Since it's all like chasing the game, you have to work the offense. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Hoffenheim and Real Madrid were both attacking and had chances, but neither took them.

Karim Benzema is working hard to get a goal for himself and he knows what this game means to him. A series of excellent performances from the bench have already shown him that his form is picking up. What is missing now is to play well when you start. He didn't want others to think that he could only play as a substitute, a super substitute or something, so he didn't want to do it.

Hoffenheim, Ibisevic and Obasi, are also working hard.

Both teams had strong midfield and were able to feed their team-mates, but both goalkeepers played well today and were unlucky on the final shot.

In the 64th minute of the game, when the game was still tied 1-1, the news came from another stadium that disappointed the Hoffenheim fans - Auxerre held for nearly 70 minutes and finally did not resist. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has been in great form lately, scored again.

His goal gave AC Milan a 1-0 lead over AJ Auxerre.

There was a burst of boos at the Rhine-Neckar stadium. The players on the pitch don't know what's going on yet. Everyone on the bench on the sidelines has turned their attention to the other game for the time being.

'AC Milan is ahead.' Assistant coach Zeidler said to Rangnick.

Rangnick nodded: "Sure enough, it's still up to you...... It was not easy for Auxerre to hold on until this point before conceding a goal. ”

With that, he paused. "Alright, leave the others alone and concentrate on our own game."

The Hoffenheim players on the bench also got an update on the developments of AJ Auxerre and AC Milan. AC Milan means that a draw now is dangerous for Hoffenheim. They were just three points ahead of AC Milan before the final round of the group stage.

At the thought of going to AC Milan away in the last round of the group stage, they all fell silent.

Next door, in Real Madrid's coach's bench and on the bench, everyone knows the result. They, unlike Hoffenheim, don't care. It doesn't matter if Auxerre win or AC Milan win, the result is the same for them, they have already qualified early anyway. All they have to think about is trying to top the group and can avoid the big teams in the quarter-final draw. While everyone hopes Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid can win the Champions League this season, the most realistic goal may be to break the quarter-final curse that has not been broken for six years...... So even if the game over there is a Mars hitting the Earth, it will still be the same here, Real Madrid will try to win and throw the team that may threaten their group top status far away.

Who can threaten their group first? At the moment, it seems that there is only Hoffenheim.

Therefore, Real Madrid must knock Hoffenheim out of this game anyway, so that they cannot threaten their status as the top of the group.

The latest scores of AC Milan and AJ Accerre were quickly passed on the pitch, which became a watershed moment in the half. Both sides suddenly stepped up their attacks, because they knew that it was time for a decisive battle.

Sana fouled Mesut Ozil and gave Real Madrid a free-kick from 30 yards from goal. For Cristiano. Ronaldo said it was just the right distance, he was standing in front of the football. Chu Zhongtian was called to line up the human wall, and he motioned to everyone to stand tight and not let Ronaldo have a chance to shoot the football through the human wall. Not only do you have to stand tightly, but you also have to try to stand on your toes and make the wall higher, which makes it much more difficult for the free kick to go around the wall.

In the end, Ronaldo's free kick failed to bypass the human wall, and the football was kicked out by him, which hit Chu Zhongtian's chest and bounced back.

Quaresma, who was outside, received the ball, and he turned to move forward, and the human wall, which was basically made up of attacking players, also seemed to get the signal, and suddenly dispersed and ran forward.

Although Chu Zhongtian was hit in the chest, he had no impact on this team, he saw the opportunity for the team to counterattack, and he also rushed forward.

C. Ronaldo saw that the football hit Chu Zhongtian's chest, and when the football popped up, he didn't rush up to grab it, he just raised his hands and stood in place complaining that the human wall was too close. But when Chu Zhongtian passed by him, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly changed his plan, turned around and chased back suddenly.

Hoffenheim's fast break was still not achieved, and Quaresma's intention was too obvious when he passed the ball to Obasi in the middle of the high-speed run, and Real Madrid defender Marcelo predicted it in advance and intercepted the ball in the middle of the game.

Real Madrid followed closely with a fast attack.

Chu Zhongtian quickly turned back to defense. Just chased back Cristiano. Ronaldo also rushed forward quickly. The physical strength of the two of them seemed to be inexhaustible, and they could still sprint with all their strength after such a short period of time to turn back and run.

Ronaldo pulled from the middle to the left and ran in front of Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian also followed him to the side. Although he is not responsible for keeping an eye on Ronaldo, since he has met him, there is no reason to let it go.

Marcelo passed the ball to Ronaldo, and as soon as the Portuguese received the ball, Chu Zhongtian appeared in front of him.

It wasn't the first time the two men had gone head-to-head in the game, but it was the first time they'd come face to face – the previous one was Cristiano. Ronaldo ran in front, and Chu Zhongtian chased behind, of course it was not face-to-face.

C. Ronaldo dangled, his feet in a fancy feint behind the football like a butterfly. However, Chu Zhongtian was unmoved, just stared at the football, lowered his center of gravity, maintained his posture, and got stuck in Ronaldo's inner line, making him unable to break through in a straight line.

C. Ronaldo played a feint of pedaling a bicycle and found that Chu Zhongtian was not fooled at all. At the same time, Marcelo walked around behind him. So he decided to pass the ball. He stood in place and flicked the ball with his left foot in what looked like he was about to break down from the right, with Marcelo's run only covering him. Usually people will pounce on the right side at this time and leave the space for him to pass.

Immediately after, C. Ronaldo's right forefoot landed on the ground, supporting the body, and the heel was lifted and swung to the left! He used this fancy move to pass the football to Marcelo!

But almost at the same time, Chu Zhongtian, who had been standing still, like a wooden stake, slammed down and shoveled! His left foot supported his body, and his right foot stretched out, just blocking Ronaldo's pass Luo Xian, C. Ronaldo hit Chu Zhongtian's right foot with a football knocked over with his heel, popping up the bottom line. Throw-in!

In the eyes of outsiders, this let go is unremarkable, and it has not even regained possession, and football is still in the hands of Real Madrid. But in the heart of C. Ronaldo, there was some surprise. He felt that his feints were realistic enough, not only did he move under his feet, but the center of gravity of his upper body also changed, but looking at Chu Zhongtian's defensive movements, it was as if he knew in advance that he would do this, and he actually stretched out his feet to block in advance...... Chu Zhongtian got up from the ground and did not retreat, but continued to stare at Ronaldo.

Marcelo tossed the ball to Ronaldo and the Portuguese felt the pressure from behind him, and instead of possessing the ball, he raised his foot to knock the ball back into the air to Marcelo, and then turned and ran down the middle.

Chu Zhongtian did not follow, but continued to get stuck on Marcelo's side, and Srna was guarding on the other side.

Marcelo had to face two men in the middle of the pack if he wanted to break through, and instead of breaking through, he passed the ball back. A direct kick from the touchline went to the feet of centre-back Albiol in the second half.

Real Madrid's quick attack did not get off the ground, and Chu Zhongtian was a key figure in the defense.

Today's Chu Zhongtian is like this, he puts more energy into attack, plus offense is always the most eye-catching, so it seems that he is not good at defense. In fact, he was only responsible for less defensive work, and all the heavy defensive work was handed over to Sana. He also defends, but he always appears at the most critical times, and the initial most critical defense, although not every time it is an eye-catching action like a goal-line save, but in the eyes of experts who know the ball, every time he defends is very crucial.

A true free fever is not only about attacking well, but also about defense. It's just that he's not the new libero at centre-back, so he doesn't have to focus too much on defense. But the free man's mind must be clear, can not follow the ball blindly, when the opponent attacks, he must choose the most correct, simplest and most effective defensive method, not necessarily to snatch the football, maybe just force the opponent to pass the football back, or kick out of the sideline, you can play the purpose of defense.

For example, this defense.

Ronaldo has already realized that Chu Zhongtian is a troublesome figure.

※※※ Successfully defending Real Madrid's offense, it does not make Chu Zhongtian happy and proud, now he needs to think about the offense, how to score a goal as soon as possible is the top priority.

Rangnick told his team at half-time to make more use of the wings, especially on Marcelo's side. After his observation during this time, Real Madrid's wing does have a chance. However, they defend very tightly in the middle and are quite quick to return once they have lost the ball. Even if they were able to use the wings, they were still cleared by their defenders in the middle. And even if you take advantage of the gap after Marcelo went up to attack...... There are also centre-backs to fill in the position, once the ball is lost, Real Madrid's replay speed is very fast, not to mention, even the full-backs have to retreat to participate in the defense.

If it had been Real Madrid last year, it would have been easy to play...... This year's Real Madrid is very difficult to deal with.

But it's not completely out of the question, both sides are attacking, and there will always be some gaps left in the backline.

Chu Zhongtian felt that the best time was when the opponent had just attacked and was about to invest more troops, or just put in more troops, when the football was suddenly cut off, and then Hoffenheim played a fast attack. At this time, Real Madrid's players will have a short period of inattention and confusion, of course, this situation has lasted much longer in the past, and now they have tried to compress the reaction vacuum after this sudden switch between attack and defense.

But there are always a little flaws, it depends on whether you can catch it.

The first step in this plan is to break the ball, and this time the defensive requirements cannot be just to force the opponent to pass back or break the ball out of bounds. You have to cut off the ball and grab it to your feet to attack. And also be quick, not to give the opponent time to react.

So who should be kicked off and who should be used as a breakthrough?

After Chu Zhongtian swept around, he locked on Harvey. Alonso.

While Cristiano. Ronaldo is the team's number one star, ace, but Xavi. Alonso is the brain of this team. He is responsible for controlling the tempo, so he has a lot of time on the ball, in the front court, whether it is Ronaldo or Higuain, Ozil, Leon and others, once they get the ball, they handle the ball very quickly, even if it is dribbling the ball, it is a fast forward dribble. But Alonso is different, when he gets the ball, he has to watch the position of his team-mates and the position of the enemy, so he will first control the ball, then look up and then get up and pass.

The football stayed at his feet for a long time, which gave Chu Zhongtian and the others the opportunity to break the ball.

And sometimes he is too focused on the situation at a distance, but he ignores the dangers around him. Chu Zhongtian remembers watching Alonso's game video, and often sees him just looking up to observe, when the opponent runs to him to grab the ball, he controls the football in a circle, always keeping the opponent behind. If you still don't have a good passing target, pass the ball back and get rid of the defenders around you for a while.

Chu Zhongtian felt that this was an opportunity, and if he was replaced, he might be able to snatch the football away. As long as you can grab it, launch a fast attack immediately. He doesn't have to look around to figure out where to pass like Alonso, the whole stadium is in his head, and he knows where to pass even with his eyes closed!

After setting goals and plans, Chu Zhongtian took the time to find Sana and told him, hoping that he could help him. It's not himself who goes up to rob, it's Sana. Use Sana's defensive excellence to entangle Alonso, even if it's just for a few seconds, and then rush up to grab the ball himself.

If you don't succeed once, you have to do it a second time, and you have to break the ball anyway!

If you lose the ball in this position, it is very dangerous. As long as he can grab the ball, Chu Zhongtian can directly break through Real Madrid's originally airtight defense!

Unaware that he was being targeted by a wolf, Alonso continued to do his duty in midfield, taking the initiative to ask for the ball whenever the team was attacking. His teammates also believed in him and were willing to pass the football to him to organise the attack.

Originally, Hoffenheim's defense towards him was just a regular attitude, not strict or loose, and when there was a ball at his feet, he would come up to interfere and try to break the ball. Leaving him alone without the ball at their feet, they put more of their energy into Real Madrid's attacking line.

So when Sana came up to press Alonso, who had the ball, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He carried Sana behind him and passed the ball out.

This time, Chu Zhongtian didn't even go up to grab the ball, because Alonso passed too quickly and didn't give him such a chance.

In a place where Alonso couldn't see, Chu Zhongtian was communicating with Sana with his eyes and gestures.

Chu Zhongtian: Go up faster, and rob harder!

Sana: The timing is not good, next time.

None of the Real Madrid players could see that Hoffenheim was brewing a storm...... and Sana and Chu Zhongtian were still patiently waiting for their chance. Real Madrid, on the other hand, are still looking to score goals.

Ozil was a little surprised to find that the person defending him had changed, not the previous Sana, but Chu Zhongtian, but that's all. He is no stranger to Chu Zhongtian, after all, he has played several times in the Bundesliga, and each time it was his team that defeated Hoffenheim led by Chu Zhongtian.

The two are very familiar with each other, Chu Zhongtian knows the characteristics of Ozil, and Ozil also knows that this Chinese's one-on-one defensive ability is outstanding, and it is best not to carry the ball too much when facing him, otherwise it is likely to be broken. How far can you hide, how far you can hide.

Therefore, after Chu Zhongtian went to defend Ozil, Ozil handled the ball faster, but the threat caused was much less.

The purpose of Chu Zhongtian and Sana's switch of positions is to facilitate Sana to mark Alonso, to avoid the situation that Ozil's side is empty after defending Alonso, just so that Alonso can pass the football to Ozil.

With himself by Mesut Ozil's side, Alonso will at least not rush to pass the football over. Of course, if he wants to pass the ball, it's right here to break the ball and play a quick counter-attack.

Mourinho saw that it was almost 70 minutes and the score was still deadlocked, so he decided to make a substitution. Di Maria was replaced by a mediocre Pedro. Leon.

Chu Zhongtian saw the fourth official on the sidelines holding up a substitution sign, and Di Maria stood next to him. He knew he couldn't wait any longer. Di Maria's arrival will bring more variety and possibilities to Real Madrid's attack, and Real Madrid's attack will become more and more free and handy. Hoffenheim have to score as soon as possible, and if the clock drags on, it will only allow Real Madrid to score more chances.

"Di Maria is coming on! Mourinho gave him twenty minutes, which is not too short. Di Maria was supposed to rest for next Monday's national derby, but now it seems that his vacation is coming to an early end, and Real Madrid will not be able to open the situation. Di Maria, who is good at dribbling and fast, may bring new ideas and create new opportunities for Real Madrid's attack......" The commentator commented on Di Maria's appearance.

Anyway, everyone thinks that Di Maria's appearance is a signal for Real Madrid to strengthen their attack.

Rangnick also looked nervous, the game was still going on, there was no dead ball yet, Di Maria had to wait off the pitch for the time being. Rangnick walked to the sidelines and shouted Chu Zhongtian's name loudly, signaling that he was going to strengthen the offensive organization. During this period, because Chu Zhongtian focused on breaking the ball from Alonso's feet, Hoffenheim was on the defensive in the overall form, while Real Madrid's attack was impressive.

Rangnick had been worried that his team would concede a goal, and now that Di Maria was about to play, he feared that Di Maria would be the last straw that broke Hoffenheim's back.

Chu Zhongtian made an OK gesture to him.

During this time, he and Sana tried several times, either by the end or at all. As soon as Di Maria came on the pitch, Alonso's pass was simple, and Di Maria's side was definitely the assist route.

If you want to break the ball while he continues to watch like this, now may be the last chance.
