantage could not be used, and most of their power was lost.
Raul controlled the rhythm with experience, and the two sides slowly exhausted themselves in the midfield. The game seemed quite boring at the beginning.
The coaches of both sides were sitting in their seats with sullen faces, making it difficult to see their emotions. However, in the fifth minute of the game, Stevens suddenly stood up and made a gesture to the court that no one could understand.
The players on the field received the instructions and suddenly began to speed up.
Farfan is absent, Draxler is on the striker, and Schalke's only accelerator is Obasi.
In addition to his scoring ability, the Nigerian is also very good at speed and breakthrough. He quickly opened a gap on the wing through a sharp pass.
Raul immediately rushed into the penalty area and surrounded the goal with Yang Feng and Draxler.
Obasi almost sprinted with his eyes closed, and before he was about to collide with the full-back, he made a cross pass into the penalty area.
Yang Feng broke away from Diagne who was following him closely, quickly came to the door and pushed with his right foot.
"Obasi! It's over! Crossed the ball! Yang Feng shot! Oh~~ It's a pity that it hit the defender... Huh? Raul?!"
Duan Xuan's surprise basically represents the voice of the fans.
Yang Feng's right-footed push shot from 13 meters away hit Caligiuri and was deflected. He was about to go in, but was saved by Freiburg goalkeeper Bowman.
The football came to Raul's feet. Raul stopped the ball with his left foot, calmly dunked Sorge, and then used his unfamiliar right foot to push the ball almost exactly like Yang Feng.
The one who made the contribution this time was Freiburg captain Machiadi. He almost completed an emergency rescue on the goal line and blocked this extremely threatening shot with his feet.
Yang Feng and Raul missed the ball one after another, and Freiburg narrowly escaped death.
Although the Miners fans felt sorry, they still applauded the players.
Everyone is lamenting Freiburg's good luck.
Judging from this attack, Freiburg cannot really strangle Schalke on the defensive end, so both Schalke players and fans are still very relaxed in mentality. Everyone firmly believes that a goal will be scored sooner or later. .
As a result, I kept waiting and waiting. Not only did the opportunity never come, but my own goal was also threatened.
In the 16th minute of the game, Hewedes stepped forward with an assist but was caught in a gap. The football was pushed to the right side of Schalke's penalty area. Fortunately, Caligiuri's left-footed shot from 25 meters away missed the right post.
This kick slightly awakened Schalke's defense, but it did not attract attention, and the bitter pill was quickly swallowed.
Just 2 minutes later, Fries and Rosenthal passed consecutive headers from the right ribs. Froome lightly blocked the right side of the arc in the penalty area, and Fries successfully countered the offside!
Hildebrand's scalp was numb, but she still made a decision and left the door.
Fries accelerated, passed Hildebrand, and hit the goal from a small angle on the right side of the goal.
The football went into the goal amid the cheers of the home fans, 1-0.
Freis ran to the sidelines and celebrated wildly. The camera swept across the Schalke generals. Their faces were full of confusion, as if they didn't know what was happening.
"The goal came too suddenly. Freiburg's defensive counterattack tactics were very successful and caught Schalke 04 off guard..."
This goal finally made the Schalke generals nervous, and the offensive became more and more fierce, but Freiburg finally took the lead and immediately turned the half-court into an iron barrel formation, surrounding the penalty area.
Schalke 04 did not get another scoring opportunity until the 21st minute. Draxler received a pass from Obasi from the right and passed it back. Hewedes once again ran forward and stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area. The shot from 11 meters away was saved by Bowman.
After that, the game once again entered a soporific state.
The first half is coming to an end, and the score is still 1-0.
Except for that supplementary shot, Yang Feng rarely even touched the ball. It seemed that he was far away from scoring a goal, but it seemed that even God didn't want him to have a miserable birthday, so he suddenly gave him a ball just before the referee was about to blow the half-time whistle. A big gift package was given.
Draxler, who was waiting in the penalty area to no avail, retreated significantly, and his aggressive pressing caused a passing error by Freiburg midfielder Schmid.
Jones immediately stepped forward and tipped the ball to Draxler.
Draxler stopped the ball, turned around, and made a pass.
The football went over the defender's head and fell to the left side of the goal.
Yang Feng almost missed the pass. The football was already above his head before he could determine where it would land. Fortunately, his fast speed made up for his lack of sense of smell. He quickly got rid of it and shot with his right foot.
The football bounced up again before it hit the ground, flew over Bowman's head and into the goal.
From outside the penalty area to in front of the goal and then into the goal, the flight path of the football seemed to draw an awkward "m" in the air.
"GOAL! Wonderful pass, wonderful shot! Jurgen and Young completed a pick-up relay, and Schalke 04 tied the score before the end of the first half."
"Congratulations to Yang Feng for scoring his tenth Bundesliga goal! This is his first season in the Bundesliga, or to be more precise, this is the first season of his career! He also has a record of eighteen years old He became the youngest player in Bundesliga history to score in double figures in a season, breaking Bordowski's seven-year record."
Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.
"Congratulations on becoming the youngest player in the history of the Bundesliga to reach double figures in league goals, earning three points. Current points: 12."
Yang Feng hesitated for a second and spent ten points on the draw.
The roulette wheel appeared, the pointer spun sharply, stopped, and a white star card jumped out.
Yang Chen is the most successful Chinese player who has ever played in German football.
