Chapter 104 A Fragmented Game

The game continues.

Calhanoglu led Leverkusen in a fierce offensive!

Nine players from the Cologne team guarded the penalty area, hitting the snake at its weakest point.

From time to time, a tall and strong player would rush out from the back line to harass Calhanoglu. Relying on his physical advantage, he ravaged Calhanoglu in various ways, and the scale of the violation was very well controlled, and no fouls were caused.

Kramer and Bender were worried about the defense in the backcourt, and they couldn't protect Calhanoglu all the time.

This formed a vicious circle.

The midfield was out of touch.

Leverkusen had the advantage but couldn't score!

"It's just possession, but it can't be converted into threatening offense!"

"After Cologne took the lead, it became easier and easier to play. Their tactics are simple and practical."

"Leverkusen needs to make adjustments."

On the side of the court.

Old man Top sat back in the coaching seat, his expression didn't change much.

Dino and his colleagues in the coaching staff were immersed in discussion.

Although Calhanoglu's weakness is well known in the Bundesliga, if Leverkusen can use him well, it can still ease the pressure of multi-line operations.

On the other side.

Cologne coach-Stogel did not relax.

He kept directing the players' defensive positions.

The record can be bad!

The derby cannot be lost!

As the game time passed.

Leverkusen was unable to control the middle!

Calhanoglu was repeatedly intercepted by Osako Yuya!

The war gradually burned back from the Cologne penalty area to the vicinity of the center circle.

The psychological state of Cologne players has undergone subtle changes:

If you foul near the penalty area and let the opponent get a free kick, you will suffer a lot.

If you foul near the center circle, there will be no pressure.

You can take the yellow card, but you can't let the mortal enemy go!

The real North Rhine Derby!

It officially started!

Tens of thousands of Cologne fans sang the team song in unison!

The joy of leading by one goal will not fade away easily.

Many of them brought ship flares and smoke bombs!

They can turn the RheinEnergie Stadium into a pyrotechnic purgatory at any time!

Yeah.

The extreme degree of some Cologne fans is well known to the Borussia Mönchengladbach club bus.

Whenever there is a dead ball, they will not forget to provoke the weak Leverkusen fans.

The crazy emotions gradually spread to the players on the field!

The 15th minute of the game.

Calhanoglu received a pass from his teammate in the 40-meter area and prepared to advance from the middle.

A sudden fierce flying tackle!

He was knocked down!

The "perpetrator" is Modeste!

A new black French player wants to be supported by fans in Cologne. He not only relies on scoring goals, but also needs to show "blood" and "fighting" in the derby!

Beep!

The referee took out the first yellow card of the game at Modeste!

In the stands, Cologne fans suddenly burst into a wave of boos!

"This yellow card was timely, the penalty was decisive and firm! It made the players on both sides stop protesting!"

"Calhanoglu climbed up with a painful expression. He caused a tragedy against Cologne last season!"

"It's different now. The current Cologne lineup has undergone a major change! It has the capital to challenge Leverkusen!"

"There is a little bit of derby atmosphere!"

The game continues.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The score did not change.

The players on both sides made more and more moves.

Kisling, Son Heung-min, Kramer and other main players were fouled one after another.

Of course, as the core of Leverkusen on the field, Calhanoglu was the most severely damaged.

The 40th minute.

Nagazawa Kazuki sent a long pass for counterattack!

The football fell into Leverkusen's backcourt again!

Modeste jumped high and was about to pass the ball to Osako Yuya who was in a better position!

Bang!

A fierce fight was heard from the close-up sound equipment!

Bender won the header!

The football was bounced out of bounds!

The Leverkusen captain's elbow hit the Cologne striker's cheek!

Beep!

The referee raised the yellow card while running!

"This yellow card is not controversial!"

"A good referee will master the balance of the game."

"Huh?"

Amidst the boos.

Cologne captain Hector angrily rushed to the scene and pushed Bender hard.

He is a typical grassroots player in Germany.

He grew up in a small border town and was still playing in the community league at the age of 22. He repeatedly hit a wall in his trials for many German second division clubs. It was Cologne that gave him the opportunity.

RheinEnergy Stadium was in chaos!

The captains of each team clashed.

The players on both sides did not stand there in a daze. They rushed forward and pushed each other!

In the stands, Cologne fans and Leverkusen fans also started a war of words, mixed with various North Rhine dialect cultures.

At the edge of the court.

Old man Top couldn't sit still anymore, so he led Dino to the fourth official and complained like crazy!

Stogel was not a pure-blooded Cologne native, and he had not coached the club for a long time, but in order to pretend, he had to grab the nearest linesman to protest.

Çalhanoğlu walked a few steps slower, and was hit hard from behind by someone, and fell to the ground.

The sweet smell of grass came from his mouth.

The King of Çalhanoğlu's eyes were slightly red.

Didn't I just score five goals against you last season?

Didn't I just post a photo of eating lamb chops on my social account after the game?

Why target me like this?

The sound is like the night wind, and the heartbreak is very pleasant to hear.

No!

I have to cheer up, there is no difficulty that I can't get through!

There is also the Champions League! Arsenal! I, Çalhanoğlu, will conquer the Emirates Stadium and shine in Europe!

Those who can't beat me!

Will eventually make me stronger!

Leverkusen bench.

Brandt led a group of substitute teammates to scold people on the sidelines.

Havertz said with a worried expression: "Li, it's a good thing the coach didn't let you start. Otherwise, I'm worried that the Cologne players can't take your punch."

Li Kang: "."

Clap clap

The awning of the bench suddenly made a violent and rapid collision sound!

The two looked up.

It was some extreme Cologne fans who were throwing debris!

Lighters, mineral water bottles, bananas, nail clippers, slippers, etc., bombarded Leverkusen's bench like raindrops!

Brandt and others hurriedly hid back in their seats, and scolded the Cologne fans through the transparent glass awning.

Europe has very strict quality standards for the awnings on the bench, and almost no bulletproof function is required.

The cause is a very sad thing:

In February 2009, during the match of Atletico Madrid's youth team, the glass awning of the bench broke and collapsed, hitting the head of 9-year-old player Ribeiro heavily, and eventually he was seriously injured.

A moment later.

As the chaos on the green field subsided.

The fans in the stands also quieted down.

The game resumed.

The movements between the players on both sides were smaller. But the hostility did not ease.

From time to time, someone fell to the ground.

The scene fell into dullness.

The game became fragmented.

When the first half ended.

The referee team was relieved.

Dino was worried: "Boss, do we really want to send Li to the field? The fans and players of Cologne are too barbaric! They are not the soft eggs of Barcelona or South Korea!"

Old man Top picked up the beer can on the ground, thinking.

Slowly said:

"Veltins beer? The biggest advantage of the Bundesliga is that there is no prohibition on alcohol!"

"Did you see that? Cologne fans are also drinking beer endorsed by Lee! North Rhine's attitude towards the European war is very consistent!"

"They are sensible and will not make any more extreme actions. The game will return to its essence"

Bang!

Another empty beer can hit Top's head!
