"Fang Jue was very angry. He was complaining to the fourth official that he believed that Papadopoulos had knocked down Mane, which should be a penalty kick."

"Slow motion shows that the corner kick is still relatively accurate."

"Sendros appeared in the penalty area of ​​Leverkusen, and this Swiss veteran's header ability is quite good..."

The referee's whistle blew, and De Bruyne drove the corner kick out and looked directly over Sendros' head.

"Sendros! Head-off-Papadopoulos! Standing near the post, Papadopolos blocked Sendros' header on the goal line! Leverkusen escaped... Gooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaal!"

After the football was blocked by Papadopoulos at the goal line, Castro pushed the football outward.

Modric gave the football to Pogba.

The French young player volleyed in the air towards the football.

The football drew a beautiful arc and crossed the person in the penalty area and slapped straight into the upper left corner of the goal.

"The ball has entered! A super world wave!"

"Pogba! He scored a long shot outside the penalty area."

"Beautiful long shot, Modric assisted Pogba to score a long shot, two-to-one! Aston Villa surpassed the score again before the end of the first half."

"Aston Villa's offense has been effective, two to one, they are ahead of Leverkusen again and have scored two away goals at the same time."

...

When he saw Pogba hit a beautiful banana ball and the football was directly on the goal, Fang Jue raised his arms and cheered on the sidelines.

The same celebration moves as him were also the many players on Aston Villa’s bench.

This goal came at a very time. It was a two completely different mentality, and it had a huge impact on the players' confidence in winning this game.

Aston Villa is celebrating the goal.

Leverkusen head coach Schmidt let out his hands helplessly.

The goal was lost as the first half was approaching the end of the game. This loss point was really hurting morale.

Schmidt was very angry, not only angry, but more helpless.

What can he say when such a world wave is losing the ball? Can he blame a certain player?

Such a goal is simply unpredictable.

If we have to find out what is not good enough in the process of conceding the ball, it is that there is no player in Leverkusen who can block Pogba's shot at the first time, or to be precise, Pogba should not be given the opportunity to complete the shot without defense.

Finally, at the end of the first half, Aston Villa temporarily led Leverkusen 2-1 away at Bayer Athletic Stadium.

During the halftime break, Fang Jue praised the players for their outstanding performance in the first half.

He particularly praised Paul Pogba.

The young French player who received the praise was very happy.

Compared with the laughter and joy of the locker room where Aston Villa is located, the atmosphere in the locker room of the home team Leverkusen is a bit solemn.

To be honest, Leverkusen is not bad today.

Facing the only European football team that has maintained a complete victory in all competitions this season, they were able to tie the score one-to-one when they fell behind zero to one in the first half, which is a pretty good performance:

Even if he concedes the goal again in the last stage of the first half and falls behind one to two, such a half-time score and performance can be said to be quite good.

However, because of this, knowing that our side played well and doing a lot of effort, he was still behind in the half and was scored by his opponent two away goals.

This will have a negative psychological effect on the players:

Ours did our best to do it, but we were still behind at halftime - Aston Villa is too strong and can't win at all.

Although Schmidt cheered the players and encouraged them during the break.

However, even Schmidt himself was not sure about the specific effect.

But there is one thing Schmidt is very clear about. He must not concede the ball in the second half. Once Aston Villa seizes the opportunity to score the third goal and rewrites the score to three-to-one, then it will be difficult for Leverkusen to make a difference in today's game.

...

Everyone says that what you worry about comes from.

The second half had just begun five minutes.

Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno made a low-level mistake. Facing Aston Villa's oppressive press, Leno was a little panicked and kicked the ball directly, but kicked the ball directly to Aston Villa's left defender Milner, who immediately passed the ball with a long pass to Sanchez in front.

The Chilean dribbled the ball into the penalty area, attracting the attention of Leverkusen's defensive players, and chose to pass the ball across the goal.

Lewandowski fell to the ground in front of the goal and shoveled the ball into the net.

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooool!”

"Lewandowski, Rowandowski, Robert Lewandowski, three-to-one, Aston Villa expands the lead to two goals."

"Leverkusen's goalkeeper Leno has an unshirkable responsibility for this goal conceding. He kicked the football directly to Aston Villa's player Milner."

"The speed of Aston Villa's counterattack can also be fully seen from this goal process, and Leverkusen has no time to organize the defense line."

Aston Villa is celebrating the goal excitedly.

On the other side, the Leverkusen people were stunned.

When one to two, they can still retain a trace of hope of equalizing the score or even turning the tables.

However, now from one to three, it can be said that it is a bit psychologically chaotic, and some players' fighting spirit and confidence will gradually be lost.

Especially when this goal is inseparable from the mistakes of the goalkeeper, the impact will be even worse.

When the team needs goals the most and encouragement the most, this low-level mistake from the goalkeeper directly gave the opponent a goal, allowing Aston Villa to expand the lead to two goals, which is a huge morale blow to the team.

Leverkusen head coach Schmidt was furious first on the sidelines, and then helpless.

No one expected that the goalkeeper would make such a basic mistake. To a certain extent, this low-level mistake basically "destroyed" Leverkusen's hope of turning the tables.

...

"One to three! Leverkusen is difficult to turn the game back." Leinker said, "Leno's mistake is fatal, and it has a huge blow to the team's morale. Leverkusen's players are a little depressed."

Schmidt no longer expects his goal to equalize the score. His goal has become to make a goal ahead, narrow the gap as much as possible, and at the same time, defend well and don’t concede the ball again.
