Chapter 149: The Swallow Skimming the Water
At the beginning of the second half of the 2004-05 Bundesliga season, Madiburg had to face two traditional powerhouses in succession, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund.
Don't look at Bayer Leverkusen's average performance in the league in the first half of the season, they have 27 points and are in eighth place behind Madiburg with 29 points, but the pharmaceutical factory is quite beautiful in the Champions Cup, beating Real Madrid and Roma 3:0 and 3:1 respectively in the group stage, and emerging from the group of death early, forcing Real Madrid to play away to Roma in the last game.
Young coaches are generally very bold, and Uncle Scum is like this, in the first shot of the second half of the season at Bayer Athletic Stadium, Klopp put out a starting lineup that combines old and new, of course, this 'new and old' does not refer to age.
The goalkeeper is the good man Handanovic, the in-form rock Delas and the first left-back of the Bundesliga Grosso press the line-up, the tall Heiko Westmann stands in the middle to partner the rocks, and Bayer Leverkusen's former Michel Zepek plays at right-back.
In midfield, captain Zoyang led Khedira, Bacchus Zhirkov and Tsar Arshavin, while musketeer Gomez was partnered with the somewhat surprising Swiss Tlanquelo Banetta.
In fact, Uncle Scumbag's lineup is not all for targeted adjustments, the battle at the foot of Eiffel Mountain has only passed for a few days, and several of them are still a little bruised and swollen on their faces, and it is not very decent to present them to thousands of TV viewers.
Zhuo Yang is very much looking forward to this fight, and last year's first-round play against Bayer Leverkusen made him famous in the Bundesliga in a sense, allowing him to try out the depth of the Bundesliga team. After coming back from a circle, facing Bayer Pharmaceutical Factory again, he wanted to experience the new realm after he opened the second pulse of Ren Du, and a few days ago he and Legia Warsaw didn't even kick for ten minutes before he evolved into a friend with martial arts, but it was not enjoyable.
In addition to Zhuo Yang, the most eager to fight against Bayer Leverkusen is right-back Zepek, because he is a former waste wood abandoned by the pharmaceutical factory.
This is Zepek's little cautious, to tell the truth, in fact, Leverkusen treats him well, who can you rely on if he is wasted and not kicked out? It's just that Leverkusen, who was eager to produce results back then, was a little rough, and he only knew how to practice and practice, and he didn't have the meticulousness that Madiburg had intervened in from the scientific research and medical departments.
Pharmaceutical fans are well-known in the Bundesliga, and there are many people who know the ball. But people are like this, but the bolted horse stone that they don't want at home was picked up by the neighbor and cut out the old pit ice seed, who can not have a little sour grape psychology. When the stadium DJ read the list to Zepek just now, there was a very unkind boo, which made Zepek a little angry.
Zepek has been at Bayer Leverkusen for six years, and naturally has made a lot of friends, the best of which is Bayer Leverkusen's left-back Bierovka, who is opposite him today.
A few years ago, the bantam Hassler had spent a season in Munich 1860 before coming to Madiburg, and Hassler was very optimistic about Bierovka, who was also in 1860 at the time, and the 21-year-old was in his youth. Hasler encouraged Bierovka to boldly break through on the field and open up to the forward assault, that year, Bierovka was known as the Bundesliga 'small breakthrough king', during the live broadcast, Huang Jianxiang couldn't help but praise: "Bierrovka's explosive power is so amazing, one person absolutely can't prevent him!" ”
However, after he transferred to Bayer Leverkusen, because of the change in the team's style, his breakthrough pass was not the first choice for technique and tactics, and his weak defensive characteristics were infinitely magnified, gradually disappearing into the main lineup, and the fancy passing skills of chasing the wind and electricity gradually degraded. The forgetful Huang Jianxiang said: "This Bierovka is a strength player, and his skills are relatively rough......
The previous summer, Hasler had asked Bierrov to move to Madiborg to play in the Bundesliga, but he hesitated and refused to go to the lower divisions to 'mess around', and then continued to rise and fall in Bayer Leverkusen. But then again, even if Bierrov came at that time, it would have been a dead sub, because the left winger of Madiburg was the scar Franck Ribery who is hailed as the first man in the entire Bundesliga of all time.
.
In the first meeting last year, Zhuo Yang scored a new record for the fastest goal in the Bundesliga with 9.1 seconds, once bitten by a snake, Leverkusen from the whistle sounded like a big enemy, several pairs of eyes stared at the captain of Madiburg, and it was impossible to play 9.1 second.
So, this time it took 11 seconds to break the goal!
After kick-off, Zhuo Yang did not rush to get the ball by himself, and when he pushed it to Khedira, he ran forward, and Khedira continued to pass back to Zepek.
After Zepek took a few steps with the ball unhurriedly, he saw Zhuo Yang reaching out for the ball, but he did not rush out of the ball, but rushed forward to attract the defense, and then suddenly the half-high ball passed to Zhuo Yang. Zepek's defense may not be as tight as Ackerman's, but his offensive skills are much higher than Ackerman's.
The ball flew towards Zhuoyang, and in an instant Leverkusen had three players on the sidelines, Franza, Balic and LaMelo. The three masters were waiting for Zhuo Yang's next move after stopping the ball, ready to block all possible passes and break lines.
The soccer ball fell from the spur, fast and fast. It's not that Zepek doesn't pay attention to passing, but all Madiburg people know that passing the ball to the captain doesn't need to consider the difficulty of receiving the ball and the pace of stopping the ball, just pursue speed and timing, and there is no difference between rolling slowly and shooting like a pass to Zhuo Yang.
The ball is approaching quickly, and more than 90% of the players with this kind of ball will jump on tiptoe and use their chests to stop the catch, but Zhuo Yang is obviously outside of this 90%. Taking a step back, the football has fallen to waist height, and the thigh cushion is the most reasonable choice, but Zhuo Yang is not a person who plays cards according to common sense.
The football is about to fall to the ground, and it is the most conventional practice to use the soft ankle to control the instep to unload the ball, but Zhuo Yang is not a person who follows the rules.
The football will bounce up quickly after falling to the ground, because of the turf of the stadium, there will be some irregular changes of direction, and the football flying from the bottom to the top is very difficult to handle, and it is not very ergonomic, and Zhuo Yang is naturally not a stubborn person.
The football crashed ...... the ground, no, when it was still 5 millimeters above the ground, it suddenly flew out, clinging to the turf like a swallow skimming the water. No one could see why it suddenly changed direction, and no one could see clearly how Zhuo Yang turned the football into a direct-guided aerial bomb.
If time had stopped, and a high-speed camera replay had been used to let everyone see what had just happened, everyone would know that it was a right toe that suddenly changed the direction of the football.
However, time never stood still, and after the ball hit its toes, it flew towards the Bayer Leverkusen penalty area on turf, and the moment it left its toes, the high-speed musketeer Gomez was staggering past the last defender.
