The Glory of the Godfather

Mane's goal ignited cheers from the visitors' stand at the Bayer Sports Stadium.

In the two rounds of the knockout match, for the away side, the first record and the away goal is definitely a good start worth celebrating.

Fang Jue patted Mane on the shoulder happily, "Good job, Sadio."

Aston Villa's players also gathered around to celebrate the goal.

Aston Villa is celebrating here, and on Leverkusen's side, their head coach Schmidt frowns slightly.

He was mentally prepared for being scored by Aston Villa, but the loss came earlier than he expected.

Schmidt knows that Leverkusen must be steady at this time and must not be affected by this loss.

He came to the sidelines and shouted the name of the team's striker veteran Kisling, signalling the team to be steady and don't panic.

Kisling said that he understood that he clapped, applauded, and shouted on the court to inspire the fighting spirit of his teammates.

"It didn't take long for the game to start. It's just one ball. We'll just pull it back."

"Guys, we have been preparing for this game for so long. Disarming and surrendering is not our style."

This 191cm tall man is a veteran star in the Leverkusen team and is highly respected by the players.

...

Fang Jue thought that this loss would make Leverkusen have a period of confusion, and this period of confusion is an excellent opportunity for Aston Villa to expand the score advantage.

However, he soon noticed that Leverkusen's performance was calm and calm. It can not be said that the loss of the ball has no effect on the home team's players, but this effect is within a controllable range.

"Schmidt's team is well prepared." Ceballos said from the other side.

Fang Jue nodded, this should be the change Schmidt brought to this Leverkusen.

You know, two years ago, this team was battered by Barcelona seven to one, and Bayer has not always been so tenacious.

At the thirty-first minute of the game, Bella Rabbi passed the ball from the side. Kisling was leaning against Stones from outside the penalty area. He carried the young England defender and successfully topped the football. He headed back. .

Pogba came up to defend. He tried to sweep the football out. The football hit Castro's calf and bounced off.

Charhanoglu rushed up, and he directly kicked the ball against the football while running!

"Charhanoglu-beautiful!"

"Long shot...Did the ball score?"

The narrator saw the Turkish international rushing up on the broadcast booth with a burst shot, and the football hit Aston Villa's goal like a cannonball.

Ter Stegen dived sideways, trying to get the ball.

He has not been able to touch football.

The net behind him jittered.

Some commentators were even ready to shout ‘GOAL’ before they realized that the goal hadn’t been scored. The football bypassed the goalkeeper’s hands and moved slightly out of the post, and finally hit the side net, causing the net to shake.

Ter Stegen lay on the ground. He glanced at the football that was blocked by the side net and bounced back on the billboard. He breathed a long sigh of relief and lay on the ground.

Seeing the football hit the side net, Charhanoglu waved his hand with some chagrin. The shot felt very good when he shot. He thought it was a play, but he didn't expect it to be a little bit worse.

On the sidelines, Fang Jue almost jumped up in shock. From his perspective, seeing the net shaking, he almost thought that he had lost the ball.

...

However, only five minutes later, Aston Villa's goal was finally lost.

Leverkusen’s threatening attack still came from Turkey’s Chalkhanoglu. This was after his free kick was thrown by goalkeeper Ter Stegen. Veteran Kisling’s long legs were about to go out of the baseline. Sweeping back, Leverkusen's center-back Papadopoulos grabbed a shovel in front of the goal and scored the football into the net.

"Goooooooooooooal!"

"Papadopoulos! The goal was scored. He shot in front of the goal. One to one, the tenacious Leverkusen tied the score."

"This is Schmidt's Leverkusen. They played very tenaciously, very organized, and did a good job."

"The biggest contributor to this goal is Charhanoglu, he is the most threatening one in the Leverkusen team."

Fang Jue shook his head helplessly. The loss of the ball made him very depressed. He wanted to scold someone and didn't know who to scold. Strictly speaking, Aston Villa's defense line had no obvious loopholes.

If the only point to be blamed is that De Bruyne’s previous foul location on Kisling is questionable, which gives Charhanoglu the opportunity to play his excellent free kick footwork.

...

After losing the ball, Aston Villa launched a wave of offensive towards Leverkusen's goal.

In the 41st minute of the game, Modric sent a beautiful slash ball. After Sanchez smashed the ball continuously from the edge of the penalty area, he tried to break into the penalty area, but he suddenly disappointed the football at the top of the penalty area.

De Bruyne stabbed with his toe, and Lewandowski in front of the goal held Spasic, half-turned and volleyed.

"Pretty! Leno!"

"A world-class save!"

The commentator was full of praise for Leno's save, his body sank, and his right hand raised high and shot the football out.

The football was pushed back by Senderos.

Aston Villa made a comeback and launched a second attack.

Pogba split and passed the football to Mane.

Mane drove the ball along the wing.

Bella Rabbi defended him.

This German star is very clever. He did not blindly kick his feet. Instead, he got stuck in the line of Mane's cut while fighting and retreating. He planned to continue to push Mane towards the bottom line, preferably the other side. It is a very successful defense to hit the football on the sideline or the bottom line.

Unexpectedly, Mane made a hook and stabbed Bella Rabbi between the legs when the football was about to go out of bounds.

Following this, Mane took advantage of Bellarabi's not yet able to complete the turn, he passed from the other side, successfully bypassed the defender, and chased the football.

"Pretty, the ball is passed through the crotch." The commentator Lineker shouted happily, "The Senegalese are in a very good state today."

Mane, who had passed Bella Rabbi, planned to go straight to the door.

Papadopoulos came to intercept, he stretched his foot to block and knocked the football out of the baseline, and Mane fell to the ground after contact.

The referee pointed to the corner kick.

Fang Jue raised his arms high in protest from the sidelines. He thought it should be a penalty.

"Mane fell in the penalty area and the referee awarded a corner kick. Is this a penalty or a corner kick?"

"A penalty kick? No, no, no, the referee signaled that it was a corner kick." The commentator also talked about the penalty.

Slow-motion playback shows that Papadopoulos did encounter football first. Although the Greeks have a relatively large defensive action, it is indeed a penalty.

"Corner kick, Aston Villa got a corner kick. This is a good opportunity for them." John Mortensen said.
