Chapter 286: Second Away Goal
readx;
Obasi's cross was headed over by John Terry, and for a moment the England commentator and Chelsea fans cheered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, their cheering did not last long, and it was very brief before it came to an abrupt end.
Because Chu Zhongtian appeared at the front of the forbidden area!
He stopped the football with his chest. However, Chelsea's midfielder Essien was also immediately pressed. Chu Zhongtian did not shoot himself, but knocked the football to the side with his heel, and the inserted Salihovic slid the ball into the box, causing chaos in the Chelsea penalty area, and finally Salihovic's shot was slightly wide to end the attack.
Despite not scoring a goal. But Hoffenheim's attack still delighted their fans, who shouted in the stands for a while.
As the game time goes by, there is less and less time left. The score remained 2-1, with Chelsea leading by one goal.
Chelsea pressed more and more in attack, with both full-backs almost always in the middle line and not going back.
Chelsea fans chanted from the stands: "Score! Goal! ”
Hoffenheim were confined to the back of the pitch during this period of time, as the space became smaller and it was more difficult to receive the ball up front, as Lampard and Malouda had tasted the same as they had just received the ball when the opposition defenders rushed up from behind, making it impossible for them to turn around with a single collision.
Of course, it was impossible to organise the attack like this, and in order to make the attack more smooth, Lampard had to drop back to receive the ball. This was his way to get rid of Chu Zhongtian, and he knew that Chu Zhongtian was a back. For the back when defending, the position is more important than the grab, and the back is more important than the forward, so as long as he returns to the backfield, the opponent will definitely not dare to press up and press, because he will form a huge space behind him, and he can use it, and people will never be able to run football.
He did this a few times, and it did. When he retreated, Chu Zhongtian didn't come up, just looked at him from a distance, and chose to stand in a position to respond to all changes.
Whatever he plans to do, Lampard just doesn't come up and interfere with him, he can calmly pick up the ball and turn around, and then attack in the direction of the attack, either in the middle of the pitch or on the wing.
In the 72nd minute, Frank Lampard dropped back to receive the ball, then brought forward himself and then passed forward to Drogba, who had retreated to receive him. Drogba did not stop the ball and used the outside of his foot to send the ball to Frank Lampard, who continued to rush forward.
"Pretty two-over-one!"
Frank Lampard, who has beaten Sana in a one-two, shoots from outside the box! Enyema made another brilliant save, stopping the ball in the air, and after hitting the ground, his second reaction was also very fast, reaching out to scoop the ball that was still in the air, and then firmly pressing it under him.
'Chelsea's attack is starting to feel and it's getting better!'
'Frank Lampard's drop back was a very subtle move, opening up the distance and making it impossible for Chu to be pressed up so he could pick up the ball and turn around and attack any way he wanted.
'Will Hoffenheim be content to lose just one goal away and score one away goal? If so, then they just need to hold on now, and there are seventeen or eighteen minutes left in the game, as long as they hold on, it will be a victory......"
"I'm worried that Hoffenheim will be content with an away goal and a score of 1:2. Now it looks like my fears may be realized......" Jackson said to his fellow men in the stands. His words were echoed by a number of people, who felt that Hoffenheim would give up on the attack, and that the game could well come to an end with Chelsea besieging Hoffenheim. With a bit of luck, Hoffenheim were able to hold on to that scoreline, and if they were unlucky, they could have conceded a late Chelsea goal.
After all, it's Hoffenheim who are playing here, not their Wimbledon, and they don't feel it that deeply, not as fully committed as they are when they watch their own team play.
Hoffenheim's performance during this period was relatively quiet, which naturally made people feel bored.
"I don't think so." It was the leader of the gang, Boss John of the bar, who spoke. "I don't think they're willing to end the game like that, they're just waiting for their chance. Besides, and Chu, what are you worried about? ”
Emily also turned back to them and said, "Uncle John is right, don't worry, be ready to cheer!" ”
Frank Lampard dropped back again to receive the pass, and he was almost on the same line as Essien and Mikel. That would have increased the distance he could run, but Lampard didn't care, he was known for his physical prowess.
Chu saw Frank Lampard drop back to respond, then turned in possession, and Chelsea's two full-backs began to plug in, and the two full-backs tucked in a bit to make room for the full-backs to sprint upward.
Chelsea have been attacking like this during this time, with Frank Lampard losing his marking, so they have a lot more attacking freedom.
In fact, Chu Zhongtian has always wanted to press up and press, but every time he was about to do this, his intuition told him that it was very dangerous to do so, and he would give his opponent a chance to open up the situation from the middle because of his disposition.
Although intuition always prevented Chu Zhongtian from doing this, Chu Zhongtian had always been fighting against intuition, he was about to move, ran up a few steps, and retreated.
How could Frank Lampard not know about the performance of his opponents?
Every time he turned around and passed, he could see Chu Zhongtian retreating, and he knew that he was trying to move forward while he was turning his back on him just now. That's why he pulled away from the ball, with enough distance, the opponent wouldn't easily rush up and break the ball.
Frank Lampard admits that Chu Zhongtian is indeed a difficult opponent to deal with, and he may not be able to get the advantage of going head-to-head with him, so he has to avoid him and retreat.
Now it seems that I made the right choice and is safe.
Chu Zhongtian couldn't do anything about him, the two of them were twenty or thirty meters apart, he definitely couldn't get up, and he didn't dare to come up. Previous performances have proven this.
After Frank Lampard dropped, Chelsea regained the initiative. Chelsea fans saw the hope of a big win and sang with great force in the stands.
Hoffenheim fans, on the other hand, were a bit quiet.
In the 80th minute of the game, the score was still 2-1, and the home team Chelsea took the lead.
Chelsea attacked again, Hoffenheim set up a defensive formation and waited for the opponent to come up, and Chelsea found that there were no obvious holes in the Chelsea defence, so they did not rush inside, but passed back again, and fell a few times between the central defenders.
Frank Lampard saw that up front and knew he had to drop back again, otherwise the ball wouldn't have been able to get in front.
So he ran back, and just started he looked back to confirm that Chu Zhongtian didn't follow, so he was relieved, just like before, Chu Zhongtian didn't dare to force up, the space behind him was too big...... Frank Lampard thinks so, but the fans in the stands don't.
Chu Zhongtian watched Lampard run back and knew what he was going to do. His instincts told him it was dangerous to keep up. But this time, Chu Zhongtian decided not to listen to his intuition, although his intuition had not been missed until now. But if you don't dare to take the risk, will this game be over like this? He doesn't accept it, he definitely doesn't accept it, one away goal is simply not enough, more goals have to be scored. The next leg is on their home turf, which means Hoffenheim have no chance to score away goals, while Chelsea have 90 minutes to do so. It's like they play Tottenham.
As soon as Lampard turned around to confirm that it was safe, Chu Zhongtian made a decisive attack and quickly followed.
He didn't follow very closely, like a wolf who had attempted his prey, at a very suitable distance, saying that it was not far away, and that it was not close.
"Look! It's Chu, he's going to attack! Boss John in the stands shouted.
At the same time, everyone was excited.
Alex saw Frank Lampard running back and knew he was going to catch the ball and, as he had done so many times before, he passed the ball through.
Almost at the same time, it can even be said that a little earlier than Alex, Chu Zhongtian kicked the ground violently and rushed out!
He arrived with the football, with Lampard's foot touching the ball and the other touching.
Lampard originally planned to stop the ball and then turn around, but as soon as he turned around, he bumped into Chu Zhongtian, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect the other party to really appear behind him!
He wasn't just surprised, everyone else was surprised.
The defensive principle of the midfielder is to mark the man rather than the ball, focus on the position rather than the forward, and would rather go backward than forward. As long as you are in front of the centre-backs, the centre-backs will feel at ease, and at the same time, the opposition will not dare to break through the middle easily. This was the case in many of the details leading up to this game, with Frank Lampard and Essien, Mikel Mikel and others choosing to split sides when they saw Chu Zhongtian and Sana between them and the centre-backs.
It is very dangerous for the back waist to rush twenty or thirty meters to pounce on the opponent's feet, if the opponent has expected it, or if the action is faster, it may be empty, leaving a huge gap behind the opponent to be used.
The two men collided and Frank Lampard lost possession, lost his centre of gravity and fell to the ground, screaming in hopes of attracting the attention of the referee. In fact, he thought that Chu Zhongtian's ball was fouled, and it was a kick in the back.
In fact, Chu Zhongtian is playing football!
Chu Zhongtian and Frank Lampard hit the ball almost at the same time, Lampard stopped the ball, Chu Zhongtian did poke the ball forward gently, and in this way the football was out of Lampard's control. He then raised his hands in the air so that Lampard's attempt to stick to him didn't materialise, while telling the referee that he didn't make any movement on his hands and that it wasn't a foul!
Lying on the ground, Frank Lampard did not wait for the referee's whistle and instead saw Chu Zhongtian shake him off and rush towards the football.
Because there is still a distance of about fifteen meters between Alex and Lampard, the football did not fall directly into the control of Alex, but Chu Zhongtian got the football in advance!
"Chu! Nice anti-robbery! This sudden forward insertion surprised everyone! ”
Actually, that's not true, the Chelsea players didn't expect it, but there were people in the Hoffenheim team who expected it.
Seeing Chu Zhongtian hanging behind Lampard's ass like a wolf, Ibisevic knew what he was going to do, so instead of retreating to defend, he pushed forward, ready to launch a counterattack at any time.
Seeing Chu Zhongtian's successful ball break, he immediately accelerated and rushed forward.
※※※"Oh...... Oh!! It's Chu! The Wimbledon fans in the stands were excited, and they let out a huge cheer when they saw Chu Zhongtian beautifully cut off Frank Lampard's ball from behind.
This abruptly remembered cheer made Andrew . Morahan also became excited, and he used the walkie-talkie to tell the photographers in all directions: "The No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 cameras are aimed at our stands!" Machine No. 4 is aimed at the stands of Chelsea fans! Fast! ”
He was keenly aware that this was the kind of explosive, incredible, and exciting shot he had been waiting for for a long time, or that this kind of shot was coming...... "Rush! Clear!! ”
Boss John, Bent Sr., and Jackson roared at the top of their voices, and at this moment, they seemed to be back at Stamford Bridge six years ago, in this position, watching Chu Zhongtian pass three players in a row, and then slammed the football into the Chelsea goal.
Emily and Wu Qingyu also shouted, and Wu Qingyu was completely immersed in the atmosphere of the game at this time. Wimbledon recalls six years ago, so why not? On that cold night six years ago, he was only twelve years old, still learning to play football in a professional team, in front of the TV, he stared nervously at Chu Zhongtian's every move, watching him pass one after another world-class stars who could only look up to before, he clenched his fists and looked excited and nervous, exactly the same as today.
Wimbledon and Hoffenheim fans in the stands were chanting Chu Zhongtian's name, while the Chelseamen were nervous and let out even more frantic boos to silence the shouts of the opposing fans.
In such a noisy environment, Chu Zhongtian received the football, did not bring the ball to the side, nor did he bring the ball to the middle, but directly passed the football horizontally to the central area!
Originally, Chelsea's defenders saw Chu Zhongtian break the ball, and they all regarded him as a threat to the left and right, and subconsciously only regarded him as a target, and leaned towards him one after another, as for Ibisevic, who was inserted in the middle, he was temporarily forgotten.
Ibisevic was forgotten by the opponent, but Chu Zhongtian did not forget him, and he unexpectedly crossed the ball as soon as he received the ball.
Chelsea's defensive focus quickly shifted back to Ibisevic.
Only one person is an exception. Lampard didn't hear the referee's whistle on the ground, so he jumped up and went in the back of Chu Zhongtian. He knew what a dangerous man he was, he didn't pull the ball away, he didn't get closer, he didn't stop, he continued to rush along the ribs, Lampard knew what he was going to do, he was going to play a one-two with Ibisevic!
When his teammates were a little dizzy from Chu Zhongtian's transmission, he had to stay awake, so the matter of chasing Chu Zhongtian was left to him.
Everything was just as Lampard had expected, the football was passed to Ibisevic, but the Bosnian striker did not stop the ball or dribble the ball, he saw Chu Zhongtian cut in before receiving the ball, which gave his long-time team-mate what he wanted to do. Now it's up to him to see if he can get the ball right.
He turned his foot sideways and pushed it straight!
Football from two central defenders John Brown. Terry and Alex scurried between each other.
At the same time, Chu Zhongtian also just crossed the line formed by the two central defenders, and he was not offside!
"Nice direct pass! Pretty two-over-one! Nice anti-offside! CCTV's commentator He Ping said three beautiful in a row.
Chu Zhongtian originally ran in a straight line, but after seeing Ibisevic's push, he adjusted his direction slightly and chased the ball diagonally.
Chelsea fans booed even more when they saw Chu break through his defence.
Frank Lampard chased after him desperately.
"Chu Zhongtian got the ball! He's got the ball! He Ping shouted again, as a commentator who has commented countless games, he knows very well what it means for Chu Zhongtian to receive the ball behind the entire Chelsea defence - a single knife!
Petr Cech dropped out and Frank Lampard was desperately chasing after him.
This reminded Frank Lampard of the scene he had seen six years ago, when he tried to take on Chu Zhongtian in a dignified manner, but his own collision failed to knock his opponent down, but instead allowed his opponent to escape the defence.
I think about myself at that time now, I was so naïve.
Now he won't allow himself to make that mistake again, and this time it's a foul to stop him!
Frank Lampard was already very close to Chu Zhongtian, and if he ran one step further, he could reach out and grab Chu Zhongtian's clothes, but it might be too late. Petr Cech is on the move, he could shoot at any moment.
Frank Lampard threw his whole weight out and got his feet in the tackle!
Just as he was about to tackle the football, the football was gone!
Cech, who was attacking, saw Chu Zhongtian slap his leg while running, and he reflexively pounced, but the football did not fly in the direction he judged, nor did it fly to the side that was completely opposite to the direction of his save, it jumped high and flew over his head...... "Spoon!!" ”
Chu Zhongtian, who had completed the shot, was tackled to the ground by Frank Lampard, but his head was held high and his eyes were following the football in the air.
He saw the ball go over Petr's head, and Cech was looking up on the ground, unable to do anything.
※※※ Andrew. Morahan felt the stands shake beneath his feet, and every Wimbledon fan in front of him threw their hands up and jumped from their seats. At the same time they chanted: "Chu-"
“――gooooooooooooooooooal!!!”
The Chelsea goal was just below the stands where the fans were, and they could see it clearly as the ball went past Petr Cech and then made a downward arc into the empty net, falling to the ground and scurrying forward, caught in the net.
"Second goal! Second goal! Second away goal! Hoffenheim did it! They scored two goals at Stamford Bridge, 2-2! ”
"Hooray! Hoffenheim! The Hoffenheim fans finally let out a cry that could suppress the boos of the Chelsea fans.
"Hooray! Clear!! And the Wimbledon fans were chanting the names of the heroes.
