Salihovic originally planned to play a two-one-one with Chu Zhongtian, and then turned around and stepped forward, asking Chu Zhongtian to pass the football to himself again, but he didn't think that he was kicked down from behind as soon as he passed the football, but in fact, the kick was not heavy, there was some pain at the time, and it got better soon. He didn't get up right away www.biquge.info continue to participate in the attack, but lay on the ground clutching his ankles, his expression turning over and over in pain.

He hopes to draw the attention of the referee with this behaviour and thus card the foul Schalke 04 player. He can see that the players of Schalke 04 in this game are like eating gunpowder, and they move very much. They have to be taught a lesson, otherwise this game won't be played.

But lying on the ground, he didn't hear the referee's whistle for a long time, but heard the cheers in the stands getting louder and louder, and then the cheers suddenly reached a peak.

He stopped rolling meaninglessly on the ground, then looked up.

He didn't see Chu Zhongtian's wonderful pass, and he didn't see Ibisevic's crotch-piercing shot, but he saw Ibisevic running towards the corner flag with open arms, and Chu Zhongtian chasing him behind. What about balls? The ball was lying in the goal, and Schalke 04's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was on his knees in front of him.

The ball went in?

The ball is in!

Salihovich stopped pretending, he jumped up from the ground, and he didn't see any pain. Salihovic, who jumped up, like other teammates, rushed to Ibisevic.

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands were singing: "We are - Hoffenheim!" Let you taste it - our football! ”

※※※ "What a wonderful pass!" When everyone thought that he was deeply encircled and the football under his feet would definitely be broken, he sent the football out smoothly! It's so beautiful! ”

"I think 90% of the credit for this ball has to be credited to Chu Zhongtian's name, it was he who attracted the attention of Schalke 04 players with the ball forward, at that time, there were five Schalke 04 players who came up to defend him, but they didn't notice the space behind him at all, Ibishevic understood that he would insert it, Chu Zhongtian's pass was just right! The most difficult part of this goal is that Chu Zhongtian has to control the football in the midst of everyone, and at the same time, he must also send the football accurately...... Chu Zhongtian once again showed us his talent! ”

"It's beautiful! Ha ha! Effenberg, who was a guest commentator for the premiere TV, laughed. The players of Schalke 04 must not have expected Chu to be able to pass the football accurately under such circumstances......"

Yes, the Schalke 04 player really didn't think of it. They thought that the five people surrounded Chu Zhongtian and that the ball was theirs, but they didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to pass the football out before they broke the ball...... Raphinha watched Chu Zhongtian stab the football away before him, and then as soon as he turned around, he saw Ibisevic's back...... "Ibisevic scored his twentieth goal of the season!" The shooter's feet have been hot lately! According to this state, even if he does break Gade. I wouldn't find it surprising that Muller scored 40 goals in a single season...... Of course, we must also see that it is precisely because of the midfielders such as Chu, Salihovic, Eduardo and Weiss that Ibisevic was able to get so many shooting opportunities. Hoffenheim has scored the most goals in the Bundesliga, and it can be seen in the assists of this goal! ”

The TV camera gave Chu Zhongtian a close-up, and then switched to the replay of the goal just now. This time, people finally saw clearly what Chu Zhongtian did when surrounded by five Schalke 04 players. He was quick, obviously quicker than the five around him, and he didn't even look up at what was in front of him, he stabbed the ball out of the run, and then there was the picture of Ibisevic getting the ball diagonally and suddenly shooting in the box...... The teammates also congratulated Chu Zhongtian, his passing was so exquisite.

To be honest, Chu Zhongtian's pass not only did not surprise the opponent and the audience, but even his teammates did not expect it. Seeing that Chu Zhongtian was deeply encircled, Weiss did not insert support, but retreated and prepared to defend - he felt that Chu Zhongtian would definitely lose the ball. And Demba. Ba and Obasi didn't come up to answer either, because they both felt that the attack was over. It was precisely because they did not actively run to respond that the defenders of Schalke 04 mistakenly thought that Chu Zhongtian would not pass the ball...... Only Ibisevic, who has cooperated with Chu Zhongtian and Metz for two seasons, suddenly stepped forward, he played in Metz and has adapted to Chu Zhongtian's various passes, so even if it doesn't seem to be an opportunity for this attack, he still resolutely stepped forward, and in the end, the effort paid off, he received the ball and scored his twentieth goal in the season.

※※※ The discussion about Chu Zhongtian's exquisite pass continued among the stands and commentators, but the game had restarted.

Hoffenheim, the leader, played relaxed.

But apparently they had overrelaxed, and there were a couple of missed passes...... Maybe they thought they had won the game, the winter championship was gone, the prize money distribution rules and numbers had been decided, and now the players were thinking about where they were going to play during the winter break...... In the 40th minute, the central defenders Comper and Jaisler were not in a tight situation at the same time. Altentop calmly sent a through ball on the right flank and Asamoah stabbed it near the penalty spot after reversing offside, and the ball shot past Daniel. Haas's goal, 1:1!

"Oh - Asamoah's shot has scored! Hoffenheim's defense made a big mistake! They must have lost their minds! Khalil. Neither Altentop nor Asamoah defended in the first place......"

Rangnick was unhappy with the goal and he was waging his arms and roaring from the sidelines.

Before the goal, Chu Zhongtian was pinned down by Farfan on the other side, and there was nothing he could do about the conceded goal. Since coming to Hoffenheim, his main focus has been on organising and participating in the attack, and he has been unable to defend at times. In the second half of his time at Metz, his main experience was also in attack, but at that time he had Promans by his side, and he didn't need to worry too much about defense, so there was no problem. Now playing 433 at Hoffenheim, he is the only single midfielder, and he is a little stretched in defense. The football field is so big, even if he can run, it is impossible for him to run past the fast-flying football, and the opponent only needs a 40-meter diagonal long pass, and he will be thrown away.

It seems that if you want to win the league title, you have to strengthen your defense. In the second half of the season, Rangnick's focus should be on revamping the backline...... with a 1-1 scoreline, players from both sides entered the dressing room.

Schalke 04's players are happy with the scoreline so far, and Hoffenheim don't seem too disappointed. But back in the locker room, Rangnick was harshly critical of his team's defensive performance. Rangnick also realizes that if they want to win the title, they must pay attention to the defense, and if the team just wants to be a dark horse, then their attack alone is enough to muddy the waters of the Bundesliga.

"You have to be more focused when you're defending!"

There's nothing Rangnick can do at the moment, so let's just say that. The three strikers are in too good shape, and it is a loss for the team to put any one on the bench, and it is not conducive to the stability of the team, unless the team loses, this formation cannot be changed at will.

And on the back line, there are not many players of sufficient level, if the defense is strengthened, the first thing is that the strength of the players is enough to play the ball, Ibetsberger has been working hard, but his strength is not enough, he is still playing the main left wing-back is a helpless move, because no one is better than him...... In terms of central defenders, Comper was selected for the German national team once, but after all, he was still young and inexperienced. Jaisler has potential, but he is only 20 years old, which is too young for a centre-back. Jaisler is 20 years old, Comper is 23 years old, this is the main Hoffenheim central defender combination in this game, such a young defender, it is no wonder that there will be a problem of distraction in the game...... "You are facing Schalke 04, their goal is to win the championship, and they are also our competitors to win the championship. And not Frankfurt and Cottages! In the face of such an opponent, do you dare to be distracted? So what's the point of winning the championship? ”

After criticizing the team's letting go, Rangnick thought to himself that he would have to look around for the right defender during the winter break...... Rangnick and Arsene Wenger are very similar in one way, and that is that they like to use young players. Arsene Wenger's preference for young players is well known to fans all over the world, and there are even jokes that "Wenger is too dominant". And the less famous Wenger's Rangnick is actually a "Zhengtaikong", he once went to Arsenal to learn from Wenger, maybe he learned this kind of love...... But now Rangnick has realised that young people alone are not enough, and he has said before: "We definitely won't want Ronaldinho because he's too old." "At that time, Ronaldinho was only twenty-seven years old, and Rangnick was old.

Now Rangnick doesn't see it that way. It makes sense to have young people on the offensive line, and there must be one or two old players on the back line to be able to stabilize, otherwise once the front attack cannot open the situation, the back line will inevitably encounter a lot of pressure.

Hoffenheim have conceded a lot of goals this season, and one of the main references is that the backline is too young and inexperienced, in fact, many goals should not have been conceded...... Rangnick sometimes compares Chu Zhongtian's Metz with his own Hoffenheim, which he piggybacks on to observe Chu Zhongtian. Mace's defense was not very good at first, but it got better and better later, and it was also a process of gradual improvement, to say that Chu Zhongtian's defense was very good, but he couldn't defend the opponent's entire team alone, and the offense might rely on a certain star to decide alone, but the defense definitely can't, it can only rely on the whole. Metz's defense is very comprehensive, and there are many excellent and mature defensive players around Chu Zhongtian, such as Promans, Traore, Rodriguez, Cabo, and Bobiconi, all of whom are mature players in their playing years and have rich experience. It is precisely because of them that Chu Zhongtian can confidently and boldly insert the attack.

Hoffenheim made a name for themselves in their first season in the Bundesliga with their attack, but it's time to calm down and practice defensively.

While Rangnick was lashing out at the team's defence in the dressing room, Schalke coach Rüten praised his team's performance in the first half.

Although he was scored in the first half, Lüten did not think it was the responsibility of the players, but Hoffenheim was too cunning - when his own player was injured, his teammates would take the ball to the boundary and let him be treated. Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian didn't mean that at all, and directly attacked with the ball and caught Schalke 04 off guard.

What Ruten saw was the players equalising late in the first half, and a 1-1 draw was important for the team, especially as the first half drew to a close. It interrupted Hoffenheim's rhythm and gave himself a lot of confidence that the team would take the initiative in the second half...... and the second half was about to begin, and the players from both sides walked out of the dressing room and towards the pitch.

Chu Zhongtian deliberately dragged behind, and then found Salihovic. He had to explain the goal in the first half to his team-mate, lest he mistake him for a forced attack that he ignored him. There are many such things on the football field, and teammates who are on the same team are not necessarily close friends. Some people steal the chances of their teammates in order to score goals, and it is easy to cause unpleasantness.

The atmosphere in the team is very good now, but it doesn't mean that it can continue to be so good, and if you don't pay attention to maintenance, the good atmosphere will disappear one day.

As the first captain of the team, Chu Zhongtian has the responsibility and obligation to maintain the good atmosphere of the team.

"It was a great opportunity at that time, I'm sorry I didn't kick the football out......"

Salihovich is not a cautious person either, and he shrugged: "I'm not hurt anyway, I'm just pretending." ”

Chu Zhongtian laughed: "I knew, and then I also observed you and found that you were indeed fine, so I was relieved." ”

"But the next time you fall to the ground and don't get up, if the ball falls at my feet, I won't stop."

Chu Zhongtian smiled: "Don't worry, if I really fall to the ground and can't get up, then I must be really injured." ”

Ribery is a bit clever and likes to play tricks on the court, and Chu Zhongtian is more loyal and honest - of course, it is only comparative...... He added: "But it's not often when I'm really injured......

Salihovic thought about it, it's really like this, Chu Zhongtian has been in Hoffenheim for half a season, whether it is a game or training, he has never been injured, even if it is just a hard injury such as hitting the calf bone, he has never appeared. It's not that he's physically strong enough to be invulnerable, it's that he's always been able to avoid some dangerous fouls in advance.

※※※ At the beginning of the second half of the game, neither coach made any substitutions. But soon Rangnick had to be forced to make a substitution. In the 49th minute, Obasi strained his thigh in the game and was unable to continue the game. Rangnick replaced Obasi with Tebel, who went to play on the right wing, while Weiss dropped back to partner Chu Zhongtian in a midfield position. The team switched to 442.

Schalke 04 intend to take advantage of Hoffenheim's forced substitutions to extend their advantage and try to score another goal. In their opinion, although Teber is the captain of Hoffenheim, he has always been able to only be a bench, and has not played in many consecutive games.

What if you take control and have a bigger advantage? Naturally, he used brutal defense and fouls to constantly interrupt Hoffenheim's offensive rhythm.

So from then on, the smell of gunpowder in this game became stronger.

Chu Zhongtian took advantage of the "sympathy" of the Schalke 04 players in the first half and scored the main attack on Ibisevic, which made the Schalke 04 players feel insulted and deceived - we are kind enough to think about you, but you take advantage of our kindness in turn! It's just that the uncle can bear it, but the aunt can't bear it!

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian became the focus of Schalke 04 players in the second half.

In the fiftieth minute, he had just received the ball from defender Camper at the back when he was swept away from behind by Asamoah.

The referee blew Schalke 04 for a foul but did not give Asamoah a card, which caused displeasure among the Hoffenheim fans in the stands, who booed in protest.

As a Chinese commentator, Duan Bin naturally has to stand on the side of Chinese player Chu Zhongtian. When Asamoah was fouled, he shouted: "This will definitely give Asamoah a card, at least a yellow card!" But when he found that the referee didn't say anything, he exclaimed: "No cards? How can you not give cards? In fact, it can be seen from the first half that the players of Schalke 04 are very rude! ”

Chu Zhongtian got up from the ground and didn't say anything, but Tebel came up to complain and protest to the referee, thinking that at least one card should be given.

As the old captain, he likes Chu Zhongtian very much, because after he came, the team's results were surprisingly good, and the young man's character was also good, and he was very calm and experienced in dealing with people, which was really likeable. On the court, he didn't want Chu Zhongtian to be wronged, so he naturally had to stand up for Chu Zhongtian at this time.

The referee ignored Tebel's protests.

The game continues.

Only two minutes later, Jones pushed down Chu Zhongtian, who was dribbling forward, in defense, and committed two consecutive fouls, causing boos in the stands. Referee Gagelman also realized that if he didn't control the cards again, he was afraid that the game would eventually evolve into an "all-martial arts". So this time, he didn't need to be reminded by the Hoffenheim players, and decisively showed Jones a yellow card.

Chu Zhongtian, who was pushed to the ground, knelt on the ground, spreading his hands a little helplessly. It seems that this is Schalke 04's trick against Hoffenheim and himself...... Schalke 04 This method is a bit dirty, but it is very effective. Frequently put to the ground, the team's offense simply can't play long. Just now he was optimistic about a vacancy, and was about to get up and pass the ball, but Jones pounced on him and pressed him to the ground, he wondered if this Jones was a roundworm in his stomach, and the timing of this foul was too good. Even if he waited for him to pass the ball out and then fouled, he didn't complain, although he fell, but the offense was done...... Referee Gagelman hoped to use this card to control the emotions of the players on both sides, because the two consecutive fouls made Hoffenheim's players a little angry.

But his approach failed, because it was not a foul that the player was dazed for, but a premeditated and planned foul, which was Schalke 04's tactic...... If they want to win, Schalke 04 can't afford to give up on it.

As a result, in the 56th minute, Teber retaliated and tackled Asamoah, and the two sides got up and pushed in their hands, and the referee received a yellow card for each of them.

Obviously, the practice of the big 50 boards can't really calm down the two sides.

The game gradually moved into hand-to-hand combat......
