Volume 1: The First Cry of the Rhine Chapter 112: The Geniuses of Hoffenheim
The first half was a 1-1 draw.
The result was not very satisfying for both sides, who were not only against each other, but also against the likes of Freiburg, Munich 1860 and Cologne.
So, in this game, they have only one goal, and that is to win.
At the start of the second half of the game, both teams were very active in the game, both attacking.
Yes, both teams are starting again!
In the middle of the field began to go crazy tug-of-war, you come and go.
The pressing of both teams is very strong, and the pressing is also very routine and disciplined, which comes from the tacit understanding and running between their teammates, and frequently puts pressure on the opponent.
"Did you see it, the two fell into a stalemate in the midfield battle again!" Roy said.
Now Gu Zhen is a little stealthy again!
It's hard to see him in attack, but when the midfield is pressing, his appearance rate is still very high.
Mainz's tactics of defending the whole team and defending as a whole are vividly reflected in this point.
Suddenly, Hoffenheim broke the ball in midfield.
Gustavo suddenly stepped up to block a pass from Mainz's side, and Calhan made a mistake.
Sure enough, the decrease in physical strength will cause a series of chain reactions, and even the concentration will be reduced.
This ball Karhan originally wanted to pass to Foylna, who was cut forward on the wing, but unfortunately the intention was judged by Gustavo in advance and he made a steal.
"Danger! Team Mainz Danger! Roy immediately exclaimed.
Before Lowy's words fell, the football had come to the edge of the Mainz penalty area!
Fast!
Hoffenheim's counterattack was really fast, like a bolt of lightning.
The fans of the Mainz team at the scene were frightened and very worried. Their eyes were fixed on the man in Hoffenheim, known as "Ronaldinho II", with concern in their eyes.
It was Eduardo who got the ball!
Eduardo's technique on his feet is gorgeous, especially on his left foot.
His position is in the right midfield, and Rangnick is interested in his ability to cut inside.
At this time, as soon as Eduardo received the ball, he immediately pulled the football to the side with his right foot, shook it for a moment, mobilized the opponent's defender, he immediately knocked the football to the middle, and the left and right feet continuously fried croquettes, and slammed the football forward, and the football immediately rolled past Nowitzki's side.
At the same time, Eduardo rushed past Nowitzki like a slippery loach and caught up with the football.
"Danger! Mainz team danger~! Eduardo passed! Roy screamed in horror.
All the Mainz fans in the stadium gasped.
Is this going to face Mainz goalkeeper Senna directly? It's so dangerous, damn it!
There was a loud bang, and just as Eduardo was about to catch up with the football leg blast, Subotic slid out of the car in time, grabbed the first step, and slid the ball out of the bottom line.
"Wow! Beautiful defense, Subotic appeared too well, otherwise, the Mainz team would have lost the goal! Roy immediately said,
The fans of the Mainz team at the scene were also relieved, so hanging!
"Corner, Hoffenheim got a corner!" Loy is worried about the Mainz team.
"Hoffenheim's last goal came from a corner, and now Mainz should pay attention to the opponent's corner, defend carefully, and don't give the opponent any chance!" Roy said.
On the sidelines, Klopp also shouted loudly, reminding his players.
Salihovic has a knack for set-pieces, he's scored five direct free-kicks so far this season, and if you think about it, he's only eight goals in total. Direct free-kick goals occupy a lot of average, which shows how good his footwork is.
And Salihovic's current number of assists has also come to 10, some of which are direct assists from corner kicks, this guy is a very dangerous presence in the Hoffenheim team.
At this time, Gu Zhen was standing in the middle circle, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.
Suddenly, Salihovich made a quick run and hit the ball with a hard kick, and the ball flew quickly to the back post!
Yes, this time it flew directly to the rear point.
Subotic was diverted away from the mountain by Ibisevic, and both men rushed to the front point.
Nelson jumped high at the back post, pressed Rose in front of him, and smashed the flying soccer ball hard, completing the header goal.
"Nelson heads the goal!" Roy roared in horror.
Then the ball was high above the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line!
It was really too suspenseful just now, Nelson is 190cm tall, and it was a very dangerous thing for him to jump up and fight for the header, but fortunately, under the interference of Rose, the football flew out of the bottom line. Otherwise, the Mainz team will fall behind again.
"Defend, pay attention to marking, marking!" On the sidelines, Jurgen Klopp shouted loudly, reminding his players.
Now the situation is very tense, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed.
No wonder Klopp was so nervous.
Mainz drove the goalball out, and Ivanovic jumped high in front of the court and headed the ball.
Yes, at this time the Mainz team has already made a substitution.
Jurgen Klopp replaced Boakye with high school striker Branislav Ivanovic, and it's time to try the high school bombardment.
The football flew rapidly towards Gu Zhen, Gu Zhen was chested, pushed the football forward, and dodged Gustavo's pressing. Without waiting for the football to hit the ground, a volley came directly.
The soccer ball whistled off the baseline and almost missed the birdie that flew in the air.
Gu Zhen put an anti-aircraft gun!
Gu Zhen immediately turned around and stretched out his hand, expressing his apologies to his teammates, his kick was too messy.
Countless media reporters in the stands sarcastically ridiculed Gu Zhen, it is really a garbage, this shooting technique is even worse than the strikers of German C, what face do you have left on the field?
Klopp shook his head slightly on the sidelines, and said to Bwach beside him: "It seems that Gu Zhen is going to contact more shots next, and his shooting skills still need to be improved." Especially long shots! ”
Yes, now Gu Zhen's scoring methods are still too simple.
Gu Zhen is easily stuck by defenders, and he must increase his offensive means so that he can play more calmly.
Bwach also bowed slightly: "Recently, he has been practicing long-range shooting, but it seems that the effect is not very ideal!" ”
In the stadium, the two sides began to see-saw again!
However, at this time, there were some problems with the fitness of the players on both sides, and some of them declined. Their concentration also declined, and some of the balls were too much to be desired, and gradually both sides had more chances.
At this time, the fans on both sides were very nervous.
You go back and forth, as if you're going to score a goal in the next moment. None of them want to concede a goal at this time. If you concede a goal at this time, you will probably lose this game.
Still, both teams attacked like crazy because they both wanted to win.
The head coaches of the two teams also moved around the sidelines frequently, shouting loudly, directing the players on the field, telling them to play carefully and carefully, and not to desert.
At this moment, the Mainz midfielder broke the ball.
Calhan grabbed the hand and quickly pushed the football forward, and the football rolled towards Gu Zhen rapidly.
Gu Zhen, who was on his back, carried the defender behind him, did not stop the ball, but pushed the football back to Pekovic who followed up, and Pekovic also made the first pass and quickly sent the football to the side.
Francic Jr. rushed up on the wing, did not stop the ball, but directly crossed at an angle of 45 degrees, and the football whistled past and flew into the Hoffenheim penalty area.
Branislav Ivanovic and Nelsson, two of the more than 190cm tall, rushed forward, jumped high and competed for the header.
With a thud, Ivanovic shook his head and threw the ball into the far corner of the Hoffenheim goal.
Haas, who sealed the corner, turned pale, he had no chance at all.
It's dangerous!
All the Hoffenheim fans in the stadium were so frightened that they lost their voices.
The ball grazed the far post and flew off the line, and Ivanovic was only one goalpost away from the goal, but alas!
The fans of the Mainz team at the scene sighed regretfully, and they were very helpless.
At this time, both teams seemed to be open, and both teams began to besiege each other's goals frequently. The chances of both sides are about the same, and the fans on both sides are worried. They were all afraid of conceding at this time, but they all wanted to score.
So, they're all more adventurous now.
However, at this time, Gu Zhen seemed to be invisible again.
It's rare for everyone to see Gu Zhen in the camera, let alone his amazing performance.
Suddenly, Mainz fans had more expectations for Gu Zhen. Now Gu Zhen is hibernating, waiting for a chance to kill with one blow.
And the Hoffenheim players on the field haven't felt it yet, because they can still see Gu Zhen occasionally, but Gu Zhen didn't appear in the camera much, didn't appear in dangerous places, they were a little lax.
And at this time, Hoffenheim's attack came!
Eduardo sprinted down the flanks and broke through with the ball. This guy is showing his talent to the fullest, and his skills are really fancy and not slow. The only downside is that he's a little weaker, but he's really talented.
This time, Eduardo cut inside immediately after breaking through on the wing.
The defenders of the Mainz team were taken aback and introduced.
At this moment when the Mainz people were adducting, Eduardo suddenly got up and curled the ball into the Mainz team's penalty area.
Eduardo's footwork was also good, with a hand in his cross. And there is also a hand in free kicks, but there is a more powerful presence in the Hoffenheim team. So his light was completely overshadowed by Salihovic.
Eduardo's curling ball was very beautiful and accurate.
The ball raced into the middle of the box between Nowitzki and Subotic, and Ibisevic sprinted out of the box, jumping high between the two centre-backs and heading home from near the six-yard box.
Dangerous!
Roy's face was very ugly, and his heart was extremely frightened, this was too dangerous.
The Mainz team is finished this time!
Yes, the goal is very dangerous, Ibisevic is too close to the goal, how many goalkeepers can keep a header from such a close distance?
Mainz is finished.
On the sidelines, Klopp's face was also very ugly and frightened.
Not to mention the Mainz fans on stage, their faces are even more ugly, and their hearts are even more worried and frightened.
