"Finals! Final! Final!! Rhine-Neckar's thunderous cries repeated only one word. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Under such cheers, Van Gaal's face was very unpleasant.

Stability doesn't work now, you have to go out and get goals.

But if you press it out...... I can't care about that much now!

Van Gaal called Schweinsteiger over and told him the opportunity: "Attack!" ”

Schweinsteiger nodded: "Attack!" ”

The game was soon restarted, but Bayern Munich were almost impossible to equalise in the first half, time was running out, Hoffenheim took the lead and immediately tightened their defence, and as long as they held on for those five minutes, they could return to the dressing room with a better result.

Bayern Munich attacked for a few minutes but were unable to open the door for Hoffenheim. The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

"The first half is over! Hoffenheim's 1-0 lead over Bayern Munich is not too surprising, and Hoffenheim have the ability to do so on their home turf. ”

'What kind of changes will the managers make at half-time? Let's wait and see! ”

Van Gaal didn't know how to evaluate his team's performance in the first half. Half of the time the team performed very well, especially Timoshchuk, who almost completely froze Chu Zhongtian in those ten minutes. But Chu Zhongtian still found a solution.

It was after that goal was conceded.

But to say that the team did a good job, but the offensive effect was not significant, and the opponent scored goals.

No matter what the process is, as long as you lose the ball, it means that the process is wrong.

The key to solving the problem is still on offense, not defense.

He set his sights on Robben.

As soon as he returned to the dressing room, the team doctor gave Robben a cold compress on his injured ankle. Looking at the ice pack strapped to his ankle, Van Gaal's brow furrowed.

In the first half, Robben played very little, except for a few performances in the opening period, he was basically nowhere to be found at other times. In the attack, he was heavily defended by Chu Zhongtian and had almost no chance. Although he was closed, the injury affected his physical function after all, his speed was not as fast as before, and his movements were not flexible enough. All of this greatly affected his performance.

Do you want to keep him on the court?

Van Gaal hesitated. Arjen Robben is the kind of player who always surprises and gives you hope whenever you get him on the pitch. At critical moments, one flash of his life could save the whole team. But the problem is, you can't guarantee that he's going to shine in crunch time every game...... Besides, this is still an unhealthy Robben.

Who knows what will happen?

If you replace him...... It's always a pity that Bayern Munich has lost a wing knife. Although the knife is a little blunt, it can still slit the throat of the enemy.

He decided to ask the team doctor before he had an idea, and if the team doctor told him bad news, he would replace him.

The team doctor was examining Robben and Van Gaal was standing nearby.

Robben knew what the manager was going to do, and he said: "I'm fine, no problem at all. ”

Van Gaal ignored him and just waited for the team doctor to finish his examination.

The team doctor stood up and walked out with Van Gaal.

Robben kept looking at the backs of the two men until they disappeared behind the door.

Ribery leaned in, and he patted Robben on the shoulder: "How does it feel?" ”

Robben looked up at him, "I think it's okay." ”

In fact, as long as his ankle does not move, it is indeed no problem, but as long as he moves, as soon as he exerts force, it hurts, and it hurts. Robben knew that the game was over, and that it might be time for him to have surgery on his ankle again. If you try so hard, you won't be able to make it to the final – if Bayern Munich make it. So what is he doing it for?

Even if the team made it to the final, he wouldn't be able to play...... No, that's not a problem. Because we're a team and I'm part of this team, so I want this team to be at the top of Europe and win the honours that we didn't get last season.

Ribery saw what Robben meant, and he said to Robben: "In the second half you run less, I'll be the main attack, you can find time to shoot." ”

As the two men were talking, Van Gaal pushed the door open, followed by the team doctor.

Van Gaal walked straight up to Robben, and just as he was about to speak, Robben preemptively said: "I must play, sir!" Nothing could be more important than that! ”

Louis van Gaal did want to tell Robben that he would not be able to play in the second half because the team doctor thought that if he continued to play, it would have a big impact on Robben's ankle injury and that he might need to undergo an operation, and this would be his first surgery? Who knows...... "but your hurt ......"

'I know very well, but I'm still going to play.' Robben didn't give an inch.

"You're a professional, Alger, you're not just playing this game. You haven't rested since the start of last season, you need to rest, your body can't take it......" said the team doctor.

"And," Van Gaal picked up. "It's the semi-finals, and there's a good chance you won't be able to make it to the final after you play this game, is there any need for you to do that?"

The conversation of several people caught the attention of all the Bayern players in the dressing room, and they all stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes over.

"Yes, I'm part of the team." Robben gave the answer he had come up with.

The answer was simple, but it left Van Gaal speechless.

He stared at Robben for a while, and found that there was no confusion and melancholy in the other party's eyes at all, so he turned back and nodded at the team doctor: "Let him play for fifteen more minutes in the second half." ”

The team doctor shrugged and shook his head: "I don't approve of it, but if he himself insists, I can't help it." ”

Van Gaal nodded back at Robben: "Okay, you can stay on the pitch, but if I think it's necessary, I'll replace you." ”

Robben nodded: "No problem." ”

Van Gaal then turned to the onlookers and said: 'Everybody saw it, right? Alger sacrificed himself for the sake of the team. So what reason is there not to win this game! ”

The seasoned Louis van Gaal used the situation to motivate his players and boost their morale while allowing them to fight to the death in the second half.

Looking into the eyes of his players now, Van Gaal knows his words have worked.

In the Hoffenheim dressing room, Rangnick is strategizing his team for the second half. Taking a lead by one goal is not something to be happy about, but rather to be worried. Because it means that the opponent's comeback in the second half will be more fierce and the team will have to go through it, otherwise it will be all for nothing.

'We're on the same score with them now and it's only on away goals that we have the advantage. But as soon as they were able to score a goal in the second half, the tide turned. Then they were leading on aggregate and we were behind. So they have to be prevented from scoring or another goal before they can score. ”

Rangnick looked at Chu Zhongtian again and said.

'I think the referee at half-time will reflect on his own first-half penalty because it's our home stadium and he can't ignore that. Therefore, in the second half, Tymoshchuk should have restrained somewhat. Take advantage of our speed and attack the Bayern Munich defence! ”

Hoffenheim's magic weapon is fast. It's simple, but there aren't many teams that can break them. The world's martial arts are invincible, only fast and unbreakable.

※※※ Guardiola took advantage of the half-time break to chat with his assistants. He didn't come to Sinsheim alone, he brought his assistant coach with him to watch the game.

The two men exchanged views at halftime.

"I think in the second half, Bayern Munich will come back and it will be very strong. Hoffenheim may not be able to withstand it. They lack experience, especially to play in such situations. Maybe they'll take it for granted that they've already won, and if that's the case, Bayern Munich will win. Assistant coach Vilanova analyzed.

His analysis made a lot of sense, and Guardiola nodded his head again and again.

"Now it's up to Hoffenheim to respond." Villanova continued. "Chu is really the core of this team and arguably the only one in this team who can solve problems. Bayern Munich will have a hard time containing him......" Bilanova frowned as he spoke. He wondered how he would contain this almost inexplicable player if he were to switch to his own team...... Pep Guardiola knew what he was facing, and then said: "You can't stop him alone." When the time comes, we will have to come up with a whole set of perfect tactics against him alone. ”

In fact, Chu Zhongtian's name was heard by Guardiola a few years ago. There was something good about the media at the time that associated the man with his team. But that's all, he just knows the name, and doesn't understand what is behind it. In Barcelona, the midfield is extremely strong, with Xavi and Iniesta in the organization, Messi in terms of goals, and Buzques in defense, there is really no place for a so-called all-round midfielder. It's funny to say, this game is the first time he has seen Chu Zhongtian play with his own eyes...... He does not deny that Chu Zhongtian is powerful, but after all, football is not played by one person, and no matter how powerful a person is, it cannot play a decisive role. Especially in a game like the Champions League final, you have to be strong as a team.

In Guardiola's opinion, Hoffenheim's overall strength is more than a notch worse than Barcelona's.

The key to defending Chu Zhongtian may not be on Chu Zhongtian...... It's just a vague idea now, and I believe it will take shape when I go back.

The two were chatting, the players from both sides came out, and the second half of the game was about to begin.

There was a huge cheer at the Rhine-Neckar Stadium to welcome the players. There were forty-five minutes left, and everyone was a little impatient. Who can go to Wembley? Did Bayern Munich reach the final for the second time in a row and defend the glory of German football? Or will the dark horse Hoffenheim create a "rural miracle" and become a new force in German football in European football?

"To be honest, I personally want Hoffenheim to qualify. I'm a little tired of seeing only Bayern Munich's face every time, haha! The neutral commentator jokingly teased Bayern Munich.

But he spoke to some of the minds that would love to see Hoffenheim in the final and see what more bright spots the team has to offer this season. Maybe it will be a little different from Bayern Munich...... ※※※ Originally, during the intermission, many TV stations analyzed that Robben might be out of the game, because he was injured, and his performance in the first half was lackluster, obviously contained by Chu Zhongtian. But at the start of the second half, everyone was surprised to find that Robben remained on the pitch and neither side made any substitutions.

"Robben continues to stay on the field? It seems that Van Gaal still has high hopes for this Dutch fellow......"

'I'm skeptical that Robben will do much of a good job in staying on the pitch...... He didn't show anything for 45 minutes of the first half......"

No matter how much everyone questioned and surprised, Robben stood on the court like that.

To be honest, Chu Zhongtian was also a little surprised when he saw that Robben was still on the court. He thought that after a sluggish first half, even if Robben did not agree, manager Louis van Gaal would replace him. Who would have thought that Van Gaal would agree to him stay on the pitch...... It seems that this game is really hard for both Robben and Van Gaal.

*※※ Although Arjen Robben remained on the pitch, he was no different from the first half, he was not the heart of the team's attack. Bayern Munich's main attack is still on Ribery's side.

Franck Ribery was more lively than in the first half, sprinting down the flanks and moving into the middle to link up with his team-mates, threatening with the ball or crossing, and of course not forgetting his shots.

Sana and Srna will have to do everything in their power to stop this nimble Frenchman.

Bayern Munich is playing well on this side, and at the same time, Hoffenheim has focused on this side, and Robben has a Chu Zhongtian on his side, and basically no one pays attention.

More often than not, Robben just appeared in the box to grab points with Hoffenheim's defenders, which is obviously not what he is good at, and his body simply can't squeeze those strong defenders.

Such an arrangement is simply incomprehensible, and the live TV broadcast frequently focuses on Van Gaal, and no one can see why Van Gaal did this.

※※※Robben now gritted his teeth and frowned every time he ran, his ankle was very painful, and he couldn't do the movement there.

He is no longer active in running, and even after his teammates pass the ball, the fans do not see him speeding up with the ball, but rather passing the ball quickly, and then jumping up like a frightened rabbit to avoid the defensive moves of Chu Zhongtian or other Hoffenheim players who look like they will kill him.

In the words of China's Internet hot words, the current Robben is a "soy sauce" on the field.

Even so, he still has to stay on the pitch because he is waiting for his opportunity, waiting for his chance. Ribery helped him draw the attention of the defence. The only problem was that Chu Zhongtian, who was always staring at himself and did not let his guard down.

In fact, Robben, who is healthy, has the confidence to break through Chu Zhongtian's defense, so he relies on his speed and agile reaction after the emergency stop and change direction, which is very simple to use.

He's building up his strength, he's waiting for an opportunity, he's letting his ankles rest first, and when the opportunity comes, he'll burst out.

Robben is well aware of his body, such an opportunity can only be once, and if he misses it, he can't wait any longer. His foot will not be able to hold on to the game and will be replaced.

One chance is enough, as long as we can score, the game will go in our favor...... ※※※ In the fifty-eighth minute, there are two minutes shy of Van Gaal's time of fifteen minutes. Bayern Munich attacked again, with Ribery still the main point of attack. The football passed to his feet.

Ribery didn't break down and didn't cross, but suddenly cut inside and dribbled laterally!

He dribbled the ball on the edge of the Hoffenheim penalty area, which was not fast, but it made the Hoffenheim players very nervous. Because everyone knows that the Frenchman has a good scoring ability.

Ribery knew exactly what was the key to restricting Robben's play - his good friend Chu Zhongtian had almost locked Robben's target. If it didn't attract his attention, Robben wouldn't have a chance.

That's why he suddenly cut inside and dribbled horizontally, and it can be said that he took the initiative to find Chu Zhongtian.

Srna came up to tackle, was crossed by him with delicate foot skills, and then faced with Sana's block, he passed the football to Schweinsteiger in the back, and continued to pull horizontally, Schweinsteiger passed the football to him again, and passed Sana in two-by-one.

"Frank. Ribery-" The narrator raised his voice, as if Ribery was about to shoot at any moment.

Ribery can actually shoot at any time now, whenever he wants to...... But he didn't plan to do so. The Hoffenheim players are moving towards him, he is looking out of the corner of his eye, and the person he cares about the most is also moving towards him.

Here's your chance!

This phrase came to the minds of both Ribery and Robben at the same time.

Robben saw that Hoffenheim's back line shrank to the middle, and there was a large area of space on the side, and at the same time, when Chu Zhongtian also pounced on Ribery, he suddenly slipped forward and inserted it into the penalty area!

Ribery also followed suit and pushed the ball diagonally forward, the ball coming from the left and Robben from the right, and the two intersected behind the Hoffenheim backline!

"Nice direct pass! Robben! Robben!! ”

The narrator yelled excitedly.

"Robben!!"

The Bayern Munich fans in the stands also got up from their seats and raised their arms and chanted!!

Robben received the ball behind all the Hoffenheim players and then faced goalkeeper Nyema alone...... Dutchman's ankle hurt the whole time as he lunged in, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. He knew this was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

If you don't fight at this time, when will you have to wait?!

Enyema, who attacked, saw the hideous expression on Robben's face, he was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, Robben shot with his feet!

The ball flew from Enyema's side to the far post of the goal, then mounted on the post and bounced into the goal...... "The ball is in!!" ”

"Alger. Robben! He did it! Yes! He did it! He helped the team equalize and Bayern Munich led 4-3 on aggregate!! ”

Robben, who had completed the shot, did not run wildly to celebrate, but lay directly on the ground, his ankle already hurting terribly.

Instead of cheering and celebrating, Van Gaal said directly to the assistant coach: "Go and call Olic back!" Fast! ”

Robben has completed his mission, and the next thing is up to them. Robben's spelled goal must not be wasted!
