Chapter 64

The 60th minute of the match.

Dahude looked up and noticed the gap on the left flank!

He decisively sent out a precise long pass.

The ball arced beautifully in midair.

It went behind Hilbert.

It fell at Hermann's feet.

Mönchengladbach's attacking front suddenly sped up!

Raphael provided support and cover.

Dermichi and Traoré quickly ran to the right flank, pulling in opposite directions.

Baum Johann charged like a tank, heavily bearing down on Leverkusen's central defense.

At Pulusigongyuanchang Stadium, the Mönchengladbach fans' momentum grew ever more mighty!

The team's field advantage made them momentarily forget the score!

"Leverkusen has been dangerous lately!"

"Changing coaches is like changing blades; Mönchengladbach under Coach Shuboting has shown a different spirit!"

Son Heung-min wanted to track back, but saw Tuopu Laotou's gesturing to stop him!

Leverkusen's head coach simultaneously gestured wildly at Li Kang: "Li! Slow down a bit! Slow down your defensive coordination a bit!"

Leverkusen's backfield.

Kramer's covering was always timely; he shouted a covering instruction at Hilbert, then threw himself out, sliding toward Hermann!

While running, Bender saw Li Kang's pointing direction, immediately slowed down, and used his positioning to cut off the connection between Hermann and Raphael.

"Leverkusen's back line is solid!"

"Hermann's breakthrough match at age 19 was against Leverkusen!"

Amid the hysterical cheers of the Mönchengladbach fans.

Hermann did not pass back.

No dazzling feints to confuse.

He simply shoved the ball forward, then leapt.

He just stepped over Kramer's sliding tackle!

And Hilbert?

While tracking back, he was taken down by Kramer's slide!

"Hermann tore open Leverkusen's left flank in the simplest way!"

"Dangerous!"

Hermann dribbled the ball to near the baseline.

Bender decisively pressed forward!

Mönchengladbach's wing genius displayed an extraordinarily flashy dribbling move:

Left foot inside flick!

Turn!

Right foot outside drag!

Accelerate!

Instantly shook off Leverkusen's captain.

The whole stadium erupted in applause!

Mönchengladbach's attacking space was forcibly torn open!

"In the past decade, the Bundesliga youth system has produced talents as numerous as stars!"

"Hermann! He alone ripped apart Leverkusen's left-side back line!"

"Is he going to cut inside?"

-【I've never seen this dribble before! It's simpler than the Marseille turn and the Love's Magic Ring, though not as flashy.】

-【Times have changed; flashy dribbling moves... mostly slow down the team's overall attacking rhythm.】

-【Bundesliga.... Only he and Robben can pull off this move!】

-【Being a starter for a Champions League powerhouse... who isn't gifted?】

-【I have no doubt now that the six-time losing Mönchengladbach can fight its way back into the Bundesliga top four!】

Everyone thought Hermann would cut inside.

Leverkusen's two centre-backs abandoned their compact defensive line!

Papadopoulos lunged crazily toward the Mönchengladbach midfield.

Hermann's figure came to a sudden stop.

He kicked the ball nonchalantly, sending in a cross.

The ball skimmed past the head of Lewokusen's central defender!

Straight into the penalty area!

「Oh no! 」

「Lewokusen's penalty area is empty! No target man! 」

Baum Johann leapt high!

Brandt, who had tracked back, was completely overwhelmed by the opponent's strong physique.

Thud!

The forehead slammed hard onto the spinning ball!

Goalkeeper Lai Nuo lunged forward in a dive!

The red gloves clenched into fists!

The ball was blocked out!

The whole stadium sighed!

It has to be a goal!

Just a bit more, and we could level the score!

Lai Nuo, you just pulled off a miraculous block!

Shubo Ting's face was grim.

He took off the green cap and clenched it into a ball.

Dino cried out in fear: "Boss, you didn't let Li drop back... we almost conceded a goal!"

Tuopu Laotou chuckled: "Don't worry, Boleshas has already sprinted near the goal line; Li's usefulness should be seen in the counterattack!"

Dino was momentarily speechless; he knew his coach was just Monday-morning quarterbacking, but couldn't retort!

The ball bounced into Lewokusen's half, into the thirty-meter zone.

Li Kang was as if he had turned on a vision cheat.

He stopped the ball in time.

Zaka, a step late, was again flattened by Lewokusen's number 10!

In this Lewokusen defensive phase, Li Kang served as a counterattack outlet!

Lewokusen's counterattack keeps coming!

Up front: Son Heung-min! Kießlin!

As the ball left Li Kang's left foot.

A ground‑long pass as sharp as a blade, Bei lai yin reappeared!!!

Mönchengladbach fans were stunned!

The livestream fans were also stunned!

Li Mingdeng, you won't lose the ball, will you?

Mönchengladbach's half was wide open.

Son Heung-min had already accelerated!

Young Christensen's turning speed was still slow.

He just saw a black shadow flash across the ground.

He looked up again.

He had already been left far behind by Lewokusen's forward!

Christensen couldn't catch up.

Let alone Yangjieke and Schulz, who were tangled with Kießlin!

Asia link!

A twenty‑eight‑meter ultra‑long through ball! It tore through Mönchengladbach's high defensive line!

Son Heung-min got the ball! So fast! Too fast!

The touch rhythm in his high‑speed charge! Perfect to the extreme!

Although Son Heung-min likes girl‑group members and enjoys exploring famous food streets in every city, he still insists on practicing 1,000 shots a day!

The precision of his touch at the moment of shooting is like a dust‑covered ancient sword.

Distance to the goal: twenty‑five yards.

Facing the oncoming Sommer.

Son Heung-min made a slight leg movement!

A flick with the outside of the foot!

The ball's spinning upward trajectory.

It made the Pulusigongyuanchang stadium erupt in gasps!

Sommer made a sideways leap!

He smothered the opponent's shot — a still‑unbent outside‑foot flick —!!!

The ball rolled out over the touchline.

Son Heung-min clutched his head, looking regretful.

He didn't forget to turn his head and give Li Kang a thumbs‑up.

Pulusigongyuanchang stadium rang with thunderous applause.

What kind of attack‑defense showdown is this!

Sommer!!! He's cheating again!

The breath‑taking attack‑defense rhythm! Judging by the fans' expressions, the tickets are totally worth it!

Dragon Kingdom livestream.

The barrage went crazy, filling the screen.

-【Sommer doesn't only cheat when playing Bayern, right? How come he's like this against Lewokusen too? My joy beans!】

-【Son Heung-min's one‑on‑one didn't score?】

-【Li Mingdeng's thirty‑meter through ball is so steady; I don't get it, he won't lose the ball, will he? (dog head for safety)】

-【On the other side, what's the score between Bayern Munich and Dortmund?】

By the field.

The head coaches of both sides were not shocked for long.

Shubo Ting took advantage of this dead-ball period, returned to the coach's bench, and began discussing with the assistant coaching staff.

Tuopu Laotou took the paper and pen Dino handed over, and began to write and draw.

The match was about to end.

The journeys of the two head coaches have just begun.
