December 19, 2020, 9:29 PM
The reigning champion of Germany in the match of the thirteenth day of the German Bundesliga was forced to go to Leverkusen, where the leader of the national championship was ready to offer him a worthy resistance, starting next weekend – Bayer.
For the first time in a long time, the owners of this sports facility welcomed one of the greats of European football to the BayArena field, ahead of him in terms of points scored. After winning the UEFA Champions League Cup and the European Super Cup, Hans-Dieter Flick’s team began the expected functional decline, but, unlike most of the best teams in this “pandemic” season, “Red Car “He showed relatively regular points, therefore he lagged behind. the situational leader sounded loud in words alone.
But Bayer was really good at the start of the new football year. Peter Bosch’s side outperformed its rivals in the UEFA Europa League group stage and also managed to avoid losses in the domestic arena in 12 games played before the start of the reporting period, the only team to achieve such an achievement in the Bundesliga.
The Munich team had serious problems from the beginning of the important duel. Bayern were deprived of the ball, so they looked confused in the confrontation with their rivals’ fast players. Bayer quickly managed to establish an advantage in the opponent’s half, attacking mainly on the wings. And it was precisely this tactic that led to the success of Bsha’s team by winning a corner in the 14th minute, whose play ended with a push from the right flank of Amiri with a final blow from the front edge of the area by Patrick Schick at the corner free right. Even the best goalkeeper in the world in 2020 was forced to simply watch this “chic” goal.
Hans-Dieter Flick’s team, apparently, in recent matches does not enter the game without a special invitation from opponents. Bayern were heavily involved in the fight only after a missed goal, but after a few minutes they were forced to part ways with one of their fighters – another accidental contact injury with an opponent received the “crystal” from Kingles Coman. He was replaced by Leroy Sane, but the German failed to play the entire remaining time, a reverse replacement due to injury in the 69th minute.
Bayer’s problem in the reporting game was that Bosch’s team managed to simply play luxuriously throughout the first half, but it started flowing just before they went into halftime. A blatant import from Thapsob in the form of an inaccurate midfield pass turned into a counterattack, which was completed with a Muller serve from the right flank. Hradecki, instead of a silent interception, decided to crash into Ta at the start, and the lone Lewandowski at the far post and could not expect such a gift, but did not miss his chance to score another goal.
Bayern were difficult to slow down after intermediate success late in the first half, so the pressure only increased further. In the second half, somehow an equal fight on both sides didn’t work out, because Leverkusen couldn’t show himself from his best side in the game on the other side of the field. Instead, the rivals organized several more dangerous forays into other people’s possessions, and their combined efforts allowed them to count on a goal scored.
In the course of the second half, Josua Kimmich appeared on the field, for the first time after a serious injury in the game against Borussia Dortmund (3: 2), and it was the German who made the result. Another import from the host defense – Ta did not face the ball on the right flank of the defense – turned into an assist pass to the left flank of the penalty area for Lewandowski, who then shot under the crossbar, and Gradecki managed to recover. Tapsob’s rebound. Bayern won again in the last game of the calendar of the year, as in all previous games, starting in 19840.
In the next round, Bayer Leverkusen will play in Frankfurt am Main against Eintracht, and Bayern Munich will have a home game against Mainz, but both games will be waiting for us in the new year 2021.
