Chapter 136: Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance

readx;

Hoffenheim's lead was actually expected by Ferguson, with Hoffenheim's strength and Chu Zhongtian, Ferguson believes that they can do it. The key to the game www.biquge.info Pen Fun is not whether Hoffenheim will not take the lead or score, but what the final result will be.

So Hoffenheim's lead despite the excitement of their own fans and players, even their head coach Rangnick. But Ferguson remained unmoved in the chair of the dugout.

The Hoffenheim players were still excited after celebrating their goal, waving their fists at the fans in the stands as they ran back to the pitch.

To be able to score and take the lead at Old Trafford is something they could not have imagined a year ago, and it has now become a reality. But if you want to talk about things that you didn't dare to think of before, they have been through many times this year, playing against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, lifting the Bundesliga trophy, qualifying for the Champions League, hosting Champions League matches on their home turf...... It makes them so excited every time. It's no wonder that some people disdainfully call them the "hillbilly team", they really seem to be a bunch of hillbillies who have never seen the world. But who says hillbillies can't achieve great things?

After the game restarted, Chu Zhongtian kept playing with rotten socks. One of the socks that was broken by Fletcher fell and fell at his feet, floating with Chu Zhongtian's running, which was very eye-catching. The TV broadcast specially gave Chu Zhongtian a close-up of his calf, allowing the audience to see how ruthless Fletcher's kick was just now.

The two blood marks on the tattered socks were clearly visible, and people couldn't help but frown.

Chu Zhongtian didn't care about the socks and his injury at all, because Manchester United launched a crazy counterattack after conceding the goal. Their goal infuriated the arrogant crowd. Manchester United dominate the Premier League, the most successful team since the Premier League's inception, and they are favourites in Europe. To be led by Hoffenheim on their home turf was like being beaten by a small team they had never heard of before, an unacceptable disgrace.

Ferguson didn't say anything, but the players fought back with all their might.

During this time, Manchester United attacked quite fiercely, and Hoffenheim had to retreat with all their strength.

United's ferocious attack soon paid off, and in the 60th minute, United's Wayne Rooney dropped back to receive the ball, then turned forward and was tackled by Sana on the edge of the box. The referee not only awarded United a direct free-kick, but also gave Sana a yellow card.

The free-kick was taken by Ryan Giggs. Since David Beckham is gone, Giggs' ability to take free-kicks has been tapped and his free-kick ability has been good.

Sure enough, Giggs's direct free-kick from 22 yards out hit the wall-man Ibisevic, deflected and crashed into the bottom left corner of the net. For this sudden change of line, goalkeeper Hildebrand could not do anything but watch the football fly into the goal...... "goooooooooal!!" Giggs! Ryan. Giggs!! In the 60th minute, they equalised four minutes after Manchester United conceded a goal! "This time it's England's turn to be excited." At this critical moment, veterans are really needed to stand up! ”

'Ryan Giggs scored a timely goal and he helped the team calm their mood. The goal brought stability to the Reds and the two sides are now back on the same page. When He Ping said this, there was disappointment in his tone that could not be concealed. He wants Hoffenheim to be ahead for a little longer, and it would be better if he could lead until the end of the game. Of course, this is just an extravagant hope, but how good it would be to be a little more ahead and make him, a Chinese commentator, a little more proud...... It's a pity that the reality is cruel. Manchester United showed their ability to equalise after just four minutes of trailing. As he said, the goal came at a timely time, greatly boosting the morale of Manchester United, and at the same time dealing a severe blow to the fledgling fighting spirit of Hoffenheim's side. It was a double win...... *※※ Giggs' goal really hit the morale of the Hoffenheim players. Originally, after taking the lead, everyone was very excited, and their minds were full of "We are ahead of Manchester United!" We're ahead of them on their home turf! Such a thought, even excitedly forgot about the game, the result ...... In fact, Sana didn't have to foul just now, if it wasn't for the fact that the person who assisted the defense was not in place, Sana would have put Rooney in the penalty area without fouling. Everybody knows Rooney's level and once he gets into the box and heads straight towards goal, everybody knows what to expect. Therefore, Sana's foul was completely out of necessity, he was wiping the ass of his teammates who did not help defend in place, and he should not be blamed and criticized, nor should he be responsible for the goal conceded.

They were so excited that they forgot they were facing a team that had won two Champions Leagues and eighteen domestic league titles.

Seeing the Manchester United players celebrating their goals, the Hoffenheim players were stunned and had not yet recovered from the blow. This kind of falling from the clouds to the bottom is not pleasant, and it is easy to discourage people's enthusiasm.

Everyone thought of all the hard work to score a goal, and at the same time to have good luck, but the opponent equalized so quickly. People are more popular than people, and when you compare them like this, you feel as if there is no hope...... You need to be calm when you're proud, but you need confidence and encouragement when you're frustrated.

That's what the captain does, and the manager is far away after all, and he can't help the players regain confidence in the first place. As the "manager on the field", the captain must complete part of the manager's job.

Chu Zhongtian took out the football that fell in the net, and then waved his fist at his teammates.

"Afraid of what? Let's just score again! When he got to the front, he said to Salihovic again: "Pass me the ball in a moment!" ”

As a captain, you have to have the courage to ask for the ball, control the ball and pass the ball at key moments. Otherwise, how can your teammates trust you?

Salihovich nodded. When the team encounters difficulties, they give all the problems to Chu Zhongtian for consideration, which has gradually become the habit of Hoffenheim players, and those new players are not used to it, but the players who have been cooperating with Chu Zhongtian for a season have become accustomed to it.

Chu Zhongtian knew that the promises made in words were insignificant, and everyone was very fragile and skeptical because of the trust in your words. Actions are the key, and if you can't match the promises you made in your words, your teammates' trust in you will gradually crumble, and eventually you will have no authority in the eyes of your teammates. A person who speaks beautifully, but is weak at a critical moment, cannot become a leader, at least not a leader who is convincing from the heart.

So in order to really boost the morale of his teammates, he had to act in the following games.

※※※ The game resumes with Hoffenheim kick-off.

Now United have learned enough to know that Hoffenheim are good at taking advantage of the kick-off. So this time Rooney rushed up to defend not only a simple sweep, but a serious close defense!

Don't underestimate Rooney's defensive ability, he is really an all-round player and works the defensive end. The first two seasons why Cristiano. Ronaldo's beauty is because Rooney sacrificed his scoring ability and did his best in assists and defense, so Ronaldo was able to run freely in the front line, scoring 42 goals in one season. Of course, Ronaldo's all-round and super personal technical ability is also one of the important conditions.

But Ronaldo is not good at defending and does not like to defend. Rooney doesn't care about that, he can do whatever the manager tells him to do, and he does it well. Up front, he was also able to be very involved defensively.

Now when Chu Zhongtian just received a return pass from his teammates, Rooney pressed up.

Chu Zhongtian thought at first that Rooney was just coming up to make a show, so he didn't pass the ball in time, and when he found out that he was entangled by Rooney, he couldn't get the ball out quickly.

I had to rely on my own in-situ skills to get rid of Rooney.

In terms of physical fitness, Rooney did not lose to Chu Zhongtian at all, so Chu Zhongtian could not rely on a simple and reasonable collision to create a chance for himself to get rid of it. He couldn't even lean on Rooney to protect the ball, because as soon as Rooney rushed up, he put a huge pressure on him, pressing him under him, so that he could only hunch over the ball and could not look up.

This kind of defense is the action of walking on the edge of a foul, as long as Chu Zhongtian falls to the ground, the referee's whistle will sound ten times. But Chu Zhongtian is not the kind of player who likes to use the method of showing weakness to fight for benefits, if the opponent is strong, he must be stronger. So he held his legs firmly as if they were under the turf, and instead of falling forward, he tried to fend off Rooney's attack from behind.

It's just that the action of two people looks a little ambiguous...... Generally speaking, if the player cannot look up and observe, the defense is basically successful, and as long as one more person comes up to help grab the ball, the ball basically changes hands.

But Chu Zhongtian is not an ordinary player, and it will not work when applied to him in general.

He doesn't need to look up to see what's going on around him, he can even know what's going on on the whole pitch.

So Rooney grabbed him behind his back and forced him to bow his head and bend over, Chu Zhongtian could still know his current situation. He knew that Giggs had flanked him from the left and was going to flank him. He also knew that Sana was next to him, shouting at him, the stadium was too noisy for him to hear. But his position was blocked by Ryan Giggs, so he couldn't pass the ball to him, and now he can't pass the ball over the top in this position.

And what about other places? The closest to him was centre-back Pogatts, just five metres behind him, but there was a Rooney between the two of them. What about passing the ball forward? Carrick was stuck in the passing lane, his position was well chosen, and it was a critical point.

It seems unlikely that you will be able to dribble the ball by passing the ball...... In fact, the most important thing to get out of the predicament is to move, and you can never get rid of it if you stand still.

After Chu Zhongtian pushed Rooney with his hand, he gently knocked the ball forward. His posture makes the action a little ugly, but anyway, the football is moving, and if you move, you have a chance.

Rooney saw that Chu Zhongtian was going to get rid of him, and hurriedly forced him forward. Because he was afraid of being judged for a foul, he raised his hands high and signaled that he was not pushing anyone, if Chu Zhongtian really fell, it must not have been done by himself. But in fact, his lower body was constantly squeezing forward, intending to squeeze Chu Zhongtian down. Because Rooney's hand and foot movements were uncoordinated, his steps were not so tight, and Chu Zhongtian was keenly aware of a trace of space.

So he sped forward and rushed towards where Carrick was.

Rooney could only speed up to keep up, and this time he didn't care about raising his hand to show his innocence, because Chu Zhongtian was about to get out of his control.

Seeing that the two men are getting closer and closer, Carrick is also ready to cooperate with Rooney to break the ball.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian suddenly braked suddenly, and at the same time turned sideways, and his feet were also making continuous movements, his left foot was supporting, and his right foot stepped on the football and pulled it back!

Rooney's "sweep" arrived just after he pulled the ball through, but he swept it away.

Chu Zhongtian, who pulled the football behind him, knocked the football behind him with the heel of his right foot, and then he pressed against Carrick again. This series of fluid movements got rid of two defenders at once, which was beautiful.

The commentators also gave him beautiful words.

"It's so beautiful! Very nimble on your feet! ”

"Chu got rid of Rooney and Carrick's defense alone, and his skills really don't look like players who play in the Bundesliga......"

"Do Chinese players have such small skills? Maybe they can easily do it on the training ground, but in such a fierce competition, they can still do it calmly, which shows Chu Zhongtian's level! ”

After getting rid of the two people, Chu Zhongtian walked the football forward. Giggs chased after Chu Zhongtian when he suddenly rushed forward. After seeing him get rid of Rooney and Carrick in one go, he came up and forced him. He was experienced and calculated that Chu Zhongtian would inevitably have problems with the cohesion and rhythm of the two of them in one breath, and this was a good time for him to break the ball.

He was right, but it was for the situation of continuing to dribble the ball, Chu Zhongtian didn't plan to continue dribbling the ball, he saw Giggs pressing up, so he stabbed the football aside in advance, and then continued to run forward by himself.

After Salihovic, who came to support him, received the football that he stabbed, he saw Chu Zhongtian running forward, so he passed the football again. After the two of them made a two-by-one, the scene had been opened up by Chu Zhongtian's breakthrough, and now he was facing Fletcher again.

Fletcher now knows that Chu Zhongtian is powerful, and on the other hand, because he has a yellow card on his back, he did not pounce at the first time, but kept a suitable distance and waited for his teammates to come up to support him.

Seeing Fletcher's appearance, Chu Zhongtian was not polite, and directly slammed his foot to shoot the goal. The ball hit Vidic and bounced off the line, a corner.

Although he didn't score a goal, Chu Zhongtian made Fletcher even more helpless when he faced him next time. Because if you go up and save on him, you can get a second yellow card for a foul, and you don't go up and save him, and he shoots straight at goal...... This time it was good luck to hit Vidic, and judging from his previous long-range shots, his long-range shooting accuracy was still quite high. Maybe you'll be in next time you're unlucky?

Chu Zhongtian's series of wonderful performances also made the commentators full of praise for him.

Originally, it was thought that Ibisevic and Ruud van Nistelrooy would be the most interesting figures in Hoffenheim in this game. Ibisevic was in mediocre form despite his hard work, and Van Nistelrooy was lackluster at other times except for that goal.

It was Chu Zhongtian who used wonderful personal performances again and again to attract everyone's attention. Whether it is passing or breaking through, he has shown a very high level, even in the face of opponents like Manchester United, he has no stage fright, and he is comfortable in the midfield, and he has the style of a general.

Rangnick was also pleased with Chu Zhongtian's performance, especially when it came to shooting. The game lasted more than 60 minutes, and Hoffenheim had eleven shots on goal, and Chu Zhongtian alone contributed five times, accounting for almost half of the team's shots. This kind of enthusiasm is almost impossible to see in previous competitions.

It seems that his agitation method has indeed stimulated Chu Zhongtian, and he saw a Chu Zhongtian who was not quite the same as usual.

※※※Everyone is praising Chu Zhongtian, or is satisfied with Chu Zhongtian's performance, only one person wants to scold the English FA officials every time he sees Chu Zhongtian playing well.

That man was Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson. He sat in the coach's seat and watched the game quietly. When he saw Chu Zhongtian get rid of Rooney and Carrick beautifully, and then beat Giggs with a one-two, and faced Fletcher who was hesitant and did not dare to step forward, he decisively chose to shoot from a distance, he deeply regretted - why is such an outstanding player not in his own team!

Damn labor certification!

※※※ Chu Zhongtian did not score this goal, but it greatly boosted the morale of the team. Everyone has seen his previous performances, and it was so dazzling to pass two people in midfield that his team-mates couldn't help but cheer him on like the fans.

After Chu Zhongtian had this performance, his teammates felt that there was really hope. Like the captain said, what if we are equalised? Just one more goal.

Anyway, Hoffenheim is not good at anything else, and he is the best at scoring goals. We should have faith in what we do best, what else do we have to fear?

Chu Zhongtian turned around and beckoned everyone to come up and send a corner kick, and shouted to them: "Attack, let's continue to attack!" ”

At this time, the light in everyone's eyes is different. Expressions of stupidity and dejection were completely absent from their faces, replaced by confidence.
