Chapter 45: Lead twice, tie twice(1/2)
Sevilla took a goal kick, and after a simple transmission from the backcourt, the entire midfield and frontcourt together with both defenders pressed forward.
Obviously they are preparing for a strong attack at the end of the first half to see if they can equalize the score.
Sevilla midfielder Banega sent a long pass to Reyes' path.
The ball passed by Banega was a little forward and rolled right between Reyes and Arnold.
The two people started almost at the same time, and both accelerated towards the ball's landing point.
With the belief that every ball must be fought, he ran with all his strength and approached quickly, just as the two of them were about to collide.
At the critical moment, Reyes took the lead, quickly moved the ball and avoided the rushing Arnold, and completed a pass in a flash.
The Sevilla forwards Bacca and Vitolo in front immediately split into two groups and inserted into the Wolfsburg penalty area, attracting the attention of Nardo and Vierinha respectively.
At the same time, Wolfsburg's other central defender Knoch and Gustav surrounded him back and forth, trying to block Sevilla's forward offensive.
Reyes originally wanted to continue dribbling the ball in a straight line to violently break through, but his body, which is over 30 years old, made him unable to do so.
There is no choice but to slow down, control the ball at your feet, and then change direction to hit Knoch on the right.
When Knoch saw Reyes slowing down and changing direction, he did not take action immediately, but slowly retreated to prepare to put pressure on Reyes with Schmelzer.
Reyes raised his head and glanced in the direction of the goal. The moment he entered the penalty area, he suddenly moved the ball horizontally. After it came out of the angle, he immediately hit the goal with one kick.
The ball didn't seem to pose much of a threat. It was a low ball. Only Benaglio, who was standing in the middle of the goal, felt something was wrong and immediately made a save in the direction of the football.
Reyes' shot doesn't look very powerful, but in fact the ball is fast and urgent, and it goes towards the lower left corner of the goal.
Ricardo Rodriguez, who was returning to defense, stretched out his foot to block the ball in front of the goal reflexively. The outside of his right foot really hit the ball, but the ball just changed its direction and continued to refract and roll towards the goal.<
/p>
Ricardo Rodriguez was shocked when he saw this situation. He was afraid of causing an own goal, so he immediately turned and looked in the direction of the goal.
Unexpectedly, by mistake, the angle of the refracted football changed a little, allowing Benaglio to block the ball with his fingers, and the football bounced out.
When Benaglio saw the football bounce back into the penalty area, he immediately pounced on it, trying to hold the ball in his arms.
But Baka had already followed. There was nothing to say, just a blast from his right foot!
The football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Faced with Bacca's explosive shot, Benaglio had no choice but to watch the football fly into the goal.
"Reyes shot! Ricardo Rodriguez blocked it, Benaglio blocked the ball with one hand, and Bacca made a supplementary shot!"
"GOAL!!!! In the final stage of the first half, Bacca scored a goal for Sevilla and equalized the score!"
"But most of the credit for this goal must be attributed to Reyes. This former Spanish wing seems to have regained the feeling of his youth!"
In the past ten minutes, Sevilla has continuously used fouls to contain Wolfsburg's threatening offensive.
Their midfielder received two yellow cards in a row, which may be a hidden danger, but it completely blocked Wolfsburg's offensive momentum of pursuing victory.
And by blocking a counterattack after Wolfsburg's offensive, he tore apart Wolfsburg's defense and scored.
In a flash, Wolfsburg, which had a chance to expand its lead, was tied with the score.
Suddenly there were some fluctuations in the mentality of Wolfsburg generals, and the anger in their hearts began to increase slowly.
It can only be said that Wolfsburg’s European war experience is not as good as that of Sevilla. Wolfsburg still needs more training in the European war.
The first half of the game soon ended. During the intermission, Wolfsburg once again unified their thinking and continued to attack in the second half to maintain pressure on Sevilla's defense.
Attack is the only way to win in this game!
Dieter Heijing corrected his mistakes when he knew they were wrong, and completely put aside his conservative tactics. Since he can't match Emery's tactics, he used a full-line attack without regrets in the second half, and Sevilla competed!
p>
At the same time, he also warned the players on the field not to lose their mentality and make some irrational behaviors because of the opponent's foul tactics.
But in the face of Sevilla's intentional foul, Wolfsburg players must also respond strongly. If the wolves in the north don't show off, they really think we are a group of huskies who can bully them at will, right?
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Because the two midfielders were carrying yellow cards, Sevilla did not dare to make any foul moves when intercepting in the middle.
Therefore, Sevilla's midfield defense can almost only play a role in compressing space, and Wolfsburg's offense can directly advance into the heart of Sevilla.
The offensive initiative began to slowly be handed over to Wolfsburg.
It’s Wolfsburg’s turn to attack again.
Gustav sent a long pass from the backcourt, but the ball was slightly too big.
Zhao Jinge burst out with the fastest speed, and finally stretched out his foot to hook the ball back when it was about to pop out of the sideline.
Zhao Jinge stopped the hooked ball directly with the outside of his right foot and continued to dribble forward to break through.
How could Sevilla let Zhao Jinge drive straight in alone? Krechowiak immediately stepped forward to intercept.
Facing the interception, Zhao Jinge was not afraid at all. He rushed directly to Krechowiak's side, then lightly picked up his right foot, and the football flew directly over Krechowiak's head.
Krechowiak turned around suddenly, Zhao Jinge had already caught up with the football, and with another explosive kick, he dribbled the ball toward the baseline.
At this time, Krechowiak, who was chasing after him, seemed to have lost his mind for a moment, forgetting that he already had a yellow card on his body, and directly wanted to grab Zhao Jinge's jersey.

It was too late to accelerate, so Zhao Jinge could only step on the ball and pull back, avoiding his outstretched sinful hand, then pull the ball and turn around.
Just when he was about to continue to move forward, Sevilla's other midfielder Mbia arrived in time.
He used a fierce sliding tackle to shovel the football out of the baseline from the side, and hit Zhao Jinge's supporting foot, bringing him to the ground.
The referee decisively showed Mbia a yellow card. Zhao Jinge was a little embarrassed after the fall. After complaining to the referee a few times, he was immediately pulled aside by De Bruyne.
Wolfsburg's quick sideline ball continues to attack the hinterland of Sevilla.
Arnold found Zhao Jinge with a kick, and Zhao Jinge continued to go straight to the bottom line along the wing.
Mbia immediately followed Zhao Jinge, and the two of them continued to run forward while confronting each other.
Mbia is slightly slower than Zhao Jinge in terms of speed, but the difference is that one is with the ball and the other is without the ball, and Mbia has been stuck inside, making it impossible for Zhao Jinge to change direction and escape.
The two walked forward and reached the edge of Sevilla's penalty area without giving in. Zhao Jinge suddenly stopped and turned around and knocked the ball to De Bruyne in the middle.
De Bruyne held the ball at the top of the penalty area, observed it briefly and then sent a diagonal pass.
Dost received a pass near the small penalty area, turned around and hit the goal with a fake move, then passed the ball to Zhao Jinge who was in an open goal position.
The experienced Sevilla goalkeeper Sercio Rico subconsciously made a save, not to mention Daniel Carriso who was blocking the front. He was directly hit by this fake move.
The football quickly rolled to the right side of the goal. Zhao Jinge, who quickly followed up, rushed over and fired an angry shot without stopping the ball.
The football crossed a dazzling white line and headed straight for the upper right corner of Sevilla's goal.
Sercio Rico, who fell to the ground, was helpless and could only watch Zhao Jinge penetrate Sevilla's goal again!
"GOAL!!!! In the 52nd minute of the game, Zhao Jinge once again broke through the goal guarded by Sercio Rico! Another score!"
"The cooperation between De Bruyne, Dost and Zhao Jinge in the frontcourt was flawless. They directly penetrated Sevilla's entire defense!"
"Wolfsburg once again leads the Europa League king Sevilla at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland!"
In the German studio, Ballack explained the game with great excitement.
The Wolfsburg fans at the scene put their dissatisfaction and disappointment behind and shouted loudly the name of their goal scorer.
The boy who rushed to the stands of Wolfsburg fans with his thumbs in his mouth and a bright smile. The boy who turned his back to them and raised his jersey with both hands to show his name. The boy who always kissed the Wolfsburg team badge after scoring a goal.
Teenager.
Became the most shining one in the eyes of all Wolfsburg fans.
After the celebration, the game continued. Sevilla did not rush forward to launch an offensive after the kick-off.
Under the instructions of their head coach Emery, Sevilla's players began to slowly slow down their rhythm and kept kicking back and forth in the center circle.
Wolfsburg stepped forward to press, they passed the ball back to the backcourt, and then reorganized and moved forward.
This sudden slowdown in the pace of the game made Wolfsburg, who had just been continuing to attack, slightly uncomfortable. They began to compete with Sevilla for the ball near the center circle.
In the constant struggle, Wolfsburg's originally orderly defensive formation slowly became messy, and a loose gap formed between the midfield and the defense.
Taking this opportunity, Sevilla immediately launched a fast break, and Sevilla midfielder Krechowiak sent a diagonal long pass from the middle of the backcourt.
Reyes stopped on the right side of the frontcourt and buckled into the inside. When Ricardo Rodriguez moved inside and tried to intercept head-on, Reyes deftly accelerated and changed direction, turned the ball and returned to the wing position.
Send a cross in front of the baseline.
Sevilla center Bacca accurately found the landing point of the cross.
Naldo tried to block Bacca during the defense, but the height gap prevented him from fighting for the football.
Bacca overpowered Naldo, took off, swung his head towards the flying football, and headed the ball into the upper right corner of the Wolfsburg goal!
Having just taken the lead for less than ten minutes, Sevilla once again equalized the score through changes in the rhythm of the field.
The Wolfsburg fans, who were in high spirits just now, immediately fell silent, and then booed loudly in the direction of Sevilla.
De Bruyne realized that if Wolfsburg wanted to win the game, they could no longer get into Sevilla's rhythm.
In this game, they are always the side that passively makes changes. If it weren't for Wolfsburg's offensive line today, especially Zhao Jinge's excellent condition, this game would have been in danger.
Wolfsburg restarted the kick-off. Under De Bruyne's organization, Wolfsburg began to ignore Sevilla's entanglement in the midfield and quickly passed the ball to the offensive players in the frontcourt.
