"Ah~ the goal actually went in!" He Wei explained in surprise.
"Actually, the quality of Yin Chengjie's kick is not that high, but after it got through the middle of the wall, it hit the person and was refracted."
"There is nothing a goalkeeper can do. The Hague scored the first goal to lead the game 1-0."
"Actually, Red Bull Leipzig played pretty well, but they just couldn't score." Xu Yang continued to explain.
"And what's even more terrible is that their main forward is injured."
"Indeed! At present, it seems that The Hague's hope of winning is quite high." He Wei explained in agreement.
Yin Chengjie was very happy after scoring the goal. He opened his arms towards the spectators on the sidelines.
Accepting the applause and cheers from all the fans, the fans at the scene were very excited.
You must know that Leipzig Red Bull is not a weak team. If it can beat Leipzig Red Bull, then The Hague has a greater chance of qualifying for the group.
The Hague won the first round before. If they win this game, it will be two consecutive victories in the group.
Moreover, Porto still won away from home, and they have great hope of winning the next match against The Hague.
In that case, The Hague will have three wins and will probably qualify for second place in the group.
The Champions League and the Europa League are different. Qualifying for the Champions League group stage and qualifying for the Europa League group stage are completely different.
You must know that the Champions League is full of strong teams, and the Champions League gives more money.
The fans in The Hague became even more excited at the thought that their team might have a chance to qualify.
Head coach Xue Yang saw Yin Chengjie scoring a goal and waved his fists excitedly to vent his inner emotions.
I have to say that he was under a lot of pressure before, after all, his opponent was Leipzig Red Bull.
RB Leipzig may have less experience in the Champions League, but Xue Yang has no experience at all.
None of The Hague's players have ever played in the Champions League, so in terms of experience, The Hague is even worse.
And this goal increased the team's confidence a lot, so it seems that Red Bull Leipzig has nothing to do with it.
In the minds of The Hague players, they always think that they are worse than the top teams in the five major leagues.
After all, they are a strong team that can reach the top spots in the Bundesliga, so before the game they thought they had little hope of winning.
But after this half of the game, it felt like Red Bull Leipzig was just like that.
They were a little passive at first, but they quickly recovered.
Even when Werner was not injured, they still felt this way.
They don't know their own strength, and they already have the ability to compete with the top teams in the five major leagues.
And Xue Yang knows better than them. The Hague's starting lineup can play no matter which team they encounter.
Unless it's the top European clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
The strength of The Hague is that it is very balanced, and no position is a loophole.
The first half of the game ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the locker room one after another.
The players in The Hague were talking and laughing, and the players were quite relaxed.
After returning to the locker room, Xue Yang praised the players' performance.
They played really well today, especially on the defensive end.
Although Red Bull Leipzig had several good chances, they failed to score in the end.
Among them, Ndidi performed extremely well and made several outstanding interceptions.
Compared with Milinkovic, Ndidi's offensive contribution is indeed not as great as Milinkovic.
Milinkovic has an excellent long-range shot, which Ndidi does not have.
But on the defensive end, Ndidi is even better. In fact, Milinkovic-Savic is also defensive.
After being trained by Xue Yang, Milinkovic has good defensive skills.
But compared to Endidi, it is somewhat inferior.
Next, Xue Yang began to arrange the tactics for the second half of the game. Since he was already ahead, he could stabilize it appropriately.
There is no need to attack too fiercely. Although Red Bull Leipzig is lagging behind, they are not a weak team.
If Red Bull Leipzig takes this opportunity to counterattack, the three points gained will be gone.
Even though Werner has retired, they still have many outstanding players.
The halftime break ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court one after another.
As the referee blew his whistle, the second half of the game officially began.
In the 50th minute, Leipzig Red Bull got a set-piece opportunity.
The position is around 45 degrees on the right side of the penalty area. This position definitely cannot be used to hit the goal directly.
The players in The Hague also know that this ball will most likely be passed.
So the players were very focused in their positions, and Forsberg took the set kick.
The football flew toward the penalty area, but Forsberg passed the ball a little too high.
The Hague goalkeeper De Boer slapped the football away with one palm. There were people around him and De Boer could not hold the football directly.
Of course, because of De Boer's lack of experience, his reaction was a bit slow as it came too suddenly.
He slapped the football to the left side of the penalty area and came to the feet of Bruma.
After Bruma stopped the ball, Ruben Dias quickly defended.
Ruben Dias did not dare to relax at all. Bruma pretended to cut inside and then suddenly changed direction toward the baseline.
Ruben Dias was knocked down by his first cut inside. Seeing Bruma turn towards Ruben Dias, he subconsciously stretched his legs, trying to poke the football out.
But this time Ruben Dias was wrong. He missed the ball and instead kicked Bruma in the calf.
Bruma was knocked down directly by him, and the foul was not mentioned.
The referee blew the whistle decisively and then pointed to twelve yards.
Ruben Dias was also shown a yellow card, which was a yellow point package.
"Hey! Ruben Diaz tripped up Bruma!" He Wei explained in surprise.
"There's nothing to say, this must be a penalty kick!" Xu Yang explained with certainty.
Indeed, judging from the picture, this is definitely a foul.
At this time, the previous slow motion started to play, and sure enough, Ruben Dias kicked Bruma in the calf.
"That's right! This is indeed a penalty kick, and the referee made the correct call." He Wei explained.
In fact, He Wei was somewhat regretful. In his heart, he hoped that The Hague would win.
The penalty kick was handed over to Forsberg, who placed the football on the penalty spot and began to retreat.
Forsberg looked at the young goalkeeper De Boer in front of him, confidently started to run and then kicked the football.
De Boer flew to save at the same time, and the penalty kick largely depends on luck.
However, DeBoer was very lucky today. Not only did he throw the ball in the right direction, but he actually saved the football.
But he failed to hold the football, and the football was thrown in front of him.
So De Boer quickly rushed towards the football to prevent Forsberg from grabbing the second point and hitting it again.
De Boer, who is young and not very strong, actually saved Forsberg's penalty kick!
Forsberg wasted a good chance to equalize the score!
