Chapter 58 Final victory and hidden dangers (Dragon Boat Festival fourth update)
With Kenny's goal, the two sides returned to the same starting line.
Such a situation and situation is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Leverkusen.
If such a score can be maintained until the end of the game, then a draw is not unacceptable for them as a guest in Moscow.
Among the four teams in Group A of the UEFA Champions League this season, Real Madrid is undoubtedly the seed team. If Leverkusen does not want to leave the Champions League early, they must compete with Sporting Lisbon and Sparta Moscow for the precious No.2.
Now that Leverkusen is in some internal and external difficulties, it is undoubtedly a better result to draw with Sparta in an away game to score a precious point and score an away goal.
Compared with Real Madrid, which decides to suppress their strength, and Sparta Moscow, which has strong physical fitness, Sporting Lisbon, which is at an intermediate level, is what they must win!
It is precisely with this mentality that in the second half of the game, the Leverkusen players fought for every inch of ground. Facing the fierce counterattack of the Russians, they relied on their unyielding will to hold on to the score and even scored a goal. Almost a chance to score.
But it was also this opportunity that put Leverkusen's players into a desperate situation.
In the No.70 second minute of the game, Leverkusen goalkeeper Mattisek took the ball with a big kick, and Ponte, who came off the bench, won the ball with a header and passed the ball to Ballack.
In the face of the Spartans' scrambling, Ballack and Kenny made two exquisite two-pass and one-pass cooperation in the midfield position. Under the cheers of the audience and fans, they also The flames of war were re-ignited outside the penalty area of the Moscow Spartans.
After making observations, Ballack found the right opportunity and once again displayed his coquettish pass, hoisting the Spartans to the far point with a fake big foot, but the moment the ball was shot, the ball was tight. Stick to the lawn and go straight to Kirsten in the penalty area!
When the Spartan players realized that they were being tricked again, Kirsten had successfully turned around with the ball!
Facing the goal, he directly chose a burst shot. His years of experience and excellent ability convinced him that he would never have any problems in this position!
But what he never expected was that the moment he was about to step out, Insaurald, who had been teased by Kenny before, appeared behind him, and his eyes were bloodshot. Got Kirsten!
For a moment, the world seemed to be quiet. As Kirsten fell down with a miserable cry, the angry Leverkusen players rushed over one after another. The Brazilian Emerson, who had the best relationship with Kirsten, grabbed him directly. Insaurald's collar yelled angrily.
Faced with such a situation, the referee Larsen would naturally not show mercy. After rushing to separate the players from both sides, he not only awarded a penalty to Leverkusen, but also directly showed Insaurald for a malicious foul. A red card sent him off the field, and Emerson, who was losing his mind due to anger, also received a yellow card.
Such a near-fair penalty also made the players of both sides temporarily restrain themselves. Under the boos of the Spartan fans, Leverkusen captain Ramello scored a penalty kick to seal the score. In 2 to 1.
In the next game, although Sparta had one less player to fight, the Leverkusen team, which had lost an important fulcrum, was once in trouble and could not find the rhythm of attack.
Without Kirsten's fulcrum role, Kenny alone cannot pose too much threat.
In the end, Leverkusen surprisingly defeated Spartak Moscow 2-1 in the away game.
After the game, the Leverkusen players did not accept too many interviews. They hurriedly left the field frowning. They just wanted to know how their teammate Kirsten was doing.
But the final result also made Leverkusen's players fall into a gloomy situation. Kirsten, who was hit unpreparedly, suffered serious waist injuries and is expected to be unable to represent the team again within two months. !
The absence of Kirsten means that Leverkusen has lost the only fulcrum in the penalty area. In addition, Brdarich is injured. The remaining forwards such as Kenny are all small and fast players. For the next game, not only the tactical arrangement is worrying, but even the personnel rotation cannot be done!
Not only Kenny and others sat under the return plane, even the acting coach Worrall did not expect such a situation to happen.
In his original plan, after he took control of the team, Kirsten would be an important part!
Neuville and Link are on the left and right, and Kenny, according to the agreement he reached with Brdarich, he will no longer get the opportunity to play outside the contract, but at this moment Kirsten's injury makes him face a dilemma choice.
Originally, with his qualifications and status, he could only suppress Kenny forcibly, but now Kenny's performance is obvious to all, and in the case of Kirsten's injury, if he insists on not appointing Kenny, Then not only the fans, I am afraid the club executives will not agree!
Without Kirsten and Burdarich, who was reimbursed for the season, without Kenny, this prospect is not optimistic!
"What should I do?" Looking at Kenny who was talking softly with Barak not far away, Worrall fell into deep thought.
While the Leverkusen team was still immersed in the haze of Kirsten's injury, the European continent also ushered in a huge storm!
On September 2000, 9, while Leverkusen was playing against Spartak Moscow, Bayern Munich sports director Hoeness publicly declared on a TV program that Leverkusen's current coach Daum was not suitable to be the coach of the German national team!
And later in the column of the German media "Munich Evening News" published news and comments about the candidate German national team coach Daum's suspected female votes and extortion!
This remark quickly caused an uproar. It is generally believed that this is the revenge and slander of Bayern's sports director Hoeness, who is Daum's old opponent.
In the face of Hoeness's words, the Leverkusen spokesman quickly responded, saying that this was a groundless statement, and ordered Hoeness to make a public apology quickly. Before that, the Leverkusen club will retain legal investigation. power!
The German Football Association also quickly issued a statement warning Hoeness not to make any radical actions and remarks.
For a while, various celebrities and people in the German football world stood up and condemned Hoeness. Even Franz Beckenbauer, who is known as the emperor of German football and highly respected, also publicly supported Daum, saying that Daum he knew was a Good coaches and perfect men don't behave like Hoeness said.
And said: "Mr. Hoeness's behavior and remarks are not a gentleman's way!"
