Chapter 104: A Fragmented Game
The game continues.
Calhanoglu led Bayer Leverkusen in a fierce offensive!
Nine of the Cologne team sat in the penalty area and hit the snake and hit seven inches.
Every now and then, the backline would rush out with a tall player to harass Calhanoglu, who used his physical superiority to ravage in various ways, and the scale of the aggression was very well grasped and did not cause fouls.
Kramer and Bender are worried about the defense at the back and can't always protect Calhanoglu.
This creates a vicious circle.
Midfield disjointed.
Bayer Leverkusen are scoreless!
"If you have empty ball possession, you can't convert it into a threat to attack!"
"Once Cologne took the lead, it was easier and easier to play, and their tactics were simple and practical."
"Bayer Leverkusen need to make adjustments."
Pitchside.
Old man Toph sat back in the coach's seat, his expression not changing much.
Dino and his fellow coaching staff immersed themselves in discussions.
Although Calhanoglu's weaknesses are well known in the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen can still relieve the pressure on multiple fronts if they can use him well.
The other side.
Cologne boss Stögel did not let up.
Constantly directing the defensive positions of the players.
The record can be bad!
The derby can't be lost!
As the game time goes by.
Bayer Leverkusen can't even control the middle!
Calhanoglu was repeatedly forced to steal!
The fighting gradually burned from the Cologne penalty area back to the centre circle.
There has been a subtle change in the psychological state of the Cologne players:
If you foul near the penalty area and let the opponent get a free kick, you will be at a loss.
If you foul near the center circle, there's no pressure.
Yellow cards can be eaten, and mortal enemies can't let go!
The real North Rhine derby!
It's officially launched!
Tens of thousands of Cologne fans sang the team song in unison!
The joy of leading by one goal will not fade easily.
Many of them carried ship flares and smoke bombs!
Turn the Rheinland Energy Stadium into a fireworks inferno at any time!
Well.
The extreme degree of some Cologne fans, the bus of Borussia Mönchen Club, is deeply experienced.
In the dead-ball phase, they don't forget to provoke the weak Bayer Leverkusen fans.
The crazy emotions gradually spread to the players on the field!
15th minute of the game.
Calhanoglu received a pass from a team-mate in the 40-metre area and was ready to push from the middle.
A sudden and ferocious flying shovel!
Bring him down!
The "perpetrator" is Modeste!
A new French black signing, if he wants to be supported by fans in Cologne, he not only relies on scoring goals, but also needs to show "blood" and "hard work" in the derby!
Beep!
The referee rushed to Modeste and pulled out the first yellow card of the game!
In the stands, the Cologne fans suddenly erupted in a wave of boos!
"The yellow card was timely, decisive and resolute! Let the players on both sides stop protesting! ”
Calhanoglu crawled to his feet, his expression was painful, he had caused the tragedy against Cologne last season!
"Today's Cologne squad has undergone a major change! With the capital to compete with Leverkusen! ”
"There's a little bit of a derby atmosphere!"
The game continues.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The score did not change.
The movement of the players on both sides is getting bigger and bigger.
Kiessling, Son Heung-min, Kramer and several other main players were fouled one after another.
Of course, as the heart of Bayer Leverkusen's game, Calhanoglu was the most devastated.
40th minute.
Kazuki Nagasawa sends a counterattack long pass!
Football is falling to Bayer Leverkusen's backfield again!
Modeste jumped high and was trying to make the ball to Yuya Osako, who was in a better position!
Bang!
There was a fierce hand-to-hand fight from the close-up sound equipment!
Bender is successful in the battle for the top!
The ball was ejected out of bounds!
The elbow of the Bayer Leverkusen captain was the cheek of the Cologne striker!
Beep!
The referee raised a yellow card while running!
"This yellow card is not controversial!"
"A good referee will have the balance of the game."
"Huh?"
Amidst the boos in the sky.
Cologne captain Hector angrily rushed to the scene of the incident and pushed Bender hard.
He is the quintessential example of a grassroots player in Germany.
Living in a small border town since he was a child, he was still playing in the community league at the age of 22, and he repeatedly hit a wall in trying out a number of Bundesliga clubs, and it was Cologne that gave him the opportunity.
Rheinland Energy Stadium, chaos!
The respective captains clashed.
The players on both sides did not stand in a daze, and rushed forward one after another, pushing each other!
In the stands, Cologne fans and Bayer Leverkusen fans also engaged in a battle of words, mixed with various dialects of North Rhine.
Pitchside.
Old man Toph couldn't sit still, so he led Dino and rushed to the fourth official and complained frantically!
Sturgel is not a pure-blood Cologne native and has not been in charge of the club for long, but in order to put on a show, he has to hold on to the nearest linesman to protest.
Calhanoglu walked a few steps slower, and he didn't know who hit him hard from behind, and the whole person fell to the ground.
The sweet scent of grass clippings came from his mouth.
The eyes of the king of the balls are slightly red.
Didn't you just pour five goals into it last season?
Isn't it just that after the game, I posted a photo of eating lamb chops on my social account?
As for targeting me like this?
The sound is like the night wind, and the heartbreak is very good.
No!
I want to cheer up, there is no difficulty, it cannot be overcome!
And the Champions League! Arsenal! I, Calhanoglu, will conquer the Emirates Stadium and shine in Europe!
Those who can't beat me!
It will make me stronger!
Bayer Leverkusen bench.
Brandt and a group of bench teammates are spraying people on the sidelines.
Havertz said with a worried expression: "Lee, it's good that the coach didn't let you start. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the Cologne players won't be able to take your punch. ”
Li Kang: "."
Bang bang bang
The canopy of the bench suddenly made a violent and rapid crashing sound!
The two looked up.
It's some of the extreme Cologne fans throwing debris!
What lighters, mineral water bottles, bananas, nail clippers, slippers are raining down on Leverkusen's bench!
Brant and the others hurriedly ducked back to their seats, and through the transparent glass awning, they angrily scolded the Cologne fans.
Europe has very strict quality standards for the awnings of the benches, and almost no bulletproof function is required.
The cause is a very sad thing:
In February 2009, during a match of the Junior Echelon of Atletico Madrid, the glass awning of the bench. It broke and collapsed, hitting the head of the nine-year-old Ribeiro, and finally suffered from serious injuries.
A moment later.
As the chaos on the green field subsided.
The fans in the stands also fell silent.
Match resumed.
There was little movement between the players of both sides. The hostility did not abate.
Every now and then, someone falls to the ground.
The scene fell into a dull one.
The game became fragmented.
When the first half is over.
The referee team was relieved.
Dino was worried: "Boss, are we really going to send Lee on the field?" The fans and players in Cologne are so savage! They're not the soft guys of Barcelona or South Korea! ”
Old man Toph picked up the beer can on the ground and thought for himself.
Said slowly:
"Feltings beer? The biggest advantage of the Bundesliga is that there is no alcohol prohibition! ”
"See? Cologne fans are also drinking beer endorsed by Lee! North Rhine's attitude towards the European competition is very consistent! ”
"They are sensible, they will not make any more drastic moves, and the game will return to its roots"
Syllable!
Another empty beer can, smashed on Top's head!
