Chapter 52: Just a Little Short

readx;

When Chu Zhongtian dribbled the ball on the wing, no one realised it was going to be a goal, including Hoffenheim's own fans. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info There were several better and more obvious scoring chances for both sides before this game, but neither of them took them. Naturally, everyone didn't take this opportunity to attack seriously.

The Hoffenheim fans were about to take a break to catch their breath, when they saw Chu Zhongtian suddenly accelerate and rush forward, and then played a one-two with Obasi in front of Bayern's penalty area, and then crossed after breaking into the penalty area!

This immediately tore through Bayern's defense. It was clear from the stands that the previously tight defence had been slammed away, revealing a huge void in which Ibisevic was in the middle.

So they planned to cheer again, but before they could make a sound, Chu Zhongtian's football had already been heard.

Then they saw Ibisevic leap high and smash the ball into the air into the goal.

It was only then that their cheers erupted.

After the roar, they began to sing, and the Bundesliga TV audience was no stranger to this song, and with Hoffenheim's outstanding performance, the song was sung all over Germany by Hoffenheim fans.

This song is a good illustration of what kind of team Hoffenheim is, with a grassroots refusal to admit defeat and twisting energy.

"We come from the countryside and we have nothing!"

"We are strong, we believe in freedom!"

"We're hillbillies, but we're full of pursuit!"

"We're going to win, and the glass is full of beer!"

"Attack! Offensive! The blood of the offense flows forever! ”

"We're - Hoffenheim! Let you taste our football!! ”

The song rang out over the Allianz Arena over and over again, and the Bayern fans fell silent in front of it.

Before that, how many people would talk about "Hoffenheim" in a disdainful tone: "This little hillbilly team!" "of?

Now this little hillbilly team is ahead of their team at their home field, which is really embarrassing...... ※※※ After the goal, Ibisevic and Chu Zhongtian, who gave him an assist, ran to the bench and hugged their teammates there. They were proud to be the first to open the scoring for Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

They wouldn't have believed it three years ago, when they were still playing in the Southern German Regional League, the equivalent of the amateur league.

Today, this scene has really come true.

Before the game, some media believed that Bayern Munich would knock Hoffenheim back to its original form, so that the dark horse team knew what the real Bundesliga giants were.

But at present, it seems that the dark horse team has indeed dealt a heavy blow to the giants.

"It's unbelievable that Hoffenheim are leading at Bayern's home stadium!" Leif exclaimed. "Look at their crazy celebrations, as if they've already won the game!"

Beckenbauer sat next to him, shook his head and said: "Bayern's defense is too lax, they focus all their attention on Chu who has the ball, but forget that Ibishevic has been in good shape recently. What do they think that neither of the two centre-backs, Lucio and Van Bitten, has gone to the middle to play Ibisevic? And our defence was loose from the midfield. When Chu was dribbling the ball, no one stepped forward to force it. Bommel just waited for his position, and then watched Chu come up with the ball, and he saw that he gave the initiative to his opponent! And when Chu completed the two-by-one cooperation in front of him, he didn't chase back in time, just stood in place...... What was he thinking? ”

As the former president of Bayern Munich, Beckenbauer certainly wanted his team to win, so he was merciless in his criticism when he saw the team's poor defensive performance.

Bayern's players are also thinking: how can it be leaked? How could that Chu get the ball and attract everyone's attention in an instant? It's as if he has magic in him, and he can draw people's eyes firmly and completely forget about the things around them.

After the celebrations, the Hoffenheim players ran back to the pitch, where the Bayern players had already placed their football in the center circle and were ready to kick off.

Ibisevic gave Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up: "Good pass, Chu!" ”

Chu Zhongtian also gave him a thumbs up: "It's good, Ibi!" ”

Now the team is leading and everyone is in a good mood.

After taking the lead, Hoffenheim didn't rest on his laurels.

They continue to play Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

However, Bayern's players showed signs of collapse after conceding the goal...... Four minutes later, Chu Zhongtian suddenly switched to the middle, Gustavo went to the right side, and then Chu Zhongtian received the ball made by Eduardo for him, and at a distance of twenty-seven or eight meters from the goal, he suddenly shot from a distance!

Before he could shoot, not a single Bayern Munich player came up to interfere and defend. Bayern's players obviously didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to suddenly appear in the middle.

The shot came quite suddenly, clinging to the turf, flying low into the bottom left corner of the goal. Luckily, Lensing was highly focused, fell to the ground, and struggled to get the ball out.

"Chu Zhongtian's long shot! Ah! It's a pity...... was pounced by Lun Xin......" Duan Bin held his head in his hands in the studio.

The long-range shot also sent the Bayern fans in the stands in shock.

Abel also followed with a "wow", he was not exclaiming, he was sorry for Chu Zhongtian not scoring this goal. If this goal is scored, it is a two-goal lead, and it will be difficult for Bayern Munich to equalize or even come back to win. Pity!

Daniel, who was next to him, slapped his heart and scolded, "What a damn! What about our players? Why didn't anyone defend the Chinese! The team played really messily during this time! ”

Daniel was right, Bayern Munich did play quite messily after conceding the goal. Their lack of preparation for Hoffenheim's lead at the Allianz Arena and the fact that Hoffenheim had opened the scoring in the previous 10 games and then won all of them also put some pressure on their players.

During this time, the players had no idea how to continue playing...... Lun Xin, who saved Chu Zhongtian's wonderful long-range shot, got up from the ground and shouted at his teammates: "What are you guys doing? Why didn't anyone keep an eye on him? Keep an eye on him! Don't let him shoot from distance again!! ”

Rensing's qualifications in the team are not old, and many people in the team are his seniors, and he didn't dare to shout at those seniors so loudly in the past. But he can't care so much now, the goal he guards is frequently urgent, and the best defensive line in the Bundesliga last season is useless under Hoffenheim's attack, so won't he have to pick up the ball from the goal? How does this work? How does this work? As soon as he thought of this, Lensing felt very irritable, so he didn't care about his lack of qualifications, and yelled at the big brothers in the team.

Fan. As the captain, Bommel did feel that he had failed in his responsibilities. When Chu Zhongtian suddenly moved to the middle lane, there was a short circuit in his brain, and he didn't know if he was going to go up to defend Chu Zhongtian for a while...... Fortunately, Chu Zhongtian's shot didn't go in, otherwise he would have become a sinner. Two goals behind, Fan. Beaumel really doesn't know if Bayern can get it back...... He made up his mind to keep an eye on Chu Zhongtian.

Now he had a good chance and Hoffenheim got a corner. Chu Zhongtian also entered the penalty area and was ambushed near the penalty spot. Beaumel leaned in.

Eduardo's corner kick came out, but it went straight to the back point, and Chu Zhongtian had no chance to fight for the top. And Ibisevic, who was ambushed at the back post, was surrounded by Lucio and Van Bitten, and the football was high.

※※※ Right in Fan. When Bommel was about to keep an eye on Chu Zhongtian, he returned to the flank, and Gustavo continued to sit in the center. Fan. It's impossible for a Bommel midfielder to run away as a full-back, right? In that case, your middle lane will be completely empty.

The whole Bayern team really can't do anything about this versatile midfielder with a flexible position.

At the same time, Chu Zhongtian completed the task of defending Ribery on the right side, so that Ribery's contribution to the team's attack so far is close to zero.

So far in this game, Ribery has played very depressed, and he has not shown anything except for the grappling with Chu Zhongtian. When the team was behind and needed to score, he couldn't contribute his strength because he was stared at by Chu Zhongtian.

Just now, Chu Zhongtian used a beautiful tackle to shovel the ball at Ribery's feet out of the sideline, making his breakthrough come to an abrupt end.

In fact, the solution is not nothing, just change positions with the right forward Schweinsteiger, he goes to the left, and let the little pig come to his side to fight against Chu Zhongtian, and he can get out. Hoffenheim's left midfielder Eduardo is not good at defending, while Ibertsberger is too big a difference in strength in Ribery's opinion to pose no threat to himself.

However, Klinsmann did not ask for this in his tactics, and he could only occasionally cross positions with Schweinsteiger, and soon switched back.

When the French media interviewed Ribery before, he also said that he wanted to use the wonderful performance of this game to prove that the selection of the European Ballon d'Or was a mistake, but from now on, he proved how correct the selection of the European Ballon d'Or is...... France TV broadcast this game live, on the one hand, because Ribery is currently the most popular star in France, and on the other hand, because the confrontation and friendship between him and Chu Zhongtian is a big attraction.

Now it seems that this latter point of view is vividly reflected, but the unlucky person is not Chu Zhongtian, but Ribery. In this confrontation, Chu Zhongtian became the protagonist, and Ribery was the green leaf beside him...... No, Ribery couldn't break through Chu Zhongtian's tight defense, so he had to pass the football out, but his pass was broken by Gustavo. Being forced by Chu Zhongtian made him unable to observe the surrounding situation and make judgments well, and he passed the ball at will, but he didn't expect his teammates to run to that position at all, but cheapened Hoffenheim.

As soon as Chu Zhongtian saw Gustavo cut off the ball, he threw Ribery and rushed forward. Gustavo also passed the ball just right. After Chu Zhongtian received the ball, he made an attempt to play a one-two with Obasi, Ram hurriedly retracted it slightly, Chu Zhongtian seized this opportunity, accelerated the ball violently, rushed over, and broke through!

"Chu Zhongtian is very active on the right side! I don't see that he looks like he's playing right midfield for the first time! ”

Chu Zhongtian, who broke through, cut into the penalty area, and then crossed before Lahm caught up!

Lunsing's sideways pounce did not reach the ball, but it caused a burst of screams from the stands.

And those Bayern defenders who chased back did not dare to stretch their feet, for fear that the football would be stabbed into the goal by them, not to mention the two goals behind, and they scored an own goal, and they would definitely be scolded to death after the game...... The Bayern players didn't dare to touch it, while the Hoffenheim players didn't. In order to avoid the interception of Rensing and many Bayern players, Chu Zhongtian's ball passed a little strongly, and the football quickly crossed in front of the goal, followed up by Ibisevic and Demba. No one touched the football...... "Oh-" The stands once again resounded the cries of Bayern fans after being taken aback.

After seeing Hoffenheim's attack, Klinsmann, who was standing on the sidelines, finally couldn't help it. He has been directing from the sidelines until now, which is rare to see in previous games. But although he was standing on the sidelines, he was quite calm, even if Hoffenheim did not act aggressively after the goal. But now he was furious when the team was completely out of order and the Hoffenheim players were allowed to pass in front of them.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?! The "Golden Bomber" dropped a lot of bombs on the Bayern players, "Cheer me up!" Watch out for containing their attacks, then fight back quickly! Don't forget everything I told you before the game! ”

He waved his arms and roared loudly, showing all the Bayern players how unhappy their manager is right now.

"Hah!" Seeing this scene, Duan Bin laughed. Hoffenheim finally pushed Klinsmann to his knees. Bayern Munich have been playing really badly lately, and after conceding a goal, they seem to have lost their soul. It shouldn't be like this, and it's not the first time they've faced a difficult situation in a game...... Maybe after being hyped by the media before the game, they were under too much pressure, which made them a little too depressed. If they lose to Hoffenheim they will be ridiculed by all over Germany, as Schweinsteiger said before the game. He said: 'If Hoffenheim had beaten us, even if it was just a draw, they would have become heroes for all of Germany and would have been praised.' And we win Hoffenheim and nothing will happen'. I think it's this kind of psychological pressure that makes the Bayern players behave very abnormally after falling behind......"

"Klinsmann has to make adjustments, otherwise the game will only go in Hoffenheim's favor." Gong Lei, the commentator of the game, who was sitting next to him, said.

Klinsmann did have to make a change, and he walked back after yelling at his players. His assistant coach Martin. Vázquez (martin_vasquez) said to him: "Jurgen, Ribery is completely frozen. ”

Klinsmann nodded, "I know." ”

"We've got to figure it out, or we're going to be paralyzed. You know, Ribery is our main point of attack......"

"Let him switch places with Schweinsteiger." Klinsmann said. "Let the Frenchman play the right midfielder and let Schweinsteiger come over."

That's what Klinsmann thinks, Ribery and Schweinsteiger are both the kind of all-round midfielders who can play on both flanks, and there is no situation where they can't adapt when they change positions. So let Ribery stay away from that Chu Zhongtian. He didn't believe that Ribery had changed positions, and Chu Zhongtian could still follow suit. The previous intelligence did not say that Chu Zhongtian was still able to play left forward.

Klinsmann's adjustments were quickly passed on to the field by the assistant coach.

When Ribery heard this decision, he was overjoyed - he could finally get rid of this nasty Chu Zhongtian!

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to say hello to Chu Zhongtian: "Goodbye, Chu." ”

Ribery immediately got a cross from the other side, and although it didn't result in a goal, it was his best performance in more than 50 minutes.

Chu Zhongtian looked at Ribery who had changed to the other side, and wondered if he should follow as well...... He heard head coach Rangnick calling his name from the sidelines.

"Swap places with Eduardo!"

Rangnick followed suit. He even contained Ribery to contain Bayern Munich, so he must not let Ribery go. Klinsmann's intention to switch places between Ribery and Schweinsteiger was clear, and he must not be allowed to do so. Therefore, Chu Zhongtian was ordered to switch positions and go to the left guard.

When Ribery took the ball again but was cut off by Chu Zhongtian, he looked at Chu Zhongtian's back in some surprise and forgot to defend himself.

After Chu Zhongtian passed the football, he turned around and smiled at him: "Hello, Frank." We meet again. ”

"Oh! Damn it! Ribery screamed.

※※※"We saw Chu Zhongtian turn to the left...... It seems that his main task in this game is to freeze Ribery. He's done a fantastic job so far, and under his marking, Ribery is completely gone...... For a moment I thought he wasn't playing...... Ha ha! ”

※※※ Klinsmann, who saw Rangnick's adjustment this time, frowned tightly and stood still in place, like a sculpture. After thinking about it for about a minute, he turned to assistant coach Vazquez and said, "Tell Rahm that it's time to get in on the attack." ”

Prior to the game, Klinsmann did not allow Lahm to assist frequently due to safety concerns. In fact, Lahm is a full-back who likes to like and is good at attacking. Beckenbauer also mentioned this at halftime, and he was always optimistic about Bayern Munich, because Hoffenheim and Bayern fought to a draw in the first half, which was the result of Rahm not working at all, which means that in the second half, as long as Lahm made a force, this balance could be broken.

Now, the time has come to upset the balance.

Assistant coach Vázquez walked to the sidelines and yelled at Lahm, who had stayed in the second half and had not crossed the halfway line: "Lahm! Ramsay! ”

When Ram looked at him, he waved his hand: "Attack!!" ”
