At this time, the game has been going on for nearly 20 minutes, and the score is still 1-0.
In these 20 minutes, Cottbus was beaten a little breathlessly by Leverkusen.
If it weren't for Hildebrand's wonderful performance, Cottbus might have been overtaken by the score.
Players in all positions on the field, if the goalkeeper has been playing particularly well, it proves that the situation on the field may not be good.
Yun Sheng on the sidelines was a little anxious. He thought Adriano and Cassano would get more opportunities, but the current situation is that Cottbus's offensive opportunities cannot pass through the midfield, and his forwards have no good opportunities at all. .
Even in the midfield defense, apart from Adriano at the front, even Cassano frequently returned to defend.
Yun Sheng shouted at Cassano from the sidelines: "Antonio! Press on! Use your personal skills to put pressure on the opponent's defense!"
Cassano was not far from Yunsheng at this time, and he heard clearly.
Three minutes later, Sauer made a very accurate long pass in the midfield, passing through the gap between the three Leverkusen midfielders and heading straight into the penalty area!
"Sauer's pass was so exquisite! He found the only channel between the three defensive players!"
"The ball passed to the feet of Cassano on the right! Cassano gently rubbed the ball and passed another defensive player!"
"2 on 2! Adriano is also running! This is a great opportunity!"
"Cassano passed the ball to the back post!"
"Adriano pressed Hagui and headed the goal! Adler was flying, but there was nothing he could do!"
"The ball hit the crossbar! What a pity!"
"Cottbus missed a great opportunity to extend the lead!"
When Cassano suddenly passed the ball, Yun Sheng on the sidelines was already ready to celebrate, but unexpectedly Adriano's header hit the crossbar, and the whole audience burst into exclamation.
"What a pity!" Schroeder shook his head repeatedly. "The game has already passed half an hour. If Cottbus expands its lead now, then this game will become more and more interesting."
Haesl snorted: "Cottbus' goal just now was just a piece of bad luck. When Leverkusen recovers, they will suffer."
Just now, Adriano's header hit the crossbar, just like hitting Leverkusen coach Skibe's head.
Skippy felt a little confused.
What is the situation in Cottbus today? We agreed to be a relegation team, what are you going to do?
Adriano, Cassano, aren't you unable to survive in your respective teams and are in extremely poor form?
What the hell is this level of offense?
To be fair, Leverkusen's overall level was good today, but they just couldn't break Cottbus' goal.
Especially Cottbus' new goalkeeper Hildebrand, the goal he guarded was like an iron wall. No matter what methods Cottbus' three forwards used, they could not open the goal. Hildebrand relied on his high catch and low block to block all offensive shots.
As for the midfield, Cottbus' midfield organization also took on a completely new look today!
Last season's Cottbus midfield was very monotonous, relying on the central axis of Radu and Monteanu to create opportunities with personal skills as the fulcrum. Almost half of the goals were scored with the cooperation of the two. Although this is good, Cottbus has lost his midfield creativity, especially the two wings, which do not do much, just playing ball for the central axis.
In pre-season training, Yun Sheng emphasized the team's side counterattack.
Because of Adriano as the center fulcrum, the team can make more fuss on the wing.
Shao Jiayi and Rost performed well in this game. Both made a lot of contributions in offense and defense.
The player who really brings life to the midfield is veteran Sauer.
Although Sauer has been reduced to Bayern's substitute last season, his experience is still something that Cottbus is very lacking. In particular, his smart skills and exquisite passing have raised Cottbus' midfield to a higher level.
Bandrovski's defensive protection around Sauer also allows Sauer to play the ball more freely.
For modern football, only by controlling the midfield can we control the game.
At this time, the game has entered 44 minutes. The first half went very smoothly, and the injury time was only one minute.
In the last minute, Adriano got another good opportunity. He received a through ball from Sauer, moved forward, and immediately wiped out the defender, about 35 meters away from the goal. A heavy kick to the door!
"It's Adriano's shot again! The ball slipped past the goal, only missing it by a little!"
"Adler also had no reaction. The shooting power of the Brazilian genius is simply unparalleled!"
"The referee blew the whistle to end the first half! Cottbus returned to the locker room happily with a one-goal lead. They have done their best."
Yunsheng high-fived every player on the sidelines and was the last one to return to the locker room.
At the door of the locker room, Yun Sheng heard the players chatting excitedly about the goal they just scored.
"The opening goal was so cool! Wright is simply a god!"
"I looked at Adler's expression and he looked like a fool, hahahaha!"
"Schauer's pass was just right too!"
"Shao, your tackle is also great!"
Yun Sheng slowly walked into the locker room, Sumad closed the door, and the players stopped talking and all looked at Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng looked around at each player, smiled and spoke.
"Guys, do you remember what I said to you 45 minutes ago? I said I have full confidence in you. You have the strength to win the game and get a more respectable Bundesliga ranking!"
"Did you see that the process and results of the first half of the game just proved what I said!"
"I want to reiterate that I didn't say those words just to encourage you; I really think that you are very good, and every player is at the top level of the Bundesliga! Players who can win against Leverkusen, by virtue of their What is not a top player in the Bundesliga?"
"I tell you all again: I have high expectations for you in the new Bundesliga season! Our goal for the new season is definitely not relegation! Our goal is to top ten in the league and even qualify for the European competition!"
"What if we forcefully enter Leverkusen? I am still stepping on my feet and leading the score! There are still 45 minutes left. I need you to continue to maintain your current good form and fight with them! Win our new season's First Bundesliga win!”
