Chapter 329: Peace or ......
Playing Hoffenheim was torture! Twice the lead, as if the advantage was great, but both were beaten back by Hoffenheim. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Labadia thought of the match against Hoffenheim in the first half of last year's Bundesliga, how much advantage did Fürth have? Hoffenheim scored four goals, but was still dragged to a draw by Hoffenheim.
How similar is the scene now?
But now it is not Bayer Leverkusen who has the advantage, but Hoffenheim who is gaining momentum!
Labadia looked at the players who were still fierce at Hoffenheim, and then at the players who were tired and heavy, and his heart sank.
"Is it okay to tie?" This thought grew in his heart like a wild grass, and he couldn't cut it off at all.
Another Hoffenheim attack, Demba Ba hit the post. With a muffled "bang", the rebounding football was kicked out of the sideline by Friedrich, and the fans of Leverkusen were also shocked into a cold sweat.
With one less person to fight, Leverkusen's defense line is stretched, and he originally wanted to fight, but now it seems that there is no capital to fight!
"That's it!" Labadia sighed, and he walked to the sidelines to arrange a substitution.
This is the last substitution! In order to keep this score to the end, he could only replace one striker and replace one defender.
Helmers down, Sasha Doom up.
Helmers couldn't believe he had been replaced at first, and he stared at the sign, and yes, the red 9 was his number.
"How could it be me?" Helmers hasn't scored yet, and he hasn't solved his hatred yet!
Opening his mouth, Helmers tried to struggle, but in the end he lowered his head and walked slowly off the field in discouragement.
"Helmers didn't play well in this game, and he was a little too sticky!" Schmeichel said, "And the one-handed ball that Ibisevic hit just now was also initiated because Helmers was cut off by Beta. ”
"I think that's what made Labadia have a bad opinion of Helmers, so I replaced him...... Of course, Bayer Leverkusen also need to strengthen their defense now, and replacing Helmers and keeping Kiessling is a good option. Schmeichel guessed that he was not responsible for stirring up trouble anyway.
But not as he thought, Labadia would have a conflict with Helmers!
Labadia has a lot of shortcomings in terms of coaching experience and tactical adjustments, but he has come from the path of a top professional player. The psychological state of his players, in fact, he understands it very well!
After replacing Helmers, Labadia did not abandon him, but pulled Helmers, who walked down with his head drooping, to explain his distress on the sidelines.
Regardless of whether Labadia was fooling people or not, his attitude made Helmers very useful, and the mustard in his heart was also eliminated.
......
Back in the game, Beta was still looking for an opportunity.
However, he does not have the same obsession with scoring goals as Helmers, and if he doesn't have the chance, he will pass the ball to his team-mates.
But now that Bayer Leverkusen has tightened their defense, almost all nine of them are pressed in their own penalty area, Hoffenheim also feels very tricky in the face of such a bus.
They are not like Barcelona, they have good passing skills every time, and they are not afraid of buses when they penetrate.
Hoffenheim only have good passes, such as Salihovic, Kopado and Eduardo.
People like Ibisevic, Demba Ba and others can pass the ball, but the passing skills and passing awareness are a little unable to cope with this scene.
"You go up and open up the situation with a long shot!" Rangnick called Beta over.
Leverkusen's attack couldn't play, Rangnick decided to temporarily transfer Beta to the front line, he didn't expect Beta to score from a distance, but Beta's long-range shot was powerful, Adler may not be able to save, can cause chaos in Leverkusen's penalty area, maybe others can fish in troubled waters!
After Hoffenheim's tactical adjustment, Ibisevic and Demba Ba don't need to retreat to get the ball!
They went straight into the Bayer Leverkusen penalty area, scurrying back and forth, teasing the opposition defenders on the offside line from time to time.
On the periphery of the penalty area, Salihovic, Eduardo, and Copado roamed around, constantly passing and cutting the ball, giving Beta space to shoot!
Of course, they also have the opportunity to kick themselves, they also have the ability to shoot from a distance, and the four of them share each other's burden, so that Leverkusen's midfielders are miserable and don't know who to mainly target!
But Hoffenheim's goal was delayed!
Adler was the brightest one, saving Hoffenheim's two shots from the woodwork in just five minutes!
At this moment, he seems to have become the savior of Leverkusen!
The Leverkusen fans shouted Adler's name excitedly, and at this moment, they felt as if they had gone back to two years ago, when the young man came out of nowhere and saved all the shots for Leverkusen!
Schmeichel praised: "Adler saved Bayer Leverkusen and it was difficult for Hoffenheim's long-range shots to work under his defence. ”
"We all know that the best way to break down a dense defence is to shoot from distance! But now Hoffenheim's long-range shots are limited and they have no better way to crack Bayer Leverkusen's bus on the penalty line! ”
"As long as Bayer Leverkusen doesn't make mistakes and doesn't give Hoffenheim a chance to take a free kick, then Hoffenheim has no chance to overtake the score!"
Schmeichel was right.
Labadia and Hoffenheim have played so many times, and they also know that Hoffenheim's free kicks and beta have a high chance of success, so they have long ordered the players not to foul no matter what the situation, and not to give Hoffenheim a chance to take free kicks!
Even, they are not even willing to give a corner kick to Hoffenheim, Haji would rather take the risk of destroying the ball out of the sideline than kick it to the bottom line!
Little by little, the clock ticked to 87 minutes, and it was almost the end!
Beta is still running tirelessly, his speed is not fast, but his fitness is very good, and now he has played the whole game, and his condition is actually better than Schweigler, who was replaced in the second half!
"Damn, is he a robot? I'll catch my breath first! Schwegler had been guarding Beta for a long time, and he was about to be overwhelmed by his perpetual motion runs.
But his lazy thought immediately made Beta out of the gap!
Salihovic's pass came as expected.
Beta didn't hesitate and immediately stopped the ball - he didn't have that good ability to shoot without stopping, picked up his thigh, and slammed it into the bottom of the ball.
It's as powerful as his other heavy artillery, and it's not mixed with other skills.
Beta's skills are not yet good, and he can only hope that Adler will make a mistake.
"It's coming!" Adler stared at Beta tightly, and the fish leaped to his feet.
Beta's shot was not far from the box and would have been powerful, so Adler decided to save the ball instead of saving it.
He roared and threw his fists at the incoming ball.
But at that moment, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The angle is wrong!
When his fist met the football, it hit the bottom of the football, half a beat slower!
So......
