Chapter 247: Benzema's Redemption

readx;

AC Milan fans really wronged Mourinho, except for going head-to-head with AC Milan, he really couldn't deliberately frame AC Milan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After conceding the goal, he stood on the sidelines and shouted the names of Mesut Ozil and Benzema. Looking at him, these two talents are the key to changing the situation. Cristiano. Ronaldo has been thoroughly studied by the other party and stared to death. Aside from that goal in the first half, more often than not, he has to rely on free-kicks to make a difference. His breakthroughs were still sharp and his passing was good, but his shots were almost unlucky. However, Ozil and Benzema are not under heavy defensive pressure, and there may still be opportunities.

Although they can also qualify from the group if they lose to Hoffenheim, Real Madrid is definitely not the kind of team that can be satisfied by qualifying from the group. Losing before the national derby was a huge blow to the team's morale. He had to get his team to walk into the Camp Nou with a lot of confidence. So this game can't be lost anyway!

After Di Maria came on the pitch, he did bring more vitality to Real Madrid's attack.

His dribbling and break-through were sharp, forcing Hoffenheim to focus more on defending, which indirectly extinguished the fire of passion that had just been ignited by the goal.

But Hoffenheim doesn't care much about it, anyway, now they are leading, not Real Madrid.

Hoffenheim fans in the stands were singing non-stop and cheering on their team. If we can beat Real Madrid at home, it's definitely something to be happy about for a week – something that no one in Europe can do, and we did!

"Come on! Hoffenheim! ”

"Rush, Hoffenheim!!"

※※※When concentrating on defense, Chu Zhongtian went to Cristiano. Ronaldo. After completing the plan, Lorik. Sana returned to his original position, keeping an eye on Ozil, while Chu Zhongtian was more agile and maneuverable. He chose the most difficult target for himself, and again and again he singled out Ronaldo in defense.

This is a matchup between two of the most influential stars of the game, and they have won and lost each other, sometimes Ronaldo can win, and sometimes Chu Zhongtian can win.

Although it was on the defensive, Hoffenheim's defensive counter-attack was also sharp, forcing Real Madrid to have some people behind.

As long as Chu Zhongtian has a chance in the backfield, he will directly make a long pass to Ibisevic in front of him, and rely on Ibisevic's ability to find opportunities alone. Therefore, he did not let Ibisevic go back to defend anyway. It doesn't matter if there is one less striker in the defense, anyway, he is very good at running, very good at grabbing, and one person can use three people, so in terms of numbers, even without Ibisevic, Hoffenheim still takes advantage...... It's a pity that Ibisevic is not the world's top striker after all, not a player with strong individual ability like Benzema, Higuain, Messi, and Villa, who can go straight to Huanglong with the ball alone.

The commentator saw that Ibisevic had wasted several chances and said: "If these are replaced by Benzema, they will all score a hat-trick......

The conversation shifted to Benzema.

Nearly 80 minutes into the game, Benzema, who started the game, still did not score. Mourinho has given him the chance to start this game because he has been in good performances before coming off the bench and it will be a crucial game and Mourinho will be hoping that Benzema can play his part. But so far Benzema has not performed, is it another failed starting trip? Is it really only possible to be a "super sub"?

Benzema didn't work hard in this game, running around the middle and wide flanks, sprinting back, passing and shooting, dribbling him everything.

But it was just a little bit away from scoring. It's always a little bit worse, and then it's a lot worse.

Benzema certainly knows what this game means to him, and if he can't score in the game and Real Madrid loses this game, the media will be criticizing him after the game. Just like they did with Higuain - Higuain was also outstanding last season, being the top scorer in the Real Madrid team, even beating Cristiano. Ronaldo, who was hailed by the media when he scored, squandered a few chances in the Champions League quarter-final against Lyon, which eventually led to the team's elimination, and the news in the media that he was going to be traded to Manchester United and so on.

Benzema has tasted this before, and when he continues to be in a slump, Manchester United, Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Chelsea are his future destinations. For Benzema, his idea now is simple: to prove himself at Real Madrid. Even if you want to leave in the future, don't leave as a loser.

So he has to score in this game!

I am striker Benzema, I am not a "super substitute" for Shenma, let alone the king of assists...... I'm going to be the hero who saves the team! Pass me the ball and I'm going to score!

The presence of Di Maria has stretched Hoffenheim's defence a little stretched, and the Argentine angel is too flexible to play on the right flank, while Hoffenheim's left-back Kolarov struggles to deal with him.

After Chu Zhongtian found out about this situation, he decided to give up Ronaldo and run to help Kolarov.

When Di Maria used a feint to trick Kolarov into cutting inside from the middle, Chu Zhongtian caught up with him, and a very unceremonious big foot cleared the siege, not only kicked the football out, but also raised his knee high and almost hit Di Maria's chin.

Di Maria, who was taken aback, jumped up to dodge, and he quickly raised his hand to complain to the referee.

The referee blew the whistle and awarded Real Madrid a free kick, and at the same time gave Chu Zhongtian a verbal warning.

Chu Zhongtian nodded in acceptance, but he didn't take the referee's warning to heart. While being warned by the referee, the Hoffenheim captain kept his eyes on Di Maria. He believed that the Argentines should have felt it.

The Argentines did feel it. He always felt that someone was staring at him, and he followed his gaze and found that it was Chu Zhongtian. Seeing his face, he thought of the scene when his jaw was almost smashed by the other party's knee just now, and he couldn't help but feel some pain under his mouth...... This is the result that Chu Zhongtian is pursuing.

As Sana said to Rangnick, his goal in defense is not to grab the ball, but to make the opponent always think he will do it. He put a mental strain on Di Maria, who was just coming on the pitch, and that was enough. The next time the two of them face each other again, as long as he appears next to Di Maria, it will make him have some psychological fluctuations.

In this way, one's purpose has been achieved.

※※※The time of the game entered the 80th minute. The ball possession for this match is shown at the bottom of the screen. With this period of onslaught, Real Madrid had the upper hand in possession, and they temporarily led by 53 per cent to 47 per cent.

Real Madrid also surpassed Hoffenheim in the number of shots on goal, 16 to 14. Real Madrid had seven shots on target and Hoffenheim five.

Real Madrid are gradually gaining the upper hand.

However, it is also related to the contraction of Hoffenheim. With little time left after taking the lead, Rangnick gave his team instructions to defend and counter-attack just to be on the safe side.

A coach like Rangnick would defend when he needs a win, and it's a real compelling situation.

Real Madrid's offensive is too fierce, watching the video may not be deep, you really play against them on the field, you know, what kind of pressure your team is playing.

Mourinho made another substitution off the pitch when he saw that his team still failed to score, replacing Lassena with Granero. Diarra replaced full-back Arbeloa with Canales and moved Ramos to the wing to strengthen the attack.

'Mourinho made a substitution and he must now regret not taking Higuain with him...... When he needs to score, he only has Benzema at his disposal. Before the start of the season, Mourinho asked the Real Madrid hierarchy for a classic centre-forward, such as Llorente, Drogba and Romelu Lukaku. But Florentino did not satisfy him. Now he must really want a center forward like that, and in this stalemate situation, he can open up the situation for the team......"

Granero and Canales came on to bring signals to continue to strengthen the attack. It was a last-ditch fight for Mourinho, who would never allow his side to lose to a team from the German countryside at Sinsheim.

This scene must be familiar to many Real Madrid fans. At the San Siro, AC Milan relied on an offside goal to lead Real Madrid, and Mourinho fought desperately to replace Pedro. León and Benzema, replacing central defender Pepe, stepped up the attack. As a result, in the 90th minute, Benzema assisted León to score the equaliser, which dashed AC Milan's hopes of winning all three points at home and kept Mourinho unbeaten.

It's still the same game. Removing a defender and adding attacking players to just three defenders at the back, two of whom still need to assist full-backs.

Hoffenheim's quick counter-attack was sharp and Mourinho certainly knew that. But at this moment, he can't take care of defense, if he doesn't score, no matter how good the defense is, it's useless. He just needs to score now.

"The game went into the last ten minutes. Real Madrid made a last-ditch stance......"

Rangnick made a substitution as well. He replaced Kolarov with Pogatts to strengthen the defense on the left and contain Di Maria. Then he replaced Ibiševic with Gago so that the midfield was a back three, which he hopes to use against Real Madrid's strong midfield line-up.

After Gago came on the field, he brought Chu Zhongtian the latest instructions from the head coach - reduce the number of times he presses forward, defend more in the backfield, have offensive opportunities, use long passes to counterattack, and if he wants to dribble the ball himself, it is okay, but the team will not give him much support in attack anyway.

Defensively, Sana went to keep an eye on Mesut Ozil, Gago was in charge of the overall situation, and Chu Zhongtian was targeting Alonso.

※※※ In the remaining ten minutes, Real Madrid almost pressed through the half, and wave after wave of attacks made Hoffenheim unable to even lift his head.

"Cristiano. Ronaldo - Long shot! ”

"The football hit Simunich and bounced out......"

"Di Maria tried to break through! He fell! The Real Madrid player thought it should have been a penalty, but the referee refused to award it...... In slow motion, Di Maria's fall is somewhat exaggerated......"

"Ozil's movements are light, he wears his crotch past Sana! Pretty! But Sana soon chased back...... Ozil's stamina seems to have suffered. However, Mourinho has used up all three substitutions, and even if he can't run, Ozil can only stand on the pitch. He's really tired and hasn't had much rest since the World Cup......"

"This is the duel between Chu Zhongtian and Alonso! Two midfield commanders...... Alonso encountered a very strong block, and Chu Zhongtian's close defense made him very uncomfortable, and he basically couldn't send that kind of deadly ball......"

"That's when Canales should take on the heavy lift...... But he was too young and the fight was too intense for him. ”

"Granero's performance is average, he has not been in form for a while......"

"Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldo - he's so fast! I just grabbed in front of Srna and caught up with the ball! Cross! Enyema hit, and Benzema, who was following behind, didn't hit it! Listen to the exclamations from the stands...... What a shame! ”

At this time, not only Real Madrid fans at the Rhein-Neckar Stadium, but also AC Milan fans in France are also watching the game, and those AC Milan fans in Italy are constantly switching between the two channels.

AC Milan are still just one goal ahead, and they felt as if they had lost their fighting spirit when they heard that Hoffenheim were ahead of Real Madrid. However, Auxerre saw that the game was coming to an end and was only one goal behind, and the AC Milan players were a little absent-minded and listless, and they saw hope and began to try to attack. So this 1-0 for AC Milan is very unsafe and they could be equalized at any time.

On the other side, Real Madrid are attacking Hoffenheim's goal, as if the opportunity to score will come at any moment.

As long as Real Madrid can level the scoreline and AC Milan win against Auxerre, this final group game will be a decisive one.

AC Milan fans have forgotten their feud with Real Madrid at this time, forgetting Mourinho and Cristiano. What a hated person Ronaldo is, he has refueled Real Madrid. They are expecting a miracle to happen, and will a miracle really happen?

※※※ Alonso put more energy into dealing with Chu Zhongtian, and he had to hand over the task of organizing the attack to others.

The young Canales was unable to hold up the bar, while Granero was in mediocre form.

At this time, although Ozil was tired, he was still needed to organize the attack.

A team-mate passed the football to Mesut Ozil.

Against Sana's close defence, Mesut Ozil struggled to know that once he was on his feet, the goal was conceded. He has played Sana twice in the Bundesliga in each season, and once in the German League Cup (the Super Cup, similar to the English League Cup and the Spanish Copa del Rey, which is called the "German Cup" in Germany). So he's familiar with the Albanian player's awesomeness.

In order not to let this attack end in vain, he had to move.

From the moment he received the ball, Mesut Ozil put himself on the run. When his teammate passes the ball, he catches the ball and moves forward, then makes a quick stop and turn.

Sana was fooled, and there was a pause. By the time he realized that Ozil was feintting, the opponent had continued to walk diagonally with the ball.

Chu Zhongtian also threw Alonso at this time to participate in the defense, after all, Alonso was too far away from the goal and was not a big threat. If Mesut Ozil passes the ball to Alonso, he will have time to run over and defend. Instead of defending Canales or Granero, he pounced on Mesut Ozil and tried to sandwich him with Sana like a sandwich.

Of course, Ozil also knows how powerful Chu Zhongtian is, if he is targeted by these two people at the same time, this attack will definitely be over!

It must be while they are not yet complete...... When Mesut Ozil was running diagonally to the right, Ramos and Angel Di Maria were both there, and everyone thought he would definitely play the ball on the wing. But at this moment, he slammed back with the inside of his right foot and made a diagonal pass in the opposite direction!

The football slipped through the gap behind Sana, in front of Simunic!

As soon as the camera turned, Benzema appeared behind all the Hoffenheim defenders, he cut diagonally into the box and received the ball!

"Offside!" Hoffenheim fans chanted.

But the referee and linesman ignored it!

"Karim. Benzema - Benzema!! The Spanish commentator got up.

Benzema, who received a pass from Ozil in the penalty area, did not adjust the football, and did not dribble the ball after receiving the football, but turned around and shot directly!

The ball flew past Enyema's hand and into the far corner of the goal...... Then the 30,000 fans in the stadium and the countless spectators in front of the television watched as the football flew past the far post...... Goal line!

“gol! gol! gol! gol! gol! gol! gooooooooooooooool!!! "The Spanish commentators broke out." Karim! Karim! Karim. Benzema! Benzema!! Benzema, Benzema, Benzema, Benzema, Benzema, Benzema, Benzema!! ”

"In the 86th minute, Real Madrid equalized!! 2:2! ”

Mourinho leapt from the ground, spread his arms and rushed out – the madman's show time begins.

After the goal, Benzema ran to the sidelines, waving his arms and shouting, not at all shy and introverted.

The goal is worth a lot to Real Madrid, and it's worth it to himself.

He finally became the hero who saved the team!
