Chapter 142 This is Baier!
If you are asked to select the most disappointing team for the Bundesliga team last season, each fan may have his own answer, Dortmund? Hertha Berlin? But if you leave the choice to all German media for selection, then the answer is the only answer, Leverkusen!
This young Ruhr team was highly expected by fans at the beginning of last season, but at the end of the season, it only finished 7th in the league and eventually missed the European competition, which disappointed countless people who loved this team. For this reason, coach Skibe resigned at the end of the season, and the Bayer Youth Team, who had been working on several seasons, had to explore again. [..com]
This season, the new coach Labadia took office. Although he had no experience in coaching the Bundesliga team before, he was known for his good at cultivating new players when he was at Fert. Unlike last summer's drastic moves, Leverkusen seemed cautious in the transfer market in the new season, with only a mere 4 strokes, but each goal was clear.
First of all, in the position of the front midfielder, as Barbaretz retired, Schneider, who was troubled by injuries, gradually grew old. Leverkusen, who was used to having a core midfielder, instantly lost his support point, so finding an excellent front midfielder has become the top priority in this summer's transfer. Renato Augusto, with his powerful scout network in South America, spent 10 million euros to become the club's best addition to the club. Renato looks like Rivaldo, and like many of his predecessors, has already enjoyed a reputation in Brazil at a young age. He was called "Kaka II", attracting the attention of many European clubs.
In the central defender position, although Leverkusen did not buy Thiago Silva of Brazil's Olympic team, the team rented young central defender Enrique from Barcelona. Although this move is more like making wedding dresses for others, if you can't find a suitable candidate for the time being, it is not too much of a loss to rent for 400,000 euros for a year.
German international Helmos, who joined freely from his arch rival Cologne, is another move for the team. A year ago, the player decided to join, and Cologne and Leverkusen even went to court, but the players' wishes played a decisive role. Helmos will form a strong forward with Kislin.
Judging from Leverkusen's performance this season, it can only be said to be fair, not surprising, nor disappointing. The 8 win, 1 draw, 3 losses and 25 points have already caught up with the No. 1 Group. Although more people are optimistic that Schalke 04 can win the opponent away, the same thing is said: football is played by feet rather than by mouth, and the result will be decided after 90 minutes.
"With the referee's whistle, the game began. Spectators, you are now watching a game in the 13th round of the German Football League, against both sides, Leverkusen, who is at home in Bayer Athletic Stadium and Schalke 04, who plays away. Leverkusen is still wearing traditional red and black jerseys today, Schalke 04 is also their traditional blue jersey. This is a true red and blue battle," said Stark, a commentator at Bayer Athletic Stadium.
"Let's take a look at the starting list of both sides. On the Leverkusen side, the goalkeeper is Adler, and on the defense line are Jakepa, Friedrich, Enrique, and Castro, in the midfield, Rollfes, Banetta, Vidal, and Renato, which is a diamond position, and on the front line are Helmos and Kislin. This powerful combination has contributed countless wonderful goals to us in the new season."
"In Schalke 04, the goalkeeper is still Neuer, from left to right on the defense line, Rafinia, Boden, Pique and Westman, Englar in the midfield position, Ernst in the other positions in the midfield, Qin Tian and Ozil, and Kuranyi and Falfan in the forward line."
Regarding the focus battle between Leverkusen and Schalke 04, many commentators thought that Schalke 04 was a bit difficult to win, but this is not the absolute answer. After all, football is round and anything can happen. If you want to say which team will definitely win, in addition to strength, sometimes it also requires a little luck.
With the referee's whistle, everyone's attention was brought to the field, and the contest between the two sides officially began.
Leverkusen first obtained the right to serve. Kislin directly handed the ball to Helmos beside him. He rushed towards Schalke 04's penalty area like a ghost and began to look for opportunities. Helmos did not drag the ball and passed the ball directly to Vidal behind him, and at the same time he slowly ran towards Schalke's penalty area.
After receiving the pass from his teammate, Vidal directly passed the ball to Enrique in the backcourt, because in addition to his defensive skills, Enrique also has a very good footwork, which is more conducive to him observing the situation ahead in the backcourt.
Falfan, who started today, seemed very excited. Seeing Vidal pass the ball to the backcourt, he quickly rushed towards Enrique without any hesitation, trying to force the opponent to make a mistake and then directly snatch the ball. The idea is good, but the reality is always cruel. As Falfan thought, unless Enrique is funny, or treats Falfan as his teammate, or Enrique receives black money, it is impossible to break the ball from Enrique's feet. After all, Leverkusen's backcourt is very wide at present, and it is enough for Falfan to drink a pot of money.
Enrique didn't know much about Falfan, he only knew that the other party was a Peruvian and had the qualities of an excellent striker. "However, Peruvian boy, I'm not that easy to mess with. Compared to me, you're far behind." Enrique's eyes turned, and looking at Falfan getting closer and closer, Enrique's expression was very calm. He made a fake move to pass the ball to Friedrich, and then he swayed Falfan to jump up.
After cheating Falfan, Enrique began to speed up his speed and run towards the midfield defense. Looking at Falfan's funny appearance, Leverkusen fans burst into real ridicule.
"Haha, poor Peruvian boy, such a simple fake move deceived him. Look at our Enrique, I really don't know how Schalke 04 sent this young man to the court. If I were a few years younger, I would easily see through such fake moves on the court." Modoc, the commentator of Bayer Athletic Stadium, made a sneer and disdainful voice.
Watching Enrique attacking forward with the ball, the commentator began to scream wildly, but he still didn't forget to continue to sarcastic Falfan. Under the guidance of the commentator, Leverkusen's fans once again gave the booing to Falfan who was standing foolishly in the frontcourt.
Falfan looked at Enrique's back as he knew it was unrealistic to catch up completely, so he could only rely on his midfield teammates to block it. His ears were filled with the ridiculous sarcasm of the live commentators and fans, and his face became ugly. Indeed, as a proud forward, being played with by a young rookie center defender was indeed very depressed.
"Oh, I'm still a little younger, and I'm too excited when I encounter a big game." Looking at Falfan's actions just now, Sloane chewed gum and thought to himself, "But don't be happy too early, Leverkusen, the more you mock Falfan, the easier it is to stimulate his combat effectiveness. When he goes crazy, it's time for you to cry."
Enrique was still carrying the ball, and Qin Tian had already met him. Qin Tian had no good feelings for this arrogant boy. Seeing that it was Qin Tian, Enrique wanted to continue teasing Qin Tian, but no matter how he rushed left and right, he made fake moves, Qin Tian was not moved at all, which made Enrique very depressed and could only hand the ball to Renato on the right.
Renato received the ball, observed the situation in the frontcourt, and did not break forward by himself, but directly passed the ball to Kislin in front, and then ran forward by himself, preparing to pick up his teammates.
Kislin got the football and calmly protected the football. While pressing his back against Boden behind him, he stared at the running positions of Helmos and Renato from the corner of his eyes. Both of them can be said of the kind of people who destroy the city and village. As long as there is a little gap, they will create a chance to kill.
Kislin turned his back to Boden, feeling the opponent's defense behind him, his hands constantly exerting force, and his feet suddenly appeared under his feet from time to time, trying to sneak attack the football under his feet. But Kislin's ball protection skills are indeed very good. He calmly pressed his butt against the opponent tightly, and at the same time raised his right elbow slightly toward the opponent's chest, always keeping a certain distance between him and him.
Just as Boden was about to find another way, Kislin suddenly exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and calmly rubbed the ball against the outside of his instep. The football rolled into the penalty area from the two of them. At the same time, Kislin turned around quickly, relying on his strong body to rely on Boden's 180-degree turn, kicking his feet and exerting force to pursue the ball.
"So fast," Boden was shocked, and watched Kislin sweep past him, and quickly followed him.
"Haha, what a Boden, reacted very quickly." Kislin heard the footsteps and heavy breathing coming from behind, and the other party had already chased after him.
However, at this time, Kislin had already thought about his next step, staring at his front, trembled his left foot, and the ball flew to the middle with the force of his foot. Because as early as when Kislin and Boden were entangled, Helmos had penetrated into Schalke's penalty area and found an open space in front of Pique.
So at this moment, Kirsling's pass found Helmos very accurately, and Helmos also stuck Pique behind him tightly and easily faced Kirsling's pass. After getting the football, Helmos took a few steps forward, suddenly turned around, looked at Pique in front of him calmly, and took a small step, ready to break through at any time.
If the danger of a forward turning his back to the defensive player is level A, then when he turns around calmly, the danger coefficient rises sharply.
Pique was also nervous, "Damn it," he cursed secretly in his heart, not daring to be careless at all, and approached Helmos carefully, but at the same time he did not get too close, so as not to be caught off guard by the opponent's sudden activation. Because as long as you give the opponent some chance and some space, killers in the penalty area like Helmos will be the goalkeeper's nightmare.
Through the collection of information from the coach before the game, Pique has a certain understanding of Helmos. Helmos also has a very good understanding of Pique. He has an advantage in air defense and is also delicate in his feet. If he doesn't break through and pass the ball, the opponent will definitely not give him a chance to break through. So, Helmos moved.
He gently touched the football with his right foot, and Helmos suddenly exerted force and rushed directly to Pique's right with the ball. Pique kept paying attention to the opponent's every move and saw that the opponent was finally ready to break through. With his years of defensive experience, Pique knew that this breakthrough was not that simple, and it was very likely to be a fake move.
But sometimes he was so helpless on the court, and Pique had to move with the opponent at the same time. Seeing Pique pounce, Helmos's face did not change at all. He gently touched the ball with his right foot, causing the ball to change slightly, and he rolled to the left. At the same time, Helmos began to launch a strong impact on Pique's left.
Faced with the sudden change of direction of the other party, Pique used his strong and tall body to hold on to the other party, preventing the other party from accelerating easily. At this moment, Pique found a smile on his face, and felt a little uneasy, "not good". He quickly looked at Helmos' feet, and he didn't know when the ball that was supposed to be under his feet was gone.
It turned out that when Helmos just knocked the ball back with his right foot, he turned around and quickly blocked the ball with his left foot. At the same time, he rubbed the outside of his left foot and passed the ball out. Because Helmos had long observed that Kislin had already wiped it in the penalty area of Schalke 04.
After more than a dozen games this season, the two had a great understanding. When Schalke defenders reacted, the ball had rolled accurately to Kislin's feet. It was too late to regret at this time. They could only sigh at the realistic behavior of the opponent's fake moves, the right time to pass the ball and the deep concealment.
Even Boden, who was originally defending Kislin, chose to move closer to Helmos because he was afraid of being rushed over by Helmos. Now, because he had a distance from Kismos, Kismos made him secure the ball and shot against the ground.
The shot was fast and powerful, and the flight close to the ground made Neuer's save a beat late.
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Keislin, a low shot, broke the deadlock on the court. He has to thank Helmos for his selfless dedication in this ball. Haha, the Schalkes cannot stop our chariot. The great Leverkusen tells you with the goal that this is the Bayer Athletic Stadium and this is our territory." Stark was extremely excited.
Bayer Stadium was like a volcano erupting. Leverkusen fans shouted Kislin's name frantically, and at this moment, the joyful Kislin ran to Helmos at the first time to thank his teammates for passing the ball.
