readx;
Chu Zhongtian didn't score with three consecutive shots, but the cheers at the Rhine-Neckar Stadium resounded in the sky, and it lasted for five or six minutes before gradually stopping. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The television broadcaster also continued to replay the three consecutive heavy bombardments of the door. The commentators and commentators analyzed how these three kicks were more fierce than one kick...... "Shoot out, and then bounce back, and then Chu combined these two forces into one, plus his third shot, it formed such a swift shot!" β
The stretcher was carried up, but Cambiaso refused to be carried down, he was still conscious, he didn't want to be too weak in front of his own enemies on the enemy's home field, so he refused to be carried down, although his breath was still uneven, he still held his chest and slowly walked to the sidelines with the support of the team doctor.
The Inter Milan fans in the stands applauded Cambiaso, although he was suffocated by Chu Zhongtian in the game, but there was no shame in that.
At the same time, on the domestic Internet, the discussion about Chu Zhongtian's three-legged continuous slamming of the door also exploded.
"Holy! Lin Danda is so powerful! β
"In the past, Bruce Lee was called 'Li Sanjiao', and I think we can also call Chu Zhongtian 'Chu Sanjiao' now!"
"It's horrible! Cambiaso was knocked to the ground and couldn't get up for half a day...... How powerful is that? β
"Eggs are mighty! The Great China Cannon is mighty! β
"Holy shit! If the last kick is in, it will be wonderful! Definitely the top 10 goals in the Champions League this season, didn't run! β
"Tears streaming down my face, China also has players who can do it in international football!"
"Even though I'm an Inter fan, I want this goal to go in...... It's wonderful! β
...... the protagonist of this praise and touting did not get complacent, he reminded his teammates to continue to attack and continue to put pressure on Inter.
"This is a good opportunity!" Taking advantage of the temporary pause in the game, he clenched his fists and said to his teammates who had come up to congratulate him. "Their morale and self-confidence must have taken a hit! So we're going to go on the offensive! Keep shooting from a distance! If they don't come out, then we'll fight until they come out and grab us! β
Chu Zhongtian is not worried about the long-range shot is a waste of opportunity, he feels that he has been in good shape for a few years, the accuracy of the shot is very high, and the long-range shot can also cause the goalkeeper to save the ball and get rid of the ball, and the defense in the penalty area is chaotic, which can create opportunities for teammates who are ambushed in front of the goal. The last reason is that Hoffenheim practiced long-range shots in training more than once in the two weeks leading up to the game, just to deal with Inter's dense defence.
As it turned out, when the game resumed, it was clear that Inter Milan's formation was divided. Some of the players followed the pre-match instructions of the head coach Jose Mourinho, kept the formation compact and stable, and held the 30-metre area. But some other players feel that if they continue to play like this, they will be beaten by the opponent sooner or later, and they want to rush out and force and regain the initiative.
The result was some loosening of their defences.
Chu Zhongtian picked up his feet, Sneijder thought that he was going to shoot from a distance again, so he pounced on it and forced it, but Chu Zhongtian pushed the football from under his feet.
Direct pass!
The ball was picked up by Ibisevic, who dropped back, and then distributed it to Eduardo, who leaned towards the middle.
The Brazilian rubbed the soles of his feet and protruded in. The players of Inter Milan thought that he must have broken through this time, but when he thought of Eduardo, who leaned forward, the breakthrough was just a feint, he knocked the football back with his heel and gave it to Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian directly kicked and passed the football, the football crossed the head of the Inter Milan defender and fell to the empty place on the left side of the penalty area.
Chu's pass tore through Inter's defence again! Salihovic received the ball! He shot straight at the goalβ"
The ball was saved by Cesar.
"If Inter Milan end up qualifying, then the best player of the game will have to be Giulio. Cesar! If Hoffenheim advances, then the best player of the match will be Chu! No suspense! β
"Our defense is in shambles!" Cesar got up from the ground and yelled. He was unhappy with his team-mates' performance.
Also unhappy was Jose Mourinho, who was yelling off the pitch for his players to keep in shape. But no one listened to him, and the players in the game were no longer under his control. Some people were frightened by Chu Zhongtian's continuous hitting, and planned to shrink in front of the goal to defend until the end of the first half, and then throw the problem to the manager and let Mourinho tell them what to do in the second half. Others were beaten out of the air and wanted to press out to fight Hoffenheim and show their Inter Milan courage.
Inter Milan, which was originally monolithic, has split from within, and this is simply a great opportunity for Hoffenheim!
Chu took their tactics to the extreme, and the last time Sneijder thought he was going to shoot from distance, he turned out to be a direct pass, and then organized a very dangerous attack that forced Cesar to make a brilliant save. This time he received the ball on the edge of the penalty area, and the players of Inter Milan thought that he was going to pass directly, and they were optimistic about their side, but they didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to shoot from a long distance again, and shoot directly from a relatively remote place, and the football really hit the goal frame.
It was Cesar who made a brilliant save to lift the ball over the crossbar!
"Corner!"
Hoffenheim won a corner and the Inter players returned to goal to defend and they discussed the situation facing the team at the moment...... "We have to press out and attack!" You can't be beaten passively in front of the door like this! 'Samuel Eto'o is unhappy with the team's shrinkage.
"Passive defense will concede goals sooner or later!" His ally is striker Diego. Milito, as well as Pandev. As offensive players, they play a small role in defense. The team has not been able to send the football to the front, and they have not been able to play their part. It made them very depressed.
"No, if we press it out, there will be more space for the other party to take advantage of. Have you all forgotten what kind of person Chu is? Samuel disagreed.
'We should stay until the end of the first half and then let the manager tell us what to do!'
"But can we hold on until the end of the first half? Every time they had a shot, I felt like they were going to concede a goal......"
"Haven't we conceded a goal yet? They only scored one goal, which shows that our defence was successful! β
Cesar watched everyone take advantage of this opportunity to still argue, a little impatient, it is not the time to attack or defend, because Hoffenheim's corner is about to be taken.
"What are you doing with the people who are keeping an eye on them!" He shoved Pandev in front of him.
Every corner kick of Hoffenheim is testing the psychological quality of Inter Milan defenders, because they don't know what tactics Hoffenheim's corner kick is, they seem to have prepared dozens of different sets of set-piece tactics to deal with them, the front point, the middle point and the back point are ordinary things that can no longer be ordinary, and the changes in and out of the penalty area are not surprising, Hoffenheim's corner kick tactics look no different, but all have some completely different changes in the details, Let the players of Inter Milan be unguarded.
Remember that Hoffenheim corner at the start of the game? Everyone thought they were going to kick the ball but it went straight to the goal, almost allowing Simunic to score.
This time Chu Zhongtian stood next to the football again, so is this a tactical foot kick or a direct corner kick?
Salihovic soon revealed the answer, and he kicked the football to Chu Zhongtian next to him.
"Make offside!" Lucio shouted and raised his hand to rush forward, signaling the defense to follow him.
Chu Zhongtian didn't pass directly to the penalty area, he passed the long football to the other end of the pitch with his big foot, Kolarov plugged in from behind and received the ball, and it was not offside!
After Kolarov received the ball, he took the ball to the bottom line before McCone was pressing, and he did not cross directly because he was worried about Inter Milan's offside tactics.
This is something that the coaching staff have mentioned to them in training, and if you take this kind of tactical corner, you have to be extra careful of Inter Milan's offside. So when you get the ball, it's not a direct cross, even if there's someone in front of goal, because you're offside. After receiving the ball, you should go down and push yourself close to the bottom line before crossing, so that even if there is a teammate behind the opponent's entire back line, as long as you are closer to the bottom line than him, then this attack is not offside.
This time Kolarov broke down and then crossed, and Van Nistelrooy and Ibisevic formed a double shot in front of goal.
It's a pity that Cesar was highly focused, struck first, preempted Ibisevic, and punched the football out with both fists!
"Oops! It's a pity, Hoffenheim's attack is very threatening! β
β»β»β» Time always flies in such a high-paced game, and when you remember to take a look at the time, it was only six or seven minutes before the end of the first half.
The score was still 1:0, and Hoffenheim, who was playing at home, was temporarily ahead.
But that's not what Hoffenheim want, they want more goals and more leads.
Chu Zhongtian still remembers the first leg of the match between the two sides, the first half played 1:1, it seems that the visiting Hoffenheim performed well, such a result should be very satisfying, but in fact? In the second half, Hoffenheim was defeated by Inter Milan.
Such a scene cannot be repeated again.
Another goal had to be scored before the end of the first half, so that Hoffenheim had more room to manoeuvre even more if things changed in the second half.
But as the end of the first half approached, the divisions within Inter Milan seemed to be disappearing at a rapid pace β and with six or seven minutes left to end the first half, why didn't we hold on? It's been nearly forty minutes, is there still six or seven minutes missing?
The gaps and holes in Inter's defence are closing and disappearing, so how can they break through again?
Chu Zhongtian decided to make another adjustment that his opponent couldn't even think of.
Taking advantage of a dead ball, he gestures to his teammates and makes a code - change formation!
Generally speaking, the decision to change the formation is made by the head coach on the sidelines, but now Rangnick has given Chu Zhongtian the greatest freedom, as a player, he has the right to change the formation and style of play according to the situation on the field. Rangnick's role is to watch him from the sidelines, to see if his adjustment is effective, and if not, to change it back in time so as not to be taken advantage of by the other party.
Chu Zhongtian's change of formation is to change the current team's 442 to 433, and they also play 433, and they are more aggressive.
But his 433 is not to send one of Salihovic or Eduardo to play as a striker. He was the one who went up to play the striker!
The success of the previous free man tactics was that they had a scavenger centre-back suddenly inserted in the attack, giving them one more man in the attack than their opponents, creating an unguardable effect.
If forbidden Chu Zhongtian really wants to let the opponent's forbidden area have one more of himself. He has never played as a striker since his debut, although he used to be a centre-forward in football school, which is too long, and he believes that Mourinho's scouts will not be able to find out about his history. So he doesn't have to worry that Mourinho will be on guard, he must be unthinkable to play as a striker himself, and he can be a qualified spoiler when he enters the penalty area, disrupting Inter Milan's defense and creating opportunities for his teammates.
Chu Zhongtian guessed well, although he used to frequently enter the penalty area to shoot in the game, he was still a midfielder, not a striker.
Now he's going to be a striker.
Of course, this set has also been rehearsed by the team. The coaching staff of Chu Zhongtian and Hoffenheim studied everything that could happen during the game over the course of two weeks, then figured out how to solve it and then trained it.
Hoffenheim's training is inherently intense, and they train even more intensively than the teams in the former Bundesliga. It stands to reason that Hoffenheim's players should be used to this kind of intensity. But in the past two weeks, the players have been complaining because it has been so hard...... But in order to be able to defeat Inter Milan at home, in order to complete the earth-shattering reversal, in order to turn the tables, no matter how hard and tired you are, you have to grit your teeth and endure it.
Hoffenheim quickly completed the change, and when Inter Milan found out, Chu Zhongtian had already completed a header in the penalty area.
Sana was a single midfielder, Eduardo and Salihovic leaned towards the middle, forming an isosceles inverted triangle with Sana on the ribs, leaving the side to Baker and Kolarov, while Ibisevic and Van Nistelrooy went to the wing, and Chu Zhongtian inserted directly into the middle. In the process of switching from defense to attack, Chu Zhongtian retreated to respond, and the formation looked like a 443 with a long diamond-shaped midfielder, and once it hit the opponent's 30-meter area, it became 433.
The reason why Chu Zhongtian made such a change of formation was because he calculated that Inter Milan would defend desperately in the past few minutes, and could not counterattack, and could not pose any threat to Hoffenheim's goal, so Sana could cope with it alone.
β»β»β» Mourinho was the first to discover the new situation on the sidelines, during this time Hoffenheim pressed Inter Milan to attack, and Mourinho was firmly seated in Diaoyutai. But he found that Chu Zhongtian didn't go back most of the time, and he was in the forbidden area, which didn't match his previous performance...... What is it?
He looked at it for a while and found that Hoffenheim had changed formations, 433!
Inter Milan's defense is very uncomfortable with this extra striker, originally Lucio was in charge of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Samuel was in charge of Ibisevic was allocated, but now there is suddenly an extra one, and it is just stuck between Lucio and Samuel, which makes the two people very uncomfortable.
Don't defend, right? Definitely not. Defensive, right? Who's going to defend it? Lucio goes, who will keep an eye on Van Nistelrooy? Samuel goes, and who will defend Ibisevic? Adjust the full-backs to make up for the defense, what about the wings? Hoffenheim's wide attack was quite sharp. The midfielders are back, but are the two forwards, Salihovic and Eduardo, vegetarians? You know, Hoffenheim in today's game can surprise them, give them "surprises", and the devil knows who they will pass to whom at what time and in a low-key manner.
This is a real "pull a hair and move the whole body"...... Chu Zhongtian was like a nail in Inter Milan's heart, making the other party extremely uncomfortable.
Hoffenheim launched an offensive, Chu Zhongtian took a step back, turned his back to the direction of the attack, and looked for Salihovic, who had the ball, to ask for the ball.
As a center forward, one of the most important skills is the ability to hold the ball with his back, there are many forwards, but not many can be a center forward, because not everyone has the ability to hold the ball with their backs. Thanks to the football school training that Chu Zhongtian participated in when he was a child, he still learned some skills of holding the ball with his back.
At this moment he caught the ball from Salihovic and did not rush to turn around, but leaned on the defender, this time it was Samuel who came to defend him, and Ibisevic handed it to McConn, who replaced him with Samuel...... The Inter players around him were already rushing towards him, Samuel was still trying to break the ball behind him, he shook his ankle and passed the ball back quickly, but he did not give it to Salihovic, but to Eduardo on the other side, Eduardo quickly split the ball and gave the ball to Baker on the wing. Baker received the ball and crossed with his feet, the ball hit Zanetti's leg, there was a small line change, Van Nistelrooy who followed up in the middle did not reach the ball, and of course Cesar did not save the ball, and the ball went out of the door, causing a burst of exclamation from the stands.
"It's not going to go on like this...... Mourinho said with a frown.
He really didn't expect the second round to be like this. Your own team is likely to lose or even be eliminated.
"That Chu hit the striker too much to surprise us." The assistant said next to him.
Mourinho nodded in agreement: "We have to find someone to defend him specifically, we can't let him be so active anymore......" He thought for a moment and rushed to the sidelines and shouted to Motta inside: "Motta! You go back to the centre-back! Keep an eye on Chu! β
Hoffenheim changed to 433, and Inter Milan also changed their formation and changed to 523,-for-tat and did not give in to each other.
