Snapped!
The corner kick is delivered into the penalty area.
With the cover of his teammates, Hao Ren took off and successfully won the first point.
boom!
The ball was headed to Werner on the side!
Werner chested the ball down and controlled it at his feet.
As the defender rushed in, Werner immediately made a lateral movement and a clever push shot.
!!!
The goalkeeper prepared to sit down and block, but Werner's shot went right through between his legs.
this----
J
Wow!!!
The Red Bull Arena suddenly exploded at some point.
"Goal!"
"Timor Werner!"
"He scored with an assist from Hao Ren!"
"This is RB Leipzig's first ever Bundesliga goal!"
Chaos erupted in the penalty area as Werner ran left and right, finally managing to break through with his teammates.
boom!
Werner and Poulsen slid on their knees together.
"Sauber!!!"
Soon the other players on the field arrived, and Hao Ren opened his arms and hugged Werner and Poulsen together.
Dongqiudi live match report: Hao Ren headed the ball and passed it to Werner, who nutmegged the goalkeeper and scored, giving Leipzig their first-ever Bundesliga goal.
Wow, Hao Hao's header was amazing!
[Awesome!]
[Wait, something doesn't feel right, guys. Is Hannover a Bundesliga team? Aren't they a bit too weak?]
High-level pressure! This is what high-level pressure looks like!
The away team's defenders were probably stunned; there was nothing they could do. Poulsen and Werner were constantly pressing for the ball in the attacking third, putting them under immense pressure.
"DasTorerzielte... (The goal scorer)"
"Timo Wernerrrr!!!! (Timo Werner)"
The Leipzig players gathered together on the field, enjoying the moment of celebration.
Hao Ren was very excited.
He keenly noticed the difference between the broadcasts of the Bundesliga and the 2. Bundesliga.
Compared to the lackluster broadcasts of the 2. Bundesliga, the live broadcasts of the Bundesliga are not only more professional, but also more exciting!
This is what top-level football should be like!
"RB!"
'
Boom!
"RB!"
Bang bang bang!
I've found my rhythm in the game, so everything will be much easier from now on.
Captain Poulsen clapped his hands, signaling his teammates to stay alert.
The first half isn't over yet!
25 minutes.
Hanova launched an attack from the middle.
Judging from the away team players' positioning, they seem to be trying to send a through ball from the middle to the byline.
Hao Ren definitely wouldn't agree to this.
On defense, Hao Ren has always been a very "stingy" guy.
If the opponent gets a great opportunity to penetrate, he will feel uncomfortable.
After retreating a short distance, Hao Ren, Dem, and the retreating Poulsen suddenly launched an attack.
The away team's attacking midfielder was dribbling forward when three Leipzig players charged in from three completely different directions.
!!!
Priebu looked tense and immediately looked for the nearest teammate.
Karaman on the right front!
Demme's run was an arc, so passing the ball to Karaman was risky!
Then give it to Klaus!
Klaus has been targeted by Kimmich —
With no other option, Priebu, in a state of tension, chose to pass the ball forward to find center forward Eldinci.
Hao Ren fell to his side, using his body to block the pass.
"Oh!!"
Klaus tried to grab it, but Kimmich beat him to it!
"Beautiful, Kimmich!"
"This is what we said before, Kimmich, the understanding between him and Hao Ren is extraordinary."
"I don't know if you saw it just now, but when Hao Ren was about to dive down to intercept, Kimmich rushed out in advance. He must have known what his teammate was going to do next."
"Here comes Leipzig's counterattack."
"Kimmich made a direct long pass, very decisive!"
For some reason, every time the defense regains possession and starts a counterattack, the Leipzig players seem to be on fire.
Just like it is now.
The Leipzig players' performance gave the impression that there was a mad dog chasing the ball, so the players had to get it to the front as fast as possible.
Forsberg controlled the ball on the left wing.
He pretended to start, but actually passed the ball to Werner.
"Depend on!"
Werner didn't react at first, but luckily he was fast enough and managed to get the ball first.
"Hurry! Hurry!"
Werner hadn't dribbled the ball much before Poulsen started urging him on again.
I didn't expect the pressure of playing center forward in Leipzig to be so great.
Werner dribbled closer, when he heard a sound from behind.
Hao Ren and Kimmich, who were just playing defensive combinations in the backcourt, are now in position behind him.
"."
'
Werner controlled the ball and passed it directly to Hao Ren behind him.
Then came the ruthless move: Hao Ren didn't even stop the ball, extending his right foot to knock it back to Werner.
Werner reacted quickly, seizing the opportunity to rush into the penalty area, drawing the defense before passing the ball to Forsberg on the left.
"Just attack!"
"TO0ORRR！！！！！"
"Goal!"
"2:0!"
"Leipzig scores!"
This play was indeed a bit rushed, but the final result was very good.
Less than 30 minutes into the first half, Leipzig had already taken a two-goal lead!
The players on the field joined Forsberg in the celebration.
Hao Ren and Poulsen approached Werner: "If you're going to make a run, hurry up! Don't just dribble the ball and stay still!"
Hao Ren put a hand on Werner's shoulder: "You should have run forward when Emil (Forsberry) was about to stop the long pass. Stopping now will waste a lot of time!"
"hiss----"
Werner took a deep breath and then began to swing his arms.
Logically speaking, he is one of the few players in the team who has played in the Bundesliga.
But----
Why is it that he's also the one who can't keep up with the team's pace?
Seeing Werner looking somewhat guilty, Hao Ren immediately waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing, it's a minor issue. Anyway, we scored!"
The next second, Leipzig's number 10 came down to the stands and held up two fingers to the home fans in front of him.
It means 2:0.
39 minutes.
"The away team players seem a bit dazed."
"Well, they didn't seem to expect Leipzig's passing and teamwork to be so smooth. But it's not too bad, considering that Hannover's players are quite experienced. So, for the away team, what they need now is time to adjust at halftime."
"The style of play that Leipzig uses results in players losing stamina relatively quickly."
The CCTV commentator was indeed professional; he immediately identified the problem.
Leipzig's aggressive, dog-like style of play is indeed very physically demanding.
Of course, the Leipzig coaching staff isn't stupid either.
Around the 35-minute mark, the Leipzig players gradually began to slow down the pace of the game.
"Be steady, be steady!"
"Relax! Don't rush!"
Rangnick pressed down with both hands.
Most players are quite obedient, but there are always a few who have their own ideas.
boom!
Hao Ren made a flying tackle in front of Rangnick, sending Klaus flying as he dribbled the ball forward.
,
"Beautiful! Beautiful!"
"Good, slow down a bit!"
Rangnick pointed to his own goal: "We can drop back and put pressure on our center-backs!"
"We have the advantage now, so you can reduce the frequency of support!"
'
'
As the home team began to adjust its tactics, the situation on the field gradually changed.
Hannover's possession rate has increased dramatically, and they are almost making up for their previous lack of possession opportunities.
Even 40 minutes later, the away team still had a few decent shots on goal.
However, these shots were merely "good" and not enough to break through the goal.
"It's very difficult for the away team to score if they play like this, because there are too many defenders in Leipzig's penalty area, and any shot from their forwards will be blocked by the defenders."
"Beep, whoosh!!!"
"Oh! The first half is over!"
"So—the score is currently 2-0, with RB Leipzig taking the lead at home!"
"The key is still the second half; it mainly depends on how Fronzek (the away team's coach) makes adjustments."
Glug!
Hao Ren took a small sip of water and then began to pour water to wash his hands.
"Hey! Leave some for me!"
Kimmich reached for the water, but Hao Ren dodged him, saying, "Take it yourself. I'm going to finish this bottle."
"Damn it, if you need to wash your hands, could you have done it while you were on the court? You've made the locker room wet!"
After complaining, Kimmich then poured water to wash his hands: "If the locker room video is released and I get scolded by fans, I'll just say I learned it from Mr. Goodman."
"Alright, alright, everyone sit down now!"
Rangnick and Almas erased everything on the tactical board and then wrote something new.
"Timo, I know you have good dribbling skills, but don't always think about dribbling."
"Dribbling is certainly useful, but if you don't need to dribble, then you should pass the ball quickly. You need to know how to analyze the situation."
Rangnick slapped his thigh: "You have to think of it this way: this football on the grass is 100 degrees Celsius, like boiling water. The sooner you get the ball out, the better! You know, that's how it is most of the time."
"Then there's the center-back."
"Our style of play is very physically demanding. So when I say we should drop back to defend, you should drop back as far as possible, and the center-backs need to come out and do more."
Rangnick started drawing on the tactics board.
However, this guy really doesn't have much artistic talent; to understand his thoughts, listening is more effective than watching.
"Someone has to expend energy. If the forwards need to rest temporarily, then someone has to step up, and the center-backs are the key."
"The center-backs can be bolder, even bolder! Of course, this only applies when we're in the lead, like in the second half, we can do that in the second half."
"."
'
After a brief reorganization, the players in the room stood up one after another, ready to begin their second half of the game.
Hao Ren and Poulsen were chatting happily as they came out of the locker room.
"The other side doesn't seem that strong, not even as strong as Ingolstadt."
"You want to go to Ingolstadt again?" Poulsen joked.
"No, I was just using them as a comparison, otherwise how would you understand what I meant?"
As Poulsen pushed Hao Ren forward, he said, "No explanation is needed. I always know what Mr. Goodman is thinking."
"Stop bragging. Even Mr. Goodman can't read minds, how could you possibly?"
PS: Regarding the update issue.
Qidian has changed its recommendation mechanism. The current intelligent recommendation is different from before, but it's unclear exactly how.
My current guess is that order backorders might exceed sales volume, so I can't update too much.
Because if there are too many updates, the daily subscription price will be higher, leading to a decrease in the average number of subscriptions, which in turn affects the book's circulation.
I have an author friend whose subscriptions dropped, which led to a decrease in traffic from the smart push system, and then he couldn't recover, so I'm a little scared.
-
Regarding this, I want to mention the order backlog. If future research proves that sales volume exceeds order volume, I will provide further updates.
Currently, it's around 1 per day (most of the time it's around 1).
I promised to update 2 words in 10 days, and I will do so later. If I can't update 4 chapters due to the intelligent push, I will make up for it slowly by writing 2000 words a day.
Today's update is 1.1 words, tomorrow's will be 1.2 words, both will be 3 chapters. There won't be a 4-chapter update anytime soon.
Thank you!
