Perfect Center

Chapter 185 Header advantage! Hoffenheim!
"Shi Xianjun's heel shot was very imaginative, but it was still seen through by Burki!"

"Porto did not score a goal in both home and away games, and Dortmund successfully advanced to the next round with a total score of 5-0!"

"The best player of the game is Sven Bender from Dortmund! He scored 8.1 points! His defense was impeccable! He had five headers, four of which were successful, and he cleared the ball ten times, the most in the game! He also made ninety-three accurate passes, the most in the game! His pass success rate reached ninety-five percent!"

"At the same time, Sporting Lisbon, another Portuguese Super League giant, lost away to Dortmund's opponent in the previous round: Bayer Leverkusen! They were also eliminated. Braga was the only Portuguese Super League team to successfully enter the round of 16 of the Europa League!"

"Xia Han's parent team Zalgiris lost to the Belgian First Division powerhouse Anderlecht with an aggregate score of 1-4!"

In the live broadcast room.
-
[Both sides wasted so many opportunities today! ]
-
[The crossbars and pillars of the Dragon Stadium are treated equally on both sides, and neither side is protected! ]
-
【The goalkeeper scored the only goal of the game! 】
-
[Casillas was really unlucky for this own goal. He saved Reus's first shot.]

Xia Han watched his teammates thank the audience.

The cold voice of the system came quietly!

[Ding Dong! This match is being settled...]

[Personal evaluation: None! ]

[An embarrassing own goal helped you win a victory at the Dragon Stadium! The total score was 5-0 and you successfully advanced to the Europa League round of ! The journey is far from over! The youth storm is so terrifying! ]

[Europa League rewards are being distributed...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Bronze Template Treasure Chest! ]

[Personal evaluation is none, and additional rewards cannot be triggered! ]

"The last bronze template gave me a Baia save, which doubled my goalkeeping attribute. I wonder what good things will come this time." Xia Han looked at the familiar bronze treasure chest that appeared in front of him.

"Open the treasure chest." Xia Han said silently in his heart.

[The bronze template treasure chest is opening...]

[Ding dong! ! 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Nuno Valente's "Heading Advantage" template! ]

[Won the Champions League with Mourinho in 2004! One of the creators of Porto's Champions League miracle! ]

[After Mourinho came to Porto as head coach, Valente also signed a three-year contract with Porto! Here he helped the club win the Portuguese Cup, League Championship, UEFA Cup Championship, and European Champions Cup. ]

[Late bloomer! Firmly occupies the position of left back of the Portuguese national team! ]

[He is an excellent header player. His aerial advantage is more obvious than his footwork! His positioning and prediction are very reasonable! ]

A figure wearing Porto's blue and white jersey came into view. It was Porto's left-back Valente!
The "heading advantage" template does not bring Xia Han a header during the attack!

Most of the images that come to Xia Han's mind are of header defense, so this template is useful to Xia Han, but not very useful!
"Focus and prepare for the league in three days." Xia Han turned off the TV.

Dortmund's recent schedule is very difficult, with a game every three days, even an iron man can't stand it.

Fortunately, in the league, there is Xia Han, a killer. The rookie wall does not exist for Xia Han at all. He can be used immediately! ...

Dortmund, a corner of the Brakel training center, in the "Footbonaut" training room.

"Footbonaut" For Dortmund, which emphasizes one-touch passing and pressure attacking tactics, this training room is obviously very targeted!
The key to Dortmund's success lies in ensuring that every player on the field has extremely high footwork ability and reaction speed!

At this time, Xia Han was in the training room, training alone.

Tuchel gave Dortmund players a day off. After all, the schedule is too frequent, and if they carry out more intense training, they will easily suffer from injuries.

The next opponent Hoffenheim is not in a good situation, ranking second from the bottom in the Bundesliga and is in the relegation zone.

These teams in the relegation zone often need to be guarded against because they will burst out with unprecedented strength in order to avoid relegation.

Time is like water, passing by in the blink of an eye.

Soon it was February 29th, the Bundesliga match day!
Playing at home is good news for Dortmund as they won’t have to travel too long and will be more prepared to face the busy schedule.

Hoffenheim's head coach Stephens had to resign due to health problems, and on February 28, Nagelsmann took over! He became the head coach of Hoffenheim's first team. At the age of 28, he also became the youngest head coach in the history of the Bundesliga. This -year-old guy was already the head coach of a Bundesliga team when his peers were still playing FM games!
The management gave enough trust to the 28-year-old coach, and Nagelsmann also performed well. In the 3st round of the Bundesliga, he drew with Werder Bremen, and in the 2nd round, he defeated Mainz -!
Nagelsmann instilled the concept of fast attack into the team, and he is determined and ambitious!
Although they have only played two games, the tactics displayed by Hoffenheim in the games are eye-catching!
Hoffenheim's attacking efficiency is extremely high, and many goals are scored through concise passes! In the two games that Nagelsmann took office, Hoffenheim's style of play is quite assassin-like!

At the same time, because of their similar age, the players get along very well with Nagelsmann, and the players' fighting spirit can always be mobilized by the passionate young coach, which enables the team to always burst out amazing energy in unfavorable situations and stage a reversal!

At the pre-match press conference.

Nagelsmann's eyes flashed with confidence.

"Even if we can't win, we will at least get a piece of the pie from Dortmund!"

"We are confident that we can get out of the relegation zone! The players are full of fighting spirit! After beating Mainz, our future is bright!"

“In our first match against Dortmund, we scored the first goal in the first half with the support of the home fans. Unfortunately, we couldn’t maintain the lead, but we also achieved a good result of a draw!”

"Our goal in this game is to maintain a draw and win!!!"

After Nagelsmann's passionate answer, the media reporters couldn't help but applaud him.

Tuchel's response was brief and powerful.

"Every head coach said before the game that they were not afraid or not afraid! But in the end, we won!"

"This game is no exception. The 1-1 away score doesn't mean anything. In this home game, I will let him know the strength of Dortmund at full power!"

"Recently, we have played a game every three days, but the coaching staff will make reasonable rotations to reduce the players' fatigue. We will take this game seriously!"

Media reporters also applauded the yellow and black cavalry that shocked Europe!
