Chapter 491: Assists and Goals
Leverkusen's counterattack was very fast, especially under the shouts of the audience, and the execution of the players was extremely fast!
Bayern quickly returned to the defense, Boateng approached Kiessling, Lahm and Alba wanted to support, but Leverkusen had already come up on the two wings, and the two of them had to protect the two wings to avoid being penetrated by the opponent.
Yan Tao ran to his own backcourt as fast as he could, but instead of rushing towards Kiessling, who was in possession of the ball, he ran towards the goal. Neuer, who had already rushed outside the box, did not dare to run any further, because Kiessling had already won the ball, and if he ran too high, he could be lobbed, and he had been played by opponents like this before, so he had to be careful and run back quickly.
Sure enough, Kisling hung the door.
Manuel Neuer had already stepped back quickly, but it was still too late, and Kiessling seemed to see hope of scoring, and he had already thought of a celebration.
However, although the lob can tease the goalkeeper, the speed of the ball is not too fast, and it is still possible to save the day when encountering those fast defenders.
Unfortunately, Yan Tao in the Bayern team is such a defender. The 100-meter speed of 10.8 seconds was definitely no problem in entering the top five at that time, and he was even equivalent to the speed of those track and field athletes in Asia.
The ball fell in the penalty area and fell towards the goal, and Yan Tao had also run to the penalty area and ran towards the trajectory of the ball's fall.
Pep Guardiola stood nervously on the sidelines, looking at Yan Tao, Chen Hui also sweated for Yan Tao, and Zhang Shujie was also very nervous at the moment.
The commentator's tone also sped up a lot: "Yan Tao is about to catch up, can he save Bayern?"
The moment the ball fell into the goal, Yan Tao sprinted forward in the small penalty area, flew away, and used a "roundabout kick" similar to a martial arts star, and kicked the ball out with his right foot on the goal line!
"Yan Tao kicked the ball out, but the ball didn't go in! In this moment of extreme crisis, Yan Tao saved Bayern!"
Guardiola breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Hui secretly cheered for Yan Tao, and the Bayern fans in the stands had already applauded Yan Tao.
Yan Tao fell into the goal, the ball was still in the penalty area, not out of bounds, Neuer just ran back to the penalty area, there was a Rahm in front of him, Ram hurriedly ran up and wanted to kick the ball out of bounds, Yan Tao immediately said: "Captain, there is no Leverkusen behind him!"
Ram immediately understood what he meant, nodded, took control of the ball, and turned to observe the situation ahead.
Yan Tao stood up and ran out of the goal, Neuer gently patted him on the shoulder to show his gratitude, Yan Tao smiled, and then shouted at Ram: "Captain!"
Rahm originally wanted to give the ball to Boateng, but when he saw Yan Tao taking the initiative to ask for the ball, he passed it over, Yan Tao looked at the front after receiving the ball, and did not hand it to Kroos, but chose to boldly dribble forward!
With the advantage of body and speed, Yan Tao rushed to the midfield, he and Ribery made a two-by-one, passed Bender, and re-controlled the ball at his feet.
Picking up his right leg, Yan Tao passed the ball over.
Zhang Shujie leaned on Sparšić and stopped the ball, and now he was about five metres away from the penalty area, and in the position of leaning to the left, he aimed at the middle of the field, Muller and Kroos came up, and Lahm and Shakiri on the flanks also came up.
Sparšić thought he would pass the ball, but it was not very tight, Zhang Shujie felt his back loosen, and with a knock on the heel of his right foot, he knocked the ball through the gap between Sparšić's legs, and then turned and accelerated to shake off Spašić.
He sprinted and came directly to the penalty area, and then Spasic realized that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly chased Zhang Shujie, and even Lenatz came up to help.
Zhang Shujie didn't give them a chance to block, raised his left foot, and with a light push, Leno judged the right direction, but at this time, he could only hate that his arm was too short.
Leno didn't touch the ball and it grazed the inside of the far post and rolled into the back of the net.
1:1! Zhang Shujie equalized with his ninth league goal in the 23rd minute!
After scoring the goal, Zhang Shujie was the first to run to Yan Tao, and Yan Tao had at least half of the credit for this goal, not just an assist, but from the successful defense to the final counterattack!
"Zhang Shujie equalized the score for Bayern! Yan Tao passed the ball very beautifully, a very accurate long pass over the top. As the game progressed, Bayern gradually showed their strong team style, and Bayer Leverkusen could play a tough game in the coming games. ”
Chen Hui looked at the two friends who hugged each other and celebrated, and smiled and recorded the process of scoring the goal.
Zhang Shujie's goal undoubtedly gave Bayern a shot in the arm, and Bayer Leverkusen rarely attacked Bayern's second half after that, especially in the 30-meter area of the backfield, which was not once in the fifteen-minute period.
In the 40th minute, Zhang Shujie was tripped by Bonisch in the front, Bonisch also got a yellow card, and Bayern got a free kick.
Lahm crossed to the edge of the box, Muller flicked in front of the spot, and Ribery fired too high in the back.
During this time, Bayern's offensive was like a tide, and there was a lot of anti-guest momentum. Bayer Leverkusen coach Hyypia constantly commanded from the sidelines, telling the players not to shrink back to the defense, but to little effect.
Chen Hui looked at this scene and sighed to himself, I wonder if Bayern will score another one before the end of the first half.
In the forty-fourth minute of the game, Zhang Shujie was tripped again, this time it was Sam, he was not as lucky as Boschny, and he was very unlucky to receive the "Topaz Card", Bayern got a free kick in front of the field again, unlike the previous one, this one was not so far from the goal, about 28 meters, and the position was slightly off, but theoretically it was still possible to shoot.
Zhang Shujie stood in front of the ball, looking like he was going to hit the goal. However, Bayern's tall man still came to the penalty area, waiting for the opportunity, and Yan Tao, who is 1.86 meters tall, is also on the list.
Zhang Shujie withdrew four meters away, looked at the referee, and the referee also took a few steps back, and then blew the whistle.
Zhang Shujie helped run and get up.
He didn't shoot, he played the ball into the box and let his team-mates fight for the spot. I don't know if Zhang Shujie was intentional or unintentional, the ball fell on Yan Tao's head.
During the run, Yan Tao's legs jumped, and at the same time squeezed away Rolfes, who was sticking to him, smashed the ball his forehead, and the ball passed under Leno's armpit, bounced on the goal line, just past the leg stretched out by defender Donati, and bounced into the top of the net.
Scored!Yan Tao scored!2:1!Bayern beat Bayer Leverkusen away!
