Hoffenheim's goal gave them the lead in the first half, and in the rest of the day, United tried to counter-attack but to little avail - they were affected by the goal and looked panicked on the pitch, just like Hoffenheim had just started, which made Ferguson, who was directing the game from the sidelines, angry, of course, not by picking up a water bottle and smashing the roof of the dugout, but with a black face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Until the end of the first half, the score did not change, and the home team Hoffenheim led 1-0.

When he left the scene, the television broadcast gave Ferguson a close-up of his face, and everyone could see how dark Ferguson's face was.

The "hair dryer" is about to start blowing at halftime.

Rangnick was pleased with his team's performance. With a 1-0 lead at the start of the game, there is nothing to blame for the team's performance. Now they have the upper hand in qualifying.

Rangnick returned to the locker room with a distinct smile on his face.

The expressions on the players' faces were also relaxed.

"You're doing a good job!" Before anyone could fully sit down, Rangnick couldn't wait to praise the players.

At the same time, Ferguson slammed the locker room door shut. The Manchester United players all sat in their positions with their heads bowed, not daring to take a breath. They knew that the "hair dryer" was about to explode.

"What are you guys doing! What's going on! It's a good situation, let you guys make this shit look like this! We should have taken a 2-0 lead in the first twenty minutes! And not fucking behind! When Ferguson is angry, he likes to throw or kick things to vent, and this time he was no exception, flying up and kicking a bottle of mineral water on the ground to the door, and the bottle full of water hit the door with a loud bang, which startled many people.

"In the second half, no matter what method you use, I have to get the score back for me and overtake! Do you bastards want to be eliminated in the group stage! Do you want to be the laughing stock of the whole of Europe! Figure it out, bastards! We're going to have to fucking win this game! ”

Alex Ferguson was still venting his fury while Rangnick was slow-moving his second-half tactics.

'We played like that in the second half, but be careful of Manchester United's counter-attack. Remember, they can't afford to lose, just like us. I think we will have a lot of difficulties in the second half. But no matter what kind of difficulty it is, don't panic and don't give up. Manchester United are strong, of course, but we are not weak. The score says it all. ”

Everyone laughed, and as players, they love to hear the manager compliment them like that.

"Chu, in the second half, Manchester United will definitely defend you more tightly. You have to be careful. Rangnick turned to Chu Zhongtian and said.

Chu Zhongtian nodded.

"Michael! Darren! Ferguson stared at Carrick and Fletcher, "See for yourself what you played in the first half?" You guys are too gentle with Chu! To foul! Foul! You've only had two innocuous fouls on him in the entire first half! What is this? I said before the game, stop him and interfere with him at all costs! How many times do you want to be humiliated by him! ”

Although Ferguson likes Chu Zhongtian very much, now that they are opponents, since they are opponents, it is the best way to let the other party go to hell.

He wanted to sigh now, if Keane was in his prime, why should he do this? As long as you hand over Chu to Kean, you don't have to worry about it.

Ferguson couldn't help but lose his temper, and on the other pitch, CSKA Moscow scored a goal four minutes before half-time, and the score is now 0-1, with the home team behind and the visitors ahead. If the scoreline is maintained until the end, it means that United will be eliminated from the competition. And for Alex Ferguson, this is absolutely unacceptable. A team like Manchester United can't just go home in the group stage.

In the current situation, the only way to qualify is to win against Hoffenheim.

Ferguson was in the dressing room with a hairdryer and his roar continued throughout the half-time. The sixty-eight-year-old man is still energetic and passionate about the cause. It's just that he pity his players, who can only keep their heads down during the fifteen-minute half-time break, and no one dares to look at the thunderous old man, because that would make Ferguson stare at him and chase him fiercely, and mention every mistake he made in the game separately for him to say.

When the United players came out of the dressing room, they seemed to have been bathed in Ferguson's saliva. But their mental outlook is completely different, there is no frustration and panic of conceding the goal, on the contrary, after being scolded by Ferguson, they are now in high spirits.

They were the first to come out and onto the pitch to wait for the Hoffenheim players. It didn't take long for the Hoffenheim players to come out of the tunnel one after another, and unlike the United players who gritted their teeth, the Hoffenheim players still had a smile on their faces, and they had a very good time at halftime.

※※※ "Hey, the game is about to start!" "In the Wimbles bar, the people who had just gone out to play freely at halftime heard the greeting of their companions, and returned to the bar one after another, ordered a beer, and prepared to continue watching the game.

"Hey, it would be more perfect if Chu scored another goal in the second half!" Everyone went back to the bar and started talking.

"Yes, yes! Every time I see Chu score a goal, my blood boils! ”

Meanwhile, in the stands at the Rhine-Neckar Stadium, fans returned to their seats to prepare for the second half.

December 8 is already winter, and the temperature at night is a little cold. The fans, who were still hunching their necks at halftime and looked listless, also recovered their vitality at this time, got up from their seats, waved their arms, and yelled a few times, which was considered a warm-up.

"Okay, let's get back to the Rhine-Neckar, the second half is about to begin. Players from both sides have returned to the pitch and, looking at the players, neither team has made any personnel changes. The commentators also returned to their respective jobs.

The broadcast footage gave Rooney a close-up as he got up from the bench to warm up. The commentators were also guessing in the first half what was the reason why Rooney didn't start. It doesn't look like he's hurt now.

※※※Not long after the start of the second half of the game, Chu Zhongtian found that some changes had taken place around him. Fletcher and Carrick were more aggressive, when he took the ball and was about to turn around, he was pulled by Fletcher from behind, unable to move forward, when Chu Zhongtian was still struggling forward, the referee's whistle sounded, giving Hoffenheim a free kick in the center circle. Although the ball was still Hoffenheim's, the opportunity to attack was lost.

The foul was not serious, it didn't hurt him, and the only effect was to interrupt Hoffenheim's attacking rhythm. Naturally, it is not enough to get the referee to give the opponent a yellow or red card.

But it's this kind of foul that is the most annoying.

Seeing Fletcher pull Chu Zhongtian, Ferguson applauded him on the sidelines.

After that, Chu Zhongtian would always be attacked by various opponents, some of them were pulling their jerseys, and some of them were kicking their ankles. In the past, no matter how strict it was, it was at most an active grab, Chu Zhongtian only needed to kick the ball, and there was always room to play. But now it's different, the other party doesn't even give him a chance to kick the ball, if Chu Zhongtian doesn't want to get hurt, it's best to give up the football and jump up to avoid the opponent's black feet.

How can you organize an attack in this case?

In response to Manchester United's foul tactics, Rangnick kept protesting on the sidelines, but to no avail. The fouls of the Manchester United players are very measured, and they will not cause you serious damage, so naturally they will not be able to eat a card. Anyway, everyone couldn't see Chu Zhongtian being shoveled on the ground and rolling around several times, and then hugging his ankles and wailing in pain. A lot of them are pulling jerseys, pushing thighs, and kicking calves. Some fouls seem to be aimed at the football, but at the same time as touching the football, he will also knock Chu Zhongtianding to the ground, such a steal is of course a foul.

In order to put pressure on the referee, the Manchester United players will open their arms and complain loudly, saying that they are clearly going for the football and have touched the ball.

So sometimes even if Chu Zhongtian falls to the ground, the referee will not blow Manchester United for a foul, but signal the game to continue. This will cause boos from the fans in the stands.

※※※As long as Chu Zhongtian is contained, Hoffenheim can be contained. That's what Alex Ferguson did for United.

In the first half, Manchester United did not completely contain Chu Zhongtian, and the result was that Chu Zhongtian staged a good show of practicing two people and then assisting Salihovic. In the second half, Manchester United's midfielders stepped up their defense against Chu Zhongtian, and at the same time used foul tactics to make Chu Zhongtian unable to lead the team normally, and Manchester United's opportunity naturally came.

In the 56th minute, Manchester United's wings instigated at the same time, because the pressure on the defense was light, so this time the two full-backs pressed out to participate in the attack. Patrice Evra and Park Ji-sung plugged in at the same time, leaving Hoffenheim's players a little confused, not knowing which side of Manchester United's main attack was in.

Carrick gave the ball to Evra, who played a one-two with Scholes, and then crossed underneath, Baker blocked it, and Comper, who was in front of him, rose to the top again, and after a series of mistakes, the ball fell to Michael. Owen, on his side, jumped up five yards in front of goal to head home!

The football flew in from the unresponsive hand of Hildebrand...... The ball is in!

More than 5,000 United fans in the stands jumped from their seats, raised their arms and cheered. Their voices even drowned out the home fans, who had always been dominant.

"Manchester United!!"

"Michael. Irving!! ”

"Manchester United equalised! Oh! Now the score is 1:1 draw!! ”

Seeing Owen score, Ferguson rushed out of the dugout and raised his arms. He was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and while a draw would still not help them, it was a positive sign.

Rangnick looked angry, but he was not angry because he had conceded the goal, but because of the foul tactics of Manchester United before, and the referee's decision was always too light. He rushed to the fourth official, pointed to the pitch and shouted: "Manchester United players should be sent off with red cards!" ”

The fourth official shook his head, mastering the penalty scale was the matter of the referee on the field, and it had nothing to do with him. At best, he can write down what he sees in the post-match report, but the result doesn't change.

"!" The smiles on the faces of the Hoffenheim players on the pitch were gone, replaced by anger.

※※※ "Oh - damn it! There was a sigh in the Wimbledan bar. Although they are all English, there are also people in them who are Manchester United fans, so they should cheer for Manchester United at this time. But at the moment, they are all fans of Hoffenheim and Chu Zhongtian.

"Manchester United's foul tactics are terrible! Chu was completely contained! ”

"It's despicable!"

"Hey, what's not mean on the football field......"

"Think about the 'mad gang' back then......"

The man who shouted despicable immediately stopped talking. The original Crazy Gang also relied on brutal fouls and a brave style to intimidate their opponents in League One, but they enjoyed this kind of football. If it weren't for this football, they wouldn't have been able to beat the mighty Liverpool at Wembley. At that time, the legend of the "Crazy Gang" Pooh. Jones eliminated Liverpool's midfielder McMahon in the opening three minutes, fulfilling his pre-match winning promise: "Kick the opponent's engine and you win!" It was because of Liverpool's lack of preparation for McMahon's injury that they never found their rhythm in the following games, and in the end they lost the game in front of 100,000 spectators, while Wimbledon achieved the first and only FA Cup title in the history of the "Crazy Gang".

"But I've always felt that foul play is only something that we underdogs can do...... I didn't expect Manchester United to use it like this......"

"Ahem, that means in Alex. In Sir Alex Ferguson's eyes, Chu is a very threatening figure! ”

"I'm quite worried about Chu's performance in the subsequent matches now......"

※※※ Cornelia in the stands, they were also disappointed with the goal conceded. Because even if Chu Zhongtian is contained by the opponent and the offense is not smooth, it does not mean that they should concede the ball. The goal was entirely the result of a mistake by his own defenders.

"That little fool of Comper!" Cornelia cursed in the stands. "When I train, I'll be sure to let him know how disappointed I am with his performance! Such a ball can rise to the top, is his heading practice done by others? ”

"Cornelia, maybe something went wrong with our offense that caused ......," someone next to him said.

"Shut up! If something goes wrong with our offense, then we should have defended solidly during that time and not make mistakes like I can't make! Cornelia interrupted the other party with a queenly temperament, and what she said was very reasonable, making it difficult for the other party to refute for a while.

But in her heart, she was also worried about Chu Zhongtian. Hoffenheim's one-and-a-half-season game has long proved that Hoffenheim is Chu Zhongtian's team, once Chu Zhongtian is not in shape, or is frozen by the other party, then Hoffenheim's performance is a second-rate team, no matter how many good players there are, no one can drive them.

She stared at the number eight in the blue jersey on the pitch.

Manchester United's foul tactics and close pressing entanglement really make every player who is treated like this feel very uncomfortable. But you're different, Chu. You are Chu, you are our core, hope. You're a promising player and you're going to see a lot of things like that in your future career. How can you be stumped by such a group game, Chu?

※※※ Sana came to Chu Zhongtian's side and asked him, "No way?" It sounded like a mockery, but Chu Zhongtian knew that Sana was speaking in this tone, and for his former teammates, he couldn't treat himself like Ibisevic. Different people have different personalities, so naturally they need different ways of interacting.

"You have to protect me." Chu Zhongtian said to him.

"How can I protect you? Their foul tactics, as soon as the referee fouls the whistle, the possession is still on our side, whose ball am I going to grab? Sana asked, spreading her hands. Protecting the ball in attack generally means that once the ball in possession loses the ball, he must go up in time to snatch the ball back and then hand it back to the ball keeper. But after Manchester United's foul, most of the time the possession will still belong to Hoffenheim, and he has nowhere to grab it...... "I'm not talking about counter-robbery, I'm saying you and I are closer, I can't keep the ball for too long, you are closer to me, it's easier to do." Chu Zhongtian gestured.

Sana shook his head: "I don't think the other party even wants to give you time to touch the ball." ”

"That's my responsibility, don't get too far away from me, I'll find a way to pass the football to you, it's too easy to get rid of them without the ball." Chu Zhongtian thought that Manchester United's defense was becoming more and more tight, and it was probably difficult for ordinary passes to be effective, so he had to think of something different.

Sana knew what Chu Zhongtian was going to do, relying on quick passing and cutting to break the opponent's close defense, while trying not to give the opponent a chance to foul. It's just that this is very demanding on the ball - ball control is not only dribbling, but also stopping, passing and other skills.

It's not easy to pass the ball quickly and accurately under the opponent's tight marking and fouling.

But he didn't question it, he just said to Chu Zhongtian: "If you think it's useful, then do it." ”

Anyway, when attacking, the two people don't have to think about covering the defense area, and they can get close to each other appropriately.

While the two were discussing countermeasures, the celebration on United's side was over. Owen and his teammates returned to the court. Hoffenheim forwards Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ibisevic were already in the centre circle, waiting for the kick-off.

"Actually, even if it's a draw, Manchester United is out. Because at this time CSKA Moscow was still ahead of Besiktas away from home. Hoffenheim and Manchester United are on the same score, and the win-loss relationship is compared with each other at the same point, and then the goal difference of each other's matches is the same, and the goal difference of each other's matches is the same, and the number of away goals scored in each other's games is also compared, and if it is still the same, the group goal difference is compared, and the group goal difference is the same...... Hoffenheim and Manchester United are the same in terms of win-loss and goal difference, but at the moment Hoffenheim have the upper hand in the number of away goals scored in each other's matches, they are two, and Manchester United are one. Unless United continue to score goals in the coming period. ”

The narrator began to analyze the current situation of the group for the audience.

"So in the next game, Manchester United will definitely continue to attack! It's time to test the whole Hoffenheim team! ”
