Chapter 241 Unlucky Nowotny

Under the siege of Borussia Mönchengladbach, it was not until the 11th minute that Leverkusen finally received a long pass from the backcourt and Berbatov took a long shot. The ball deviated from the goal and flew out of the field.

Leverkusen had never encountered such a completely passive situation in the previous two seasons, and the players began to feel a little nervous.

This kind of tension directly caused the deformation of the player's technical movements. In the 14th minute, Micoud made a straight pass, and Novotny had already occupied a favorable position, but when he fell to the ground for the ball, the ball touched his calf and suddenly jumped over. It just landed at Trezeguet's feet.

Faced with such a great gift, Trezeguet naturally would not miss it. With a light push, the ball rolled into the goal and Borussia Mönchengladbach led 1:0.

"GOOOOOAL! The goal has been scored! David Trezeguet, his goal is really great, he is a killer, a real killer!" Nick shouted loudly, seeing his teammates scoring goals to help the team take the lead, Nick's mood will definitely be excited.

Huang Jian also explained: "That's right, it was a goal. Borussia Mönchengladbach relied on Trezeguet's goal to help the team take the lead, and the reason for Leverkusen's conceded goal was largely due to their captain Nowotny's mistake.

Matthaus also recognized the views of the two. It is really rare for Nowotny to make such a mistake. As a representative of Germany's traditional central defender, Nowotny is known for his stability, but today's mistake is a bit unreliable.

Nowotny was not in a good mood at the moment. He had some problems in judging the timing of Micoud's pass.

Trezeguet on Borussia Mönchengladbach was very excited after scoring a goal, and at the same time, he felt even more reluctant to leave Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The coaches of the two teams on the sidelines all stood up. Carl saw the problem of Leverkusen. He called Li Yihuan and Micoud while the players were celebrating, and told them to continue to attack Leverkusen's center. At the same time, they increased the speed and strength of passing the ball to increase the threat to the opponent's defense.

Top Müller also walked to the sidelines and signaled the players to be steady and not to be nervous. The game is still early and there is still enough time to get back. At the same time, he told LaMelo and Novotny to pay attention to filling the other side.

Top Müller didn't deliberately say anything to Nowotny, he knew Nowotny's strength, and as the captain of Leverkusen, Nowotny has a strong self-esteem, Top Müller didn't want Nowotny to have ideas.

Seeing such a scene, Nick couldn't help explaining: "The coaches of both teams are explaining to the players. The game will definitely be interesting. Borussia Mönchengladbach's offense is very sharp, and Leverkusen's defense is very strong, but I am still optimistic that Borussia Mönchengladbach can continue to score goals."

"Nick's point of view continues to be optimistic about Borussia Mönchengladbach, Lothar, what about you?" Huang Jian couldn't help stirring up the topic and asked Matthaus to talk about his views.

"The game scored so early, it's really hard to predict now, but if Leverkusen presses out to play, it will definitely lose even worse. I played in Borussia Mönchengladbach and I know how fast their counterattack is, and there are two strikers Adrian and David, it is easy to cause a big score. Leverkusen should rely more on Paul Fryer's organizational ability to counterattack. I hope he can cause some trouble for Borussia Mönchengladbach." There is nothing to watch.

"Haha, Lothar, you've decided on your treat. Leverkusen will definitely not be able to score goals relying on Paul alone. Little Li's marking on him is simply too good. You see, Little Li steals the ball again." While Nick was speaking, the situation on the field has changed again. Fryer tried to break through Li Yihuan forcefully, but Li Yihuan's judgment was very accurate, and a side tackle broke the ball.

Li Yihuan got up quickly, and immediately launched an attack with a long pass. This sudden long pass attack is one of Borussia Mönchengladbach's seven weapons, which can increase suddenness, and Trezeguet in the frontcourt can hold the ball, which is an advantage.

What worried Leverkusen fans was that their captain Nowotny made another mistake. When he was about to take off and compete for the top, Nowotny slipped and fell down.

"Oh, no, Novotny fell down, the ball is dangerous!" Huang Jian shouted hurriedly, this kind of mistake is simply too stupid, maybe Trezeguet will shoot after taking the ball.

Neither Nick nor Mateus spoke, but stared at the changes on the field without blinking. Nowotny fell, and Trezeguet would easily get the ball. The next thing is to look at his shooting skills.

Trezeguet on the court was also elated at the moment, wondering what the other captain was doing?It didn't rain this day, and the ground isn't very slippery, right?
But there is no chance to miss, Trezeguet stopped the ball with his chest, then decisively moved the ball to the side, bypassed Nowotny's body and rushed into the penalty area. Just about to shoot, Ramello rushed up and kicked over.

It seems that Top Muller's deployment worked. Ramello actually didn't expect Nowotny's feet to suddenly become weak. Fortunately, he was not far away, and he finally caught up with the replacement and kicked the ball out of the baseline.

"It's a pity that the ball was destroyed by Lamelo who replaced him. The work under Trezeguet's feet is still not fine enough, and the ball is a bit too big." Huang Jianxie said.

"That's right, David's skills are still a bit rough, but it doesn't matter. There are still opportunities. There is something wrong with Leverkusen's defense line, and maybe there will be opportunities." Although Nick also felt that it was a pity, he still wanted to complain about Nowotny's performance.

The progress of the game made Top Müller frown. Seeing Nowotny making continuous mistakes, Top Müller had no choice but to replace the captain like this. Nowotny can only adjust himself, and no one can help him.

The next corner kick was snatched by Nowotny, who pushed the ball out of the penalty area and landed at Berbatov's feet.

The Bulgarian striker took advantage of the situation, opened the distance with Dex a little, and then handed the ball to Fryer, who was rushing forward, and rushed to the frontcourt himself.

Players from both sides were rushing towards Borussia Mönchengladbach. Fryer saw Li Yihuan rushing towards him and knew that Li Yihuan would catch up sooner or later. Looking at Berbatov's position, Fryer decisively chose a through pass.

Hausweiler still made a mistake in his judgment. According to Berbatov's running position, he thought that Fryer's pass would definitely pass through the middle, but he didn't expect that Fryer's pass was an outside line.

"Hurry up, Bodo, hurry up, this ball can't be brought up by Beba!" Nick couldn't help shouting worriedly.

Sure enough, before Berbatov could recover, Irgner rushed over and kicked the ball. Although Berbatov fell to the ground, the referee didn't say anything. Irgner's attack was a good one.

"Beautiful! Bodo's skill is still so vigorous, just like back then." Matthaus couldn't help but cheer up. Ilgner was a member of the German team that won the 1990 World Cup. Ten years later, this skill is still so good. Mateus couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Borussia Mönchengladbach originally expected Irgner to be Butters' substitute, but he didn't expect Butters' mistake to lead to Irgner's success. Now Butters sits instead on the bench.

This counterattack also sounded the alarm for Monchengladbach, and Leverkusen's counterattack was also very sharp.

Li Yihuan immediately found Metzelder and Friedrich, telling them not to press so high on every set ball, and to keep enough people in the defense line.

After each side had a chance, they began to become cautious, and the fighting on the field became fierce, especially in the midfield.

The game soon came to the 30th minute. Except for the first 10 minutes of Borussia Mönchengladbach's advantage in this half hour, the middle 20 minutes were still evenly matched.

But at this moment, Nowotny made another mistake. Faced with Dex’s unthreatening long pass, Nowotny turned his head, and the ball fell to the feet of Iliyeh, who was already running offside.

The line referee hesitated for a moment, and did not raise the flag to indicate offside. The referee did not indicate after seeing it, and ran over.

Ilye was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that there was such a good thing, Ilye stabbed decisively, quickly rushed into the penalty area, and shot low!
