I don't just score goals

After Cologne's tragic reversal, although there was still a little time in the game, Cologne did not sink the ship.

A team that always insists on playing defensive counterattack will find it difficult to create an earth-shattering threat in positional battles.

This kind of critical moment does not belong to their kind of team.

Moreover, the comfortable psychological state of successfully relegating did not make them struggle too much.

When the game ended, the Leverkusen players came together in silence.

They couldn't help but put their arms around each other's shoulders, showing the outside world a scene of unity, standing in a row like a steel city wall in front of the away team's fans' stands.

12 consecutive wins!

Even they themselves may feel that this is the limit.

But this is not enough, not enough!

If they fail to overtake Dortmund in the standings, then no matter how many consecutive wins they win, they will be meaningless.

The Leverkusen fans cheered, applauded, and cheered for them, and at the same time, they invariably showed emotions.

It is almost impossible to demand the team to perform better.

But at this time, they were expecting a miracle to happen.

Leverkusen is only 1 point behind Dortmund.

But there are only two rounds left in the league.

If Dortmund can also win 12 consecutive games, then the Hornets will win the Bundesliga championship this season!

When Hao Qiang was interviewed after the game, his face showed a hint of fatigue, but his expression was firm from beginning to end.

"We have no choice but to win.

We want nothing more than a championship."

Hao Qiang, who simply accepted the post-match interview, left quietly.

His words succinctly and concisely expressed the attitude of the Leverkusen dressing room.

Now he is qualified to convey a message to the outside world on behalf of the entire Leverkusen dressing room.

And everyone in the locker room has a tacit understanding that he is the centerpiece.

The German media are all marveling at the cruelty of this season’s title race!

Kicker: Bayer Leverkusen won 12 consecutive victories, and Dortmund won 10 consecutive victories. Above the limit, whoever can persist will be crowned the champion!

Bild: No matter who wins the championship between Dortmund and Leverkusen, they have proven that they are worthy of the championship!

All Leverkusen matches in April are over.

Five wins in the league, plus a victory and goal in the Europa League.

Hao Qiang received generous points rewards.

But it was only possible for him to draw ten consecutive waves in two waves.

Hao Qiang was very satisfied after winning the lottery.

Henry, Pirlo, Villa.

Counting the three remaining gold cards, there is plenty of ammunition!

Entering May.

Final season.

Leverkusen took the lead in facing the challenge of Porto at home.

Europa League semi-final second leg.

Both Heynckes and Villas-Boas stated before the game that they would pursue victory in this game.

There is nothing wrong with Porto. The score of 5:5 at home means that if they cannot capture the Bayer Arena, they will be blocked from the final.

Although Leverkusen talks about competing for victory, Heynckes is very aware that the team's consumption in continuous battles is huge, and the pressure of competing for the championship also forces them to grit their teeth and persevere.

Compared with Porto, which has no changes in its starting lineup, Leverkusen has made changes in its technical and tactical play and formation.

First issue 4231.

Goalkeeper: Adler.

Defenders: Castro, Schwab, Friedrich, Kadlec.

Midfielder: Sam, Rolfes, Vidal, Lars Bender, Barnetta.

Forward: Hao Qiang.

When the second leg of the semi-finals kicked off at the Bayer Arena, Villas-Boas, who was standing in a suit and tie on the sidelines, realized that Leverkusen's main focus at home was to prevent counterattacks.

Leverkusen's overall formation shrinks in the midfield and backcourt, and Hao Qiang, the single arrow, also actively retreats to assist the midfielder in defense, often moving behind the center circle.

On the contrary, when attacking, Barnetta on the left and Sam on the right are more threatening.

Heynckes' tactical intentions are very targeted.

The center is blocked, forcing Porto to attack the wings.

Leverkusen's counterattack focused on the wing, and the tit-for-tat confrontation was all a premeditated attack.

When Porto got better and started to pose a threat, Leverkusen's quick counterattack also presented a strong threat.

In the 10th minute, Hao Qiang received a pass from Vidal behind the center circle.

He was pressed by Fernando, retreated with the ball, and then hit the wall with Lars Bender to complete the turn.

Pass the ball diagonally to the frontcourt before it passes the center line.

Barnetta had already started, running from the wing to the ball and watching Sam's movement.

When Porto's defense retreated, Banetta sent a precise through ball.

Sam cut inside and touched the ball in the middle of the penalty area. He completed the adjustment in one step and immediately shot the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!

The Bayer Arena was filled with cheers!

The Europa League final that Leverkusen longed for seems to be just around the corner.

Leverkusen 1:0 Porto.

Boas's face dropped like water.

The 5:5 score in the first round taught him a lesson about being severely beaten by European football.

If Porto had surrendered at 3:1, perhaps Porto would have already entered the final with one foot.

But there was a moment of arrogance in the victory, and he ruined the good situation with his own hands.

Now Porto has to pay for his strategic mistakes.

However, Porto was very resilient and kept a calm mentality despite being behind in the score.

Perhaps it was the fact that they penetrated Leverkusen's goal five times in the first round that doubled their confidence.

Goal?

Not a problem.

Porto's attack was full of aggression.

The defensive end also resorted to simple and crude tactical fouls.

When Hao Qiang, the fulcrum, is a little impetuous due to frequent fouls, the quality of Leverkusen's counterattack will naturally decline.

In the 28th minute of the game, Porto's attacks from the wing became more and more frequent, causing Leverkusen's penalty area to become chaotic.

When Hulk made a powerful pass and flew to the goal, Friedrich blocked Falcao. Schwab was alert to Rodriguez who was cutting in to outflank Rodriguez, but he touched the ball with his outstretched clearance foot.

The football refracted and flew into Leverkusen's goal!

Make your own mistake!

Leverkusen fans looked stunned.

this?!

Porto 1:1 Leverkusen.

Although the current score will still be that Leverkusen will occupy the promotion position, Heynckes looks worried.

It can be seen with the naked eye that Porto is gradually leading Leverkusen in terms of game speed.

If it weren't for Leverkusen's defensive counterattack, I'm afraid their defense would have been broken!

It is easy to imagine that in the next trend, Porto will gradually expand its advantage.

Hao Qiang is also able to see this.

One step away from the finals.

Hao Qiang knew that he could not hesitate in this game.

If you want to be invincible just by serving as a fulcrum, I'm afraid it's fanciful.

Porto will definitely do everything they can to advance to the Europa League final!

Hao Qiang decisively closed his eyes and entered the system.

Open the warehouse and use De Rossi's gold card decisively.

Although he will not retreat to play as a defensive midfielder, he must enhance his mobility and interception quality in defense, as well as improve his confrontation skills when encountering defenses.

Porto's morale was boosted and they continued to put pressure on Leverkusen.

Hao Qiang turned on the horizontal sweep mode.

A storm swept through the midfield.

Porto's offensive threat is gradually increasing.

But they are also gradually losing control of Hao Qiang in defense.

In the 38th minute of the game, when Hao Qiang pressed for the second time on Pereira who was assisting, the latter was slightly hesitant to control the ball, but Hao Qiang made a decisive move.

Pereira took control of the ball and moved toward the center. Hao Qiang twisted around and intercepted the ball successfully.

After stealing the ball, he quickly passed the ball diagonally to find Sam who was advancing on the right.

Porto's three remaining defenders immediately turned around and retreated.

Sam's quick dribbling and advancement brought out the depth of the attack.

Barnetta cuts inside from a distance, and Hao Qiang follows up in the middle.

Porto's back line retreated into the penalty area.

Sam was on the edge of the penalty area on the right, but he passed the ball in an inverted triangle back to the top right side of the penalty area.

Otamendi immediately stepped forward to press.

When Hao Qiang touched the ball, he dribbled forward to the right and just passed by Otamendi.

As soon as he entered the penalty area, he kicked and hit the goal!

The football passed through like a white rainbow and went straight into the upper left corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Elton's save was extremely helpless!

All Leverkusen fans cheered wildly!

"Hao Qiang steals the ball, Hao Qiang initiates the attack, and Hao Qiang scores the goal to end the attack!"

"The battle between Hao Qiang and Falcao for the Europa League Golden Boot should no longer be in suspense!"

"Pharmaceutical companies hope for glory, but the key lies in Hao Qiang!"

Boas seemed expressionless, but secretly he clenched his fists.

Staring at Hao Qiang, I almost gritted my teeth.

The Porto generals looked at Hao Qiang, who had set off a roar like a tsunami in the celebration, with complicated expressions.

It is well known that Hao Qiang can score goals.

But just now Hao Qiang went from stealing to instigating, then rushing in to complete the breakthrough and then hit a fatal blow.

This horse riding is off the charts!

Is there anything else he can't do?

Hao Qiang's goal relieved the team's pressure.

Let the tense mentality of teammates relax a little.

Heynckes applauded and nodded.

Hao Qiang can score key goals, and this key is reflected in the impact on the game situation and the overall situation.

If Porto scores the first goal to complete the lead, Leverkusen's mentality and state will become more passive.

At this time, Leverkusen rewritten the score to 2:1, and the situation changed drastically.

To a certain extent, it erased Porto's previously established advantages in scene and psychology.

Before the end of the half, Leverkusen also improved its defensive aggressiveness on the defensive end.

Porto failed to seize the opportunity to score from the set piece.

The half game is over.

Leverkusen 2:1 Porto.

Back in the dressing room, Leverkusen has only one task: rest.

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

The two teams went back and forth for 10 minutes before Porto came into full force.

Showing an almost violent attitude, he repeatedly attacked Leverkusen's defense.

In the 58th minute, Guarin entered the penalty area and received a cross from Rodriguez from the wing. He wanted to stop the ball and adjust.

Facing Schwab's pressing, he subconsciously spiked the ball to the right.

As soon as he finished the action, he knew that he had smashed the ball hard!

I thought I was going to lose the ball, but someone grabbed the ball from the side!

Falcao!

Friedrich immediately pressed forward, and Falcao smashed the ball with his feet to dodge. He made a slight adjustment with his right foot and then shot hard with his leg.

The football flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal!

Adler made a futile save.

The audience at the Bayer Arena became nervous again.

Porto 2:2 Leverkusen!

Porto fans cheered.

As long as they can beat Leverkusen away from home, Porto will advance to the final!

The Leverkusen generals also applauded each other to boost morale.

Hao Qiang stood in the middle circle with a calm expression.

Keep on stud!

Close your eyes and enter the system.

Open the warehouse.

Use Essien!

Porto only needed one more goal.

So there is no need to be overly aggressive.

There is still plenty of game time.

When Hao Qiang once again strengthened midfield interception and pressing, Leverkusen continued to strengthen its defense.

Ballack and Reinertz appeared one after another.

Heynckes chose the latter between risking his life to score one more goal or defending Porto.

After all, Leverkusen still has a place for substitutions. If the situation goes bad, Kiessling will be thrown into the field.

Hao Qiang was also present.

It can be considered that there is still preparation for risking one's life.

Barnetta and Sam exit.

Leverkusen continues to play a 451 formation.

However, the midfield structure has completely changed.

After 70 minutes of the game, Porto began to enter a desperate rhythm.

Because they discovered that after Leverkusen made substitutions to strengthen its defense, the defense in the midfield and backfield was extremely tough!

Hard and strong!

Everywhere you look, they are all tough guys!

Leverkusen's muscular midfield directly caused great trouble to Porto's offensive organization.

In the 74th minute of the game, when Porto's wing attack was frustrated and turned to the center, Moutinho was in trouble when facing Ballack and Bender.

He had just taken possession of the ball and was about to turn around, but saw Hao Qiang rushing in and stretching his legs from behind to steal the ball.

Clean and neat.

After knocking the ball away, Hao Qiang immediately turned around and ran forward.

Ballack passed the ball, Vidal passed the ball, and the football rolled into Hao Qiang's path.

Hao Qiang crossed the ball to kill half the ball, and Porto's defense was a little panicked.

Fernando and Guarin were left behind by Hao Qiang, and Rolando and Otamendi in front did not dare to attack.

All the way back.

Hao Qiang's speed with the ball is getting faster and faster.

The look is firm and fierce!

He has no support!

Therefore, Porto's defense wants to compress the space and block his route in the penalty area.

But Hao Qiang quickly dribbled to the top of the penalty area and shot decisively!

The football flew up without a trace of spin, crossed a shocking parabola, and then hit the crossbar on the upper right side of the goal as it fell.

Bang!

The football that hit the lower edge of the crossbar refracted and still flew into the goal!

Leverkusen fans stood up and roared!

Hao Qiang rushed to the sidelines and knelt down to celebrate, his face still full of determination and domineering!

Villas-Boas was stunned, the scalps of the Porto generals were numb, and the fans' brains were blank!

"Hao Qiang has no solution for this ball!"

"Too domineering!"

"The 19th goal in the Europa League! Hao Qiang is such a grand occasion man!"

Heynckes had a look of surprise on his face.

Unable to contain my inner excitement.

Although he once won the Champions League, that was more than ten years ago.

Although his relationship with Leverkusen has become tenuous, he will still have a place in the history books.

Leverkusen only has 15 minutes left to advance to the Europa League final!

Hao Qiang hugged his teammates during the celebration.

He didn't say anything more, but his confident look infected every teammate.

Porto kicked off, and Villas-Boas recovered and made substitutions.

James Rodriguez appears.

But it still doesn't help.

Facing Leverkusen's steel defense, Porto's talent cannot break Leverkusen's toughness!

Every time Hao Qiang counterattacked and dribbled forward, he also began to be sniped.

Having learned their lesson, Porto's defense could only try to contain his threat by pressing close and sniping.

In the 88th minute of the game, Otamendi's tackle on Hao Qiang caused him to end the game red!

Leverkusen is sure to win!

Although Hao Qiang was fine and turned a blind eye to Otamendi, Otamendi looked at him with hatred in his eyes when he came off the field.

After two rounds of fighting, he was beaten to a pulp by Hao Qiang.

Porto's momentum was over, and the last few minutes seemed to be struggling in confusion.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Leverkusen fans burst into cheers that shook the world!

Leverkusen 3:2 Porto.

The total score is 8:7!

Advance to the Europa League final!
