Chapter 48: Hello, Bayern

readx;

At the last moment, Rangnick finished arranging everything that needed to be arranged, and then he clapped his hands and motioned for everyone's attention to be on him again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

'A lot of you joined the team last season, when they were in the second division. Who would have thought that a year later we would be here to challenge Bayern Munich and make Bayern Munich very nervous? ”

Hoffenheim's players looked at each other, they really didn't dare to think about it a year ago. At that time, they were not in a good position in the second division, and it was not known whether they would be promoted at the end of the season. At that time, the owner of Hope set a promotion plan for the club to return to the Bundesliga within five years.

I didn't think it would be a success in a year. What is even more unexpected is that after rushing to the Bundesliga, it has been so smooth, and now occupies the first place in the Bundesliga standings, with Bayern Munich, Hamburg, Wolfsburg ...... Wait for a strong team to be firmly pressed under him.

"Look at the Karl Benz Stadium, how many fans did we have when we first played there? And how many are there now? If you look at the Allianz Arena, there were 70,000 fans watching us play today. It was broadcast live from 167 countries around the world, including Mexico, the United States, France, Japan, ...... And even China. ”

Hearing this, some of everyone turned their heads and glanced at Chu Zhongtian, who smiled at everyone. A week before the game, his father called him and told him that CCTV was already broadcasting commercials, and Chu Zhongtian was the protagonist in the film, and he was alone against the entire powerful Bayern.

"They're all watching us and it's a great opportunity for us to show the world that if we miss it, we won't have it again. Before that, there were a lot of criticisms and rumors about us from the outside world, and I had read those words, which were very nonsense and unreasonable, but some people believed it, because we did not make a strong response, so many people could only choose to believe it -- we did not give them a reason to believe us, not to believe the rumors. Now's your chance, lads. This is the best stage, just the main character is missing! So, what are you waiting for? ”

※※※ Players from both sides stand in the aisle, waiting to play.

The live broadcast was introducing the names of the players from both sides of the game, starting with the names of the Hoffenheim fans, and each time one was announced, all but the 6,500 Hoffenheim fans responded with boos.

Abel sat on the stone steps, the Bayern fans around him booing the hardest. Daniel even shushed and scolded. Looking at the blue patch of blue in the stands across the pitch, Abel felt like pins and needles. If he sits there, he can cheer for Hoffenheim with his companions.

And now he doesn't dare to show any emotions, he stands in the middle of the most hardcore Bayern fans, and if he wants to watch this game safely, it is better not to do anything that angers the other party.

The live broadcast quickly filled the Hoffenheim list, followed by Bayern Munich's. Every time the name of a Bayern Munich player is read out, there are deafening cheers from the stands. The people around Abel roared wildly.

A few others yelled at Abel's ears and sprayed him with foaming stars all over his face.

This is how the live broadcast reads the list - starting with the substitute list, when the starting list is read, the players on both sides happen to be playing, so the announcer starts with the first Bayern player to come out, and each name will get a lot of cheers.

Chu Zhongtian led the way at the front of the line, he looked up at the stands, it was different from when he was warming up, there were many more people, the stands were completely full, and he could hardly find any empty seats.

This is really the best stage.

Bayern fans in the stands are shouting the names of the players on the field. Walking beside him was Bayern Munich's captain Van Murphy. Beaumel. The Dutchman is the first foreign captain in Bayern Munich's history.

The Hoffenheim players were still shocked by the atmosphere when they played, the huge stadium, the towering stands, and the huge noise of 70,000 people at the same time made people temporarily deaf to their ears, and it seemed that they could not hear what the other party was saying when they were close at hand.

This is Bayern Munich's home stadium, and this is the temple of German football - Allianz Arena.

Camper looked up at the packed stadium stands and almost forgot to walk forward, but it was Baker who pushed him from behind.

Compper was definitely not the only one who looked up, and many Hoffenheim players were stunned by what they saw when they entered.

Hoffenheim have also played a few traditional powerhouses so far this season, as well as away games. For example, they lost to Bayer Leverkusen at the Bayer Arena, and they have also been to the Weser Stadium, home of Werder Bremen, and the Olympic Stadium Berlin, the home of Hertha Berlin. They lost all three of them, but none of them were as shocking as the Allianz Arena today. Bayer Stadium can only accommodate more than 22,000 people, and although it was full at the time, it was much less visually impactful. Werder Bremen's Weser Arena has a capacity of 42,000 people, and it's all full. Hertha Berlin's Olympic Stadium was huge, and the game went to 58,000 people, but because it was a complex stadium with a running track between the stadium and the stands, it didn't feel oppressive despite the crowds.

The Allianz Arena is different, it is the first stadium in Germany where the fan stands and the stadium are in close contact, there is no running, there is no arc area near the corner flag area, just like the stadium in England, the players can even shake hands with the fans behind them when they take a corner. This allows the fans to be closer to the pitch and the players can easily hear the fans on the pitch, giving them a fresh experience that has never been seen before. Of course, it's also a very big pressure for the away players.

Most Hoffenheim players are not used to such a pitch, and when they turn their heads, they can see the hideous expressions of Bayern Munich fans in the stands.

Chu Zhongtian was calm, he watched a lot of this meeting when he played in England, and when he played in the amateur league, the fans stood on the sideline of the stadium to watch the game.

After entering the stadium, players from both sides lined up to take pictures and then shook hands with each other.

After these necessary procedures, Chu Zhongtian walked out of the team and Fan. Beaumel converges in front of the referees. The captains of the two teams pick sides.

Chu Zhongtian got the right to pick the edge, he took a look, chose the half where the team is now, and did not make changes.

respectively and Fan. After Bommel shook hands with the four referees, he ran back.

"They'll kick off first!" He shouted at his teammates.

Someone gave him a thumbs up to signal that he had heard.

"Pay attention to the defense first! Don't let them score! ”

※※※ "The game is about to begin, let's take a look at a few key figures in the game," said Marcel, the German premiere TV commentator. Leif said to the camera, and the next second there were close-ups of several players on the field on the TV screen, and under the close-ups of each player, there were various statistics of the player's fifteen league games this season.

It was Ribery who came first, then Tony.

On Hoffenheim's side are Ibisevic and Chu Zhongtian.

"What do you think of these four men, Franz?" Leif said to the man sitting next to him.

The camera pans to the man next to him. The man wore a pair of glasses and looked elegant, with a somewhat bald forehead. All Germans will not be unfamiliar with this face, because it is the hero of their country's football, the "Emperor of Football" - Franz. Beckenbauer (franz_beckenbauer). He was a guest commentator and commentator for the game.

'Franck Ribery has been in great form lately, comparable to Messi. Both of them are the best players in the world at the moment...... No. Beckenbauer corrected, "They are even dancers, not players." They play like dancing and are as mesmerizing as art. ”

As the former president of FC Bayern Munich and the current representative of the German Football Association for international affairs, Beckenbauer has a very deep affection for Bayern Munich. Naturally, there is more praise for Bayern's players. But he is also telling the truth, Ribery's recent form has been surprisingly good, he sank with the team at the beginning of the league, and now Bayern Munich's outburst is inseparable from his form.

'Toney is also good, scoring in four games in a row. He is Bayern's top scorer and his role at Bayern is irreplaceable. There are only two players in the Bundesliga who are violated more often than him. His one-on-one ability is also excellent, and he is better than Ibisevic. I think for the Hoffenheim defenders, Toney will be a big problem for them in this game. ”

"As for Ibisevic...... He's in good shape, and he doesn't look like an earthling. I don't need to say too much, there's been a lot of talk about him lately and I think everyone knows what kind of striker Ibisevic is. If Bayern Munich wants to win, they will have to pay attention to the defense against the Bosnian and Black people. ”

"Speaking of Chu ......"

Leif interjected: "Speaking of Chu, everyone still remembers Rangnick's words before the season, and he thinks Chu can be a Summerer and another Beckenbauer. What do you think, Franz? ”

Beckenbauer smiled: "That's very, very, very hard. ”

In this sentence, he did not talk much about this topic.

'Chuo is a very good player, I've watched a few of his games, he's got a clear mind in midfield, he knows what to do and how to do it. It's remarkable. I think he should be a first-class player if he has enough opportunities. ”

"Does this opportunity refer to Bayern......

"Nope. I respect Hoffenheim, they are a club with a lot of ideas. "Although Beckenbauer is no longer with Bayern, he still represents the will of Bayern. He has now denied the possibility of Chu Zhongtian joining Bayern Munich. But I don't know if it's really not interested, or if it's a smoke bomb.

"Okay, the game is going to start right away, let's get back to the scene."

The players on both sides have already stood up according to their respective formations on the screen, and this game, which has been dubbed "Germany's national derby" and "Germany's battle of the century" by the German media, is about to break out.

※※※ Klinsmann was off the field and saw Hoffenheim's starting lineup and was a little surprised. He found that Gustavo appeared in the middle of the court, but Chu Zhongtian was not by his side.

Hoffenheim's starting line-up he got before the game, and it was only the list, not the line-up, so he didn't know where the players were, but he could guess the line-up from the usual position of each player. Hoffenheim played two midfielders - Chu Zhongtian and Gustavo, he thought that Lannick would focus on defense in this game, so he sent two midfielders to start, and Eduardo played his favorite midfielder in the front alone.

When it was time to really come to the game, through on-the-spot observation, he found that he had made a mistake. Gustavo is a midfielder, but Chu Zhongtian is not.

Where is Chu Zhongtian?

On the sidelines!

On this sideline very close to him.

Judging from this pre-match position, Chu Zhongtian is not playing as a back, but ...... Full-back!

Klinsmann was not the only one who was surprised, but also Ribery.

The first half of the game was Bayern Munich's kick-off, and while Toney and Klose were in the centre circle preparing to kick off, Ribery stood at the intersection of the halfway line and the touchline. That way, when the ball comes out, he can quickly cut forward, cross the halfway line and follow the touchline to Hoffenheim's 30-metre area.

But today things were not right, not far in front of him, there stood a man he knew all too well.

He looked at Chu Zhongtian in surprise, and Chu Zhongtian smiled and waved his hand at him: Hello, Frank.

Leif also noticed this adjustment in Hoffenheim's lineup: "Chu actually played ...... Right midfielder? ”

Beckenbauer glanced at the situation on the field, and then smiled: "This must be Rangnick's idea, he intends to use Chu to curb Ribery's play." ”

"Kechu has never played on the wing, he has always been the heart of the midfield at Hoffenheim, and the whole team has come from him."

"It's clear that Rangnick wants to contain Bayern's attack by containing Ribery."

"But is it worth sacrificing your playmaking skills in midfield?"

"Just read on, Marcel."

In the middle of the conversation between Leif and Beckenbauer, the referee finally blew the whistle for the start of the game.

"CCTV! Cctv! You are now watching the first match of the 16th round of the German Bundesliga, with Bayern Munich hosting Hoffenheim! Now the race begins! Duan Bin's voice rang out.

"Wearing the blue shirt on the pitch is Hoffenheim, who are promoted but currently top of the league. Attacking from right to left in the red jersey is Bayern Munich, who are second in the league. It's a battle for first and second place in the league! ”

※※※ Tony knocks the ball to Klose, and Klose passes it back to Van who is waiting behind. Beaumel.

And Ribery rushed across the middle line at the same time as the whistle sounded, and rushed straight towards Chu Zhongtian, he wanted to confirm this matter - whether Chu Zhongtian was specially here to deal with him.

Van Bommel saw Ribery rushing forward and made a long pass of the ball to him.

Ribery raised his foot against the sideline to unload the football beautifully, and when he looked up again, Chu Zhongtian was really horizontal in front of him.

"Are you here to defend me, Chu?"

Chu Zhongtian didn't say anything, and Ribery stopped talking, and after making an inward feint, he slammed the ball forward along the sideline. Chu Zhongtian quickly turned around and pasted it, the bodies of the two people collided together, and then Chu Zhongtian's center of gravity sank, pulling Ribery's clothes with one hand, keeping balance with the other, and shoveling off his lower foot!

Ribery knew what he was going to do as soon as he saw Chu Zhongtian sticking it, so he quickly poked the football forward with his toes. The price of doing so was that he put himself in a very dangerous position.

Chu Zhongtian didn't tackle the ball, but he tackled Ribery. The latter was knocked out of the court by Chu Zhongtian as soon as his body was crooked. It fell right in front of Hoffenheim's bench.

The Hoffenheim players there stood up to cheer for Chu Zhongtian, while behind them were the loud protests of the Bayern fans.

"Oh! The game was interrupted just after the start and referee Meyer blew his whistle. It looks like Hoffenheim's Chu has been fouled! That's right, Rangnick made a surprise change in this game, he asked Chu to keep an eye on his teammate Ribery in Metz! Both of them are very familiar with each other, and Ribery and Chu are also a pair of good friends off the field, and the duel between the two of them will be very interesting in this game! ”

The referee's whistle sounded at the same time as Ribery fell. Chu Zhongtian was still sitting on the ground, just like Ribery next to him stretched out his hand.

"Come and say hi. Hello, Frank. How do you feel? ”

Ribery grinned: "Damn, you should be sent straight off with a red card!" He complained in his mouth, but handed his hand to Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian pulled him up from the ground. "Until I'm punished, hopefully you'll hold on." He patted Ribery on the shoulder and ran away.

The referee ran over at this time and gestured to Chu Zhongtian to remind him to pay attention to his movements.

Chu Zhongtian nodded obediently, indicating that he remembered.

Ribery moved his ankle, there was no problem, although Chu Zhongtian's kick did not tackle the ball, it was not aimed at his ankle, so he was not injured.

It was not the first time he had played against Chu Zhongtian in an official match. Last season he represented Bayern Munich and Chu Zhongtian represented Metz, and the two played each other twice in the UEFA Cup, but he felt that those two games were completely different from this one, and Chu Zhongtian showed his aggressive side as soon as he came up.

Is this a warning?

He looked up at Chu Zhongtian, who was directing his teammates to defend.

Memories of playing in Metz popped back to mind. At that time, they went to challenge Lyon away, and everyone was optimistic about Lyon before the game, and Ribery told Chu Zhongtian that Brazilian Juninho would be the object of his attention. As a result, as soon as the game started, Chu Zhongtian rushed up and gave Juninho a dismount and knocked him to the ground. When he came back, Chu Zhongtian said that it was his way of greeting...... At that time, he was still very happy and gave a thumbs up to Chu Zhongtian's behavior.

Now when it was his turn to bear this "greeting", he saw Ibisevic giving a thumbs up to Chu Zhongtian...... Damn it! You two!
