Chapter 623 An Unexpected and Unexpected Goal

Bayer Arena, red and black flags covered most of the stands, leaving only a small piece for away fans.

In this small area, the shouting has not stopped since the opening. Before the game, Manchester United's official website announced that according to the survey, the number of fans who accompanied the team to away games this season has increased significantly and returned to the level of 2009.

After Ferguson retired, Moyes led the team to play in the Champions League and failed to qualify for the group stage, and Van Gaal simply did not play in the Champions League that season. This caused Manchester United fans to lose confidence in the team's record, and fewer and fewer fans went with the team.

But this situation has changed rapidly, especially after the double red meeting ended, a large number of Manchester United fans flooded into the official website to order away tickets.

"It's already the 60th minute of the second half, and it's still 0-0. The pharmaceutical company fought very hard in this game." Zhan Jun said with emotion: "In recent years, Leverkusen has always been a very combative team in the Bundesliga. , although he has never won a championship, his tenacious fighting spirit has caused Dortmund and Bayern Munich to suffer a lot."

"And this Leverkusen team has lost many main players in the past two years. Vidal and Barnetta have left, and Schurrle, who came from the youth academy, also moved to Chelsea." Zhang Lu added: "For For Sun Wu, this Leverkusen team is very strange."

"But this team of Leverkusen is definitely no stranger to Sun Wu, especially their coach Hypia." Zhan Jun said with a smile: "In the first 60 minutes, Sun Wu was violated a total of 9 times... oh, yes 10 times!"

Sun Wu, who was brought down abruptly by Rolfers, sat on the lawn and complained to the referee, "It's the third time! Sir, is this still a football game?"

The referee finally showed Leverkusen captain Rolfes a yellow card. This is the sixth yellow card for Leverkusen team, three of which were on Sun Wu.

After winning two tough games in a row, Manchester United was stubbornly blocked by Leverkusen here.

The pharmaceutical factory was very well prepared for this game. With the tough defense in the midfield, Emre Can and Rolfers hardly gave Sun Wu any room to play, and they started at every turn. This directly led to Manchester United's organization in the midfield. .

Leverkusen head coach Hyypia only left Sun Xingmin and Kisling in the frontcourt for a sneak attack. Although the number is a bit small, the offensive effect is very good. Kisling has an excellent ability to grab points. The cooperation between the two on the field once posed a big threat to De Gea.

In this game, Pochettino let Klose sit on the bench, Griezmann was the center forward, and Giggs was the left winger. Originally, Sun Wu and Wang Laoji had a good understanding, but Leverkusen's The defense is too tough, it is very difficult for Giggs to get the ball out, and his running ability has been greatly reduced at the age of 38, making it difficult to connect with Sun Wu.

However, Sun Wu is very confident in winning this game. Leverkusen's defense method is very exhausting. In about 10 minutes, it will be the time for their physical exhaustion, but... Sun Wu looked to the sidelines.

In the 64th minute, Pochettino made an adjustment and replaced Giggs with Hernandez. Griezmann retreated slightly to help Sun Wu. The Frenchman looked thin, but in fact he was not weak in confrontation. He can hold the ball.

"Griezmann's type of center forward is very weird. Although he can rush into the penalty area to grab points like other center forwards, he can also play the ball and head the ball, but his own technical characteristics allow him to run a wide range. Sexually pulling to the side, retreating and then going back into the penalty area." Zhan Jun is very optimistic about Griezmann, "It's a bit like Messi, of course there are differences."

"It's a bit similar." Zhang Lu agreed, "But Griezmann is more suitable as a shadow forward or No. 9 and a half, and can form more cooperation with Sun Wu. If he plays a center forward, he is more suitable for virtual center tactics.

Griezmann's change of position caused Leverkusen's defense to fall into a brief chaos, and Sun Wu seized the opportunity in time.

In the 71st minute, Hernandez's long-range shot from outside the penalty area was confiscated by goalkeeper Leno. The latter immediately counterattacked with a big foot, but Smalling beat Kisling to intercept in the air. Cleverly took the ball and gave it to the retreating Sun Wu.

Emre Can posted it up immediately, but this time he didn't dare to make any more moves in his hand, he had already received a yellow card.

Faced with this pass, Sun Wu leaned back, leaned on Emre Can, turned sideways as if to pass the ball, but raised his toes slightly.

The ball just came up from the preparation to prevent Rolfes from flying over his head, but the latter's conditioned reflex failed to reach...

"A beautiful pass...Griezmann...OK!" Zhan Jun sped up his speech, "Sun Wu took the ball again... Valencia from the right came up!"

At this moment, in the usual training, the effectiveness of Pochettino's uninterrupted tactical training is perfectly displayed!

Thomas Müller cut inside from the right flank to take away the full-back, with Valencia sprinting behind him at high speed...

Hernandez ran from the center to the right to take a centre-back away, and his and Thomas Müller's runs seemed to overlap, but they left a hole in Leverkusen's defense.

When everyone thought that Sun Wu would pass the ball to Valencia, he swung his right foot and sent a 30-meter long pass!
"Long pass... Evra!"

Short body passed Leverkusen's right defender Hilbert, Evra made a slight adjustment after stopping the ball with his chest, and swept the ball into the small penalty area!

At the moment when Sun Wu sent a long pass, the Manchester United fans in the stands began to brew...

Thomas Muller accelerated and ran towards the front point, while Hernandez turned around and ambushed at the back point. Although there were only two people, the crossover made Leverkusen's penalty area chaotic.

"Evra's cross... Müller... leaked the ball!"

"There is a chance... to shoot!"

"The goal was scored, Manchester United finally broke the deadlock!"

"It's Griezmann again, it's Griezmann again, crazy scoring rate, this is his second goal in the Champions League this season, and it's also his 2th goal in all competitions this season, you know Griezmann only played 10 games in total!"

The excited Griezmann put on a celebration pose of calling again, but Sun Wu pushed him down, and Thomas Muller was the first to jump up.

Thomas Muller, who grabbed the front point, was knocked down by Toprah behind him, and simply missed the ball. The midfielder Rolfes rushed to clear the siege before Hernandez, but the ball hit the ball impartially. Bounced back on the back of another centre-back.

Griezmann, who had been expecting Evra to pass back from the penalty spot, accepted the gift bluntly, and volleyed vigorously to send the ball into the goal.

Hyypia sighed in disappointment on the sidelines. Although Manchester United's goal was accidental, Sun Wu's long pass had disintegrated Leverkusen's defense, and it was not surprising to lose the goal.

But despite being disappointed, Hypia made an immediate adjustment.

"Leverkusen made a substitution and replaced Rolfers with No. 27 Australian attacker Cruise." Zhan Jun was a little surprised, "Cruise is a versatile player who can play both forward and midfield. Pia is going to give it a go!"

"It's a risky substitution." Zhang Lu commented: "Either Leverkusen equalizes or even reverses the score, or is completely defeated by Manchester United."
