I don't just score goals

August 29th.

Bayer Arena.

Bayer Leverkusen vs. Monchengladbach.

Leverkusen still continues the starting lineup from the previous round of the league.

Monchengladbach's starting number was also 442.

Goalkeeper: Bailly.

Defenders: Levers, Brouwer, Dante, Daemes.

Midfielder: Herman, Bradley, Marx, Arango.

Forwards: Idrisso, Reus.

Heynckes sat calmly on the coaching bench.

Studying Monchengladbach's first-round draw with Nuremberg didn't reveal how strong the opponent was.

Royce's threat is more obvious at the point of attack.

There have been targeted arrangements before the game.

When the game started, Leverkusen quickly entered the state and actively launched an offensive.

Monchengladbach's formation is conservative.

The compressed backcourt space limits Leverkusen's passing and penetration.

Hao Qiang and Kiessling successively created opportunities for the players in the midfield. As the offense progressed, the two of them would also rush into the penalty area to grab points.

Banetta and Augusto were making waves on the wing, and the quality of their crosses was mediocre. Even if Hao Qiang and Keesling attacked the goal, it was difficult to shoot comfortably.

However, the two of them would still take the initiative to applaud their teammates or raise their thumbs to express their appreciation.

Leverkusen gradually takes advantage at home.

In order to improve his status, Hao Qiang took the initiative to knock down an ordinary card.

He just got excited and wanted to do something big.

Over there, Monchengladbach suddenly accelerated and launched a fierce attack.

After Royce dribbled forward and accelerated, the threat was clear at a glance.

When he reached the top of the penalty area, he restrained Ballack and Reinerts, and then passed the ball to center Idriso. The latter protected the ball in the right rib area of ​​the penalty area and blocked Hyypia, who planned to put further pressure on him.

At this time, Idriso decisively passed the ball across the ball.

Hermann ran wildly and cut inside, stopping and killing through Hyypia's defense zone!

Veteran Hyypia turned back to defend like an aircraft carrier turning around, completely losing the chance to cause any defensive interference.

Hermann's explosive shot in front of the small penalty area hit the near corner of the goal, but Adler was not to blame.

But it must be admitted that Herman's explosive shot was earth-shattering.

Incomparably wonderful, the effect is shocking!

Bayer Leverkusen 0:1 Monchengladbach.

Heynckes frowned slightly, feeling a little disappointed with the performance of the defense.

But he hopes the defense can adjust on its own.

While the Monchengladbach generals celebrated, the Leverkusen players cheered each other on and immediately accelerated their attack after the kick-off.

The two full-backs, Castro and Kadlec, also support the frontcourt.

Almost every side attack forced Monchengladbach to give up its perimeter defense.

An air raid siren sounded in the Mönchengladbach penalty area.

The two high center forwards, Hao Qiang and Kisling, were like two ghosts knocking on the goal, turning the defense upside down.

Goalkeeper Bailly blocked two shots each within 5 minutes.

But in the 30th minute of the game, when Castro sent a half-high ball from the wing, Hao Qiang and Kiessling crossed paths. He scrambled for the front spot and volleyed the ball next to Dante and blasted the ball into the near corner of the goal.

A step too late, Bailey was helpless.

After scoring the goal, Hao Qiang rushed directly into the goal, picked up the ball, held it in his arms and ran towards the midfield.

Leverkusen fans cheered.

Full of praise for Hao Qiang.

"Our new No. 9 is simply an all-around center forward!"

"Especially the fighting spirit is so exciting to watch!"

"If you don't celebrate when you score a goal, you are a cruel person!"

Bayer Leverkusen 1:1 Monchengladbach.

Hao Qiang nodded and high-fived his teammates after putting down the football in the center circle.

Although he is only 20 years old, every step of his running is so steady and his eyes are particularly fierce. He is definitely a person who is doing big things!

Hao Qiang conquered Leverkusen's locker room in the shortest possible time.

Gain the recognition and trust of the team.

Monchengladbach coach Fronzek gestured to the team to stabilize.

Leverkusen is unyielding.

Continue to launch strong attacks.

But perhaps because of too many air raids, Monchengladbach has gained experience in defense. In the next ten minutes, Leverkusen's attack was more thunderous than rainy.

On the contrary, Monchengladbach's offense became more and more threatening.

In the 39th minute of the game, Royce encountered Reinerts while dribbling forward. When he changed to cut inside, Reinerts knocked him to the ground.

Monchengladbach takes a free kick outside the penalty area.

Reus, who is so handsome that he is the face of the new generation of Bundesliga players, unexpectedly sent a diagonal pass when taking a free kick.

The football rolls wide.

Midfielder Max moved to receive the ball from the wing and then passed the ball.

The football bypassed the Leverkusen defense, and center back Bluewell overpowered Reinerts and smashed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal!

The Mönchengladbach fans who came to the away game created earth-shattering cheers.

Leverkusen fans are excited.

If Dortmund was overconfident against them in the first round, then today Monchengladbach's offensive and defensive balance gave them enough pressure on their defense. At the same time, Leverkusen was actually overconfident.

It seems that as long as he plays more brutally, he will definitely be able to break through Monchengladbach's goal.

That's right, after all, they scored.

But how much will the defense give up?

No one can guarantee it.

After the kick-off, Leverkusen was still attacking from the wing. Even Kiessling couldn't help but frown and signal to his teammates: Change your posture!

If you want to pass the level in one posture, then unless Monchengladbach is a piece of food, let them abuse you at will.

Dante almost maxed out his statistics when making clearances at the back line.

Before Leverkusen had time to adjust its posture, Monchengladbach launched another threatening attack before the end of the half.

Still Royce!

This little boy dribbled and advanced extremely sharply. When he encountered Ballack, he diverted the ball to the left area in front of the penalty area, and then sent a diagonal pass to Idriso.

The ball is very decisive and the thinking is very clear.

Idriso made a diagonal run into the penalty area and released the ball, but he controlled the ball and retreated, widening the distance between him and Reinarts.

Then an overhead pass caught Leverkusen's defense off guard.

Still an old problem.

After Hyypia turned around, he could only see the back of Herman, who was cutting inside.

Hermann did not change his stance, and shot another blast into the near corner of Leverkusen's goal!

The stands where the home team fans were seated at the Bayer Arena were silent.

The wind echoed with the cheers of Monchengladbach fans.

The Leverkusen fans have gone blank and have lost their ability to think.

What's going on?

Full of confidence to get a winning streak.

What's the result now?

1:3!

Heynckes has already walked to the sidelines.

There are some big problems on the defensive line, including in the midfield.

Ballack is strong, but Ballack is not a full-time defensive midfielder, and his speed is not fast.

Not to mention that Royce has the support of his teammates, even if Royce single-handedly dribbles and attacks, Ballack would not dare to say that the defense is 100% reliable.

Vidal is always not in the defensive position.

Still a little radical.

But now the tricky part is being two goals behind.

Leverkusen has to gamble with its defense!

If you don’t want to take risks, why should you regain the disadvantage of two goals?
