Since a win was necessary to finish third in the league, Hyypia took advantage of the half-time break to make changes to the team's lineup. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hyypia was replaced by Daniel Schwaab, who had been sleepwalking in attack in the first half, and had him play at right wing-back.

Perhaps inspired by Hamburg's move to the centre, Hyypia put Schurrle, who can also adapt to multiple positions up front, into a midfield position to take on the responsibility of organising the team's attack. In the first half, he was replaced by Gonzalo Castro, who played on the right side in the first half.

Finally, Carvajal, who played as a right wing-back in the first half of the game, moved to the right midfield position.

——————

Although they couldn't knock on the door in the first half, a 0-0 draw was just as acceptable for Hamburg, who needed just one draw to finish third in the league.

So back in the dressing room, the boss gave his players full recognition and encouraged them to build on in the second half of the game and try to make a successful season in the league.

After finishing the "ideological and political" work of the players, Fink arranged some details of the game in the second half again.

When everything was ready, Fink called the Asian duo of Fink and Son Heung-min to his side.

"In the first half, both of you did a really good job." Fink patted them on the shoulder and said. "However, I don't think the 'Pharmaceutical' guys will be content to just get a draw. So they're definitely going to change in the second half. I don't know exactly how Sammy (Hyypia) guy will adjust. But I want you two to make some changes as well. ”

Hearing this, Feng Quan said confidently: "Boss, what should you say we brothers should do?" ”

In fact, if it weren't for the hanging door hitting the crossbar, which caused Feng Quan's mood to fluctuate slightly, which caused his play in the second half of the first half to be affected to a certain extent, I am afraid that the Hamburg team with the advantage of home field would have taken the lead.

However, after receiving the affirmation and praise from the head coach, Feng Quan's mentality seems to have returned to its peak state.

After seeing the frenzy in Fengquan's eyes full of confidence, Fink's face couldn't help but show joy.

Nodding, Fink said, "After the start of the second half, you two will have to switch positions more in the attack, and you will have to be more active when running without the ball. In this way, you can better disrupt the opponent's defense. ”

After a pause, Fink patted Feng Quan's shoulder again and said, "Feng, I very much believe that with your physical condition and skilled dribbling skills, you are still capable of getting rid of two defenders with your back to them. However, if you can increase your movement, especially if you find open spaces, not only will it be easier for your teammates to pass the ball to you, but it will also be easier for you to get out of the opposition's marking......

After the adjustment at half-time, Bayer Leverkusen's attack in the second half did improve somewhat.

In particular, Schurrle, who moved to the forward midfield position, caused a lot of problems for the Hamburg defense with his wide range of runs and skillful dribbling breakthroughs.

If it weren't for Hamburg's goalkeeper Adler's good form in this game, I'm afraid that less than 5 minutes into the second half, Leverkusen would have rewritten the score.

At that time, Schurrle, who won the ball near the center circle, relied on his speed advantage to get rid of the defense of Cachar and Badelli in a row, and directly hit the goal with a heavy shot at a position 256 meters away from the goal.

Fortunately, Adler's concentration was enough to react correctly at the first time, and he rose up to go straight to the ball in the top right corner of the goal, and struggled to save the bottom line.

Similarly, under the "coordinated operation" of the three midfielders of the Leverkusen team, it was difficult to threaten the opponent's goal, and Fengquan became active again with the departure of Hegler. After all, it's always easier to deal with two than three.

In addition, under Fink's instructions, the addition of the wind to run without the ball not only made the two back of the Leverkusen team more headaches, but also made it much easier for teammates to pass the ball to him.

Coupled with the frequent exchange of positions with Son Xingmin, the defenders of the Leverkusen team often appear in a trance when marking people. If it weren't for the away team's goalkeeper Leno's performance was also unfamiliar, I'm afraid the score on the field would have been rewritten many times.

In this way, the game between the two sides entered a stalemate of "attacking vigorously and defending in place......

——————

Despite the changes made at half-time, Bayer Leverkusen's attack was significantly better than the performance in the first half. But the delay in converting the attack into a goal still made Hyypia, who was sitting in the coach's box, frown.

Looking up at the big screen in the stadium, there were less than 20 minutes left before the end of the game. You have to score a goal as soon as possible to establish the lead. If it drags on like this, the psychological pressure on the players will become more and more intense.

Just a minute ago, Rolfes, who had always been calm and calm in the game, began to show signs of impatience.

Because the teammates' running position was not very ideal, and Hamburg's Badelli had been eyeing Rolfes who had the ball in the frontcourt, so before he could enter the 30-meter area in the front, Rolfes reluctantly came to shoot from a distance.

Bardelli didn't even step forward to interfere before Rolfes' long-range shot flew high over the crossbar.

In fact, even if his teammates' points of contact are not ideal, Rolfes should not have been so hasty in choosing to force a long-range shot. You can choose to pass the ball back and open up space before looking for an opportunity to attack again.

In order to prevent the team's impatience from worsening, I am afraid that the only way to break the deadlock on the field is to break it as soon as possible. If you want to break the deadlock on the field, the first thing you need to do is to find an offensive breakthrough for your team. Because only by tearing a hole in the opponent's defense and opening a channel for attack can more chances be created.

If you look at it from the field alone, the game strategy of both teams is not very conservative, and they also invest a lot of troops in the attack.

However, both sides have three or four defenders deployed near their own penalty areas at all times. Therefore, although the battle between the two sides in midfield is very fierce, they can often dedicate exquisite teamwork and wonderful individual breakthroughs to the fans in the stands. However, after entering the opponent's 30-meter area, it is difficult to form a substantial threat in the opponent's penalty area.

Just when Hyypia was in the trouble of finding a breakthrough, a scene that had just happened on the court made him find some "inspiration......

——————

Although Hamburg's right wing-back Dickmeier has very limited assists, his solid defensive skills, as well as his speed and physical reflexes, have made him firmly in the team's main right wing-back.

In the first 33 rounds of the league this season, Dickmaier, who got 31 appearances (all as starters), except for the two games against Bayern Munich, was suddenly "temperless" by the opponent's Ribery, and when facing other opponents, he was able to limit the opponent's performance to a certain extent.

For example, in the first half of the game against Bayer Leverkusen, Schurrle, who had a strong breakthrough ability, was not able to take much advantage of the competition with Dick Meier.

Apart from two forced crosses that followed, Schurrle didn't even get the inside shot he became famous for.

In fact, the reason why Hyypia put Schurrle in the position of the forward midfielder in the second half of the game was not only dissatisfied with Hegele's performance in the first half of the game, but also had a lot to do with Schurrle's failure to take advantage of Dickmeier's competition.

Although after the start of the second half, Castro, who was "moved" from the right side to the left side by Hyypia, was not able to take advantage of Dickmeire.

However, with the passage of time, the physical fitness of the players on the field has all declined to varying degrees, Dickmeier, who is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms, gradually began to fall into disadvantage when defending Castro, who is only 1.70 meters tall but has a very strong body.

Although Castro's absolute speed is not very fast, he may even lose to Dickmeier who is marking him if he simply competes in the 100-meter dash.

However, with his masterful footwork and the physical agility that would have made the tall Dickmere crazy, Castro gradually began to "crush" his opponents.

With 72 minutes to go, after receiving a ball from Schurrle on the left side of the pitch, Castro once again burst towards Dickmeier, who was full of nervousness.

Castro dribbled into the 30-metre zone for Hamburg, first made two feints to pedal his bike, and then suddenly turned the ball in the direction of the baseline with the outside of his left foot.

The next moment, when Dickmeire quickly completed the turn and followed Castro towards the baseline, Castro suddenly made a sharp stop and dunked the ball behind him with his left foot.

Although Dickmere gritted his teeth and persevered, he once again completed the turn and blocked the path of Castro, who tried to cut inside. But when Castro made another stop-and-go move, Dickmeyer was finally unable to do anything.

However, even Dickmeier, who is a defensive stalwart, did not give Castro a chance to burst into the box.

Just after Castro completed two emergency stops in succession and shook Dickmeyer, just when he wanted to wipe into the penalty area, Dickmeier was shoveled on the edge of the penalty line from diagonal behind......

——————

There was no suspense, almost at the same moment when Castro was shoveled on the lawn by Dickmeyer, the referee, seven or eight meters away from the place of the foul, quickly blew the whistle for the foul.

In addition to awarding Bayer Leverkusen a well-placed free-kick, the referee also showed Dickmeier, who had committed a foul, a 'Topaz card'.

If it weren't for the fact that this is the home of Hamburg, the referee might even send Dickmeier off the pitch.

As a result, neither Dickmeier himself, who committed the foul, nor the other Hamburg players made any "protests" against the referee's decision.

In fact, the moment the referee ran to him, Dickmeier was even ready to be sent straight off the field. Therefore, when Dickmeier saw that the referee had only shown him a yellow card, he even had the idea of "inviting the referee to dinner" after the game.

Although Leverkusen's Kiessling has a height of more than 1.90 meters, it is somewhat "ironic" that the scorer, who has scored 25 goals and is temporarily at the top of the Bundesliga scorer list, cannot be complimented with his header ability.

The reason for such an embarrassing situation is also due to some objective factors. With a weight of just under 75 kilograms compared to his height of more than 1.90m, Kiessling is destined to be unable to take on the role of a fulcrum striker in the box.

Because of this, the tall Kisling gives people a feeling of "light and agile style". Not only is he very skilled in ball control, but he also has a rare speed advantage in a tall forward, and he often makes good contributions when the team is counter-attacking.

However, it is also because of the "constraints" of technical characteristics, when the team gets the opportunity to take a set-piece in front. As the team's starting center, Kiessling will hardly be the "first point" that the team is looking for, but can only look for a follow-up shot in the penalty area, or find a second point after a team-mate ferry......

Therefore, even though Kiessling is the opponent's first height on the field, when Leverkusen takes a free kick near the penalty line, Hamburg coach Fink only let the 1.83-meter-tall Ogo be responsible for marking it.

As for Hamburg's two tall centre-backs, it was Toprak and Lars Bender, who were responsible for defending the headers.

When the three Hamburg players lined up under Adler's command, the referee signaled that Schurrle, who was standing in front of the ball, was ready to take a free-kick.

The next moment, with the referee's whistle, Schurrle took two steps to run and curled a ball with the inside of his right foot.

Immediately afterward, the ball came to the back of the goal after dyeing over the head of Byst, who was standing on the edge of the human wall.

Although Lars Bender was three centimetres shorter than his marker Buruma, he was able to beat his opponent for the first point with a better bounce and headed the ball towards the left side of the goal.

Just when Lars Bender thought that his header was about to help Bayer Leverkusen break the deadlock, Adler, who played extremely well in this game, took the ball from mid-air like a god soldier......
