Hoffenheim's players could clearly feel that their opponents had become more aggressive in the second half, with Bayern's players running and grabbing more than they did in the first half. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

They weren't surprised. If Bayern had been sluggish in the second half, they would have been surprised.

After a season in the Bundesliga, the Hoffenheim players have fully understood what it is like to be a team they previously considered their biggest rivals. They don't give up easily, especially when the outcome of this game is a matter of team glory.

Many people say that German football has the strongest will, and among them, Bayern Munich is even stronger.

In Europe, Bayern Munich is the face of German football. Because in the whole of Germany, only Bayern Munich has the most brilliant European results. Four European Champions Cups, one European Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Cup, and two Toyota Cups are admirable even in the entire European football world.

For the ambitious Rangnick and Hoppe, Bayern Munich is not just their goal in Germany, but also in European football. They hope that in a few years' time, Hoffenheim, a team from a small village, will also become the pride and face of German football.

Knowing the significance of Bayern Munich to German football, Hoffenheim's players did not underestimate the difficult situation in the second half, and at halftime Rangnick specifically told the players to pay attention to Bayern Munich's counterattack. Even if you are unfortunate enough to be equalised, don't panic and be patient first, so that you can have a cool head and play better in the most difficult moments.

Bayern Munich stepped up their attack in the second half, with Ribery appearing in the box on several occasions, looking for opportunities to score.

Chu Zhongtian did not keep a close eye on him, but relied on his birth body reaction and advanced consciousness to closely watch him from an appropriate distance.

As long as the Bayern players pass the football to him...... Ribery raised his arms in the box, and Tony and Podolski around him were doing the same, so he didn't have to worry about getting too noticed. At half-time, Heynckes praised Ribery's choice, saying it was a bold but effective move for him to cut into the box and continue to do so in the second half.

With the support of the manager, Ribery was even more daring in the second half.

Of course, he doesn't stay in it like a center forward and don't come out, when Bayern attacks, he will also actively participate in the midfield, and then when the football is close to the Hoffenheim penalty area, he surprisingly suddenly stepped forward and inserted it very resolutely into the hinterland of the Hoffenheim penalty area, at this time Bayern's football is often passed to the penalty area, and then under the cover of Tony and Podolski, looking for shooting opportunities, once the ball falls at his feet, with his excellent footwork, it is not difficult to score.

Therefore, it is precisely because of Ribery's careful observation that Chu Zhongcai did not choose to mark closely, it would be useless, he would hold the penalty area, anyway, no matter how Ribery was hanging outside, he would eventually come to the penalty area to solve the problem.

Chu Zhongtian was waiting for him there.

Ribery raised his hand to ask for the ball, the football was passed into the box by Sosa, and Toni jumped up and did not head the goal, but consciously returned the ball to Ribery.

Before Toni did this, he saw that there was nothing too obvious about Ribery's Hoffenheim defenders targeting Ribery, but when the football was pushed past him, he was surprised to find that the Hoffenheim captain was about to rush behind Ribery, and he wanted to call the police, but he couldn't do it himself.

He could only watch as Ribery had just received the ball, and under Chu Zhongtian's interference, he knocked the football away.

'Ribery's shot...... It's high! Chu's defense was successful! In the first half, Bayern's goal was scored through Franck Ribery's shot in the box, and from the second half, it seemed that Rangnick stepped up his marking of Ribery......"

Ribery was a little surprised, he turned his head and glared at Chu Zhongtian: "Don't tell me that you are defending me again in this game." ”

Chu Zhongtian said with a smile: "That's what I want to say to you, so leave the forbidden area as soon as possible, Frank." The midfield is where you should be, away from my goal. ”

Ribery snorted, "We'll see!" ”

Although Chu Zhongtian is difficult to entangle, he will not back down just because his opponent is Chu Zhongtian. On the contrary, the opponent is Chu Zhongtian, which can only arouse his fighting spirit. Because he originally wanted to compete with Chu, and now this face-to-face way is better. Is there a better way to get rid of Chu Zhongtian in a one-on-one and then shoot and score?

No.

Ribery and Bayern Munich soon made a comeback.

This time Ribery dribbled the ball in the midfield, Chu Zhongtian did not pounce on the defense, he stayed in front of the big penalty area, and behind him were the central defenders Compper and Pell. Nelson. Ribery dribbled the ball down the flank and then cut inside, and he didn't pass the ball but passed the ball to Schweinsteiger in the middle.

After passing the ball, he accelerated into the box.

Schweinsteiger passed the ball back to him, and just as he received the ball, Chu Zhongtian crossed in front of him.

Ribery didn't slow down, he flicked the ball outward, trying to break through Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian's reaction was also quite fast, and at the same time as Ribery dialed the ball, he also quickly fell to the ground, split his legs, and made a standard tackle on the spot.

Ribery's soccer ball was stopped by his outstretched leg.

Ribery was about to take advantage of the situation, but Chu Zhongtian's leg was in front of him, and he hit the football as if he had hit a wall, and it bounced back. After Ribery realized what Chu Zhongtian had done, he immediately thought of how to take advantage of this. The ball didn't go away anyway, he took advantage of the situation and fell forward and fell in the box. In order to attract the attention of the referee, when he was thrown in the air, he also opened his arms and raised them high, as if he was raising his hands to signal - if the action is normal in normal times, but when the center of gravity cannot be maintained, shouldn't the person's conditioned reflex be to open his arms and try to maintain balance? It was a little obvious that Ribery was going to raise his hand...... So when he fell to the ground, he didn't hear the referee's whistle, he turned his head to look, only to see the referee hooking his hand at him, and then made a gesture to continue playing.

"Chu's defense is very beautiful and not foul! Ribery underestimated his former team-mate too much, and did such a simple pass want to make a breakthrough? ”

"Chu has always given the impression of a Hoffenheim midfield commander who seems to be incredibly talented in attack, but everyone must have forgotten that he originally established himself in Metz defensively. He's just as good defensively! Look at this defense, just as Ribery's left foot touched the football and wanted to pluck the ball, Chu had already lowered his center of gravity, parted his legs, and made a tackle! Simply immaculate defense! ”

"Hey!" Ribery saw that the referee did not say anything, and he slapped the ground in anger.

Chu Zhongtian ignored his protests, after he intercepted the ball, he quickly got up and passed the football out again, and then he turned his head to look at Ribery and smiled at him: "Get up, Frank." ”

"Damn it......" Ribery muttered as he got up from the ground.

When he ran past Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian reached out and patted Ribery's head.

Ribery ran back to his camp and Hoffenheim's fast break was over and Obbasi fired the ball into the air without posing much of a threat to Bout's goal.

Schweinsteiger approached Ribery: "Frank, that Chu cares a lot about you." ”

Ribery looked at Chu Zhongtian in the distance and nodded: "Because I am a dangerous person." ”

Schweinsteiger pouted: "Let's take a different approach, you come to attract their defensive attention, and then hand over the football to me, and I'll figure it out." ”

Frank. Hearing Schweinsteiger say this, Ribery looked back and turned to look at his teammates beside him: "You're right, piggy." But I still have to try a few more times to get their defensive attention to me, to pass me more and to make them think that we are the main attacker. ”

It sounds like Ribery intends to cooperate with Schweinsteiger's tactics, but in fact, Ribery is selfish, which is a high-sounding excuse so that he can get more passes and more chances, so that he can win in the heads-up with Chu Zhongtian. After all, there are eleven men on a team, and it is impossible to pass the ball to his feet every time he attacks. But when he said that, most of the football would be passed on to him.

Schweinsteiger didn't think about it that much, he just felt that what Ribery said made sense, so he passed the football to him many times in the following games.

※※※ Now a fool can see that Ribery and Chu Zhongtian are together, as long as Ribery gets the ball, no matter what position he is, he will definitely find Chu Zhongtian in the end.

And Chu Zhongtian also left the others alone and defended Ribery.

They played each other three times, two times the football was destroyed by Chu Zhongtian before the breakthrough, and once Ribery temporarily broke through Chu Zhongtian with his amazing footwork, but when he shot the goal, he was caught up by Chu Zhongtian from behind with a flying tackle, blocking the ball he shot out of the bottom line, giving Bayern a corner kick, and this corner Bayern did not catch it, in the penalty area full of long people, Ribery, who was not dominant on the header, did not even consciously enter the penalty area.

For the fourth time, Ribery received a call from Van Brown. The pass that Bommel gave him, this time he didn't cut inside on the side all the way to the penalty area, this time he turned around and cut to the middle after receiving the ball, took the football, kept accelerating, and went to Chu Zhongtian.

Come on, Chu!

Chu Zhongtian saw Ribery with the ball, and he didn't even change his position, so he stayed in the ribs, waiting for Ribery to rush towards him.

Come on, Frank!

Ribery didn't deliberately control his speed when he dribbled the ball, so he could control the ball easily, and he quickly increased his speed from first gear to fifth gear like a Ferrari on a straight highway. Looking at the posture, he didn't look like he was going to pass others, but it seemed like he was going to die with Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian stared closely at Ribery's feet, carefully observing his cadence and the amplitude of his body swing, and at the same time, in the process, the center of gravity of his body fell lower and lower, leaning forward, almost squatting on the ground.

In defense, Chu Zhongtian rarely has such a preoccupied posture, most opponents can stop the ball as long as he stretches his legs, but against Ribery, this trick may not work.

Ribery naturally also noticed Chu Zhongtian's appearance, because when he was dribbling the ball at high speed, he would constantly look up and observe.

When he was less than ten meters away from Chu Zhongtian, he was still accelerating and dribbling the ball in a straight line. When the distance is too close, the player does not have time to make a move, and if he wants to pass, he should have prepared in advance, he should slow down first, and then make a move to shake off the opponent, but there is no sign of this in Ribery.

Chu Zhongtian was also a little puzzled, because he couldn't guess what Ribery wanted to do now. Passing, passing, or just shooting at goal can all be ...... When the distance between the two reached three meters, Ribery still had no intention of slowing down and changing direction, and it looked like he was going to fight Chu Zhongtian hand-to-hand.

Chu Zhongtian planned to make the first move, of course he knew that it would be a big risk to make the first move in the defense. But there was nothing else he could do, his instincts told him that Ribery was unlikely to collide with him, because that was not his purpose, so it was better to do it himself and see what Ribery was going to do.

Ribery took another step forward, and at this moment, he saw Chu Zhongtian stretch out his foot towards the football at his feet, which was exactly what he wanted to see. So he suddenly adjusted his pace, adjusted the previous big stride to a small broken step, followed him to take the first step, stabbed the football to the side, and at the same time pushed his hands forward, using Chu Zhongtian's body as a wall, jumping in the air to change direction, and was about to chase the ball!

Chu Zhongtian had just stretched out his feet at this time, and he hadn't had time to adjust his center of gravity, so how could he quickly turn around and chase after him? So if you want to stop Ribery, this is the time. He did not hesitate, did not become a wall for Ribery to push, but stretched out his hands and firmly grasped Ribery's arm, like a tug-of-war, Ribery jumped in the air, with nothing to rely on, and no way to exert force, he couldn't break free, he could only watch the football get farther and farther away from him, and then was kicked out by the Hoffenheim central defender Comper.

It was at this time that the referee's whistle sounded.

"Chu Zhongtian pulls people to foul! He pulled Ribery, but it was the right choice, and if he didn't, Ribery would have broken through. Ribery's breakthrough is wonderful, but Chu Zhongtian knows how to use the rules more reasonably! Although Chu Zhongtian relied on fouls to stop Ribery, Duan Bin still threw the beautiful words to him.

Of course, this is not unfounded, the famous German football commentator Marcel. Leif also expressed his appreciation for Chu Zhongtian's decision. From Hoffenheim's standpoint, Chu Zhongtian's foul is the best choice. It's about 30 metres from the box, a little to the left, so it's a good spot for a free-kick, but it's better than letting Ribery into the box and giving him a penalty, right?

Looking at the referee's blow, Ribery's performance is clear. He shook his arm in annoyance, very unhappy with Chu Zhongtian's foul. If Chu Zhongtian didn't foul, he would have entered it one by one, as long as he entered the forbidden area, he would slow down again, and no one around him would dare to do anything to him. At that point, the entire forbidden area will be its own world.

"This should be a red card! Clear! Ribery yelled angrily at Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian waved his finger at him: "In this position, at most there is a yellow card, Frank." ”

As soon as the words fell, the referee ran over with a yellow card in his hand.

Chu Zhongtian winked at Ribery, then turned around and accepted the yellow card very sincerely.

Ribery was very unhappy with the referee's decision, and he squeezed over to put pressure on the referee: "This is obviously a red card foul!" ”

The referee shook his head and disagreed.

Ribery turned his head to see Chu Zhongtian who was smiling at him, and said angrily: "Okay, Chu." You've got a yellow card now, and you've got another red card. It's nothing, it's just a matter of time. ”

"I'm not that stupid, Frank."

"Sometimes, circumstances will force you to be stupid, Chu!" Ribery put down the harsh words and ran to get the ball.

Bayern Munich won a free-kick that was taken by Ribery himself, but the ball he kicked straight into the wall and bounced off the touchline.

Seeing the ball pop off the sideline, Ribery shook his head.

He wouldn't scold Chu Zhongtian for being despicable and shameless, and fouls are also part of defense, even part of a football game. He can only say that Chu Zhongtian is indeed difficult to entangle, four years ago it was difficult, and it is still difficult four years later.

But today is different, Chu Zhongtian already has a yellow card, as long as he continues to break through, there will always be a time, Chu Zhongtian's impermeable defense will have loopholes, as long as he can catch it, he can become a hero!

Ribery thought so, and so did the other Bayern players, and the double back of Chu Zhongtian and Weiss in this game was quite successful, so they didn't have any good chances, so they could only start the ball on the side and rely on Toney's header advantage to create a killing chance. But this kind of offensive routine is too monotonous.

Now the rock-solid Chu Zhongtian has a yellow card for defending Ribery, and a crack has appeared in the wall of sighs. It's their chance, and as long as they keep hitting that, they can always open up the situation and get straight to Hoffenheim.

So despite Ribery's upset that Chu Zhongtian did not receive a red card, Rangnick was still a little emotional off the field. Of course, he knew what it meant for Chu Zhongtian to be hit by a yellow card. Bayern Munich's players will be like those wolves that smell blood, frantically tearing Chu Zhongtian's body.

If Chu Zhongtian is sent off in this game, no matter what the final result of this game is, the next away game against Schalke 04 will not be able to play, which will also be a very bad situation for the team. The core of the team can't be played, or challenge strong opponents away, and whether the league championship can still be won, the suspense is still very big...... Even Duan Bin then realized this, and no longer praised Chu Zhongtian for his decisive offense, but instead became worried about Chu Zhongtian.

In everyone's opinion, Chu Zhongtian is in a dilemma: because he has a yellow card, if he continues to maintain a high-intensity defense in the face of Bayern's attack, then sooner or later he will receive a second yellow card for a foul, so he will be sent off and miss the last round of the league, and the outcome of the game is undecided. If he relents and takes care of his cards, Bayern Munich can use him as a breakthrough point to threaten Hoffenheim's goal. If the midfielders don't play properly, the pressure on the centre-backs and goalkeepers will be high, and Bayern have multiple attack points, so it will not be difficult for them to score.

But what about Chu Zhongtian?
