I don't just score goals

Bayer Arena.

The contest between Leverkusen and Hoffenheim entered the second half.

Leverkusen's violent pace continued to bring irresistible pressure to Hoffenheim.

In the 51st minute of the game, Hao Qiang responded to the pass on the penalty area line. Barnetta, who cut inside, then sent a diagonal pass to the ground.

Hao Qiang covers and Keesling moves forward.

Hoffenheim's defense immediately retreated to surround Kiessling, but the latter kicked the ball back in response.

Vidal stepped in and just entered the penalty area to meet the ball and shoot hard!

The moment the football flew into Hoffenheim's goal.

The Bayer Arena suddenly burst into earth-shattering cheers!

Leverkusen fans almost lost their minds.

The entire stadium felt like the earth was shaking!

The Hoffenheim generals were stunned.

Not only are Leverkusen fierce and tough, but they are also very proficient in the simple coordination of one kick on the offensive end.

This is inseparable from Heynckes' training that lasted two seasons.

But now Heynckes is no longer the focus of Leverkusen's attention.

The Leverkusen generals roared and celebrated together, hugging each other hard and clenching fists to encourage each other.

When Hoffenheim recovered and started to launch a counterattack, Leverkusen took the initiative to shrink its formation.

In a fierce tit-for-tat confrontation, Leverkusen's quick counterattack was like a sharp knife coming out of its sheath.

In the 69th minute of the game, Hao Qiang joined forces with Kiessling in front of the center circle, forcing Firmino to make a mistake.

Leverkusen stole the ball behind the center line and launched a fast break on the spot.

Barnetta dribbled forward quickly, drove straight into the dangerous offensive area, and when he encountered an interception, he passed the ball diagonally to the middle.

Hao Qiang turned a blind eye when the football rolled in front of him and continued to move forward.

Football was left out!

Hoffenheim's defense was completely disrupted.

When the football rolled to the right side of the center circle, Keesling kicked the ball and passed it diagonally to the left rib area of ​​the penalty area.

Hao Qiang continued to push forward and just completed the anti-offside goal to form a single goal.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Hao Qiang was extremely calm and decisive!

He strode the ball past goalkeeper Stark from the outside and then pushed the ball into the empty goal to rewrite the score to 3:1!

The Leverkusen generals roared and chased Hao Qiang's back.

Leverkusen, who lost the ball first, scored three goals in a row!

Heynckes applauded from the sidelines and then made substitutions to strengthen defensive control.

When Leverkusen completely shifted to a defensive posture, Hoffenheim's offensive threat plummeted.

Attacking tough battles is not what they are good at.

The excitement of the game also began to decline.

In the end, Leverkusen defeated Hoffenheim 3:1 at home.

Winning 11 consecutive Bundesliga wins!

The German media can no longer speculate on the topic of Heynckes going to Allianz.

Leverkusen's performance proved that they have fully accepted the impact of Heynckes' imminent departure from a psychological level.

Recover from confusion and hesitation, and re-firm the direction!

Move towards the championship with a more confident attitude.

Dortmund also scored a terrifying 9-game winning streak.

The Bundesliga championship battle has entered the final minute!

Leverkusen left for Portugal in mid-week without much time to rest.

The Europa League has reached the semi-final stage.

Heynckes doesn't do what he wants at this moment.

Comprehensive competition for the championship has become the general trend.

The Europa League quarter-finals and the semi-finals are completely different concepts.

The top eight can focus a little bit on the league. By the top four, it is no longer possible to distinguish between the league and the European war.

Meet again with group stage rival Porto in the Europa League semi-finals.

Porto's young coach Villa-Boas is known as Mourinho II.

Now it seems to be copying Mourinho's past trajectory, hoping to become famous in the Europa League.

Compared with Leverkusen's exposure in the Bundesliga, Porto is still slightly inferior despite being a giant in the Portuguese Super League.

The European war is the stage where many of their players have become famous.

It was Hao Qiang's performance in the Europa League last season that really attracted the attention of many teams in Europe's top leagues.

Many players in the Porto team are also on the radar of top European teams.

Young coach Andre Villas-Boas stood in the coaching area of ​​the home team at the Dragon Stadium. Dressed in a suit and ties, he showed off his true qualities as a handsome man.

Mourinho not only created a glorious history in Porto, but also started the Portuguese coaching style.

The attire of the Porto coach will also be an eye-catching sight in the scene.

The Porto fans showed fanatical passion, and the players on the field all looked confident and full of fighting spirit.

The strength of Porto's lineup, which started with 433, cannot be underestimated.

Goalkeeper: Elton.

Defenders: Sapunaru, Rolando, Otamendi, Pereira.

Midfielder: Fernando, Moutinho, Freddy Guarin.

Forwards: Hulk, Falcao, Rodriguez.

Leverkusen plays away from home, and Heynckes still hopes to play a steady style.

So they started with 4231.

Goalkeeper: Adler.

Defenders: Castro, Schwab, Friedrich, Kadlec.

Midfielder: Augusto, Rolfes, Vidal, Reinerts, Barnetta.

Forward: Hao Qiang.

With the referee's whistle, the two teams officially started the battle.

It is understandable that Leverkusen was a little conservative in the away game.

It is puzzling that Porto also behaved a little cautiously at home.

Maybe it's because the two teams had a confrontation in the group stage, or maybe it's because we're in the semifinals, so be careful.

Leverkusen mainly seizes counterattack and fast break opportunities.

Therefore, positional battles are relatively simple.

Hao Qiang, with a single arrow, roams freely in the frontcourt, receiving passes from his teammates at any time.

And his threat was something that the Porto generals could not ignore.

In the 7th minute of the game, Hao Qiang received a direct pass from Vidal in the middle of the frontcourt. When he touched the ball, he protected the ball and changed its direction to avoid Moutinho's pressing.

When he suddenly stepped forward to speed up the ball, he got stuck first and Fernando lost his turning route.

Fernando directly grabbed him and pulled him to the ground.

Hao Qiang fell to the ground without changing his expression. He quickly got up and saw the referee showing Fernando a yellow card.

The referee's enforcement standards are obviously a bit strict.

I don’t really want the game to get out of control.

After all, when it comes to the semi-finals, the game is attracting everyone's attention.

Leverkusen's overall offensive threat is still relatively low.

Either Banetta and Augusto cross from the wing, or Vidal steps in from behind and launches a long shot.

Due to the blockade of Fernando and Guarin's defensive midfielders, Vidal's long-range shot poses little threat.

Hao Qiang's movement in the penalty area to grab points also depends on the quality of the cross.

The young Otamendi cannot cause him trouble in the air defense.

But Rolando caused him some trouble.

Porto will focus mainly on the defensive end, and the offense mainly relies on the individual impact of players on both wings.

Hulk, who is as strong as an ox, and Rodriguez, who is agile and agile, fly together.

The threat of dribbling is visible, but it is not enough to ride a thousand miles and go straight to the yellow dragon.

Hao Qiang increasingly faced Rolando in the penalty area.

The two collided repeatedly, as if tit for tat.

Otamendi was watching the show without much pressure.

The pace of the game was tepid.

Neutral fans and spectators did not understand Porto's performance.

"It's understandable that Leverkusen would be more conservative when playing away games, but Porto feels obviously cowardly!"

"Yeah, if they don't pursue winning the game at home, will they have the confidence to go to the Bayer Arena and eliminate Leverkusen?"

"Leverkusen has won 11 consecutive games in the Bundesliga, and the home court is terrifying!"

Villas-Boas looked serious as he stood on the sidelines watching the game, his team failed to play its own style.

The fear is too strong.

Hao Qiang, who has become the representative of the new generation of World of Warcraft in European football, is only one person in the final analysis.

It is natural to tighten the blockade on him.

But Vidal's late insertion can also drive Porto's entire midfield to retreat, even a little panic, which will inevitably cause some confusion!

Leverkusen obviously did not exert full strength on the offensive end.

However, Porto, who is still in trouble, lacks enough confidence to cope with the current situation, which is actually not very stressful.

This is a reflection of the team's high mental pressure and overly conservative mentality.

Villas-Boas planned to give the team an ideological education lesson during halftime.

Liberate your nature and release your firepower!

But just as the first half was about to end, Leverkusen made a fast break from the right side of the frontcourt.

Augusto did not rush Pereira, but decisively made a pass.

Hao Qiang, who was originally entangled with Rolando, suddenly retreated and immediately changed direction to attack Otamendi's side.

Otamendi was actually very relaxed in the first half, but now he was suddenly attacked by Hao Qiang, and he was at a loss.

The football also happened to fly into the sky near him.

When Hao Qiang kicked off the ground and jumped into the air, Otamendi took off again and his momentum was already much weaker!

It's like being hit by Hao Qiang in the air!

Hao Qiang's powerful header was completed flawlessly.

The football flew directly to the upper right corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Elton flew to the limit to save but failed.

After Hao Qiang completed his header, he collided with Otamendi in the air.

After landing, he stabilized his center of gravity and ran to the away team's fans' stands to celebrate without looking back.

Otamendi fell to the ground.

Rolando looked unwilling!

Fooled!

In the first half of his struggle with Hao Qiang, there is no need to look at the outcome of each confrontation. Hao Qiang's failure to hit a threatening shot means that his defense was very successful.

But at the most critical moment, Hao Qiang took the initiative to attack Otamendi, which shows that Hao Qiang had a premeditated confrontation with Rolando.

Heynckes is not surprised that Hao Qiang often has his own ideas when playing center.

The tradition for offensive players is to avoid the defensive players and kick.

It's like a game of cat and mouse.

But a center like Hao Qiang is a different kind.

When Vidal's back-breaking threat is contained, it is almost impossible for him to get the penetrating threat from his teammates from the center.

Therefore there is only a chance to pass the ball.

Rolando has stronger air defense than Otamendi.

Hao Qiang knew that there were tigers in the mountains and headed to Hu Mountain.

No matter whether he wins or loses in this personal confrontation, Hao Qiang can achieve his goal.

If he wins, he can push it head-on.

If he can't win and gain a clear advantage, he can paralyze his opponent.

The goal just now came from the latter.

Leverkusen fans are excited.

Watching Hao Qiang standing on the sidelines with his hands on his hips and his head held high, he looked confident.

Leverkusen seems to have seen the wonderful scene of the team entering the Europa League final!

"Haha, it looked like there was no chance, but Hao Qiang still scored!"

"Whoever advances to the final between Leverkusen and Porto will basically determine who between Hao Qiang and Falcao will win the Europa League Golden Boot!"

"The golden boot will definitely go to Hao Qiang, and the champion will be Leverkusen!"

The joy brought by the goal made Leverkusen fans very optimistic.

Villas-Boas clapped his hands on the sidelines to boost the team's morale, but he was muttering in his heart.

Now, Leverkusen's goal can be regarded as helping Porto break the shackles.

No need to be bound by any mental or emotional constraints.

If you can't win at home, why should you advance to the finals?

To be fair, Porto's competitive situation in the Portuguese Super League is much easier than that of Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

Porto is waiting for work at home again.

Therefore, their performance in the first half could be described as a missed opportunity and they did not perform at their true level.

Football matches often do the same.

Not every game has the best performance from both teams.

Leverkusen walked into the dressing room with a one-goal lead.

The whole team is filled with confidence that they will win.

Although Heynckes did not relax, he also showed optimism about the game.

After all, Porto did not play a threatening offensive that Leverkusen was very afraid of.

After halftime adjustments, the two teams returned to the court to change sides and fight again.

After the kick-off of the second half, Leverkusen's attitude remained unchanged.

But Porto has undergone a huge change in attitude.

The overall formation presses forward, and the offensive end begins to actively link up with the quick support of the midfielder and the two full-backs.

Leverkusen's defense was under huge pressure at the moment, and there were even signs of chaos.

In the 50th minute of the game, when Falcao went to support Hulk, the latter cut inside and quickly divided the ball.

Sapunalu from the right made an assist and passed the ball across the penalty area in front of the baseline.

Falcao stepped forward to respond, and when he touched the ball, he dribbled forward and Friedrich quickly moved towards the baseline.

But in terms of rhythm, Friedrich had fallen into passivity.

When Falcao suddenly spiked the ball and changed direction to pass behind Friedrich, Friedrich twisted around and subconsciously extended his legs to steal the ball, which was also obviously slower.

The ball missed but brought down Falcao.

The referee blew the whistle decisively and pointed at the penalty spot.

Leverkusen's generals are in dire straits.

Everyone looked at each other, reminding each other to cheer up.

They didn't know what happened in the home team's locker room at halftime.

But Porto's performance after the second half was completely different from the first half.

The momentum, posture, and style are all completely new!

Falcao took the penalty kick and scored it instantly.

The Porto fans burst into cheers at the Dragon Stadium.

"Finally, Porto wakes up!"

"Falcao scored his 12th Europa League goal, only one goal away from Leverkusen's Hao Qiang!"

"The battle for the Golden Boot has been moved to the back, now all we have to do is advance to the finals!"

Porto is racing against time. They need to win at home to establish an advantage in advancing to the finals.

Heynckes' expression changed slightly.

Porto's goal is not terrible.

The scary thing is the attitude after scoring the goal!

They were not satisfied with a draw, and they did not even feel that equalizing the score was something worthy of celebration!

Just like a well-trained army performing a mission, there is no room for relaxation until the goal is achieved.

Villas-Boas jumped up on the sidelines, clenched his fists and roared, very much like the once arrogant Mourinho.

Heynckes gestured to the team.

Be more vigilant and control the situation more closely!

In fact, Heynckes is still unwilling to speed up the game in the away game.

Leverkusen would rather have the decisive battle at home than overturn the general policy of pre-match tactical deployment at this time.
