Chapter 425 Paying Tribute to the Classics, Perfectly Reproduced (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
LaMelo calmly took the ball wide and then kicked it to Ze Roberto, and Bayer Leverkusen dodged.
"Nedved, almost rewrote the score to 2:4,"
"He's too focused on angles, and if the ball goes a centimeter to the left, it's probably going in. The foot was too hard, and although Maciegiani judged the right direction, he didn't have time to save. Bayer Leverkusen's goal is estimated to have a home attribute......"
'Now the ball is at the feet of Ze Roberto and he has a nice feint that goes past Almeida, but before it passes, Almeida fouls again.
'Set pieces.'
"The game time is running out in the first half, and I guess the game is over after this set-piece."
The live camera kept replaying Nedved's shot just now, and Nedved ran back to his own half at this time, and it didn't look like he had recovered from the middle post just now. He must have been annoyed to miss this opportunity.
But he didn't expect that just before he returned to the big penalty area, Zheng Zhi drove the ball out of the set-piece on the left side, and the ball fell directly behind him! Beinrich rushed behind him and Favali and before the ball fell, he crossed with his right foot!
"Beautiful!"
It was so fast that even Kirsten, who was outflanked in the middle, almost couldn't react, but subconsciously stretched his leg to block, didn't block the right part, and the ball grazed the right post and rolled out.
The Leverkusen fans in the stands had just raised their hands and fell down in frustration, and the cheers came to an abrupt end. It's really like a roller coaster, and a minute ago I was scared out of a cold sweat, and in an instant Leverkusen won another chance to score.
"Ouch!"
"It's just a little bit off!"
'Kirsten's block didn't score.
"Otherwise, the score will be tied."
'At the end of the first half, the score was still 2-3 and both sides missed a chance to change the score, with both Nedved and Kirsten squandering a chance.
Captain Kirsten shook his head helplessly and gave a thumbs up to Beinrich, who was sorry not to score the goal, and although he had scored a penalty before, he was hungry for a goal in the open game......
If he was a few years younger, he might have caught up, and he felt that he was still half a beat slower, unable to keep up with the pace of young people. Recently, I always feel that my pace is not fast enough, and I have missed too many opportunities, and I don't know if it is because I am old. Especially in this game, the opportunity came out, but not only did it not take it, but it also seemed a little difficult in the confrontation, these Italian defenders were really too difficult, like ghosts.
He glanced at young Neuville, and then walked over and took Neuville to his side.
"Oliver,"
'We can't play like that, we don't have an advantage in the box, we have to pull out and change positions a lot, it's hard for us to get the spot in the box, I'm fed up with those guys.
The captain said so, how much better can Neuville be, Kirsten has grabbed a few chances, but he has no chances.
"We have to change our tactics."
Kirsten rambled on and on, and when he returned to the dressing room, he exchanged views with Worrall. Worrall was aware of the problem, of course, and throughout the first half, there was little threat from wide crosses, and the opposition even allowed them to cross.
Beinrich also lost faith in the cross.
"Maybe we should switch to the middle more often."
Zheng Zhi said:
'No, no, no, we should keep playing on the wings, they didn't think we were a threat on the wings, but in reality we didn't notice, we were crossing in the wrong way, we should have played the ball on the ground, behind us.'
"They're tall and they don't have a good boccia ball. Giving up the ball, we use our speed and movement to bring them down, but in the middle, they have always been heavily defensive, we have to play the wings alive so that they have to divide their forces to defend, and when our two full-backs come up, their central defense will definitely be dispersed. ”
"As long as we are resolute enough in attack, we can make them unbearable both on the flanks and in the middle."
"They were almost crippled by us at the end of the first half, just a breath away." Zheng Zhi shrugged his shoulders and pushed for the offense.
"But don't forget, they also hit the goalpost, we pressed too high, and the back is dangerous."
'That's for sure, it's not a wooden guy, it's impossible to keep the balance between attack and defence, if you don't put enough pressure on them defensively, it's hard for us to create chances, but if we don't attack, we don't even have a chance to score, so we don't have a choice, even if we know they're targeting our back.
There was a tactical discussion in the dressing room.
"The defense is not safe, if you give them a foul, I am afraid that the set-piece defense will be ......"
"That guy is horrible." Goalkeeper Matisek also opened his mouth, and now his mind is still full of Mihajlovic.
"Adam,"
'If he's really going to score, there's no way around it, you just have to concentrate and do your best.' Worrall finally opened his mouth, and in front of the disciples, his presence was a little low. Normally, at this time in the locker room, the head coach is the only focus, but now his disciples are directly discussing tactics, so many people you say a word, how to unify? The rookie coach is still a rookie coach, and he lacks control.
He still tried to control the situation and obviously he had thought through how to play in the second half.
"Lucio,"
"When the team presses the attack, you have to stand behind Zheng to protect the space behind him, and at the same time keep an eye on Salas and don't let him rush with the ball."
"Marcus, you're keeping an eye on Boksic."
"Offensively, I think Zheng's idea is very reasonable, we don't have a choice."
In the end, Worrall still chose to believe in Zheng Zhi. If this is spread from the locker room, it is estimated that Worrall's popularity will fall, because this is not his tactic, but Zheng Zhi's......
On the other side of the dressing room, Eriksen was different from Worrall in that he didn't give his players a chance to say anything, summing up the first half first.
"The offense was impeccable, but the defense was terrible."
'We gave them too many chances and didn't follow through on the defensive tactics that we had in place before the game. Especially the couple of long-range shots we couldn't stop them at all, if we could have stopped them in the first place, we wouldn't have conceded a second goal, and we just stood up but didn't hold the area, and the opposition's forward and running made us look like a clumsy vintage car. If we don't run as well as them, then we lose defensively. ”
'We had a two-goal advantage and now we have one goal left, so I hope we can always see that danger is approaching and not that we are leading.
"I don't want the next day's newspaper to say that we were beaten by two young men, and that's a joke to you. To make matters worse, it was the entire Argentine midfield and the Italian defence. ”
Eriksen shrugged his shoulders and singled out the Argentine midfielder and the Italian defence. Veron, Simeone and Almeida are Argentina's main midfielders, and of course this is lethal. As for the Italian line? Except for Mikhailovich, it's not counted.
This......
When everyone thinks of Zheng Zhi and Barak, they really don't feel good in their hearts, how about it, they can't lose to two little kids?
'We have to remember that defense wins everything.'
"Then we'll see if we can score another goal."
……
……
Yibian fought again, and neither side made any substitutions. However, on Lazio's side, Mancini, Stankovic, and Inzaghi Jr. are all warming up, and they are all attacking players. Seeing this posture, Worrall was slightly stunned, thinking that Eriksen was thinking about continuing to strengthen the attack and wanting to win the game away from home?
At the moment, I can't help but take a look at Leverkusen's bench, and there are new signings such as Ponte and Burdaric on the bench, but they can't be used for the time being, unless they can't attack for a long time, and then let the two of them play, especially Burdaric, who is 1.87 meters tall, can pose a high-altitude threat to Lazio's defense.
But what can I do now, the score is behind, no matter what adjustments Eriksen makes, his team only has one way to attack, and it is useless to think so much.
Neuville drove the ball, captain Kirsten quickly handed the ball to Ballack, Ballack passed back to Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi divided the side, the tactical thinking was quite unified, Leverkusen's two sides pressed up in time, Lazio sat firmly in the backfield defense, and soon Beinrich played a wall-to-wall cooperation with Kovac on the right side, and sent a ball to Lazio's big penalty area!
Kirsten Lisso rushed forward, sure enough, the tall Nesta was a little passive in defense, wanting to jam Kirsten's position, but Kirsten was too flexible, and took the first step to cut the ball with the outside of his right foot, Nesta could only block the inside with his body, not letting Kirsten rush in, Kirsten was also uncomfortable, Nesta squeezed him all the way out, turned to the right after a small half-circle, and knocked the ball back to Ballack in front of the penalty area with difficulty, but Ballack was also stared at closely by Simeone, he just stopped the ball, Simeone was in front of him, and Ballack took advantage of the right foot to try to dunk the ball to the left, but Simeone also stopped at the same time and was not thrown away by Ballack.
"Michael!"
Zheng Zhi came again, coming from the right side, but Veron was inseparable, he didn't adjust directly, rushed to the ball and pushed it with the arch of his right foot, and hit the ball back to Kirsten!
Kirsten swept the trend! The ball slid across the line of the small penalty area, and no one touched the ball!
"Good shot!"
"It's a pity that no one touched the ball."
"It's a huge threat if someone blocks it, Neuville probably didn't understand Kirsten's intentions, but I guess Maciegiani, Nesta and Mihajlovic were all taken aback."
"The ball was taken by Pancarlo, a long pass to Salas, but Hap didn't let Salas get the ball, he gave the ball to Lamelo, the ball is still Leverkusen's, Zheng Zhi has returned to the midfield to receive the ball, his movement range is too large, this kind of running range obviously makes Veron unbearable, this is what Veron can't learn, he didn't keep up this time, Zheng Zhi directly transferred the ball to Beinrich, the landing point is fantastic, cross!"
"It's still horizon!"
Kirsten, a buckle of his heel, took a step back flexibly, Nesta rushed too hard, although he did not lose his balance, but still let Kirsten throw off a body, but Kirsten's left foot could not be adjusted, Mihajlovic sealed, he could only flick the outside instep, the ball rolled to Ze Roberto's feet, Almeida stretched out his left foot menacingly, only to see Ze Roberto lightly step on his left foot, the ball jumped, just dodging the reckless blow of Almeida's right foot, However, he couldn't flash the shooting angle, and his left foot simply pushed forward, LaMelo plugged in from the left, and after catching up with the ball, he pumped a kick, like a pass and shot, and went straight to the small penalty area!
"Good shot!"
In the small penalty area, Mihajlovic and Neuvir both stretched out their legs at the same time, but the latter's legs were obviously half shorter, but Mihajlovich's right foot picked the ball first, the ball bounced up on his right foot, and flew high into the sky, Mihalovic was not flustered at all, his head was thrown to the right front, and the ball was directly set at the feet of Pankaro, and the danger was cleared steadily.
He is a world-class centre-back, and he is able to be so calm in the face of this sudden danger.
Pancaro won the ball on the right side, and Veron hurried back, but Zheng Zhi behind him followed closely, but there was no way, because there was no one to pass, and it was no problem to give the ball to Veron. But what he didn't expect was that when Veron received the ball, he tried to deceive Zheng Zhi by dangling to the left, but when he reversed his body and came back, Zheng Zhi stole the ball from the right side.
This trick is so old-fashioned! From the moment Veron raised his right leg and boasted, he stepped on what Veron would do next.
Zheng Zhi rushed forward with the ball like a fly, leaving Veron behind him with a confused look.
"Juan, defend yourself!"
Eriksen shouted anxiously off the field, Veron's loss of a goal is really rare, but if the ball is lost, it is lost, he has to chase it back? Why did you forget it again? Veron, who is used to playing in the front midfield, is still not used to chasing back to mark defense. Zheng Zhi quickly rushed to about fifteen meters in front of the penalty area, Simeone was embarrassed at this time, next to Ballack, if he went forward, he would have to let him go, but Zheng Zhi would definitely pass the ball. Just as he was hesitating, Nedved came from the left and quickly approached Zheng Zhi, Simeone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time Veron's stupid hat finally ran back.
Zheng Zhi of course caught a glimpse of Nedved, it was too simple to deal with, since Nedved came over, he directly distributed the ball to Kovac, who was inserted, and Nedved ran away in vain.
What's worse is that when Kovac came up, Beinrich quickly inserted it into the bottom line on the right, and Lazio's defense on the right was wide open!
It's Favalli's turn and I don't know what to do! Nesta quickly moved closer to him, only for Beinrich to slip the ball down the middle, and Kirsten turned to the left to get rid of Nesta!
Seeing that it was about to form a one-on-one, Maciegiani, who was standing on the goal line, rushed out and quickly pounced at his feet just as Kirsten adjusted his shot.
Da~
Kirsten shot the ball into his chest and bounced off the chance and it was wasted!
The Italian goalkeeper of the bull break!
But the danger is not over.
The ball didn't go in, it popped out of the big penalty area, Ballack and Simeone rushed to the pop-up ball at the same time, Simeone gritted his teeth, or decided to gamble, fight his body, he is not Ballack's opponent, seeing that Ballack was about to squeeze him away, he directly fell sideways and shoveled down!
But he underestimated Ballack, who turned half a circle to the left at the moment he made the tackle to keep Simeone out of possession, only to hook Simeone's right foot into Ballack's feet.
Beep
Fouled.
"Oh~"
"It's a foul."
'Ballack created a well-placed set-piece at the top of the box, the best position since the opening.
"This location is very suitable for Zheng Zhi."
"It should be Zheng Zhilai who is the main punishment, right?"
"A couple of guys can shoot from this position."
Ze Roberto, Zheng Zhi, and Barak immediately stood together.
"Forget Ballack, his way of shooting is not suitable for this distance, Ze Roberto's left foot and Zheng Zhi's right foot will do."
"But the wall is too high, and it's not easy to kick the ball over."
The three of them also whispered together, "The human wall is too tight." ”
"The third option?"
Zheng Zhichong Barak and Ze Roberto winked.
"Hmm,"
"Hmm,"
The other two immediately understood, and then Barak walked away with his head down, shaking his head all the way to the right, and disappeared into the wall of Pancaro.
"Barak looks a little upset, huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"Now only Zheng Zhi and Ze Roberto are in front of the ball, and the two of them have opened up the running distance on the left and right, which is really confusing to the opponent, and it is estimated that Maciegiani doesn't know who shot?"
Beep
The whistle blew and Ze Roberto was the first to rush towards the ball.
"Ze Roberto!"
As soon as the words fell, Ze Roberto jumped directly in front of the ball, very surprised!
But immediately after Zheng Zhi also rushed up, the wall subconsciously flashed (didn't dare to jump)!
Zheng Zhi also jumped over?!
What's the situation?
The guys on the human wall were stunned twice in a row, but between the lightning and flint, Zheng Zhi's left foot pushed, and the ball rolled directly into the right side of Lazio's penalty area!
What the?!
Barak flashes out of the human wall! The ball rolled in front of him.
The human wall moved again, and Pancaro, on the far right, tried to fly over, but Barak had already bent his bow and arrows, and almost held back all his strength to pull out the ball.
With such plenty of shots on goal, it was impossible to return the shot.
Knock –
The ball was like a ball of lightning and hung straight into the top left corner of the goal, and Maciegiani only raised his hand symbolically.
"The ball is in!"
"The ball is in!"
"The ball is in!"
"A perfect tactical free-kick!"
"It's comparable to the goal scored by Argentina Zanetti in last year's World Cup, I don't know how Veron and Simeone feel about it, they were one of the participants!"
"Tribute to the classics, perfect copy!"
