Chapter 379: The Battle of the First Three

On the afternoon of November 20, Bayer Leverkusen's match against Bayern Munich was definitely the most eye-catching game of the league, and Bayer Athletic Arena, the home stadium of Bayer Leverkusen, was already full.

There are only a few thousand Munich fans, even against more than 20,000 Bayer Leverkusen fans, after all, Bayern Munich is used to domineering in the Bundesliga.

On the Leverkusen side, Ballack, who has returned this season, is currently recovering from injury, and I have to say that the lack of Ballack in this game is definitely a pity, after all, the German superstar has played in both teams, and both are as the core of the midfield, plus Schweinsteiger and Ballack's two generations of German midfield core disputes, but unfortunately all this cannot be played because of Ballack's injury.

This season, another surprise for Leverkusen is Vidal's progress, the ability to organize the attack, and the retreat to become a barrier on the backline, Vidal used his versatility to tell Heynckes that even if he loses Kroos, even if Ballack is injured, Leverkusen still has him Vidal.

Bayer Leverkusen's lineup: 451

Goalkeeper: Adler

Defenders: Kadletz, Hyypia, Friedrich, Schwab

Midfielders: Barnetta, Rolfes, Vidal, Sam, Augusto

Forward: Derdy York

In addition to Ballack's injury, Kiessling was also away from the field due to injury, and even Helmers also missed the game due to injury, and on the back line, Reinerts was suspended with a red card, and the veteran Hyypia did not come to the rescue.

The goalkeeper is Adler, who is well known, and just a few months ago, God played a malicious joke on Adler. Towards the end of the season. Competing with Manuel Neuer has been ahead of the curve, with Germany's new goalkeeper having to stay away from the player after a serious injury. Away from the World Cup in South Africa, it was this injury that made the fortunes of the two begin to develop on different trajectories.

Bayern Munich lineup: 442

Goalkeeper: Bout

Defenders: Pranzic, Breno, Van Bitten, Lahm

Midfielders: Kroos, Li Feng, Schweinsteiger. Grandis Altentop,

Forwards: Muller, Gomez

With the return of the injured players, Van Gaal returned to the regular lineup of 442, and Muller returned to the main lineup, but before the game, unfortunate things befell Bayern Munich again, warm-up before the game, Demichelis was injured, which is the third time that Bayern Munich has a player injured in the pre-game warm-up. It can be seen how sad Bayern Munich is.

So in this game, Brenaud got a chance. This is also an opportunity for the Brazilian centre-back, and if he can take it, perhaps what awaits him is a skyrocket, while Franck Ribery continues to sit on the bench, and Van Gaal will naturally have to be careful with the use of the Frenchman.

The players from both sides came on the field, and the two coaches also shook hands routinely on the sidelines, no one equal, this was the last handshake between the two in the Bundesliga, and even the right to shake hands alternately, because next season, to take over from Van Gaal's manager until the official Heynckes.

At the beginning of the game, Bayern Munich showed their determination to win the game, and after a few passes, the ball came to the feet of Li Feng, and with the cooperation of Schweinsteiger, Li Feng crossed the half court and rushed to the heart of Bayer Leverkusen.

At this time, Vidal and Rolfes came in the sandwich, and in the face of this situation, Li Feng naturally did not carelessly, held the ball, turned around, and then pushed to the side, and Pranjic quickly inserted.

Kroos understood and moved to the middle to open up the gap for the Pullan Miracle sprint, before Pranzic got past Schwab and crossed the ball into the box, where Gomez leaped high but Adler moved faster and punched Gomez before he could strike.

But the ball that fell outside the penalty area was still at the feet of Bayern Munich, Li Feng stopped his chest and unloaded the flying ball, but Li Feng did not have a chance to shoot, Vidal entangled him to death, and Rolfes blocked his shot angle.

In this regard, Li Feng's heel knocked slightly, the ball rolled back, and a red appeared in front of the ball, No. 31, the pig Schweinsteiger did not know when he had come behind Li Feng, in the face of this pass, Schweinsteiger directly kicked and shot from a distance, but unfortunately the ball was slightly higher in the end.

Faced with this situation, Leverkusen was naturally not to be outdone, and then Leverkusen counterattacked, Vidal passed straight to the forward midfielder Augusto, who could not break through under Li Feng's defense, and could only divide the ball on the side, Barnetta received the ball and made a collision with Kadlec to cross Lahm.

Bannetta's cross from the bottom line was met by Deljovic's high leap into the box, but in front of Van Bitten, Deldieuk did not take advantage of it, and finally his header flew off the line.

After that, the two teams launched an evenly matched offensive and defensive battle, Bayern Munich completed a wave of goals, Leverkusen immediately returned a shot, although there was no attack, but such a fast-paced offensive and defensive battle still made the fans excited.

In the twelfth minute, Bayer Leverkusen broke through the wing, Sam returned to the middle, Augusto picked up the pass, and Derdyyok headed high again.

A minute later, Bayern Munich counter-attacked, Li Feng was brought down by Vidal, Bayern Munich won a free kick, and then Li Feng sent the ball into the box, Muller headed the ball, but unfortunately Gomez could not complete the attack, Friedrich stopped in front of him to complete the clearance.

In the eighteenth minute, Li Feng completed the first shot, Bayern Munich counterattacked quickly, Li Feng shook off the dogskin plaster Vidal, and hit a long shot outside the penalty area, and the ball finally grazed the post and flew out of the bottom line.

Three minutes later, Bayer Leverkusen returned Bayern Munich's long-range shot, Derdiyok could do it, Augusto was clever and Vidal cut in from behind to complete a powerful long-range shot, which was saved sideways by Bute.

Then Bayer Leverkusen created the best chance of the first half, in the 23rd minute, Sam shook off Lahm and burst into the Bayern Munich penalty area, Breno rushed up, at this time, Sam hit a strange ball path that seemed to pass but not pass, like a shot but not a shot, Bout watched the ball fly to the gate he guarded, just when Leverkusen was about to cheer, the crossbar of the Bayern goal stood up and blocked Sam's weird door.

In the 28th minute, Vidal saw that Bout was too far forward, and the Chilean midfielder made a quick decision and hit the goal directly, and the ball flew nearly 60 meters away, but unfortunately Vidal's shot was a little worse, and the ball finally flew into Bout's arms. (To be continued.) )
