Chapter 137: Chu Zhongtian, enter one
readx;
The rain became heavier and heavier, and at first it was broadcast on TV, and it was almost impossible to see the rain on the stadium, but now the TV broadcast is full of silver-white rain lines. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info time is passing minute by minute, and both sides have a chance, but they seem to be a little bit worse.
Hoffenheim were boosted by Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot that hit the post, while Manchester United were equally scrappy because they didn't want to lose at home.
The game is in a heated phase.
"Rooney, Rooney, Rooney!! Yes! Simunic pushed him down! Looks like it's going to be a yellow card! Aha, sure enough, Simunic received a yellow card, which was the third yellow card of the game, and in terms of the number of yellow cards, Hoffenheim temporarily led 2:1......"
'Valencia's breakthrough on the flanks was very sharp...... He crosses! Rooney—"
The huge cheers in the stands instantly turned into sighs.
"He missed!"
'Manchester United won a corner...... During this time, Manchester United's attack was quite fierce, and Hoffenheim retreated with all their members...... Ryan Giggs takes the corner...... It's Rooney again!! Oh! Gone out! Rooney was active, he changed the sluggish form of the first half, and showed his killer nature! ”
Of course, Hoffenheim soon returned to color.
"Sana...... Shot? Pretty! Kutzsac flutters beautifully! He's happy with his performance, but why didn't a single United player go up to defend before Sana could shoot? Do they think that only Chu will shoot from outside the penalty area? Hoffenheim won a corner...... Salihovich ready to open ...... Beforehand! Ibisevic! It's dangerous! ...... off"
Chu cut off Carrick's pass, his position was very accurate, and it looked effortless to stop United's attack! Straight Passes to Impress Attack...... Van Nistelrooy slowed down, oops. If the ball had been Obasi, it might have been. Van Nistelrooy is getting older, and speed isn't his forte......"
Chu fouled Valencia who cut inside and United won a free-kick from goal...... Twenty-five yards, with Ryan Giggs in charge...... It's high! ”
During this time, the two sides came and went, and the fight was very lively. But because of the fierce scramble, the two sides gradually became angry, and took advantage of the slippery field, and the action became bigger and bigger.
Perhaps to ease the tension, in the 68th minute, an upper-body **, wearing a Manchester United fleece cap, rushed into the stadium, of course, he was quickly caught by the stadium security guards and sent off the stadium.
The game resumes.
The tension did not ease with the sudden arrival of a streak, and after the streaker was taken off the field, the fight continued, and the battle continued as usual.
In the 70th minute, Carrick also received a yellow card for tripping Salihovic, and now the two sides have tied 2:2 in terms of yellow cards.
※※※ Chu Zhongtian wiped the water on his face, and he couldn't tell which ones were sweat and which ones were rain.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the impact on the game became more and more significant. The strength of the ground pass is very difficult to control, and when playing in the air, the opponent has Vidic and Ferdinand, two central defenders with excellent headers, Hoffenheim will not take advantage of it...... It's not as good to dribble as it used to be. The only good thing seems to be left is that the long-range shot is more threatening.
Manchester United obviously knew that too, so they stepped up their long-range shots. In the space of a few minutes, United had two attacking chances that ended in long-range shots.
It wasn't like the players were on their own, and if he guessed correctly, it was a special instruction from United manager Alex Ferguson at half-time. Just like Rangnick said to him. In fact, there is nothing strange about this, how long shots are in the rain, even ordinary fans know, how can the most professional coaches not know to take advantage of it?
Chu Zhongtian felt that his shooting today felt very good, but his luck was not on his side. Went just wide, hit the post and was saved by the goalkeeper...... Anyway, I just can't get into the goal.
But he didn't decide to give up, he still had to shoot. He also wanted Coach Rangnick to see if he needed to be careful of Fletcher...... If you don't score, it's not convincing.
※※※ "The game is so intense......" In the stands, Boss John and the others were discussing the game, and it was dead ball time, so they had time to chat.
"yes, yes, to be honest, I didn't expect Hoffenheim to push Manchester United into this position before the game......"
"Stupid!" Someone interrupted him, "With Chu here, what's impossible?" I never doubted Hoffenheim's strength because they had Chu! ”
"Speaking of Chu, his shot ** today is very strong, but his luck doesn't seem to be very good...... There were several dangerous shots on goal, but none of them scored. ”
'If he can score a goal, it will be a perfect game.'
"Yes, Chu, let's score a goal!"
"Let's score a goal, Chu!"
"Goal!"
"Score, Chu!"
Everyone's voices gradually converged, and then formed a uniform and rhythmic shout: "Goal, goal, Chuchu!" Score, score, Chuchu! ”
The sound became louder and louder, slowly affecting the surrounding German fans, although German and English are not the same, but the writing and pronunciation of the word "goal" is still similar, as for "Chu", there is no difference, so the Germans understood what the British were shouting, and they also shouted.
In fact, this is also the voice of Hoffenheim fans. Now the two sides are white-hot, but they are in some kind of stalemate, and everyone has a chance, but no one can pierce that layer of window paper. If Chu Zhongtian can score, he can break the deadlock, which is of course good.
Suddenly there was a shouting of the fans on the pitch, and the singing of the United fans was intermittent, but everyone could still hear what they were shouting.
This sentence is translated into the Chinese arena, that is: "Chu Zhongtian, enter one!" Chu Zhongtian, enter one!! ”
Chu Zhongtian naturally heard it too, and he laughed. It seems that the fans also think that he shot very high today, but he was unlucky, and hope that he can break the shackles of this luck and score a goal.
Okay, let's get one!
When Hoffenheim attacked, Chu Zhongtian ran without the ball and inserted it in front, and then he raised his hand to ask his teammates for the ball. After his team-mate passed the ball, he turned and shot without the slightest pause, this time shooting slightly higher, and the ball flew off the bottom line against the crossbar, once again shocking Kutssak and the United fans into a cold sweat.
Chu Zhongtian found one thing in this shot - he seemed to have a higher grasp of those difficult shots.
Think about it, your own fame game, playing Chelsea in the FA Cup. The second goal he scored, overtaking the score, and the final winning goal was after several people in a row, and was hit hard from the side by Lampard, who lost his balance and struggled to shoot while trying to maintain his center of gravity, and the result was a ball of surprisingly high quality, directly through the goal guarded by Cudicini.
In the second leg against Bayern Munich last season, that match could well have decided the league title. It was again in the final moments of the game, when he was fouled by two Bayern Munich players in a row, staggered with the ball, faced the defense of Lucio and Van Bitten, and suddenly got up to his feet and scored the winning goal for the team.
For most players, it is better to have the time and space to adjust their shots, to be able to shoot calmly, and to score more goals, and it is easy to shoot the ball out of the way in the heat of the fight, or simply put the anti-aircraft gun. But for Chu Zhongtian, his body seems to be particularly partial to this kind of difficult and irregular shooting action.
Fletcher defended him very tightly in this game, and Carrick was also watching from the sidelines, ready to pinch him at any time. He was under a lot of defensive pressure in attack, but it gave him good conditions to shoot...... Chu Zhongtian continued to reach out for the ball.
When Hoffenheim is attacking, if Chu Zhongtian doesn't raise his hand to ask for the ball, then everyone will pass the ball according to their own ideas, but once Chu Zhongtian raises his hand to ask for the ball, then no matter what the situation is, his teammates will pass the ball to him. That's something that Rangnick has repeatedly emphasised in training, but it's also something you've learned from the past season.
Anyway, if he raises his hand to ask for the ball, it means that he has a solution to the problem, so give him the football. We just need to cooperate with him.
As the clock ticked on, Manchester United's defence became tighter and tighter. It was also Ferguson's adjustment at half-time. After finding out that Chu Zhongtian's goal today was higher than in the past, although Ferguson was not sure that this was deliberately arranged by Rangnick, or Chu Zhongtian occasionally came to be interested, but for safety reasons, he still made targeted arrangements. That is, when the game time enters seventy minutes, it will strengthen the prevention of Chu Zhongtian's shot.
Ferguson does know Chu Zhongtian very well, and knows that Chu Zhongtian will often score goals near the end of the game. This is because Chu Zhongtian's physical fitness is very good, when there is not much time left in the game, his opponents often have little strength because they have been running for seventy or eighty minutes, and they are prone to empty spaces in defense and lack of concentration due to physical decline, and make mistakes. He is still full of energy and a powerful runner, so he will be able to take advantage of these openings and the opponent's wrong goals.
So after entering the seventieth minute of this game, Chu Zhongtian obviously felt that Fletcher and Carrick were pressing tighter and closer when defending themselves. In the past, they would always have one person on the perimeter to defend their own passes.
It's about stopping yourself from shooting and scoring.
But didn't they think that if they were forced up like this, there would be a big gap in other places? And using passing to mobilize opponents is what Chu Zhongtian is best at.
In the 75th minute, Manchester United launched an attack all the way to the edge of the Hoffenheim penalty area, and Rooney's long-range shot was firmly held by Hildebrand. Immediately after him, Hildebrand jumped up from the ground and threw the football in front.
Sana's header was ferried to Chu Zhongtian, who used his chest to stop the ball in the air, by this time Carrick had already rushed up, and Fletcher was still behind the center circle and did not press forward rashly.
In the face of Carrick's defense, Chu Zhongtian did not continue to dribble the ball, he used his chest to stop the football from the air, and with his right foot below, he directly passed the football that had not yet landed to Eduardo, who was diagonally in front. Although this small action does not look as conspicuous as stepping on a bicycle, it can very well reflect Chu Zhongtian's ball sense, after four seasons of training in Ligue 1, he has been trained by Zidane's mentor, and his skills have improved by leaps and bounds. In addition, his psychological quality is excellent, so he dares to do some difficult actions in the game, while ordinary players are afraid of mistakes and are unwilling to try these difficult actions.
This action is not very eye-catching if you don't look at the slow release, but it saves time, so that Carrick didn't have time to stick it up and break the ball, after passing the ball, Chu Zhongtian continued to run forward, and Carrick also turned around and followed. Ferguson asked them to compress Chu Zhongtian's time and space in defence, and did not give him the opportunity to handle the ball calmly. He is to do so.
Eduardo received the ball, Fletcher glanced at Chu Zhongtian, and finally decided to defend Eduardo. Chu Zhongtian only has the possibility of receiving the ball, but Eduardo has already received the ball, as a defensive player, it is impossible to throw the ball control player in order to defend a player who may participate in the attack. Eduardo had planned to use his footwork past Fletcher and was excited to play against a team like Manchester United. I want to show myself in front of the big teams. So he rushed forward with the ball and was going to pass Fletcher.
Fletcher did not come up directly to pounce, but was very experienced in following back, delaying time, buying time for his teammates' return to defense, and he did not forget to defend Eduardo while glancing at Chu Zhongtian with his eyes, he saw Chu Zhongtian running along the middle of the road towards Manchester United's penalty area after passing the ball.
Eduardo saw that he was getting closer and closer to the penalty area, but the opponent still didn't come up, just retreated, and planned to change direction and break through. But as soon as he looked up, he saw Chu Zhongtian, who was following in the middle of the road, raised his hand.
Although he really wanted to make a personal breakthrough, but seeing Chu Zhongtian raise his hand, he hesitated for a moment and passed the football over.
Chu Zhongtian's timing of running and asking for the ball was very accurate, but he didn't count Eduardo's hesitation, so when Eduardo passed the football, he ran over...... He had to make a sharp stop to turn and regain possession. That gave Carrick and Fletcher time to get back on the fence. By the time Chu Zhongtian turned his back to control the football, Fletcher was already behind him, and Carrick was rushing over from the front to break the ball.
Originally, Chu Zhongtian planned to pass the football to Eduardo, but he took advantage of the fact that Fletcher and Carrick were not chasing after him, and shot directly from a distance without stopping. With this kind of difficult shot, he always feels extraordinarily good.
Thinking of Eduardo's hesitation, he lost the opportunity to shoot directly. However, he was quick to react, and when he saw that Carrick was about to break his ball, he turned the ball to the left and dodged to chase it himself.
Carrick couldn't make a single blow and turned to continue the chase, and Fletcher followed.
Chu Zhongtian caught up with the ball, turned around and stretched out his right foot, as if he was going to continue to play the ball, facing Chu Zhongtian's Fletcher to take the first step to get stuck in the route, and Carrick waited for the opportunity to interfere with the ball from behind.
Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian turned around, but his right foot slammed the football back!
At the same time, his left foot was the bottom of the turf, and he kicked again, turning up a large piece of turf. With his right foot stretched out again, he gently slipped the ball out of the way, dodging Carrick's foot from behind. He turned and smashed the ball and shook both Fletcher and Carrick away at the same time!
"Beautiful! It's beautiful! ”
Chu Zhongtian, who had deducted his opponent, was facing the goal again, and Carrick had already raised his hand in surrender. But Fletcher was unwilling to give up, that was not his style, so he struggled to turn his center of gravity and pounce on Chu Zhongtian. Helplessly, the field was slippery, and as soon as he turned his center of gravity, he felt that his supporting feet slipped, and his body, which had lost all its support, fell to the ground, and he could only chase Chu Zhongtian with his eyes.
Rio Ferdinand was going to step back into the box to defend Ruud van Nistelrooy or Ibisevic. Anyway, Chu Zhongtian handed it over to Fletcher and Carrick, and there were two people defending him, couldn't he still be good?
He didn't think that he had just taken a step back, and he saw Carrick and Fletcher fall to the ground one after another, while Chu Zhongtian broke through the encirclement and killed with the ball!
It was too late for him to change his center of gravity and rush up to defend, his feet slipped, and although he didn't fall, he lost all momentum. The body stiffened, unable to move on to the next step.
But it would be wrong to say that Chu Zhongtian is now completely unmarked, because Giggs is back in place and is approaching Chu Zhongtian.
Judging from his speed and posture, he intended to fly and shovel Chu Zhongtian. If Chu Zhongtian rounded his thigh and shot a long shot, although the strength was very strong, the speed was too slow, and the football might have been shoveled away by Giggs before he could hit it.
Chu Zhongtian looked down at the football under his feet, as if he didn't know the situation behind him at all. He lifted his legs...... Giggs fell to the ground and made a tackle, stretching his foot towards the football shovel.
According to common sense, Chu Zhongtian's feet should be picked up a little more, so that he can exert his strength. But he only lifted his calf, and his thigh didn't move at all, and then he flicked it back like a loosened bowstring!
Shot!
When Chu Zhongtian was facing the goal on the side, he suddenly shot with the outside of the penalty area with the outside of his right instep!
No one expected him to shoot in this way without any power in his thighs, and Giggs's tackle was noticeably slow, and when he tackled, he didn't touch anything but air. Chu Zhongtian's feet were raised in the air, dodging his kick.
Because it was hit by the outside instep, the ball flew in the air towards the bottom line on the outside of the goalpost, and it looked like it was going to fly straight out of bounds. But halfway through the game, the ball changed the line, drew an arc, bypassed Ferdinand, and also got out of the situation of asking for the bottom line, and went straight to the goal!
Goalkeeper Kutssac was blocked by Ferdinand, and when he saw the ball coming back, it was too late to pounce, and the ball flew into the goal by grazing the inside of the post!
"Ball...... The ball is in! The ball is in!! ”
“goooooal! gooooooooal!! Hoffenheim is leading again!! ”
The ball slammed into the net and spun to stir the net together, causing a silvery white splash. Kutssac only fell to the ground at this point, and Ferdinand turned to look at the goal, still in the same stiff posture as he had just been.
This scene was as if the picture had been frozen, Chu Zhongtian still maintained the action of shooting, Giggs fell to the ground and flew to the shovel, and the splash of water around him froze in the air. And apart from this scene, there was no sound.
Soon the picture returned to normal, and all the voices returned, and in the midst of a brief silence at Old Trafford, a voice suddenly sounded like a volcanic eruption.
“its_my_chu――!!”
