With little time left in the game, Chu Zhongtian decided to put aside the tactical strategy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info play unscrupulously in the last time.

Inter attacked, and this time they were unable to get into the Hoffenheim penalty area, but were intercepted by Sana in midfield.

Sana, who intercepted the ball, passed the football to Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian was in the middle circle when he received the ball, he received the ball and turned around and took a step forward, just out of the middle circle, at this time, the players of Inter Milan had not yet pounced. According to Chu Zhongtian's convention, at this time, he either split the side or ran forward with the ball by himself.

Who would have thought that Chu Zhongtian had just taken the football out of the middle circle, and suddenly came with a long shot!

"Chu is taking ...... Long shot-! ”

The narrators were taken aback by him.

Although Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot was a sudden arrow, it did not hit high, judging from the height, it was quite threatening, and it was likely to answer within the range of the door frame!

Cesar also seemed unprepared for Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot, and when the football flew over, he made a save and did not touch the football. However, the football did not hit the frame of the goal, and he almost flew out of the bottom line by grazing the goalpost!

"Oh!" There was a loud inhalation sound from the Meazza Stadium. This is what Inter fans are afraid to ...... "What a quality long-range shot!!" ”

"The Inter players didn't expect him to shoot straight at that place!"

"Let's look at slow motion...... It's just a little bit close! It's a pity! If this goal is scored, it will definitely be the best goal in the Champions League this season! More than 40 meters away! ”

The commentators exclaimed.

Although Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot ended Hoffenheim's attack, he did not complain that he wasted a chance. On the contrary, everyone saw it as a morale-boosting blow.

Sana also gave him a thumbs up as he ran back to defend.

Cambiaso grinned behind his back - how dare he get up at such a distance...... Doesn't he know where the team is now? They need to score, every attacking opportunity should be treated with caution, just start in such a hurry, how can they score?

With a two-goal lead that made Inter's players less focused on attack, Hoffenheim were given more attacking opportunities and soon they were back in the picture.

Chu Zhongtian didn't shoot directly this time, and when his teammates passed the football to him, he took the initiative to leak the football. Sneijder, who came up to grab him, pounced.

The ball he missed was picked up by Ibisevic, who had dropped back.

Chu Zhongtian turned around and ran forward after the ball was leaked, and Ibisevic saw him step forward and passed the ball over.

This time, the Inter Milan player who came up to force Chu Zhongtian was replaced by Cambiaso.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian still didn't catch the ball, and in the face of Ibisevic's pass, he stepped directly over the football!

"What?" Cambiaso was a little taken aback and didn't catch the ball twice in a row...... He really didn't expect it.

Chu Zhongtian leaked the football to Salihovic behind him.

Salihovic also didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to leak the football to himself, but fortunately, he was experienced and reacted quickly enough, so he immediately passed the football in. Inter's defence was not monolithic thanks to Cambiasso's forward pounce, and this hasty cross had an unexpected effect, and the ball fell to Ruud van Nistelrooy!

The Dutch shooter shoots with his feet up!

Julio. Cesar made a world-class save to save the close-range shot!

"Oh, Cesar!! Nice save! ”

The ball flew off the crossbar and Cesar jumped up from the ground, clapping his teammates loudly to remind them to defend and not to give them a chance to score in the last minute.

After all, a two-goal lead is not the same as a one-goal lead, and an away goal is not the same as two away goals.

If Hoffenheim had scored another goal before the end of the game to make it 2-3, Inter's second leg would have been a bad one, and Hoffenheim would have left the Meazza Stadium with their heads held high and returned to Hoffenheim to be cheered by their fans and touted by the media.

He Ping praised Chu Zhongtian's performance in this attack: "He didn't touch the ball at all, but he was the well-deserved core of this attack, he could pull the opponent's defense away without touching the ball, and at the same time create opportunities for his teammates!" Such a performance...... It's simply world-class! ”

Don't think that He Ping said this out of pride as a fellow Chinese. In Europe, the commentators of the TV media were full of praise for Chu Zhongtian's performance.

"Chu's performance is truly pleasing to the eye! Playing with two runs and missing the ball in one attack helped the team pass the football to the danger zone, which is really rare in world football! ”

"I don't know what's going on, but from that long-range shot just now, Chu seems to have changed as a different person. He became ...... How so? More flexible? Or is it even more elusive......"

"The organization of this consecutive leaks is a classic! It's a pity that Ruud van Nistelrooy didn't score the ball, otherwise this goal could have been on the list of the top 10 goals in the Champions League this season! ”

Not only the commentators were surprised, but even Hoffenheim's teammates found it incredible.

Salihovic almost completed an assist, but he didn't have the heart to feel sorry for this attempted assist, he pulled Chu Zhongtian and asked him: "Why did you leak the ball?" ”

Chu Zhongtian shrugged at him: "I suddenly thought of it." ”

"Oh my God, can you tell me beforehand? I wasn't prepared at all! Salihovich complained.

"Don't be funny, Sayad. If I told you in advance, wouldn't the other party know? ”

"This ......" Salihovic thought for a moment and felt that what Chu Zhongtian said also made sense. Inter Milan obviously knows Hoffenheim thoroughly, and Inter Milan understands any Hoffenheim habitual style of play that has been negotiated in advance.

"So, from now on, we can only rely on our tacit understanding." He blinked.

Mourinho got up from his seat, and Chu Zhongtian's performance in the final fifteen minutes of the match made him smell dangerous. He could no longer sit comfortably in the dugout.

"We're a little bit slack defensively!" He complained to his assistant coach before standing up and yelling at the players on the field, "Focus! Shrink the defense! Don't give them that chance!! ”

When he roared like this, Chu Zhongtian was dribbling the ball on the field, and he leaned into the penalty area, attracting Cambiaso and Mota, and finally he managed to break through from the bag of the two people, but there was no ball at his feet. The football did not break the players of Inter Milan, but was very covertly knocked the football with his heel to Sana who was inserted behind him when he was sprinting.

Sana dribbled the ball into the box and was brought to the ground by Lucio as soon as he entered the box.

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands burst into loud boos: "Foul!!!" ”

Hoffenheim's players also raised their hands for a foul on Lucio and they deserved a penalty. The Hoffenheim players and coaches on the bench also rushed out of their seats and took penalties to the referee.

But the referee just signaled for the game to continue, and at the same time told Sana to get up from the ground and not lose time.

"The referee didn't award a penalty!"

Lucio kicked the ball in front and Inter went on the offensive without even giving the TV time to replay the controversial footage.

When Sana saw that the referee didn't blow, he jumped up from the ground in anger and rushed to the referee, stopping him and questioning him.

Instead of earning the team a penalty, he was shown a yellow card for being disrespectful to the referee.

Sana's opening line was "fuck you", and you can imagine the result. It's okay that he didn't get a red card.

Chu Zhongtian pulled him away and pushed him again, telling him to hurry back to the defense and not get entangled with the referee here.

Although Chu Zhongtian did not intend to dwell on this penalty, the lack of a penalty still had a big impact on the team.

Rangnick kept ranting from the sidelines and was also warned by the fourth official.

The commentators also expressed their opinions: "I think it's just an obvious penalty ......"

"Lucio's action is not obvious, and Sana is likely to take the initiative to find a penalty......"

"At such a sensitive moment, the referee will not give a penalty casually!"

Everyone's debate on whether this is a penalty has changed their attention to Chu Zhongtian's heel knock pass in the ball just now.

Even Jose Mourinho focused his attention on the penalty kick, giving the referee a thumbs up off the pitch and believing his decision was a no-brainer.

At the same time, he didn't forget to grimace at Rangnick.

The controversial penalty ended the suspense of the game, Hoffenheim lost his fighting spirit and motivation after the penalty was not awarded, and although Chu Zhongtian still worked hard, he needed the cooperation of other teammates to play a delicate game. If his teammates don't help, he can't help it.

In the end, Hoffenheim lost the game with a score of 1:3 on the road. The score was quite favorable for Inter Milan, who almost reached the quarter-finals with one foot.

Hoffenheim, on the other hand, have not completely lost hope, at least 1:3 is better than 0:3, and a goal away means that everything is still possible.

The problem is just that Rangnick has to get the team out of this game and find a way to attack when he returns to home.

I hope Chu Zhongtian's amazing performance at the last moment can give him a little inspiration.

At the end of the game, Rangnick, who shook hands with Mourinho, seemed very helpless, his tactics were all guessed by the other party, but he did not guess Mourinho's tricks, and the result was such a one-sided. If it weren't for Chu Zhongtian's play, I was afraid that he would lose face at all, plus there was no hope, 0:3, there would be basically no need to play in the next round, and Inter Milan would definitely advance.

Mourinho patted Rangnick on the shoulder with a victorious expression, which made Rangnick feel even more depressed.

The depressed person is Chu Zhongtian, he really wants to score another goal away from home, so that it will be much better to return to the home game in the next round, as long as he plays a 1:0, he can advance.

But...... Maybe that penalty really deserves to be awarded?

He didn't know.

In fact, after the game, the media also focused on the "penalty", the German media thought that the penalty was undoubted, and the Italian media thought that if the penalty was awarded, it would be the biggest scandal - "Because UEFA is optimistic about Hoffenheim, the referee must also be optimistic about Hoffenheim." ”

Hoffenheim has clearly become a model for hugging thighs. In Germany, Hoffenheim boss Mr. Hopper has a good relationship with the president of the German Football Association and others, and this personal relationship is considered by the media to play a crucial role in the process of turning the drug test gate incident into a small one. Now they have a hook up with UEFA.

In slow motion, there was indeed physical contact between Sana and Lucio, but there were different opinions on whether a penalty should be awarded, and there was no authoritative answer to the correct answer.

"Lucio knocked me down, there's no doubt about it, it really should be a penalty!" After the match, Lorik was interviewed in the mixed area. Sana also looked unconvinced. He also received a yellow card for the game, leaving him with a hidden danger for future Champions League matches - he will be automatically suspended for one match if he receives another yellow card. The red and yellow card suspension rules of the Champions League are slightly different from those of other league and cup competitions, because the group stage is a two-legged home-and-away system, and there are more games, so in the group stage, three yellow cards must be accumulated before one automatic suspension, and after three yellow cards, one automatic suspension will be made for every two yellow cards accumulated. At the same time, yellow cards in the group stage were carried to the knockout stage. Sana received a yellow card in the group stage and was taken to the knockout round, and this game received another yellow card, as long as he eats another one, he will be automatically suspended. Even if Hoffenheim can knock out Inter Milan, as long as he receives a third yellow card, he will miss the first leg of the quarter-finals. It seemed that arguing with the referee about the penalty was a bit unreasonable, but it was really important for the team at the time, and Sana didn't care about a few yellow cards on him.

Lucio, who was one of the parties, did not think he had committed a foul: "I touched him, but it was just normal physical contact, I didn't even use force, and he fell on his own." As a player, everybody knows what's going on...... "He didn't just say that Sana faked a fall, but everyone knows what that means.

In the post-match press conference, the controversial decision also became a point of contention between journalists and managers.

The German journalist asked Mourinho directly: "It was a penalty, right?" ”

Mourinho grimaced and said: "Obviously not. After the match, Lucio told me that the opponent was faking a fall, and I believed in my players. The referee made a very correct decision and I know it's not easy to enforce in a game like the Champions League knockout round, not to mention that our opponents are still the 'dark horses' of UEFA. "It's really a madman, and he doesn't forget to satirize UEFA that he has always looked down on.

Rangnick said it was definitely a penalty: "It's definitely a penalty, no problem at all. Our players are pushed down in the penalty area, and if no penalty is awarded for such a foul, then what is there to be deserved to be awarded a penalty? ”

Italian reporters told him that Sana's fall was an exaggeration.

'Sana is a very honest player and I know him well. He can't fake falls, and in Germany, he is always a victim of fake falls, and he always hates fake falls. "Rangnick is angry that there are players who question him. He then refused to answer the question of whether it was a penalty, preferring to talk about Chu Zhongtian's goal, but the reporters were not interested here, except for a few Chinese media outlets who were concerned about Chu Zhongtian's goal...... Even after the press conference ended, the debate about the foul in the final stages of the game continued in the online media.

Everyone was arguing about the penalty, Chu Zhongtian's performance in this game, only that goal was noticed, and as for his sudden outburst in the final stage, he was drowned in a lot of saliva.

※※※After the game, Chu Zhongtian kept receiving calls and text messages from reporters he knew well, wanting him to talk about the penalty.

Chu Zhongtian was tired of this kind of discussion.

"A loss is a loss, there's nothing to complain about. It doesn't matter if that penalty is awarded or not...... I didn't know, I wasn't there, I didn't see it all. But Sana said he was knocked down hard by Lucio...... What's the use of that? The game is over, is it possible to keep hyping that penalty to get us a second away goal? ”

Chu Zhongtian is so disgusted by this kind of hype because this kind of controversy affects the team.

On the way back to Sinsheim from Milan, their team-mates also talked about the penalty and everyone thought that if it wasn't for the referee's favour towards Inter, they should have gone home in a good mood instead of being depressed here.

It seemed that as long as that penalty was awarded, then they could now go home happy.

But they didn't think about it, they didn't have many chances in the whole game, and if that was the case, they would be satisfied. So what about the second round? Inter are still ahead on aggregate, so can they expect another penalty or a couple at home?

Chu Zhongtian believes that it was the media reports that influenced the thoughts of his teammates. This upset him.

"We should take a long-term view and have one round to go. There is no point in dwelling on a game that has already ended. He told the media and his teammates.

There are many people in the team who have been affected by this penalty, and only a few people have not taken the penalty to heart, Chu Zhongtian is one, and Rangnick is also one.

Rangnick was struggling to figure out how to beat Inter Milan and didn't have time to bother with the question of whether the penalty should be awarded or not, the game was over, what he had to say was said in the post-match press conference, and now he doesn't want to waste any more saliva and energy on the past. Judging by the first leg, his team performed poorly, Inter controlled the game and Hoffenheim had basically no decent chances.

With two weeks to go until round two, he'll have to figure out how to do it before then.
