When Chu Zhongtian planned Hoffenheim's goal with an unconventional pass, the Cartbus players in the stands looked annoyed, but Shao Jiayi was surprised. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Chu Zhongtian's performance is something he has never seen in the national team.

That Chu Zhongtian in the national team is either just a simple defender, or he is a panacea, a brick of socialism, where he needs to move. He is not the tactical core of the team, the manager has not entrusted him with important responsibilities, and his teammates around him do not know his true quality and are not willing to listen to him and obey him. So he is like a drop of water on the surface of oil, completely insoluble in this team.

So much so that some people in the team feel that Chu Zhongtian's strength is not as powerful as the media has blown - not every professional player will watch professional football matches, in fact, even many football coaches in China do not watch football games.

This is the first time Shao Jiayi has seen a Chu Zhongtian who has let go of the kick without reservation, he is free, like a fish swimming in the rivers and lakes, and like a bird soaring nine heavens away. is completely different from the lifeless Chu Zhongtian who was in the national team...... What is causing all this?

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands were celebrating and cheering wildly as it was their team's first-ever Bundesliga goal. They have reason to be so happy.

The same was true on the Hoffenheim bench and in the coach's box on the sidelines. When he saw Chu Zhongtian send the football to the empty spot with a turn and pass movement, Rangnick had already stood up from his seat. He could already predict what was going to happen next.

Demba. Ba unmarked received the ball, passed it to Ibisevic, and then fired straight into the empty net...... When this scene did happen, he shook his fist vigorously.

The most subtle and critical part of this attack appeared in Chu Zhongtian, he turned around and let the football get rid of the opponent's defender, not only that, but he also pulled out the opponent's central defender, disrupting the opponent's originally good defense line, and making the opponent's defense empty. Most importantly, he didn't just create the void, he used it to score goals for the team.

This is why he personally went to China to persuade Chu Zhongtian to join.

The transfer fee of 30 million...... It's cheap!

※※※"Oh - beautiful! Chu Zhongtian's pass! The ball is in! The ball is in! The Bundesliga commentator of the Fengyun football channel shouted excitedly.

He was just as excited as the Chinese fans who sat in front of the TV or watched the game in front of their computers.

But after the excitement, they felt mixed feelings.

They didn't understand Chu Zhongtian's choice. Suffice it to say, there is hardly a single person in China who supports him to go to Hoffenheim. But he just went. Now when everyone is watching the Bundesliga game, they have mixed feelings, of course they hope that Chu Zhongtian will perform well, and at the same time, they feel that with Hoffenheim's strength, it must be the fate of relegation.

Now I saw Chu Zhongtian shake off the opponent with a wonderful turn, and then passed the ball, planning Hoffenheim's first ball. The mood is even more complicated.

The better Chu Zhongtian performed, the more they had to sigh - why did such an excellent player choose a little-known promotion horse? No matter how good it is, the top result is just to help the team relegate...... What is the value of such a team that deserves to play for?

Could it be that Hoffenheim is just a springboard for Chu Zhongtian? He has attracted the attention of the big teams with his excellent performances in the team?

But this is too unreliable, if you want to attract the attention of the giants, isn't it enough in Metz? The champion of the League Cup...... ※※※ The teammates were running back, and Ibisevic put one hand around Chu Zhongtian's neck and was smiling and saying something to him in his ear.

Salihovich saw the scene. He still thought what had just happened was incredible.

I just high-fived that Chinese?

And the goal came from a pass I gave him...... "Ha! Well done, Chu! I knew you could! "Ibisevic scored the first Bundesliga goal in Hoffenheim's history, and whatever happens to him in the future, at least he has put his name on Hoffenheim's history.

But this is not the main reason for his happiness, what makes him happy is Chu Zhongtian's excellent performance, which gives him a feeling of being in Metz, being able to meet old acquaintances in an unfamiliar team, and also being able to relive the good old days. That's the most gratifying thing.

He didn't have any worries about joining a promoted team, because he knew that with Chu here, there was nothing to worry about. They are bound to go for a lot of victories and, like manager Rangnick said, relegation is not their goal at all!

What is our goal? It's a victory!

Even if this team is now promoted, with Chu, then the future is not. Just like Metz back then, he was still in a thrilling relegation last season, and he qualified for the League Cup in the second season, and he simply stood on the top of Europe after another season!

Metz can, why can't Hoffenheim, who is richer than Metz?

Therefore, after hearing that Chu Zhongtian was in this team, he agreed to Hoffenheim's invitation without saying a word, and even preferred to take a salary cut to join.

For him, the gains and losses now are not important. The transfer to Hoffenheim is a long-term investment, and the reason why he, as an "investor", is so confident.

"Let the Germans who look down on you see what they do, ha!" He slapped Chu Zhongtian the back.

※※※ After taking the lead by one goal, Hoffenheim were more confident and their morale was high. In the next game, he took the initiative.

And Chu Zhongtian's performance in the midfield has become more and more stable, not only controlling the team's offensive rhythm, but also contributing his strength in defense many times. As a result, Chu Zhongtian chased back the ball several times, and they dispelled this idea.

In the eyes of Cartbus's players, Chu Zhongtian is not a person, but a group of people. Because before you thought he was involved in the attack, then you will find out that he is the one who broke the football at your feet. He can be anywhere on the pitch whenever the situation demands it.

How could it be done if it were a single person?

They are obsessed with the authorities. The TV broadcast and the live audience could see very clearly that Chu Zhongtian kept sprinting back and forth in the race, not stingy with physical fitness at all, and his speed was not slow. There is another point that can't be seen just by watching live TV, that is, Chu Zhongtian's grasp of the game situation can allow him to choose the right action and path, and there will be no blind running. Although he kept running, he never wasted his physical energy, and he always made a difference every time he ran over.

This is not something that can be seen just by watching the broadcast of the game for more than 20 minutes. When Rangnick watched Chu Zhongtian's game video, he also thought that Chu Zhongtian was running blindly, but because he ran a lot and had good physical fitness, the blind cat bumped into a dead mouse, and for 90 minutes in a game, he kept running, which always allowed him to bump into so many dead mice.

Later, he found out that this was not the case, and after analyzing Chu Zhongtian's massive game videos, he found that his initial idea was outrageously wrong. This player is running non-stop, but he is running with purpose, and he has a clear goal in every action, which is directly aimed at the key points of the game. It's like a talent, he has an innate inspiration and knows how to act in the game.

This kind of player has surpassed the realm of the average player. If the average player is a pawn on a chessboard, then such a player is a chess player.

And if you want to become a real "free man", you can only become a chess player first. You have to look beyond the game itself, look down on the game from above, have a big picture, and know how to dominate the game, how to lead the team.

In Chu Zhongtian's body, such qualities are shining. Initially, at the time of Metz, such a light was faint, but with the help of Jean. Fernandes' training and game experience have become more and more intense, and the scope of radiation is gradually expanding.

Now in Hoffenheim, Chu Zhongtian in Rangnick's eyes can no longer see a human figure, and he has become a golden light, illuminating most of the stadium. Rangnick believes that one day, this light will envelop the entire stadium.

In the 25th minute, Chu Zhongtian divided the ball in the middle and gave the football to Salihovic, who crossed from the left, and Weiss inserted a direct shot at the back point. But due to the lack of power in the shot, it was saved by Tremer on the ground. Despite the goallessness, the attack earned applause and cheers from the Hoffenheim fans. Rather, Cottage fans were angry that their team had been bullied by the Bianconeri.

They chanted attacking slogans, asking the players to be braver and crush the capitalist lackeys in front of them.

"We're going to see your attack!! Show your fighting spirit, you are Cartbus! ”

Amid the roar of the fans, the home team Cottages finally showed some fighting spirit. Perhaps they were confused by Hoffenheim's fierce attack before, thinking that their team was already several goals behind, and now they are only one goal behind, and the game really didn't give up.

They went on the offensive and caused some problems for the Hoffenheim defence.

In the fortieth minute, Hoffenheim's central defender Pell. Nelsson suffered a facial injury while battling with opposition striker Langelof and returned to the game after a brief treatment, but the injury affected him a bit and he couldn't concentrate 100 per cent during the game.

In the 42nd minute, Ivbus finally found an opportunity, taking advantage of the lack of marking at the Hoffenheim backline, and the team's Danish attacker Sorensen (dennis_sorensen) headed home from left-back Zibzi (daniel_ziebig) in the six-yard box, but referee Winkman ruled that the Dane had charged goalkeeper Ozcan first, and the goal was disallowed.

Until the end of the first half, Cottages did not score again.

At halftime, Rangnick praised the performance of the whole team, and he did not specifically praise him, but everyone knows that Chu Zhongtian can score one point in this first half (the scoring habits of the German league are different from those of other national leagues, which are all ten-point systems, and the higher the score, the better the performance. In Germany, it's a five-point system, and the lower the score, the better your performance, and one point equals 10 points in other leagues).

He waved to Salihovic to pass the ball to him, just to get the attention of the Cottage defenders, who passed the ball to him and managed to lure one of the opposition's centre-backs out. Then turn around and get rid of the re-pass, all in one go, such a performance is not common in the entire Bundesliga.

It seems that this airborne core does have the ability and qualifications to lead the team.

Rangnick then took a look at Nelson's injury, and it looked like the centre-back couldn't keep playing. Rangnick had to replace the injured Nelsson with 20-year-old Jaisler (matthias_jaissle).

The 20-year-old defender was developed by Stuttgart's youth team and moved to Hoffenheim on a free transfer in the 06-07 season. Last season, he made 22 appearances for the first team in the Bundesliga, scoring two goals. Because of his outstanding performance, he was not purged this season, but remained in the team as a substitute.

Rangnick didn't make any tactical changes, just asked everyone to pay more attention to their defense. Hoffenheim had a good first half, except for a bit of chaos in the final moments.

There was no need for him to make any adjustments.

After the start of the second half, Hoffenheim continued to dominate the game. Salihovic, with the support of Chu Zhongtian, also showed activity. In the 51st minute, he crossed from the left and was outflanked by Carlos at the back post. Eduardo knocked the ball away unguarded. There was a sigh in the stands.

Rangnick sighed as well. In fact, every time Hoffenheim attacked, people thought that the goal would definitely be scored, but it was always a little bit short. It can't help but feel regretful.

The commentator of CCTV's Fengyun Football Channel was also shocked several times, if you just listen to his commentary and don't watch the game screen, it will definitely make people think that Hoffenheim has a four-goal lead.

Just two minutes later, Hoffenheim made a comeback, Chu Zhongtian took the ball on the side of the front field and was pushed down by the opponent, and the referee gave a set-piece. Salihovic came up to take the penalty and sent a free-kick in front of goal, where young centre-back Comper got up and fired a shot from the spot, but it was too straight and the ball was right for Tremer.

Hoffenheim's continuous offensive made Ketbus, who still wanted to fight back in the second half, unable to hold his head up. They had no idea of equalising anytime soon.

The opponent's two consecutive shots on goal were unsuccessful, which also made the Cottbus players a little glad that they were not conceding a goal, and if they conceded two goals, the game would be difficult.

Unexpectedly, only a minute after this attack, Chu Zhongtian suddenly took the ball on the right side of the midfield and then suddenly made a long pass, and moved the football to the left before his midfield teammates could plug in. There, Demba. Instead of passing to Ibisevic on the other side, Ba chested the ball and forced his way past Ivbus centre-back Mitereschi.

See Dengba. Ba forced a breakthrough through Mitrekis and goalkeeper Tremer dropped the shot.

Facing the Cottage goalkeeper who abandoned the goal, Demba. Ba didn't choose to break through, but shot straight at goal! He calmly fired a right-footed shot into the far corner, and the ball rolled past Tremmel before finally rolling across the goal line and into the back of the net!

2:0！

"Ba scored! A long pass from Chu! Very beautiful, precise and ...... Suddenly! Take a look when Demba. When Ba receives the ball, he only has a few Cartbus defenders around him...... The timing is very good! ”

"The promoted side took a 2-0 lead at Cottages! It's unbelievable! Although Botbus's strength is not strong among Bundesliga teams...... However, judging from the scene, such a huge gap still made everyone unexpected. ”

This time, the Cottbus fans in the stands were neither booing nor scolding, because they were all stunned by Hoffenheim's strong performance.

How could they have imagined that the "Legion of Bitches" who were ridiculed by them could have such energy and leave them speechless on their home turf...... Not only were the Cottage fans stunned, but even the commentators on German television, who was in charge of broadcasting the game, chanted four "incredible" words in quick succession after chanting the goal.

"Before the season, everyone thought that Hoffenheim's biggest goal this season was relegation...... But after watching their performance in these 55 minutes, how many people can have such thoughts? It's incredible! It's incredible, it's incredible, it's incredible......"

But the game wasn't over yet, and Hoffenheim's shock to the Cartbus fans and the whole German crowd wasn't over.

In the 59th minute, Salihovic, who had performed well in the game, was replaced, and the team's former captain Teber came on.

Ketbus also wanted to fight back, but Hoffenheim did not defend passively this time, but continued to put pressure on Ketbus under the command of Chu Zhongtian.

After the chaos in the final stage of the first half, Chu Zhongtian realized that this team advocates offense, likes offense, and is accustomed to offense in their bones, and if they are allowed to concentrate on defense like Mace, they will not be able to do it.

So instead of passive defense, it is better to actively attack, use offense to replace defense, in the face of a weak opponent, this trick is very effective, not only can make the opponent unable to organize an effective offensive, but also can seize the opportunity to score again, it looks like the score is beautiful, and the scene is beautiful.

Under his push, Hoffenheim's offensive wave after wave, each attack made the Cottage fans worry a lot.

More than seventy minutes later, Chu Zhongtian, who had created countless opportunities for his teammates, thought of Rangnick's words.

Before the season, Rangnick asked him to practice shooting more, mainly to develop the habit of shooting with his feet in the game. Seventy-five minutes into the game, he had only one shot on goal, which was clearly a far cry from what Rangnick had hoped for. Thinking of this, he decided to try his hand at shooting.

Anyway, in his usual training, he has done a lot of shooting practice, and there are no problems in technique.

So in the seventy-sixth minute, Chu Zhongtian took the ball in the front court. While the Cottage players were on the lookout for him passing, and the commentators were speculating about who he would pass the ball to, he suddenly got up and shot!

Twenty-three meters away from the goal, Chu Zhongtian shot from a distance!

The ball flew towards the far corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Tremer made a save.

Who thought that Ibisevic would come out halfway, he originally wanted to hide, because he didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to shoot directly with his feet, so suddenly. Because he didn't expect it, he was half a beat slower when he shrank his neck, and the football hit his head, which was rubbed by him, resulting in an obvious line change.

The soccer ball flew into the goal from another angle...... "3:0!! Ibisevic's second goal! He's the big star of the game! ”

After the goal, Ibisevic was stunned for a moment, then opened his arms in celebration. He didn't expect Chu Zhongtian's ball to be touched into the goal by himself...... But forget it, let's celebrate first!

Chu Zhongtian didn't care about this kind of problem, he rushed to Ibisevic and wanted to hug him.

The Hoffenheim substitutes also rushed out of their seats with their arms raised.

Hoffenheim in the stands was almost in a frenzy, everyone was bouncing around the stands like a child, and there were no more people around him who seemed to be sober. For Hoffenheim fans, the victory was no less joyful than it was when they were promoted two months ago.

At the beginning, they themselves felt that the team could be satisfied with relegation in the first division.

But looking at this energetic and aggressive Hoffenheim, the question rang in everyone's hearts: "Are we really willing to just be relegated?" ”

And in the same way, in the face of such a newborn calf that is not afraid of the tiger-like Hoffenheim, their opponents will also ask themselves in their hearts: "Do they really want to be relegated?" ”

At this time, Rangnick's words sounded particularly sonorous.

"We're not here to stay in the First Division, we're going to try to win every game!"

This is the manifesto of an emerging force. It's just that before this game, it was overlooked by a lot of people, consciously or unconsciously......
