Despite Badelli's sudden "change of tactics", Hegler and Lars-Bender were caught off guard. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info However, because the relationship that ended in the end of the pass out of bounds in this change of trick did not attract enough attention from the Leverkusen team.

Therefore, for the remainder of the first half, Bayer Leverkusen continued to implement the "strangulation" tactics against Badelli.

However, Badelli's "change of move" made Feng Quan always pay attention to Badelli's foot movements while he was ready to complete the start at any time. In order to look at the amplitude of his leg swing, you can tell whether he continues to deliver low flat passes or deeper overhead balls.

Although before the end of the first half, Badelli tried again to send a pass over the top to the left wing. However, because the pass was not ideal, Toprak, who was responsible for marking the wind, grabbed the first point and easily gave the ball to his teammates.

In the end, Bayer Leverkusen, playing at home, ended the first half with a one-goal lead.

Hamburg locker room.

Despite temporarily trailing by one goal at the end of the first half, the mood of the Hamburg players did not seem to be affected by the score deficit. Most of the players sat there with calm expressions recovering their strength, and a few players who had a better relationship with each other were discussing the personal gains and losses in the first half of the game.

In fact, the Hamburg players really have nothing to be frustrated about. In terms of strength, it is not as good as Leverkusen, and it is still a home game, and it is a good result to be able to concede only one goal in the first half of the game.

You know, in the first 16 rounds of the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen won 6 wins and 1 draw in 7 home games. And, in those seven games, they have also scored a staggering 20 goals. If it weren't for the poor away results, they would not have been opened by Bayern Munich, who are at the top of the standings, by 11 points.

And after seeing the expressions of his players, head coach Fink couldn't help but show a smile of relief on his face.

"Hey, boys, be quiet and listen to me." Fink said with a smile. 'We were down by one goal for a while, but I'm happy with the performance. Especially at the back, I'm particularly happy with the performance. ”

As soon as Fink's words fell, the atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became a little weird.

Because, the faces of the five backline players led by Westerman suddenly showed smiles; The expressions on the faces of the remaining six midfielders suddenly darkened.

Of course, none of the changes in the expressions of the Hamburg players escaped Fink's eyes.

'But if we want to equalise in the second half or even overtake the score, you have to work harder. At the same time, we have to make some adjustments in the attack. Fink said with a serious expression.

"Feng, in the second half, you and Son (Heungmin) switch positions to the middle, but when you are off the ball, try to move around the center circle to shorten the distance with Milan (Badelli). And after getting the ball, if you can successfully complete the turn, you have to resolutely break forward. If it doesn't work, you have to pass the ball to your teammates as soon as possible and tear apart the opponent's defense through mutual cooperation......"

After explaining the tactics of Feng Quan, Fink successively made some tactical arrangements for midfield attacking players such as Son Heung-min, Badelli, and Best.

And when Fink's tactical set-up was over, the on-site staff also came to the dressing room where the visiting team was located, reminding them to enter the stadium and prepare to restart the game.

A few minutes later, when the 22 players from both teams returned to the lawn of the Bayer Arena, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the second half.

——————

CCTV Bundesliga commentator He Xiaowei checked the list of players who played in the second half of the two sides and said: "Okay, with the referee's whistle, the second half of the game between Bayer Leverkusen and Hamburg finally began. At the beginning of the second half, the two sides continued to use the starting lineup of the first half of the game, and did not make personnel changes. ”

As soon as He Xiaowei's words fell, Zou Ning, the broadcast guest next to him, said with some surprise: "Eh? The positions of Feng Quan and Sun Xingmin of the Hamburg team seem to be reversed. Son Heung-min returned to his most familiar position as a left winger, while Feng Quan moved to the middle. ”

He Xiaowei glanced at the big screen in front of him, Feng Quan happened to be near the center circle at this time, and raised his hand to signal that Badelli was ready to ask for the ball.

However, after observing the situation on the field, Badelli did not give Feng Quan's pass, but chose to transfer the ball to the feet of left wing-back Ogo. He then ran in the direction of Bayer Leverkusen's half.

After receiving the pass, Ogo took two steps forward, then passed the ball to South Korean Son Heung-min in front of him, and then ran to the left near the halfline, ready to respond.

At the same time as Son Heung-min received a pass from Ogo, Badelli happened to cross the halfway line and the lateral distance between him and Son Heung-min was less than ten meters.

Although Bayer Leverkusen's right-back Oemertoprak was close behind Son Heung-min, making it difficult for the South Korean to complete the turn.

However, Son Heung-min did not want to force a turn away, but was ready to make a wall-to-wall coordination with Badelli, and then bypass Toprak's marking from the outside, and then go straight to the Leverkusen penalty area.

Unfortunately, just as Son Heung-min bypassed Toprak's marking from the outside along the left sideline and was about to complete the wall-hitting coordination with Badelli, he was pulled by Toprak from behind and fell on the turf.

With only two centre-backs at the back, Leverkusen's goal is likely to be in a tight run if Son Heung-min is allowed to receive a pass from Badelli. Therefore, in desperation, Toprak could only stop Son Xingmin's advance at the cost of fouls.

However, Toprak's foul not only gave Hamburg a free-kick in front, but also earned him a yellow card from the referee.

——————

Less than a minute into the second half, Toprak received a yellow card. In this way, the defense on the right side of the Leverkusen team is likely to become a breakthrough for the Hamburg team's attack. Zou Ning analyzed the game screen.

In fact, when Bayer Leverkusen opened the summer transfer window, Daniel Carvajalramos, who was brought in from Real Madrid's B team Castilla, is a very good right wing-back.

Carvajal, who has just turned 20, has not only quickly become Hyypia's number one choice at right-back, but has also provided four assists and scored a goal in the first 16 Bundesliga games. Such a performance also put him among the top right-backs in the Bundesliga.

Unfortunately, in the last round of the league against Hannover 96, Carvajal, who received a yellow card, suffered a suspension in the game against Hamburg because of the accumulation of 5 yellow cards.

Because of this, Hyypia had no choice but to let Toprak, who was born as a central defender, play the position of right wing-back in this game.

Although Toprak's reflexes and turning speed were not bad, his impulsive personality still caused him to be out of position from time to time in defense. And in order to make up for his defensive misposition, he had to foul the opponent to stop the attack. In this way, it increases the likelihood that he will be dealt to some extent.

——————

When the referee showed Toprak a yellow card, the director of German television, who was in charge of the broadcast, immediately cut the broadcast to the Leverkusen coach's box.

At this time, Hyypia was clasping his hands in front of his chest, frowning at the players on both sides of the court.

After seeing Hyypia, who was frowning, He Xiaowei said: "I don't know if the dissatisfaction of Leverkusen coach Hyypia is because of Toprak's foul, or because the referee showed a yellow card to his player." ”

"I think it's probably a bit of both." Zou Ning said.

In fact, He Xiaowei and Zou Ning's guesses are not accurate. Hyypia, who used to be a world-class defender, knew very well that there was no doubt that the referee showed him a yellow card for a foul. Moreover, in that situation at that time, even if it was him, I am afraid that he would not hesitate to use foul methods, and he would never let Sun Xingmin pass by his side.

The real reason for Hyypia's "frowning" is actually because of the transposition of Feng Quan and Sun Xingmin.

Perhaps, in terms of overall strength, Feng Quan is slightly stronger than South Korean Son Xingmin, but if you simply consider running without the ball and the tacit understanding with your teammates, Feng Quan will obviously fall behind.

Moreover, the ability to run aggressively and find openings is itself a common skill trait of Son Heung-min, or other excellent attacking players in South Korea.

As a result, after Son Heung-min returned to his familiar left flank, it became more difficult for Bayer Leverkusen to continue with the strangling tactics they used against Badelli in the first half.

Not only that, unlike Son Heung-min, who served as the shadow striker of the Hamburg team in the first half, who has been cruising near the 30-meter area of the Leverkusen team, Feng Quan, who switched to the middle of the middle zone in the second half, is basically near the halfway line of the Leverkusen team in the second half, and is ready to receive the pass from his teammates at any time.

In this way, in the case of the strangulation tactics against Badelli, if Feng Quan gets the opportunity to get the ball, it is impossible to rely on the back Rolfes alone to stop Feng Quan's breakthrough.

Thinking of this, Hyypia quickly thought about the adjustment to deal with the changes in the situation on the field.

However, before Hyypia could come up with a concrete strategy, Hamburg had already begun to challenge Bayer Leverkusen's goal.

In the fourth minute of the second half, Lars Bender of Bayer Leverkusen, about 20 meters from the line of the Hamburg team's penalty area in the middle, was about 20 meters away from the Hamburg team's penalty area line, and was about to change direction to the right, but Arslan accurately judged the direction.

Although Arslan did not succeed in breaking the ball, the ball touched his outstretched left leg and was caught by central defender Machioni, who was not far away.

Seeing the football snatched by his team-mates, Badelli quickly moved towards Marchioni. And Macchienni didn't hesitate and quickly passed the ball to the heart of the Hamburg team.

The switch between the two sides was so abrupt that when Badelli received a pass from his team-mate, Lars-Bender and Haegler simply didn't have time to flank him before he could make the switch.

So, after Badelli successfully completed taking the ball and turning, he still had time to look up and observe the position of the two sides on the court at the moment.

The next moment, when Badelli saw that Son Xingmin and Feng Quan were surrounded by defensive Bayer Leverkusen players, he first prepared to pass the ball to Son Xingmin, and then waited until Lars Bender, who quickly rushed towards him, subconsciously moved his center of gravity in the direction of the left side, but passed the ball to the relatively empty right side.

At the same time, just as Badelli distributed the ball to the right wing, Feng Quan, who had been cruising near the halfway line, quickly completed the turn and moved towards the Bayer Leverkusen penalty area.

Immediately afterwards, I saw that Best was in the Leverkusen half, calmly receiving a pass from Badelli. Then, when Badelli took two steps forward, Japanese left-back Hajimehosogai, who had previously inserted an assist to the Hamburg half, quickly chased back to his side, and continued to make small moves to interfere with Best's dribbling.

Since Byste's speed and strength do not have any advantages, it is not easy to get rid of the other party's entanglement under the interference of Xibei Meng. So, with his arms stretched out and barely protecting the football at his feet, his eyes quickly scanned some of the middle of the frontcourt. When he saw Feng Quan, who was about 15 meters away from the line of the Leverkusen team's big penalty area, was opening his hand to ask for the ball, he passed the ball without hesitation.

——————

Although the moment of Byster's pass, Rolfes quickly stuck to Feng Quan's side.

However, Rolfes, who did not have much advantage in terms of strength, was still blocked behind him by the wind with open arms.

The next moment, when Feng Quan caught the ball, he first blocked Rolfes's continuous push with his left arm, and then quickly swung his right leg backwards to prepare for a forced long shot.

Although Feng Quan was still at least 30 meters away from the goal of the Bayer Leverkusen team at this time, after seeing the power of his long-range shots in the previous two games, before the start of this game, Hyypia warned his players that he must not let Feng Quan easily complete a long shot in the game.

So, seeing that Feng Quan was about to force a long shot, Rolfes quickly made a falling tackle to try to block Feng Quan's long shot.

At the moment when Rolfes completed the "falling to the ground" action, Feng Quan's face suddenly showed a subtle smile. Immediately afterwards, he flicked the ball sideways to the right with the outside of his right foot, dodged the opponent's falling tackle, and then killed directly in the direction of the Bayer Leverkusen penalty area.

After seeing that Feng Quan was free from Rolfes's entanglement, central defender Philippe Wollscheid rushed in the direction of Feng Quan.

In the face of Walshid, who rushed over, Feng Quan first quickly made two bicycle movements, and then changed direction to the right, easily dodging the opponent's marking. He then dribbled into the Bayer Leverkusen penalty area.

The next moment, when goalkeeper Berndleno chose to abandon the goal and pounce at his feet, Feng Quan first smashed the ball with his left foot, dodged a little space, and then pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the Bayer Leverkusen goal with the arch of his right foot.

Just five minutes into the second half, Hamburg finally tied the score at 1-1 with Feng Quan's goal......
