Frost Shooter of Greenery

Chapter 298 The only variable

The effect of the undefeated golden body in strengthening physical confrontation also strengthened Qi Ce's leg strength.

This time, like a tank, he forced a shot under the double-team defense of the two, which shocked the fans of the Bayer Arena!
They can't seem to find a way to limit Zize, obviously their defense is already so good!
Although trying to counterattack and lose the ball this time, Leverkusen's defense has done well enough.

The defense rate is very fast. Even if he can't catch up with Kuba and Zitzer, the left back Ziegler can at least interfere with Kuba's pass from behind and give the players in the center time to return to defense.

Then in the middle, Friedrich was a trailing central defender. He stepped forward to defend Qi Ce, and Schwab on the other side quickly returned to the middle to assist in the defense.

This is a textbook defense!

Facing the opponent's defensive counterattack, Leverkusen also has a lot of experience. It is to use the fastest speed to get back in place and destroy the ball at the opponent's feet. The counterattack is a competition of speed. In the telling action, it is actually difficult for the offensive side to control the ball , just the slightest touch of the ball to change course can disrupt a counterattack.

However, these Leverkusen failed to do so in this defense, because their overall speed could not beat the speed of one person, and what's more, their overall defense was forcibly squeezed away by one person.

Heynckes shook his head. Facing this kind of player, he seemed to have nothing to do.

The tactics are correct and effective. If the opponent's No. 23 is not on the field, the current result must be Leverkusen leading 1:0 at home.

He is sure to win the game, and he has not made any adjustments so far, because most of the game is going on according to his own ideas.

The only thing I didn't think of was the number 23.

It is not an exaggeration to describe him as the only variable on the field.

Zize.

They all called him Ice Cube Kid.

Well, call it whatever you want.

Heynckes looked at Zize, who was celebrating a goal, and suddenly realized that there seemed to be a reason for calling him Ice Cube Kid. He didn't do much to celebrate the goal, and he didn't fly to celebrate. He seemed very calm.

Shaking his head, Heynckes gave up these thoughts, he had to find a way to reverse the current situation.

Look at the bench, he called the Swiss attacker Barnetta, he wanted to add some technicality to the offense, now that Dortmund is leading, the defensive counterattack may not be so effective, at least not as many opportunities as before.

Helmos was replaced, and Kisling was pushed to the center position. This is a more common routine for Leverkusen this season when facing a backward situation.

But Dortmund doesn't care about the one-goal lead!

They are still continuing to attack. As soon as Leverkusen kicked off, Dortmund continued to counterattack and sprint!

This is the biggest difference between Dortmund and last season. Under the leadership of Chandler last season, Dortmund's style is not only fast, but also more traditional and conservative.

But this season's Dortmund has been completely different from before.

Leverkusen thought that Dortmund would take back a little, but they still rushed forward to fight unrelentingly!
Kuba is one of the first to charge.

Leverkusen kicked the ball out and just passed it to the side. Vidal handed the ball to Ziegler. The Swiss right back saw Kuba approaching quickly and made a gesture to pass back, but suddenly dunked.

He wants to get rid of Kuba!

But he obviously underestimated Kuba's determination, he turned around and grabbed Ziegler together, and Dortmund immediately supported Kuba.

Captain Kyle also sprinted all the way to the frontcourt, blocking Ziegler's passing route!
Ziegler instantly fell into a situation where he couldn't pass the ball and had to fight alone.

In desperation, he kicked Kuba, trying to take a sideline ball, but he didn't kick it well. Under Kuba's pressure, his movements were somewhat deformed, and the kicking position was wrong, so he directly kicked a low ball. Kuba Immediately raise your foot to firmly step on the ball, and then touch it with your heel.

In the back is Zidane, who ran up and passed directly to the penalty area. It was not long before the kick-off, but Dortmund had already penetrated into Leverkusen's half. Maruko passed the young central defender Wrights, and suddenly got a half-single knife.

But this time Qi Ce's shot was not of high quality and was saved by Adler on the ground, but at this moment Kuba suddenly shot out from the diagonal!
He hit the ball into the empty goal!
The Polish's perseverance finally paid off. With unremitting running and sprinting, no one could catch up with him. He scored the ball ahead of everyone and expanded the score to 3:1!

Bayer Arena, the fans know that this game, Leverkusen has gone.

The reason is very simple. Since the tactics are correct, the team's thinking has not gone wrong, and the performance is good in most cases. In other words, Leverkusen, which is in its heyday, is now two goals behind, so what's next?
What greets them is the fate of losing.

Finally, under the adjustment of Heynckes, Leverkusen launched a Jedi counterattack, and at this time Klopp finally remembered to defend.

This style of play consumes a lot, and Zize was replaced by Valdes in 74 minutes.

But there was no change in the score afterwards, and Dortmund beat Leverkusen 3:1 away.

This is Leverkusen's first defeat this season. In the first nine games, they had an unbeaten record of six wins and three draws. They were the only Bundesliga team to remain unbeaten in the first nine rounds.

But now they lost too.

If they can win this game, they are very likely to occupy the top of the list, with six wins and three draws and 21 points, while Dortmund is close behind, with six wins, two draws and one loss, ranking third with 20 points. The previous top of the list was Werder Bremen also scored 21 points, ranking first with a goal difference advantage.

After the tenth round, Dortmund scored 23 points, while Bremen was tied by this season's strong team killer Bochum, and ranked second with 22 points. Behind them, the Hamburg team also caught up.

Bayern Munich is currently in fifth place.

Bayern, where the new coach took office, is still in the running-in period, and Van Gaal's transformation of Bayern has not yet been fully formed, because what he has to do, like Klopp, is a drastic reform.

And Bayern Munich's reform does not seem to be as successful as Dortmund. This is also the adaptability of different tactics. Bayern is certainly very strong, but the possession and high pressure brought by Van Gaal are not a ball used to playing German defensive counterattacks. The team can adapt at once.

As for Dortmund, the most important thing is Zize.

In the process of tactical transformation, Van Gaal brought in a very important tactical piece Robben, which is a very good explosive point, but he is not a striker, but a wing assaulter, although he can also have a decisive impact on the game, But so far, it seems that the Dutchman has not done as much as Zitzer.

Of course, Robben is good enough, but in comparison, Peter Pan is also eclipsed in front of Qi Ce.

There is no greater joy than leaving the Bayer Arena with a victory, climbing to the top of the table. After a difficult top-flight match, fans lined the highway into Dortmund to welcome the team bus.

When Zize saw the fans, he was taken aback. There were fans holding slogans everywhere on both sides of the road, and most of them supported Zize, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Because in Mainz, Klopp is the superhero there. No matter how good Zitzer’s performance is, it is difficult to surpass Klopp’s status in Mainz. Slogans, Qi Ce also has, relatively much less.

It can be said that it is not only outstanding performance that can be surpassed, the kind of persistence of one person, one city, moves the fans more than the gorgeous fireworks on a certain night.

And now, in Dortmund, both Klopp and Zize have come to the new team, which is a new beginning.

The fans are more satisfied with Zitzer's performance than the head coach. The two goals in this game are the best proof.
