As time passed, the pace of the game gradually accelerated, and the battle between Wolfsburg and Leverkusen in the midfield became more intense.
The tactical strategy of both sides is very obvious, which is to gain control of the midfield and then hit the opponent behind.
Especially Leverkusen, they invest more troops in pressing than Wolfsburg. Four or five people often surround Wolfsburg players.
Therefore, this resulted in Leverkusen's formation being very compact.
But at the same time, there is also a hidden danger of being attacked, which is to defend the weak side.
Wolfsburg, on the other hand, focused on Leverkusen's defensive weak side.
The idea is good, but in fact it is difficult for Wolfsburg's players to move the ball away from the defensive side and then attack immediately.
Leverkusen's pressing was very good, and the division of responsibilities was very clear.
One or two people press closely against Wolfsburg's ball-carrying player, forcing the ball-carrying player to be unable to turn around, and the others keep an eye on Wolfsburg's supporting players nearby.
This makes it very difficult for Wolfsburg to move the ball to the other side amid such heavy siege, and the success rate is relatively low.
And even if Wolfsburg succeeds, Leverkusen's defensive focus will shift very quickly.
As long as Wolfsburg delays even a little bit, this offensive opportunity obtained through transfer will disappear immediately.
Leverkusen obviously knows where their formation's weaknesses are.
In the 5th minute of the game, Vierinha received a return pass from Caligiuri on the right center line.
Before he could stop the ball, six players from Leverkusen surrounded him from all sides.
There are four players in front of Vierinha, standing in twos and twos, building a layered defense and locking Caligiuri on the sideline who is retreating to support.
There is also a Leverkusen player standing on the line passing the ball to the ribs and the center.
Vierinha couldn't even drop back with the ball, because Leverkusen forward Kiessling was waiting for him to go back.
Before anyone could press him closely, Vierinha turned towards the center circle and pretended to pass the ball long.
Three Leverkusen players quickly rushed over and started to fight.
After successfully attracting Leverkusen players, Vierinha dunked and flicked his feet, quickly turned around and took the ball to the sideline, and then sent a long pass forward.
Caligiuri caught up with the ball from the outside of the penalty area, but was blocked behind him by Leverkusen's left center back Spasic in time.
The two started fighting in front of the baseline.
But Spasic is a central defender and has a strong ability to protect the ball. He turned Caligiuri around and passed the ball forward along the wing.
But Vierinha got the ball again.
However, before Vierinha's ball could stop, Calhanoglu and Son Heung-min rushed in front of and behind him, causing his plan to move to the center and left half to fail again.
He wanted to cooperate with Gustavo who came to the wing, but this time he failed.
The two of them were directly surrounded by seven Leverkusen players.
The ball was lost quickly.
And our side of Fort also quickly launched a counterattack, and even Naldo went over to participate in the siege.
The two sides formed a four-on-four eight-man melee in the ribs.
But in the end, the ball still stumbled and Bellarabi hit Kiesling in front of the center line, forming a good offensive opportunity.
At this time, only Chu Zheng was left behind in the Wolfsburg half.
Seeing Keesling take the ball, Chu Zheng, who was running ahead, slowed down and kept the four positions distance from Keesling.
Chu Zheng knew exactly what he should do at this time.
After a few breaths, when Keesling brought the ball to the center of the attacking third zone, Nardo, Rodriguez and Vierinha were basically in place, forming a line of defense with Chu Zheng.
However, Kiessling also distributed the ball to the right side of the top of the arc at the moment when Wolfsburg's defense reorganized.
The moment he caught the ball, Bellarabi suddenly stopped the ball to the left with the inside of his right foot, catching Rodriguez off guard in front of him.
Then Bellarabi turned around and followed up, raising his left foot to shoot.
Then in the next moment, a blue figure came into his sight, and then kicked the ball away.
"Wow!!!!!!"
Suddenly, there was a violent sound of annoyance on the Bayer Arena.
The Leverkusen fans in the stands could see it very clearly.
Bellarabi's stop actually opened up space for the shot. As long as he can successfully kick the ball, he will definitely be a huge threat to Wolfsburg's goal.
"Tsk tsk! Another prediction in advance, Chu Zheng is playing more and more confidently!" He Wei said with a smile in the live broadcast room of the sports channel.
They saw it clearly from the live broadcast just now.
Bellarabi's side had just stopped the ball, and Chu Zheng's side also started to attack the ball at the same time, giving people the feeling of being able to predict the future in advance.
"Chu Zheng has obviously seen through Rabbi Bella's intention in advance." Zhang Lu also looked a little surprised and laughed: "Chu Zheng's defense has always been very smart. His defense this time is like a snipe and a clam.
The fisherman fighting for the back, hehe!"
"Haha!" He Wei laughed loudly after hearing Zhang Lu's interesting description.
"Chu Zheng has really made great progress, especially his unhurried and calm temperament when defending. I have to secretly worry about him every time I watch him!"
"Otherwise, why would you get the nickname old dog?"
"Brother, the word "steady as an old dog" is used to describe Chu Zheng!"
"..."
Fans in the live broadcast room were also chatting away.
On the field, after Leverkusen's attack, Wolfsburg also ushered in its first goal attack of the game.
In the 8th minute of the game, Wolfsburg received a foul ball from the left side of the backcourt of their own half.
Rodriguez threw forward.
Dost still managed to get the first shot despite being double-teamed.
He tipped the ball to Gustavo in the left front rib.
Before Gustavo could get the ball, he saw Kiessling charging towards him with great momentum, so he was unsure of stopping the ball at his feet and passed it to Chu Zheng with his left foot.
Seeing the ball coming, Chu Zheng raised his left foot and swung the ball without stopping. The ball was immediately transferred to the right half of the ribs.
At this time, almost all Leverkusen players were concentrated in Wolfsburg's left half.
Chu Zheng's transfer of the ball made dozens of scouts in the stands light up, and they hurriedly lowered their heads to record their findings.
This foot transfer seems ordinary, but it is actually the best time to switch offense and defense.
Sure enough, after receiving Chu Zheng's pass, Vierinha rushed forward.
At the same time, Caligiuri and De Bruyne in the center circle quickly participated in the attack.
One of them leaned to the right, and the other moved forward along the middle, and they instantly restrained Bonisch and Spasic.
At the same time, Leverkusen's defensive focus is quickly shifting to this side.
Three or four seconds later, Vierinha crossed the center line with the ball and came to the wing.
By this time, Leverkusen's middle and back lines of defense had been quickly constructed.
Son Heung-min is on the right side of Vierinha.
However, just when he was about to move forward and press, Vierinha suddenly lifted the ball at a 45-degree angle and lobbed the ball towards the center of Leverkusen's penalty area.
His long pass was extremely sudden.
Before the penalty kick in Leverkusen's penalty area, Dost followed up.
At this time, in front of him is center back Papadopoulos, and behind him is right back Hilbert.
However, the two men made mistakes in cooperation at this critical time point, and no one went to defend Dost personally.
The next second, the ball fell accurately towards Dost.
In front of Dost, Papadopoulos took off and jumped to the top.
Hilbert behind Dost was already too late to go up and mark Dost at this time.
Facing the falling ball, Dost took off after a beat, jumped sideways and shook his head, hitting the ball accurately.
Suddenly the ball went straight to the left side of the goal.
In front of the goal, Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno flew to the right and dived sideways.
However, Dost's ball was not only powerful, but also very sneaky. It bounced on the end line of the small penalty area and changed the line, making it more difficult for Leno to save. Leno could only watch the ball bounce.
Goal goal.
Witnessing the birth of this goal, all Leverkusen fans at the Bayer Arena were stunned.
"oh!!!!!"
“Dost!!!”
"Beautiful!!!!!!" Zhang Lu and He Wei exclaimed in the sports channel live broadcast room.
"This is efficiency. It seems that Wolfsburg players are in very good condition in this game!!!"
"Leverkusen missed the ball! Papadopoulos made a misjudgment. He wanted to clear the ball directly in front, but he missed the ball."
"Hilbert also took it lightly and trusted Papadopoulos too much!"
On the field, after Dost scored a goal, he opened his arms and went to the center circle to join Chu Zheng and others in celebration.
In the stands, Leverkusen fans were lamenting Dost's good luck.
But is Dost really lucky?
Soon, Dost used his craziness to tell all the fans paying attention to this game why he would start every game after Olic left.
After the game restarted, Leverkusen was in disarray because of the conceded goal, and the players' thinking was inconsistent.
Wolfsburg directly picked up the rhythm of the attack and launched a wolf pack-style attack, constantly pushing Leverkusen's formation back to their own backcourt.
In the 14th minute of the game, Caligiuri's cross from the wing allowed Leno to punch out with both fists.
Calhanoglu rushed to the top of the key and made a big kick.
But the ball couldn't see the distance, and the ball landed just seven or eight meters away.
Chu Zheng was about to retreat, but when he saw the ball falling behind him, De Bruyne was already almost at the landing point.
So he slowed down and prepared to block the Leverkusen midfielder Castro who was rushing from behind for his good friend.
Seeing that Chu Zheng was trying to block him, Castro was also a fool. Instead of going around, he rushed over and pushed Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng was more straightforward and fell directly to the ground. Then the referee Bastian blew the whistle and awarded Wolfsburg a free kick about 38 meters away from the goal.
Free kicks from this distance are Naldo's specialty.
One point later, Naldo, who was running up, hit the goal with a heavy kick.
The ball flew past the right side of Leverkusen's three-man wall, turned a C-shaped arc in the air and went straight to the left side of the goal.
In front of the goal line, Leno pounced to the right.
But the force of Naldo's shot was really terrifying, and it also bounced the ball.
The ball bounced off the ground in front of Leno's hands and went into the goal.
Seeing Big Brother score another such magical free kick, Chu Zheng was so envious that he almost drooled.
In Chu Zheng's eyes, Nardo's shot was really outrageous. It was obviously not in a good position, but it happened to go in.
And this second goal also caused the Bayer Arena to scream again.
On the sidelines, Dieter Heijing was also a little stunned. He never expected that the team's efficiency was so high today, and both shots were scored.
This shot conversion rate is 100%!
