Chapter 170
After the opening kick-off, Bayer Leverkusen's foul on Real Madrid's ball-handler was ferocious. After Zidane was brought down by Schneider, Carlos and Salgado were also brought down one after another in the frontcourt. At this time, the opening time was only 4 minutes, and the game scene was already chaotic. Salgado was even tackled directly on the ankle, but fortunately he was not injured and could continue playing, otherwise Real Madrid would have had to make personnel adjustments in the opening four minutes. However, the referee, perhaps considering that the game had just begun, did not show a yellow card to the Bayer Leverkusen player, but only gave a stern verbal warning. This made Real Madrid coach Bosque, who has always been calm and quiet on the sidelines, unable to help it, and rushed to the side of the fourth official on the sidelines, shouting against and protesting. Topmuller, on the other hand, hurried to the sidelines and asked his players to control their movements and emotions and not let go too much.
In such a situation, although Leverkusen's actions gradually subsided, in the 7th minute of the first half, Zidane still broke through Guò alone, causing a foul on Basturk and winning a free kick in front. The free-kick was taken by Figo, who had intended to hand over the football to Zinedine Zidane, but the ball could not get past the head of the tall Brazilian centre-back Lucio and was pushed straight off the touchline. At this time, Real Madrid's line was still relatively high, and Carlos came to throw this sideline ball. The famous Brazilian left wing-back, with his strong arms, threw the ball directly into the penalty area. This time Bayer Leverkusen was caught off guard, but fortunately it was Morientes' header that went over the crossbar, otherwise this attack would have been really difficult to say.
In this period after the opening. Although Bayer Leverkusen's defense was fierce, Real Madrid's attack was very tough and fierce. In the 9th minute of the first half. Real Madrid were awarded another throw-in near the halfway line on the left wing. This time. Bayer Leverkusen was still unprepared for Carlos' throw, falling here for the second time. Even Lao Lei didn't expect that Carlos would throw such a powerful throw again, and the football was directly near the penalty area. At this time, Raul suddenly activated, Lucio couldn't react, and was thrown out of space by Raul at once. Raul came to the spot where the ball landed, and made a trip, directly into the left side of the penalty area. Before Bayer Leverkusen's central defender Zivkovic blocked it, he fired a shot with his left foot. The ball goes around Bout's hands with precision. Plugged into the back post and into the back of the net, Real Madrid scored less than ten minutes into the game.
It can be said that Real Madrid's tactical arrangement before the game was very successful, and Leverkusen did not come back to his senses at once. Who would have thought that Real Madrid, which has always played artistic football and offensive football, would suddenly play so rough after the opening. Zidane in the midfield, Figo and others have become a cover, and Real Madrid's successive attacks have directly hit Leverkusen's hinterland. There is no more astonishing advance in the past. Lao Lei himself didn't react at once, and his attention was too focused on Zidane and Figo, and he didn't notice this in time. Now Lao Lei wants to come to himself, in these 10 minutes. He seemed to have been fooled, he looked at Bosque who was calmly holding his hands on his chest on the sidelines, and said in his heart that it was not only the lineup. Even the head coach has made a big improvement.
If it were any other team, it would be such an important scene in the Champions League final. Conceding a goal so quickly is bound to have a period of panic. But Bayer Leverkusen is fine. Old Ray didn't feel anxious from these Bayer Leverkusen players. Every time he meets a German team, Lao Lei can't help but sigh at their iron nerves, the Germans really have their own unique advantages. However, the bad news is that the curse of the Sanya King is in effect, and at this time Leverkusen can only play 95% of their strength, and in such a situation, they can only pursue a quick equaliser, otherwise the longer the time drags on, the more detrimental it will be to Leverkusen.
After the restart of the game, Real Madrid, who had succeeded in the opening sneak attack, returned to their normal style of play, delicate and technical style of play. At this time, Lao Lei was not very comfortable with the rhythm of Leverkusen's game. At this time, Bayer Leverkusen is a typical German style of play, a steely torrent of play that takes into account both power and speed. That's too fast for Porto. Fortunately, at this time, Leverkusen's brain is the forward Barlack, not Lao Lei, otherwise there will definitely be problems. At this time, it is not a good thing to meddle in the team's organization, so Lao Lei reacted quickly and changed his style of play, regardless of the organization, in charge of defense, and followed the team's system in attack.
It has to be said that against La Liga teams, the German team has too much physical advantage. In the physical confrontation on the field at this time, Real Madrid's players are generally at a loss. Bayer Leverkusen played a bit roughly, beating Real Madrid a bit after the game restarted, and they simply couldn't control the time and space of football leisurely. It is estimated that the Real Madrid generals did not expect Leverkusen's counterattack to be so fierce, and Leverkusen's sandwich in the front court was very tough, and as long as the Real Madrid backfield players hesitated, they would immediately be entangled.
And Leverkusen's main attack point is concentrated on the right side of Real Madrid, Salgado's side, he was hit by Burdaric and others. This is Topmuller's order, if you want to compare Carlos, who is in his prime at this time, there is no doubt that Salgado's side is easier to be bullied.
In the 18th minute of the first half, Lao Lei and Schneider grabbed Figo's hand in the midfield, and the two had a clear division of labor, Schneider pestered Figo, and Lao Lei took the opportunity to break the ball on the side, and then Leverkusen immediately launched a counterattack. A distinctive feature of Leverkusen's counter-attack is that there are many layers, and its central defenders and midfielders will be engaged in counter-attacks, wave after wave, to give full play to their impact advantage.
That's the case at this time, Lao Lei broke the ball directly after a long pass reached behind Salgado, after Burdaric forcibly touched him with speed, he did not choose to go down, but suddenly pulled the ball back with his left foot, came to a sharp stop, and after getting rid of Salgado, he directly stepped forward. However, he didn't take a few steps before he was stabbed out by the approaching Makelele, the French defensive midfielder who did feel like a master of defending in terms of positioning, positioning and positioning. However, after he stabbed the football, he didn't control it, and Boldarich actively counter-robbed, stuck him firmly behind him, and the two of them pulled each other, and neither of them was able to get up.
And this gave Ballack the opportunity, and Ballack used his powerful body to squeeze through Real Madrid's other midfielder, Solari, and take the lead in getting the football. Just as he was about to rush forward, Makelele, who was entangled in Burdaric, had no choice but to pull him to the ground, and Bayer Leverkusen won a free-kick on the right side of the edge of the box.
If Lao Lei had taken this free kick in the past, it was within his range. However, because he was in Leverkusen at this time, Lao Lei had to obediently enter the penalty area and prepare to fight for the top. Look at the strong men of Leverkusen in the penalty area, Real Madrid did not dare to slack off and defended all the way. If nothing happens in this game, set-pieces will be Leverkusen's scoring weapon, and Real Madrid will have to defend against it. After all, compared to the German team, their ability to handle high-altitude balls is really not good.
With the referee's whistle, Ballack's free kick came to the penalty area. Lucio beat Real Madrid's captain Hierro for the first point, but his header was blocked by Elgra with his body, but the ball was still in the penalty area, not out of the danger zone. And it just so happened that the football fell to the feet of Lao Lei. If the genuine LaMelo is estimated to be directly slashing hard, expecting a miracle, even Real Madrid's Hierro and Elguera's central defender combination also thinks so, and does not think that the defensive midfielder can do anything in the small Real Madrid penalty area at this time.
However, it was not the genuine LaMelo at this time, and Lao Lei made a feint of a powerful volley, which attracted Hierro and Elgra to make a blocking gesture. With a limp of his right ankle, he shook the two of them directly and came to the edge of the small penalty area. This time, the panicked person turned into Real Madrid, and Hierro, who came to his senses, hurried over to block it. After Lao Lei controlled the football in front of the penalty area, he pushed the football forward, and then forcibly wiped Hierro from the inner road, and entered the penalty area with a big stride. In the narrow penalty area, facing the iron-blooded captain of Real Madrid, the fans of Leverkusen exclaimed more than the voices of Real Madrid fans, and said that this is still our LaMelo?
But no matter what, Real Madrid's goal has already sounded the red alert when Lao Lei squeezed through. Hierro is behind Lao Lei, and he doesn't dare to act rashly, in such a place, once Lao Lei falls to the ground, it is likely to be a penalty. At this time, the defense line in front of the Real Madrid goal was also disrupted by Lao Lei's successive plays, and the strong men of Leverkusen were all in front of the goal, ready to respond with a header at any time. Real Madrid's backline was suddenly feeling a lot of pressure, and their defenders were completely underwhelmed by the scramble for positions in the box.
Lao Lei rubbed the outside instep of his right foot, and the football drew an outer arc and flew to the goal. Due to the forward pressure of Ballack and others, Real Madrid's defenders completely ignored Lucio in the back. The 188-centimeter-tall Brazilian central defender, unmarked, jumped directly into the air, threw a fierce header at the football sent to his head, and completely exerted his strength. Six meters from the goal, the ball struck Lucio's head and sped towards the bottom right corner of the goal.
This time, Real Madrid's goalkeeper Cesar had no choice, Lucio's header hit the ball in front of the goal, and Cesar's save could not stop the ball in the goal. After scoring the goal, Lucio rushed towards Lao Lei like crazy. The feeling of being thrown into the arms of a strong man of nearly 190 centimeters, Lao Lei also felt it for the first time. Lucio completely jumped on Lao Lei's body, choking Lao Lei at once.
Then, after letting go of Old Ray, Lucio's celebration did not end. He took off his jersey, revealing the T-shirt he was wearing underneath, revealing the large letters on the T-shirt.
"Jesus, I love you!"
At the same time, he picked up the old thunder that had not eased up.
Let the old ray sit on top of "Jesus". (To be continued......)
