"Chu Zhongtian went to the meeting alone! Nice ejection! The ball is in! The ball is in!! When Chu Zhongtian just popped the football out, He Ping, who was in the Beijing studio, couldn't wait to call it out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info made the audience who didn't know the truth think that He Ping went to the scene, this is the phenomenon of sound and picture being out of sync...... Immediately after the football flew into the goal, He Ping's shouting went to the next level.

“3:2！ 3:2！ Hoffenheim lead Manchester United on their home turf! It's a thrilling race! Hoffenheim, who are relatively weak, have a good chance of beating Manchester United in the game! This ensured their group qualification! Hoffenheim, who are playing in the Champions League for the first time, are going further! ”

He Ping was already excited.

He is not a Hoffenheim fan, but he is a fan of Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian has performed well, and he is naturally happy.

At the same time, at the Rhein-Neckar stadium, the Hoffenheim fans were also excited. They witnessed Hoffenheim beat a European powerhouse on their home turf, and although Bayern Munich is considered a European powerhouse, there is always a perception that the teams in the Champions League are better than those in the domestic league.

Manchester United's previous game in Sinsheim was already considered a great moment in the history of Hoffenheim FC, but I didn't expect that it was less than 48 hours before the great moment was refreshed.

There was nothing but deafening cheers and no other sound coming out of the entire Rhine-Neckar stadium, and the more than 5,000 United fans could not hear themselves even if they opened their mouths to sing.

"Hoffenheim! Hoffenheim! Hoffenheim! ”

Such shouts are endless.

"It's unbelievable...... Chu's goal in the 84th minute completely pushed Manchester United down the abyss! ”

"Hoffenheim lead Manchester United 3-2! The game is not over yet, Manchester United have a chance! But I still have to applaud Hoffenheim, they showed amazing courage and strength! I don't think it's for nothing that UEFA has named them the biggest dark horse in the Champions League this season......"

"Such a score almost declared Manchester United's exit and Hoffenheim's promotion! In the remaining minutes, even if United can pull a goal back, it will only be a draw, and unless they win, they will not be able to qualify from this group as they stand...... Well done Hoffenheim! ”

The commentators took off their hats to Hoffenheim.

Here, Manchester United's dugout was full of mourning.

Ferguson angrily waved his hand and slammed it on the roof of the dugout. Is my team really going to go home in the group stage? He thought so in his heart.

"No, go Welbeck and call it back!" He shouted at assistant coach Whelan.

Whelan hurriedly ran out and hurried to call Welbeck, who was warming up.

At Hoffenheim's dugout and bench, Rangnick was hugging his teammates. Chu Zhongtian's goal means that Hoffenheim is getting closer and closer to the round of 16, and it is already impressive to have such a result in the Champions League for the first time. And it proved himself right to spend three seasons at Hoffenheim, and he finally paid off.

After being swept away by Schalke 04, he felt that the giant team was not suitable for him. Because in that kind of place, there are too many variables, and as a coach, if you can't effectively implement your beliefs for a long time, then you will not achieve anything. He admires a coach like Arsene Wenger and he likes to develop slowly in one place, instilling his beliefs in the whole team, starting from scratch, from a blank sheet of paper, and developing a team that is completely his own.

In such an environment, Schalke 04 can't give it, and Bayern Munich can't give it either. But Hoffenheim, who was still an amateur team at the time, was able to give it, so although he still had a lot of job options after leaving class, including coaching the Chinese Olympic team, he finally chose to come to Hoffenheim and build his football empire from scratch.

From developing young players to buying promising young youngsters from all over the world, Rangnick has been building on the kingdom and now the team is finally taking shape.

Beating a team like Manchester United on their home turf would have been unthinkable for the Hoffenheim in the past.

Today, they almost do!

"Great! Ha ha! ”

※※※ Mr. Hope in the stands also jumped up from his seat with his arms raised at the moment when Chu Zhongtian shot the football into the Manchester United goal, and then accepted the congratulations of the people around him.

"Congratulations, Mr. Hope."

'Your team is doing well and you deserve it, Mr. Hope.

Everyone extended their hands to him, and Hope thanked him one by one.

In fact, what he hopes most at this time is not to greet these VIPs, but to cheer to the fullest. He saw that the dream he had started twenty years ago was becoming a reality little by little, and what could be more fulfilling?

So far, Hope feels that there are two things that he has done best and most correctly in his life, one is to establish SAP with his peers, and the other is to invest in Hoffenheim Football Club, and since then he has started a twenty-year dream.

SAP is already the world's third-largest software company, and Hope has stepped down from the position of chairman of SAP. For him, sap is in the past tense and Hoffenheim is in the present continuous and future tense.

Finally dealing with the guests who came up to congratulate him, Hope finally had time to vent his emotions like a regular fan. He unfolded the Hoffenheim scarf around his neck, clutched it in his hands, raised his arms and sang along with the fans below.

He did this a few years ago in the humble stands of Hoffenheim, when he was chairman of SAP and was no different from a regular fan on the sidelines. Now he refuels on the rostrum of the modern Rhein-Neckar Stadium and his identity is different, but his feelings for Hoffenheim remain the same.

Before becoming an investor in Hoffenheim, he was first and foremost a fan of the Hoffenheim football team.

The Hoffenheim players celebrated like crazy, and if it weren't for the referee's intervention, they could have been celebrating until the end of the 90 minutes.

At the same time as the game resumed, Manchester United made a substitution. Welbeck replaced Nani, who didn't perform well throughout the game.

At this time, Whelan suddenly told Ferguson with a look of surprise: "Boss, good news! ”

Ferguson turned his head to look at him, not understanding what the good news meant.

"Besiktas pulled a goal back! Now they are 1:1 draw! ”

Ferguson was stunned for a moment, and then quickly converted in his mind what the qualifying situation would be if the two sides were divided.

If CSKA Moscow are held to a draw away from Besiktas, United will be level on eight points. In this case, comparing the relationship between the two sides, Manchester United's CSKA Moscow record is one win and one draw...... Advantage!

In other words, if CSKA Moscow draws with Besiktas, Manchester United will be able to qualify even if they lose to Hoffenheim.

Although this qualification is not very glamorous, Ferguson is a veteran coach, and face is definitely not as important as the result, which he knows very well. As long as he can qualify, it doesn't matter how he came out.

It was indeed good news and he asked Whelan: "When did Besiktas score the goal?" ”

"Eighty-fourth minute." Whelan replied.

Ferguson was stunned for a moment: "Isn't that the time we conceded?" "Just now, two minutes ago, Chu Zhongtian shot the football into the goal guarded by Kutsak, and the game was eighty-four minutes at that time.

Whelan nodded: "It was too noisy just now, and we were all fighting for that conceded goal...... So I didn't have the heart to care about that side. ”

Ferguson was a little relieved, although the game is not over, but the current situation is in their favor, it depends on whether Besiktas can fight.

He thought Besiktas was hopeful of fighting for third place in the group and going to the League Cup. In this case, maybe Besiktas can really help Manchester United...... but the Manchester United players on the pitch don't know this. They attacked Hoffenheim's goal after the restart, not because it would have allowed them to qualify, but because of the pride of the giants, they did not want to lose to Hoffenheim. In football, don't lose if you can't win, and it's better to draw than to lose.

If they knew that the hosts had held CSKA Moscow to a draw at home to Besiktas, perhaps they would have gone the extra mile.

But it didn't take many minutes for them to know. Because from that side there is news of another goal.

“2:1！！” Whelan shouted excitedly at Ferguson. “2:1！！”

"Who's ahead?" Ferguson's concern is all about the key.

"Home team! Besiktas! They're scoring again! ”

At this time, it was 89 minutes of the game, and the score between Hoffenheim and Manchester United was still 3:2, with the home team Hoffenheim leading.

Hearing the news, Ferguson suddenly felt that his pacemaker was in danger of going into arrest, so he took a deep breath and stabilized his emotions.

If the scoreline is maintained until the end, it means that even if United lose away to Hoffenheim, they will definitely qualify. With only seven points on CSKA, Manchester United are one point clear of the group standings and are second in the group standings.

In the eighty-ninth minute, the probability of this score changing is too small. And even if CSKA Moscow scores another goal, it will only be a draw. And according to the previous analysis, even if it is a draw, Manchester United will qualify...... Despite the defeat to Hoffenheim, Manchester United still qualified. Regardless of the process, the result was a consolation for Ferguson.

※※※Soon Manchester United fans also knew the results from the stadium over there, and Manchester United had basically qualified! And so they let out a loud cheer.

At this time, it was Hoffenheim who was in possession of the ball, but Manchester United fans suddenly cheered, which made many people still a little confused.

However, Hoffenheim's assistant coach Zeidler said to Rangnick, who looked up at the stands: "CSKA Moscow is 1-2 down to Besiktas, and it looks like Manchester United have also qualified......"

Rangnick snorted. Manchester United didn't qualify, he didn't care. He got up from his seat and walked to the sidelines. The players on the bench had already done so, and they couldn't wait on the sidelines for the game to end.

It would be a historic moment as Hoffenheim beat Manchester United on their home turf to claim their first victory over a European giant. As a result, they will advance to the round of 16 as group winners.

After the fourth minute of stoppage time, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game!

"It's over! Hoffenheim beat Manchester United 3-2 at their home stadium! Before the game, everyone thought that United had the advantage and that they had better hopes of winning, but football proved its unpredictability once and again. The fact is that Hoffenheim relied on Chu Zhongtian's outstanding performance to repel the incoming enemy on his home turf! ”

"The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game! What a twist and turn this game is! Manchester United once closed Hoffenheim to the brink of a desperate situation, but in the end Hoffenheim pushed the Reds to a dead end...... Had it not been for Besiktas's defeat to CSKA at their home turf, United might have gone on to play the UEFA Cup. This is an absolute shame for last season's Champions League runners-up! ”

"Hoffenheim's performance was amazing and even more respectable! Among them, Chu's performance was the most amazing performance in the audience, and he was selected as the best in the field and deservedly! ”

The TV broadcast camera has firmly followed Chu Zhongtian, which is the proof that he was elected the best in the audience.

Scoring two goals, assisting one, completely dominating the game, if that kind of performance is not the best of the game, who else can deserve to be the best of the game?

The substitutes rushed onto the pitch the moment the final whistle blew. Chu Zhongtian was surrounded by his teammates on the field, and everyone hugged him to celebrate the victory.

"We won! We won Manchester United! Ha ha! ”

"We really won Manchester United!"

"It's amazing!"

Everyone hugged each other and cheered.

Then more players poured in and formed a big circle on the field.

Over there, Ranik was shaking hands with Alex Ferguson.

Ferguson, who had just learned that his team had also qualified, was in a good mood and did not put on a bad face.

Rangnick also took care to control his emotions and did not get carried away with a proper smile on his face.

The media chased the star players to hear what they had to say after the game.

Chu Zhongtian had just escaped from the embrace of his teammates and fell into the encirclement of reporters.

Countless microphones reached out to him.

"Tell me how it felt to win at home to Manchester United?"

"It's the first time you've scored twice in the Champions League, congratulations! Can you tell us about your impressions......

"As a Chinese player, do you get excited to penetrate Manchester United's goal three times?"

…… Hoffenheim fans in the stands began chanting Chu Zhongtian's name again.

"Chu! Clear! Clear! The shouts overpowered all other voices, and the Hoffenheim fans were expressing their gratitude and support to Chu Zhongtian in this way.

Cornelia shouted hardest, but on a winter night, she was sweating profusely, and took off the coat she had brought and put it aside.

In fact, when Chu Zhongtian transferred to Hoffenheim for 30 million euros, Cornelia was very skeptical of this Chinese's ability. She had never heard of a Chinese footballer worth 30 million euros, did he really have the ability?

Originally, she didn't plan to bring people to the welcome ceremony, but with the communication of the club, she still brought hundreds of people to cheer. It's just that in the stands they didn't show enthusiasm, everyone was talking. Where is this plain-looking Chinese worth 30 million?

"If you want me to say, three million is too expensive for me. Mr. Hope can't waste his money like that......" Someone else said at the time.

And as Hoffenheim's new season unfolds, their skepticism is gradually decreasing.

Now more than 24,000 people chanted Chu Zhongtian's name in unison, but they couldn't have imagined it before. But now the people involved in it, the people who had suspected Chu Zhongtian, were very hard working when calling his name.

Chu Zhongtian conquered these discerning fans with his practical actions.

Now no one thinks that Chu Zhongtian is still worth 30 million euros, they think that Chu Zhongtian is a priceless treasure, and no matter how much money is given, they will not sell it!

In the 110-year history of Hoffenheim, there is finally a superstar!

"Chu! Clear! Clear! "The shouting was louder.

Chu Zhongtian pointed to the stands and said to the reporters who surrounded him: "Thoughts? Listen to such cheers, this is how I feel, haha! ”

He answered the shouts of the fans with open arms.

It was the best reward he had since the win over Manchester United. It makes him happier than exchanging jerseys with the opposing team's stars.

※※※"The race is over! "In the Wimbledan bar, everyone raised their arms and cheered, and some sighed—now they finally had time to take a sip.

"Cheers! For Chu's two goals! ”

"Cheers! Wei Chu came out of us! ”

"Cheers! For this game! ”

Everyone raised their glasses, and the quiet bar where only the sound of the TV could be heard was back to the bustle.

Boss John also raised his wine glass and shouted to everyone: "For Chu's wonderful performance, this glass, I please!" ”

"Oh! John, you're so generous! ”

"Then we should thank Chu first!"

So everyone pointed their wine glasses at the TV and shouted at Chu Zhongtian inside: "Thank you, Chu!" ”

Others imitated the pre-meal prayer and said, "Thank you for the wine, Chu!" Ha ha! ”

The players left the pitch one by one and returned to the locker room. Journalists also rushed to the post-match press conference. The fans in the stands began to disperse. Despite the loss, Manchester United finally got the right to qualify from the group, so Manchester United fans were not too depressed when they left, let alone Hoffenheim fans, I wonder how many people will be able to sleep this night?

Cornelia was directing everyone to roll up the flag and carry it out. In order to pull this big flag, they rented a special truck.

After finishing this, she looked back at the green field where only the stadium maintenance workers were busy, and let out a soft sigh.

It's going to be a game that they'll be talking about for years to come, right?

A hand was wrapped around her fat waist.

"Let's go home, dear." Her husband stood beside her at some point, his voice a little hoarse, apparently singing and yelling throughout the game.

During the game, Cornelia was so engrossed that she didn't pay any attention to her husband, and now she was a little tired, so she snuggled into her arms and nodded.

"I don't think I can sleep tonight." She said wearily.

"Me too."

Hearing her husband say this, Cornelia, who was nestled in her arms, raised her head and met her husband's eyes.

"Would you like to have a drink?" The two of them spoke in unison.

Both laughed at the same time.

It was a fantastic night.
