Lin Xuan finally felt the challenge.
From the Sixth High School, to the Arsenal youth team, and then to the German Second Division, he had not met any decent opponents except for Wozczesny.
They were unable to block Lin Xuan's ferocious tiger shot.
Even the youth team's Wozniak could only occasionally pounce when he was in good condition.
It was estimated that he would only have the ability to deal with Fierce Tiger's shot when he grew into his complete form.
With ample shooting space and the right distance, the Tiger Style shot was almost always a must.
Until now.
Hoffenheim's rear defensive line underestimated the strength of their opponent in the away game against Leverkusen.
Leverkusen passed from the bottom, Kisling jumped high and hit the header!
At the start of the match, Hoffenheim was one goal behind!
Then, Leverkusen took the initiative to lower his posture and chose to stabilize his defense.
The Hoffenheim players were unwilling to fall behind and could not help but press forward to attack.
But their next shots were all deflected by the young goalkeeper, Rene Adler.
"Hoffenheim is organizing in the midfield…Eduardo, Gustavo, Lin Xuan, a beautiful straight pass! Ibi?evi? catches the ball in the penalty area!"
"Beautiful…Woooooo! Adler flew to save the ball and blocked the tricky shot from the end line. It was a corner kick!”
"This save was too wonderful. Ibi?evi?, who was attacking the goal, looked incredulous!”
"Salihovic takes a corner kick! The center back Nielsson headed the ball…and the ball was firmly held by Adler!”
"…Hoffenheim has made a comeback. Lin Xuan used an imaginative pass to connect with Dengba!”
"Aiya! Adler quickly fell to the ground and dodged Deng Baba's cold shot!”
"Today's Germany national team, Adler, is in a fiery state!”
Lin Xuan also had a headache. Sometimes, he was not afraid of the opponent's defender being steady, but he was afraid that the opponent's goalkeeper would suddenly use a cheat and block from high to low to resolve the inevitable goal.
That was why a good goalkeeper could match up to half a team.
"Hey, Sajid! Give me an empty pass later."
Taking advantage of the dead ball, Lin Xuan quietly discussed with Captain Salihovic.
"Alright, we can try!"
Salihovich's eyes lit up.
He knew that Lin Xuan had the ability to shoot hard. When the team's conventional methods could not open the situation, perhaps a long shot was a good method.
Two minutes later, Hoffenheim organized another attack.
The two full-backs, Beck and Ibbetzberg, pressed forward to assist, pulling the opponent's formation wider and opening up a gap in the middle.
Eduardo and Dembemba swapped positions to feign an attack on the right flank, pretended to go down, and suddenly passed it back to Salihovich!
Sullihovich didn't stop and directly passed the ball to the middle lane!
"…Salihovich, Lin!" A long shot!
Lin Xuan fiercely raised his thigh to receive the ball with a fierce kick, and the football went straight to the goal!
However, this time, the Tiger Style did not score. Adler stopped on the trajectory of the football and held the ball firmly!
“Damn! The power of this ball is f * cking great!"
Adler was not prepared for the strength of the ball. The football hit his chest, and he suddenly blacked out!
Adler took two steps back before he stood firmly and hugged the football!
At this moment, he had already stepped into the goal line with one foot and used all his strength to stop the football outside the goal line!
If Lin Xuan's strength had been a little stronger, he might have been able to blast Adler into the goal with the ball!
Lin Xuan and Adler looked at each other, and their expressions turned solemn at the same time!
Adler: Is this man a demon? Was he trying to kill someone with such force? It was unbelievable!
Lin Xuan thought,[This person's prediction and positioning skills are really good. Looks like I have to play even more craftily!]
Following that, Hoffenheim tried two more attacks, but still could not break through the opponent's goal.
At the 40th minute of the game, the full-back Beck came up to assist and planned to use the wall to cooperate with the bottom breakthrough.
However, this attack was seen through by Leverkusen. The pass was intercepted and Leverkusen counterattacked!
Schneider sent a long pass to Kislyn in the front field!
The tall lone striker took the ball and leaned against the defender. He used a beautiful turn to get rid of it and formed a single blade!
Kiesling calmly pushed into the net! Leverkusen led 2:0 in the first half!
During the
halftime interval, the atmosphere in Hoffenheim's locker room was rather dull. It was no longer as relaxed and happy as before.
They still looked down on the Bundesliga and looked down on the other teams.
If they lost this tough battle, it would be a big blow to the team's morale. In the future, when they faced strong teams, they might lose their previous indomitable momentum!
Lanik did not get angry, but the players were still afraid of the academic-style coach.
He pushed up his glasses and said with a serious expression,"It seems that you didn't listen to what I said before the match. You should have learned your lesson now, right?"
"Do you think that Leverkusen's defensive line is as easy to break through as a German B team?”
"Ridiculous!"
"Your impetuous mentality is reflected in your handling of the ball. How many good opportunities did you waste in the first half? The occasional threats were all Lin's doing!”
"It's not terrible to be behind by two goals. In the second half, I hope to see that you are really ready to face the Bundesliga!”
"Also, Lin. You don't have to worry too much about the tactical arrangements. Just improvise in the second half.”
According to Lanik's tactical arrangements, the players needed to reduce the time they spent holding the ball to avoid being intercepted by offers. It was best to pass the ball more and use the running position and passing to tear open the gap.
However, the defensive formation of Leverkusen was very flexible. They were not afraid of Hoffenheim pulling the position. Hoffenheim was not Barcelona and did not have the ability.
In that case, Ranick hoped that Lin Xuan would get more balls in the second half and make full use of his personal ability to break through and disrupt the opponent's steel defense.
In the
second half, when Lin Xuan walked out of the players 'tunnel, the director also gave him a close-up.
The commentator sighed.
