Transfermarkt staff: The latest fair market value of Bundesliga players will be announced within two weeks, and RB Leipzig's starting lineup will benefit significantly.

The Sun reports that Leipzig midfielder Gudmann donated 15 RMB each to Xinjiang and Taiwan earthquake disaster areas.

80 New Taiwan Dollars.

This is Mr. Goodman's second donation, over 30 RMB, for his social responsibility efforts!

Hao Ren is a real man; he's burdened with a mortgage but still donated to disaster relief. Brothers, that's a true role model.

I just checked, and both the earthquakes in Xinjiang and Taiwan were around magnitude 5. The damage shouldn't be too severe, right? Should we donate them?

[14-year-old mid-laner wants to play professionally: Mr. Goodman is very good at making money and can donate whenever he wants]

[6666, they actually found Hao Qiuwang! His high-intensity self-searching skills are truly impressive.]

Is Hao Ren worried about consecutive losses against Leverkusen and Bayern, so he's donating money now to prevent us from criticizing him later?

【6666】

9 month 12 day.

Leverkusen, Germany.

Today is a very important day for Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig fans.

Because the Bundesliga Round 4 match between Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig will kick off at noon today!

"A defeated opponent!"

"A defeated opponent!"

Leipzig fans who arrived early occupied part of the area outside the stadium and gave the middle finger towards the Leverkusen team bus.

It's worth noting that Bayer Leverkusen was eliminated by RB Leipzig in last season's German Cup!

"Call me your mother!"

"Stop yelling! Are league matches and cup competitions the same thing?!"

Soon the fans from both sides started arguing.

In the eyes of the home team's fans, last season's loss to Leipzig was purely a mistake.

If Bayer Leverkusen had taken cup competitions even slightly more seriously, Leipzig would have had no chance of being relegated!

With half an hour left before the start of the game, Hao Ren ate half a banana in the locker room.

"Yusuf, I have half a banana here, do you want it?"

"I've already eaten."

"Just eat one more. Having more quick carbs before the game is good for scoring goals. That's advice from someone who's been there."

Hao Ren said earnestly.

However, he did not insist. After Kimmich refused, he threw the remaining bananas into the trash can.

clap clap!

Hao Ren clapped his hands and turned his attention to the system.

[Mission Progress: Points (4/8) / Assists (2/3)]

Win this game!

And then, with another assist, they complete the mission.

Well, that's all he has to do today!

"China Central Television, China Central Television! Good evening, everyone!"

"This is a live broadcast for you —"

"Alright, the match begins! Now, let me introduce the starting lineups for both sides, starting with the home team, Bayer Leverkusen!"

Bayer Leverkusen (4-4-1-1)

Goalkeeper: Leno; Defenders: Hilbert, Jonathan Tah, Kyriakos, Wendell; Midfielders: Bellarabi, Kramer, Lars Bender, Brandt; Forwards: Çalhanoğlu, Kiessling; Coach: Schmidt. "Leverkusen, they finished fourth in the Bundesliga last season, while their opponents, RB Leipzig, were the 2. Bundesliga champions!"

"The two teams met last season, with Leipzig defeating Leverkusen at home. This was also their..."

"This is the first Bundesliga team we've ever beaten in our club's history."

"Of course, the situation for both sides has changed a lot this season, so last season's head-to-head record can only be used as a reference."

"Kramer, to Çalhanoğlu up there!"

"Çalhanoğlu is passing to Kieslán!"

"pretty!"

"No problem!"

Perhaps influenced by last season's defeat, Leverkusen played very aggressively from the start of today's match.

Of course, they are a team that excels at offense!

Kiessling performed a stepover at the edge of the penalty area, and Leipzig's defenders dared not advance rashly.

This also gave the opponent an opportunity to make a move.

After a series of dribbles, Kiessling passed the ball to Bellarabi.

Bottom line!

Bellarabi and Hilbert completed the handover of possession.

Snapped!

A cross from Hilbert!

Inside the penalty area, Kiessling!

"Look at him!"

Knowing he was being heavily marked, Kiessling jumped up and decisively headed the ball to his teammate.

Brandt has the ball!

Hey!

The moment Brandt raised his leg, Hao Ren fell to the ground decisively.

But Brandt stepped on the ball!

!!!

Hao Ren had guessed that Brandt's leg raise was a feint, but he didn't dare to take the risk.

Done!

Sitting on the grass, Hao Ren watched as Brandt passed the ball to Lars Bender.

This is a perfect gun-laying setup by Xi Jinping.

Lars Bender!

boom!

A shot was unleashed, the ball struck Gulacsić's arm, bounced on the grass, and then went into the goal.

"TOOORRRRR!!!!

"Goal!"

"Ras-Bender!"

Wow! Leverkusen's goal came incredibly fast!

"Yes, it's only the 5th minute of the first half!"

Lars Bender let out a roar, and then the Leverkusen players on the field quickly rushed in one direction, eventually gathering near the corner flag.

"Well done!"

Wow!!!

"Rasbender!"

Chaos erupted in the stands as the home team fans unleashed their pent-up emotions.

As the first Bundesliga team to be defeated by RB Leipzig last season, Bayer Leverkusen was subjected to countless taunts.

And today!

The pharmaceutical company that launched the decisive attack is back!

"Holy crap."

Hao Ren looked at Orban: "Weren't you behind me? I got faked out, so catch up!"

"I'm watching Kissling."

"I watched Keeslin!"

Compper shrugged.

The three people in the penalty area argued for a while, and quickly figured out why the goal had been scored.

Orban and Compper's defensive objectives overlapped!

There weren't many players in Leipzig's penalty area to begin with, and yet some of them were marking the same player.

Three ones added together equal 2!

"Leverkusen allez! (Come on, Bayer Leverkusen!)"

"Leverkusen allez!"

The game continues.

They took a one-goal lead shortly after the start, and the atmosphere at the stadium quickly reached its peak.

Although Bayer Leverkusen is known for its offensive prowess, they certainly played aggressively in today's match.

Could the rumors be true?

Bayer Leverkusen truly hates Leipzig!

"Open up! Open up! Don't give them a chance!"

Poulsen signaled to Kimmich to calm down.

Kimmich, alerted by his teammate, immediately distanced himself from Brentra.

Even if he gives the opponent a passing opportunity, he can't be one-on-one scored on!

Brandt also had his own ideas. Seeing Kimmich retreating, he decisively pushed the ball forward.

He wanted to take them a little further!

Leipzig disagreed, and Kimmich positioned himself to block Brandt's path forward.

Hao Ren, who was there to provide support, arrived.

"There's someone nearby!"

Brandt, alerted, chose to forcefully attack Kimmich's defense.

Kimmich held his position.

Brandt failed!

"Oh!"

Brandt tried to protect the ball, but Leipzig's support had already arrived.

Hao Ren pressed himself against Brandt from behind, rendering the latter unable to move.

At that moment, Kimmich stretched out his foot and gently poked the ball away.

Hao Ren immediately abandoned Brandt and turned around to control the ball.

Leipzig won the ball back!

"Left! Left!"

"Call them!"

Rangnick waved his hand, and Hao Ren immediately launched a long pass.

Snapped!

"A long pass from Leipzig, well, that long pass was probably over 50 meters."

""

"Watch where it lands—"

"Hao Ren's long pass was excellent!"

"Forsberg controls the ball!"

Forsberg's control of the ball wasn't great, but it wasn't a serious problem.

Leipzig quickly regained possession with this long pass!

Forsberry on the left wing started moving towards the sideline.

Cramer and Jonathan Tah attempted a double-team on Forsberg, but Werner's zigzag run fooled them, eliciting a "wow!!"

At the same time, it also created passing opportunities for teammates.

Forsberg passed the ball to Werner!

Werner failed to control the ball on his first touch!

!!!

Just as he was about to hand the ball over to someone else, Werner forcefully poked it with his toe.

However, the result remained the same; the only difference was that the recipient of the gift was changed to the goalkeeper.

Werner held his head in his hands.

The teammates on the field didn't perform much because they had to get back on defense.

But Rangnick, standing in front of the bench, was furious.

Timo's first touch was a complete disaster!

"The situation is not good—"

Rangnick slowly shook his head: "I might have to replace him."

Werner is a new signing, but Rangnick knows him quite well.

This German striker lacks composure; if he misses a golden opportunity in the first half, his performance in the second half could be a major problem!

"Then who should we switch to?"

"Almas asked."

Rangnick squinted and thought for a while.

Leipzig currently doesn't have a better center forward than Werner.

"Let's play with two strikers."

Live match report: Kimmich goes down near the penalty area, Leipzig gets a free kick.

Live report: Leipzig players protested against referee Sippel due to dissatisfaction with the ruling.

"He fell in the penalty area, why wasn't it a penalty?"

Dem stood in front of the referee.

Kramer came over and tried to pull Dem away, but Hao Ren stopped him.

"Referee, that should be a penalty."

Poulsen supports his teammate's opinion.

From the perspective of the Leipzig players, Kimmich did indeed fall in the penalty area.

Even the two commentators from CCTV expressed their support for Leipzig.

"Yes, although a direct free kick is not bad, it's still a big difference compared to a penalty kick."

"This should be a penalty, right? Kimmich was in the penalty area, but the ball's position was rather awkward."

The replay showed that Kimmich was in the penalty area with his back to the defender.

The ball was still outside the penalty area at that moment.

Kimmich tried to reach for the ball, but was pushed down by a defender as soon as he started moving.

Referee Sippel pointed at Kimmich: "Even if he hadn't been fouled, he wouldn't have been the first to get the ball. The home team's 6th..."

The number is closer to the ball.

"Depend on!"

The referee stuck to his decision, and the Leipzig players had no choice but to accept it.

29th minute of the first half.

Trailing by one goal, they were awarded a direct free kick in a good position.

"This ball can be played or passed, so it will be a test for both Leverkusen's wall and goalkeeper."

"In Leipzig, Kimmich is making preparations!"

Whoosh!

Beep beep beep!

The home fans were trying to distract Kimmich, who was frowning deeply.

It's clear that he's under a lot of pressure.

Just as he was searching for a passing route, Kimmich suddenly raised an eyebrow.

He saw Hao Ren and Paulsen gesturing to him from a distance.

These two guys————

Oh!

Kimmich and Hao Ren looked at each other and Kimmich gave a thumbs-up with his left hand.

He understood what his teammate meant!

"Whoosh!"

Snapped!

The Bayer Leverkusen wall in the penalty area leaped high.

However, Kimmich did not shoot; instead, he passed the ball to Poulsen, who ran out of the penalty area.

This is!?

Poulsen stomped the ball with his right foot and then flung it sharply to the back.

Bellarabi watched the ball roll past his feet.

He tried to sit down and stop them, but it was too late!

Hao Ren makes a forward run along the left edge of the penalty area!

Snapped!

Hao Ren took a shot, the ball rolled past the goalkeeper, and finally went into the bottom left corner.

Goal!

"Oh my god, Leipzig's free-kick tactic, haha!"

"It's a bit strange, but—"

"Hao Ren scores, Leipzig equalizes!"

Hao Ren, who scored the goal, was extremely excited. He rushed out of bounds due to inertia and stepped over the GG sign placed on the side of the field.

"roar!!!"

"Goodman!"

A teammate jumped up.

Hao Ren immediately grabbed Paulsen by the neck: "See that? See that?! It worked!"

"Ha ha!"

With a broad smile, Paulsen grabbed Hao Ren's head and slammed it against his own chest.

"How many goals has Gudman scored yet!?"

"3!"

"Holy crap, haha!"

Paulsen brought his mouth close to Hao Ren's ear.

"You son of a bitch!"

"What!?"

"Damn it, you're our team's top shooter now! What's going on?!"

Hao Ren extended his index finger towards the camera, then faced Captain Poulsen and punched his chest: "Just lie down."

"Goodman!"

'

Boom!

Good man!

'

Bang bang bang!

The time has reached the 35th minute.

The fans watching on television were generally quite surprised.

Because they discovered that Bayer Leverkusen, who had been so aggressive in the opening minutes, were now being suppressed!

Or rather—Leverkusen's advantage wasn't actually as great as they had seen a dozen minutes ago.

'

""

"Beep, whoosh!!"

The first half ended with the score tied at 1-1.

Both teams launched fierce attacks for a long time, but Werner and Kiessling both had poor shooting touch and failed to score another goal in the end.

"Actually, overall, Leverkusen played slightly better."

"But after Leipzig scored that free kick, Leverkusen seemed to get a little rushed."

"Yes, that's key. Schmidt needs to adjust the players' mentality during halftime, otherwise they might still be under pressure from Leipzig in the second half."

Midfield, home team locker room.

"I don't know, I don't know why!"

"I said before the match that Goodman has the ability to shoot, and his shooting technique is quite good!"

"I even talked about this issue last season."

"And then what happened?"

boom!

Schmidt punched the tactical board, knocking down many of the magnetic flags that were attached to the board, which then fell to the ground with a "thud, thud, thud" sound.

"I'll say it again, their defensive midfielders are capable of making forward runs and shooting!"

"And long-range shots!"

"When we're on defense, we treat him like a center!"

"3, 2, 1!"

"Bayer Leverkusen!"

"Victory is certain!"
