Chapter 250 Don't worry (ps: I'm in good shape today
The second half of the game started, and it was Leverkusen who took the first kick.
Berbatov passed the ball to Neuville and then ran forward. He knew his job, which was to fight with the opponent's defenders in the opponent's penalty area and then create more space for his teammates.
This kind of work is important, but it is not eye-catching.
Leverkusen still adopted an active offensive rhythm, but what was different from the first half was that they began to pass through the midfield more quickly and then launched an attack. Ballack was not the kind of player who liked to break through with the ball.
What the midfielder often does is to quickly distribute the ball to both sides, and then hit the ball into the penalty area through the two wings, and then he moves forward to finish the attack.
This kind of attack is very simple, but it is very effective, especially because Ballack's timing of the forward thrust is very accurate. Coupled with his physical fitness, it is difficult for Stam to block even Stam when he jumps in place.
His impact.
Leverkusen also unites around Ballack, allowing him to maximize his abilities. This approach may suppress the performance of other players, but when Ballack's strength is higher than others, this
The tactics can show more power!
Historically, Leverkusen actually lost one of its main players, Ballack, this summer. Other absolute main players such as Lucio, Bute, Schneider, and Neuville have all remained. However, the performance is compared with last season.
But it's a world of difference. They were almost relegated in the league and suffered six consecutive defeats in the second group stage of the Champions League... The reason lies in this, because this team attacks around Ballack. Once a player like Ballack leaves,
, of course it will have a huge impact!
It's just that that's for next season. Now the Leverkusen players are not thinking too far ahead, but just to do something in this last game, when they are at their strongest!
Leverkusen attacked fiercely, while Atletico Madrid temporarily stabilized its defense and avoided the opponent's limelight.
Schneider received a pass from Sebeczen on the wing, then paused at his feet, looked up to observe the situation in the penalty area, and then raised his feet to send a beautiful curve ball before Capdevila came forward.
, passed the ball into the penalty area!
Berbatov desperately struggled with Thuram in the penalty area. Although he was far inferior to Thuram in terms of physical confrontation, he staggered and almost lost his balance when he was forced by Thuram. However, he was able to
attracted Thuram's attention.
Ballack rushed towards the penalty area like a lion, and Stam rushed forward. Makelele gave up defending Ballack and returned to the penalty area to defend Neuville. This was to prevent Ballack from not shooting directly.
Instead, he chose to fly the ball with a header. Baraja still followed Ballack, trying to interfere with Ballack's forward speed.
However, Ballack still moved forward firmly without any interference, and then jumped high together with Stam!
With the help of momentum, Ballack got ahead of Stam and hit the ball first, and then pushed the ball hard!
Stam could only interfere for a while, but his interference was not useless. Ballack's header was slightly off the mark, and the ball hit the top of the crossbar directly, then jumped up and out.
Bottom line!
"What a pity, Ballack's header missed the goal by a little bit! Leverkusen's offense during this period has been quite fierce. If this continues, it seems that it is only a matter of time before a goal is scored..."
"Let's fight back and beat them back!" Molina shouted towards the frontcourt, then he took the ball thrown by the ball boy and quickly passed the ball to Capdevila on the left. Atletico Madrid started
counterattacked.
Capdevila dribbled the ball forward. When Schneider caught up with him, he raised his foot and passed the ball to Belleron who was connecting in the middle. Belleron quickly passed the ball to Baraja. Now he is not worried about the opponent's
The midfielder is pressing because there is one less player in the opponent's midfield. No matter how powerful Ballack is, one person can be used as two people in offense, but he cannot be used as two people in defense.
"The consequences of missing a midfielder are like this. With the performance of the opponent's dominant midfielder, it will be very difficult to defend! Especially when Atletico Madrid has an advantage in foot skills..."
Baraja passed the ball back to Belleron, and Belleron began to dribble the ball forward in the middle. Ballack quickly defended, trying to stick to Belleron so that he could not organize the attack, but Belleron quickly
The ball was passed out, and the ball fell to the feet of Vicente who came in from the left. Vicente took the ball and took a step crosswise, and then quickly passed the ball to Jadel at the front of the penalty area. Jadel passed the ball back to the left.
Camoranesi stepped in and took advantage of the situation and took a long shot. The ball missed the far post and flew out of the baseline.
After being beaten back by Atletico Madrid, Leverkusen's offense still has no intention of stopping. They are now lagging behind and have no other choice, especially when facing Atletico Madrid. If they cannot control the rhythm of the offense,
In their own hands, Atletico Madrid can rely on its excellent foot skills to continuously control the ball, constantly wear down Leverkusen's physical fitness, and finally win the game without any blood!
Bute passed the ball directly to the frontcourt. Berbatov took off in the frontcourt but was suppressed by Thuram. The ball was directly pushed back to Leverkusen's half. Ramilao grabbed the ball in front of Belleron again.
The ball was pushed down, Ballack turned around with the ball, collided with Baraja, and then raised his foot and passed the ball to Ze Roberto on the left.
The Brazilian started dribbling the ball from the wing, and Hector reluctantly followed him. Hector was under a lot of pressure in this game, and Ze Roberto was enough for him to deal with. In addition, Schneider and others continued to
He switched positions to this side to attack, so that his side could only defend and could not move forward to support Camoranesi's attack. It was also the pressure brought by Leverkusen's attack that caused Atletico Madrid to
The players found it very difficult to defend.
Under Hector's defense, Ze Roberto still dribbled the ball into the 30-meter area of Atletico Madrid, then made an emergency stop, raised his foot and passed the ball to Ballack, who kept passing the ball straight ahead.
Neuville, then pushed forward himself. Neuville passed the ball back immediately. Ballack swung his right foot while running and hit the goal hard!
However, as soon as the ball flew out of his feet, Makelele and Baraja appeared in front of him, one on the left and one on the right, blocking Ballack's shot with their bodies!
"Atletico Madrid's defense is too tenacious! It is really difficult to break their defense from the center! But think about it, for Dick, it is well known that he values the center. Several big moves
The signings, Makelele, Thuram, Stam, and Jader, are all midfield players. Belleron and Baraja, whom he focused on training, are also midfielders! These midfield players form Atletico Madrid's outstanding midfielder.
Axis has also made their performance in the past two years extremely outstanding!"
After resisting Leverkusen's attack, the morale of Atletico Madrid players began to become high. The ball blocked by Makelele with his body was obtained by Baraja, who quickly passed the ball to
Belleron in front, Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack!
Ballack turned around and prepared to return to defense, but Belleron was no longer prepared to give him this opportunity this time. He turned around and passed a beautiful ball from behind, which went straight to the left side of Leverkusen's half!
Vicente hit at high speed from the wing. He had already scored a goal before. For the young Vicente, such a result is already outstanding enough! It can also better motivate him to have even better performance.
performance.
Vicente charged along the wing at high speed, and Sebecen quickly returned to defend, but still couldn't catch up with him. Sebecen was a little injured when he came out, but he still hasn't recovered from the impact. Now, he can no longer support it.
…
While running, Sebecen suddenly fell to the ground in embarrassment, but Atletico Madrid players did not stop their attack. Vicente broke through along the left to near the baseline, and then Lucio
Before coming over, he raised his foot and passed the ball into the penalty area!
Jadel jumped high in front of the ball, and Novotny also gritted his teeth and jumped up with all his strength. He jumped up on the spot to confront Jadel. Nowotny knew that his chances of winning were not very high.
The two collided in the air. Jardel had the upper hand completely, but he was unable to hit the ball because before the two collided, Butt had already struck accurately and raised his hand in the air to pick the ball off!
"Bute's attack was timely! If he had stayed in front of the goal, this attack could probably be converted into a goal... Oh, Sebecyn fell to the ground! When was he injured? Let's do it
Look at the slow motion... He suddenly fell to the ground while chasing Vicente. I heard that Sebeczen's injury did not heal before the game. It seems that the old injury has recurred! This is a disadvantage for Leverkusen.
The good news is that they don't seem to have a reliable right back if Sebeczen gets injured..."
In the broadcast footage, Topmueller was chatting with the team doctor with a serious expression, while Old Hill in the box laughed.
"Hahaha, luck is still on our side! One of their main players is injured, and then they only have one substitution left. Di will definitely be able to bring us a championship!"
Old Hill was laughing, his face glowing red, and he looked extremely energetic.
At this time, Topmüller made a substitution that surprised everyone. He did not replace the substitute right back, but with a wave of his hand, he replaced the right back Sebecen with veteran forward Kirsten!
In other words, Leverkusen's current formation has changed from 4-5-1 at the beginning of the game to the current 3-4-3!
One substitution reduces one midfielder and adds one forward, and then the number of forwards becomes three - Topmüller's idea of attacking to the end, equalizing or even overtaking the score is already obvious!
"You are really willing to risk everything..." Dick could see at a glance that it would be difficult for Topmuller to switch to defense now. It seems that Leverkusen really wants to use offense until the end of the game.
Ended: "I kind of admire this guy now."
Dick hasn't made a substitution yet. It's not that he doesn't know how to make a substitution, but he feels that there is really no need to make a substitution now. If he substitutes an offensive player, the defense will be affected. If he substitutes a defensive player, he cannot do without it.
Offense - Unless there are any changes, he will not rush to make substitutions. After all, they have a huge advantage now in terms of score and situation.
Dick looked at his watch and saw that ten minutes had passed in the second half, and there were still more than thirty minutes left before the game would end.
"Don't rush now, there is still a long time." Dick muttered silently in his heart.
