Chapter 167 When the horror streak is in progress!
When Heynckes fell into a situation of betrayal and alienation, the German media was actually still looking forward to Leverkusen reliving its old dream: collapse!
Will the Sanya King of 2002 repeat itself again in 2011?
Leverkusen, led by Hao Qiang, massacred Twente at home!
Hao Qiang scored twice and was replaced by Heynckes shortly after.
Leverkusen fans applauded, cheered, and cheered for Hao Qiang, giving all their enthusiasm.
Then a small number of fans insulted Heynckes again and shouted at him to go to Munich!
Leverkusen's offensive quality has declined after substitutions.
But he still controls the situation.
In the 80th minute of the game, Deldy York scored a goal.
Rewritten the score to 5:0.
When Leverkusen's massacre was about to come to a perfect end, Twente pulled a goal back before the end of the game.
But it can no longer affect the overall situation.
The Leverkusen generals reunited their minds through this game.
Hao Qiang was interviewed by the media after the game and was still asked about Heynckes.
It seems that the media is deliberately creating a confrontation and break between Leverkusen and Heynckes!
The voices of some fans insulting Heynckes also reached Hao Qiang's ears, but he told reporters: "Currently we know that the head coach will leave Leverkusen at the end of the season, but he is still working for Leverkusen."
Sen is working hard, and we can feel that he is working hard to play his role and lead us to win. Leverkusen is still on the track to compete for the championship."
Although Hao Qiang was a little disappointed with Heynckes, he did not lose his mind and defeated Heynckes in one decisive move.
Although Heynckes was indeed too hasty in joining Allianz, which was very inappropriate.
But as far as work is concerned, objective evaluation has not changed.
It's just that the team had placed absolute trust in him in the past, but now it has to be greatly reduced.
Hao Qiang's post-match interview was praised by the German media as being highly conscious and well-structured.
Bayern Munich fans joked: Of course Hao Qiang cannot break up with Heynckes, otherwise why would he come to Allianz with Heynckes?
The 29th round of the weekend league has arrived as scheduled.
Leverkusen plays at home against St. Pauli, the second-last team in the league.
I thought Leverkusen should be able to win this game easily.
As a result, when returning to the league after playing in the European war, Leverkusen was used to being slow to start.
The state starts slowly and the rhythm is always tepid.
St. Pauli patiently defended and counterattacked, and at the same time became more aggressive on the defensive end from the beginning.
The two teams shook hands at halftime.
Back in the dressing room, Ballack gave an impassioned speech.
The effect is not good.
No one seemed willing to listen to him.
And he took the C seat to speak first, so it was hard for others to say anything.
But speeding up the attack in the second half is the general trend.
Leverkusen started a strong attack in the second half.
What was unexpected was that St. Pauli took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the 59th minute through a defensive counterattack!
The pressure and state fluctuations caused by multi-front operations are visible to the naked eye.
The Leverkusen fans in the stands at the Bayer Arena looked red in the face.
After eight consecutive league victories, the entire Bundesliga is looking forward to Leverkusen's defeat!
But Dortmund will not let up. If Leverkusen, which is 1 point behind the top spot, ends its winning streak, there is a high probability that Dortmund will leave the gap behind.
When Leverkusen fans were uneasy and panicked that the team's winning streak might stop at this moment, Hao Qiang stood up!
Decisively use a Ruud van Nistelrooy card.
The King of the Small Zone is here!
The environment in which Leverkusen suppressed St. Pauli did not change.
Hao Qiang ran flexibly in the penalty area and looked for opportunities.
In the 68th minute of the game, when Banetta delivered a threatening ball into the penalty area, Hao Qiang ran at the same time, as if he was in tune with him.
Even he himself felt that this was an instinctive capture of opportunities.
The moment he touched the ball on the edge of the small penalty area, he half-turned and fired.
Quick and accurate!
The football rolled into the lower right corner of the goal!
Hao Qiang rushed into the goal, picked up the ball, held it in his arms and ran towards the midfield.
Leverkusen fans have hope again!
Six minutes later, Leverkusen, which had gone through a wave of substitutions, improved its offensive rhythm.
Sam broke into the right flank of the penalty area and sent a cross from the gap.
Seeing that the goalkeeper was about to clear the ball, Hao Qiang took the lead and stabbed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal like a dragonfly!
The whole audience was shocked!
When Hao Qiang rushed to celebrate, his face was full of majesty and domineering!
Leverkusen 2:1 St. Pauli!
Hao Qiang scored twice to help the team complete the reversal!
When the team strengthened defensive control, Hao Qiang also actively retreated.
His running figure seems to have a charm that captivates all living beings, completely attracting the attention of every Leverkusen fan.
A regular program at the Bayer Arena is for the fans to collectively chant Hao Qiang’s name!
"Hao Qiang, Hao Qiang, so strong!"
Waves of momentum echoed throughout the stadium, shaking the sky.
When the game ended, Hao Qiang clenched his fists and saluted the Leverkusen fans in the stands!
But he was secretly relieved.
As the season enters its final stage.
Leverkusen's overall state fluctuations and instability are actually getting bigger and bigger.
For teams like St. Pauli that are relegated, we can see the clues when they have a very difficult time winning.
But Leverkusen, who are gritting their teeth and moving forward now, cannot lose!
Even before they overtook Dortmund in the league, they couldn't even tie!
Hao Qiang never considered whether he could persist to the end. He only knew that his persistent belief would not be defeated until the moment of real collapse!
After the game, all the Leverkusen players took the initiative to go to Hao Qiang, high-five and hug him, everyone was no exception.
Including Barak.
St. Pauli left sadly with a bitter defeat.
Although Heynckes noticed that his presence at the Bayer Arena was plummeting, he had no reaction.
Because he knows he asked for it.
He failed to leave in the most honorable way. Now as long as the team can win, he doesn't care that his authority is being weakened sharply.
Westfalenstadion.
In the cold wind and rain at night, Dortmund won Freiburg.
Dortmund fans celebrate as they continue to lead the Bundesliga standings.
Klopp learned the Leverkusen result from his assistant when he walked into the tunnel.
Nine consecutive wins!
Although Klopp had no expression on his face after hearing the news, his heart was in turmoil!
Leverkusen's strength was unexpected.
Especially in the context of Heynckes’ “self-destruction”!
This strength actually puts pressure on Dortmund to win every game!
Once they fail to win, Dortmund is likely to lose its top spot.
The league has entered the final sprint stage.
Leverkusen is on the verge of collapse.
But Dortmund cannot be absolutely trusted because of his youth.
The battle between Bayer Leverkusen and Dortmund has reached fever pitch.
Even the German media had to admit that such a fierce and stalemate championship situation has been rare for many years.
Although it was a little less exciting, it brought almost unbearable psychological pressure to the fans of both teams.
...
Hao Qiang went to the Netherlands with the team in the middle of the week.
Leverkusen visits Twente as a guest.
Hao Qiang, Vidal and other main players sat on the bench and were on standby.
Leverkusen challenges Twente with a rotating lineup.
The score of 5:1 in the first round gave Leverkusen a chance to advance.
Although Twente's attendance rate is not low, the expressions on the faces of the fans clearly have lost confidence in promotion.
Simply hope that the team can defend its dignity at home.
Leverkusen played more conservatively in the away game, and Heynckes also carefully arranged technical and tactical play in this kind of game.
Twente stormed, Leverkusen defended.
The game situation has always been stalemate, but Leverkusen's main strength has declined, and Twente's indiscriminate bombardment at home will surely gain something.
But Leverkusen's counterattack was also able to break their goal.
The total score never got closer.
At the end of the 90-minute match, Twente drew 2:2 with Leverkusen on the scoreboard.
They were eliminated with a total score of 3:7.
Leverkusen advanced to the semi-finals of the Europa League.
The triumphant Bayer Leverkusen is a guest to challenge Freiburg.
The 30th round of the league has arrived as scheduled.
There are only 5 league rounds left before the end of the league.
The fight for the championship has come to a critical moment.
Leverkusen's 9-game winning streak seems to be on the verge of reaching its limit in every game in everyone's mind.
Leverkusen, who played as a guest, did not consume much in midweek, so the impact was much smaller than last week.
Freiburg defended Hao Qiang tightly at home.
They deployed a large number of defensive forces to contain Hao Qiang's threat.
Hao Qiang keeps his mentality stable and achieves a containment effect, giving his teammates more room to perform.
It's nearing the end of the first half.
The midfielder took turns bombing with long-range shots. Balic finally seized the opportunity in the penalty area and shot through Freiburg's goal.
Leverkusen leads Freiburg 1:0 away from home.
Return to the court in the second half and change sides to fight again.
Leverkusen took the initiative to lower the tempo and control the situation.
Hao Qiangding has lost its meaning in the front.
Freiburg did not relax its defense on him even after conceding the ball.
If Leverkusen frequently outputs on the offensive end, Hao Qiang's containment effect can also contribute to the team.
But when the tempo slows down, most of the time his wandering in the frontcourt is in vain.
So he returned to the midfield to help his teammates control the field.
At the same time, we also pay attention to the changes in the frontcourt situation.
When the game passed 75 minutes, Freiburg took the initiative to speed up and tried to make a final effort.
But just 5 minutes later, Hao Qiang over-coordinated in the midfield to ensure that Leverkusen's fast break could smoothly advance to the dangerous area of the frontcourt attack.
Vidal sent a wonderful pass to Kiessling, who scored with a single shot!
Leverkusen beat Freiburg 2:0 away from home!
The fans cheered and the commentator exclaimed!
"Ten consecutive wins! Leverkusen will win ten consecutive league victories from the day Hao Qiang returned from the Asian Cup on February 5 to today!
Leverkusen continues to put pressure on Dortmund with an extremely strong attitude!
The first league championship in team history may be coming, and their efforts should be respected by everyone!"
At the end of the game, the Leverkusen generals gathered in a group on the court. They hugged each other and bent over, shouting slogans together to continue their winning streak!
Heynckes looked at the disciples who used to trust each other, and he smiled happily.
Then he turned around and silently walked into the players tunnel.
He will face his selfishness calmly, but it does not mean that he has truly abandoned Leverkusen.
Some coaches can't bear to leave the center of the spotlight, but Heynckes has experienced vicissitudes of life and he knows it well.
The best result is definitely to lead Leverkusen to win the first league championship in team history.
Once the dream becomes reality.
His departure will certainly be understood by most fans.
Because he will go down in Leverkusen's history.
No one can erase it.
At the same time, he also hoped that these disciples to whom he had devoted his efforts would become successful and successful.
Then his two years coaching Leverkusen will be more meaningful.
...
Leverkusen continues its winning streak.
Dortmund coach Klopp felt incredible about Leverkusen's tenth consecutive victory in an interview in midweek!
But he is still full of confidence and believes that Dortmund can also win ten consecutive games!
In fact, Dortmund has also achieved a brilliant record of 8 consecutive victories.
There was no fighting in midweek, and Leverkusen was able to rest and recuperate.
During the break, Catherine took Hao Qiang to see the house again.
Whether it's a villa or a manor, Hao Qiang looks good.
But I have no urge to buy.
He is still very rational when it comes to consumption.
Maybe it's because I grew up in a good family, so I don't feel like a nouveau riche who wants to spend all the money in my pocket.
I have never thought of showing off my wealth.
When German media reported that Hao Qiang was preparing to buy a house in Germany, they commented: Hao Qiang is preparing to give himself a stable future.
The weekend comes to the 31st round of the league.
Leverkusen faces Hoffenheim at home.
Hoffenheim, which is ranked in the middle of the league, has undergone changes this season.
The style hasn't changed much.
Full of passion and talent, there will always be exciting new stars in the team.
For example, Firmino, Sigurdsson, including David Alaba, who is on loan from Bayern Munich.
Leverkusen must strive for victory at home.
Therefore, we played very proactively at home.
This creates an environment for Hoffenheim to play offensive football.
The two teams competed fiercely, with back and forth, and the scene was full of passion.
Hao Qiang is still the target that opponents focus on restricting and defending.
He patiently creates opportunities for his teammates.
However, Kiessling and Vidal missed good opportunities one after another.
And Hoffenheim is also a bit stretched.
Babel on the striker even kicked a single goal away.
Mrapa's shot also made the fans beat their chests.
In the 28th minute of the game, Icelandic sniper Sigurdsson knocked on Leverkusen's goal with a powerful shot from the penalty area!
The atmosphere at the Bayer Arena was unprecedentedly oppressive, and the inner tension of Leverkusen fans was palpable.
It is feared that the team's winning streak will be interrupted, causing Dortmund to be left behind in the standings and declare failure in the championship.
The Leverkusen generals clapped to each other to boost morale.
The players' emotions are very stable.
When they made a tacit understanding that they no longer expected Heynckes to give everything for them, all they could count on were themselves and the teammates fighting alongside them!
United as one!
Brilliant!
Hoffenheim was in a state of excitement after scoring the first goal.
But then they discovered that the entire Leverkusen team was going crazy and pumping up the pace!
Every player seems to be sprinting non-stop, actively counterattacking, and defending in zones. When attacking, more figures appear running in and out of the frontcourt.
Although the fast pace brought more mistakes, Leverkusen players did not blame each other and blame each other. Even if they made a passing mistake or failed to coordinate the passing and running, they would immediately gesture to each other and take the initiative to apologize.
In the 40th minute of the game, Hao Qiang received Banetta's pass in the penalty area, but seeing the defensive situation around him, he chose to control the ball and retreat to pass the ball back.
Vidal rushed up and sent an overhead pass.
Hoffenheim's defense was suddenly caught off guard.
Kadlec ran in less than 5 yards from Hao Qiang and cut into the left side of the penalty area. He faced the falling football and directly rushed towards the goal!
The football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball!
The crowd at the Bayer Arena is in full swing, and pharmaceutical fans are excited!
Kadlec stood up immediately after scoring the goal, rushed into the goal, picked up the ball, held it in his arms, turned around and ran towards the midfield.
Hao Qiang was the first to return to the midfield. Kadlec smiled at him when he passed by him: "I don't celebrate a draw. I learned this from you."
Hao Qiang smiled and passed by.
Then he looked full of confidence and determination.
When opponents think that blocking him will limit Leverkusen's goals, Leverkusen will only tell them with actions: Stop dreaming!
