1 to 0!

Hoffenheim, who were travelling at the Bruch Road Stadium, scored by Demba Ba.

More than 100 fans who went to the away stadium jumped with excitement.

Hoffenheim did not disappoint them.

Hoffenheim danced excitedly, chanting Demba Ba's name and cheering him on.

"Wow, nice goal! It was Demba Ba who scored the goal! Hoffenheim's corner kick is very well coordinated, and it is linked at first glance. The front nodded the ball back, and the middle followed up with a hammer to score. It's really a good routine! Roy said.

On the sidelines, Rangnick clapped incessantly, grinning on his face.

This goal did come very timely, and Hoffenheim will play more easily in the following games, and Hoffenheim has a big chance of winning this game.

"Hoffenheim took advantage of a set-piece opportunity to break through the opponent's goal, and sure enough, the set-piece was the big killer. Now that Hoffenheim are 1-0 ahead, are they on the verge of an eight-game winning streak? Are they going to go all the way to the bottom and go straight to the top of the league table? "Roy was very excited.

Demba Ba, who scored the goal, rushed out quickly and came directly to his knees to celebrate the goal.

Klopp couldn't sit still either, and immediately walked to the sidelines.

He shouted: "Pay attention to people, don't miss people." Also, we will step up our pressing efforts and score goals as soon as possible! ”

Jurgen Klopp is well aware that a team like Hoffenheim is difficult to play against. Especially after they are ahead, otherwise you look at Hoffenheim why there are so many 1-0 wins.

After taking the lead, Hoffenheim will definitely focus more on defense, draw the opponent out, and then seize the opportunity to counterattack, and forget if there is none.

And as you can see from the many 1-0 wins in the past, Hoffenheim are a very cautious team. Generally, there is no absolute chance of counterattacking, and they will not rush to attack.

As a result, Mainz will face a tighter defence and it will be very difficult for them to break down the opposition's defence.

Klopp couldn't help but glance at Gu Zhen, and said in his heart: "Your luck is not very good, you actually met the most difficult Hoffenheim." ”

Yes, in Klopp's opinion, Hoffenheim is even more difficult to play against than Borussia Mönchengladbach at the top of the league table.

Before the game, Klopp gave Gu Zhen an ultimatum.

If Gu Zhen doesn't perform anything in this game, he will remove Gu Zhen from the starting list. Now encountering Hoffenheim, a super strong team, is even more difficult for Gu Zhen.

Klopp is a little worried about Gu Zhen, and this game is likely to be his last start.

Come on, Gu Zhen!

Klopp cheered for Gu Zhen from the bottom of his heart.

In the stadium, Gu Zhen looked down at the football under his feet, expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking?

Suddenly, Boakye said, "Gu! As close to me as possible from the start of the game, they squeezed their defence and exposed the gaps on both flanks. Only when the side road is opened can we have a chance to grab points! ”

Glancing at Boakye, Gu Zhen bowed slightly.

He knew that Boakye was right, and in the face of Hoffenheim's reinforced concrete defence, it was obviously difficult for the two of them to break through. It will have to be a more all-round three-dimensional attack to be able to put pressure on Hoffenheim's defence and create chances.

Gu Zhen said: "Got it! ”

Honk!

A whistle blows, and the game continues.

Gu Zhen kicked the football back to the midfield, and he slowly pressed forward and killed Hoffenheim's penalty area.

At this time, Hoffenheim's defence was slightly further back.

However, the oppression is still very strong. The distance between their players is very reasonable, and the movement is also very tacit, and they can always form a numerical advantage in a fixed area.

The Mainz team is back and forth to reverse the ball left and right, and there is still no way to tear apart Hoffenheim's defense, Hoffenheim These guys really don't hesitate to do their physical fitness.

Klopp couldn't help but exclaim: "Rangnick is amazing! ”

On the field, the players of the Mainz team have worked very hard, but they don't get many opportunities, Hoffenheim is putting up an iron bucket formation, and the Mainz team is really not good at breaking this iron bucket formation.

Gu Zhen is very active, constantly running left and right in the front court, dispatching the opponent's defense line. However, Hoffenheim's defence is still very intact and it is a team with very strong technical and tactical execution.

The Mainz fans were very nervous and worried.

Time was ticking, but the Mainz team didn't have many chances, they seemed to see no hope of winning and were anxious.

Many media reporters in the stands expressed their opinions: "What is Klopp doing? He should replace the Chinese. What can that Chinese do on the pitch? What else would he do but run around? ”

Someone else said: "Yes, this guy Gu Zhen is invisible again!" ”

Someone else said: "Sending Gu Zhen is a failure, Klopp really favors Gu Zhen too much." At this time, he should be replaced and a more impactful striker should be sent. Take Amri, for example! ”

Media reporters are not optimistic about Gu Zhen, and many people are criticizing and satirizing Gu Zhen.

In fact, Gu Zhen has worked very hard in the stadium. He also made a big contribution to the Mainz team, he disrupted the Hoffenheim defence, and also suppressed the Hoffenheim players and kept them from a chance to counterattack.

Gu Zhen's role on the defensive end is very obvious.

"I took a look, Gu Zhen's defensive range is very large, the speed of running is not slow, and the ability to intercept and sweep is very strong, I think in fact, Klopp should change his position, he is actually more suitable to play in the back. Have you ever wondered, Mr. Klopp? Roy said.

Truth be told, Klopp once thought so.

But soon he vetoed this proposal, not to mention that letting Gu Zhen play in the back would waste Gu Zhen's super ability to grab points and the ability to judge the landing point of the football, just say that Gu Zhen's sense of position in the backfield is very poor, which is enough to show that Gu Zhen can't play in the back.

If Gu Zhen plays in the back, he must let another person fill in for him anytime and anywhere.

It's really more than worth the cost.

And Gu Zhen himself prefers to play as a striker, and Klopp also believes that only by playing as a striker can he maximize Gu Zhen's talent and strength.

Now maybe Gu Zhen is too young and has not yet reached his peak. Give Gu Zhen some time, Gu Zhen will definitely let everyone see how powerful he is on the front line.

Suddenly, the rapid advance of Mainz's midfield came into play.

There was a gap in the Hoffenheim defence, and the Mainz players immediately focused, and Foylner quickly slammed the ball straight into the flank of the Hoffenheim penalty area.

The distance between full-back Ibertsberg and centre-back Comper was a little wider, revealing a gap and being caught by the Mainz.

"Opportunity, great opportunity, Team Mainz!" Roy roared excitedly.

The fans of the Mainz team at the scene were also shouting excitedly, and all eyes were firmly fixed on Gu Zhen, who was inserted into the vacancy.

"Wow! Gu Zhen's forward insertion was very timely and unexpected, he came to the vacancy, Hoffenheim was in danger! Roy shouted excitedly.

Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.

Gu Zhen's judgment of danger and opportunity is really too accurate, and the gap between Ibertsberg and Compel is actually not a big flaw, and it is almost difficult to find. But Gu Zhen found out as soon as possible and quickly stepped forward.

He has a very keen nose for opportunities in front of the goal.

On the sidelines, Rangnick jumped up and roared loudly: "Danger, stop him, you must stop him!" ”

It's really dangerous!

If no one intercepts it, Gu Zhen will have to go alone.

Compel and Ibertsberg also discovered the problem between them for the first time, and immediately quickly contracted to the middle and pounced on Gu Zhen.

These two people were menacing and reacted quickly, and before Gu Zhen could stop the ball, he was caught by these two people, and there was almost no chance.

"Oops! Foylner's pass was still a little slower, and Mainz missed a great opportunity! Roy said, staring at the stadium.

The fans of the Mainz team also felt very sorry, what a great opportunity this is.

Gu Zhen felt the two defenders rushing over, and he knew that he had no chance.

However, Gu Zhen did not give up!

If you don't have a chance, it doesn't mean that the Mainz team won't have a chance.

"Beautiful! Gu Zhen's beautiful heel knock, the first time the ball is knocked back, it's so beautiful. Chance, Mainz! Roy roared excitedly.

All the Mainz fans in the stadium were screaming with excitement, their faces were red, and their blood was surging.

Seeing that the two defenders were rushing up, Gu Zhen, who did not deal with the opportunity, gave up the intention of stopping the ball, but took advantage of the situation to knock the football back with his heel, directly in the direction of the big penalty area.

The location is very empty!

Gu Zhen's forward insertion disrupted Hoffenheim's defense, and Gustavo, the midfielder just now, also pounced from behind Gu Zhen to intercept it, leaking the space near the penalty area line.

Very dangerous!

All the Hoffenheim fans at the scene were so frightened that they couldn't speak, very worried.

'Mainz has players to follow up and he's Pekovic. He can shoot this ball directly with his feet, will he shoot from a distance? Roy roared excitedly.

All the Mainz fans in the stands were staring closely at Pekovic who rushed up, and they put all their expectations on Pekovic and prayed for Pekovic.

Come on, Pekovich!

On the sidelines, Klopp roared excitedly: "Milorad shoots from a distance!" ”

Klopp's voice had not yet fallen, and Pekovic, who was hurrying to follow, stepped on the spot, met the incoming ball, and kicked it fiercely - volley!

With a thud, Pekovic's right foot slammed into the rolling ball like a swinging drum and a golden hammer, making a violent roar, and then flew into Hoffenheim's goal like a white light.

"Pekovic shoots from distance!" Roy roared excitedly.

In that passionate sound, the football roared to the bottom right corner of the goal!

In front of the goal, Hoffenheim's goalkeeper Haas was shocked, the ball was so fast, it was like a lightning bolt. He himself was lacking in confidence, but he still pounced on the side at the first time.

Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven!

Bless me, O God!

Haas burst out and threw himself sideways, his hands stretched straight out to intercept. He gritted his teeth and stretched his arms to the maximum, as for whether the ball could be saved, he really didn't have any confidence at all.

All eyes were on Haas, and everyone was speculating whether Haas could save the ball.

The necks of the two managers on the sidelines were stretched, as if they couldn't retract back.

Call!

The ball blew through like a gust of wind and shot quickly into the bottom right corner of the goal!
