"The Salzburg Red Bulls coached by Schmidt is indeed very terrifying. In the 2013/2014 season, the Red Bulls, which focuses on the 442 formation, shocked the world football world. The high-level oppressive style that Schmidt instilled in the team attracted the attention of all Europe.

In a warm-up match in January 2014, Red Bulls led by Schmidt defeated Bayern Munich 3-0 under Guardiola."

"Guardiola once said in a post-match interview, 'Schmidt's oppression is simply very fierce, and this level of cruel oppression is something I have never seen as a coach in my life.'" He Wei said.

However, perhaps in order not to arouse the dissatisfaction of Guardiola's fans, one thing He Wei did not mention, that was, a reporter once asked Guardiola, "For example, do you think the feeling of oppression brought by the coach's team is even stronger?"

Guardiola ignored the reporter and placed him on his little blacklist.

...

Fang Jue returned to the visiting team coach's seat and sat down.

What he said before the game was not formulaic politeness. He really thought Leverkusen was not easy to play, at least it was a little more difficult than what the media and fans thought.

High pressure defense, crazy offense, and reusing young players is Schmidt's coaching label.

This is a very dynamic and fighting young team.

The lineups of both sides of this game were played on the TV screen.

Leverkusen:

Goalkeeper: Leno;

Defence line: Hibert, Papadopoulos, Spasic, Wendel;

Midfielder: Cialhanoglu, Bend, Castro, Bellarabi;

Front line: Delmitch, Kislin;

Aston Villa:

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen;

Defensive line: Kyle Walker, Stones, Sendroth, Milner;

Midfielder: Pogba, Modric, De Bruyne;

Forwards: Mane, Lewandowski, Sanchez;

"Clemente's muscle strain on Aston Villa side, he couldn't play today's game. Coach Fang Jue arranged the midfield configurations of Pogba, Modric and De Bruyne."

...

"The pace of this game is very fast." He Wei commented. The game has been nearly twenty minutes since the game started. Although the score on the court is still zero to zero, both sides are the kind of teams that emphasize pressing and fast attack. The fighting on the court is fierce for a while, and the attacks are also quite fierce.

Pogba scored a goal in the midfield and broke through, and he was knocked to the ground by Bend.

The Slovakian referee Klarovic in this game indicated that there was no foul and the game continued.

This aroused dissatisfaction and protests from Fang Jue on the sidelines.

After Leverkusen completed this steal, he quickly launched a counterattack.

Their midfielder Cialhanolu gave a slanted pass with a quality skill. Leverkusen veteran Kislin, who was cruising at the front of the attack, did not choose to stop the ball, but instead directly came to a back-turned header at the top of the penalty area.

This veteran who is loved by Leverkusen fans but never missed the important German national team competition, caught Aston Villa off guard. Aston Villa's goalkeeper Ter Stegen is powerless to do anything about the ball, and it was the crossbar that saved Aston Villa:

The ball fell, hit the upper edge of the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line.

Aston Villa escaped.

Fang Jue was also shocked and sweated coldly on the sidelines.

Leverkusen's counterattack was very simple, with Calhanoglu passing directly and Kislin heading the ball on the penalty area line.

Just talking about such a simple attack, it almost broke through Aston Villa's goal.

What made him most unhappy was that Aston Villa did not actually make any serious mistakes in this defense, but the goal was actually seriously threatened.

This is exactly his fear of this Leverkusen team. This team is efficient in offense, and there are several players within the team who have the ability to suddenly explode and change the results of the game.

Among them, Leverkusen's Turkish international Cialhanoglu is the leader!

Cialhanoglu was born in Mannheim, Germany and is a descendant of Turkish immigrants. He was influenced and trained by German football since childhood, but eventually chose to play for Türkiye.

Cialhanolu is thin but not lacking in explosive power.

Currently, Cialhanolu is popular in the Bundesliga. Whenever the outside world mentions his name, it is related to his super set-piece skills.

So far this season, the Turkish player has scored five direct free kicks for Leverkusen in various competitions.

This is a player who claims to be able to use free kicks as penalties.

When playing for Hamburg last season, Cialhanoglu scored a shockingly long-distance free kick against Dortmund, which shocked the Bundesliga.

Before the game, Fang Jue reminded his players to pay attention to the location of the foul and not give Leverkusen the chance to get a better free kick.

However, after all, even for free kicks in a bad position, Fang Jue was still worried that the Turkish free kick level was too strong, and some goals that seemed to be impossible to score were possible.

This time, Calhanolu's long pass directly broke through Aston Villa's defense and almost assisted Kislin to score.

...

Leverkusen's goal was rejected by the crossbar.

Aston Villa also strengthened the frontcourt press and grabbed the ball under Bellarabi in a defense.

Aston Villa fought back, and their personal skills between several of their frontcourt stars made an amazing cooperation.

First, Pogba passed the football to Modric.

Then, Modric dribbled the ball forward, attracting Leverkusen's defensive players to come up and press the ball.

De Bruyne made a move to catch the ball, but his legs spread apart and he missed the ball.

Sanchez was already starting, and he did not catch the ball, but took the opportunity to go with the situation, the football continued to roll, and he himself accelerated to catch up with the football, which ensured the offensive speed to the maximum extent.

After Sanchez caught up with the football, he directly made a curve with his right foot and passed the football towards the goal.

Lewandowski grabbed the front point.

He directly beat Papadopoulos and completed the header.

Leverkusen's goalkeeper Leno made a world-class save and saved the football.

However, before the fans of Leverkusen cheered with gratitude, they saw at the back point, Mane approaching the flying football, and gently pushed the football into half of the empty goal with a little forehead.

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaal!”

"One to zero! Aston Villa led Leverkusen 1 to zero away, and it was Sadio Mane who scored for them!"

The Senegalese young man who scored the goal was extremely excited. He rushed to the sidelines and hugged the team's head coach and presented the goal to Fang Jue.
Chapter completed!
