Chapter 122 New positioning, seamless integration!
Hao Qiang prepared step by step with the team.
Coach Heynckes is looking forward to the new season.
When paying attention to the preparations of each team, the German media commented on Leverkusen's Hao Qiang: He fits Leverkusen's style very well.
Leverkusen's characteristic style of play is more traditional, tough, decisive and pursues the overall goal.
Even though they hope to acquire talented stars, the club has never been that ambitious in the transfer market.
If the transfer fee for Hao Qiang hadn't been cheap, Leverkusen wouldn't have made a move.
Hao Qiang personally actively integrates into the team.
On the one hand, I also want to improve my German proficiency, so I naturally need to communicate more with my teammates.
Compared with Hao Qiang's joining, it will take time to prove the true value of this exhibition.
Ballack's return gives Leverkusen fans even more confidence.
Before the start of the new season, the German media predicted that Leverkusen's best result would be the top three in the Bundesliga, with a chance to compete for the championship, but it was not a favorite.
When Leverkusen started playing warm-up matches, Hao Qiang was basically familiar with everyone in the team.
I haven't been treated with much color here, and Leverkusen is relatively quiet.
Hao Qiang will take the initiative to learn from Balak.
As for offensive players, the technical ceiling belongs to midfielders Banetta and Augusto, but compared to Hao Qiang’s teammate Hazard at Lille, in terms of pure technology, it seems that Leverkusen has no one
Can have Hazard's speed and technical explosion.
But football cannot be played by one person.
The detours Azar has taken are still vivid in my mind.
With high fighting spirit, Hao Qiang performed quite well in Leverkusen's warm-up match.
In a warm-up match, of course he won't take the initiative to cheat.
The victory itself is of little significance. It is mainly a warm-up for the team to enter the competition period, and more attention is paid to the running-in of team skills and tactics.
Heynckes will focus on the 4-4-2 formation in the new season, and Hao Qiang and Kiessling are Leverkusen's double forward combination.
At first glance, it looks tall and hard.
How effective it is, the warm-up matches alone may not be convincing.
In mid-August, before the start of the new Bundesliga season, the German Cup took the lead.
Leverkusen is away to challenge low-level team Pirmasen.
A confrontation with a huge gap in hard power.
Hao Qiang's starting partner was Kiasling.
Augusto and Sam play on the wings.
Reinertz and Vidal played in the middle of the midfield.
The veteran defender Hyypia is in charge, and the others are also the main players.
Leverkusen looked like they were being cruel and had no intention of showing any mercy.
After the game started, Pirmasens defended at home.
Leverkusen pressed and attacked with full force.
Neither Hao Qiang nor Keesling are the type to work alone, so they need the support of the team and the task of being the fulcrum of the front line.
Both of them are acting as fulcrums, so their roles overlap somewhat.
On the contrary, it created opportunities for the four midfielders one after another.
However, in the midfield, there was a lot of thunder and a small amount of rain.
The offense was very lively, and the shooting was terrible.
Hao Qiang and Keesling both realized the problem and did not need Heynckes to remind them. They communicated with each other with gestures and then nodded in response.
The Bundesliga has many examples of this kind of double forward combination cooperating with each other. For example, the combination of Dzeko and Grafite destroyed the Bundesliga.
Hao Qiang and Kislin can serve as fulcrums or move forward, but they cannot work together.
It's no problem to push forward together and abuse the opponent, but playing against a strong team will definitely cause the offense to lack changes in offensive coordination.
Together as the fulcrum, the threat of the center is gone.
Therefore, the two must frequently support and cover each other.
One fulcrum is enough.
Whoever is the fulcrum will have to move forward.
In the 23rd minute of the game, when Hao Qiang received a pass from Sam at the top of the penalty area, Keesling quickly ran forward.
Even though Keesling was not sure whether Hao Qiang could pass the ball, he still ran decisively.
Hao Qiang controlled the ball and turned around to fight. After gaining space, he calmly delivered a through ball.
Keesling succeeded in countering offside, kicked the ball from the right side of the penalty area and sent the ball into the far corner of the goal.
Kiessling did not celebrate after scoring the goal, but turned around and pointed at Hao Qiang.
Hao Qiang high-fived him and hugged him, and the two walked towards the midfield together.
The dishonest German Cup is hard to prove anything.
But at least it is a good sign that the team can cooperate and achieve results.
Heynckes doesn't like fancy techniques and tactics, but it can't be said that he plays simply and roughly.
It should be said that he advocates the overall effect of German tradition, simplifies the style of play, and pursues efficiency and rhythm frequency.
Leverkusen opened their goal account and got out of hand.
Before the end of the first half, Hao Qiang scored a hat trick with a head kick and a kick!
Scored 3 goals in 20 minutes.
Leverkusen has been creating opportunities, and Hao Qiang's ability to capture and seize opportunities in the penalty area impressed his teammates.
This guy really has something.
But it still can't prove anything absolutely.
The opponent is too weak!
Completely unable to resist Leverkusen's attack.
The gap between strength and weakness is reflected in the fact that Leverkusen can pose a threat in almost every attack, and the threat is reflected in their ability to form shots.
Hao Qiang was replaced at the end of half the game.
Four days later the team will compete in the final round of the Europa League qualifying rounds.
Hao Qiang will definitely start.
Heynckes was satisfied with Hao Qiang's performance in the first half.
There is no need to keep him on the court.
After seeing that the effect is achieved, let him recharge his batteries.
Leverkusen continued to go on a killing spree in the second half.
In the end, the team slaughtered Pirmasens 11:1 in the away game.
Advance to the next round of the German Cup.
The Chinese media reported heavily on Hao Qiang's hat trick in 45 minutes.
But in fact, in Germany, the media only reports the scores of the German Cup matches.
There is basically no analysis or thinking about the content of the game.
It makes no sense.
The disparity between strength and weakness is too great.
Even though Leverkusen had a double-digit win, let alone causing a sensation, even their own fans didn't think it was anything worth showing off.
The start of the official game means that the club's preparations have entered the rhythm of the competition period.
In addition to regular ball skills, teamwork training, and aerobic training during training, Heynckes pays more attention to technical and tactical drills.
Compared to Hao Qiang in Lille, he is a front three that outputs crazy output and tries his best to create opportunities.
In Leverkusen, he, like Kiessling, was asked by Heynckes to take on more cover and support work.
Hao Qiang has no personal ideas. He will do whatever the coach says.
Thursday night, Bayer Arena.
Bayer Leverkusen hosts Tavlia from Ukraine.
The first leg of the final qualifying round of the Europa League started as scheduled.
Hao Qiang continued to start and made his first home appearance, but he found that the attendance rate was not high, less than half.
The opponent is unknown.
Come to think of it, I can't even put my strength on the table.
The Bundesliga will have its opening game this weekend.
Therefore, Heynckes' formation was somewhat restrained.
Midfielders Ballack and Barnetta both sat on the bench.
The team also boldly played a 352 formation.
Accompanied by a whistle.
Leverkusen patiently organized the offensive after the kick-off.
When Vidal and Augusto reached the frontcourt to pass the ball together, Kiessling advanced into the penalty area and waited for an opportunity.
Hao Qiang took the initiative to respond in front of the penalty area.
When he received Vidal's pass, he was pressed.
The physical contact to protect the ball prevented the defensive player from intercepting the ball, and then gently pushed the ball aside.
Defender Kadlec unexpectedly charged forward.
Compared to other forward teammates, Kadlec was more unexpected.
In response to Hao Qiang's pass, he took the ball and completed the adjustment in one step.
The shot that just entered the penalty area hit the far corner of the goal!
Leverkusen scored in the first minute.
A dream start!
Heynckes smiled and saw the team's performance and became more confident in the team's performance in the new season!
