Chapter Thirty-Six: This Is My China Day

readx;

Vonkel was depressed, desperately defending to be scored by the opponent, and was scored again when he counterattacked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info What is he going to do now that he is two goals down?

In the background of a depressed vonkel were cheering Hoffenheim fans in the stands.

Hoffenheim scored two goals in 12 minutes to completely beat Eintracht Frankfurt out of temper. These two balls were like today's rain, extinguishing the fire of fighting spirit that had just been ignited in Frankfurt.

Even more terrifying than these two goals were the fact that the Eintracht Frankfurt players found that Hoffenheim's attack always posed a threat to their goal, which undoubtedly caused a lot of psychological pressure on the Eintracht Frankfurt players, and they had to weigh it when they wanted to attack again.

Offense and defense have always been the story of "fish and bear's paws" on the football field.

Although this goal was not directly assisted by Chu Zhongtian, it was he who broke the ball and initiated it. So Duan Bin was still very excited.

He felt that today was really the right time, Chu Zhongtian had a good performance in the game, and Hoffenheim still had hope of winning. It was a perfect match.

"We have just passed the National Day, and Chu Zhongtian has given you the best gift! Obviously, Chu Zhongtian has now completely become the leader of the team. This can be seen from this attack. ”

β€»β€»β€» Because this game is "China Day", Hoffenheim Club announced before the game that any fan holding a "China Day" poster can enjoy a 70% discount when they come to buy tickets, so the stands of Karl Benz Stadium, which can accommodate 26,000 people today, are full and full.

More than 13,000 of them are die-hard supporters of Hoffenheim's new season packages, and nearly 10,000 fans who have only started to get into Hoffenheim football this season. The Hoffenheim FC's event has greatly expanded their reach and, more importantly, allowed more people who had previously only heard their names in the media to watch a Hoffenheim match live and see first-hand what football is like in Hoffenheim – passionate, energetic and exciting.

Thanks also to Frankfurt for the performance. It's the boring football of Eintracht Frankfurt that makes Hoffenheim stand out so much that people love what they play at a glance.

Many people came to see the Hoffenheim game for the first time today, because today's tickets are cheap, and I heard that there are many lively things to see, and there are Chinese food to taste. So everyone came to watch the game as if they were on vacation. Hoffenheim played such a beautiful game - although it was not over, but the football displayed by Hoffenheim in these 60 minutes still attracted these people.

Hope sat on the podium, and next to him sat Frankfurt Chairman Bruchhagen (heribert_bruchhagen).

Hope patted Bruchhagen on the shoulder and comforted him.

Bruchhagen shook his head and smiled wryly, "You guys played well, Mr. Hope. ”

β€»β€»β€»When the game restarted, Vonkel had already figured it out - anyway, two goals behind is a loss, and one goal behind is also a loss, since they are all losses, why not press out to attack, maybe it can create a miracle?

He stood on the sidelines, shouted the names of the players, and told them by all means: Attack!

However, Eintracht Frankfurt's players were a little hesitant because Hoffenheim were attacking hard and threatening. What if we go out and they score another goal? I can't play this game...... Now that we've only conceded two goals and there are 30 minutes left in the game, maybe there's hope...... Maybe.

But Hoffenheim soon showed them that such hope was very slim.

In the 62nd minute, just three minutes after Hoffenheim had scored, they organised another attack. This time it was Salihovic who led the way, and he and Ibetsberger on the wing went to the side to cross, and after Ibisevic's header was crossed, Obbasi picked up his foot. The football was thrown out by Nikolov in a mess.

Vonkel, who was standing on the sidelines watching the game, was wet from head to toe in the rain, but at this time he could not care about that, he seemed more anxious than the players on the field.

"Press out!" He yelled. He almost rushed to the field and grabbed Steinhoff, who was closest to him, "Must attack!" ”

Steinhoff was taken aback by the manager's appearance. It was rare for him to see Vonkel so excited.

He nodded reflexively.

Pointing to the pitch, Vonkel continued: "You go up and tell them, let them attack, abandon the tactics of defending and counter-attacking, and we will attack with all our might. ”

"But, but, ......" Steinhoff, who finally reacted, was a little surprised and puzzled, "but the opponent's attack is very strong, and I am worried that our defense line will be penetrated ......."

'So we have to step up our attack and try to score goals before our defence is breached by them. Go ahead and tell them! ”

Out of the corner of his eye, Vonkel caught a glimpse of the fourth official looking towards him, and quickly patted Steinhoff on the shoulder and pushed him onto the court.

He then walked back to his dugout and asked his assistant coach, Roiter Shane (armin_reutershahn), for a list of substitutes.

He decided to carry out his will with a substitution. After all, Steinhoff only transferred from Bayern Munich's second-tier team this season, and he is still very young, so he has little weight in the team.

Soon Eintracht Frankfurt replaced Toski with veteran Greek Libelopoulos, who was a full-back. Liberopoulos, on the other hand, can play both attacking midfielders and strikers, which is a change to enhance the attack. Liberopoulos followed the manager's instructions and communicated the latest tactics to his team-mates.

"We have to attack." He said to his teammates, who were still hesitant.

"But the defense ......," one expressed concern.

"Don't worry about it so much, try to score first, or we'll really lose!"

Eintracht Frankfurt's players also feel that there is no better way to do this than to attack at the moment, and they don't like to always shrink back and defend.

So after the restart, Eintracht Frankfurt resumed their attack. Hoffenheim, on the other hand, were uncomfortable with Eintracht Frankfurt's sudden dominance and were conceded four minutes later.

Spiescher provided an assist into Hoffenheim's 30-metre zone, his first assist of the game. As a left wing-back, he has been holding his defensive zone firmly and has not dared to make rash moves. Hoffenheim were unprepared for his sudden forward.

Let him pass calmly.

The ball flew in front of the goal, and Steinhoff jumped high and beat Ibertsberger with a header!

Ozjan couldn't reach the whip and the ball flew straight into the goal. It was Steinhoff's first goal for Eintracht Frankfurt and his first Bundesliga goal.

The most important thing is that this goal rekindled hope for Eintracht Frankfurt!

After Steinhofer's goal, the Eintracht Frankfurt fans in the stands finally gave their cheers. They have been silent for so long that they are almost thought to have no fans in Frankfurt for this game.

β€»β€»β€» Regarding this conceded goal, Duan Bin looked at it this way: "Hoffenheim is still too young, they completely forgot the existence of the opponent when they had the upper hand, and this time it was a hole in the defense. First of all, there was no one to defend against Spiecher, and secondly, the defense of Steinhoff was not strict enough, allowing him to jump calmly and beat Ibertsberger...... These problems epitomize their lack of experience. Hoffenheim now have a strong heart and Rangnick has to deal with the general lack of experience in his players...... I remember Rangnick saying he didn't need players over the age of 25, much like Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. But Arsenal haven't won a title for several years. If Hoffenheim were as ambitious as they said they were, Rangnick would have to make a change. On the road to glory, the experience of a veteran is essential. ”

Yang Chen also agrees with this: "That's right. Young people can bring momentum, but in a competition like the top flight, momentum alone will not work and will only lead to them falling short before the finish. Properly supplemented with some experienced veterans is a must. ”

"This season, Hoffenheim should have no problem with relegation. It depends on how much Rangnick and Hoppe intend to invest in the transfer market next season......"

After the goal, the Eintracht Frankfurt players were so excited that they ran to the bottom of their fan stands with the goal-scorer Steinhoff to celebrate the goal.

On the other hand, Hoffenheim's players were a little helpless and surprised. It was a surprise goal, as they did not expect Eintracht Frankfurt, who had only one threatening chance in the game, to score on the second chance.

Chu Zhongtian knew that this was a leak in the defense, but he couldn't say anything yet. It's taboo to blame each other for a teammate after conceding a goal. He was able to clap his hands at everyone and signal them not to take the goal to heart: "We're still one goal ahead, don't act like we're behind, brothers." ”

It's China Day, and he doesn't want Frankfurt to mess with it.

Eintracht Frankfurt saw hope of an equaliser or even a reversal, and they stood on the pitch looking eager to try and continue to attack when the game resumed.

Vonkel thought the same thing. He's happy to see that his adjustments are paying off. Just keep going and you can equalize.

Thinking of this, he continued to stand on the sidelines, letting the rain from the sky wet his hair and clothes, and the rain trickled down his cheeks. He didn't care at all, he was looking forward to the game.

"We've got to give them something awesome and see!" Chu Zhongtian ran up to Ibshevic before kick-off and said. "After a while, you run forward, try to run into the opponent's penalty area, and I'll pass the ball to you. Let's not be so complicated, let's make it simple! ”

Ibisevic believes in Chu Zhongtian's passing accuracy, which is the experience of his two-and-a-half-season with Chu Zhongtian. He nodded in agreement.

When the referee saw that the players from both sides were in place, he blew the whistle for the game to restart.

Demba. After receiving a pass from Ibisevic, Ba turned around and passed the football to Chu Zhongtian.

Ibshevic kept Chu Zhongtian's words in mind, glanced back and accelerated forward.

After Chu Zhongtian received the pass, like a football quarterback, he did not rush to pass the ball, but brought the ball backwards, while observing the situation on the court, while attracting the Frankfurt players to run forward. As soon as the kick-off was played, Eintracht Frankfurt's formation was still tight and did not spread out, like a man with his fist in front of his chest, ready to punch. Now he has to get the other man to punch out, and only then will there be a flaw.

Chu Zhongtian didn't pass the ball back, he just pulled the football backwards. Because he has to draw the other person to his side.

Eintracht Frankfurt had just scored a goal, and now their morale was rising, and when they saw Chu Zhongtian holding the football for a long time, they thought that there was an opportunity. Fei Ning and Liberopoulos were the vanguard, rushing towards Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian noticed their movements, but he still didn't pass the ball, he was still observing, still waiting, waiting for the Frankfurt fighter to swing both of his fists out, so that he would definitely open the door!

Ibisevic was still running forward, and he didn't look back except for the first time. He believed that Chu Zhongtian would naturally have football coming from behind him as long as he ran to the right position.

Fei Ning and Chu Zhongtian were already within easy reach, and he could see Chu Zhongtian looking up to observe the situation behind him, and there seemed to be a lack of care for the football under his feet... This is the chance to break the ball!

Fenning stretched out his foot to poke.

But just as he stretched out his foot, Chu Zhongtian also moved, his right foot hooked the football on the outside, and the ball hit the left foot as a supporting foot to change the line and roll forward.

Chu Zhongtian's left foot was used as a support foot, and he stepped forward, and his right foot was just raised to avoid Fei Ning's steal.

At the same time he started to run forward, getting between Fening and Liberopoulos.

Chu Zhongtian, who had passed two people at a time, did not pass the ball again, but directly made a long pass!

He had seen that, just as Ferning was reaching out to steal himself, he saw two Frankfurt full-backs rushing up at the same time, they had clearly tasted the sweetness of the previous goal and wanted to continue to use the full-backs to assist and create chances.

Both fists were finally swung out.

And there is a vacancy on the central axis of Frankfurt, and the middle door is wide open!

His eyes went beyond the Eintracht Frankfurt players and his team-mates and kept up with Ibisevic. The player, who he had worked with at Metz, did not run in a straight line, and when he crossed the opponent's midfield, he suddenly made a bend and ran to the ribs.

Chu Zhongtian's gaze went further, and a scene appeared in his mind - eight meters in front of the ribs, there was a vacancy, and where would Ibisevic run, of course, he would also be behind the entire Frankfurt backline, and the nearest Frankfurt central defender BlackRock raised his hand to signal that Ibisevic was offside.

That was the end of the scene.

Chu Zhongtian returned to reality. He knew that the information that this instinct was telling him was all in a single thought. If he waited until that scene actually happened before passing, Ibisevic was offside when he received the ball. So he had to pass the ball before that, calculate the amount of time it would take for Ibisevic to run to that point, and how much force he had to pass to ensure that the ball would fall to Ibisevic's feet at that time.

Again, these are only momentary things.

It was all done when Chu Zhongtian passed Fening and Liberopoulos. So after those two people, he passed it on with his feet!

The ball leaped high and didn't fly to the middle, but deflected slightly, heading towards the space that would appear in the next second.

Chu Zhongtian, who finished passing the ball, did not continue to run forward, no matter whether this attack could be achieved or not, it was meaningless for him to run up, and his other teammates followed up.

In front of Ibisevic's eyes, he saw a gap in the ribs of the Eintracht Frankfurt defence due to the assist of the full-backs, and he could be left unguarded as long as he ran past.

But by then he was also offside.

It depends on whether Chu Zhongtian, who is behind him, can also realize that there is a vacancy here, and pass the ball over in advance.

He didn't look back, but continued to rush forward, running towards the empty space that he had just appeared.

When he met BlackRock next to him and ran behind the opponent, there were no other Frankfurt players within five meters of him, except for one BlackRock.

It was at this time that he turned back for the second time in the whole process.

A soccer ball suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and it was very close to him!

He lifted his foot sideways, gently cushioned the ball flying from behind him with the outside instep, and at the same time lowered the foot that touched the ball, guiding the ball that had lost momentum to fall.

As he stopped the ball on the ground, BlackRock, behind him, raised his arm to signal him for offside.

Ibisevic ignored him, he didn't even look in the direction of the linesman, but took the ball forward and headed it towards goalkeeper Nikolov.

"Ibisevic received the ball! A long biography from Chu Zhongtian! The Eintracht Frankfurt player signalled for offside...... But the referee didn't say anything! ”

Nikolov chose to attack as soon as Ibisevic received the ball, and then he saw Ibisevic rushing with the ball as well, and he thought that this kid was going to pass him, which gave him a chance to save the ball.

Who would have thought that just after running two steps, he was caught off guard when he saw Ibisevic suddenly shoot with his feet!

The ball clung to the turf and rolled towards him. He didn't have time to make any moves, so he could only sink his weight and hope that he could block the shot with his legs together.

However, the speed at which he lowered his center of gravity was still not as fast as the speed at which the ball could move forward close to the ground. Before the "floodgates" could close, the ball slipped between his legs!

He suddenly felt a chill in his crotch...... Hoffenheim's cheers followed, mixed with laughter.

He was pierced, and the small doors of the gate were passed together.

Nikolov, who was kneeling on the ground, did not fall down and jumped up from the ground with his arms raised to signal to the referee that his opponent was offside. But he didn't see the linesman raise the flag...... BlackRock also pulled referee Fleischer to complain to him that Ibyshevic was definitely offside before the goal.

The referee replied with a shake of his head.

"No offside! No offside! Ibisevic is not offside! Good ball, pretty! Duan Bin became excited again. Hoffenheim had just been scored and took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to open the score gap again! Chu Zhongtian's long pass is very accurate, and the timing is also very good! Let's take a look at slow motion...... It is indeed not offside, before Ibisevic crossed the last defender of Frankfurt, Chu Zhongtian had already passed the ball! The referee looked at it accurately, and there was no problem with the ball! ”

Ibisevic didn't confirm it after the goal, and after the football came in, he ran to the stands with open arms and hugged the cheers of the fans.

Chu Zhongtian, together with the rest of his teammates, ran towards Ibisevic, who scored the goal. Along the way, he waved his fist into the stands.

This is my China Day!
