The big reason why Diego can't survive in Serie A is that even though Italy advocates defensive counterattacks, the Juventus that Diego plays for is a giant in Serie A.
When Juventus played positional warfare most of the time, it was difficult for Diego to perform effectively when faced with a dense defense.
Leverkusen first increased their pressing aggressiveness in the second half at the Volkswagen Arena.
Even though Reinerts couldn't guard Diego, he continued to suppress the opponent's state with repeated fouls.
When Heynckes was replaced, Leverkusen switched to a three-midfielder and two defensive midfielders, further restricting Diego.
With Diego being surrounded and suppressed, the opportunities for Grafite and Dzeko will continue to decrease, and the threat will naturally decrease.
Perhaps it was because of the two-goal lead that Diego himself did not put up a fight.
Wolfsburg gradually has a tendency to control the field and strengthen defense.
But after 75 minutes of the game, the situation on the field suddenly changed dramatically!
Hao Qiang took the initiative to come to the left to meet Kadlec.
Makoto Hasebe went to intercept Kadlec, who took the lead and sent a direct pass.
The moment Hao Qiang took the initiative, he rushed forward to the side.
Ritter made the mistake.
I was very surprised that Hao Qiang pulled me aside.
This center's size makes him look a little out of place when he plays on the wing.
But it's nothing new.
When Ritter turned to pursue again, Hao Qiang changed inward with a good sense of rhythm. He did not have a furious speed, but he always failed to find a chance to steal the ball when Ritter chased from behind.
When Hao Qiang crossed the ball towards the penalty area, Kjaer blocked the inside line and midfielder Josés retreated to support.
Hao Qiang diverted the ball with his left foot and broke in from the outside!
The zone defense between Kjaer and Josús still seems to be effective.
Deldy York and Jorgensen ran towards the goal to prepare for the goal.
But Kjaer turned and defended to block Hao Qiang's passing line. As long as Hao Qiang had the rhythm to stop and pass the ball, he would definitely block it.
Hao Qiang dribbled close to the baseline and made a pass.
Kjaer quickly raised his leg to block.
Unexpectedly, Hao Qiang chose to control the ball by smashing the ball with his feet, and did not pass the ball in the first time.
I took a slight step back to take a look at the situation in front of me.
All people.
Both Kahlenberg and Josús stepped in front of the goal to assist Barzagli in marking Leverkusen's two centers.
At this time, there was a vacuum area between the small penalty area line and the large penalty area line due to Hao Qiang's dribbling and the retreat of Wolfsburg's defense.
Before Kjaer could adjust and press closely, Hao Qiang sent a pass from the spot.
Deldy York and Jorgensen stopped suddenly at the same time and turned around to look back.
The ball was not passed to them.
The scene that caught their eyes made them both immediately run away.
But he saw Rolfes running into the penalty area to face the falling football and attack the goal!
The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball.
He ran into the goal against the lower edge of the crossbar.
The Wolfsburg goalkeeper was stunned.
The audience at the scene was also shocked.
Leverkusen's goal seemed easy, but it was so unexpected.
Hao Qiang's push from the side and the threatening suppression of the two centers brought about a cover effect.
Rolfes grabbed the space created and killed him with one blow!
Heynckes gritted his teeth and clapped, then signaled to the team not to waste time!
Leverkusen 1:2 Wolfsburg!
"My God, Hao Qiang is also very good on the left wing!"
"I told you he was all-powerful!"
"But being versatile and being able to do all positions are two different concepts!"
"Oh, then what I said is 'all-powerful'!"
The Leverkusen generals all ran towards the backcourt. When Hao Qiang returned to midfield, he nodded to Rolfes.
McLaren looked really serious at this moment.
He walked to the sidelines and gestured to the team.
Let the players cheer up!
But Leverkusen has gained the upper hand, especially the midfield attack on Diego that almost completely knocked the opponent out of shape.
It will be difficult for Wolfsburg to regain momentum even at home.
If there is a real danger, the team will foul decisively.
Hao Qiang has completely lived in the left lane.
Leverkusen's attack also definitely starts from the left.
Vidal organized the ball distribution, and Hao Qiang and Kadlec responded closely and cooperated to advance together.
The lead was reduced to one goal, and Wolfsburg also committed fouls on defense.
Ritter was the first to foul Kadlec and get a card.
Later, when Hasebe Makoto was robbed of his position by Hao Qiang's sudden pass, he also chose to commit a tackle.
In the 83rd minute, when Hao Qiang received a pass from Kadlec on the left side of the frontcourt, the latter rushed forward to go down.
Hasebe Makoto naturally blocked Hao Qiang's front line.
But Hao Qiang took control of the ball, took one step back and then suddenly cut inside!
Hasebe Makoto immediately turned around to block Galara.
The two were neck and neck, but Hao Qiang was pulled and pulled by the opponent. He kept control of the ball steadily and obviously used his right foot to fend off Hasebe Makoto with the left side of his body.
After three steps, Hasebe Makoto, who still couldn't pick up the speed, had to give up.
If Hao Qiang pulls harder and falls to the ground, he will get a second yellow card!
The eyes of Wolfsburg fans are full of disbelief!
"I can't hold this guy back, I can't hold him back!"
"Aren't Makoto Hasebe and him teammates on the national team?"
"Learn some knowledge about geography and culture. Makoto Hasebe is Japanese, and this guy is Chinese!"
After Hao Qiang got rid of Makoto Hasebe, he was intercepted by Jesus. He suddenly stopped and spiked the ball with his right foot, then connected with his left foot and continued to move forward.
Jesus couldn't understand it.
In his eyes, there is almost no difference in Hao Qiang’s bipedal skills!
Even the consistency of the shot with the left foot is even better!
No one knows that he is blessed with the ability of Giggs, the golden left foot.
At this moment, Hao Qiang seemed to be in a deserted place!
Kjaer decisively defended on the penalty area line, and he would foul even if he couldn't prevent it!
But when Hao Qiang got in front of him, he knocked the ball horizontally to the right.
As soon as he changed direction, he was blocked by Kjaer and knocked to the ground.
The referee hesitated and did not blow the whistle.
Because Vidal followed up from the center and penetrated forward, stopping and making passes into the penalty area.
Just as he was about to take a shot, Kahlenberg came from behind and stretched out his legs to steal the ball, but Vidal tripped to the ground.
After falling to the ground, Vidal rolled around and immediately stood up, turning excitedly towards the penalty spot behind the referee's finger.
He saw the referee's gesture and indeed pointed to the penalty spot.
Vidal immediately nodded and applauded.
Then he turned around and walked towards Hao Qiang, and took the initiative to hug Hao Qiang.
"The penalty kick is here! Hao Qiang's operation completely disrupted Wolfsburg's defense!"
"I hope Hao Qiang will take this penalty kick!"
"But Vidal doesn't seem to give in!"
Vidal really didn't give in.
Hao Qiang didn't try to grab it either.
Vidal sent the penalty kick into Wolfsburg's goal with a powerful shot.
He turned directly to find Hao Qiang to celebrate with him.
But Hao Qiang hugged him and ran towards the midfield.
"Wolfsburg has been fooled. This is a good time for us to reverse!"
Leverkusen players quickly ran towards the midfield.
Heynckes took a deep breath.
Finally equalized the score!
He applauded the players and made gestures, with a clear meaning: sink Wolfsburg with one go!
McLaren frowned, his expression extremely uncomfortable.
Leverkusen fans are celebrating wildly, belatedly taking the lead!
"Haha, Wolfsburg coach can't stop laughing!"
"You dare to laugh when you are two goals ahead? Go and find out what Monchengladbach gained in the end when they were three goals ahead?"
"Don't be like this, we were beaten by Monchengladbach and scored 6 goals at home. Is this worth showing off?"
