Bayer Leverkusen suffered a comeback loss to Werder Bremen at the Bayer Arena.
The home fans looked confused and at a loss.
"Is this the punishment for squandering an opportunity?"
"Derdy York and Hao Qiang can't pee in the same pot!"
"Some players are in really bad shape!"
Heynckes shook his head slightly on the sidelines.
No one will question Deldy York's strength, but the problem is that not all capable players can work together to produce a positive chemical reaction.
Hao Qiang's performance proves that he is Leverkusen's current firepower.
Then the focus of the forward line must be Hao Qiang.
Unfortunately, when Keesling was injured and the midfielder was in poor condition, Hao Qiang's support dropped a lot.
You should continue to be disturbed by it.
A moment of kindness turned out to be a disaster.
Werder Bremen led 2:1, and head coach Schaff made decisive substitutions and adjustments to strengthen the defense.
Naturally, Leverkusen also needs to make substitutions.
In addition to starting to fight for their lives, they also need to replace some players who have proven to be in poor condition.
Vidal and Balic in the midfield are in poor condition.
Reinerts is the victim that the team needs to sink their teeth into.
Three people were substituted.
Center Jorgensen, midfielders Rolfes and Lars Bender appear.
Leverkusen converted to 343.
The three centers Hao Qiang, Deldy York and Jorgensen were looking for opportunities in the penalty area.
But he kept struggling in the encirclement of Werder Bremen.
The midfielder's operation efficiency is poor.
Both Bender and Rolfes are capable of both offense and defense but neither have strong organizational creativity.
Leverkusen's mindless rushing attack from the wing obviously creates very limited threats.
As the game passed 70 minutes, Hao Qiang gritted his teeth and retreated decisively.
Close your eyes to enter the system and open the warehouse.
Use Juninho decisively.
Exit the system and return to reality.
Leverkusen fans have already seen the team's problems.
The offense lacks creativity.
Although Ballack is definitely stronger than the young Kroos in terms of overall strength, Ballack is also recovering from injury, and Kroos has returned to Bayern Munich.
Leverkusen's midfielder's impact is obviously greater than creativity.
Perhaps in terms of summer recruitment, they still lack a midfielder who can continuously deliver threatening balls and control the rhythm of the game.
Now Leverkusen's two wings are flying together without any brainstorming, and Werder Bremen only has intense pressure in defense, but there is no difficulty in predicting.
Whichever side Leverkusen attacks from, they will strengthen the defense on that side, pursue and intercept to reduce the quality of Leverkusen's ball.
No matter how many Leverkusen forwards are in the penalty area, they will never get a good chance to score.
Werder Bremen fans are excited about the match situation!
"Hahaha, Scharf caught Heynckes off guard today!"
"I even suspected that he was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. In the second half, he used his strength to take away Leverkusen's defense. What a beautiful backhand play!"
"What if Leverkusen's Chinese striker continues to score goals? I'm afraid Leverkusen will have their unbeaten streak broken and their winning streak interrupted at home today!"
Werder Bremen are sure to win.
At least there was no sign of panic on the scene.
But when Hao Qiang obviously retreated, Jorgensen and Deldy York stayed in the penalty area for a long time to compete for points, which formed a huge contrast with the movement trajectory of his center.
Werder Bremen coach Schaff stood up and walked to the sidelines, gesturing to his disciples to pay more attention to Hao Qiang's threat!
He is more worried that Leverkusen's wingers will not be able to penetrate some of the defense lines, and will immediately play a combination of wing and center.
Don't be afraid of fixed-point output.
I'm afraid of a surprise attack from behind!
But Hao Qiang's next operation made Shafu frown.
I can’t understand it a bit!
Hao Qiang expanded his scope of activities after retracing his position.
Actively go to the wing to assist Leverkusen's full-backs and wide midfielders.
Banetta and Kadlec on the left are the more threatening sides delivering artillery shells.
Sam and Castro on the right are the more threatening side.
The characteristics of the two wings are still different and vary from person to person.
With Hao Qiang's active assistance, he frequently kicked the ball and interspersed his movements.
Leverkusen's wing attack created the threat of triangle passing and cutting.
Naturally, it brings greater trouble to Werder Bremen's defense.
Jorgensen and Deldy York each had a shot within 5 minutes, but unfortunately the final shot lacked fire.
Heynckes felt a little distressed when he saw Hao Qiang.
He is obviously the most capable center, but he ends up doing supporting work.
He originally thought that Hao Qiang was just going to assist the wing in attacking threats and improve his ability to deliver artillery shells from the wing.
He's more like a tool man who rushes in from the wing.
But in the 82nd minute of the game, when Hao Qiang approached the left wing in the dangerous area to receive Banetta's pass, Kadlec ran forward and waited for Hao Qiang to send a through ball to complete the match.
Werder Bremen's defensive linemen are also strengthening their defense against Kadlec's sudden attack, moving subconsciously and instinctively maintaining a reasonable zone defense distance.
They also predicted that Hao Qiang would pass the ball straight into the open area in front of the baseline on the wing.
But Hao Qiang pulled the ball when he touched it, turned around and passed the ball across the middle.
After the ball is released, he quickly moves towards the top of the arc in front of the penalty area.
Bender came up to provide support, instinctively touched the ball and then passed the ball to Hao Qiang.
There is no doubt that Hao Qiang has become the most important hub of Leverkusen's frontcourt offense at this time.
Werder Bremen generals were shocked.
Wrong prediction!
See Hao Qiang’s activity track.
The first reaction was that Hao Qiang would either rush in directly or shoot from long range!
The surrounding defensive players immediately rushed forward to encircle and block the situation.
In an instant, the number of players devoted to defending Hao Qiang was obviously large.
This caused Werder Bremen's defense to have a flaw in the penalty area!
A flaw naturally means an opening.
Hao Qiang was calmly assessing the situation when he touched the ball at the top of the penalty area.
With the blessing of Juninho's ability, he was unprecedentedly calm and greatly reduced his desire to shoot.
The brain's thinking also seems to have become extremely flexible.
He has a clear understanding of the situation on the field.
Before the encirclement was formed, he deftly passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area on the right side of the arc!
Deldy York and Jorgensen were naturally surrounded by defenders.
But when Hao Qiang's overhead pass was passed, Sam rushed inside to break away from the defense and seize the opportunity. When the connection with Hao Qiang was successful, the Leverkusen fans in the audience were stunned!
This pass is so magical!
Usually appears at the feet of top offensive organizers!
The defensive players in Werder Bremen's penalty area had no time to interfere with Sam. The latter was a little close to the bottom line, so hitting the goal was definitely the worst option.
The tailwind situation turned into a headwind situation, and Sam did not dare to waver.
After stopping the ball, he decisively passed the ball across the goal.
Mertesacker and Silvestre could only block Jorgensen, but they were unable to do anything against Derdyok who took the initiative to fight for the front point.
Watching Deldy York grab the spot and send the ball into the goal without being able to do anything!
Leverkusen 2:2 Werder Bremen!
The home team fans at the Bayer Arena were ecstatic.
Werder Bremen, from the coach to the players and fans, all looked at Hao Qiang running toward the center circle with stunned expressions!
