Diego's goal struck a hard blow in the hearts of the Hoffenheim players. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was only twenty-one minutes into the game, and they were already 3-1 down. There are 70 minutes left, how is the game going to be played?

Everyone felt a little lost.

Werder Bremen is just too strong. There are even people who have such thoughts in their hearts.

They were attracted by Chu Zhongtian's shouting.

"Seventy minutes left, what are you doing?" He questioned his stunned teammates loudly in German.

He's the captain now, so he can make that noise on the pitch.

"Cheer up!" Chu Zhongtian pushed Ibisevic next to him and pulled Raobasi. "Let's tee off!"

Then he ran to the goal, picked up the ball, turned and ran towards the centre circle.

How can anyone throw in the towel twenty minutes into the game?

※※※ "This game was really unexpected...... Twenty-one minutes into the game, Bremen were already 3-1 ahead of Hoffenheim......

In the press gallery at the Weser Arena in Bremen, reporters watched the images unfold on the small televisions in front of them while tapping on their laptops, recording some of the key moments of the game while jettling down the punchlines that came to mind for post-match scripts.

A reporter pointed to the monitor on the table and smiled at the peers next to him: "This is the true color of the 'dark horse', haha!" ”

Not many people paid attention to him, and everyone was busy with their work. Someone is typing on their laptop: "...... Hoffenheim conceded another goal, why say it again? Because it was the third goal they had conceded in twenty minutes! The immaturity of the promoted polo team was exposed in these twenty minutes! ”

“…… I really don't understand where the hubris of Rangnick and Hoppe comes from, when a team like this can become a giant in five years? Fifty years is not enough! ”

The Chinese reporters were also disappointed that the match was played like this, which they did not expect before the game.

It was thought that with the aftermath of a 4-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, Hoffenheim would be able to maintain this strong momentum. Who would have thought that he would run into a Bremen who beat Bayern Munich 5:2 in the last round of the league...... Of course, they are not Hoffenheim fans, but since Chu Zhongtian has joined Hoffenheim, can they still hope that Hoffenheim will lose in turns? What's more, Chu Zhongtian is the core of the team, and if the team loses, it can only mean that Chu Zhongtian, the core, is not good and has to be responsible. If the team loses, it will inevitably affect Chu Zhongtian's reputation.

But no matter how reluctant they are, they have to admit that the outcome of this game is doomed, and Hoffenheim's big loss to Bremen cannot be changed.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian does not think that the game has been decided. He's still trying to find an opportunity to attack.

In the 24th minute, he handed the football to Obasi, who forced the ball to break through the bottom and then passed back, and the follow-up Chu Zhongtian shot the line of the big penalty area and was saved by Bremen's goalkeeper Wiese (tim_wiese)!

The ball was not out of the danger zone, Obasi hit the right post with a shot from the edge of the six-yard box...... The Hoffenheim fans and the Bremen fans let out an exclamation at the same time.

Leif also "ahh ”

Duan Bin was chattering: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" What a pity...... If that goal had been scored, Hoffenheim would have been in a slightly better position, even though they were still behind, but one goal behind is a completely different feeling than two goals behind......"

Obasi was ready to cheer after the shot, because Wiese was already lying on the ground and couldn't get up, as long as he hit the ball in the frame of the goal, he scored. I didn't think that the football would hit the post. As soon as his legs went limp, he fell to his knees.

What made Biobasi feel even more pity was Chu Zhongtian, who held his head in his hands and rubbed his short hair, which was not too much, as if he wanted to pick off his scalp.

His shot was impeccable, but Wiese was so brave that he blocked the ball with one palm.

If this goal is scored...... Never mind!

Chu Zhongtian shook his head vigorously, he didn't think about the things that had already passed, and played the next game well.

Hoffenheim expressed their desire not to admit defeat, although only a few did. Bremen also fought back against them, and in the ensuing fixtures, they launched wave after wave of attacks against Hoffenheim's goal.

And finally it paid off in the thirtieth minute.

In the 30th minute, Bremen crossed from the wing, and Ozcan came out and knocked the football out of the box with both fists. But the landing point of the football was picked up by Bremen's player Hunt, who stopped the ball on the left side and turned to take a step, and then took a right-footed shot from 18 meters out, and the flying save Ozcan rubbed his fingertips, but the ball still flew into the goal against the underside of the crossbar!

"Aha, well done! Bremen! Well done!! "The fans who were watching the game in front of the TV just wanted to see Hoffenheim's hapless luck were dancing and yelling with excitement. Previously, they pinned their hopes on Dortmund, but Dortmund was not angry, but was beaten by the opponent 1-4, this time Werder Bremen finally did not disappoint them, the score has been announced in advance, although there are still 60 minutes, but it is just the "garbage time" in basketball.

※※※ "Four to one!" Four to one! What a crazy race! It's Bremen that's crazy! It only took them thirty minutes to end the game! This time, even Leif couldn't help but announce the result of the match in advance. Why did he come to such a conclusion, he is not purely from the score, more importantly, Hoffenheim basically did not dominate in these 30 minutes, only a few attacks were still a threat, but most of the time they were pressed by Bremen.

In the last game of the battle between Hoffenheim and Dortmund, Dortmund was also in such a situation, unable to control the situation, so he could only let Hoffenheim lead the nose, and now Hoffenheim is led by the nose by Bremen. There is no suspense that Hoffenheim will win that game, then there is no suspense that Bremen will win this game as well.

"Rangnick suddenly changed his formation before the game, switching to a 433 formation that Hoffenheim had never played before. Judging by these thirty minutes of play, it was a failure. The Hoffenheim players were unfamiliar with the new formation and it was clear that they were at a loss for what to do......

Leif's criticism is indeed sharp. Rangnick's sudden decision to play 433 was indeed due to Eduardo's metatarsal contusion in training the day before the game, and there was no forward midfielder available, so he had to temporarily change to 433. And the players did not perform well in the game because they had rarely practiced this formation before.

But in reality, 433 was definitely not created by Rangnick on a whim. Rannick was already thinking about it after Obasi returned from Nigeria's Olympic team. In his opinion, whether it is Obasi, Demba Ba, or Ibisevic, they are all very good strikers, but it is too wasteful to use only two for a long time, and to put another person on the bench. So from that time on, he was thinking about how to get three good strikers on the pitch at the same time and what kind of tactical adjustments to make.

Changing formations doesn't mean having one less man in midfield and one more up front. There are a lot of issues involved, and all aspects need to be taken into account. That's why Rangnick has kept Obsi on the bench – he's not ready.

Eduardo's sudden injury was a catalyst that made Rangnick decide to give it a try. Otherwise, he can let Gustavo and Chu Zhongtian start at the same time, and it is safer to play the more popular double-back tactics.

However, Rangnick likes to pursue something different from others, and at a time when German football was still holding on to the scavenger tactics and was not able to be flexible, he first explained the importance of parallel positioning in the back four. In modern football, where the "free man" has disappeared, he decided to create a "free man" for world football again. He doesn't need to be conservative, he's always chasing something bold and ridiculous.

It's just that this time the team changed the formation, because the team was not well prepared, and the players were not very familiar with the new tactics, and the performance was very bad. Only then did he get four goals in 30 minutes.

But the game isn't over yet!

Rangnick got up from his seat, not to make tactical adjustments, but to show the stunned players that the will of the manager was coming from the head coach - the game was not over yet!

Chu Zhongtian is also doing such a thing.

But he didn't shout like he had conceded a third ball to cheer his team-mates up – honestly, it didn't work.

He turned his head and saw Salihovic, who was a little distracted, and there were many people who were stunned by the opponent's goal frequency like basketball, even Salihovic was no exception. Chu Zhongtian had to sigh that the biggest difference between a strong team and a weak team may lie in this - a strong team is not easy to collapse, while the danger line for a weak team to collapse is too low. No matter how good Salihovic is, he is a young man who is playing in the Bundesliga for the first time, and in terms of age, Salihovic is still a year younger than himself. He is twenty-four years old and Salihovich is twenty-three.

You have to find a way to stimulate this teammate who can help him in midfield, otherwise he will not be able to play the rest of the game.

He walked over to Salichovich in a daze and said in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, man. Isn't your free kick very accurate? Why didn't you score a single penalty in this game? ”

Salihovic was still annoyed that the score had become 1-4, and he couldn't play this game, when he heard Chu Zhongtian's words. His confused gaze disappeared, and he glared at Chu Zhongtian angrily: "We only have one free kick in front of us so far, and the position is not good!" There is less attack, less free kicks in front, who do you say is to blame? "He was accusing Chu Zhongtian of not creating more opportunities for these frontcourt players.

Chu Zhongtian was criticized by him, but he was not angry, but laughed. Seeing Salihovic's expression, he knew that his agitation had succeeded.

He patted Salihovich on the shoulder: "Okay, I'll create chances for you, but you'd better not waste it!" ”

Salihovich waved his hand and knocked Chu Zhongtian's hand: "Let's talk about it when you create it!" ”

Two minutes after the restart, Chu Zhongtian created such a chance for Salihovic. At that time, he rushed to the front court to get the ball, looked left and right and did not find a suitable passing target, so while protecting the football, he waved his hand to signal his teammates in the backcourt to press boldly.

We've all lost three goals, so what's there to worry about? No matter how many goals you concede, you only lose three points, what are you afraid of? Come on, guys!

It was at this time that he was pushed down by Bremen's German international Frijns.

The referee's whistle blew and Hoffenheim won a free-kick from 20 yards out on the right side of the box.

Chu Zhongtian was not injured, he quickly got up from the ground, then picked up the football and walked to Salihovic, and stuffed the football into his arms: "This is what you said, I have created the opportunity, you can watch it yourself." ”

Salihovic was stunned at first, but when he reacted, he walked to the free-kick with the ball in his arms, and after placing it on the ground, he straightened up and stared viciously at the Bremen goal.

I'll prove it to you!

When Bremen's wall was lined up, Salihovic took two steps and then shot with his feet, and the ball arced around the wall of Bremen players and flew straight away from the goalkeeper's near corner!

For a moment, even the Bremen fans themselves thought it would be a goal.

But in the end, the ball hit the crossbar hard!

Salihovic looked up to the sky and sighed, it seemed that he had used more force, and he was still affected by Chu Zhongtian...... The ball bounced off the crossbar, Hoffenheim defender Camper, who was ambushed in the box, stretched out his foot to make up the shot, and the ball was pushed out on the goal line by Pizarro, who was back on the defending!

"Ahh Duan Bin shouted, thinking that the ball had gone in, but he didn't expect the football to fly out again in the next second.

Even Leif was shocked: "Judging from this attack, Hoffenheim's attack is not completely threatened, but their luck is really bad...... Two posts and one must-goal cleared from the goal line......"

Although he didn't score, the direct free-kick sparked Bremen's goalkeeper Wiese into a cold sweat, and he was already desperate as he watched the football go around the wall and into the near corner. He knows that he can't save this shot, the speed is fast, the arc is not big but just enough to go around the wall, and the angle he chooses is also very tricky.

Salihovic scored from a direct free-kick against Borussia Dortmund, but Wiese had no idea there was such a number one free-kick player in German football.

Salihovic's free-kick didn't go in, but when the ball hit the crossbar with a crisp sound, it seemed to hit the hearts of all Hoffenheim players.

They saw hope in this attack - it was really like Chu said before, the game was still so long, it was too early to give up now!

With that crossbar, we had two shots denied by the post and Comper's follow-up shot almost went in. If those two chances hadn't been denied by the post, we'd be 3-4 by now, just one goal away...... It's true that the game is not at the end of the day.

※※※Four minutes later, Hoffenheim made a comeback. This time, Chu Zhongtian was not the playmaker, because the attack was launched from the side, and he had been following up in the middle, but his teammates had no intention of passing. Baker broke through with the ball himself and he rekindled his fighting spirit, which is a good thing.

Chu Zhongtian did not shout for the ball, but has been following in the middle of the back, if Baker is going to pass the ball, he will go up to respond, even if Baker loses the ball, he can still grab in time or quickly return to the defense to fill the position, and temporarily make a cameo as a fullback.

Sure enough, Baker conceded the ball. As he cut inside, he was touched by Bremen's left-back Berisch and the ball rolled diagonally into the middle.

It was right between Chu Zhongtian and Frings.

Chu Zhongtian suddenly started to rush forward almost the moment Becker lost the ball, and Frins's reaction was more in line with a normal person's performance, he was slightly slower by half a beat, and only started to chase the ball when he saw that the football had rolled to his side. As a result, he lost the opportunity in the competition with Chu Zhongtian, and if he wanted to stop Chu Zhongtian from taking the ball, he could only foul and destroy it, so he stepped down and shoveled.

Chu Zhongtian risked being tackled in his ankle by Frins, rushed forward and stretched out his foot to poke the ball.

He managed to poke the ball away in front of Frins, but was also kicked by Frins, and fell headlong, rolling on the ground several times before stopping.

Referee Pell's whistle sounded again, and this time he unceremoniously showed a yellow card to Frijns.

Frings shook his head helplessly, then he walked towards Chu Zhongtian, pulled him up, and greeted him in German: "Are you okay?" ”

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "It's okay." ”

He moved his ankle and everything was fine.

Then he walked up to Salihovic, this time he didn't give the ball to the other side, because the ball was already in his hands, he just patted Salihovic on the shoulder, walked past him and didn't say anything.

Needless to say, he did everything he had to say.

Salihovic held the football in his hand, looked back at Chu Zhongtian's back, and also didn't say anything.

"Okay, Hoffenheim got another free-kick in front, this time a little bit more corrected than the last time. It was also Salihovic who came to take the penalty ......," Duan Bin introduced the basic situation to the TV audience. "Chinese player Chu Zhongtian is very active in the front court, and he is one of the few players in the Hoffenheim team who performs normally. He made two free-kicks in quick succession in four minutes. The last time Salihovic kicked a free-kick over the crossbar, this time ......"

While he was chattering like this, Salihovic had already set up the football, and Bremen's wall had been erected. This time Bremen was wary of him, and there was one more person in the wall than before, and all of them were big men. Mertesacker at 1.98 meters, Pizarro at 1.87 meters, Bernisch at 1.91 meters...... The big men stood in the middle of the wall, and Wiese felt safe in the back.

This is the effect he wants.

The referee, seeing that both sides were ready, stepped back and blew the whistle.

Salihovic runs and shoots with his left foot!

The soccer ball leaps high, goes around the walls of people who are also jumping high, and then begins to fall sharply. Almost sticking to the post and drilling into the right side of the goal!

And poor Wiese, watching the football fly into his goal, didn't even have time to make a save.

2:4！

Hoffenheim pull a goal back!
