Chapter 263 Lannick's Wrath

The fans of Hoffenheim are also in pain.Football is always flying around in Leverkusen's penalty area, and they have an absolute advantage in possession of the ball, but they can't score a goal anyway.What worried them even more was that Hoffenheim was pressing across the board, and the huge open space behind them made everyone feel guilty. They were afraid that the opponent would find the right opportunity and it would be a quick counterattack. Encore.

What reassures the fans is that Hoffenheim's players run very aggressively. Everyone is like a machine running at full power, covering the entire half. Conceded the ball and ended.

But God seems to be deliberately joking with Hoffenheim, not wanting to make Hoffenheim's championship road too smooth.In the last minute of the first half, there was another scene that left everyone dumbfounded.

Hoffenheim's attack failed, and Leverkusen goalkeeper Adler took the goal kick.His big long pass went directly to the penalty area, and he stayed in the frontcourt. Deldiyok stretched his legs and tried to stop the pass that was approaching the bottom line.However, he exhausted all his strength, but only scratched a little bit of the ball, and the football still flew towards the bottom line.

Surprisingly, although the slightly rubbed football suffered too little force, it still slowed down slightly, while Serna, who had just defended up, touched the ball by a strange coincidence.Then the football rolled off the line.

The referee awarded a corner kick.

Corner kicks are actually not a good opportunity to attack. After all, the scoring rate of corner kicks is much lower than that of inside cuts or free kicks.What's more, in the Hoffenheim penalty area where there are many people, the physical exertion is serious, and Leverkusen, who dare not send a large number of players to participate in the attack, can't take advantage of it at all.

But an accident happened.

Barnetta took a corner, allowing the only two Leverkusen players in the penalty area, Deldyjok and Kisling, to fight for the header.He didn't have high expectations for the ball at all, and because he was worried about Hoffenheim's quick counterattack, Leverkusen had no other players involved in this corner kick attack.He doesn't believe that the two forwards can find good scoring opportunities under the defense of multiple defensive players.

The unbelievable scene was staged again——

The football circled an arc in the air and quickly fell towards the back point.Kisling struggled to take off, but under the interference of Simunić, he actually fell to the top.Simunić was also stunned for a moment, unexpectedly the football went straight over Kisling's head, and then hit him directly on the head.Simunić instinctively shook his head to clear the football, but the ball was too fast and was caught off guard. The football hit his forehead and then flew towards the goal.

The football drew an obvious parabola in the air, and then fell lightly into the lower right corner of the goal under the dumbfounded eyes of everyone.

2:2!Leverkusen equalized the score again, but it was not they themselves who scored the goal, but the bewildered Simunić!
Seeing the football lying quietly in the net, Kisling, who was vying for the header, was stunned for a moment, and then an ecstatic expression filled his face instantly, shouting excitedly while hugging his teammates behind him.

Expressions of astonishment, pain, and bewilderment constantly alternated back and forth on Simunić's face. As a veteran of the Bundesliga for many years, in such an important game, he actually scored an own goal and committed an unforgivable mistake. Really shameless.This is likely to greatly affect the morale of the team, and it may even cause the efforts of teammates throughout the game to be wasted.Simunić lowered his head and sighed, covering his frustrated face with his hands and sitting on the grass.

The surrounding Hoffenheim players were also dumbfounded, and their disbelieving eyes kept shuttling back and forth between Simunić and the football in the net.This left all the players speechless.Once again, they were in a good situation to overtake the score, but they didn't expect another accident to turn their efforts in vain.

The first conceded goal can be said to be just a mistake. After all, no one can maintain a high-alert state for 10 minutes without making a single mistake, so everyone has high morale and firmly believes that they can gain the advantage again.In fact, this is also the case. Murphy's goal not only helped Hoffenheim to surpass the score again, but more importantly, it gave Hoffenheim players the belief that they must win.

But the second goal was a huge blow to Hoffenheim's belief.Comper's mistake can only be regarded as an indirect assist, but Simunić actually headed the ball into his own goal.No matter how many goals they score, the opponent can always catch up again with such a weird way of scoring.They tried their best to take the lead, but their opponent scored an easy goal to equalize. What's the point of continuing this game?They are not afraid of fighting Leverkusen, but fighting against God, can they beat it?

Is it true that God did not allow Hoffenheim to fulfill its wish?
All Hoffenheim players couldn't help but have such thoughts in their minds.This terrible thought quickly spread to every player's heart like a plague, and everyone was downcast like a frost-beaten eggplant, without any energy.Even Mo Fei was in a trance, but fortunately, his determination was strong enough, and it didn't show on his face, the dejected look only flashed by.

"Steady! Stabilize the defense in the backcourt, Luis, pay attention to protecting the backline! Tobias, recover a little, and help Luis sweep the midfield!" Lannick walked to the sidelines and loudly instructed the players on the field.

After the game restarted, Leverkusen, who scored consecutive unexpected goals, also picked up momentum.Although their original intention was to play a beautiful game, they never thought of taking away three points from here, but now... since God seems to be on their side, why should they refuse?After all, winning is always fun.

Leverkusen tried to invest more troops in the offense, but they were still afraid of Hoffenheim's quick counterattack. Only two forwards and midfielder Barnetta rushed to the frontcourt.But what surprised them was that Hoffenheim's defensive players were like wooden stakes, their movements were heavy and slow, and they were easily pushed 30 meters into the penalty area.

Gustavo stepped forward to defend, but it was more like a routine, and his movements were out of shape.Kisling, who took the ball, easily deceived his defense, and then passed the ball to Deldyyock on the edge of the penalty area with a through ball.Deldiyok didn't stop the ball and took a long shot directly. The football rubbed against the post and flew out of the baseline.

This scene made Lannick frown on the sidelines. He was very aware of the psychological changes of the players, but he was helpless.The players' previous performance was perfect, but the score was tied 2:2, which is indeed a hurtful thing.If the opponent scored two goals with their real skills, maybe Hoffenheim would not be so discouraged, or they would be forced to explode with stronger fighting spirit.But the goal arranged by God can only make everyone feel powerless.Not to mention the players, even Rangnick felt a sense of powerless frustration.

However, Rangnick has not made adjustments for the time being. On the one hand, it is because the players performed well and did what they should do well. Leverkusen's two goals have nothing to do with the players themselves. They can only be blamed on luck. not good.On the other hand, halftime is not over yet, which is a heavy blow to the player's psychology, and he cannot cast a shadow on the future of the boys.Moreover, maybe the act of changing personnel will shake the already shaky morale of the army even more.He decided to wait until halftime before doing anything else.

When Hoffenheim's backcourt pass made a mistake again, it was intercepted by the opponent's striker Kissling who had been cruising in the frontcourt, and after taking advantage of the opportunity to take a long shot, the referee finally blew the halftime whistle sound.

The Hoffenheim players let out a sigh of relief, and fled to the locker room as quickly as if they were amnesty.Their performance at the end of the first half can be described as terrible. Everyone seems to have no thoughts on the court, and their heads are blank, although the subconscious reminds them that they must work hard to win the game. Victory, but the actions of the body are completely out of the control of thinking, like a rootless wandering soul, which can only wander aimlessly on the field.If it weren't for Leverkusen's poor feet, maybe they are already behind at this moment.

With a gloomy face, Lannick hurried to the team locker room, pushed the door open and entered, but what he saw was a pair of gloomy faces. A word.What's more, he directly covered his head with a towel, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.Even Obasi and Serna, who have always been active, curled up in a corner of the bench, their entire faces filled with bewilderment.

Seeing such a situation, Lannick, who was not in a good mood at first, burst into anger in his heart.They can concede the ball and lose this game. After all, there are still many opportunities for the champion to fight for.But if they lose even the most basic self-confidence and fighting spirit, then they will have nothing!
"What are you doing! Is the sky falling! Get your fucking spirits up!" Rangnick slammed the table in front of him with furious eyes, and roared at every player.

The players seemed to be brought back to reality by the scream. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound. Seeing the head coach's furious look, they couldn't help but shudder, shrunk their necks, and lowered their heads again. .

Seeing the appearance of the crowd, Lannick became even angrier.He took two quick steps, grabbed Salihovic by the lapel of his shirt, stared at him, and shouted, "Seiyad, if you're a f*cking man, don't make a mournful expression like your dead parents! Shame on the blue!"

Salihovic's eyes lit up, and he braced himself to look at Lannik, but his eyes were obviously averted, and he gradually shrank back under Lannik's sharp eyes.

"Excuse me, sir..." Salihovich said in a voice like a mosquito.

"What's the use of being sorry! Set an example for me as the captain, or you won't have to play in the second half!" Lannick said in a low voice angrily.

Rangnick's words are a bit heavy. No matter how bad Salihovic's performance is, he is the captain of the team after all. This not only shows that he has great prestige among the players, but also shows that he is indispensable to the team. use.Rangnick's unmistakable "threat" is a blatant slap in the face of the opponent, which is likely to discredit Salihovic's prestige in the team.
