Leverkusen does not only play anti-counterattack tactics in an absolute sense.
On the basis of balance, I just tend to focus on defense.
But when Porto started to press the high position with the whole army, Leverkusen's formation was gradually pushed back.
Step by step, it turned into a defensive and counterattack posture.
Otherwise, their third line will be out of touch.
Hao Qiang adapts to circumstances and becomes the most significant threat to Leverkusen's offense during the counterattack.
Porto bombarded Leverkusen's defense indiscriminately.
Hao Qiang rushed forward alone and repeatedly rushed to the frontcourt.
Porto increased their aggressiveness when defending, and the open space made Hao Qiang very comfortable to play, but what was uncomfortable was that Porto's players pragmatically committed tactical fouls.
The referee repeatedly took out cards.
Hao Qiang was put to the ground repeatedly.
I can't help but feel a little restless.
But this is also a common scene in football matches.
Everything is allowed within the rules.
Those who are not allowed will be given a ticket.
In the 60th minute of the game, Leverkusen's defense barely restrained Porto's front three.
But what they didn't expect was that midfielder Freddy Guarin came in behind. After entering the penalty area, he received Rodriguez's cross from the wing and headed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal. horn!
Adler looked embarrassed.
Leverkusen's defense started to panic!
Guarin roared and rushed to celebrate.
The morale of the Porto generals is high and their confidence is further enhanced!
Boas raised his arms and roared!
Heynckes shook his head slightly and quickly made substitutions.
He replaced Reinerts with Lars Bender in an attempt to strengthen the defensive hardness and sweeping power in the midfield to withstand Porto's fierce offensive.
Losing a goal away from home is completely acceptable.
But now Leverkusen's passive situation must change.
Leverkusen probably didn't expect that the overall direction of the game was not under their control.
Whether the pressure on the defense will be reduced depends on whether Porto will maintain its offensive posture!
Porto was so powerful that they did not choose to retreat at this time.
Just accept it when it's good?
Better to fight!
Leverkusen's attack was brutally suppressed in the frontcourt.
The cooperation between Hao Qiang and Barnetta failed to work out.
The Leverkusen fans' faces were filled with tears.
In the second half, things changed suddenly and the situation took a turn for the worse!
Porto fans are full of optimism.
The score of 2:1 was not enough for them to completely relax and enjoy the game.
In the 66th minute, just 6 minutes after the last goal, Hulk rushed in from the right and used his body to block the position, making Kadlec passive.
When he forced his way to the baseline and passed the ball to the goal, Falcao suddenly rushed to meet the ball and volleyed the ball into the near corner of the goal!
Adler is crazy!
Roar at the defense line!
The pass was not damaged and no one was watching it!
Falcao, who scored twice, rushed to the sidelines and roared in celebration.
The momentum is unparalleled, like a tiger descending from the mountain!
The Leverkusen fans looked at each other.
Too bad!
The entire Dragon Stadium was plunged into a crazy atmosphere.
Porto fans looked up to the sky laughing, pumping their fists and roaring loudly!
"Hahaha, Leverkusen was beaten silly!"
"They thought we were the real Porto in the first half? How naive!"
"If we had played like this in the first half, we might have massacred Leverkusen by now!"
"In any case, Villas-Boas' midfield adjustment is still worthy of praise. Porto in the second half has looked like a champion!"
"Falcao tied with Hao Qiang in the Europa League scorer list! One more, and today he will surpass Hao Qiang and take the top spot in the scorer list!"
Villas-Boas changed his celebration again, kneeling down and raising his fists in the air, as if his team was creating greatness!
When he stood up, he subconsciously looked at Heynckes.
In front of Heynckes, Boas is undoubtedly just a primary school student.
Although Heynckes has not had any notable coaching achievements in the past ten years.
But he is also one of the Champions League winning coaches.
Villas-Boas looked back and thought for a moment, then signaled to the players on the field: Continue the attack!
One general's success will destroy ten thousand bones!
How can you become king without losing all your strength?
Since he was Mourinho's assistant in the past and also started his coaching career in Porto, Villas-Boas has never been able to escape Mourinho's shadow.
In the beginning, the title Mourinho II was a good name.
But now it is gradually becoming a burden.
No one wants to live like someone else.
Especially since the owner is still active on the top stage of European football.
Villas-Boas's style at the tactical level is still obviously different from Mourinho. The latter is conservative and is considered the benchmark for anti-counterattack tactics.
And Villas-Boas' team still has a passionate and unrestrained color.
The conservatism in the first half was due to too many concerns.
When the situation forced them to use all their offensive firepower, the game returned to their familiar track.
In fact, with Porto's strength, most games in the Portuguese Super League will definitely be tough battles.
Therefore, if Leverkusen did not set up a bus, it would not be able to absolutely restrict Porto by just focusing on defense.
Hao Qiang stood at the kick-off point in the center circle, looking at his teammates solemnly.
The 1:3 deficit has made Leverkusen's promotion situation very passive.
The most critical thing is that there are still 25 minutes left in the game, and can Leverkusen's defense withstand Porto's next offensive?
Very pessimistic!
Heynckes must be well aware that Leverkusen needs goals now!
It seems difficult to keep.
It would be more meaningful to score away goals.
There is another point that he must consider.
Because the attitude of some fans towards him has undergone an extreme change.
If the score is behind, he does not make active substitutions.
Then it will inevitably cause huge negative impacts externally.
Simply put, those fans who started to turn against him will think he has done nothing.
It's a mess!
As for whether there is such an idea inside the locker room?
Heynckes doesn't speculate on human nature.
It is human nature to shirk responsibility.
Never consider or test human nature!
So Heynckes must step up his attack.
There is no second way.
Kiessling came on directly to replace Rolfes.
Leverkusen changes 442.
Hao Qiang saw Kisling on the stage and made a decision in his mind.
The next second after kicking off, he closed his eyes and entered the system, opened the warehouse and decisively used Gold Carbon!
Exit the system and return to reality.
Hao Qiang is actively running, but Leverkusen has completely entered a defensive posture.
He has an element of gambling.
Once Porto starts to slow down and control the rhythm, it will be difficult for Leverkusen to create excellent offensive opportunities!
But Porto is still strengthening their offense. Their state has been improving since the second half of the game, and now it can be said that they have reached their best state on the offensive end!
When Rodriguez's long shot was saved by Adler, Villas-Boas held his head and sighed exaggeratedly, then clapped his hands, but there was still a faint smile on his face.
It seems that in his eyes Leverkusen can do whatever he wants.
In the 69th minute of the game, Leverkusen finally launched a fast break.
Augusto dribbles from the right to advance the attack.
Pereira and Guarin quickly stepped forward to engage in a flanking attack.
Augusto has already controlled the ball and slowed down, obviously preparing to pass the ball.
He saw Hao Qiang running to meet him, so he passed the ball diagonally to the open space behind Guarin.
Hao Qiang took the ball and turned around, and Otamendi immediately stepped forward to grab the ball.
The upper line is obviously blocked by the inside line.
Hao Qiang suddenly spiked the ball to the right and went outside.
The moment the two passed each other, Otamendi hesitated and did not dare to foul.
He already has a yellow card on him.
Hao Qiang crossed the ball into the penalty area.
Otamendi turned around and quickly chased back.
Seeing that he was only one step away from Hao Qiang, he just raised his leg to steal the ball.
However, Hao Qiang suddenly stopped and dialed the ball back and missed him again!
When Otamendi braked suddenly and turned around, Hao Qiang controlled the ball and crossed!
While Otamendi was spinning in a circle, Hao Qiang had already cut across the middle to complete the adjustment.
With Kiessling holding Rolando in check, Hao Qiang's room to play has obviously become better.
Swing your left leg, rub the ball with the inside of your left foot and shoot it out.
The football lifted off the ground, drew a pleasing internal arc in the air, and crashed into the upper left corner of the goal!
The frenetic and restless atmosphere of Dragon Stadium suddenly became deserted.
The home team fans suddenly woke up.
Too bad!
The score of 3:1 was rewritten to 3:2.
Leverkusen scored two away goals.
This score can be said to have come back to life for Leverkusen.
Back at home, it only takes 1:0 to advance to the Europa League final!
Leverkusen fans are excited!
"Thank God, Hao Qiang stood up!"
"It was almost gone. Fortunately, Hao Qiang ran away!"
"I have a question, did Hao Qiang pass Otamendi twice?"
"Haha, if there is no goal, Hao Qiang can make Otamendi live a life of doubt!"
Hao Qiang burst into roars after scoring a goal, venting some of his pent-up emotions.
Kiessling came over and gave him a high-five, and the Leverkusen generals calmed down a little.
Heynckes secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Boas's face was serious, as if he was suppressing anger.
A trace of regret flashed through my heart.
If Porto had given up on the good news, Leverkusen might not have had the chance to score this goal!
But now Porto cannot withdraw, because the score of 3:2 is not beneficial to them in a sense.
He constantly gestured to the team on the sidelines to strengthen the offense!
Attack wildly!
Porto also decisively launched a strong attack after the kick-off.
After Leverkusen made two consecutive clearances, Porto had problems controlling the ball in the midfield.
Moutinho was intercepted by Vidal during a ball-control confrontation, and then Vidal launched a fast break on the spot.
A direct pass sent the ball to the center of the frontcourt.
Keesling found that Hao Qiang was more active on the wing after his debut.
Although he didn't understand what Hao Qiang was thinking, he had been paying attention to Hao Qiang's location.
When he quickly dribbled towards the front area of the penalty area, Rolando and Otamendi quickly retreated to the penalty area line.
Fernando came to press, and Kiessling passed the ball diagonally back to the right.
Hao Qiang cut inside and immediately changed direction after receiving the ball to dodge the pursuit from Guarin.
When dribbling forward again, Fernando moved to defend him in front of him.
Hao Qiang made an emergency stop and changed the direction of the ball to complete the escape.
Otamendi rushed out to press, and Hao Qiang continued to dribble across.
When he reached the left side of the arc in the penalty area, Keesling made a diagonal move to contain Rolando.
When Rolando was sure that Keesling had fallen into the offside trap, he went to tackle Hao Qiang, but his expression suddenly changed.
The eyes are full of wonder!
This bastard actually wants to shoot again!
Hao Qiang shot furiously!
Hit the ball with your left foot again.
This time the football only drew a slight internal arc in its rapid rotation.
Bang!
Goalkeeper Elton was stunned.
The football hit the inside of the left goal post and bounced into the goal!
Leverkusen fans went crazy!
Two goals in 4 minutes!
Hao Qiang scored a hat trick!
Boas was stunned, his expression dull as if he had lost the ability to think!
Porto fans beat their chests.
"This is outrageous! Isn't he a right-footed player? How come he scored two consecutive shots with his left foot? And he shot so beautifully!"
"He always seems to be outrageous."
"Two years ago, he was a blockbuster in the Portuguese Super League. Last year, he was in Ligue 1. This year, he is competing for the title in the Bundesliga. He also locked in the league's top scorer list. Isn't it outrageous?"
"Why didn't Porto sign him back then? Can Lille snatch up players from the Portuguese Super League?"
"Don't ask, fans of Sporting Lisbon and Benfica are also upset."
3:3.
Hao Qiang was surrounded by his teammates.
Judging from the expressions of his teammates, they seemed to be scared too!
Heynckes raised his fists and jumped up.
He never expected this situation.
Hao Qiang was like a god descending to earth in an instant!
The optimism in the minds of the Porto generals completely disappeared.
At this point it became extremely heavy.
Porto made a substitution before kick-off.
James Rodriguez and Ronaldo came on the scene, replacing Hulk.
Ronaldo ran into the field and stood at the midline waiting for his teammates to kick off. He specifically glanced at Hao Qiang not far away, his face solemn.
Hao Qiang noticed the other person's gaze and didn't pay attention.
Compared with Hulk's power impact, Ronaldo can bring more organizational support creativity on the offensive end.
Hao Qiang is still waiting for the opportunity. He feels that his condition has not only improved to the best.
It can even be said that it has broken through the ceiling.
The feeling of controlling the ball is already somewhat arbitrary, and the key moments of sudden stops and sudden turns can break the opponent's rhythm.
Porto remains calm.
After 3:3, we played very patiently.
In the 77th minute of the game, James Rodriguez restrained the defense in the front area of the penalty area and then distributed the ball to find Guarin who came up with a quick assist. The latter took the initiative to pull aside and sent a 45-degree cross.
When the football was lobbed into the Leverkusen penalty area, Friedrich loved to header the ball to clear the ball!
Behind him, Falcao made a diagonal run and made a slight head shake as he dived towards the top. He pushed the football towards the lower right corner of the goal!
Adler made the ultimate save but was unable to save the situation!
4:3!
The Porto fans roared at the top of their lungs.
Lead again!
Porto has already scored four goals in the second half.
Falcao also scored a hat trick!
Leverkusen fans are almost crying.
The performance of this defense in the second half today was simply unbearable!
Falcao passed by Hao Qiang when he walked back to midfield after celebrating.
The two looked at each other subconsciously.
There are tigers in Porto.
Leverkusen has Warcraft!
No one expected that Tigers and World of Warcraft would stage a magical fight at the Dragon Stadium today!
A hat trick of both goals!
Boas did not show a smile, but clenched his fists and raised his arms fiercely.
He has a firm gaze and looks forward to the team winning another victory.
If the lead can be extended to two goals, then Porto will have laid the foundation for advancing to the finals.
