Chapter 122: Dragged into our rhythm

readx;

For the rest of the first half, Hoffenheim did not organise any effective attacks, and the players were a little impatient, taking every opportunity to roar at the referee against his previous misdecision. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the referee did make a mistake, it was obviously not wise to let the mistake affect the whole game.

Until the end of the first half, the score was 0:1, and Bayern Munich, who was playing away, took the lead. Hoffenheim, on the other hand, looked like they were attacking aggressively, but they didn't have any shots that would make Rensing's shots come to fruition.

Back in the dressing room, Rangnick grimaced everyone.

'When we were behind them last season, we were able to come back and win. Why not this season? Last season when we were led by Bayern Munich, I could see the fighting spirit and belief in you, so I'm relieved. But today I was worried on the sidelines. I'm afraid you're going to concede again! Can anyone tell me what's wrong with you? Because you won the league once, do you all think the game should go the way you want it to? ”

Rangnick looked at the player with a serious expression. Although he didn't rant too loudly, and like Alex Ferguson, he didn't spit a dirty word, but everyone felt the pressure. Some coaches don't need to rely on swearing and raising their voice to make people feel stressed.

'Yes, the referee blew away our goal, it was a clear miscalculation! But that's not something you should think about, you should think like this - he blew us a goal, then we'll score another goal! That's the attitude you should have, not to focus on chattering with the referee! ”

"I'm not going to rearrange any tactics for you, my tactics are fine. Remember what I said to you before I went on vacation? 'Forget about the championship and start over' now you've all forgotten that, haven't you? Then I'll say it again, and from today onwards, completely forget about the fact that you were the league champions last season. Start from scratch. Honor only belongs to the past, and after the holidays, there is no meaning. In the Bundesliga, there are many examples of winning the league once, but sinking. Think about Kaiserslautern, what happened after the miracle of the promotion horse? I'm glad that our first game was against an opponent like Bayern and not a promoted team, because it allowed me to catch the problem earlier – something that wasn't exposed in the warm-up game. I know you want to beat Bayern Munich before the game, but what do you have to prove your resolve? Leaning on the field and arguing with the referee? Get your mindset right! We're not the defending champions, we're still the title challengers! ”

While Rangnick was teaching his players a lesson, Van Gaal's side was complimenting his players. Louis van Gaal is not the kind of coach who likes to be a good man, but he is happy to be ahead of Hoffenheim in this first game. He came to accept Bayern Munich's purpose, not to revive his glory in the domestic league. For Van Gaal, the Bundesliga is simply Bayern Munich's back garden, and he can toss as much as he wants, even if he doesn't play well at the beginning, Bayern Munich can win the league championship with just a little effort. Such a league is too boring, and he came to Bayern to re-establish Bayern Munich's prestige on the European stage. As the representative of German football, Bayern Munich has not been able to make a difference in the Champions League since winning the Champions League in 2001. Their slump in the Champions League is also seen as a slump in German football, which shows the significance of Bayern Munich to German football.

Van Gaal has said in the team after taking charge that Bayern Munich only took a nap last season, and as long as they don't nap this season, the league title will still be theirs.

And to prove their words, this game beat last season's league champion, is the best proof of this.

Neither manager made any tactical changes to the second half, nor did he make any substitutions. In their opinion, there is no problem with tactics, and it is the performance of the players that determines the outcome of the game. Van Gaal believes that there is no problem with the performance of his players, although Bayern Munich was a little messy after the opening by Hoffenheim's onslaught, but fortunately quickly stabilized the position - in fact, he has to thank the referee Lafati, if it was not for that misjudgment, it is really hard to say what the situation would have become.

The only thing Van Gaal asked his players was to try to seize the initiative as soon as possible at the start of the second half. As long as they take the initiative of the game in their own hands, with Bayern Munich's heritage and strength, the game will develop in their favor.

Rangnick asked his players exactly the same thing, which was to get them into their familiar rhythm as soon as the game started.

The rhythm of the game is a very important thing. If you don't get the rhythm right, you won't be able to get into the groove and you may be sleepwalking the whole game.

Controlling the rhythm is obviously Chu Zhongtian's job.

Rangnick just told the team that they needed to get into their familiar rhythm as soon as possible, as for how to get in, it was Chu Zhongtian's own business, and Rangnick didn't interfere much.

What is Hoffenheim's familiar rhythm? Of course, it's fast, like a gale, coming fiercely and fast.

Bayern Munich is an old giant, accustomed to a steady rhythm.

If you want to catch them off guard, it's just quick.

How fast? As a winger, fast is to go crazy with the ball and break through the bottom, which is fast. But as an organizational midfielder, the fast pace is definitely not about burying your head in the ball and rushing forward. The speed of the core of the organization is to drive the whole team to follow suit.

Use more direct transmission, less or no return and horizontal transmission.

But a direct pass is a very dangerous double-edged sword, if you don't do it well, you will give the ball to the opponent, and your side is just about to accelerate, and suddenly you have to face a sudden braking. So this kind of "fast" is very difficult for players who control the rhythm to master.

A smarter "fast" is not only to be fast with your own team, but also to be fast with your opponent. If the opponent does not adapt to their own rhythm, there will inevitably be a lot of mistakes, although there will be mistakes here, but the team that is more adapted to this rhythm can benefit most from this kind of mistakes.

Chu Zhongtian decided to let Bayern dance to Hoffenheim's rhythm.

In this fast-paced dance, Bayern Munich's dance steps will stagger and lose the rhythm.

So not long after the game started, when he got possession, he didn't wait for his team-mate to plug in, or look around, he didn't hesitate to shove the ball straight ahead. It may seem a bit reckless, as the teammates in front of you don't have too good chances.

Chu Zhongtian was stuffed...... But it seems to be too much of a hurry......"

Before the words could be spoken, the football was snatched up by Bayern Munich's central defender Van Bitten, and Ibisevic, who was diagonally inserted behind him, pounced.

Sana yelled from behind, complaining that Chu Zhongtian had conceded possession so easily.

Chu Zhongtian glanced ahead, then turned around and shouted at him: "Just grab the ball back!" ”

After shouting, he rushed forward and went straight to Fan. Beaumel. Sana, on the other hand, found Schweinsteiger beside him after muttering. They all know that the key players in Bayern Munich's midfield are these two people.

Chu Zhongtian pounced on Fan. Bomel, while shouting at Ibisevic and others: "Force! Looting! ”

How can we get Bayern Munich to follow them? How can Bayern Munich make too many mistakes? It's about creating tension for them, pressing to make them miss, grabbing the ball and then playing quick counter-attacks, so that they don't have time to think and control the tempo, and then they're gradually dragged into the rhythm that Hoffenheim is used to.

Ibisevic was the first to understand Chu Zhongtian's intentions, and when he saw that he didn't get the ball, he didn't stand still and hold his head in frustration or complain that Chu Zhongtian didn't pass the ball well, but turned around and pounced on Van Bitten.

Van Bitten didn't expect Ibisevic's comeback to be so aggressive and quick. was stunned, and the other party had already stuck behind him. As a central defender, he knows what the consequences will be if the opposing striker is entangled in this position, and Van Bitten does not dare to delay any longer, although he has not observed the situation in front of him, and now he can only pass the football first.

So he hastily passed the football to the fan in front. At the foot of Bomel.

Just in Fan. The moment Bommel received the ball, Chu Zhongtian's flying tackle also arrived. Actually, this is not to kick off a leg of the Dutchman, all he has to do is to give Van . Beaumel creates a tense air that makes Van . Bommel thought that Chu Zhongtian would kick him, so he could only rush the ball.

Van Bitten hastily played the ball, Van Beeten. Bommel also rushed the ball, then maybe Schweinsteiger, maybe Baumjohn, anyway, everyone else rushed the ball, and Bayern Munich's rhythm was out of order. There are many reasons for rushing out of the ball, on the one hand, it is naturally Hoffenheim's tight defense that puts too much pressure on them, and on the other hand, after the previous person rushes out the ball, because the pass is too hasty, it is not good in accuracy and strength, so it is very uncomfortable for teammates to catch it, they can't stop the ball well, and they have to spend more time to adjust, so when Hoffenheim's players force up, time has not allowed them to adjust, and naturally they can only continue to pass out in a hurry...... In fact, without so many "hasty shots", Bayern Munich's counterattack ended on Van Bommel's side. Bommel deflected the ball, and he wanted to pass it to Schweinsteiger in front, but it was intercepted by Sana, who was already stuck in position.

When Chu Zhongtian was still lying on the ground, he looked back at the football, and after seeing Sana intercept the ball, he got up from the ground as soon as possible.

As soon as Sana looked up, he saw Chu Zhongtian's figure, so he hurriedly passed the football over.

In the absence of pressing, even if the pass was fast, there would not be too many mistakes, so the ball was accurately sent to Chu Zhongtian's feet.

The whole process took no more than a minute, Chu Zhongtian lost the ball dozens of seconds ago, and the football returned to his feet dozens of seconds later. As if it hadn't existed for tens of seconds, everything was back to square one...... No, it's different now than it was a few dozen seconds ago, because the opponent was in a situation of "switching from defense to offense" in the dozens of seconds just now, so now there are some holes in their back line, maybe these holes are difficult for ordinary people to find, but in Chu Zhongtian's brain, these holes are many and clear.

Ibisevic had just snatched Van Bitten and went back to no offside, and Obasi was not offside. Here's the chance!

Chu Zhongtian shook his feet again and passed straight!

The football rolled forward quickly against the turf, and this time Chu Zhongtian did not pass directly to the feet of Obasi or Ibisevic, but between Van Bitten and Bad Stupebe!

He knew the two had never played together before, as it was Bad Studbe's first Bundesliga game. As a centre-back partner, a lack of chemistry can be fatal. Chu Zhongtian grasped the fact that the two of them did not have a tacit understanding.

Sure enough, when the ball passed through the area between the two men, Van Bitten thought that Bad Stupbe was going to make up for the defense, so he went to mark Ibisevic, and Bad Studbe thought that Van Bitten was going to intercept the ball, so he turned around and planned to follow Obasi. As a result, no one stopped them, and the football passed between them.

Ibisevic cut in diagonally at the moment of Chu Zhongtian's pass. He received the ball just as he received it when it came between Van Bitten and Bad Stuberbe. And when Van Bitten turned to look for Ibisevic, he found that Ibisevic was no longer in the position he had seen before, but stuck behind him.

Bad Stupeube raised his hand to signal to the linesman and referee, Hoffenheim's Ibisevic was offside.

Van Bitten's experience was that the goal should not be offside, so he tackled straight at Ibisevic, who he judged would definitely shoot straight at goal - any striker who controls the ball when facing the goalkeeper will choose to shoot instead of anything else...... So he shoveled at Ibisevic's striker and raised his leg high in the hope of blocking Ibisevic's shot.

At the same time, Bayern got goalkeeper Rensing also abandoned the goal, ready to block Ibisevic's shot.

How did you think that Ibisevic did not shoot directly, but directly crossed!

He passed the ball to the other end of the penalty area, and the ball almost grazed the toes of Van Bitten, who had rushed back, and if it had been a little later, it would have been destroyed by Van Bitten, and of course, it could have caused Van Bitten to score an own goal.

Obasi's side was completely unmarked, and when he was also in front of Ibisevic, he pulled a little outside a little, just avoiding Bad Stupe's defense, and then Bad Stuber saw that the situation was not good, and also ran to the middle to make up for it, and his side was completely empty.

As soon as I turned my head, it was Bayern Munich's goal, the huge goal was empty, and its defender Rensing had rushed to the edge of the small penalty area, on the side of Ibisevic.

What Obasi had to do was simple – he adjusted his posture, then lifted his left foot, broke it out, and gently pushed it inward when the ball rolled over. The ball changed direction and rolled towards the goal!

All Rensing can do now is turn his head and watch Obasi complete the whole process in less than a second, and as for the other Bayern players, there is nothing they can do.

Football flew into the Bayern Munich goal as everyone watched.

The Rhine-Neckar Stadium erupted in cheers when Chu Zhongtian made his second direct pass, which reached its climax the moment Obsi scored the ball into the goal.

"Hofen! Hoffen! Hoffenheim! ”

"The ball is in! They equalised!! ”

"Ibisevic's pass was so timely and unselfish! And Obasi's shot was also decisive! ”

'Obasi scored their first league goal of the new season for Hoffenheim with an assist from Ibisevic!'

Everyone was applauding these two people.

Maybe until now everyone would think that Chu Zhongtian's first direct pass was a mistake, but in fact, every time it was in his calculations.

The real hero of this goal was him.

However, he was not at all arrogant, and when he saw the goal, he rushed towards Obasi and Ibisevic with open arms.

Of course, Rangnick knew that Chu Zhongtian was the greatest hero, and he stood up and applauded Chu Zhongtian. From the moment Van Bitten broke the ball, Bayern Munich actually fell into Hoffenheim's rhythm.

'Hoffenheim returned to normal in the second half, and you can see from this series of attacks that they are very purposeful and not like they did in the first half. Someone can still see it. "Chu played his central role!"

The Hoffenheim fans are singing again, and this song is familiar to everyone after last season. As long as you hear this sound, it means that Hoffenheim is here!

Louis van Gaal was a little frustrated by the goal. Just three minutes into the second half, the team conceded a goal. His halftime setup was all useless.

He didn't expect Hoffenheim to score so quickly in the second half, and they seemed to have changed their style of play...... at Abel's home, after seeing Obasi kick the ball into the goal, Abel jerked his hands up and jumped up from his seat.

"Oh!" He cheered.

Daniel glared at Abel, who didn't wave his fist. Because he still knows whose "home turf" it is. He just scratched at his already small hair, in annoyance.

The TV broadcast happened to give the Bayern players a close-up, and Daniel was just as annoyed.

Looking at the cheering Abel beside him, Daniel could only lower his head and scold the indisputable Bayern in his heart. How can you let your opponent score so quickly?

"It's a tough game for Bayern Munich!" The narrator's voice was still choking Daniel's heart. "Hoffenheim had one win and one draw against Bayern Munich last season when they were still promoted, and it seems that Hoffenheim have a psychological advantage when they play Bayern Munich......"

Abel also heard what the narrator was saying. He remembered that he could watch the game with Daniel now, and dare to cheer so wantonly in front of him, which he really couldn't have done a year ago...... It seems that he also has a psychological advantage in the face of Daniel?
