Chapter 156 Son Heung-Min Is in Excellent Condition
It wasn't until the 16th minute that Dortmund got a chance to threaten Leverkusen's goal - at that time, Zhou Yi passed the ball and helped Mark complete a shot in the penalty area. Mark's shot was saved by Leverkusen goalkeeper Bend Leno.
Dortmund also received a corner kick as a result.
After the corner kick was taken, Dortmund's two starting center backs Friedrich and Papastathopoulos conducted a header relay in the penalty area. In the end, Papastathopoulos headed the ball high...
Dortmund's central defender missed an opportunity, which is okay. Missed opportunities are very common in games. If every opportunity is not missed, football games may often have the same score as basketball games...
No one took the missed header to heart.
But soon they began to lament the missed opportunities of Mark and Papastathopoulos.
In the 18th minute, Dortmund originally made a mistake in the backcourt.
Papastathopoulos passed the football across to his center back partner Friedrich, who made a mistake when passing the football to the wing. He originally wanted to pass the ball to the full-back, but ended up passing the football directly to the feet of Leverkusen player Castro!
"Friedrich misplaced the ball!" Marcel Leif exclaimed.
There was also an uproar at Westfield Stadium.
Castro received this pie falling from the sky, and was not knocked unconscious. Instead, he calmly and quickly pushed the football forward!
He passed the football to Son Heung-min at the front!
After receiving the ball, Son Heung-min took advantage of the situation and walked into the penalty area, leaving behind Friedrich who turned around!
"What a great opportunity for Leverkusen!" the Korean commentator screamed excitedly.
"Danger!" shouted Chinese commentator Duan Xin.
Amidst the noise, Son Heung-min broke into the penalty area. Facing the attacking Weidenfeller, he raised his right foot and made a shot, but suddenly dunked the football to the left, deceiving the attacking Weidenfeller.
Then he caught up with the football in stride and took a decisive shot when the angle was already very small!
The football flew into the goal before Dortmund player Sven Bender returned to defense, and although Sven Bender had already tackled the goal line, he still could not prevent the goal from happening...
"Ahhhhhh! Son Heung-min——!!" Marcel Leif shouted with arms raised. "Son Heung-min! He is truly the 'Buster of Dortmund'! He opened the scoring for Leverkusen! He scored his fourth goal against Dortmund!!"
"Only eighteen minutes into the game, guest Leverkusen took the lead! This lead is not surprising, because before the goal, Leverkusen also had the advantage! They played very well from the beginning of the game. He is proactive and has a tendency to focus on opponents! Son Heung-min is the key figure in the team's focus on opponents! He can not only be the offensive fulcrum in the frontcourt, but also the ultimate player!" The Korean commentator was naturally excited and praised Sun Heung-min desperately.
In the contest with Zhou Yi, Sun Xingmin has already taken the lead!
Duan Xin is annoyed and frustrated by Dortmund's lagging behind. The main reason for his feelings is not that Dortmund is lagging behind, but that in the contest between Sun Xingmin and Zhou Yi, it seems that Zhou Yi is lagging behind...
As a Chinese footballer, no matter how much I emphasize objectivity and fairness on the surface, when it comes to Korean football, it is also the representative and pride of Asian football. But deep down, I still have opinions about Korean football, and they are not small. After all, the performance of the Koreans in the 2002 World Cup is obvious to all. As long as you are not a blind person or a fool, you are unlikely to have a favorable impression of Korean football.
Coupled with the grievances between Chinese and Korean football over the years, as well as the grievances in non-football aspects, Chinese football people have no good impression of Korean football.
Duan Xin was very dissatisfied with the Korean media's hype of Zhou Yi and Sun Xingmin together before the game - why should Sun Xingmin be compared with our Zhou Yi? Renzhouyi three league championships,
A Champions League champion, the best player in Europe... With so many honors, which one can compare to Son Heung-min?
As a result, the Korean media's hype has made Sun Xingmin a player of the same level as Zhou Yi. Duan Xin does not deny Sun Xingmin's talent, but now he is still far from Zhou Yi.
Duan Xin doesn't have any objections to Son Heung-min. He is mainly dissatisfied with the Korean media's behavior of forcing himself to make headlines and add drama to himself.
In his opinion, the Korean media is using Zhou Yi's fame to help hype Son Xing-min.
Therefore, he hopes that Zhou Yi can use his outstanding performance in the game to teach the Korean media how to behave and tell them that there is still a long way to go between Sun Xingmin and Zhou Yi!

After the goal, the TV broadcast gave a close-up to Son Heung-min who was celebrating the goal. He was surrounded by his teammates in the center and smiled brightly.
Then the camera turned, and Zhou Yi appeared on the screen. He stood with his hands on his hips, expressionless.
This set of shots is intriguing.
※※※
The Leverkusen players completed their celebrations despite the boos of the Dortmund fans and returned to their own half. Zhou Yi and Mark were already waiting for them in the center circle.
The referee blew his whistle and the game started again.
Dortmund, who was lagging behind, obviously stepped up their offensive, and in the following time, they laid siege to Leverkusen's goal.
Unfortunately, after nearly ten minutes of siege, Dortmund was unable to break through Leverkusen's goal. However, Leverkusen took this opportunity to counterattack vigorously. It seemed that their offense was more threatening than Dortmund's.
In the 29th minute, Grosskreutz made a pass from the right, and Aubameyang volleyed against the football in front of the goal!
This was a high-quality shot, but unfortunately, it was saved by Leno.
Then Leverkusen launched a counterattack. Hegler passed through the midfield. Son Heung-min once again got a chance to score a single goal. He dribbled the ball into the penalty area and faced Weidenfeller who was attacking!
"Son Heung-min! Leverkusen's counterattack is coming again! It's Son Heung-min again! Single-handed ball——"
In the hoarse roar of the Korean commentator.
Son Heung-min fell to one side and pushed the football to the other side with his right foot.
Weidenfeller was already kneeling on the ground, almost unable to make any more saves. Dortmund fans looked at this scene in the penalty area in horror. Is Leverkusen going to score consecutive goals?
If Leverkusen is given a two-goal lead, this game will not be easy to play...
The Leverkusen players couldn't wait to raise their arms, ready to cheer for Son Heung-min's brace.
But the football was rubbed by Weidenfeller's shoulder, and then there was a slight jump and the line changed, and it missed the goal!
"Ah——!!" the Korean commentator looked up to the sky and shouted excitedly. "It's gone! It's gone!! Son Heung-min missed the opportunity to score twice, and he also missed the opportunity to let the game fall into Leverkusen's rhythm! But it doesn't matter! Son Heung-min performed very well in this game, and he was in good condition , if you continue to play like this, I believe it will only be a matter of time before you score another goal!"
Marcel Leif also praised Sun Xingmin's performance: "Son Xingmin created another murderous opportunity! When he first transferred to Leverkusen, he was still in the adaptation period, with only one goal in the first eight games. But now He has integrated into Leverkusen's offensive system and played his own role... He has scored six goals in the last four games! Facing the hot Son Heung-min, it may be difficult for Dortmund to win at home …”
Duan Xin, who was unwilling to praise Korean players, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the ball flying out of the baseline, but he quickly pointed out the problems Dortmund was facing now: "If we continue to play like this, I'm afraid we will lose the ball. Dortmund must make a decision Something has changed. Leverkusen's victory in the away game was not only due to Son Heung-min's counterattack, but also the foul tactics they used in the game, which also had a great impact on Dortmund - Leverkusen players continued to use fouls To destroy Dortmund's offense, the referee's whistle kept sounding, making the game fragmented. I am not criticizing the referee, but I think that while strictly enforcing the law, shouldn't the referee also follow some favorable principles? Some goals are obviously It was Dortmund who was attacking, and they could have continued to attack, but the referee had to blow the whistle to stop the game... This made it impossible for Dortmund to counterattack..."
So far in the first half, Leverkusen, who are playing away from home, have indeed played better and performed more outstandingly. Although they used foul tactics, which made Dortmund supporters very unhappy, this was also a successful tactic, because really Stopped Dortmund's attack. Whether it is Zhou Yi or Shaheen, it is difficult to organize a threatening offense.
Yan Min started this game, and his performance so far has been mediocre. He seems to be in line with the experts' opinions of him before the game, thinking that he is a "super substitute" who is more suitable for coming off the bench in the second half, rather than being a starter. .
Aubameyang and Mark have also had their share of missed opportunities.
Coupled with the mistakes in the defense, Friedrich indirectly assisted Sun Xingmin's goal, and then gave Sun Xingming a solo opportunity.
So far, Dortmund fans are really worried and depressed.
※※※
Although the goal was not scored, the Korean commentator continued to praise Son Heung-min's performance: "... Son Heung-min's performance in the first half was simply radiant! His dazzling light has completely covered Zhou Yi, who seemed to He was completely suppressed by Son Heung-min's momentum... He could only have the opportunity to appear in close-up shots when Son Heung-min performed well..."
At this point, the Korean commentator couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling proud of his creative statement.
To directly say that Zhou Yi is Son Heung-min's foil is simply too simple and crude, and has no sense of beauty. It makes a lot more sense to say that Zhou Yi can only appear in close-up shots after Son Heung-min performs well. Think about it, every time Son Heung-min performs well, Zhou Yi will be taken care of by the camera. Need to say more about the meaning of this?
In the past few years, Park Ji-sung has left Manchester United and lost his glory. Korean football seems to be missing an iconic figure. We can only watch Zhou Yi rise and represent Chinese football in Europe. How many Koreans hope that one person can come out and kill him...
Under such circumstances, Son Heung-min's appearance was timely and very popular.
This game attracted the attention of fans across the country in South Korea. Everyone cheered for Sun Xingmin in front of the TV. This is a reflection of the support and attention of Korean fans.
Fortunately, Son Heung-min lived up to expectations and performed very well.
After this game is over, many Korean fans who have been suppressed for several years can finally feel proud!
