In addition to Bayern Munich's early league title and Fürth's early "kickback" to the Bundesliga, there are still many suspenses that have not yet been resolved.

For example, Schalke 04, who are fifth in the table, and Borussia Mönchengladbach, who are eighth, are only three points apart, so which of the three teams will qualify for next season's Europa League.

There is also a three-point gap between 14th-placed Werder Bremen and 17th-placed Fortuna Dusseldorf. Therefore, which two teams will be determined to appear in the Bundesliga next season.

In addition to the battle for Europa League qualification and the place to stay in the Bundesliga next season, the battle for third place in the league between Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen is also very attractive to fans.

It is precisely because there is so much suspense until the end of the final round of the league that every stadium is bursting with stands.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, Hamburg's home game against Bayer Leverkusen is about to begin." CCTV Bundesliga commentator He Xiaowei broadcasts "professionally". "In order to facilitate the audience and friends to better watch the broadcast of this game, we have once again invited Zou Ning and Zou to serve as the commentator of this game."

As soon as He Xiaowei's words fell, the referee at the scene immediately blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Although the two teams have played each other before, and many players on both sides are familiar with each other, given the importance of the game, Bayer Leverkusen, who were given the kick-off at the start of the game, safely opted to play in their own half.

Taking the opportunity of the two sides to test each other, He Xiaowei began to introduce the starting lists of both sides.

"Hamburg, playing at home, fielded their usual 4-2-3-1 formation. The goalkeeper is still No. 15 Adler; From left to right, the back line is No. 6 Ogo, No. 5 Bruma, No. 4 Westerman, No. 2 Dickmeier; Back 14 Badelli, No. 44 Kachar; three attacking midfielders, No. 21 Best, 40 Son Xingmin, and Chinese player Feng Quan; On the front line, there is still No. 10 Rudneves who has outstanding ability to grab points. ”

"Since it only takes one draw to secure third place in the league, Hamburg's starting line-up is still stable." After He Xiaowei introduced the starting list of the Hamburg team, Zou Ning, as a guest commentator, began to interpret the starting lineup. 'Arslan, who has always partnered with Badelli at the back, has been replaced by Cachar, who is more defensive, is the best proof of this.

"That's true. After all, a draw is all it takes for Hamburg to finish third in the Bundesliga and qualify directly for next season's Champions League group stage. So it's understandable that their head coach has chosen a more secure strategy. He Xiaowei nodded and said. In addition, after Van der Vaart is sidelined due to injury, who will replace him in the midfield position still needs to be observed as the game progresses. ”

"Yes, Van der Vaart's absence due to injury did have an impact on Hamburg's attacking organisation." Zou Ning continued. However, judging from the first meeting between the two teams, Son Heung-min, who is capable of almost all positions in the front, is likely to replace Van der Vaart in the midfield position.

As soon as Zou Ning's words fell, Son Xingmin appeared on the broadcast screen and was pressing Simon Rolfes, the defender of the Leverkusen team who was holding the ball.

"That's right, judging from the fact that Son Heung-min is pressing the back-to-back players of the Bayer Leverkusen team, the vacancy left by Van der Vaart should be filled by him."

However, as soon as He Xiaowei finished speaking, Rolfes rushed to the right before Son Xingmin got close to him. And Son Heung-min, who should continue to press him, suddenly ran towards the left side of the front field and began to press the right wing-back Daniel Carvajal (Daniel Carvajal), who responded to the pass.

"Huh? Why did Son Heung-min follow the ball and run to the left side? Isn't he supposed to be on the team to keep an eye on Rolfes? ”

Just when He Xiaowei was puzzled by Sun Xingmin's actions, Feng Quan, who was still cruising on the left side, suddenly moved in the direction of the middle lane.

Seeing that the wind had moved to the middle of the road, Zou Ning made a contemplative gesture with his right hand on his cheek: Could it be ...... The Hamburg team did not have a fixed choice of the forward midfielder in this game, but the "Asian combination" made the forward position "blurred" through frequent changes?

Three days ago, in the office of the head coach of the Hamburg club.

"Tosten, now that Rafael's season has ended early, we might as well simply change our attacking strategy." Lars-Bittencourt spoke.

"Tell me about it." Fink said, glancing at his assistant.

"As he gets more and more experienced, he can get used to attacking in the middle, so I think it would be a good choice to have him in Rafael's position."

Hearing this, Fink shook his head and said, "That's right, the current wind can indeed be qualified for the position of the forward midfielder. However, it was only on the left flank that he was able to play to his full potential. Therefore, if he is put in the middle, the threat to Bayer Leverkusen will be relatively reduced. ”

'It's true that putting the wind on the left does allow him to play to his full potential. However, have you ever wondered if Tosten and Bayer Leverkusen have already guessed that the wind will appear as a left winger in the game? ”

After a pause, Bittencourt continued: "I don't think there is a player who can defend against the wind in one-on-one, but in the same way, with the weak defensive ability of the wind, our team's left wing defense is almost all like falling to the left wing-back alone. You must know that the right wing combination of the Bayer Leverkusen team is even afraid of three points for Bayern Munich. ”

"So, do you mean to put the wind in the middle and put Sun in the position he knows best to help defend on the left side?" Fink asked, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Glancing at Fink, Bittencourt smiled and said, "Not exactly. When our team is attacking, we can let the 'Asian pair' choose their own position according to the specific situation on the field, and then put pressure on the defense of the Bayer Leverkusen team respectively. ”

"As for when we were on the defensive, it was to put Sun first up front to put pressure on Rohrfes, who was in charge of the midfield playmaking. If he gets the ball to our left, he will have Son move to the left immediately to help the team's left side defend. At the same time, the wind is moving closer to the middle, and the attention of the opponent's central defenders is bound to be attracted by the wind, so they dare not rush forward. As a result, the pressure on our team's central defense will inevitably be reduced. ”

"That can really help reduce the pressure on the defense, but have you ever thought about Lars, the wind doesn't seem to be good at organizing attacks?" Fink shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Yes, there is indeed a big gap between Wind's playmaking ability and Rafael's, but his speed and dribbling ability are unmatched by the Dutchman. Just like Brazilian star Kaka, he is also not good at organizing attacks. But didn't his high-speed dribbling in the middle and his back-cut attack just as chilling the opposition's defense? After a slight pause, Beatencourt continued: "What's more, in terms of speed, power, and personal dribbling ability, the wind is stronger than Kaka at his peak. So, I personally think it's perfectly possible to let the wind attack like Kaka did in Milan......"

Knowing that Feng Quan is the real core of Hamburg's attack, and his team has no good way to limit Feng Quan's play, Bayer Leverkusen's head coach Sami Hyypia (Sami Hyypia) has developed a "attack instead of defense" strategy, trying to suppress Feng Quan's attack on the left side.

After all, for Bayer Leverkusen, only a win can finish third in the league, so the only way to go is to "score more goals than your opponent".

Because of this, Hyypia not only put right winger Gonzalo Castro (Gonzalo Castro), who has little defensive ability, into the starting lineup, but also put Carvajal, who had been playing as a right midfielder, into the right wing-back position.

Although in a one-on-one situation, Carvajal's speed and physical flexibility are indeed the "best candidates" for Bayer Leverkusen's defensive style.

But in fact, it was Hyypia's real idea to completely break down Hamburg's left-sided defence with two wide players with good attacking speed and good dribbling.

It's a pity that as Son Heung-min "returned" to the left side he was most familiar with, with his tireless running and the "tenacious" spirit unique to the Koreans, he and the left wing-back Ogo did not let the Leverkusen team's "right side forward" tactics stand on any cheap.

At the same time, because the two players on the right side of the Hamburg team have good defensive ability, Andre Schurrle, who was plagued by flu two days before the game, was not at his best.

Therefore, not only did Hyypia's "two-sided striker" tactics on the right side not take advantage of anything, but even the attack on the left side failed to create much trouble for the Hamburg team's side defense.

——————

After the two wings formed a "match" situation with Bayer Leverkusen, Hamburg's attack in the middle began to show its power.

In particular, Feng Quan, who "frequently" moved to the middle, with his superior speed advantage, formed a great threat to the goal of the Bayer Leverkusen team in the attack.

In the 19th minute of the first half, Adler's goal kick went straight to the feet of Badelli near the top of the box.

After calmly changing direction and escaping Stefan Kiessling's pounce, Badelli began to run forward with the ball. After advancing six or seven meters, Leverkusen's midfield playmaker Jens Hegeler quickly made up for it.

In the face of Heigler's onslaught, Badelli did not choose to break hard, but made a wall-hitting cooperation with his teammates to get rid of the opponent's marking.

After dribbling to the center circle, Badelli found that Feng Quan, who was cruising about ten meters in front of him, did not have a Leverkusen player around him to defend closely. So, without any hesitation, it was a direct pass that passed the ball to Feng Quan's feet.

After seeing the football pass to the feet of Feng Quan, Leverkusen defender Rolfes quickly leaned in from behind.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen's other midfielder, Lars Bender, also leaned in from the right rear of Feng Quan.

Although Feng Quan was confident that he could rely on dribbling to get away from the opponent's double mark, he made the right choice.

Knocking the ball back to Badelli, who had already stepped forward to pick it up, Feng Quan quickly completed the turn to the left, and then continued to run forward around Rolfes behind him.

The next moment, Badelli, who received the wind all back, directly distributed the ball to the right side.

Best, who played as a right winger in this game, also did not stop the ball, but sent a through ball directly to the front of Feng Quan 4 meters in front of him.

After quickly accelerating and shaking off the chasing Rolfes, Feng Quan stretched out his left foot to stop the ball forward, and then ran directly in the direction of the penalty area.

In the face of OemerToprak's defense, Feng Quan made two consecutive bicycle movements, and suddenly flicked the ball to the right front with the outside of his right foot, relying on his speed advantage to get rid of the opponent's defense.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Quan rushed ahead of Bernd Leno, who abandoned the goal, and completed a light volley.

Unfortunately, just as most of the home fans in the stands were already up to celebrate their first goal, Hamburg's perfect attack was stopped by the crossbar.

Although they couldn't help Hamburg open the scoring, tens of thousands of home fans in the stands still gave warm applause to Feng Quan's excellent performance.

——————

Although they escaped with the help of the goal crossbar, the impact of the wind still made the players of the Leverkusen team feel uneasy.

So, out of fear of Fengquan's speed and breakthrough ability, Hyypia ordered Lars Bender to take charge of his close defense. Rolfes, on the other hand, also needs to be ready to help Lars Bender at any time.

At the same time, even Hegler, who was responsible for organizing the attack, was asked by Hyypia to "try to cut off the connection between the Chinese and the two back of the Hamburg team." In particular, he can't let Feng Quan easily get the chance to get the ball in the direction of the Leverkusen goal.

Because of the fear of the rapid assault of Feng Quan, even if the two wings did not pose much of a threat to the Hamburg defence, Hyypia simply asked the two midfielders to try not to jump over the opponent's center circle.

In addition, because the two backs of the Leverkusen team did not dare to go too far forward, Hegler, who was responsible for organizing the attack, often had an "isolated" situation.

Similarly, under the "coordinated operation" of the opponent's three midfielders, even if Feng Quan can get rid of the opponent's defense, it is difficult to really threaten the opponent's door.

In the end, after 45 minutes of fierce battle, the two teams ended the first half with a score of 0-0......
