Chu Zhongtian led the team to raise the tempo very fast, Hoffenheim's tempo was faster, and AC Milan also followed suit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although there are a lot of active mistakes, AC Milan also has a lot of mistakes, anyway, both sides are very hard, and if they lose the ball, they will immediately counter-rob, grab it back and lose it, and grab it again.

In fact, without Chu Zhongtian's belt, AC Milan itself will speed up the pace. Because there was not much time left, half of the second half had passed, and the score was still tied 1:1. This score means defeat for AC Milan, can they not be in a hurry?

Of course, we will do everything we can to get football closer to Hoffenheim's goal, closer to goal.

Compared to them, Hoffenheim's players are much more relaxed. 1:1 they qualified, 1:2 they also qualified, unless AC Milan can score two goals in the remaining time to make the score 3-1.

Such a good situation made them much more relaxed in the game. If even they were a little nervous before the game and worried that AC Milan would beat them at home, they don't have that fear at all. The momentum is good, while AC Milan are not doing well and the chances of scoring twice in a row are low, but Hoffenheim still have plenty of chances to score.

As the game progressed, Hoffenheim adjusted their tactics and they stopped attacking blindly. Rangnick began to keep his team focused on defense while playing AC Milan's counter-attack.

To say that Hoffenheim can only attack is not to say that they can't even defend rudimentally, but to say that their characteristics are more offensive. They can still play basic defensive counterattacks, and their characteristics are destined to be very threatening when they play defensive counterattacks.

Defending on the counter-attack was the right decision. Hoffenheim shrunk the defence and allowed the goal-based AC Milan to press up and then waited for an opportunity to play their quick counter-attack.

AC Milan certainly know it's going to be tough to deal with, but do they have any other options now? Hoffenheim could settle for a draw, but AC Milan cannot. They had to attack, and even though they knew Hoffenheim might use the void behind them to beat them into a sieve, they had no choice.

Allegri waved his arms on the sidelines for his players to press, constantly attacking, and when defending, he had to rely on offside tactics.

It seems that AC Milan is pressing Hoffenheim to play, and the momentum is like a rainbow. But every time Hoffenheim counterattacked, AC Milan fans were nervous.

"This is Ibrahimovic! He turned and shot!! Enyema! Pretty! ”

"Robinho! After that, break through again...... Chu beautiful shovel! ”

"It's Hoffenheim's counterattack! They are very fast! Sana ferried the football with his head to Chu Zhongtian, who rushed forward, Chu Zhongtian licked the football forward with his chest, and he passed it to Quaresma! Quaresma didn't continue to dribble the ball, but directly transferred a long diagonal pass with his right foot! Ibisevic received the ball! Direct Shot...... Off! ”

Now that the team has started to counter-attack and need speed when attacking, Ruud van Nistelrooy is not very useful. Rangnick then replaced the already somewhat exhausted Dutch veteran for the quicker Obasi. When counterattacking, the role of the bridgehead is not much, and the role is greater than that of the striker who can attack with the ball on his own. Obasi outcompeted Ruud van Nistelrooy in this regard.

After Obasi came on, Hoffenheim pushed faster on the counter-attack.

Of course, this also makes AC Milan even more uncomfortable.

※※※ In the seventy-fifth minute of the game, there were still fifteen minutes left before the end of the game, and the score was still tied 1:1.

Hopes of qualification are moving away from AC Milan unless they can score twice in fifteen minutes while keeping their defence clean of the net.

Allegri feels he should make substitutions to strengthen the attack, but who to replace?

He turned his head to look at the bench and missed Pato and Inzaghi very much. When he needs to score, he has only a tired Ibrahimovic and an inconsistent Robinho at his disposal...... Oh yes, and there's also a Ronaldinho!

He quickly called the Brazilian off the bench: "Go warm up!" ”

Ronaldinho thought he wouldn't play, but he didn't expect to be suddenly called up, a little confused. Seeing that he didn't react, Allegri pushed him: "Hurry up!" We don't have much time! ”

Ronaldinho then ran up.

Five minutes later, Ronaldinho came back from a warm-up and was replaced by Allegri.

He replaced Robinho and played as a second striker.

It's a lot better than playing as a center forward, and he can't feel it at all, especially when it's a tough game.

Ronaldinho's arrival made the Hoffenheim fans nervous. Although the former world best player has lost his dazzling aura, his ability is still there, his inspiration is still there, and no one knows when he will have a flash of inspiration and be killed by him.

Hoffenheim's countermeasure was to let Chu Zhongtian keep an eye on Ronaldinho in defence. It wasn't easy, as AC Milan had Ronaldinho and Andrea Pirlo two free-kick masters who couldn't foul the opposition in a sensitive area and give them a free-kick.

Therefore, fouling, the most commonly used method of defense, is not very useful.

Fortunately, today's Ronaldinho is no longer the omnipotent Ronaldinho of four years ago, the decline in physical fitness makes the former world footballer unable to do many actions, and he suddenly starts to accelerate to get rid of the opponent very reluctantly, and when he encounters a player with extremely excellent physical fitness like Chu Zhongtian, he completely stops, and can only control the ball on the spot and pass the ball on the spot, that is, his pass can also bring a little threat to Hoffenheim. But breaking the pass is very easy to do, everyone is in a good position, keeping the three lines compact and formation, and not giving the opponent any loopholes, and the pass lacks some penetration. If it were Ronaldinho in the past, his breakthrough could disrupt the opposition's defence before sending the ball into the air. Now when Ronaldinho is playing on his feet, he is much less of a threat.

Chu Zhongtian now just needs to get stuck in his position, not to be shaken off by Ronaldinho, and then pass the ball. Anyway, his teammates were all in their positions, and his passing was not too threatening.

Ronaldinho is indeed not as good as he used to be, and too much clubbing has ruined his football sense. It was not difficult for Chu Zhongtian to defend.

In this way, the two sides remained deadlocked until the 80th minute.

At this point, even AC Milan fans felt that there was little hope.

But that's when they scored!

Andrea Pirlo's long-range shot from outside the box deflected off Cimunic and flew in the exact opposite direction to Nyema's pounce.

And so the football flew into Hoffenheim's goal...... "The ball is in!" The ball is in!! The Italian narrator was so excited that he jumped up from his seat with his arms raised.

"Ball...... The ball is in! The ball went in! AC Milan are really lucky, and they need luck at this time! ”

Pirlo, who scored the goal, did not celebrate, and rushed straight into the goal. Someone was quicker than him, though, and the closest to goal was Ibrahimovic, who had already picked up the ball from the goal. Pirlo met him, and the two of them hugged each other and ran towards the middle circle.

Gattuso was so excited that he waved his hands at the AC Milan fans in the stands, asking them to stand up and cheer on his team.

The goal did blow up the slightly dull atmosphere that had been in place at the San Siro. Because the team never scored before, the hope of seeing the line is getting slimmer and slimmer, and everyone naturally has no strength to shout anything, and some people have even begun to leave the field early. Who would have thought that this ball would come suddenly, and the dawn of qualifying would be out again! All the AC Milan fans shouted after the football came in.

"Milan! Milan" also resounded in the sky above San Siro.

"Pirlo has made a meritorious service! His goal saved the day, and now AC Milan will beat Hoffenheim for qualification with just one more goal. And if you just score a goal, that's enough time! You know, this is AC Milan, their team has a lot more glorious history than Hoffenheim! I was wrong, did Hoffenheim ever have a glorious time!? ”

The Italian narrator is still unleashing his excitement.

AC Milan fans in the stands excitedly lit red fireworks in their hands, and the stands were shrouded in layers of fog, and only the red flames could be seen clearly, and these fogs even permeated the stadium.

It's a sight to see on the Serie A pitch and can often be seen, especially in winter. England fans are accustomed to singing to create the atmosphere of the stadium, German fans are shouting at super high decibels, and Italian fans like to use props such as fireworks.

Singing and shouting echoed over San Siro, so loud that you could barely hear what you were saying.

Chu Zhongtian, as the captain, is loudly encouraging his teammates to stabilize the military spirit that is a little flustered because of the loss of the ball.

"Don't panic! Even so, we're out! But they have one more goal to score, and for the rest of the game, they're definitely going to attack aggressively! Chu Zhongtian was in front of the door and shouted at his teammates around him. Keep defending and counterattacking! Keep defending and counterattacking! He raised his arm and motioned for everyone to look, and he was almost yelling, because if he didn't, almost no one would have heard what he was saying.

Then he ran to Obasi and Ibisevic in front of him, as well as Quaresma and Salihovic, patted them on the shoulder, and then pointed to the AC Milan goal in front of them and said: "We will have more chances in the future!" We need to score a goal and beat their morale! ”

"No problem!" Ibisevic said as he looked at the AC Milan goal.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge "Milan !!" suddenly sounded from the stands of the San Siro Stadium ”

The sound was deafening, causing everyone to frown.

"It's noisy!" Obasi complained.

"It's okay, I'm responsible for quieting them down." Chu Zhongtian said to Obasi: "Pass the ball to me after kickoff." ”

After a few people finished speaking, they separated, and the AC Milan players over there had already stood up and waited for Hoffenheim to kick off.

AC Milan fans in the stands were shouting loudly, hoping that the team would pull off a last-minute miracle so that they could see one of Europe's best matches at the stadium next February.

The game started again in such a crazy atmosphere.

Ibisevic knocked the football out gently, and Obassi did not take the ball forward, nor did he hesitate, but directly turned around and passed the football to Chu Zhongtian outside the center circle.

Under normal circumstances, Chu Zhongtian would pass the football back to induce the opponent to pounce, and there would be more space behind him, and then suddenly pass the ball forward. So Ibrahimovic let go of Obasia and Ibisevic, and was ready to run directly behind Chu Zhongtian to go around the front to defend - he thought Chu Zhongtian turned around and passed.

But this time it didn't happen, Chu Zhongtian took the football from Obasi forward, past the striker Ibrahimovic who came up to pounce on him.

Chu Zhongtian, who had waded past Ibrahimovic, brought the football forward.

Just when everyone thought he would continue to dribble the ball or pass the ball to the side, he came straight to a long-range shot!

"Chu ...... shoooooooooooooooooooooooooot！！ ”

A direct long-range shot from the middle circle!

The soccer ball barely spins at all, but it is powerful and fast, and it is still swinging slightly in the air, which looks unstable.

Abbiati, the goalkeeper who was originally standing very forward, saw this posture and quickly retreated, he didn't want to be the goalkeeper who was kicked off by his opponent in the center circle.

He felt the distance, jumped high, and the ball passed in front of his fingers! In the end, he hit the top of the net by grazing the goalpost...... "The ball didn't go in!" What a pity! ”

"It's incredible! At such a distance, a direct shot on goal almost went in......"

"Aha! Chu's kick looks really imposing! ”

Abbiati was lying in the goal, looking at the ball caught in the net, and there was some palpitations - just a little bit...... The San Siro Stadium, which was noisy just now, was very quiet at this time. The AC Milan fans who were singing and dancing were obviously frightened by Chu Zhongtian's kick, and they subconsciously stopped shouting and cheering and any actions to create a noise.

Even Chu Zhongtian's teammates didn't expect him to do this.

Obasi, who was rushing ahead, looked back at Chu Zhongtian in surprise. It turns out that his so-called "I'll quiet them down" is like this...... Chu Zhongtian stretched out his hand to him: "Look, it's much quieter." ”

His voice wasn't loud, but Obsi heard it clearly.

※※※Of course, this quiet is only temporary. This was followed by even more frantic boos and shouts from the AC Milan fans. The pressure on Hoffenheim has not decreased, but has increased.

It was in this frenzied atmosphere that AC Milan launched a wave of attacks against Hoffenheim.

Some people may criticize Chu Zhongtian for squandering a hard-won offensive opportunity. But Chu Zhongtian will not agree, in his opinion, what Hoffenheim needs today is not possession, but space - I have never heard that the team that plays defensive counterattacks will have a higher possession rate than the opponent, and possession is of little use to them, because when they get the ball, the opponent shrinks the defense, and they can't find a way to break the goal. Space is more important, and as long as there is space, the team defending and counter-attacking will be able to make the most of that space and threaten the opposition goal.

So he gave up possession and bought space. AC Milan who have won possession will definitely attack aggressively - that's for sure, they need to score, for that they have to attack, and in order to attack better, when their back line will be pressed, there will be a large area of unoccupied space behind them, which is exactly what Chu Zhongtian wants.

It seems that Hoffenheim's defense is very embarrassing, and every attack of AC Milan may penetrate Hoffenheim's goal, but in Chu Zhongtian's view, there are countless opportunities in it.

Just grab one...... One!

In the 87th minute, AC Milan pressed all over the line, and with little time left, they had to score as soon as possible, and this time even the centre-backs pressed past the halfway line.

Here's the chance!

Ronaldinho takes the ball, he looks to the left, but he actually wants to pass to the right. This is his usual trick. But for Chu Zhongtian, this didn't work.

He took a sharp step forward and rushed up for a close tackle to snatch the ball from Ronaldinho's feet. Ronaldinho was caught off guard and lost possession!

Chu Zhongtian, who grabbed the ball, did not leave the danger area with the ball, but passed the football directly on the spot.

It was not passed to Salihovic, nor to Quaresma, but to Ibisevic, who was at the front, but Obasi, who was a little further back than Ibisevic.

The ball flew past the AC Milan defence, and Obasi followed suit!

AC Milan kept playing offside in the closing stages of the game and got it every time. But this time, they didn't hear the referee's whistle, and both the linesman and the referee were running along, which meant that Obasi was not offside!

"Hoffenheim's counterattack! Here it comes! ”

The soccer ball sped through the air and fell, and Obbasi chased after the ball desperately on the ground, pushing his long legs to the maximum.

When the ball fell and bounced again, Obasi finally caught up with the ball and caught it. At this time, Thiago quickly returned to the defense. Silva is already stuck on his inside and risks losing the ball if he wants to cut inside.

However, Obasi did not intend to cut inside, he just caught the football and swept the ball sideways to the middle!

Football from Thiago. Silva flew in front of him and flew into the middle of the box.

Ibisevic slapped the horse and killed!

"Vedad. Ibisevic-"

Ibisevic takes a big step, his body sideways towards the goal, facing the incoming ball, his left foot supports his body, and his right foot is raised and swept away!

The ball changed lines and flew to the bottom left corner of the goal!

Abbiati flies to save!

At this time, everyone in the stands stood up from their seats, and everyone's hearts were lifted high.

With a bang, the ball rolled into the goal and rolled the net up!

“gooooooooooooooal！！！”

What does this mean? What does this mean?! ”

"The goal works! The goal works! Ibisevic!! He helped the team equalize! Hoffenheim's qualification is a foregone conclusion! ”
