Chapter 264 The Rhythm of the Goal Battle (One Hundred and Twenty-Four/One Hundred and Seventy-Three) Chapter 6
Chapter 264 The rhythm of the goal battle
Wolfsburg's offense wasn't very creative.
After Costner adjusted, their offense was mainly based on both sides of the ball to find Dzeko.
However, for Luton, they are actually not good at defending such a rigid attacking method.
This is mainly because Dzeko's personal ability is too strong, and he is very precise in the control of the high-altitude ball landing point! This makes Luton very difficult to defend!
In the 29th minute of the game, Misimovic shot a cold arrow on the outside, the football was saved by Schmeichel, Wolfsburg got a corner kick, and then Misimovic took the corner kick again. The bottom line was drawn by Schmeichel, and Wolfsburg took consecutive corner kicks!
The corner kick this time created chaos in the penalty area. In the chaos, the football was stabbed out of the scenic area by Kante, and then Gentner volleyed the ball high!
"After scoring the own goal, Wolfsburg gradually took the initiative to attack on the field. Of course, this is also related to Luton's own initiative to recover, but due to Dzeko's dominance in the penalty area, Luton is now defending It was very difficult to get up!" Letkinson said.
"Now Wolfsburg's offense is slowly becoming more and more threatening. In the face of the continuous pilling on both sides of Wolfsburg, Luton must find a way to contain it!"
Gao Bo also saw the problem.
Wolfsburg's defense did not press out, they also gave up the midfield, but directly attacked through long balls from both sides or the backcourt.
Although such an attack method is simple, who let them have a Dzeko?
In the 33rd minute of the game, Dzeko nodded the ball from the back of the penalty area and headed the ball back to the middle. Grafitt shot near the ball point. After the ball bounced, it flew to the goal and was saved by Schmeichel!
Then came Wolfsburg's corner kick.
Dzeko became the focus of Luton's defense, but this time Misimovic did not look for Dzeko's head, this time Dzeko was a feint!
And Wolfsburg's real main attacker is Barzagli, who is in ambush at the back!
The Italian central defender bypassed Vardy, who was defending at the back point, and then jumped high and headed the goal!
The football flew straight to the goal, this time Schmeichel had nothing to do!
Barzagli, who scored an own goal before, used a corner kick to help Wolfsburg equalize the score!
"Beautiful!!! Barzagli!!!!"
"Wolfsburg equalised!! Barzagli!!!!"
The German commentator jumped up from the commentary seat!
The fans of the Volkswagen Arena jumped with it! !
Under the shadow of the stadium lights, the cheers of the fans poured out from the public arena like lava! !
Barzagli was very excited after the goal! Barzagli clenched his fists and punched the sky fiercely!
The own goal left Barzagli's team in the torment of self-blame, and now all the pressure has been released when he headed the ball into Luton's goal!
Costner also raised his hands and cheered on the sidelines!
His strategy is correct, Wolfsburg is best at attacking, Dzeko and Misimovic are capable enough to score goals for all teams in the world!
Costner looked at Gao Bo with a dignified face not far away with some pride. At least from this attack and defense, he had the upper hand!
Gao Bo secretly shook his head when he saw the football cup opponent headed the goal.
Although the score is only equalized now, and if he wants to defend, Gao Bo can also send George Parker to defend the opponent's high-altitude ball. After all, Dzeko can't be one against three!
But if you want to hold it completely, it will be very difficult in the opponent's home court.
Gao Bo once again looked at Wolfsburg's back line.
It seems that this game is still to pay attention to the opponent's defense!
"Attack!! We take the initiative to attack!!! The midfield and frontcourt press up to press them from a high position!!"
While the Wolfsburg players were celebrating,
Gao Bo called Kevin Keene over.
"They don't play midfield now, they play long balls directly, boss!"
Kevin Keane is a little weird!
"It's okay!!!" Gao Bo grinned! !
"We are fighting against them!!!!"
Kevin Keane nodded sharply, then turned and returned to the court!
"Attack!! Let's attack!!!!"
Kevin Keane says to the players! !
Soon, Costner noticed the change in Luton!
After the game resumed, Luton immediately launched the offensive!
Kevin Keane volleyed hard after receiving a pass from Griezmann at the front of the penalty area, the ball was over the bar!
Then Luton's players did not retreat, but put on a high pressing posture!
"After the score was equalized, Luton seems to have something to do on the offensive end!!"
Wolfsburg's goalkeeper Lentz also did not choose a short pass, but a direct long pass to the frontcourt!
Dzeko stops the ball on his chest, then moves the ball forward immediately after dividing the ball to the wing!
The simple center strikes the penalty area after receding to catch the ball and then attacking the penalty area. This kind of tactic is very powerful for a high center like Dzeko!
Misimovic's cross came into the penalty area, but this time Jeffrey did a good job. He headed the ball and pushed the ball out of the penalty area!
After Kante controlled the landing, Luton immediately launched an attack!
The two sides are coming and going, and the scene seems extremely open for a while!
In the 37th minute of the game, Griezmann took the ball to instigate the offensive, he advanced along the wing, and then a long pass was transferred to the left back Alex Sandro, who was on the other side of the open pocket!
Sandro hits the ball again!
Vardy in the middle kept up with the shovel shot, but under the interference of Barzagli, the ball missed the bottom line!
Then Wolfsburg's offense was not conservative. They immediately hit the ball to the front of the penalty area, and Misimovi picked the ball into the penalty area from the top of the penalty area!
Dzeko headed the ball to Grafit in the penalty area!
Kante's return defense was very timely, he grabbed the ball in front of Graffit and cleared the ball!
In the final stage of the first half, the two sides formed a confrontational situation for a time, and the rhythm of the game became very fast. Both sides continued to shoot goals. The game scene was very lively, which made the fans watching the game very enjoyable! !
"Griezmann shoots straight!!!!"
"The football went a little over the crossbar!!!"
"Dzeko took the ball and turned around in the penalty area!! Football Cup Schmeichel is under him!!"
The commentators have also been busy during this time, and the wonderful pictures on the field are overwhelmed!
It seems that both sides may score at any time, but in such a lively scene, although the two teams have frequent shooting opportunities, they both missed the goal!
Just when people thought the first half was going to end with a score of 2-2, Griezmann dribbled through the front of the penalty area and was tripped by Josue!
It was a free-kick at the front of the box, which made the Wolfsburg fans instantly nervous! !
"It's the 46th minute of the first half, two minutes of injury time in the first half, and Luton got a free kick in a very good position at the end!"
Letkinson's tone was very encouraging. The game was very fast-paced in the second half of the first half, which made Letkinson, who commented on the game, very enjoyable to watch.
Of course, he still supports Luton!
"This is a great opportunity!! Griezmann has to seize it!!"
Griezmann had already set the ball. Gao Bo had planned to go directly to the locker room, but when he walked to the door of the player tunnel, he heard the referee's whistle.
So he simply stood at the door of the player tunnel, ready to go back after watching this free kick.
Costner was so nervous that he kept rubbing the palm of his hand.
The score of 2-2 in the first half is already unfavorable to Wolfsburg. If the opponent scores another one at the end of the first half
What is Costner afraid of?
Just when he thought so, Griezmann shot directly after the run!
The football goes around the human wall and then flies into the net from a dead end!
Goalkeeper Lenz seems helpless! !
"Two to three!!!! Luton overtook the score again!!"
"Five goals in the first half! I'm afraid this game will eventually turn into a goal battle!!!"
Letkinson's excited voice came from the TV!
Luton fans raised their glasses and chanted for life! !
Gao Bo also rushed out of the player tunnel with his arms raised! !
At the last minute of the first half, Luton scored! !
What a surprise! !
"The situation is really bad for Wolfsburg, they could have gone into the second half with a draw, but Griezmann's free-kick at the front of the box thwarted them!"
The German commentator said a little disappointed.
The Wolfsburg fans in the stands stared blankly at the Luton players celebrating on the field, and some were still sitting in their seats, clasping their heads in their hands, looking very frustrated.
two to three
The first half of the game was full of twists and turns, leaving Wolfsburg fans with a constant thrill of ecstasy and sadness
And with this free kick, the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the first half of the game!
