On BayArena.
All the Leverkusen fans neatly sang their team song.
In the opening minute, Leverkusen almost broke through FC Schalke 04's goal.
Neuer was roaring wildly in front of the goal.
Apparently, the Schalke goalkeeper was quite annoyed that Leverkusen had just grabbed the first point so easily.
Maybe Neuer's angry growl worked.
In the following corner kick, Metzelder pressed Derdiyok to put the ball out of the box.
FC Schalke 04 had a chance to counterattack.
Before Su could get the ball, Baby Baumann was fouled by Ballack, leaving him on the spot with the ball.
Although the referee blew the whistle, the referee didn't even pull out a card against the experienced Ballack.
Su walked over and pulled up Baby Baumann.
Su is using the Perfect Partner card on Hao in this match.
After all, Gaffer has said that he wants offense and he wants to win.
And Leverkusen's offense wasn't as sharp as Bayern's before, the defense was enough with the duo of Baby Baumann and Peer Kluge.
“Decisive foul by Ballack!”
“Leverkusen seems to have clear tactics!”
“Just don't give Su any chance to touch the ball!”
The game also set the tone from this moment on.
As long as Su carried the ball across the half-court, it was bound to be a three-man Leverkusen pack.
Fourth minute of the match.
Su had just passed Midfield with the ball, and hadn't even organized his attack yet.
Junior Toni Kroos stepped up to take the ball, although the ball was taken from the front, the referee still blew the whistle for a stoppage in play.
Hao and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar on the left had no choice but to retreat.
The Leverkusen fans applauded Toni Kroos for his decisive tackle.
When play resumed, Su gave the ball to Baby Baumann on his side.
The ball would have been a transition.
Baby Baumann would have gotten the ball back to Su as quickly as usual.
However, Leverkusen was on Su.
Especially between him and Baby Baumann.
Baby Baumann had no choice but to take a few steps before handing the ball over to Klaas - Jan Huntelaar, who had retreated to his left.
Klaas - Jan Huntelaar received the ball and, faced with a crowded defense behind him, could only put the ball back into the back of the net with a big kick.
FC Schalke 04's attack came to an abrupt end!
After that, FC Schalke 04 tried several times, but each time, their attacks ended without a trace.
Gradually, almost everyone, including Magath on the sidelines, saw an unbelievable scene.
FC Schalke 04, who had been attacking sharply for a while, looked like a different team.
Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
They couldn't attack anymore.
It was like a child who had no idea what to do.
Leverkusen, on the contrary, seized the opportunity and played a few sharp side-to-side combinations.
If it wasn't for Neuer's high tackle, FC Schalke 04 would have conceded a goal.
Magath on the sidelines is getting a bit anxious.
Standing on the sidelines, Magath started shouting and directing his players.
However, it was obvious that his instructions were of no use to FC Schalke 04.
Twenty-third minute of the match.
After Su was squeezed to the ground for the third time by Ballack using his body.
Magath was finally unable to control his temper.
This targeting made him resist protesting to The fourth official.
So many very obvious fouls and the referee froze and didn't issue a yellow card until now.
After being pulled up by Baby Baumann, Su also whispered something to Baby Baumann.
And so!
Amidst the frantic chants of countless Leverkusen fans.
A bizarre scene appeared.
Su pulled back!
He actually let Baby Baumann stand on the penalty spot, and then walked over to Baby Baumann's position himself!
Switching positions?
Backpedaling into the DEFENSE midfielder's position?
The sudden switching of positions left Heynckes, who had been all smiles on the other side, a bit stunned!
What's going on with this guy?
Backing up to the defensive midfielder position?
Letting that clumsy Baumann be the attacking midfielder?
What kind of funny tactic is that?
“Beep!”
The referee whistled.
Without a moment's hesitation, Baby Baumann, who was standing in front of the ball, started directly and kicked hard towards the soccer ball in front of him.
Just when everyone had their eyes on the attacking third, they realized that Baumann had actually knocked the ball back.
The position of the knockback is exactly behind him, Su.
At the same time, Baumann himself directly toward the front of the rush!
Su receives the ball and takes it in his stride!
This time!
Leverkusen's side is having a bit of a hard time.
Before the game, Heynckes had at least three ways to pin Su down, but none of them were like this!
That Baumann guy's got a long shot.
Letting it go, obviously, won't work.
But if you pull out the troops, then the punt on Su will be ineffective!
We can't afford to hesitate.
Toni Kroos and right wing - half Vidal are heading straight for Su.
At least they would stop Su first.
Facing Vidal, who was the first to rush in front of him.
Su didn't panic for a second, he quickly turned his body sideways and made a pass in the direction of Klaas - Jan Huntelaar on his left.
Vidal immediately stretched out his right leg to intercept it.
But just as he did, Su twisted his weight back and wrapped his left foot around the soccer ball, shaking it to Vidal's left.
The young Vidal was quick to react, and he turned just as sharply to pounce back to his left.
Only, Su's show was just beginning.
Su, who already had the ball in his possession at 85, made another easy move the moment Vidal re-pounced.
Left foot stomped on the turf, sideways with his right foot to pull the ball to the left again, and then in the process, he used his left foot to point the ball again.
A left and a right, a sharp change of direction.
In an instant!
Su then wiped past Vidal in front of him.
No time to catch his breath.
Toni Kroos is also in front of him.
With a soft feel for the ball, Su faced Toni Kroos and made another move.
Stretching out his right foot he brushed the soccer ball as if he were playing a violin.
The soccer ball under Su's foot obediently rolled onto the surface of Su's foot.
Not waiting for the dumbfounded Toni Kroos to react.
Su's right foot suddenly launched forward, and the soccer ball on the surface of his foot violently scrambled to the front.
This scramble directly crossed over Toni Kroos.
“Beautiful!!!”
“This beat an opponent is too beautiful!”
“Between the rolls, Su directly wiped past two Leverkusen's big players!”
“An absolute work of art!”
“Su is like an elf dancing on the pitch!”
After passing Kroos, Su had a clear path in front of him.
Ballack was defending against Baby Baumann, who also stepped in on the right, and couldn't come over in time for the tackle!
Su continues to charge with the ball.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar on the left slashes straight down the center.
Hao is on his way to the right.
Leverkusen's backline is panicking!
Likewise, the Leverkusen fans on the pitch, who were shouting and cheering for the home team, also panicked.
Not only did he control the ball at 85, but Su, who had been training hard for a while, had also increased his speed to 83!
In the blink of an eye, Su rushed to the top of the box with the ball.
There was no way.
Leverkusen center-back Hyypi?, who had been defending Raul in the middle of the field, had no choice but to rush out of the box to defend Su.
But Su was waiting for him.
In an instant, a red pass route appeared in front of Su.
There was no hesitation!
Su pushed the soccer ball with the arch of his left foot.
Klaas - Jan Huntelaar, who was dipping in and out of the box, shrugged off his right back Schwab and, without stopping, fired a shot towards the top left corner of the goal!
The ball went into the net like a cannonball!
The referee let out a whistle and pointed his right hand towards Midfield to signal the goal!
“Beautiful!!!”
“Goal!!!”
“Klaas - Jan Huntelaar!”
“No waste of an assist from Su!”
“1:0!!!”
“Perfect break through the middle!”
“Su breaks the deadlock with an assist to Klaas - Jan Huntelaar after getting past Leverkusen junior Toni Kroos with a fantastic beat an opponent move!”
