For many, and even for the Bremen players themselves, the 45-minute second half was nothing short of tormenting when the first half was played like that. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As it was, although Schaaf lashed at his players' performances at half-time, he made some changes, such as replacing Balfred with young star Marin. But to no avail.

The team showed no fighting spirit, they had been destroyed from the bottom of their hearts by Hoffenheim's four goals in 23 minutes.

In the 61st minute, when Chu Zhongtian burst into the front of the Bremen penalty area with the ball, a change of direction caused Frings to foul him, and Frings not only received a yellow card, but also gave Hoffenheim a very dangerous free kick.

The free-kick was taken by Salihovic. His free-kick went straight around the wall and into the corner. Wiese struggled to make a save but couldn't reach it, and Hoffenheim extended the score to 5:1!

Rangnick then started to substitute new signings. Quaresma, Hlosek and Srna came off the bench.

Neither side scored, Bremen were powerless, Hoffenheim were powerless - they were already four goals ahead of their opponents, and it was a brilliant scoreline that everyone was going to let up. In the next game, Hoffenheim's players continued to perform actions that made the fans cheer and cheer, such as a wonderful heel pass, a continuous pass, a wonderful ball split, and a dazzling pass. Quaresma, in the midst of this lightheartedness, also praised the outside instep shot for which he is famous, cut inside after the breakaway and then slammed the outside of his right foot to shoot the ball over the post. Although he didn't enter, he won bursts of applause from the fans in the stands.

It was too easy, but it made the players miss the chance to score because they were too easy to shoot in front of goal.

However, they will not regret it, because the team's current score is safe, and if 5:1 is not safe, there are not many scores in the world that are safe.

Bremen, on the other hand, were outright supporting in the Hoffenheim players.

They only wanted to think about when the match would be over so that they could end the long nightmare - a real nightmare for them to be beaten like this by an opponent they had the absolute advantage before.

The referee also fully understood their feelings, so in the forty-five minutes of the second half, the referee did not give a minute, and as soon as the ninetieth minute arrived, he blew the whistle for the end of the game!

"It's over! Hoffenheim beat Bremen 5-1 at their home stadium! They have indeed put an end to the embarrassing history of losing every game in Bremen! It was a really surprise game for everyone......"

After the game, as the best of the game, Chu Zhongtian was pulled to the interview area by reporters for an interview.

He was very satisfied with the result, and his first sentence was to ask everyone: "Now you don't want to ask me if Lyme is our nemesis, do you?" ”

The reporters were stunned for a moment, then laughed.

They really won't ask anymore. Bremen is a thing of the past, and in the history of Hoffenheim's rise, it belongs to the page that has been turned in the past.

The Bremen players and fans quickly left the stadium, but the Hoffenheim fans in the stands did not want to leave there, they remained in the stands, chanting the song "This is Hoffenheim" while chanting Chu Zhongtian's name.

On this afternoon, the Hoffenheim fans are the happiest people in the world.

After the game, Hoffenheim's 5-1 win over Bremen at home became the focus of everyone's attention, and no one expected that what should have been a close match would turn out to be one-sided. After the game, the German newspaper Bild used this headline to evaluate the game - "Bremen is completely destroyed!" 》

The local media in Bremen lamented that "...... We were killed......"

Chu Zhongtian was elected the best in the audience, and he is naturally a figure chased by the news media.

The TV station that broadcast Körner's talk show to Chu Zhongtian took out this clip of this episode and put it in the Bundesliga highlights of the current round.

Chu Zhongtian in the camera looked as usual when asked by the host Kellner, "What actions will you take to dispel this impression of people", and then replied: "We will defeat them in this game." ”

The host focused on explaining to the audience Chu Zhongtian's confidence in saying this, and he knew in advance that his team would win this game.

Hoffenheim fans also worship Chu Zhongtian as a god: "Sometimes I wonder if he came to the world with a different identity? Ha ha! You saw his performance against Bremen, right? I'm not exaggerating, I'm really not exaggerating! ”

The Chinese media don't need to explain Chu Zhongtian's new round of praise, everyone is used to it.

Chu Zhongtian himself seemed very calm under a series of praises. Not because he had already achieved "no surprise", but because he felt that the victory over Bremen was only the first step. This allows him to focus all his energy on the European stage and no longer have to worry about it at home.

And he knew very well that the victory over Bremen was only the first step in a long march. You can't feel that everything is okay just because you have won this so-called nemesis. It's only been one round of league play, so what's the point of winning this game with more goals if the team is poor for the rest of the season?

Bremen is just the starting point.

※※※On August 28, in the second round of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim defeated promoted St. Pauli 3-0 away. Rangnick and Chu Zhongtian's fast-paced football continues to be implemented, and everyone sees a team full of speed and creativity, their football is exciting, always in a high-tempo and high-level confrontation.

It's also attacking football, unlike Barcelona and Arsenal's flamboyant ball-possession, which isn't flashy, but it's dangerous. In terms of the technical statistics of the game, Hoffenheim did not have a big lead in possession, only 56 per cent to 44 per cent, but they had an absolute advantage in the number of shots on goal, with St. Pauli having eight shots on goal and Hoffenheim having eighteen. The purpose of fast football is to create as many shooting opportunities as possible, and the more shooting opportunities, the more natural goals will be scored, although there are accidents, but in terms of probability, in general, the more shots on goal, the more goals will be scored, which makes sense.

Hoffenheim had as many as twenty shots on goal in the match against Bremen, scoring five goals and scoring an average of one in four.

The midfield is very simple, creative but not complicated, and there is no frequent back-and-forth. When the ball arrived at Chu Zhongtian's feet, his top priority was always to pass the ball forward, and if there was no good opportunity, he would pass horizontally. If the chances of the crosses are not good, then the passes.

In the match with St. Pauli, Chu Zhongtian scored another goal, this time with a header from a corner.

Since the 29th round of the league last season, Chu Zhongtian has scored in eight consecutive rounds of the league. This is the first time in his career, and the reporters naturally will not let go of this good hype topic, and they praised Chu Zhongtian fiercely in the media. During this time, Chu Zhongtian was the man of the year in German football.

At the beginning of the season, although Chu Zhongtian did not defend his title of "German Footballer of the Year", this did not affect his form. Last season's German Footballer of the Year belonged to Arjen Robben, who performed well for Bayern Munich and the Dutch national team, and it was he who saved Bayern Munich many times to have a chance to reach the Champions League final.

Although Chu Zhongtian also performed well, he was too far behind Robben in terms of team honors. He was second in fame and fortune, and third belonged to Schweinsteiger, who was a key figure in both Bayern Munich and the German national team.

Louis van Gaal was voted Bundesliga coach of the year last season. In the selection of the best coaches, Hoffenheim's Rangnick ranked third, and the second person was the head coach of the German national team, Loew.

Loew has openly stated that his German national team has referenced Hoffenheim's impactful style of play, especially Hoffenheim in the second half of last season.

That's why Germany's football is so amazing at the World Cup.

This also confirms what Hognesstein, a columnist for the British newspaper The Guardian, said: "German football will soon find that Hoffenheim is not a threat, but their future." ”

※※※After playing the league with St. Pauli, Chu Zhongtian also left Germany and flew back to China. He will fly directly to Zhengzhou to join his teammates from the Chinese national team for the warm-up match against Iran there. After playing Iran in Zhengzhou, he will move with the team to Nanjing, where he will face Paraguay, the fourth place in the World Cup in South Africa.

Because the Asian Cup is in January next year, there is not much time left for Gao Hongbo and the national football team. Therefore, in such a warm-up game, Gao Hongbo specially called Chu Zhongtian, hoping that he could participate. This is one of the few opportunities for him to run in with the team as a core before the Asian Cup.

Chu Zhongtian also knew this, so he didn't say a word and returned to China to compete.

Chu Zhongtian's return is the biggest gimmick of the Chinese media reporting these two warm-up matches, what world stars like Santa Cruz, what South Africa World Cup quarterfinals, these are insignificant in front of Chu Zhongtian.

Because of Chu Zhongtian's existence, fans in China have become interested in the Chinese national team again. It is said that 30,000 tickets were sold for the warm-up match against Iran, which is a rare number for a national football match with a low attendance. Of these 30,000 people, an estimated 99 percent came to see Chu Zhongtian, and the remaining one percent were Paraguayan fans...... Fans wearing Chu Zhongtian's national team jersey can be seen everywhere outside the stadium, and there are also people holding posters and large portraits of Chu Zhongtian, these are all fans who are ready to cheer for Chu Zhongtian. When Chinese football is in a recession, Chu Zhongtian is the only hope for fans, the only figure they can look forward to.

Chu Zhongtian's advertisements are now frequently appearing in China, and he is already a household name. To make an inappropriate analogy, Ronaldo, as a football player, was also a well-known star in China, and Chu Zhongtian's status is almost the same as Ronaldo's.

In the game in Zhengzhou, the condition of the field was very bad, Chu Zhongtian even felt that the field condition of the King Ranch, the home of Wimbledon Athletic, was better than this, although the grass of the people was not as much as this, but the field was flat. And this court in Zhengzhou looks like the head of a leper, one has turf, the other does not, and the potholes are uneven.

I believe that if Rangnick saw this game, he would definitely be worried about Chu Zhongtian's ankle - he was afraid that Chu Zhongtian would have sprained his ankle on such a bad field. Hoffenheim is now relying on Chu Zhongtian, if Chu Zhongtian has something long and short, Hoffenheim will be beaten back to its original form immediately.

This kind of bad field has had an impact on both sides, but the Chinese team has been affected even more, because since Gao Hongbo came to power, the Chinese team has established a tactical style of ground coordination, this kind of football is very dependent on the field conditions, Iran is better in comparison, they are in excellent physical condition, tough style, and play wide open and closed, and the impact of the field on them is not so great.

This was faithfully reflected in the game as well.

The Chinese players were very uncomfortable with this poor turf, and Chu Zhongtian had to be more involved in defense to help the team fend off Iran's attack. The two sides were so deadlocked in the first half that it was not until the 38th minute that the deadlock was broken.

The Iranian team crossed from the side, the Chinese team's defender Feng Xiaoting returned to the defense and scramble, the football bounced out, the Iranian player shot, and the football was saved by goalkeeper Yang Zhi, but the defenders of the Chinese team failed to clear the siege quickly, and the football Iranian player Tamrian pushed into the empty goal, and the Chinese team fell behind by one goal.

At halftime, Gao Hongbo asked Chu Zhongtian to be more active in attack rather than in defense. So in the second half, Chu Zhongtian strengthened his attack. And in the 58th minute, he instigated an offensive, Yu Hai received the ball and broke into the penalty area and sent the football into the goal.

The Chinese team pulled the score to a 1:1 draw!

In the ensuing game, both sides had chances, but neither took them, and in the end the two sides drew 1:1.

Chu Zhongtian won the best of the match after the game, although the Chinese team did not win, but Chu Zhongtian basically showed his form. Of course, there is still some gap with the performance in Hoffenheim, but considering that the overall level of the Chinese team is not as good as Hoffenheim, and the poor venue also limits his performance, the Chinese media and fans are generally very satisfied with Chu Zhongtian's performance.

After playing in Zhengzhou, Chu Zhongtian followed the team to Nanjing, where he welcomed Paraguay, the quarterfinals of the World Cup in South Africa.

Chu Zhongtian's big regret is that he has not participated in the World Cup, and now he has a chance to play against teams that have participated in the World Cup to see how powerful the World Cup-level team is.

In addition to training in Nanjing, Chu Zhongtian also had to participate in a business event, which was planned after the schedule for the warm-up matches of the Chinese team was released.

However, something unexpected happened to him, and he was a little surprised.

He received a phone call from Chengdu, Sichuan.

He is no stranger to this phone number, when he joined Metz, the owner of this phone number was the secretary general of the Chengdu Football Association, and now he has been upgraded to the chairman of the Chengdu Football Association. He is Gong Jianmin.

Chengdu Football Association and Metz have a cooperation agreement, and Wang Hao and others were sent out of Metz to participate in training because of this cooperation agreement, and finally signed the contract. However, his own joining has nothing to do with the cooperation agreement of the Football Association. He didn't have anything to do with the Chengdu Football Association at that time. Although initially he was an athlete in a football school, he was under the management of the Football Association.

It was only after he joined Metz that he discovered this coincidence. The Chengdu Football Association also noticed him, and when Gong Jianmin went to Metz on behalf of the Chengdu Football Association, he also met with Chu Zhongtian, Wang Hao and others. The two men got to know each other because of this.

Later, when Chu Zhongtian filmed a promotional video for his hometown Chengdu, it was Gong Jianmin who made the matchmaking and let him complete the cooperation with the Chengdu government.

Although the Chinese Football Association is not a good thing, most local football associations are still reasonable. The personal relationship between Chu Zhongtian and Gong Jianmin is okay, not too intimate, but it is not to the point of being a stranger. Chu Zhongtian has the opportunity to go back to Chengdu, and he will invite Gong Jianmin to have a meal together, and if Wang Hao is there, then call Wang Hao too.

But most of the time they don't get in touch, Chu Zhongtian has to play football, and he has his own business, and a big star is usually very busy. Gong Jianmin also has his own job, so there is no other contact except for the New Year's holidays, when Chu Zhongtian will send a greeting message.

At this time, Gong Jianmin suddenly called himself, which surprised Chu Zhongtian.

He couldn't think of anything in the near future that would allow the president of the Chengdu Football Association to find him.

Generally speaking, official calls will be made to his personal assistant, Mathilde, who will screen and then transfer himself. In China, Xu Xiaodi was found first, and his private phone was relatively quiet.

Despite his doubts, Chu Zhongtian answered the phone.

"Xiao Chu!" It was indeed Gong Jianmin's familiar voice that Chu Zhongtian was familiar with on the other end of the phone, speaking Chengdu dialect.

"Eh, Chairman Gong!" In the past, Chu Zhongtian called him Secretary-General Gong, but now that he has been upgraded, his title will naturally be upgraded.

"You've been in excellent form lately, congratulations, Xiao Chu."

"Thank you, Chairman Gong, it's not like you're cultivating well......" When facing his wife Emily at home, Chu Zhongtian chatted with her in English. Facing his personal assistant Mathilde, he was accustomed to using French, not German. In Hoffenheim, of course, he has to use German, and he is still learning Portuguese, so if he talks to Quaresma alone, he tries to use Portuguese, and what he really can't speak is English and gestures. Back in the Chinese team, he speaks standard Mandarin, but when someone speaks Chengdu dialect for him, he will naturally convert his language into his hometown, and now he is communicating with Gong Jianmin in Chengdu dialect.

"Don't tell me that you don't have any of these, where did I cultivate you? I don't dare to climb high! ”

Chu Zhongtian hehe, hey, a pleasure.

"I called you because I wanted to ask you something."

"What's the matter, you just say it."

"Hmm...... That's it, this, Xiao Chu. I know you're a big star, a successful businessman, and you're not a little rich......"

"Oh, it's a little money, and it's not comparable to those really rich people...... Chu Zhongtian couldn't tell what Gong Jianmin was talking about. But no one wants to admit that they are really rich, and showing off their wealth is not so dazzling.

"I know, I know." Gong Jianmin didn't care about Chu Zhongtian's words, he continued, "I just want to ask, are you interested in investing in a football club?" ”

"Huh?" Chu Zhongtian was completely stunned.
