Golden Greenery

Seeing the side attack of their former loser returning to glory, the 30,000 fans in the Bayer Arena fell silent for an instant, as if they were being pinched by the neck collectively.

Michel Zepek passed his old friend Bierlov and rode along the sideline with his whip raised. At this moment, he felt that all the vines that had entangled him for six years had dispersed, but at this moment the biting cold wind Full of sweetness.

Tsar Andrei Arshavin cut inside to give Zepek a gap. Brazilian defender Juan blocked Zepek's attempt to break into the penalty area, but Zepek was not worried at all because Zhuoyang was coming from behind. He came to meet him from behind.

The two of them made a standard one-two and kept passing diagonally. Zepek broke through to the baseline and began to cut horizontally towards the infield. Facing him, Nowotny and Juan, who turned over to catch up, were guarding each other. Zepek still had no worries because Zhuoyang had quietly slipped into the penalty area.

Just when Zepek was about to stab the football to Zhuo Yang, he suddenly saw Zhuo Yang giving him a gesture, indicating that he would make another choice. Without hesitation, Zepek immediately obeyed the order and twisted his ankle, passing the football in an inverted triangle to the penalty area line in front of the goal.

Arshavin received the ball, took a step horizontally to get out of the gap, and volleyed the ball low. In the 29th minute of the first half, Madibao led 2:0 away from home.

In the eyes of the fans at the scene and in front of the TV, the biggest contributor to this goal was none other than Madiburg right back Zepek. From counterattack to passing, to breaking through the bottom line, until the last pass, Zepe was Ke has nailed it, and even most Leverkusen players think so.

However, the Madiborg people themselves know very well that although the ball was at Zepek's feet most of the time, and the entire process only passed through Zepek, Zhuoyang and Arshavin, all of this happened under Zhuoyang. The whole stadium is running under the command of the people.

From the moment Zepek counterattacked Bierlov, Zhuo Yang directed the whole team's movements, using his own movements or gestures to direct. Everyone is in the most suitable position throughout the whole process, best able to contain opponents and most convenient for supporting teammates.

The Leverkusen players clearly knew what the Madiburg people wanted to do, but they were restrained or unable to catch up with the starting point. They watched helplessly as they knocked down the triangle with such a simple bottom move. Even a primary school student can use this tactic, but Leverkusen just can't defend it.

This is Zhuoyang's ability to strategize on the court. It is very simple and trouble-free to play in this way, and he can settle the matter leisurely.

.

Until the end of the first half, Zepek made a total of five successful attempts and made five crosses. On the other side, Grosso made Placente and Balich even more embarrassed. His side caused seven attacks and four hits. Forty-five minutes, Madibao hit the goal eleven times, had seven shots on target, and scored two goals.

Leverkusen had zero shots on goal in the first half.

Schneider was completely helpless at this time. He seemed to understand a little bit. Leverkusen seemed to be no longer on the same level as Madiburg.

If we say that in the first round as a newly promoted team, Madibao was full of momentum, and other teams didn't understand them, and they temporarily gave them the upper hand. But halfway through the league schedule, it would be deceiving to talk about not understanding them. In the first round, he was caught off guard, but today he was crushed by his strength.

Especially the performance of the midfielders of the two teams was more obvious.

Schneider originally thought that as a core midfielder like him, Zhuo Yang would be the one to closely mark him. Who knew that Captain Madiburg didn't even look at him, and no one did any man-to-man defense on him. But even so, Leverkusen's midfielder was suppressed and turned into a lonely ghost.

How can you not feel lonely when you can't even get the ball?

Zhuo Yang directed Khedira, Bacchus and Tsar to use large movements to respond, and used smart blocking to completely destroy Leverkusen's midfield. Coupled with the fact that Grosso and Zepek are both cool and sharp, it would be crazy if Leverkusen's midfield quartet still has the opportunity to control the ball and organize the attack.

As soon as the second half started, coach Augenthaler adjusted the lineup. The two full midfielders who were abused in the first half, Bierlov and Balic, were replaced.

Ponte and forward Ukrainian Voronin came on, and Leverkusen changed to 4-3-3 in a desperate move.

Adding forwards was a last resort. In the first half, the midfielder was a ghost and the forwards were stragglers. The handsome Bulgarian Berbatov and the Brazilian Franca were two kites with broken strings. They lost contact with each other and had to fight alone after receiving the ball a few times.

But both Dras and Westerman could defeat all their attempts. There was no shot. This is not something a Bundesliga striker would do.

The idea is good, but in practice it is not the case at all. From the beginning of the second half, Madiburg was under siege in Leverkusen's half. In fact, Madiburg did not want to play like this, because it was because of the opponent's three midfielders. It was not a face-to-face encounter between Zhuoyang and the others. Before long, they involuntarily retreated and became the back line.

What about the front three? França and Voronin couldn't get the ball at all, and could only help defend the two sides where Madibo was flying today, allowing Zepek and Grosso to walk these two players until they stuck out their tongues. Only Berbatov was left, and the cold wind in January made him shiver all over.

So, Zhuo Yang directed the whole team to sometimes hold back to give the opponent the illusion of sticking out his head, and sometimes to rush forward quickly and punch him.

.

Zhuoyang took the ball, knocked it to Khedira, and then came back and gave his left heel to Grosso. Come back again and give it to Zhirkov diagonally. In this way, Zhuoyang used himself as the axis, constantly passing the ball, receiving the ball and dispatching, and had everything under control.

Pushed to Barnetta, the ball went to Arshavin again, all short passes within five meters.

After passing through Zepek and returning to Zhuoyang, there was another short triangular pass between Banetta, Zhirkov and Gomez. When the football finally slipped to Zhuoyang's feet, there was only one lone player in front of him. goalkeeper Bute.

The two famous god-level central defenders Nowotny and Junior didn't know how Zhuoyang ran into the penalty area and behind him. As for the football, they didn't even know where it was.

Bute felt that Zhuoyang didn't have him in his eyes at all. Just like in training, he pulled the ball with his right foot and carried it with his left foot. After the fried balls passed, he faced an empty goal.

In the 59th minute of the game, Fort Madi led 3:0, and a calm Klopp began to greet the substitutes to warm up.

Zhuoyang laughed, because he played very easily today. Originally, Leverkusen was not an easy opponent to deal with. They were a little down and out but their strength was still there. The reason why they were able to tear them apart so easily was because they had improved in football.

In the past, for example, in the first round of the Bundesliga, if he wanted to defeat an opponent like Leverkusen, Zhuoyang had to work hard all over the field, running around to block left and right. But now that the ball has entered a new level, his excellent court insight has saved him a lot of things. With the power of predicting the enemy's opportunities, Zhuoyang can fully mobilize the whole team. His teammates also feel that the various routes are clearer, and everyone can get twice the result with half the effort.

Zhuoyang's improvement means that the Madibao team has improved as a whole.
