Chapter 172: Quick

readx;

Chu Zhongtian hopes that his team can withstand Inter Milan's counterattack, and then continue to find a way to break through Inter Milan's defense. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But he didn't wait.

In the eighteenth minute, Hoffenheim's goal was finally lost under the attack of Inter Milan.

It was a corner, Sneijder drove the ball into the box, Hoffenheim was in a mess in front of goal, Inter Milan centre-back Lucio pressed Simunic to head the goal, the football was saved by Hildbrand, but the ball was not saved from the bottom line, or out of the box, but fell in the box.

At this time Inter Milan's Argentine striker Diego. Milito seized the opportunity and stabbed with his feet smartly, and the football flew into the goal from the crowd, 1:0!

There was a huge cheer at the Meazza Stadium.

Within twenty minutes, Inter took the lead, which was a good start.

"The ball is in! The ball went in - Diego. Milito !! The Inter Milan commentator on the scene shouted with passion. gooooooooooooooooooooooal!!! ”

"Inter Milan are ahead! Milito broke Inter Milan's shameful record of not scoring a single knockout goal in five games in three years! They finally scored in the knockout stages! ”

'It's a good sign, Jose Mourinho's side look like they're looking to break all the embarrassing records tonight!'

After the goal, the Inter Milan players looked excited, obviously they all knew about the "shameful record" and wanted to vent it.

Now they have got their wish.

Hoffenheim were in a difficult situation when they were playing away from home, and after almost 20 minutes, their attack was slow to find rhythm and direction, and the goal was penetrated by the opponent first...... Hoffenheim have always been good at playing when they are ahead, how will they perform when they are ahead......" The German commentator was worried about Hoffenheim.

It was the final matchday of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, with two other teams from Germany winning and drawing one in the previous fixtures, with Bayern Munich beating Fiorentina 2-1 at home and Stuttgart being held to a 1-1 draw by Barcelona at their own home. In the second leg, Stuttgart basically has no hope of continuing to advance, is it possible that the honor of German football can only be defended by Bayern Munich in the end?

Seeing the goal, Mourinho also jumped up from his seat and raised his arms in cheers.

Rangnick next to him looked annoyed.

※※※ Inter Milan showed everyone watching this game a different kind of counter-attack - they don't shrink back and wait for the opponent to attack, and then look at the open space behind the opponent to counter-attack. They defended aggressively, with Inter Milan players tackling from the front to the back, which made the Hoffenheim players very uncomfortable, and they did not have the freedom to play on the pitch, which would greatly reduce the effectiveness of the game.

After taking the lead, Inter Milan did not press out to attack, but continued to insist on their "defensive counterattack", relying on the back three to intercept and limit Chu Zhongtian, and once Hoffenheim was paralyzed, they immediately hit their vital points with sharp attacks.

Chu Zhongtian found that the players of Inter Milan paid attention to the priority of the fouls, although some balls fell down by themselves, and the opponent did foul, but they were not enough to get a yellow card.

It seems that this is also what Mourinho's coach told them in advance...... Damn, I've really been thoroughly studied by the other party!

Still, what else can I do? can only continue to seek opportunities between the three people.

Chu Zhongtian didn't believe that he couldn't find that kind of opportunity, and he didn't believe that the players of Inter Milan could maintain that kind of form from beginning to end in the 90-minute high-intensity game...... Wait a minute? Ninety minutes of intense throughout?

Chu Zhongtian suddenly thought of something.

Will Inter's defence be able to maintain this compactness and chemistry at all times? Can it really be?

He doesn't believe there are players and teams in the world who can play 90 minutes without making a single mistake or a single hole.

If not, it must be that the pressure on the other side is not enough.

I only cared about entangled with the other party's three backs, how could I forget this?

It's too narrow to focus on only three people...... Chu Zhongtian continued to lead the breakthrough, and seemed to want to make a foul, but when the opponent pounced, he suddenly passed the ball and passed the football to the feet of Sana next to him.

Then he stopped and turned around and ran in the other direction.

Motta thought he was going to keep catching the ball, so he followed him closely.

But he gestured to Sana behind him, asking him not to pass the football to himself, as for who to pass it to, it was Sana's own business, and he couldn't control it.

How else would Chu Zhongtian recommend letting Rangnick buy Sana to partner with him? The two of them have that special tacit understanding, and they don't need to say it to know.

Sana saw Chu Zhongtian followed by a Mota, and knew that the ball could not be passed to him, so he turned around and passed the football to the feet of Salihovic on the other side. Salihovic crossed with his feet, Ibyševic almost got the ball, and Samuel scrambled to head it out.

Corner kick!

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the dead ball, Chu Zhongtian called several teammates around him, and it was impossible for him to call everyone in the team to his side and command. You can only say it to a few people first, and then pass it on.

'We're going to improve our attacking tempo.' He said to everyone. "I'm sorry, we didn't find the rhythm before, it's all my fault. Now we're going to change that. I'm going to be very quick with my passing, so I need everyone to work with me. ”

"That's good!" Ibisevic clenched his fists and shouted. "It's still going to suit us! You don't have to say, Chu, we adapt to fast football, ha! ”

Others agreed.

"Then it's decided, let's pass and run, and use our fast to tear through their defenses!"

Everyone agreed.

Everyone else left, but Chu Zhongtian grabbed Salihovic, and he still had something to say about this corner.

"Sayyad, don't drive this ball straight to the goal. Their center-back air defense is excellent. ”

"You mean tactical corners?" Salihovich asked.

Chu Zhongtian nodded. "Give me the football, I'll organize the attack, and we'll play them a quick attack in a 30-meter area!"

Salihovic found Chu Zhongtian's statement funny, and he laughed too.

He ran to take a corner kick, but Chu Zhongtian didn't run after him, but stood on the side, still a certain distance from the corner kick area - he didn't want to be too obvious and show the other party his intentions.

Inter Milan's door was crowded into a ball, and Chu Zhongtian didn't go in to join in the fun. Salihovic didn't get the ball there either. He swept the football directly to the periphery of the penalty area and fell to Chu Zhongtian's feet.

Watching the football fly towards Chu Zhongtian, Cambiaso bypassed Sana, who was blocking him, from the penalty area, and rushed towards Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian saw Cambiaso and was about to hit the goal, causing Cambiaso to fly and block the eye, but he slammed the football and buckled the Argentine back, and then passed the football out again without waiting for the other Inter Milan players to form an encirclement for him!

Instead of passing the ball to the wing, he passed a through ball!

The ball passed under the feet of the two Inter players in the ribs, and at the same time, Azavag cut through the back line of Inter's overall forward pressure diagonally!

"Beautiful anti-offside!"

"Chu finally sent a through ball that was of sufficient level!"

"Wow! Pretty! It's beautiful! The commentators exclaimed.

When Azavag received the ball, there were also Inter Milan players raising their hands to signal that the opponent was offside, because they did not expect Hoffenheim to attack so quickly and resolutely.

After receiving the ball, Azavag turned to face the goal and shot straight at the goal!

The soccer ball was played by Julio. Cesar saves and it's another corner!

"Wow! Hoffenheim finally have a chance to threaten Inter's goal! ”

There was a huge exclamation from the Inter fans in the stands, who almost thought their team's lead was about to be lost. Azawag, on the other hand, held his head in his hands, regretting that he had missed this great opportunity.

"In the duel between the three backs of Inter Milan, Chu Zhongtian finally won one round!" China's commentator He Ping values Chu Zhongtian's personal performance.

Cambiaso got up and looked at his somewhat embarrassed teammate Cesar, knowing that he had been tricked by Chu Zhongtian.

Football is so unfair, no matter how many times an offensive player is blocked by a defender, a defensive player will not deserve as much praise as an offensive player once in a while.

When Hoffenheim took another corner, Cambiaso did not retreat into the penalty area, but stayed by Chu Zhongtian's side, and Chu Zhongtian was still standing in the position he had stood before. This time, though, Salihovic didn't kick the ball to him, but sent it straight to goal, and Van Nistelrooy headed it high and Hoffenheim's attack ended there.

※※※Although there was no goal, Chu Zhongtian and Hoffenheim's teammates gained confidence through this attack. Inter's defence is not entirely without holes, and they will have some unexpected holes against Hoffenheim, who have suddenly changed their tempo.

"That's it!" The Hoffenheim players encouraged each other.

Mourinho couldn't continue to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai because of the holes in the defense just now, and he rushed to the sidelines to lash out at the defense.

"What the fuck are you guys doing?! Don't give him that chance! ”

He soon discovered that it wasn't their players who were defensively weak, but Hoffenheim who were getting motivated and seemed to be on the right track.

Chu Zhongtian passed the ball as soon as he got the ball, then ran quickly, continued to receive the pass from his teammates, and then passed it quickly. It's not just him, it's the other players around him like this - passing fast and running, suddenly becoming positive, making the Inter players unable to adapt for a while.

"Chu received the ball, passed! Sana. Azawag. Clear. Salihovich. Kolarov ...... Clear. Van Nistelrooy - Missed! ”

"Chu doesn't stop the ball and passes the ball directly, Motta fouls him! The referee blew the whistle and stopped the game! He gave Motta a verbal warning, but the Hoffenheim players were not satisfied, they thought Motta deserved a yellow card for this foul! ”

"Hoffenheim's performance suddenly improved, which is related to Chu Zhongtian's activity. Could it be that he has found a way to deal with Inter's back three? ”

Chu Zhongtian got up from the ground, and he didn't complain to the referee about why he didn't give Motta a yellow card, because judging from this foul, he touched the sore spot of Inter Milan.

This kind of fast football, Inter Milan has a certain difficulty to deal with.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian guessed about the same, Mourinho has always regarded Barcelona as an imaginary enemy and formulated this set of tactics. However, there is still a difference between Barcelona football and Hoffenheim's football, Barcelona's football focuses on field control, a lot of ball control, the offensive rhythm is not fast, the scene is gorgeous, full of master style and artist temperament. Hoffenheim's football, on the other hand, blindly pursues speed, with the posture of "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", without the style of a master and the banner of an artist, but with a worker's spirit that is not afraid of heaven and earth.

These are actually two different kinds of football.

Hoffenheim continued to attack, and Chu Zhongtian became the target of Inter Milan's focus.

In the twenty-seventh minute, Inter Milan finally received a yellow card on him.

Mota brought down Chu Zhongtian from behind on one occasion and received a yellow card.

"It was Inter's first yellow card of the game and the first yellow card of the game. The referee was a bit soft...... "The German commentator complained. "Motta keeps kicking Chu, and now he is only getting cards......"

Inter fans were just as unhappy with the referee's decision, feeling that the yellow card should not have been given. Seeing him play his cards at Motta, the stands burst into boos. Poor referee, both sides are not pleased.

Hoffenheim's free-kick was taken by Salihovic, whose direct free-kick was deflected wide of the back of the net.

Then Inter Milan attacked him, but the football was stopped on the line of Chu Zhongtian and Sana. Sana and Chu Zhongtian teamed up to break Sneijder's ball.

When Chu Zhongtian is on the defensive, his defensive ability will be shown, and in the face of these two people, no matter how good Sneijder is, he can only lose.

Chu Zhongtian took the ball and took it forward, now it is far from the opponent's penalty area, there is no need to pass and run quickly. However, he is not slow to dribble the ball, in order to be as fast as possible.

Motta pressed again, having just received a yellow card, as if it didn't matter to him at all. It seems that Mourinho's order to them is to freeze themselves no matter what the situation.

Chu Zhongtian did not entangle with Mota, although he may make another foul, but it is unlikely that the referee will show yellow cards to the same person in such a quick time. So if you want Mota to go down, don't think about it at the moment.

He watched as Motta pressed up and sent the ball to the wing, where Azavag got the ball and wanted to break through.

After passing the ball, Chu Zhongtian ran diagonally to Azawag to respond. If Azavag can do it himself, he will do it himself, and if he can't do it, he will take it himself.

Azavag faced the experienced Zanetti and had no choice.

At the same time, he also knows that he can't stop, and once he stops, Inter's defence will take shape. So he passed the football to Chu Zhongtian, who came up to pick him up.

Chu Zhongtian had seen through Inter Milan's defense before that. Since they have just broken Sneijder's ball, the formation of the whole Inter Milan team is still in the stage of switching from attack to defense, and it is not fully formed, so there are still opportunities to take advantage of it.

He received the ball and turned around and played the long ball to the other side. He had passed the ball before Cambiaso pounced, apparently too late.

Salihovic sent in a low cross, but to the surprise of Lucio and Samuel, he didn't pass the ball high, and the ball arced against the turf and rolled towards the box!

McConn, who was in charge of defending Salihovic, was deceived and jumped high to block the cross with his body, but the ball slipped under his feet...... "It was a beautiful attack!" ”

Samuel ran past because Salihovic didn't pass the ball directly to goal, and the ball flew quickly behind him. He could only turn his head and chase the football with his eyes...... He saw the ball roll near the penalty spot, where a Hoffenheim player and an Inter Milan player appeared.

Inter Milan's defence was a little stunned by Hoffenheim's series of rapid shifts, and even forgot to provide multiple protections in the penalty area, and there was a large gap in front of the back line. And such a vacancy will naturally be used by Chu Zhongtian, after passing the ball, he ran diagonally towards the penalty area, intending to insert it.

Sure enough, when Salihovic passed the football over, there was no one in front of him, and in the face of such a good opportunity, how could he miss it?

Chu Zhongtian, who was wearing the away white jersey, was competing with Cambiaso to occupy advantageous terrain. He's managed to get Cambiaso behind him, now all he has to do is resist the pressure and shoot!

Cambiaso knew that it was impossible for him to break Chu Zhongtian's ball, all he could do now was to interfere and do everything possible to interfere with Chu Zhongtian!

The football passed, and Ibisevic and Van Nistelrooy attracted Inter Milan's central defenders for Chu Zhongtian, and now Chu Zhongtian only needs to deal with Cambiaso.

He didn't round his thigh volley on the run, and in the penalty area, such a slow action only gave the defenders a chance to break the ball. Almost without warning, he shot straight at goal on the run!

Cambiaso was half a beat late, and it was too late to get his foot down to interfere...... The ball flew between Ibisevic and Lucio, and when the ball flew over, Ibisevic reflexively shrunk back, and the ball passed by his side and flew straight to the goal!

"This is Chu's shot-" the German commentator shouted in a long voice.

Cesar was blocked by Lucio and Ibisevic, and Chu Zhongtian's shot was sudden and swift.

By the time he found the ball coming through Ibisevic's waist, it was too late...... All he could do was pray that the ball would either hit the post or go wide.

But it couldn't be, the ball went straight over the goal line and crashed headlong into the net!

“gooooooooooooal!!!” The German narrator yelled excitedly. "Hoffenheim finally equalised! In the 33rd minute, they equalized at the Meazza Stadium! 1:1! ”

"Chu-Zhong-Tian!!" He Ping was also passionate. 'It's his fourth goal in the Champions League this season! The four goals were all against the giants, three for Manchester United and one for Inter Milan! He is a well-deserved killer of wealthy families! He is...... Mr. Key! ”

"It's completely unthinkable...... From the start of the game, everyone thought that Inter were in control and it was only a matter of time before they won the game. Unexpectedly, in these few minutes, the situation on the field changed abruptly, Hoffenheim became active, and Chu was the root of all this! His goal equalised the scoreline and now the two sides are back on the same page! ”

"I just want to see Mourinho's face at this time! Aha! Chu scored, scored for Mourinho's team! ”

After the goal, Chu Zhongtian was very excited, he scored in the knockout stage in front of such a powerful opponent, which is a great achievement!

He rushed to the stands of Inter Milan fans and waved his fists at them in a demonstration. And in the face of such an opponent, the fans of Inter Milan began to let out crazy boos and curses after being stunned for a second.

"Don't be complacent, bastard!" Countless middle fingers were raised at him.

But at least at this moment, Chu Zhongtian was indeed very proud, and there was really nothing he could do about them being proud......
