Chapter Ninety-Seven: The One Who Controls the Situation

"Bayern Munich has scored!"

In the 71st minute of the game, people in the Wolfsburg dugout suddenly became excited, and those with radios or mobile phones shouted to the field about the latest score changes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's a 2:2 draw now!"

Not only them, but also the small number of Wolfsburg fans in the stands cheered as they also knew the latest score changes over there.

What does this mean? This means that as long as both sides keep that scoreline until the end, then Wolfsburg will be back at the top of the table, firmly holding their destiny firmly in their own hands. In the final round, as long as they win at home against Werder Bremen, then they will win the league title.

The Wolfsburg fans in attendance were greeted with great joy, who chanted loudly and cheered for Bayern Munich. There were even some Hannover 96 fans who joined in cheering on Bayern Munich and cursed Hoffenheim for bad luck. M&A is not something that everyone will change their preconceptions about Hoffenheim after a season, and prejudice is like the most stubborn stain that is not so easy to remove. So there are still a lot of people who don't like Hoffenheim, and there are also such people among the fans of Hannover 96. They believe that if Hoffenheim does win the championship, it will be a disaster for German football - the countless small balls that have risen from the big bosses with money will crowd out the survival space of the old volleyball teams with a long history but little money. This is called "bad money drives out good money".

"Such a team should not win the championship even if it is not relegated! This would be a bad start to German football! With this in mind, some Hannover 96 fans cursed Hoffenheim, hoping that Bayern Munich would be able to bring the promoted horses back to their original shape.

"One more! One more! "Fans from both sides were cheering for Bayern Munich in the stands and the game in front of them seemed to be irrelevant.

Actually, it really doesn't matter. Hannover 96 is now ranked 11th in the league, relegation is worry-free, and European qualification is no play, and there is really no pursuit. Therefore, even if this game is lost to Wolfsburg by a big score, it is not a loss for them. And now the score of 4:0 has also made the Wolfsburg players have no heart to continue the game - they can't lose anyway. All they can do now is when another goal will come from another stadium and, of course, Bayern Munich.

"Hoffenheim attacked again, but Obasi wasted the opportunity...... They must be missing Ibisevic especially now! ”

While the other stadium was praying for Bayern Munich to score, Hoffenheim were desperately looking for an opportunity to score.

If this Bayern Munich team had been led by Jurgen Klinsmann, perhaps Hoffenheim would have found the scoring opportunity easily. But now the head coach of Bayern Munich is Heynckes, the old coach who pays attention to the balance of attack and defence, his team is more stable and has fewer opportunities to take advantage of.

Still, Heynckes couldn't sit still in the dugout, and he stood on the sidelines nervously watching the game.

Like him, there was Hoffenheim manager Rangnick.

Just after Obasi wasted the opportunity, Rangnick replaced him with Sanogo, who did not replace a defensive midfielder as he had done before, out of concern for a counter-attack from Ribery and Schweinsteiger. In the final ten minutes of the game, Bayern Munich changed their tactics and played a counter-attack.

Heynckes' tactics are based first on "not losing" and then on "winning".

In the face of such an opponent, Hoffenheim is actually more uncomfortable to fight.

Hoffenheim's style of football has meant they will be comfortable against fast-paced, attacking teams that have plenty of holes at the back. And when facing teams that can't hold on, there will be no way.

Bayern Munich are a bit of a dead defender – of course they counter-attack, but first they have to do their defensive job well.

After all, Bayern Munich is in a better situation than Hoffenheim. Even if they draw with Hoffenheim in this game, they will still be third in the league if they win against direct rivals Stuttgart in their next game. So Heynckes had more options than Rangnick, and it was much greater. Hoffenheim can't win this game, not only to beat Schalke 04 in the final round, but also to count on Wolfsburg to lose at home to Werder Bremen, they may of course beat Schalke 04, Wolfsburg can also lose to Werder Bremen, but the probability of these two things happening at the same time is really not high...... Sanogo's arrival drew the lead from the commentator Marcel. Leif scoffed. "I think Rangnick must want Sanogo not to hit the post three times in one game......"

Effenberg, who was the guest commentator next to him, also laughed.

Sanogo's performances over the course of this season have been nothing short of a joke – a long goal drought and three postings in one game, as well as a penalty miss, he has always missed the scoring.

But aside from Sanogo, Rangnick has no one to replace, with Wellington suffering a torn cruciate ligament early in the winter break and missing the rest of the season. At the height of the league, during the sprint to win the championship, Ibisevic was seriously injured again, and now Hoffenheim only has three strikers available, except for Demba in the starting line-up. Outside of Ba and Obasi, it is Sanogo, who can you use without him?

Sanogo came on a mission to change the score, but his eyes were full of smiles - it was a mockery.

※※※ "Rangnick replaced Sanogo. Wolfsburg's assistant coach Serpo . Eichkorn (seppo_eichkorn) said to his manager next to him, Magath.

Magath was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said to Eichkorn: "It's really the Bremen people who decide the league championship." ”

Sanogo is on loan from Bremen to Hoffenheim, of course, in the Bremen camp, and Wolfsburg's opponent in the final round of the league is Bremen, so Magath has this to say.

He obviously thinks that Hoffenheim is done in this game, whether it is a loss or a draw, he will lose the first place in the league, so isn't the match that decides the league title a battle between Wolfsburg and Werder Bremen? As long as Wolfsburg win on their home turf, even if Hoffenheim beat Schalke 04 100-0, it won't help.

The news of Sanogo's arrival quickly reached the bench, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that Hoffenheim was out of action in this game.

※※※ Sanogo is actively interspersed. Of course, he knew what the outside world thought of him, and he thought that a loan move to Hoffenheim would be a turning point in his career, but he became the laughing stock of everyone. He managed to earn himself the title of "god of decay".

Despite this, he is still very positive on the field. Although the goddess of luck always does not favor him...... The game was already in the final ten minutes and the Hoffenheim fans were no longer paying attention to the situation at Wolfsburg. The people who were still listening to the radio with headphones on before took their headphones off, turned off the radio, and watched the game on the field with all their attention, they only cared about themselves. The fate of this game is still in their own hands - as long as they can score goals, they can win this game.

"Ten minutes to go......," Abel muttered, biting his fingers. Although he has been telling himself to have faith in Hoffenheim, he is still anxious to watch the time pass quietly. Confidence is not everything, especially if you are an ordinary fan, what is the use of having confidence in the team? Does he have faith in Hoffenheim that Hoffenheim can score in the last minute?

The Hoffenheim fans were still singing, and he noticed that the female fan he had spoken to before was singing very devotedly, and maybe she was the most die-hard Hoffenheim fan, the kind from Hoffenheim...... Look at her age, she can be her own mother. Why doesn't my mom like football? If she also liked football, she wouldn't have to sneak out...... The thought that he had snuck out and that he had to face that angry mother when he came home gave Abel a headache.

He shook his head vigorously.

Never mind! I don't want to, let's wait until this game is over...... Hoffenheim, Hoffenheim, don't let me sneak out behind my mother's back and make this trip useless, I don't want to be scolded by my mother and suffer the pain of your loss. If I had a choice, I would rather be scolded by my mother, as long as you can win...... Win, win, Hoffenheim!

※※※ Chu Zhongtian knows that there is not much time left for them at the critical moment of the game, and if they continue to waste opportunities, then all the hard work of the whole season will be in vain. He was absolutely unwilling to accept such a defeat. If you are doomed, it is better to withdraw from the championship competition at the beginning of the league, and since you are all in front of the finish line, you must win!

But now Sanogo, although positive, is not in too good shape, and Dengba. Ba was under the tight watch of his opponent, plus he had been running for 80 minutes, and his fitness was not good. Sarihovic and Eduardo are also looking a little exhausted, and Weiss will have to focus on defending...... This is what you can do to help yourself...... It seems that there is only oneself.

Chu Zhongtian thought about Rangnick's requirements for himself at the beginning of the season, to make himself more aggressive, to shoot more and to score goals. A free man has to be able to score goals.

Ibisevic is not there, Demba. Ba was closely marked, Sanogo was out of form, Sarihovic and Eduardo were out of fitness, and it looked like they were the only ones left to solve the problem.

Chu Zhongtian asked his teammates for the ball.

Saarihovic passed the football to him. Then he didn't dribble forward right away, Van . Beaumel was mindful of this. A season has passed, and if you don't know what the characteristics of your opponent are, Fan. Bommel is not worthy of the captain's armband for Bayern Munich.

He knew that Chu Zhongtian had the ability to suddenly dribble forward with the ball at a critical moment, and then disrupt the opponent's defense, and take advantage of the chaos to divide the ball to create a killing opportunity. So after the game entered the eightieth minute, he had been paying close attention to Chu Zhongtian's movements in this regard.

As long as Chu Zhongtian showed a little bit of forward meaning, Fan. Beaumel will immediately get nervous and ready to meet the enemy.

Fan. Bommel is paying attention to Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian is also paying attention to Fan. Beaumel. That's why he won't be so stupid as to reveal his intentions right away.

He's going to get Bayern Munich to take a break from himself.

So after getting the ball, he passed the ball to Eduardo.

Then he ran forward a little on his own, and instead of plunging into the end, he stopped near the center circle.

Fan. Bommel noticed his movements, and saw that he had no intention of continuing to cut forward, so he did not press up, but continued to defend in the midfielder position.

Eduardo had intended to move on, but Bayern Munich's defense was tightly organized and there was no good way to do it.

He turned around and saw that Chu Zhongtian was hooking his hand at him, so he passed the ball back again.

Since Bayern Munich's backline is fast and big, what Chu Zhongtian has to do is not to continue to put pressure on the backline, but to let them press out.

Chu Zhongtian, who received the ball, did not rush to the ball, but controlled the ball, and then stopped and looked around, observing the surrounding situation.

Seeing that he was slow to play the ball, Bayern's players couldn't bear it anymore, and they rushed out to grab the ball.

Chu Zhongtian understands the psychology of Bayern players very well. Although Heynckes allowed his team to shrink their defense in the final ten minutes and play counter-attacks, saving the chance for the decisive battle for the next game. But not everybody is willing to accept the result, they think, "If we have a chance to win this game, why not?" ”

So when the opportunity arises, they can't wait, rush to it, hoping to seize it.

Now Chu Zhongtian has been in possession of the ball for a long time, there is no one around him who can be protected, Weiss is in front of his side, if Chu Zhongtian loses the ball, Bayern can directly face Hoffenheim's weak backline...... Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, Tony, Podolski, Schweinsteiger and Ribery won completely.

When Chu Zhongtian saw Bayern's Schweinsteiger rushing towards him, he did not pass the football to the target he had already observed as usual, but turned around and brought the football back! This is not his style at all, has he observed it for a long time before and hasn't observed it well?

Seeing that Chu Zhongtian didn't play the ball in time, he turned around and headed towards his goal. Bayern's players are overjoyed, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Although they don't know why Chu Zhongtian, who has always been calm on the field, would make such a dizzying mistake, this is obviously an opportunity for Bayern Munich to counterattack after the reversal.

With the back of the back, it is easy to not see the situation behind you, and once it is broken, there is no chance to make amends.

For a while, Schweinsteiger and Ribery rushed towards Chu Zhongtian, looking menacing.

But Ribery was halfway through the run and suddenly full of footsteps, and he always felt that this was strange. With his understanding of Chu Zhongtian, the person who can always understand the situation on the field and control everything has no reason to make such a mistake, this is too obvious...... It's not like a mistake, it's like a ...... Pitfall?

He wasn't sure either, so he turned his head to look behind him, and found that there were suddenly a lot of gaps in the line of defense, which was still tight just now—everyone was pressed out, the front guard line was pressed forward, how could the back line continue to stay behind?

So when I saw Schweinsteiger and Ribery, Podolsky and others go to fight Chu Zhongtian, the back line is also very cooperative to press up, trying to cause multiple attacks, even if this attack is not successful, the football is cleared and still falls at their feet, and they can organize a second attack and three attacks...... If you keep pressing Hoffenheim, maybe you can score?

Ribery felt that this was very wrong, and when he looked back at Schweinsteiger, he found that the little pig had been attached to Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian still did not pass the ball, but just stumbled backwards with Schweinsteiger, not running fast, slow and slow, but he protected the ball very well, just so that the little pig could not grab the ball. But in this way, he still does not pass the ball...... Ribery's doubts grew deeper and deeper, and he finally decided that it was a trap! The purpose is to attract Bayern's backline to press out, so that there will be vacancy, otherwise like the previous state, even Chu Zhongtian may not have much to do...... But he turned his back to the attack, neither raised his head nor turned his head, how could he see the situation behind him and decide to launch a counterattack?

For this, Ribery suddenly remembered the time when he played with Chu Zhongtian in Metz. At first, the coaches always had to remind Chu Zhongtian to look up and look up, but later found that Chu Zhongtian could always send the football to where it should be even if he didn't look up and observe, and it was absolutely right, the coaches no longer mentioned the matter of looking up and observing.

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian has the kind of talent that knows what the current situation is like even if he doesn't look up to observe, which is the so-called keen intuition...... So he didn't have to look back, and probably knew what was going on behind him now...... Ribery guessed correctly, in Chu Zhongtian's mind now, the closed gate in front of Bayern Munich's goal is slowly opening, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger. He didn't rush to make a move, but continued to wait. He had to wait for the moment when the door would not close even if he knew what he wanted to do.

Schweinsteiger kicked him hard from behind him to break the ball, and Podolski rushed up from the other direction to surround him, while Toney waited not far away, and as soon as the two men poked the ball out, he could catch the ball and attack.

Chu Zhongtian didn't look up to observe these situations, he lowered his head to protect the football, and the situation on the field was all reflected in his mind.

That's what he's capable of, he's a natural situationalist, everyone else is a pawn, but he's a chess player.

Ram, who has always prided himself on his excellent offensive ability, was also ready to make a move and rushed up. Bommel pressed forward, and that door had basically been completely opened in Chu Zhongtian's mind.

This is the opportunity that Chu Zhongtian has been waiting for, and only this time!

If you miss it, the gate will be reclosed and won't open again anyway!

This is the only opportunity that must be seized!
