Chapter 242 Mateus Treats Guests
"The goal was scored again! Oh, this mistake is really unexpected. Ilya was already in an offside position, but I didn't expect Nowotny to be a disservice. The ball was given to Ilya by Nowotny, so Ilya was not offside. 2:0, the score further expanded."

Huang Jian explained that the goal was indeed due to Nowotny's mistake. Ilye was originally in an offside position, but with the addition of Nowotny's side, Ilye was not offside. Instead, he formed a single-handed goal and easily broke the goal to rewrite the score to 2:0.
Nick also laughed and said: "Haha, this ball is really lucky, Lothar, it is already 2:0, you are ready to treat."

"Hehe, I didn't expect the game to be like this. Jens would make such a mistake. How could the ball go directly to Adrian? It's unbelievable." Mateus also couldn't figure it out. As an excellent central defender, he would make such a mistake. This shows that Nowotny has problems judging the situation on the field and the trajectory of the ball's flight.

At this point in the game, Leverkusen's momentum has obviously weakened. This kind of missed ball hurts morale, and they are two goals behind. If they want to get back, they can only bite the bullet.

So the direction of the next game is determined. In the first half, Leverkusen stepped up their offense, while Borussia Mönchengladbach stepped up their defense. With two goals in hand, Borussia Mönchengladbach's choice of defensive counterattack is the most appropriate.

The scene looks like Leverkusen's offensive is surging, but the real threat still comes from Borussia Mönchengladbach.

In the 38th minute, Fryer's through pass reached Kirsten's feet. Kirsten's turned volley was blocked by Metzelder with his feet and bounced directly to Li Yihuan's feet. Li Yihuan then passed the ball to Illie in the middle circle.

Nowotny's turn was half a beat slower than Ilya's, and he was thrown away by Ilya immediately. Fortunately, he immediately pulled his hand and directly pulled Ilya to the ground.

Although Nowotny destroyed the attack, he also paid the price of a yellow card. This is the result of the referee's mercy. Slow motion shows that Nowotny is already the last defensive player that Leverkusen expects except the goalkeeper.

Seeing Nowotny's poor state, Top Muller's frown became more and more tight off the court. There is no guarantee in the backcourt. How easy is it for Leverkusen to get back?This is a few counterattacks by others, and the score will have to be expanded, and the game will definitely not be played.

It seems that during the intermission, adjustments are imperative. Top Muller can only hope that his teammates will not make mistakes in the rest of the first half, otherwise he will not be able to play.

But Top Müller will come up with whatever worries him the most.

In the 43rd minute, Leverkusen failed to attack with a corner kick, and the ball was passed to Illie by a long pass from Li Yihuan. At this moment, Leverkusen's backcourt was empty.

"Oh, this action is too bad, a red card, it must be a red card!" Nick yelled as soon as he saw LaMelo's action.

"That's right, this is definitely a red card action. Adrian's injuries are serious. Let's see how the referee made the penalty." Mateus also affirmed Lamelo's red card action.

The fact is the same. The referee on duty ran over and took out a red card and showed it to LaMelo.

Iliyer went one step further and entered the penalty area. At that time, it would be a red card + penalty kick. Now the referee awarded a free kick on the line of the penalty area.

However, Illie lay on the ground for a long time and did not get up. Borussia Mönchengladbach's team doctor rushed into the field. After giving Illie emergency treatment, Illie stood up with the support of Trezeguet and Li Yihuan, stomped his feet, and immediately felt a heartache. Illie's Achilles tendon was kicked by Ramello.

Seeing this, Nick's heart is also tense. Illier's role in the front line is very obvious. The cooperation between him and Trezeguet is very tacit. He is injured and can only go to Larsson, but Larsson is about to transfer to Bayern during the winter break. Fans must be uncomfortable watching him play.

As expected, Illie was off the field, and Karl had to make substitutions. However, Karl did not replace Larsson, who had previously expressed his thoughts after the German Cup, but replaced the young player Nossa. Although Nossa's skills are a bit rough, but the impact is stronger. It seems that Borussia Mönchengladbach is a bit like playing a double center.

"Hey, I'm so unlucky. Adrian is injured. Let's see if this free kick can be scored." Nick is still very optimistic about this free kick. Miku is a master of free kicks, and Li Yihuan also has a free kick skill.

Huang Jian and Matthaus also said that this free kick opportunity is very good. If they can score another one, they will completely kill the game.

When the game resumed, Miku and Li Yihuan stood in front of the ball. They whispered for a while, and then stood on both sides of the ball.

Nick said with a smile: "I guess this ball must be taken by Xiao Lizi. The ball is too close, which is not conducive to the arc ball to attack the goal, but it is reasonable to volley vigorously."

Huang Jian guessed that Micoud took the penalty, and Matthaus said that the two might cooperate.

The Leverkusen players nervously shot the wall. The distance is too close. The ball has to be arced and it is difficult to get it. It is okay to hit a burst shot. Therefore, the Leverkusen players pay more attention to the tightness of the wall and leave no gaps for the opponent to penetrate the wall.

Of course, Borussia Mönchengladbach's players will not allow Leverkusen players to line up the wall so easily. Dex almost had sex with Berbatov during the harassment.

After finally waiting for the referee to settle them, the game time has passed 45 minutes, and the fourth official raised the sign for 4 minutes of stoppage time.

The referee blew his whistle to signal Borussia Mönchengladbach to take the free kick.

Micoud moved, and when the ball went out, everyone was stunned. The ball was passed directly to Trezeguet on the side of the wall. The Leverkusen players had no time to react, and Trezeguet turned around and immediately pushed the ball. The ball went into the far corner, 3:0!

"The goal went in, it went in, it went in! It's wonderful. This goal is similar to Zanetti's goal in the 98 World Cup between Argentina and England. When everyone thought it would be a direct free kick, Micoud showed his midfield master-level wisdom. Borussia Mönchengladbach's strength is respectable. It is worth looking forward to where they will go this season and win a few championships." Huang Jian took the lead this time and spit out his thoughts.

After he finished speaking, Nick smiled and said, "Wonderful, Lothar, what do you think is the difference between Joao and Qi Zu?"

"Hey, I don't think Joao's level is worse than Qi Zu's. The two live in the same era. He Shengliang is a bit of a feeling. His organizational level is very good. I think Borussia Mönchengladbach can play the tactics of Ariel and Joao's two core playmakers this season." Mateus also praised Micoud. Such an unexpected free-kick cooperation is indeed a master.

Immediately after Trezeguet scored the goal, he rushed towards Micoud. The two teammates of the French national team hugged each other tightly. At this time, perhaps Trezeguet was also comparing Zidane and Micoud in his heart.

This goal also made the Leverkusen players desperate. They were 3 goals behind and there was one less player on their side. It can be said that Ramello's foul was for nothing.

Leverkusen lost all confidence, Borussia Mönchengladbach also gave up as soon as it was good, and the score at the end of the half was 3:0.
After the start of the second half, Leverkusen still had no fighting spirit, and Borussia Mönchengladbach was happy to save their strength. The two sides played dull in the second half. Leverkusen finally scored with a barb from Berbatov in the penalty area in the 87th minute. The final score of the game was 3:1. Borussia Mönchengladbach took all 3 points at home and continued to lead the standings.

After the game, Nick was immediately praised by Huang Jian and Matthaus.

"Damn, Nick, did you agree with them, you said 3:1, it is 3:1, isn't this too coincidental?" Mateus said pretending to be unhappy.

"Hahaha, Lothar, you have to admire my foresight, how about it? It's time for a treat?" Nick immediately mentioned the matter of the treat.

Huang Jian was also amused: "That's right, I will testify on this matter, Lothar, you have to treat me, and I have the cheek to join in the fun."

"Okay, please."
