I don't just score goals

Leverkusen started a two-front battle in the second half of the season.

In the first leg of the Europa League 1/16 finals, Leverkusen went to Eastern Europe to challenge Metalist.

The difference in strength between the two teams is clear at a glance.

Heynckes adopted a proactive strategy for the Europa League knockout rounds and hoped to win in one battle!

All his efforts are accomplished in one battle!

In the first round, all the main players will appear in the away game.

Metalist didn't expect Leverkusen to play as a guest at home.

And the way of playing is simple and crude.

The midfielders took turns rushing to the frontcourt, and both wings flew together.

Hao Qiang and Keesling finally found the tacit understanding they had at the beginning of the season.

The two play with each other on the front line, and their passing and running coordination is simple and efficient.

Metalist was helpless with this front line combination.

Hao Qiang and Keesling combined their head and kicks to score 5 goals in the away game.

Hao Qiang scored a hat trick and Keesling scored twice.

The two shine alternately and complement each other!

Leverkusen scored a stunning away victory.

Heynckes was satisfied.

In this way, the team can rotate when they return to the home court in the second round.

Play the first round with the mentality of a final!

This is how Heynckes reduces costs for the team.

Return to the league and challenge Frankfurt away.

Frankfurt is extremely aggressive at home.

Perhaps it was the exhaustion of Leverkusen's multi-front operations that made them hope to maximize their home court advantage.

As a result, a blitzkrieg failed to seize the opportunity, and Leverkusen quickly counterattacked after relieving the pressure in the away game.

In the 9th minute of the game, when a fast break in the frontcourt sent the ball to Hao Qiang, he took advantage of the situation and headed towards the penalty area. Facing the defender, he suddenly diverted the ball and made a strong breakthrough!

After entering the penalty area, he blasted a powerful shot into the upper right corner of the goal!

He roared and rushed to celebrate, and his teammates also laughed and rushed to hug him.

The Leverkusen fans couldn't help but worship him.

"Eintracht Frankfurt thought that we would be physically exhausted in the European competition, and it was indeed the case. The opportunity was given to them, but they didn't use it!"

"Hey, Hao Qiang, I love you, you are my daddy!"

"Guess whether Dortmund will drop points today?"

"We will be back on top soon!"

Frankfurt's opening blitz stunned themselves.

Has Leverkusen not been affected by the European war?

Of course!

But this does not mean that they will be defeated by their opponents.

Frankfurt created opportunities but failed to seize them.

The fans of the home team gritted their teeth and looked at the celebrating Hao Qiang with great envy.

Let’s take a look at our team’s forward line.

The more I look at it, the more I dislike it.

They are all a bunch of crooked idiots!

Frankfurt, which did not dare to attack after losing the ball, strengthened its defense.

Hao Qiang and Keesling were targeted and restricted.

Fierce body collision, stalking and pressing.

The scene was at a stalemate for a while.

Leverkusen is leading the score and has a slightly conservative mentality in the away game.

Therefore, there was no initiative to seize the game.

When the game passed 30 minutes, Frankfurt had to start taking the initiative to pick up the rhythm.

Frankfurt picked up the pace, and Leverkusen immediately stepped up their counterattacks and fast breaks.

Frankfurt dare not let down its guard.

As a result, the offensive and defensive ends were torn apart, and a fault appeared in the middle.

In the 38th minute of the game, Hao Qiang and Kiessling quickly attacked Frankfurt's penalty area during the fast break.

Frankfurt's defense quickly retreated to follow up.

The two of them contained the opponent's four defensive players.

Vidal advanced the attack to the front area of ​​the penalty area, and there was a defensive player in front of him blocking the way, so he passed the ball across.

Augusto made an adjustment step after crossing the ball and just entered the penalty area and shot hard.

The football passed through a white rainbow and entered the upper left corner of the goal!

Leverkusen leads Frankfurt 2:0 away from home!

The team is full of momentum and the players are high-spirited!

Heynckes clapped his hands and applauded from the sidelines.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the team quickly stabilized and regained its confidence in only half a month.

Hao Qiang's return is not Leverkusen's creation from scratch, but regaining lost ground.

But the progress is surprisingly fast!

Frankfurt fans fell into extreme pessimism.

In the second half of the game, Frankfurt repeatedly jumped between worrying about defense and whether to burn the boat.

Every time it seemed like they were going to intensify their offensive efforts, they ended up being short-lived and quickly dying out.

As long as Leverkusen rushes to the frontcourt with a fast break, they will be like a frightened bird, and everyone will quickly return to defense.

The game was a see-saw and the seconds passed.

Leverkusen made a substitution after 70 minutes.

Heynckes strengthens the midfield.

Hao Qiang watched Keesling being substituted off the field, and the opponent took the initiative to come up and give him a high-five before leaving the field.

Hao Qiang plays as a lone forward.

This substitution has told the world: Leverkusen's top scorer Kiesling was already behind Hao Qiang in the rankings last season.

Upon seeing this, Frankfurt immediately eliminated its concerns.

No matter whether the defense can block Leverkusen's premeditated fast breaks and counterattacks.

Now they all have to make a desperate move!

Otherwise, we will just lose the game at home.

When they launched a full-scale assault, Leverkusen steadily stabilized their defense and seized opportunities to counterattack.

In the 79th minute of the game, Hao Qiang received a pass from Vidal from the center circle and quickly dribbled forward to launch a counterattack.

Frankfurt only has two defenders left to defend in the backcourt.

They fought and retreated all the way, not daring to step forward to intercept.

I'm afraid that taking advantage of others will turn into giving away someone's life.

When Hao Qiang advanced to the front area of ​​the penalty area, the two central defenders in front finally planned to take action!

Just as the two men were trying to grab the ball, Hao Qiang changed direction and moved forward to the left.

He seemed to be off track by taking the outside line.

But when he led the defensive players to press, he controlled the ball and retreated to make the opponent realize: he was going to pass the ball!

I realized it but it was too late to intercept!

Midfielder Balic, who came on the bench, rushed into the penalty area, and Hao Qiang's cross pass was very comfortable in front of him.

Balic volleyed the ball!

The football flew into Frankfurt's goal like a cannonball!

Leverkusen 3:0 Frankfurt!

After Balic scored, he turned around and pointed at Hao Qiang, and took the initiative to run to the sidelines and roar with him in celebration!

Leverkusen generals rushed over one after another.

Heynckes was smiling all over his face, without any hint of arrogance, and there was no murderous look in his eyes, instead, they were gentle.

He stared at Hao Qiang and shook his head gently as if in admiration.

This is one of the reasons why Hao Qiang is stronger than Keesling.

You can still see the overall situation clearly at critical moments.

Even this kind of overall view is rare in the world for such a young forward.

But reality is actually happening.

Heynckes gave him absolute trust and support.

I expected Hao Qiang to grow quickly.

But unexpectedly, Hao Qiang is leading the team to the sea of ​​stars!

Frankfurt suffered a complete defeat at home!

At the end of the game, all Leverkusen players high-fived each other in celebration, and there was endless laughter.

After the game, Hao Qiang once again occupied the headlines of the German media.

Kicker: Hao Qiang led Leverkusen to a strong three-game winning streak. Leverkusen has a terrifying momentum!

Bild: Are Dortmund panicking? Leverkusen has already figured it out!

Dortmund defeated Cologne in the away game this round and can continue to sit on the leader's throne.

Leverkusen is on track.

The team did not let the victory go to their head.

The training atmosphere is positive and lively, and when practicing outside of training, the players compete openly and secretly with each other.

Almost every time when the sky is completely dark, Hao Qiang drives out of the training base with teammates such as Vidal, Kiessling, Bender, Reinarts and others.

They would reach out of the car window to signal to others before speeding away from the training base.

Leverkusen is too small.

Therefore, it is difficult to find countless temptations hidden in the bright lights in the city.

The life of a player is monotonous and peaceful.

It's no wonder that if they cause trouble, they'll find it somewhere else.

For example, when Deldy York was reporting for the national team, he would get into fights in nightclubs in Switzerland.

Vidal will also chase beauties when he returns to South America.

On the contrary, they had almost no negative rumors off the field in Leverkusen.

Also because Leverkusen is so small, any negative incident off the field will become big news.

As the second half of the season progresses.

The Leverkusen team has already reached a consensus.

Fight for the championship!

League, Europa League.

Both lines go hand in hand.

In the quiet atmosphere of daily life, Hao Qiang has his own romantic life.

Leverkusen plays Metalist at home in midweek.

The 5:0 advantage in the first round allowed Leverkusen to hide almost all the main players at home.

Hao Qiang naturally did not make the squad.

Catherine took him to a hot spring hotel, and the two hugged each other in the hot spring and watched the night view, feeling nourished and carefree.

Leverkusen defeated Metalist 2:0 at home with a rotating lineup.

They defeated their opponents at home and away to advance to the last 16 of the Europa League.

On February 27, in the 24th round of the Bundesliga, Leverkusen faced Stuttgart at home.

During the kick-off ceremony before the game, players from the two teams shook hands.

Hao Qiang found that Japanese forward Shinji Okazaki in the opponent's team seemed to be paying too much attention to him.

He only glanced at the other person and then looked away.

Didn't take it to heart.

It's not like he's a matchup opponent on offense and defense.

No need to pay too much attention.

Okazaki Shinji could not ignore Hao Qiang's existence.

Although Japan won the Asian Cup.

But Japan's ambitions are no longer in Asia.

Just as Koreans once thought, if Hao Qiang was a Korean player, then South Korea would dare to dream of winning the World Cup!

The same is true for Japanese football.

They have gone through the "Meiji Restoration" in football and have become the top team in Asia. At the same time, countless players play overseas every year.

But they don't have players who can reach Hao Qiang's current height and strength.

The more developed countries are in football, the more they understand the importance of stars.

It doesn't sound like one star is enough to change anything.

But in fact, if football is a team sport that wants to achieve stable and outstanding results, it is most inseparable from stars!

How often does the Greek Aegean myth appear?

Success is just a flash in the pan.

Whenever Asian players meet together in top European arenas, the media will hype up the topic: Asian Civil War!

Hao Qiang and Okazaki Shinji are not a forward and a defender, and the stadium is not big, but the probability of the two appearing on the same local battlefield is very low.

What can compete is scoring goals.

Everyone is a vanguard.

If you don't talk about anything other than scoring goals, it's no different from being a hooligan.

Leverkusen aims to overtake Dortmund and return to the top spot.

However, Stuttgart is already the penultimate target in the league to avoid relegation.

Everyone has his own way.

But today's encounter determined the unity of goals.

Get all 3 points from your opponent.

Therefore, the game showed a trend of confrontation from the beginning.

The rhythm is explosive, the offensive is passionate, and the atmosphere is hot!

In the 8th minute of the game, when Hao Qiang passed the ball back to Augusto in front of the penalty area, the latter kicked the ball out to the right. When Castro assisted and advanced to the bottom to prepare for the pass, Hao Qiang immediately made a pass to the goalkeeper.

Movement towards the left flank of the penalty area.

Keesling glanced at Hao Qiang's running direction and immediately rushed towards the right side of the penalty area.

There is no doubt about the tacit understanding between the two.

Hao Qiang attracted the defensive attention, and Kiessling, who moved a step later, distanced himself from him and moved away from the densely defended area.

When Castro's cross ball flew to the front of the goal, Keesling volleyed the ball into the near corner of the goal!

The Bayer Arena was filled with cheers!

Pharmaceutical fans are excited.

"Kiesling also announced his official resurrection!"

"Although the combination of him and Hao Qiang is not the standard one high and one fast, there is never any conflict between the two."

"Yes, you don't have this feeling when Kiessling and Deldy York work together."

Conceding goals is nothing new for Stuttgart.

Otherwise they wouldn't be ranked second to last.

They fought hard to catch up, and the scene continued to be confrontational.

The defensive end resorted to foul tactics early.

In the 22nd minute, Stuttgart continued to attack, but Leverkusen's defense failed to stop the opponent and declared the city gate was lost.

1:1.

The intense pace of the game never changes.

15 minutes later, when Vidal received a pass from Kiessling outside the penalty area and completed a long shot.

Stuttgart goalkeeper Ulreich made a save. After the football was blocked, Hao Qiang rushed out of the crowd and headed the ball into the goal before it hit the ground.

The next second, he was kicked in the chest by center back Delpierre who raised his leg to clear the ball!

The moment Hao Qiang landed, the Bayer Arena was completely silent!

The Leverkusen fans were stunned, with fear in their eyes!

I was afraid that Hao Qiang would be injured as a result.

That would be terrible news for the club!

But Hao Qiang rolled around after landing and quickly turned over. He pointed his finger in the sky and ran to the sidelines to celebrate as if nothing had happened.

The Leverkusen fans suddenly roared hysterically, crazy!

Heynckes also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I was really scared to death.

The Stuttgart generals couldn't hide their shock when they looked at Hao Qiang's back.

Hao Qiang, who looks like a god of steel, has scored his 25th Bundesliga goal!

The Asian civil war lasted only half a game.

Shinji Okazaki was replaced at halftime.

Not long after the start of the second half, Stuttgart's all-out attack caught Leverkusen's defense off guard.

Wave after wave of fierce attacks, Leverkusen failed to organize a counterattack in a short period of time, but instead allowed Stuttgart to push forward and the offensive became more and more fierce.

In the 54th minute, Stuttgart's desperate offensive once again tied the score tenaciously!

2:2.

Leverkusen fans are excited.

But they didn't suppress it for too long.

The 65th minute of the game.

Hao Qiang and Keesling teamed up to hit the wall and advance to the front of the penalty area.

When the two attracted the opponent's defense to encircle and suppress them, Hao Qiang broke the predicament with a diagonal pass to the side and diverted the attack.

The two of them moved forward to prevent offside, and Castro sent another cross from the right.

This time, Hao Qiang and Kiesling's cross-running was a classic center-forward collaboration.

Disrupted the Stuttgart defender's marking.

Hao Qiang jumped high in front of the small penalty area and shook his head to attack the goal. The football refracted and flew into the upper right corner of the goal!

Scored twice!

After Hao Qiang scored, he turned around and waved to Kiessling and Castro. He smiled and hugged his running teammates.

Only one voice echoes in the Bayer Arena!

"Hao Qiang, Hao Qiang, so strong!"

Stuttgart fell behind for the third time and had no choice but to bite the bullet and attack.

But with the decline in physical fitness, they could no longer suppress Leverkusen.

In the 80th minute of the game, Leverkusen once again swept the frontcourt with a wave of fast breaks.

Hao Qiang was chased and intercepted, so he passed the ball diagonally to the left in the middle of the frontcourt.

This time, instead of playing on the right, I switch to the left.

Augusto responded.

Hao Qiang alone attracted at least three defensive players.

When Kiessling advanced and Augusto passed the ball, a simple cooperation broke through the Stuttgart defense.

Kiessling went to the meeting alone and calmly pushed and scored!

Leverkusen 4:2 Stuttgart!

The pharmaceutical fans who were almost losing their minds shouted to the sky!

"Leverkusen is invincible!"

"Leverkusen is invincible!"
