Chapter 1044 Mane
"The Salzburg Red Bull team coached by Schmidt is indeed very terrifying. In the 2013/2014 season, the Red Bull team, which mainly played a 442 formation, shocked the world football. European attention.
In a warm-up match in January 2014, Schmidt's Red Bull team defeated Guardiola's Bayern Munich 3-0. "
"Guardiola once said in an interview after the game, 'Schmidt's oppression is simply very fierce. This kind of cruel oppression is something I have never seen in my life as a coach.'" Howe said.
However, perhaps in order not to arouse the dissatisfaction of Guardiola's fans, there is one point that Howe did not mention, that is, a reporter once asked Guardiola, "For example, the sense of oppression brought by the coach's team is worse. Is it strong?"
Guardiola ignored the reporter and put him on his little blacklist.
...
Fang Jue returned to the coaching bench of the visiting team and took a seat.
What he said before the game were not formulaic politeness. He really thinks that Leverkusen is not easy to play, at least it is more difficult than the media and fans think it is easier.
High-pressure defense, crazy offense, and reuse of young players are Schmidt's coaching labels.
This is a young team with a lot of energy and a lot of fighting spirit.
The starting lineups of both sides for this game were displayed on the TV screen.
Leverkusen:
Goalkeeper: Leno;
Defense: Hibbert, Papadopoulos, Spasic, Wendell;
Midfielders: Charhanoglu, Bender, Castro, Bellarabi;
Forwards: Delmic, Keasling;
Aston Villa:

Defense: Kyle Walker, Stones, Senderos, Milner;
Midfielders: Pogba, Modric, De Bruyne;
Forwards: Mane, Lewandowski, Sanchez;
"Aston Villa, Clemente suffered a muscle strain and was unable to play in today's game. Fang Jue directed the midfield configuration of Pogba, Modric and De Bruyne."
...
"The pace of this game is very fast." He Wei commented that the game had already started for nearly 20 minutes, and although the score on the field was still zero to zero, both sides were of the kind that emphasized pressing and fast attacking. For the team, the fighting on the court was fierce for a while, and the offensive of you coming and going was also quite fierce.
Pogba broke through with the ball in the midfield, and he was brought to the ground by Bender.
The Slovakian referee Kralovic signaled that there was no foul and the game continued.
This caused Fang Jue's dissatisfaction and protest on the sidelines.
After Leverkusen completed the steal, they quickly launched a counterattack.
Their midfielder Charhanoglu sent a high-quality oblique pass. Leverkusen veteran Kisling, who was cruising at the forefront of the offense, did not choose to stop the ball, but came directly at the top of the penalty area. A throwback header hits the goal.
The stroke of the veteran who is deeply loved by Leverkusen fans but has never been able to qualify for the important competition of the German national team caught Aston Villa by surprise. Aston Villa's goalkeeper Ter Stegen was powerless against the ball Well, in the end it was the crossbar that saved Aston Villa:
The ball fell, hit the top edge of the crossbar and bounced off the baseline.
Aston Villa escaped.
Fang Jue was also in a cold sweat on the sidelines.
Leverkusen's counterattack was very simple. Charhanoglu made a direct long pass, and Kisling's header from the penalty area line lobbed the goal.
Just say such a simple offense, but almost broke Aston Villa's goal.
What upset him the most was that Aston Villa did not actually make any serious mistakes in this defense, but the goal was really threatened seriously.
This is exactly what he fears about this Leverkusen team. This team has an efficient offense, and there are so few players in the team who have the ability to suddenly break out and change the outcome of the game.
Among them is led by Leverkusen's Turkish international Charhanoglu!
Calhanoglu was born in Mannheim, Germany, the descendant of Turkish immigrants. He received the edification and training of German football since he was a child, but finally chose to play for Turkey.
Calhanoglu has a thin build, but he does not lack explosive power.
At present, Charhanoglu is very popular in the Bundesliga. Whenever his name is mentioned by the outside world, it is related to his superb set-piece skills.
The Turkish man has scored five direct free-kicks for Bayer Leverkusen in all competitions so far this season.
This is a player who claims to be able to take free kicks as penalties.
When playing for Hamburg last season, Calhanoglu scored a rock-shattering ultra-long-range free kick against Dortmund, which shocked the Bundesliga.
Before the game, Fang Jue told his players to pay attention to the place of the foul and not to give Leverkusen a chance to get a free kick in a better position.
However, having said that, Fang Jue is still worried even if it is a free kick in a not-so-good position. The Turk’s free kick is too good. Oulu is likely to score in.
But this time, Charhanoglu's long pass directly tore through Aston Villa's defense and almost assisted Kisling to score.
...
A goal from Leverkusen's side was denied by the crossbar.
Aston Villa also strengthened the frontcourt press and grabbed the ball at Bella Rabbi's feet in a defense.
Aston Villa fought back, and the individual skills of their frontcourt stars produced a stunning combination.
First Pogba passed the football to Modric.
Modric then dribbled the ball forward and stabbed the football out while attracting Leverkusen's defenders to come up and press.
De Bruyne made a gesture to catch the ball, but his legs were spread apart, and he missed the football.
Sanchez is already starting, he didn't catch the ball, but gave way, the football continued to roll, and he himself accelerated to catch up with the football, which ensured the attack speed to the greatest extent.
After Sanchez caught up with the football, he made an arc with his right foot and passed the football to the goal.
Lewandowski takes the lead.
He directly overwhelmed Papadopoulos to complete the header.
Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno made a world-class save, he saved the football.
However, before the Leverkusen fans cheered happily, they saw that at the back point, Mane faced the flying football, nodded his forehead, and easily pushed the football into the half-empty goal.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaal!"
"One to zero! Aston Villa lead Leverkusen 1 to 0 away, and Sadio Mane scored for them!"
The Senegalese boy who scored the goal was extremely excited. He rushed to the sidelines and hugged the head coach of the team, dedicating the goal to Fang Jue.
