Chapter 219: The Last Hour of Madness
"Beautiful, a wonderful solo performance, at this moment I felt like I was seeing aliens from the Barcelona period. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" CCTV Bundesliga commentator He Xiaowei said excitedly.
"Well, Feng Quan's goal is really beautiful. Not only did he fully demonstrate his skillful dribbling skills, but his excellent physical condition was also an important condition for this wonderful goal. Broadcast guest Zou Ning echoed.
"That's right. Feng Quan's physical condition is indeed very rare among football players. In general, players who are fast and agile at their feet are relatively weak in terms of physical strength and confrontation ability. However, Feng Quan not only has the world's best speed advantage, but also his physical strength and physical flexibility are also very outstanding. He Xiaowei continued.
"The reason why Feng Quan has such excellent physical conditions is mainly due to the fact that he has been engaged in decathlon training for many years. There is a saying in sports circles that athletics is the foundation of all sports. Around the 90s of the last century, the rise of the American soccer team had a lot to do with their country's strong track and field foundation. Many of the American players in that group were track and field athletes. There are also a small number of players who only changed their football programs until high school or even college. Zou Ning said.
"Hehe, Director Zou, I think if domestic clubs can set up a sound scouting system like professional clubs in Europe and the United States, maybe they can solve the problem of scarcity of Chinese football population from among domestic track and field athletes. Perhaps, in this way, more winds can be excavated in the track and field world, but I can't say for sure. He Xiaowei teased......
ββββββ
Just when Bayer Leverkusen's head coach Hyypia was thinking about how to make adjustments to the changes in Hamburg's lineup, he never thought that Feng Quan would score the equalizer so quickly.
Therefore, when Hyypia saw that Feng Quan had broken through the team's goal, a wry smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"Well, if we had made adjustments at the beginning of the second half, I am afraid that this goal would not have been conceded......"
However, the second half was just over five minutes into the game, and there was still plenty of time for Bayer Leverkusen to take the lead again.
So, after stabilizing his emotions, Hyypia quickly adjusted.
Hyypia first brought on the team's forwards Kiessling and Gonzalocastro to "replace" Lars Bender and Hegler, and continued to be responsible for disrupting Badelli while Hamburg attacked.
Then he ordered Lars-Bender and Hegler to keep an eye on the wind.
After conceding the goal just now, Hyypia finally recognized the fact that if you want to contain Feng Quan's attack, you need to pay at least two or three people to do it.
ββββββ
After the game restarted, when He Xiaowei saw the Hamburg team attacking, Feng Quan's side suddenly had two more defenders, so he said: "Coach Zou, I don't know if you have noticed, just after Feng Quan scored that goal, Lars Bender and Haegler, who were originally in the front court to 'strangle' Badelli, have now begun to take charge of Feng Quan's marking work. β
"That's right, when Feng Quan and Son Xingmin switched positions and came to the middle, the 'strangulation' tactics implemented by the Bayer Leverkusen team in order to cut off the connection between Badelli and Feng Quan also lost their meaning." Zou Ning analyzed.
Although the wind is all under the guidance of Lars Bender and Hegler, the play on the field has been limited to a certain extent. However, when Feng Quan attracted the attention of the opposing two midfielders, it also made the other offensive players of the Hamburg team gradually start to play actively.
With 13 minutes to go in the second half, Badelli, who moved to near the top of the box and received Adler's goal kick, Leverkusen's Kiessling quickly moved up behind him.
Unable to turn easily, Badelli first shifted the ball to the feet of left wing-back Ogo. Then, after quickly bypassing Kiessling's close marking, he opened his hand to signal for the ball. And Ogo, who understood it, passed the ball back to the feet of Badelli at the first time.
Because Feng Quan attracted the defense of two Bayer Leverkusen midfielders at the same time, when Badelli bypassed Kiessling's marking, he took the ball directly towards the opposition half.
When Kiessling and Castro got back to catch up, Badelli again distributed the ball to Son Heung-min on the left flank, and then continued to move in the direction of the Bayer Leverkusen penalty area.
After receiving a pass from Badelli, Son Heung-min took the ball directly along the left wing. When he advanced six or seven meters with the ball, right wing-back Toprak also quickly posted up.
In the face of Toprak's marking, Son Xingmin first made a momentum to break through to the inside line, and then changed direction, breaking directly in the direction of the bottom line.
When Son Xingmin came to the left side of the penalty area with the ball, Rodfs, the defender of the Leverkusen team, had no choice but to give up the top of the penalty area he was guarding and rushed towards the position where Son Xingmin was.
After seeing Son Heung-min break through along the left wing, Feng Quan immediately moved towards the area on the right side of the front court in order to help his teammates open the space.
However, just as Rolfes rushed to a position about two meters away from Son Heung-min, the South Korean suddenly passed the ball to the open space in the middle.
The next moment, I saw that Bardelli, who was unmarked, first led the ball with his left foot, and then before Rolfes came back, he directly completed a heavy bombardment with his right foot 234 meters away from the goal of the Leverkusen team.
Although Badelli's long-range shot was powerful and the angle was not bad, Renault, who was highly focused, made a beautiful fish leap save to defuse the Hamburg team's attack.
ββββββ
Bayer Leverkusen, playing at home, were not to be outdone, and after Badelli staged a heavy bombardment, they also quickly fought back.
In the 17th minute of the second half, three Bayer Leverkusen midfielders played a series of brilliant crosses and cuts to distribute the ball to Schurrle on the left flank.
After Schurrle took the ball to the edge of the penalty area, he first made a gesture to break through in the direction of the bottom line, and when he saw Dickmeier's center of gravity shifting, he suddenly made a sudden stop, and then flicked the ball in the direction of the penalty area with the outside of his right foot, and successfully cut into the box.
In the next moment, before Westermann, who quickly made up for the defense, Schurrle rubbed the inside of his right foot and completed a curling shot.
However, just as the crowd at the Bayer Arena was about to cheer for the team's comeback, they saw the football hit the upper edge of the goal crossbar and flew directly out of the baseline.
Although Schurrle's shot could not help Bayer Leverkusen to overtake the score, the home crowd in the stadium still gave him a round of applause for this wonderful individual performance.
Although in the subsequent games, the Bayer Leverkusen team has always relied on the advantage of strength to occupy the initiative on the field. However, due to the threat of Fengquan's speed, the formation in the attack did not dare to be too forward.
Therefore, even if Bayer Leverkusen dominated the field, they did not pose much of a real threat to Hamburg's goal.
On the other hand, the Hamburg team, which was on the defensive, although there were not many opportunities to attack, with a few quick counterattacks, it still made the home team fans in the stands break out in a cold sweat.
However, just when the fans of both sides thought that the game would end in a draw, the two teams gave the fans a deep understanding of the true charm of the football game in the last five minutes of the game.
In the 40th minute of the second half, Bayer Leverkusen's Castro cut inside from Ogo on the right flank and cut to the top of the penalty area.
Lars Bender, who had already been ambushed at the top of the penalty area, took the ball with his right foot and prepared to shoot with his left foot.
But just then, Venezuelan international TomΓ‘srincon, who had just come on two minutes earlier to replace the declining fitness, tackled Lars Bender to the ground from the front.
In the next moment, the referee awarded a direct free kick to the right of Leverkusen about 22 meters from the goal, and at the same time showed a yellow card to the fouling TomΓ‘s RincΓ³n.
ββββββ
Adler commanded five Hamburg players to line up a wall in the near corner of the goal, after the referee blew the whistle to signal that a free-kick was available. Lars Bender, who created this arbitrary shot, first flicked the ball lightly, and then Rolfes, who was standing about three meters behind the ball, quickly completed the start and rushed towards the ball.
Then, when the players of the Hamburg team thought that Rolfes had a good long-range shooting ability and would choose to bombard the goal, the captain of the Leverkusen team unexpectedly pushed the ball into the box with the arch of his right foot.
At the same time, Castro, who had been hiding behind the Hamburg team's wall, suddenly came out sideways and took control of the football first.
Then, when the Hamburg player realised something was wrong and rushed towards Castro near the right-hand goal, he took a shot from a false shot and passed the ball towards the penalty spot behind him.
The next moment, Schurrle, who was still lying in ambush on the edge of the penalty area, quickly appeared near the penalty spot, and sent the ball into the top left corner of the Hamburg goal with a powerful right-footed volley.
Adler's view was blocked by both players, and he was unable to make any saves until the ball was in the net.
With the last four minutes left before the end of the game, Bayer Leverkusen, playing at home, finally changed the score to 2-1.
However, Leverkusen's head coach Hyypia thought that the overall situation of this game was decided. Then, in order to consolidate the team's midfield defense, and then replaced Kiessling and Schurrle, who scored one goal in each half, with two midfielders in succession, the game that should have been calm set off a wave again.
ββββββ
In the final minute of stoppage time, Hamburg won a corner from the left side of the box.
As this corner is likely to be the last chance of the game for Hamburg, except for Ogo who stayed near the center circle to prevent Bayer Leverkusen from counterattacking, the remaining nine Hamburg players, including goalkeeper Adler (Arslan, who was ready to take the corner), all gathered inside and outside the opponent's penalty area.
Then, with the approval of the referee, Arslan sent a very fast high ball to the position in front of the goal.
Although Bayer Leverkusen's Rolfes beat Westermann, the core of Hamburg's defense, to grab the first point. However, under Westerman's interference, Rolfes's header was cleared, but it was not able to send the ball out of the box. Moreover, the second point of football was also preempted by the quick-witted Rudenevs.
However, with almost all players from both sides gathered in the box, Rudneaves managed to finish a shot, but the ball bounced off Walsheed's back and bounced to the right outside the box.
Then, when the referee had put the whistle in his hand in his mouth and could blow the whistle at any time to end the game, Feng Quan, who had been ambushed at the top of the arc of the penalty area, saw that the football popped out of the penalty area, and quickly used the skill of [instant acceleration], and then the first one appeared near the landing point of the football.
Feng Quan first used the outside of his right foot to flick the ball horizontally to the right, and after flashing a little space, he completed a powerful shot with the right foot on the right side of the big penalty area.
Since the position of the full shot was less than 20 meters away from the goal, the ball still drilled into the top right corner of the goal after being blocked by his palm, although goalkeeper Leno flew to the right side of the goal at the first time.
Immediately afterward, the referee made a gesture indicating that the goal was valid, and then blew the whistle for the end of the game.
In the end, with Feng Quan's two valuable goals, the away team Hamburg struggled to draw with Bayer Leverkusen, who ranked second in the standings.
ββββββ
After the last round of the Bundesliga, Freiburg, who are provisionally ranked 8th, won 3-1 against Schalke 04.
Thus, after the first half of the Bundesliga, Hamburg slipped down to 8th place again.
However, the unbeaten record of four wins and one draw in the last five games still makes the senior management of the Hamburg club see the hope of the team to impact the European arena in the second half of the season.
Because after the end of this round of games, the Bundesliga will enter the winter break, so Hamburg's head coach Fink announced the start of the team's holiday after the game with Bayer Leverkusen. The squad will then regroup on January 4, 2013, and travel to Belek, Turkey, on January 6, for a week of training before returning to Germany for the second half of the Bundesliga season on January 20.
At 15:20 on December 16, Feng Quan and his agent Zhao Shijie boarded the flight of Lufthansa to the capital, ready to enjoy their first Bundesliga winter break...... (To be continued.) )
