Now Chelsea need to not only score, but score more than two to offset away goals and still lead the aggregate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a brief period of disappointment, the Chelsea players launched an onslaught on Hoffenheim. As before, the frequent insertion of the two flanks was a feature of their attack.

And Chu Zhongtian also immediately adjusted, in response to this, he frequently used his long pass to hit the back of the two full-backs, which made the Chelsea players feel very uncomfortable, and the two full-backs wanted to press but did not dare to press up.

But no matter how uncomfortable it is, Chelsea's countermeasure is to put more pressure on Hoffenheim and prevent them from attacking easily. If you can, it's better if they don't even play half-time.

So Chelsea's attack came at Hoffenheim's goal like a tidal wave.

Chelsea used this trick at home, scoring two goals and playing Hoffenheim in disarray.

But this time is different, after all, Hoffenheim are back at home, this is the venue they know best, just step on it to gain incredible confidence and courage, coupled with the home team fans in the stands cheering, every sound can stimulate the fighting spirit of Hoffenheim players.

Chelsea faced very serious resistance at home, not only did they not keep Hoffenheim at bay, but they also allowed Hoffenheim's counter-attacks to flourish, leaving Chelsea's goal in danger on several occasions, and if it wasn't for Cech's excellent performance, they would have been two goals behind.

That's the difference between home and away.

In the 66th minute, in such an auspicious time, Hoffenheim launched another counterattack.

Frank Lampard came up to press Chu Zhongtian when he just got the ball, and he pulled it with his hands and stumbled under his feet.

Chu Zhongtian relied on his body to suppress Frank Lampard, and he was not afraid of any opponent when it came to physical confrontation. After protecting the ball, he quickly passed it out.

After passing the ball, he ran forward as usual, ready to answer.

It was Sana next to him who received the ball. This time, Salihovic and Quaresmadura's side were relatively close, so they didn't pass it directly, and it was very risky to pass it over.

Sana received the ball and took it forward, and Chu Zhongtian followed beside him. Sana faced Essien, who came up to grab the ball, and gave the football to Chu Zhongtian.

Frank Lampard has always been by Chu Zhongtian's side, he knows that this man is the core of Hoffenheim, any successful attack cannot do without him, as long as he can freeze him, Hoffenheim's attack is not to be feared.

He watched Sana pass the football to Chu Zhongtian, so he pounced, intending to break the ball the moment Chu Zhongtian received the ball.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian didn't stop the ball at all, and directly knocked the football to the side with his heel.

The full-back Srna who was inserted in the back received Chu Zhongtian's pass, and a burst of cheers broke out in the stands. This is Hoffenheim fans cheering for Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance. They like to watch Chu Zhongtian's exquisite passing art.

Barcelona has Xavi and Andres Iniesta, two midfield masters, which are the envy of fans and managers of many teams. But Hoffenheim fans are not envious of Barcelona, as they have a Chu Zhongtian who is not at all inferior to Xavi and Iniesta.

The only one among the active players who can be called a "free man" is our Chu Zhongtian!

Passing the football to Srna with his heel, Chu Zhongtian did not stop, but continued to run forward, only this time he was closer to Srna, and deliberately slowed down, and did not run in front of Srna, but followed Srna's hand.

Soon Srna dribbled forward and met resistance. He had to pass the football back, and Chu Zhongtian just happened to receive it.

Chu Zhongtian, who received the ball, did not continue to take it forward, but suddenly directly kicked the long pass of the football to the other side of the field. Because the attacks just now were on the left side of Chelsea and the right side of Hoffenheim, there was a blank space on the right side of Chelsea and on the left side of Hoffenheim.

Chelsea full-back Branislav Ivanovic leapt high to push the ball out, but he was a bit of a misjudgement and the ball flew past his scalp.

Behind him, Salihovic received the ball and instead of breaking through right away, he slowly moved forward to attract the attention of the Chelsea defenders.

Then, when he managed to attract two Chelsea players, he suddenly passed the ball sideways. The person who received the ball was Chu Zhongtian, who had just passed it to him!

At this time, Chu Zhongtian had already moved this side from that side.

His ability to run and read the game ensures that he can move across the pitch in a matter of seconds to reach the most critical position.

Immediately after passing the ball, Salihovic cut diagonally and ran into the box. His movement caught the attention of Chelsea full-back Branislav Ivanovic and centre-back Alex, who immediately followed and Alex stepped back slightly.

Chu Zhongtian did not pass the football over, but used his left foot to buckle the football and move it laterally. Realizing that he had been deceived, Alex quickly rushed forward and returned to his defensive line.

Seeing that football is still at the feet of Chu Zhongtian, Chelsea's defenders are very conflicted. They were unwilling to let Chu Zhongtian control the ball like this, but they didn't dare to ask for a robbery, what if the empty space behind them was used by the other party? No one can guarantee that they can cut off the ball before the opponent passes the ball, which is something that is uncertain, and it takes a gamble to do such a thing.

But Chelsea can't afford to gamble at the moment, they have already conceded a goal, and if they concede a goal, the game will be completely over...... The central defenders didn't dare to come up, of course, only the back waist came to grab the ball, Chu Zhongtian made a gesture to shoot, forcing Essien who came up to grab the ball to block the shot, but this was a fake shot, the left foot fell but did nothing, Chu Zhongtian followed with his right foot to push the football away, and when Esin found out that he had been deceived, he couldn't catch up with Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian moved the football from the right side of the Chelsea penalty area to the middle, and made a few feints to shake off a number of defenders. What exactly he was going to do, no one knows yet.

However, Hoffenheim's players continued to cooperate with their captain, running and interspersing to create a variety of catches in front of Chelsea's goal. Salihovic cut diagonally down the flank and then ran back to make a response near the touchline. Quaresma, on the other hand, kept full-back Ashley firmly at bay. Cole, so that he does not dare to easily recycle the inside line.

At the same time, Ibisevic and Ruud van Nistelrooy withstood the two central defenders, turning sideways to make the appearance of catching the ball and rushing in at any time, which also caused Chelsea's central defenders to dare not press up.

Essien was shaken over, and naturally it was Mikel's turn.

Meanwhile, Frank Lampard chased after him from behind, waiting for an opportunity to break the ball.

Mikel didn't come up to break the ball, but crossed in front of Chu Zhongtian, making an interception, if he wanted to pass the ball, he could block his forward passing route, if he wanted to break through, he himself was a wall in front of him. As long as the midfielder is in his position and forces the opponent to pass the ball back or to the wing, the defense in the middle is considered successful.

Besides, there is a Lampard behind Chu Zhongtian, and the matter of breaking the ball is handed over to him, so he should not go up, lest he take the opportunity to give both of them over.

Frank Lampard rushed up from behind and hit Chu Zhongtian, trying to make him lose control of the football, but he didn't think that this time he didn't knock down Chu Zhongtian at all, nor did he lose control of the football.

It caused Mikel to suddenly grab it!

Mikel saw Lampard crashing into Chu Zhongtian and said in his heart that no matter whether he succeeds or not, this is his only chance to break the ball!

He leaned forward and reached out to poke the ball.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian's movements were faster than him, and he stabbed the football lightly with his toes, which made Mikel's foot pounce.

Then Chu Zhongtian was injured and flicked lightly, knocking Mikel, who had lost his center of gravity, to the ground, and although he didn't completely avoid Lampard's back tackle, he only tripped and stumbled, but his center of gravity didn't fall, and he jumped up past the two people who fell to the ground and caught up with the football.

"Oh!!"

The commentator saw Chu Zhongtian suddenly exert his strength past Mikel and Lampard and shouted violently, what did they have a premonition...... Also having a hunch of something was Chelsea captain John Brown. Terry, who slammed down Van Nistelrooy, who had been haunting him, strode forward.

How could Chu Zhongtian wait until he came to disturb him again?

Caught up with the football with his left foot, stepped on the side, followed by him, picked up his right foot, and volleyed at the top of the arc of the penalty area!

Petr Cech flew sideways almost as soon as Chu Zhongtian shot the goal, outstretched his arms and pounced on the football.

He did pounce on the football, he felt the tips of his fingers touch the ball, but it was fleeting, and before he could hit the ground, he heard a huge cheer from the Hoffenheim fan stands behind him.

“2:0！！”

“chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu――gooooooooooal！！！”

"Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic goal!! He teased the whole Chelsea defence, he shoots, he scores!! ”

Chu Zhongtian, who finished the goal, collided with Terry, who rushed up to block, Chu Zhongtian crossed his hands, pushed Terry away, hugged his balance, and then rushed to the home team fan stand behind the Chelsea goal.

"This is Chu Zhongtian's eighth goal in this Champions League! He has now surpassed Messi and is tied for the top scorer with Samuel Eto'o, with both men scoring eight goals! However, Eto'o's Inter Milan has stopped in the round of 16, which means that now as long as Chu Zhongtian continues to score goals, he is likely to win the top scorer in the Champions League!! He Ping was very excited when he said this - the Champions League Golden Boot award will be lifted by a Chinese player, which is unprecedented!

In fact, it is not only Chu Zhongtian who is now ranked first in the scorer list, but he is also at the top of the assist list with six assists, and behind him are Lennon who plays for Tottenham Hotspur and Carlos Benfica. Martins, both of them five times. However, the teams of these two men were eliminated and could not pose a threat to Chu Zhongtian's position at all, and the only survivor on the assist list was Mesut Ozil, who played for Real Madrid, with four assists.

The atmosphere at the Rhine-Neckar Stadium was completely ignited at the moment when Chu Zhongtian scored. When Ruud van Nistelrooy scored, the atmosphere was not so enthusiastic because the fans were still worried that a one-goal lead was not safe. But when Chu Zhongtian scored, everyone's hearts that were still a little nervous before were put down. They knew the race was not going to run.

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands began to cheer en masse: "Final four! Final Four! Let's go to the Final Four!! ”

It was Chu Zhongtian's arms that were constantly waving below that commanded them to cheer so rhythmically.

Every time he waved, it sounded: "Top four!" It wasn't until he was completely overwhelmed by the swarming teammates that those shouts turned into cheers and applause.

Hoffenheim lead Chelsea 4-2 on aggregate! It's not easy to lose on their home turf! Is there any hope for Chelsea?! ”

"Chelsea is finished! They are two goals behind on aggregate while the opposition have two away goals......"

But the England commentator didn't see it that way: "As long as Chelsea can equalise, we can drag the game into extra-time. At that point, Hoffenheim will definitely be affected by the equaliser and will not be able to play normally. Then Chelsea's hopes of winning are very high! ”

With 24 minutes of regular play remaining, another three minutes of stoppage time, and 27 minutes, almost half an hour, it is still possible to score two goals.

The problem is that he didn't take into account, or automatically blocked Hoffenheim's offensive ability. Since they have the ability to score two goals on their home turf, what's the difference between two and three?

Chelsea suddenly had the ability to score two goals in a row, but while they pressed the attack, they also exposed all kinds of holes in the back to Hoffenheim, or rather to Chu Zhongtian. You must know that Chu Zhongtian is a midfield playmaker who is very good at seizing opportunities and taking advantage of them.

So Chelsea can certainly go and score, but they can't stop Hoffenheim from scoring.

The Chelsea players know where this game has come to an end. Of course, they don't want to give up, they want to fight for it, even though the hope is extremely slim.

Ancelotti quickly called Zhirkov on the bench and asked him to warm up. At this time, in this case, you can only change to a striker and give it a go.

※※※ When Rangnick saw Chu Zhongtian shoot the football into the Chelsea goal, he was so excited that he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the assistant coach next to him, Cai Deler, held him up, so he didn't make a fool of himself. But that didn't affect his mood, and he clenched his fists and yelled at Zeidler, "We're fucking going to Wembley!" ”

This "professor", who usually looks suave and elegant, can't help but explode into foul language now. Despite having two semi-finals to go, Rangnick is already only thinking about the final.

He has been coaching Hoffenheim for so many years, and what he never dared to think of is becoming a reality step by step, can he not be excited?

Hoffenheim was just a small country team in the German amateur league, with a home stadium of 5,000 people, a training base and a cowshed.

Hope in the stands also had moist eyes, he wiped a handful of moist eyes, and then continued to hold his scarf high and sing with the people around him: "We are from the country, we have nothing!" We are strong, and we believe in freedom! We're hillbillies, but we're full of pursuit! We'll win, and our glasses will be full of beer! Offensive! Offensive!! The blood of the offense flows forever! We are—Hoffenheim! Let you taste our football!! ”

After singing, he and the fans applauded and cheered.

The 30,000-capacity Rhine-Neckar Stadium is boiling over, and England fans are known for their ability to create the atmosphere of the stadium, but their voices are now completely drowned out.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian and his teammates celebrated the goal and ran back to their own half, and he did not forget to continue to incite the fans to cheer. He waved his arms as he ran, and the fans in the stands responded to his movements and shouted.

This scene made the reporters present couldn't help but be amazed.

"Chu Zhongtian is simply the king of the Rhine-Neckar Arena!" He Ping said excitedly. "He is also the chief conductor of the largest choir in the world, and 30,000 fans listen to him alone!"

※※※When the game resumed, the cheers of the audience became smaller. After all, there are almost thirty minutes left in the game, and it's too early to celebrate the victory.

The Hoffenheim fans suppressed their ecstasy and waited for a few seconds for the game to end.

Chelsea, on the other hand, fought back frantically, and they didn't care at all how many holes there were.

Chu Zhongtian didn't go up, he was in the backfield, as long as the ball was broken and handed over to him, he would make a long pass directly on the spot, one hit at a time.

Just like the precision-guided missiles on the destroyer, they don't have to move at all, and they send the football to the opponent's empty space. Some balls can be caught by their teammates, and some can't. But it doesn't matter, the catch can basically form a very big threat. Petr Cech has already saved Hoffenheim twice for a solo shot.

But Chelsea have no intention of retreating. Withdraw at this time? That's a joke. If you work a little harder, you might be able to score goals.

Chu Zhongtian didn't go up in the backfield, and only relied on long passes to launch counterattacks because he needed more input into defense.

Hoffenheim held on to the score 2:2 after scoring in the last leg, and that was because Chu Zhongtian scored, but that time because Chu Zhongtian scored, and there were only ten minutes left for Chelsea. With almost 30 minutes left for Chelsea this time, will they be able to hold on?

Chu Zhongtian did not hesitate to collide directly with Lampard, and the two of them collapsed to the ground at the same time to tell everyone that they have the confidence to hold on!
