This highly anticipated matchup ended in a 3-3 draw.
Both teams had some regrets and failed to get the three points they wanted.
After the two rounds of the Champions League group stage, the standings in Group A are still very confusing, and no team has an absolute advantage in qualifying.
In the first round of the group match, Depor defeated Manchester City 2-2 and Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 Leverkusen.
After the second round of the group stage, Deportivo 3-3 Paris and Manchester City 1-1 Leverkusen.
Paris currently ranks first with 4 points. Deportivo and Manchester City, which have two consecutive draws, are tied for second. Leverkusen, which only scored one point, is ranked last, but they are only one point behind Paris at the top.
In the next three or four rounds of the group stage, Leverkusen will have two back-to-back contests with Deportivo. Both teams are in desperate need of wins and points.
The continuous winning streak in the domestic league has become the norm for Deportivo. This season, Depor is very similar to last season. It started with a wave of consecutive wins and points, which makes Yunsheng very satisfied.
What makes him even more happy is that in the rotation of the AB lineup, young people have gradually become Deportivo's new force, setting off a wave of youth storm in La Liga. De Bruyne continues to lead the assist list, and Wu Lei's goal The numbers have always been higher than Messi and Ronaldo.
In addition, although the team has been fighting continuously recently, there have been no serious injuries, which makes Yun Sheng even more gratified.
Time has passed and it is late October, and the third and fourth rounds of the Champions League group stage are about to begin.
Facing Leverkusen, who was the weakest in the group on paper, Yun Sheng gave the team a death order this time - they must win both games!
And this Leverkusen team relies on their overall style of play to dominate the Bundesliga. Their star players are Kiessling and Son Heung-min on the striker.
Kiessling, who is 191cm tall, is the backbone of Leverkusen's forward line. His header and shooting are very strong.
Korean Son Heung-min, who just transferred to Leverkusen this summer, has quickly become a weapon for the team to destroy the city. His dribbling, speed and scoring ability are now the weapons that Leverkusen relies on most.
This game is also known as the Champions League Asian Derby.
In fact, for Yun Sheng, he had long since ignored this statement.
As early as when I was coaching in the Bundesliga, the Asian derby between Cottbus and Frankfurt was hyped to the sky.
However, with the rise of the Chinese army traveling to Europe in recent seasons, this so-called Asian derby is no longer popular among Chinese fans.
Asian derby? There are so many derbies in China?
Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham in the Premier League...
Bundesliga’s Bayern, Schalke 04…
Juventus and Milan in Serie A...
Deportivo and Atletico Madrid in La Liga...
There are a lot of Chinese derbies in the five major leagues every year. Who is still interested in paying attention to Asian derbies?
Even though the current international ranking of the Chinese national team is still not among the top in Asia, it does not hinder the huge expectations of Chinese fans for the Chinese national team in Europe.
In this match between Deportivo and Leverkusen, the contest between Deportivo's Chinese central axis and Leverkusen's Son Heung-min seems to have a clear winner.
As a player in the same position, Son Heung-min is just a new star in the Bundesliga. Wu Lei has already surpassed Messi and Ronaldo in the La Liga scorer list. Is there any comparison?
In the third round of the group stage, Depor took a 3-0 lead in the first half at Leverkusen's home court, completely establishing the victory.
And the three goalscorers were all Wu Lei! A hat trick for a Chinese player! Completely tormenting Korean newcomers!
In the second half, Yunsheng adjusted the formation, letting Wu Lei, Kaká and Riquelme take a rest, and replaced James Ronaldo, De Bruyne and Pogba.
The three supernovas still maintained their excellent form and scored two more goals in the second half. De Bruyne and Pogba each contributed an assist. Ronaldo scored twice, rewriting the score to 5-0.
In the final stage of the game, taking advantage of Depor's relaxation, Son Heung-min made a sneak attack and scored a face-saving goal.
The final score of the game was fixed at 5-1, and Depor finally won their first victory in the Champions League group stage this season.
Half a month later, Deportivo once again faced the challenge of Leverkusen at home. With only one point in three games, Leverkusen was already on the verge of elimination. They even had a slim chance of third place. , there is absolutely no room for error in this game.
Although they achieved a big victory in the last game, Yunsheng still treated this game with caution and played with all the main players.
The course of the game was very similar to the previous game. In just 45 minutes, Deportivo took a 3-goal lead at home and established the victory.
Yunsheng followed suit and sent out three young players Carrasco, Lukaku and Koulibaly in the second half. In the final stage of the game, Carrasco passed the three of them with a wonderful pass, and Lukaku grabbed the ball in the penalty area. , freezing the game at 4-0.
After the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Depor finally scored six points against Bayer Leverkusen.
In the other two back-to-back contests between Paris and Manchester City, the scores were Paris 4-2 Manchester City at home and Manchester City 3-1 Paris at home.
There is victory and defeat for each other.
After four rounds, the standings are becoming clearer.
Depor has two wins and two draws with 8 points, ranking first.
Paris has two wins, one draw and one loss, with 7 points, ranking second.
Manchester City has one win, two draws and one loss, with 5 points, ranking third.
Leverkusen, which is hard to win, is still at the bottom with 1 point.
In the last two rounds of games against Manchester City and Paris, Depor can ensure qualifying for the group by winning just one game.
After two consecutive draws at the start of the group stage, Depor finally got back on track.
Staying in the league and returning to the top of the Champions League group stage, Depor have been having a smooth sailing recently.
With everything going well for the club, the national team match day, which has been criticized by European giants, has arrived again.
As a big player in the country, wealthy teams are about to face the intrusion of the FIFA virus, and now Depor is no exception.
The only thing that reassures Yun Sheng is that many of the outstanding veterans in the team have retired from the national team, and there will be no injury crisis or impact on their form.
On this national team match day, Yunsheng is most concerned about, and it is also what all Chinese fans are most concerned about.
The final battle of the Chinese team!
On November 14, at the Centennial Stadium in Montevideo, Uruguay, the Chinese national team and Uruguay will fight for a precious spot in the World Cup.
Although Uruguay was one of the top four teams in the last World Cup, many players on the Chinese team have become famous in Europe.
But neither team is in top form.
Uruguay's strength has declined seriously. In a parallel world of later generations, they barely qualified for the group stage in the 2014 World Cup and were eliminated in the quarter-finals. The 34-year-old Forlan is getting older. The two star players Cavani and Suarez, as the main players of their respective clubs, have almost no rotation in multi-line operations. Their physical condition is also an issue.
However, many players of the Chinese team were injured and missed this game due to injuries, so they were unable to show their strongest strength. Moreover, the Chinese team was playing away from home today and was tired from the journey. Today, the Chinese team is in a critical situation.
Can the Chinese team led by Gao Bo overcome the crisis in the away game and return to the World Cup?
