Chapter 44 Leverkusen's Counterattack

On February 2, Bordeaux's away game against Leverkusen was underway. Now the time is 22:21 local time in Europe, and the first half of the game has ended.

Liu Jianhong from Pain Xun Live is summarizing the halftime: "The whole Bordeaux team was in poor form in the first half. It may be because they were too excited in the domestic league 4 days ago. They slaughtered Monaco 6-0 in the away game, and Bordeaux has played a double match for two consecutive weeks. More will be eliminated."

The number on the scoreboard of Leverkusen's home Bayer Arena is 2:0, with the home team behind the visiting team.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Blanco is making tactical arrangements for the whole team: "Leverkusen will definitely continue to attack in the second half, because they only lead by one goal. We only need one goal to draw and then kill the opponent with an away goal. They will not hope that we can't score in the second half, because we may kill them with a single dribble. So it is certain that they will continue to attack in the second half when they are in good condition. We only need to defend and counterattack.

The whole Bordeaux team was listening to the head coach's arrangement, and Liu Ting nodded in agreement, but the first half was a bit aggrieved, and the whole team was out of shape, especially the midfielder Micoud and Liu Ting's striker partner Kavinaji. The performance of the two was completely different from the previous game. Maybe it was really too tired.

"Liu, if you have a chance in the second half, try to break through yourself more." Blanco finally said to Liu Ting.

"Okay, coach." Liu Ting knew that he seemed to be in a good state now, and it might be related to being replaced early in the last game.

After 15 minutes of intermission, Liu Ting clenched his fists and followed the team out. I valued the European competition more and wanted to make a difference in the Europa League. How could it be possible to fall here.

The whole Bordeaux team played, and they were greeted by boos from the German fans. German fans have always been more passionate. Now the boos at the Bayer Arena are louder than Liu Ting has ever heard in Ligue [-]. Just last year, the Bundesliga team set a Guinness World Record, which is to create the highest decibel stadium noise.

Last year, the Bundesliga class bully Bayern Munich took a nap. The Bundesliga championship was contested by Schalke 04 and the youth army Stuttgart. In the key match between Schalke 04 and Stuttgart at home in the second half of the season, the fans of Schalke 04 made a noise as high as 129 decibels. How high is 129 decibels?The noise near the ignition point of the rocket launch is only 130 decibels.

Schalke 04 had such a good environment to help them successfully defeat Stuttgart and surpass their opponents to reach the top. In the end, they still failed to win the league championship, because in the penultimate round of the Ruhr Derby Schalke 04 was defeated by their arch-enemy Dortmund and handed over the championship to Stuttgart.

In the future, it would be nice to play in a team with fanatical fans, at least the cheers and cheers you get will be much more.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Leverkusen did not plan to shrink its defense. Although it was not as aggressive as the first half, Leverkusen was still actively seeking offensive opportunities.

Liu Ting wants to score goals, but his teammates are still not in good condition, especially Miku, who can be said to have made frequent mistakes in the midfield. Maybe it is because of his physical exhaustion after a week of double matches. However, a 35-year-old veteran is still starting frequently. No one can blame him.

"The state of Bordeaux has not improved much, but Leverkusen has begun to pay attention to its own defense. This is not good news for Bordeaux." Liu Jianhong is also worried about Bordeaux. He explained that although Bordeaux is out of the Europa League, he will continue to comment. He will not lose his money, but he still hopes that Bordeaux can advance. After Bordeaux is out, fans who care about this Europa League will definitely decrease a lot.

The team did not improve, and Liu Ting relied more on his personal ability to get the ball.

In the 49th minute, Leverkusen's attack was fruitless. Bordeaux goalkeeper Lame threw the ball and launched a counterattack. After receiving a pass from Giulieti from the wing, Liu Ting dribbled the ball quickly to the left.

In the next ten minutes or so, Liu Ting tried a few quick counterattacks with his personal ability, but his destructive power was always limited when he fought alone, and he needed a lot of luck to score goals.

"Liu Ting is trying to help the team more with his personal ability. It seems that now he is the one who has not been affected by the state of Bordeaux."

"Leverkusen's offense, Barbarez broke through Diawara, and the ball was passed to Kisling. In the first half, the cooperation of the two of them scored Bordeaux two goals, exactly one each. Kisling took a step forward in the penalty area, adjusted, and hit the goal!! Lame! He stood in the right position to block the shot.

"Charme passed to Berlion in front of him. Berlion accelerated with the ball. Leverkusen only had four players in the backcourt. Liu Ting's speed was also very fast. Liu Ting and Berlion were like two sharp arrows and directly killed Leverkusen in the half. This is a two-on-four situation. Liu Ting and Berlion have a great chance."

"Sarpe came to defend Berlion, Berlion sped off the opponent, Rolfes came to defend, Berlion passed the ball! Passed to Liu Ting who followed up in the middle, Liu Ting approached the penalty area with the ball, Haji came over, stepped on the bicycle!! Liu Ting stepped on the bicycle twice, and passed Haji. This is a move that is rarely seen on the court. It is very effective. Castro followed Liu Ting. Stroh, already facing the goalkeeper, Adler strikes, shot through the crotch!! The goal is scored!!! Beautiful shot through the crotch!! Bordeaux equalized the score and also scored an away goal. If this score is maintained until the end, Bordeaux will advance by relying on away goals." Liu Jianhong roared excitedly.

In the 62nd minute, Liu Ting and Bellion counterattacked and finally Liu Ting scored a goal, helping Bordeaux to tie the total score to 2:2 and Bordeaux had an away goal.

After Liu Ting scored a goal, he rushed to the sidelines to roar and celebrate, which led to the climax of the boos in the Bayer Arena. During these boos, he felt that his anger was vented out of his heart.

A lot of sundries were even thrown out of the stands, including mineral water bottles, lighters, cans, etc. Liu Ting returned to the field while being escorted by his teammates while celebrating.

Now the situation is favorable for Bordeaux. Bordeaux coach Blanco is thinking about how to keep the score to the end. There are still about 30 minutes to end the game. Pure defense will definitely be very passive, but he has to strengthen the defense.

In the 64th minute, taking advantage of a Leverkusen shot to get a corner kick, Blanco used two substitutions at a time. Cavinaghi and Micoud came off, and Alonso and substitute defender Tremolinas came on. It was obviously a signal to strengthen the defense. At the same time, he informed the Bordeaux team to focus on defensive counterattacks, mainly relying on the speed of Liu Ting and Berlion to counterattack.

Ten minutes after Liu Ting's goal, Leverkusen's offense was not so resolute, because they were afraid of the counterattack speed of Liu Ting and Berlion, but when the game time jumped to 10 minutes, it was like a flame ignited the blood of the entire Leverkusen team.

Of course, Leverkusen will fight back desperately. For this game, Leverkusen gave up the weekend league and only got a draw. You must know that Leverkusen is now ranked 4th in the Bundesliga. The top three teams can participate in the Champions League.

Liu Ting and Berlyon often needed to return to the front of their own penalty area to participate in the defense. Leverkusen's offensive wave after wave. In the 84th minute, Berlyon got a chance to counterattack single-handedly, but Adler, who was in good shape, blocked it with his thigh.

In the 87th minute, Liu Ting also received a yellow card while defending Vidal. At this time, Blanco began to delay the time with substitutions on the sidelines.

As long as Liu Ting gets the ball, he will use his foot skills to dribble the ball to the corner flag area, and delay the time there.

There was once a football player in China who dribbled the ball to the corner flag area with only 3 minutes left in a World Cup qualifier to delay the time, and finally helped the Chinese team maintain a 1:0 score until the end.When interviewed by reporters after the game, he said: Director Zhu didn’t have much time to teach us to dribble the ball to the corner flag area to delay the time. How is my ball protection not bad?
The player's name was Li Yi. The next day, the media said that Li Yi protected the ball like Henry, and then became Li Yi the Great.

Liu Ting didn't know if someone would say that his ball protection was like Henry the next day.
