Chapter 246: The First Lead

readx;

Di Maria stood on the sidelines, twisting and turning, doing the final warm-up. The fourth official of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info held an electronic display card in his hand and was ready to be replaced.

But so far, there have been no dead goals in the game. He'll have to wait.

His team-mates couldn't have deliberately kicked the ball off the touchline in order to get him on the pitch, and they wouldn't do that unless it was absolutely necessary. Hoffenheim's players were even less likely to let football out of bounds and allow Real Madrid to make the substitution. They all know the threat of Di Maria, they know what Di Maria will do to them when he comes up, and they even wish that the game would be like this until the end, and there would be no dead balls...... Of course, this is not possible.

The football was passed to Alonso again and Sana arrived almost with the football. When Alonso received the football, Sana also collided from behind, a reasonable collision could not make Alonso fall to the ground, or lose control of the football, but it could prevent him from controlling the ball smoothly, he had to adjust, which caused him to control the ball for a while longer, giving Sana and Chu Zhongtian the opportunity to "kill" him.

Chu Zhongtian saw Sana bump into it, he clenched his fists - this hit is good!

There was no time to praise Sana again, and he threw Ozil beside him and rushed forward.

Ozil looked at Chu Zhongtian's back with a little surprise - he wasn't afraid that he would go up by himself, and Alonso would pass the football to himself?

Alonso was knocked off balance by Sana, and in order not to lose the ball, he struggled to control the ball, while turning his mind and keeping Sana out of his way - he thought Sana was coming to break his ball...... Finally getting the ball under control, he looked up and was about to observe his teammates at the far end, but it was not his teammates or the green field that appeared in his field of vision, but a cloud of darkness!

Chu Zhongtian had already killed Alonso in front of Alonso with lightning speed. Instead of looking at the stunned look on Alonso's face, he kept his head down and stared at the football at his feet.

Alonso was obviously confused by this sudden situation, his feet were a little messy, he was going to pull the football back, but he stretched out his foot and stabbed the football!

The football was not pulled back by him, but poked out by him!

This is Chu Zhongtian's chance!

He shook Alonso off and lunged at the ball that had been stabbed open by Alonso. It's like a hungry tiger pounces.

It was only then that Alonso could see who the black shadow was - the huge back number "8" behind him and the name "chu" in capital letters above the number.

It's Chu Zhongtian!

"It's Chu! He was very quick to get past Alonso and he broke the ball! ”

The narrator got excited.

Because Real Madrid are in a stage where they have just switched from defending to attacking after handing over the football to Alonso, their backline is empty, with only two centre-backs Albiol and Sergio Ramos behind, and two full-backs Arbeloa and Marcelo have already pressed up. Marcelo almost pressed into the winger position, while Arbeloa was slightly better, only a little in front of the halfway line.

At this time, seeing that Alonso had lost the ball, the Real Madrid players hurriedly returned to defense. Needless to say, the two full-backs of Arbeloa and Marcelo will have to defend with all their might. Ramos faced Chu Zhongtian, wanting to force him to go to the side, or slow down and simply stop. He can't care about the Hoffenheim strikers behind him, and of course whoever has the ball is the biggest threat when defending.

As for Albiol, he opted to play with one of Hoffenheim's strikers. If he also rushes up to defend Chu Zhongtian, he can be sure that Chu Zhongtian will fly the football immediately behind him, so that Ibisevic or Obasi will have a chance to face goalkeeper Casillas one-on-one. Although Casillas has a very high level of solo balls, you can't trust him so much...... Chu Zhongtian was not the Hoffenheim player at the front, and there were Ibishevic and Obasi in front of him, who didn't have time to return to the defense. However, Salihovic and Quaresma were quite positive in the defensive hands.

So now he forms an inverted triangle with Ibisevic and Obasi.

Ibisevic has known Chu Zhongtian since he was in Metz, and what should he do until this time. Obsi has also played with Chu Zhongtian in Hoffenheim for two years, and he has long understood the habits of this captain. Seeing him snatch the ball, the two of them pulled to both sides very tacitly, Ibisevic to the left and Obasi to the right.

Albiol took a look and decided to talk to Obasi. As for Ibisevic...... Abeloa is quickly returning to the defense, and Ibisevic, who has been pulled to the right, will be handed over to right-back Arbeloa...... Chu Zhongtian didn't have the intention of fighting to the death with Ramos in the midfield, he saw that the two forwards cooperated with him to open the run, so he passed the football to Ibisevic, who was temporarily unmarked.

After passing the ball, Chu Zhongtian inserted it in a straight line, which was obviously a posture of hitting the wall with two over one.

So Ramos did not go to Ibishevic, but continued to follow Chu Zhongtian.

Anyway, if Ibisevic pulls to the wing, it is impossible to shoot directly, he can't shoot directly, the threat is much less, what else is he worried about?

Ibisevic didn't pass the football to Chu Zhongtian, but to the middle - didn't Ramos feel that people were less threatening on the wing? Ibisevic took the initiative to come to the middle, is this a big threat? Do you defend or not?

Ramos saw that Ibisevic was leaning towards the middle and was about to enter the penalty area from the middle, so he hurriedly threw Chu Zhongtian and pounced on Ibisevic. What should Chu Zhongtian do? Handed over to Abelloa who returned to the defense!

"Oh oh! It was Hoffenheim's quick counter-attack! Before Real Madrid's players could get back into place, they had already hit the edge of the penalty area! ”

The commentators got excited, as did the fans in attendance, who got up from their seats, raised their arms and shouted, "Hoffenheim! Hoffenheim! ”

On the sidelines, the managers of both sides left their actions and kept their eyes on the field.

Even Di Maria, who was standing on the sidelines waiting to be replaced, couldn't bother to twist his body to warm up at this time, staring at him motionless in the penalty area.

Ibisevic didn't continue to dribble the ball and didn't shoot with his feet, he saw Ramos running towards him, so he passed the football back to Chu Zhongtian!

"Chu received the ball again!"

Chu Zhongtian received the ball sideways, conceded the football by the wayside, and completed the turn at the same time, he was facing the goal!

Ready to shoot?

That's what everybody thinks. This season, Chu Zhongtian's shooting is very strong, and the feeling of shooting is also very good. He has already scored eight goals in the league and four in the Champions League. So in front of goal, when he receives the ball, everybody is convinced that he's going to shoot.

There were also Hoffenheim fans chanting: "Shoot, Chu! Shot-"

Casillas quickly adjusted his position and rushed to Chu Zhongtian from the front of the goal to block his shot angle. Ramos turned around and ran towards Chu Zhongtian - he was like a "monkey" being teased...... At the same time, Ibisevic, who had passed the ball, decisively inserted into the penalty area and ran towards the middle of the goal.

Albiol was defending Obasi, and when he saw Ibisevic rushing up, he hesitated and rushed towards Ibisevic...... Chu Zhongtian had been looking down at the football and adjusting the football, and he didn't look up to observe the situation around him. But at the moment when Albiol moved, Chu Zhongtian also kicked the football.

But instead of shooting, it's ...... Pass!

The ball flew in front of Casillas, who was flying to block the shot, and over the heads of Ramos and Albiol. Then it fell to the feet of Obasi at the back of the goal ...... "shot...... Pass! He passes the ball...... Obasi! Obasi received the ball! ”

What Obasi had to do was simple, he lifted his foot to stop the ball.

Albiol began to turn.

Casillas, who had fallen to the ground, was getting up with his hands on his feet.

Ramos looked back at Obasi.

Maronso and Diarra, as well as Marcelo, all made their way into the box.

The soccer ball hit the inside of Obasi's right foot and fell obediently.

Albiol completed the turn.

Casillas got up from the ground and was pounced on the middle of the goal.

Ramos still turned his head to look at Obasi, he was played by Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic back and forth to do this kind of short-distance switchback run several times, and he had long since lost the strength to run back.

Alonso, Diarra and Marcelo have already rushed to the penalty spot, and they are not far from Obasi, but even if it is only one step at this time, it is the end of the world...... Obassi lowered his right foot and did not touch the ground, but directly pushed with the instep of his inner foot...... Casillas kicked out with his right foot, his body soared into the air, and he pounced.

Now all that's left is the duel between the goalkeeper and the football, everyone else has given up.

In the end, the football was slightly better and Casillas flew in but the ball flew into the goal before him.

"Boom", Rhine-Neckar exploded!

“goooooooooooooooooooal――gooooooooooooooooooooal!!!”

"In the seventy-first minute, Hoffenheim scored a goal, 2:1!!"

Obsi watched the ball fly into the goal before Casillas arrived. He was sure that the goal had been scored, and then opened his mouth and arms and rushed towards Chu Zhongtian, who was assisting him.

Chu Zhongtian has been watching here since he passed the ball, he has achieved the ultimate of a passer, this ball is basically facing an empty goal, and it is more difficult to score than to score.

As long as Obasi doesn't push too hard, a gentle push will allow the ball to roll into the goal.

Obsi didn't disappoint him. He raised his arms, ready to cheer, when he saw Obirsi facing him. The one-meter-** black man came to him, and then jumped up suddenly, and his raised hands hurriedly hugged him.

Ibisevic also rushed up.

Just behind Real Madrid's goal is the stands where Hoffenheim's hardcore fans gather. When Obasi scored the ball into the Real Madrid goal, they all jumped with their arms raised.

"Hooray! Hoffenheim! Banzai! Hoffenheim!! ”

※※※ "Ahh......h Yes! It's so exciting! In the 71st minute, Hoffenheim used a midfield steal, broke the ball and launched a fast attack directly, and finally Obasi scored the ball! Hoffenheim took the lead for the first time in this game! They are ahead of a team like Real Madrid! Leading the way is Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid! ”

"Obasi! Obasi! His first goal in the Champions League of the season! So critical! But what's more important is Chu's wonderful performance before this! He completely attracted the Real Madrid defenders, he fooled everyone, what a beautiful pass! ”

'When Alonso conceded the goal, he lacked support around him...... Perhaps Alonso and his teammates didn't expect Chu to be so fast and be able to appear by his side immediately...... This is a contest between the two midfield cores, and Chu won! ”

"Beautiful! Pretty! Ninety percent of the credit for this ball should be credited to Chu Zhongtian! If it weren't for the fact that he launched an attack in the midfield, if it weren't for the series of back-and-forth passes between him and Ibisevic that attracted the attention of the Real Madrid players, how could Obasi have such an easy chance to shoot? I remember Ruud van Nistelrooy once said something like this: as Chu Zhongtian's teammate, shooting is a very simple thing, he will always take into account your needs when passing the ball, and deliver the football comfortably in front of you, all you have to do is very simple, whether it is with your head or with your hands, just hit the football into it...... Obasi's goal is a great example of Ruud van Nistelrooy's words! ”

The Rhine-Neckar Stadium became a sea of joy, with cheers first ringing from Knelia and their stands, and then quickly spreading throughout the stadium, where the stands were full of arms waving and cheering Hoffenheim fans.

Rangnick, who was on the sidelines, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and rushed to the field for a lap before coming back. As soon as he returned, he was hugged by assistant coaches Marić and Zeidler.

"We're ahead! We're ahead of them! ”

Hoffenheim's substitutes and coaches cheered loudly. Even though the game wasn't over yet, it looked like they had won the game at this moment.

It makes sense that they are so happy, on the one hand, they are ahead of Real Madrid and put them in a good situation. On the other hand, it was because it was the first time they were ahead of Real Madrid. In the first meeting at the Bernabeu, they fell behind twice throughout the game, equalised twice, and eventually lost to the mighty Real Madrid, losing 2-3.

Now back at home, it was still Real Madrid who scored first. They then equalised and only now scored again to lead Real Madrid for the first time...... This gives them a great deal of confidence.

Let them be ecstatic.

Mourinho stopped throwing anything, he spread his hands, turned to his assistants and complained: "This is a ...... goal"

He didn't know what to say. Anyway, it's very depressing. Chu Zhongtian is simply his nemesis, he can meet him in Inter Milan and Real Madrid, and he will bring him a lot of trouble. This kid, won't I think about it just because I had a fight with him at the beginning, right? Anyway, as soon as I hit the team I led, I was extraordinarily energetic...... Casillas got up from the ground, picked up the soccer ball on the ground, and kicked it out in annoyance.

The teammates around him shook their heads helplessly.

They were all thinking about next Monday's Spanish derby against Barcelona. Now they have forgotten about the national derby and the war of the century. If they lose this game, they will be the target of ridicule from Barcelona and they will be at a psychological disadvantage before the national derby.

So this game can't be lost anyway!

Their unbeaten streak from the start of the warm-up game to the present cannot be ended in this German countryside!

Cristiano. Ronaldo yelled at his team-mates and motioned for them to get the ball over and kick off.

When Real Madrid was held to a draw, he was never in such a hurry. At that time, there was still game time, and he could take his time. But now it's 71 minutes, 19 minutes not counting stoppage time, and they have to score at least one goal. Therefore, they must hurry.

Ronaldo was also in a hurry.

The Hoffenheim players celebrated a little longer, and they signaled like the referee if it was time to intervene?

The referee went up and pulled away the Hoffenheim players who were in the revelry, saying that they should go back and not waste time here, otherwise he would not mind giving a yellow card.

None of the Hoffenheim players want a yellow card at this time.

They have returned to their positions, where the Real Madrid players have long put football in the center circle and waited.

The referee blew the whistle and the game resumed.

Hoffenheim went into the game with a 2-1 advantage and they would have to hold on for just over 20 minutes to get the win. They will be the first team to beat Jose Mourinho this season, which is quite a result! Before the national derby, everyone thought that the task of beating Real Madrid could only be pinned on Pep Guardiola's Barcelona. But now, they have the hope of beating Real Madrid sooner than Barcelona!

And if they beat Real Madrid, the suspense of the last round of the group will be lost...... ※※※ At the home of Auxerre, the AC Milan players heard the news from Sinsheim - Hoffenheim reversed 2:1 and led Real Madrid!

The news came as a bolt from the blue for them.

There was a wave of boos from AC Milan in the stands.

They couldn't see the game over there, but that didn't stop them from thinking Mourinho was deliberately letting it go. Mourinho, who has coached Inter Milan for two seasons, has been AC Milan's sworn enemy, and he has every reason to release Hoffenheim in such an important game and "send AC Milan out".

"We should complain to UEFA! Complain about this unethical behavior of Real Madrid! ”

"Originally, I had a good impression of Real Madrid, but now I think they are disgusting! I hope they lose 8-0 against Barcelona! Then that Portuguese can get out of here!! ”

"That vile, shameless, shameless Portuguese clown!" Many AC Milan fans booed and cursed in the stands.
