Benzema's goal in the 86th minute helped Real Madrid equalize and avoid the fate of losing the game. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but this is definitely a blow to Hoffenheim. Originally, everyone thought that they could finally become the first team in Europe to defeat Real Madrid this season, but in the end, they fell short.

Benzema's previous mediocre performance made everyone ignore him, and he only stared at Ozil and Cristiano when defending. Ronaldo, and even Alonso, forgot to look at Benzema...... The news of Real Madrid's goal also stimulated AC Milan over there, since Real Madrid and Hoffenheim have drawn. They also regained their momentum to play.

Ronaldinho, who came on as a substitute in the 90th minute, scored the game-winning goal for AC Milan as Auxerre's counter-attack was extinguished.

And at the Rhine-Neckar Stadium, the match between Hoffenheim and Real Madrid is also over. In the end, after 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the two sides shook hands with a score of 2:2.

Real Madrid held on to their unbeaten run, which helped them return to Spain with a full level of confidence to take on arch-rivals Barcelona at Camp Nou.

For Hoffenheim, they missed out on an early qualification. Originally, they had this opportunity, but at the last moment, they lost it.

The Hoffenheim players, who returned to the dressing room, were still a little uncomposed, and they sat in their places in silence. Conceding a last-minute goal was a big blow to them.

Because of the last-minute draw, Hoffenheim's players were not in the mood to be interviewed, and one by one they quickly passed through the mixed zone with their heads down, so the reporters could only hold the head coach Rangnick and make sure he had a few words, although there was a post-match press conference later.

Chu Zhongtian returned to the locker room and saw everyone's listless appearance.

Of course, he was sorry to lose the victory at the last minute, but he saw something positive.

He slapped his face.

Everyone heard the sound of slapping and raised their heads.

Chu Zhongtian stood in the center of the locker room, looking at his teammates. "What's wrong with you, brothers? I don't think there's any need to be frustrated by this outcome. ”

In fact, after being scored by Benzema, Chu Zhongtian was quite disappointed. But now that the game is over, no matter how disappointed you are, you can only accept the result and try to find positive meaning in it. After all, he is the captain, he is the backbone of the whole team, if he looks like a mourner, then no one can count on his teammates.

"First of all, please think about which group we are in?" Chu Zhongtian stretched out his hand and asked. "We are in Group G, the Group of Death! This group has Real Madrid, AC Milan and Auxerre. But in such a group, where are we currently ranked? Second! We beat AC Milan at home and came close to beating Real Madrid, forcing them to equalise until the last minute. Did you see how crazy Benzema's celebration was after his goal? They almost treated it like a Champions League final. I've seen them do that once before, away at AC Milan, where they equalised in the last minute of stoppage time and were so excited. Look, brothers, we're already on the same level as AC Milan. There aren't many teams in the world that can push Real Madrid to this role, and we're one of them, so there's nothing to be frustrated about. ”

On the positive side, I found more confidence in this game.

"We came out of one of the toughest groups, is there anything else in the world that can scare us? No! Chu Zhongtian cheered loudly. Brothers, if I had doubts before the season about whether we could go further in the Champions League this season. So now I'm pretty sure we can go further! ”

Everyone looked at him with some confusion, not knowing where the captain's confidence came from.

'Because of the quality we showed in these group games, especially against Real Madrid. We came close to beating Real Madrid and there aren't many teams that can do that. I have a lot of confidence in our team now and I feel we can surprise everyone in the Champions League this season! ”

Then he laughed, "So there's nothing to be frustrated about, brothers. In the last game, we had three points more than AC Milan, as long as we didn't lose to them at the San Siro. The lead is clearly us, why are we so worried? ”

When he asked, everyone also reacted: Yes, obviously we are second in the group now, obviously we are more dominant in the group qualification, why is it us who sigh now, but it is AC Milan who cheers?

'Now AC Milan must be cheering and in the final round, they play at home, and if they win by two goals against us, they will qualify. But when the time comes, we'll have to tell them that it's all wishful thinking! ”

Chu Zhongtian said to everyone with a wave of his fist.

"Chu is right!" Ibisevic was the first to stand up, and he said to everyone: "Yes! Why should the leading be afraid of falling behind? AC Milan are a respectable team, but we're not weak! We've beaten them before, so there's nothing to be afraid of! ”

"It's a big deal! We also won 3-1 at home to Inter Milan last season, only to lose on penalties. But it was a group stage, no penalties. Since we can make Inter Milan unable to eat and go around, we can also make AC Milan fall behind! ”

The original frustration of everyone Chu Zhongtian said rose again, and they got up from their seats one by one and roared, saying that they wanted to fight AC Milan to the death.

Chu Zhongtian roared with them.

"We should be the ones who make it out of the group!!"

The helplessness and frustration of turning three points into one point turned into a pledge meeting in Hoffenheim.

Rangnick and a group of his coaching staff were standing at the door of the locker room, and the roars of the players inside could be heard clearly.

Rangnick looked back to his colleagues and smiled, "Look. I was worried that a last-minute draw would hurt the morale of the team, but now it seems to be fine. ”

"Chu did an awesome job. He even did what we couldn't......" assistant coach Marich sighed.

"That's what a leader should do." Rangnick shrugged. "I knew he had the ability. He was a natural leader because of his unrelenting quest for victory. ”

After saying that, he turned to everyone and said, "Gentlemen, let's wait patiently. At this time, it is not a good choice to push the door in. ”

Everyone nodded: "That's right." Let's keep making noise for a while, haha! ”

※※※ No one knows what is going on in the locker room in Hoffenheim, which is a no-go zone for the media. Neither the Hoffenheim players nor the coach revealed this to the outside world.

Jose Mourinho was not too happy with the draw after the game, believing that Real Madrid deserved to win based on their quality. Rangnick also made a rare hard move, saying that he was not happy with the result either, because from the perspective of the game, it was only fair and reasonable for them to take the three points.

The river mussels compete, and the fishermen benefited. While both Real Madrid and Hoffenheim were unhappy with the draw, AC Milan's media were happy.

Allegri's Great Victory! 》

"Tired Ibrahimovic is also powerful! 》

"Decisive Battle! San Siro! 》

"Milan have the upper hand in the race to qualify from the group"

…… Optimism runs through the city of Milan.

This sentiment has spread to Milanero and, of course, to the players at AC Milan. After the game, when they heard that Real Madrid had drawn with Hoffenheim, everyone said that the result was not very good, but it was acceptable, because now they can fight Hoffenheim in the last group game, and they are playing at home in the last group game, so they have the advantage in this game.

Of course, the best outcome for them would be for Real Madrid to beat Hoffenheim, so that if they can beat Hoffenheim in the final round, even if it is a narrow one-goal victory, it will be fine. They will overpower their opponents in points.

Now even if they win Hoffenheim, the points of the two teams are only the same, both are ten points, and it depends on the relationship between each other's wins and losses, and the relationship between Milan and Hoffenheim is one win and one loss. The relationship between winners and losers is the same, depending on the goal difference of the two sides. Now, before the last game is played, Hoffenheim and AC Milan have a goal difference of one and AC Milan have one, while AC Milan have a minus one. AC Milan only need a narrow 1-0 win at home to Hoffenheim to put the goal difference on the same page – both of which are nil. In the case of goal difference, and then compare the number of away goals when playing against each other, at this time AC Milan has another away goal, while Hoffenheim has none, so AC Milan has the advantage, and their final ranking in the group stage will overtake Hoffenheim, move up to second, and also qualify as the second in the group.

Although finishing second in the group is not quite in line with their status as a first-tier team, at this time, AC Milan has long been unable to care about their identity or anything, as long as they can qualify, thank God.

Overall, after some analysis, AC Milan found that their group qualification situation was actually better than Hoffenheim, who are currently second in the group, so they were full of confidence in qualifying from the group one by one.

Since the draw at home to Real Madrid, Allegri has found a way to control the team, and the trust of the whole team in him has increased day by day, and he has finally become the "AC Milan manager" in the truest sense of the word. The team is in very good form at the moment, not to mention just a goal win at home to Hoffenheim, even if he wins more goals, he is confident.

The only thing to worry about was Ibrahimovic telling reporters after the match against Auxerre that he was tired.

Looks like I'm going to have to talk to Ibrahim. Let's see how he's doing. Now Ibrahimovic is the absolute pillar of AC Milan. Barcelona have Messi and Real Madrid have Cristiano. Ronaldo, while AC Milan have Ibrahimovic. Although this person's character makes people have different opinions, his strength is still beyond doubt.

If he's really tired, then there's still two weeks left until the final group game, so he can take a proper break and adjust.

If he wasn't that tired, he would have to persevere. Inzaghi has already bid farewell to the season early due to a serious injury, Robinho has been in Milan with a mediocre performance, not enough to provoke the beam, and Ibrahimovic has not had much time to rest. Since his role at AC Milan is as important as Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's C. Ronaldo, he will have as much playing time as those two.

AC Milan can't do without him today.

Allegri was optimistic, but Allegri learned to be obedient, and in an interview with reporters, he praised Hoffenheim as a very strong team, and never mentioned that his team could beat Hoffenheim at home.

However, when the player was interviewed, he accidentally leaked the optimism within the team.

Robinho said in an interview: "Of course the draw between Hoffenheim and Real Madrid is good news for us. That means we just have to win 1:0 at the San Siro. We're in good shape right now, so I don't think it's a problem......"

Boateng is also confident: "Of course we will qualify. I don't think Milan fans can imagine that we can't be in the knockout rounds, and so are we! ”

※※※ On the Hoffenheim side, Rangnick was asked by a reporter to draw Real Madrid, only three points ahead of AC Milan, and the last round was an away challenge to AC Milan, when there was pressure to qualify, he replied: "Pressure? Of course. But there is pressure in any game and our players have long been used to playing under pressure. In the second leg of the quarter-finals last season, we were under a lot of pressure and it wasn't small. The result? If it hadn't been for our luck in the penalty shoot-out, maybe last season's Champions League winner would have been re-selected. ”

He also seemed confident.

His confidence came from the passionate shouts he heard outside the locker room door.

What do Hoffenheim's players think of this final group game?

"Our goal is to qualify." Ibisevic is also confident.

Salihovic first praised AC Milan: "AC Milan are a great team, they have a lot of high-level players. But ......," he said. 'We also have a lot of good team-mates and I think if we play our best, we can get out of the group...... Shouldn't be a problem, right? ”

The Chinese reporter ran to Chu Zhongtian and asked: "Isn't it a pity that we are only four minutes away from beating Real Madrid at home?" ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Of course it's a pity, everyone hopes to defeat them." No one can beat them yet. ”

"But it's a good result not to lose to Real Madrid?"

"It's just a little bit better than the worst, we were going to win...... But that's football. He shrugged.

'Now you're three points away from AC Milan and the last game is at the San Siro and it's a game worth six points. Did you anticipate such a dire situation? ”

"I don't think it's serious. Because we played against AC Milan in the final group game, it was easy – as long as we didn't lose to them, we qualified. ”

"But your defense is not superior......"

"The best defense is offense. That's what we're good at. ”

After the interview, the Chinese reporter posted that Chu Zhongtian was full of confidence - "He is more confident than the other Hoffenheim players we have interviewed before." ”

Of course, his confidence has also caused a big battle among fans on the Chinese Internet at home. This is also a characteristic of Chinese fans, who are always used to insulting each other's relatives on the Internet for teams from other countries...... ※※※ Now the match against AC Milan is obviously the top priority for Hoffenheim, so after the match against Real Madrid, Rangnick made a very targeted adjustment to the team's training, so that the players can learn how to play against AC Milan away in the past two weeks.

As for the league...... Once again, it was reduced to a training ground for Hoffenheim.

Although they have fallen from first to second, Rangnick doesn't care. He's already won the league title, so as long as he can guarantee the top three in the league. But the Champions League is a new stage, a battlefield he has never conquered, and he is eager to build on it.

This match against AC Milan will be more difficult than the first leg between the two sides. Although they are missing an Inzaghi, their main centre-back Thiago is missing. Silva is back and his return has greatly strengthened the team's defence. His centre-back partnership with Nesta is a big reason why they have been able to stay ahead of the league rankings.

And his absence is also considered to be one of the important reasons for AC Milan's away losses to Hoffenheim and Real Madrid.

Rangnick's strategy was to get the strikers to draw the attention of the AC Milan centre-backs, and then the midfielders could cut in from behind to deliver the fatal blow. That is to say, in the game with AC Milan, the main role of the striker is not to score, but to contain, and the main force of scoring is the midfielder, such as Salihovic, such as Chu Zhongtian, such as Quaresma...... This would spread out AC Milan's advantage at centre-back, which is slightly weaker in midfield than their centre-backs.

Hoffenheim had never used this tactic before, whether it was just in the Bundesliga or the Bundesliga, and the striker was always the main scorer for Hoffenheim in previous seasons. Obasi, Ibisevic and Demba, who has left the team. The three strikers are all very good at scoring goals, so Demba . Ba will be favored by Stuttgart...... But left Demba in Hoffenheim. Ba Ba Bang has not been satisfied, and he has now been reduced to a substitute striker for Stuttgart. After leaving Hoffenheim, he found that if Chu Zhongtian, Salihovic, Eduardo and others continued to deliver shells to his feet, his goal tally would have plummeted.

The strikers were the main scorers for Hoffenheim, and the midfielders were the ones who created chances. This is the impression that Hoffenheim has given to everyone for a long time.

Rangnick hopes that his arrangement can give AC Milan some "surprise".

Hopefully AC Milan will like it then.
