During the 15-minute break at halftime, Leverkusen coach Skibe scolded the players.
"You can't even beat a relegation team like Cottbus? I can't believe it!"
Skibe looked at the players present, he was really angry.
In fact, to be fair, Leverkusen performed well in the first half. Except for the opening goal, their offense and defense played well.
But their biggest enemy is last season's best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga, Hildebrand.
In the 45 minutes of the first half, Hildebrand saved a total of 5 threatening shots. If he was not standing in front of the Cottbus goal, then Cottbus would have fallen behind.
In fact, Skibe also knew it, but he was just unhappy with the young Chinese coach from Cottbus.
It's really depressing for a relegation team to have bad luck at our home court!
Skibe adjusted the lineup and replaced the veteran midfielder Schneider. Although his performance in the first half was remarkable, at the age of 34, Schneider's speed disadvantage is obvious. Skibe replaced the younger Barnetta, allowing the 22-year-old Swiss midfielder to continue to attack Cottbus' midfield line.
On the front line, Papadopoulos, who missed consecutive excellent opportunities, was replaced, and his replacement was 20-year-old Kulldorf.
As a result, Skibe felt a little better.
"In the second half of the game, you must attack with all your strength! Although their two forwards are powerful, if you cut off the passing line in the midfield, then their forwards will have no chance to get the ball. And your two full-backs must also Press boldly! The two full-backs in Cottbus are not very strong, especially Shao Jiayi. He can be in the starting lineup because he is a compatriot with the head coach."
"I only have one request for the second half - score as soon as possible, equalize as soon as possible, and take the lead as soon as possible! I only accept victory in this game and will not accept any other result!"
When the Leverkusen players walked out of the tunnel, their expressions looked very serious.
I don’t blame the head coach for being angry. He conceded a goal at the beginning in front of the home fans and is still lagging behind. Today’s performance is indeed not good...
The players felt a lot of pressure and walked quickly onto the court to prepare for the second half of the game.
Skibe looked at the players on the court, feeling a little depressed.
At the end of the first half, he faintly heard the boos from the home fans behind him. The first league game of the new season is so embarrassing. How can we play in the next games?
Skibe thought as he saw the Cottbus players coming out of the tunnel and running towards the pitch.
Yun Sheng and other members of the coaching staff also filed out.
Different from the Leverkusen players, Cottbus, from player to coach, is full of youth and is in a good mood.
This makes Skibbey even more unhappy!
Isn't it just one goal ahead? Let’s see if you can still laugh after we equalize and go ahead later!
The referee looked at his watch, blew the whistle, and the second half of the game began!
Cottbus took the lead in the second half of the game, and they encountered a huge crisis just after the game started!
"After Adriano and Cassano passed the ball to each other, they quickly penetrated into Leverkusen's penalty area! Sauer passed the ball across to Rost, who wanted to make a fuss on the right!"
"Barnetta made a head-on tackle! Rost lost the ball! Barnetta passed the ball through the ball and passed it along the wing to the 20-year-old young player Kulldorf!"
"Kuldorf got away from Ipsa! He took a shot from the penalty area line!"
"Hildebrand touched it with his fingertips! The ball bounced off the baseline!"
"This shot was so powerful that it almost helped Leverkusen equalize the score! Hildebrand has made another great contribution!"
The home team fans in the stands sighed. It was a pity that this wonderful shot was not scored.
And Hesl in the live broadcast room also felt extremely regretful: "What a pity! Leverkusen's opening tackle and counterattack just now was very similar to the way Cottbus scored at the beginning of the game. This game The only position where Leverkusen is inferior to their opponents is the goalkeeper."
They almost scored in the opening game, but Leverkusen became more and more excited as they played. They created many good opportunities in a row, keeping Hildebrand busy. In particular, the two young players Barnetta and Kulldorf who just came on the field performed even more eye-catchingly.
After the false alarm just now, the Cottbus players became a little timid. They began to dare not attack and all stayed behind to defend.
Yun Sheng on the sidelines was very dissatisfied. He shouted loudly on the sidelines: "Guys, don't defend, seize the opportunity to counterattack!"
Despite this, Cottbus players still had extremely poor counterattack efficiency.
Especially the cooperation on the right wing.
Although Cassano had a good passing pass in the first half and almost made an assist.
But throughout the game, his performance was still unsatisfactory.
Facing Leverkusen's level of defense, it is impossible for Cassano to be so inactive!
Of course, Yun Sheng was thinking about the omnipotent Cassano.
Now it seems difficult for Cassano to find the feeling of aura that he once had. This is simply a far cry from the performance of the talented boy he once was.
Yunsheng knew that this was related to the fact that Cassano had not played in a game for Real Madrid for a long time.
But now that he has chosen to take the risk and come to Cassano on loan, he is already ready.
After all, in the parallel world of later generations, Cassano was loaned back to Sampdoria in the 0708 season and performed very well. Yun Sheng chose this deal based on the impression of Cassano resurrected in his memory.
On the right wing, in addition to Cassano, right midfielder Rost's performance in this game was also unsatisfactory.
Rost is the team's No. 7 player and the absolute main force last season. He has a balance of offense and defense on the right and plays very steadily, which is deeply appreciated by Sandel.
But in this new Cottbus team under the guidance of Yunsheng, Rost's calmness seems a bit conservative.
In the two consecutive offensive opportunities just now, Rost lost the good opportunities because of his own conservatism.
If he had been more bold and chosen to go forward, perhaps Cottbus would have extended his lead by now.
However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Rost, because in the midfield position, although Bandrovski is sharp in defense, his speed and explosive power are not dominant. In one-on-one defense, he is very capable, but The coverage area in the backcourt is not large, and Rost and Shaojia always need to retreat to cover the defense. This is also an important reason why Cottbus' midfielder cannot press forward.
Looking at the situation on the field, Yun Sheng sighed in his heart.
After all, Cottbus is a recognized Bundesliga relegation team and was still struggling on the relegation line last season. If you want to make a breakthrough this season, you still need to do a lot.
There is still a long way to go...
