He said before the game that Hao Qiang's threat could not be ignored. During the game, Hamburg's blockade against Hao Qiang reached an unprecedented level.
The two central defenders combination of Westermann and Demel always blocked Hao Qiang from the front.
Yarolim, the midfielder, pressed closely against him.
Such a blockade made it difficult for Hao Qiang to even play his fulcrum role.
Either a large-scale retracement is of little significance.
Either go forward and grab the ball directly towards the goal.
Although Hao Qiang was trapped in a tight siege.
Hamburg, however, could not completely block Leverkusen's attacking team.
When Vidal, Barnetta, Sam, and Augusto moved to the frontcourt, Hamburg's midfield defense could not completely restrict their performance.
In the early stages of the game, the midfield team actively provided Hao Qiang with the ball.
Deliver threatening balls in the front area of the penalty area, or make crosses from the wing at a 45-degree angle.
The effect is average.
Heynckes burst into laughter on the sidelines.
I don’t know if I am too harsh on the players.
As a result, they became the same!
Hao Qiang has never been able to seize the opportunity, or in other words, if he wants to seize the opportunity under a flanking attack, he needs to have the ability to absolutely crush the opponent's defense.
Demel and Westerman were satisfied after every successful defense against Hao Qiang.
Confidence is written on his face.
He even gave Hao Qiang a demonstrative look.
Hao Qianghun didn't care.
Amin Fei scratched his head as he watched from the sidelines.
Hao Qiang was frozen, but it seemed like Leverkusen's other offensive players were soaring!
Because they didn't get much interference.
Heynckes gestured to the players on the sidelines.
Leverkusen immediately switched to an offensive style of play.
They all also woke up.
At this moment, Hao Qiang has exerted his diversionary role to the extreme.
Generally speaking, the ultimate in offense and defense is the pair effect.
One for one.
But Hao Qiang can't say one for three now, but the effect of one for two is definitely more than enough.
Leverkusen does not need to concentrate its firepower to create opportunities for Hao Qiang.
If Leverkusen's offensive style always only creates opportunities for the center, then their offense will definitely be targeted and restricted.
The ideal offense would definitely be more blooming.
The east is dark and the west is bright.
After you sing, I will appear.
It's just that because Keesling is recuperating from injury, Hao Qiang is the most stable scoring point.
Previously, Heynckes needed the team to strengthen its core style of play. When Hao Qiang has the opportunity and space to perform, his priority must be first.
Hamburg's offense did not cause much trouble in the frontcourt.
There is no doubt about the encirclement and suppression ability of Leverkusen's midfield team.
Tough, decisive, even ruthless.
The characteristic of Heynckes' coaching is to simplify the complex while giving full play to the traditional characteristics of German football.
When some teams began to imitate Barcelona's passing and controlling tactics, Heynckes remained unmoved and did not think that tactical play was very advanced.
If he is given a group of players of the same strength, he also firmly believes that his tactical play can restrain the pass-and-control tactics that are now popular in football.
In the 31st minute of the game, when the Leverkusen midfield team created opportunities for each other one after another, Sam broke into the right rib area of the penalty area under the cover of Hao Qiang, and Vidal's through ball was delivered.
Sam's powerful shot sent the ball into the near corner of the goal, which was the final word.
Leverkusen scores first!
After his teammates scored, Hao Qiang raised his eyebrows at Demel and Westerman, who both smiled.
Take a look.
So what if you block me?
Tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall is nothing more than a piece of chicken feathers?
Although the Hamburg generals realized that their surveillance of Hao Qiang consumed too many troops.
But they dare not relax.
It is really Hao Qiang's scoring efficiency that is so amazing.
In other words, instead of letting Hao Qiang get a chance, it would be better to let Sam fight.
Given the same number of opportunities, Hao Qiang's ability to grasp them will definitely be stronger.
This is the conclusion given by the data.
Of course you have to believe in science.
Leverkusen did play a period of indiscriminate bombardment, but the quality of the midfield team's shooting was not to be complimented.
In the second half of the game, Hamburg suddenly broke out with a strong offensive.
Pushed Leverkusen's formation back.
In the 50th minute, Van Nistelrooy's shot in the penalty area was blocked by Adler.
Hamburg's corner kick went to the back of the penalty area and was cleared by Reinerts, but was controlled by Ze Roberto on the outside. The latter went to the wing and re-crossed the ball.
When the football flew to the middle of the penalty area, Vidal, who was trying to clear the ball while returning to defense, kicked the ball into his own goal!
Own goal!
Wow!
Hamburg fans were extremely surprised.
Unexpectedly equalized the score.
Vidal lowered his head expressionlessly, probably cursing his mother in his heart.
The scene unfolded.
The two teams' offenses went back and forth.
But Leverkusen's tough midfield gradually began to gain the upper hand in the fierce tit-for-tat confrontation.
Break quickly after stealing the ball.
In the 62nd minute of the game, Leverkusen intercepted the ball in the center circle and made a pass back to adjust.
When Rolfes' long pass flew to the front of Hamburg's penalty area, Hao Qiang fought against Demel while running. He barely stopped the ball and was unable to turn around, so he passed the ball back to Vidal who followed up quickly.
Vidal, who was eager to make meritorious deeds, did not slow down. He made a strong stop and made a pass into the penalty area, and then shot and scored to complete his redemption!
Leverkusen 2:1 Hamburg.
After falling behind in the score, Hamburg became impatient and lost control of the situation.
Only 5 minutes later, Leverkusen stole the ball directly from the frontcourt.
After scoring the own goal, Vidal, who became more and more aggressive, successfully intercepted the ball from Trokhovsky, dribbled forward a few steps and then sent a direct pass.
Hao Qiang passed the ball forward and just as he entered the penalty area, he saw Demel and Westerman blocking his way.
He passed the ball across the left side lightly.
Banetta quickly cut inside and hit the ball into the left rib area of the penalty area and shot the ball into the far corner of the goal.
Leverkusen 3:1 Hamburg!
Pharma fans were ecstatic.
"Haha, Hamburg thinks that it can sit back and relax after blocking Hao Qiang?"
"Naive, so naive!"
"Hao Qiang has already assisted and scored twice. He is not completely frozen today."
"So Hao Qiang is an all-rounder!"
The burger mentality began to collapse.
Aminfe made substitutions, Son Heung-min, Elia, and Rincon, all in the midfield and frontcourt.
There are two speed demons deployed on the front line.
Hamburg launched a fierce attack on Leverkusen no matter the cost.
Leverkusen began to actively strengthen its defense.
After resisting Hamburg's strongest counterattack, in the 80th minute of the game, Leverkusen's quick counterattack produced a subtle combination of triangle passes and cuts in the frontcourt.
Castro made a long pass from the backcourt.
Hao Qiang took off in the dangerous area and won the header with Westerman in the air.
Because he chose to header the ball back.
The football flew behind him, and Vidal quickly followed up to stop the ball and adjust.
Sam reversed offside and cut inside, attracting the Hamburg defense to block it.
But Vidal passed the ball diagonally to the left area in front of the penalty area.
The unmarked Banetta immediately changed direction as soon as he touched the ball, got rid of the defense in front of the penalty area line and opened up a distance. After completing the adjustment, he fired a high-quality shot.
The football hit the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball.
Hamburg goalkeeper Rossiter put his hands on his hips and asked the sky silently.
Leverkusen 4:1 Hamburg!
Heynckes was smiling all over his face, and when he applauded and applauded, he seemed to be at least ten years younger!
All fans can see that Leverkusen has been trained to a strong level by him.
This Leverkusen team has a lot to offer!
Leverkusen made substitutions one after another.
Hamburg continued to attack hard, but the quality of Leverkusen's counterattack declined.
In the end, Hamburg got another goal back, and then the game was declared over.
Leverkusen won Hamburg 4:2 and continues to lead the Bundesliga standings!
After the game, Son Heung-min watched Hao Qiang exit the field and walk into the tunnel talking and laughing with his teammates. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
His performance after coming on as a substitute can be said to be zero.
He touched the ball a few times and did not pose a threat.
Leverkusen didn't take special care of him either.
Although Hao Qiang did not score a goal today, he had two assists. His overall performance will definitely be praised.
This gap will give Son Heung-min an uncomfortable feeling and the fighting spirit to work hard to catch up!
Perhaps what made him most intolerable was that Hao Qiang barely glanced at him.
...
Kicker: Leverkusen is setting records in team history every day!
Bild: China’s Warcraft misfire will not prevent Leverkusen from continuing to win!
After a week's rest, the final half of the Bundesliga will begin.
Kiessling has begun returning to team training and is expected to return from injury in the next game.
Kiessling, the team's top scorer last season, looked at the current situation of the team and he was really caught off guard.
Hao Qiang has almost matched his scoring statistics from last season in the Bundesliga.
This scoring ability is so powerful that it is beyond his reach.
At the same time, because the team played a 4141 formation, Keesling also began to doubt whether he still had a main position!
The winning team does not change.
As long as Leverkusen is on the winning track, there is really no need for Heynckes to take the initiative to change.
But Kiesling's return from injury will definitely be a huge benefit to the team.
At the same time, there is another point that Heynckes has to consider.
After the half-season league is over, Hao Qiang will respond to the call-up of the Chinese national team to compete in the Asian Cup!
The Asian Cup was held in January 2011.
If the Chinese team can go far in the competition, it may mean that Hao Qiang will miss several games in the early second half of the Bundesliga!
At this time, Kiessling's return is particularly important.
In the Bundesliga half-season finale, Bayer Leverkusen faced Freiburg, fifth in the standings, at the Bayer Arena.
Freiburg's ranking in the European theater is undoubtedly dependent on defense.
When the two teams fought at the Bayer Arena, the atmosphere at Leverkusen's home court was electric!
The fans of the home team not only want to witness the team's half-way victory, but also have the emotional stimulation of Christmas coming soon.
Freiburg held back Leverkusen's attacking group tit-for-tat, with frequent fouls interrupting the rhythm.
Leverkusen is constantly activating new offensive points.
In the 20th minute of the game, Kadlec went down the left wing and hit the wall with Barnetta, then delivered a threatening ball into the penalty area.
Hao Qiang touched the ball and changed direction, grabbing the line and getting stuck.
The strong confrontation ability makes it difficult for Freiburg center back Fromm to stop Hao Qiang with just one step.
Seeing that Hao Qiang was about to control the ball and get rid of it, Fromm stretched out his legs to break the ball, and at the same time locked Hao Qiang's left arm with his right hand.
Hao Qiang was the first to move the ball and kept it out of reach of the opponent. However, the opponent stretched out his legs to block him and locked his arms. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The referee's whistle sounded.
Point your finger at the penalty spot.
Fromm's eyes were splitting and he was instantly furious, and he spat trash talk at Hao Qiang.
Hao Qiang was about to retaliate, but saw Vidal rushing up and pushing Fromm away.
Vidal's positive energy made Hao Qiang dumbfounded.
He could totally change his name to Penalty Kicker.
Build merit by frequently firing points.
Vidal firmly occupies the position of the team's second shooter.
This time is no exception.
Vidal took the penalty and scored it in one stroke.
Leverkusen leads Freiburg 1:0.
Pharmaceutical fans are so happy!
"This is how we end the first half! 14 wins and 3 draws!"
"Hahaha, we are at least 17 points ahead of Bayern Munich! Let's see how Bayern Munich chases!"
"But we're probably only one point ahead of Dortmund."
"Dortmund will definitely suffer in the second half of the season!"
“This season will definitely end the Bundesliga’s history of not having a title!”
"Leverkusen, go, go, go!"
Leverkusen fans are very optimistic.
But the next game made them curse Freiburg.
Freiburg, whose formation was slightly higher, activated sniper mode.
Leverkusen's repeated threats were stifled by fouls.
This can't help but make people frustrated.
Before the end of the first half, Freiburg used a quick counterattack to penetrate Leverkusen's defense and equalize the score.
Leverkusen's generals are filled with resentment.
But they didn't complain, but they just had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Leverkusen started the second half with a strong attack.
Very radical attitude!
Freiburg instead retreated.
Look for the perfect opportunity to counterattack in a tight defense.
In the 58th minute, Freiburg once again scored Leverkusen's goal through a counterattack!
"No, it can't be?!"
"Is this being overtaken?"
“I have to admit that Freiburg has something to offer.”
Heynckes made a prompt decision.
Substitute!
Sam, Vidal and Rolfes exit.
Derdiyok, Kisling, and Balic appear.
Balic strengthens the defense in the middle of the midfield.
Augusto and Barnetta flew together on both wings with the assistance of the full-backs.
Derdyok, Hao Qiang, Kisling.
The three major centers, hit me!
Freiburg coach Dutt's face changed completely when he saw this!
Heynckes is so ruthless!
Three high center forwards dare to use it like this?
Crossing is the most basic method.
But Leverkusen dared to cut off other playing methods and only play crosses!
Freiburg also made substitutions to strengthen its defense.
However, the pressure and intimidation of the three high forwards in the penalty area made it impossible for them to face it easily.
Suddenly fell into a headwind situation.
Hao Qiangben applied for a gold card.
But looking at Kaká and Totti, he really didn't think how much improvement these two people could bring him when the team launched an air raid.
So I gritted my teeth and randomly used an ordinary football elite high forward card.
Leverkusen continued to bombard for more than 10 minutes.
Freiburg's counterattack was in turn met with a sniper attack from Leverkusen.
Freiburg's defense line was in disarray.
At the end of every Leverkusen cross attack, someone can be seen falling to the ground in the Freiburg penalty area.
When the game reached the 76th minute, Kiessling received Castro's cross at the front point, but he took the initiative and responded, making it impossible for him to turn his head and attack the goal.
So he didn't adjust his direction and chose to header the ball and rub it back!
The football seemed to bounce on top of his head before refracting and flying towards the back of the penalty area.
Deldy York didn't react.
But when the football fell to the left side of the small penalty area, Hao Qiang quickly rushed to header the ball and sent the ball into the goal!
He rushed into the goal, picked up the ball, held it in his arms and ran towards the midfield.
The Bayer Arena echoed with the hysterical cheers of Leverkusen fans!
"I knew it! When we fall behind, that man will definitely stand up!"
“Before, I was worried about Kissling’s condition, but now I have to give it a thumbs up even if I’m confused!”
"Freiburg forces us to play simple and crude ways!"
Freiburg really can’t stand it!
There are some strengths and weaknesses on the football field that are difficult to compensate for.
Such as speed, height, hardness!
Freiburg's two center backs cannot guard Leverkusen's three high center forwards. This situation requires them to either contain the quality of Leverkusen's crosses, or have an absolute advantage in local confrontations and competitions.
Leverkusen, who continued to bombard, were extremely determined.
This team has a very obvious characteristic.
What Heynckes said, they did.
Therefore, the team’s tactical execution is super strong!
Continuous high-altitude bombardment of Leverkusen forced Freiburg's entire army to retreat.
They have no advantage in fighting for high-altitude balls, so they mainly focus on limiting the ball from the wing.
In the 88th minute, Hao Qiang withdrew from the penalty area, and Banetta, who was surrounded on the wing, decisively sent a diagonal pass.
Hao Qiang took the ball near the top of the penalty area and turned around. He blocked the position with his body and then changed the direction of the ball to widen the distance between him and the defensive player.
At this time, I didn’t have to think too much and suddenly started shooting hard!
The football flew into the penalty area, hit defender Fromm's calf and then refracted into the goal!
Goalkeeper Bowman fell backwards and fell directly into the goal!
It’s over!
Hao Qiang roared and rushed to celebrate without paying any attention to Fromm, who had previously trash-talked him.
The Bayer Arena was filled with excitement. Fans of the pharmaceutical company looked at Hao Qiang in disbelief. Many people made a scissor hand gesture!
"Hao Qiang made a winning goal! The 21st goal in the Bundesliga this season!"
"He's coming, he's coming, he's coming with a goal!"
"Who is the best shooter in the Bundesliga? Only Hao Huang from the pharmaceutical company!"
